At about one o' clock in the morning, Doramae and Kekooee returned. Kekooee gave a nuzzle to his master, then trotted off to his stables. Doramae headed back inside. The house was dark, but light flooded down the stairs, collecting at the bottom of the stairwell. It came from Gwinamae's room. Doramae headed up the stairs, concerned. Why was she up so late? He entered the doorway, and felt a pang of sorrow. She lay on her bed, still dressed, her face buried in her arms, her shopping bags thrown aside on the floor. Doramae brushed her mussed hair out of her face to see her cheeks were tear stained. She had cried herself to sleep. He wondered why she had been so upset. He picked her scepter up, and felt her energy coursing through it. She'd had to use her magic tonight. He delved deeper into the energy of her scepter.
'Marie, I'm warning you…'
'I'll get rid of you, then give Ketrakae a little pain of her own…. say…. kill her precious daughter?'
'NO! You won't touch them…!'
Doramae set down her scepter and sighed, closing his eyes.
"Oh, dearheart," he whispered. "You were just protecting the ones you love."
He stroked her hair gently, but couldn't stop, it felt so much like silk.
'Oh, Gwinamae, you've grown up so much.'
Gwinamae still lay quietly, her breathing still slightly ragged. Doramae pulled her blanket over her, and kissed her tear stained cheek gently.
"Good night, sweet angel." he whispered. "I hope you feel better before we meet the Pharaoh."
He turned off her light, and settled into the chair next to her bed, determined to stay with her untill she woke up later that morning.
***********
Yami gently pushed Tèa out the door.
"B-but, Yami!" she sputtered.
"You've overstayed your welcome." he said and shut the door.
"Stupid dyke." he muttered.
Yugi sat on Grandpa's recliner, looking at him.
"You're all antsy, Yami. Why?"
Yami looked at him.
"I have to make an appearance in the Shadow Realm tomorrow." he said. "To meet with Doramae and his new apprentice."
Yugi's eyes went wide.
"Oh! Can I go with you?"
Yami smiled.
"Of course. I was going to take you anyway."
"YAY!!!" Yugi cried happily. "Where're we staying?"
"You'll see." Yami said, smiling mysteriously, causing Yugi to go pale.
"I hate it when you pull this shit. Last time I ended up facing Ra himself!! Please tell me!!"
Yami only shook his head, chuckling in a low voice. Yugi fell out of the chair.
"Aw man.. Osiris is gonna end up eating me this time…"
******************
Gwinamae stirred, and her eyes fluttered open. She saw Doramae, sleeping quietly in the chair next to her bed. She smiled warmly, and got up.
"Oh, you're so beautiful." she said in the lowest of whispers, and stroked his cheek softly, his breath warm on her wrist, and his skin silky soft under her gentle fingertips. She sat back on the bed, watching him with adoring eyes.
"You sat up with me, didn't you, you wonderful creature." she thought to herself.
She got up again and began packing up her things. Just as she was putting her dress into her suitcase, Doramae woke up.
"Ugh… what time is it?" he groaned.
"Almost eight o' clock." Gwinamae replied.
Doramae ran out of the room.
"We're gonna be late!" he cried.
Gwinamae laughed to herself.
"We can't be late. We're meeting the Pharaoh."
Gwinamae suddenly felt weak.
"THE PHARAOH!!!"
Lachlan: he he she gets to meet the pharaoh…who is not all that mighty…
Isis: HEY!!!
Kenshin:………………….
