Disclaimer: Nooooo I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh either! Yes I know there's only 7 millennium items, but 3 I added one extra! So there! I needed to add one for the story 3 Anyhow Selene and Anubis are my characters. Don't use them without my permission plllllleeeeeaaaaaasssseeeeeeeee!
Warning: ^^;; I don't watch Yu-Gi-Oh that much anymore, even though I was inspired to write this lovely thing. If I get something wrong, just understand that it's for the story, and also if I say something you really don't get, also tell me, so I can try to fix it and not confuse all you poor peoples. Might be some OOCness for Marik o.o. Ummm, we'll also say Yugi and Seto still have their god cards if they don't. ^^;;
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mokuba hurried through the people to be beside his sisterly figure. He had just bought some supplies for Selene and himself, because he knew today they were going to try to escape. Marik had been letting his guard down some, thinking they were become slightly meeker. Mokuba was now wearing what most boys in Egypt wore, and if anyone thought he was a girl because of his long hair, Selene would usually take them out, teaching them that her 'little brother' was no girl. Mokuba had learned how to keep bullies at bay with the chains as weapons, and Selene kept anyone that tried to harm them at bay with her chains. She had somewhat become even a mother- like figure to Mokuba, more so than a sister, but she always saw him as a little brother, or maybe a son to her.
They had also gained another companion, one that Marik hadn't approved or planned on. Mokuba and Selene had been shopping when they had heard whimpers from an alleyway. While Marik wasn't looking they both snuck down the alleyway to find a hurt jackal. The jackal had been black, and a slightly bony version of the Egyptian statues of jackals. Selene and Mokuba had snuck it into their room in the hotel. After about 2 days he was fattened back up, had been washed, and gentle to Selene and Mokuba. Selene had told Mokuba about old Egyptian gods, that she had once learned from her father. They decided to call the jackal Anubis. Anubis was very loyal to them, which was strange in so short of time, and that it was naturally a wild animal. Anubis slept with Mokuba and Selene, and if Marik came near them in their sleep, he would instantly wake and growl at Marik. Anubis had a fiery feel around him, whenever a man tried to attack Selene now, Anubis would jump in front of her and growl, even bite the man if need. Anubis was very protective over Mokuba, as much as Selene was. Selene and Anubis seemed to be interlinked with one another, as if they both knew what the other was thinking. Marik hated the jackal, and had tried to get rid of him, only meeting teeth and claws in his leg when he did so, so he let Anubis stay.
Selene took Mokuba's hand as he ran up to her, Anubis walked at her side as they walked down the marketplace street, and Marik was ahead of them. Selene looked for a camel seller, that's what they needed, camels. Near the end of town, a man was calling out "Camel's for Sale!" at the top of his lungs. Watching Marik turn to talk to someone, Selene focused on the camel seller, and handed Mokuba some gold in bag and a head veil. Mokuba quickly slid the head veil on, hiding his identity some, and slipped off to the camel salesman.
"Sir? Can I have a camel please?" Mokuba asked the salesman. The man looked at Mokuba, who showed him the bag of gold. "Come young sir." The man said smiling when he saw the bag of money, leading Mokuba over to the camels. Mokuba bought a light colored camel, and handed the man the money as he got on. He was glad for the horseback riding lessons his brother had made him take, as he got onto the animal and it got up to it's full height. The man was counting his money as Mokuba looked over as a black figure came towards him. Selene stopped in front of the camel, with Anubis at her side. She had planted a bundle of firecrackers and a smoke bomb, and had lighted it and slipped away. She began to count as she cut the ropes of the other camels free and watch Marik notice their absence and come towards them. '1...2...3!' Selene yelled in her head, as the bomb went off, filling the area with smoke, and the firecrackers started to go off. Selene jumped onto the camel, behind Mokuba, and took the reins. Kicking the camel in the sides, they took off into the desert, with Anubis ahead, so the camel's footprints would hide his. They didn't know where they were going, but they knew they had to get away.
Marik cursed as the smoke cleared and all the camels had bolted and hidden the escape route of the camel Selene and Mokuba had taken off on. Anubis' paw prints had been lost in the scuttle of all the camel footprints, so Marik couldn't follow that. He cursed but smiled, he knew if they did runaway, they would head for the Valley of the Kings, the millennium item drew Selene towards it, the place of her first resting place 5000 years ago, and the gate of the shadow realm.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
Mokuba leaned against Selene; the hump was big enough for both of them to ride on it. Selene had put the animal into a full gallop, with Anubis leading. Selene and Mokuba didn't know where they were going; it was just Selene's instincts leading them now. Something was drawing Selene north and west, somewhere past the Nile, which was only a few miles from them now. Selene decided they would buy a ferry over the Nile and to the western side.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
It had been a day's ride to the Nile, and they had bought a ticket onto a ferry. On the western side, they headed up the Nile a ways, they had been very lucky with the supplies Mokuba had bought, with a nice warm blanket and all 4 bundled together, they all stayed warm during the freezing cold nights, and some bread and cheese and some meat for food, and a lot of sticks and some matches to make fires at night. They passed through many towns along the Nile, since it was basically the countries only water source. Whenever they needed something they bought it in the various town, since Selene had taken most of the money from Marik before they ran away. Selene decided for some reason that area of Giza would be a good place to stay. It was about the 11th day they had been in Egypt when they reached an area called the Valley of the Kings. Though it was government lands, they had snuck into the area very easily and taken refuge in the cave-like area. Mokuba and Selene had been trying to get the chains off since they had runaway, but the chains wouldn't free. So they had given up over them, and lived with them on.
