(ON TO DA FIC-AY ^_^)
(Somewhere in Egypt)
Deep in a dank, dark, musty old temple Yami Bakura stood watching Yami and Seto through a pale blue, crystal orb. His face was twisted in to a slight snarl, through the loss of Naziruth but the wounds on Yami's body made that loss a little more bearable. Yami Bakura turned to look at Yugi; it was a good thing that the boy was now chained to a pillar, like his light, both of them were curled up in fear. Yami Bakura walked up to Yugi and looked at him with a sneer "So… you really think your precious Yami will save you?" Yami Bakura made a bark of laughter "It isn't going to happen Yugi… he'll either die or wind up forgetting all about you…" Yami Bakura then smirked and roughly grabbed Yugi's chin and tipped his face up "……" He looked in to Yugi's wide violet eyes and smirked darkly, there would be plenty of time to scare the hell out of the little boy.
Yugi blinked and stared at Yami Bakura, he tried to back up, to pull away from the white haired teen who was giving him the most wolfish looks he'd ever seen in his life. Not that Yugi had really ever seen a wolfish look but he knew that Yami Bakura was giving him one, those feral deep brown eyes they stuck in Yugi's mind. Yugi blinked then backed up, as much as the chains would allow. But Yami Bakura followed, until he had Yugi backed up against a pillar, looking at him with dark, wild eyes. Yugi yelped then said "L-leave me alone! Please!"
Yami Bakura smiled dreamily "Haahaahaha and leave alone the chance to make Yami suffer? I think not little Yugi!" Yami Bakura held Yugi's face closer to his then rose the knife again "I think that your little face, stained with blood, and crossed with scars is such a beautiful thing!" Yami Bakura then laughed again and dragged the knife over the soft skin, making blood ooze down Yugi's cheek. Yami Bakura watched as tears mixed with blood making long red streaks over Yugi's face, he grinned a sly grin he knew Yami would be feeling all of the pain Yugi felt.
Yugi whimpered softly, he shook and shuddered in fear and pain he couldn't bear to be without his Yami and he was so alone and afraid, Bakura was chained up else where in the temple so he didn't even have a friend near by.
Yugi looked up to the ceiling of the temple then he whispered "Yami….. Please…. Save me… please? I need you... I'm so scared…….. I've never faced the darkness alone…. You've always been there….." His violet eyes closed as he tried to force sleep upon himself, but the stinging pain of his cheek kept him awake. The salty tears mixing with the fresh wound ached and throbbed, making Yugi curl in to a ball.
Yami Bakura suddenly grabbed Yugi by the hair and looked at him, pale skin, small frame, wide tear filled violet eyes the fearful boy actually looked quite beautiful to Yami Bakura. The blood that tainted his face a slight orangey red and the tears which smeared long streaks of red made him look so weak and helpless, Yami Bakura loved it. The fear, the whimpers all of it holding dominance over Yugi delighted him because he could tell that it hit Yami within, deep within.
Meanwhile in the shelter of the temple they had just conquered Seto and Yami sat, watching the sands blow in the wind. There was nothing else to watch and neither of them had summoned the courage to talk, they sat looking out blankly not focusing on anything, merely within. Yami was looking at his hands when he felt it. The stinging pain then the oozing blood his cheek was cut, his Aibou was being wounded he hoped Yugi had not felt any of the pain he had just endured but he knew that right now Yugi was scared and alone. Alone with that evil fiend Yami Bakura, who would more than happily cut Yugi up if it got to Yami, which it did. Yami made a slight growl and tried to brush the thickening blood off his cheek but managed to smear it over his hands and his face. Seto looked at Yami and noticed this he murmured in hushed tones "…. Yugi is being hurt again?" Yami could only nod. Seto quashed the urge to hold the smaller boy he couldn't open up he had lived happily just him and Mokuba for ages now. He couldn't just let go of his principals even if he did feel such warmth around Yami and such contentment. He shook his head realising that he was staring and frowning slightly he managed to splutter out "Well hopefully once you're a little better we'll manage to save him!" Yami only nodded again, lost deep in pain he couldn't even utter a simple yes.
Yami closed his eyes and made a deep and slightly sad sigh he knew that at this moment he was losing; losing his light, his love and possibly his mind there was so much to question about himself his feelings just his whole being. But with a mental slap he regained his focus there was a task at hand and he needed to fulfil it. He had to rescue Yugi and stop Y. Bakura in his tracks there was nothing else which needed explaining or questioning who or what he was and his life could wait until Yugi was safe and happy once again. His heart would have to wait. Yami looked to Seto and whispered in a dry, pained voice "Thank you Seto."
Seto blinked no one had ever really thanked him, except Mokuba, not for a single thing he had done this threw his cold façade slightly and he smiled a genuine smile "It's ok." His normally cold icy blue eyes lost their bitterness for a brief moment and warmth that he hid within shone but as quickly as he was thrown off by Yami's niceness he was also knocked back in to his cold front. He wasn't ready even if his heart was after years of closure he couldn't yet, not yet. Seto cleaned the blood from Yami's cheek he wanted to pull Yami to him but after wiping away the blood he resumes his sitting, blue eyes staring at nothing.
The two boys sat for hours just thinking, silently wishing the other would make the first move but unknown to them they were not alone, something watched them from a distance, eyes of blue fury watched them, narrowing in to a smirking snarl. The hulking form began to head towards them, every step it took shook the ground slightly thick leather boots padded over the sand, gauntlet protected hands curled in to fists as the figure neared his targets. Yami looked up at the presence and the feeling of the quaking earth, his eyes of blood met with furious blue and he blinked "A demon? I assume?" He said calmly, as though he had expected it.
