This gives the scenes a good emotion.

{Prologue!}

Funny how everything turned out the way it did. She held his gaze, sickened from all the emotions that came out of nowhere. They assaulted her. First there was happiness, then anger which seeped into her very veins, and then sadness that all but near brought her to tears. It was strange that the Pharaoh could do that to her. She wanted to hate him but couldn't. Something inside her screamed out in recognition but the ragged girl refused to let the recognition claim her. She was limping and from sheer force of will she was standing up with her ragged clothes, raspy breathing, cuts and bruises on her legs and face. Her breathing was very heavy as everyone around her panicked. Nobody knew if there was an attack on the palace but the six priests were ready for anything.

The Pharaoh was standing up with a shocked look that was estranged with something in his red-purple eyes, but she didn't know what. The priests looked ready for battle slowly stalking her. She never noticed her friends and family. Yugi, Tea, Joey, Tristan, her father, mother, sister, and the full Bast Clan, including the head of the clan which was her grandmother, they were all staring at her. They all saw her blood stain the ground and her frayed wounds glisten in the light. They were not pretty.

"Sarah!" She heard someone say but she didn't know who it was. Could it have been her mother?

It hurts.

"What is the meaning of this? Shara!" Someone yelled, as her vision was becoming a hassle but the only thing that went through her mind was the impossibility of that person standing in front of her.

This was all a joke, 'Right?' ;she thought to herself. To think that all of the events from before were just a ploy to get her to the situation she was in now. Her heart gave that familiar tug; her nightmares crept behind her mind. Lurking. A familiarity of him; that was all she felt besides vomiting on the floor and a headache from all of the weakness. Someone touched her gently from behind but she didn't turn. Her light-purple eyes were all on him.

Why does it hurt?

"Sarah, let me look at your wounds. You're severely injured." It was a deep voice. Her father's?

"She is my daughter my lord." She saw a woman who looked like her speak to a man who looked like Seto Kaiba. The woman looked concerned her light-purple eyes wide with shock. She was walking towards Sarah when the priest stopped her.

'Why? What is this feeling?' She asked herself as she almost fell to the ground.

"Let me look at your wounds before you bleed to death!" The man's voice was urgent but she didn't care. She cringed as her side hurt thanks to the advanced version of the sinspawn. She had dueled it and she had lost to it. The darn thing got away without a host. The duel wasn't pleasant, like the Shadow World it was dangerous and the attacks were real. It was certainly close to a shadow game, the only difference was she hadn't lost her soul. She lost blood and energy. All of her energy was sucked away and the sinspawn deliberately attacked her after the game. She only stumbled back with her left arm intact and only received a graze thanks to her weakness. It was more than a graze but she knew that if she hadn't gotten to her father fast everything would have been done for naught. She was in the court room, her mind slowly ebbing away.

My body hurts.

The familiar Pharaoh began to speak to her mother. "She looks like Aleka." (A/N: pronounced= A-L-EA-CK-A). He said slightly worried. He started to walk towards her.

"Pharaoh, we don't know what's wrong with her." Siamun, his vizier, complained. He ran after the Pharaoh but was stopped.

"Her father is touchinging her and he isn't infected." He stared back at the girl, sadness coated his face as both Sarah and he made contact. "She looks so much like Anka."

Siamun shook his head rapidly, hands raised. "Your holiness, she may look like little Aleka but she is not her. Look at her eyes! They're purple; Princess Aleka's eyes were gold, like the sun." Still the Pharaoh refused to believe his Vizier.

My mind hurts.

Sarah's mind gave way as she gave her full weight to the unknown man. By then other people surrounded her. "Hold on I got you!" The deep voice said holding her. She was laid into his arms looking up at the high ceiling of the court. Her eyes were halfway shut.

The Pharaoh immediately ran over to the fallen girl with Shara in tow. Yugi and the gang crowded behind the man holding her as the Pharaoh and her mother looked down at her from the opposite of Yugi and company.

She heard other voice's too. They surrounded her. "Please be okay!" A female's voice wavered.

Sarah shifted her gaze to the Pharaoh and she held it. Her mouth quivered as her heart wanted to burst. Pain and sadness covered her spirit.

He stared back with his gaze. He leaned down and grasped her hand. She coughed up blood spitting some onto the Pharaoh, Atem's face. She winced as his name came out of nowhere. On his cheek some of her blood was splat there. She wanted to wipe it away.

My soul hurts.

"Come on, you're not a wimp! I know you can pull through!" If the pain wasn't so great on her body Sarah would have laughed. This voice sounded like he was from Brooklyn. She couldn't tell which as other voices entered with more encouragement.

"Sarah you can do this, keep breathing." Another male voice.

My heart hurts.

There was but one voice that caught her attention, only one familiar voice. "You can't leave, I know you're getting tired of running after these things but we're friends, you just can't leave us standing here." She turned her head to look at the violet eyed boy; he looked just like Him except his eyes were less sharp. "We're all a team, you can't forget that."

She nodded her head and understood but she couldn't keep her eyes open for much longer. "I'll just sleep for a bit." She whispered lightly before closing her eyes. She felt someone squeeze her hand and shake her awake but she was too tired to wake up, she was too tired to think of anything but the sweet embrace of sleep.

My memories hurt…

Tell me what you think ^-^! So review, review!
