The Ring waits. Part-6
Okay the author here. JJ ::Waves:: I decided on Seto's past name as Setau. I decided on Bakura's past name as Bakenmut. This is my idea on these names so if you wish to use it for your fic please ask me first, Thank you.
The boy was tired and hot. He was worried he wouldn't make back to the Oasis in time. He knew that once they found the Puzzle missing they would be on their way to kill the Pharaoh. The green palm trees came into view. The boy drew the last of his strength and ran to his true king.
It was Yugi that saw the boy come into the camp. Yugi ran to him as he fell to the ground. "Joey!!! Setau!!! Lisa!!! Come quick!!!" Lisa came running to see Yugi holding the boy and the boy holding a bag. "He got it, Lisa but I think he gave his life to do it."
Yugi was crying. Setau appeared and knelt beside Yugi and the boy. He began to chat. "Nooo... I'm all right. You need all your strength. Bakenmut is coming... Now!!!" Joey and Yami showed up now. "Ya mean an army is coming now." The boy nodded.
He raised the bag to Yami. "Your Puzzle, my Pharaoh." Yami slowly sank down into the sand and took the bag into his hands. He opened the bag, took out the golden Puzzle and placed it back around his neck. "Setau, look after the boy the best way you can. I'll get the Guards ready for battle." Lisa grabbed his arm. "Just remember, we've got to delay them for a time so you get your strength back." Yami nodded to her.
The Puzzle began to glow. Yami hugged it. He was happy it was back but there was something different. The Puzzle was asking questions about what had been going on. It felt a change in him and asked why? He told it about the strangers and how they found out that Bakenmut had the Ring. The Puzzle filled him with warm energy. Yami then hurried to gather the troops. Lisa helped Setau with the boy to the Pharaoh's tent.
Joey was helping Yugi up. "Are you okay, Yugi?" Yugi was rubbing his eyes. "Ah I was just..." Joey hugged his friend. "Let's get ready for the worse okay." Yugi looked up into Joey's brown eyes. "We make it Joey I know we will." Yugi got up and followed Joey to the Pharaoh tent.
Bakenmut's anger has grown since he found out the Puzzle was gone. He knew he made his last mistake leaving that boy alive. It had to be him that came to get the Puzzle. But who would be smart enough to use the boy?
Not even Yami would be able to swallow his pride to ask the boy to do this for him. He wanted to scream out his anger. The one thing he was going to do was drain that Yugi of all his energy. Yugi's power was like a magnet to him. He wanted him so badly right now. The person that Hor gave him was not enough but it helped.
An image came to him. Silver hair. That woman!!! It had to be her that thought of using the boy. She wasn't normal to begin with. A woman that had nerve to hit him of all people. She would be fun to destroy or better yet... just to have fun with her mind. A grin filled his face. Then there was the last member of that group, what to do to that tall blonde teen? Hor can have his fun with him. Let the Priest have fun for a time.
Hor came up behind Bakenmut. "The men are a bit tired right now, Lord Bakenmut. Can we stop for a moment to rest and then they be ready to attack when we arrive at the oasis." Bakenmut didn't want to stop but a tired army wasn't a good thing at the beginning of a battle. "They have five minutes, to rest." Hor nodded and turn to talk to the men. He stood there on the dune. The wind was picking up. He frowned. Did he have the gods' approval in this battle? He gripped the Ring.
"I will win this and have all I want. Yami will die." His shouts echo across the sands.
Lisa had left the others to look after the boy to find Yami. She felt the wind picking up. She didn't like the feeling she was getting. Should she and the others be here or were they changing the past. "Someone tell me if we are doing the right thing." She whispered on the wind. "Did you say something?" She turned around and came face to face with Yami. "Just worried about what's going to happen soon." Yami drank in Lisa's face. He couldn't get over how she looked. "Are you sure you aren't a god?" Lisa blushed, which made Yami blush. "No. I'm no God. Neither is Joey or Yugi. Something brought us here to do something but, I don't know what we should do."
"I hope you know what the right thing is too, Lisa." She looked into those ruby eyes. -It may be the only time. I would see Yami look at me with innocent eyes.-
"Maybe you should check on Setau and the boy."
"Setau can look after himself. I..." Lisa glared at him. "Just leave me alone." She stomped off. -I can't let feelings start bugging me right now. Then there is Joey's feelings as well.-
"Lisa... Please I need to talk to you." Lisa turn to look into Yami's blood ruby eyes. Yami tried to say something but Lisa put her finger on his lips. "Don't... First, I love someone else." She noted a look of disapointment in his eyes. "Second thing Yami, we are going to vanish once we do what we have to do." Then look of fear came into his eyes. "Calm down. I didn't mean to scare you."
