Helloo!!!! I'm back with the new chapter of Nova. I told you I would post it before Thursday?!
-My Plotbunny: Yeah.... well... not without my help!!
-Me: You should've helped me sooner!!!
Anyway: I hope you guys like this new chapter. I don't, but that's just me. Even though I do like the ending a little bit. This is just filler before the war starts. But I needed a reason to put Bakura (and with him Marik) into the story. And off course everyone wants to know if Miroko survived or not??
-My Plotbunny: Everyone already knows that!!
-Me: Shush and go give someone else the creeps!
-My Plotbunny: Watch it or I won't help you anymore!!
-Me: Well, would that be horrible. (crosses her arms)
-My story: Well, just great. I'll do the disclaimer, knowing you haven't done it in a while...... Chibi doesn't own anything!! If she did... well, she would be rich and famous!! And GX wouldn't exist... And Yami wouldn't have left. And she doesn't own her Plotbunny either!
-Me: Yes I do!!! I own this plot!!!! (freaks out)
-My story: Have fun!!! And besides everything: The title means: I see you. Chibi liked it because it fits Anzu and her feelings against Shinna. Or something like that.........
Chapter 26
Ik sjoch dy

The earth shook beneath their feet. Yugi clung to Yami, his fist thightly gripping Yami's shirt. Crimson eyes looked wide-eyed at the crumbling building that was once his Palace. The building that had survived so many things. A hand lay upon his shoulder and Yami looked at Seto. Seto could feel Magic ride the air. His hair was the wind's playmate. Softly he pulled Jonouchi closer to him.
Honda stared at the strongest building he had ever seen. He could see fear in Kida's eyes when she looked back at him. They all, everyone from servant to Yami, stood there. They stood not far away from the collapsing Palace. And then people from the nearby village came over, running to them.
"Yugi!!", Eos called out and she tried to reach him, but the young Mage could only stare at what was his home until now. Dragons flew away from the Palace, the animals in the garden were safe and all the others were safe too.
"Amrah?", Yami asked softly and Yugi could feel the tears Yami didn't shed yet. Eos looked at the palace and then at Eros. Everything was wrong now. Everything was gone and there was so much fear. Eos shuddered softly.
Then suddenly, two light-orbs flew out of the mess that once was the Palace. One orb flew away, right after it came from the mess. The other orb floated for a little second and then flew to them. Kida grabbed Honda and Jonouchi did the same to Seto. Yami stepped forward, Yugi still with him. He hoped that his hopes were true. They had to be true. Before them landed Miroko. Once landed, she folded her eight wings and looked up at them. The scar was still evident, like all the other cuts and bleeding wounds.
"Miroko", Yami sighed softly as he saw her. Miroko walked over to him and she hugged the Pharaohn with love.
"Yi nerashe'o tamikje, nimera tamaï (She can steal skins, never wings)", Miroko whispered and Yami laughed. Yugi laughed with him and hugged Miroko too, happy she was still with them. Then the rest of the friends went over too, hugging her, while then staring at her wings.
"I know there's a lot to explain, but this is not that time. I couldn't kill Shinna, our powers were equal. Even though we were Shadow and Light, fighting... I couldn't kill her. She's still out there and we have to find her before she can hide again", Miroko said. Yami sighed and then turned around.
"I, as your King, says that the war has started. We all knew it would come, but now... There's no waiting anymore, the day has arrived that we need to fight", Yami said. His voice was loud and clear.
"I will lend you my sword, my Pharaohn", a man said. Yugi knew him as a teacher from school. He always gave the fighting classes. Yami lay a hand onto his shoulder.
"And I am grateful for that", he said. Then he turned to Yugi.
"Come my love. We will go to another place. A place where we can form our army and make sure Shinna is trapped within her own hiding place", Yami said. Yugi took his hand in his. Seto walked up with him, Jonouchi following him. The whole village started walking and Yami turned to Miroko. Her clothes were unripped, and her skin was cured. Ryou stood beside her and she smiled at him.
"I know where to go", she said and waved her hand in the air. One blinding light followed her hand and then the horizon was split and had come closer. Yugi stared at a snowfilled landscape. There were houses everywhere, wooden houses. Smoke filled the air from fireplaces and Yugi looked at Yami.
"We will be safe there", Yami said softly and Yugi smiled. He followed Yami through the portal that Miroko had created. Whole Artrim, Akihime's capital, followed their King through the portal and after the last child had entered, the portal closed on it's own.
--
Bakura's Dragon, Sha're, flew through the blue sky. She flew as fast as she could, but she was tired and Bakura could tell. Artrim wasn't exactly around the corner. No, it was like: on the other half of Akihime's world.
"Go down, Sha're. You need rest", Bakura said in Ahimish. In his mind, Sha're talked back to him.
"But what about the girl, Anzu? She's hurt badly and needs medical attention. And just because everybody knows who you are, even though they don't know you're still alive, you need to get Ryou. I cannot land right now, you'll be in danger", Sha're said. Bakura mumbled something under his breath. Sha're always thought she knew better.
"You know why I need Ryou. If somebody else sees me, I'm dead!", Bakura practically yelled at the fire-red Dragon. Anzu murmured something and Bakura could feel her shift against him. He didn't dare to leave Anzu in Sha're's paws. Not because it was dangerous, more because the girl would scream if she would wake up. Sha're sighed, clearly not accepting her defeat, and started to land. Anzu blinked with her blue eyes and looked around. She was held by a stranger, she could feel the wind passing her face. Her body shook when they clearly hit something and the stranger held her protectively, making sure she wouldn't fall.
