Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ And They Thought One Thief Was Enough ❯ Chapter 5

Author's Note: Okay, this chap. Is uber short. But then again, I'm going to do at least a 3-part upload today, starting with the previous chapter. Soon the OTHER denizens of Ryou's new home-town will start to surface…

Author's Note 2- I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, OR it's characters. I own the OCs though.

Ilatics- If they are underlined, they are Egyptian words.

Chapter 5- Waking

Time: 6:00 am EST
Location- The Previously Mentioned House in the New Jersey Suburbs

The basement door opened and the golden-haired teen greeted the day with a yawn. As if attached to her, the doll was once again clutched in her left hand, dangling from an arm. Nicole made her way through the kitchen to the dining room to find Ryou idly eating a bowl of cereal. Around his neck was an oversize golden ring, centered by a stylized Wadjet Eye. Setting the doll on the table, Nicole pulled out a chair across from her sibling, who wearily eyed the plush, and poured herself a bowl of cereal. Ryou looked the toy over; finding none of the malice it had had the night before. Still, there was a wrongness to it, like someone who was trying very hard not to move so as not to be found.

”What exactly IS that thing?”

Nicole stopped eating and swallowed.

”What do you mean?”

”I saw.. I mean I THINK I saw it going through my things last night. I guess it was a dream.”

Nicole put a hand on the doll's head and turned it to face her.

”Anything is possible, but it was probably just a dream.”

She took another spoonful of cereal, chewed thoughtfully, swallowed, and turned back to her step-brother.

”You know, since its Summer Break I could show you around the nieborhood.”

”That would be nice.”

And in a few minutes, the duo was ready to go out and greet the day.

 

 

 

Note: Starting in about this chapter I will start introducing Egyptian terms and phrases. In my spare time I am learning this dead language and, being that there WILL be a lot of Egyptian stuff going on, it makes sense to use it. You may have heard a few of these other places, and some may be a little different from what you've heard. This is because not only did the Egyptian tongue stop being spoken before English-speakers could record the correct pronunciations, but this language used very few vowels in their written version. And besides, some words have been severely-Westernized. Like Re and apposed to Ra, Oser to Osiris, and Heru to Horus. These translation flaws will also be used, but you'll have to wait to see how.

Wadjet- The right eye of Heru (Horus) that symbolized healing, protection, magic, and the sun. The Millennium Items, except for the Ankh (Key) all have the Wadjet somewhere on them, often stylized.
