Who I Am

When the black-haired girl arrived at the Tokyo airport, she felt strangely strange. She had never been to Tokyo before, her home Osaka was always enough for her. She wore a knee-length black pleated skirt and a black spaghetti top, it was summer time in Japan. "Pretty big here, what Anubis?", She whispered and glanced into the cat box she was carrying under her arm. After picking up her suitcase at the baggage claim, she left the gate and looked around. How exactly she was supposed to get to the house of her birth parents was not clear to her, so she stood there, somewhat perplexed, and looked for a bus line or something similar.
A black limousine stopped not far from her, the doors of which opened. A young man with brown hair and piercing ice blue eyes got out of the car with a suitcase in one hand. He was wearing a white, noble-looking suit and looked very stressful. Yumi couldn't believe her eyes.As a gifted Duel Monsters player, she of course knew immediately who was standing a few meters from her: Seto Kaiba, owner of one of the largest game companies at all. The girl swallowed hard, she wasn't sure whether she should speak to her great idol or just stop. Of course, she knew that Seto Kaiba had lost to reigning champion Yugi Muto at the big Battle City tournament, but that never shook her belief in his abilities and his world-famous kite deck.
The black-haired woman was torn from her thoughts by a loud honking. "Yumi Matsumoto?" She asked a strange looking Arab man who was wearing beige pants and a purple shirt. She nodded a little confused and eyed her counterpart suspiciously. He must have been about her age, maybe a year or two older, and had strange paintwork on his eyes. He also wore gold jewelry on his neck and ears.His sandy hair stood out clearly from that of most black or brown haired Japanese, and his skin was tanned. "Marik Isthar, I'm happy.", He said politely. "I'm supposed to take you to the house of your deceased parents. You were good friends of my family," he continued and grabbed her suitcase. "Wait a minute!", Yumi interjected, however, who was walking a bit too fast. "First of all .. no sighing please .. otherwise I feel terribly old .. Second, who will tell me that I can trust you?" However, Marik grinned. He pulled a photo out of his trouser pocket which showed a little boy of about eight and eleven years of age and a woman who, apart from the skin color, looked very similar to Yumi. “You look like your mother.” Now the other man's breath caught. That was the first time she saw a photo of her birth mother. She felt a strange feeling. It tingled and looked familiar, although she had never seen the woman who smiled at her before.Now she said nothing more, hugged her cat's cage tightly and got on a motorcycle to which her bag was also attached. "Hold on tight!" Was all that came from the young man before they drove off.

"When are they finally here?" A young, brown-haired woman moaned. Her long hair was blowing gently in the wind and her blue eyes flashed like diamonds. "Take it easy, you will definitely be there soon.", She tried to calm a black-haired, Egyptian woman. A heavy sigh spread. "Oh Ishizu ..", the brown-haired girl began. "I don't even know who she is ... how am I supposed to be a sister to her then?" The Egyptian looked very warm and gently put a hand on her shoulder. "Your heart will show you the way, you will see. You may be strangers to each other, but in your spirit you were always one." The addressee had long since given up understanding the wisdom of her friend and meanwhile simply accepted something in silence gave this of itself.Then at last they heard a motorcycle roar from a distance. The sporty bike braked with screeching tires in front of the large property. "It's okay, you can open your eyes.", Laughed the driver and pulled the helmet off his head. The black-haired girl, who had clung to the young man in panic, looked around carefully and nudged her cat's cage, which she had clamped between him and herself. "Everything ok, Anubis?", She mumbled and opened the little door of the container. Staggering a little, but with its usual grace, the Siamese jumped out of its prison and hissed softly. Shivering, the girl got off the motorcycle and looked into the blue eyes of the person who suddenly seemed strangely familiar. The brown-haired woman looked skeptically at her smaller counterpart and stepped up to her. "So you're Yumi, huh?" She stated. The addressed only nodded and swallowed, it was a bit monstrous who she was standing across from.She grew up as an only child, never knew anything about a sister, let alone how to deal with it. Suddenly the young woman began to grin and fell around the black-haired man's neck. "Nice that I finally get to know you! My name is Yori! I hope you will settle in quickly .. if you need something or something, just ask me or Ishizu, you already know Marik." The little one looked a little puzzled at her new sister and just nodded.
"It would be best if we go in first .. Just put your things in the anteroom, they will take care of it. I have to talk to you first.", Ishizu finished Yori's little speech. Said and done. The four entered the large property and took a seat in the dining room.

Ishizu sat down next to her little brother and folded her hands in thought. She took a deep breath before addressing the girls across from her. "You must now listen carefully to what I am telling you now, I will only tell you once.It is too dangerous that someone eavesdrop on us whose presence here is not desired. ", she said worryingly and looked around. Yumi didn't understand what the black-haired woman was talking about, so the big, magnificent house seemed very safe to her. Then the Egyptian continued." It may seem very strange to you, especially Yumi, but it does the items your parents sent you come from ancient times. They are also called millennium items. There are a total of seven acquaintances and both of you. They all connect to ancient Egypt and your old ego. "The last words burned like fire into the memories of the two girls. Old ego? Who were they?" Yori, you know that nowadays some people have been reborn who already lived a life in ancient Egypt. "" Yugi Muto? ", she asked a little unsettled. Yumi looked a little shocked at her sister. What did that have to do with the King of the Games? Ishizu nodded, however."Exactly. He himself is in possession of the Millennium Puzzle, the most powerful artifact. The spirit of the five thousand year old Pharaoh lives in him. However, not everyone is on our side, there are also those who want to use the Millennium objects for their evil purposes to destroy the world with their help. Our task now is to get in touch with the Pharaoh, I have already notified him of our coming. We have to find the gateway to the past to find out what the real name of the Pharaoh reads. Only with his help can we manage to free his spirit from the puzzle and to destroy the evil forces that threaten the world. We do not yet know exactly who our opponent is. Only that he is also an age- Has ego in itself, as a host, so to speak, and is in possession of a millennium item. "The girls swallowed hard. "Finally, I have to tell you that your parents did not die naturally."Ishizu muttered bitterly." They dug too deep for what was. Ignorant, they took on powers they were not up to. "" And we should be equal to these powers, yes ?! ", Yori snapped at her friend now. The pain of the death of her parents was still deep in her chest, so, unlike her little sister, she had grown up with them." Yes, indeed. You are special, but you will find out soon enough. Marik and I still have to take some precautions, first of all we have to get in touch with the Pharaoh again. I'll see you tomorrow at sunrise, then I'll take you to your new school and introduce you to the others. "
This all happened a bit too fast for the two of them, but Ishizu did what she said and hurried out of the house with Marik. Who were the two of them? Were they really special, as Ishizu said? And what was this dark power that threatened to destroy the world in which they lived?
