Yami was standing by a large window and was looking outside without having something specific in mind. To tell the truth he had so much in his mind that he didn't know what to think first, like the Fallen ones' behavior for example. He still couldn't take it out of his mind that someone could be controlling them. Then he remembered Mokuba. That beaten up little body that didn't have the strength even to shiver inside his dark, wet cell. He turned his face inside, towards the walls with the hieroglyphics. He was feeling something. It was as if they were calling him… "Come". Like hypnotized he responded. He touched the wall with his palm. Then, like a cinematographic movie, another image passed before his eyes. It was so strange and at the same time so familiar! It was that child that looked like him. This time it was a bit younger, around seven years old, and it was running inside the garden laughing and yelling happily.
"You can't catch me!" he was yelling in his laughter.
The strange thing was the language. Just like his previous vision, every single character was speaking in a strange language. It was, though, a language that he was translating it in his mind automatically. The little boy kept laughing, it turned around and started running towards the opposite direction to fall in the arms of that tall man he had seen in his previous vision.
"I win again father!" the little boy said
The scene changed again. Now the boy, in the age around thirteen years old, was squatted down on the floor. The room was full with countless shelves with papyruses. The boy had on his crossed legs a papyrus and he was reading it. He heard footsteps and he raised his head to see the same black-haired man in the torches' light.
"Keep studying, my son, because sometimes mind is stronger than the sword"
"Yes, Father"
"Knowledge, my son. Knowledge is power"
The vision was over. Yami raised his hand to his head, confused.
"It happened again!" he turned back to the window, "What's the meaning of all this?"
The sun started to appear, half, behind the tops of the trees. Then Yami saw something. Without a second of delay he forgot everything else and started to go down the stairs to go out
The tower seemed much more different from the backside. Except of some blackberry bushes and some wild-strawberries there were no other trees and if there were some, thy were too little and really a few, you could count them with the fingers of one hand, and they seem to be coming out of the small bushes, in great distance the one from the other. It was leading to downhill that seemed like a cliff but it had a spectacular view to the big forest and the river, hundreds of meters below. There, at the edge of the cliff, was a white kiosk covered by the climbing rose.
Although it was almost winter, the crimson like blood roses were at full bloom, with a dew-drop shining like a diamond on every one of the thousands rose-petals. And there…among the roses, was standing the most beautiful creature Yami ever laid eyes on. Tea. She was leaning her body on the marble bench inside the kiosk and she was admiring the sun that was rising, the river and the forest below her feet. For Yami it wouldn't be difficult to consider her as the most beautiful and the most rare rose in the world.
Over her shoulders she was wearing a long, till her ankles, cape for the cold. It was crimson-red like the roses around her and glossy like silk. It was soft and thin and by the way it was hanging from her shoulders, it seemed like it was made by liquid, red blood. She hadn't put the hood on and this allowed her shining hair waving freely, framing her eyes. Oh, those eyes! The light breeze was waving her cape…it was waving her hair… What a dream! What a divine creature! His legs, as if they had their own will, leaded his body towards her. His heart was flattering. Wrong! It was bounding! It was beating loudly with longing and happiness…relief for seeing her again! He stepped into the kiosk.
"Anzu…" he whispered.
She turned around and her face lit up from joy.
"My beloved!" she cried out and rushed in his arms.
He wrapped his strong arms around her. He pulled her close to him. How much had he desired her! How much had he missed her!
"At last!…" he whispered
Tea felt melting in his arms. How much had she missed him! His voice…his strong arms embracing her…his heart beat… She moved a little to look at him deeply in his eyes. She raised her white hand to caress his cheek. Just her touch was able to make him dizzy…but when her lips touched his… He got dizzy…Intoxicated…Love took over him… He kissed her passionately as if a terrible, thousand-year war had kept them apart. When they pulled back she kept her eyes closed for some seconds. She opened them…slowly. Yami got lost inside them. She was admiring his. How much power…how much deepness had it been inside those dark levanter eyes! She was feeling fragile in front of him. Her heart was flattering…he smiled listening to it.
"Your eyes are pure sapphires…" he said and he was meaning it!
She just giggled and her cheeks got pink.
"I heard that Marik is back! You did it!"
"It was nothing"
"Eh, not nothing! You put so much in danger and you reunited two brothers!"
Her voice was enchanting him. What he had been through to save Marik, he didn't even care! He had his reward right in front of him!
"My love…" he whispered before kissing her again.
That kiss lasted more than the previous one. When they pulled back, Yami leaned forward to kiss her neck.
"You haven't told anything to Yugi, have you?"
"No!" he answered as if he couldn't believe she had actually asked him that question.
However he immediately regretted his harsh response.
"No…" he said again, this time softly, in a whisper, "But one day he must know…"
Tea didn't let him to talk. She kissed him again. He just surrendered with no second thought…
From a window Ishizu was watching the two lovers with her sharp, blue eyes…
The sweet notes coming from a harp were echoing within a large royal-rich bathroom. Inside the huge bathtub steaming hot water smelled an expensive soap. Bakura was lieing inside it enjoying the hot water against his body along with the sound of the music. A smug smirk was frozen on his face. A black-dressed vampire entered the bathroom. Bakura didn't seem to be bothered at all.
"Sir, Yami Muto was here! He took Marik!"
Bakura smirked again.
"But of course."
"You knew?"
"Of course. Ishizu thought she would stop me. But she was wrong. And she wasn't the only one"
His eyes glowed red. He grinned revealing his fangs.
"It appears that Yami didn't pay attention to my warning. Now he will suffer the consequences!"
And without saying another word he jumped out of the water and sank his fangs harshly in the throat of his vampire servant that brought him these news…
Morning had come for good and Yugi along with Yami were ready to go. All the vampires were there to see them leave. Yami's eye stopped on Tea. His gaze, without his will, remained stuck on her, thankfully without anyone notice. Well…anyone but…
"Yami" Ishizu said
Yami turned and looked at her
"…If you really wish to keep it a secret don't look at her like that!"
Yami wasn't surprised by her comment! Of course she knew. He simply lowered his head.
"Was I really that obvious?"
"Yes. I believe you were quite obvious"
"You won't tell anyone, right?"
"No. I know how to keep secrets. It is your choice, not mine and is none of my business"
"Thank you" he said dryly and passed by her.
"Yami…"
He stopped without turning around to look at her.
"…Be careful. Sometimes love can hurt you really badly."
Yami remained in his position for a couple of seconds. Next he went to Yugi.
"Come, Yugi. Let's go home." He said and taking Yugi's hand, they started taking the downhill path together.
Ishizu and Marik remained there watching them while they were walking away.
"Do you believe that in the end he is the one we were looking for?"
"Yes." Ishizu nodded, "There is something on this young man that can't be described and the mystery that is covering him is unbreakable but I feel that even if he is Newly Born one, he has great power that can stop the evil. It's his destiny. Our paths are meant to be crossed again…"
She looked towards the sky.
"…Yami…"
Well...here is the next Chappie! I hope you liked it!
Sorry for taking so long!
Well another Revolutionshipping moment! Haters of the payring don't hate me!
Tea was wearing a cape like the one appearing in "Red Riding Hood" book cover
Uh-Oh! Bakura is up to something! What would be? Wait the next chapter to find out!
Thank you for reading till now!
