The Pharaoh's Summoner

By: Black Shadow Fox Shaman

A/N: This is dictated to Black Water Mirage my awesome Rp buddy. It took me forever to get this typed but yeah here it is. I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh sadly enough. But I hope ya'll enjoy this. Especially you Black Water.

Akita was moving through a dusty hallway in an old tomb. There were cobwebs and rats all over the place. Looking around she was trying to see every picture that was drawn on the walls. Her hieroglyph reading skills were a bit rusty and she could barely make out what the walls were saying. Marik was moving soundlessly in front of her as they moved down the hallway.

"Marik where are you taking me?"

"There is something you need to see Akita."

"Couldn't this wait till tomorrow I have a test to study for."

"It won't take long Akita. It's just that I thought that you needed to see this."

"Why?"

"Because."

The blonde didn't say anything more than the occasional mumble of 'where is it'. He turned a corner into a small anti chamber.

"Marik don't you think your dad's going to be pissed for bringing me down here?"

"He won't know about it. This is my part of the tombs to guard."

He felt along the wall and pushed a small slab of rock in and a door started grating as it shifted. Marik smiled in triumph as he entered the small room. In the middle of the room was a big sarcophagus. She decided that it held at least two people or the person inside was very big. Marik carefully removed the lid with ease. Akita held back the urge to gag at the scent that was thrown in the air. Looking over the edge she had been correct in her assumption. There were two people in the grave. One was bigger than the other.

"Who are they Marik?"

"His name was Atem and he was a Pharaoh in Egypt at one time."

"And the other one?"

"She is Akita, you."

"Me?" she squeaked loudly. "Stop messing with me Marik."

"I'm not. I read the walls Akita. The two of them loved each other very much but she was nothing more than a slave, and he the pharaoh."

"Just because our names…"

"It's more than the names Akita. She once bore the mark of Ra just like you do."

"That mark was branded on my skin Marik it's not the same."

"It doesn't matter how the mark got there Akita. You were destined to reawaken and help the Pharaoh again."

"Pharaohs don't exist anymore Marik!"

Marik reached into the tomb and started to tear at the bindings across the woman's chest. Until a gold necklace came into view. He removed the chain and held it out to her. Akita shook her head backing away refusing to take the necklace. He grabbed her hand and place it in her hands. She looked into his eyes frightened. A surge of energy raced through her making her crumbled to her knees holding the charm. Marik let go and stared down at her.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-**

Akita was forced to her knees by the Egyptian guards surrounding her. They forced her head down so she couldn't look around. Sandaled feet came into her line of sight. She was determined not to let this new master rattle her.

"Let go of her," she heard a stern voice command of the guards. "What has she done to warrant this rough treatment?"

"She is a summoner and slave, my lord."

Akita clenched her hand wanting to beat the shit out of these guards. It was true what she was but they acted as if she carried a disease that needed to be gotten rid of as soon as humanly possible. "The Elders wished to present her as a body guard."

"And if I refuse to accept her as such?" the Pharaoh asked.

What she hated more than anything is when people spoke of her acting as if she wasn't there. It took everything within her control limit not to lash out violently at these people. She wouldn't suffer another man's cruelties again, she'd rather die first.

"The Elders want her disposed of."

She stared defiantly up at the man that was about to decide her fate.

"I'll take her then."

The guards stepped back letting Akita up. Akita looked up at the man that now owned her. She wanted to snort in amusement. He didn't look like he could hurt a fly, but she knew that appearances could easily be deceiving. Her mind told her to reserve judgment on this man. Closing her eyes she realized her mark wasn't acting up. That floored her for a moment but she didn't let it affect her long. Her natural distrust of people especially men made itself known.

"Follow me," she heard the Pharaoh say softly.

He lead her down the hall. Akita kept her head down. She didn't need to attract the attention to herself. They walked down the hall in silence and stopped before a door, and he opened it for her. He gestured for her to go first. Akita nervously walked into the room. The Pharaoh shut the door behind them. She looked around taking in everything around her.

"I apologize for the actions of my guards."

She turned to stare at him in confusion. This was the first time someone apologized to her for anything that was done to her. "We didn't get off on the right foot my name is Atem."

"Akita."

"Well Akita welcome. This will be your room for awhile until the adjoining room beside mine can be finished."

The summoner wondered when his true dark side would come through, she knew all too well that men and women could seem pleasant on the outside but have dark personalities on the inside. She didn't want to give herself the hope that there were a few good people out there. Of course she had to remember the three friends that she had from Rome. They'd save her from a cruel fate by her last master's hand. Bad luck seemed to follow her around like a lost puppy and she was entirely sick of it. The did it click what he'd said.

"For awhile?"

"You're new job is being my bodyguard so the servants are fixing up the adjoining room next to mine for you. You know just incase something happens where you're needed."

Akita rolled her eyes.

