Chapter 7 Past Truths
Kara quickly wrote the note that the teacher had written on the board. She was very tired, and she was very careful not to bump her ribs too much; she had healed the majority of the injury last night, but now it was just a dull ache. She nervously scanned the classroom, Joey caught her gaze and smiled brightly at her, she weakly smiled back. Kara was still shook up about last night; she sighed 'he is no different..' she thought to herself 'then he was when I last knew him..' she covered her sadness, anger and disappointment by hunching over her desk writing furiously, completing her class work ahead of time. She straightened up; bored she watched the clock; before she knew it she used her magic to influence the clock to move faster than normal. The bell rang, surprised the teacher and the students looked at the clock. Happy and delighted the class filed out the door, while the teacher stood there confused. Kara smiled genuinely for the first time that day, she packed up her stuff and headed for the cafeteria. Joey was outside the door waiting for her, "hi!" he greeted her enthusiastically, "hi..." she replied dully. He frowned "is something wrong?" he asked, she looked at him "oh..I'm fine. Nothing is wrong..." she lied "umm, I think I will eat outside" she added quickly, spotting Tea and Ryou sitting with someone who looked suspiciously like Yugi. Joey smiled "I'll join ya!" "Ok, if you want" Kara shrugged. They went outside and sat on a picnic table, as soon as she sat down; she knew something was amiss. She looked at Joey who was chomping down quite contentedly on his burger, "Joey stay here, I will be right back, ok?" "Ohn kank" he replied, his mouth full of food. She got up and went over to a grouping of trees; she felt something was not right. She leaned over to put her hand on the tree to look around. Her hand went right through the trunk! "What the f-.!" she exclaimed surprised. She passed her hand through the tree again 'hmmm. that's odd' she thought 'what would happen if I walked through it? There's only one-way to find out'. She held her breath and walked through, not knowing what to expect. She opened her eyes and she stared into darkness. Gradually light glowed, forming and morphing into objects and walls around her. She found herself in a chamber, an Egyptian temple chamber to be exact. Kara's sky blue eyes widened in surprise, recognition and wonderment; 'whoa the last time I was in one of these was..' she couldn't finish her thought because someone entered the room. She did not have any time to hide, thinking that she was caught, she closed her eyes and faced the hooded person; the person did not even notice her! In fact he passed right through her! Gasping she turned around to watch the person. A girl followed the hooded stranger into the room, she looked as if she had been crying; she was not too tall, slim and pretty. She had red hair, freckles and blue-green eyes, "your highness, y-you requested me?" she asked timidly. Kara looked at the girl stunned 'Jez- Ebella! My handmaiden!' she thought joyfully. The hooded person regally responded "Jez-Ebella, your services are no longer needed... You are free now...." the stranger looked down and whispered quietly "you were like a sister to her...she would have wanted it to be this way.." the now free slave looked shocked but sad, " thank you, y-your highness.." she replied sorrowfully. Kara was confused; the hooded person then said, "now please leave me." "Yes, your highness" Jez-Ebella answered gravely and backed out of the room. The hooded being kneeled at the golden temple alter, Kara walked up to the beautiful alter and saw that this was the temple of Hathor; the Goddess of love, joy, beauty, family and the patroness of women. The stranger threw back his hood, Kara gasped in shock and unforgotten recollections. It was Yami. Kara knew now what was going on... this whole vision was a memory. Yami or the Pharaoh as he was known then, knelt praying to the Goddess, heart-breaking grief streaked his face. Kara knelt down besides him, love and memories flooding her soul, she reached out to him, to try and comfort him, her hand passed through his face. Tears streamed down her face and she whispered into his ear "I am so sorry.." Then when she glanced up at him, she noticed that he was fading away "No!" she cried out, but before she knew it she was standing in front of the tree. She tried to go back but her hand touched solid bark, somewhat overwhelmed she slid down the trunk into a sitting position on the ground. A shadow fell over her, she looked up at Bakura; who looked at her strangely. "You are not the person who you seem to be, are you?" he said, his ring glowing. She stood up and stared at him with dark purple eyes gleaming, "No, I am not, but you are not Ryou, are you?" she asked, he smiled evilly at her "no" he responded, "I thought so... You aren't getting my item though, I will make sure of that," she warned, he smiled again as she was walking away "if that is your wish...your highness", she stopped in mid walk and turned to face him "you and I have had brushes in the past. you know what I am capable of, so I suggest you watch your step around me" she warned again her dark eyes swirling dangerously. He gazed at her and sighed contentedly "that's what I liked and still like about you. You are so beautiful when you are angry", Kara wrinkled her nose in disgust "I never liked you then and I still don't like you now, so quit your feeble attempts, I never cared for you anyway" she coldly stated, she turned to walk away. His smile disappeared and he scowled 'I will get you and your item' he thought deviously as her watched her walk away.
