Chapter 11
"Pachúa. Come on it's time to wake up." Yugi whispered. Shaking Pachúa gently. Pachúa groaned in annoyance and yawned loudly.
"What time is it?" Pachúa asked softly. Stretching her arms out. Yugi chuckled softly
"It's almost eight. The train stops soon. Come on, get up." Yugi said standing up and reaching for their bags. Pachúa stood up and took hold of her own bag. Placing it down next to her seat. Yugi did the same.
"Yugi. Do you have any clue on what Jonas meant?" Pachúa asked softly, sitting back down onto her seat. Yugi shook his head.
"No. I thought all this time after our talk and I couldn't figure it out." Yugi said sitting back down onto his own seat. Pachúa giggled softly
"Maybe we can think together. Were there any clues on what he was going to lose?" Pachúa asked folding her arms over her chest. Yugi sighed and put a finger to his head in thought.
"Well before Anim died a few weeks ago, she said 'he'll lose one memory after one hour' though I still don't know what she meant." Pachúa gasped and slammed a fist into the open palm of her hand
"That's it! He's missing his memories! How long ago was it since Anim told you that?"
"Um about seven weeks." Pachúa groaned in frustration
"That means he could have lost all of his memories of the modern day by now." Pachúa said taking hold of the puzzle and examining it
"Maybe if you call him out, we can ask. Can you try?" Pachúa asked softly. Yugi took back the puzzle
"I could try I guess." Yugi said grasping the puzzle tightly in his hands.
/Please…hear me out…spirit of the puzzle…appear before me…in spirit…/
The puzzle glowed brightly then faded away. Yugi opened his eyes. In front of him was a transparent figure. He looked just like Atem…only he had pale skin instead of tan and violet eyes instead of crimson. He even wore the same clothes Yugi had on now. He even wore the puzzle.
"What is it now?" The transparent figure asked, folding his arms over his chest.
"I uh w-well I j-just wanted to ask um-"
"Yugi. Have some back bone. Talk to him like a normal person." Pachúa said cutting Yugi off. Yugi nodded and faced the figure again.
"I demand your name." Yugi spoke clearly. The figure rolled his eyes
"You have no right or purpose of my name. Though seeing as you're my vessel, you may call me Yami." The figure said sitting down on the air. Crossing one leg onto the other.
"Well Yami. I want to know what it is you remember of yourself." Yugi asked gently. Yami smirked and shook his head
"No. You get nothing from me. I may live within your heart but I have no desire to share with you anything." Yami said before disappearing into the puzzle once again. Yugi sighed in frustration
"He won't talk. He doesn't want to tell me anything." Yugi said frustrated. Pachúa smiled faintly
"Well maybe you should just try and gain his trust first. Show him that you care for him as much as Samara and I. Just show that kindness to him and he'll give you his trust. Then we'll be able to figure it out." Pachúa said softly. Yugi nodded
"I'll try. But the only problem is he won't listen to me." Yugi said sadly. Pachúa smiled as the train came to a stop.
"Attention Passengers, we've arrived at the Seaside Hotel, please collect your belongings and leave the train in an orderly fashion. Thank you." The intercom then shut off. Yugi stood up from his chair and stretched. Picking up his bag and hanging it over his shoulder. Pachúa did the same. They exited the train. They were of course outside the Seaside Hotel. They entered the hotel, Yugi checked them in and they started to make their way up to the room.
"Alright. Floor thirteen." Yugi muttered to himself as Pachúa and himself entered the elevator. Yugi pressed the thirteenth floor button. The elevator immediately began to take them up.
"Yugi, what room are we staying in?" Pachúa asked curiously as she was bored by the time they passed the fifth floor. (people kept going in and out).
"Hmm oh well room six hundred sixty six." Yugi said absent mindedly. Pachúa blinked and gulped.
/That's the same room number Atem had when he was in the hospital. I'm beginning to get a bad feeling about this./
Pachúa thought as a light stab of pain pierced her heart. She winced and held back a gasp of pain. Yugi didn't seem to notice.
"I don't know why, but those numbers sound so familiar to me." Yugi said softly. Pachúa gulped but remained silent. Watching as they stopped in front of the room. Yugi took out the key and slid it through the card slider. The door beeped then opened. From what they could see so far, the room was large and etiquette. Lovely elegant designs etched into the walls all over the room. A perfect mixture of lavender and blue colored the walls. A light violet stained glass door led out into a balcony. White silk curtains draped elegantly down the windows and the glass door. To sum it up the room was breathe taking. Like something you would see in a three story mansion. Two beds were placed to the far left side of the balcony door. Compared to the rest of the room the beds looked boring and plain.
"Well we'd might as well relax for a bit until Kerry get's here. You can take the bed near the window if you'd like. Until Kerry gets here at least, after that we'll share one. Kay?" Yugi said gently as he placed the suitcases down near the door. Pachúa nodded gently and slowly made her way to the bedroom near the glass door that led to the balcony.
Her cheeks flushed with the fever that erupted within her. Her vision cloudy. With every small movement she made a wave of dizziness washed over her.
/This feeling…the last I felt like this…/ Pachúa gasped quietly. Her eyes flickering with doubt. /No…I will prevent this…I must prevent this…It can not happen…not now…/
Pachúa mentally chanted a spell. Casting away the presence she felt nearing Yugi and herself. She gasped. A bolt of lightning shooting through her body. A small cry if pain escaped her pale lips.