"I don't need to be near you to protect you."

The look of confusion that passed over his face irritated her like nothing else. "I'm a summoner so I can have a loyalty card protect you when you're asleep so you don't have to explain to anyone why a slave is sleeping in your room."

"You're my bodyguard…"

"And a female slave and before this place I was a sex slave and nothing more."

She saw what looked like a look of disgust cross his features. He shook his head before looking at her again.

"What's a loyalty card exactly?"

"It's a card I've bonded with so that it doesn't cost me near as much energy as a card that isn't to summon. In total I have four loyalty cards. My most powerful and most loyal of the four is Silverfang , Little Chimera, Fire Winged Pegasus, and Celtic Guardian."

He looked as if he was thinking on what she'd said. Akita waited to hear what he'd have next to ask her about.

"Can you summon other monsters from the shadow realm without the use of a millennium item?"

"Obviously I don't need an item to summon monsters. However, any card that isn't my loyalty cards they tax my energy a lot."

Honestly, she hated talking about her summoning abilities. They were what set her apart from the rest of the world, and people judged her for it. When she explained about her abilities to summon the normal people would assume that she was weak by all means, but in the summoner realm to have more than two loyalty cards was a powerful summoner. Akita had many cards at her beck and call but not all of them were easy to summon and control. The monsters she'd won from secret summoner duels while her masters weren't looking were the hardest to control. Only one monster was the acceptation to that rule of thumb about won cards, and that was her Fire Winged Pegasus. The winged blue stallion move his way up in the ranks to her loyalty card bracket. She was grateful to him for allowing her to bond with him. Sometimes when her masters were asleep she and the stallion would go out flying under the moonlit sky. Shaking her head she returned her attention to her new master. The summoner was take aback by the smile that graced his face.

"I hope you like it here Akita."

He bowed before leaving her to her own devises. Looking around cautiously began to explore her new room. For some reason her normally wary nature relaxed allowing her a small sense of peace. A statue of Ra sat in the room beside the window allowing the sun to bare its rays on the white and gold statue. Moving closer she reached up and began to trace every line and curve with her fingers. The stone was warm from the light beating down on it for most of the day.

"Hello!" a voice said from behind her.

A yelp escaped Akita causing her to knock the statue of Ra over. Thankfully her reflexes allowed her to catch the statue before it could hit the ground at the last moment. Turning she saw a girl standing there. Akita looked around cautiously before placing Ra back on his stand.

"Nice catch."

Akita looked at the strange girl in confusion. "My name is Nefer. My brother sent me here to help you with anything you need."

The girl took a step forward causing Akita to take a step back. "Atem was right you seem skittish."

"I'm not skittish," she protested heatedly. "I'm just cautious."

"My brother tells me you're going to be his new bodyguard."

The older girl nodded hesitantly.

"I probably shouldn't be saying this but I have a feeling you'll be good for my brother."

"I'm not good for anyone's health."

"Anyway I'm here to show you around."

Akita looked away and then around her new room. She'd rather sleep because she'd been denied a lot of sleep for the past three days. "Of course, if you'd like, you can get a bath then rest if you want. It looks like you've seen hell."

"Pretty close to it. I haven't gotten more than a few hours of sleep in the past three days."

"Well let's get you into a nice bath and then you can rest. You'll need to be on your toes in three days."

"Why's that?"

"We're hosting a ball in honor of the Roman dignitaries coming."

"Great just what I need more Romans," she groused softly.

Nefer chuckled softly. Akita wondered how she could be so happy when the world was so cruel.

"Come on Akita bath now grousing later."

The young princess pushed Akita out of the door towards the river. Akita was hesitant to bare her body to another person willingly. Not only was her body covered in scars, but she also bore a birthmark in the shape of the Eye of Ra.

"You're not shy are you?" Nefer teased.

Akita glared at the princess.

"I'm not shy. It's only that I bare the marks of my brutal life, and I don't show them to anyone willingly."

"Brutal life?" she asked.

"You honestly think that they'd treat a sex slave gently as they raped me?"

"Sex Slave?" Nefer asked in confusion. "I thought you were a bodyguard."

"Only here will I ever bare that title I assure you."

Akita moved towards the water and shed her shirt and skirt. Nefer gasped as she saw what Akita had been talking about. White scars crisscrossed across her back. Nefer had a feeling they were lash marks. What caught her eyes was the Eye of Ra situated on her right shoulder tell the world that Ra chose her. Her long dark hair swished over the mark to cover it.

"You bare the mark of the sun god Ra."

"Obviously," she stared darkly. "My Roman Masters hated the fact I bore the mark of an Egyptian god were my Egyptian masters thought it was blasphemy. Considering a half-Roman child bore the mark of their god."

