Wings of ruby and amethyst
Chapter 7: What shall become of us
By: Lily Maxwell

"Yugi, you shall now become my personal slave."
Those words struck like daggers into my skull, and I sure didn't know how to react. Yami was... trading Elle for me with Ellian? Why? And why exactly me? I didn't understand... and I was really nervous about it.
The news surprised his sister as well, because she widened her eyes and blinked several times, as if trying to comprehend what Yami had just asked for. Elle, in the meantime, was just standing there, beside the Pharaoh, looking barely mad, but I was almost sure I could see the ghost of a smirk on her lips.
'Hmm... what really happened in here?' I asked myself. Yami was looking rather impatient about Ellian's answer, and didn't seem as if he was one to wait.
"So?" he asked. Ellian shook her head, and it seemed to me that she didn't have much of a choice.
"Yeah, right, go on." She shrugged, and smiled apologetically to me, as if trying not to sound as if I was nothing but a possession. "Although..." she narrowed her eyes. "... I really wished I could understand why." She asked, crossing her arms. Yami did the same thing.
"Let's just say I kind of... have some troubles with her." he glared at Elle, who just raised an eyebrow, trying to look as innocent as possible.
Oh.... NOW everything's clear...
"Yugi, get your new clothes with Ellian, then go to my chambers." Yami said, and I nodded quickly. He turned back on his heels, and walked off the room. Elle stiffed a laugh, and I narrowed my eyes. Somehow, this all seemed like a plan of hers...
"What did he mean my new clothes?" I asked Ellian. She looked at me, smiled, then walked away. I waited patiently for her to come back, and when she did, she held clothes with the same crimson color Elle's clothes were, and some other dark blue clothes, like mine's.
"The color of your clothes tells who you belong to. Since you're all personal slaves, it has to be done in order to inform the others you are no ordinary slaves. The black clothes means the High Priest Seto's color, Navy-blue are my colors and Crimson-red are Pharaoh Yami's colors." She explained, and I mouthed an "Oh" musing, nodding my head. I grabbed the clothes she gave me, and went to change in the bathing chambers, while Elle changed in the room.
When we were both done, Ellian smiled down at Elle, and I headed towards the door. When I was just about to go out, Elle called me. I looked back at her, and caught her obvious smirk.
"Good luck, Yug'." She said, and I nodded, not really thinking I needed them at all. Once outside, I heard Ellian asking Elle:
"Now, what exactly happened?"
I sighed. Not that I didn't have the remotely idea of what had happened...
~^:^:^:^:~ Elle's POV
"Now, what exactly happened?" Ellian asked me, and I smirked. Well, I could as well tell her my plan... it was really smart actually. Besides, the Pharaoh did make a mistake when he chose me over Yugi as his slave. There was something inside me that said that Yugi just had to be with Yami.
"Oh, I think I annoyed Yami. I guess he just... didn't like how I executed my duties." I said as innocently as possible, but Ellian seemed to buy it.
"I see..." curving her body to be on my eye level, she narrowed her eyes. "That wouldn't be on purpose, now would it?" she asked, and I sweatdropped.
"Uhh... noooooo, Mistress, of course not." I said, blinking cutely. Ellian giggled and straightened up.
"Right, of course." She then shrugged. "I don't see why it wasn't a good idea though." She smiled, looking at the nothing, more talking to herself than talking with me. I blinked and raised one eyebrow in wonder, that Ellian quickly got it.
"It's just that..." she looked at the ground. "... something tells me that one of you is special. If Yami decided not to be with you, and Chris just doesn't seem to get along with him... then..." she trailed off, but I understood what she meant.
Wait... what were the book's words again? 'But to keep the whole Egypt for coming to a dead end, there was supposed to be only one who could prevent it all. An angel of light sent by the god Ra to melt the Pharaoh's heart.'? Maybe... that had to do with us...
Or at least one of us. We never really got to read what was written further, we were dragged into the book before anything else could be read.
"How do you know?" I asked her. She sighed and sat on her bed. Pulling from her robes a small piece of cloth, I wondered what could be there. She unfolded the piece of cloth, and inside I saw some cards... in blank.
"I have this gift. I can predict the future... Not to see it clearly, or fully, but I can predict some things. Also... I can't predict my own future." She said. I was blinking, and my mind was spinning furiously. I couldn't believe her... no one could predict the future.
'Heh. Good thing to believe, for someone who's inside a book...'
"I... don't understand well..." I told her truthfully, and she sighed. Folding the cards with the cloth again, she placed it back on her robes and smiled.
"Do not worry. You'll understand later... if I'm not mistaken at least."
~^:^:^:^:~ Yugi's POV
I walked through the halls, heading towards Yami's chambers. I didn't know how I would act around him... not for the fact that he was cold, mean, and made me feel uncomfortable... differently, but it was because he was the Pharaoh, for God's sakes!
Although this was my chance to find if he really was that mean and such, I didn't believe I would have to be so close to him... for so long time. I mean, I was supposed to follow him everywhere, do whatever he wished and...
Wait, was I supposed to sleep in the same bed as him??
......... yes, things were going to be complicated.
I was so lost in my thoughts I didn't notice the person standing in my way, and ended up bumping into it. I fell backwards, hitting the ground painfully. With pain written all over my eyes, I looked up to meet two pairs of angry sapphire eyes.
