And it's time for the end. Battles and fighting everyone. And angst! Angst from Egypt!
Disclaimer-must I? Ah I know, Kinta you do it.
Kinta-Kilandra owns nothing, nada, zip, zilch, got it everyone? The only thing she owns is her insanity, which sense I am a product of, I think I'll refrain from insulting for the moment…
Kil-good you know your place.
Kin-yep. My place is wherever I can cause the most panic fear and pain. ^^
Notes!!! Okay I start some flashbacks here. They're pretty well noted there in italics and I use, ~*~*~ instead of _*_*_ around them because I was bored, all flash backs are during Egypt, the time is denoted by how old Yami or Kinta was at the time.
Well, it's chapter eleven everyone, enjoy!
_*_*_
"Were the hell did they go!?" Anthy yelled in frustration.
"Look it's okay, we'll find them."
Anthy didn't believe him, she just glared and turned to leave Ryou's house, "well back to the game shop I guess." Anthy grumbled, Yami just followed her, stifling a laugh, as serious ass the situation was Anthy just looked damn funny at the moment. He smiled and followed her back, barely considering the danger he was in.
_*_*_
Bakura and Kinta waited, they were in an old warehouse, that Bakura had found, both knew, Yami would be able to locate them so the decided to let him come to them, lure the fly into the web and all that.
"He's coming" Kinta announced into the silence. Bakura acknowledged the message and stood from his seat on the ground, he walked next to Kinta, they exchange a look. It said one thing – for now they were allies, but as soon as they won it was each his own. Only one of them was to get out of the warehouse alive.
"I thought you said he was coming?" it'd been about ten minutes since she'd felt it. No one had come.
"I swear it was him." Kinta looked again with her mind, now he was coming, - so what had she felt before? Must have been a false alarm, she was jumpy, it was probably just Shadi's power waves in her head. She shook the thought away, "he's coming, she's with him. they'll be here soon, give it a minute."
_*_*_
"Kinta."
"Yes, Anthy, Yami, we're here. We've been waiting for you."
Anthy and Yami stepped into the warehouse further and were hit up off their feet by a blast of dark energy. Bakura had been ready and waiting for them. The doors slammed shut as Anthy and Yami flew back and hit them. Both fell to the ground, but not crumpled, the two landed on their feet and stood again. Anthy raised her hands and tossed a fireball at Bakura.
The battle was on.
Bakura, rolled out of the way as Kinta threw an energy blast at Yami, which he held back with his powers. Kinta, withdrew a dirk and tossed it at Yami-aiming for his heart, he dove out of the way. The energy he'd been holding back flew above his head and made a hole in the wall, the dirk, fell a few feet away from him, he grabbed it and threw it back with precis aim-Kinta caught it, in-between her fingers before it hit her chest.
"Not good enough." With her free hand she threw another bolt of dark energy at him.
Bakura and Anthy fought nearby. Anthy threw another fireball at him and threw dark energy back at her, neither had landed a blow yet. Then Bakura waited too long. He didn't move in time and a pure energy sphere hit him, he flew back, and hit the ground hard, but Kinta's potion had done its job, he was barely fazed. Anthy advanced, typically a hit like that would knock someone out, and as she walked forward Bakura shot a bolt at her-and hit. She hadn't expected him to be conscious still, Anthy took the blast full on and lay breathing heavily on the ground.
"You should be …out....cold.." Anthy said wondering between gasps; she pushed herself to her feet and charged Bakura.
"Why?!" Yami asked over the crackle of there energies clashing between them.
"You."
"What?!"
"Yes you, pharaoh. It's all because of you and your bastard father. Blame him, you did then and you still can now." Kinta put all her strength into her energy bolt, and between that and Yami's confusion he was hit. Kinta walked to the panting form on the ground.
Bakura's and Anthy's energies clashed, both getting hit at least once. They wove around each other trying to gain ground, and Anthy was getting tired.
Kinta hit Yami with another bolt as he stood, he sank back down with a cry.
/she's powerful, and it's not just the items, she's barely tapping them, her powers just as strong as mine../ Yami thought frantically taking another hit, he shot at her and hit but she didn't stop, Yami lay stunned-how could this be happening?
Kinta knelt down and whispered into Yami's ear.
"Do you know who I am Yami? I'm your nightmare, your past come to haunt you. You knew me as a priestess in Egypt,"/Yami received a mental image of Kinta in Egyptian dress, a priestess garb no less, de ja vu, Yami'd seen it before; Kinta continued " but there's so much more you never knew;…brother."
Bakura and Anthy clashed again, this time hand to hand instead of with powers, Anthy was weakening, tiring, but Bakura was still strong, thanks mostly to the potion of Kinta's. With a lucky swipe, Bakura slide his knife into Anthy's gut, she sank down in shock, giving him time to bind her with energy chains.
