PS, )blah( is a very special form of speaking - think of a whispering breeze!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yami woke up very frustrated. His dream had included more of the memory he had seen
before, but now he couldn't remember it! He was also very annoyed. He knew that no-good
tomb raider had recovered _his_ memory - and didn't hesitate to gloat when the subject came
up! He had been the Pharaoh of all Egypt, and he couldn't remember some woman. He was
sitting and fuming when he heard the voice. )Do you wish it so?( Yami whirled - but all he
saw was a shadow on the floor. "Who said that?" Yami asked cautiously. Yami was startled
to see the shadow on the floor start to move. It inched forward, then raised a part of
itself upright. The appendage waved in the air, as if scenting it. )I said it, my Lord
Pharaoh.( the Shadow said. Then it repeated, )Do you wish it so?( "Do I wish what so?"
Yami was curious about this spirit. He wondered how it could have gotten inside his Soul
Room before it responded. )How it has been. To be empty of all you once had within you.
Do you wish it?( Yami, suddenly feeling desperate, said, "No, I do not wish it. Why do you
ask?" )I know how to show you what has been lost.( "Who are you?" )I am It. I have always
been known as so,( thethe Shadow whispered. "And you can really do as you claim?" )I will
show you,( the Shadow said. It slid forward, and It's raised tip touched Yami's forehead.
As images began playing before his eyes, Yami ignored the feeling of violation he suddenly
felt…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Sire! You should pay more attention!" said the woman. It was the woman from the
dream. "You almost knocked me down!" "Sorry, Kiran!" said a very young Yami. "But don't
call me Sire. Father is the Pharaoh, not me!" Kiran laughed. "And since you don't have
any royal excuses, it's time for your bath!" "Aww, but I'm fine…" Yami suddenly became
aware of the layer of filth on his skin. "Um, I mean…" "Come on now, young one," Kiran
laughed again as she lead him down the hall…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Yami sat very stiffly. "How can this be..." he murmured as the rest of the memory
drifted away. )I can see what is hidden within,( the Shadow murmured, )I can do more, if I
choose…( "Then why not show me more?" Yami demanded. )I require rest, Lord Pharaoh. I
require solitude. After my rest, if you wish, I can show you more.( The Shadow slid onto a
small table far from him and curled itself into a sphere. Black and oily, it nevertheless
seemed to dominate the room. Yami stayed put. He had no idea where this indomitable sense
of need had come from, but if It was going to help him, then why not hide It? 'Aibou
doesn't need to know about this,' Yami tried to reassure himself. It was fine, what could
possibly happen…
