Another Capture
Chapter 10
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I stared at the area where Rosetta once stood. I really hope this new idea of ours will work. As I thought of all possible outcomes, I left the strange area and headed back to the rest of the gang. I arrived to find them in a heated conversation. Ryou stood to next to Bakura at one side, and Pegasus stood next to Akunadin at the other side. Yugi just watched from a distance. It looked like the Hikari's were holding their Yami's back. I walked over to Yugi and stood next to him. The small one smiled up at me and looked back over.
"Explain." I said simply pointing to the quarreling foursome.
"Um.Well.We were talking about Selena and Rosetta. And Bakura brought up the fact about you and Rosetta..."
"Continue"
"Lets see.oh yeah! Akunadin asked about it in more detail and Bakura said something about you that weren't.polite. Akunadin said this 'In the name of the Pharaoh!' and charged after Bakura. The two would have ducked it out right then and there."
"What stopped them?" Even though I knew the answer.
"The Hikari's. Ryou and Pegasus jumped up and grabbed their Yami's from attacking. They have been holding them back and trying to calm them down for awhile now."
"So they were being idiots.. Great. I'll stop them."
Sighing I brushed past Yugi and walked over to the four people in front of me. Ryou was the first to see me. The young British boy looked at me relived and smiled.
"Yami!" He called out happily.
At the sound of his voice, and the call of my name made the others stop fighting. They looked guiltily at me as I walked in between them. I glared at them as I spoke. Everyone knew that an angry pair of Yami's was one thing to fear, and myself really angry is totally another.
"Akunadin, Bakura. I don't know what happened but I only ask for one thing. Will you two stop acting like two year olds and GROW UP!!?" I yelled at them, causing them to winch.
"My Lord, I am truly sorry about the whole incident. We had a disagreement and I only did it in your name. I was trying to defend you!" Akunadin tried to explain.
"I understand you desire to do things in my name, but I wish you wouldn't fight with Bakura."
"Yes sir."
"Hey.we have a problem." Mutter Bakura.
"We do? What?"
"She's back."
Everyone looked at Bakura who was gazing at his ring. It was lightly glowing a color of gold. One of the ends was pointed up and over. As if on cue, Selena appeared in the shadows.
I shivered at the sight of her. The blackness of the shadows covered her lightly. It was obvious that she caught another person. That accursed silver rope was wrapped around her hand. I couldn't see who is was, but I knew it was someone powerful. Selena looked over at me and smiled. I glared back with all the hatred that I could hold. I could hear Yugi running over to me and look at her.
/Who is it now? / His pleading voice asked in my head.
//I'm not sure. She has it hidden. //
/Well, Pegasus is here with Akunadin so that leaves Malik, Isis, and Shadi. /
//Lets hope its not Shadi. //
As it turned out, it wasn't. I watched as Selena pulled on her rope and a figure came into view. I gasped at the sight. It was a young Egyptian woman. She had black hair and brown eyes. She wore a tight fitting white dress and shoes. As she stumbled forward a golden necklace bounced around her neck. It was the Millennium Tauk. Her face and body was covered with cuts and bruises. Poor thing, she must have put up quiet a fight to get away from Selena and Rosetta.
"Look at what I caught." Sneered Selena. "Egyptian Stew, or better yet Isis Ishtar!" With that she pushed Isis at us. The woman fell forward and was caught is Bakura's arms.
"You sick woman!" Spat Bakura. "Isis can't fight you like this. You won, now leave her alone."
Selena laughed at him and turned to stare at me.
"Do you agree with him Yami?" She asked me, a smirk on her face.
"I do, how fair is it to beat up a person that can't fight back?"
"What are you going to do about it? Stop me?" She laughed.
"I will defeat you and rescue all my friends."
"Nice speech." She said sarcastic. "Yet I know I will win. I can promise myself that you wont lay a finger on me."
"And why not?" Challenge Yugi, speaking for the first time. "He will defeat you."
I smiled down at him. He was really brave to stand up to someone like Selena. My proud ness ended when she burst out laughing.
"Such a young fool. I'll tell you why I wont lose. You see, little Yugi, if Yami lays a finger on me he risks the chance to hurt Rosetta. Would he really hurt her?"
"You witch.using your Hikari as a shield." Akunadin glared.
"Its my own decision."
She smirked at us and vanished. I looked at the spot where she once stood then I knelt down to where Isis was. Bakura had gently laid her down when we were talking to Selena. The Egyptian museum owner laid still. Her head rested on Bakura's lap, and he was gently moving some strands of hair from her face. Her Millennium Tauk glowed lightly and she opened her eyes. She gazed up at us and smiled.
"Pharaoh Yami." She said in a horse whisper.
"Isis.are you okay?"
"Yes." she tried to sit up. "It's as I exactly saw it." She groaned and laid back down.
"What do you mean?"
"Well awhile ago I had a prophecy on the matter."
"What did you see?"
"My capture. Also the outcome of this whole ordeal." She stared at me sternly. "I leave this message for you to ponder, my Pharaoh. This shall be the midpoint of your journey. What you do now will decide the fate of us all."
The whole group looked at me strangely. I didn't like the sound of this at all.
"What must I decide?"
"There shall be a point in our journey where you must decide between your heart and your mind."
"When?"
"In due time Pharaoh. In due time."
She smiled at me again before she passed out from exsiccation. I stood and watched as Bakura picked her up. He nodded to me and walked over to the end of the room. He laid her down and the others covered her up. I looked over at Yugi. The little one was worried about the whole matter. I laid a hand on his shoulder and smiled.
"Let us rest, and we will talk in the morning about the matter." I suggested.
He nodded with agreement and we got ready for sleep. As he lay down next to me all I could think about was Isis's warning. I just wish I knew what to do. I rolled over and sighed. In due time, I guess.
