A Dream in Words
A day in which anything can happen, and possibilities soar in the wind.
Seto Kiaba quietly walked down the dark streets of Domino City. He was at one of his company extensions that had a shocking downfall in their stocks when a truck full of Kiaba Corp. Virtual Monster Duel Systems had been run into a sewer. He had nasty argument with the stock managers on what to do about this catastrophe that would surely cause their funds to drop dramatically. He decided that he needed a nights rest before making a response to this devastation. Now he strolled down the sidewalk with the moon shining dimly behind the thin clouds. He took a deep breathe of the night air and felt strangely relaxed in the stars light.
'How comforting tonight is…' thought Seto. He continued walking while swinging his suitcase at his side until he saw the Kiaba Mansion in the horizon. He checked his gold watch safely tucked away on the inside of his coat for the time. 'Ten o'clock hmmm? Mocuba had better be in bed then.' He smiled at the thought of Mocuba's happy face. Nothing ever seemed to bring the small child down, even being in trouble. He entered the warm house with the aroma of cinnamon drafting from the kitchens.
"I'm home!" yelled Seto. Despite the fact that Mocuba was to be in bed by now, he highly doubted that the little brat would be there. A loud crash from the kitchen greeted his doubts, and in a few loud clanks, out ran Mocuba with a chief's hat holding a tray with cinnamon rolls (coated in sugar might I add) with a rather large grin on his face.
"Ohayo onni-chan! I wanted to give you a surprise when you got home, so I cooked you tease!" said Mocuba. *AN-remember, he's just a child, and can't pronounce all of his vocabulary right* the older Kiaba gave his brother a homely smile.
"Thank you Mocuba, but aren't you supposed to be in bed now? And where are the cooks? And the maid…and where is my butler… and…" He looked around. "Where is everybody?!" yelled Seto. Mocuba looked down.
"They were all working so hard that I told them to take the west of the day off…" sniffed Mocuba. "I'm sorry!" He almost broke into tears. Seto, being the sap he was, gave his brother a big hug.
"Oh it's ok Mocuba! They'll be back tomorrow, there is no harm done! Don't cry now, let's go watch a movie and eat your cinnamon rolls you made. You go run into the Brother Room and pick out a movie." Mocuba instantly gave the tray to Seto and zoomed off into the "Brother Room" *Another AN- I would call it a family room, but it's just the brothers living in the house, right? * like nothing had ever happened. Seto walked into the kitchens to clean the expected mess, but to his surprise nothing was out of order. No door open, no flour on the floor, no stack of pans in the sink, not even a burnt oven. He opened his mouth slightly in shock at the clean area. He opened a door, but no pans fell out.
"Mocuba!" yelled Seto. Mocuba came in with a wide grin holding a movie.
"I wanna watch 'tis!" cutely said Mocuba. He held up the DVD case with cartoon horses on the front and it was labeled {Spirit- Stallion of the Cimarron}.
"That's great Mocuba, but what is better is this clean kitchen! Any tricks?" asked Seto in a serious tone. Mocuba shook his head so violently that his hair swung from side to side, slapping his face. "Well Mocuba, this is the first night I've come home to a clean house! You can stay up until your little heart's content tonight." He smiled. ***
Little to the Kiaba's knowledge, their home was under close watch. From outside the window a large shadow was stalking Seto, but was never seen by anyone. This creature crept to another window and peered inside to watch Mocuba and Seto walk in, talking to each other about something that wasn't heard outside the walls of the mansion. It set its hand on the window seal, and carefully observed them sit down in the rather comfy couch to watch a movie on the wide screen T.V. It cautiously moved behind a bush by the window and sat ready for the long wait for Seto Kiaba to move. Seto unexpectedly stood though, and walked from the room. The creature watched him walk through some double doors, which led to the front door. It crouched lower to the ground to insure its safety from being caught. Kiaba walked out the door a moment later and walked away from the mansion.
