Chapter 22
The two friends wondered through the forest all morning not really sure where they were going. All they knew was they wanted to get away from Marik's Hunters. After several hours of running/walking they finally stopped in a clearing, at about noon, and sat down on some rotted logs that had fallen across the ground.
Sitara sat with her face in her hands and her expression was sorrowful. Yugi noticed this and scooted closer to her in case she needed a shoulder to cry on. She looked up at his movements and Yugi noticed that tears had already begun to pool in the corners of her eyes. He put a hand on her back in a sign of comfort, but she just closed her eyes and shook her head.
"Let it out, Sitara. It will make you feel better."
She just shook her head once again, drew a shuddering breath, and looked up at the trees. "I can't cry. I'm the heir to the throne. Crying is a sign of weakness and I AM NOT WEAK!! I'm not..." she whispered the last part softly before a sob escaped her. And after that one...the whole dam broke.
Tears started cascading down her cheeks as she cried, "It's all my fault! Just like last time! Why can't I be strong? All I ever do is get in the way of people that are more fit to lead than me! I'm nothing! What good am I if I can't do anything but hurt the ones I love? What good am I...?"
"NO! Don't you dare think that! You are a wonderful person, but just that, A person. Everybody makes mistakes, big and little ones alike. There is nothing you could have done. There was no way you or anybody else could have known that that was going to happen! It's not your fault, Sitara. It was an accident, and you are NOT useless!"
Sitara just continued crying and Yugi let her lean against him and cry while he thought over everything she had just said. "It's all my fault! *Just like last time!*" "What good am I if I can't do anything but hurt the *ones* I love?" From what she had said, there was more to this than just Kero-oshi's death. Something else had to have happened. Yugi doubted that she was talking about her father because there was no way she could be held responsible for that. What did she mean?
When all her tears had been shed, Sitara got up and walked to the other side of the clearing, staring up at the blue sky above. "I'm sorry, Yugi. I don't mean to dump all of this on you. I shouldn't have fallen all to pieces like that. I should have better control of my emotions."
"Sitara..." Yugi did not quite know what to say. "Listen. Everybody has problems and no matter what way you are used to dealing with them, EVERYONE cries at some point. All it is, is pent up emotion asking to be let out from being built up so much. If you don't you'll explode, in a manner of speaking anyways. It has nothing to do with how strong you are. You are a strong person. Seriously, I've never met a girl quite like you."
//Nice speech, aibou.//
/Oh leave me alone./
//I wasn't making fun of you. I was being serious.//
/Oh, um...thank you./
//You're welcome and I think it might have worked.//
Yugi looked over to Sitara who was facing him now. "Thanks," she whispered.
"Well, it's true," he replied. "So what else is going on? You've made it very obvious that Kero-oshi is not the only person you seem to have hurt. Who else do you think you've let down?"
Sitara looked at him with a scared expression, only to turn away before telling him, "You'd only hate me if I told you..."
"Sitara. I could never hate you no matter what you've done. I'm your friend, I wouldn't leave you. Now, tell me what's wrong...please? I just want to help you."
She turned back to look at the trees, "I've sentenced her to death, one way or another."
Yugi was puzzled, "What do you mean? Who?"
"My twin sister, Inara."
"How?"
*~*Flashback*~*
They were running for their lives. Three magical persons, the only ones in the palace. Kero-oshi was in the front leading the twins out of the palace. Sitara was behind Inara as they ran for the doors that were trying to close them inside. They had almost reached them when a hand reached out of the darkness and grabbed Sitara's arm. She yelled out and Inara turned around to go back for her older self-image.
Sitara turned to see who held her. It was a boy her age. His hood had fallen back revealing white-blonde hair and a tanned, scarred face. Inara kicked him in the stomach and he let go. She pushed Sitara through the closing doors then started through herself when the boy's staff became a knife and hit her.
The blade ripped through her clothes and left a deep cut in her side. The young princess fell to the ground and the doors closed...locking her inside where she would either be killed or sent to the dungeon for life.
*~*End Flashback*~*
Yugi was speechless. No wonder Kero-oshi's death had been so hard for her, it brought back memories of her sister.
"You see, it's all my fault my sister was trapped in there with him, just like it was all my fault that Kero-oshi is gone. I panicked, causing me to loose focus so that I do things without thinking of the consequences, hurting those around me. If I was as strong as Inara then I would have known just what to do and we could have all gotten out of there safely."
"Sitara, no one knows the future so you cannot know that you would have made it out. That boy could have just done the same thing to you that he did to her and then you would be the one stuck in there-"
"Or dead."
"and Inara would be the one feeling guilty about what happened to you. You just never know. And if you aren't sure if she even is dead, then we shouldn't be sitting here thinking of the past when there is still a hope for the future. If she is alive we can still save her, but first we need to find the guy behind all of this and beat him at his own game. Now are you going to help me or what?"
