I'm Still Dreaming
Chapter Twelve
Honda's eyes fluttered open. He blinked a couple of times, and then looked around at his surroundings.
"What...." he muttered, then instantly regretted it. His head was pounding heavily, he realized. The worst time to get a headache was right after being poisoned...
"Ohhhh...." he moaned, turning onto his side. The blanket was pulled up to his chin, and he closed his eyes, trying to fall back asleep. While unconscious, he hadn't felt any pain.
"Honda-san?" came a small voice. Honda rolled over to face the doorway. Jonouchi Shizuka was standing in the doorway, wearing a school uniform. It wasn't a uniform from any school in Domino. It was from a much better school then would be found in Domino.... An overnight bag was slung on her shoulder, and her brown hair was partially covering it.
"Shizuka-chan," Honda whispered. Shizuka smiled.
"How are you, Honda-san?" she asked, taking a step into the room. "I'm glad you're awake." Honda decided to screw the headache and sat up slowly. He winced a couple of times, making Shizuka gasp. But then Honda leaned against his pillow and gave a small smile to her.
"Shizuka-chan," he said. "What're you doing here?"
"I'm here to see oniichan," she explained. Her face was tear-streaked; Honda could tell she had been crying a lot lately.
"How is your brother?" Honda asked. Shizuka moved closer to Honda's bedside. She was close enough to speak to him face-to-face.
"I don't know," she said. "I've been here for three days, and I'm leaving this morning. It's still really dark out, though." She motioned to the dark window. Clouds covered what stars were left in the sky. "It snowed last night." Honda nodded and turned back to Shizuka.
Shizuka was looking at Honda's shoulder, which had a bandage on it. Blood was visible through the thick wrappings. Shizuka gently prodded the bandage, and settled her hand on Honda's shoulder. She rubbed it gently, a caring look in her eyes. Honda smiled at her.
"Have you been able to see Jonouchi yet?" he asked. Shizuka shook her head.
"Not yet," she said. She looked Honda in the eye. "How come? Why can't I see him? It's not fair...." Honda shrugged.
"I'm sorry, Shizuka," he said softly. He took her hand in his and held it tightly. "I hope you can see Jonouchi today, before you leave."
"So do I...." º
----------------------------------------------------------
Arya leaned forward, trying to comprehend what she just heard.
"What did you just call me?" she asked, her mouth dropping slightly.
"Your name, miss," the girl said. Arya raised her eyebrows.
"Okay... That ain't my name, but...." She moved back a little more, so she was right against Yugi. Yugi rolled his eyes, then settled them on the girl.
"Who are you?" he asked. The girl bowed her head.
"My name is Helena," she said. "I was sent here by my master. She said that you would be needing of my service. I was about to bring myself here, but Miss Mana summoned me instead." Arya shook her head.
"I didn't do anything, all I did was pick up that charm," Arya countered. She looked down at the charm, then back at Helena. Helena smiled and shook her head, her hair falling to either side of her head.
"No, you did summon me. I would have been unconscious if not." Arya just stared at her.
"Okay," Maho said. "Maybe she did summon you."
"Maho!" Arya hissed. Maho frowned at her.
"I don't know, Arya! Maybe you did, for all we know! Or maybe that charm thingy has some kind of wierd spell on it!" Maho looked at Helena. "But why do you keep calling her 'Mana'?" Helena raised her eyebrows to Maho.
"Because... That's what my master told me to call her..." Helena said slowly. "I know you must be confused, but I'm from a different time then all of you. My master wanted to be sure that you were protected as well as you could be." Yugi and Arya were still confused, but Maho's brain was working on overdrive.
Wait... he thought to himself. Why would she confuse her with... Oh! Maho slapped himself in the forehead.
"I get it," he said. He smiled down at Helena, then looked at Arya. "She thinks you're Mana."
"I know that!" Arya snapped. Maho shook his head.
"No, she thinks that you are her," he said, raising his eyebrows. Arya gave a confused look to her brother, as did Yugi. Suddenly, Arya snapped her fingers.
"Oh!" she exclaimed. "Oh, oh..... I get it."
