Pharaoh

He stood in the dark, only the place under his feet seemed to be glowing.

He walked forward and looked around, it was a vast expanse of darkness.

There was no sound, he could only hear his own footsteps echoing in his ears.

His footsteps stopped abruptly, and a huge bronze gate seemed to appear out of nowhere to block him, and the huge Eye of Horus shone in the center of the gate.

Then, without warning, the door opened.

The Eye of Horus is split in two.

The golden light from the open door was so bright that his vision was suddenly blurred and he couldn't see anything clearly. The only thing he could feel was his body melting in the light——

When the pair of deep purple-colored eyes that seemed to be shining brightly opened, what was reflected in the translucent pupils was a face that was similar to its owner but was too immature.

At this moment, that immature face was stained with tears.

His violet eyes, which were similar in tone but slightly lighter, were red and swollen, and looked a little embarrassed.

Those eyes stared at him without blinking, and they were obviously filled with mist, but they still seemed to be able to see some strange brilliance flowing in the depths.

There are still some pale lines and the sharp corners of the lips are softened a lot because of the slightly raised arc. cheek.

He didn't want to wipe away the tears on that cheek, he just subconsciously wanted to touch the person in front of him.

The skin-to-skin contact instantly relieved his inexplicable uncomfortable feeling of hanging up and down in mid-air. His fingertips were pressed against You Yu's cheek, and he felt a little dissatisfied with the soft and warm feeling behind his ear. in the hair.

But that alone doesn't seem to be enough.

The strong throbbing that came out from the bottom of his heart to touch the other party made him couldn't help even raising his injured hand.

"Your injury—"

The tearing pain from the wound on his right shoulder was not as satisfying as the satisfaction of actually touching the game with his hands.

He held the game with both hands because he bent down slightly to look at his wound worriedly because he was accommodating him. Looking at the panic expression on that immature face, his eyes curved into soft arcs.

"very nice……"

The voice that came out of the fiery and thirsty throat was low and slightly hoarse.

He looked at the confusion in Yu You's eyes because of his words, and a contented smile appeared in his slightly curved purple-colored pupils.

He didn't explain it for a ridiculous reason.

His sleep has always been very shallow, and a slight sound can wake him up, so he rarely dreams.

However, when he was with You Yu, he fell into an unusually deep sleep. Sometimes he even wondered if the sleeping magic he had cast on You Yu had reacted on him.

Sleeping too deeply, he would occasionally dream, in which there was always a person beside him who couldn't see clearly... Maybe he could see clearly, but he just couldn't remember it when he woke up.

The man was so close to him that he could almost reach out.

But as long as he stretched out his hand, the hand would definitely penetrate that person's body.

Again and again, he felt more and more anxious.

But no matter how many times he tries, no matter how hard he tries, he will never be able to touch the person who is smiling at him.

When I woke up, I couldn't remember everything in my dream.

Only the sense of loss that wants to touch the other person but can't get it goes deep into the bone marrow, as if even the depths of the soul are empty and uncomfortable.

He held Yuyou's head and slowly pulled it down. Looking at him, you seemed a little at a loss, but he didn't dare to struggle because he was afraid of getting his wound, and obediently followed his hand holding his face. He bent down with not much strength.

The violet eyes stared at him wide open, a little red and a little hazy with moisture.

Occasionally blinking, the slender eyelashes trembled slightly, brushing against his thumb that was pressed against the corner of his eye, it was a little itchy, but there was also a soft and strange feeling that one couldn't stop.

He pressed the porcelain-white cheeks that had a skin color similar to his, and the soft and warm feeling seemed to be a warm current coming in from the place where the skin touched. The undesired impatience and sense of loss were completely expelled.

He closed his eyes and let out a low, contented sigh.

"Can touch..."

Because he was afraid of touching another wound of his, he carefully tilted his body's center of gravity to the left, so Yugi almost lay on the opponent's left shoulder.

His cheek was pressed against the other's face, and the lips were next to his ear.

The almost whispering whisper came out lightly, but he heard it clearly before it dissipated in the air.

You Yu felt his nose sore slightly, and his hands holding on to the opponent's clothes clenched a little tighter.

He remembered that before, in the real world, the other him sometimes subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab his hand like a room in his heart.

The room of the heart is a place that belongs only to them, where they can talk, laugh, talk and touch each other.

