Chapter 5: Life After Death
There were many onlookers. Friends, family and aquaintances all gathered to mourn the death of a young boy, brutally murdered at the hands of the enemy. An identical twin of the dead one walked up to the coffin, his face pale and his jaw set stubbornly. His crimson eyes were a stark contrast, though, full of hidden emotions that he'd rather not talk of.
He lifted a chain necklace over his head. Dangling in plain view was a golden, pyramid-shaped puzzle engraved with an eye in the center, probably very valuable. Indeed, it was an Ancient Egyptian artifact, the eye was one of Thoth, the god responsible for dispelling the dark with knowledge.[1] 'But all the knowledge on Heaven and Earth won't save him now.' the teen thought bitterly.
He took of his white shirt [2] and immediately, ebony wings unfurled themselves gracefully from his back. He held the mysterious trinket in his hands and began chanting intelligible words, possibly another language. The puzzle flared and when the blinding streams of light ceased, two of the ornaments were to be seen.
He gently placed the little pyramid around the dead child's neck. "Now, wherever your soul may wander, you can speak with me." Tears ran unchecked down his sickly white face now. "Maybe you can find a way back to us...Yuugi."
***********
'Where am I?' he thought. A beautiful Greek backdrop, sweet scented flowers, and the average person talking, flooded his senses. He hastily scrambled to his feet, but as the saying goes, "what goes up, most come down." In this case, he was sprawled on his butt because something large and heavy had shifted his internal center of balance. Actually, two large somethings. Two large, feathery somethings. 'Wings!' he was mortified and exstatic at the thought. Yuugi knew he was dead, but it didn't seem all that bad.
Now that the initial shock had faded, he noticed that his and Yugioh's wings were utterly and completely different. Besides the obvious colour, of course. Yami's were long and thin, while Yuugi's were slighly shorter and much broader. Blunter as well. But they were white. Like every other angel. He stifled a cry of horror. This was Heaven. He mentally kicked himself. How could he have been so blind? [AN: Because I wrote him that way! MUHUWAHAHA!]
He remembered when his Yami-chan had told him and his friends everything about the gods. "Osiris is the god who judges your rights and wrongs-" the small boy sighed. He could almost hear the King of Games' deep, sincere vocals. "-He would make sure that the bad would work for him in the Underworld, or Hell, as you may call it. The good would serve him in Heaven. If a case was really bad, he'd send the soul directly to the Shadow Realm."
'But if the whole Council is out for Yami-chan, then why not send me to Hell for being an accomplice?' he absentmindedly fingered the Millenium Puzzle, looked down and smiled in silent gratitude. He decided to dismiss it, before the idea gave him a headache.
An unexpected squeal and a hug [^______^] caught the tri-haired teen off guard, knocking him over. He frantically tried to get away as something furry rubbed into him and purred. He struggled from the awesome hold until a disgruntled snort brought the "thing" to a halt.
"Ah, sorry!" A female's voice proclaimed as the weight lessened when the form jumped back. Yuugi turned around to see a human sized she-cat kneeling next to him, and a brunette teenager staring at them both, disgusted. The neko's fur was that of a common orange tabby and her bright eyes were more golden than all the jewelery she wore. She smirked and chuckled seductively. White fangs protruded from her mouth, just as sharp as the claws she had painted a deep blackish purple. "Hello, I am Bastet," she purred deep in her throat, "and this-" she gestured to the young man, "-is Sethkare."
He took a closer look at this 'Sethkare.' He was wearing royal blue robes in an Egyptian style, which accented his cobalt eyes that seemed to miss, as well as hold, nothing. He nodded curtly to Yuugi, his brown hair bobbing slightly. His eyes met the other's and it sent shivers down Yuugi's spine. The gaze was piercing right through him.
Bastet could sense the newly dead boy's anxiety, so she did her best to change the subject. "So! We need to know your name now."
'That guy probably already knows my name. I bet he can read minds...' Yuugi thought, paranoia setting in. "O-ore wa Mutou Yuugi-kun desu." he anwered, distracted.