"I don't..." Yugi started. He turned to look at Helena. "Why are you here, uhhh..... Helena, was it?" Helena's cheeks darkened instantly as she threw herself to the floor again. Yugi's widened in surprise.
"Oh, Pharaoh," she said. "I was sent here to help you."
"Uhh...... Okay?" Yugi said. He definitely didn't know how Yami could have been Pharaoh so long ago..... Yugi moved out from behind Arya, and reached out for Helena's shoulder.
"Don't!" Maho hissed. Both Arya and Yugi glanced up at him. "If you haven't figured it out already, she's some kind of Egyptian person. And she thinks you are the Pharaoh, Yugi. I have the feeling that she may react like any Egyptian girl -- she may freak out if addressed like that by someone whom she claims is a Pharaoh." Yugi withdrew his arm, and looked at the girl.
"Ummm, Helena?" he said gently. "You can sit up now. You don't have to do that, really." Helena raised her upper body, still kneeling. She placed her arms on her thighs, and closed her eyes. Maho stood up straight from where he was leaning against Isis's desk, and put his hands behind his head. Helena turned to him, and opened her mouth.
"Lemme guess," Maho said. "You think that I'm the priest Mahaado, right?" Helena closed her mouth. "I thought as much." He put his arms down and walked forward. He crouched down and picked up the cartouche [1] from the floor. He examined it closely.
"Whoa," he said, his eyes widening. "This thing is real silver. That's so weird."
"Why?" Arya asked.
"Egypt had more acess to gold then silver, especially in the time period this thing was made in."
"What time period, then?" Yugi asked. Helena watched them all with an honored look in her eyes.
"The Golden Age, [2] I'm pretty sure," Maho said, holding the cartouche close to his eyes. He tossed it onto the floor. Helena reached out and picked up the cartouche. She smiled down at it, then closed her fist around it.
"Helena," Arya started in a stiff manner, "Who is your master? Why did he send you?" Helena shook her head.
"Not 'he', Miss Mana," she said, still clutching the cartouche. "She."
" 'She'?" Both Maho and Yugi asked at the same time. Arya looked from one to the other.
How could they be so calm about this? she wondered. This girl thinks I'm her incarnation for God sakes! Arya stared hard at Helena. The girl shrank down, a feeling of incompetence running through her.
"Okay, I don't really care how you got here or who sent you," she said. "All I know is, I'm not the person you think I am. And I don't really appreciate the fact that you are here!" Arya stood up, rage running through her. She hated things like this. She had always hated these types of things: things that couldn't be explained, things that defy logic and common sense. One of the many things she did not have in common with Mana.
Helena looked at the floor, a hurt expression in her eyes. Maho smacked Arya on the back of her head.
"What?" Arya said, glaring angrily at her brother.
"Shut up!" He said, crossing his arms over his chest. "She's not here on her own will!"
"How can you take all this? I don't believe it!" She put her hand out on front of her, blocking Helena's face from her view. "I don't believe any of it! This isn't real!"
"It is real, Arya!" Maho said sternly. He reached out and gently put his hands on her shoulders. She pushed them away, glaring at him. She turned to Yugi quickly.
"You!" she said, pointing. "This is your fault!"
"What?" Yugi asked, surprised. He was just as in awe at Maho's confidence as Arya; he was just used to things that had to do with the past happening. He figured that, after all this, Arya would be more used to it, too. Apparently not.. Arya's lower lip quivered. She turned on her heel to face Maho, her eyes' full of tears.
"I hate this!" she exclaimed. "This is why Mom got sick and died! This is why Dad disappeared! All this nonsense! Just because the gods wanted us to live alone! It's not fair!" She was yelling by now. Her tears had slipped silently down her cheeks without her noticing. For such a happy, caring girl, she definitely had a different side to her personality. Maho gripped her shoulders again.
"Arya!" he exclaimed, looking her in the eye. "I know, okay? I know everything! I know it's not fair! But it's not only you! It's me, too! And Yugi! And everyone!" Arya was breathing hard, sniffling. Maho calmed down slightly. Ever since this whole thing started, tensions had been running high. He wasn't usually so pissed off, but it was hard not to be. And now....
Arya bowed her head in shame. Yugi stared at them, shocked. Had fate divided them as well? Had the gods also sacrificed someone for the benefit of this situation? Yugi looked at the wood planks making up the floor beyond the carpet.
