Oh and in one of the reviews somebody mentioned something about sentences starting with a capital letter … heehee, sorry but I was too lazy to change the lower case to capital so that's why that happened *smiles sheepishly*
Marikue: hmphf! Lilo doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh
Lilo: *whining* what did I doooooooo??????)
~Eyes of Death~
She didn't know where she was or what she was doing. She wasn't even sure that it was her. Trees were passing her in a blur and her eyes were half closed for some reason, as if glaring. She wasn't cold or anything, she couldn't feel the wind that was beating against her face. It was like she was watching a movie from someone's prospective and couldn't do a heck about anything. All in all it wasn't a very happy feeling and it felt like she had butterflies in her stomach with one minor difference … she could feel no stomach. She could only watch. She could see that she was heading strait for a very, very big tree. She tried to close her eyes, to prevent the impact that was about to happen but nothing responded to her, nothing at all. There was a whoosh as she came crushing into a tree and her eyes snapped open, seeing Yami's troubled face but only for a millisecond. She was pulled back to her I-see-but-can't-do-anything state. First came shock because she was very well alive, or so it seemed, for now she found herself in something which had a dangerous close resemblance to shadow realm.
"I see that you are awake." A raspy voice said from nowhere and then again, everywhere. Tea tried to look around but all that met her gaze was darkness and that voice…
"Who are you?" she demanded, feeling extremely stupid about talking to no one in particular yet hoping to get an answer. "Where am I?"
"Inside of my mind" the voice said again but it was so familiar yet so distant and strange that Tea just couldn't put her finger on it. The answer she got didn't help either. She didn't want to be in someone else's mind! "As for my name …" there was a pause and Tea gasped and tried to back up a few steps as a figure clad in ancient Egyptian clothes appeared a few inches away, standing right in front of her, his eyes boring holes in her head.
"… Bakura" she whispered and everything clicked. Everything that happened in the forest, the dagger, the insults … everything made sense except of why she was in his head. That didn't make any sense at all.
"Oh, so you do remember me?" he gave a short laugh that made blood freeze in her veins. This was the Zok/Bakura guy! The nutcase ….. well, not really but a guy that was off his rocker. With this discovery, she feared for her life. Bakura did have two items after all …
"I am sorry." She whispered in reply, hoping that he would understand and forgive her little outburst. God, she hated it when she was the one to blame!
"I don't care human but you know … now I can get rid of the curse that I so foolishly put upon myself in my early ages of life." At this he laughed again though Tea couldn't see what was so funny about the predicament that she was in right now. Maybe it was funny from the side? She seriously doubted her last thought but who knows? When you are dealing with maniacs everything that involves blood is pretty and death is funny … Not that Evil Bakura was a maniac, the Evil Evil Bakura was the one and only …
"A curse? What Curse??" she asked in a nervous tone … was she supposed to represent some virgin massive sacrifice? Somehow, she didn't like the sound of it.
"Oh, really, it's self-explanatory" Bakura said with a smirk, watching as a
frown appeared on the girl's worried face.
"Mind sharing?" she asked. This guy was pulling the strings! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
"Oh, why tell you when I can show you?" Bakura asked as he began to fade into the nothing ness.
"How?" Tea asked desperately, not wanting to be left alone in this darkness … even if her company was Evil Evil Bakura, it was still better then being alone … well, maybe not but hey!
"You will see through my eyes…" were his last words as he faded away from her sight.
(a/n: I could leave it right here only to be strangled by other readers of the story! Hehe, never mind, it was just a good cliffhanger *Marikue smacks her on the head* the story!!!!!! Lilo: right!)
"What that's supposed to mean?" Tea asked, bewildered and then suddenly she
was back in the forest where she left off sorta … but the tree was perfect in
shape with no holes in it or anything remotely close and she realized that she
was still alive, not a pancake as she thought she would be.
"It's quiet simple Tea. You see everything that I see" Teas mental eyes widened to the size of sauce pans! It was her speaking, literally …. It was Bakura's voice coming out of her body! What the hell????
"This isn't your body" Bakura simply stated, taking on a smug look on his face. Tea was, to say the least, in complete shock and her mind was practically paralyzed when everything clicked into place. Bakura took her soul and transported it to his body! She was in his body! What the hell????????????????????
"No, I didn't transport your soul, I simply took your 'consciousness' along for the ride." He gave off his evil laughter which made everything in the forest stop dead from fright if it hadn't died of shock already …
YOU CAN READ MY MIND???????????? Tea screamed in her head while feeling very stupid about talking to herself and very vulnerable because she couldn't stop him what so ever.
"Yes" he replied as if reading minds was an everyday occurrence.
'Um………' Tea trailed off, not sure how to take it. Was he able to read minds the entire time? Like Pegasus?
"Almost" Bakura said as his smirk widened. He found it very amusing; the way the girl reacted when she found out about one of his abilities ….. Tea, on the other hand, was freaked! She never, never EVER knew that the tomb robber could read minds! He probably couldn't read them to a full extent but still … she doubted that Yami knew about this, she really did.
