The man continued to step towards us and stopped right in front of Yami and me. "My name is Shadi and I am the Keeper of the Seven Millennium Items" "You are what?" it came out of me with difficulty. "The Guardian of the Millennium Objects" he said calmly again and looked at us, Yami and me insistently. Then he turned to the three Egyptians. "It's been a long time, Marik," said Shadi. "Yes, it is," he bowed to Shadi. "How have you fared? I hope well. And I don't know this young man yet." Said the latter and spoke to Marcello. "Hello Shadi." Ishisu now spoke up. "Hello," he bowed to her. "Well, this is Marcello. My son." Marik answered Shadi's question. “Ah, a successor in the family of the tomb guards interesting.” He kept silent after this statement. “Can someone finally tell me what's going on here?” I asked the group of Egyptians who apparently knew each other. Marcello looked at me and I saw that he was just as clueless as I was. I looked into a pair of blue, very intensely shining eyes. Shadi's look seemed to want to bring me to my knees and I stared back. I noticed how he was beginning to pause as an adventurous sparkle flickered in my eyes. At first I wanted to reply something but Yami put a hand on my shoulder and I remembered to keep quiet and wait for the keeper to answer. "Interesting, very interesting. Could it be?" he spoke softly and apparently more to himself. He looked from me to Yami, from Yami to Marcello and from Marcello to me again. Then he said. "So it is true. The next generation has come together to fulfill destiny" "Who do you mean by that." Somehow I only understood the station. We all did. All of us except Marik and Ishisu, only they seemed to know who Shadi was and what he wanted from us. "What's your name?" "Danielle" "And next?" "Mori. My name is Danielle Mori, why are you asking me that?" he did not answer and now turned to Yami. “Your name is?” “Yami Muto” at that moment, Shadi turned white. Marik and Ishisu were also frozen in pillars of salt. "That ... that k-can't be. That's not possible," Ishisu stammered. "Is something wrong?" said Jean, it all seemed very strange to her. "On the contrary, everything is fine" Marik smiled. “You must have something to do with Joey Wheeler, I'm right.” She cocked her chin. “He's my father.” “And I'm the son of Tristan Taylor and the cousin of Jean.” “Serenity is your mother, I met her then. A nice woman,” said Marik. Then Shadi spoke again. "History repeats itself. Evil threatens the world and the shadows threaten to devour the light. What once the Pharaoh and his friends had started is now being carried out by their descendants."“Shadi spoke in riddles in the eyes of all of us.” Apparently they don't know much about the past. "" No, we don't! "I said firmly." Then I'll have to show you. "Shadi closed his eyes and the strange chain in the form of an old key began to glow." Watch and learn. It concerns the fate of all of you ... ... "The museum around us disappeared in a glaring light and seconds later it appeared before our eyes the siluette of Egypt from before 5000." Ah Yami us, we are floating. "I realized, startled. I looked around and immediately saw that we were in Cairo. In the distance you could see the pyramids and a huge palace stretched out in front of us. The people romped on the streets and there was brisk trade on the Nearby market. In front of the entrance of the palace there were a lot of guards. Who lived in this monstrous house? Besides Yami and me there were also Jean, Alex and Marcello. And of course Shadi. Then a murmur went through the crowd below ours Feet and we looked in the direction their heads turned. Her eyes went to a large balcony that was directly facing the square in front of us. Then a man stepped out of the shadows into the light. He had a brown skin, spiky purple -Black hair and blonde strands of lightning. But the most noticeable thing about him were his eyes. Violet eyes that sparkled adventurously. But somehow we all seemed very late to buckle something or whoever stood there on the balcony and looked at us. Now I felt like scales from my eyes and a pang went through me. My eyes widened in horror and I grabbed Yami's ice-cold hand and squeezed it very hard. He couldn't move a bit either. The crowd raged below us. "PHARAOH, PHARAOH" we heard their calls. The man on the balcony looked just like us. "Is ... That's not about" I gasped and Shadi answered my and all of us question. "That's Pharaoh," he said coolly. "What's his name?" I asked Shadi, but he didn't pay any attention to me. Tears stung my eyes. “Tell me what his name is, Shadi please!” “Not yet. First I would like to tell you something.” It was light again. But instead of ending up in a new, unknown environment, we all found ourselves in the museum. Everyone was silent. They knew what that meant for Yami and me. I was too shocked to realize what was happening at that moment. Alex supported the perplexed Jean who stared