Kuraki-chan: I hate to say this, but this is the last semi-funny chapter before the serious stuff. Because after this, depresses me writing it. I'm a total writer and get so in tune with my characters that I feel Virah's pain throughout this. And I can tell you, it only keeps getting worse. Her life kinda sucks.
Elvirah: Oh thanks. That makes me feel damn lovely.
Shadow: Tch, you should see what she did for me; she gave me a drug addicted mom, dad that bailed, and wrote the damn story like she was on crack! Did I mention I lost my virginity IN AN AIRPLANE BATHROOM? You sick fuck!
Kuraki-chan: ^-^''' eh heh heh…did I do thaaattt?
What You Want.
11; The Legacy
"It's about time you woke up," Virah said to the newly awoken Bakura.
"We were beginning to think you were out cold again," commented Ryou.
Bakura sat up and surveyed his surroundings; it looked like the Shadow Realm crossed with the Monster World RPG (A/N: Season 0/manga reference! :D) and a house of mirrors. Wait, what the hell was with the random mirrors?
"Either of you care to explain?" Bakura pretty much ordered.
Ryou looked at Virah who was leaning against a tree with her eyes closed. "We got sent to the Shadow Realm. If you remember correctly, you know I can manifest it because of my affinity. So I altered it; now we can't be maimed or trapped here. Once I get enough of my energy back, I can get us out of here. Speaking of which, I sense my brother's presence. Watch the mirrors, also, but not literally – don't look into them."
"I still don't understand the mirrors," Ryou said.
"To say the least, they can be deadly. If you at your reflection in them, some steal your soul and trap you here; others take the darkest piece of you and manifest it into a twisted version of you that then comes out and you have to fight it and win to escape. Lose and die here. Since I have D.I.D., it's probably pull out one of my alters and fuck 'em up."
"Is that why you're keeping your eyes closed?" Virah shook her head. "Why are you than?"
"Because she's hiding something," said Bakura.
Virah tensed up, sensing something. Her instincts were right – some kind of mutated beast jumped out of a mirror and sprang itself at them, baring saliva covered teeth. Virah held out her right and after flames dispersed, a sword appeared and she killed the beast with ease.
"That can also happen; there are other beast creatures beyond these mirrors also looking for an escape. Those, however, are completely my fault." Virah explained.
"Why is it your fault?" Ryou asked.
"Because they're the demons of her past; no pun intended," answered Bakura.
Virah nodded. "That was my old teammate when I was a Guardian."
"What happened to her?" Bakura asked.
Virah looked at them with sorrowful black tinted amethyst eyes. "…she dueled me and lost."
"Since we have another unexpected duelist," one of Kaiba's suits said, "and everyone has now dueled, would anybody volunteer to duel or be chosen at random? The only people, however, that may duel are the four finalists."
"I will!" Joey yelled, pumped. Almost everyone sweatdropped.
"Very well…than where is Miss Elvirah?"
As Marik began to snicker, the door to the Stratos Dueling Arena was kicked open and with Virah leading the way – lollipop present again – Bakura, Ryou, and Marik's good half entered.
"Right fricken here!" Virah said with her lollipop between her lips. "And it's just Virah. Who's my victim?"
Yami Marik growled with a glare that would give young children nightmares. Virah smirked and Joey told her he would be dueling.
"You're going to regret that dearly, kid. Because I've never lost, nor do I show mercy." Well, I haven't lost in about six years anyways…
"Obviously you've never lost if you're still here," Bakura muttered.
All eyes traveled to the three boys. Virah jumped on the deck and said, "I play with the boys 'cause I'm no priss, point?"
"I sent all of you fools to the Shadow Realm!" Yami Marik snarled. "How did you escape? !"
Virah removed her glasses to show her amethyst eyes shifting to a black tinted purple on her left, and brown on the right. "Because I've got the bloodline of The Legacy, you twat."
Kuraki-chan: Stay tuned for chapter twelve: And Cassie Pulled the Trigger! Thirteen gets pretty deep with, I Love the Way You Lie, and you guys are gonna hate me at fourteen; Sometimes Goodbye Is A Second Chance.
Review and you'll get the well awaited drama, fights, blood, memories, explanations, magic, and all that fun stuff! :D