His own father had been sacrificed, so that he could own the Sennen Puzzle and complete it. Anzu's birth father had been killed so her mother would meet Rei and move to Domino; Jonouchi's family split so he could go to Domino High; Malik's and Isis's family was torn apart so they would arrive here; Bakura-kun's sister and mother died, so Bakura was moved here because of his grieving father; so many fates had been decided long ago....
And now Arya and Maho.... Two orphans who only had each other. Helena seemed to not be paying much attention; her eyes were blank and unfocused. She seemed to be in some kind of trance.
Maho was still holding Arya's shoulders. Arya was crying silently now. Maho looked from Arya to Yugi, who was staring at the floor. Helena came back into focus and stood up. She held out her wrist once more, her eyes closed.
"My master, Mistress Sennaniakah, sent me here to help you overcome a great hardship. She says she is trapped, and can't get back. She said that her husband is with her. She told me to tell you three to tell the others that Miss Asenath is innocent, that she was overtaken by a corrupt Item." Helena opened her eyes and looked straight at Maho. "A corrupt being has taken Miss Asenath over. She says you will know what she speaks of, Lord Mahaado. She also said that Mistress Sennaniakah's son is trapped with Asenath in the corrupt Item." Yugi and Arya both stared at Helena as if she were crazy. But Maho understood. He nodded, then picked up the cartouche again.
"This belongs to Zvallah, correct?" he said, holding it out. Helena nodded. "Is that all?"
"Yes. I will return if more is needed of you." She bowed, and then her image flickered. She disappeared. Arya blinked, then shook her head. Yugi just stared.
"What the hell is she talking about?" Arya asked. Maho crossed his arms and looked down at the cartouche in his hand. He turned to look at Arya and Yugi.
"Do you remember, a long time ago, when I had that weird, erm... 'Experience'?" he asked Arya. She nodded slowly. "Yeah, right after Mom died? I think she was talking about that..."
"What?" Yugi asked, confused. Arya turned around to face Yugi. She took a deep breath, then said in an annoyed tone,
"Maho had some kind of 'vision' thingy.... It's what got him interested in the 18th Dynasty and the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. [3]." She rolled her eyes and looked at him. Yugi's mouth hung open slightly. Maho looked at the floor, then shoved his hands into his pockets.
All three of them were surprisingly calm. This had been a very strange morning; they had encountered many strange things in the past few days. And things were getting stranger. According to the 'messenger', Asenath was being controlled by a corrupt Item. And she wasn't alone. Someone else was trapped with her.... All of this, added onto what had already happened.... Maho's head was spinning. The vision.... The one he told Isis about.... When she told him he was someone's reincarnation....
Arya's actions summed up what they were feeling. She fell to her knees suddenly, making a loud thwump sound as she hit the floor. She looked from Maho to Yugi, then....
She screamed. º
----------------------------------------------------------
~The dead lay to rest...~
"Help...."
"Help me!"
"DADDY!"
Yami's eyes opened abruptly. He found himself lying on his back, staring up at the sky. Stars twinkled far above him. He slowly began to realize what was happening. He could feel Teanna's weight on his chest from where her upper body was laying.
Carefully, he slid her to the ground. Her hair went astray everywhere, shimmering in the moonlight. Yami stared around him, trying to understand where he was. As his eyes focused, he noticed a heaving breathing coming from near his body. He couldn't tell where; it wasn't Teanna, though.
~The flesh turn to sand, to dust....~
Finally his eyes focused. He was lying ontop of limestone bricks used for a pathway. He could hear rushing water near him. It was the Nile.
Am I still trapped in that illusion? he thought.
"Ohhhhh..." Startled, Yami looked to his right. Teanna was coming to; she moved her head a little, and her eyes cracked open. She looked around, then sat up slowly, rubbing her eyes.
"Yami?" she said in a hoarse voice. "Wh-what's.... where are we?" Yami sat up farther, trying to focus. He really couldn't tell where they were; he'd never been here before.
~Even gold, even sword, wrapped in the Sheath of Time....~
"You're here!" Yami and Teanna jumped, startled. Teanna emitted a small squeak and clung to Yami's shoulder. He put his arm around her protectively and glared down the darkened path.