There was no acknowledgement from the man merely glances at the two then a twisted smirk, one of cunning and cruel evil, which made Yami shiver the man loomed over them, his fiery hair gleamed in the setting sun, looking like it was ablaze. Yami noticed that on the figures back was a sword a huge zweihander blade his hand moved to the blade and he pulled it out and listened to the "Shink" it made, the sword glistened against the now setting sun "I am Tirwaz, I am a demon, one of blood shed and power. I've come to kill you, you shall not go any further."
Yami looked at Tirwaz his crimson eyes held no fear of his opponent Yami rose to a stand, even though dwarfed by Tirwaz he still seemed to hold a great air of power and will, Seto looked between the two then watched as Yami held up his hand in a tightly clenched fist and growled "Come then. I shall duel you Tirwaz." The crimson eye burned with a readiness to battle and the resolve to win. Seto then watched the dark smirk that crossed Tirwaz's lips he snorted and turned his back on the two, raising a single large hand and motioning for them to follow his lead. Seto rose and stood by Yami, then followed with him as Tirwaz led them over the now cooling desert sands towards a great arena, built of bone, onyx and black marble it reeked of blood and of death. The hairs on both boys necks stirred at the sight of the dim, dank rotten arena and the air of death, the clouds above the arena had turned black, nothing could penetrate the darkness that surrounded them. Yami looked around, crimson eyes narrowed in the darkness, looking for the demon that had brought them to the arena, his eyes squinted to see but a few inches in front of his face so locating that demon was impossible "Show yourself, or are you a coward? Can you not face me?"
Seto stood not far from Yami, he could feel Yami's heat to his left so he knew he wasn't alone [I suppose that is a saving grace…. I'm not….. alon--] Seto shook his head hard, since when did he care about being alone? Why did Yami, his rival, suddenly calm him with his presence alone just Yami being next to him had suddenly become the most tranquil and calming thing. Seto's eyes closed as he listened to his own heartbeat, throbbing close to his throat, the sounds of the arena the silence which brought blood roaring in his ears ice blue eyes opened but not to the arena but to a sudden vision Seto felt his head spin and his stomach lurch as he mind slipped deep in to memories long past.
"Maluki! Maluki! I demand an explanation! What is the meaning of this!?" Sette stormed down the hallway of his palace furiously, doors slamming behind him as he pushed through them looking for his advisor. His eyes burned with icy rage, his lips curled in an angry growl and his brows furrowed angrily "Where are you!?" He stormed to his throne room and looked around for Maluki, he found the young tanned blonde sitting looking out of a window, obviously tensed as he sat his shoulders hunched. Sette snarled softly and stormed right over to the young man, watching him turn to his Pharaoh with calm lavender eyes "Maluki!!" Sette snarled.
"Yes my lord?" Maluki asked, brushing some sand coloured blonde hair from his eyes, his head cocked to one side with his lavender eyes staring in to the Pharaohs.
"What is the meaning of inviting such practises to my kingdom?" Snarled Sette "This kingdom does not welcome the Shadows I do not wish for such duels to be held in my world! This is not a place for the Shadow Realm!"
"But My Lord….." Maluki looked at Sette then smiled "We have found you some beautiful and precious monsters for you to play with in the Realm."
Sette rose a single slender eyebrow "You have? Hmmm… what breed might these monsters be?" The competitor in him beginning to become interested in the offer of precious monsters coming under his command.
"Why dragons my lord, only the best for you, the rarest and most powerful dragons that any kingdom could offer. Three of them to be exact." Maluki rose and bowed before Sette "Might I show you their earthly appearance?"
Sette nodded, intrigued by the sound of three of the rarest dragons in the Realm of Shadows "Very well Maluki show me. But… if I am not satisfied by these beasts then I shall have you stripped of your pride and turned in to a slave!"
Maluki swallowed thickly, knowing full well his Pharaoh's mean streak was a solid promise of his fate if he displeased Sette, Maluki led his Pharaoh to a room, it was a sleeping chamber dimly lit by a few braziers, there was a bed in one corner draped and covered in black and purple silk, blocking the view within. Maluki walked up and brushed the silken drape back revealing 3 little dragon cubs, curled up asleep like new born pups their little eyes were closed tight and their jaws were slightly apart revealing lines of sharp teeth, small but evidently strong. Their bodies glistened a bronze-y silver in the orange blaze of the braziers, tined a blue-ish grey, their little wings were curled around their round but sleek frames. Small claws propped up their heads and long shining tails curled round their bodies in a protective ball like state. They were beautiful. Simply beautiful. "Here they are my Lord. They are Blue Eyes. The race of White Dragons, powerful and fierce they have long since been feared for their destructive light powers."
Sette gazed over the three baby Dragons, the beautiful babies, with a softer gaze than he gave to his advisors he sat at the edge of the bed and looked down on them, wanting to stroke them. He placed a hand on the nearest ones back, amazing in how warm it felt the metal body was smooth under his slender cool hands, it felt like he were stroking warm jade or marble. The cubs were exquisite. Sette smiled a content smirk and murmured "Well done Maluki I am pleased. You may leave now." Maluki left quickly after being pardoned, leaving his Pharaoh to his Dragon Cubs. Sette picked up the one nearest him, it was the largest, and heavy in his hands he held it to his chest and looked down, it was adorable but even he could see through this young façade that these were ferocious powerful beasts.
The cub in his arms began to stir making soft purring squeaks as it stretched, wings flexing and claws stretching out against Sette's chest, then blue eyes, deep azure near cobalt eyes opened and looked up meeting glacier icy eyes. The cub tilted its head as it looked at Sette, as if making its mind up about whether or not to trust Sette or to even listen him then it's decision was made clear as it was offered a piece of honeycomb. The dragon took the sweet clump in its claws and began to lick and gnaw on it its little teeth leaving deep bites in the honeycomb.
