Resurrection

Chapter 2

"Layla, open the gate, you are the key" the same hypnotic voice spoke, drawing her into the darkness, surrounding her, choking away all the light with in her mind as a pair of bright deep red eyes came towards her, burning with fire and hate, so intense and focused that she couldn't pull herself away from them even thou her mind was screaming with fear.

"I am the lord of the dead, you will fall before me, Layla, become the key"

Snapping her eyes wide open, Alex sat up quickly with in the covers of her bed, her head dizzy and her breathing rapped, gasping for air as thou a heavy weight had just been lifted from her chest, allowing her to take in the oxygen she needed to live. The dark voice slowly faded into nothing more then a whisper, her head throbbing as she gently rubbed the sides of her temples, trying to relive the pain.

"what's happening to me?" she whispered, looking over at the woman with in the photo frame upon her bedside table, hoping she would answer her but all she did was smile brightly. Letting out a small sigh, Alex climbed out of bed and slowly made her way towards the bathroom, hoping to wash away the strong sensation of uneasy she was feeling with in the pit of her stomach.

The Pharaoh stood, eyes wide, his bare chest stained with thick ruby red blood as he looked down at the lifeless body with in his arms, her once ebony black hair was now matted and dripping small pools of crimson onto the stone floor, her piercing blue eyes, nothing more then soulless glazed orbs as a single tear rolled down the Pharaoh's cheek, pulling her cold body closer towards him. His eyes quickly turned cold as he snapped his gaze up towards the darkness as a low rumbling laugh echoed all around him.

"yami, you awake, we're going to be late, again" Yugi chuckled, poking the lump hidden under the quilt, earning him a low growl from the person underneath. Rolling his eyes, Yugi sighed, leaving the room as Yami flung the covers off himself, giving a small shiver as the cool air hit his bare chest. Flinging his legs off the bed as another low growl escaped his lips, putting his head in his hands, closing his eyes, frustration and annoyance filling up with in him as he tried to remember who this girl was that haunted his dreams.

He had all his memories of his days as Pharaoh but it was like a grey mist clouded his mind when ever he tried to think about who this girl was, were these dreams trying to tell him something or was it just to confuse him, or maybe a sign of things to come.

Sighing out loud to himself, Yami opened his eyes, getting off the bed as he headed towards the bathroom, hoping to clear his already confused mind.

Alex stood in front of her floor length mirror, looking up and down at herself in her Domino High uniform. ~ guess this will have to do ~ she thought, pinning her long black hair up into a messy bun with two dark red chop sticks before heading out of the room, pulling her thick black wrist bands as she left. Sitting down on the last step of the stairs, pulling on her knee length socks and shoes, glad that tomorrow was a weekend.

"dad, I'm going to school now" she yelled but got no reply.

Letting out a small low moan, Alex stood up and made her way into the living room, taking a quick look around before she noticed a small sheet of paper pinned to the connecting door to his study. Rolling her eyes, Alex pulled the note off the door, scanning over it.

- went to work early, be back tonight, order pizza, love dad -

Sighing, Alex screwed up the paper, throwing it into the waste bin, flinging her backpack over her shoulder before headed out the front door.

A cold but strong wind blew passed Alex, making her shiver from head to toe, this was why she hated skirts, her legs were freezing even thou the sun was shinning brightly in the clear blue sky. Letting out a low growl as she crossed her arms over her chest in a attempt to keep warm, quickening her pace to get her blood pumping, coming up towards the game shop on the corner of the street, noticing the same group of friends as they left the building, the same brown haired girl from the other day clinging to the arm of the taller twin for dear life. His face full of annoyance, which made Alex chuckle to herself, unaware that it was a little to loud as crimson eyes met with her blues ones.

Turning her head away quickly, lightly blushing, ~ dumb ass ~ mentally kicking herself as she made it to the school just as the bell rang out.

The halls were full of students, rushing around like headless chickens as Alex entered the class room, taking her seat as the remaining students piled in, waiting for the teacher to arrive.