"Have you just died?"
"A-aa..."
"Oh, I thought so. It would be kind of creepy if you hadn't, since you couldn't even get up without falling over. I thought it might be some new disease that that traitor, Yugioh, brought in to kill us all again-"
Both the tri-colour haired angel and Sethkare bristled at this. Yuugi sensed this and looked over to the young man. He discreetly nodded his head. Yuugi snorted, but smiled dispite of himself. 'He's _got_ to be psychic."
***********
'Blood, blood, everywhere...Ugh, that sounds like some line in one of them morbid poems...' Jounouchi thought he would vomit. Again. He had become a strict vegetarian after that first battle and he would bet dollars to doughnuts that many others had followed his lead. He sighed and gazed out the window of the Parisian apartment. After Yuugi's death, Yugioh had thrown himself and, evidently, the the entire world into a rebellion. He, Anzu and Honda -being Yugioh's closest friends and witnesses to the fight between Atlas and the fallen angel-were stationed on a different continent to help relay the King of Games' orders.
Jounouchi was alone in Paris and had just finished an exasperating meeting with the highest ranking authorities all over Europe.
Anzu was in North America, more for soothing the public's nerves than taking up arms. 'She'll do so if necessary, though.' the blond thought.
Honda was in Africa, recruiting as many able-bodied men and women as he could find. He also kept Australia in check through long distance, pre-paid telephone calls.
Yami was their leader and he had it worst, that opinion was unanimous. He controlled Asia and invented all it's battle strategies, also, all decisions from around the world went through him. Jou pitied him. He had shut himself up and put on his game face, because no word had come from Yuugi. He believed it was his fault. Anzu spent all night writing up a pep talk, but even she couldn't get him to forgive himself.
He saw children playing in a park far below. 'I was one of them once. Then, even Yami was happy, though there were threats on the world...I saw Shizuka-chan daily...Yuugi was still alive...' He walked away from the window, tears running freely down his face. "...not anymore..."
************
Small flames flickered and bounced from finger to finger. "That's wonderful!" Bastet squealed and pounced on him for the umpteenth time in ten minutes. The victim sighed and patted her shoulder, signalling she ought to get off. By now, he had gotten used to it. Over the course of six months, the cunning goddess had made the boy an ace flyer, a great spear thrower, and actually put some muscles on the kid. For that, he was thankful enough. Now the crazy bitch [ ^o^;;; A female cat's called a queen.] wanted to make him a Grade A spellcaster, for some twisted reason. 'Probably to glomp me more.' Yuugi thought.
That night, Yuugi flew around the back of an old, decrepit, Roman-style berlesque house for his real lessons. His trainer, although creepy enough, was none other than the only angel that knew what was really going on between Yugioh and the gods. He was his closest friend and rival in life and in death. His High Priest. Sethkare.
Yuugi smiled internally. It was so easy to get information out of Bastet. Puppy dog eyes, pouty faces and a few bottles of wine'll get her every time.
Unlike regular angels, Sethkare evolved with the times on Earth. His favourite hobby was taking human technology and improving it, either by tinkering with it or enfusing it with magic. That alone made him a very useful ally.
The small angel was now consentrating hard, trying to Summon one of the more powerful banished magics. The holy barrier, Mirror Force.
"They were real, living, breathing creatures once. The Earth was really their natural home." he remembered the cold mentor explaining to Yuugi. "Unfortunately, the gods sealed them in the Shadow Realm, creating the Duel Monster cards as a coverup. Monsters have a magical link through the cards, and only a very powerful person could control them after summoning. The ones that were able to became victorious and they in turn became Pharaoh."
Sethkare may have weaved the tale offhandedly, but it tore at Yuugi to hear the Council had also condemned the Duel Monsters. 'They stripped them of their hopes, their dreams, their pride, their lives.' he sobered at the sadistic thought that twirled around his concious mind. 'That sounds just like us...'
