XXIV. Circle of Souls
Yugi and Kristine arrived at Domino at last but as they went down the airport, they were suprised to see a few people were left. As the two of them went to investigate, Yugi was shocked that his own home was covred with the dark mist. Kristine felt sorry for him but it wasn't the best time.
"Yugi, what are we going to do?" Kristine asked.
"I have to go to my Grandpa's shop and see what we can do from there" Yugi answered and they head off.
Meanwhile at the game shop, Yugi's Grandpa a.k.a Suguroku Mutou was able to shut the door of his store when someone knocked.
"Who's there?" he asked
"Grandpa, it's us!" a familiar voice rang out and he opened the door. It was Jounouchi, Kaiba, and Mokuba
"Hurry! Come inside!" Suguroku said as he quickly shut the door.
"Grandpa, is Yugi there?" Jounouchi asked but the old man shook his head
"Where is he?" Kaiba asked sternly
"He's currently in Egypt right now and I haven't received a word from him when will he come back" Suguroku answered
"Well that didin't go well what now, big brother?" Mokuba asked in concern
"For now, we wait until he gets back and besides we can't go out there anyway" Kaiba noted the outside mist and so they went to the upstair living room
As Kaiba, Jounouchi and Mokuba were waiting, there was another knock at the door. Curiously, Suguroku went to answer the door and was surprised who it was.
"Ji-san tadaima(Grandpa, I'm home)" Yugi said and Kristine greeted as well
"Yugi you're back I didn't expect that and who's that person anyway?" Sugoroku asked as he looked a teenage girl who looks smart
"Oh her name's Kristine Ethudel. I'll explain the details inside" Yugi said as they went in
"Oh by the way your friends are here" Sugoroku said
"Who?" Yugi asked curiously
"Long time no see Yugi!" a familiar voice rang out
"Jounouchi-kun?" Yugi questioned and sure enough it was Jounouchi who was coming down the stairs of the Mutou's family living room. Kaiba and Mokuba heard Jounouchi's voice so they went down also to see that Yugi's back with another person.
"It's about time you showed up" Kaiba growled in frustration while his brother tried to calm him down
"Kaiba! and Mokuba!" Yugi exclaimed in surprised
"In the flesh!" Mokuba grinned
"Hmm.. You must be Seto Kaiba, CEO President of the Kaiba Corporation yes?" Kristine smirked
"Who the heck is she?" Kaiba asked
"Her name is Kristine Ethudel, she's one of Ishizu's co-workers" Yugi stated
"Ishizu! Kono onna (That woman)" Kaiba reeled in horror while Mokuba wonders why his brother act like that
"Anyway what are you guys doing here and Kaiba it's not like you to visit my house so what gives?" Yugi asked
"One: My employees are hypnotize and nearly killed Mokuba and Two: Some of the people of this city are possessed" Kaiba explained
"Well I go with number two the part of the possessing people stuff, it's always something to do with you but... this is way too eerie" Jounouchi said in a creep out voice
"Stop your acting you underdog!" Kaiba growled
"Underdog! You're still callling me that after all these years rich boy!" Jounouchi said angrily
"Hmph" Kaiba said while Yugi and Kristine sweatdropped
"Does this happen all the time?" Kristine whispered
"I'm afraid so, they always quarrel" Yugi answered
"Well come on in I don't want that weird mist to get in this shop" Sugoroku said as he led Yugi and Kristine in
"Yugi do you have any idea what's that mist all about?" Jounouchi asked
"Ummmm... a little I think but you may not believe me" Yugi said nervously
"Try me...!" Kaiba dared
So Yugi told everyone his trip to Egypt then his adventures to the Afterlife Past. It was almost too painful when he mentioned that he was the 'reincarnated pharaoh'. He also told about their first meeting with Kristine and now he showed them the crown of the pharaoh with the eye of Horus in it which Pharaoh Atemu gave it to him although it was painful to mention him.
"So you're telling us that whoever it is wants to kill you? Kudaranai(Ridiculous)" Kaiba said angrily
"Well, I'm not surprised that they want Yugi but to kill him...that's too much" Jounouchi stated
"There's no stopping in what's happenning now" kristine stated when suddenly an earthquake shook the house
"W-w-w-w-hat's happe---ning" Jounouchi said struggling
"We better get out of here" Yugi shouted and all of them went ouside to see the six mages that Atemu's father mentioned.
"You?" Yugi growled
"You know him?" Kaiba asked
"He's High Mage Heishin and his cohorts. They're the ones who cause all these mess" Yugi stated staring angrily at them. Kaiba steps forward and addresses them.
"I don't know what you slimbuckets want but release my employees from whatever hypnotism you put on them" Kaiba growled
"Well you're certainly rude to be that 'priest' lookalike" Martis hissed, wearing her mask so that no one will know her appearance
"'Reincarnated Pharoah' we the six mages challenged you to a duel of darkness" Heishin declared and the dark mist began to enveloped the city. Unfortunately, Egypt was included as well.
"Heishin, kisama(you in impolite form)!" Yugi said angrily and the crown of Horus began to glow then Yugi's form changed into the Egyptian form which made Mokuba and Jounouchi got shocked from its appearance. Even Kaiba as well.
"The 'reincarnated pharaoh'" Kristine said in awe for it's her first time to see it
"Good everything is according to my master's plan" Heishin said nastily
"For the sake of my family, friends and the people of my home, I will stop you at any cause" Yugi said angrily pointing at Heishin's group
"Well if you insist then. we'll meet you in week's time for now you should gather you pathetic soldiers to take us on. Mwahahahahaha" Heishin laughed and vanished.
"Yugi..." Jounouchi and Mokuba said thoughtlessly
"Heishin, I won't let you destroy my home I swear!" Yugi said sternly as the wind was blowing through his cape.