Now, that was a girl I had to fear.
She wore very nice purple and gray clothes and a strange... golden ring hanging from her neck (A/N: Stay calm, don't panic! Everything shall be explained later). She had short brown hair that came down her shoulders, and bright, smart blue eyes, that penetrated into me bringing fear and panic to my spirit.
'Not HER!! She CAN'T be HERE!' I thought desperately, trying hard not to cry.
"Who are you?" she asked in a dangerous tone. "And how dare you bump into me?" I gulped. I sure didn't know what to say... Hey, at least she wasn't who I thought she was!
The ring around her neck glowed, and I could swear I saw the shadow of something behind when we both heard a voice coming from behind me. Her eyes widened, and I slowly turned my head around.
"What is going on here?" the person asked. It was a woman... that shocked me (as everyone else seemed to have the same effect on me). The only difference was the shorter hair, and the plain black eyes... but this woman... she... looked like Chris!
"High Priestess..." the blue-eyed demon said, and the shadow as well as the light coming from the strange ring-thing vanished. The so-called High Priestess narrowed her eyes.
"I really hope, Teana... that you weren't going to summon any of the Shadow Monsters or send this boy to the Shadow Realm, because this young slave is Yami's new pet, as you can see by the clothes." She said, and "Teana" gulped, for the first time taking a second glance at me.
"I-I'm sorry Kris... I-I... assure you I wasn't going to harm the boy." Teana lied, but the High Priestess said nothing. "I apologize, Mistress, if my attitude-"
"Be quiet, Teana." She said. She pointed to a very freaky-eye thing hanging on her neck by a silk rope, like a pendant. It was glowing faintly. "I know what goes on your mind, and I know what you were going to do... now be the good assistant you are and go, before I decide to do something with you." Kris said, and Teana nodded, bowing, then leaving.
Sighing in relief, I stood up, and before I could turn and thank the High Priestess, a voice ran through the environment, the person in question standing where Teana had just been.
"I'm glad you're okay... for today." The voice said, and I looked up at the sight of two ruby orbs burning holes into my very soul.
"P-Pharaoh..." I stuttered, and the woman behind me bowed lowly before him.
"Yami." He said with a heavy sigh. "Please call me Yami..." he said rubbing his temples, and I could barely hear the low gasp from the High Priestess behind me.
Yami walked towards me, and curved his body a little, to be in my eye level. What I saw in his eyes... I never thought I'd see in the eyes of a so-called demon on Earth. I saw sympathy.
"Teana is very dangerous... She was once a slave, but was found to have strange dark powers, so she was changed into the High Priestess assistant, since Kris, the woman behind you, is the only one Teana fears completely." He narrowed his eyes, and I swallowed hard. "Do not come near her again." He said clearly, and I nodded.
He thanked Kris behind me and we both walked away. One thing really intrigued me... and that was those items that Kris, Seto and Teana had. They were different kind of jewelry that glowed (well, I didn't know about Seto's, but I supposed so).
What did they do?
~^:^:^:^:~ Ra's POV
A slave walked silently through the corridors, until she came to a corner. She had her vision semi-blocked by clean sheets, and almost slipped on the floor when she walked into that corner. Looking at the ground, she noticed it was all wet with something, and that was what made it slippery. But her eyes got wide when she noticed what was the liquid...
Blood was everywhere. On the floor, on the walls, on the ceiling... it filled the entire place, making the slave almost lose her senses. Her eyes got the widest possible, and her hands and feet got numb, her voice dead on her throat.
Hanging on the wall, was the body of a beautiful woman. She wore a long black cloak, and black clothes. Her hair was very long, past her waist, and was as black as her clothes itself. Her eyes... were once of a silvery color, but now were a dull gray, lifeless and completely unfocused. She was being held to the wall... by a big sword placed through her stomach, and her whole body was mutilated.
The air had a strange substance floating everywhere, and that very same strange pollen made the slave pass out in not too long, her insides burning and her life at the edge.
It was a work done by the creatures of the Shadows.
*Somewhere*
He hit his hand so hard on the wall, his chuckles hurt like hell, and blood fell from his palm.
"They'll pay..." he muttered. A hand touched his shoulder, and two pairs of chocolate brown eyes met, one warm and one dangerously cold.
"You... must calm down..." the other one said in a sweet voice. He grabbed his shoulders forcefully, and shook the smaller one.
"How can I?! I could hear her screams! She never screamed like that... due of... fear in her whole LIFE! Never!! That... had to do... with our broken link and everything else..." he said in a harsh tone, and the other one sighed. The smaller one touched the side of his face, trying to calm him down.
"I know..." he sighed. "I... know it... but... you... must calm down now..." he said. The other one shook his head, and looked determinate.
"That was the Pharaoh... I know it. And he'll pay. He'll pay dearly." He said, and smirked evilly. The other one sighed again, and hugged him. He was shocked, of course... but said nothing. Or hugged back.
The smaller one knew that what happened was wrong... but the one he was hugging at that very moment wasn't fair or right or anything... he just didn't know which side to pick, and what idea to follow. He just.... went with the flow and followed his heart.
Even though the other one held it so tightly within his grasp it could break at any minute.
