Konnichi wa, when I first started this series I thought it would go nowhere.
By now if your a crossover reader you'll notice most of my fics are
crossovers... err at least half of them, I should be called the crossover queen
(evil laughter).

Chapter Eleven- The Choice
It was a beautiful day and there was still a chill in the morning air,
Max yawned as he walked to his first class of the day. Yesterday had been a
long day, first there had been school and then that long business meeting
after.
He ran a hand through his pale silk like hair, since he had let it dry
naturally last night (he had been too tired to dry it) it wasn't spiky today. It
fell gently to his chin giving him a slightly exotic look, and by the looks other
students were giving him he looked pretty good with it to.
"Bakura," he called spotting his friend, the other pale teen turned
startled by his call. For a minute Bakura said nothing as Max ran up to him,
Max frowned and wondered why his friend was reacting like that.
"Bakura, are you okay?" he asked, Bakura blinked and then shook his
head as if to clear his thoughts.
"I'm fine, you just startled me with your hair like that. With your hair
like that you reminded me of someone I use to know, sorry about that,"
Bakura told him, Max smiled and nodded.
"That's okay Bakura, but for a second there you looked very pale,"
Max said, Bakura gave a nervous laugh and then they ran for class not
wanting to be late.
***
Bakura concentrated hard on what there teacher was saying, at the
moment he was forcing himself not to look at Max. When he had first seen
Max today he had bee shocked, all Max needed was some Egyptian clothing
and he would be a dead wringer for Hikari.
((That was so weird, I could of sworn I was looking at Hikari)) Yami
said, he nodded his head in agreement and he felt grief from his counterpart.
(You really loved him, didn't you) Bakura said, it was a statement not
a question.
((Yes, more then I ever thought I could. It was only a few times we
met at first that I realized I was falling in love, he was the one to give me
the millennium ring back then)) Yami said, Bakura blinked slightly for never
before had his darker half told him how he had received the ring in the past.
***
Yami wanted to cry as Yugi spotted Max that day, Max looked like his
long lost friend... his best friend and also first crush.
Yet he stopped himself from running out and hugging Max like a long
lost friend, Hikari was long dead. Unlike himself Hikari's spirit had moved
on, it had not been stuck into a magical object for a few millennia.
He sighed to himself at the unfairness of it all, here was someone who
looked exactly like Hikari but there was no way the long dead millennium
item creator had been reincarnated.
'Or is there, he told me many things about his power... but did he say
anything about the ability to reincarnate himself' Yami thought with a frown,
it was then that Yugi talked to him.
Yami is something wrong, your feeling so sad? Yugi asked, Yami
popped out of his slight depression glad that the other half of his soul had
stopped him from falling into it farther.
Its nothing Yugi, just concentrate on your school work he said, Yugi
shrugged and continued on his work.
***
Seto Kaiba glared at the pale haired boy in the class, he ignored
Bakura and concentrated on Max. His gaze burned into the shorter teen,
while Pegasus was out of reach he could at least make his son uncomfortable.
He planned to have another talk with the other teen after school, he
didn't trust the other teen yet.
***
Max sighed n relief as the lunch bell rang, happily he grabbed his
bento and rushed out of the classroom with many of the other students. He
hummed happily as he walked to the same tree as the day before, maybe
Bakura would join him again.
He had made an extra bento today for lunch, he didn't know why but
he had the feeling Bakura would probably forget his lunch today.
'I wonder why I feel this way, what does Bakura mean to me' Max
thought with a sigh, he sat down not bothering to start his lunch yet.
Then there was Yugi who was also fast becoming a friend, the tri-
colored teen was nice and all but he didn't get the same romance like
feelings from him. It was more like an older sibling feeling, to keep the
shorter teen out of mischief.
'Sort of what I felt towards that other teen in my dreams, the one that
was called Yami and looked quite a bit like Yugi' Max thought, it was then
that he noticed a familiar figure walking his way.
"Bakura, over here!" he called waving his left arm, Bakura waved back
and hurried to get to Max.
"Hi Max, any chance you have extra food... I kind of forgot to bring
mine," Bakura said looking embarrassed, not knowing why Max broke up
laughing and a bewildered Bakura joined in.
***
Ami smirked as she spied apon the two eating teens, one was Max and
the other was Bakura. Bakura she couldn't of cared less about, Max there run
away princess or should she say prince was her target.
Once she had served happily as the moon brats guard, but now she
would happily rip Maxs heart out. She still remembered the pleasure she
had felt as she killed Usagis parents, that was the day all the inner scouts
and Tuxedo Kamen had become evil.
Evil had replaced there heart crystals with orbs of darkness, the
crystals had been destroyed... not that she cared. When she had been
captured by the evil she had been such a goodie goodie, but after they had
replaced it with evil she was bad assed to the soul.
She clenched her fist and used her power, a dagger of ice appeared in
it. For this attack she had chosen her old senshi uniform, but instead of a
white body it was ebony dark telling those she served evil.
She gave a soft laugh, soon the little prince would know much pain
before he was forced to do what her group wanted. Quickly she ran towards
Max, she was going so fast she was practically invisible to the world.