Sette chuckled at the little dragon as it ate happily, he brought a hand down over the cubs back sitting content to just hold the beast "… What to name you three? …. Hmmm it will take some thought…" Sette smiled as the dragon looked up at him with a cheeky sort of glint in it's' eyes. Sette smirked at the little thing and set it down next to its' two partners then he moved towards the door and opened it, leaving towards his room.
That night was cool, the sands were not as hot and the air was less humid Sette laid on his bed wishing more than anything to hold Nahkat close, it had been such a long time since they had been close or even in eyeshot of one another he longed to hold his Pharaoh he longed to touch him, kiss him, love him. Sette made a soft sigh his bed though big was cold… lonely. Suddenly his thoughts and longings were interrupted by three squeaks Sette sat up and saw at the doorway to his room three cubs, big blue eyes looking at him, he smiled "Did you three know….. What I was thinking?" his question was met by nodding of little heads. Sette smiled and patted the bed "Then…. Will you keep me company?" he asked the cubs watching as they scampered over and climbed up on to the silken sheets, snuggling close to the dark haired teen. Sette smiled and laid with the three Blue Eyes White Dragons content to just be in their light his ice blue eyes closed and he drifted in to a dream softly murmuring "Mmmm….. Nah….Nahkat….."
Seto suddenly regained his vision in the dark arena and blinked, his mind was slowly becoming torn in two, one part of him.. felt… things warm, contented things the other part of him felt resentment of these feelings, part of him was the cold Seto he had lived with since him and Mokuba had been adopted he didn't know what to think anymore, who to be, what to feel, how to be. Seto brought his hands to his head and clutched at his throbbing, painful head […W…w….what……. am… I meant to feel?] Seto questioned inwardly [Who... Who am I meant to be?.......] His eye glazed over as he slowly began to lose himself to his confused feelings his heart feeling like it was either being torn or shattered, he hadn't even realised if he had a heart or not until he had looked at Yami twice. But now years of coldness were colliding with new feelings of love and want and hope. Seto slowly began to slip in to a trance, a state of silent thoughtlessness.
Yami closed his eyes, his sennen eye glowing in the darkness, he picked up on Seto's sudden loss of emotion he looked back at Seto with worried Crimson eyes [He's battling with emotions that he's not had in 5'000 years…. He's fighting the abuse and teachings of his adoptive father…. I can feel him getting lost and scared…… by his heart] Yami had to hold back the urge to pull Seto in to his arms and cradle him like a young child, to stroke his soft looking brown chestnut hair. Finally Yami held his hand out to the darkness and used the powers of his puzzle to clear the black mist like darkness that surrounded them. Tirwaz suddenly appeared at Yami's side and punched his face, making a deep dent in his cheek and blood pouring from his upper lip where he bit it. Tirwaz sneered at the great Pharaoh who seemed like a puny little teen with no power in his punch and no magical ability behind him.
"Humph you aren't very strong are you?" Tirwaz murmured with a sneering smirk, his bright eyes seemed to glitter with menace. Yami wiped blood from his mouth, looking down at it then snorting he looked Tirwaz directly in the eyes, not backing down and not at all afraid his confidence was very evident and seemed to clash with Tirwaz's arrogance. The two just stood staring each other down, nothing seeming to happen but within both men were measuring one another up, Tirwaz did not think highly of his opponent and Yami saw this and knew this would be Tirwaz's downfall. "Very well small cur I challenge you." Tirwaz said in a regal, yet condescending tone
Yami snorted and said with an equally condescending tone "Very well… let us duel."
"No no Pharaoh I shall not play with silly bits of card or rely upon foolish beasts to do my work. I shall challenge you to a battle of fists. None of that foolish hiding behind things." Tirwaz smirked then turned, long fiery locks spilling behind him as he strode over the other side of the arena, not even waiting for Yami's response. He didn't need to. Yami would have to agree or risk leaving Yugi alone for a very long time, the demons could set all the rules and all Yami could do was sit and accept whatever they laid down before him.
"…Very well demon…. I must accept your one on one combat… but I warn you do not mock me based upon my size." Yami's eyes were crimson slits, which glared at Tirwaz with malice and an intent readiness to fight.
[N-Nahkat?.... Help me…..] Seto was quickly losing himself in the darkened arena, losing himself to the darkness to a side of him he hadn't encountered he was slipping and falling yet Yami could not come to him Seto closed his eyes tight and tried to block out the voice in his mind [Nahkat….. why won't you love me? … Please Nahkat… come to my side….] Seto tried desperately to mute the voice or ignore it or pretend it was not real. His brow furrowed in to a deep from and he made a soft whimper of pain as he fell in to total darkness.
Tirwaz rose his fists in a stance and watching Yami take a stance too Tirwaz ran forward and caught the small teen deep in the abdomen with his knee, the kick lifted Yami a few feet from the ground Yami spat some blood up as he was then thrown to the floor, landing in the blood soaked sand below. Tirwaz walked towards the fallen boy, his armoured body making soft "clanks" as he moved, Yami opened his eyes and waited for Tirwaz to get a little closer, the demon was soon a foot or so from him then suddenly he did a thrust kick deep in to Tirwaz's gut, making the man hiss deeply in pain then chuckle lowly amused by the fight the boy had. Yami twirled round and kicked Tirwaz deep in the jaw, causing an equal dent in the hulking giants left cheek. Tirwaz spat some black blood from his mouth then with a slight snarl he grabbed Yami by the face then he lifted the pharaoh up high in to the air, at least 7 feet up then he brought Yami crashing down in to the ground. Yami groaned softly in pain then he rolled back to a stand, crimson eyes narrowing in anger then Yami ran forward and brought his elbow deep in to Tirwaz's gut cracking a rib and making Tirwaz falls to the dusty ground clutching his stomach.
