Yugioh: New Lives
Chapter 2
New Identities and a new challenge.
The plane landed at about 2 pm and the gang split up and returned to their homes. They all agreed to meet at the card shop the next morning. Atem, Yugi, and Solomon all went to the card shop to work out the identity issues.
"Well, it sure seems like we have some things that need to be taken care of." He said while looking at the two teenagers.
"Yeah grandpa, what are we going to do?" Yugi asked worriedly.
"Well, I was thinking about that on the plane, and here is what I came up with. Atem, when you are around anyone who does not know who you really are, you will pretend to be Yugi. That means that when you are in a tournament, hanging around with your friends, or at school, since you will have to have an education, you will basically be Yugi." Solomon said to the former pharaoh.
"Well, that will work for me, but what about Yugi?" Atem asked.
"Yeah, what will I do?" asked Yugi.
"Well, we will say that Yugi is my granddaughter, Atem's, or Yugi's, twin sister, who just came here after going to school in America. I have a friend who I me on one of my trips to Egypt who can make Yugi all of the paperwork she will need. We just have to think of a name." Explained Solomon.
"How about Yuki?" Yugi suggested.
"Yes, that will work nicely. It is close enough to your old name that you will be able to respond to it. Now, Yugi, or should I call you Yuki, you are going to need some clothes that fit you. Atem is all set because all of your old clothes will fit him. I suggest you call Tea and ask her to help you. And I know this is going fast, but you have to go back to school in two weeks. Now, for the clothes, I will give you a credit card to buy clothes, no cards. Do you understand?" Solomon asked.
"Yes, I understand." Yugi said. "I guess I'll call Tea and tell her I need help getting some new clothes." With that, Yugi went over to the phone and dialed Tea's number.
"Hello Tea. This is Yugi, I was wondering if you could help me get some new clothes tomorrow…" Yugi was cut off by Tea saying something and then hanging up.
"What's wrong Yugi?" Atem asked.
"I think I'm in trouble." She said. The three then discussed other things that needed to be discussed. Since the game shop had a spare bedroom, Yugi would take her old room, and Atem would take the spare. Atem and Yugi went up to her room and grabbed all of her clothes that would no longer fit her and put them in Atem's room.
"Yugi, I want to apologize again. If I had known this would happen, I would never have…" he was cut off by Yugi.
"No one could have seen this coming. And anyway, we are stuck like this, so we may as well get used to it. I think I am going to work on my deck a little tonight." Yugi commented.
"That is a good idea. Although, why would you work on your deck? If you can beat me with it, isn't it good enough?" Atem asked.
"Well, yeah, but there are always ways to improve your deck." Yugi said. She then went into her room and sat on the bed. So much has changed in the last few years, and this is just the icing on the cake. We should have guessed that we would not be done with all of the weirdness that the millennium items brought us just because the pharaoh was getting his own body. But, this is how things are going to be, so I may as well make the best of it. Yugi thought.
"Now, what will I do with my deck?" she asked herself. Atem had the Dark Magician in his deck, and Yugi wasn't about to ask for it. She did, however, have a spare Dark Magician Girl. She added that to her deck when saw something on her desk. It was the Dark Magician she and the pharaoh had won from Arkana. She slipped that and a few other cards to her deck and decided to spend the rest of the day resting. She decided to watch some TV when her grandfather and Atem joined her. They watched a dueling tournament and they all went to bed early.
The next day
Yugi woke up and got dressed in the white dress she had gotten in Egypt.
"First thing I'm going to buy is some pants." She said to herself as she went down the stairs to get breakfast. She saw that Atem and her grandfather were already eating. After breakfast, the doorbell rang and Yugi answered it. Tea, Mai, Serenity, Joey, Tristan, Duke, and Bakura were standing there. Tea, Mai, and Serenity had huge smiles on their faces.
"What's going on?" Yugi asked just before the three girls dragged her out the door. Meanwhile, Joey told everyone that Serenity would be going to their school now. Duke and Tristan were happy about this, at least until Joey punched them both in the back of their heads.
Hours had gone by since the group of girls dragged Yugi out the door, and when they finally arrived back at the card shop, Joey was dueling Bakura while everyone else watched.
"Ha ha, I got you again Bakura." Joey exclaimed.
"Oh man…" was all Bakura said. Yugi walked in holding what appeared to be hundreds of bags, but was really around ten.
"Get enough clothes Yugi?" Joey asked.
"More than." Yugi said. She had gotten her school uniform at the same time as Serenity, followed by many more clothes picked out by her three tormentors. As a matter of fact, Yugi thought she would have been better off facing down Obelisk. Just then, Solomon walked in.
"Yugi, you got mail." He said. They looked at each other, puzzled, and opened the letters. They were each shocked.
"What does it say?" asked Tea.
"Me, Atem, and Joey are invited to Kaiba's tournament." She said.
"When does it start?" asked Joey.
"In one week." Yugi said.
To be continued.
Next time: The tournament begins.
