I drove to the city centre with the stereo blaring some form of screamo. I neatly parked the car in a pay by hour car-park and returned to the school for the remaining day of education.

I approached the school slowly, it was lunch I suspected as people where sat eating. I heard them before I saw the group. Under the arching branches of a blooming sakura tree. I tried to walk by without making eye contact with no avail, Tristan yelled to me "Hey, Kaiba come sit with us!" I cringed. Turning to face then I spat back,
"Ooo Kaiba, come make us popular. Jog on." This time Joey raised his voice,
"Don't bother Tristan she's just like her brother." This time I whipped around and stormed over. I sat down.
"Satisfactory Wheeler?"
I took out a brown leather belt with a pouch on the hip and strapped it round my waist, I took out a deck of brown cards and inserted them. "I wonder, what would spirits do if they had their own bodies." I said this as I took off my jacket; I looked up at Yugi and smirked. "Now I've been reading that big old tablet in the museum, I'm wonder how much turmoil it would cause." At this moment, Yugi became Yami. "Ah, I see the spirit of the puzzle has returned, Yami. As I was saying, I know what the tablet says." I said, my voice slightly higher and sarcastic. I wagged my finger. I saw anger glint in Yami's eyes while the others looked dumfound, apart from Téa that brat just crept closer to poor Yami.
I smiled and whispered. A blazing aura leapt from both Bakura and Yugi. Marik who had been walking towards them stopped as fire erupted around him. I leaned backwards against the cool grass "And my deed is done."

Exclamations of wonder surrounded what was a group of five friends but now nine stood there. Sighing I closed my eyes; praising myself with a silent congratulations I stroked the eye in the centre of the crown. "Oh Yugi, Yami you both have twin brothers too. Separated through time. I might just go now, too much time with losers might rub off." I began to stand.
"Goodbye Hikaris."

"A wha-? Come again?" this was Joey speaking

"A Hikari is a person who is the good side of a dark spirit. They are pure and simply support the dark, like yin and yang. Anything else anybody wants to know?" eager heads nodded, "Read a book then!"

The torrent began, even after my comment, "So am I light, and the spirit of the ring dark?"

"Yes." Another question was fired unforgivingly,

"So are we reincarnations," Yugi gestured to the Hikaris. I smiled this time, which must have looked scary,

"Yes." A gasp arose from Yami, everybody turned to him. As my millennium crown looked at the duplicated items, I felt tugged.

"So who are our twin brothers?" this was from Yugi,

"I'm so glad you asked, Heba and Atem." I muttered as I reached for the millennium ring, Ryo moved making it out of my reach. That was weird I thought. "I-I-I must go." I stammered briskly standing up, I gave a flustered smile as I walked off. Joey yelled after me as he and the others came running,

"Hey, there's no gettin' rid of us tha' easy." I increased my pace, but they caught up quickly,

"No need to cling to me. But, say you want to meet near the museum after school?" not waiting for an answer I strode to class.

I stood at the front in the history class imaging I would have no trouble to deal with, but I stood corrected. Joey entered the room followed by Bakura and Yugi. Oh Great the trio... I thought. I hadn't originally taken history as an option but due to there being a lack of subjects I could learn they had put me in the class. They took their seats along with the rest, the class stared at me. I compulsively scowled. The bell went and still no teacher. I perched on the desk, and picked up a stapler and clicked it a few times before replacing it on the desk. I slipped my bag off my shoulder and let it thump to the floor. Shuffling further back on the desk a question arose from the back desk, "Who are you?" I stood and pulled the jacket so the badge was visible.

"Sophie Kaiba. Do you have a problem?" The teacher still hadn't show her face but the computer had been left open on google. "Who fancies a fun lesson?" I asked murmurs of approval sounded around the room. I gestured to a tall lanky girl sat on the front desk "Shut the door will you?" I threw a set of keys to her she just managed to catch them. "And lock it." I typed swiftly into google 'Dig site – 11002 egypt'. I couldn't find the result I was looking for, I selected the search bar and typed in 'Domino museum', this time the website came up and I opened the selected link to the new exhibition, I found a link to a PowerPoint and opened it.

A knock sounded on the door as I turned on the projector. I removed my jacket and placed it over the back of the spinning chair. "Open it," I instructed the girl again, an average height woman stood there, she had blonde hair with brown roots showing. She held several A4 orange books in her arms. I spoke to her politely "Hello miss, I thought I would give the class a bit of a presentation about the new museum exhibt." Not waiting for a reply I pointed to the empty desk at the front "Why don't you sit here and do some marking, relax have a break. You do look peakish, are you ok?" Patronising is just a trait of a Kaiba.

"Ok." she mumbled as she plonked herself down. I handed out to each student a piece of lined paper, black biro and pencil.

"Write your names on the top, and date." I pointed to the PowerPoint as a title flashed up on a papyrus background. "and write millennium as your title." I watched as they scrawled it down. "Right, first does anyone know a few basic facts about ancient Egypt?" a few hands raised,"you," I pointed to a plump girl at the back, "your name and fact pleased."

"I am Annie, and my fact is they mummified the dead, to preserve them."

"Wrong," I nearly shouted it "They mummified the dead to keep the body looking like it did when the person was living therefore after travelling through the underworld the Ba, spirit would recognise it. With poorer people they created statues due to the high price of mummification. Next please." I pointed to a boy about three rows back he pushed blue glasses back onto his nose,

"My name is Aki, and-and Egyptians built obelisks to honour gods." I bit my lip they didn't do it for that reason but was I really going to share it with them,

"Er-"Should I simplify it "Well, they actually contained embossed pictures of duel monsters cards." I removed one from my deck; it was 'Dragon Gate Guardian Of Time'. I heard a few gasps. "When Maximillion Pegasus first discovered them he sought to copy them creating creature replicas. In the ancient times, the beasts where used for warfare and battles-" I was interrupted by Yami trudging in, he looked at me, was that surprise that passed his face? I thought questioning my judgment. "Yami sit over there-" I pointed next to Yugi "As I was saying, they used them for battles."
I flicked to the next slide it showed a stone tablet the one I spent my time reading. I saw Yami and Yugi's eyes flicker amazement. "This shows a great battle that happened between a Pharaoh and a priest. This is one of the most famous tablets retrieved. But I bet you haven't seen the next photo ever." I flicked the slide and it showed a tomb I tapped the board, I saw the teacher had become interested. "I welcome you to tomb 0923. It was found buried underneath a dune." My lips curved spontaneously into smile. The image enlarged to show three life-sized paintings of Egyptian women dressed in royal robes. "This is unknown girl one, two and three", laughter raged inside my body. "As you can see we speculate they were either ladies, or part of the royal of the family." Yami's eyes glared at me, he saw one looked like me. "Anyways moving on, on the sheet in front of you, write down the translations of these hieroglyphs to English."
Before the task was finished the bell rang, freedom was mine as I exited the classroom. The day was over, and I returned to the car park where I had left my car.
