Chapter 7: Dream Connections
I made a promise to you,
That I would never break your heart.
Yet do to circumstances,
I could not hold my part.
Now across the endless distance,
Filled with chasms of pain,
I will return to you,
Never to leave again.
Yami was dreaming, yet it was unlike anything he had experienced before. After spending several thousand years locked within the Millennium puzzle, to all intents and purposes asleep, he had thought, that he would be used to the many forms his dreams would often come in.
Not this. This dreamscape was completely surreal, yet it seemed just as real as the normal world; as if he were not truly dreaming, but on a different level of existence. A separate plane, made up of purple mists that obscured everything from view, and caused any sound he made, to be absorbed so that it made only the faintest whisper in the thick seeming air.
As he gazed dispassionately around him, he heard footsteps to the left, whose sound echoed strangely, and was not absorbed by the all-consuming mist. Slowly, a figure became visible, and then, a second.
The first had long forest green hair, partially pulled up into a bun, and reaching past her waist. She wore a strange sailor type of uniform, in black and garnet with black knee high boots, and she also carried a lavender staff with a red jewel on the top, stylized to look like a key. The aura of age and power she gave off sent a small shiver up his spine.
"I see you've found us then," the first woman said, her garnet eyes looking at him piercingly.
The second smiled softly. She was somewhat smaller than the other, but the aura of power she held - it was one of death and destruction, similar to the way Exodia felt when he first summoned it to defeat Seto Kaiba. She had a similar outfit on to that of the first woman, except it was in purple and black. In one hand, she held a long wickedly pointed glaive that was taller than she herself was.
"We were expecting that someone eventually would get past her barriers enough for this to happen." The second one added, the smile still playing around her lips.
Yami frowned in consideration as he looked at their outfits, and compared them to the one Serena was wearing when he first saw her, and whenever she was in her form as Cosmos. There were some differences of course, but over all, both had the same feel to them.
"You know Serena, don't you" he asked, mentally cursing himself for asking such an inane question. "That is - with the outfits you must have similar powers as her.am I right?"
The time it was the green haired woman who spoke. "To put it simply, yes. I'm sure she has told you something of her past?" At Yami's small nod she continued. "Well, than I won't have to explain to much. I am Sailor Pluto, the senshi of time."
"And I am Sailor Saturn, the sailor senshi of destruction and rebirth," the smaller one spoke up. "The fact that we are here, means that Serena finally has the power as Cosmos to separate us from her soul, without losing all power."
"You're one of the friends that died when she was facing Chaos for the first time? She told me that you had died and couldn't come back."
"It may have been that way at first," Pluto told him. "But over time, her power has grown, and contact with ours has caused her own to take on some the characteristics of ours. She no longer has to have our souls merged to retain the power of Cosmos."
"So why did you bring me to - this place and tell me? Why not Serena herself if you were friends?" Yami asked, curious.
Saturn smiled sadly. "She has lived without us, all alone in space for nearly three hundred years. Her reaction if she was suddenly able to talk to us, and find out that we could come back would probably be.bad."
"She blames herself for what happened to us all those years ago," Pluto cut in. "She thinks it is her fault that we all died, when in reality, we would have gladly died to save her if it was needed - and it was. We had to merge with her in order to make her become Cosmos. The universe needed someone to stop Chaos, and she was the only one who possibly could."
"And so we came to you." Saturn finished. "You have a bond with her. Something of a soul bond. You were meant for each other; can you not feel it?" Yami thought about this and nodded uncertainly. Though certainly nothing like his bond with Yugi - two halves of the same soul - he certainly felt something, and it was hard to describe in any other way than what the petite girl had said.
"My self and Pluto are the ones who contacted you, because it was the easiest for us to reach out to your soul. Your powers are the most similar to ours, thus we could wind you easier than say Venus - the scout of Love." As small smile at that last, as though the thought of this were amusing.
"Your powers are similar to mine?"
Pluto nodded. "You are a spirit.ancient in the terms of your world. You must have something of the power of Time within you to have been able to keep your presence on this world; even sealed within the artifact you call the Millennium puzzle."
Yami turned to Saturn. "And you?" he asked. She did say destruction and rebirth, but his abilities didn't really border on either, and he was curious about the similarities they could have.
"Your name means darkness does it not? We share some of the same nature, you and I. Though not evil, we will do what we must to ensure the reaching of our goals, and the fulfillment of our duties."
As Yami was about to answer, he felt the air suddenly become thinner, and when he looked up, he realized the fog was diminishing visibly.
"You must decide when to tell her what you have learned Pharaoh." Saturn told him, her form already beginning to diminish into shadows along with the mist. Yami's eyes widened in surprise that she should know this about his past life. "The time may not yet be right for us to separate from her. You shall have to choose."
With that, the dream ended, and Yami awoke.
