Wings of ruby and amethyst

Chapter 13: Answers

By: Lily Maxwell

~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~

"That stupid excuse for a Pharaoh seems to care more about the boy than the delicate situation at hand." Seto grumbled, and Kris rolled her eyes, turning in a corner to search for Teana, ignoring all along that the others had been by her side, not bothering to voice anything. Meanwhile, Elle thought about how Ryou got stuck in the book in the first place, and Chris wondered how the hell they were going to get out of the book. She had her suppositions, but her trail of thoughts was constantly interrupted by the annoying High Priest that walked beside her. Ellian just seemed zoned out.

"You shouldn't be insulting the pharaoh like that, High Priest." A voice said, and all the wanderers stopped and looked at whom spoke... all but Ellian, who kept walking, towards her chambers. The others, however, just stared at a pair of chocolate orbs and golden locks.

Seto blinked.

"Jono, whoever gave you the permission to address to your superiors like that?" he asked, and said boy, Jono, blinked.

"Hey... It was just a little piece of advice, it's not nice to say bad things about the Pharaoh behind his back." he said, but Seto smirked. Elle wondered why he seemed to act... differently around this boy... this slave...

'Heh. It looks like he can't really say anything 'bout the Pharaoh.' She thought, and looked over at Chris.... and blinked. The girl seemed to be ready to hit the blond at the first chance she got. 'Oh shit...'

Elle knew why. This boy, Jono, looked just like Jou. And well... Chris wasn't in the best of the moods to deal with anything related to Jou at the moment. Actually... she pretty much wanted to kick Jou for trapping them in the book. So, of course, Elle held the taller girl's wrists tightly, earning her a glare and growl. She sweatdropped.

"How's it going with the cook, Jono?" Seto asked, smirk never fading. "You actually manage to let him finish cooking, don't you? You don't start eating everything you see within less than a few millimeters from you? I'm impressed, Jono, really am."

Jono was fuming. He walked forward and stopped when he was inches away from the High Priest, glaring fiercely at him. Seto just calmly stared back at him. Then, he patted Jono's head like he was some nice puppy who had pleased his master. The sense of inferiority made Jono growl, making him look even more like a dog. (A/N: And the authoress can't help but make these little puns... hehehe, she's sorry too ^^;;)

"Where's Teana?" Seto asked, finally crossing his arms over his chest and acting normally, the lack of emotions back. Jono blinked.

"How would I know?" he asked, making Seto himself growl in frustration.

"Jono..." he warned, but the slave held up his hands in a defensive manner.

"I don't know, really!" he said, making Seto sigh. The High Priest pushed Jono aside gently and walked past him, never looking back. Jono 'hmph'ed and looked at the remaining two girls, and finally noticed how the crimson eyed teen was glaring daggers at him. He blinked.

"Ehh... is she okay?" he asked, and Elle sweatdropped again as Chris growled deep in her throat, the blond never noticing. He sure seemed like Jou...

"She is, she's just... uh... well, you know, she's the High Priest's slave and such... And he's being kind of... ehh.. bossy..."

"Bossy?" Jono asked, blinking. Deciding to ignore the term he just shrugged. "Well, he can be a royal pain really... Just stay away from him when he's angry with the Pharaoh. You can be thrown into the Shadow Realm in a matter of seconds..." Jono advised, and Elle blinked, watching the boy's retreating back.

'Shadow Realm?' she thought. 'What in all gods' name...'

"Elle! Chris!!" someone called, and they turned around to meet a waving and panting Yugi.

~^:^:^:^:~ Yugi's POV

Although Elle waited patiently for me to regain my breath, I could feel Chris' glare in my direction. When I recomposed myself, I looked up at them, to see both with equal expressions of curiosity.

"What is it, Yugi?" Elle asked, while Chris patted her foot impatiently on the floor, making a really annoying sound. I looked from one to another before answering.

"The Pharaoh wants me to question Ryou and that other guy from before to see what they were doing in the palace..." I said, and they caught it almost immediately.

"It's the greatest opportunity to find out how in all hells did Kyoushi get stuck here." Chris said, Elle and me nodding mutely.