The creature waited until Seto was a good distance away and ran silently behind the hedges. It ran so swiftly that one could swear its feet never touched the ground. When it was near Seto it stopped running and dove into the ground, making no noise at all, and laid on the dirt in the shadows, away from eyesight of Seto. It watched him stop suddenly and look the opposite way, to where orion's belt was formed in the sky. ***
'Wow, I don't think I could get enough of tonight' thought Seto. He looked at his feet, but was instantly distracted by something that was out of place. He gave the ground a grave look and looked behind him. Something was terribly wrong…
'Wait… since when did I have two shadows?' thought Seto. One shadow was pitch black, while another was slightly faded into the ground. He looked at the faded one in front of him when he felt a sudden weight on his shoulders and something forcefully hit him in the back of the head. All together the world went black, shunting him from its sight… * I took this quote from another one of my stories in the DBZ section called A Man Changed Forever, I liked it so much I had to use it again! ^^ *
Seto opened his eyes slightly to find himself looking at someone's back, upside down. He realized that this thing was carrying him over its shoulder. He also noticed that the sun was barely coming up, and Mocuba was at home alone. 'No time to think about where I'm going! I have to see if Mocuba is ok!' thought Seto wildly. He formed a fist from his hand and hit the thing in the back as hard as he could, which was difficult seeing as he normally doesn't punch upside down. It stopped and the rushing colors around them came to a halt. The creature threw Seto on the ground and gave him a death glare. Kiaba rubbed his head and opened his eyes to see a man with dark black eyes leaning in his face. Seto instantly backed away from him and his crystal blue eyes grew wide as he realized who had kidnapped him.
'This isn't possible, there was no way the he could be real!' thought Seto. He had come face to face with the life Dark Magician.
"But your just a card!!" panicked Seto. He backed up into a tree. Once again the Magician leaned close to Seto's face.
"That is where you are mistaken Kiaba." said The Dark Magician. Seto could feel the Magician's breath on his face.
"What do you want? Where is Mocuba?" asked Seto. Dark Magician leaned back and seemed deep in thought. "What did you do to my little brother?"
"The small one is fine. I never touched him." Said Magician. "He never strayed from innocence. It's you Seto that has earned a life of slavery and torture. All of your misdeeds have guided you into my path, in which I fully accept a challenge like you. I am to let you see the torture you have caused, suffer the insanity you've created, and touch the pain you make. Unless you want to stray further into the Reaper of Card's path, you will learn your lesson to heart, and never stray again." He picked up Seto over his shoulder again and took off again, breaking the sound barrier. Kiaba felt like he was going to be sick with the dead silence. He couldn't hear Magician's feet hit the ground, or air rushing by his ears, or even his own breathing. But in a matter of a minute they stopped at a cave and Magician set Seto down. He walked into the cave and there was silence again. Seto sat on the ground watching the cave and was startled by a sudden freeze in time and a large flash in the cave.
Magician walked back out and stood next to Seto and helped him up.
"You will stay here today, I have other matters to attend to." said Magician. In another flash he disappeared and left Seto standing in the middle of nowhere with no food for a day. Seto sighed.
"And I thought I was over with my diet" said Seto. He walked into the cave to find none other than Yugi sitting in the room looking dazed. "Yugi! What are you doing here!" yelled Seto. He ran to Yugi and shook his shoulders. Yugi shook his head.
"Thank you Kiaba." said Yugi in his deep voice. Seto looked at Yugi closely.
"You're not Yugi…" said Seto. "I've seen you before, but I've never noticed that it wasn't Yugi. Who are you?" asked the confused Kiaba.
"My name is Yami, but you're wrong in a way. I am Yugi, just not the Yugi you know. Yugi is the reincarnation of me; I was the pharaoh in Ancient Egypt a long time ago. I believe you were there to, but as one of the Tomb Robbers. Your spirit name was Surgkon I think."
"But… but when Yugi is dueling you appear, how come this 'Surgkon' never comes out when I duel?" asked Seto.
"Because your spirit hasn't found you yet." Said Yami simply.
"Yet? Your spirit has to find you?" said Seto.
"Yes, once the spirit finds you, its job is to guide the soul through right. I'm Yugi's spirit, but the Dark Magician pulled me from Yugi and brought me here, saying something about how I need to learn my lesson, then just left." Seto began laughing.
"Woo! Great, the perfect Yugi spirit needs to learn to be more caring and considerate! Never expected that the guide himself would need lessons!" laughed Seto. Yami didn't see the funny in it.
"And do you think your Tomb Robber would be any better than me? Not all spirits guide the soul the right way; some don't even guide the soul at all. Just look at Ryou, Bakura just sits there now a days expecting to be fed."
"Bakura? That is his spirit's name? I thought that was his real name…" said Seto.
"No, his name is Ryou," said Yami. There was a silence as Seto crammed all this new info into his mind.
"How does the spirit find you?" asked Seto.