Sitara smiled and said, "I'll help you, Yugi. Thanks for helping me get through this."
"No problem."
(a/n- I'm sorry for the low quality of this chapter. I'm writer blocked! That's what I get for switching everything around during my "editing". Sorry.)
Sitara then sat back down on the log and Yugi, once again, sat down beside her. She seemed to be deep in thought and Yugi did not want to interrupt her in case she had an idea of what to do next so he stayed quiet.
Finally, when she did speak again, she said, "Ok, I think I know where we need to go now. I was just thinking about the 'Legend of the Chosen One.' I know there is something we have to get or something else we have to do, but I'm not quite sure what it is... So, we need to go visit the fortune teller, Isis, on top of Vision Mountain. She should be able to help us figure out what to do next. We'll eat something and then head out. Sound good to you?"
"Yeah, sure."
While Sitara got out some rations for the both of them, Yugi listened to the birds singing in the nearby trees. Since he was listening so intently, he was the first one to notice the sound of hooves on the ground, coming towards them. He pointed this out to Sitara and she stood up, listening also.
"It sounds like no more than two horses. I don't think it's reinforcements, but it could be some spies. Come on, let's hide over here in these bushes."
They gathered the food that Sitara had gotten out, wrapped it up very quickly, and hid behind the undergrowth in a place where they could see, without being seen. They did not have long to wait, as only seconds later the two horses came into the clearing at a trot before stopping, looking around.
Sitara let out a sigh beside Yugi and said, "It's ok. Those are our horses." She came out from behind the bushes and "greeted" them.
"How did they find us?" Yugi asked curiously.
"They're very smart. Hello Sauda, hey Alllayna," she said to the both as she rubbed their felt-feeling noses.
The one she called Sauda looked around as if expecting someone else to be there and Sitara said, "He's gone. He fell over the cliff. I'm sorry, Sauda, but he's not here anymore."
Sauda neighed loudly in despair as she reared onto her hind legs, kicking her front ones in the air. It took Sitara several minutes before she could calm the horse down. When it had finally settled, she hugged the horse and gave it one last pat. Then she and Yugi sat back down to eat as the two horses munched on some food Sitara had gotten from one of the packs they had been carrying on their backs.
When they finished, they silently cleaned up and mounted their horses. Sitara had Yugi get on Sauda while she climbed up on her own horse, Allayna. They started off with Yugi holding onto Sauda's reigns as tight as he could, his knuckles white.
Sitara noticed the look of terror on his face and asked, "Is this you're first time of ever riding a horse, Yugi?"
"Y-y-yes!" He was basically hugging the horse's neck now, in addition to the reigns, he was so scared of falling off.
Sitara chuckled and said, "It's ok, Yugi. Sauda won't let you fall off, trust me."
"O-ok." He let go of the horse's neck and tried sitting normally. After a few minutes he got used to the flowing up and down motion and was able to relax.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(A/N- Alrighty now! The majority of you said you wanted me to do the Yami being Yugi thing so...this is how it's going to work. Since the way I had this originally written did not have this in it, Yami will be sane during the chapters but kinda out of it during this part. The funnies will be at the very end. Something like that. I don't even know what I'm saying right now, my brain is not functioning right.)
"OH! SO COOL!! I found all of Yug's candy!" Joey invaded in all of their thoughts. He began to take out handfuls and stuff them in his mouth.
Yami came and stood over him, glaring daggers.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Yami! Did you want some?" Everyone facevaulted as Joey held up the brown candy wrapped in plastic to the 3,000 year old pharaoh.
Yami raised an eyebrow at him, but Joey just waved it in his face saying, "Go on! Have some!" before stuffing it into his mouth before anyone else could stop him.
"NOOOOOO! YOU IDIOT! DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'VE JUST DONE?!!!" Bakura yelled. "YAMI'S AND CHOCOLATE DO *NOT* MIX!"
As if to prove the Tomb Robber right, Yami ran over to Joey, knocked him out of the way and began to eat all of the chocolate he could lay his hands on. Bakura immediately ran over and tried to pull him away from the candy, but Yami would not budge until he had eaten it all.
By that time, Bakura was banging his head against the wall and everybody else was staring at Yami with wide-eyed, surprised expressions. Just then, they all heard something coming from the bathroom across the hall. Yugi's grandfather it seemed had just flushed the toilet.
Yami ran over to see what was going on, but when he reached it the sound had stopped. He looked all around, but could not find the source of the noise. When everybody else came in to see what he was doing, they saw him opening the shower curtains before holding his hand out in front of him for protection.
