Hey guys. I know I took forever posting this. I hope you can forgive for
the cliffhanger in the last chapter. Sorry for the one in this chapter,
too, come to that. The next chapter will be the last. Probably no sequal
since only Sailor Saturn seemed to like it at all. While I think about it,
thanks a lot to Sailor Saturn for being my first (and only) reviewer. And
now, on with the fic!
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* "Your act is equal of high treason," the pharaoh thundered, "Desecrating the graves of past pharaohs has sealed your fate. Guards! Capture him!" "Wait!" Kuro, no, Seth, yelled, "Please, just let me explain!" "Your punishment shall befit your crime, tomb thief! Your soul will be sealed inside the Pendant of Horus!" the pharaoh commanded, "Do not try to escape, your fate is sealed!"
"And this tablet depicts the pharaoh, Yami, sentencing a young man, by the name of Seth, for robbing the pharaohs' tombs," the tour guide droned on, not noticing the dazed expression on the face of the tomb robber's look-alike, nor the concern in his "twin sister's" eyes. She had worked in this museum too long to care about how the visitors reacted to the exhibits, it was just another part of her dull, dull life. No reason to get excited. "Now, if you'll follow me over here."
"Kuro? Kuro, what's the matter?" Jennifer tried desperately to rouse Kuro from his trance, the trance he had been in since they had seen the stone tablet. She had seen the similarity Kuro shared with the ancient tomb robber, but she had no explanation for Kuro's sudden dreamlike state. Suddenly, she was pulled into Sephiroth's past. She was dropped into the pharaoh's chamber at the very time the guards began their headlong rush at Sephiroth. With a cry, she jumped on one of Seth's would-be attackers, trying to give him a chance to escape, not questioning her sudden trip to the past. "Run Kuro!" she yelled, hoping he would save himself. Instead, Jennifer found Kuro running after her, and the unfortunate guard she had attacked. "I'm coming Jennifer! Hang on!" Seth ran as fast as he could, bravely trying to save her. "No Kuro! You run, I'll try to catch up with you later!" She might as well have said nothing. Seth had already caught up with her and was now trying to pull her off the guard.
'There's no way I'll let this happen again,' Seth thought fiercely, 'Not after what happened last time.' The thought of the first time this memory had occurred gave Seth the strength to pull Jennifer off of the panicking guard. "Hurry Jennifer, we have to hide before they catch us!"
'What is that creature?" Yami had never seen anything like it before. The strange being had an odd, multi-colored upper half, mysterious brown thing where feet should have been, and a blue, rough-looking lower half. 'Such an unusual animal is fit only for the royal menagerie.' He wasn't about to let such a unique presence escape with a lowly tomb thief. Especially if that creature spoke Egyptian! "Guards! Seize them!" 'The gods must be very pleased with me,' Yami thought, 'to allow me to capture a tomb robber and such a remarkable beast on the same day!'
'Now we're in for it!' Jennifer thought as the remaining guards rushed after them. Seth and Jennifer ran for the exit, with the guards close on their heels. "Follow me, Jennifer," she heard Seth yell, "they'll never find us if you just follow me!"
"They'll never find us if you just follow me!" 'I hope she heard me,' Seth thought, as he ran through the doorway. Over several sand dunes they ran. After they had reached the bottom of the last tall dune, Seth pulled up a rope that had been hidden beneath the sand, revealing a wooden trap door. "Hurry, go in," Seth hissed, indicating the passageway the trap door had revealed. Into the passageway they ran, with Seth pulling the door closed behind them. The shifting desert sands hid their footprints. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Yami- Yah-me; darkness/dark For the record: Yami-pharaoh Jennifer-15 year-old girl who holds the Pendant of Horus Seth-tomb robber whose soul is trapped in the Pendant of Horus
