Chapter 6: Entering a Dangerous Mind
Ryelle stared up at the ceiling to the old library, astonished and mystified. There were all sorts of things swimming in her mind, her mind felt over loaded. Okay growing wings was pretty scary… but that wasn't the scariest part. Yugi having nightmares with his puzzle on were extremely scary, especially since the pharaoh could have awoke and saw her with Bakura on her shoulders and could have killed her… One thing was it was not Yugi's young face but the pharaoh's… so he was having nightmares… Ryelle knew all too well that it was probably the TombRobber exploring his mind. This was a threat to her as well as Yami. If the TombRobber again control of the puzzle she would have no chance at seeing her family again as well as this world perishing. She gulped in dismay. This would mean doing one thing she never wanted to do ever, entering the pharaoh's mind while he is asleep and get the part of the TombRobber out of the puzzle with out being killed in the process… by either of them. She sighed, she'd rather kiss Pegasus than do that… but she didn't really have a choice. Another thing that shocked her was that experience with Bakura. She felt his weight on her back, which was crazy since she could not feel anything here. It made her extremely nervous with him on her back… sure any other girl from her world that liked Bakura would have died to carry him, but she was always shy around cute guys… Did she think Bakura is Cute?
She shook her head vigorously, no! Get a grip on yourself! He is an anime! Not a real person…was he? This she had doubts on. Well… she was dragged here by an anime! Maybe this world was real… in a sense. Well… no matter what she thought she would have to return to Yugi's at night and find away into the pharaoh's soul room while he was sleeping. In addition, she would have to keep an eye on Bakura just in case the TombRobber got any ideas… She lay down on the sofa; she would sleep now, for she would need her strength for later…
She awoke to a pitch-black room. She got up, leaving her somewhat safe bed. She strapped on her black velvet cape she loved so much now, for it was the only real thing she could feel. She walked over to the window and opened it; the breeze was cool. It didn't bother her for she had grown up in the North, where it got 20 bellow in seconds. She ignored the wind and concentrated, she felt two wings push out of her back easily. They flew open and started flapping at command; she had found the night before she liked to fly. She jumped out the window and let the air catch her wings. She soared higher up into the cloudy sky, which was a very dark blue not pitch black. Above the clouds stars glittered, like fireflies in the hot summer. She smiled; well… if she was to die to night she at least got to see this! She did a few turns and a twist; flying was easy! Her mood became somber when the cloud suddenly moved and exposed a little game shop below. She sighed and descended down and landed on the small windowsill like how she had done that night before. She landed without a sound and concentrated again, but the wings would not respond. She mentally cursed and tucked them in under her cape so they were unseen. She ducked down and squeezed through the small window without ease. After 2 minutes of struggle she put her foot on the nearest desk and then onto the floor. The carpet softened his footsteps toward the bed. Yugi lay there; his tri colored hair ruffled out in all directions. The puzzle lay on top of the blanket on his chest. The sight of it made she shiver. She looked at the sound sleep Yugi; she liked it better when he was asleep, no big violet eyes that seemed to see your every soul. She shuddered at the thought and sighed, she started to sweat. She lifted her hand and reached forward to touch it, every second drawing closer and closer. She thought about pulling back, she started to struggle with herself. No! You must enter, if you do not you will never see your family again! Still she hesitated. A laughing Bakura suddenly entered her mind, a memory that she liked. Her hand started forward again. If not for them, for Bakura's sake! He does not deserve to be used by that creep. She hand was so close to the puzzle now, a centimeter away. She sighed and threw her hand forward onto the gold puzzle, something she knew she would egret. Nothing happened at first, but suddenly her skin started tingling all over. She felt a jolt and closed her eyes in fright. Her finger felt a sucking movement under them and she when into it. She opened her eyes to see two doorways. One door was stile open and full of toys, Yugi's soul room. The other was closed and an Egyptian eye on the front of it, Yami's soul room.
She hesitated a moment, watching both doors. She heard faint voices coming from Yugi's soul room, Yugi giggling and Yami… laughing? She blinked, and started for Yami's door while thinking that they probably shared the same dreams. Well, Yami can be pretty animated she thought as she remembered the episode when Tea and Yami spent the day together. The beginning to that one was what showed her. Yugi had called it a "surprised" and right before he disappeared into the puzzle and Yami found out the surprise, he started shouting at the puzzle. It was so funny she was on the floor laughing. At remembering, she almost laughed, almost. She stood in front of the door and opened it carefully, knowing he could wake up while she was in his mind. She walking in slowly and was not too surprised at what she saw. His mind was how she had seen it in the American anime, millions of doors and steps. All in which resembled an ancient tomb. She sighed, navigating throw this will take her hours. When Shadi entered his mind in the show, he at least had the millennium key to add him throw it, but she did not have anything! In addition, to make things worse, there were many traps in the doors. She flipped up her hood covering her face, and knew she was cowering. She started walking up some stairs. Sure, she was in a lot of danger, but she was always in danger anyway.
