Ummmmm I'm going to make a new estimation, I reckon 20 chapters will do it! ^_^ We'll soon see! Things will be getting evil soon MWA HAHAHAHA ~.~0
(On to the fic)
Yami stood on a tall dune of sand, looking out at the vast river of golden dust. The sun was high and making everything with no shadow scorching hot. Yami was sweating and wishing for an ice pack as he looked for a landmark or some sort of guide. Yami closed his eyes [The sands….. They offer me no help……. I need to find out where Sette's palace was!] the more he looked the less helpful and more daunting the task seemed.
Seto was looking around [Great….. I'm stuck here, in the middle of no where with that idiot Yami! He doesn't even know where to go let alone how to save Yugi! We're pretty much doomed!!] Seto looked down and saw a scorpion crawling passed, he snarled and kicked it out of irritation.
(Meanwhile)
Yami Bakura stood looking up, in to space, he wasn't really looking at anything, more inside himself [Yami… I will make you pay! The pain you've caused me….. I won't let you live happily! First you ruined my life in Egypt then you ruined my plans here too? I can't let you live! You have forever bothered me! I will end your petty, worthless life…… I wish…. That I could make you feel all the pain I have, you would die a death far more painful if you knew how I felt!] Yami Bakura snarled and focused his powers in to his ring, Bakura appeared next to him.
Bakura backed up in shock "…. A-ah…. Where---where am I?" He softly whispered.
Yami Bakura grinned at his other half, a cruel smirk that Bakura knew well, it was time for yet another beating. Yami Bakura grabbed his other half by his hair and threw him across the room with unnerving force, he watched his softer half slump to the floor. Bakura felt himself being grabbed again and slammed in to a wall, this time he coughed up a little blood, he was sure a rib had cracked. Yami Bakura then wrenched the boy up so they were face to face "Beg for your life whelp! You weakling! You are pathetic!" Yami Bakura snarled, he glared in to the bloody and beaten face of Bakura "Look at you! I only have to throw you and look, you're such a waste of life!" Yami Bakura then threw Bakura to the floor, obviously losing interest in the fearful boy.
Bakura rubbed his cheek and surpassed the tears he felt, crying only angered his Yami further and made his pain a lot deeper [Why? When did I hurt you?] Bakura thought as a few silent tears hit the stone of the tomb/temple they were in.
Yami Bakura walked over to Yugi and looked at he silent, emotionless boy "Naziruth! Break your hold on him! I want a little fun!"
Naziruth looked up then nodded and waving her hand she released her hold over Yugi's soul. Yugi looked around "Huh? Where's Yami? Ahhh Yami Bakura….. Why am I here…. What are you doing here?"
Yami Bakura grinned and summoned a knife "I'm here to kill your Yami and to hurt you…. I'll kill you later but for now…. I'll have my fun at Yami's expense!" Yami Bakura grinned and with his dark strength he caught Yugi by his throat and slammed him back in to a pillar.
Yugi groaned out in pain "Yami….. Please… help me!…… Where are you? You promised you said you'd protect me!" the voice was a choked whisper, but Yami had heard every word.
Yami Bakura laughed he rose the blade and then slit Yugi's cheek with it, skin opened and revealed thick, red blood to Yami Bakura. The wound marring his flesh and making Yugi cry in pain, Yami Bakura took a deep delight in the whimpers Yugi made.
(Back in the desert)
Yami gasped as blood began to slide down his cheek "YUGI!!" He cried running forward, he suddenly knew the way, his puzzle glowed and forced him forward, the ancient powers seemed to awaken his senses, he knew that instant where to go!
Seto looked up from where he had been prodding a dung beetle with his shoe, only to see Yami dashing off "RUNT! YAMI WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU GOING!?" Seto bellowed, giving chase. He chased after the running midget, that could cover surprising distances when he wanted to, and kick up enough sand as he ran to create a huge sand dune. Seto muttered to himself and sand flicked in his face "I swear……. I really better get something good from all this!" He continued to chase Yugi, cursing him and yelling when he was headed.
