Chapter 2
a dream
The young girl was running in the desert and chasing her was a huge monster. She heard the male voice that called her not long ago, "Iris!" The girl ran as fast as she could but the monster came closer. Just then a blinding light came from the sun and a fiery bird destroyed the monster. The girl was amazed and stared at this amazing creature.
"Find the Pharoah and fulfill the prophecy, it's the only way..." The bird said.
"The only way to find what?" The girl asked.
"To open the door..."
"The door to what?" The girl was confused and the fact that the bird was disappearing wasn't helping.
"You must find it, to open it..."
"What?"
"Pharoah..." The bird disappeared and the girl stood there star struck. Just then a black cloud turned into an evil black spirit and it swallowed the girl as she screamed.
dream ends
The girl sat up quickly with her face drenched in sweat. She quickly looked around the room. She had never been so scared in her life. "Hold on a sec!" Yugi yelled from outside the room, "I need to check on the girl." The girl held tightly onto the sheets as the door slowly cracked opened and Yugi poked his head in. "Oh, you're up!" Yugi swung the door the rest of the way and walked in. "You ok? You look a little sweaty..." Yugi said laughing a bit.
"Pharoah?" The girl said softly.
"Huh? Oh no, I'm not..." Yugi laughed. The girl stood up and knelt down in front of him. "Uhh..."
"My Pharoah..."
"Uhh...I'm not the Pharoah." Yugi said helping the girl up.
"You're not..."
"No." Yugi laughed again. "The Pharoah's spirit is sealed inside this Millineum puzzle." Yugi said holding the puzzle. The girl looked at the puzzle, the same pyramid she had saw not long ago in the cave. "My name is Yugi, and you are?"
"My name's Iris."
"Well, Iris, me and my friends are going to get some lunch, wanna come?" The girl nodded slowly and followed Yugi out of the door.
"Ummm, where am I?" Iris said finally.
"This is Domino City, though we may not have any ancient pyramids or pharoahs ruling over us, it's still a pretty cool city to live in." Yugi laughed as they headed to where Joey, Tea and Tristan were.
"...oh..." The girl hung her head and closed her eyes. The friends walked out of the shop and Iris trailed behind them.
"What's the matter with her?" Joey asked leaning over to Yugi.
"I'm not sure, but I'm guessing she must be homesick." Yugi told him.
"Maybe it's just me..." Tristan said leaning over to Yugi. "But I've got a bad feeling about her."
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know, something about her just doesn't feel right. You don't feel that?"
"...N..no."
"I know what he means." Tea said looking at the sky. "I don't think we should trust her, or even keep her around. Everytime we take on someone who just drops in, it means either major trouble for us, for you...or even the Pharoah."
"Well what do you want me to do about it? The Pharoah says something's familiar about her and I think we need to keep her around until we figure out what's going on. Who knows? She may have some key to unlocking the Pharoah's past." Yugi said smiling.
"But still...until then, I'm not going to trust her." Tristan told him.
"Same here." Tea agreed. Iris' necklace started glowing, but this time it glowed black and no one, not even Iris noticed it. An evil spirit came out of the necklace smiling and slipped down the corner of the street to search for it's host.
At Kaiba Corp.
Seto Kaiba sat in his chair in his office and stared out the window and up at the sky like he had been doing all day long. "Why do I keep thinking something is going to go wrong?" Just then Mokuba walked in.
"Seto?"
"What do you want, Mokuba?"
"I was wondering if it would be ok if I went out for a while."
"Why?"
"No reason, I just need some fresh air and somewhere to strech my legs."
"Fine, but don't get into any trouble."
"I won't Seto." Mokuba ran out of the room and closed the door behind him. Seto watched as his younger brother ran out of Kaiba Corp. smiling.
'He better not get into any trouble.' Kaiba thought to himself, turning back towards his desk. Mokuba slowed down and started to walk down the street. He was going to his favorite place, the place where he always went to cool down after being stuck inside all day. A small hill sat right outside the city and on it was a tree where he liked to rest and dream for what seemed like hours before coming back to Kaiba Corp. There was only one way to get to it, and that was going through a long, dark alley. Mokuba turned into this alley and slowly looked around. Even though it was light everywhere else, the alley was dark.
"This alley seems darker than it normally was." Mokuba said looking around. He was right, the alley somehow was getting darker by the second and now he could barely see the light at the end of the alley. All of a sudden, he heard a dark and maniacal laugh. "What was that? Who's there?" The voice laughed again. "Hello? Answer me!" Once more the voice laughed as the dark spirit that had left Iris' necklace forced itself into Mokuba making him scream in pain.
back with Yugi and his friends
Iris started to get a little dizzy. "Yugi..." Iris said weakly. Just as Yugi and the gang turned towards her, she fainted.
Sorry, gotta stop there. Ok, I've already decided the route this story is going to go on and I noticed it's not exactly going to work the same way the show did. I'd explain it more, but...I really don't wanna give away the ending. Let's just say, the same way the show ends isn't necisarily going to be the same way in this story. This is kinda taking my own lead on the show, haha. That's the only problem, to make the story interesting and better, I had to kinda change the story line up a bit. Don't worry, the characters will still be the same, there's just a different way the Pharoah gets his memories back and junk like that. I'm just warning you now so that I don't get killed for it later. Hopefully that won't make you stop reading the story, cuz it's going to be awesome. Just wait till you see what happens! I can't wait!