I didn't know about the girls, but I was very intrigued with the fact of what Ryou was doing there. The fact was that Ryou had disappeared about a week before, and we haven't heard anything about him, and it seemed he was kidnapped or something like it... Of course, Ryou's dad was informed of his disappearance, but hadn't really come back from his business trip to Egypt... it was said that he was too busy with a newfound artifact and that he couldn't just leave his team there. He was often informed of any news though.

Not that there was any.

"So, to go to the dungeons..." Elle suddenly sighed. "Well, to remember that we got here in those darkened corridors... It's pretty damn cold down there." She said, and I totally had to agree with her.

~^:^:^:^:~ Ryou's POV (A/N: *cheers* FINALLY!!)

It sure was cold down there. It was also dark and frightening... What exactly did I do to deserve such fate? I was not supposed to be there, not at all... But it's not like I had chosen to be there. How could I know what would happen when I read the book? And to think what had happened since then...

I sighed, trying to organize my thoughts, all the while ignoring as Bakura walked back and forth in the cell across from mine, mumbling, cursing and grumping in annoyance, often annoying me greatly.

It is not as this wasn't his fault... It indeed was.

"How can he be so cynical?! Does he take me for a fool, or does he simply thinks everyone must have a lower intelligence than the almighty Pharaoh??" he asked himself, and I could nothing but stare helplessly at the cell's ceiling.

Why me...?

"Bakura..." was all I managed to say before we both heard footsteps coming. Bakura and I stared at the corridor and waited for whoever was coming to show up. We were waiting for the Pharaoh's advisors, for his priests or even the Pharaoh himself... but we sure weren't expecting that.

My mood brightened considerably at the sight of my friends.

"Ryou!" my short comrades greeted, running towards my cell, Chris following silently behind. While Yugi's and Elle's expressions could be easily read as surprise and amusement, I surely couldn't read those crimson orbs... Was it curiosity, amusement, or a pure void? Chris was surely one could not easily read. Not even me.

"What... are you three doing here?" I asked, vaguely making out the fact that Bakura, in his cell, had sat on the floor and watched us with mild interest.

"We're here to ask you the same question." Elle said, frowning. "How did you get here, Ryou? Have you been here since you disappeared last week?" she continued, and I blinked.

A week...?

"A week?" I voiced my exact thoughts, and the girl vaguely nodded. "Well... I've... been here for months." I said, and they all gasped. 'What? Did I just say something wrong?' I thought while blinking.

"Months?! That's impossible!" Yugi said, but looking at each one of them, I noticed how Chris seemed deep in thought. Really, it didn't take long for her to open her eyes, which glowed with understanding.

"There's a mild difference in time." She said, and we all looked at her, waiting for her to conclude her idea. "While in our world there's a certain timing, here there's another one. Time goes faster in this world. For example, the time we're here... I wouldn't be surprised if in our world instead of days only hours could have passed." She finished, and slowly we noticed how that made sense.

"One mystery down, two to go... First of all... Ryou, how in the world did you get stuck here?" Elle asked, and I sighed, looking at Yugi and Chris, who too held curious expressions.

"Well... if you're eager to listen to me..."

*Ryou's Story*

I was in the library, trying to read a book since I didn't really feel like staying alone in my house, it just bothered me staying there. The silence there wasn't the same as the one at the library. It was just... disturbing.

There was no one actually around, just a few students here and there, trying to finish papers or just reading a book like I was. Mrs. Ishtar was silently typing something in her computer... when suddenly the doors of the building cracked open with a loud "BANG".

Instantly Mrs. Ishtar looked up to whoever dared entering the silent environment in such a rude and inappropriate manner, along with everyone that was within the place that time. My eyes widened in recognition... Those boys... they had been after me for some time. They seemed to like torturing me, and the fact that they knew how my personal life was, always lonely, managed to give them the advantage to hurt me both physically and mentally.

~^:^~

Bakura seemed to growl that moment, even though not really understanding some of the facts, grasping the one fact that those guys hurt me. I momentarily smiled faintly at him, my eyes softening at his simple act. He probably didn't acknowledge that though, as he kept glaring daggers at the opposite wall to the one he was leaning against, and I took it as a sign for me to continue my story-telling.

~^:^~

I knew that they were searching for me, and as soon as they found me, they would drag me out of the library (since they knew they couldn't do a thing to me there), and have their fun. I just couldn't let that happen... so I stood up and ran further through the bookshelves, to try and find a way to hide until they went away.