Their battle continued and became more and more violent, soon the floor was bloody as were the two fighters, neither could see properly and both were clinging on to consciousness Yami glared over at the hulking demon of war, he knew that he couldn't fight much longer. He silently prayed to his deck, knowing it would grant him strength, it had helped him so far in his quest to save his Aibou it would help him out here too. He found himself hoping that Seto was ok or at least that he wasn't getting lost in his emotions as he stood thinking of Seto Tirwaz rose his hand, blue light softly glowing and crackling around his tightly clenched fist sparks of lightning surrounded him. He then threw forth a great bolt of blue lightning at Yami, watching intently as it raced towards its target Yami managed to avoid it his sennen eye glowed softly as he rose his hand and summoned a plume of glittering orange fire, bright sparkling embers rose around him lighting his face making Yami's aura of anger seem to flare up then he threw the flames at Tirwaz watching as they engulfed him. Tirwaz made a loud scream of rage as the flames started to burn him and sear his skin and flesh, the fires began to burn through to the bone, orange tongues of fire licked off him as smoke rose from his now dying body. Tirwaz glared at Yami then hissed "P-Pathetic…. How…. Could I… have….. been defeated by…… a…. pathetic……. Lowly…. Worm… like you?"
Yami snorted at the arrogant demon then turned his back, watching the darkness around them lift and swirl away "You are a fool. You believe that because I am not a demon…. You think I could not have defeated you? I knew that you demons were over confident but it is pathetic to see quite how narrow minded your race is too." Yami then left the body to burn and walked over to Seto. "Seto…. Are you okay?" Crimson eyes watched Seto intently for his answer.
"I'm fine." Seto all but hissed as he brushed past Yami and walked off, coat trailing behind him. [… Feh …. I don't need anyone!... Just me and Mokuba. That's all!] Seto thought to himself as he left through the other part of the arena, ahead of Yami.
Crimson eyes blinked then furrowed in a frown "……Seto?......... You… cannot fight this alone can you? Yet….. you know not how to ask for or except help." Yami closed his eyes then walked after Seto.
The two walked, apart from each other for hours Seto clawing his mind back to how it had been before Egypt and Yami pondering, trying to gather the courage to admit to Seto how he felt and to comfort and help the one whom deep within he had loved for what felt like forever and in his soul was forever. Neither spoke they didn't look at each other or make any movement to try and converse they just walked along sands of time, preparing to fight the shadows of old Yami found himself wanting more and more to hold Seto to love him. He wanted Seto to save him from his loneliness and he wanted to melt the ice around Seto's heart yet. He had never had to admit such things, not in a long while at least, not since Sette. It didn't make sense to Yami for this was Sette just the future body of him however it didn't matter how much Yami tried he couldn't come up to Seto and tell him, was it fear? Of losing him again? Of admitting to having emotions? Something stopped Yami he began to wonder whether he was being too prideful, maybe he didn't want to admit to himself that he could love. He knew deep within that he had always loved Sette and now he knew in this time he loved Seto surely this was all he needed? To know how he felt, but then how did Seto feel? Was that what kept Yami from admitting? The chance that Seto would not return the love offered? Yami sighed deeply he couldn't even figure out his own emotions let alone help Seto with his it was at that moment even after defeating a great demon of war and battle, it was that very moment, that he felt his weakest. Crimson eyes closed tight and Yami wished for nothing more than to be back home with his Aibou, if Seto did love him then it would please him greatly to know but at that time he wanted Yugi back where he belonged, with Yami, as Yami's light.
Seto stood looking from a tall dune at the distance, there appeared to be some kind of town ahead and he wanted to rest he felt so tired and so cold within his mind was a confused mess that he couldn't solve and his heart seemed to freezing up more than it had ever done before, he was afraid to love, afraid of the pain, of being vulnerable. He hated it when people used Mokuba to get through his defences; he hated seeing Mokuba treated so callously and cruelly just because they wanted something from him. Let alone having a love, another person whom meant the world to him being used to hurt him or force him to do something. Seto shook his head, no he would not love, he could not love it would be best to just remain as he was Seto Kaiba and not to become someone whom had a heart and soul everyone told him he was cold and cruel and a jerk but it was a better fate than needing people and relying on others for support, survival of the fittest if you needed others and needed to lean on their shoulders then you didn't deserve to have a good life. No. He would remain as he had always been, as strong as ever, Seto Kaiba needed nobody he was fine all alone. His ice eyes scanned the sands slowly, his mind starting to swirl at the sight of the desert like this, the sun setting spreading a great golden orange glow over the grains of sand, making a brilliant picture. Once more he began to lose himself to a vision….
There is a yaoi warning here, so if you don't like Yaoi then move on down. (^.^;;;;;)
"N-Nahkat?" Sette softly whispered as he rose from sleep.
"… I am here my Pharaoh." Whispered a strong, confident voice that made Sette feel calm.
"Nahkat… You are here? How comes it?" Sette turned to face the smaller teen, ice eyes meeting crimson ones and gazing in to them.
"My advisors told me of your connections to the Shadow Realm so I came here under their knowledge as a rival but…. I come to you as Nahkat. Not as the challenging Pharaoh." Nahkats eyes were warm with affection for Sette, his hand reaching out and cupping Sette's cheek gently.
Sette moved closer to his Pharaoh loves warmth, enjoying it after so long, the feeling of his delicate hands touching his fare skin, after all this time it felt so good so comforting "I….. have missed you… much my love." Sette whispered softly, in a hushed breathless tone, his body moving closer until his lips brushed gently on Nahkats Adams apple.
Nahkat made a soft groan, enjoying the gentle touch of Settes lips to his throat, he had missed Sette so much and now at last he got to feel his love by his side "Mmm.. I have missed you…. Also Sette dearest." Nahkat murmured, nuzzling Settes head with his nose.
