Chapter 12: A Bright Future, a Troubling Past
Nuriko: *blinks* Okay, another chapter ^^ Yay! Tea Gardener just came back from her date with Yami Yugi and his Aibou, sure looks like they had fun! ^_^
Yugi: ^________^ Yep!
Yami: That is one hell of a smile!
Tea Gardener: Well I'll see you two later! Call me! ^_^ *walks off*
Nuriko: Let's see now…Toby paid to make out with Yami Bakura, Yami Malik, Malik and Ryou ^^ While Yami Toby paid for…Yami Yugi and Yugi!
*rooms pop up out of nowhere and Toby goes into one followed by one of the bishounen while Yami Toby goes into the other followed by Yami Yugi*
Nuriko: ^^ You know, someday I'll have to add how much money we actually made from this ^^;;
*about 30 minutes pass*
Toby: That was fun ^_^
Yami Toby: ^^ Well I was right, Yugi is as good as his Yami.
Toby and Yami Toby: See ya! *waves to the guys*
Malik: Bye! -^_^-
Nuriko: Now, Double Trouble Togepi had an interesting request. Instead of herself and a bishounen we had Mai and Joey getting together.
Joey: …WHAT?!
Mai: Joking…please say you are.
Nuriko: Nope! *drags them to each other*
Joey: *bright red*
Mai: Umm…
Joey: *kisses Mai very shyly on the lips*
Mai: *turns bright red and dashes away*
Nuriko: We have chemistry! ^_~ Oh and Kiyoshi-chan requested 10 kisses from Ryou, 2 from Yami Yugi, 1 from Yami Bakura, 1 from Malik and 1 from Yugi. *points towards room to the left*
Ryou: *quite embarrassed and blushing, goes into room first*
*All bishounen act civilly and wait their turns, though in expectance*
Kiyoshi: *appears a little while late, smiling brightly*
Nuriko: Thanks for visiting! *Room disappears, showing the end of the kissing booth line* Ah, now lastly Kami will be going on a date with Ryou!
Ryou: *blushes*
Kami and Ryou: *walk off together to the movies and other fun places*
Nuriko: We will conclude their date in the next chapter! ^_^ On to the story now! (Questions asked in the reviews will be answered at the end of the story!)
"Serenittyyyy!!!" Seto yelled to no avail as he watched his girlfriend begin to glow a bright silver color before her eyes go blank.
"No Serenity!" Joey cried out before clutching his stomach in pain.
"I am no longer Serenity…but do not worry, she will come back to you", Says a soft voice from Serenity's body. Then the silver light faded away and the figure no longer looked like Serenity. She was tall with pale white skin and long blonde hair. The woman from the paintings…
"…Ce..Cecelia…?" Pegasus says, his vice soft but shocked. "Is…is that really you?" He asks.
"Yes…Maximillion…it is me. This young girl gave me part of the precious minutes in her life that she had to let me spend time with you again…" Cecelia said softly.
"I've…I've missed you so much." He reached forward and held his wife in a strong embrace.
"And I have missed you too. I am so sorry I have caused you all this pain in your life…please, won't you come up to heaven with me now?"
"But…I can't yet…" He said, his eyes growing serious.
"Yes you can Pegasus…let your hate for us go and go with your wife to heaven…here….let my set your soul free!" He held out his hand and the Millennium Puzzle began to glow a bright gold color, From Pegasus' body came a dark shadow of a person, its eyes gleaming red.
"How dare you!" The creature shouted as Pegasus smiled and quietly whispered a thank you to everyone before disappearing. "How dare you take away my human body!" It hissed angrily.
"Stay where you are!" Yami Yugi said his voice threatening and powerful.
"Yes, I do suggest that you do." A female voice said. Everyone turned sharply to see Serenity back in her normal state, Cecelia having returned to heaven with Pegasus. But next to her stood another person. This new woman was clad in ancient Egyptian clothing and her dark reddish brown hair held many silver ornaments.
"It can't be…Shiana?" Yami Yugi eyes widened in surprise.
"So it is you who inhabits that bracelet…just as we thought." Yami Bakura gave a cold smirk.
"You were always too smart for your own good Bakura." Shiana replies.
"No I have you!" The dark force surged forward, determined to take control of the nearest person, Serenity.
"I don't think so!" Shiana said. She quickly formed a bright light barrier around her and Serenity which sent the dark figure flying backwards.
"Damn you!" It cursed loudly.
"That's enough!" Yami Yugi quickly raised his hand and with a powerful blast of light the figure exploded with an ear deafening scream.
All of a sudden Serenity felt dizzy and she collapsed hard on the floor. Her friends rushed over and soon everyone was heading back to Seto Kaiba's mansion. All of them tired and relived to have things back to normal.
- - - - -
"So then Shiana…you are the spirit of Yami Yugi's old lover, eh?" Joey asked, his eyebrows rising in surprise.
"That is correct, friend of Serenity." Shiana replied, her voice serious and full of poise.
"You can just call me Joey." Joey replied, blushing slightly in embarrassment. She nodded and stared off out of a nearby window.
"It has been quite a while since I've had a form like this…since I could smell the warm spring breeze…hear birds sing…" She trails off.
"I'm sure it has…" Speaks up another voice. Shiana turns around and then turns around quickly.
"It's been a while Pharaoh…" Shiana stands slowly and walks to him. Almost like in slow motion she raises her hand and slaps him smartly around his face before she bolts out of the door.
"Shiana, wait!" Yami Yugi yells after her, but to no avail. There was no response.
- - - - -
"Serenity…please wake up soon…" Mokuba mutters in his sleep as he leans on Serenity's bed next to Seto.
"He's right you know…in his hopes that is. You need to wake up soon…or I don't know what I'll do…" Seto trails off, his eyes saddening as he clutches Serenity's hand tightly.
"I didn't know you cared so much…" Came a weak response. Seto's eyes fly open as he stares into Serenity's face and weak but comforting smile. "I would hate to see you if I ever left on a vacation without you…" She jokes in a soft tone before being embraced tightly by Seto.
"Don't do that ever again…" He said softly into her ear.
"Do what?"
"Scare me into thinking I might not have you at my side again…"
"Don't worry…this time…I'm here for good."
- - - - -
"Damn you…why did you have to be there when I finally am able to live again…why are you always here haunting me?!" Shiana screams into the night sky, cursing her fate. "I didn't want to see you again…" Her voice softens and she sinks slowly to the ground and covers her face with her hands.
And it is there that she continues to sit through the night, crying…
Nuriko: Okay…odd chapter ending I know. But I want to develop a bit of a conflict now between Shiana and Yami. But don't worry, Serenity and Seto will still have a lot to do with the story and you'll be in for a good surprise at the end.
Oh, and on one last note, I will be closing the kissing booth down. I'm really sorry. I'll finish off all the dates but I don't have time to write any more of the kissing scenarios anymore. I have enough trouble finding time to write the chapter. Please understand and thank you for reading this far.