"What are you doing?", she asked softly. Bakura looked down at Anzu. He got off Sha're, who lay down in the grass, comforted by the warming sun. Anzu tried to stand on her feet. She felt a coat around her torn body and she looked at it. The black coat was warmed by the sun and Anzu smiled at the warmth that surrounded her. Bakura placed the girl down into the grass. They sat for a moment in silence.
"You're not Ryou", Anzu then suddenly said. She knew she had called this man that way. And she hoped the man understood she had been wrong.
"I know. Ryou is my little brother though. My name is Bakura", the man said in perfect English. Bakura had never spoken this language before and it did feel strange to his tongue. Anzu looked at him, not knowing what to do.
"I will bring you to Ryou. He needs to help you with your wounds", Bakura said as he rose up. The hairs in his neck stood on end. He knew that feeling, something was coming. Something very unpleasant. Anzu looked at him and then tried to raise up too. Bakura helped her somewhat unkindly, as he then led her back to Sha're.
"Stay here", he ordered. Anzu looked back at him, somewhat angered. The Dragon moved behind her and Anzu turned around, falling back onto the floor again. Her legs were wobbly and she didn't feel well. Especially when the Dragon hoovered over her. Nobody said a word, but Anzu looked at Bakura who looked around too.
"YOU!!!!", a voice yelled through the peaceful, but tense air. A woman landed behind Bakura and next to Anzu. The Dragon roared and she tried to hit the woman with her fire-red tail. Anzu looked up at the woman, her eyes filled with fear. Bakura turned around and his red/brown eyes were filled with shock and anger. How dare this woman?
"P- Please! L- Leave m- me be!", Anzu said as she tried to scurry away from the woman who had tortured her so much. Purple eyes looked at her; death written in those eyes. Shinna's eyes were mere slits, filled with rage.
"You told them I would come!!", Shinna called out. Anzu shook her head and tried to get away. Bakura fired a fireball at the Goddess. Anzu scurried backwards towards Bakura, trying to find protection at someone's side. She wasn't good at Magic, she couldn't do anything, she had never been thaught how. Tears of fear streamed down her face and Anzu broke down crying.
Shinna had defended herself against Bakura's Magic and then send an attack of her own back. Bakura was too late to defend himself and Anzu. Anzu flew backwards, her head hitting the ground harshly. Bakura rose up as soon as he could. He sooo didn't like this woman!
"Get out of here Witch!!", Bakura called and Sha're roared once again. Fire-breath was aimed at Shinna and the Goddess flew aside to avoid being burned. Still, a small flame licked at her arm, leaving a red mark. Shinna looked at him.
"Leave here, Pyro. This is something between me and that girl!", Shinna said, venom dripping from her voice. Bakura looked at her and then smirked.
"You're hurt, why should I believe you? Why should I believe you have such great power? You cannot defeat me... Not in the state you are now, Witch!!", Bakura yelled at the Goddess. Shinna growled low in her throat, but when Sha're roared again, Shinna looked from the Dragon to the albino Mage.
Instead of watching Anzu.
--
"Anzu?", a soft voice asked Anzu's mind. Anzu opened her eyes, her head was heavy and her eyelids too. A small lightbead sat beside her and Anzu looked into the sweetest face she had ever seen. A small girl looked at her, brown hair secured in a long braid and curious brown eyes. Anzu looked back and tried to smile. She couldn't move, just seeing the small girl sit in front of her. Small wings fluttered weakly.
"Do I know you?", Anzu asked back, using a link in her mind she didn't knew was there. The girl smiled at her.
"I wished we had had more time to get to know each other. Still, I'm here now, don't worry. You won't be alone", the Fairy said softly. Anzu smiled this time.
"Who are you? You're so sweet", Anzu murmured in the back of her mind.
"My name is Yobrun, it means 'Sweetling'. I'm your Lifeliner, Anzu. And I had hoped we had had more time. But don't worry, I don't mind. I'm with you now", Yobrun said. Her brown eyes were sparkling in the sun. Far away, Anzu could hear a Dragon roar.
"Bakura", went through her mind, but she could only see the small Fairy in front of her. A small, really small hand touched her cheek and softly whiped at her tears. Then suddenly, rough hands turned her body. She saw a face and smiled again.
"Bakura", she murmured. Bakura yelled something at her, but she only heard the Fairy talk to her.
"He was very sweet, trying to help you. I'm sorry Anzu", the small Fairy said. Bakura looked at the Fairy too and his face went into sadness. The anger vanished from his eyes as he saw the Fairy cuddle up to Anzu. Very softly, when he saw that Anzu tried to move, he took her hand in his own. He brought her hand towards the Fairy and the Fairy cuddled under it. Near Anzu's cheek that had no bloody cut in it.
"Thank you", Anzu murmured, not seeing anything but the Fairy. Yobrun's light was dying out. Bakura couldn't smile at the thankful words. Sha're lay down behind Anzu. Her wings folded, letting the sun touch Anzu's skin with warmth.
"You will be well", Bakura said softly. Anzu looked at the Fairy, everything was darkening. But still, Anzu smiled. The pain was gone and the darkness was soothing. Very calm, even though she felt cold.
--
"She's gone. I couldn't protect her", Sha're murmured. Bakura looked at his Dragon, up from Anzu's dead body. And away from the sweet sight of a Fairy cuddling next Anzu's face.
"MARIK!!!!!!", was the only thing Bakura yelled at the sunny sky.
-My story: Nice.. We'll get destruction and co. into the story. (Bakura and Marik look at my story)
