CHAPTER 14:
-…… -she just blinked startled for what he had said. She couldn't believe he had said that. And for what reason? What was she going to tell him? She felt so strange to look at him. In her mind was still alive the scene of the past she had witnessed. It felt so good be in his arms…
-What was that?
-It just pop out of my mouth, and it's the truth –he said staring lovely at her and then suddenly he stood up
-I'm going for some fresh air, I'll be back soon –Yami started to walk
-Wait! What are you going to do at this time out there?! It could be dangerous!
-Believe me… -he said grabbing the doorknob of the front door – Now, I'm the one who's dangerous – he opened the door and disappeared into the darkness of the morning.
Anzu stood there a minute staring at the closed door and then she went back to where the others were. At the distance a loud thunder was heard.
Yami walked through the silent streets, just with the company of a dog or a nearby cat that walked around. A sound of a howl was heard on the entire city. He didn't pay any attention to it; he was concentrate thinking about his current situation.
-"My life was going so well… and suddenly all came down… why this had to happen to me? My life is an entire lie! A joke! I never asked for this! I wish this never had happened…" –he yelled on his mind and shut tight his eyes.
A tiny rain started to fall as he arrived to a desolate park and sat down on a bench. He put his elbows on his knees and grabbed his head with his hands. The millennium puzzle hanging softly on his neck making tiny noises when it tripped with the chain. The rain started to fall more violently and a storm started to develop.
Yami got all wet in seconds and his breath started to be visible by the terrible cold that the environment provided.
He only sat there, letting the rain travel all his face and body. He put an involuntary hand on his chest; he still could feel the pain caused by the hole that was now inside him. All at once he heard laughter.
-JaJaJaJa –Yami turned around to see the owner of the voice but he didn't saw anyone, he was the only one in that place
-JaJaJaJa –He stood up narrowing his eyes in search for the man who was laughing. He was breathing agitated for the strong cold.
-I'm waiting for you, pharaoh! –He heard the voice inside his mind and immediately knew who was talking
-Priest Set… -he thought
-Yes! Finally you recognize me! Now that you have more knowledge, this will be fun!
-What do you want Set?! –asked Yami in his mind
The storm started to get worse. A strong wind blew making all the trees move strongly. Yami was getting some trouble in stay still.
-I want your power! And because of that, you must come here, to the Valley of the Kings. You know which chamber, the one you last saw the light of the world! Don't take so long! This chamber is claiming for your dead body!!
-You're a wacko! You never will obtain what you want, I assure you!
-Try me. I can't control you with my rod because your mind is very strong, I accept that, but also I have another way of taking control over you, and I will show you that way when you came here! JaJaJa. I'm waiting for you, pharaoh! –Yami couldn't hear him more.
-I have to stop him –he murmured and walked back towards his house.
-He what! –exclaimed an agitated Isis while walking around like a lion in a jail.
-He seemed so normal that I let him go –Anzu defended herself
All were awake at 3:00 a.m and found Anzu already awake. When they asked for the pharaoh, she told them the true.
-If he is normal or not it's not the point! Look at that storm! He is out there! We have to do something! –yelled Isis almost in the verge of nerves.
-But if he is in pharaoh Atem state? What are we going to do then?–asked a preoccupied Joey to all of them
-We made a spell in him that merge his two personalities in one –Marik explained –but also we don't know if it worked
-He's too powerful –murmured Bakura crossing his arms
-What hopes! We have to believe that it worked! –exclaimed Isis staring to all their pensive faces
-Guys, I saw him, and he was normal. He said to me that he also remembered everything –said Anzu staring at the rain outside the window- Some things of his past and what happened here, I think the spell worked – Anzu looked to all of them that were standing with crossed arms
A loud thunder echoed in the entire house and a flash of lightning enlightened all the corners of the house.
-This storm is getting worse, what time is it? –asked Duke to Joey
-It's 4:15, more than a hour had passed –Joey said staring outside the window
-And if something happened to him with this storm? –asked Isis worried and all stared to the floor
-I doubt it –mumbled Bakura fixing his gaze in a suddenly shadow that appeared on the door
-Then, you wouldn't have to worry for me anymore and problem solved –said Yami resting against the door when another thunder and a flash of lightning enlightened his face giving his dark red eyes an eerie look.
