CHAPTER 9:
Seto arrived to his home finding only Mokuba.
-Yami is here Mokuba? –asked Seto without say hello.
-No, I thought you were with him at the review, why?
-No, I'm not with him. Where could he have gone? Is not at the review either. And Gozaburo?
-He's not here either. I think he is at his business.
-And we are going to our business too.
-What are you talking about? –asked Mokuba strangely
-Of course! I didn't try call to his cell –exclaimed Seto and immediately dialed his phone number.
At the restaurant:
-Why you took that decision? – asked Anzu
-Becaus—he was interrupted by his cell phone.
He took his phone and looked who was calling. "Seto" he continued looking the phone ringing.
-Who is it? –asked Duke
-It's Seto –he said while answering.
-Hello
-Yami, where are you? –asked Seto with a cold voice
-I'm with Joey taking a drink, why? –he asked innocently.
-Nothing, and how are you? Are you alright? –said Seto
-I'm ok, why are you so concerned about me? –he said staring to Duke who was handing some paper to Anzu and Joey.
-Can't your cousin ask how you are? Since when are you so cautious? Something happened? –asked Seto detecting something had happened
-No, is nothing. Hey, I will arrive to home soon, ok. Bye. –he hung up the phone
Seto hung up. Now he was sure that Atem was awakening and he had to be prepared.
-What did he said Yami? –asked Joey while seeing the paper with the pictures of the seven items and a large stone with the holes to put each item.
-He suspects something had happened, because of the way he talked to me. I detected it.
-Yami, you didn't answer my question. –remembered Anzu so he could continue where he was interrupted.
-According to the vision, I do it because I didn't want to hurt any more people.
-But there is something I don't get it. –asked Joey
-As always… and what is that? –said Duke to him
-Don't look at me in that way ok Duke. Well, you were saying that one priest revealed against pharaoh, but according to what Yami had told us, there is no priest, he killed himself, not the priest killed him, and then… who win the battle?
-At least one important question came out of your mouth –said Duke mocking him
-Hey…
-I don't have an answer to that. The only thing I know is that the items had a prophecy. And it is right here, in this paper –he said to them.
Anzu took it and read it.
-In six thousands years the great pharaoh, the one that could stop the evil in memorial times and that sacrifices himself for the people, will arise to defeat the dark priest again. He should fight with the help of his loyal priests that always accompany him through the time. The pharaoh like the priests had a mark that distinguishes them of all people... It didn't say anything more?
-No, the original was cut and the rest of the information was lost forever. –said Duke
-Well, if the only way to stop the events to occur again is that I give away my life like in my vision… then so be it. –said Yami with determination.
-Don't think that final thought, there is always another way, trust me. –said Anzu reassuring him.
Yami stared at her with surprise and fear at the same time
-What did you have just said? –asked Yami staring in her eyes all the time
Duke and Joey just stared at them rarely and were waiting what had Anzu to said
-I… just said that there is always other way to do the things, that's all, why did you ask me in that way? –asked Anzu confused
Yami just lowered his stare.
-Forget about it, it's not important – he said without looking at her- "I only hope that Anzu will not be the woman in my vision"
-Guys… How is the mark? What form it has? –asked Joey with some concern.
-According to this, it has the form of…-said Duke reading the paper and finding the image- this. A kind of star.
-A… star? –said Joey looking at the image with attention
-Do you have that mark Yami? –asked Anzu to him.
Yami only lifted his shirt, discovering his well formed chest and there, in all his heart was the strange star of seven points.
-Amazing! I mean the star in your chest.
-I know. That mark is there since I have memory. –he said looking to them.
Joey suddenly went pale and raised his shirt too. The other only looked at the evidence. There in his chest, in all his heart was the same star that Yami had.
-Joey. You are one of the priests! – exclaimed Anzu
-I… don't know how to react to this… -said Joey in a shock state
-Duke, show us, to get out of doubts – requested Yami
-Ok. –he said and lifted his shirt too.
-I have it or not? –he asked without looking to his chest
-Welcome to the group, pal – said Joey in a funny tone.
-What? –He then looked himself and effectively, there it was- I didn't even know that was there.
-Man, you didn't look when you are taking the shower? Then, how you do that?
-Don't mock me alright; I simple didn't notice it, that's all.
-Well, Anzu is your turn –said Joey with an idiot expression
-Didn't even think about it your perverted! –said Anzu while crossing her arms around her chest.
-Well, if you are here is for a reason, don't you think? –asked Duke staring at her. – I don't believe in chances.
-Well, yes but I don't want to lift my shirt in front of all you. I'm a woman ok. I need privacy.
-Ok, privacy. You can have your privacy in the bathroom. Go. – said Duke
-I will be right back. –she stood up and went to look her chest to see if there was a mark.
When she came back she told them.
- I don't have it.
