RYU NO FUKUSHU
(That's the title, it means: Revenge of the dragon) Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-gi-oh.
To the reader: words inside carets are thoughts. Words inside double carets are thoughts audible to yami/hikari, which don't appear in this chapter.
(Umm, hikari in Japanese is light, and yami is obviously dark, for those of you that didn't know that) '.'; It was dark, and cold. Ryu tried to roll over to her side and pull her knees up to her chest, for more warmth, but she couldn't. Some thing held her wrists to the wall, preventing her from moving. They were shackles. But why?!? Why am I hanging here, in this dungeon? What have I done? What have I done to deserve this?
Then the memories came flooding back to her. She had been caught. "Caught doing what?" she asked the black silence that was her cell, but only a muffled gag escaped her parched lips. As if in answer to her attempted question, more of her forgotten memories came back to her.
She had been the Pharaoh's favorite dueling partner, and they used to duel for hours on end, further honing their dueling skills, she had beating him once or twice, but she really was no match for the Game King's superior skills. But what have I done to deserve such a fate?
Then another wave of memories hit her. She had been hired by Seto Kaiba, the Pharaoh's head mage, to inform him of the secrets, and weaknesses of the Pharaoh's deck. But then she had been caught passing the information to one of Seto's goons. She had then been imprisoned in this cell to await questioning.
Then Seto came. Ryu had thought he had come to rescue her, to use his magic to melt her shackles then sweep her off her feet, and carry her away to some distant land- but, then, where was he now? Could he have been captured too? No. Seto is much too clever for that, isn't he?
Then it came full circle. Seto had come, but not to rescue her. He had said things to her, that at the time she thought she would never forget, but why have I forgotten now? that doesn't matter, at least not now, what mattered now was what he had said.
**FLASH BACK**
He came into the room and shut the door behind him, so the guard couldn't hear what we were saying. Then he squatted down so we could look eye to eye. Neither of us spoke for awhile, we just sat there, staring into each other's eyes. Then, Seto spoke his voice barely over a whisper; "you must under-stand this, Ryu. I can not rescue you." His voice trailed off and he looked away, as if pained him to look at the small light haired girl that lay before him.
"Why not?" Ryu asked in an even smaller voice then the Seto's had been.
"Because it would blow my cover!" Seto shouted, a little louder than necessary. "From here on in, the plan depends on secrecy. I can't afford to have more then a select few know what I am planning." Seto said this time; with a bit more self-control
"Am I not one of the few?" asked Ryu hopefully.
"Sigh, what I'm trying to say is, you are expendable, Ryu. From hear on in the plan can function with out you-"
"The PLAN!" Ryu broke in. "is that all you care about? What about me!? More importantly what about us!? Don't you even care about me any more!?" Ryu yelled angrily, trying to stand up, but being yanked back to the floor by her shackles.
"I'm sorry." Seto said shakily, coming in closer to Ryu. "You mustn't remember any of this, at least, not until after you've been questioned." he put his hands on her forehead, preparing to cast a low level 'forget' spell His hands. they're so cold, and what's that on his face? A tear- but. but, Seto never cries! after a few minutes, he took his hands away, stood up and turned towards the door.
Ryu's vision swam, and as her mind was on the brink of a black out, she murmured something under her breath that made Seto stop dead in his tracks. "I love you, Seto."
**END FLASH BACK**
So, that's what happened. Back stabbing fool! I'll get even with him if it's the last thing I do!
Ryu pulled out the gold chain that hung around her neck and delicately, ever so delicately, she held the small, prism shaped item between her fingers.
On either end of the prism was a small, gold, triangle that had the eye of Horus embedded with in the center of it. "By the Millennium Prism, Seto Kaiba will pay for his treachery!"
Just then the door creaked open, and Ryu quickly replaced the Millennium Prism around her neck. A heavy built man entered the room, holding a small, iron key. He walked over to Ryu and unlocked her shackles taking both her tiny wrists in one gigantic hand.
Normally, Ryu would have struggled for all she was worth, but since he was nearly three times bigger than she was, she thought better of it. He dragged her up several staircases to what felt like the roof, where he threw her to the ground. "They're gonna use you as a sacrifice to the god of the rising sun, Ra. So if you try anyting funny I getta make your death nice an' painful!" the guard said in a ruff voice.
"Lovely. I'll be sure to keep that in mind if I do try anything. funny." Ryu said, drawling out the end.
Then a priest showed up with a bowl and a glittering knife. "If you don't struggle, you'll have a much easier time in the under world." the priest said matter-of-factly. Ha! I won't have an after life! A vow on the Millennium Prism is not easily forgotten!
The bowl was then positioned under Ryu's head, and the knife was brought down swiftly.
Ryu's last thoughts were of Seto, and how she would be sure to savor the moment when she killed him.
Then, she was whisked off to the Shadow Realm where she waited patiently for over 5,000 years.
*** A.N: So, what did you think? It's my first fic, so I'd like some suggestions. And I know that in Yu-Gi-Oh, mages couldn't cast spells, but this is a fan FICTION so, IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, DON'T READ IT! Same applies to the Millennium Prism bit.***
