A/N: 'Ello, all! This is an idea that I've had rolling around in my head
for awhile, but I just never got around to posting it. This is my first
try at a Yu-Gi-Oh! fic, so please be kind! Remember, constructive
criticism ONLY!! Thanks to those of you that have continued to read my fics
& enjoyed them thus far. Ya'll are the best! I hope that ya'll enjoy!!
Oh, and this story starts before the Battle City Tournament, but just after
Ishizu spoke to Kaiba about starting the tournament, just ta let ya'll
know. & if I get the names of the Egyptian gods and goddesses mixed up,
gomen nasi, minna! Co-written with ElvenQueenSelenity, so she gets just as
much credit for the plot as me, alright? Now, on with the fic!
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!, as much as I'd like to. If I did, I would be dating Seto, & Selenity would be with Yami.
Lock Us in Your Hearts ~Dreams; or Memories?~
~*~Egypt, 5,000 years ago~*~
Roars and cries of anguish filled the streets, people were falling dead where they stood, while flames engulfed the buildings. However, the screams were not heard inside one chamber of the palace, for there were sobs of grief, pain, and hatred already filling the room.
"Please, don't leave me! You just can't abandon us like this!"
"I am sorry, love; but Anubis has decided. My time has come. Please, don't forget me."
"Same goes for me, my beloved. Just promise that I shall remain in your heart forever."
"My pharaoh, how could you even suggest that I could forget you? And don't speak like that! You're going to get better; we promise that you will! You're not allowed to leave us here alone!"
The women's gowns were stained with blood as they cradled their loves' bodies in their arms. One blue-eyed man softly smiled up into shocking violet orbs.
"I promise, we shall be together again, beloved. I swear on my love for you that we shall find each other again."
"Shh, just stay silent for now. I swear, if it takes us all of eternity, we will find you both again."
With that, they kissed their loves' lips for the final time as they slipped into darkness. The two women cried and cried at their loss, for no men could - or would - replace those that they had just lost. The unearthly beauties then held their bodies and transported them to the burial chambers. They laid their lovers' bodies into the sarcophaguses as they transformed into their warrior forms, then disappeared to face the evil that was causing all of the pain and destruction throughout Egypt.
~*~ ~*~ ~*~
The women returned to the tomb, covered in scars. They de-transformed back into their other forms, and began to chant. Their bodies glowed in eerie auras, and their bodies were sucked into a little golden box in between the two sarcophaguses. The box was encrusted with many rare gemstones, and would be worth more than most people would ever imagine. Not for how it looked, but for what it contained.
And one lucky girl would be able to open it - 5,000 years later.
~*~Present Day - Domino, Japan~*~
Seto Kaiba awoke in a cold sweat, breathing heavily. 'What a nightmare,' he thought, 'was that a nightmare; or one of those so-called memories that Ishizu mentioned? No, I don't' have time to be listening to these silly Egyptian fairy tales, I have a tournament to plan!" He got out of bed and went to look out the window. 'But if that was a dream, then why do I feel pain in my back, and that gorgeous woman's tears on my face?'

Serenity Wheeler looked around the Egyptian exhibit at the museum. She double - checked the invitation that she had received in the mail.
'Miss Serenity Wheeler,
It would be to your great advantage to meet with me this Saturday at 11:30 in the Egyptian exhibit in the Domino Museum of Archeology. (A/N: I don't' know what the museum's name is, so bear with me!) Come alone, and keep an open mind as to what you will hear and receive from me. Please, for the good of the world, attend this meeting.
Ishizu Ishtar'
She glanced at her watch. '11:28. Well, I guess that I'll just hang around here until Ishizu shows up,' she thought. Serenity wandered around the exhibit, taking a particular interest in a particular jewelry display.
"Do you happen to know who those jewels belonged to, Miss Wheeler?" Serenity jumped when she heard the voice. She whirled around to find Ishizu smiling behind her. "Oh, Ishizu, you startled me. No, I'm afraid that I don't know who they belonged to, but I'm sure that you're going to tell me, aren't you?"
"Very wise, young Serenity. Please, this way," she pointed to a black curtain hanging in the back of the room.
Once both women were inside the other room, Serenity gasped. The room was filled with gorgeous clothing, jewelry, and many different objects. One particular item that caught her attention was a small golden box with many gems inlayed into it.
Ishizu motioned for Serenity to have a sit on the loveseat in the middle if the room. She poured them each some tea, then joined the curious teenager. "You see, Serenity, over 5,000 years ago in Egypt, there were two very beautiful goddesses. They were saved from a terrible fate at one point by the pharaoh and his high priest. The goddesses were brought back to the palace and taken care of.
Soon, they began to fall in love. The goddess of the forest, Selenity, fell for the pharaoh, while her sister Serenity - no relation to you, of course - fell in love with the high priest. She was the goddess of song & dance. Their feelings were returned by the same. They all became very happy for a short time.
Then, disaster struck. A great evil became jealous of the mortals and what they had gained from the goddesses. He began to trick the Shadow Creatures into believing that the mortals were their enemies. They ransacked all of Egypt, destroying everything I n their paths."
Serenity gasped at this point. "Oh, dear, that must have been horrible!" "It was," Ishizu continued. "Meanwhile, this evil, named Malik, snuck into the chamber that the high priest & pharaoh happened to be in, and stabbed them." Serenity's eyes filled with tears.
"When the goddesses felt that something was wrong, they transported themselves to where their lovers were, and saw them lying on the floor, bleeding heavily. They cried and made a vow to avenge them before they died.
The goddesses then set out to destroy Malik, but they weren't strong enough. All that they managed to do was seal him away inside of the Millennium Rod, hoping that he would never return.
They then transported themselves to the burial chamber that they had laid their fallen loves and sealed themselves away inside of a little golden box to await for the day that their loves would be reborn, or Malik returned to destroy the world."
Silent tears of grief trailed down Serenity's cheek. "Ishizu, why did you tell me this? I don't understand what that's supposed to mean."
Ishizu stood and picked up the golden box that Serenity had been eying earlier. "Serenity, this is the very box that they sealed themselves away in. I have asked you hear, because only one of *true* innocence and serenity may open this. That is the prophecy, and I know that it is you. I am asking you as a friend to please take care of the goddesses that reside inside of this box; will you please help me?"
Serenity stared wide-eyed at the box, debating whether or not to accept the offer. Finally, she knew what she had to do. She stood up and held Ishizu's gaze with her own determined one.
"I'll do it. If the world depends on this, then I might as well make some new friends along the way, right?" Then she took the box, and it glowed.
A/N: Well, I hope that ya'll enjoyed this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it! Remember, more reviews, the faster I'll update! Constructive criticism is ALL THAT I ACCEPT!! NO FLAMES! If you have comments that you think could make this story better in future chapters, or additional ideas that I could add to the plot, then gimme your best shot! *stands ready to catch ideas & food that'll probably be chucked at her* Ja for now, minna!
