I'm Still Dreaming

Chapter Ten

Yami opened his eyes to find his arms pinned to.... a wall. A large brick wall. He moved a little, trying to see his surroundings.

Where am I? he thought, blinking. Finally, his eyes got used to the darkness surrounding him. He `looked up for some kind of ceiling to see if he could figure out where he was. He couldn't see it.

"Teanna?" he called, his voice echoing. He heard a moan from beside him. Yami turned to the side, his eyes searching for Teanna. She was right next to him, hanging. Her long hair was falling over her shoulders, and her wrists were bleeding. Her cheeks were pink from the blood. Her forehead was also bleeding. She was wearing different clothes, now, too. She had a long, white skirt rimmed with gold that reached her feet. She had a white cloth wrapped around her breasts. A thin, gold necklace was hanging from around her neck. Yami stared in confusion.

She's..... bleeding... he thought. How can that be? That was before he realized he had a dull pain in his wrists. He looked up the best he could, and saw little streams of blood flowing down his arms. He blinked.

Okay.... he thought. That's really weird... he realized that blood was oozing down the side of his face as well. His forehead was pounding, and blood pretty much covered his arms and legs as well. His clothes were stained with blood.

What the hell.... he just couldn't figure out what was going on. That was when the shackles broke, and both Yami and Teanna hit the floor. Teanna woke up instantly, looking around with a confused look on her face. She looked at Yami, and her eyes widened.

"Teanna," Yami whispered, "what's wrong?" Teanna just shook her head and pushed herself up. She placed her hands on the sides of his face, and brought hers close to his.

"Yami," she said softly. "You should look at yourself."

"I'm covered in blood, I know that," he said. Teanna shook her head no.

"That's not only it." Yami stood, Teanna following behind. He looked around the room for something. Anything...

"Look," Teanna said, pointing. She turned Yami around and directed him towards the edge of the room. A solitary torch was perched on the wall, an ancient mirror next to it. Yami ran over, and bent down to look in it. What he saw made him gasp out loud. He pushed himself backwards, not really sure if what he was seeing was real or not. Teanna was having the same reaction.

Yami placed his hand on the mirror, and bit his lip. He looked up at Teanna, back at the mirror. He took a breath.

"Teanna," he started, "How.... how could we be like this...?" Teanna shook her head.

"I don't know," she admitted. The long cape protruding from her shoulders swept around her feet. It was indigo. It had multiple rips and tears in it. She looked like a queen, which is what she was. However... Teanna shook her head no.

"This is impossible," she said, looking down at him. "I'm dressed like I was.... when I died...." Yami nodded in agreement, standing. For he, himself, was also dressed like he was when he died. That's why he was covered in blood and wounds. He looked at his hands, and then looked at Teanna. She shrugged. Yami's eyes danced around the room. He spun around, his cape whipping Teanna. It was the same color as Teanna's. He folded his arms and closed his eyes.

"I think I know where we are," he explained.

"Where?"

"In a tomb... somewhere. I've never seen this place before, but I'm pretty sure that's where we are." Teanna didn't answer.

"And why are we here?" she asked finally. Yami turned around, and gasped, a horrified look on his face. They hadn't seen the wide doorway to another room. Suddenly, torches lit the room before them. Teanna turned around, and backed up, stumbling.

In the next room was a body, lying half on the floor, half against the wall. Yami fell down to his knees, to horrified to stand.

The body was Yugi's. §

----------------------------------------------------------

(--^-- old page divider thingy. i didnt like the new one.)

Maho flipped through the book without actually focusing on it. He was too preoccupied. He couldn't get the image of all of those people lying there... He closed his eyes and straightened himself up.

This is ridiculous, he thought. I'm being so insensitive. He had been, especially towards Arya. She was a total mess, and there was nothing he could do for her. He placed the book down and stood up, walking to the window. He looked out at the wet streets and wet surroundings. That was when Arya arrived at the door to the small library, biting her lip. Her cheeks were tear-stained, and her eyes were red.

"Maho," she said softly. Maho turned, seeing her standing there.

"Arya," he said, smiling. Arya looked down, then at Maho.

"They found Yugi," she said. "He's okay, just scared."

"Where did he turn up?" Maho asked. Arya shrugged.

"I think it was the basement of the Domino Museum... Where the others were..." Arya kicked at a floor tile. "Maho, do you think those things that were found are important?" Maho nodded, looking down at the black bag which held everything found at the museum.

"Maybe we should give these to Yugi," Maho suggested.

