Chapter 4:Study Hall
I walked into the study hall room. Sitting together was Yugi, Tea, Joey, and Tristan. I took a deep breath, prepared myself both mentally and physically, and walked over to join the group.
"Hey guys," I said, taking a seat beside Yugi.
"Hi Ko," Yugi replied cheerfully.
"I have a question," I told the group. I was confused, but I was also trying to make sure that Yugi didn't ask me about my past.
"What's your question? We're happy to help," Tristan replied.
"What is money?" I asked. Everyone gave me a strange look, especially Joey, Tristan, and Tea.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you guys. Ko can't remember her past like, well like, well you know.." Yugi started.
"Yami," I cut-in .So much for staying away from this conversation. "Yami."
"How did you know about him?" Tea asked me, suspicious.
" I accidently eavesdropped last class," I told them, showing them my bracelet.
"Whoa. What's that?" Tristan asked.
"It's a bracelet. Each charm is a Millenium Item, just like the Puzzle and Ring. I started mindlessly playing with it last class after I remembered then discovered about Bakura's Millenium Ring. From what I gathered, when the actual Item is in use, the corresponding charm starts to glow," I responded.
"That's crazy," Joey replied to me.
"Then prove me wrong," I challenged.
"I will. Wait, what?" Joey questioned.
"Yugi, I need your help," I said, turning to the boy who played host to the greatest Pharaoh of all time, Yami, the nameless Pharaoh.
"What do I need to do?" Yugi asked. I could hear that in his voice that he believed me, but he wanted his friends to believe me also.
"Just make contact with the Pharaoh. That's all. I'll do the rest," I told him.
Yugi nodded. "I'll see what I can do."
After a few minutes the triangular gold charm representing the Puzzle had started to glow. I smiled as I touched the charm.
"Hello," I said aloud.
"Won't you have to think the words?" Yugi asked.
"That is not necessary," a faint but strong voice spoke out. I glanced over by Yugi and saw an older, more royal version of Yugi standing in spirit form beside him. I knew right away that I was the only one that was able to see him.
"Who was that?" Tristan asked, looking around.
I started laughing. "It was the Nameless Pharaoh, Yami. Told you I could prove it."
"Ko, that is your name, correct?" Yami asked me.
I nodded just as the bell rang. I guess I had homework. "Yugi, I'll meet you at the river, 3 tomorrow."
Hurriedly, both Yami and I disconnected from one another. I ran to my next class.
Tomorrow, not today, was the day of truth.
