The Beginning of the End
Chapter 3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I sat in the dark room thinking. I didn't know the time but Yugi and Ryou fell asleep about an hour ago. Yugi's body was curled up next to mine, his head on my lap. Although he was sleeping it was obvious that he was having some troubles. His body tossed and turned.
To calm him down I spoke a lullaby to him in my native tongue. The words soothed him to a better sleep and I continued to think about the events that brought us here. ***
I told the others about Rosetta and they agreed to come. So after school we all headed to Rosetta's house. Joey seemed to be telling some story about a class. I can't remember it though. Anyway, Rosetta's house is east of the school while Aibou's was west.
So we arrived at Rosetta's house a little later then planned. Mainly because Joey had to make a pit stop. But we arrived and headed up the stairs. Rosetta comes from a wealthy family. Her father had a huge company until he passed away and her mother runs it now. Her house is really a mansion, a three story at that. We arrived at the top of the stairs.
Now, it was here that I felt something wrong. Each step we took a strange power seemed to come. It felt cold, yet familiar. We reached the door and were about to enter when we noticed it was opened. I walked in first followed by Yugi, and then it was Joey, Tristan, Tea, Ryou, and finally Bakura. I stopped suddenly when I noticed there were no lights on.
"Rosetta?" I called.
Behind me I heard three people fall to the ground. I reached back and grabbed the shoulder of my Aibou. He was shaking like crazy. Before I could ask what was going on someone came behind and knocked me out too. Darkness swirled around me as I fell to the ground. The last memory I had was of Yugi getting hit and also falling.
It was a few hours later that I awoke. The groan that escaped my lips was because of the pain in my head, arms, and legs. I slowly opened my eyes and tried to move. That's when I noticed I couldn't move because I was bounded to a chair. I growled and looked around for any sign of my Hikari or the others.
"I see you're awake." Said a female voice near me. It sounded familiar.
I slowly raised my head. Oh the pain I felt in the process, it was maddening! The eyes that stared into mine were a pair that I didn't expect to see. Those blue eyes that face. A face that used to be so gentle, now it had a lunatic look. Her hairs around her like a black cloak.
"Rosetta!" I yelled both surprise and angrily.
"Well, well, well. Yami is finally awake. I thought that hit killed your for a moment." She said and looked at me. There was a smirk on her face.
"Where's Yugi! And his friends?"
"Relax Pharaoh. Your precious Aibou is safe. So are the others. I only needed four of you."
My mind didn't seem to want to work properly. I heard the words `Pharaoh' and `Aibou' didn't I? How would she know that? No one dose, but my Hikari and his friends.
"Yami, when I first got my bracelet the spirit inside said that you use to be Pharaoh. And she has been calling me Aibou. And since Yugi has an item like mine I would believe that you called him that too."
My head was spinning, bracelet? What bracelet was she talking about? The millennium bracelet? If she did, then that would answer a few questions. But before I could pester any longer the room started to change. Suddenly I was in a dark room. I saw my little Aibou there too.
"Yugi!" I called to him.
He looked over at me and smiled. I was glad to see that he was okay. Looking around I noticed that Ryou and Bakura were also here, but Joey, Tristan, and Tea weren't.
"Rosetta! What's going on?"
"My Yami wants to meet you all. So I brought you to the one place where that can be done."
"Where is here?" Asked Bakura looking around.
"My soul room. What do you think? A little dirty I know but don't worry. You'll get some cleanups soon."
"How long are we going to be here?"
She paused and looked away. Turning she started to walk. The one girl I actually loved was leaving. Before she left though she turned and looked straight at me. Her face was so sad.
"You are here until my Yami can gather all the other items. Don't worry. I'll make sure you're kept safe."
"Items?"
"The seven millennium items. Once we have all seven, then you will be set free."
I was about to ask her another question when she disappeared.
"How long are we going to be here?" Asked Ryou looking around the room.
"Forever."
I looked down sadly. This is where my story starts now. Here I was stuck in Rosetta's soul room until she has all seven items. Until then I sit.