"After the police stop questioning him," Arya said. "Especially Rei. He's bombarding him with all these questions... like where did Yugi disappear to? Why did he come back? Stuff like that...."

"Do you think he might have been unconscious for everything that went on down there?" Maho asked. Arya raised her eyebrows. "I mean, since he doesn't know anything..."

"I don't know," Arya admitted. "Maybe he was. Maybe he wasn't. Maybe he's lying about the whole thing. We don't know. We only have him since...." she couldn't finish her sentence. Maho nodded. He bent down and picked up the black bag.

"We should give this to Yugi," he said slowly. "Yes, we should." He walked out of the library and down the hall of their large apartment. He stopped in the kitchen, and called the police station. Arya listened to his conversation.

"Yes... Yes... Could I have Mazaki Rei?" he waited, and then said "Kishimoto Mahaado. Thank you." Arya raised her eyebrows again. Maho rolled his eyes and made a face. Arya giggled. Finally they came back.

"Yes... Rei, Rei, listen to me. I think maybe we should show Yugi the artifacts. Maybe he knows something.... Yes.... Oh, that. That's the Sennen Card.... Yes, it is the eighth Sennen Item... I don't know! Wait... Fine, fine, I'll do my best. Are you happy now? What?..... I'm sorry. Yes I'll hold."

"What did he want?" Arya asked.

"He wanted to know when the Sennen Card is," Maho explained. "He wants me to explain it for Yugi and himself. Then he told me he was stressed from all this, so he was gonna be a little snippy...."

"He did just lose his daughter...." Arya said softly. Maho nodded in agreement.

"Exactly." Rei came back to the phone. "Alright, alright.... Wait... How about we not do it there? Yes... Okay... My office? It's not big enough.... Oh.... Well.... Yes, her's is big enough... Okay.... Alright.... Ja ne." He hung up.

"Well?" Arya asked. Maho looked up at her.

"We're meeting in Isis' office." §

----------------------------------------------------------

Rachel would not let her son go. She held him as he leaned on her, asleep. She hadn't let him go since he was found the day before. A blanket had been thrown over his shoulders.

After finding out that his friends all died mysteriously, Yugi went into an uncontrollable rage. They had to sedate him before he cause injury to himself or anyone else around him. His breaths were short and uneven. His face was white, his skin clammy. He shivered and sqinched his eyes tighter. Rachel tightened her grip on his cold body. His face was dirty, with streaks of shining wetness through. His tears seemed to clear a path down his face.

"My boy...." Rachel whispered, and closed her eyes as well. She was very tired; she hadn't gotten any sleep the night before. Too much had been happening. Six deaths... A mass murder.... Their bodies were being kept in the hospital until further notice. That was all Rachel knew. She also knew that they were going to be cremated, every last one of them.

Rachel couldn't stomach what was happening. Police were everywhere all the time; doctors were completely baffled over one body; grieving people left and right; unanswered questions, worried glances, sorrowful tears..... It was all way too much....

It took her awhile to realize someone was speaking to her.

"....If it wasn't too much for your son.... Uhhh, Rachel? Are you awake?"

"Hmmm?" Rachel said, snapping her eyes open. Rei was standing in front of her, arms behind his back, a look of confusion on his tired face.

"Oh... Sorry, Rei, I.... I wasn't paying attention," Rachel said, rubbing her eyes. She didn't want to deal with this right now.

"It's alright, really," Rei said. He stepped aside to let Rachel stand up. Yugi woke with a start at her movement.

"Uhn...." he moaned, blinking. He rubbed his eyes, the blanket falling from his shoulders. He looked up at Rei and Rachel. He temporarily forgot about what was happening.

"Mom?" he said, still half asleep. "Rei? Huh? Wha..." His eyes widened; he remembered now. He closed his eyes and leaned back against the back of the couch they had been sitting on.

"Umm, what were you saying, Rei?" Rachel asked, her hands folded in front of her. She was nervous for some unexplainable reason. Rei raised his eyebrows.

"If you don't mind, Kishimoto Mahaado had something he wished to talk about with your son... We were going to use Isis Ishtar's old office..." Rei said in a low voice.

"What does he wish to speak to him about?" Rachel said, in a voice just as low.

"Some things that were found in the room. He may know something about it."

"You heard him, he was unconscious for the whole thing..." Rei sighed at her stubbornness.

"Look, Rachel, I don't make the rules here. He may have some information about these items we can use." Rachel frowned and remained set in her ways.

