Authors Note: Sorry it took so long for me to update. This time I have no excuse. I'm sorry yet again. Awww...this is so sad. I'm watching the Fairly Odd Parents and Timmy just had his godparents taken away. Nooooooooo! Okay, sorry. I'm being stupid. Here we go. Okay, if I post this on the ninth which I probably won't that would mean that I managed to update two stories, practice piano, and eat four cashew caramel clusters in one day. Those caramel things are good too. Man, now I'm hungry just thinking about it. I think I'll make an enchilada. Be right back........................mmmm, this is good. Okay, back to the story
After the initial rush of adrenalin I had felt upon hearing the news that Ishizu was responsible for my position as well, I began to feel very weak again. I felt light-headed and my knees just collapsed underneath me. I grabbed onto a bench to keep from falling down. I sat down on the bench, hugged my knees to my chest, and began to cry. I couldn't hold back the tears, so I let them flow.
After about ten minutes of this, I finally came to my senses and dried my eyes. "Come on Tiera, crying won't get you anywhere." I scolded myself. I had to find someone who would understand the situation I was in, but no one came to mind. And, of course, they wouldn't. I didn't know anyone in this world today except for Marik and Ishizu and I didn't want to be around either of them right now, for obvious reasons.
So I just sat there. What a pointless thing to do. I sat there and watched people walk by. Many of whom had these strange metal things attached to their wrists. [a/n: this is taking place during the battle city episodes] Some of them looked at me, but it was just a fleeting glance. A few women looked upon me with concern, seeing the cuts and scars all over my body, but none of them said anything.
I was afraid that Ishizu, or worse, Marik, would come and find me, me being out in the open like this, so I dragged myself off the bench and settled behind some bushes. I just waited, and waited until the sun began to set, painting a brilliant picture in the sky. It almost looked like the desert sunsets I knew and loved. I remember when Marik and I would stand at the window at the top of the highest tower and look out at the sunset. He would hold me close to him and whisper in my ear.
But those days were gone. And now I sat here, shaking and shivering, and praying with all my heart and soul that I wouldn't be found.
Just before the last rays of the sun slipped below the horizon, I dragged myself away from the bushes. I would be safer at night from Ishizu, and I wasn't safe from Marik anyway. What I saw would change my life forever.
It was a familiar silhouette, framed against the dying beams of sun. It was him. But it couldn't be him.
"Calm down Tiera, it isn't him." I told myself quietly. "He died thousands of years ago. How can he be here?"
But it looked so much like him. He turned his head slightly. It was him. There was no doubt about it. But what if it wasn't? I didn't want to prance up to some stranger and start talking like he was my long-lost brother. That would be embarrassing. So I stayed put.
He, however didn't. He turned completely around and his eyes scanned the area where I was sitting. He must have sensed someone watching him. His eyes finally landed on me, and widened in surprise. He squinted, as though he couldn't believe what he saw.
"T-tiera?"
It was him. I nodded my head, not having the strength to talk.
"It's me, Yugi*."
"I know." I managed to get out in a raspy whisper.
"Oh my god, what happened to you?" He asked, noticing my cuts and bruises for the first time.
"Marik." Was all I could say.
"He did this to you? I told him to protect you, not try to kill you! He'll pay for this. Nobody does this to my little sister and-"
I laid a hand on his arm to silence him. "Long story." I whispered.
"Well, tell me!" He grabbed my arm and looked at me expectantly.
I shook my head and formed my hand to look like I was holding a pencil and began writing on my hand.
He got the hint and handed me a pen and a notepad that he had in his pocket.
'the first thing you need to do is get me out of here. Ishizu and Marik are both looking for me.'
"Oh...okay. Well, come on."
'I can't walk.' I wrote.
"Okay...well, just try. I'll help you."
So he helped me up and pretty much dragged me to this little building. He dragged me in the door and said hello to this little old man who was looking at him strangely. He dragged me up some stairs and into a bedroom where he set me down on the bed.
'the first thing I want to know is how you're here.' I wrote.
He smiled at me. "After becoming Pharaoh, I discovered that there was a great evil that would someday destroy the entire world. I worked all of my life to destroy that evil, but I knew it would come back someday, so I trapped my soul inside of the Millennium Puzzle in hopes that someday, someone would release me. And someone did." With that said, he somehow seemed to split into two people; himself, and another boy that looked like an exact miniature version of him. "Tiera, this is Yugi, my hikari, or my light. I am the Yami, or the dark. Yugi here is a reincarnation of me." He turned to the smaller boy. "Yugi, this is my sister Tiera. Now, tell us your story."
I sighed and picked up the pen. 'After you became Pharaoh, Marik and I got married.'
My brother clenched his fists.
I went on to explain about our children, how he had sacrificed them, how he had made me immortal. I explained about the eye thing, the rape and the abuse, my escape and how Ishizu had found me. I told him about what Ishizu had told me and everything down to right now.
'and because of his blood-sucking, he can find me no matter where I am. I'm never safe from him.'
My brother looked at me, a shocked expression on his face. "I just can't believe Marik would do that to you."
I shook my head in agreement. I still had trouble believing it was him that did this.
"And Ishizu..."
'she said that everything happens for a reason. Who knows, maybe I'm meant to be here, though I have a lot of trouble believing that.'
The smaller Yugi looked at me, wide-eyed. "Wait, I'm confused. Is this the same Marik that controls the rare hunters?"
They both looked at me.
I nodded.
'he's told me all about these Millennium Items and how he wants your puzzle. I guess he didn't think I'd escape.'
"Yugi! Time for bed!"
Immediately, my brother and the mini-Yugi merged into one again, except this time, it was the smaller boy that remained. "Okay, Grandpa!" He turned to me. "I don't know much about you, but I do know we need to protect you. You can stay here tonight."
I smiled and wrote 'thank you' on the notepad.
"Just stay in here. I'll sleep in the guest room." And he walked out the door and turned off the light.
I sighed and leaned back into the pillows. One thing was for certain, it was not going to be a very restful night for me.
*Okay, yes, that is Yami Yugi there, but I've done a lot of thinking and I realized his name can't be Yami because Ryou has a yami, Marik has a yami, a yami is a thing. So I just decided to name him Yugi. Fair enough, huh? Just go with me here, kay?
Authors Note: Yay! I'm posting this on the ninth! I am cool! Okay, review!! Yahoo! Sorry it took so long but I have been working on another fic and I posted a poem of fictionpress.net so that makes me happy. Anyway people, in your reviews, just tell me how you like the plot of my story. See, I'm kind of confusing myself here and I just wanted to know if you like the way it's going because if you don't, I'll change it. Okay, that's about it and I need to go make some popcorn now.