Letting out a silent sigh, Alex pulled her books out of her bag as a short, well rounded girl with short blond hair and thick round glasses walked up to her, stopping in front of her desk. Rolling her eyes, Alex looked up, tilting her head slightly to the side as the girl handed her a small folded piece of paper.

Puzzled, Alex unfolded the paper, reading the note written in side. - back off Yugi, he's mine - was all it said as the blond haired girl leaned forward.

"it's from Tea" nodding her head towards a short brown haired girl sat in front of the taller dopple ganger, the same girl that had clung to him on their way to school, staring down at her with cold eyes.

~ must be his girlfriend ~ she thought, rolling her eyes once again, pulling a pen out from her bag. - I'm not after anyone, just here to learn, maybe you should give your hormones a break - folding the paper in half before handing it back to the blond girl as she quickly made her way to Tea, handing her the note before taking her own seat. Alex watched Tea's eyes scan what she had written, her face becoming flushed with colour, snapping her gaze back to Alex, opening her mouth to say something as the slightly rounded teacher walked in, standing in front of her large desk.

"morning class, today we will be…" she trailed off, looking in Alex's direction.

"miss Brooks, could you please remove the wrist bands, I let it slide yesterday as it was your first day but they are not part of the dress code" she said in a matter of fact tone.

The whole room turned their attention to Alex as she swallowed hard, looking down at her wrists. She didn't want to, the questions that she knew people would ask, just like back at her old school, becoming known only as the girl who tried to take her life. That wasn't the reason for her scars but she couldn't let them know, she didn't want the pity and to be honest, she didn't want people to see her scars, to know her past.

"miss Brooks, I'm waiting" she flatly stated, tapping her fingers upon the desk. Alex looked back up at the woman, glaring at her with all her fury, she knew all to well that she would get into trouble but she didn't care.

"no"

"miss Brooks, I shall ask you one more time or you will be asked to leave"

"why doesn't she just take them off" Yugi whispered to Yami, only getting a shrug as they both continued to watch. Alex let out a small growl as she got up from her seat, pulling her backpack over her right shoulder before picking up her books and walking over to the door, hearing the whispers and giggles of the other students as she left the room, slamming the door shut behind her.

Taking a deep breath, Alex made her way towards the lockers, pushing her backpack and books in side as she pulled out her small note book, slamming the locker door shut before heading outside. If she wasn't going to be in the class then she might as well do some drawing while catching some sun, even thou it was still freezing out there.

Sighing loudly, Alex turned the corner towards the main doors, only to stop as the towering figure of Seto Kaiba stood, arms folded, in front of her, a large smug smirk upon his face thou his eyes remained cold and emotionless. Rolling her eyes, Alex let a low growl escape her lips, she really wasn't in the mood for any of his shit today.

"what you doing out here?"

"what's it to you?" Alex snapped, walking past Kaiba only to have him grab onto her upper right arm.

"don't you have anything better to do?" Alex hissed, pulling her arm free from Kaiba's grip as he only smirked at her, leaning forward towards her.

"I'm going to really enjoy fucking with you" he whispered, his every word laced with something that Alex couldn't put her finger on.

"oh I can't wait" she sarcastically snapped, walking out of the school doors into the cool air.

The cold breeze blew around the in side of a large run down warehouse, the hanging chains from the buildings support beams swayed from side to side as two teenage boys walked slowly in side, stopping in the middle of the room.

"have you found her?" a dark male voice whispered, his words seemed to float along the breeze around them.

"she's at Domino High, but we still don't know what she looks like" the white haired teen explained, his soft brown eyes scanning the building for the owner of the voice but no one could be found.

"the both of you better find her soon and keep a close eye on her or suffer the consequences if you fail me" the dark voice warned before fading into the breeze as the white haired teen turned to the blond by his side, only getting a smirk from him.

"this should be easy, since I already go to Domino High" the white haired teen grinned.

"Ryou goes to Domino High, not you Bakura"

"well since I'm in control of his body, then its me that will go Malik, but make sure you don't let Marik take over, he's to insane to keep quite about what we are doing" Bakura warned, waiting for the other to answer but got no reply or complaint from Malik as the pair of them left the warehouse.

