Heeeey! What's up? Okay! Here we go!

Kings Are Blind

Yugi scurried into the room just as his college professor was about to start.

"That's another warning, Moto. Let's try coming on time, shall we?"

"Yes, sir. Sorry." He said as he sat at his station and popped open his laptop.

The professor eyed him through the brim of his glasses, then turned back to around to face the chalkboard.

"As you all know there will be a quiz today of sections 4-7. I certainly hope you all studied…" His voice was bleak and he sounded very bored.

Yugi's eyes went wide '4-7?' He thought 'I thought it was 1-3! Oh, great!'

The professor handed the test to each student face-down. Yugi hesitated to turn it over.

"What's the matter, Mr. Moto, you studied, didn't you?"

Yugi straightened up in his chair "Of course! I'm all ready for an A!"

XXXX

Grandpa Moto held the paper to his face, examining the red "D" on top of the paper.

"Yugi…" He started "A D? You spent all last week studying for that quiz! Joey even helped you. Well, attempted to help you."

"Yeah," Yugi said "I spent all that time studying the wrong damn sections!" He roared.

"Yugi!"

Yugi's face turned red upon his swearing "Sorry…"

"I tell you what," Grandpa said "This whole thing has you in over your head. Why don't you spend your well-deserved summer vacation with me, in Egypt."

Yugi's face saddened "Egypt? Oh, grandpa, I really don't wanna go there."

"Oh, Yugi. It'll be fun! I promise. You can help me with the dig!" Grandpa said, placing his hand on Yugi's shoulder.

"Fine. But that better be all we do. No talking about you-know-who."

"Okay."

XXXX

Yugi waited for their bags to come around on the turn table, very impatiently.

"Come on…come on…." He whispered to himself

A large blue bag came around, and Yugi snatched it aggressively, earning strange looks from other passer-bys.

XXXX

Yugi and Grandpa sat in their hotel room, waiting for some of Grandpa's friends to call them and let them know they were on their way.

"Soo…" Yugi said "What happens now?"

"You're bored, aren't you?" Grandpa said

Yugi slammed down the hand he had been resting his head on "No, really?"

Grandpa took some strange looking coins out of his pocket and handed them to Yugi.

"Go on outside and buy yourself a little souvenir."

Yugi eyed the coins, which were apparently Egyptian currency.

"You know," Yugi said, "I heard that in Egypt, you could get shot if you just wave to someone!"

Grandpa eyed him "Yugi, get out there and stop watching the Discovery Channel."

"Fine!" He said, walking out the door.

Yugi smiled politely at the at the receptionist and headed out the doors into what he believed was the market place.

"Cool…" He said, moving forward.

As he walked, he carefully eyed the scenery in the background. But what caught his eye the most was the huge palace straight ahead of him. He could've sworn he'd seen it before.

'Hmm' He thought to himself

"I wonder," He said out loud, continuing to make his way towards the palace.

Before he new it, he was standing almost right in front of it.

"Wow…"

A large, pointy object was then poked into his right arm, he shrieked and glanced up.

"Um…hi?" He said

It was apparently a palace guard, armed with a sword and a really scary face.

"You are not allowed around the property of King Yami's palace without his permission."

Yugi's eyes widened farther then normal "King…Yami?"

The guard's eyes narrowed "Yes. That would be correct."

"He's…he's in there…right now?" Yugi said

"Uh…yeah." The guard put his sword down at his side, giving Yugi strange looks.

"Alive?!" Yugi yelled.

"No, he's dead." The guard said sarcastically "Of course he's alive. Now respect his privacy and get out of here."

"Oh…my…GOD!" Yugi yelled, jumping up and down. "Yami's ALIVE! HE'S HERE!"

He began to run in circles, still screaming his joy at the top of his lungs.

"What happened to the whole..afterlife…thing?" Yugi wondered out loud "Oh well! All that matters is that HE'S HERE!"

"Yes," The guard said "He's here. Now could you…not be here?"

"No, no no no," Yugi said "You don't understand,"

The guard looked annoyed "Understand what?"

"I know him!" Yugi said "He's my best friend!"

"Kid, did you come from some kind of clinic?"

Yugi shook his head wildly "I do! I know him! His favorite color is black! His favorite movie is 300! He loves curly fries! His blood type is AB! He loves walks in the park…and…and eating peanut butter ripple ice cream!"

The guard looked a tad freaked, and grabbed Yugi by the arm. "Come with me," He said

'Oh, yes!' Yugi thought 'I'm gonna get to see Yami!' He repeated in his mind like a little kid.

Yugi was led inside, into the throne room. Atop the throne was a very slim and proud figure. He wore white pants and a red cape, his muscular chest exposed. Yami.

Yugi smiled wider than his muscles allowed him "YAMI!" He yelled.

Yami looked up wide eyed "Yesss…"

"It's me! Yugi!"

Yami looked at him. "Yugi? Yugi who?"

Alright there it is! R&R!