When he returned to consciousness, Yami was at first unsure of where he was. The sky gleamed azure directly above him, and the sun shone in his face. With a rush, the previous night came back to him. He and Serena had been stargazing together, and the last thing he remembered was falling asleep with her already asleep against his shoulder. (A.N. Awww.Isn't that sweet)
The dream too, came back to him. Sailor Saturn and Sailor Pluto - two of Serena's friends whom she thought were dead; the thought making her desperately unhappy. Her last words also came back to him: 'The time may not yet be right for us to separate form her'.
She might be right he decided, still looking up at the sky, unmoving from his prone position on the balcony. If he told Serena right away.well he hated to cause her any greater anguish than she already had. The thought of her deep blue eyes filled with tears struck him, and his spirits sank. Though he rarely saw her smile, he had seen it once, and the happiness that filled them.well he just wanted to be the one to cause them to sparkle, to dance like they had.
Coming back to himself from his daydream, he gave himself a mental slap. 'Now is not the time to be acting like a love struck fool' he scolded himself. 'And though I would not see her upset any longer, I do believe that Saturn was right in that now may not be the correct time to pass on their message to her. Pushing himself to his feet, Yami headed towards the glass door, which was the entrance to Pegasus' office.
A pair of deep brown eyes flickered open, their owner sitting up and gazing around the strange room, a lost look on his face. "What.happened to me?" he whispered. Every single part of his past seemed to be a blank. The only respite from the awful vacantness was a dim memory of sand, and heat, and - his name - Yes, he did know that! A small moment of joy erupted within him, as he realized that his memory was not a completely vacant slate.
His name was Kage. And, he had grown up in.Egypt? Yes, that was the right of it. He had grown up in Egypt, though he still didn't know what he had done, or anything else of his life for that matter.
And just how had he gone from that place of heat and sandstorms to this strange room of glass and other foreign materials? Glass had been a rarity where he had come from, only those of status owning a real amount of it; and the other materials he saw would not even have graced the Pharaoh's palace, so strange were they. Something strange, which was shiny like glass, yet opaque and could be found in many shapes and colors. The piece of furniture he was laying on was covered in what he identified as leather - so much of it! From what he could glean from his vague memories, animals were too important to waste on covering a whole chair or anything similar from it.
He sighed, standing up and walking around the strange room, and marveling at all the strange textures and sights. Walking over to one wall, which looked to be completely made of clear glass, he gazed out and found himself looking down - far down! - At the ground. He stumbled back from the window, and tripped over a footrest, falling onto the floor.
Ra, but he was high up! This room alone wasn't much closer to the ground than many of the pyramids. Pushing himself back to his feet, he returned to the window and gazed out, astonished at the view. On the streets below him many people were walking around, dressed in brightly colored garments, along with strange things which moved much faster along the road, which he vaguely thought might be some sort of cart.
A door opening caused him to quickly look up. Just when he thought he couldn't see anything that surprised him more that day, he saw the person who had walked into the room. It was him! Kage sat down hard on the floor. The person who had just walked into the room looked exactly like him!
Yugi: I wasn't in this chapter! You said I would be in this chapter! ::pouts:: Did you forget about me?
Silver Angel: Of course I didn't forget about you Yugi! I just had a lot of ideas of things to put in this chapter. I wanted to be able to bring one or more of the Senshi back, and I wanted to have Kage wake up-
Yugi: Yes but what about me?! I'm supposed to be one of the main characters! You can't just go off on a tangent about Yami falling in love with Serena and forget about me! For that matter, why can't I be with Serena?
Silver: I am sorry about forgetting about you Yugi, but this chapter was busy enough as it was. I had a lot of writers block at first, and had a hard time writing a few things out, even though I had a lot of great ideas. As to you and Serena, well maybe in my next fic!
Yugi: Well. Do you promise?
Silver: Sure Yugi! Now Tell the nice readers the message I gave to you.
Yugi: Silver-chan has some announcements for her kind reviewers.
To Chibi-chibi: As you can see above, Yugi is rather persistant about a fic matching him and Serena. There is a good chance that I might right other Yu-Gi-Oh/Sailor Moon crossovers, probably trying out some of the different couples. Thanks a bunch for the review!
To Bluefrost: Thank you for all of the great comments you gave. You may not realize it, but they do give me ideas.
To Lady Adako: Yes I am already planning some scenes to do with Battle city, and probably having Serena in it. That goes for anyone else who requested Serena as a duelist. And thank you too for the review!
To ChibiChaos: Thank you sooo much for all of your encouragement. ^_^
To Lilaclight: Malik is the owner of the Millennium Rod, and he also has a Yami. He has a grudge on 'The Pharoah' because his Yami told him it was his fault that his father was killed, when in fact, it was Yami Malik who did the deed. Also, thank you for all of your support. It really helps when you're down in the dumps! ^_^
To Oracle of the Stars: See above explanation for Malik, and thanks for the review!
To SilverSkye: Thank you for the very nice review!
To anonomouse: Thank you very much for the idea of bringing Saturn back! ^_^
To everyone else, thank you as well. I've never gotten this many reviews for a chapter.
::Runs around with a bunch of papers in her hands laughing and giggling:: Reviews Reviews, lalalala! ^_^
