dude!"
"Hi ...!", Atemu hadn't caught the card, but he saw it - Koriboh ... before the wind blew up and pressed the card to the railing.
"Sorry, we're a bit late. Tea stayed downstairs and is looking for her exchange student," apologized Yugi, who pecked the card from the parapet and held it out to Atemu. "Here please."
"You have tickets ?!" Joey let go of him. "Where did you get it from ?!", he grabbed the Koriboh before Atemu took it in his hand: "You still have it? Why?"
"The cards were suddenly there when I woke up. I nodded off while I was waiting and when I woke up they were there ..." he tried to get the card without waiting. He probably wouldn't care who it was, but it was precisely this card, which was his only clue for his search, that he wanted most of all to have it back in his deck. Koriboh had always been an integral part of his deck, no matter how he put the deck together, this one card had always been a part of his deck just like the black magician and the black magician girl.
"Well, but he's pretty weak ..." said Joey."Don't say that! It may not appear like that at first glance, but you should know by now that the first impression is often deceptive. And Koriboh in particular has often helped me and the Pharaoh in a tight spot," Yugi objected.
"Hm ?!", Joey looked at the card and suddenly had the feeling that it was being pulled out of his hand. Faster than it could react, a gust of wind grabbed her, carried her over the parapet, where she sailed around in the air.
"No ..." Atemu's eyes widened, then squinted.
"Joey!", Yugi looked at him reproachfully.
"Hm ... ey that wasn't me, she started her own business!" Contradicted the blonde loudly: "I would never just throw away a card. Especially not one from a good friend. What do you think of me ?!" He wasn't sure how he had lost the card, but it had been a strange feeling. As if the brown ball itself had released the card into the wind. "I'll buy you a new one too ..."
Atemu didn't listen to him, but turned on his heel and ran down the stairs.
"Hey buddy! That's just ..." Joey frowned, what was it that I was driving him ...?
"Atemu ?!", Yugi looked at the card, how wind danced for him ... it reminded him of his Exodia cards from earlier ... At that time it was Joey who tried to bring them back to him. "Come on Joey! Let's hurry up and get the card back for him", Yugi ran past Joey who followed him. "Hey! Now wait for us!"

"Hmm ... where is she?", Tea stood undecided with Tristan at the main entrance of the school building and looked around. She was sure that she had an appointment here, but she saw no student she did not know. They were all more or less familiar faces and none of them looked like that, so it would be foreign.
"How about if I wait here and you go across the yard?" Suggested Tristan. "Duke ran away because of his business and I'm also careful. It could be that she meant the main gate or she got lost on the school grounds."
"Yes, of course. Maybe my mother misunderstood something when she talked to her." It annoyed Tea that it didn't go as smoothly as she had hoped. It could take forever on campus to find the girl. It would probably make the most sense to wait until she got to the main gate. After all, it was the only way out of school if she wasn't a climbing monkey. While Tea was walking through the school yard, lost in her thoughts, she did not see the black-haired foreigner who was standing under a tree and watching the roof in its shadow.
From where she was, she couldn't be seen from above and since the three boys up there were just looking at the map that was being carried around by the wind, it was even easier not to be seen. Had Tea noticed her then she would have noticed the gentle expression on the newcomer's face, and probably saved the search.As soon as Tea was past her, the map sailed purposefully to her and turned into the brown fur ball as it was shown on the map itself. "Kurii koriii!"
"Hello my little one ... not seen for a long time", she had barely stroked Koriboh and hugged him once, he jumped into the air and turned back to the map.

"Damn ...", Atemu rubbed his head ... the card could not be found ... even Tea and Tristan had helped, but it seemed as if the wind had carried them further away, or maybe a student had them taken away.
"What is so important about this card?", Yugi asked.
"Exactly! You can replace a Koriboh, that's no drama!", Joey waved off. "I'll get you a new one today if Yugi's grandpa doesn't have one in stock.
Atemu looked at his friends ... yes they couldn't know ... Until now he hadn't had time to tell them why he was here again ...
"You still have something to do, don't you?" Tea looked a bit uneasy at the floor.
"Yes, I did ...", he nodded and began to explain to his friends why he had been sent back. Told about the judgment of the gods and the assumptions of Mahado and Mana ... He had their cards in hand and looked at each other ... It was like helping him find the words.
