I'm Still Dreaming
Chapter *Nine*
Asenath stared at the delicate, white flower wedged between Yami's fingers.
"Oh..." she moaned, gasping for breath. She knew of the power that this single flower could hold.
"Teanna?" Honda said, his mouth gaping. "How could.... But... What?" Jonouchi shrugged. Asenath held the Sennen Card close to her heart, as if she were using it for protection.
"The mitsukai flower," she said, telling everyone as it was known.
"Mistukai...." Isis said. She thought for a moment, then said softly, "Angel flower." Yami looked at the flower in his hand, then stared down at Anzu. He bit his lower lip, tears threatening to fall. As soon as he opened the door with the flower on it, he could remember everything. He remembered how he me Teanna, how she helped him sneak out of his home to explore the city, that one night they spent together in the Garden.... He was even brought back to the fateful night she died. Only a few months after being crowned the Pharaoh's wife.... He even remembered their son, and how weak Teanna was left after his birth.
Yami closed his eyes, and gently pulled a white, sily petal from the base of the flower. He held it before him. Asenath took a step back.
"What're you doing?" she said, staring at the petal. Everyone else in the room was stunned. Jonouchi, who was trying to stop Anzu's bleeding, was right near Asenath. He couldn't believe that this hard bitch could ever look scared.
"This petal...." Yami seemed to go into a trance. His shoulders relaxed; his breathing softened. It looked like he was asleep on his feet. Suddenly, an unseen force seemed to grip the petal. An arm appeared, transparent. This arm was attached to a shoulder, a shoulder attached to a torso, a torso attached to the body of a young woman. She also had her eyes closed. She had long, brown hair that reached the middle of her back. She had a simple white gown on with a beaded necklace attached to the neck of the sleeveless gown. It was made with green gems found on the banks of the Nile. A gold sash was tied loosely around her middle. A fine silver chain with a small silver cartouche hanging from it was around her neck. A golden ring on her finger had a large green jem. It sparkled in the lights.
Both of them stood there. Yami opened his eyes slowly. He looked to his left. His eyes widened. Standing there was the woman. She opened her eyes and looked back at him. She smiled, and gently tugged the petal out of his grip. After recovering from his shock, Yami stepped back. Teanna stood in the room, wearing her priestes attire, holding a white petal from a mitsukai flower. She crumpled it into her palm, and brough her fist to her lips. She blew gently, emitting white sparkles. Asenath lowered the Card.
Jonouchi had been able to move Anzu out of the way, and was applying pressure onto her wound. She hadn't been bleeding for very long. She was still breathing, thankfully. Honda brought her head and torso into his lap. Her face was contorted into one of pain, and she was sewating hard. Honda used his sleeve to wipe her face and forehead.
"I wish she could see this," Jonouchi whispered.
Teanna opened her eyes. They gleamed like golden suns in the sky. She took a step forward, and took the chain off from around her neck.
"Since Yugi couldn't do it for me," she said in a soft, deep voice, "I'm going to do it myself." Teanna held out the chain to Asenath. Asenath stood there, stunned. She had been ready to shield herself from her once-apprentice, for the girl has been born with the powers of a priestess; Asenath had learned, which meant Teanna would easily out do her.
"Asenath," she started. "I would never kill your brother. I know that you think I did, but I didn't. I couldn't. I was trying to protect him." She cleared her throat. "When I was with him that last day, I wasn't trying to kill him. He was still alive, lying on the ground in front of the temple. I was trying... Trying to save him, but it was too much." She looked at Asenath in the eye. "I didn't mean for that to happen, I swear." Asenath looked down at the Sennen Card, then up at Teanna. When she finally did speak, no one expected her to say what she did.
"You...." she muttered. She sounded angry. Teanna moved her right arm the tiniest fraction. Asenath gripped the Card tightly. Yami realized what she was about to do right before she did it.
"Teanna!" Yami yelled, and grabbed onto her shoulders. Asenath had lifted the Card, and pointed it in her direction. A flash appeared. Both Yami and Teanna were caught in it. The silver chain dropped to the floor. Isis shielded her eyes from the blast. Asenath was pushed back a few feet from the force of the blast. Breathing hard, she lowered her arm slightly, and looked up. Her eyes widened with pure gleam.
All that was left of the couple was air. They were gone. Asenath straightened up, and placed the card around her neck. She placed her hands over it gently, then closed her eyes. She began to recite something.
"The dead lay to rest. The flesh turn to sand, to dust. Even gold, even sword, wrapped in the sheath of time...."
Jonouchi stood up slowly, ready to grab her. He looked over at Isis to make sure she was okay. He stopped when he saw her stunned expression. Isis was kneeling on the floor, Bakura's upper body in her lap, her hand laying gently on his chest.
Soon, the only sound in the room was Bakura's ragged breathing, which started sounding worse with every sharp breath he took. He moaned a little, his eyes squeezing shut, his lips pressed into a hard line. He turned a little, emitting a strangled sound. Isis looked down at him, then looked past Asenath and Jonouchi to the Prayer on the wall. She nearly screamed when she saw that the hieroglyphs at the top of the tablet were glowing. They were glowing a bright, golden color.
"Oh...." Isis murmured. Jonouchi inched closer to Asenath, only to be repelled by a strong force. He hit his head - hard - on the glass case behind him. He slid down the tablet and lay still. He had been knocked out. His head was drooping forwards, his arms limp by his sides. Blood trickled down the side of his face. Honda was wrapping up Anzu's waist with his school jacket. She seemed to be coming slowly back to consciousness.
What is she chanting? Honda thought. Asenath shook a little, as if she had just woken up, and continued.