-Yami! –Anzu immediately stood up and embrace him
Drops of water covered all his hair and face, his golden bangs glued to his cheeks by the water. All his clothes wet and he was slightly shivering. His breath still formed a tiny cloud on the air.
-You're shivering! Come on, you have to changes this wet clothes –Anzu motioned him to walk but he just stood there staring with his now dark red eyes to the people, especially to Bakura and Marik.
Anzu caught his interest and stared as well when he talked again.
-I appreciate what you did, Ryou, it's the same for you, Marik –he said stepping forward towards them wetting the entire floor as he walked.
-Pharaoh! ... You… remember us! –exclaimed Bakura with wide eyes, so Marik
-These were your name in the past –he said averting his eyes
-And they are the same in this time – said Bakura letting his arms fall at their sides
The golden eye appeared faintly on his forehead and all instinctively took a step back in fear. Yami closed his eyes and his body was involved by a black mist that seemed very hot because the temperature of the room increased immediately. The drops of water covering his clothes and the water on the floor evaporated suddenly. The eye disappeared and he opened his eyes again and smiled.
-Now, that's much better –he said touching his now dry clothes and fixing his hair a little
All were wide eyed without making any sound or move. Yami noticed the reaction and breathed deeply.
-I know what you are thinking, but don't worry. I will not involve you guys more in this. I'm going alone from now on. –he said and turned to walk but a voice stopped him
-No, pharaoh! It's not what you think! –said Bakura taking a step forward with his hand extended
Yami stopped and turned to face him. He stared directly into his eyes. Bakura felt suddenly uncomfortable by his attention.
-We are just… surprised of… your strength –Bakura said kicking himself for had said something like that to his pharaoh.
-What Ryou wants to say is –said Isis taking the attention of Yami – that we were afraid of your reaction after the spell. We didn't know if it had worked. It worked pharaoh? –asked Isis staring intently and waiting for his answer.
All were waiting for his reaction. He just thought about it a moment and felt a pang of pain in his chest where he felt the hole. He grimaced and put a hand reflexively on the center of the pain and was going to kneel on the floor but Marik grabbed him and made him sat on the couch.
-Pharaoh? –said Marik in a whisper
-I… feel a hole inside, and it hurts a lot –he said gripping his shirt stronger and opening his eyes a little –What did you do besides of merging my two personalities? You did something more to me, what was it? –he demanded staring at Marik, then to Ryou.
-We just merge your two faces, that was all –said Bakura approaching a little. Anzu and Isis imitated him
-No! I'm sure you did something more and you're not aware. Tell me the exact invocation. Tell me. –he ordered as he stopped grabbing his shirt. The pain was momentarily gone
-We said 'By the power of our items we release your soul of the dark shadows. Items, let the pharaoh be free of the burden he himself had charged on his shoulders a long time ago, make that his two faces, the dark and the light merge into one'
-That's it! –He said suddenly standing up and putting a very worried face –Don't you realized it? –he said passing a hand through his hair.
-I don't get it. They only said that your two souls merge into one. –said Joey to all of them
Isis and Anzu just looked to Yami that was walking in circles very stressed and then quickly got closer to Bakura and grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him a little, not too strong but enough to made him scare. (A/N:with the merely presence of his pharaoh he is already scared jeje)
-You said 'let the pharaoh be free of the burden he himself had charged on his shoulders a long time ago', do you know what that burden is? –asked Yami with eyes that showed fear and anger at the same time
-…… -Bakura could not say anything, he didn't know. But by the pharaoh face it was something very bad.
-I knew you didn't know –Yami said smiling at the time he released him and turned his back on him
-What was that burden? –asked Anzu walking besides him
Yami turned to stare at her and closed his eyes at the time he shook his head slightly making his golden bangs move freely at his movement.