They had been there about one day when Selene was leaning against the cave wall, in a slight sleep, and Mokuba in her lap, asleep. Selene smiled down at the little boy in her lap and petted and held him close as he slept, absently petting Anubis beside them. The camel, they named Shari, was laid down sleeping as well. A small fire was going and kept everyone warm in the cave as Selene started to drift into an even deeper sleep. Just then Anubis picked up his head and growled deeply, teeth baring, waking Selene out of her sleep, and Mokuba to a slight awake. Two men stood at the entrance of the cave in Egyptian army clothing, and with a walkie-talkie in hand. "Sir, we've found something you might like to see." One of them said into the walkie-talkie. Selene narrowed her eyes at the men, since she had learned never to trust anyone in this country, and held the half awake Mokuba to her bosom, in a protective stance. More men dressed like police appeared at the opening of the cave, and two men in strange blue uniforms appeared. These two stood in front of the rest of the men, and stood out to Selene the most.
Seto and Yugi stood looking at the scene before them. Seto had bought a permit from the Egyptian government and had hired some men from the Egyptian army to search out the Valley of the Kings on the 12th day, hoping that Marik would have kept his brother there somewhere. Since Seto and Yugi had teamed up, Yugi naturally came along with Seto to see if anything was found. They had found this.
A light colored camel slept on a side of the cave, just behind the woman, dressed in a black burka with white head and face veil. She had taken one look at all the men gathering outside of the cave and narrowed her purple eyes at them, in distrust, as she took a defensive stance over the boy dressed in a brown outfit, normal to what young boys and men wore in Egypt. The boy was Mokuba, Seto knew instantly, as Mokuba's sleepy gray eyes blinked and he smiled. "Hi big brother." Mokuba said cheerfully to Seto. The woman, still unknown, looked at Mokuba, and in a soft voice she asked him, "This is your brother?" Mokuba gave the woman a sleepy smile and nodded. The woman looked at Seto with her eyes unnarrowed, and the softness in her purple eyes almost startled Seto. Her arms, which had been around Mokuba, slid away from him, releasing him to go to his brother. Mokuba got up quickly and walked to his brother, who kneeled and both hugged one another happily.
Yugi looked at the woman and the jackal at her side. He felt as if he knew her and the jackal when she said softly, "Are you Yugi?" Her purple eyes turning to look at him. He nodded, as the woman got up, "You are the one Marik kept saying was my brother, is this true?" The woman asked. "I don't know," Yugi, answered the woman truthfully, "I don't even know your name." "I am called Selene." She answered in her soft voice, her hands reaching up and removing the face veil and head veil. Long reddish fuchsia streaks that framed her face flew away from the hiding place under the head veil, as it slid over blonde hair. Both Yugi and Selene had a close resemblance to each other, though Selene was a small bit taller than Yugi. 'About an inch or two shorter than Tae was.' Yugi thought mentally. The two millennium items then began to react to one another. The eyes on both glowed, awakening some memories inside of them of one another, of their sibling relationship. Both nodded when all memories had been received, they both knew that they were brother and sister.
"Selene, you never told me you were Yugi's sister!" Mokuba said from where he was, still in his brother's arms. Selene giggled, "I didn't know until just now." She said back to him smiling. Mokuba thought for a minute and nodded, "Well I know your brother, and he knows my brother, but you don't know my brother, come and meet him!" Mokuba beckoned. Selene walked towards them, the jackal at her side still. She bowed in greeting to Seto, "Hello Mr. Kaiba." She said cheerfully, to make Mokuba happy. "Seto!" Mokuba chimed to Selene. Selene blinked and then gave an apologetic smile, "Sorry, Seto." She corrected. She then turned to Yugi and began to talk to him.
Seto looked at the woman his brother had just made greet him. She was very pretty, though she did share some of Yugi's features. Her face and eyes had a sweetness to them, innocence. Though she had at first given an untrusting look towards them, her eyes had still held that innocent quality. She looked gentle, but she had made it this far and seemed protective over Mokuba, so she must have had some bark and bite to her. He couldn't tell much about her body through the clothes she was wearing, but from her shoulders, she looked to be small and petite. That jackal had also seemed right at her side; even though Seto knew jackals were wild. Mokuba must have thought highly of this girl, she was much to innocent to call a woman, to make her greet him by his first name. Mokuba knew he preferred to be called Mr. Kaiba by people he worked with or didn't know. This seemed like a strange girl indeed.
~+~+~+~+~+~+~
Seto and Yugi had rushed Mokuba and Selene back to the hotel they were staying at. Yugi had to pay a small bit extra since Selene refused to part with Anubis, and demanded he stay with her in the room. Mokuba had surprised Seto by asking Selene to come and sleep in the room with him and Seto, and much to Seto's displeasure, she had agreed. However Yugi saved Seto by telling her gently that Seto probably wouldn't allow the jackal in his room, so that she should sleep in Yugi's room and the two friends could visit each other in the morning. Yugi, Selene, and the jackal disappeared into their room as Mokuba and Seto disappeared into theirs.
Many people would look at this and say it was the ending, and in many cases one would be right. The ending is always with the protagonist winning over or outsmarting the antagonist. Yes, this is so, in a hunky-dory-okay-dokay- world. Such is not in this story so easy. "How could anything bad happen? Selene and Mokuba are with Seto and Yugi and Marik is somewhere totally different right?" You may ask, oh ho, but think about it my friends, does not something bad always seem to happen just when everything seems fine? Does not the past call you to places that you once knew? What is to say that this is no different to Selene, even if she doesn't remember this place in this present lifetime?