Soon I spotted a door with a sign that stated "KEEP OUT", but I didn't care at the moment. I made my way towards the door as quick as possible and shut the door closed just as I entered. The impact of my action made a book fall off of one of the shelves. I placed my ear on the door to try and listen to anyone who heard my supposedly silent escape... I think it was somewhat foolish of me to slam the door shut like that, but there was nothing I could do, I was just somewhat... desperate.

Noticing that there was indeed no one coming my way, I sighed in relief and decided to take in the area I had gotten myself into. I blinked, not really immediately understanding why this area was restricted.

Upon taking a look at some of the books' titles, though, I soon understood that those books were foreign ones... Old foreign ones. French, Chinese, English, Germany... Some in languages I didn't even recognize.

Then the book that fell previously caught my attention, and I carefully picked it up. Almost immediately I noticed that it was an Egyptian book. My father, in the few times that he was home, had taught me how to read the hieroglyphs. And it didn't take me long to understand what the words on the cover meant.

'Angel of Light'. (A/N: Actually, I was going to write this in Egyptian... But couldn't find 'Angel' or 'Light' anywhere... So live with it, let's pretend that was what was written there XD)

~^:^~

I paused a moment to see if the words had any meaning to them. Apparently it did, because each one held a different expression. Yugi showed understanding, while Elle blinked several times, taking a few glances at Yugi before looking at me again. Chris narrowed her eyes, seeming deep in thought, as if the words meant something more to her and made more sense than to the rest of us.

Bakura, across from us, just seemed mild interested, as if I was telling a boring fairy tale, and he wanted it to end already.

~^:^~

I opened the book, and was more than surprised to find that the words... They were more meaningful to me than I had expected. It was like I was reading them in my own language, but it didn't really matter. Because just as I laid my eyes on some of them, a bright light appeared out of nowhere, blinding me, and I lost conscious almost instantly.

When I came to my senses, I didn't know how much time had passed or exactly what had happened. All I knew was that my head hurt, as if I had hit it severely somehow. And in what seemed in a great distance, I could make out voices.

"You'd think he's dead." I heard a male voice said.

"Don't be stupid!! Can't you see that he's still breathing? Wait! Look, he's awake!" a female voice said, and suddenly I was looking at a pair of dark brown eyes and dark gray eyes. I blinked.

"Hm... hello?" I said, trying to understand where exactly those two came from. I sat up, holding my head in the process due to great pain, and looked at their faces. The woman had long black hair, and wore black clothes. The man... was just like me. Long white hair, dark brown eyes... There were some differences here and there, but we could pass as twins.

The lady introduced herself as Kyou and her companion as Bakura. She was really impressed with me, and kept giving me curious glances and looked at me quizzically, but Bakura only looked at me with mild interest.

~^:^~

Bakura humphed. I giggled, and continued.

~^:^~

What impressed me the most was that... I was NOT in the library, or Japan for that matter. Instead... I was in EGYPT. To say I was confused was an understatement... I was completely clueless. And worst of all...

Well... I was not with the best example of citizens. The day after I met Kyou and Bakura, Bakura seemed more than insistent on the fact that I had to leave. Kyou, on the other hand, persisted that I had to be with them, since they were the only ones I knew around. I didn't understand either of them, but decided to play along to whatever they decided. And it was decided that I was to be with them.

And, not a week later, I found out the truth about them. They were tomb robbers. The most dangerous in all Egypt... Wanted by the Pharaoh, guards searching for them in Higher and Lower lands.

By the time I found that out, I was beyond confused. It only occurred to me one thought... That I was trapped in the book. I didn't know why, I didn't know how... I just knew. I wanted to find a way back, but I could do nothing but follow Kyou and Bakura around.

If you ask me about why Kyou wanted me with them, I can easily tell you. Because I found it out soon enough, when they took me to an old tomb. She thought I had "powers". Why she thought I did was beyond me at moment, and it only occurred to me later. Probably when I came into this world, it appeared I had used some kind of... magic. Well, probably if you see a person appearing out of nowhere surrounded by a light it appears magic to you.

I told her I didn't have such powers, but it was too late to argue, because we were already inside the tomb. She was angry... I thought she was going to kill me. Bakura did nothing but watch, it didn't seem like he cared...