Her skin tingled under the darkness that hid her; she let her feet take her. She figured her skin had some kind a sense, which was not a surprise. This cartoon reality had changed her, looks mostly. Her spirit had not changed; she was still a timid little girl. Alternatively, she thought she still was. She was not sure of who she was anymore, what she was meant to do anywhere. She felt she never belonged anywhere, except with her family. No one had ever seen her, always bumping into her and not even stopping to say sorry.
She had liked it better that way; she could concentrate on her daydreaming and her books. They were a place she could escape to, a place where she was a fierce warrior with no fears. When she came to this school, it was absolute shock, to be seen by everyone.
She suddenly tripped on a step and fell hard on the stone steps. After a minute of shock and surprise she got up, her legs covered in small scrapes. Something wet trickled down the corner of her mouth, blood. She wiped it way and tired not to whimper. Her one weakness to everything, pain. She had a high pain tolerance, but still she hated pain. She took long deep breathes; controlling the pain. She grunted, angry with herself for being such a coward and wimp. She continued up, her legs weakening and her wings growing restless under her bulking black cape. She figured she would need her wings' strength for a quick get away incase he woke up. Suddenly something caught the corner of her eye, something extremely bright. She looked to her right and found a door, wide open and light pouring out. Okay… TombRobber was out, but where was he? The answer came when she got a whack on her back and heard a sickening crack. Damn… She fell lifelessly on the stone floor, blackness swirling in her eyes.
She woke up a few seconds later to find a smug looking white haired boy standing right above her. His ring jingling in front of her nose. She reached out to grab it, but he snatched it away, lifted a foot, and kicked her hard in the stomach. Pain shoot everywhere, she clutched her stomach in reaction. Her eyes wide, and looking at the sniggering TombRobber enjoying her discomfort. He took her by an arm and started to drag her in a bright doorway, while he did so he started snaring things that she could not work out. The pain was muffling everything, and her eyes were starting to dim. Then something came in quite clearly.
"– And when I'm done with you my other soul will be destroyed so I can have his body to be my own, he can't get in my way dead. I will make it painful and slow so he'll regret ever crossing me! First, I'll-"
She felt some strength come into her whole body from the words. She felt her eyes flash dangerously, for some reason she had just gotten really pissed off. Her eyes narrowed at the TombRobber, pitiful soul. He was not paying attention, too busy naming unpleasant things he was going to do to Bakura. Ryelle felt the mussels tighten in her arm; her body began to shake in rage. TombRobber finally looked at her. She snarled like an angry wolf and clawed out with her other arm at his; gashes appeared and started to bleed heavily. She pounced up escaping his grasp and stood dangerously above the surprised TombRobber. His grip tightened on his bleeding arm and he stood, just as dangerously. His blood dripped on the floor, his eyes flashed and a fireball hit Ryelle at high speed. She tumbled on the floor in a wreck. She stayed there, feeling numb. Her body sprawled out, but she somehow stayed awake. He waked over and gave her a few good kicks to make sure she wouldn't try that again, thinking she was knocked out he grabbed her ankle and started to drag her to the door. She concentrated hard; something glittered in her hand. What made her think of it she did not know, but it was a weapon. A long sliver blade with a golden hilt came into her hand, just like her daydreams. She swung her foot in a quick movement, escaping his grasp and somersaulted backwards in the same movement. She rose to her feet and grasped the sword like a baseball bat. TombRobber saw the sword and laughed.
"You think a toy like that can stop me?" Ryelle gripped the sword in response. She suddenly charged, sword extended and roaring something unknown to both of them. He only grinned and got ready to move. Ryelle knew he what he thought, and inch away, jammed the blade into the ground, catapulted herself up, and kicked him hard in the stomach. He fell painfully to the ground in shock and confusion. Her hand still on the hilt, she pulled it out forcefully and slashed him in the stomach. Blood flew everywhere, covering everything in 2 feet. In a next swift movement, she jammed the blade deep in him. His face grimaced and he clutched where the blade had entered painfully. A puddle of blood poured all around him, his blood. He looked up at the cloaked figure, and that haft of his spirit heard its last words.
"You lose…"
His eyes suddenly darkened and his body faded until it disappeared completely. Ryelle felting tired felt to her knees and collected her strength, and thought of what she had just done. She had never killed anyone before… it was unpleasant to watch the small part of his soul die. She did not feel good about it, but it was something that needed to be done. She stood up after a few minutes and held the sword in her hand. She turned; the hood had somehow stayed on her head. She was glad because two tri colored haired boys stood in front of her.
Book Dragon: "Okay the TombRobber isn't dead. Just the piece of him he put in the puzzle."
