Chapter11: Egypt Part 2
"Yugi I believe this is the part you must play. We are at the mouth of a great tomb. To enter we must have permission from the gods. Once my spirit left these ancient worlds much of my knowledge remained hidden, but you are the keeper of my soul. Tell us my lover which is the path we must take. Is this not familiar to you, as the puzzle of my mind?" Yami smiled and gave Yugi a nod for encouragement.
"Yu, be careful I remember the last time we visited Yami in the puzzle I fell off a cliff and got trapped in a dark room." Joey squeezed Brownie-chan hand.
"I don't want to hurt anyone," she pleas, but the nurse didn't know the gang. Once they started down a road it was friendship to the end.
"Look I got a business to run, so pick a door and let's get the hell out of here. Like I said this isn't a vacation."
"Kaiba will you shut up!" Joey asked ever so sweetly.
"Yami, I think it's that one, it's just like you said. I feel like I've been in here before." Yugi excited voice fills the walls of the carven.
"I don't believe this we are going to our death on a feeling." Kaiba grumbled.
"Death," Ryou shuttered.
"Don't worry, I'd never let anything take you from me," Bakura squeezed Ryou's tiny waist and gave him a little peck on his slender neck.
"That's enough . . ." Kaiba reached over and pulled Joey into his arms, if everyone else was giving out kisses he didn't want to be left out and if anyone said anything about his weakness for Joey he'd cut out their tongues. So he kissed Joey gently and very thoroughly. No one said a word.
"Yami, I'm sensing something strong it's coming from that door we have to go." Yugi's puzzle started to glow and the scale moved in Shadi's hands.
"He's right, my pharaoh," Shadi held up the scales.
With the golden key forged from the blood of men Shadi touched the arch about the tunnel and a light appeared. The gang moved forward and turned down many more with Yugi leading the way. Ryou slipped at one point but true to his word Bakura helps him up.
"Thanks," Ryou whispered his touch was warm, Ryou missed his other half a lot more than he realized.
Finally the gang stopped surround by stone and walls laden with multitudes of ancient tablets. Actually the gang felt at home in the cold old room.
"Yugi," Ryou asked as his eyes wondered around the room. "Look over there," he pointed to a wall and it had the same symbols as Yugi's puzzle.
Bakura walked over to the wall and smiled. "Well I guess it's my turn. He adjusted the bands on his muscled arms and played with the symbols, after all he was a thief in the old days. The tablet slid open and revealed another flat tablet inside.
Shadi placed his scales and key inside and Yugi followed with his puzzle. Two more items were necessary to reveal the hidden words.
"Kaiba it's time," Shadi beckon for him to come forward and BrowneyedShamer along with Joey came also.
Kaiba opened the shoulder case on his back and produced his rod which he placed on the tablet. The soldiers' brought forth the small box and Kaiba opened it with a key he had around his neck. Inside the box the eye glowed and appeared to come to life. BrowneyedShamer would have screamed but her lips refused to open.
Kaiba lifted the eye out of the case and place it in its place. Now all of the items were in place. "BrowneyedShamer, daughter of Charles look into the eye and all will be revealed to you," Shadi commanded.

In a distant land a fire blazed and people were stealing and robbing the shops besieged by flames. Soldiers attempted to capture the rioters but their numbers grew in size with each passing minute. One man, a foreigner darted down a dark alley and buried his body behind a waste tower. In his hand he had two bundles which on first inspection appeared to be rags. Sobbing the man opened the bundles and two small babies smiled affectionately up at the man. Their eyes sparkled in the light of the flames and one reached out to touch his beard. You see the man had come to the city at the worst of times. Children were being taken to the king's palace and sole as slaves, twin girls would bring a high price. It didn't matter if he was a foreigner. The people rebelled and the city was set on fire. The man found his contact and with much pain gave one of his daughters to his partner. They were to leave the city secretly the man kiss the girls and watch as his world began to crumble. Two days later he found the man murdered at a home outside the city but the baby girl was not found. Only a note which read, thank you she will make a fine slave and command a high price.
BrowneyedShamer leaned closer over the tablet as the images faded in and out showing a young girl playing with other children, going to school, and basically growing up. She looked happy but sad at the same time. These were clouded images the father saw when Pegasus his new partner allowed him to looked into the eye. Only the gods knew why this was revealed to the evil man. He used the images to control the man who endlessly searched ruins as an excuse to stay in Egypt to find his daughter.
The next image showed a struggle between the two and Charles lost the battle. He died without ever seeing his daughter again. The last image showed a girl dressed in robes and she was the same age as BrowneyedShamer; she appeared to be smiling at the other girl. BrowneyedShamer passed out.

"BBROWNIE-CHAN . . . WAKE UP!" Joey and Kaiba took up position on either side of her; Joey held his breathe as her eye-lids began to flutter.
"Joey . . . I have a sister and she's calling out to me," Brownie-chan spoke between the tears that fell from her eyes. I don't fully understand but I saw my father and he's spent all these years looking for her. Pegasus knew all along and kept my father's heart in chains. I'm glad he's dead."
"Brownie-chan, but if he's dead then we will never be able to find your sister," Ryou spoke the words coolly.
"I don't care he's a monster," she cried. "All these years I knew a piece of me existed somewhere else, but I couldn't find it. What have I done?"
"You have done nothing, Pegasus lives. . . . Somewhat. But I don't think he'll be able to help us."Kaiba spoke.
"You said she called out to you I think we can use the connection and find your sister," Joey spoke and all eyes turned to the boy. "Well Yugi and Yami have this thing, and Ryou and Bakura have it too. We all have it and its called friendship."
"I don't believe it," Kaiba barked for the fifth time.
"Kaiba has it to, he's just too stupid to use it," Joey rolled his eyes at his boyfriend. "But he'd better start if he wants to get me. Just focus all your energy on your sister and we will lend you our strength."
"Her name is Millie. Millie I'm coming . . . . ." BrowneyedShamer turned t o Joey; he had become her strength and gave her the courage to go on. All the faith she had rested in his hands.
A/N: Every story has its reasons for existence and I must say this is a very unique one I will add to my profile. It started as a good-well wish for someone in need of a smile. But it's now a story I am so proud to have written in one long session from being to end. A personal commitment to finish it and let the laughter roll on. So for those that have reviewed and recreated numerous hits I'm so happy. For those that have ever been in the hospital and forced to eat giggly, wiggly Jell-O I hope this makes you laugh.
