Chapter 4:
Yami gasped and he looked towards Tristan and Joey as if hoping they would cough up that this was all a big joke. He frowned when they didn't and remained silent. His head hurt with the confusion, he had a daughter?
Joey and Tristan looked over at the stranger. She looked nearly the same as Cherry but her eyes were no longer the ocean blue; they were a deep violet just like Yami's. The innocent smile she wore had now faded away to look of worry.
"You… you seriously don't recognize me?"
"I don't remember anything from my life as Pharaoh." Said Yami sadly; he hated having to remind everyone about this.
"Oh." The girl looked down at her feet, ashamed. "This must be a big shock to you. I'm really sorry. I can understand if you no longer want to duel me." And turned to walk away.
"Wait! Where are you going?" The girl spun round to face her father.
"I'm going to go home, I'm really sorry for doing this to you." And turned again.
"No! Stay here! Let me talk to you."
"You… you mean it?" Yami nodded his head. "Cool!" The girls face was instantly overtook with glee and ran towards her father. "Do you wanna come and sit down?" And pointed towards the café table Cherry was sitting at.
"I think that would be best." Smiled Yami and the four went and sat down. "So, what's your name?"
"It's Bast." She was feeling befuddled at having to tell her dad her name. "You named me after the Egyptian goddess."
"And, who is your mother?" Joey and Tristan just sat looking at the two spirits talking, however they were still completely clueless about the whole thing.
"Her name is Mana. You two had three kids. Me, a two-year-old girl called Hathor and my twin brother, Horus."
"And do you know where they are?"
"No." She said sadly. "As far as I know, their millennium items haven't even been discovered yet."
"There are more millennium items?!" Exclaimed Yami.
"Yep, but only three more. There's my millennium pyramid, Horus has a millennium crest and Hathor has a millennium bangle."
"Where did you get them from?" Yami asked.
Bast lifted her head to look at her father. "You made them for us." She said.
Yami's spiky head dropped into his hands and sighed. "So do you remember everything from your life?" He asked, looking back up at his daughter.
"No, not everything." Said Bast, shaking her head. "Just bits and pieces about our family."
The four friends continued to talk around the small black café table a little longer. They ordered drinks again and spoke some more. Meanwhile inside the millennium puzzle…
"So what do you think Pharaoh? Do you think she's telling the truth or is she just another evil spirit?" Asked Yugi.
"I'm not sure." He replied doubtfully. "Little bits of what she's saying seem familiar. I'm still finding it hard to believe that I had a wife and three kids."
"I know, that is pretty shocking. Who knew you were able to get that far with a girl." Smiled Yugi.
"What are you trying to say?" And turned to Yugi.
"Nothing, nothing." Said Yugi hurriedly. "Oh, look at the sky! It's getting dark; we should probably break it up and get back to the shop.
"You're probably right."
"Look Bast. I'm really sorry but I'm afraid I have to get going. Yugi's grandpa will be getting worried if we're too late home." Said Yami.
"Yeah we should be getting back too, right Joey?" Said Tristan.
"Yeah, it's been great talking to ya Bast. See ya again soon yeah?" Asked Joey.
"Yeah totally!" Said Bast jumping out of her seat to give the boys a hug. As Yami turned to leave she shouted out, "See ya tomorrow dad!"
The purple eyed man closed his eyes and moaned in his throat, but lifted his had to show he had heard her and continued walking back to the game shop.
Bast opened the door to Cherry's house and walked into the living room. She put down the bag she was carrying and held her millennium pyramid in her hands. A golden light filled the room she was in, the music played all around her, the people laughing and crying rang in her ears, and her eyes slowly turned from purple to blue. Cherry was back.
Her blue eyes scanned the room she was in. She was back in her house; the last thing she could remember was being about to duel with Yugi. 'What happened?' She asked herself.
All of a sudden a jab of sharp pain rushed to her skull, her hands crushed her head trying to make it stop, she screamed in pain, her painted fingernails digging into her scalp. Slowly the pain faded and Cherry's hands dropped from her head. Her legs weakened and she fell to her knees and then to her face.
Her purple eyes took their last blink. And the pink haired girl was left lying on her living room floor, barely conscious, with the blood trickling out of her head where she had tried to dig up the pain in her skull with the fingernails.