"...The deceased Pharaoh's name is lost...." Honda gasped, as did Isis. The Prayers to the Dead! Isis thought. That's what she's reciting! Seto's poem to the Pharaoh!
"Time is the battlefield of the souls. We cry out, the Song of Battle, the Song of Friendship. Guide us... to the distant place of souls crossing." The Sennen Card, which had started to glow, stopped glowing. She opened her eyes and turned, facing Honda and the unconscious Jonouchi and Anzu. Honda stiffened. Isis smiled.
"Now," she said, "My little brother, Yami, and his wife, are gone." Honda blinked.
"Uhhh... who's Yami?" he asked, confused. Asenath raised her eyebrows, then laughed. She had to put a hand over her mouth to quiet her giggling.
"You don't know?" she said. "Why.... Yami is my little brother's nickname!"
"You mean the Pharaoh?" Isis asked tentatively. "I've never heard of that name for him before."
"That's because no one except his family called him that," she explained. She smiled.
"Where are they?" Isis asked, almost afraid of the answer. Asenath shrugged.
"A Penalty Game," she said simply. "Who knows what happened to them."
"Why did you recite the Prayer?" Isis asked. She was thinking of a way to get rid of Asenath, for Bakura was starting to breathe faster and faster, and more ragged.
"So that you will all be able to pass on with Judgment," Asenath explained, putting her hands behind her head. Isis blinked.
"What?"
"Yeah, so you don't come back," Asenath explained, taking off her Card. She held it into the air, then yelled,
"MITSUKAI!!"
Instantly, Isis was lying on the floor beside Bakura. Honda was on his back, Anzu still in his lap. They had both suddenly lost consciousnesses. Asenath held the Card gingerly in her hands. She smiled, and started to walk across the room to the door. She took off her boots, for they were stained with blood. She took the Resistance dagger and threw it into the drying puddle of blood in the middle of the room. As she mounted the stairs, though, something of the unexpected happened.
Someone pushed her back down. She fell, hitting the floor with a thud. The door at the top of the stairs locked themselves, even though the lock had been destroyed by Jonouchi. Asenath was breathing hard, looking for the culprit. Her eyes fell on the silver chain Teanna dropped. It was partially stained a crimson color. Asenath shook her head.
Could... Could that be Father's charm? she thought. As her eyes widened, the terrible thought came into her mind.
Yes. Yes it is.
No one was there to hear her scream.
(--^--new page divider thingy^_^)
"This is much more then a simple kidnapping," the officer said, writing in his notebook. "This has to be some sort of mass murder."
"It's so strange how they all died in different ways," another officer noted. He checked his list. "Look at this: one boy suffocated, one died of head damage, one boy was poisoned by cobra venom, another girl bled to death, one young woman had her throat slit, and the other... has no identified cause of death." He looked at his comrad. "What kind of sick person could have done this?"
"Don't forget that missing boy," a paramedic said, tapping her roster. "There's still a missing person."
"All that blood..." The first officer shook his head.
"Who's is that, anyway?"
"They're checking it, but I'm pretty sure it's the Mazaki girl's blood."
"That would make sense...." The medic shook her head. She looked up at the two officers with sad eyes. "It's just... terrible."
"Yes, it is," the other officer agreed. He looked back to where the police tape was surrounding the door to the basement. Nothing had been touched since they were found; the axe that Jonouchi had used to break through the door was still thrown on the floor. All of their bodies had been loaded into the ambulance. This one medic had stayed behind in case of any unanswerable questions found by the detectives.
"I mean, they were in high school," the medic said. "High school! It just isn't fair!"
"Misu," the first officer said, placing a hand on her shoulder. "It's alright." Misu nodded, wiping her eyes.
"I'm sorry. This is the first time I've worked on a murder with people so young."
"It is sad," The second officer agreed, checking over the files of all the bodies. "Wow. These guys... Doesn't look like their lives were too great anyway."
"I can't believe you just said that!" Misu exclaimed. "They all have people who love them! You work with one of those people! And you can still say that?!"
"Misu...." the first officer said, nodding towards the other officers.
"I'm sorry," she muttered again. Officer Two's eyes widened in shock.
"Oh my... God!" he said. "It says that this boy, Bakura Ryou, had that lung disease... What was it? Oh... Well it says here that if he starts to... hyperventilate... then you have to get him to a hospital in the next fifteen minutes or his lungs will just.... stop. Well, that's stupid."
"Wasn't he the one who suffocated?"
"Yeah.... He must have had an attack." Misu looked wistfully over at the basement door. She was a graduate from college, this being her first at-the-scene job. And she hated it. She had been the one to examine all the bodies, making sure they were all really dead.... She had practiced at school many a time, but that didn't even compare to the pain she felt when she examined them.
"...get going," Officer One said, closing his notebook. Misu turned to them.
"Oh, did you say something?"
"Yes. We have to go," Officer Two said. "We have to file everything we know." Officer One stopped walking beside Misu, and placed his hand on her shoulder.
"It's gonna be alright, Misu," he promised. "We'll find out what happened, and we'll find that missing boy. I promise."
haha! yugi's missing!!!!!!!
anyway...
In the little disclaimer thingy with the characters? Mandy is the "dub" name for Arya. they're the same person. Someone asked if they could use Arya once, but their story featured all dub names/dub story as well. SO, i decided to think up a dub name for Arya. i kept Maho the same. Then i thought, "Well, Mandy kinda soundz like Mana, so I'll use that!" and that's where THAT came from.... (The fic is one my cuz Emmy wrote for her site... dont know the URL but tis a cute fic!)
