Illusion of Innocence
Anthy: Wow...and what a chapter this will be."
Anshi: I know. Nazura gets to get pissy.
Anthy: Or get in trouble.
Anshi: What is she gonna do?
Anthy: I don't know yet...
Nazura: We're making this up as we go along.
Anshi: Oh. *goes off to listen to Bon Jovi*
Nazura: Sometimes I wonder about that girl.

Illusion of Innocence
A Serpent's Assassination
And we move
Round and round in circles
Round and round again
'Cause our mission is the future
And the future never ends
Nazura did not go home though. She hovered outside the game shop, under Mrs. Muto's bedroom window. She closed her eyes and concentrated on her four cobras at home, most likely scaring the hell out of Yami. The serpent-girl had a plan, an evil, psycho plan.
Yami looked away from the reheated macaroni & cheese and at what had slithered over his foot. He saw all four cobras slink over to the door and out a hole in the bottom. He opened the apartment door to see them speeding down the hallway and down the stairs. He went against his better judgment and didn't bother following them. When he returned to the apartment, he looked around, noticing something was different.
There were no snakes. And the Nazure had vanished too.
"This might not be a good sign." He said, opening the door and stepping out onto a balcony. He saw the game shop from where he stood.
Nazura kissed each one of her precious cobras once they came. She loved them dearly, and they loved them back. She told them that one of the windows was always open, and guess who's window that was. Yugi's.
She summoned Kalnaz, the taller and stronger of the Nazure and stood on his head, feeding her cobras into the open window. The four had their group instructions, and now...Nazura headed for home.
She walked through the door and sought out Yami.
"Yami, go somewhere else, now." Nazura stressed with insane urgency. Yami was about to ask questions but Nazura shoved him out. She told him to leave, head for someone else's house for the time being.
Yami headed over to Ryou & Bakura's.
"...She shoved me out as soon as she could. As far as I know, she is watching the shop." Yami said, stirring his tea.
"Baka!" Bakura shouted, jumping to his feet.
"What?" Ryou and Yami asked in unison.
"She is not only the master of games, but she is also a serpent queen. She has complete dominion over all snakes and what-not. The cobras leaving should have been the first sign that something was going to go wrong."
Silence fell over them as they heard sirens race by. Bakura and Yami looked at each other and fear began to mask their faces. Ryou looked from one to the other.
"Game shop?" Yami asked.
"Let's go. Ryou, stay here."
The two ran out as soon as they could. They found the place taped off and they pushed their way through the crowd towards Mrs. Muto's hysteric shrieking. Yugi spotted them as they emerged in the front of the crowds. He dashed over and hugged Yami tightly.
"What happened here?" Bakura asked urgently.
"Mom found four cobras in her room. She went into hysterics and called the police. She told them that there were cobras in her room and they came. I don't think they're dead, just stunned. They were put in a glass case, like an aquarium and then you showed up."
Yugi paused...only for a moment.
"Did Nazura do this...?" He asked.
Before anyone could answer, Mrs. Muto's shrieking became coherent sentences.
"IT WAS THAT SNAKE-GIRL!! SHE SENT THOSE HIDEOUS THINGS AFTER ME!!"
Her voice dropped to a whisper and a group of police cars soon sped off in the direction of the serpent-queen's home. Bakura looked at Yami and the two said they would return. They tore off after the cars, as fast as their magic would let them.
@@
Nazura waited for them to come, and she tried to fight without exposing her only family. But her speed did not make up for power, and thus she was handcuffed and dragged away to a mental institute. The police searched all over her apartment and found no trace of her snakes. They found pictures and snakeskin, but nothing real. They left shortly before Yami and Bakura arrived.
The two cautiously stepped into the apartment.
"Light come forth." Bakura whispered as an orb of light appeared in his hands. He split it off into several different orbs, all eventually reaching the size of the original, and sent them floating all over the wrecked home.
"Teach me how to do that."
"Later. Look over here."
Yami walked out of Nazura's bedroom with an armful of cobra eggs. He set them down gently on the couch as Bakura found several of the actual snakes, including Verdy. They all crowded around the eggs, as if they were guarding them. Yami and Bakura continued to find countless serpents, all who gathered around the eggs.
"Will you all be okay on your own?" Yami asked them.
"They'll be fine, let's get back to Yugi."
"Right."
And Yami was unaware of the snake that was hiding in the pocket of his jacket.
@@
The crowd had died down by the time the two (three) had gotten back, and Yugi was waiting for them. But once they even got to the tape, Mrs. Muto jumped at the, eyes blazing with hatred and fury.
"YOU!!!!" She shrieked. Yami jumped as an accusing index finger nearly made contact with his nose.
"You did it didn't you!? You live with that serpent witch, don't you?! I always see you two together! It makes me sick to think that my little boy is even FRIENDS with someone like YOU!!!"
Yami felt himself getting dragged backwards as more and more accusations flew from the raving woman.
"DAMN YOU AND YOUR MOTHER, The GODLESS TRAMP WHO RAISED YOU!!"
Rage exploded inside Yami, and Bakura barely had time to grab him and hold him back. If Yami had any soft spot, it was his mother, and even though it had been 5000 years since he and her were separated by death, he still loved her dearly. Bakura dragged Yami away...
And they couldn't help but think back, to the lives they once led.
