Chapter Sixteen - Truth to fire and the evil elevator

      Hikari yawned silently as he crawled out of Yugi's bed, this was the

second time today and it was getting a bit annoying.

      "Wow, its late," he said looking at the alarm clock next to the bed, it

was almost eight o'clock at night and it was pitch black outside. Stratning

his clothing he opened the door, he smiled hearing voices from down stairs.

      'Wonder what everyone is talking about, but I really should talk to Rei

and explain what is going on to her' Hikari thought, he also made a note to

himself to talk to the outer scouts about a certain fact. The fact lunarian

race was gone and they didn't have to guard him anymore, they were out of that

job now.

      Hikari hated to be guarded and protected, he could protect himself quite

well thank you. He didn't have to use his powers to do that either, he knew

quite a few martial arts types that had long ago been forgotten.

      His favorite was the fighting style he had learned on the island of

Atlantis, he had grown to love that place... it had hurt him to hear that it had

sunk below the sea. He had stayed there for two hundred years, the people had

taken him quite well even though he didn't age like them.

      'But I grew to love other places after Atlantis's end, Egypt became a

second home to me when I lived there' Hikari thought, but it saddened him at

how short of time he had lived there.

      Silently he walked down the stairs to where he knew everyone was, he

could feel them down below in the living room... also he could hear the

television blasting.

      He walked softly so nothing would give himself away, he loved to

surprise and frighten people. It was kind of like how cats liked to surprise

people, he sweatdropped at that thought and knew that he had to stop thinking

about cats or Bastet would probably show up.

***

      Speaking of which, in a realm that no human eyes had ever seen a certain

Egyptian cat goddess sneezed.

      She quickly glared at all who snickered, her claws and a pointed look definitely stopped the male gods (evil grin, you know where she looked).

***

      Hikari blinked and then shrugged, why he was thinking of the goddess now

he had no clue. Finally he found himself outside the door that led into the

living room, with a silent yawn he looked into the room.

      'Interesting, I wonder why all this noise didn't wake me up though' he

thought with a sweatdrop, he smiled though as his gaze settled on the pale

haired Kage and nodded to himself seeing how Rei was acting.

***

      Rei rolled her eyes at the hubbub around her, they were noisy and much

of what they said confused her. She knew that she had missed much while under

the control of evil, but what in the world was 'Duel Monsters' or 'Dice

Monsters'.

      What she really wanted to do was talk to Hikari the one who had saved

her, she wanted to know how he had saved her. There was also another reason

she wanted to know why the pale haired teen felt so familiar in those few

seconds they had both been awake at the same time.

      "You could wake the dead with all the noise your making," an amused

tired voice said, the room became silently and everyone turned happily except

for Rei who turned in curiousity.

      Standing there at the door to the room was Hikari, the pale haired teen

looked very tired but had a sparkle of humor in his blue eyes.

      "Hikari," one of the two other paled haired teens said, he had been

introduced as Kage if she remembered right. Quickly Kage jumped up and rushed

to the other teen, he then led Hikari to the plush chair he had just left.

      "Thanks Kage," Hikari said with a smile, Kage smiled back then sat on

the floor next to hikari. She sweatdropped slightly at the glare Yami was

giving Kage, she felt as if she was in the middle of a war over something.

      "Hikari, I want to thank you for saving me from the evil," she said

finally and she bowed slightly [as much as she could while sitting], the pale

haired teen smiled and nodded.

      "Its at least I could do, especially for one of the planet Warriors," he

said, she blinked in shock.

      "How... how did you know that?" she asked surprised, he sighed and

motioned for everyone but the two of them to leave.

      "Its best if I show you how I know," he said getting up, she blinked

feeling bewildered at what he meant by 'show'.

      She gasped as he leaned forward placing his fingertips on her temples,

a tingling ran through her body... she knew that she knew him but not from

where.

      "This might come as bit of a shock," he told her simply, then her world

went gold and... everything changed.

***

      Hikari groaned and fell back into a chair totally exausted, maybe using

his power like that after using so much today was a bad idea.

      He still had awhile before his power returned to him fully, thankfully

he knew that very soon his powers would be complete.

      He looked at the raven haired girl, her eyes were wide and she was

breathing heavily. Sweat covered her brow, her mouth moved silently. Finally

she snapped back to reality, her eyes stared at the pale haired Egyptian

silently.

      "Usagi," the senshi of fire whispered, the girl looked at him with

surprise and a terrible sadness.

      "Yes, its me," he answered her, then to his surprise she leapt towards

him crying heavily. This surprised him for Rei hadn't acted like this in the

past, but she was recovering from the evil controlling her.

      "Shhh... its okay Rei, everything will be all right," he whispered, gently

he rubbed her back while she cried into his chest. Finally she drifted off to

sleep in his arms, she was exausted from all that had happened to her today.