Subtle, delicate fingers moved to Nahkats chest and slowly snaked up, over the firm skin to a nipple then fingernails caressed the small bump delicately, lightly circling it then running over the tip with firmness. Sette moved his head and brushed his lips gently over the hard pink bump then his mouth moved to Nahkats and kissed him deeply, tongue urging Nahkat to open his lips. Nahkat parted his lips and allowed Settes tongue to taste his mouth Sette purred softly at the sweet taste of his love, his love tasted of spices and rich sweet foods, of wines and of fruit Sette sucked on Nahkats tongue, nibbling it in his mouth. As they kissed their hands wandered and caressed, they held each other tight loving the warmth and the security they brought one another. Finally their lips parted so they could breathe then Nahkat pulled Sette on to him for another kiss, laying back with Sette over him, his hands stroking down over the slender teens tall body, over toned chest muscles and brushing ever so gently over thighs, moving in slightly then back, stroking Settes upper thigh. Sette purred softly moving his hips forward, urging his lover to move his hands closer to him, Sette frowned when Nahkat moved his hand back up to his chest ice blue eyes frowned at mischievous crimson ones "…Do…Don't tease me…. Nahkat … I want you." Sette purred deeply shivering at the feelings of Nahkats graceful hands stroking him.
Nahkat chuckled and slipped round to that Sette was laying on his stomach, with Nahkat over him, laying his whole body skin to skin with Settes "Sette, dear sweet Sette, are you really ready…. Yet?" Nahkat whispered in a breathless purr deep in Settes ears. Nahkats lips moved over Settes neck and shoulders sucking and kissing on the perfect ivory skin, nibbling tasting the sweetness of his Pharaoh.
"Mmm….Nahkat I'm ready… I'm sure." Sette groaned deeply "Take me Nahkat…." Sette closed his eyes and moaned in delight as Nahkat moved a single finger to his tight virgin entrance. Then a second, slowly relaxing Sette making the tall teen shiver in pleasure, finally Nahkat slid a third and began to thrust deeply in to his love, kissing and nibbling on Settes back, he watching as Sette moved to his thrusts listening to the contented sigh of his love. Finally Sette felt ready and Nahkat moved himself over Sette, his throbbing member pressed gently to Settes relaxed entrance Nahkat shivered at the delicious feeling of skin against skin, of their mixing heat the sensation of being against his love with such a deep desire Nahkat entered Sette slowly and laid deeply in him for a moment, feeling the tight heat of his love and taking great pleasure from the experience. Sette began to move his hips up to Nahkat urging him to thrust deeply, Nahkat placed his hands on Settes hips, gripping his hips as he lifted himself up, his member moving out then he brought his hips down, sliding in to Sette. He began his deep fast thrusts, his eyes closed taking in every moment of being within his love Sette rocked and purred along with the thrusts, his mind, his body, his soul all locked together in bliss at feeling Nahkat inside him, thrusting deep and hard. Nahkat kissed along Settes shoulders and neck as his thrusts became deeper, he moved a hand round to Settes hardening shaft and took it in his hand, pumping and stroking it in time to his thrusts, fingers stroking.
Sette closed his eyes and cried out as he came in to Nahkats hand, his body relaxing after his orgasm, he felt Nahkat thrust harder until with a deep throaty purr Nahkat came deep in Sette, thrusting his seed deeply in to his love he feel beside Sette, embracing him close, panting deeply. Sette curled up close to Nahkat his body sore but content at feeling his love within him. Nahkat tipped Settes face up for one more deep kiss, their tongues meeting, teasing, tasting enjoying each others sweetness Nahkat pulled back and panted softly, his lips pressed to Settes ear "We… are bound now sweet Sette…. Forever are you mine, as I am yours." Sette nodded, his head resting against Nahkat's chest.
"..Mmm….. Forever…..Nahkat….."
Seto blinked as his vision became clear, suddenly he clutched his head harder and sank to his knees whimpering "Nahkat…………." He shook, his body wracked by violent shivers, tears forming in his ice blue eyes and spilling to the floor the confusion in his mind slowly cracking him, shattering his very being. Seto held his hands to his face as he shivered and sobbed bitterly "N-Nah….Nahkat…." Seto then passed out on the floor, a soft moan escaping his lips as he collapsed to the sands. Yami found Seto collapsed and picked him up, walking slowly towards the town ahead. Yami entered the town, it was deserted silent and darkened by the influence of shadows even in the suns light the buildings were tinted black and grey, there seemed to be moaning whispering voices all around talking and calling in Yami's ears {Phaaarrraaooohhh…… yoouuu mmuusssssssssssst dieee…. Die phhaarraaoohh… sslliip in to yourrrr nightmaresssssss}the voices were distorted, almost as though they were swirling round and round in Yami's mind their twisted moaning made Yami's head spin as voices from 5'000 years ago start to talk to him, memories flashed through his mind as whatever blocked them crumbled in the darkness. Yami heard something hiss out [NO! YOU ACCURSED SHADOWS! HOW DARE YOU!!!] Yami frowned the voice was familiar, so familiar, so regal but at that second it sounded like a dark snarling hiss of malice.
