O.k. now is my time to rant and rave that I don't own Yu-gi-oh or any of
the characters herein apart from Kira and the odd two. I will include their
names when appropriate or when they appear.
Chapter 1: Awakenings
The torches threw strange distorted shadows across the underground hall. Fires were kept burning in bronze braziers, making the Egyptian hieroglyphics on the walls move in a mysterious way. None of this was new to Isis; she had grown up with it and had grown to love it. The altar like stone stood on a cliff like ledge towards the centre of the room, it was covered in shadow. The stone illuminated any viewer with its own light. Today a tall man in a long violet cloak stood over it reading what inscription it chose to show him. She was not sure what he had been so worried about to insist on seeing the stone. She had her own problems, one of a very special people had been sent away from the desert for protection but now there were no well trained guards to protect her. Maybe if she addressed the issue with him he would tell her what the stone said. "We should never have sent her away; she is in more danger than when she was here with us." The hooded head lifted up a little and Isis could hear a soft whisper as if a breath had been released. "Maybe you are right my child." Isis lifted her head and smiled. "I will tell my brother to get her back shall I?" She turned to leave and then heard the whisper of heavy fabric being turned. "My child," she turned back to the man his hand was lain gently on top of the altar, "You may send your brother out...but he would not arrive in time." "Then I should alert the Nubian guards in that city." A hollow laugh came from the cloaked figure. "You do not understand...maybe you should not have given Yugi your millennium item. You would be able to see what I do." "Forgive me for my rashness." The figure turned his back on her. "You are young...and easily forgiven. I know she will survive the first wave of attack from them...but..." the double doors behind them burst open and a lone figure stumbled in collapsing after a few steps. His blonde hair covered his face and deep red gashes had been cut into his arms and torn shirt. His breathing was harsh obviously from over exertion. "Isis...they are here, they..." he coughed and spat some blood on the floor. Isis ran to her brother's side, he looked up at her with frightened blue eyes, "They will find her if we don't get there in time." "What do we do? We can't let them get her!"
The young woman ran as fast as she could through the crowded streets of Domino. She had lived her four months now but still she couldn't seem to be able to get up early enough. She quickly pulled on the leather jacket that had been in one hand while trying to eat a cereal bar. Her long, jet black hair was making this job no easier. It whipped her in the face and eyes causing then to sting. "Stupid alarm, stupid..." she slowed down and finished chewing her breakfast. She pulled out a dark purple hairbrush from her bag and raked it through her waist length hair, when that job was finished she pulled it into a loose pony-tail, at least that way it wouldn't get in her face anymore. She cursed herself some more and then broke into a fast jog to get to the arcade. She had already taken Joey's title of late comer twice this week and hated having to be late again. She knew she had to get there in two minutes time or be classed as Joey's flunky. She could see the mall up ahead of her and smiled. "Almost there." She gasped and sped up to get there in time. She was almost there and had forgotten about most of those around her, which is probably why her next move was to land on the floor after running into someone. Frantically she gathered the things she had dropped and sorted out her hair. "Sorry," she muttered, "I'm..." "It's alright Kira," a familiar voice spoke softly; "I didn't see you either." It was an old acquaintance, Seto Kaiba. He seemed tired not even giving her any snide remarks for once. In fact he offered her his hand, something he had never done before, unless of course it meant he was going to get in trouble with the police. She took it gratefully and took the time to admire his cuffs. They were soft silver that ended at his elbows, with little metal rivets driven into them. His skin was a little rougher than most people of her age but she guessed that was because of working a lot harder than them, and having a brother. He was very strong as well; he used very little effort to pick her up. She stared at him for a second and then smiled. She had seen him rarely since their graduation from high school and never had she seen him like this. He looked very tired; his icy blue eyes were not as bright as they had been. He looked so pale she was quite taken aback. He smiled at her, a proper smile not a smirk which is what everyone got. The shock must have been showing on her face. "Do I really look that bad." She was rather astonished by all of this; Kaiba really was out of character today. All she could bring herself to do was nod. Finally she got up the courage to speak. "Hey, you headed to the mall?" he gave her a side long look and then nodded. "I take it your going to meet Yugi." She felt a slight blush rise in her cheeks and nodded, not that he had any business asking her but she felt obliged to answer, "Why do you even bother?" he held up a hand as she opened her mouth to answer, "I'm not bothered today. Do you mind if I walk with you for a bit?" "No, I'm late so it won't matter much if I'm any later."
They entered the large glass building through the sliding doors. Kira couldn't be bothered to go through the manual ones and by the looks of it neither did Kaiba. He smirked as he caught sight of the decorations inside. "They do this every year." He pointed to the New Year's dragons and lanterns the hung from the ceiling, "It gets quite boring, I think it's humorous that they even try." Kira had never seen so many colourful trinkets and was amazed at how much effort had been put into it all. "We never had anything like this at home." She smiled and walked forward. "You remind me of my brother when we first saw them." She turned back to Kaiba and let her hair fall over her eyes to obscure her view a little. He was smiling at her again, "I'll have to leave you here I'm afraid." He walked towards a large coffee shop to sit outside. "When you've finished work today do you want to get a drink or something?" he shook his head and left her there. She gave a quick glance after him and ran towards the arcade.
Tea stood looking out towards the doors of the mall, she had just seen Kira come in...with Kaiba! She watched as the 5' 9'' teenager rushed towards her. Her friend had blue eyes with silver highlights; her hair was jet black and waist length. Today she wore a white t-shirt over which was a classic black leather jacket. She was wearing baggy black trousers with tassels hanging off around her feet, she looked stunning. "Tea...Hello." Kira smiled as she slowed down. "Hey. Kaiba escorting you every where now?" Kira gave her a fake I look hurt glance and then both of them burst into hysterics. "Well come on it's not everyday I see you anywhere near him." "Well apart from school I haven't seen him much." She replied in her sweet innocent tone. Joey now approached the two giggling girls. "If you keep using that tone..."he smiled goofily at her, "We'll all think you like him." "Shut up you!" Kira yelled and gave both of them a mock look of sadness, "I'll start to think you don't like me." Tea loved watching Kira wind up her blonde friend with out so much as moving any muscles, except her mouth of course. Tea smiled and linked arms with her friend, dragging her away from a fight that was about to ensue. It wasn't that Kira disliked Joey, much the opposite, Joey adored her like a sister and seeing as Tea was the only one to know this she was not about to let her two best friends tear each other to bits. She turned to her friend and whispered harshly in her ear. "You don't have to carry on teasing him like that you know." Kira stared at her for a second blankly. "You mean he doesn't take that as a joke?" she seemed quite lost for a second. "Look take it from me, I've known Joey a lot longer than you, and what you just did...that could have turned into a full scale mouth off." "Oops...very sorry Tea, didn't mean it." Kira was genuinely concerned now, "God...I hope I didn't hurt his feelings or anything." "Not likely. I know he's my friend but he can sometimes be a sandwich short of a picnic." The two girls laughed some more before making their way slowly to Mai and the others. Kaiba watched them go with tired eyes and frowned at the young women. He still didn't understand why he felt so attached to Kira. He supposed that was why he had been dating Isis for the past three months. Not that she acted like she cared... sadly he look down at his scarred wrists.
Authors notes: Right that's this chapter over and done with. It all started with a friend of mine saying what would happen if a girl was as important as the Millennium items. Please R&R I don't care what it is as long as I get some...though constructive criticism would be nice.
