Chapter Theme: Somebody Hates Me - Reel Big Fish

Quote of The Day: "YOU VILE, VILE WOMAN!" -Spiritboy, YGOTAS IRC user to Angela.

About three years ago, some crazy chick showed up in my hometown, Domino. Isis something or other.

She was part of an Egyptian exhibit on ancient cultures and magic, I think. The details are fuzzy and most of what she said was too idiotic for me to bother paying attention to anyway. She told me though, that it was my destiny to save the world and set things right.

Save from what exactly I didn't ask, because I was an idiot. But she mentioned time-lines and universes so I stopped listening again.

I've been fumbling around in the fucking dark ever since.

Everything I've done right has been lucky guesses and accidental. Everything done wrong is pretty much me screwing up in one way or another.

Like how I got here, actually. I still don't know how I got here, wherever here is. Never caught your name, by the way.

...Atemu. I like it, it sounds kinda cool.

Anyway, back to what I was saying.

The exhibit only stayed for a week and then Isis was gone, and I missed my chance to ask what I was supposed to do.

Turns out there are multiple universes after all. And one of them had ripped open, right into mine. Shadow creature or whatever, they were leaking into my universe and the only people who could see them were me and Bakura.

Lucky me. The fucking psycho was the only other person who could see them and help me save the world.

I would rather have kissed Joey again.

At least Bakura kept his hands to himself. I don't think I could have concentrated on what needed to be done otherwise.

...Actually, in all honesty, Bakura's fucking cute. Seriously.

But he's psychotic so I don't like him. Not at all.

What's that look for? ...Right...Well, yeah. Moving on.

Atemu watched the strange girl, Yuugi?, as she paced the room, talking. She was explaining how she and Bakura had searched the entire Earth for three years, assembling a small team of people who could see the Shadows. she then launched into an explanation of how they had only recently begun actually fighting the Shadows, and during the last fight, something had exploded.

What exactly she had no idea. But whatever it was, it had landed her in his lap.

And his Yuugi had vanished.

Needless to say, he was not liking it. He frowned at the strange object she'd given him.
