Trial By Cards
" You never know how much someone means to you until their lost," said Yama in Keora's head. Well there's a little idea of what happens in this chapter. If you noticed this story has been updated a lot lately and that's because I'm on a role. Well as always I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh so you no sue. Oh and Bakura is now Ryou and Yami Bakura is Bakura.
Chapter 11: Never Knew How Much It Could Hurt
" Get out of my way!" shouted Keora as she fired her Light Magician like attack at a guard. " Uh Keora, don't you think that's a bit much?" asked Sol. Keora just looked at Sol and kept walking and then broke into a sprint the 4 foot tall Sol trying to catch up. " What!" exclaimed a voice from the shadows and Sol turned to face a black and blue haired elf that stood about a foot over her. " Neo!" exclaimed Sol and hugged the elf.
" Hey Sol now what in the name of duel monsters is she doing?" asked Neo as Keora turned a corner. Sol shrugged and sighed and looked at him. " She's acting reckless," said Sol and then Neo and her broke into a sprint and followed Keora as she turned a corner and stopped suddenly. " Keora!" exclaimed Ryou and hugged her. She just stood there not making a motion and then suddenly a strange black energy seemed to be emitting from her. " Keora?" asked Ryou as he shook her shoulders. " She's not herself," said Cynara and then suddenly noticed that Yama was gone. " Keo?" asked Ryou again and she looked at him.
" It's Yama," said Yama her voice almost seeming evil.
" Get out of Keora's body," said Ryou, but Yama smirked. " I don't have to do what you say," said Yama and then suddenly they were apart again. " You imp stay out of my body," said Keora as she starred at her yami her eyes piercing. " I, will go in your body when I want," said Yama, but Keora smirked and with a strange motion drew a sword out of the air. " So sure about that?" asked Keora the sword blade pointed at Yama. " Swords can't hurt me," said Yama, but was clearly shaken, by the hikari's aggression.
" I intend on keeping my soul separate from yours when we merge," said Keora and Yugi looked at them. " Oh, hi Keora," said Yugi and then looked at Yama. " Hi Yugi," said Keora and looked at the tri colored haired boy. " Who's your friend?" asked Yugi. " This is the spirit of the diamond Yama," said Keora and smiled. " It's Yamaichi," said Yama crossly and Keora laughed. " No it's Yama," said Amara and stalked towards her sister. " What do you think your doing it's to dangerous to try and do that here," said Zenda and smacked Yama upside the head.
" Stop it!" shouted Keora her fists clenched her nails drawing blood. " This isn't a time to fight," said Mazara and grabbed Zenda by the ear. " I agree with Keora," said Ryou and Keora looked at him and then weakly slumped to her knees. " It's harder then it looks," said Keora and looked at her hands. Yugi noticed them and gasped. " Your bleeding," said Yugi and Keora looked at her hands and blinked. " So I am, I don't deserve to live," said Keora and what happened next was anyone's guess. Cynara and Yama both grabbed Keora by the shoulders as Mazara tried to uppercut her sister, but Ryou got in the way.
" What are you doing!" shouted Mazara as she hit Ryou. Yugi who stood just a bit shorter then her ran over to Ryou and tried to help his friend up. " I thought you said it wasn't time to fight," said Yugi quietly. " Well when Keora's talking suicidal what else are we supposed to do?" asked Yama. Keora ran over and with one quick motion had slapped Mazara leaving a red mark. " Keora I'm so...," said Mazara, but trailed off when Keora ran over to Ryou and quietly closed her eyes. " I'm sorry Ryou," said Keora, but Ryou drew her into a hug. " I'm here for you Keora let it all out," said Ryou and Keora started sobbing.
" Uh guys," said Joey looking at them. " What is it Joey?" asked Zenda. " We got a problem," said Joey and Zenda looked down and growled which made Keora look up.
" It's time," said Keora quietly as she watched as Seto's life points went down to zero. " Why are you so calm?" asked Tae to Keora who suddenly turned to Ryou and weakly smiled. " I guess it's up to Yami and Yugi now," said Keora in a whisper and fainted into his waiting arms.
" Keora," whispered Ryou as he laid her head in his lap. " For all the good you have done this world repays you with pain," said Ryou as he gently stroked her hair.
" You never know how much someone means to you until their lost," said Yama telepathically and out loud and the others nodded. Mazara was in tears and was on her knees her fists clenched. Cynara was just standing there frozen like a statue and the other or more precisely Yugi were crying.