Akita slipped into the water letting the grime wash away from her battered body.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*--*-*--*-*-*-*-*

Akita came from her vision gasping for air. Her entire body was shaking. Looking around wildly trying to figure out where she was. Marik was looking at her knowingly. Her eyes drifted to the necklace in her hands. It was a gold necklace and the charm on it was the Eye of Ra somewhere deep in the recesses of her mind she recognized the item in her hands. Her eyes stung.

"Akita?" he asked in confusion.

Before she could say anything to her friend she was thrusted into another vision.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Akita lay on a blanket splayed out underneath a grove of palm trees near the river. Atem lay beside her. Her head was resting on his shoulder. They were staring up at the stars. The full moon bathed the couple in its ethereal light. Akita snuggled closer to him. Their hands were clasped over her abdomen.

"You're quiet tonight," he murmured softly against her neck.

She looked up at him and smiled.

"Just thinking."

"About?" he prompted softly.

"About a lot of things really, mostly about how much I love you."

He nuzzled her shoulder gently.

"I love you too."

Akita shifted so that she was laying on top of her lover and master. His arms wrapped around her waist. She leaned down and kissed his lips softly. Pulling back from the kiss she stared down into his amethyst eyes. Silently Akita hoped that that the child they may have one day would bare his eyes instead of hers. Their child deserved better than the life to come, but there was no choice in the end. The pain in this life would pave the way to their next lives. Akita was taken from her thoughts when one of his hands snaked up under her shirt and caressed her breast. A soft hiss escaped her at his gentle touches. Where their clothed hips touched she could feel his arousal press against her. Before either of them could think about sating their sexual tension that had built up after the past few stressful days, they heard someone shouting their names. Both groaned in annoyance. Akita moved off of him and curled up at his side. Atem's hands moved from underneath her shirt. They didn't know if the person shouting their name knew of their secret relationship. Priest Seto came into view. He looked worried.

"Atem, thank Ra I found you."

"What is it Seto?"

"There is a messenger here Rome. He said that Calandra sent him."

"Did you read the message?"

"No, the messenger insisted that you came and read it yourself."

Atem nodded his head and rose. Akita followed him. They made it back in a short time. The Pharaoh went to greet the messenger from his ally. The messenger bowed as he handed the message to Atem to read. He scanned the document and looked at the messenger.

"How could this happen?"

"Lady Calandra is looking into it my Lord."

"Very well you're dismissed."

The messenger nodded his head before leaving Atem to his thoughts.

"Akita," he looked at his lover worriedly.

"What is it Atem?"

"Dominic has escaped."

A soft curse escaped Aktia's mouth at the new information. She knew things were going to come were going to harsh and dangerous from here on out.

"Akita are you all right?"

She looked at her lover and nodded her head.

"I'm going to bed," she said softly.

"I'll be there in a little bit I need to talk with Seto about something."

Akita nodded her head in understanding before heading towards his room. They shared a bed now behind the backs of all his court and all the elders combined. Once she reached their room she went out onto the balcony and stared out over the Nile. Her thoughts were so chaotic that she didn't hear the footsteps behind her. Dark clad arms wrapped around her waist and a hand clamped down over her mouth.

"Easy Kit it's just me," a soft voice said from behind her.

She relaxed into the dark clad man's arms.

"So it's time?"

He nodded his head. The man let her go and went to a few pots and over turned them and a few of the potted plants as well. Akita flinched at the damage. He returned to her side and lead her to where his horse was standing. Her friend held out his hand to her after he mouthed his horse. She took it and hauled herself up onto the stallion's back. The two of them raced off into the night. Her eyes shed tears as she moved farther and farther away from the man she loved.

"It's okay to cry your tears Akita. This will only be a temporary separation."

She nodded her head as she buried her nose in-between his shoulder blades and cried.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-**-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Akita came from the last vision gasping for breath as she collapsed sideways. Marik was standing over her.

"Do you remember your mission now?" he asked softly.

She looked up at him thinking over what he'd just said and realized that he was talking in a very old dialect that hasn't been heard since the days of the Pharaoh himself.

"I remember," she replied in turn.

He smiled down at her and held out his hand for her to take. She took it and rose. Looking around she looked at the markings on the wall knowing what they meant now. Tears gathered in her eyes as she moved towards the other side of the sarcophagus where her beloved lay. Doing what Marik did, she uncovered a similar necklace to what she had in her hand. The chain was thicker and so was the Eye of Ra charm. Putting hers around her neck she stuffed his into the pocket of her backpack.

"We should be heading back Marik," she said softly to the tomb keeper.

He nodded in agreement as they headed back the way they came. Marik made sure to put the door back in place so that no one could disturb the Pharaoh and his lady's tomb.

"What are you going to do now Akita?" Marik asked.

She turned her dark gaze to him making him flinch.

"I'm going to find him and help him as I was destined."

"Akita you're not a summoner…"

"That's what you think."

Akita walked down the dark hallway with a determined stride that would lead her into the future along side her Pharaoh.
