Yu-Gi-Oh so you better not sue.
Chapter 13: Egypt Dreams
" Tho I walk thru the valley of the shadow of death I will not fear. Your rod and your staff they comfort me," whispered Keora in her sleep. The diamond sat on the floor next to the staff. Mazara was watching the items tho she was not in the mood. " Keora stop that!" shouted Yama from her room. Keora opened her eyes and looked at the room. A picture of her and Ryou hung on the silver wall. " Uh, what I do now?" asked Keora sleepily looking at the picture.
" Recited part of the 23rd Psalm in your sleep," said Yama back. Keora looked at another picture and a tear slipped down her face. It was a picture she had done from memory. Of course it was totally changed from the original. There stood Seto with Mokuba and then Cynara next Mokuba. Then there were Keora and Mazara. By Keora was Ryou and then finally standing almost like shadows behind their hikari's were the yami's.
" What's wrong?" asked Yama as she walked in. Keora looked up at her yami and pointed to the picture. " That's beautiful Keora," said Yama as she examined it. Suddenly the light went off in the soul room and Yama gasped. " If something's so beautiful why does it bring so much pain?" asked Keora quietly from the shadows. Yama looked at her and was amazed at the changed. There stood Keora her brown hair loose hanging down to her waist.
" I want to show you something," said Yama and grabbed Keora dragging her over to the other room. There on the wall stood a picture a lot like Keora's except the hikari's were missing. There stood Zenda, Amara, and Yama in ancient Egyptian dress. Behind Yama stood what resembled an angel.
" Whose that?" asked Keora. Yama looked at the picture and a single tear ran down her face. " That was Eimeria or Hope as most of us called her," said Yama. " No who was she?" asked Keora. " My mother," thought Yama and Keora looked at her yami and then back at the black haired lady.
" I didn't know," said Keora quietly. She looked at the picture again and noticed a black hair boy right in front of Yama. " Who was that?" asked Keora. " Maku," said Yama in a whisper and suddenly broke down into sobs. Keora ran over and put her arms around Yama. " I'm sorry Yama," said Keora quietly as Yama cried into her chest."It's..... not........ your.... fault.....aibou," said Yama thru tears and looked up and noticed tears in Keora's eyes. " You remind me of Akio," said Yama after a few minutes. " Who?" asked Keora.
" My first hikari," said Yama. " What!" exclaimed Keora.
" Well not really a hikari more of a girl I guarded," said Yama quietly and pointed to a picture. In the picture was a girl who resembled Keora. She had green eyes and black hair tho and was dressed in Egyptian clothes.
" She looks nice," said Keora. Yama nodded and looked at Keora. " It's going to be light soon, better go and get some sleep," said Yama. Keora nodded and walked into her room and stepped into the door. Yama wasn't surprised when she heard a thump and walked over to examine it. There lay Keora holding a book in one hand and Amara standing over her with the staff in her hand. " Blasted hikari of your's I swear we need to keep her on a leash," said Amara as she put Keora in her room.
" Thanks Amara," said Yama as she took the book out of Keora's hands. " Silly girl what she going to do smash her head in?" asked Amara. " No I was going to figure out why yami's have to stop hikari's from getting rid of themselves," said Keora as she glared at them. " Well look at this the guardian's got a new problem," said a voice from the shadows. Keora just smirked and laughed. " Well hello Bakura it's nice to see you to," said Keora. " Bakura if you even lay a hand on her I swear...," said Yama, but Keora looked at Bakura and whispered one word "thanks".
Amara and Yama gasped and starred at Bakura. " I thought I told you 5000 years ago it's rude to stare," said Bakura. " And I thought I told you that I didn't have to listen to you Tomb Robber," said Yama. Keora hissed and jumped out of bed, but suddenly she fell over. " What did you do Tomb Robber?" asked Yama glaring. " I didn't do anything," said Bakura.
