Mahlissa scowled as the dungeon door closed and smiled. Malik must have
misjudged her magic. If she so desired she could get out, but she needed to
wait until Sapna visited her in the dungeons. she refused to leave until
the Queen was safe.
~*~
Sapna stood, frowning deeply at the thought of something amiss. She crossed the luxurious room over to the door, which had a beautiful golden handle. The woman blinked upon memories that flooded her mind and took hold of her body.
The Indian awoke to bloodied, wrinkled silk sheets that were once glowing white. Screaming, the girl's chest heaved sobs as she sat up, pain shooting up her spine and causing her to clench her teeth. After reducing her sobs to cries,, the queen pulled herself together and dressed herself. Occasionally letting out small, short sobs, Sapna crossed the room to the door to leave and find her king. She reached for the golden handle.
Violently shaking her head of the memories, the ebony haired female opened the door quickly, not wishing to stay in the same room again. She knew certain things weren't adding up and quickly passed the halls into the grand hall, were she saw a tattered, rusted bronze door. Sapna wrinkled her eyebrows knowing full well she never remembered seeing that door there, past or present. The somewhat ugly door compelled her however, pulling her into it. She had such a strong feeling of curiosity to enter the door and relieve her curiosity. Her shaking hand slowly clasped over the rough handle-
"What are you doing?!" yelled a deep voice across the huge room. Sapna gasped and turned, only to be face to face with Malik himself.
"I. I was only curious to know what was behind this door." the woman stuttered, blinking in nervousness as the Egyptian towered over her.
"I don't think that's what you were doing. I think you were spying on my rooms because you didn't trust me, is that it?"
"Not at all, Malik."
"I believe that, Sapna." Malik's icy voice rang through the queen's ears as he took hold of her shoulders and threw her to the floor. The ebony haired woman let out a groan through gritted teeth as her body hit the hard marble floor.
"I tried to be nice to you, I took you in and made sure you were back in good health." the platinum haired teen said calmly as he slowly walked over to the heap that was Sapna.
"How can you nurse someone back to health when you're the one that made them sick to begin with?" Mahlissa said, the rusted door open behind her and a dead disfigured guard lay behind her.
"You! That prison was proofed so you couldn't escape!" Malik growled, pulling the Sennen Rod in its dagger form from behind his back.
"Your little dagger cannot do anything, fool," the blonde said, her eyes narrowing dangerously.
"Not to you, but to her. I will kill Sapna. If I cannot take her and the Pharaohs powers, then they'll both die." Mahlissa's eyes widened as Malik smirked.
"You will do no such thing!" another deep voice echoed through the giant hall.
"My Pharaoh!" Mahlissa whispered, bowing her head slightly. Yami looked at her confused but walked into the scene closer, followed by four others.
"Aibou, what are you doing here?" the blonde woman yelled once more, blinking as a younger version of herself walked in. The girl had a high pony tail held up by a thick ribbon and flowing blonde hair. She wore a blue sailor suit. The female next to her had long black hair and reddish brown eyes, and wore a similar school outfit, only skimpier. Surrounding the two girls were Yugi and the darker Bakura.
"Nice to see you, Mahlissa." Bakura said, ignoring the current conversation taking place.
"I was worried, so I decided to follow your energy pull until I came here." the younger blonde slightly pouted, furrowing her eyebrows. "And I'm not a child." Bakura snorted at this and walked up to the others. Sapna blinked at the teen next to the younger blonde. The girl looked almost exactly like herself, only a little shorter hair and no Sennen eye upon her forehead.
"Who are you?" she asked, bringing herself to her feet. Everyone in the room paused before taking in the resemblance of the two tanned females.
"I am Trinity." The girl murmured quietly, blinking at her older 'twin'.
"Ra, we all have reincarnations." Yami breathed, staring at the hikari's around the room.
"I guess we all do," chuckled an ever darker voice. Malik gritted his teeth in pain and clenched his head as his own yami threatened to take over.
"I knew he still existed," Mahlissa whispered to herself.
"Yes I do." Yami Malik smirked, taking in his new surroundings.
"Humph. So Malik wasn't as strong as he portrayed himself, he couldn't even fight you off." Bakura smirked.
"He's a weakling compared to me." the dark side of Malik smirked at everyone. He opened his mouth to speak once more when another female came barreling into the room.
"Master! Sapna has escaped her roo-" Sita stopped when she saw everyone in the great hall already gathered.
"You're a bit slow." Yami Malik grumbled, rolling his eyes.
