Chapter 6 The Dance of Dreams
~DREAM SEQUENSE~
Yugi looked around at his surroundings, he was in a large room that looked remotely like an ancient arena with torches lighting the brazen walls; he was a bit surprised to have hundreds of strange people looking intently up at him in suspense and respect.
He just stared back at them; he noted that they were wearing really odd clothes, robes and jewellery covered their arms and necks.
As he gawked some more he started to blush for the women were wearing see through gowns that would hardly cover them, Yugi embarrassed to be staring, quickly looked away.
"Sire are you all right?" an older tanned dark haired man asked him concerned. Yugi looked at him blankly and swallowed, his mouth felt like cotton but he spoke, "yeah I'm fine, thanks" Yugi nearly jumped at the deepness of his voice.
"Sire if I may say so, you don't look so well. Maybe you should postpone the duel" Yugi's head snapped at the man's words, he felt an odd need not to delay any duel,
"No! I mean, no, I will not reschedule" Yugi's eyes narrowed as his lips curved to shape the words against his will.
'What is going on here?' he thought frantically as his body moved to stand up from his comfortable seat. It was as if his body was going through motions that Yugi could not control.
His lips moved again against his force "Kuleptii round up my personal mages. They will summon my creatures for me" 'summon? Creatures? What is happening!?' Yugi anxiously thought, but then he knew.
He was no longer in command of his body; someone else was in control.
The man that was indicated as Kuleptii smiled; assured that Yugi was not going to back down he called out, his voice booming in the immense chamber,
"The mighty Pharaoh Yugioh will duel the champion of the convent, Sethan!!" The whole congregation exploded into deafening cheers and applause.
The gears in Yugi's mind clicked and he knew that this was a memory, to be more specific, Yami's memory.
His or rather Yugioh's lips curled into a majestic half smile, and he slowly regally made his way down the gold-coated stone steps to face his loathed opponent.
The crowd parted to reveal the 'champion' of the convent; Yugi trapped in Yugioh's body mentally stared at the one named Sethan
'That's Seto!'
Yugi's hand involuntarily went up to touch the upside-down pyramid hanging from around his neck, 'the Millennium Puzzle!' Yugi thought happily as he recognised the shape and size of the familiar item.
Distracted he looked up to gaze at Sethan, "We meet again, great Pharaoh, but this time I won't waste our time with petty pleasantries" Sethan sneered ominously,
"That was you being nice?" asked Yugioh coolly, daggers of sarcasm in every word. Yugi psychologically sighed, exasperated 'looks like Yami didn't akin to Seto even way back when'.
At the king's mocking words Sethan's cerulean eyes narrowed to hateful slits and with his intimidating voice he called out
"Let's duel!!!"
~END DREAM SEQUENSE~
Yugi bolted upright in his bed, Seto's voice ringing in his ears.
He tore off the white bed sheets and stumbled out his room into the hallway. The buzzing in his ears turned to the annoying ring of the telephone.
He groped around blearily in the dark for the blasted thing, and when he found it he irritably picked it up,
"Hello?" he asked groggily his voice scratchy from sleep or lack thereof. "Yugi!!! Oh thank God it's you!! Seto is missing!!" a voice that sounded suspiciously like Mokuba's screamed into his ear.
Yugi flinched as he moved the phone away from his head; After a few moments of desperate ear-splitting screams on Mokuba's behalf, the news sunk into Yugi's drowsy head, his amethyst eyes flickered open in concern and disbelief, "Mokuba wait, what? What do you mean?" he asked hoarsely.
"I mean that Seto left on the 16th and he said he would be back in three days on the 19th! Today is the 23rd! And I have a really, really bad feeling!!" Mokuba half shouted half sobbed into the phone.
Yugi sighed tiredly "where did he go?" he asked nearly falling asleep, "Egypt!" Yugi's eyes flashed wide open, he could feel shifting from deep inside his puzzle "Egypt!!??" he gasped surprised.