Dream
" I'm sorry all of you, but promise me we'll meet up when we get out again," said Yama. 6 other people nodded slowly and deliberately. " OK," said Yama and suddenly she locked them all away looking at the door getting ready to lock herself away. " Mommy where are you!" shouted a young voice. " Maku I'm sorry," thought Yama as she disappeared into the diamond.
" Yama he was your son!" exclaimed Keora as she sat up looking from Bakura to Yama. " Yes, Maku was my son," said Yama. " So you and that Pharaoh did have a brat," said Bakura coldly. " No Bakura he was your brat," said Yama turning red.
" What!" exclaimed Bakura. " He was born after Yami locked you all away," said Yama quietly. " So you followed us," said Bakura and Yama nodded. " Where'd Amara go?" asked Keora.
" To relieve Maze of her duty," said Yama and Keora nodded. " Just great now the Pharaoh's really going to hang me," said Bakura under his breath. " No Bakura he better not," said Keora. " Why who's going to stop him if he gets it in his mind to?" asked Bakura. " She will," said Yama under her breath.
" Why would your hikari care what happened to me?" asked Bakura coldly. " Cause she loves your hikari," said Yama flatly. Keora suddenly grabbed the book and opened it. " Uh, Yama one question why did you give it that um power?" asked Keora as she pointed to the book describing the powers of the items.
Yama slapped her head with the palm of her hand and Bakura grabbed the book. " Your poisoning her mind and she's only known your around for like 3 days," said Bakura. " I don't know it seemed a good idea at the time," said Yama. " OK," said Keora and looked at Bakura mischievously. " Well welcome back Bakura," said Keora and grabbed the book. " Exodia Diamond powers: monster powers, sight into the past and future, and to control other's minds," read Keora to herself.
" Yes, now can you please give the da.. uh book back," said Bakura catching himself before swearing. " Sure," said Keora and tossed the book at him. It hit him square in the face and he starting grumbling in Egyptian. " Thank you," said Bakura after a few minutes.
" I better get back out there," said Keora and disappeared and reappeared holding the diamond and Mazara and Cynara burst out laughing. " What were you two doing that could get you to let your hair down?" asked Mazara. " I'm not telling you two," said Keora and walked out letting Yama out and then smirking. " You still love him?" asked Keora.
" Who?" asked Yama quietly. " You know who," said Keora. " No he loves someone else," said Yama quietly. " To bad we could have had a double wedding," said Keora, but was rudely awakened from her daydream when someone grabbed her.
" Let go you jerk," said Keora and suddenly screamed one word, " Help". Three heads looked out of the doors. Tristan, Yugi, and Mai. They looked at her and started laughing. " This is no laughing business," said Keora as she struggled. " Uh Keora maybe you want to look behind you," said Mai shaking her head. Keora turned around and came face to face with Ryou. " What don't I get....," said Ryou, but was cut off when Keora kissed him. They were stopped by a gagging noise and turned around to face Joey.
" Oh hello Joey," said Ryou. Keora tho acted less civil.
" Joey Wheeler get your sorry hide out of here!" shouted Keora and started chasing him down the hall when Yama appeared and dragged her hikari away. " I don't know what's gotten into, oh never mind yes I do," said Yama in Egyptian as she dragged Keora off.
" Figures," said Yugi and Tristan. Keora tho broke free and smirked. " Do it again and I'll let your little secret out," said Keora. That stopped Yama dead in her tracks and she let go of Keora. " Get going you two!" shouted Keora directing it to Yugi and Mai. They looked at her amazed and then nodded and went back into their rooms. Mai emerged and Keora waited for Yugi.
" Aren't you going?" asked Yama. " No I'm going to smash my head in with that book," said Keora deliberately, but Yama and Amara grabbed her and pinned her to the bed. " You try and I'll let out your secret," said Yama. Keora smirked and punched her yami in the gut. " Whatever half of them already know," said Keora and walked out leaving her yami hunched over. " Oh and Zenda maybe you'd heal her for me that looks like it hurt," said Keora as she ran off to watch the duel.
Well there's the newest chapter. I'm going to be gone this weekend so I thought I'd give you all a treat and put two chapters up.