Yami ignored him, he just knew where to go and he would not have his concentration spoilt by Seto, there was just no way! Yami thought to himself [Aibou! Now I will find you, punish Yami Bakura and then we'll go! Go home! That's where you belong my light…. A home with your friends and me….] Yami sighed and closed his eyes, he had no need for sight, the path was clear in his mind.
(Meanwhile)
Yami Bakura looked up "So your Yami knows where the next clue is eh? Well he'll probably die there anyway, ironic he'll die in a place he loved……" Yami Bakura closed his eyes and because to chant in his mind, he would give Yami a very strong opponent. Suddenly his thoughts were interrupted.
"M-My lord…" It was Jahkat, the withered old zombie hung in the temple's inner sanctum like a very bad smell.
"What is it Jahkat!?" Yami Bakura growled.
"I-I want to talk out the pharaoh….. he causes me such pain!" Jahkat looked determined, his socket eyes burned with fiery rage. His plea would have been entirely sinister and evil, had his left arm not fallen off at that precise moment. Laughter echoed around him from all the demons, Jahkat glared around in embarrassment, he was losing control of his body, he was starting to truly rot away. He looked at the limb, it lay there, infested with maggots, mushroom coloured and wrinkly like crumpled paper. The fingernails were clotted with dirt and grime, and the fingers had blotchy purple and blue spots on them. Jahkat shuddered at himself, Yami had turned him in to a true monster.
Yami Bakura looked at the pathetic monster and thought [You are becoming quite a liability, maybe I'll give you this chance if only to be rid of you because of it!] Yami Bakura looked Jahkat as the zombie bow then he snarled "Very well! Take your chance, if you lose then I think Gebora will get to punish you!" Gebora made a wild, sadistic laugh of glee and looked over at the zombie with a dark grin.
Jahkat gulped and left the room, taking his arm with him, he would need to find some way of re-grafting it to his body.
(Back in the desert)
Yami finally reached an area where there were paving stones of sorts, the ground had become much hard, even though it was still covered in a ton of sand. Yami looked around, there was a familiar scent, a reek smell of rot. Of rotting meat, the sickly sweet scent of foul flesh hung around them and disgusted Seto's nose, Yami was not bothered by the scent, he was accustomed to it [I'm smelt death and the rotting all my life… it won't kill me now.] Yami thought as he took slow steps toward a ruined, but grandeur looking construction.
Seto looked around him, his blue eyes wide with a nostalgic feeling of familiarity and of peace. He felt at home, like he had returned to some kind of landing, a place where his family roots originated. But…. That was NOT possible he had come from Japan, he never found anything of Egyptian heritage in the logs, he had gone back as far as any one person could, with out being bogged down with smaller, less important relatives. As Seto wandered and looked in silent awe he began to see things, visions of how this palace had once looked.
[Pharaoh! My Pharaoh you have returned!]
{Yes… I have… the council with Nahkat went well….}
[That is good my lord, is there anything else you wish of us? Your servants]
{No….}
[Very well then Pharaoh Sette! We shall leave you to rest after the journey]
Seto looked up and whispered "So…… I was….. once here? I see my own visions…. Yami… was right." Seto closed his eyes and thought of how it was possible, it began to make sense. No one could truly trace their family to the BC period, there were probably no records of births and deaths….. He looked at the ruin [So this…… this crippled palace IS my heritage? My proof of existing in this world?] Seto sighed deeply before catching up to Yami, there would be much to think over now.
Yami looked around, his crimson eyes burned with furious realisation, this was NOT the temple where they were keeping Yugi, Yami Bakura had lead him off track once again! Suddenly Yami's ears were filled with a dark, mocking, painful laughter. The laughter echoed everywhere, all around the two young boys. Yami yelled out "SHOW YOURSELF DEMON!!" the laughter continued to echo through out their minds.
Finally a voice hissed "This is it Nahkat, Sette this is where I bury you!" ………….