The warming rays of the sun hit Alex's pale skinned face as she lay, on her back, arms folded under her head, her note book and pencil by her side as she closed her eyes. The soft sounds of the breeze blowing gently through the leaves of the trees floated through her mind, causing every muscle in her body to relax.

"Layla, I'm coming for you, become the key" the dark hypnotic voice boomed in the darkness of her mind, causing Alex to snap her blue orbs open, sitting up quickly, not realising the person in front of her as her forehead connected with his, hard.

"ow" gently rubbing the small red mark upon her forehead before her gaze court the of crimson orbs looking right at her. Gasping, Alex placed her hands on the floor, pushing herself up onto her feet.

"you ok?" Alex didn't say anything, feeling her face heat up a little, quickly bringing her guard up.

"fine, what the hell was you thinking? Hovering over me" she snapped, backing away a little, his eyes so intense and focused upon hers. Alex tried as hard as she could to move her eyes from his but she couldn't, it was as if his very gaze have frozen her to the spot.

"I wasn't hovering, I just came to see if you was alright and anyway, you're the one who head butted me"

"erm..well sorry for that I guess" Alex stuttered slightly, unsure as to why she was feeling guilty for hurting him, it was his fault in the first place.

"well, I'm fine, mission complete and…" trailing off as she noticed Tea in the corner of her eye, arms crossed over her chest, tapping her foot on the ground.

"looks like your girlfriend waiting" Alex said as Yami turned his head to look behind him for a moment before turning back to her.

"she's not my girlfriend" he stated flatly.

"wow, really, well you make a lovely fashion accessory" Alex sarcastically said, a small smirk upon her lips at his puzzled look.

"she clings to you like you were a life support machine or something"

"she's just over protective that's all"

"oh really, so that's what you really think? Hate to break it to you but she's got it bad"

"got what bad?" he questioned, becoming even more confused by what Alex was saying.

Rolling her eyes, Alex moved a little closer towards him.

"I'll show you, keep watching her face"

"why do I need to kee…" gasping slightly, unable to finish what he was saying as Alex gently pressed her lips upon her own. Her lips were so soft upon his, warm and sweet tasting as Alex broke from him and smirked.

"see" nodding her head in Tea's direction as he turned to see his friends face, burning hot with a mixture of jealousy and also hurt.

A wave of guilt washed over Yami, not so much for Tea but for yugi, he knew full well that he liked her, really liked her but he had no idea that she felt this way towards him, he liked her as a friend and nothing more, making a mental note to talk with her and tell her that he didn't feel the same, in a nice way as not to hurt her feelings.

"I see what you mean" he said, turning back to Alex but she was already heading back into the school.

"Yami, you coming" Tea snapped, knocking Yami back to earth as he followed her back into the school, meeting up with Yugi and the others on the way.

"aw man, why does it have to be art class" Joey groaned, pushing his hands into his pockets as the five of them walked.

"only because your so rubbish at it" Tea giggled, earning her a cold glare from Joey.

"Alex can draw, maybe you should ask her to help you" Yugi smiled, looking at the large smirk across Joey's face.

"the new girl, she's hot" Joey beamed, losing track in his thoughts, his smirk growing larger as the others rolled their eyes at him, sighing at how one track minded Joey could be as the five of them entered the room, taking their normal places behind their easels.

"ok, so today your free to paint what ever comes to mind" the teacher smiled from in front of the class, only earning him a loud groan from Joey as both Yugi and Yami chuckled.

Yami let out a small sigh as he stared at the blank canvas in front of him, trying to think of something to paint, moving his gaze to the left of him as something shimmering court his eye. Alex pulled the two dark red chop sticks from her hair, letting it fall to its full length, putting the chop sticks in her pocket before realising that she was being watched, looking over her right shoulder to see crimson looking at her.

~ why is he always watching me ~ she thought, a small sensation of butterflies fluttering in her stomach as she tried to work out the answer to her own question, he was handsome, gorgeous even, there was no question about that but she couldn't work out why he would watch her.

"if you keep staring at me I might have to throw paint over you" Alex whispered, throwing Yami off guard as he turned back to his own canvas.