{Haaahaahahahahahaahaa Ra… you fool, did you think you could hide the champion of the darkness forever? Did you think his shadowy nature would not arise? He may not be demonic, but he's something more, much more he is the blackness, the veil of darkness that blinds and deceives he is Yami he is shadows. Surely you always knew that? Foolish sun boy in this habitat he is no longer blind. He is finally awakened, able to see everything and feel all.} The voices were taunting, their hissing words taunted Ra {You don't even hold power here, this town was set aside by Jahkat 5'000 years ago to awaken the champion. So here sun boy you hold no influence! You cannot stop what is to come!}
There was a low snarl [My child, Nahkat, leave here now this instant! Do not listen to these shades!] There was a tint of desperation, of furious urging in the regal powerful voice of Ra. A tone that Ra never used and Yami was sure he would never have wanted to use in a million years, he was pleading, begging Yami not to remain in the dark shadow town. The town seemed to swirl and curl around Yami as something deep inside him began to open, awaken like a blooming flower. Slowly the memories of ages began to form things, names, places and people suddenly became clear what had once been a misty picture was now a bright and vivid memory sequence he could see clearly, whom he had been, everything he'd felt or done, said or been. No longer was there ambiguity over who he had been, over Nahkat, now there was only the sense the knowledge that he was Nahkat "Ra…. BEGONE!!" Yami rose a hand and banished the God of the Sun from the town, his sennen eye now glittered and glowed a dark purple, midnight blue light twinkled around it as deep glowing crimson eyes looked around "….After… all this time… I have returned Sette." Yami whispered as Nahkat took over his mind and body, the ancient shadow that had long since locked himself up to save Egypt was now alive and living deep within Yami. Nahkat looked around with new and awake eyes, at the new Egypt then he looked to the weight on his shoulder, Seto's head was slumped over and was resting on Nahkat's chest but Nahkat still knew whom the beautiful dark haired teen was "Sette…" He whispered softly.
A dark wind blew and swirled around Nahkat as he walked towards one of the abandoned homes and kicked the door in, entering the quaint living quarters he laid Seto down on a bed and walked over to a window to look out at the black and lonely town. Seto laid asleep deep in dreams and memories "……nuuhh….no….. …." He moaned softly as his dreams darkened then when Nahkat strode over and laid a single hand over the boys' hot forehead his brow softened as did his dreams.
Sette laid on his bed, alone and away from Nahkat once more, but this time he had three dragon cubs to keep him company his favourite one was a tubby-ish female which he had named Neela she was the biggest and often bossed the two smaller males around, taking their food and talking in little growls and snorts to them, obviously bossing them. Sette would find this very amusing and entertaining to watch, especially when Neela got in a temper and swatted at the two happy cubs when they played around her. Neela was curled up in Settes lap that morning making soft contented purrs as the other two, Sekmet and Nura, played around on the floor at Settes feet the cubs were like his soul companions they always managed to cheer him when he was most angry or lonely. Neela sat up in his lap and licked his cheek as he sat staring out at the bright blue sky "Hmm?" Sette looked down on Neela, she was almost frowning at him, questioning why he was unhappy "I am fine girl, really, do not worry you're starting to look like a parent." This remark was rewarded with a loud huffy snort. Sette chuckled "Sorry girl. I didn't mean to insult you." Neela gave him a "look" then resumed lazing on his lap.
Finally the evening came, the very first Shadow Game that Sette would play came with the evening, the night seemed to smell and look different to Sette as he prepared for the duel he put on a pair of armlets and bracelets, all golden and encrusted with exquisite azure coloured sapphires. He put on the crown of the shadows that duelling Pharaoh's wore, it had a simple design but for a figure head in the middle of the crown there was a motif of the three famous Gods of the Shadow Games, Osiris, Obselisk and Ra. He slipped the crown on and finished preparing before walking to his throne room, the three cubs scampering after him down the long richly adorned hallway. Settes icy blue eyes were hardened, ready and hungry for the challenge, he loved to hunt and play games it had been one of his many talents his methods were cat like he played and toyed with his opponent he teased them taunted them before he defeated them in a display which often left the challenger in awe and humiliation.
Sette reached a brilliant arena of gold lit by brightly burning orange and bronze braziers the flames made flickering dancing shadows on the wall and threw brilliant light all around the room, men in robes stood awaiting the first battle of their Pharaoh, the challenger was a small boy with golden-y blonde locks and wild fiery brown eyes he looked cocky with his little black dragon sitting on his head the black dragons blood red eyes bore in to Settes. Sette snorted at the beast and stood opposite the boy he nodded and muttered to one of the men then he said "Begin it." There was a nod then the men in robes began to chant something, suddenly the room began to swirl the darkness and misty blackness flowed around the two then they appeared in the middle of a whole new world, no longer were they in an arena now they were out in a desert of darkness the sky above was cloudy and black the sands below were dark, near grey and all around them the howling roars of spectres and demons echoed. Neither seemed bothered by the overwhelming evil presences they stood opposite each other finally Sette spoke "Go first boy."
The boy nodded and closed his eyes, willing the shadows around him, they swirled and formed in to the shape of a man then a huge man dressed in silks stood in front of the boy and towered over Sette, glaring down at him, then the man pulled from his back a great sword which suddenly exploded in to great burning flames the heat was intense it brushed Settes face and burned slightly it's glow was brilliant. The boy trembled slightly in pain as blood was taken from his body to supplement the great summoning. Sette sneered at the Swordsman and closed his eyes, focusing and concentrating hard the shadows collected around Sette, shimmering like moonlight on water then in a great flash of light a huge ogre like man wielding two maces stood before the Swordsman with his flaming blade "Pathetic boy… did you really think you could win? Man of Judgement! Attack!" Sette rose his hand and pointed to the Swordsman and watched with a smirk as the mace wielding ogre attacked and killed the swordsman effortlessly. Sette closed his eyes through the sapping of his blood, feeling wounds open over his body. The boy looked stunned, watching with wide hazel eyes as one of his favourite monsters fell to the Pharaoh's monster of the light, his eyes narrowed and glared at the smirking Sette.