"Yami knows and he also knows how to block it, that damned pharaoh." Bakura replied to Tea's unspoken question, while still running and heading straight for … you guessed it! Another HUGE tree!
"WATCH OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' Tea screamed, trying to close her eyes and preparing for an impact but it never came. Actually, Bakura halted right in front of the trunk and stared at it as if it just appeared there and he was trying to decide what to do with it.
'ARE YOU NUTS?????????????' Tea screamed, being very pissed. Who wouldn't when someone that possesses your … consciousness is a nutcase who wants to kill himself by running head straight into a tree in the forest, breaking his neck and possibly his back plus a numerous amount of bones?
"Did you know that I can pass through solid things?" Bakura asked, tilting his head slightly to the side.
"NO?!?" Tea exclaimed, awestruck. The spirit could pass through solid? She felt like fainting.
"Can't have you faint on me" Bakura said in a calm voice. "We are almost there" he said as he walked right through a very solid tree. For a second there Tea felt light, as if she(Bakura's body) weighted nothing but then the feeling was gone and she realized that she passed through the tree! Wow! Suddenly, she felt very suspicious towards the spirit, knowing how he managed to now to be caught all those times in Egypt. Tricky fellow.
"We are 'where'?" she asked, not liking the sound of that and reminding herself that this was the Evil Evil Bakura she was dealing with. You can't expect anything good from that guy.
"Now, now Tea. Sit back, relax and enjoy the show!" his laughter gave Tea the feeling that he was about to kill everyone in the entire Domino city! It was very, very scary and she tried to tell him that she didn't want to see this something at all but apparently he didn't feel like reading her mind anymore or simply ignored her. The feeling of dread settled deep down in her stomach (literally) and she felt butterflies dancing around her whole entire 'mind' body. (A/ n: doesn't make sense, does it? I thought so too-_-) Bakura, on the other hand burst through the trees to stand on the edge of a cliff overlooking a town Tea new all to well. It was where her grandma lived and sometimes Tea used to visit the old woman, who was a bit … crazy to put it nicely.
What are you doing here????????? She asked the spirit of the ring, hoping to get an answer out of him.
"I came for revenge. I came to kill" Bakura said in a raspy voice, his body turning into a humanoid black void …. In other words, all you could see was a black void-like cloud that had a very close resemblance with a human shape. Tea gasped in shock when she finally realized what Bakura meant. Not only that, she had seen it. It was worse than the scariest of all horror movies as Bakura killed everything, from human to things like fish!!!!!!! Everything that was living and breathing had fallen under his had as he made three stabs into their forehead, making a triangular hole in their heads. He moved from house to house, killing its residents and leaving no clues behind. Only the triangular hole in their foreheads, only their shocked and lifeless eyes showed that hey were dead. Blood was running like a river, and no matter how hard Tea screamed from terror and shock, Bakura didn't stop. Nothing could stop the monster that was on its rampage. In 15 minutes the town was usually busy with people head for work or kids playing outside now stood in eerie silence, death filling the air. Tea could take it no longer when Bakura stepped through the wall of the last house, walking right through the TV that the old woman was watching, paralyzed in shock to what just appeared out of her living room wall. The last thing that Tea saw was a flash of silver-red and a triangle, eyes of death.
(Lilo: this chapter is done! Tea's grandma is going to live! Don't worry … I don't like deaths but I had to kill a couple … not very significant people. So ya, don't go nuts on me. Eyes of death meant that she could only see death and she practically fainted sorta. As well, some people didn't really get what this 'curse thing' meant so I am going to explain it quickly right now and then it will also be explained in later chapters of the story as well. Here goes: Bakura was shone away from the society of his village because he had 'weird' powers and everyone thought that he was a cursed demon of some sort … then the guards of the High Priest (Seth (Seto Kaiba)) came to eliminate the village cuz it had a lot to do with mil. items and Bakura was someone who had powers without the mil. items and Seth wanted all of the power to himself(no sharing) and ordered to exterminate the entire village cuz of Bakura. Bakura's mother died on Bakura's eyes defending him. She died by getting a 'triangular hole' in her forehead and Bakura lost his control sorta and swore that he would avenge every day of her life with the life of another. So ya! Also, I won't have internet until this Sunday *receives a glare from her readers* and I am very sorry to say that the next chapter will be posted on Sunday (hopefully) if my internet will work. If it will work on Saturday = even better! I'll post the chapter as soon as I can! So ya, just telling you guys so that you won't make a pancake out of me … ya, I finally got high speed … actually, I have to pay for it myself (partially) but still -_____-"
Marikue: I would also like to point out that this isn't Bakura's past even though some parts of this story are true. Lilo doesn't remember what exactly Bakura's village had to do with everything and she will probably go back and read the manga again -_- yo, and download new eps of yugioh &inuyasha!
Lilo: I actually became quiet obsessed with that anime. Sesshoumaru rocks and it's NOT a tail on his right shoulder! Ya, just felt like saying that … you might think otherwise, *shrugs*
Marikue: enough of this babbling *=_=* c ya next chapter! R&R)
