***At Mai's apartment*****
"So, you're telling me that Anzu's your mom?" Yamuki winced at Mai's emphasis on 'mom'.
He nodded. " I have no idea how I came to this place. I-I. . . " He clenched his hands into fists.
"You're what, sweetheart?". Mai's eyes seemed to lose some of their surprise taken in by Yamuki's confession. It seemed to her this young man had been through some really rough (and recent) times. //Almost like a minature me.// She could tell now the relation he had with Anzu. At a fair distance away, he looked increduously like Yugi, yet now, Anzu's blood was clearly showing its strong presence. The color of his hair, his eyes . . . Yet, she seemed almost certain of his indistinguishable relation to Yugi. He hadn't said anything of the King of Games ... at least, not yet.
"I lived in Egypt, Thebes to be precise. My mother was attacked." Yamuki's body tensed. "I ran to help her, but, I couldn't save her. And that's when I was confronted by 'him'."
Mai blinked from confusion. "Who's him?"
Yamuki shook his head. "No clue. He sent me here."
Mai thought over his words. Was there something else he wasn't telling her? It sure felt like it.
She waited further to see if he would respond anymore.
He continued. "He did give me something." Yamuki lifted up a golden object strung around his neck. It looked like a Scale. Mai's eyes widened in fear. //Yugi has something like that! So did Marik, his sister, and the weird white haired guy. Bakura, wasn't it?//. Mai swallowed slowly. After all she had been through with Pegasus and Marik, surely this wasn't going to become . . . worse?
"Do you need somewhere to stay?", Mai couldn't help but blurt out.
Yamuki's faced reddened. //He's definitely Anzu's son.//. "Well, do you?", Mai repeated a bit impatiently. Yamuki shook his head in a 'no' response. "Well then, you're staying her-"
"But, I couldn't!", Yamuki had interrupted. "I would be too much of a burden."
Mai placed her hands over her hips and looked irritated. She walked over to Yamuki, leaned down, and jabbed one finely painted fingernail onto his nose. "Don't argue with this woman, hun." There was that emphasis again. Yamuki was frozen to the chair. "Good boy!" Mai smirked at him. That gave him a shiver. //Who IS this woman?!// Yamuki thought.
"Well, hun, it's settled. Yer just lucky I have a spare bedroom."
Yamuki sweatdropped. He wasn't surprised if she didn't have two or three more spare bedrooms to boot. He sighed. "Alright. Where's mine?"
Mai's smile/smirk turned into a frown. //There's defintely more of his father in him than Anzu. . . Maybe he's related to that Kaiba kid.//
Yamuki's face took a bored look. **A/n: remember the date Anzu had with Yami? And Mai came up to Anzu and she started to freak? Well, if you looked at Yami's bored expression, just picture that. LOL ;)*
He wasn't expecting the woman to drag him down the hallway and into another room. "Here it is." She replied irritably.
Yamuki straightened his clothes. "Thank you."
Then, it looked as if Mai had been struck by lightening. "Damn! I'm going to be late for work!" She ran out of the room to grab her coat.
"Wait!" Yamuki called.
"What is it? I have to go, you know."
"Could you please keep this a secret and not tell anybody? I have a feeling it would just make things more complicated."
"Yeah, yeah! See ya later, hun!" With that, she was out the door leaving a terribly exhausted 'guest' behind.
"Woman." Yamuki muttered. He turned around, went into his room, and shut the door.
He looked at his new room. It was like the rest of the apartment, save for the pictures of harpies. The walls were painted a violet color while the bed was of a similar tone. There was a bathroom to his left and a closet to his right. With nothing else to do, the bed did seem certainly inviting. He tested the bed first with his finger. Poking at it and finding nothing uninviting about it, he laid down with a soft 'plop!'.
The Scale around his neck gave an eerie glow. Yamuki's eyebrows knitted together. "That's strange for a golden hunk of junk to do." Puzzled, he propped himself upon one elbow and with his free arm, he lifted the Scale into view. "I certainly hope you're not the cause of all this trouble." Pang ran through him of his mother. His grip around the Scale tightened. The light seemed to take a blue color now. Tears slowly crept from his eyes. He didn't wipe them away. He just simply let them fall. Then, from his pocket, a card fell onto the floor.
Yamuki turned his head slightly to the card. "I have no idea what either of these things are."
He started to get angry. The Scale seemed to react to his sudden mood change, and unknown to Yamuki's eyes, one balance seemed to raise higher than the other as his rage increased. "This is all so stupid!" He tore the Scale off his neck and threw it to the carpetetd floor. "Curse you! Curse everyone!" He let out a shout of anger as he pounded his fists into the mattress. "Why?! Why?! WHY?!"
The light changed to an ominous shade of crimson, much close to blood. On the floor, the Scale floated from the carpet and into the air. It now hovered above Yamuki's pounding body. The raising balance raised even further into the air as it's brother went even lower.
A small, bloody feather appeared on the raised end and to whom knew of it's power, it signified certian peril. Everything outside became deathly quiet and now the only sound was Yamuki's crying onto the bed.
A voice, a cold and dark voice whispered through the darkness. "If the heart is heavier than the feather, the soul is full of sin."
This brought Yamuki to his senses. He stopped crying and was slowly getting control of himself when he heard the voice speak the same words again, this time much louder. "If the heart of heavier than the feather, the soul is full of sin!"
Yamuki whipped around only to come face to face with the floating object. "What in the seven hells?!"
Fear charged through his body. He could not move. The Scale moved towards him. The light changed an even deeper shade of red. It now hovered in front of his face. "If the heart is heavier than the feather-".
"I get it!" Yamuki shouted. "Just-just stop!" At the sound of the voice, the Scale stopped at his command, then flew over his head and rested once again around his neck. The light slowly faded away. Yamuki panted heavily. //What is going on?!//
Something told him to look to the floor. Where the empty card had fallen, a picture was forming on its surface. As he took a closer look, a right side up black crescent moon appeared. Then, straight down its middle, a two sided scythe. "Death?", Yamuki whispered.
A face appeared onto the card and the 'death' signature faded leaving a man's face staring straight back at him. It was heard to make out, but the man definitely had slitted eyes.
"Damn", was the last thing Yamuki muttered as he felt his life force drain from him as he fell onto the bed.
**********
***In Yugi's room****
A scream ehcoed through the building as a young man was shaked from his nightmare.
"Yugi, Yugi!?" Yami shook his partner, trying to get him to wake up. Yugi finally gave a gasp of breath, and leaped into Yami's arms, trembling with fear. "I-I felt it, Yami. That evil... tthat evil!". Yami just held Yugi as the young one started to cry.
"I felt it too, Yugi."
Yugi shook his head. "You don't understand! I 'saw' him!"
Yami knitted his eyebrows together as he tensed. "Him! He was . . . so evil! And then. . . you were there, but you were different!"
Yami's eyes widned. "That's impossible, Yugi! I can't go anywhere, you know that."
Yugi shook his head. "It was you! Except . . . you had blue eyes. Blazing, blue eyes. . ." Yugi callapsed from exhaustion. "Yugi? Yugi!"
Yami shook Yugi, but to no avail. //I need to find someone to help me . . .// His prayer's had been answered as the phone rang. "Hello?!" He practically shouted into the phone. "Yugi, it's me! It's Anzu! I'm coming over!"
