Hey! Well, not to stall you, but If you've gotten this far, review!

Joey looked to Tahira, to Terrah. They did have their resemblances. " If I'm Jounichi, and Jounichi's me, does that mean I have a twin in Egypt? " he said scratching his head. " Whoa, this is confusing. " he said as he stared at Tahira. "So .what next? "He said abruptly.

Atemu rolled his eyes at Tahirah. "I hope you are quite done." He bluntly said. "And as for 'what next' I would like to think you already know that answer, judging by the guards around you." He nodded to the guards as he spoke to Joey.

" Geh! " he said as he stumbled back. " Is it me, or is everyone always against us, even our own selves! " he said sweatdropping. " They better have a toilet in the prison " he replied in a huff.

Tahirah stood calmly in between the guards and Joey, Terrah, and Yami. Her gold eyes never left Atemu. "Pharoah, do you realize how useless it is to confine them? After all, she.." A nod to Terrah. "--would already know about this palace and its secrets." Her tone was calm. 'Eh! The heck is Ms. Freaky Twin yapping about!' Terrah thought, confused.

Yami side glanced at Joey. "Um.. somehow I believe that this dinner... will be the last time we will eat."

Joey froze. This was the real deal then. His face changed from humourous, to determined. " Well, we better do some fast convincin' " he stated simply.

"If we wanna convince them, our best bet is to shut up...my weirdo doppelganger seems to know what she's talking about," Terrah stated, looking over to her two companions.

Atemu stared at Tahirah. "Huh. And what do you propose I do with them? They surely are not staying anywhere near me, nor my kingdom. Besides, I have a friend of their's that I'm sure they would like to see, confided downstairs."

Terrah looked towards Atemu, and proceeded to trounce her own advice "Huh? What do you mean 'a friend of ours'?" she asked, struggling to keep her voice composed. Tahirah looked towards Terrah and the others, keeping herself quiet briefly.

Atemu yawned lightly. "Well, my patience is running thin. Take them away already." He waved a hand dismissively, and disappeared into a nearby doorway.

"What-!" Terrah tensed, shifting to stand "Little f-"
"Calm down.." The soft words were from Tahirah. She looked at them "Cooperate for now, I will talk to him."
"And we trust you...why?"
"You would consider yourself untrustworthy?"
"...I see." Terrah relaxed, sighing.

Joey watched Atemu exit the room. " Why that--!" he yelled shaking his fist. Before he got to finish, he felt himself being pushed by pointed objects. He turned around to see guards urging him forward. " Geh..." he mumured as he began to walk forward.

Yami looked at the doorway to where Atemu disappeared. "This sounds weird... but I hate my past self." He said out loud as he felt his arm being grabbed.. quite forcefully. He turned his head to look at the amazingly tall guard and was pulled away to where the trio would be locked up.

Terrah followed Joey and Yami upon the urging of the guards "I'm not sure about mine," she grumbled in reply to Yami, glancing back before walking along.

Tahirah sighed, then turned and followed the Pharoah. "Atemu, you are so stubborn sometimes," she stated, using his first-name as she had always done when they were alone.

Atemu snorted, as if in response. Then retorted, "If I wasn't stubborn, the whole Egyptian kingdom would go to hell, and you know it."

" Well, at least yours has the guts to stand up to 'im! " Joey exclaimed, as he felt another hard shove to his back. " Quit it will ja!" he said as he turned his head around. "I can walk fine on my own. "He grumbled, as the guard decided to poke him again for the heck of it.

( And the guard is me in disguise! eheh..)

Terrah shrugged "Don't know, Joey...she seems to know him pretty well."

Tahirah rolled her eyes, smirking slightly. "That's true...but have you really thought about those three?" she inquired as a calm reprimand.

Yami decided to stop abruptly, just to see what would happen, only to be shoved even harder. Man, why do I have to get the amazingly tall one? Yami thought to himself.

Atemu sighed. "Of course I've thought about them. I'm not stupid you know, but they needed to be disposed of at once. I can't have them running around as me, you, and Jonouchi."

Terrah kept herself at a pace that prevented her from getting poked, pushed, or whatever. Matter of fact, the guards looked kind of scared to touch her.

Tahirah looked at him directly now as they walked "I understand that, but, as a Millenium Item, I know they are not just impersonating us...they /are/ us." She knew Atemu disliked her referring to herself as an 'Item', but it was true.

The guard holding onto Yami stopped in front of the prison bars, fumbling with the many keys and finally finding the right one. He unlocked the door and threw Yami inside. "Your friend the Pharoah spoke about should be with you shortly." The gaurd grunted, before retiring back up the stairs.

Atemu glared at Tahirah. "I know that! Like I said, I'm not that stupid. I still can't have them around here running wild."

Terrah was thrown in behind Yami, landing a bit awkwardly and tearing her dress a bit. "Ow..." She sat up "Polite, much..."

Tahirah sighed "So you would rather kill them, then? Atemu, what makes you think they have any idea what's going on? I know you don't want them running free, but why not try /talking/ to them?"

Joey felt himself led into the cell. Thrown in, he looked like a disowned mutt at the pound. " Well, this is great. " he said bluntly. "Think he'll be changing his mind any time soon? "He said as he looked over to Yami. " I really don't think this place will be getting a redecoration anytime soon. " he grunted, and looked up to the new arrival.

"Yea, I would rather kill them. And I'm afraid talking is not an option for me right now. What am I gonna exactly talk to THEM about?" Atemu snorted. "I'm certainly not going to talk to them now. I'm tired, I have a big day tomorrow, and I'd rather not have to deal with them.

"Somehow... I doubt he'd be changing his mind..." Yami looked up at a guard holding the new arrival...

Tahirah nodded "I understand." She knew better than to push it too far, knowing he had far too much on his shoulders to afford one of his closest friends breathing down his neck. 'If I'm right, though, that girl...she won't be affected by the lack of sustenance, and if the others die before I convince you...we'll have a serious problem' she thought.

Lolz. Cliff hangers. Only updating this so Moody and I can laugh at how bad we were at writing.