When I looked at him to ask for help, though, I saw something that made my eyes go wide. Because the statue he was in front of was nothing more than a trap, and at the moment, the sword it held was preparing to cut off his head. It may sound impossible... But I can assure you there was some magic in that statue. It couldn't simply move like that.

I pushed Kyou aside and pulled Bakura to the ground before the sword could kill him, and the sword ended up hitting a wall, occasionally hitting a switch and opening a new entrance. Kyou and Bakura seemed surprised... Probably such a thing had never happened to them before, or maybe they didn't expect me to save Bakura's life.

All I can tell you is that, after that incident, things changed. Although they knew I didn't have powers, they didn't make me go away. And Bakura didn't simply ignore me like before... Because I saved his life, he said he owned me, and he protects me since then. I guess he'll just go back to hate me when he saves my life and we're equal.

*End of Ryou's story*

Bakura seemed indifferent to my story at the ending, and he just stared at the wall at the back of his cell, making it unable for me to see his face. Somehow, I knew he didn't hate me anymore... But Bakura was unpredictable. As much as it seemed that he liked me, there was something that made me wonder how far that feeling went...

"I stayed with them for months, and I never found a way to go back to our world. However... a few days ago, something happened. Something that wasn't really in either mine or Bakura's plans." I continued, and they all seemed interested.

"Is that maybe the explanation as to why you came to the palace?" Chris asked, and I nodded. It seemed to me that the girl wasn't so clueless about the situation...

"Kyou, who said that invading tombs of dead kings was not "fun" anymore, decided to do something drastic... To steal from the Pharaoh's personal treasures. It seemed to me she had something in special against the Pharaoh... Bakura told me that he once captured her, and that was when they met each other. She decided then to invade the palace and sneak into his treasure room, then get out... But..." I was unable to continue.... As much as I disliked her, this was too much...

"She died. That goddamned Pharaoh killed her!!" Bakura shouted from his spot, face pressed against the bars. Yugi's face suddenly drained of color.

"He did not!! Yami would never do such a thing!" he yelled, surprising all of us. Elle put a hand on his shoulder, and he looked at her, breath coming out in gasps.

"Yugi... As much as you like the Pharaoh, he could as well done something like that... Don't you remember what the book said? 'Many had perished under his orders, and death seemed to be a very often thing that surrounded their lives through the death sentences sent by the cruel pharaoh.'... Pharaoh Yami isn't the best of the people..." she said in an amused tone, but Yugi just stared at the stoned floor.

"It wasn't him... I know it." He replied, seeming sure about what he was saying.

'I wonder... Yugi, what happened to you? And.... what is going on between you and the Pharaoh?' I thought with a smile. Yugi was always protective of his friends, but I had seen him in love before... It could have been just a crush, but at the time, I remembered how he defended her. Nowadays... Well, things changed.

"But... you said that this girl 'Kyou' decided to invade the palace... so she came in alone? If yes, then how do you know she died?" Chris asked, and I looked at Bakura, silent. All of them slowly turned to him too.

"It's because of this!" he said, sensing that we wanted him to explain, while taking out of under his shirt a golden pendant, looking like a dream-catcher. He threw it at the opposite wall he was leaning against, and I gasped, knowing how much he cared for the item. But... it also brought him so much pain that day...

I watched in confusion as all my friends gasped and looked at the golden ring-pendant in surprise.

"Ryou... when did that girl invade the palace?" Elle asked, eyes still wide. I blinked, and Bakura fell deadly silent, glaring at the wall again.

"Hm... 2 nights ago..." I said, and they all looked at me surprised.

"It really wasn't the Pharaoh who killed your friend." Chris said, turning to Bakura, while I blinked. "He and his High Priests found a dead girl in the palace 2 nights ago, with a sword pinning her to a wall through her stomach, and were all wondering who she was and who did that to her." she explained, and I saw Bakura turning his angered glance at her, while I gulped. This wasn't good...

"What kind of sword? And WHAT did that to her? Does he know who killed her yet? It wasn't someone normal... Kyou is not stupid." He said, and Yugi hesitated a little before talking.

"Yami said it was... a Shadow Monster." He said, and I blinked more. This was too confusing...

"A Shadow Monster?! And it WASN'T any of his priests or the Pharaoh who killed her?? Then WHO?!" he yelled, grasping the bars with might.

