STOLEN SOULS
Scale came too and shook his head. What hit me?
He heard someone moan next to him.
How did she get inside the scales?
Then Scale remembered what happened when Malik was sealing him in the scales. Stupid mortal! She got sucked in with me! That means the others have to cart her corpse around with them!Corpse? No wait Serenity wasn't dead, she was like Shadi now.
"Scale? Are you okay?"
Scale blinked she had just had her soul ripped from her body and she was asking if he was okay?
"You...you...stupid weak mindless naive trusting...pathetic...mortal female!" Scale shouted.
Serenity blinked shocked. Scale was so angry his face was starting to turn red.
"What did you do that for? Now your stuck in her and your body is out there in the shadow realm!"
"I thought he was killing you...I wanted to help." Serenity said.
"I'm already dead!" Scale shouted. "He wasn't trying to kill me he was putting me back in the Scales!"
"In the Scales? I thought you were the scales?" Serenity asked. "How can you be trapped in yourself?"
"My name is Senui! I bet you don't think the Pharaoh as the puzzle just from the puzzle!" Scale Ranted. "And that stupid Pharaoh has it made! He gets one host, once that will be reborn over and over, and he won't have to worry about losing him! Or Bakura his pet wimp will get reborn too, but me and Ankhkare? We get passed down from person to person and we get a selfish small minded twit each time. Until Shadi, He's the only one of them who even bothers to use our names when we asked. Of course the sand for brained loser almost gets himself killed like four times. By Anubus that fat but head actually did kill him...."
"Senui it's okay to be sacred of losing him." Serenity said breaking Scale off mid rant.
"Huh?" Was Scales intelligent reply.
"I'm sacred of losing people. I'm sacred for my brother even before all this happened. We were taken away from each other. I really thought I would never see him again, When you grow up thinking that your going to go blind you learn to not to take things for granted." Serenity explained. "And when you never know if you might be told that your brother has died in a street fight, or now killed by the shadow realm, you learn to hold them in your heart."
Scale looked at Serenity there were tears in her eyes but they hadn't fallen.
"Look I'm sorry I shouted at you." Scale said grudgingly. "But what in Ra's name was you thinking throwing yourself into a spell like that? You heard what that blond hedgehog said I'm one of the weakest Sprits, I can't do anything for you."
"What makes you think I want something?" Serenity asked.
"Why else would you help me?"
"Because Senui I don't take anything for granted and even if your aren't really alive you do have a life and shouldn't be imprisoned."
"You know, your starting to sound like that frog-breath Ankh."
Serenity laughed. "That's the closest thing I'm going to get to a compliment off you isn't it?"
Scale smiled. "You should fee honoured."
Serenity stood up and looked around, the place looked pretty much like the shadow realm so there wasn't really any point to this, but it was human nature. She turned back to Scale. Was she blushing?
"So." Serenity was playing with her hair. "You know all about my take on life, what about yours?"
"Power and Chocolate are important. What else matters?" [1] Scale answered.
Serenity blinked. The she started to laugh.
Scale watched her, she was really pretty when she laughed like that. Scale surprised himself when he found he wasn't all that angry for thinking that.
Serenity saw Scale looking at her and something in his eyes made her blush deepen. Suddenly Scale realised he was staring. He coughed and pulled some playing cards from his robes. "I don't suppose you know how to play Mao do you?"
"You kidding? I LOVE that game!"
The pair sat down and playing Serenity laughing and Scale occasionally smiling. Which was only possible because Scale hadn't provoked the 'no talking rule' like he had when playing Yami Malik.
He never realised how long they had been trapped until Serenity fell asleep in the middle of the game.
With out even thinking he moved her so she wouldn't wake up with a bad neck or anything.
What the heck am I doing? Hell I've fallen hard haven't I? She's cute when she's sleeping.
Scale shook his head. Stop thinking like that she'll only grow old and rot like Shadi will.The next day Scale and Serenity done nothing but talk. Scale was surprised that Serenity found his old life in Egypt so interesting. Or that she actually declared her hatred for the previous guardians on just his testament on how they treated Scale and Ankh. He was surprised how much time it seemed to kill too. What surprised him the most was how Serenity managed to make him laugh when she told him her tale.
Oh I'm going to have some good Blackmail material on Seth's Hikari.
Now Serenity had fallen asleep again and according to Scales internal clock, not that time could be measured very well in the shadow realm or here in the scales, three days seemed to have passed. Scale smirked. It's boring in here really, lets see if I can brighten it up.
Scale concentrated an slowly the shadows changed into sand. Scale had recreated the beach that Joey had taken Serenity to when she was younger. Well he recreated it the best he could do from her description.
When Serenity woke up she looked around with eyes as big as the Wretched Ghost of the Attics. She stood up a big smile on her face before turning to Scale.
"Senui Thank you!"
Serenity ran up to Scale and threw her arms around him.
"Hey keep a grip!" Scale complained but he was smiling. I am so thankful that no one is here to see me like this!
"I think I have a pretty good one around your neck." Serenity laughed before kissing him on the cheek.
Scale stroked the girls hair. He hadn't felt this good, or alive for a long time.
"Senui?"
"Yeah?"
"Since we stuck here and we have the lovely big beach to play on how about we play tag?"
Serenity kissed Scales on the lips and ran off.
"Your it!"
Scale blinked. The kiss as innocent and quick as it was had stopped the rest of the sentence sinking in.
"Oh tag is it?" Scale shouted. "I'm going to get..."
Suddenly there was a big flash of light and Scale found himself in the graveyard surrounded by everyone else.
"...there just like I said you mean me and I let them out, but that doesn't get all of you out of the grave yard. " Yami Malik was saying.
Scale looked around before being 'attacked' by Ankh. Scale pushed him of as saw the smug look on Seth's face. He frowned.
Don't tell me I owe my freedom to HIM.
Then he realised how friendly he had gotten with Serenity.
And couldn't he have waited a day or too longer?
