No Strings Attached

Chapter 7

"How the fuck did you forget the name of a facility you walk in and out almost every day?!"

"I don't know , I was nervous! And I never remember it!"

"It's Domino High! Literally the same fucking name of the city! Or did you perhaps forget what city we live in , too?"

I stared at them blankly before I spoke up. "Why the hell are you shouting so much?"

Their heads snapped instantly towards me. "How long have you been standing there?"

"Long enough to see you making idiots of yourselves. Now , what's up?"

"Marik has a boyfriend." He said simply.

Marik blushed a light shade of pink , which looked really weird on his tanned face. "He's not my boyfriend , we barely even spoke!" He yelled as he hit Bakura's arm. He then pouted and turned his back to us , crossing his arms over his chest.

I let out a chuckle. "So you like him , don't you?"

"No."

"If you didn't , you wouldn't be acting this way , you're always confident and in some of the most awkward situations you keep acting like a psycho so stop lying and tell me what happened."

Marik sighed in defeat and turned around , his shoulders slumped down. I love convincing people , and I'm pretty damn good at it.

"When I was in Egypt last weekend I met a guy. We met at the hospital , he was there to visit his mother. He looked really familiar-"

"You mean really cute?"

He glared at Bakura briefly before continuing. "He looked familiar so I talked to him and we exchanged numbers. Turns out he's from Domino."

"Yeah , and you couldn't remember what high school you go to , bravo." He clapped his hands sarcastically.

"Well , there aren't many schools in Domino , and you said he was familiar so it's possible he goes here."

"I guess I'll have to search everyday , then." He chuckled half-heartedly.

"He goes here , trust me." Bakura said with a smirk.

Marik's eyes widened. "H-How do you know?"

"Just a hunch." he said , before walking away and disappearing down the hallway , still smirking.

Me and Marik exchanged a look before walking to our own class.

*Yugi's P.O.V.*

"Grandpa , I'm home!" I yelled from the door. No answer. He must be out in the store or something.

I take off my shoes and go upstairs to my room. I plop down on my bed and sigh. Today was a long day. The teachers didn't spare us at all with homework and Joey and Kaiba's fights were more annoying than usual. Not to mention the incident with Malik.

Which reminds me , I haven't talked to Atem all day. What's happening to me , I'm acting like I can't live without him. Can't stand to be away from him for a day... Ha ha , I'm so weak! Actually we didn't really talk since the night he saved me from Ushio.

Then , an idea popped up in my mind. I rise up from the bed and grab my laptop. This may be the stupidest idea but it's all I can do right now. I went to Google and typed 'upside down pyramid' in the search bar.

At first I didn't find anything , just something about journalism and architecture. When I scrolled down at the very end , there was a site titled 'Legend of the Inverted Pyramid'. There is no URL under the title. Strange. I clicked on it and then the whole screen went black. I thought that my laptop shut down , but then a row of faded lines appeared on the screen.

The white blured lines were slowly becoming sharper. I could now see that the lines were actually letters , and when they fully came into focus , there was a text. I started to read.

A long time ago , in the mighty lands of ancient Egypt , people believed that a number of deities were watching over their country from the sky. It was told that the pharaoh was one of the Gods'  children , and thus was the one who sat at the throne.

There was a legend of which all wise men confirmed , that the god of death Anubis was banished from the heavens in the form of a spirit. The lost soul wandered through the deserts until he came up to a plan of his own.

He made his way to the royal palace , where the pharaoh and his family resided. He fused himself with the pharaoh , taking over his body and mind.

It is said that Anubis sent the souls of the royal priests in present time , while he continued his rule over the land. He sealed the eight artifacts , along with the pharaoh's pendant in the shape of an upside down pyramid , in a stone tablet in his tomb. These items were once the source of power of Egypt.

Many believe that the paharaoh's priests are once again trying to stop Anubis's rule. They believe that now that their souls are finally awake , they're bringing an end to a battle that has lasted over a millenia.

This , of course , is just a legend told amongst the streets of Egypt. It is your choice whether you believe in such power ever coming to existance.

The screen once again turned black and electricity in the whole house went down. I looked out the window and gasped. The whole town was out of power. After a few minutes , the power went back on. I sat on my bed , eyes wide out of shock , and stared blankly at the wall.

What the hell did I just read?!
