The Struggle
The Afterlife
Well needless to say the afterlife was everything you've heard about. Peaceful, quiet, tranquil rivers and streams that were a beauty to the eye, beautiful graceful dead people singing and all that jazz…or at least it should be.
"DAMN YOU PHAROAH!" Bakuras voice echoed through all the heavenly halls of judgment, to the pits of Hell
And surprisingly enough his voice ricocheted through all the clouds that wavered by making his voice heard for ions onward
In the great hall the Master rested his head on his hand
"Again with those three, can't something be done about the children?" Master
Since those three arrived they were granted passage to Heaven. Though one should be happy for the blessing of passage to them, they just couldn't get with the program.
Now the glorious Head Angel handsome yet strict and firm, narrowed his eyes attempted to massage his fifth migraine that day
How did he get it you ask?
…Well….Earlier that Day…
All was fine in the afterlife
For it was a new day the light rose high among the clouds and a soft hush spread over the land. This place was of the very definition of peace and happiness itself.
The Head Angel had long light brown hair that went past his waist and large gold wings that proved his station he went over to the "New Arrival" gate with three other Angels to greet the "Dearly Departed".
Yami arrived last he was dressed in his Pharaoh Garments and walked through the gates.
(So this is it? I'm never going to be allowed back to the mortal realm. Forever to be in another prison for all eternity?) Yami thought to himself
"I don't think anyone has ever called this paradise a prison before" Head Angel
"Uh…Forgive me please I…" Yami shocked and embarrassed
"Don't worry death has a habit of shock and uncertainty to all "New Arrivals" it will just take some getting used to" Head Angel "Close the gates"
"Yes" Fellow Angels
Yami watched the gates begin to close and began to be filled with dread
Knowing Yami needed time to adjust the Head Angel began to show Yami the way to his room
Still there were some screams and two souls barely made it in before the door shut
Marik arrived with Bakura and the three were reunited.
"This is all your fault" Marik and Bakura squaring off on the Pharaoh
"…" Head Angel
"How dare you pinpoint, whatever it is your talking about, on me" Yami narrowed his eyes in a disapproving matter
"…" Head Angel looking at his list and yes they were on the list as well
"Well either way, did you have to get banished by loosing the duel to your Hikari, because of that WE are banished as well…." Bakura hollering at Yami
"When you crossed over, wherever we were, we did as well, now we're stuck here" Marik
"…?" Head Angel (This is Paradise…Do they want to go to Hell?)
"I don't know where we are but I have never been here, what am I going to do here? I haven't been here for more than ten minutes and I already know the answer to that question…I AM GOING TO GO CRAZY HERE!" Marik throwing hands in the air
"Yugi won that Duel fair and square" Yami said firmly
"That's part of the problem" Bakura calling forth his millennium item ready to use his powers
Marik made his rod appear
They both glared at Yami and Yami narrowed his eyes
Yami called forth his puzzle
The Head Angel hit them all in the back of their heads with his large Gold Wings knocking them all out
"Welcome to Heaven" Head Angel said smiling politely looking at the knocked out bodies on the floor
"Now that's the first time we had to do that" Angel
…..
Later
…..
They all awoke in the same room
"…" Yami opened his eyes
"Where are we" Bakura rubbing his head
"In Hell I guess" Marik "At least I think it is, I always pictured it like this"
"Prefer the Shadow realm myself; least I always know what to do" Bakura said sitting up
"So WHAT are never to see our Hikaris again?" Marik "Who'll protect them?"
"!" Yamis' eyes widened
"They attract enough danger all by themselves, without us" Bakura said truthfully
"!" Yami (That's true, even though I was always there Yugi was still in danger even without me, will he get into trouble?…will he get hurt?)
"Don't worry, we will see them when they die I guess" Marik said sarcastically but in a "I give up tone"
"…DIE!" Yami stood up
Just the vary thought of Yugi Dieing made him pissed
(NO, YUGI DIE! NEVER) Yami becoming outraged
(The kid doesn't deserve that) Bakura talking about his hikari
(…Well…We all have to go sometime, still the kids too young for that) Marik talking of his hikari and Hikaris' in general
"Don't they have records of all the dates somewhere, perhaps we can prevent that" Yami
"I know, the palace always kept records in a large library" Bakura said all informative
……
So the Yamis tried and failed, so they tried again and….failed
……And to the Present…….
"DAMN YOU PHAROAH!" Bakuras voice echoed through all the heavenly halls of judgment, to the pits of Hell
In the great hall the Master rested his head on his glorious hand
"Again with those three, can't something be done about the children?" Master
"They are trying to break into the hall of records" Head Angel
"Attempting this again are they?" Master
"It would seem that they are trying to find out the DOD of their Hikaris" Head Angel +-Date of Death-+
"Hmm, this is their 200th attempt is it not?" Master almost amused
"450TH" Head Angel corrected
"That many is it?" Master
"Are we to allow such treachery?" Head Angel began to get mad
"Their Punishment is something more severe, we will give them what they want…." Master
"And what is that?" Head Angel
"To go back to their Hikaris" Master
"….They are to be rewarded for such treason?" Head Angel confused but willing to take any orders given
"….Would you call it reward?..." Master
+And At this Time+
Bakura had convinced them again to try again, and for some reason they all agreed
The great Hall of Records was located near the Stream of Contentment glorious to all who beheld the sight
This was the furthest they had come yet…as they neared the library something shiny caught Bakuras sight.
A Golden Cup
Bakura took out his flask and filled it up
"I want to return to my Hikari, I don't want a drink" Yami said disapproving
"We all do" Bakura and Marik together
"Still I want a drink so hurry up and drink so I can have my drink and go sneak in for the files" Bakura said
Yami took a drink
As did the others and they continued to enter to the main hall
As they did something churned in their Stomach they felt a tug downward and a hush came over them.
They felt a pull downward and then it all went black
…..
…..
It had been years since the last challenge between Yugi and Yami and now Yugi was in college.
Yugi had been in college for a few years, and even though it had been years he still missed his Yami
Still a lot had changed since then
The only ones left around were the hikaris
Tea left to study overseas in France, Joey and Tristan went to a Sports College and though everyone always says they will keep in touch they hardly ever wrote or called.
Yugi was studying buisness to prepare him for taking over the store
Malik was studying religious affairs, trying to decide if he wanted to go back to Egypt or not
As for Ryou, well he didn't know what he wanted to do so it was a toss up between becoming a Vet or a Doctor.
Either way all three of them always hung out. The three of them knew what they were going through, so they were close in ways no one else could understand.
In fact today they were having a sleepover for tonight was their Movie Night.
Grandpa left earlier that day for Egypt. They had a new discovery and called him to check it out. So he flew out earlier in the day.
Yugi finished his shower and was entering his room.
Malik was on his futon relaxing reading a manga, and Ryou was on his futon working on his laptop.
Yugi noticed the clock and saw that it was 11:30p and said he was going to sack out. So they all decided to call it a night.
Suddenly they all felt a cool sensation and the three of them woke up at the same time.
Yugi looked up at the clock and noticed it was five in the morning.
"I don't wanna wake up" Ryou said turned over, and stretched
"What's happening" Malik raised and propped up
"Nothing I just woke up its only five so lets go back to sleep" Yugi sitting up
Suddenly the three looked at each other and freaked
"We're women!!" Hikaris screeched
