Chapter 2

Home sweet home

I floated to the soft ground slowly, smiling as my feet touched the soft velvet green grass of the plane. White figures moved around, seeming to glide along the ground. I ignored them all as they bowed to me in respect; I was concentrating on the temple in front of me and my transformation. My back burned as the mark on my back- black lines that looked like a tattoo in the shape of wings taking up all of my back- started to glow a misty cream.

Quickly and effortlessly, I pushed out my wings. They were bigger than me even when they were folded up behind me, looking just like a ravens wings, but they were the same silvery grey colour as my eyes.

My clothing glowed until it was blinding so no one noticed as they disappeared until the glow faded and revealed instead of my favourite outfit a white Egyptian cotton dress, low cut on her chest, and tight around my body to complement my thin curvy figure. The dress wasn't bad, stopping just above my knees, frilly and light so it would wave about as I moved and in the lightest of breezes.

My face was deadly serious as silver bands appeared around the tops of both of my arms and wrists. My boots disappeared completely leaving my feet bare to the cool soft grass. I held my head high as around my neck appeared a silver necklace with a thick band, in the centre was a star with many rays and in the centre of the shape was a large Moonstone in the shape of a circle.

Wrapped in X patterns up my legs were pale grey ribbons, ending just under my knees where they were tied to the side in a tight knot out to the sides. Another shiny grey ribbon was tied loosely in the centre on my hips where the dress still hugged my petit form strong but comfortably.

Just as I reached the steps, my birth mark appeared in the centre of my forehead, the same star as on my necklace, with a silvery-grey centre that glowed and glittered like a star.

My transformation was complete by the time I stepped on the first temple steps. I moved quickly and fluently, blanking out the awed stares at my graceful movements. Damn curse! I hate this! I hate being unworldly beautiful! I hate being abnormally graceful! I hate being devastatingly strong, fast and powerful! It's not me!

And yes, as you've probably guest, I have a bad temper. Had I always been this grumpy? No...Did being with the Pharaoh help? You have no idea.

I strode into the great hall of the temple with a murderous fire in my eyes. I heard the God Horus high and heavily land in his seat. They've been expecting me. Good, it will only make things quicker; I don't have to explain myself.

"What the hell is going on?" I demanded. All the Gods noticed me then, turning to look at me. I may have been the smallest in the room, and only half God, but I was not the least bit intimidated, and it satisfied me that they knew this and it annoyed the hell out of them.

Another one of my flaws, when I was angry I became hard-headed and too confident. Drives everyone in sane which I just find amusing.

"Nice to see you to Sis." Ra said from the corner.

"Shut it Ra! I can't believe that you just stood by! And after all the times I've stood up for you!" I growled, but even so, he didn't miss the hurt in my voice. He looked down in shame.

"I couldn't stop it Sis." He said as he sighed. I softened slightly.

"I didn't want you to stop it, but a little warning would have been appreciated! I know very well you didn't forget that I live as a mortal among the humans and that I intend to keep it that way." I said sternly. I knew the Gods were jealous of me because they were restricted to the realm of the Afterlife while I could come and go as I pleased. The fact that they had not told me of His return could only mean that this was a trial to test me. "You must all think I'm stupid to not see what you're doing!" Hissed, lowering my head but keeping my eyes on them.

"He needs to be there. We've foreseen trouble and the humans will need him."

"That's a load of bull and you know it! You know perfectly well that the well fare of humanity is my duty to carry out, not His! If there's trouble then I'll deal with it! But leave the Pharaoh out of it!" I exploded, shocking my fellow immortals. I couldn't blame them, for the past five thousand years I'd referred to the Great Pharaoh as Him, not baring to say his name in fear I'd break down.

"Calm down my daughter." Came a smooth, soft, patent voice. Her voice was like music and could sooth any soul. I relaxed immediately, hating it, but complying. She appeared at the top of the dais, my mother, the Creator of Light. She sat like a Queen of Egypt would have, tall and proud, radiating with power and justice.

"Mother." I bowed at the waist. If there was anyone I deeply respected, it was my mother, and no one else could match her in my eyes...though I tried to countless times. She stood up from her throne, descending the stairs slowly, with such grace it would have broken any girl's heart-yes mine included.