"I think I know." Chris said, and all eyes turned to her.

~^:^:^:^:~ Kris' POV

While I looked for Teana through the hallways of the palace, I tried to figure out what the Tomb Robber was thinking when he invaded the palace. It is not an impossible task for him, because there was a rumor that he held Shadow Powers... But what exactly was he doing there?

He said that 'It was Yami's fault'. What was his fault? One thing was certain. He wrote that message in Yami's father's tomb... but what for? There was nothing that Yami could have done to make him so angered as to try and invade the palace, to do whatever he was going to do, in bright daylight.

I closed my eyes deep in thought... What could have Yami done to him... It couldn't be because he had once captured him, it was a long time ago, and by the many tombs he robbed since he escaped, I could easily say that he had gotten over it. But...

My eyes suddenly widened open in realization. Didn't Bakura have a girlfriend? Or should I say... he had a partner. A female partner. That boy that was with him wasn't his partner. What was the girl's name...?

... Kyou. Yes... I remember when he escaped the palace, he went off with her, and they both robbed together like a cute psycho couple...

Wait...

Kyou...

......Damn it. How couldn't I have noticed it before?! Kyou was the girl that we found dead a couple of nights ago! I was the one who captured her, I should have remembered her appearance! Long black hair... Gray eyes... It was her...

And then I remembered that she was the one who stole the Rings. Having been born with dark powers, she was able to use it without problems... And if she was with Bakura, then he had the other Ring...

And then, the second one was with...

"Teana..." I whispered, narrowing my eyes. I should inform the Pharaoh once I found her... I had found his murderer.

~^:^:^:^:~ Yugi's POV

"Teana?! The High Priestess' assistant?" Elle asked in disbelief, mirroring my sentiments exactly. But now all I could think was how that was never truer... Teana had the Ring, while Bakura claimed that his friend Kyou had it. Yami also told me that Teana didn't have a special item... So she probably got it not so long ago.

That could only mean she killed Kyou and stole her Ring.

"But... why?" I asked, and they all looked at me. "Why would she kill someone... like that?" I finished, saying everything slowly, as if the words hurt to be spoken. I couldn't image someone so cruel to kill of someone like that and don't feel bad about it...

"I don't know." Chris answered, sighing. But Bakura didn't seem too happy about it...

"I DON'T CARE WHY, SHE MUST DIE!!" he said, rocking back and forth rapidly while holding the bars. Ryou looked at him with an apologetically glance.

"Bakura..." he spoke softly, at the same time Bakura collapsed to the floor, still holding the bars.

"She didn't deserve to die... She screamed so loudly... so... hurt... so... much...." he spoke almost absentmindedly, and Ryou sighed. Meanwhile, Elle and I were about to leave, and Chris just stared at the space.

"Wait! Yugi, do you know how to get out of the book yet?" Ryou asked, and I blinked. I didn't know... and by the clueless look on Elle's face, she didn't know either. Chris, on the other hand, narrowed her eyes thoughtfully, before speaking.

"I do." she said.

"How??" was the chorused reply she got, three pair of eyes staring at her curiously.

"The Angel of Light." She replied, and we all blinked. She sighed, noticing how clueless we were. "The purpose of why we're supposedly here is that the 'Angel of Light' is supposed to melt the Pharaoh's heart, therefore saving all Egypt from darkness. 'The Angel of Light sent by Ra himself...' the book said, so it means that it's not someone from here. Angels don't exist, but we are here, aren't we? So, that means ONE of us must be this 'Angel of Light'." She concluded. I vaguely noticed how Elle's eyes got wider and wider...

"But... who? Which one of us?" I asked almost hesitantly, as if afraid of knowing the answer...

"You." Elle answered, and I blinked. Once. Twice. Before...

"... WHAT?!"

[ To be continued... ]

Lily: ^_^ Ohhh, I liked this chapter!! As much as I got slightly lost when I got in the middle of it (took me a good half an hour to calculate how many nights before did Kyou die...) and it turned out differently then previously planned...

Iris: And it was damn LONG, Lily...

Lily: Yup!! ^_^ And some mysteries are getting solved!! Anyway... please don't forget to review, and I'll post the new chapter soon! Okies? Until then... Jaa ne!
