Secret: I am almost done with the story. This is the last chapter. It's been fun being an authoress. ^_^
Me: I cannot WAIT until I get my powers back so I can torture you again.
Secret: Who knows? I might write more…
Me: Uh-uh…no you don't.
Secret: Yami wants me to write more don't you Pharaoh? ^_^
Yami: whatever you say ^_^. I can't believe I was actually gonna kill you… just for that * shudders *
Secret: It's ok. I love you anyways.
Me: * gags *
Secret: you're right black…all the authoresses seem to have that frying pan thing. I'm just glad it's not that infamous mallet thing…hey! now that I'm an authoress…shouldn't I have one too?
Me: um, NO!
~*~Secret's POV~*~
I awoke again to the sound of birds. Again to see my Pharaoh next to me. Again to find me in his arms Again with my strings undone. I sighed in contentment. This was how my life was going to be from now on. Just me and my king. Forever. Oh Ra…I was loving this.
He stirred and opened his eyes. "And how is my little secret today?" "As always." I sighed again. He nodded and wrapped his arms around me tightly. "Imagine it Secret. Soon you and me can just live here in peace. You'll never have to work again." He never ceased to amaze me. I was just thinking about that. A knock interrupted our morning moment. "Your kingship sir?" Pharaoh yelled back. "What is it?" "There is…someone here…to see you." "At this time? Tell him he can wait. I'm a little…" He smiled at me. "Busy…now." "Done, sire."
"Maybe it's important Pharaoh. You should leave now." "Nothing is more important than you." Cheesy I know, but it was still a sweet sentiment. "Nice to hear it said." He leaned forward and brushed his lips against mine. The tingling sensation came back, the warmth, the love, it all cam rushing down like a waterfall.
~*~Yamachan's POV~*~
"You had waterfalls in Egypt?" she eyed me. It was a legitimate question. "Shut your mouth!" I did just that.
~*~Secret's POV~*~
Back in my room. More like my cell. I had gotten too used to the luxurious life. I couldn't even sit on the floor. It was too cold. Back then it hadn't bothered me. I circled the piece of jewelry in my wrist. A gift from none other than Pharaoh. Golden Bangle/bracelet thing with the eye of Ra on it. I thought it was beautiful. I saw other items like this too. There were many of them. Not bracelets, but they all had something in common: The eye of Ra on them. But my eyes were set on this. I wondered what it was. Pharaoh tried to explain, but I didn't understand. I just knew it was mystical and special, and pretty. He just handed it to me as if it were nothing.
Probably nothing to him. It was something to me. This was probably the richest I had ever been in my whole life. I smiled evilly at the thought of me being the richest women in Egypt. It would all happen very soon. Arrangements were being made. He told me. Within 7 mornings and 6 suns…it would all be done. I drifted off to sleep, and my dreams took flight. What soothing dreams they were.
I awoke to the rumbling of walls…again. Except this time, they were shaking more. I was just happy the walls didn't break. I looked out side my so-called window again. Another duel?! With Pharaoh again? It seemed like they had just started a few minutes ago. Not many monsters were on the field. Just a few…but still this battle was intense. I'll never forget the look on my Pharaoh's face. Fear. He was scared…for this first time since I had seen him dueling long ago, he was scared. This guy must have been good.
This would test my promise. I wanted a better look. Get closer to the game. See what was happening. But I had promised myself I would never venture out again, unless absolutely necessary. It was hard. I was so tempted. Maybe I should just go back to dream land. Yes, but I couldn't sleep. I always thought about Pharaoh, and Pharaoh was dueling so I thought about the duel. This wasn't working. I had to go outside. But I would be extremely careful. Emphasis on extremely.
I crept out the a different way than last time. From what I could tell, they were near an exit of a secret passageway that I knew. I just didn't know how close. Too close for comfort as I soon found out.