at me and Yami. I tried to process what I just saw. In my chest an icy tight spread that threatened to close like a fist around my heart. I breathed in and out hard, tears and a bloody uncertainty. What did Pharaoh have to do with me and Yami? Why was Shadi there and what was the story of the Millennium Objects about? What was the fate of the world about which supposedly depended on us.I slid to the floor. I was so dizzy, everything was spinning. To stop, I wrapped my arms around my upper body and tried to breathe calmly. When the turning stopped a little I opened my eyes and just saw Shadi leave the hall. "Wa..wait. You wanted to tell us something else," I slurred and tried to get on my feet. Again I felt dizzy, but this time I stumbled a few steps towards him. "Everything in good time" he said and walked on. "No!" I wanted to start walking but my legs failed. I stumbled and just before I hit the ground someone caught me. Yami held my arm. When I was halfway back I turned to him. He was at least as clueless as I was. Now I became cold and my whole body went numb, and a cold sweat formed on my forehead. I was about to be in shock. It was all so much for me that I had difficulty processing everything. My legs were shaking. Yami noticed this and continued to hold me. I groaned as it blurred before my eyes. "Dany don't pass out," he took my face in his hands and forced me to look at him. "I try y-yes" again the tears ran down my cheeks. The look on his face at my reaction did the rest. With a loud sob, I threw myself with all my weight on him and hugged him. Since he wasn't prepared for it, he staggered a little. Only now did he notice that my body was shaking with tears and sobs. "Dany, are you okay?" he asked in amazement. "s-do i-look s-like w-would everything be ok with m-me?" I stammered. I tightened my hug. “Hey that's not that bad.” He tried to talk to me well, but that didn't help. I just cried myself out on his shoulder. Then Yami had mercy and put his arms around me. I slowly began to calm down, but as I said, slowly. He just held on to me. We stood in the middle of the hall while Alex, Jean and Marcello just stared at us in disbelief. After what seemed endless minutes, I broke away from Yami and looked at him. His eyes shone so warm and calm. They calmed me down. But in spite of Yami, I didn't want to leave yet. I put my hands on his chest and buried my face in his neck. I wasn't prepared at all for the reaction he showed. He put his head against mine and hugged me, pulling me close to him. I was glad he couldn't see how red I was going. But it was so nice. The Ishtars and Shadi entered the room but we didn't notice. We were in our own little perfect world. They got big eyes, especially Shadi when he saw me and Yami standing there in a very clear pose. "Um, guys, maybe you can continue doing this at home?"Jean brought me back down to earth. I just loosened up again willingly and turned to the Egyptians. Then I suddenly felt a warm hand in my own. Yami held it tight, ready for me at the right moment To thank you, I gave her a squeeze. "It seems like it would be better to reschedule the conversation for another day. You have to process what you have experienced first. I will notify you when the time is right. "He said firmly and I knew that everyone hoping, begging and pleading for an answer Shadis was hopeless at this point. We only nodded in agreement. Then it got light again and Shadi was gone." Yami, I want to go home! "I whispered and he nodded." People, we'll talk to you tomorrow at school. He didn't need to say more. Jean and Alex understood that we wanted to be alone now. Yami didn't let go of my hand on the way home either. Tea and Yugi weren't home yet, they wouldn't come back until evening. Without asking me, Yami dragged me upstairs to his room and parked me on his bed. Then he disappeared and came back with a bottle of water and two glasses. He tipped the glasses and gave me one, then got a blanket and sat down on the bed behind me. Absentmindedly I sipped the water. Only now did I realize how thirsty I was and emptied my glass in large gulps. Yami put the covers on and took the glass from me. I didn't know what he was up to He stuffed some pillows in his back, straightened up and took a short deep breath. Then he leaned forward, wrapped the blanket around me too and pulled me back with him so that I was lying on top of him. I was just happy that i I wasn't lying on my stomach. Otherwise this pose could have been interpreted as very clear. But honestly! Slowly I couldn't deny it anymore. I felt more than friendship for Yami. I blushed when I admitted that, but then my euphoria was tremendously slowed down. Did he actually feel something for me too? I've never been good at interpreting other people's feelings. “What's wrong Dany?” I think this guy has antennas for my problems. "I don't know that myself" I recognized a small spark of despair in my voice. He slid