"I'm the Pharaoh and I say what goes and I don't want you, Yugi or Joey to leave, Never!!!" He turned and ran. -Darn!!!! Why do I say these things. I never dreamed we would leave a mark like that on him. I mean from the way he acts he's mister cold heart all the time.- Lisa went after him. She found him by the pool of water.
"I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings Yami. I didn't come here by choice." He looked up at her. Lisa was taken aback a little seeing tears coming down his face. "I want you all to stay. For the first time in my life..."
Sighs!!! "I know you don't want to feel lonely Yami. I've been there myself."
"Then why can't you all stay with me."
"It doesn't always work out the way you want." Lisa sat down beside him. Yami put his head on Lisa's shoulder. "I just can't say when the time is up for Yugi, Joey and myself." The Puzzle around Yami's neck glowed. Lisa touched her Ankh. -On my own and so is Yugi, even though Yami is here.- She looked down at the Pharaoh. Sleep had caught up to him. -Let's hope we pull this little war off or it's game over for all of us.-
Joey showed up. "Lisa is Yami okay." Lisa rubbed Yami's head. "Well it seems the Pharaoh wants us to stay forever with him and Setau." Joey looked at her and then at Yami. "Ya got to be kidding."
"Nope. He wants us to stay." Yami moved a bit in Lisa's arms. "I told him we can't stay. Even if we want to." Lisa closed her eyes. "Why is this happening?"
"I wish I knew how to answer that question too." Lisa opened her eyes to see Joey's brown eyes wanting something from her. "I promise soon, okay Joey? Why are you out here anyways?" The wind was picking up speed. "Setau sent me out to find him."
"Well help me to get him back to his tent then." Joey grinned in a silly way. He took Yami into his arms. A moan came from his lips. "We best get back to the tent then." Lisa stood up and followed Joey to the Pharaoh's tent. The wind then started to blow hard and fast as they entered the tent.
Bakenmut and Hor had to move quickly as the sand storm started up. The gods were acting up. He didn't know who the gods were mad at. The storm would affect him and Yami's army. Luckily they had some cloth with them to help shelter them from the storm. He hoped Yami was having more trouble than he was right now. He gripped the Ring. It was growing impatient for the coming battle. He soothed it with rubs and kisses. "Soon my Ring, you will have the energy of the Pharaoh and that boy Yugi." He kissed it again and then went into the man-shift tent.
Setau was relieved that Joey found Yami. His surprise was Lisa coming into the tent as well. "So you were with him all this time." He looked at Lisa. "I was looking for him too. Then he showed and..."
"What happened Lisa?" Lisa turned around and looked at Yugi. "His Highness got upset when I told him we would have to leave."
"Why would you leave?" Setau looked at the teens. "Like I told Yami. We were brought here by something and I don't know when our time is up." Setau knew she was right but he too didn't want them to leave either. "Then it's up to the gods if you stay or go."
"Let's hope the gods let us help you and Yami with Bakenmut and Hor." Yugi had taken hold of Lisa's long black coat. Setau smiled. "I hope so too, Yugi." Yugi gave Setau a warm smile. -I wish he and the others could stay too but, it's up to the gods in the end what going to happen next.- Joey had placed Yami on his bed. The boy was on Setau's bed. "What's going to happen to the boy now that he's gotten the Puzzle back from Bakenmut?" Joey was putting a lion skin on top of Yami. "Well he has revoked his loyalty from Bakenmut. So I will look after him now."
"Glad to hear that Setau." Lisa was now sitting on a wooden seat. Yugi was sitting beside her. Joey had sat down beside Yami. "So what do you think Bakenmut is doing right now?"
"If he's smart? He stays out of the storm and attack us just as it ends."
"I agree with your words Lisa." Setau sat down beside Yami and Joey on a wooden stool beside the bed. "Let's just hope this storm does more damage to him than us." The wind's screams sounded like lost souls. Yugi shook all over. "Are you alright Yugi?" Joey spoke up. "It sounds like the dead out there looking for someone to take away." Yugi looked down to the ground. Setau got up and walked over to Yugi. "Calm down Yugi. There isn't anything to be scare of."
"Setau's right Yugi. Don't worry, we're here too with you." Joey's voice made Yugi feel better. "Let's get ready then for the battle that will come after the storm." Lisa pulled out her deck. They nodded and pulled out their decks as Setau went back to the scroll to read it again. Yami's Puzzle was glowing all this time. It seemed to be listening to the teens and Setau.
What's going to happen to Yami when he faces Bakenmut, will Setau be able to cast the spell in the heat of battle and what will be Yugi's, Lisa's and Joey's part in the battle yet to come?