"Who are you?" he called. Tiny footsteps were heard echoing off the ground. The form of a young girl materialized in front of them. She was wearing a blue dress that reached her bare feet. A silver chain was around her neck, and a simple silver band was arched on her forehead. It looked like a silver version of Yami's golden crown, except this one was flat, embossed with the Eye of Horus.[4]
Her long, dark hair reached her shoulders, tipped with flashes of red. Her eyes were large, and they were a beautiful sapphire color. She stopped walking when she reached near to them. Yami let go of Teanna slowly, his memory refreshing in his mind. He knew this girl....
"A-Asenath?" he whispered. She folded her arms behind her back and smiled. She ran towards him, and he outstretched his arms. She ran into them, wrapping her arms around his neck. He held her close, cherishing this rare moment. Teanna fixed her skirts and got on her knees, smiling brightly. She pushed her hair over her shoulder, and ran her fingers gently over the braid in the side of it. Mitsukai flowers were embedded into it.
~The deceased Pharaoh's name is lost.~
"Asenath...." he said, looking at her. His eyes flew up and down her body as he fully realized that she was a young girl. She stepped back and shrugged. "You look so young...."
"I look eleven, ne?" she said, looking at her feet. She held up one side of her skirt, brushing her fingers over the beads on the end.
"Why?" Teanna asked, leaning forwards. Asenath dropped her skirt and faced them both.
"When I was eleven, I was captured. Remember, brother?" Yami shook his head slowly.
"I don't remember it myself, but yes, I do know that." Asenath pushed her hair back over her shoulders.
"I was captured by a cult. They called themselves Pedjet [5], and they were trying to their goddess, Meretseger. [6]. They found me, her Earth form. They claimed my body, putting my soul into the Sennen Card Father had given me. Instead of letting our minds come together.... they let the goddess take control of my body, sending me away."
~Time is the battlefield of the souls....~
"They did?" Teanna said, at the same time that Yami said "Pedjet?" Asenath nodded solemnly.
"Yes. My soul stayed the same as it did back then, although my mind progressed. My body, however, did not. And so, I look like this, even though I am still the same age." Yami just stared at her. Teanna's hands were covering her mouth, and she was speechless. Asenath looked at the ground.
Yami looked around. He still didn't know where they were.....
What the- He spun around. In the corner of his eye he had seen some sort of building in the distant night. He squinted, but still couldn't see it well. It rippled like a shadow, looming far away. Almost beckoning him to come. He knew he had seen it before...
No.... It couldn't be.... His eyes widened. Was he seeing what he thought he was seeing? No.... He turned back to face Asenath. There was no way....
Asenath was still staring at the floor, not looking at them. It was shameful for royalty to be outsmarted by servants and peasants. She was smarter then they were, and she was female!
Teanna looked at Asenath, and had to shield her eyes. The sun was rising across the river from them, nearly blinding them.
~We cry out....~
Wait... The rising sun? Weren't they on the banks of the Nile? Then why was the sun right in their face?
Unless....
"Oh, my God," Teanna murmured, and she stood up. She ran past Asenath, closer to the water's edge. She stared across the river. A dim line formed. It was the port of an ancient city; ruins appeared. Yami stood up, and walked to where Teanna was standing. She slid her hand into his and leaned against him, almost clinging to him. The couple stood, staring out at the water. Asenath walked up next to her brother.
~The Song of Battle~
The sun was rising...
~The Song of Friendship~
They all stared, the same thought running through their heads.
...On the opposite shore..... The sun is rising on the opposite shore.... It can't be.....
If the sun was rising opposite of them, then that meant.... They turned around to look at the building far in the distance. Teanna gasped as the truth came to light.
~Guide us....~
The Temple of Osiris was across from them.
....They were on the West Banks of the Nile....
....Imenet[7]....
~To the distant place of souls crossing...[8]~ º
----------------------------------------------------------
Isis-san stared out the window. She leaned against the cool glass, staring out at the falling snow. Her door was open slightly, and she could hear the commotion out in the hall.
