Trial By Cards
Well here's chapter 12 all of my fans. As Keora watches, the four finalists duel one thought is in her young mind. " It'll be over soon" or will it is there more mysteries awaiting the Kaiba or is her suffering finally over. As always I don't own Y-Gi-Oh so you better not sue.
Chapter 12: Dreams, Pasts, Memories
" I am Crochet and I want to welcome the 4 finalists," said Crochet, but Yama, Amara, and Zenda growled.
The others nodded, but Keora just cringed to herself. Ryou noticed and placed his hand on her shoulder. Keora nodded knowing what he meant.
" I also want to welcome the others here," said Crochet, but the others knew that was untrue. Cynara and Keora had already decided not to duel. They knew that Zero and Ray had left the island so they didn't have to worry about them.
" Well if you will follow me there is a banquet prepared in your honor," said Crochet. Joey and Tristan ran after him and Keora shook her head. " Come on," said Ryou and pulled Keora and she followed Sol and Neo looking around in confusion. " Wow," said Neo as he looked at the duel arena. " I know," said Yama for the first time showing amazement at all the technology.
Yama, Amara, and all the others walked in and sat down. They quietly ate their food, but watched Joey and Tristan shaking their heads in embarrassment. They heard what Crochet said about a special ingredient and were happy their soup was eyeball free.
Suddenly a shout was heard from down the table. They looked up and there sat Zenda yelling curses in Egyptian they walked over and saw what had happened. There was a fly in her soup. Amara and Yama broke out laughing and the others looked at them. " What's wrong with her?" asked Joey. " Uh, there's a fly in her soup," said Mazara waving it off. " Well that's better then an eye," said Joey. Zenda cast him a glare that obviously said he was digging his own grave.
With one quick move Keora had taken a card chanted a couple of words and suddenly there before them stood none other then " Launcher Spider" who took the soup and drank it all. Keora recalled the card and smiled. " There now there's no fly in your soup," said Keora. The others fell over at that comment. They all shook their heads, but Keora smiled. Ryou looked at her and smiled.
" Yes, she chants in her sleep," said Neo under his breath as he looked at the soup warily. " It won't bite," said Mai so Neo took a sip and spit it out right in Crochets face.
" I'm sorry it's to spicy," said Neo and took a piece of bread and started eating. " No, it's not," said Sol as she took the bowl in her hands and drank deeply.
" Well that's because you like spicy food," said Neo, but Yama shook her head. " He did that on purpose," thought Yama and Keora broke out laughing as she drank some cola. " I know he did," answered Keora to her yami. The others looked at them wondering what would happen next. Joey and Tristan kept eating and finally they stopped.
" I swear they look like pigs," thought Cynara and Amara nodded. Mazara broke out laughing hearing the thought and then looked at Crochet and got a wicked idea. " Hey Crochet or whatever your name is think fast," said Mazara and threw some pudding at him and Zenda and her ran out of the room Zenda retreating into her soul room. " Blasted sister of mine," said Keora and ran off Yama at her heals. Keora disappeared into her soul room. " Hey Keora that's no fair," thought Yama, but only heard some whispered words. " I'm to tired Yama," answered Keora and curled up in her room falling asleep.
" Great just great the slave and the do goody princess runs off," said Amara to herself and stands up. " Excuse my sisters for their rudeness their well lets put it this way immature," said Cynara bowed and walked out. " You two are going to get us killed!" shouted Amara. Yama peeped out from behind a corner and Mazara came out from the shadows. " I'm sorry," said Mazara as Zenda came out landing on one knee. " I don't know why your sorry he's not very nice," said Yama. They looked up and looked for Keora. " Uh where's Keora?" asked Mazara. Yama held the diamond and shook her head. " She over exerts her magical energy," said Yama quietly as she placed the diamond in Amara's hands and disappeared from sight.
" Goodnight Princess," said Amara to her sister. " I'm not in the mood guardian," thought Yama as she sat in her soul room. Her hikari was in the room across the hall and she was not in the mood to wake the girl. Suddenly she heard a shout and some muttered words from across the hall and ran over. There sat Keora gasping for breathe. " What's wrong?" asked Yama. " What are the powers of the diamond?" asked Keora ignoring the question. " To use the powers of duel monsters, to see into the past and future, and to..... well we'll get to that later," said Yama trailing off.
" That's how I knew what would happen to Seto," said Keora bringing her knees up to her chest as she sat on her blue silk sheet covered bed. " Yes, and you just had another dream," said Yama. " It's Ryou, Bakura's coming back," said Keora. Yama suddenly disappeared to the shook of Keora and reappeared in the real world.
" Grief at least warn us!" shouted Cynara from where she sat cross legged on the floor holding the staff across her lap. " Bakura's coming back," said Yama and Amara shot out of the staff landing right next to her smaller sister. " Grief and I thought we were rid of him," said Amara in Egyptian. Keora suddenly appeared and growled something under her breath.
" Where's Mazara?" asked Keora. Suddenly the afore mentioned girl ran in and locked the door. " I didn't know!" shouted Mazara thru the door. Joey's voice was heard on the other side. " What did you do now?" asked Zenda. " Woke him up," said Mazara. " Why did you do that?" asked Keora. " Cause Keith tried to steal his card," said Mazara and held up the card. " Hey Joey if you promise not to kill my hikari I'll give to back your card," said Zenda in Egyptian. " I don understand Yami," said Joey. " Here Nimrod," said Yama and handed him the card and re-locked the door. " Peace at last," said Yama and disappeared into the diamond. Keora laid down and then knelt down and folded her hands. The two yami's looked at her.
" Uh just do what I do," said Keora and they all nodded and knelt down. " Dear Jesus please protect us as we sleep tonight and watch over Ryou and all the others please protect Yami and Yugi as they duel tomorrow and amen," said Keora as she opened her hands.
" Uh what was that?" asked Amara. " Praying," said Yama quietly from next to her twin. " How do you know?" asked Zenda. " I watched the Hebrew's pray to their God and I did the same," said Yama in a whisper. Keora smiled and hugged her yami. " What was that for?" asked Yama. " For being here," said Keora and Yama smiled. " Well lets get some sleep Bakura will be back in the morning," said Keora, but smirked to herself as the yami's disappeared. " Of course Tristan I'm gonna owe you one," thought Keora as she nodded off to sleep.
Well there's chapter 12. Not very dramatic or anything, but it is funny.
