So, you might have noticed I've changed my pen name? At least it should've been changed as far as I'm concerned. But it's still the same old crazy girl who is about to deliver a new chapter to you!
Disclaimer: YGO is, (sadly for me), not mine
Warnings: Pretty much fluff, as usually, so I guessed you've got used to it by now. If not, you haven't read the other chapters, and that's a shame, isn't it?
Sani now gives you permission to read and review!
Chapter 5
Normal POV
Later that day when Atemu and Yugi sat in the couch in front of the TV and both felt very lazy, so they just zapped through the channels without real interest. Mana on the other hand didn't see the entertainment in that, so she ran around in and out of the rooms, inspecting every inch and sometime they could hear an "oops" when she dropped something or a "weird" when she observed something more closely.
"Maybe we should take her to the park", Yugi grinned when he saw how the teen girl ran by.
"You make it sound like we're going to walk a dog." The taller of the men shook his head and smiled. "But I guess you're right, she's being so restless that I almost get nervous."
"Ha, you nervous?" Yugi laughed. "Oh, I would love to see that; the almighty Pharaoh running around and stutter: "Um… I-I will duel you, and I w-will win, because I've got a d-deeper voice than y-you!"
The hikari had to duck when a pillow came flying and laughing he disappeared out from the living room.
"You little… come here!" Atemu jumped up from the couch and ran after in such speed that when he came to the door post he had to take a grip of the frame so he didn't fall when he turned.
"Oh, wait for me!" With Mana in the chase Yugi didn't see the point in letting Atemu catch him, so he rushed outside and headed for the park, with the two old friends not far behind.
"Mana, follow me!" Atemu waved to her and they saw Yugi enter the park. Well there they stopped and looked around, searching for their prey. "Mana, look in those trees over there and I'll take the bushes."
"This is fun", she giggled and somehow got up in a high tree.
And fun was the right word… no, the perfect word, Yugi thought when he hid in a boscage. He saw how the Pharaoh and the apprentice magician walked around and searched the area, and that made him giggle lightly. But suddenly a pair of violet eyes stared down on him.
"Gotcha!" Atemu threw himself towards him.
"Help!" Yugi's voice became dangerously feminine and his eyes widen, (seriously), and he tried to duck but he had no chance and instead they both fell into a heap. And to join them, Mana jumped into it too before they all stretched out in the grass and stared up in the blue sky and inhaled the fresh air.
"It's just like it used to be, you and me and the sun after that we had skip master Mahado's lessons", Mana sighed happily and closed her eyes. Yugi smiled towards Atemu who noticed it and returned it before turning his gaze again to the young woman who mumbled: "And who needed to practise magic those times, when we shared our own special magic for a moment."
"Yes." The man who lied next to her was surprised how clear those memories was, especially since he didn't remember that much from his time in Egypt. But now he could see; when he was in his young teens and ran after Mana. They both laughed excitedly, because Mahado was once again on the strike again and angrily searched through the whole palace for them.
"I think we've outran him." Atemu stopped when they came to the pond in the garden and breathed heavily but still smiled when Mana giggled.
"Oh, he will be so mad at us when he finds us… again." She lifted her arms as is she was going to fly, but instead fell backwards into the shadow of a tree there it grew some grass. Atemu hurried to join her and they just lied there and grinned up towards the warm sun.
"Pharaoh." Atemu opened his eyes when he heard Mana speak and looked at her, but she stared up in the sky as she spoke. "Couldn't I… get clothes so I don't look so weird here?"
"Um, of course, but I don't think you look… weird." He said surprised and lifted his chest by supporting on the arms.
"By the way…" Yugi sat up and looked a bit unsure when he turned towards Mana. "How long will you stay… wait, I mean, is there a way for you to get home if you want to?"
Mana sat up too and stared at him, blinked a few times and bit her lip.
"I… I honestly don't know. I just cast that spell over me and when I woke up I was here. Maybe I can do the same thing again, but I don't know."
