Okay, thanks for all the feedback everyone...this is like, the only fic I'm updating often enough... -_- I think the rest of my reviewers of my other stories think I'm dead... Sorry minna-san. _. I have writer's block. Since I haven't talked to any of the wonderful, glorious, delightful (makes up for my lack of thanking and stuff ^^) reviewers for this fic, here they are:
Tammy: Thanks for reading. You're right, Mokuba and Seto are the best (ESPECIALLY Mokuba. He's so...cute...forgive me. I am NOT falling in love with a ten year old fake anime character... I am NOT falling in love with a ten year old fake anime character...ok, have to repeat that..._)
Mikari: Thanks for saying that about the story…^^
CrystalLili: I like your pen name...and arigatou for talking about the descriptive parts too ^.~
UK Chatte: Thanks for reviewing!
Angel-Belle: I like your JouXSeto story...and the song IS one of Christina Aguilera's {better} songs...wonder why she didn't release it. Too personal, I guess...chee %_%.
setobessesed: Thanks for reviewing both songfics! ^^
Rutu: I found one! This songfic is for you...^^ I WAS going to do one from Fushigi Yuugi, but it was to....anger-ish...and would've matched Egyptian Yami, but not normal Yami...
Karasu Naka De Hakuchou: Thanks for your comment ^^
Tenshi bakeru: Yeah, .hack//SIGN rules!
Fate: Thanks for liking it! ^.~
Again, this is Japanese next to English translation...By the way, this is from Neon Genesis Evangelion...

Yami Yuugi
Tamashii no Rufuran
Soul Refrain

watashi ni kaeri nasai
kioku wo tadori
yasashisa to yume no minamoto e
mo ichido hoshi ni hikare
umareru tame ni...
tamashii no rufuran
Please come back to me,
Following memories
To the source of gentleness and dreams,
In order to be born, and shine to the stars
Once again…
Soul's refrain
Yami leaned back in the corner of his soul room, lost in thought. A sound of frustration sounded through the hallways of his chamber, and the faint light filtering in lighted on his tri-colored hair. Why can't I remember? Everything was so confusing to the spirit, there was so much of his soul room and his mind he still needed to forage into, dig out. He felt he was missing something, something that could piece together what he was missing, something he...needed. Something about his destiny, his past, something.
aoi kage ni tsutsumareta suhada ga
toki no naka de shizuka ni furuete'ru
inochi no yukue wo toikakeru you ni
yubisaki wa watashi wo motomeru
Your naked skin wrapped in blue shadows
Trembles quietly in this moment
Your fingertip searches for me,
As if asking for the whereabouts of life
"Then I will leave you to your search." The Pharaoh, haughty and confident, snapped his fingers. Lights clicked as door upon door, level upon level revealed it to this...intruder... The turbaned man's eyes widened quizzically, and Yami mentally smirked. Everything is complex in this place, stranger ...some of these doors even I have yet to learn about... His physical bodily spirit faded, but he followed the man to trap after trap that he encountered. The spirit raised an eyebrow as he saw the man fall down into the trick floor, and his ruby red eyes gained a wondrous look as he saw Yuugi helping the man up. He smiled subconsciously. So innocent... "I don't know what the Spirit of the Puzzle is hiding, but I..." Yami listened quietly to Yuugi's conversation, and Yami felt as if he wanted Yuugi to know... Without knowing it, he activated the passageway into a room even he did not know existed as he turned away.
dakishimeteta unmei no anata wa
kisetsu ni saku maru de hakanai hana
kibou no nioi wo mune ni nokoshite
chiri isogu azayaka-na sugata de
The you that was embraced by fate
Blooms in season like an ephemeral flower
Leaving behind the scent of hope on your chest
Scattering hurriedly in splendid form
Yami gazed through the boundaries of the Sennen Puzzle at Yuugi. Destiny has chosen well, he thought. Always so full of trust, hope...I just wish I knew more...about me, that is. Why am I doing this to myself? Talking, I mean. I must be...I'm even correcting myself. Ra...
inoru you ni mabuta tojita toki ni
sekai wa tada yami no soko ni kieru
soredemo kodou wa mata ugokidasu
kagiri aru eien wo sagashite
When eyes are closed as if in prayer
The world simply disappears there into the darkness
Even so, my heartbeat starts again
Looking for a bounded eternity
***Past Life***
"Pharaoh Yami..." The young ruler of Egypt glanced over at Seth. Seth was beginning to get...wary...and Yami felt a sense of paranoid uneasiness in his presence. "High Priest," he addressed, nodding his head in respect. The seventeen year old's crimson eyes never left the High Priest's face, and he could've sworn a smirk was tipping at the corner of the man's face. "Your council wishes to see you." He flipped around after delivering his message, and Yami strode off to another room. Opening the doors, his advisors stood right behind them, waiting. "Pharaoh..." they bowed. Yami nodded, slightly bored. He looked hesitant. "Us and your followers fear that something will happen, especially after what we've heard about some of the other sorcerers being able to summon the monsters again..." he stopped, waiting for Yami's reaction. Instead of acting on outburst, the boy merely quirked an eyebrow, and nodded for them to continue on. "So..." he began, "We have advised a plan. There is a spell that will keep your spirit in this Puzzle, which will one day assist in the world's redemption once again after a downfall...which may happen, for there are traitors in our midst, sire..." And so it began...
***End Past Life Section***
watashi ni kaeri nasai
kioku wo tadori
yasashisa to yume no minamoto e
anata mo kaeri nasai
aishiau tame
kokoro mo karada mo kurikaesu
tamashii no rufuran
Please come back to me,
Following memories
To the source of gentleness and dreams.
You, too, please come back,
So we can love each other.
Heart and body repeat
Soul's refrain
Yami's eyes widened as he flicked on the lights in the museum basement. A pang of déjà vu shot through him as he saw the slab of stone mounted on the wall. Barely noticing it, the 5000 year old spirit walked over, amazed. For a moment, he just...stared. His mind flickered back to the present as he turned upon entrance of a lady. An Egyptian lady. "My Pharaoh," she began, bowing her head. It's coming together...
watashi ni kaeri nasai
umareru mae ni
anata ga sugoshita daichi e to
kono te ni kaeri nasai
meguriau tame
kiseki wa okoru yo nandodemo
tamashii no rufuran
Please come back to me,
Before you are born
To the earth you spent your days on
Please come back into my arms
To meet again
Miracles do happen, however many times
Soul's refrain
***Past Life***
Yami could feel his spirit, his ka, being sucked out of him and he almost screamed with resistance. Eternity until the time has come... The final words that had saved him and forced him into the Puzzle buzzed in his brain. His soul protested against being locked in the confines of the Puzzle. Yami sighed, and a feeling of fatigue suddenly overwhelmed him. He fell to the floor of his resting place for the next five thousand years, and opened his mind to one more message:
Perhaps a miracle will come...

That was just plain...ARGH! So sorry everyone, I'm making Yami OOC! I mean, he's not like this. Maybe I should do Fushigi Yuugi. Chaaaahhhhh. Glory.