However, no matter how powerful it is, the ancient king soul is still just a soul without entity.

And reality is reality after all.

He watched the other's translucent hand penetrate his body, and the other's face flashed a look of disappointment that didn't match his haughty posture for a moment.

In the end, the other he didn't like to appear with him in the real world more and more, but only met him in the room of his heart.

He knows what makes the other him unhappy, because sometimes, he also wants to hold that warm hand in reality.

It's just that for them at that time, even the small wish of actually holding each other's hands was just a luxury.

……

It's just that none of them thought that the price of real contact with each other for the first time in reality would be eternal parting.

……

"sorry."

The game woke up from the memory, and he heard the sound of lips pressed against his ear.

He was silent for a while without answering, because he didn't know what to say.

But at this moment of hesitation, the hands holding him tightened suddenly, as if they had become tense.

"You're angry?"

The game suddenly lost its focus again.

He remembered a long, long time ago, the room where he gave Jouchi a lesson for a bracelet, but when he accidentally lost the bracelet and avoided seeing him, he aggressively pushed his heart away, and finally hesitated with an attitude of asking questions. The expression on the other person who said this to him for a long time...

"I'm not angry."

He said, in a low voice, because his nose was so sore.

He was afraid that any louder the voice would expose the vibrato in the coda.

"game?"

Sensing that he seemed a little strange, the voice that called him was also a little confused.

The call that came in right next to his ear made his heart tremble suddenly.

Something exploded in his mind, making him dizzy and shattering his memories to pieces.

He suddenly pulled away the man's hand holding him, and opened his lips, only to feel that the breath was stuck in his chest and he couldn't move up and down.

He wanted to vent the anger that suddenly surged to the top of his head, but he didn't know how to vent it, so he had to hold it back forcefully.

That immature and fair face turned red from anger or suffocation, I don't know.

"tour……"

"Stop it! I'm not angry!"

The game suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted the voice calling his name in half.

He gritted his teeth and choked out the words from his throat, but his chest heaved violently because of the inexplicable anger that was suppressed from his belly.

Taking a few deep breaths, the game tried hard to suppress this unpleasant feeling.

He knew that his anger came out of nowhere, and it was even more unreasonable.

So, he tried hard to calm himself down.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to hide from you."

Although the bleeding from the wound had stopped, the body that had lost too much blood was still very weak.

Having said so many words, the young king of unknown origin also showed a trace of exhaustion on his face at this moment.

His voice slowed down and became vague, as if he was about to fall asleep again, but only a trace of thought kept him going, allowing him to finish what he wanted to say.

"It's just that since I can remember, I've used that appearance to go out. When I met you, I didn't have a chance at first. Later, I was worried that you would no longer trust me because of this incident. As a result..."

His tone became lower and lower, and his purple-colored eyes were half-closed, showing a little eagerness and a little anxiety.

"...Who cares about that kind of thing..."

The voice of the game is very low, and the words are somewhat vague. He kneels on the ground, his shoulders are tense.

The golden hair swayed on the drooping face, and the shadow fell to cover most of the cheeks.

The two hands that were straight on the ground were tightly digging on the stone floor, and there were white marks on the knuckles.

The fingertips are still exerting force, and they are digging down so hard that they almost bleed.

He seemed to be struggling with something.

"game?"

Seeing that something was wrong with the game at this moment, the uncrowned young king propped up his body and sat up.

But his slightly anxious cry made the slender eyelashes in the corners of You You's eyes tremble slightly, and he stood up suddenly.

"You rest first, and I'll take a look around."

He said something casually as if fooling someone, and turned around to leave.

Shocked in his heart, he stood up with one hand on the ground, reached out and grabbed the wrist of Yu You who suddenly turned around and wanted to leave.

The hand trembled, as if he wanted to shake him off, so he subconsciously added some strength to his hand and held it tighter.The game pulled again, but in the end, considering his injury, he didn't dare to use any force, and was firmly grasped by him.

He saw Yuyu standing sideways in front of him with his head bowed.Looking down from above, he could only see that the slightly messy blond hair covered most of that immature face.

He couldn't see the look in Yu Yu's eyes.

He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

His keen sense made him vaguely aware that the focus of the game's attention did not seem to be the fact that he concealed his appearance, but he couldn't figure out where the inexplicable resentment he felt from the game came from...

After a long while of silence, Yu You finally raised his head to look at him.