"I know that you are upset my dear, but you proved yourself by handling it so well. I am proud of you." She said with a small delicate smile. Her words and face warmed my heart, all I ever wanted was to please my mother, but I knew her praise was unjust.

"Handle? I ran out of that cafe as if he had the plague." I said, hanging my head in shame. My mother lifted my head with her index finger. She laughed softly.

"I half expected you to blurt out the whole story to him and his friends when you finally saw him. Even I must admit your face was quite a picture." She giggled lightly as I turned a light pink, frowning at the floor.

"I should have known you'd all be watching." I said darkly, growling when I heard sniggering coming from the group of Gods. I glared at them through narrow eyes, throwing daggers. The phase, if looks could kill, were an understatement compared to what I unleashed, and I smirked when the women flinched slightly and the men stiffened, even Amun and Isis. My mother just sighed and shook her head at our exchange.

"Seba, I have decided to let you continue with your relationship with the Pharaoh and you may tell his friends the truth, but no one else must know." She said in a harder voice. Seba was the name she gave me, meaning Star in Egyptian.

My mother had told me a long time ago that the universe was lit up by Stars, without them, the night sky would be completely black and belong to the darkness, no light would shine and the night sky would lose its beauty and wonder. That's why she had had me, to fight the darkness and keep it at bay, hold the balance and bring light when there was darkness. Seba was the name she gave me at birth, only she and the Pharaoh ever called me that, to everyone else my name was Sacmis. But in the modern world the name drew unnecessary attention, so I mostly went by the name Yuki. At my mother's worlds I completely changed.

My face and smile lit up, and I couldn't help my wings raising and spreading out. But then doubt hit me like a train. Yes, surprisingly, that did happen to me once.

"But...does he even remember me?" I knew that if he looked at me as if I was some crazy weirdo who had taken up stalking him I would die. Where thousands of others had failed, his confused and wary look would. I looked up and met my mother's gaze, forcing my voice to be steady. "And what trouble is it? Is he back for good? And how can I continue my relationship with him with me looking like this?" I demanded, growing angry. My mother sighed.

"You have a wonderful gift and you are beautiful and powerful, many humans would kill to have your power." Osiris spoke up, sounding a little harsh, but then he softened slightly. "Don't miss this opportunity to be happy." I gave him a small smile.

I hate it when they're right.

"Yes he's back for good. He has had such a big influence on so many people's lives that we decided that it was just best to let him stay. And we're not sure on the evil that is growing, besides, that's for you to handle right? You will need the Pharaohs help to I suggest that you go and see him now and get it all over with." My mother soothed. I sighed, moaning in dread, but nodded. She smiled, turned me gently and pushed lightly on the small of my back to make me move forward. "Go now, I will see you later. And as for being with the Pharaoh...well I think you'll figure something out."

I didn't turn around; I was too busy thinking to answer the good-byes from the others. As soon I was out of the hall of Gods, I was striding, at the steps I was running, and on the plane I was sprinting. The light flashed and next thing I knew I was sitting up in bed with a killer headache.

I fell back onto my pillows and moaned. I'm good at handling pain, but this ridiculous! I know they made it this painful to move between dimensions so I wouldn't use it often and also to try and keep me out, but this was a whole new level of low on their part. Could I really be that much of an arse? I sighed and sat up; I knew the answer to that. Yes, yes I could.

I got up, stripping and changing for a turtle neck top with long sleeves that covered most of my hands and black skin tight trousers. I pulled on my army style black leather boots-the ones without buckles- and pulled on a pair of black leather gloves. I released my wings-I had made a hole in the top a long time ago so when I released my wings they wouldn't rip my top to shreds- and I picked up a black painted china mask, placing onto my face and tying the black ribbon over my hair tightly. I let my hair loose. My mask covered the upper half of my face, and around the edges were silver paint in wavy patterns.

Ready. I smiled darkly. I strode out of my room, raising my hand and thrusting it forward, using my powers to open the glass door leading out to my own little terrace. I didn't notice it had gotten so dark so fast. Working early Ra? Once I was outside I flicked my wrist to close the door again. I jumped lightly, easily landing on the small railing and leaped into the night, spreading my wings and sawing into the black sky. No human would notice me; I blended into the night perfectly.