"This isn't over Pharaoh! I'm not out yet!" The boy snarled at Sette and held his hand out in front of him, watching as specks of purple and black light began to swirl and form, behind the boy a great silhouette of a roaring fierce dragon formed it howled and roared, sparks of midnight blue fire swirling around the twinkling darkness suddenly in a plume of black flame a huge beast, a towering black dragon stood it's blood eyes glittering in the darkness. Tongues of flame flickering out of its mouth, its teeth glinted a pale white and its onyx claws shone like black knives. "Now Black Dragon of the Red Eyed Clan! Attack the Judgeman!" The dragon snarled, it's head moving, thrashing wildly from side to side as great flames formed in its mouth then it flexed it's great black wings and leapt up in to the air before letting lose the great plume of fire, engulfing the ogre in bright red and orange flames the wild fires swirled and towered up melting the skin of the Judgeman, killing it.
Sette sneered as the boy fell to his knees trembling as huge gashes criss crossed his body oozing thick red blood, this was obviously his best play, it was an impressive dragon a great dark beast of wild power but, Sette smiled a dark smile, this beast was no match for his best beast "Silly silly peasant this duel is over you. This is your best? Well it's not good enough to stand in my shadow!" Sette dismissed the boy with a wave of his hand "Prepare to lose." Sette twirled his hand then rose it to the sky the darkness above created a vortex, swirling the clouds of blackness billowing and the sky moaning as lightning flickered and flew over head bright white lightning sparked and crackled with great power. Slowly the mass of electricity gathered and swirled before striking the ground and bursting in to twinkling light in the light a pair of wings formed, flexing out then the image of a head thrashing up and down and side to side roaring, shaking the very ground suddenly a bolt of light struck from the parted darkness and gave the twinkling lightning shape, forming it in to a massive dragon. The silver plating on its back radiated a potent and powerful light its aura alone made the black dragon and its master stagger back slightly. The Blue Eyes flexed its claws and made a wild roar its eyes flashed and it stood, towering, looming over its opponents snarling and hissing. Sette smirked "Now Blue Eyes of the White Dragon Clan attack!"
The Blue eyes roared and opened its jaw wide, charging up a great white mass of crackling lightning energy, the orb glowed and glittered with bright power then with a roar the Blue Eyes jumped back and let the bolt lose, sending a great bolt of white lightning flying towards the Red Eyes the lightning consumed the dragon making it howl in agony as it slowly burned up in the pure and powerful light attack. Sette closed his eyes and snorted as huge gashes made his blood pool over the floor he snickered "Well little cur go back to the back streets."
The boy glared at Sette and yelled "You think you are so good!? Well one day I'll defeat you!"
Sette chuckled and petted his Blue Eyes which had wrapped its tail protectively around Sette and had its wings curled round too "Cur, you think you can defeat her?" Sette smiled at the dragon who snorted at the boy "I don't think that pathetic dragon you own could dent her. Now get out of my sight, I cannot stand losers." Sette then turned back to Neela and petted her, Neela purred and continued to protect her master.
Seto stirred he rose his hands to his face and groaned his head throbbed and his mind was still swimming Seto sat up and looked around himself quickly he realised he was no longer in the sands Seto laid back against the pillow and tried desperately to figure out what he wanted, he hated this feeling more than he hated losing, he felt so weak and pathetic his mind was split in to two sides, it annoyed him to have lost control of himself it sounded bizarre to have lost yourself. Seto growled and whispered "Who am I?"
Well….. That's a hard question Whispered a voice softly.
Seto instantly sat up and inwardly cursed as the swirling feeling got worse for doing that "Wh… What? Who is here?"
You will find that out soon enough but for now, Sette, you wish to know who you are.
"…..Sette… I'm Sette? But…. I'm Seto."
Sette… Seto…. In the end you are the same person, one is just a cold lonely bastard and the other was pretty close but found something to warm his coldness in the end. The voice seemed to sneer, as though it were remembering in jealously.
Seto frowned "……….."
Ohhhh you still don't see it? Well here's the easy way, you choose what you are here and now... Or better yet… why don't you just give in? The voice seemed to chuckle lowly.
"Give… in?" Seto blinked the words had never applied to him, he'd never given up on anything, whatever Seto did he did 100% and saw it through to the end.
Yes… give it up. Stop trying to solve this, you don't have the knowledge or the abilities to understand this. So stop trying to. The voice was soft and persuasive it's words held meaning to Seto and made him calm down.
"…..Give… up…" it made perfect sense, why try to fight a lost cause? He had tried so hard and all it did was confuse him Seto closed his eyes and laid back, giving up to total darkness, no longer caring, he was already broken by his own mind so why not just curl up? It was unlike him but it was all he could do now he was too confused to fight and too deeply involved to just deny so slipping in to darkness would be better.
Slowly Seto's mind slipped deeply in to nothingness, darkness surrounded him and he just sank in to it, he laid back and closed his eyes. That's right Seto…. Slip away….. Fall in to darkness and make my job much easier…. There's no way he'll survive this! There was a chuckle then silence, leaving Seto to lay motionless, empty and lost in the darkness of his mind.
Over the town a strange aura began to form at first it was merely a bad feeling on the wind but it began to grow and swirl, billowing in to a thick mist in the town centre. Suddenly a shadowy body began to form slowly the mists began to form in to a solid figure, a female, the woman looked around as she formed fully. Bright eyes of emerald green looked around, they were piercing and easily seen even though the woman's face was hooded. She strode through the black town, her intricate jewellery jingled and made a gentle "Chink" noise as she moved silently, the long black silken cloak spilled behind her like liquid. She sneered at the silence and stretched, great black bat wings flexing out with her arms "Humph….. What a bore…these two have already fallen in to my trap." The demon sighed and summoned forth a golden staff with a zombie like dragon figurehead, in it's jaw it help a ruby which bled, thick red blood, like her wings. She caressed the orb then rose the staff high and chanted in an arcane demonic tongue. She called forth great beasts, huge wild monsters and demonic servants from hell the beasts ran through the dead town feeding of the shadows, they tore through the town as they destroyed everything they neared Nahkat and the lost Seto.
