Chapter 6
Starry Night (part 2)
"Ughh." Kara groaned, she opened her eyes and could see the night sky. She lay still for a few minutes studying the stars, she then tried to sit up but a sharp ache in her ribs prohibited her to do so. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, what do you think you are doing?" a familiar gentle but firm voice asked. She felt someone gently push her back on the ground. When she got her bearings, she opened her eyes again to get a look at her rescuer, "Yugi? Is that you?" she asked slightly embarrassed and surprised. Yami looked at her and responded, "Yes it is.. You were extremely lucky that I happened to be passing through." Embarrassed to no ends Kara groaned again, "by the way," he started, smiling good-naturedly "you have a pretty nasty bruise on your ribs"; pinker than ever in her life in her life she asked horrified "You checked!?!" "I had to check the extent of your injuries" Yami pleased by her reaction, responded gently. Kara closed her eyes hoping that by doing so he would somehow disappear, she opened her eyes again "oh you're still there!" She groaned louder and more pitiful than the last two times, Yami chuckled at her antics. Then the silence of the night claimed them for a few minutes. Kara could feel that she was lying on grass, she looked up at the countless stars, and a warm wind blew gently on the wildflowers surrounding herself and Yami. 'Oh this is so beautiful' she thought to herself. She looked over at Yami who was looking at her expectantly, "what?" she asked, and then she knew. "There are three things I'd like to know, one: who was that girl. Two why did I find you fighting with swords and three: would you care to explain that?" Yami pointed at her still glowing Millennium Scales. She looked at him pleadingly, searching for a nonexistent way out. She eased herself up in a sitting position, she looked around; she saw that they were on a grassy hill that sloped gently down towards the woody parts of the park. Kara sighed taking in all the sights and started to speak "that girl was someone who I knew way back when, her name is Anu...Anita, and she has always tried to kill me...I could always defend myself against her, but tonight..." she looked at Yami with soft golden eyes "if you weren't there... I would have died..." she sighed deeply and continued, "Back home in Egypt they trained the children which showed promise, the arts of Egyptian Combat.Sabres are my choice weapon. As for this," she gestured with her hand at her millennium item "I've had these as long as I can remember, they have helped me out in sticky situations", she looked over at Yami's puzzle and smiled "I'm sure yours has got you out of tough situations too." They fell silent, she felt the grass ripple gently in the warm wind around her, Kara looked at Yami and saw something in his face she had not seen in a long time, her heart skipped a beat 'love!?...No...compassion maybe, but surely not love...' before she could think of any other possibilities, Yami kissed her. He kissed her softly but passionately sweet, the kiss seemed to last forever but at the same time, it was painfully short. When he gently ended the kiss, Kara opened her eyes and looked deeply into his; he gazed back into hers, which swirled from gold to a beautiful shade of red orange. She leaned into him and kissed him back, this time deeper and more adoring than the last. Then out of nowhere Kara saw flashes of horrible scenes. Scenes, which she had hoped she would never have to see again. She saw scenes of blood, terror, and monsters. She broke the kiss abruptly, she scrambled up onto her feet and backed away from him, fear evident in her now murky jade eyes "Stay away from me!" she half shouted half sobbed. Yami looked up at her confused and upset "What? What is wrong?" he asked, without another word she ran. Yami got onto his feet and ran after her, he ran down the hill and saw her run into the woods; he followed her into the mist. When he finally saw where he was going, he lost her. 'Where did she go?' Yami thought, 'I don't know...' Yugi replied. Yami searched the little forest to no avail. He felt unusually sad that she ran off. He headed towards the parks entrance; he had a feeling she would be at school tomorrow, he walked home depressed and confused...
