Chapter 9:
It was midday. Seto had wandered off on his own, leaving Yami to get lost in the mansion again. He was walking past a guest room he swore he'd seen for the fourth time within ten minutes when he heard voices.
"It's not ONE problem....there are so many happening at once!" It was Amari's voice.
"Like..." Kuyiri's voice said. Yami crept silently up to the door and listened.
"Like the DM war our fellow monsters have been planning," Ayari said.
"Why would they start a war now?" Yoruda asked.
"Who knows? Maybe the idea was just renewed recently?" Ayari commented.
"So who is it this time? Spellcasters vs. dinosaurs?" Kuyiri asked.
"...The duel monsters want to go to war...with the humans," Amari said. A small gasp went through the room.
"How...how do you know that?" Yami's Black Magician curiously asked.
"I was wandering through a crowd one morning...a bunch of important duel monsters were talking about it...they said it's a perfect time to strike...probably because the people think that Duel Monsters are only a card game now," Amari replied.
"This will cause a serious war...not only between humans and duel monsters...but between the duel monsters themselves," Kuyiri reasoned.
"That's right. Those loyal to their human masters will not fight," Amari said. Suddenly, the door flung open and Yami fell into the room. "Care to join us Yami?" He blinked. Amari must've known he was there the whole time!
"Uh-uh-sure," Yami finally said.
Kuyiri started again, "You think the recent duelist disappearances are connected to this?"
"Disappearances?" Yami asked.
"Yes," Amari said, "Many duelists in America are disappearing. People think it's a cult against the duel monsters game, though perhaps the duel monsters have found their way there and started kidnapping them so that loyal duel monsters will be forced to fight for the safety of their masters."
"You're in danger master," Yoruda said to Yami.
"The fact that he's a top duelist and has shadow powers makes it all more appealling to kidnap him or worse," Ayari added solemnly.
"Speaking of which...Seto's 17th birthday is coming soon," Amari commented.
"What does that have to do with anything?" Yami wondered out loud.
"Us Blue Eyes are worried that Seto's shadow powers will come back because of his past life," Amari said.
"It's a problem because he probably won't know much about controlling them," Kuyiri added.
"You may not remember, but Seto's past life's shadow power had a huge spurt on his 17th birthday. Even with his experience, he had some trouble controlling it. Whenever he panicked or became surprised, he shot off a lot of magical attacks by accident. That's why we're worried," Ayari finished.
"...I think he already has powers..." Yami commented quietly.
"WHAT?!" all the dragons shouted in alarm.
"When we were at the hospital, he shot me across the room."
"Hmm...this causes a bigger problem than I originally thought," Amari thought out loud.
"Why?" Yami asked.
"You see...this letter in my hand is an invitation to a duelist tournament. Despite the kidnapping, the host of the tournament refuses to cancel. He's a very rich man and loves duel monsters," Amari explained.
"You've been here the whole time, so yours is probably at home," Ayari said.
"With Seto's fierce passion to duel, he'll go no matter what anyone tells him," Kuyiri added.
"Now Yami," Amari said while he was processing everything. "Us dragons need to discuss something private, so we would appreciate it if you left." Yami blinked, but then complied to her strange request. His Black Magician followed him.
"Seto hasn't been sleeping well," Amari started.
"Why?" Kuyiri asked.
"Dreams," Amari answered. Silence spread throughout the room.
"This certainly isn't the best time for THAT," Kuyiri said bitterly.
"If his soul goes to the Shadow Realm, it'll be taken hostage for sure..." Ayari thought out loud.
"Ra certainly is tormenting us..." Kuyiri held his head.
Ayari sighed exasperatedly. "Seto and Yami are becoming closer...we won't be able to resolve this after we stop the DM war. It'll probably occur during."
Amari frowned as she remembered things a millenia ago...
~~~Flashback~~~
"Is he...?" Amari asked, looking over the body of the Pharaoh. His regal clothes were in tatters. Bruises and blood covered his body.
"Dead? Almost. He won't last much longer," Seth said, expressionless.
"..." The silence blanketed the room.
A loud WHAM shattered the soundless area as Seth slammed his fists on a table. "If only I'd rescued him sooner..." Tears dripped onto his clenched hands.
"Master, you can't blame yourself for this!" Kuyiri blurted out.
However, Seth did not hear him. He walked over to the pharaoh. "Ouiji-kun..." he whispered, cradling his lover's body with his arms. A tiny cough and a few gasps for oxygen was the response. Ouiji had always loved it when Seth spoke in Nihongo (Japanese). Ouiji had even taken the liberty of learning the language.
"His soul is leaving..." Ayari said, turning his head away sadly.
Seth hugged the pharaoh close. "I...will see you again," he said softly but confidently. The high priest started a soft chant. The Sennen Puzzle and Yami's tan body glowed. The dragons watched on in wonder. What was their master doing?
Amari, Ayari, and Kuyiri watched as the chant ended, and Yami's glow slowly drained into the Sennen Puzzle, but part of it drained into Seth.
"Wha...what did you do?" Amari asked.
"Yami's soul will live in here," Seth replied, holding up the little upside-down pyramid his Ouiji always wore. "But...his memories will stay with me. Maybe it's better he doesn't remember while he exists in the puzzle..."
"Demo (but) he won't remember you," Ayari said.
"I know," Seth gave a soft but sad smile. He then looked at the lifeless body he continued to hold. "I will give his memories back eventually, one way or another. Seth brushed the pharaoh's blonde strands away from his lover's now peaceful face and laid him down on the table. He then began to explain things to his favorite duel monsters...
~~~End flashback~~~
"As long as they even touch each other in their sleep, Yami will get a jolt of his memories," Ayari said.
"And when Master has no more memories to give, his soul will go to the Shadow Realm," Amari finished solemnly.
A/N: It's so early in the morning...1:27 am and I'm eating...ice cream. That's right. Ice cream.