Nahkat looked up sharply from where he sat as a massive panther like warrior burst in to the house, roaring and hissing wildly, it glared at Nahkat then rose a clawed hand the claws lengthened then the beast leapt at Nahkat. The slash that was precisely aimed for Nahkat's neck missed but then the Panther flexed out its elbow and from the elbow came a great blade like appendix which it swung wildly at Nahkat, cutting his cheek. Nahkat "tsked" angrily and caught the best by the throat, watching it thrash wildly, he smirked and crushed its throat with a laugh "Pathetic…. I hope this is not all your master has."
"Haaahaahahahahahahahahahaaa not at all Pharaoh." A soft, alluring, dark voice like shadows wrapped around Nahkat "I have far more than that small display of my magic. Care for a proper show?"
Nahkat snorted at the demoness and hissed "Gebora…. I should have known this darkness reeks of you, the sacrifices you must have made to make this town like this…. Jahkat could never have possessed such powers alone. You helped him slaughter all those innocent people back then…. Did you not?" Nahkats eyes seemed to flare in rage as images of the fateful slaughtering day occurred.
"You should be grateful. All those smelly peasants became something much more." Gebora chuckled lowly and admired one of the many glittering bracelets she wore "They were a most useful sacrifice to the shadows and the darkness. Nahkat did you think that your pitiful sacrifice back then would "save the world?" Forever? Hah! It may have held the darkness for 5'000 years but…. You cannot contain the shadows. You cannot stop them existing even in the light there is still shadow. Everything has a shadow all things come from the black, dark shadowy abyss. Did you think you could deny the world its very being? That is an amusing belief cretin. You and no other mortal or immortal alone has the power to change the world... no... The very universe. Nothing can change all the realms, nothing will ever stop us. We are endless. We are forever. What are you? A mere "Yami" a mere piece of Darkness….. Pathetic." Gebora's eyes flashed with dark evil she looked wild and powerful.
Nahkat tilted his head and glared at Gebora, her words were painful, his anger was building she had killed his people she had hurt them and she was a darkness that threatened Egypt even now. Nahkat snarled, he would kill her, he clenched his fist and murmured "I care not if our fate can change. All I need to know is that I will kill you in a more gruesome way than you could have ever harmed those innocents." Nahkat summoned forth a sceptre and rose it high over his head, everything around them began to shimmer and ripple like water, suddenly a great wind picked up around them whirling and swirling.
The cloak Gebora was wearing flew off revealing the demon in all her darkness, she wore a simple swimsuit like dress the long flowing black velvet blew behind her, her eyes flashed brightly and she gripped her staff and twirled it around her and summoned daggers that surrounded her and swirled around her waist "Nahkat…. I will kill you with me. Do not mistake that!" Her eyes narrowed and with a snarl she flicked her long purple streaked blonde hair from her face and held the staff up, the daggers suddenly all pointed toward Nahkat then flew forwards aiming for his body.
"Foolish demoness. Did you think I would not expect your magic's?" Nahkat held out a hand and blocked the daggers then his hand glowed a midnight blue, within that blue there was twinkling light everything around him seemed to shine brightly, Gebora cried out in shock as his spell was completed and she was hung in the middle of the simple room by chains with meat hooks on the end. The hooks dug in to her wings and body they tore at her body, cutting her deeply, she trembled in pain as Nahkat slowly began to make them pull back slowly Gebora's wings began to tear. The demoness struggled wildly she tried to stop what was happening but it was no good one of her wings tore off blood splattered everywhere and the chains snapped making her fall in a bloody mess to the stone floor. Gebora trembled wildly in pain her body quaked and quivered as blood oozed from the deep wound her eyes were wide in pain her hair was matted with blood and her gold jewellery was now tinted blood red.
"..Ph…Pharaoh…. you……… bas…..bastard….. I'll….. make…… you.. pa…y…. I….. swe…ar…." Wild eyes narrowed at Nahkat and hands twisted in to claws gripped at the deep wound she whimpered and trembled.
Nahkat chuckled "Really?... Oh I'll pay will I? Haaahahaaha that is a laugh look at you. Weak and pathetic. You deserve these pains for all the agony you caused."
"DIE!!" Gebora suddenly struck a hand through Nahkat's chest and sneered "Fool……. You…thin..k… you are so…sto…strong. But….. you….you're…. no…t.."
Nahkat looked down at the ethereal hand and then stared at her, Gebora had a grip on his spirit, his eyes were wide as her hand tightened it's grip on his soul "Ahh… d-demon……" he fell to his knees as slowly the Nahkat of the past began to crush under the dark spell of death that her ethereal hand was causing within him, like a festering virus, he was slowly fading out of Yami's body his spirit was rotting within and leaving the prone body which fell back deep in sleep. Nahkat hissed "B-Bitch… what……." He slumped with her, his spirit flickering.
Gebora grinned "Heh….. he.. is….weak…. easy.. prey… for.. the… oth…ers……… you…. Could… have….beaten… usss… but…..w..e…. are…… st…ron…ger … than….he… heh heh heh…. We…. Will… win… Pharao…hhh…" then Gebora fell dead, her spirit burning up in bright gold fire.
Nahkat watched as slowly, up his legs, his body began to fade he looked to the sleeping Yami and snarled "You……….. need to… be…. Strong…. For Egypt… and… Sette….." Nahkat closed his crimson eyes as his body faded in to nothingness. The town fell silent as the two powerful entities died, the monstrous beasts all died with Gebora and the shadows that Nahkat's past spirit had brought began to lift and allowed Ra's light in to the darkened town.
Both the boys slept, unaware of what awaited them, a person stood in the room and looked at Seto their lips curled in to a smile and slowly they stepped forward…….
