Wow! Thank you for the reviews guys. I think it's time for an update right? And longer this time :D

Also, Yami and the pharaoh is the same person. Just wanted to take the confusion out off the way.

"Normal talking"

'Japanese'

(thought) both the author and the character

Chapter 3 : Staying here

-Yugi POV-

Yugi thought he was going to be a goner when everything around the palace is abruptly quiet, too quiet it seems. When just a moment ago, it was still lively but now even smallest of breathing can be loud enough for anyone to hear.

-No one POV-

Anticipation is what everyone at the moment was feeling when the pharaoh move away from his throne to walk down to the boy. The priests thought that he was trying to punish him but the other slave that passed by wished upon a boy to not feel the wrath of the pharaoh.

When the pharaoh finally reached-the-said-boy, He slowly kneeled down next to Yugi which surprised the spectator in the room. For the pharaoh to be on the same level as the commoner is never seen before, this made the priests a bit fidgety.

"Please look up to me young one" The voice pharaoh speak was so tender and rough on the edge that would make any girl swoon.

Still feeling a bit unsure to look up, Yugi kept his head down (That sounds like Yami but maybe the pharaoh just sounds like him). Priest Seto though is having none of it though, he was about to said something when Isis stoped Seto with a look (If you say anything stupid I'll kick you in the face) that shut him up pretty quickly.

From the look of it, Yami has an idea of what Yugi was thinking about. He could convinced Yugi that it is him but with the language he is speaking right now people could listened in and no doubt would asked lots of questions afterward and he doesn't know if Yugi can understand him, so instead of speaking Egyptian. He will try to speak Japanese instead because he doesn't know if the mind link would work and if it does work. People who were watching their interaction would not like the fact that their pharaoh just spaced out in front of a stranger. So he choose the safer route.

Besides, no people in the country could even speak Japanese so Yugi would know that the pharaoh is Yami.

'Yugi it is me Yami, please look at me' said Yami

'Yami? Is it really you?' Finally, Yugi looked up to meet the pharaoh's warm blood-red eyes.

For the people who were listening in on their conversation (mainly the priests) cannot understand a single word they're saying and that bothers them for not knowing what was going on.

'Yes, who else' he said and chuckles a little before urging Yugi to stand up on his feet.

The guard who was guarding Yugi tries to stop the pharaoh but was stop before he could say anything.

"Do not worry, he is with me" hearing that, the guard stood down.

"Pharaoh, what language did you spoke a moment ago? And did you know this boy?" asked Isis curiously

"Yes, I do know him" the pharaoh said while having Yugi right beside him.

"How dare you stand next to the great pharoh!" Seto voice boomed throughout the hall. Yugi, startled, bowing his head down.

"Do not worry Seto he meant no harm, I'll explain to you all later" and that is final, no one dared to say anything to the pharaoh and respectively bow as the pharaoh walked by followed by Yugi.

After walking faraway enough from the priests and the slave there. Still walking, Yami look down to Yugi and said "You can talk to me Yugi, no one is here right now" Slowly, Yugi looked up to the pharaoh.

"Um, thanks for getting me out from there. The guard looks scary" Yugi then looked at the floor, trying to hide his embarrassment.

That made Yami laugh. Who wouldn't be, seeing Yugi's face like that. "No problem. I didn't know you could speak Egyptian Yugi"

"Huh, did I really-" he cut himself off, recognizing the language.

/I really did!/ He accidently thought through the mind link that he shared with Yami.

/And it seems like the mind link still worked just fine too. It would do us some good if we don't want anyone to know what we're talking about/ Yami sent back his thought to Yugi.

"Why are we here, this is Egypt right?" asked Yugi, now feeling more comfortable with the pharaoh or Yami… whichever comes first.

"Ancient Egypt more likely. Maybe the gods want us here but for what reasons, I don't know" Deep in his thought he didn't notice that Yugi is looking at his arm, where a golden disk clamped tightly around it

"Yami what is that?" The pharaoh looked to where Yugi was pointing at and feeling surprised because he didn't know what it was.

"I…don't know. Maybe I should ask one of the priests later" Talking sure made everything went faster, now in front of them lay a door to the pharaoh's chamber (bedroom)

/How did we even get here?/ Yami is feeling even more surprised now and that happened very rarely.

/Maybe the memory is coming back to you/ Yugi looks hopeful and Yami thought the same.

"Hopefully. But before we go any further, let's change your clothe into something more…Egypt-ish" Well that doesn't sound weird at all.

"Haha, never thought I'd ever hear you say that oh-great-pharaoh" Yugi playfully nudge Yami

"So it would seem I have to blend in with the other now. No good if I acted like how I would act 5,000 years from now" He quickly shook his thought out off his head.

"Like that one time you accidentally pour a bucket of ice on Joey for revenge after he push you in a pool?" Yugi giggles, that was a funny memory for him even if he didn't know why Joey pushed him in.

"He started it" The pharaoh pout (…yes you read that right,pout)

"Come on! Let's go inside, standing out here is not going to help us" Cheerfully Yugi opened the door and got inside.

(That's Yugi alright) Smiling, the pharaoh followed Yugi and then closed the door behind him.

Unknown to them, one of the spirit or ka has sprout outside of the palace ground and is now slowly making its way in.