"Yeah on a business trip" Mokuba said unfazed "why?" "uhh just a little personal hobby, nothing more nothing less" Yugi replied somewhat unconvincingly.
He then changed the topic back to Seto "maybe he stayed a few days longer" "nuh uh. He would have called me to tell me that he was staying longer, also my brother is not too fond of the weather in Egypt"
"Oh I see" Yugi said seriously, then there was a blessed silence until Yugi spoke again,
"Well how can I help you?" he asked a little puzzled "come with me" "huh?!" "Yeah come with me to Egypt to find him" Mokuba said gravely "well... I dunno..."
"Please??" Mokuba asked in his sweetest voice, Yugi melted "well.... Oh all right...." "Thank you sooo much!! Oh and it would help if you can get the others to come with us cause I need all the aid I can get, ok?"
Yugi sighed, yes Mokuba could be a little spoiled at times but he was a generally good kid
"I'm not making any promises, but I'll ask them" he replied sincerely.
"thanks a bunch Yugi, see you at five at the airport? I'll pay for the trip" "ok sure" Yugi responded "ok then bye!" "Bye"
He hung up the phone and as he was trying to walk in the dark to the bathroom at the end of the hall Yami then decided to talk.
'Aibou why are we going to Egypt?' he asked with pain lacing his deep spiritual voice, Yugi winced at Yami's anguish and uneasiness but he replied openly,
'Because Seto Kaiba went missing there and Mokuba asked me to help'
There was an anxious silence as the information sunk into Yami's head, 'what? What was he doing there in the first place? Great! Of all of the places in the world it has to be Egypt!'
Yugi cringed at Yami's outcry. 'Hey, hey, hey relax will you?! He asked me to help him, not you so you have nothing to worry about except sitting in the puzzle doing nothing!' Yugi retorted sick of his Yami's behaviour for the last five months.
There was another but much longer, edgy silence that yawned between them until Yami shifted nervously once and faded without shame away from Yugi's conscience.
Realizing what he had done Yugi unsuccessfully tried to apologise for his behaviour but it was too late; Yami had locked himself into his soul room and he was not listening to Yugi anymore.
Yugi miserable now that Yami had decided not to speak to him, staggered back into his room and fell dejectedly face first onto his bed. After a few moments of suffocating himself in his sheets, Yugi turned his head to the right to get some fresh air.
'Hmmm that's odd' Yugi thought to himself as he stared at a lone Duel Monster's card laying on his bed a few centimetres from his head. He sat up and reached over to pick it up; when he saw the monster on the card he gasped and dropped it onto the floor.
Violet eyes dilated and his breath coming in short breaths he warily observed the fallen card.
Gathering up his courage Yugi closed his eyes and shakily reached to pick it up with his trembling hand; no more afraid he gazed apon the card with wonder.
The 'Fusionist' stared back up at him 'this was her favourite card... but how did it get here?' Yugi pondered incredulously as he touched the card tenderly, he closed eyes absently and the card turned into silky soft skin, skin that he ran his fingers over, caressing, warming, loving...
"Ok enough of that!" he shouted to himself as he bolted up, into angst filled stance, the card gripped in his left hand.
He paced his room looking for a hiding place for the card, when he could find no good place he sighed resignedly and put the card in a place where he never thought to put it; his own deck.
He placed his deck back into the golden box where he once kept the pieces to the Millennium Puzzle when he was trying to solve it.
'There that'll do' he thought feeling as if he accomplished something worthwhile; then exhaustion washed over him. He glanced at his digital clock; 1:34 am, he grumbled as he flopped onto his nice warm comfortable bed.
'I hope Yami won't be sore at me for long' Yugi thought despairingly. With the thought on his mind he drifted off to a deep dream filled sleep....
Ok dokey this chapter wasn't that long but it'll do for now. Hope you guys stick around for chapter 7. I don't know if I should continue with this story cause I am not sure if you guys like it that much. I might continue if I get more reviews...
Till later!
