Chapter 21: Past Lives
" Ok well here goes Yugi," said Yami quietly and smiled. " I first saw Yama when she was at the tomb of her father. He was one of the magicians that could bring the duel monsters to life, so he was important. Yama's full name is Nayama Ascend Intention, or so she has told me. She took over her fathers place in the palace, which was very rare. She had a little brother named Sei back then who helped her some, but that's another story. She was the only female magician in the whole palace, so she was shunned by all the older male magicians. Of course High Priest Seth's brother Ka was always nice to her and so was Sei. Well one day I found her cleaning a floor. I asked her why she was cleaning the floor."
" What did she say?" asked Yugi.
" That one of the older magicians told her to clean the floor. Of course she was High Magician so she was actually in charge," said Yami. " Well I told her not to do what they said. She just smiled and quietly stood up and I noticed for the first time that her eyes were purple. I had never even asked her what her name was. I had just called her 'Star', but I soon learned her real name. I also learned that she was the sister of one of the many guardians of the castled. I never knew there was a female guardian until I meet Namara, now Amara. I also learned that one of her friends was a pleasure slave for my younger brother, Zetzu. He was later assasinated," said Yami and stopped to catch his breath.
" Zenda right," said Yugi. Yami nodded and looked at his hikari.
" He also learned that we were friends of Tomb Robbers and forbad us to see them," said Yama quietly.
" Marik and Bakura right," said Yugi. Yama mumbled something under her breath.
" And Ashery, Shaina, and Anatsu," said Yama a bit louder.
" Let me continue," said Yami.
" Well I was engaged to a princess from a faraway land. Strange thing was Minto, that was her name, never arrived. To this day I don't know what happened to her," said Yami and looked at Yama.
" I killed her," said Yama locking eyes with him.
" What!" exclaimed Yami.
" I couldn't bare the idea of you marrying her," said Yama simply.
" I don't believe it. You killed her," said Yami in disgust. " I don't have all my memories about you back yet. Why did I care for you so much?"
" I was you queen," said Yama quietly.
" So I married you," said Yami.
" Yes," said Yama.
" Then you betrayed me for Bakura," said Yami coldly. Tears flowed down Yama's face and she ran out of the room. " What did I say?"
"That she betrayed you," said Shaddi and Yami turned around to look at him.
" Well she did," said Yami.
" No you betrayed her," said Bakura as he walked into the room supported by Duke.
" You take that back Tomb Robber," said Yami.
" She loved you and me and she still does, but she's...yours," said Bakura his face scrunched in pain.
" What do you mean she's mine?" asked Yami.
" I love Marik," said Bakura quietly and Duke looked at them all.
" But Marik loved Namara," said Yami.
" Hearts change over 5000 years," said a weak voice and there in a wheel wrapped in a blanket sat Keora with Mazara trying to drag her back to bed.
" How would you know?" asked Yami.
" You said it yourself, I'm wise beyond my years," said Keora weakly and suddenly blacked out.
" She should have stayed in bed," said Bakura shaking his head.
" Same with you, but you woke up and wanted to get as far away from Seto as humanly possible," said Duke.
" Mortal don't test me," said Bakura, but Duke just laughed.
" Bakura you have two bruised ribs and a sprained wrist, you can't hurt me," said Duke. Suddenly Bakura blacked out and Marik appeared and picked up Bakura and set him in the bed across the room from Yami.
" I don't believe this," said Yami.
" Well you better, because it's true," said Marik as he tucked Bakura in and disappeared.
" So Yami are you going to finish the story?" asked Yugi.
" Yugi, the rest you're to young to hear," said Yami.
" Yami," whined Yugi and then sighed.
" OK Yami I'll go back to bed," said Yugi and tried to stand up, but collapsed and whimpered as he fell down.
" Yugi are you OK?" asked Yami as he tried to get out of bed, but is body resisted. Yugi didn't answer and suddenly Sol and Neo appeared and looked at him.
" Ali where are you?" asked Sol and suddenly a girl that looked like Yami, just without spiky hair and only black and gold, with long bangs and hair appeared.
" Remind me to thank Keora later," said the girl and looked at Yugi and picked the smaller boy up in her arms.
" Ali?" asked Yami.
" Yes, father it is me," said Ali and looked at Yami and then walked down the hall and put Yugi back in his bed.
" Ali," said Maku as he opened his eyes from where he lay next to Mokuba, who he counted as his hikari.
" Yes, little brother?" asked Ali as she rested her arms on the bar of the bed.
" What happened to Yugi?" asked Mokuba as he awakened.
" He stayed awake to long," said Ali and then looked at the room.
" Where'd mom go?" asked Ali.
" I think she's in there," said Maku pointing to the bathroom as the Tripod around his neck pointed toward the door. It's five points pointed all over the place and Maku laughed. " Things going crazy."
" OK," said Ali and knocked on the door.
" Leave me alone," said Yama.
" Mom, come on," said Ali and the door opened and Yama starred at Ali in shock.
" Ali?" asked Yama and hugged her daughter. " How?" Ali smiled and pulled her into Keora and Ryou's room.
" I guess you can thank your hikari," said Ali. Keora rolled over and faced them.
" How long?" asked Keora.
" How long what?" asked Yama.
" How long was I out?" asked Keora.
" Maybe 20 minutes," said Yama.
" NO at Duelist Kingdom," said Keora.
" Three months," said Yama and Keora's eyes bugged out.
" Great and I guess I was mumbling spells the whole time," said Keora.
" Yes and I thank you for that. You're the one that gave Bakura, Marik, and Yami bodies," said Yama.
" Thanks, but I just hope we're well in time for the ball," said Keora and quietly slipped a chain from her neck and handed it to Yama.
" Give that to Ryou when he wakes up," said Keora and then went back to sleep. Yami looked at the chain. It had a pendant on it and on the pendant was on word 'Light'. Yami looked at her hikari and understood why she had given it to Ryou.
" I'll be back," said Yama and slipped the chain into Ryou's hand and then went back into Yami's room. Both him and Bakura were asleep. She crept up to Yami's bedside and slowly looked at him.
" How did it come to this after all we've been through?
Two of a pair now on opposite sides
From the very start with honor we dueled
Watched each others back and battled with pride
We're closer then family and now we have to fight each other," sand Yama and was shocked when Yami touched her arm.
" Where'd you get the song?" asked Yami.
" I well...Keora sings it," said Yama.
" Reminds me of Joey and Yugi," said Yami.
" Reminds me of you," said Yama.
" Why?" asked Yami.
" Because we're best friends, but now it seems we're on opposite sides," said Yami.
" I love you Yama," said Yami.
" Then prove it," said Yama.
" How?" asked Yami.
" Give me your hand," said Yama and Yami obeyed.
" Do you trust me?" asked Yama. Yami nodded after deliberating and suddenly he felt his spirit lift out of his body.
" What are you doing?" asked Yami a bit fearfully. He looked at Yama and she smiled and suddenly he realized what she was doing. He nodded and suddenly Yama had left her body and floated beside him. She kissed him and suddenly returned them to their respective bodies. Yami looked at her eyes and noticed that they were the same color as his. " I... Yama your eyes their the same color as mine." Yama nodded and smiled slightly.
" The change color my mood. When I'm happy they're purple or the color of your eyes. When I'm sad they're a dark purple, when I'm mad they're red and when I'm in a rage they're pure black," said Yama and suddenly slipped a necklace into his hand. Yami looked at it and looked at her with questioning eyes. " You're the Dark Magician and I'm the Dark Magician of Light." Yama held up her pendant with the Fallen Light Magician. Yami nodded and suddenly Yama looked around and disappeared.
