Thank you everyone for info on cards! And PrincessSapphire....the site didn't work o.O;;;
But it's the thought that counts!
Doesn't this chapter have a lovely name? If anyone knows Monty Python and an episode called "Dead Parrot" that's where the line is from (I think)...SO DON'T SUE! Sorry. Couldn't resist using that line...it just popped into my head....I don't like watching Monty Python, I just like that one episode....I'll stick up another Disclaimer when I actually own anything other then the name Akei...
ONE MORE THING! I'm soooo LUCKY! The episode of Evil Spirit of The Ring was on yesterday, so I took at least SOME notes on what some of the cards were...though...the two only have like two attack monsters....
******
[Are you SURE you're ok?] Akei pestered as the group trudged through the sand towards the city of silence.
{YES OK?! I. Am. Fine. Stop asking me!}
'Why do I even bother? It always gets worse when I bother....' Akei rolled his eyes slightly and grumbled, staring into the sand. "Doesn't seem to have changed a bit."
"What do you mean?" Yugi tuned his head to him.
"Still hot. Still dreary. Still has sand." He paused. "At least there is one good thing."
"What?" And STILL Yugi was curious.
"The city is drained of its idiots."
Yami's eyes went wide and he stiffened, arriving into a halt before turning around to glare at Akei like the yami was about to die. "Damn you." He spat. "DAMN YOU!"
/Yami, calm down!/
Yugi's dark half ignored the boy and stepped forward to grab Akei and lift him off the ground.
"Yami don't!" Bakura protested, looking to his yami who was unwilling to fight back....this surprised the hikari. 'He has changed a lot...'
"Let GO Pharaoh!!" Akei squirmed, but Yami refused to let go and began to choke Akei.
"Don't you EVER insult the people of Thebes or Cairo, WHATEVER!!!"
/Yami STOP please, you're going to kill him!!/
//That's the point!//
/Yami I know he insulted Egypt, he insults EVERYTHING though, it's his nature! You can't kill him for that, you have to.......you have to stop..../ Yugi lowered his head in sadness as Yami continued choking the other dark side.
Bakura shook his head slowly and let his gaze fall to the ring. 'It worked last time when I wanted to help him...maybe the ring will come through for me again?' Bakura closed his eyes and focused on his dark side and the ring.
The Millennium item began to glow, causing all sets of eyes to stare over at him. When Yami refocused back to the one he was attempting to kill....he blinked when Akei had vanished. "What the..?!"
"Yami. I will not let you try to kill him. You KNOW his ways and it's nothing to try to kill him over." Bakura said as he opened his eyes, the ring dropping its glow.
"W-where is he?" Yami whispered, his temper slowly reaching normal.
"His soul room."
Yami and Yugi simply blinked.
[How......how did you...? I thought you couldn't work....the ring.....] Akei asked with a soft voice, half from astonishment and half from trying to get air into his lungs.
{I thought that BEFORE I used it to take us to the Shadow Realm. I finally figured out that the ring responded to me wanting to defend you, or at least do something I believed in. So I tried it again...believed in having the ring pull you to your soul room...and it worked!}
[............ ............. ..........Thanks.]
Bakura smiled.
Yami finally cooled down. "Are you two going to keep mentally going at it or can we actually keep..._moving_?"
"Sorry.."
Yami looked up and just realized Yugi was a distance ahead of them, already walking towards the city. "Aibou wait up! Hey Bakura, tell Akei I'm sorry, I just kind of......lost it."
"No problem! Now let's go!" Bakura ran after Yugi, slightly slower though for the fact since his yami was in his soul room, Bakura had the duel disc.
{Yami apolo-}
[I heard.]
{Aren't you coming out?}
[Not until we reach the city.]
{Why are you so lazy?}
[.....]
******
The group of three (Akei still in his soul room), trudged into the empty city. It really was evacuated, not a soul in sight. In a way....that was a good thing.
{Yami will you come out now...?}
[.....]
{Onegai...?}
Bakura could hear Akei grumble, but the former tomb robber emerged besides him anyway, arms folded in annoyance. Bakura sighed at the sight of his yami, scanning his eyes around and feeling a chill shiver its way down his spine. He swore he heard growl again, but ignored it to the fact no one else seemed to hear anything. "Now what do we do?"