A few minutes ago, a girl's voice could be heard arguing with an older woman. Isis closed her eyes. Subconsciously her hand flew to her throat, and she rubbed it slightly. She was so sure it hadn't been an illusion.... Asenath's illusory death[9] was really powerful.... She was sure her throat had been slit....
More yells.
"I don't wanna leave!" The yells were coming closer. The room where Jonouchi lay was just down the hall. The voice sounded like Jonouchi's sister.
"We have to, Shizuka!" An older voice countered. The voice sounded tired and somewhat defeated. "We can't stay longer."
"What if he dies, Mama? What then? I wanna stay!" Loud footsteps as someone ran down the hall. A girl came into Isis's view.
"Shizuka, stop! NOW!" Shizuka stopped running in the doorway of Isis's room. Everyone though she was asleep. Keeping quiet, Isis snuck to the doorway of the room. She opened it a little more, then watched what happened. Shizuka was breathing hard, her arms crossed in front of her. An older woman stopped walking a little ways down the hall.
"Shizuka, please," the woman pleaded. Shizuka seemed defiant. A doctor came out of a room and put his hand on Shizuka's shoulder.
"Miss," he said, "You can't see your brother. I'm sorry." Shizuka backed up, out of the grip of the doctor.
"Shizuka, we have to leave," she said, extending her arm. Shizuka shook her head and stepped back. She turned on her heel and ran down the hall.
"Oniichan!" she yelled, and the doctor ran after her. The woman, whom Isis guessed was Shizuka's mother, stopped, leaning against the wall. She watched her daughter run down the hallway.
Shizuka ran, half blinded by tears. She just wanted to look at him at least...
"Stop!" She felt the doctor's hand on her shoulder. He pressed his hand hard into her shoulder so she stopped. He held her back, even though she fought to get by.
"No!" she yelled, struggling fiercely. The doctor grunted with pain. She had elbowed him in the ribs.
"Ow," he murmured. A nurse came out of a room and grabbed Shizuka's other arm. They held her back fiercely.
"Lemme go!" They pulled her backwards. Her shoes slid on the polished floor. Finally, she lost her footing. She hit the floor with a thud. They pulled her away slowly.
"No! No, oniichan! Please!" Isis closed her eyes and shut the door. She stood in the middle of the room, wearing one of the hospital gowns. She looked at her hands, then brought them to her face. She began sobbing quietly, her tears gently falling through her fingers.
Sob, sob-
Drip, drip, drip.... She fell onto her knees and bent forwards, sobs coming harder now. This was all so screwed up. Not only that, but Malik... Rishid.... Both gone.....
"What have I done?" she whispered. She could hear Shizuka yelling still; her voice was blurred with all the crying both Shizuka and Isis were doing, but Isis could still hear one thing she said.
"ONIICHAAAAAAAAAN!!!"
That one cry.... That one scream.... Blurred with tears and sorrow, pain, frustration, fright..... One thing that Isis will never forget, that one, last, solitary scream that sealed Jonouchi's fate.
"ONIICHAAAAAAAAAN!!!" º
----------------------------------------------------------
Come opened the door slowly. The steady beep.... beep.... from the EKG was all the sound in the room. She flicked on one far light, so a soft glow covered the entire room. Come closed the door and walked towards the bed, leaning forwards.
Anzu lay, unconscious, on a bed with white sheets. An air mask was fastened over her mouth and nose, giving her a steady, clear, air supply. Little wires were poking out of her shirt, connected to the EKG. They were taking her heart beats. A large, white bandage was wrapped around her shoulders, her breasts and her stomach. Little streaks of crimson shone through. One of her hands was bandaged, from where it was cut with broken glass when they broke the door down.
Her skin was deathly pale; her eyes haven't opened for three days....
Come put her palms down on the bed and leaned down, so she was close enough to hear her breathe. Anzu was taking short, hard gasps. Not good. The blood had infected her lungs. Come brushed hair off of Anzu's sweaty brow. She moved her head slightly to the side, and moaned.
"Oh... Anzu...." she whispered. She watched her breathe, watched her fist slowly clench then unclench, over and over again. She lay her head down on the edge of the bed, now on her knees. She closed her eyes, getting drowsy from the steady beeping sound....