It didn't take me long to find what I was looking for. I landed around the back of a small game shop on the street corner, concealing myself in magic so no one would see me. I leaned on the wall and looked up through the window.

There was that group again, an old man, and a few more boys with them. One I recognised from the news as Seto Kiba. I was confused but not that bothered. I listened intently. The group were chatting and laughing happily, seeming to be celebrating. I let out a sharp breath when I saw the Pharaoh. He was dressed in a black sleeveless top and blue jeans with black boots. The top seemed a little too tight for him but the jeans suited him. He had his legs crossed, resting his head on his right arm which was leaning on the settee's arm. He looked thoughtful and a little...upset?

"Ya-I mean Atem, what's wrong?" His little look-alike asked worried, looking up at him from beside the pharaoh with a worried look. He looks at his as if he's his brother... "You've been acting like this since the incident in the cafe. What's troubling you?" He was speaking softly so no one else could hear them. The pharaoh sighed and shut his eyes tight. "Is it about that girl?" Yugi asked, giggling when the Pharaoh turned to him quickly with a shocked look and a hint of a blush. Aw he's so cute when he blushes. "I saw you looking at her." Yugi explained. "You looked like you wanted to run up to her and steal her." Yugi giggled again when his older-self blushed brightly.

"S-she reminds me of someone every important to me from my past life." He said softly, looking down with the thoughtful look back on. "She even had the same name..." I froze. So he remembers...good, this makes things a little easier.

I came back to reality when I heard something smash. It sounded like glass breaking and hitting the floor in thousands of shards. The sound came from the front of the shop. I jumped hard into the air to fly over the small building to the front, looking down from high up. I saw the window of the shop broken and five men dressed in black climbing through. My vision turned blurry and red. You've picked the wrong time and wrong shop to mess with. It was never good to tick me of, and these guys just did a bang up job of it.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" I heard a smooth, manly voice shout. Even though it sounded as angry as I felt, the sound reminded me of leather, so soothing and comforting. I know that voice! I flew a little closer in time to see one of the men pull out something shiny, reflecting the light of the moon and street lights on its sharp edges...

"NO!" I screamed as I flew at my top speed down, though the hole and in front of the Pharaoh as the man leaped forward. I had landed just in time. I took in a sharp breath and stumbled back a bit, eyes wide in shock and pain. I regained my balance. The man stared wide eyed at me, taking a few steps back to get a better look at me. I looked down and saw that he'd made a huge gash on my side that was dragged to the front, though it was deepest on my side so there was no cause to panic. I touched the red line now dripping rapidly and lifted my hand to look at the liquid. I looked back at the man with a dark smirk on my face. "Oh you really shouldn't have done that." I said softly. I heard the Pharaoh behind me gasp but I ignored him for now. I lifted my hand and before anyone could react, I unleashed my powers. Bright white light glowed around my hand, growing bigger and brighter until I finally unleashed it, letting it envelop the men. Their screams were cut short and the disappeared. That's what you get for crossing me you bastards.

Another thing about me, I could be quite cruel and heartless at times. Well you try living alone for five thousand years; let's see how you turn out!

"Sacmis?" A low, soft voice asked from behind me. I flinched. Oopse. Now what? Should I leg it? Wait, what's the point of that? Why and I so scared and nervous all of a sudden? Trust me, not even flinching away from a big man with a knife but he calls my name and I become weak?

I turned around slowly unit I was sideways. I looked up at him. I knew my eyes were moist and If I wasn't careful they were going to spill over. I froze as he stepped closer and lifted the mask off from my face. He stared at me wide eyed for a minute.

"S-Seba?" He asked hesitantly. I could hear the fear in his voice; it gave some comfort to know he was as scared as me.

"Hey Atem." I whispered, smiling slightly. Before I knew it I was in Atem's strong arms as he held onto me tightly. I relaxed and melted into his hug. A feeling of comfort and peace washed over me. I felt, whole, loved...I felt at home...