"Then you are here to find your wife ...", Yugi looked at him and smiled. "I would be happy if you introduce them to us!"
"Yes, the one where you tore open must be a real hammer. After all, as Pharaoh and Prince you had all the girls to choose from!" Tristan grinned broadly.
"Not really ..." Atemu looked at him. "For me as a prince there were levels that I had to adhere to. As a rule, princes marry their sisters because women inherit the blood of the gods. A pharaoh bases his more legitimate claim on the divine blood in his wife's veins, that is almost even more important than some blood. In addition there are the princesses and high daughters of the neighboring 9 Bogenländer and high officials to secure the peace and to ensure the loyalty of the entourage. The more children one has the better it is. I had myself no sisters, so it was all the more important to find a woman who was high enough in rank. My father and my mother therefore had many girls and young women come, one prettier than the other, and yet in the end I did not choose a princess, but the daughter of the two highest Isis priestess. The goddess who brought me here said that I will find her quickly ... Koriboh should help me. Without this card it will be difficult to know rden. I don't know her name anymore and I have no idea why she is here. Apparently she has a reason not to come back so I'm assuming something is wrong ... "
"Then we'll help you!", Yugi put her hand on his shoulder. "No matter what it is, you have us by your side. We are a team!""Yeah, sure! It would be boring if we left the fun to you alone!", Tristan nudged Joey, who had looked at Tea, who looked quite insecure.
"Don't do that ... And we will certainly help him! What else are we here for, or Tea ?!"
"What ?! Yes ...", she was startled, but didn't look too good.
"What is Tea?", Atemu asked.
"Oh ... nothing ... I just don't know what to think of it ..." she admitted, hiding the main reason. What she had just experienced was a shock, but on the other hand it was also basically realistic. Why shouldn't he have had a wife and why come back when he had no reason.
"I know it's strange. My time is already over and the dead usually have no place in the realm of the living. It's strange for me too ..."
"I don't mean that!", Tea looked at him: "But why do you always have to do something when you're here. You are always looking for something and then it's just dangerous again! Just forget about it and just stay here. Let and enjoy the last school year and then ... "
"Tea!" Tristan shook her head.
"He can't ...", Yugi sighed deeply. "The Pharaoh cannot simply shirk his responsibility. That is not his way at all and it would be unfair to his other friends if he did not return."
Joey is silent. He had suspected what was really going on in Tea ... It was always easy for her to see that she had fallen in love with the Pharaoh, but it had always been the case that this part of Yugi had never shown interest in the brown-haired friend. It had always been more Yugi himself who had made the move to want Tea as a boyfriend, but he had never admitted that.
"But we're his friends ..."
"Yes, Tea, you are my friends and I like you all very much, but in my time I have had friends who have accompanied me on my way. Wake up with me and always stood by my side and fought. Some are still waiting on me, Others have set out for a new life. Kiba and Ishizu are reincarnations of people who survived then and have grown old. But part of their ba was there and welcomed me. Tea I am grateful to you, that you are there for me and that I am also allowed to call friends, but I owe it to myself and my loyal followers that I take my tasks seriously and fulfill them. "Atemu hope that she would understand him. When it comes to friendship, Tea had always been very consistent and so she should understand that he had no other choice. Inwardly, he was also sure that he would not have taken any other path, whom he would have had a choice. It was much more important to him to fulfill his task and to keep his promise to Mana.
"We understand that", came from Tristan: "Then let's keep looking.That damn card is gonna be here somewhere. Who should steal a Koriboh card too? Tea what about you? Weren't you going to look for your new roommate ?! "
"Oh .. yes ...", Tea turned pale, since she had totally forgotten about Atemu. The girl would surely wait, she didn't even know the way or something. "I have to go!"
As soon as Tea was up and about to go, the sky began to darken in a flash. Much too soon for a solar eclipse, something pushed itself in front of the sun and let the warmth drop suddenly.
"What kind of clouds are these?", Joey jumped up and looked at the sky.
"Clouds ?!", Atemu's blood sagged "They are definitely not clouds! That is something different ... Something from an old time ..."
As if someone had heard him, a thunderous voice rose over the