"Mazaki," someone said. Come's eyes fluttered open. She looked up at the doorway. A young woman was standing there, half in the room. She had long, long brown hair that reached what looked like her waist. Her blue eyes shone with fear, and her tanned complexion looked shiny, as if she was sweating. She was wearing a down jacket, a kirt protruding from below. Black boots covered her chilly feet.
"May I help you?" Come asked. The girl, who looked about twenty, nodded.
"Yes. I'm here to visit my brother, Honda Hiroto. There was no other doctor's around, so....." She looked right at Come. Come stood up, her face stern.
"Your name, please?"
"Honda Makurayami." Come staggered. That was a pretty long name. Makurayami read Come's face.
"Yeah, it's long. My dad's idea." She looked around the room.
"Pretty."
"Mmmm. Thank you. So.... Do you know where his room is..." Come nodded. She led Makurayami in the right direction, and then watched her run down the hallway.
Pretty girl, she thought to herself. Honda is lucky to have a sister like her. She leaned against the wall. Her eyes traveled from the hall to the room, where Anzu lay, her head turned to one side, hir right hand clenched into a fist. Her breaths were longer now; they weren't short gasps anymore. Her eyes looked more relaxed.
Come smiled. She knew that Anzu would be alright; whoever stabbed her was a mystery, but.... The culprit would soon be found.....
She closed the door quietly. She was about to turn around, when a cold hand clamped over her mouth. Come froze with fear.
Someone..... is behind me.... she thought. She closed her eyes. She was too afraid to do much else. No one else was in the hallway....
"Don't move," a soft, male voice said. "I don't want to hurt you. I need you to come with me. I need your help, Come. You need to find someone for me." Come opened her eyes. Whoever had their hand over her mouth spun her around slowly.
She was face-to-face with an eighteen-year-old boy. Her eyes were locked on his. They had a deep, menacing look to them, which covered up the kindness underneath.
That was before Come saw the dagger in his hand.
A dagger.... With the Sennen Puzzle decorating the jeweled handle.....º

~*Footnotes*~
[1] cartouche: a little thingy that looks like an oval with a little bow on one end. The Pharaoh's names were written in cartouches.
[2] Golden Age: a time period in Ancient Egypt (1539-1075 BC) when EVERYTHING was made of gold. There was lotsa gold back then during that time..... It was also known as the New Kingdom..... around that time anyway...
[3] 18th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt: okay..... the 18th Dynasty was when all the famous peoples lived...... lesse..... Nefertiti, King Tut, Amenhotep II, Queen Hatshepsut, Akhenaten, Thutmosis IV..... its said that Takahashi-sama based Yami after Thutmosis IV, and Ankumanukanon after Amenhotep II..... who are father and son... so.... yeah.
[4] Eye of Horus: a sacred symbol in Egypt. it means "Sun". it looks like the eye symbol on the Sennen Puzzle, with the two tail thingies.... yeah..... anyway.....
[5] Pedjet: means "Enemies" in Ancient Egyptian. the symbol for pedjet, or iunet is a bow, like with a bow and arrow.
[6] Meretseger: the goddess of the Valley of the Kings. Her name means "She who loves silence."
[7] Imenet: the word for "Afterlife". There is more then one word for "afterlife", but this particular one refers to the West Banks of the Nile, which is where the sun sets. The Egyptians thought that the Land of the Dead was on the west banks because Ra was setting the "sun" on people's lives. That's also why there would be a temple to Osiris over there...... dot dot dot...
[8] Poem of the Dead: this is the poem that Priest Seto wrote for the Pharaoh after his death. No, wait.... before his death.... Oh i dont remember..... Isis called it a "Poem to a friend, from a friend...." and kaiba's all like "What?" and then she says "Prayers for the dead" and he spazzes. you know, one of those I-dont-believe-this-shit-but-i-remember-this-thing-she's-talking-about moments.
[9] Illusiory death: this was taken from Inu-Yasha (NOT mine, belongs to Takahashi Rumiko) in one eppie Kikyo gave everyone illusiory death..... Sango thought she was being killed by Kohaku.... Inu thought Kikyo was killing him..... (like in the first eppie^_^) Shippo thought everyone had abandoned him..... Miroku thought his wind tunnel was sucking him in..... you get the idea^_^
