Ok, I'm trying to type this really fast so if there's a lot of typos I'm sorry! ^-^
Here we go!
OH WAIT!
Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh, only mass collections of dvds, cards, books, ect. (basically, I'm a fanatic! Now back to the story!)
(just to refresh you memory, "The blow will be dealt by my hand!" Yami roared. "DARK MAGIC ATTACK!" A great light gathered at the tip of the magician's staff as he pulled it above his head. It came streaking down, the blast poured forth, the amethyst eyed boy directly in it's path.)
Chapter 7
"NO!" she shrieked, slamming herself against the door. "Yami you can't do this! He wasn't involved!"
Keturah threw herself against the wall again, desperation more apparent in every movement. The door was as thick as the bricks used in the pyramids, it was impossible to break open. Defeated, she slid down the wall into a crouch on the floor, remembering their return from the desert…
She had tried to convince Seto to release Yugi as they rode back, but he had refused, saying his orders came from the pharaoh, orders that not even she could overturn. When they had reached the palace, she had been taken directly to the pharaoh's chambers where Yami was under guard by Isis's orders to keep him from doing anything drastic. As soon as the four priests guarding the door had relinquished their spells, he had burst out into the hall proclaiming that he was going to do terrible things to each of the people restraining him. However, at that point he had caught sight of Keturah and all other thought had seemed to cease. In his eyes where before had been an overwhelming anger, there was now a kind of desperate hope, and a need to assure himself that what he was seeing was real, not just an illusion. The guards had drawn back from her fearfully as the pharaoh crossed in two steps and wrapped his arms around her. Neither one had made any sound, she only closed her eyes and wrapped her own arms around him. They stood locked together, emotions filtering from one to the other with an earthshaking speed.
She dismissed the guards and lead Yami back into the chamber as he seemed temporarily incapable of normal actions. Once they were alone he had swept her into a powerful embrace, whispering in her ears, "I'm never letting go again koi."
They stood side by side holding onto one another until a timid knock on the door alerted them to how long they had been standing there.
"Pharaoh-sama[1]?" a guard inquired meekly, "We are waiting for you in the throne room. They are holding the boy there."
With those words the fires of hate and betrayal had sprung to life once again in Yami's eyes. "I will be there momentarily," he returned curtly.
Keturah laid her hand on his shoulder as he made to leave the room. "Yami," she said, "he didn't kidnap me. He couldn't."
He turned to face her. "Have you any proof of that?"
"I have his word," she retorted. "And I believe it."
Yami lowered his eyes for a moment before meeting hers. "You place to much trust in the boy," he told her. "As you have done from the beginning." He turned again to leave.
"If you will not trust his words or my heart, then at least give him another chance."
The pharaoh's crimson eyes flicked back once more. "He has used up all his chances in my eyes," he said, striding into the marble hallway as he turned to face her for the last time.
"If you try to harm him," she warned, warm eyes going dark and cold, "I will have to stand between you."
"I know you would," Yami said, lifting his arms out in front of him. "However you will get no such opportunity."
Keturah darted forward just as he sent a blast of shadow magic out. She was thrown back into the room as the heavy door slammed shut behind him.
(back to present) She buried her head in her arms remembering. She hadn't been fast enough, and now Yugi would pay for it with his life.
Yugi closed his eyes as the stream of magic flew toward him from the magician's staff, bracing himself for the impact.
Seto watched in amazement as the dark energy grew nearer to the boy kneeling on the floor. Just as it was about to make contact, there was a bright flash of white light and before Yugi, appeared another magician. The boy's ka[2].
Yami's eyes widened. "Maha Vailo[3]!" he whispered.
The two magicians were visible for a moment standing motionless before each other before they were engulfed in a blinding orb of regal luminance. Suddenly the light shot out in all directions from the central point where the magicians had stood, with an astounding force.
When the light had faded and they were able to see again, every person in the hall was sprawled on the ground, except for two solitary figures, on standing, and one kneeling.