"Well, they find an item to be given to the soul, and they enter it, most preferable an ancient item, such as the millennium item, and when the item is given to the soul, so is the spirit, and the spirit can stay there for whatever length of time is needed." said Yami. Seto sat starring at the cave wall deep in thought.
"I know this isn't what we've been talking about, but why don't we just leave? I need to get to Mocuba, and you… well, why should I care about your business? It doesn't matter to me, but Mocuba will be worried sick, and destroy the house for that matter. And if the police come and find him alone, they'll take him to an orphanage!" Kiaba started to panic. "What will I do? I need out, or Mocuba will never trust me again!" He jumped up and franticly looked for a way out. Then he remembered the entrance around the wall, so he ran to it and just when he was about to get out, and electrical current started up and electrocuted him. He stumbled back and collapsed on the ground. "Why didn't you tell me the exit was fenced by electricity?" mumbled Seto. Yami stood.
"You wouldn't have listened to me." simply said Yami. Seto jumped up again and grabbed a rather large rock and threw it through the exit. It passed by with no lightning, and landed safely on the outside. "I was sitting on that!" yelled Yami.
"Ah, I see, it needs time to reboot. Perfect, here's my chance!" He ran to the entrance again, but instantly was shocked and thrown back.
"Ha, rocks don't conduct electricity baka." Laughed Yami. Seto stood up and got Yami into an old fashion headlock, and began punching him in the back of the head.
"You (punch) will (punch) pay! (Whack!)" Something very heavy hit Seto's back and was now on top of him; who was on top of Yami. Poor Yami struggled to move his arms, which were being crushed, but was unsuccessful with two things on top of him.
"Could you kindly GET OFF!" yelled a strangely muffled voice of Yami. Seto realized that it was Magician sitting on top of them, and was humming a little ancient lullaby. "No, really, I like the taste of DIRT! Said a sarcastic Yami. Seto grabbed Magician's staff with his teeth * Hehe! His arms were being crushed too, I'm so evil!! * And yanked on it to get his attention.
"Now why did you have to go and start fighting? I was only gone for three hours." Said Magician. He cocked his head to the side watching Seto 'eat' his staff trying to get him off. "Fine, but no more fighting. Lesson one, fighting will just leave you with heavy guilt on your back."
"If you're guilt, you sure weigh a lot!" said the restrained Yami. He was relieved when the weight was taken off his back. * That could be taken two different ways, couldn't it? * Both men stood up and dusted themselves off.
"Now why did you have to leave an electric barrier up? I could have been killed!" yelled Seto.
"You would have ran away." Said Magician. He looked at the teeth marks in his staff. 'Great, more work. Just what I need when I'm reeducating two people… to fix my staff…' thought Magician. He looked at Seto and unexpectedly smacked him in the back of the head with his staff. "Lesson two, respect others property." Said Magician. Seto rubbed his head and gave Magician the death glare. That earned him another smack in the back of the knees. Seto fell down with his face in the ground. "Lesson three, mind our manners."
"Excuse me Monsieur, but why did you take me from Yugi?" asked Yami. * Shut up, I'm making him know Francais! (French), lets just say Yugi is taking it and Yami picked up a few words, okay? * Seto looked at him with hate.
'Suck up' thought Seto.
'I'll graduate first though, and I can get out of here.' A voice echoed in his head.
'Oh crap, he can read minds!' thought Seto.
'Well duh, I'm a spirit, being immortal isn't my only gift. Besides, I need to see what goes on inside Yugi's head to help him.' Thought Yami back.
'PAY ATTENTION!' screamed a new voice inside both of their heads. Seto grabbed his head in a major headache, and Yami snapped into a perfectly strait position.
"Stop mentally talking you two. Now, Yami, I took you from Yugi because I started to get a reading from him alerting that he was growing bad, and I knew that he had you, and seventy-five percent of the time it's the spirit that's rotting the human child." explained Magician. Yami nodded his head to show that he understood. He all the sudden heard some muffled laughs to his left. He turned around to find Seto laughing so hard his face was cherry red and his hands were over his mouth to silence himself. Then Yami realized that Magician's staff was behind Kiaba's ankles. He pulled and Seto fell on his back coughing. Magician had apparently knocked the wind out of him. Yami started giggling, and found himself on his back gasping for air. "Remember lesson three, no laughing at others expense." Said Magician.
'This is going to be one of those days…' thought Seto.
A day in which anything can happen, and possibilities soar in the wind.