"It's too soon. This poor boy, he goes through all of this.... Then disapears to who knows where, then shows up and finds out all his good friends are dead.... I just don't think it's a good idea right now!" Rei became stern.

"Listen, I want to know what happened to my daughter," he whispered tensely to her, his voice slightly wavering on daughter. "He's the only person still alive from this, and if he has information that is useful to the police and the government, I want to know about it!!" Rachel backed up, slightly scared. But she was still convinced that talking to Maho wasn't good for her son.

"Rei," she started, louder then before, "I don't care what they want!! It's too soon."

"But we have to! While the whole thing is still recent in his mind!" By this time, many people in the station stopped to watch this arising argument. Rachel backed up some more, fear showing in her eyes.

"That boy is not little anymore, Rachel!!" Rei nearly yelled. "He is old enough to deal with this."

"He's never been in this situation before!!" Rachel yelled right back. "He's never been in a situation when your life is at stake! He just came out of it alive!"

"Lucky, you mean!" Rei yelled back. He seemed really pissed now. "I LOST MY DAUGHTER!!! YOU DIDN'T LOSE ANYONE! YOU SHOULD AT LEAST LET THE PEOPLE WHO LOST SOMEONE FIND OUT MORE!" Rachel was breathing hard, her face sweaty. She brushed her hair behind her ears, and stared at Rei.

"Listen," she started calmly, "I'm sorry, Rei. I didn't mean to insult Anzu. God bless her, she was an amazing girl. But it's just too early for him. He may not be little, but he is... I don't know, I'm just nervous."

"Rachel," Rei said, "How do you know he's never been in a situation like that before?"

"I don't know, maybe he has," she answered, sitting down. She put a hand to her forehead and closed her eyes. Rei looked down at her. He wasn't as mad anymore; now he was just frustrated.

That was when someone quipped,

"Where is Yugi?" Both Rachel and Rei turned to where Yugi had been. All that was left behind was the blanket. §

----------------------------------------------------------

Yami's jaw dropped. He almost couldn't comprehend what he was seeing, it was so much. His eyes setled onto Yugi's limp, unmoving body. Blood was rolling down his forehead, surrounding his face. His arms had slashes, as if done by a short blade. His clothes were torn, rimmed with dark blood. His eyes were half open, his lips parted gently; his chest was heaving up and down with great difficulty.

A tall, stone statue of Anubis stood right behind Yugi, a sword in his hands and a dagger in a small case attached to his leg. Anubis stood, looming over Yugi, as if beckoning him to die.

"Oh...." was all Teanna could muster. She gripped the wall, for her legs were shaking. Yami stood slowly, and then ran towards Yugi, tears in his eyes.

"Aibou!" he cried, and ran next to him. He knelt down next to him, but he was too afraid to touch him. Yami had the strange feeling that if he touched him, Yugi would just stop breathing.

"Yami...." Teanna whispered. Her heart pounded heavily. She felt so much sorrow inside her; Yami's pain seemed to be coursing through her.

Yami gently cupped his hands around the bottom of Yugi's head, moving it against his chest. Yugi made a moaning sound, then closed his mouth, a thin line of blood still flowing from his lips.

"A-Aibou," Yami muttered, putting his arm gently around Yugi's shoulders. Yugi moved his head a little ways, then took a big breath. His breathing was still very coarse sounding.

"Mou.... mou hitori no boku..." Yugi muttered, his eyes closed. Yami looked down at him in surprise. Yugi's eyes opened slowly. His eyes looked vacant and empty, two violet, lifeless pits. He looked up at Yami, and closed his eyes again.

"Aibou!" Yami cried, hugging him. Yami could feel him breathing underneath his grasp. Yami closed his eyes in pain and fear, hugging him tighter.

If this is a Penalty Game, Yami thought, This seems so real...

Yugi said something more.

"Mou hitori no boku..." he muttered, "I-I'm sorry."

"What for, Aibou?" Yami asked gently. He laid his arm out, so Yugi could use it as a pillow. Yugi looked at Yami with his vacant eyes. Yami didn't notice the strange stare Yugi was giving him. Yugi's lips curled into a small smile.

"I'm sorry..... for this!" Yugi suddenly grabbed a dagger from the statue behind him, and held the dagger to Yami's throat. He gulped heavily.

"Die....." Yugi whispered, and slit Yami's throat.

