Forgotten Feelings
Chapter 6
Attack
Enjoy!
"That was a smart move, Téa," Joey said sarcastically. The group had left school was currently in the Mouto living room. Téa threw her friend a glare.
"I didn't mean anything bad! All I wanted to say was that it was rude to go and threaten people for small things!"
"Apparently, the fact of Serenity being harmed was a big thing for Hotaru," Yugi said.
"Yes, it seems to be that, Yugi. Somehow, I doubt that they are really sisters," Yami said.
"What about them being daughters to Pegasus? That can't be true can it? We learned in Duelist Kingdom that Pegasus's wife died after they were married. They wouldn't have had time for Serenity and Hotaru to be born and Hotaru is Yugi's age," Tristan said.
"Daughters of Pegasus are in your class? Tell me about this," Solomon said as he came in with lemonade.
"It's true, Grandpa. Two girls came in today claiming to be daughters of Pegasus. Kaiba asked them about it and the oldest, Serenity, said that not many people knew about her and her sister. She said Pegasus didn't want his family to be in the spotlight," Yugi told.
"What is the youngest called?"
"Hotaru," Yugi answered. Solomon smirked.
"Can you tell me about her?" Yugi went into a profound explanation of the young girl, gaining wondrous looks from his friends.
"Ok, I didn't see her in that way," Joey said in a low tone. The others agreed. Solomon quickly straightened out his face.
"The oldest one… how is she? You said her name was... Seleni?"
"Serenity," Yami corrected. The task Yugi had carried now fell onto Yami's shoulders, though he let the others add in their own two cents. After hearing another detailed explanation, Solomon was satisfied. He excused himself and went to the shop. He knew what was happening and that Yami was somewhat more sentient of it than Yugi.
"This should be fun," he chuckled to himself. He wiped away some grime from the glass display case. As he did, the bell signaling the entrance of a customer rang.
"Hello, how many I help you?" Solomon asked as he turned to face his customer. The youth of seventeen summers smirked.
"Your Flower."
"My what?" Solomon received no verbal response. He was pinned to the floor, the youth no more a youth. Instead, he was a man of twenty-two with two black horns coming out of his head. His hair was blue and his eyes a devilish orange.
"You must have a bright Flower, old man. Let's see it, shall we?" The man's left hand shone brightly before being plunged into Solomon's chest. Solomon did not know why, whether it was for the reason that he was used to being attacked now that Yami was around or he was just getting elderly, but he did not suffer pain. He watched as a shining orb was taken out of his body.
"Ah, it's just a normal one. Either way, my master needs all the Flowers he can get," sighed the attacker.
"And just who is your master?" a feminine voice asked. Solomon gingerly turned his head. There, at the entrance to the shop, were two silhouettes belonging to girls. Each seemed to be carrying a staff of some sort.
"What the hell are you two doing here? You're dead! The Silver Millennium fell thousands of years ago!" screeched the man.
"Merely think of us as revived," said another voice, belonging to the second girl. The two jumped. One kicked the man away and the other robbed him of the orb.
"I'm sorry if you are hurt. Rest now and let us conclude our function. Please, tell no one of us," said she. Solomon only managed to see hardened eyes before sleep took hold of him.
"Grandpa, are you ok? Grandpa!" Solomon groaned and reluctantly opened his eyes. Concerned eyes filled his vision.
"Yugi?"
"Oh, good, you're awake," said the young man. Solomon sat up and looked around. He was in his room with Yugi and Yami around him.
"Where are the others?"
"They left after helping get you up here," Yugi responded.
"What happened?" Yami questioned. Solomon frowned. He tried remembering. It all came back in a mad rush. He gripped his head tightly.
"A lot of things did. I think that the world is going to need saving once more," Solomon said. Yugi and Yami shared a look.
"Did someone attack you?" Yugi continued. Solomon nodded.
"Yes, it was a man. He wanted something called a Flower. I don't know what he was talking about. He jumped on me and…" He trailed off.
"And what?" Yami encouraged.
"He put his hand inside my chest and took out an orb of some sort. Then two girls appeared. It all went fast after that. They attacked the man and one told me to go to sleep. Then I woke up here."
"Confusing," Yami whispered. Yugi nodded.
"This almost beats you getting a body." Yami smirked at the mention of it.
"Yes, almost. Did you get any information on these people?" he asked, turning the conversation back on track. Solomon shook his head.
"No, and if you'll excuse me, I'll take my rest. I'm getting up there in years and all this excitement isn't good for me." The two youths smiled and left him to his sleep.
"Think this involves the Millennium Items?" Yugi asked. Yami sighed and turned away.
"I don't know, Yugi. I don't know."