"It seems that the palace is still standing, we should go there and at least set the food there too and then go figure what to do after." Yami said aloud, his sharp ruby eyes locked on the palace.
((A/N: I have no idea what Cairo is like, so bare with me...I figure ya got a large path/sand road before the group that leads to the large palace and then on the sides of the road are all of the houses and stores and such....Back to the story!))
Akei stared down at the duel disc attached to him and once again grumbled, brushing past his hikari and heading towards the palace without another word. He hated that place. He always had and always will. Can he be blamed though? He was sealed in the ring there, the place that thrown him into eternal darkness until Bakura unlocked the power....
{Hey....you ok?} Bakura looked over at his sulking yami with a worried expression. They still had a distance to the castle, going slow to check their surroundings. Yugi and Yami remained silent, Bakura figured they were talking with the mental link by the way Yugi seemed to space out every so often. And him and his yami? Well, Bakura was just confused.
[No.]
Bakura blinked. {What's wrong...?}
[Nothing.]
{But you just said you weren't-}
[Leave me alone.]
{I will if you tell me what's wrong.}
Akei kept his gaze at the ground and away from everyone, as Bakura checked where it was aimed moments before. The palace. {You're afraid, aren't you?}
No responds.
{Don't ignore me!}
Yugi peered back at the two, taking in Akei's sudden reluctance and Bakura's annoyed look. 'I'm just staying out of this...' Akei's silence through the link went on for a few more minutes and Bakura continued trying to get him to talk, but nothing was working. The light finally got slightly angered and stepped infront of his dark half, grabbing his shoulders to force Akei to look at him.
"Will you answer me already?!"
Akei blinked and broke Bakura's hold, moving past him and besides Yami. Though, all he wanted to do was stay where he was and let the others go to the palace. That wasn't going to happen though. Bakura grinned and followed behind his yami who seemingly could answer Yami but not him.
"What's your problem?"
"What do you think?!"
Almost as an automatic responds, Yami looked from Akei to the palace and mumbled. "Oh."
/Oh? What's "oh"?/
//He doesn't want to go back.//
/...Why?/
//Aibou. That's where he was sealed in the ring.//
/Oh I get it./
"Ok, since everyone seems to know what's going on here except me, could SOMEONE explain what's wrong with my yami?"
Yami looked over to him. "Why don't you ask him yourself...?"
"I _did_."
The former pharaoh sighed and just shook his head mumbling. "Akei just tell him..."
[How would you like going back someplace where you were sealed into darkness?] Akei finally gave into answering and waited for Bakura's responds. Surely the boy couldn't be THAT dim to not figure out what he meant.
{Oh.....I didn't....oh..} ((A/N: Word of the day: OH! Lol.))
******
The group pushed through the solid doors and entered, food and all. Yugi's eyes widened in amazement, scanning the open area. They were in a circular room, having four halls lead from it. Yami took the lead down one of the four, searching for a certain room. He stopped by a double door and pushed his body against it to hear it creak open. The room was another circular shape, equipped with two beds, a rug, and a good sized square window with view of the city. "We can stay in this room, it's amazing how nothing has seemed to change..."
Bakura and Yugi dropped the bags of food and the silver-haired walked to look out the window. "The dig was near here....I just don't understand how the city could be effected...."
He did a double take on the city, thinking he had heard something, and saw something as well. The boy shook his head and looked around the room to see Yugi and Yami...not in it. "Where'd the other two go?"
"Yami wanted to look around and Yugi followed."
"Oh....well I think I need some....rest....Wake me later, onegai." Bakura mumbled and crawled into one of the two beds. Akei watched as his light fell quickly asleep. 'Sure leave me to make sure he wakes up....'
******
Yami and Yugi returned awhile later and looked right at Bakura. Yugi blinked a few times and then looked over to Akei. "What's wrong with him, is he ok..?!"
"Quiet. It's not like he's dead, he's just resting!" Akei spat, mainly wanting the two to stay silent....
******
Ok. That was a lame chapter....I promise, NEXT chapter will be some action, promise promise promise!
The Egyptian palace is probably as a museum, don't you think? Well. In this, it isn't, and let's just say it's almost perfectly intact, ok? For the sake of the fic! ¬___¬;;;
I think I've lost it.
But it's the thought that counts!