I could hear everything so clearly. As if I was right there. But that was probably because I was getting nearer and nearer to the site. The roaring, the insults they were throwing at each other…as if they were right in my ear. I still wasn't out of the passageway yet. I was nearby. I could see the light at the end of the tunnel clearly. The light…
~*~Yami's POV~*~
This stranger had talent. Yes, he had talent. Maybe more than I did. But, I was the king of games. No one could stand up to me. I had to defend my title. It meant everything. What would my people think of me if I wasn't the best? I'd be the worst obviously. I didn't settle for the worst. Kings only settled for the best.
I drew my card and smirked. I could defeat him. (A/n: No duel/card describing. I am not good at that, plus I don't remember what they were.) He was good…but I was better. "Tell me stranger, why have you come here?" "Easy Pharaoh." He was smirking too. Mocking me. "To claim your title. To prove, you are a nothing." I laughed. "You wish stranger…you wish. Now let me prove to you who is the real King of games." I played my card and it attacked with all its might. I screamed in agony when I saw what had happened next.
"Nooooooooo!" I yelled out. "Stop!" It was too late. What had been done was done. The thing I feared most had come true. I broke my vow. I had killed my Secret.

~*~Yami's POV~*~
"Secret! Please…answer me." The stranger was gone. So what? He knew he had won. I had forfeited the game. My title…gone. But nothing mattered anymore. She…was gone. "Pharaoh…" No…she was still alive! Alive! I could save her still. Oh…who was I kidding! She was bleeding like hell. Her ears, nose, mouth, the scrapes and burns…it was horrid. She couldn't die. What had I done? "Pharaoh…" Her soft weak voice. "Secret…please…don't go. Remember? We were suppose to spend all our days together. Me and You…remember?" She nodded but immediately stopped. It pained her. "I'm…sorry." "No. I-I-I-I am. I attacked…" I couldn't finish.
This WAS all my fault. Why? Because of my arrogance. Because of my reputation. I had it all and I gave it up for some stupid game. I held her hand. This was the best I could do right now…nothing else could bring her back. Something gleamed and caught my eye. The…bracelet! I couldn't save her body, but I could still save her. I smiled at her. "I love you." We both said in unison. Her breathing slowed. There wasn't much time. I had to hurry.
I picked her up and started to run as fast as I could. My clothes were soaking her blood my feet burned under the hot sand, but it wasn't like I had hours or something to do this. I didn't even have minutes. She could give any second. I rushed into the ceremonial place. It was off limits to everyone except me…and one other person. I hoped he was in.
"Are you here?! I order you out!" He appeared as if out of nowhere. "Pharaoh? What- OH DEAR RA!" He saw the almost lifeless female body in my arms, blood flowing like the Nile at it's flooding times. "The…her…wrist…save…" I couldn't talk. I was too out of breath and too worried. Only a few seconds. "NOW!" He scrambled to get something. I don't know what. "I'm going to save you my sweet Secret. When destiny chooses to…I'll find you again. I promise…we will live the life we planned to live my love." She opened her eyes a slit, to show she was listening. She was crying… I was crying. We were both crying. How could this happen?
He returned with some sort of staff or something. I had heard that there was magic he possessed. But, it was done with special golden objects. He had told me all about them. The bangle on her hand was one of them. I hoped this would work. It had to work. "Lay her down here." He pointed to what looked like a table. I did as told. "I'm sorry my king, but you shall have to leave her." I glared at him. I kissed her lightly, one last time, and my hand slipped away from hers. She tried to speak, but she couldn't. She tried to move her head to look at me, but her neck was broken. She couldn't do anything. A bright light appeared from his staff and he started to mutter a chant under his breath.
The light engulfed her. I had to shield my eyes at first, but it soon calmed down. I could see her clearly now. She was flinching and twitching. I kept looking at her. Was this painful? Something was…well…it looked like something was extracted from her. Yes! We did it in time. A puff of smoke circled the bracelet and then it disappeared.
Secret was dead. Her body…limp and lifeless. Never again would I see her beautiful face, see her beautiful dances, see her beautiful body. I could touch her no more. I was torn. This was all because of me. All because of the stupid games. Never again would anyone get hurt because of these games. Never again would someone have to live through the pain she and I had gone through. I was going to keep this promise to her. But, to do that, I had to make a sacrifice…