"I'm really not angry, you're hurt, go rest, and leave the rest to me."

You You smiled at him, and his voice was very gentle, as if coaxing him to sleep.

It's just that he could see that there was no smile deep in the violet pupils, but a bit of hesitation that he couldn't understand.

His dry lips moved, but he couldn't help but speak again.

"tour……"

"shut up!"

It was a stern sentence that finally couldn't hold back and blurted out, and it just interrupted his call again.

You Yu lowered his head, tightly clenched by the fist that held his wrist, and his face flushed red again.

"I do not want to hear!"

The young man who made almost unreasonable behavior tightly pursed his lips, his immature face was slightly wrinkled, like a wronged child.

"Anyone can—"

You You refused to look at him, but just lowered his head, as if accusing the culprit.

Those violet pupils that were staring at his toes were filled with anger in an instant.

"Anyone is fine, only you... Only you can't—shouldn't call me by my name!"

The Pharaoh 3000 years ago has no memory of him.

The other him 3000 years later has also been completely forgotten.

Then the meaning of his existence here... What is it? !

Yuyu raised his hand to shake off the hand that was holding him, but the opponent eagerly grabbed his shoulder.

The golden eye hanging on the neck shook violently with the movement of its owner, and suddenly bumped into the light golden symbol of life on Yu Yu's chest.

Time seemed to stop at that moment, and the golden eyes suddenly burst into golden brilliance.

Its owner suddenly closed his eyes and fell forward at the moment it was shining. Yu Yu standing in front of him was stunned, and subconsciously reached out to catch him, but after all, he couldn't bear the weight and brought him along with him. Slumped to the ground.

Yugi looked at the glowing golden eye in amazement, only to find that it was slowly dimming again.

He stared at the golden eye lying quietly for a while in amazement, hesitated for a moment, and raised his hand to grab it.

Suddenly a ray of light lit up from his chest, You immediately lowered his head, this time the golden brilliance suddenly flashed was the imprint of the Talisman of Life on his chest.

The brilliance that was brighter than the sun illuminated the water surface of the light spring around them so that the entire surface was reflected into an extremely bright hue.

Two faint shadows suddenly slid out of the imprint of the Talisman of Life following the bright light.

They jumped out of the light in an instant, and suddenly turned into two people floating in front of Yuyou.

A man in a dark purple robe was floating in the air with a wand in his hand. He opened his eyes, which were as blue as a lake.

Immediately after, the pink girl who transformed into the light was completely contrary to the man's quiet and dark tone. Her long golden hair seemed to be pure from the melting of the sun.

Black magician.

Black magic girl.

"Long time no see, game master."

The blond girl with a clear smile smiled at the stunned and unresponsive game on the spot. She still had the pure and lovely face in the game memory, but there was a little more long-lasting and nostalgic emotion deep in her pupils.

"Since that day when you and Master had the final battle..."

The dark purple tall man next to her who was floating in the air glanced at her, and his eyes fell back on Yu Yu's body again.

He still had that expressionless expression, but there was a bit of a wry smile in his eyes as he watched the game.

As the most loyal servant of the unknown pharaoh 3000 years later, the black magician leaned slightly to salute his other master.

He said: "It has been more than 300 years since the last time I saw you."

Yu Yu opened his eyes wide and looked at the very familiar two people who suddenly appeared in front of him, his heart was beating violently.

All the answers were right in front of him, almost within his reach.

Because it was too close, he didn't dare to take it.

The Dark Magus stared at his other past master, still expressionless on his face.

But there was a bitterness in his eyes.

He said again: "Perhaps you will think our words are strange, but, game master, I followed the master back to the world, and it has been more than 300 years."

As soon as his words fell, Yuyou suddenly tightened his arms around the person in his arms.

There was a frightened look on his face, a bit stunned, a bit unbelievable.

The hand he held on the shoulder of the person in his arms suddenly clenched into a fist, and his nails pierced deeply into his palm.

The black magician said that he returned to the human world with his master.

He didn't mean that he followed his master back to the present world 3000 years later.

300 years ago, it was the time of King Ahmose of Egypt.

Yu Yu remembered that not long ago, the young Pharaoh told him himself——

According to legend, 300 years ago, the messenger of God came to Egypt at the last moment when Egypt was about to perish, and gave seven golden artifacts to Pharaoh Ahmos.