-I contained in my body the dark energy of the items. I absorbed it a long time ago so it couldn't made any harm and Set could be the same he always was… -he paused remembering with melancholy the old Set, that always was at his side, his beloved cousin –but I discovered that It was not only the dark energy what made Set so evil, it was… -he paused not knowing how to continue, he closed his eyes.
-What was? –encouraged Anzu for him to continue.
He opened his eyes again and stared directly into her eyes admiring her beauty.
-It was you, Anzu –he said making all in the room gasp as well as Anzu, he sighed and turned to face the window once more. – His feelings for you made him be jealousy for me and that was soon converted in anger and desires to kill me… -he stopped a little and then continue – He wanted to remove the inner power that is naturally in me but I didn't let him. I absorbed his dark energy, as I told you before and then shattered the puzzle that was the only way for he to gain his power again… Ryou –he said turning to face him –I would preferable die that be free of that power… You had to shatter the puzzle, not freeing the power to stop me… –he said looking to Marik
-Now I get it. With the spell, they made the dark energy went out of your body; it's because of that you felt that hole! –exclaimed Duke with wide eyes.
-Correct. And now the energy comes back to his source –Yami said
-To Set's body –said Isis quietly
-That is why he contacted me a while ago, and told me to go to the Valley of the Kings. I must fight against him, so, I don't want any of you to be there, it could be dangerous –he said turning around to see their reaction. Their reactions wasn't very good
-What? Are you nuts! We are going with you! You must protect the world and we must protect you! –exclaimed Marik at him
-It's true, We are going with you! Want it or not! –said Anzu staring at him with a serious look
-It's your decision, I respect it but I don't share it. Well, rest what is left of the early morning. We are traveling at 10:00 a.m. It's a very long day what await us today
-Ok. Come on guys! –said Isis motioning all men, Joey, Duke, Marik and Bakura to follow, letting Anzu and Yami alone in the living room.
-But why Anzu—Joey tried to exclaim but Isis didn't let him and pushed him out of the room
Only was left Yami and Anzu inside the room. They stayed in silence a minute, but then Yami broke up the situation.
-Anzu, is best if you rest. Now, go. –he said turning to face her again
-I want you to tell me about that matter –she said sitting on the couch and making a gesture for Yami to sit as well. He took a sit and sighed.
-What do you want to know? –he asked her staring at her blue eyes.
-We were happy? –she asked him grabbing his hand. He just closed his eyes and sighed
-It didn't last long, but yes, we were very happy –he said smiling at the floor. She just smiled as well. – Set was very in love with you, you know, but you never paid him attention, it was because of that he become hostile against me –he said saddening by the memory.
-I don't want to talk about Set –said Anzu rubbing his hand with her hand. Yami raised his eyes rapidly to meet hers. He knew were she was going.
-I want to know… about us, tell me –she said moving closer to him.
His heart started to pound faster. A long time had passed since he felt that emotion. Her heart started to pound faster as well, she was realizing that Yami was a man very important in his past and now in her present life.
-We had a forbidden love. You were a priestess and I the pharaoh. But before all that happened, we loved each other. –he said without stop looking at her.
-I remember that moment in the royal garden –she said staring at him. His eyes widened.
-You… you remember? –he asked bewildered
-Yes, it's the moment I most treasure in my mind –she said getting more close to him
-It was the same you said to me back there… Anzu… -he leaned more closing the space between them and their lips were inches apart of each other.
-Wow, they are re-starting again their relationship! JeJeJe- said Marik inclined on the door with Isis and Bakura. Yami realized it and created a black wall between the door and the lobby.
-What the?? –exclaimed Joey wanting to see more
-He realized. I'm sorry guys, better go to sleep –Isis said quietly walking away
-Damn –exclaimed Joey walking as well as Bakura, Marik and Duke
Yami just smirked to their childish actions and continue where he was interrupted. Anzu just smiled as well and embraced him by his neck. And this time they could give each other a truly kiss, very deep and desiring. He made Anzu lean on the couch and you know what happened next.
They started to kiss and touching each other like never had they done, until the morning came and found them asleep.