Letting out a small chuckle, Alex picked up one of the paint brushes and began to paint, not thinking about what she was doing, becoming lost in a sea of colour as the world around her became a blur. She had a natural talent for painting but once she started, it was like her whole body was in a trance.

"Layla, you belong to me" the haunting voice from her dreams softly whispered, pulling her into herself.

Alex felt herself become dizzy, unable to keep her legs from buckling, clamping her hands on the sides of the easel to try to keep herself steady, her breathing becoming uneven and heavy.

"are you alright?" turning her head slightly to the right side of her to meet Yami's crimson orbs, concern held with in them for her, his hand upon her back for support.

Alex took in a few deep breaths, shifting her gaze round the room, grateful that no one else seemed to notice.

"I'm fine, just felt a bit dizzy, do you come with your own horse?" she chuckled, looking back at Yami's puzzled face.

"you know, knight in shinning armour, rids around on a horse, saving girls from making a complete ass of themselves"

Alex straightened herself up as Yami moved his hand from her back. Alex couldn't understand why she felt so open towards him, she had always kept her guard up around people, but around him, she couldn't and it frightened her.

"what?" she gasped slightly, a some what confused look on her face as yami just stared at her, as if she had just grown an extra head.

"have we met before?"

"no, I think I would have remembered" she smirked as the bell rang out, signalling the end of the day.

The sun began to set as Yami sat, looking out of the window, staring off into space, unaware that Yugi had even entered the room.

"ok, spill, what's wrong with you? You have been acting weird for a while" Yugi said, knocking Yami out of his thoughts, turning his head back into the room.

"it's nothing" rising an eyebrow, Yugi walked over to Yami's bed, taking a seat at the end as he sighed.

"I know something is bothering you, we may not share the link we once had but I can still tell when something is wrong" Yugi said in almost a whisper, placing his hands upon his chest were the millennium puzzle once hung.

Yami sighed, turning his head back to the window for a moment, after every thing Yugi and the others had been through and done for him, he didn't want to concern them other something he wasn't sure of himself, he just wanted things to return to normal. Taking a deep breath in and exhaling, Yami turned back to Yugi, knowing full well that he would continue to ask until he told him.

Letting out another sigh, Yami parted his lips, trying to think of a way to tell him about the dreams he was having with out Yugi becoming worried, but he couldn't think of anything.

"its nothing to worry about, I just keep having dreams about my past, but I can't seem to remember, every time I try to, its like it becomes clouded"

Yugi looked at him for a moment before smiling.

"you have only had your memories back for a little over a year, maybe you need time to remember"

Yugi's smile grew wider as he looked at the frustration across Yami's face, he was never really a patient person.

"what about the new girl, Alex, you keep staring at her" Yugi whispered, his smile turning into a playful smirk at the slight flush of colour across Yami's face.

"she just reminds me of someone, like I've met her before"

Yugi gave Yami an understanding look as he got off the bed.

"grandpa's ordering pizza" he said before leaving the room, closing the door behind him, knowing that Yami would want to be alone with his thoughts.

A hot summers nights breeze blew gently through the palace that stood tall and centre around the beautiful cities of Egypt, the soft flickering orange glows from the crackling flames of the touches that lined the palace walls seemed to make them shimmer as a teenage with long ebony black hair walked alone down the hallways, Her plain white servants dress rippled with every step she took.

"Layla, become the key" a dark male voice whispered, echoing down the hall as the girl stopped dead in her tracks, a ice cold shiver ran up her spine as her piercing blue eyes grew wide.

She wanted to run, her head was screaming at her to do so but her legs wouldn't lesson, frozen to the ground as she slowly turned her head around, hoping that the voice was all in her imagination. A small gasp escaped her slightly shaking lips as a pair of dark red eyes came inches towards her face as the girl became surrounded by darkness, the sound of her ear piercing scream remained as everything became black.

So, there's the end of this chapter. Hope you enjoyed it. Just so you know, the whole Alex kisses Yami thing was something i based on a true event that happened in my life, thought it would be fun to throw it in there. There will also be some more true events added into this fanfic. Anyway review.