He frowned and turned to them, once again sticking his hand out at them. Their eyebrows raised at this and Joey asked, "Um...Yami? What are you doing?"
"Whatwasthatnoise?Whatwasthatnoise?Whatwasthatnoise?"
"Um...you mean that sound we heard just a little while ago?"
"Yupyupyupyupyupyupyupyupyup!"
"Ok! We get the idea! I'll show you!"
Bakura once again screamed, "NOOOOOOOOO! YOU IDIOT!!" before Joey flushed the toilet.
They watched as Yami stared at it for a moment before screaming, "AHHHHH!!! It's alive!!" Then he sent the toilet to the Shadow Realm and water began flying everywhere. Yami screamed again and sent the water to the Shadow Realm only for it to be replaced with more water.
Finally Yami ran out of the bathroom and Bakura came in setting everything right again.
A/N- Sorry guys, but I had serious writers block for this chapter. I tried though. I also know that the funny wasn't that funny, but I'm not good at it! Don't get mad at me. My muse is not cooperating with me right at the moment. Hopefully I'll be better for next week. If you have any other ideas for funnies please let me know cuz I seem to have misplaced the list of things I was planning on doing. (It can't be anything having to do with school b/c they are on spring break remember? Otherwise I would have done something very funny)
Neways...you all know what to do. Updates, let me know, leave a review, yadda yadda yadda...I'm going to bed now before I screw up something else.

"Y-y-yes!" He was basically hugging the horse's neck now, in addition to the reigns, he was so scared of falling off.
Sitara chuckled and said, "It's ok, Yugi. Sauda won't let you fall off, trust me."
"O-ok." He let go of the horse's neck and tried sitting normally. After a few minutes he got used to the flowing up and down motion and was able to relax.

(A/N- Alrighty now! The majority of you said you wanted me to do the Yami being Yugi thing so...this is how it's going to work. Since the way I had this originally written did not have this in it, Yami will be sane during the chapters but kinda out of it during this part. The funnies will be at the very end. Something like that. I don't even know what I'm saying right now, my brain is not functioning right.)
"OH! SO COOL!! I found all of Yug's candy!" Joey invaded in all of their thoughts. He began to take out handfuls and stuff them in his mouth.
Yami came and stood over him, glaring daggers.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Yami! Did you want some?" Everyone facevaulted as Joey held up the brown candy wrapped in plastic to the 3,000 year old pharaoh.
Yami raised an eyebrow at him, but Joey just waved it in his face saying, "Go on! Have some!" before stuffing it into his mouth before anyone else could stop him.
"NOOOOOO! YOU IDIOT! DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'VE JUST DONE?!!!" Bakura yelled. "YAMI'S AND CHOCOLATE DO *NOT* MIX!"
As if to prove the Tomb Robber right, Yami ran over to Joey, knocked him out of the way and began to eat all of the chocolate he could lay his hands on. Bakura immediately ran over and tried to pull him away from the candy, but Yami would not budge until he had eaten it all.
By that time, Bakura was banging his head against the wall and everybody else was staring at Yami with wide-eyed, surprised expressions. Just then, they all heard something coming from the bathroom across the hall. Yugi's grandfather it seemed had just flushed the toilet.
Yami ran over to see what was going on, but when he reached it the sound had stopped. He looked all around, but could not find the source of the noise. When everybody else came in to see what he was doing, they saw him opening the shower curtains before holding his hand out in front of him for protection.
He frowned and turned to them, once again sticking his hand out at them. Their eyebrows raised at this and Joey asked, "Um...Yami? What are you doing?"
"Whatwasthatnoise?Whatwasthatnoise?Whatwasthatnoise?"
"Um...you mean that sound we heard just a little while ago?"
"Yupyupyupyupyupyupyupyupyup!"
"Ok! We get the idea! I'll show you!"
Bakura once again screamed, "NOOOOOOOOO! YOU IDIOT!!" before Joey flushed the toilet.
They watched as Yami stared at it for a moment before screaming, "AHHHHH!!! It's alive!!" Then he sent the toilet to the Shadow Realm and water began flying everywhere. Yami screamed again and sent the water to the Shadow Realm only for it to be replaced with more water.
Finally Yami ran out of the bathroom and Bakura came in setting everything right again.
A/N- Sorry guys, but I had serious writers block for this chapter. I tried though. I also know that the funny wasn't that funny, but I'm not good at it! Don't get mad at me. My muse is not cooperating with me right at the moment. Hopefully I'll be better for next week. If you have any other ideas for funnies please let me know cuz I seem to have misplaced the list of things I was planning on doing. (It can't be anything having to do with school b/c they are on spring break remember? Otherwise I would have done something very funny)
Neways...you all know what to do. Updates, let me know, leave a review, yadda yadda yadda...I'm going to bed now before I screw up something else.
