Key of the Heart

Chapter 1

A Stray Child

*~*~*

I gently touched her face, knowing that she felt the same for me. She looked at me with her chocolate brown eyes, and I gently ran a finger over her lips. They were very soft, like a roses petals. She lightly kissed the tip of my index finger and smiled.

"I love you, Malik." she whispered, then wrapped her arms around me in an embrace I wish would last forever... I'm sure by now you're pretty lost on what's going on, right? Well, maybe this will clear a few things up... My name's Malik Ishtar, most known for being a phycopath wanting to take over the world. I did, till she entered my life. "Who's she?" you might be asking... She is Rockestra Nefertiti, or Rocky as she wants to be called, a beautiful Egyptian that I've been head over heels for since we met. I guess to clear everything up, I should start from the beginning, when we first met in Egypt as kids.

***

Today was the day my sister actually took me above the surface to look around. It was a beautiful, not to mention hot day, where I lived. I had lagged behind Isis a bit, and that's when I met her. She had run into me, both of us falling on our butts.

"Ouch!" we both yelled. If you had hit your head then the ground, you'd say it too. I got up first, brushed myself off, and held a hand out to help her.

"Sorry about that." I said, she looked at me, then I knew I had fallen in love. She looked at my hand, looked back at me, then took my hand. I helped her up and she brushed her clothes off.

"It was my fault, I wasn't looking where I was going." she said, I smiled.

"Then it was both of our faults, I wasn't paying attention either." I said, she laughed and touched her right cheek, which she had hit on the ground.

"Ouch... I think I hurt my face on the ground." she said, I took her hand off her face and kissed her sore cheek, making her blush.

"There, that should make it better!" I said, she nodded.

"It feels great now! Thank you." she said, Isis turned around inthe crowd and looked at me and her.

"Malik, come on." she said, I nodded and smiled at her.

"Gotta go... Bye!" I said, running off.

"Goodbye...." she said, I didn't hear the rest of her sentence, the crowd drowned it out. Who would of thought, she would become obsessed with finding me after that. It was quite funny, because I wanted to find her.

***

Oh Ra, only if I had known she would become so lovely.... I'm getting off topic... Anyways... Next time we met, it would be during Battle City. It was, yet again, a beautiful day. I had just arrived at Battle City, and was in the park walking around. Till I heard a sweet, sweet voice singing a beautiful song.

~Come with me in the twilight of a summer night for awhile

Tell me of a story never ever told in the past~

I was captivated, and followed the voice, entranced.

~Take me back to the land

Where my yearnings were born

The key to open the door is in your hand

Now fly me there~

I found her sitting on a bench, with her eyes fixed on the clear skies above.

~Fanatics find their heaven in never ending storming wind

Auguries of destruction be a lullaby for rebirth

Consolations, be there

In my dreamland to come

The key to open the door is in your hand

Now take me there~

I was caught by one lyric.... 'Auguries of destruction be a lullaby for rebirth.' I thought, over and over in my mind. 'Is it a message?'

~I believe in fantasies invisible to me

In the land of misery I'm searchin' for the sign

To the door of mystery and dignity

I'm wandering down, and searchin' down the secret sun~

I was frozen in time, it was like it was only me and her in the park. I listening to her singing, and she singing her beautiful song.

~Come with me in the twilight of a summer night for awhile

Tell me of a story never ever told in the past

Take me back to the land

Where my yearnings were born

The key to open the door is in your hand

Now take me there to the land of twilight~

I smiled, for once in a while, and walked up, clapping. She snapped out of her daydream, I'm guessing she didn't know she was singing, and smiled.

"Thank you." she said, her voice now smooth and velvety. She scooted over on the bench, making room for me to have a seat. I took the offer and sat next to her, catching a glance of the golden rod in her lap, her slender hands holding onto it. The rod looked exactly like my Millenium Rod, which I thought she may have stollen it, but felt the metallic object on my side, where I put it. "Lovely weather, isn't it?" she asked, trying to start a small chat, I nodded.

"Yes, it is." I answered, she looked at me and held her hand out.

"By the way, my name's Rockestra Nefertiti, or Rocky if you want." she said, I shook her hand.

"Malik Ishtar. Are you related to Queen Nefertiti in some way?" I asked, wondering why she had the last name Nefertiti.

"No, but I am a decendant of Cleopatra. This is her headband I wear, it was given to me by my grandmother when I was a child. She would call me Princess Rockestra Cleopatra Nefertiti of the Nile River to make me feel like a princess." she explained, I nodded. Rocky leaned forward, looking me in the eyes.

"What are you doing?" I asked hesitantly, she cocked her head to the side like a lost puppy.

"You seem familiar from my homeland. Like I've met you before." she answered, I raised an eyebrow.

"Where are you from?" she smiled.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm from Egypt!" she chirpped, I noticed she smelled like excotic spices, must of been her perfume.

"Yes, I see. So am I..." I said, Rocky smiled sweetly, like a child lost in a candy store. She leaned back and looked up.

"Now I know... You're the boy I met on the streets as a child. I remember, you gave me a kiss on the cheek to make it feel better." It struck me, she was the girl I wanted to have by my side when I took over the world. She looked at the rod, and smiled, seeing the one on my side.

"Oh yes. I remember." I said, then noticed she was eyeing the Millenium Rod. I took it out and looked at it.

"Strange, seems we both have a similar Millenium Item," she said, I nodded, "This one's the Millenium Staff. It can control peoples minds, and of couse send people to the shadow realm. What's yours?"

"The Millenium Rod. It can controls people's minds as well." I stated, she smiled and leaned against me and started singing softly.

~Shine bright morning light

Now in the air the spring is coming

Sweet blowing wind

Singing down the hills and valleys

Keep your eyes on me

Now we're on the edge of hell

Dear my love, sweet morning light

Wait for me, you've gone much farther, too far~

I looked at her, she kept singing the same lyrics, two more times. I still don't know what made me do what I did, but.. I started to stroke her hair gently, I had never been so happy since I swore revenge on Yami. She smiled and started again, this time, it was like she was telling me something.

~if you are lost in your way

deep in an awesome story

don't be in doubt and stray

cling to your lonesome folly

now you're too close to the pain

let all the rain go further

come back and kiss me in vain

mother oh do not bother~

I understood the song. I had felt lost when we parted as children on the street, but now that she was her with me, I felt whole again. She had tooken a piece of me when she left, and I guess I took a piece of her too.

~hear the chorus of pain

taking you back to proper ways

it's so easy to find

if you could remind me

now you are lost in your way

deep in an awesome story

so I will find you again

kiss you for lonesome folly~

She stopped at looked up at me. Her chocolate brown eyes still shimered with the kindness, sincerity, happiness, and innosence they had back when we first met. I smiled, only she would see my true smiles from now on. I finally found the missing piece of my heart she had took, and filled the empty void finally. She was mine... No longer a princess, but a queen. My Queen Rockestra Cleopatra Nefertiti of the Nile River, the most beautiful thing I ever layed eyes, and ever shall lay eyes on.