      'Not that I'm not just as tired' Hikari thought, he leaned back Rei

still I his arms wondering how he would break all this to the outers.

      'To think about it, why weren't they there when the inners attacked

today' he thought frowning, he shrugged and called the others back into the

room.

***

Speaking of that:

      Bad music blared destroying sanity it seemed, if she heard that one song

again she swore she would scream and kill something.

      "This is so boring," Hotaru sighed, she leaned against the steel walls

of the elevator bored.

      Since early this morning all three outers had been stuck in this tiny

box called an elevator, they knew that people were trying to get them out... but

so far there was no luck.

      "... " she heard the two others say, she glared at them for they didn't

seem to mind being stuck in an elevator together.

      'It would be okay if it was just them, but I really don't want to see

things like this' she thought blushing heavily, she groaned knowing that it

would be a very loooong night.

      'I would say get a room, but this is the only room and I'm in it' she

thought with a slightly depressed sigh, she started banging her head against

the side of the elevaor (lol, fanart please)

***

      Kage smiled as he re-entered the room, he glared some though at the

sleeping girl in Hikaris arms though.

      "Shhh, she cried herself to sleep," Hikari told them, Kage nodded and

sat down on the chair next to Hikari.

      "She can sleep in the guest room tonight," Yugi said, Yami nodded and

walked to Hikari. Leaning down he gently picked up Rei. He quickly disappeared

out of the room.

      "How well did she take it?" Bakura asked, Kage also wanted to know.

      "Quite well actually, but she cried herself asleep letting out all her

grief," Hikari said, Kage smiled slightly as the other Egyptian yawned

slightly.

      "No more questions everyone, Hikari is still exausted and needs to

sleep," Kage said, everyone nodded while Hikari looked slightly embarised.

      "Why don't you take my room, I can sleep on the couch tonight," Yugi

suggested, Kage flashed the spiky tri-colored haired teen a relieved smile.

      "Thanks Yugi, I don't think I could make it all the way home without

collapsing," Hikari said softly, he slowly began to stand up.

Kage grinned getting up, before anyone could say anything he picked his

koi up.

      "Hey, I can walk," Hikari protested, Kage smirked as he walked to where

Yugi's room was located.

      "Really, and that's why you look like you about to fall unconscious," he

said, Hikari gave a slightly nervous laugh before yawning again.

      "Only this once then," Hikari said, Kage only smiled as he entered

Yugi's room. Gently he lay the other Egyptian on the bed and covered him with

its soft sheets, as he watched Hikari drifted to sleep.

      "Sleep well Hikari," he whispered, it was then that he felt someone

enter the room. Startled he looked up to see Bakura, he nodded to his other

half.

      "I called home, I told them were staying here for the night," Bakura

told him, Kage nodded.

      "I need to rest," he told his other half, he then vanished to his soul

room where he himself quickly fell asleep.

***

      Bakura yawned, Kage had retreated to his soul room and now he himself

was alone with the sleeping Hikari.

      "Kawaii," he whispered looking at the sleeping teen, feeling very tired

he lay down on the bed also (Its very big okay) and curled up beside his koi.

      'Hikari' he thought smiling, closing his eyes he silently fell asleep.

***

      "Awww, Kawaii," Yugi giggled quietly, he smiled at the sight of the

forms of the two sleeping teens. In there sleep Bakura was cuddling Hikari to

his chest gently, the way he was holding the Egyptian reminded him of someone

holding a teddy bear (Fanart please for this scene).

      Hikari had a soft smile on his face and so did Bakura, well as much as

Yugi could see since Bakuras face was mostly hidden by Hikari's pale hair.

      "I know," Yami said with a slightly depressed sigh, startled Yugi looked

at his darker side. Yami was looking at the two a sad look in his crimson

eyes, Yugi gently pulled his other half out of the bedroom.

      "There's nothing we can do about it Yami, we both know that Bakura and

Kage have his heart," Yugi whispered, Yami sighed.

      "I kow Yugi, I thought I could get him to love me this time around... but

that will never be. Kage won in the past and in the future, but will there

ever be anyone for us," Yami said, Yugi sighed (Fh pushes Anzu out a window,

she will not be getting Yami/Yugi okay).

      "One day we'll find someone, but until then... " Yugi said trailing off,

Yami raised an eyebrow and looked at the small teen beside him.

      "Until then, what?" he asked, Yugi gave him a wicked grin and Yami

shared it now understanding what his lighter side meant.

      "We can still flirt with him, and maybe steal a few kisses now and

then," Yugi giggled, Yami gave a small laugh liking this plan... this way he

could also drive Kage nuts.

      "This will be fun," Yami grinned, Yugi nodded before heading to bed

while Yami returned to his soul room.
