Chapter Ten- Feelings
As the limo drove Max home from the meeting he slowly fell asleep, it
had been a busy day and the meeting had gone on for a few hours. The sky
was dark and he was totally exhausted, thankfully he had finished all his
homework at school.
'Well that was sure an interesting meeting' he thought sleepily, with a
soft yawn his eyes fluttered and then slowly closed.. sleep claimed him.

"Yami, you must be careful," Hikari told the young pharaoh in front of
him, Yami sighed his red eyes half closed.
"Why must I be careful with the shadow games, you play them all the
time?" Yami asked confused, he knew that Hikari who played them all
the time and nothing happened to him.
"You do not understand Yami, I am of the shadows as well as the light.
I created the millennium items and many things in my life and I have lived
for longer then you realize, while you can control the shadow realm in the
games it has its cost. You could loose the light part of your soul that all
humans have there whole life, you would become as cold as the monsters in
the shadow realm... you would become all that you hated about your father,"
Hikari said, Yami ran a hand through his spiked tri-colored hair.
"What gives you the right to control my access to the shadow games
and world," Yami shouted angrily, he then stormed away.
"Because I know the shadow realm better then anyone, I as a creature
created by the light and shadow realms,' Hikari whispered softly, shaking his
head sadly he walked into the shadows and vanished.

"Mr. Pegasus, were here," the driver said.
Max woke up with a start as the limo drove into his guardians
driveway, he yawned not truly thinking about his strange dream. Quickly
he gathered his things and got out of the limo, he waved good-bye to the
driver whoes name happened to be Fred and headed for the door.
He stretched his muscles a few feet from the door, then he walked up
and reached for his keys. Max blinked as the door opened before he could
touch it, he found himself looking into dark purple eyes that were almost
black in color.
***
Hotaru smiled softly at Maxs surprised look, she knew that he had
been probably expecting Setsuna not herself. Now that she was face to face
with this reincarnation of the moon princess she could see the resemblance
between Max and Usagi.
In was just the shade of there eyes and a small tilt of the head, the
hair coloring also reminded her of a lunarian coloring.
"Ahh hi, are you friends of Setsuna?" he asked, she giggled slightly
and let him walk in.
'You could say that, actually Setsuna had to go on a business trip
without warning and until she gets back I'm one of your guardians," she told
him, he raised a slim silvery eyebrow.
"One of my guardians, how many are actually here?" he asked, she
giggled again at his reaction.
"There are three of us in all, unfortunately we have no idea when your
original guardian will get back," she told him, a thoughtful expression came
over his face.
"No idea, and from what I heard some of her meetings take months to
complete," Max said with a soft sigh, she nodded. She felt bad lying to her
prince but it had to be done, really how could she explain to him that he
wasn't truly human and he had people after him that waned to make him
there slave for eternity.
"Well now that all that is out of the way I should introduce myself, I
am Tomoe Hotaru," she said, he smiled and they shook hands. It was strange
but she noticed that he was shorter then herself, before all this had started
she had been young and Usagi had been taller then herself.
"Well I'm Maximillion Pegasus Jr, but call me Max like my friends," he
said bowing slightly, in response she bowed back. Right away she knew that
Maxs personality was different then that of Usagi, he was mature and
graceful... unlike his last life.
"The other two guardians are in the kitchen, follow me and I'll
introduce you to them," Hotaru told him, thankfully they had cleaned up all
the mess before Max had gotten back from his meeting.
***
Max pulled of his clothing with a slight sniff of disdain, they smelled
slightly of sweat and it was slightly sour now.
"Ewww, it stinks," he said crinkling his nose, he tossed it in a corner
with the rest of his dirty clothing. He stood there naked for a few seconds
before grabbing his bath towel and wrapping it around him, with a smile he
opened a door across his room that led to his own private washroom.
He quickly got the water to the right temperature he liked for
showers, climbing in he sighed in relief as it soothed his tired muscles.
Closing his eyes he let the water cover him, his silvery gold hair fell wetly
against his face and he knew that when it went down like this it gave him a
slightly exotic look... but of where he didn't know.
As he washed his hair with soft smelling shampoo his thought went
back to his daydream earlier, he didn't know why but they seemed more
like memories then a daydream... that would probably explain why he had
called Bakura Kage in the daydream.
He blushed heavily as he felt himself becoming aroused by even
thinking of those daydreams, he sighed and made himself not think of
Bakura or the strange things he felt about the other teen.
"Damn, I can't think like this... for all I know Bakura is straight," Max
thought as he turned of the water, he shivered as cool air hit his wet skin.
Quickly he grabbed his towel and wrapped it around himself, still slightly
shivering he went back into his room.
He dried himself off and changed into pajamas, then very tired he
climbed into bed. As he fell asleep he realized that his hair was still wet and
that tomorrow it wouldn't be spiky like it usually was, but he would worry
about that later.
***
Bakura lay in his bed silently looking at the ceiling of his room, he was
totally confused on what he was feeling for his new friend Max. He knew he
should feel threatened, this was Pegasus son after all. But no he felt warm
and happy when he was around the other pale teen, it was as if he had
found something he had lost long ago.
((Hikari)) Yami said suddenly, Bakura blinked surprised at his dark
halves words.
(The person from those dream?) Bakura asked, to his surprise he felt
great grief and sorrow from his other half.
((In ancient Egypt I was in love with someone named Hikari, Max
reminds me of Hikari)) Yami told him, Bakura frowned and an image of
Hikari came to him and he had to admit they looked very much alike.
(Yeah they look alot alike, but Hikari wasn't really a human and Max
certainly is. Max wears his hair spiky and Hikari wore down and chin length,
the resemblance is uncanny though) Bakura said thoughtfully, yet still he
was confused on the emotional issue that was Max.
***
Yugi lay on his bed sleepy, but unfortunately he couldn't get to sleep.
He sighed and wished he understood what was going on with himself, the
jealousy he felt when he saw Max and Bakura together.
Suddenly a flash of Yamis memories came to him...
~
A slim figure clothed in Egyptian clothing lay murdered on the floor,
blood pooled around the pale haired teens body. Wailing filled the air, it was
grief filled. He couldn't see the fallen ones face, he was sitting by the body
and tears fell down his face.
"I failed him, I failed Hikari... if only I had gotten here in time," a grief
wracked voice cried, looking up he saw another pale haired figure dressed in
Egyptian clothing and he recognized him as Yami bakura.
"No we failed him," he whispered, or rather Yami whispered.
~
Yugi came out of the ancient memory of his counterpart with a gasp,
never had he felt so much grief from Yami... not in this time at least.
'Who was it that died in that memory, all I know was that it was
someone important to both Yami and Yami Bakura' Yugi thought, he wanted
to ask Yami but knew that his darker half was resting in his soul room at the
moment.
"I'll ask him tomorrow," Yugi said with a yawn, then he finally fell
asleep.