"I'm sorry, Master." Sita whimpered, bowing her head in shame, even more fearful as she realized her master's other personality was in charge.
"Master, are you going to kill her now?" Sita lowered her fire engine red eyes at Sapna. "Or can I do it?"
"What?" Sapna blinked. "Wait a minute here; you have absolutely no reason to want to kill me!"
"Of course I do, you wretch." The silver haired girl glared at the other tanned girl.
"What's going on here?" Yami yelled, irritated by the whole scene.
"Sapna, if Trinity is your hikari, then who is this girl?" Mahlissa asked calmly, never showing a hint of emotion across her features.
"I don't know!" the Queen growled in defense.
"Don't tell me you don't remember?" Sita furrowed her eyebrows. "I am you're half sister." Sapna's crimson eyes widened in horror as her mind recalled the little girl she had once left so long ago.
"You. you're so grown up now." Sapna whispered in disbelief.
"Well, you would have recognized me easier if you didn't spend so much time in Egypt and watched me grow up."
"I left because my step mother blamed me for everything you ever did and you both constantly blamed me for father's death when he died! I shouldn't have to go through my own step mother beating me! I already went through enough in my past life!" Sapna yelled.
"As touching as this all is," Yami Malik paused, eyeing Sapna with narrowed eyes. "It is a pity that after meeting your long lost step sister and your brand new hikari that I'll be killing you right after." Mahlissa blinked and acted upon instinct as Malik's yami charged at the young Queen with Sennen dagger in hand.
It all happened as if in slow motion.
"Mahlissa!!" Yami yelled, his mind flooding with images.
"It's. okay." Mahlissa whispered to the pharaoh, giving him a weak smile as Malik advanced toward her. Sapna gasped as the dagger plunged Mahlissa's heart instead of her own.
"YAMI!!!" the woman's hikari rushed to her counterpart as she lie limply upon the ground. The girl sobbed as she stared up at the others.
"You idiot!!" The light version yelled, glaring at Yami. "You could have done something! You've always been stupid when it came to Mahlissa! She left her position of being Queen of Egypt so you could be happy with Sapna! You left her and her daughter do you could bask in another Queen's beauty! You bastard!" The young girl sobbed.
"How amusing when the truth comes out," Bakura smirked, enjoying the scene before him.
"Queen of Egypt?" Sapna whispered in confusion.
"Mahlissa was the Queen of Egypt." the hikari choked out through her tears.
". so you're not the Queen of Egypt?!" Yami Malik yelled, pointing at Sapna.
"Yami and I never got the chance to marry." Sapna defended. "I never knew he was married already!" She turned and looked at Yami, who blinked in surprise.
"Nor did I know they ever married," Bakura growled, narrowing his chocolate orbs at Sapna and Yami.
"She was useless to you the whole time, you had the wrong Queen!" The blonde girl said, crying in defeat over her yami's chest.
"My work was futile then." Bakura snarled, glaring at Yami.
"And the real Queen that could grant us an heir to the throne and Pharaoh's power is dead." Yami Malik looked at the floor, thinking.
"She said she had a daughter though." Yami whispered.
"You all are stupid." Sita rolled her eyes. "That's her daughter!" The woman pointed to the sobbing teen on the floor.
"You're the heir to the throne, then," Sapna marveled, staring at Mahlissa's daughter.
"Ileana?" Yami asked, blinking at the girl he mistook for his daughter.
"No, my name is Melissa." The girl replied in a shaky voice, angry at the way everyone was too busy talking over her 'yami's' worth more than her death.
"No, your present name is Melissa. MAHLISSA took you with her when she sealed herself into an item. You cannot remember the day you were brought into the world because you were still a toddler." Sita said.
"And how do you know all of this?" Sapna asked.
"I was the carriage driver." The silver haired woman smirked. "And those two also helped her leave."
"Well now this makes more sense." Yami said, looking down at his dead wife and kneeling next to her, emotion finally getting to him.
"Fine. Let's just kill the pharaoh and his betrothed." Bakura growled, pulling out a knife of his own.
"And then his daughter." Yami Malik smirked.
"No!" Yugi yelled, finally speaking after being quiet for so long.
"Humph. The little runt finally decides to talk?" the tomb robber chuckled darkly.
"You won't harm any of them!"
"And why is that, runt?" Malik's darker side asked amused.
"Because I challenge you to a shadow game!" Yugi yelled through the hall, everyone in the room gasping in shock.
