A Little Help

Seven's Interference

* I do NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh.

???'s POV

I wake up to hear noises in the distance. It seems the seal is broken. I'm finally free, but what's that sound? I grudgingly get up and walk towards the source of the sound. Is that....crying, I hear? I walk out from the corner of the chamber I'm in and see a shocking sight. There are two humans who look exactly alike! The taller one's trying to calm down the crying smaller one. And all the others in the room seem to be radiating a sad aura. Why? I focus my blurry vision to get a better look at who the humans are. ......Huh? Wait a minute. Isn't that Yugi Mutou and the Pharaoh Atem?! What are they doing? From the looks of it, they just finished dueling and the Pharaoh lost. Why are they sad, though? Isn't it just a duel? I search my memories for information on this, but come up with nothing. Now there's a penny for your thoughts. A powerful Goddess of Time and Knowledge like myself doesn't know something. I'll find out soon enough. I see the two doppelgängers hug each other as the shorter one's tears stop. I sense there's more to their relationship that Atem lets on, but that Pharaoh doesn't seem to like the idea of sharing it with the others here. Well maybe I could do something about that. As I eavesdrop on their conversation I see the Pharaoh walk up to the Eye of Horus. He announces his name as the Eye splits in two revealing the gate to the spirit realm. Ohhhh, no wonder they're sad. The Pharaoh's spirit will pass on. I see the Pharaoh's friends run up to him to convince him to stay. They eventually give up because they know what's best for him. I see the Pharaoh turn to look one last time at Yugi whose tears seem to be resurfacing. He sighs as he walks forward to wipe away the tears. His eyes hold many words unsaid. Okaaaay! This is annoying! Their interactions are making me impatient. I decide to make myself appear as I sneak behind the Pharaoh and push him towards Yugi. The two fall forward as their lips crash together. YES!! I did it! I silently try to return to my hiding place as the two lookalikes process what just happened, but my journey is cut short as an albino kid, named Ryou I believe, points me out. How did that kid see me?! I have my invisibility barrier up? Oh no, the barrier disappeared. I try to get away before anyone sees me, but I moved too late. Everyone's attention is on me.

"Ummm, hi there." I reply awkwardly.

"Who are ya?" asks the blonde one.

"No one important. See you." I quickly turn away as I try to run away.

"Stop!" They say. When I look up. I'm surrounded. "Why did you push the Pharaoh forward?" They ask.

It seems like they didn't notice the kiss part. "Reasons." Is my only reply. The woman closest to me....Ishizu if I remember correctly?.... looks at me with a knowing smile. I look over to the Atem's and Yugi's position as I see them continuing the kiss. Oh Ra. Don't they know that they're in front of people? I cough loud enough that the pair looks up, faces flushed. They get off of each other as Atem looks at me with recognition.

"It's been a while, Seven." he says.

I sigh. "It indeed has been a while, Pharaoh."

"Seven??!!" I hear Seto yell. "Is that you?!"

"Yes, Seto. It's...been a while."

"That's all you can say to me?"

"Sorry."

"Sorry's not gonna cut it. Where the hell have you been?! Mokuba's been worried sick. We thought you died!"

"S-Seven? Is that...really you?" asks Mokuba shakily.

"Yeah."

"Seven!!" exclaims Mokuba as he hugs me. "I-we missed you!"

"Haha! It's been quite a while, Mokie, Seto." I say as I return the hug.