All he felt was immense pain. Blood trickled down his neck, and he suttered for breath. He grasped his neck with both hands, and fell forwards, breathing hard and in sharp gasps. He felt as if all the nerves in his body were on fire. But nothing compared to the feeling of betrayal from someone he cared about...

NO! his mind shouted. IT'S NOT REAL! DON'T BELIEVE IT! But it didn't work. Yami blacked out suddenly, his arms falling limp, his breaths becoming smaller and smaller. He lay on the floor, completely motionless.

Teanna emitted a small scream.

Yugi spun around, bloody dagger still in hand, to see a shaking, scared Teanna, cowering backwards in fear. Yugi's eyes became very sinister, some kind of darkness entering them. Then, his body started to change. Teanna watched in fear and surprise as Yugi's appearence slowly changed. His body lengthened and took a womanly shape; his hair grew longer into a braid; his face changed, his eyes gleamed as they changed, his clothes changed.

In a few seconds, Asenath was standing before Anzu, dressed in Egyptian Priestess atire, still holding the dagger. She walked towards Teanna.

Teanna backed up into the first room, where she had been attached to the wall. As soon as Asenath entered the room, the entire room changed. It lengthened and grew into a large, beautiful room. Torches were in stands all around. Steps led up to a low, long platform. A golden throne was situated at the top. Long, draped windows appeared in the brick walls. Statues lined each doorway. The dark night sky could be seen outside, and soft light lit the ancient room. Teanna blinked, surprised to find herself in a room she hadn't seen in three thousand years.

Asenath had a long, flowing, black cape underneath a golden necklace shaped like a hawk. Her skirt reached the floor and spread in all directions, black as night, and the cloth wrapped around her upper body was black as well. Gold earrings dangled from her ears, reflecting the light. The Sennen Card hung from a cord around her neck, along with a golden ankh on another cord. Her feet were bare. Teanna was dressed the same, only minus the Card and the cape, and her necklace was a simple beaded one.

They were in the Pharaoh's throne room; a sacred place for only high officials, the Pharaoh and his family, and any Holy Officials of Ra. Teanna stepped backwards. She remembered this night. It was the night that Asenath found out her secret.... Why Asenath felt she had betrayed her... Why she thought Teanna was going to kill her brother...

Asenath took a step forward, her eyes narrowed on the girl.

"Did you see?" she said softly. "See how my brother trusted Yugi, like I trusted you? And then he turned on him?" Teanna shivered. She didn't like this. This wasn't the best memory to be having right then.....

"You betrayed me," Asenath said in the same voice.

"It was an a-accident," Teanna stammered. Asenath rolled her eyes.

"Oh, I'm sure it was," she said sarcastically.

"What did I do? Besides, what's the difference whether he's the Pharaoh or not?" Teanna said, slowly thinking of ways to get out of this fix.

"You betrayed the Gods, that's why!" Asenath said, still staring right at Teanna. Teanna's lip quivered. "He just gave you Father's necklace, so the Court wouldn't get mad!" Teanna looked at the floor. She couldn't think of anything to say.

"Asenath...." she started slowly. "I love him. It's not my fault.... I'm sorry." Asenath seemed surprised at her reaction.

"You should have done that when you were in this situation before, my dear," Asenath said. "You know the rules. It was a twist of fate that Zvallah wasn't sacrificed. Not with the way you acted, getting all angry and yelling at me..." Teanna's eyes teared up. But she couldn't cry. Then Asenath would know she'd gotten the better of her...

"Like I said, I didn't mean for it to happen," Anzu explained. "It just.... did."

"My curse.... It didn't work, though," Asenath said. She didn't seem to be paying attention to her apprentice. "I cursed you in case this happened! That way the Gods couldn't punish you! But now... I don't know how, but..." Asenath seemed to stare right through Teanna. Teanna stepped back, nearly tripping over her skirt. Asenath stared right at her, eyes gleaming.

"Now, though.... You know.... You know that they're not dead...." Teanna nodded. "I will awaken them.... Except for.... You're reincarnation, and that boy.... Yes... That will do nicely."

"No!" Teanna cried suddenly. Asenath looked to her.

"Why not?"

"Please.... Don't...." Teanna started. "I don't want Yami... I don't want him to suffer." Asenath smiled evily.

"Well.... How about the Gods finally punish you, dear Teanna," Asenath said. Teanna gasped.

"No... You wouldn't...."

"I would. I will do what I should have done three thousand years ago.... When I first found out..." Asenath's eyes bore into Teanna's. "When I first found out that.... A Priestess.... Was pregnant."

----------------------------------------------------------