With a jerk of her dark gloved hands she jerked Max up, she rammed
him into the tree he had been eating under. All this happened in less then
five seconds, happily she plunged her ice dagger into his right shoulder.
Bakura and the other students looked at her fearfully as this
happened, she looked at then her eyes glinting. Quickly the students ran
fearfully, they knew evil when they knew it.
"Hey, let go of Max," Bakura demanded angrily, he leapt forward to
attack her but with a slight twist of one of her hands she sent him sprawling
hard into a metal fence.
"Oomph," Bakura said as he hit, soon he lay still from the shock.
"What are you?" Max demanded through the pain, Mercury had to grin
seeing that this version of the long ago lunarian princess wasn't crying like
Usagi would of.
"Don't you know, oh well you'll learn little maxie boy," she sneered,
then before he could do anything she pulled him away from the tree and
threw him [hard] against the school.
There was a sickening crack as he hit the building, he fell limply to the
ground.
"You can't do that to my friend," a familiar voice said, Mercury turned
and saw that Bakura was up again and the boy Yugi from her class was with
him.
"Oh yes I can, nothing can stop me," she sneered, she gathered an ice
attack and easily froze them to the spot. Soon they would freeze to death, a
pity they wouldn't see the day when the inner senshi ruled the earth.
***
Max opened his eyes at the words 'Oh yes I can, nothing can stop me',
he winced feeling many bruises along his body and one of his ankles were
probably broken.
"Bakura, Yami," he called in a panic as his two friends were frozen,
crystal like tears fell down his face knowing that there was no way he could
escape this dark garbed evil woman.
***
Mercury walked over to the limp Max and easily picked him up, he
was banged up from her throwing him but not enough for her liking.
"See your little friends, there going to die and its all going to be your
fault," she said laughing cruelly, he shook in anger rage showing in his
sappier eyes.
"You won't get away with this," he said angrily, she laughed again and
slammed him against the building creating a web of lines in the cement.
"I already have," she whispered with a smile, Max finally fell
unconscious.
***
Max looked around bewildered, the last thing he remembered was
being attacked by that weird woman.
"Where am I?" he asked himself bewildered, he found himself in a
dessert surrounded by pyramids... somewhere in Egypt probably. Looking at
the sky he finally noticed that it was night, a full moon shone brightly.
"Your in Egypt of course, in a place long forgotten," a voice said, it
sounded very familiar so he turned. His eyes widened in surprise when he
saw the speaker, it was himself... or someone who looked really like himself.
The person looked exactly like himself, even his hair was worn loose
to his chin like himself [Or at least how it was today]. He wore ancient
Egyptian clothing that looked great even if they were a few millennia out of
style, on them though was a strange eye design.
"Actually this is your unconscious mind, just blending a few
memories," a female voice, startled Max turned to see a very beautiful
teenage girl with a strange marking on her forehead.
"What's going on, who are you?" he asked confused, the two other
people walked up to him till they stood right in front of him.
"I am Serenity or Usagi, one of your many forms you have worn when
reborn. I am the descendent of the moon goddess and princess of the moon, I
am here to help you," she said, he blinked and sweatdropped.
"Ummm, okay. What about you?" he asked the Egyptian, his look alike
smiled sadly.
"I am Hikari, your first life and this is the true you. You have been
reincarnated many time but this had always been the true you, now it comes
to your choice," Hikari said, Max noted that the Egyptians sounded much
more sure of himself then Max ever did of himself.
"Choice, what choice?' he asked confused, the two memories of pat
lives sighed.
"You still have your powers from your last reincarnation as Usagi or
should I say Serenity, her powers won't be able to help you. In a few years...
maybe four or five they will totally activate, you will become Lunarian and
immortal like she was. Unfortunately your friends will die, maybe Hikari can
explain it better," Serenity said, Hikari rolled his eyes.
"Your choice is give up your lunarian powers and everything that goes
with it, become Hikari again to save those you love," Hikari said, hearing this
Max began to panic.
"You mean let you take over me, what will happen to me," Max
panicked, Hikari groaned.
"Not like that Max, I meant that you would still be you but more... you
would become all that you can be," Hikari explained, suddenly it came to
Max what the two spirits truly meant. It wasn't what they were saying that
explained it but a feeling, he smirked as he remembered his... err arousing
memory/dreams.
"I accept Hikari, lets go defeat this evil," Max said, Hikari and Serenity
smiled.
"You'll also have my memories Max, they will help you... especially the
memories from Usagi," Serenity told him, he nodded.
"Take my hand Max, and let Hikari be truly reborn," Hikari said, Max
nodded and took the Egyptian slim hand.
'Won't Bakura be surprised' he thought, he smiled.
TBC
This is my longest chapter yet and I hoped you enjoyed it, the next few
chapters will be funny. I also explained why the inners are evil and also tux
boy, wonder how all the outers will react to no more lunarian Max or how
Yami Bakura/Yugi will react to teh fact that Max is Hikari. And for the last
time Max will not become Usagi or female again, come on people I will not
change Maxs gender again.