"Well, don't let that bother us now", Atemu interrupted and smiled. "Let's find a shop instead and get you clothes, but as far as I'm concerned, neither I nor Yugi is pretty familiar with female fashion."
"Oh, is that true, fashion-freak?" Yugi giggled and the chase was on once again.
-
"This feels so weird." Mana looked into the mirror and observed herself very closely, twisting and posing in every possible way.
"Weird? Oh, my dear little girl, you look lovely!" chuckled the female expedite. With her help Mana now had a pair of tight, dark jeans, a black sleeveless shirt and a pair of black sneakers that the teen actually felt pretty comfortable on her feet, and the last detail was a black headband.
"Well, darling, shall we go and look what the boys say?" The woman smiled and shoved her out when Mana hesitated. But out from the room she got and almost bumped into Atemu who caught her quickly.
"Easy-" He quieted and looked at her. Yugi chuckled at the sight of seeing his yami unable to speak, so instead he took the opportunity.
"Wow Mana, it's a whole new you!" He said and went around her. "We should buy them to you, or what do you say Atemu?"
"Y-yes, the clothes… they fit you very well!" He… stuttered? Well, Yugi did almost not believe his ears when he heard him.
"Thank you, Pharaoh! But it still feels very odd… but if you say I can have these, then I will!" She smiled thankfully and with full interest she studied how the till worked.
When they came outdoors Mana continued study the clothes.
"I've never had such clothing around my legs before… it's warm in here." Both Atemu and Yugi laughed at her. "And that thing on my head…"
"No, don't tell me, it's weird?" Yugi chuckled as they all heard a familiar voice.
"Hey, Yuge and Pharaoh!" Katsuya Jounouchi came running down the streets while greeting them.
"Hi Jou!" Yugi smiled while Mana looked up from behind Atemu's shoulder.
"What's up guys?" Jou stopped and saw Mana. "Who are you?" But then he grinned in a way that only he could do, that means he looked pretty dumb. "Ah, you've get yerself a girlfriend Atemu!"
"Um, she's… wait, what…? NO!" The former Pharaoh was nowhere to be seen, but somehow a red traffic light had appeared next to them.
"Jou, don't you recognise her?" Yugi said after he'd come up from the ground, (he sure knows how to laugh).
"Hm... nope, should I?" The blonde stared at Mana who still giggled because of Atemu, before she turned towards Jounouchi.
"You're one of the Pharaoh's friends, I have met you!" That made the teen scratch his head.
"Jou, this is Mana, Mana this is Katsuya Jounouchi", Yugi presented them because his other self was still unable to speak.
"Ah, it's you!" It came up as a light for him. "The girl with the Dark Magician Girl! We met ye at the Nile, before ye splashed those creepy lunatics!"
"Yes, but wasn't there two more of you?"
"Yup, Honda and Anzu too… hey, Atemu, it's alright now!" Jou looked at the man who stood few metres away and muttered, but the colour was at least on its way down. But suddenly the blonde, sometimes dog-like, teen got big eyes and stared on Mana. "What the heck are you doing here, this isn't Egypt!"
"How did you notice?"
"That's not funny, Yuge!" He replied, but apparently the short guy still thought it was.
"Let's just say that if I hadn't been a magician, I wouldn't be here", Mana said instead.
"Why don't we rent a movie and look at it in our place?" Finally Atemu could speak. "Mana has never seen a movie, and that would be a great reason to summon the rest of the gang."
"Great!" Yugi cheered and as they began to walk home, Atemu found himself lost in thoughts.
"Why do all keep on saying that Mana is my… girlfriend?" He looked at the young woman who was in a lively conversation with Jou. "We've only grown up together… she's like my sister, as Yugi is like my brother, but somehow it feels like more, why is that?"
And there yet another chapter has reached its end. I can tell you that it's thanks of your wonderful reviews that I try to put the chapters up as soon as possible!