Suddenly the others looked up and saw Keora with tears streaming down her face as she walked over to Yugi. " I know what it feels like to lose someone you care about, but to lose a family twice it's unbearable," said Keora as she stood by Yugi. He looked up at her. " What d....o you mean twice?" asked Yugi his voice a bit shaky. " First my parents and now my brothers," said Keora just above a whisper. " Yugi come here," said Keora as she opened her arms and the smaller duelist ran into them receiving a hug from Keora. " Beat Pegasus for us and don't worry about your yami he's there for a reason," said Keora in a whisper and let go.
" Yugi never give up nothings hopeless and nothings impossible that's what it says in the Bible," said Keora quietly and he looked at her. " But he beat Kaiba, he took my grandpa, and Mokuba with ease what makes you think I can win?" asked Yugi. Keora smirked and put her hands on her hips. " First you beat Seto, secondly you've got the puzzle, thirdly you've got a smart yami, and last but least," said Keora and took a breath and took in the whole group in one sweeping glance. " You've got us," finished Yama. Yugi looked at all of them and was surprised.
" But Keora you have to duel, I'm an enemy," said Yugi, but Keora smirked and slowly her wings opened revealing her Exodian Diamond. " I don't have to do anything," said Keora and then looked at Tae. " I'm calm because if I go and act dumb Pegasus will sense me," said Keora answering the question. The others blinked and wondered why a girl like Keora would even be helping them. Yama and Amara stepped up and suddenly they cupped their hands together and in an instance Keora was dressed in a pale purple dress with silver ribbons streaming from her wrists, shoulders, waist, ankles and head.
" The true form of Keora is White Peace Magician," said Yama and Keora blinked. " True," said Amara and slowly her black gown changed to an all blue one and Yama's turned to a dark purple. " Everyone on this planet has a gift," said Zenda quietly and looked at them. " These two were the first guardian's of the Staff and Diamond," said Zenda pointing to Amara and Yama. " They've been past down thru the ages and finally came to rest in Keora and Cynara's hands," said Zenda and then smiled.
" If you noticed all of Keora's powers are the opposite of the Dark Magicians powers," said Yama. Keora shook her head slowly and suddenly the outfit shimmered. " I'm not going to put the others in danger," said Keora stubbornly and looked at them. " I may be the appointed guardian, but the thing is, well, I can't expect to do everything," said Keora as the outfit disappeared. " But, Keora what about Mokuba and Seto?" asked Tae.
" All we need to win is heart," said Keora and looked at Ryou. " And a lot of faith," added Ryou. " In who?" asked Tristan. " In yourselves," came the answer. " What is that!" exclaimed Bandit Keith as Neo came into view. " That as you referred to me is Neo the Elf," answered Neo as he walked in followed by Sol who looked at Keith and he freaked. " Live duel monsters?" asked Mai and Neo and Sol nodded. " Nice to meet you I'm..," said Mai, but was cut off. " Mai Valentine," said Sol and smiled.
" I know," said Sol and looked at her. " I'm Sol Elf and this is Neo Elf," said Sol. " So what are you brother and sister?" asked Joey. The two elves blushed and shook their heads. " Uh cousins?" asked Joey. " No you idiot their married!" shouted Mai and the look on Joey's face made the two elves break out laughing. " We're both from Keora's deck," said Neo and Keora smiled.
" How did you get here?" asked Tristan. " Not to hard when the duelist that uses you starts muttering spells in her sleep," said Sol and Keora looked shocked. " Hey I swear this isn't my doing," said Keora as everyone looked at her. " It's Light," said Yama under her breath. " Who?" asked Keora. " I said it's Light, the Light Magician she has one very strange power she can control her master or mistresses mind she did on me once," said Yama.
" Wow," said Keora, but Neo and Sol shook their heads.
" I don't think so Mom wouldn't do that she usually only does that for fun I think you were dreaming," said Sol and smiled.
" How old are you anyway's?" asked Joey. " Uh what year is it?" asked Neo. " 2002," said Keora. " Uh that would make me 4000 and Neo would be 4500," said Sol and everyone fell over backwards. " What?" asked the two elves.
" It's true they sure weren't around when I was in Egypt," said Yama. Amara nodded and smirked and remembered something and turned around to see Crochet. " I was wondering who was making all that racket," Amara heard him say and hissed.
Well there's the newest chapter. I hope you like it. Pretty soon they will be out of Duelist Kingdom and back home, but what new surprises await them at home.