"You don't get to die yet, Anthy. He dies first."
Bakura pointed to Yami who was lying on the ground. "You get to watch him die."
Anthy struggled against her bonds, and Bakura walked over to Kinta, laughing.
"Liar!"
"Not in the least. Ah, Bakura I see Anthy has been dealt with. Wonderful. "
Yami used his strength to stab at Kinta, but she ducked away, "No pharaoh. No killing family - that's not very nice.."
"You're related to him?!"
Bakura asked shocked.
"Yes. He's my brother-younger brother."
"I don't believe you ." Yami panted, Bakura picked him up and held his arms behind him. Yami struggled but couldn't get away. Kinta sent another wave of dark energy at him. Then she spoke.
"Well how about I tell you all about it then? You see, your father ordered my death when I was born, a daughter was disgraceful. Mother pitied me and sent me to the temple of Sekhmet to hide me. I grew up hidden. I visited mother, she was the only one to ever show compassion to me. And then father killed her, but you suspected that didn't you? You knew her death wasn't an accident, it was your father; he had her murdered because he thought she was plotting against him. It was really me and the others; same ones you fought in the shadow games a few years later. And father's death- I did that. Killed him with these hands and this knife." Kinta pulled the ivory handled dagger out and held it before Yami-the blade shining, "Yes, this blade killed your father and will kill you too. But not yet."
Yami couldn't believe it, she was making this up to confuse him; that had to be it. He had no sister, but Kinta knew more than she should have about his parents deaths, could she be who she said she was? Yami didn't know.
"Still don't believe I see. Well, I can show you, using the band you can relive my memories."
The band swallowed Yami into it's gold light, Yami's head swirled, his eyes shut tight, when he opened them he was in Egypt.
~*~*~
"Kinta, you must go now, it's getting late. And really, you must be careful, I think he knows, don't come for awhile."
"Alright mother," a teenaged Kinta-about 16, said, nodding; she hugged her mother before slinking off into the shadows. She waited as guards passed her, ears and eyes open wide, she barely took a step before she heard it.
"What are doing in here?"
Pharaoh's orders."
"What?….. No! It's not what you think…. i wasn't …no!" Kinta heard her mother scream and terrified she turn back to the room, she peered in, and saw her mother lying dead on the floor, her fathers guards stood over her, one with a bloody knife, Kinta's eyes widened, and her heart froze. Anger and pain boiled over as she saw them leave her mother dead.
~*~*~
"No!" Yami was jolted back to reality for a second before seeing more memories.
The look of terror on his face just made Kinta smile.
~*~*~
It was a secret meeting. Deep in the temple of Ra, the priests gathered.
"Something must be done about the pharaoh, he needs to be destroyed, and when Yami takes the throne we can challenge him."
"Who? Who to do it?"
"And how?"
"Poison? Or an attack-make it seem like a bandit?"
Murmurs turned though the room. No one wanted to take the lead to kill the pharaoh, the reward would be great but if caught the punishment would be twice that.
"I will"
The rest turned to Kinta.
"You?! Child, you cannot do this."
"I'm no child, who here can get in and out of the palace undetected? Me. I can slip in, kill him, and get out before they hear the body fall."
Murmurs went around again. Kinta was 17 but had proved herself, and her apt for shadow magic raised her position further.
"She'll do it." Seto announced, "She'll take care of him, but when you fail you're on your own."
Kinta smirked at Seto; he was here because of her tweaks to his mind. He'd come along nicely, was exactly who she wanted him to be. Trusted by the pharaoh and Yami, close to everything, but only so he could take it.
"If I fail you mean, which I won't. He'll be dead, three days. Three days and he'll be out of our way for good."
~*~*~
Kinta raised the dagger, "You tried to kill me, you killed my mother, and now it's time you felt the pain. Goodbye daddy."
The pharaoh eyes flew wider open and shut as the dagger penetrated his chest. He fell to the floor.
His last thought
/Ra-damned bitch of a daughter, just like me. /
~*~*~
"Believe Yami?"
Yami woke back into reality, the visions….
Yami stared blankly at Kinta. He'd just witnessed his parent's deaths-again. Not matter how much he had hated his father seeing him killed; no being the one killing him - he had seen everything from Kinta's view, they were her memories after all.
"Oh come one Yami don't tell me the great pharaoh couldn't handle it?"
Yami tried to regain his thoughts, he had to fight, they would kill him if he didn't.
"Well I think it's time to end this Yami; Bakura, bring Anthy over. I have an idea…"
_*_*_
heh heh heh, you know it now, she's his sister,
Kinta-I hate my family.
Kil-you liked your mom.
Kinta-well she was al nice and saved me from being killed when I was born!
Mwhahahaha… well one more chapter left. And I left you a nice cliffhanger for a present….