"Pachúa? Are you okay?" Yugi asked rushing to Pachúa's side. Pachúa's eyes glazed over. Fogging her vision. The last thing she was sure she heard was an angry screeching voice. That pierced her body with shivers of bitter coldness.
"Atemu where are you? Damn…baby brother why do you always have to play the hero." A pale hand with strong fingers ran through baby blue silk hair. The moon casting down upon his hair. Giving it an eerie glow.
"Izrel, you know that you must find your brother. Bring him back to the afterlife where he belongs." A strong voice called down from the heavens. Izrel looked upward to the sky. Nodding gently.
"I know father! I know." Izrel yelled. Lifting his hood back over his head and continuing on his journey.
"Maigo, activate the chamber!" Alice yelled snapping her fingers. Maigo rolled her eyes and walked toward the large switch. Flicking it down. A large generator activated and released a violet chamber onto of Yugi. Yugi opened his mouth in shock pounding his fists on the violet chamber. His cries for help went unheard. The chamber was too thick.
"Maigo! Your trainee power if you please." Brandon said bowing slightly and
pointing to Yugi. Maigo sighed and lifted her hands before her. An eerie light
erupted from her hands and shot forward at the chamber. The light surrounded
Yugi.
Something within his body was being torn away. He yelled in pain. The agonizing torturous pain raked his entire body. Sending bolts of pain through his spine. His head on the verge of splitting in half. His heart burning in fire. Then it stopped. He opened his eyes, which he hadn't realized he closed, and looked around himself. Gasping at the sight.
In front of him was a boy. Sun kissed tan skin, spiky tri-colored locks. Gold bangs framing his young face elegantly. And lively, proud, crimson eyes.
"Atem. You're alive." Yugi whispered. Atem looked back at him a bit confused
"I'm sorry. Have we met?" Atem asked curiously. Yugi felt a jolt of pain stab his heart. Atem didn't remember him? How could that be! He remembered everything else but him!
"Young Prince. It's time for you to die!" Alice said as she conjured a katana
in her hands and leaped forward. The chamber dissolved into dust before them.
"NO! Don't touch him!" Samara yelled as she lunged forward and tackled Alice
down.
"NO! STOP! SAMARA! SHE'LL KILL YOU!" Pachúa yelled clamping her hands over her ears tightly. A loud growling noise audible through all the screams. Shadows of darkness spread from Pachúa's body. Engulfing the entire room.
Spirits of the deceased reformed before them. With bodies a new. Skin melting off, muscle twitching below their eyes and on their stomachs. Tattered rags around their lower waists. Bones a sickly yellow color, revealed in most areas of their bodies.
For a second…the battles stopped. The screams lost in the dark abyss set before them.
/This isn't right…this isn't how I saw it before…someone has changed their fate…/ Pachúa's last few thoughts as her mind was lost to the depths of the under world.
A screaming Pachúa sat upright in the bed. Cold sweat trickling down the side of her face. Her yells reduced to large, shaking gasps for breath.
"Pachúa?! What's wrong? Are you alright?" Yugi asked placing a gentle hand on Pachúa's shaking shoulder.
"Y-yes I'm fine. J-just a small nightmare. Nothing to worry about." Pachúa said softly. Placing a trembling hand over her thumping heart.
/It was just a nightmare…that's all…I've been overworked…that's all. A small nap and I'll be good as new!/ Pachúa thought with a sigh /I'm so lying to myself right now…if that was really a dream then why did it feel so real. The power surging through my body, activating the final stage of my abilities…No I won't think about it. It can't be real…I know it isn't./
Pachúa gulped. Still unconvinced by her own words. She wasn't an idiot. She could tell if something awful was reality or fantasy. The dream might have just been that, a dream. But though it felt like reality she knew the dream was foreshadowing a certain event near the future.
"Pachúa, are you sure you're alright?" Yugi asked gently. Pachúa faced him and smiled softly. Nodding gently.
"Yes Yugi. I'm fine. I just need a nap." Pachúa said as she settled back down onto the bed.
Yugi stared down at her with glazed over violet eyes. He placed a gentle hand on Pachúa's head.
":The pain thou art feeling shall save thee from thy cursèd soul. Till the time is right thy pain shall return. For now rest thy gentle heart.:" Yugi spoke softly. A small blue light formed around his hand and down to Pachúa. Engulfing her entire body. Pachúa's tense body relaxed and she breathed a sigh of relief.
/For now the pain you feel shall be removed. Your burden has been placed on the true owners shoulders./ Yugi thought as he collapsed to his knees. Clutching his heart.
"Damn you Yami. You may look like Atem but you are not him! Atem would never do this to me! Damn you Yami!" Yugi muttered. His voice filled with pain. A steady knock was audible from the hotel room.
Yugi forced himself to stand and walked to the door. Opening it gently.
"Yes?" Yugi asked softly looking up at the man. He had a tough build, sky blue hair and dark blue eyes. A scar in the shape of a lightning bolt on the side of his left cheek. A yellow scarf visible at the collar of his neck. Though just barely from the black cloak he wore.
"Uh may I help you?" Yugi asked taking a step back. The man nodded
"Yes. My name is Izrel. I'm Atemu's older brother from Egypt. My father sent me to find him. We want him back in the afterlife, home with us."
Yugi gasped softly taking another step back
"Older brother!?"
