Unfortunately, I don't own Yu-gi-oh. Sorry!
A little girl sat hiding in a corner between two houses. With her long black hair hanging in her face, she watched in horror as a group of bandits terrorized her village. Fire was crackling and babies were crying. Women were screaming and bandits were laughing. All the sounds filled this little girl's head, as she shook in fright of what she saw before her.
The bandits attacked the village men, plundered the houses, and set fire to anything in their path. Chaos was all around her. But she sat still, watching, waiting for her mother. She knew in her heart her mother would come. Her mother loved her and would not leave her. Her mother was alive, looking for her. This little girl knew this without a doubt.
She was proven correct when a woman gasped with relief as she found the little girl. "Aishizu, my Aishizu." The mother grabbed her daughter, Aishizu, in a tight hold. Sweat and dirt mixed with tears, as little girl's mother began to sob. The only thing Aishizu could do was hug her mother back.
"Mama, I was so scared. I was waiting for you. I didn't know what to do," cried Aishizu.
"Don't worry honey. I'm here now. I am so sorry I left you. But I had to. I had to keep you safe," said the little girl's mother soothingly.
But the mother and daughter were interrupted when a nasty snicker was heard behind them. Aishizu's mother released her daughter and looked behind her. There she saw an inhuman-looking man smirking as he held a sword in his hand.
"Ahh…, how cute? It's a mother and daughter reuniting for the very last time before they die a horrible and painful death," laughed the malicious bandit.
But before he could lift his sword, Aishizu's mother ran and knocked it out of his hand. Outraged, the bandit grabbed Aishizu's mother by the neck lifted her in the air. Her feet dangled struggling to be freed. The little girl couldn't stand to see her mother like this. It was unbearable. Before she knew it, Aishizu ran and had the sword in her hand.
Tears were streaming down Aishizu's face, but she knew what she had to do. She lunged toward the bandit with the sword in her hand. The blade pierced the man's back as he wailed in pain. Aishizu's mother dropped to the ground with a thump. The little girl ran over to her mother and looked into her ocean blue eyes. The bandit already lay dead beside her.
"Aishizu, my child," whispered the little girl's mother. There was much strain in her voice as she lay there, in her daughters lap. "I can't go on any longer in this world. It's my time to travel to the underworld, where Osiris and Isis live. Promise me you'll run from here, far, far away. My darling, you are destined for a fate much greater than village life. The goddess Isis blessed you with a gift, the gift of foresight. Use it wisely. You must leave me." Tears were streaming down her mother's face, just as her eyes filled with tears.
"Mother, you know I can't leave you. It's not your time to go. You have to say here with me," argued Aishizu. She knew she was being selfish, but just the idea without her mother was unbearable.
"Honey, you must be strong. I love you. I always will. Please, listen to me."
Aishizu nodded through her tears. Her mother smiled gently and closed her eyes. She had passed on to the underworld.
Aishizu sat there in disbelief. She didn't cry. She didn't move. She just sat there.
Finally, she got up and ran. She ran through the streets with burning houses and smoke. She ran through the dead bodies that lay there. She just kept running.
Soon, she was far from her village and was in the sandy no where of the desert. There she stopped and fell to the ground sobbing. How could the Gods be so cruel? How could they let mother leave me?
The sun went down and day turned into evening as evening turned to dark. Aishizu just lay there crying herself to sleep.
