You know, I think it's about time that I start this chapter. I mean, I've put it off for so long. Baku-kun wanted to take Cali and run away. Then he remembered Cali was a cat and left without her. I have yet to find him. So, Seto can take care of everything. Seto?
SM: *grumble* Do I have to?
YK: Yes.
SM: *sigh* Yami Kori now still doesn't own anything Yu-Gi-Oh except for a poster and a bunch of cards.
YM: *clears throat*
SM: Hey! Bakura ran away and I have protection from ownership in my contract! *waves envelope*
YK: *snatch* *rips open envelope and reads* I didn't write this!
SM: No, but my lawyer did. *snatches back*
YK: Of course, even his MUSE can afford a lawyer. How lovely. Well, *rips up random paper* guess I can't make money off of this then. (Not that I'll get more than five bucks anyway.)
SM: *scoff* Yeah, if that.
YK: *pulls out Pikachu plushy that pikas every time it's squeezed and bashes it over Seto's head*
Plush: PIKA!
SM: . *running* Warning! *bash*
Plush: PIKA!!
SM: Yami Kori *bash* is a dangerous *bash* mind who *bash* loves yaoi! *BASH* HELP!!! *more random bashing*
Plush: pikapikapikaPIKApikapikapikapikapikapikapikapikapikapika *rip* *white fluff flies everywhere*
SM: *on knees* *packing* Take me home! I'll work quietly! No wonder your muse ran away.
YM: *holding plushy in shock* Oh well. *toss* Let's get on with my story. *smiling cutely*
(No plushy/muses have been harmed in the making of this author note.)
(Seto muse for sale. FREE! Goes to my best reviewer.)
(Warning: Death)
A/N: Sorry for the long wait. I was pushing my writer's block out on vacation and it took awhile, you don't know how hard it is to juggle old stories, new stories, friends and family. (Ok maybe you do! dodging glares) Plus I just started High School so I get to mix this in between homework. So be patient with me. Here's chapter 5 of A Pharaoh's Love.
End Flashback Part 1
Ryu felt like a ghost, drifting around the crowded streets of the village, He didn't feel it when he was bumped or pushed in one direction or another. All he felt was shock and annoyance. Shock at the Pharaoh's death, and annoyance that he now feels an angry pang of guilt and sorrow every time he thinks about it.
He leaned against a building and squinted his eyes shut to drown out the sounds around him so he could sort through his thoughts and feelings.
'The Pharaoh is dead, but I don't care about the Pharaoh… do I? And that hag… What had she meant? Find the Ring and you find happiness. I HAVE happiness.. I'm home, my family is with me and we have enough supplies to last for a year or so! But then, why am I so upset about the Pharaoh's disappearance? Maybe…' He shook his head to get rid of that thought. 'No! I don't! He…'
"Help! A fire has started at the Shin Obi Farm! Help!!!"
Ryu sighed as people began rushing around. 'Father had said fires had been popping up out of nowhere recently.' His eyes widened in realization. 'Shin Obi!? That's MY name! Oh no…' He hurriedly followed the townsfolk who were already several minutes ahead of him.
At the farmhouse the fires were out when Ryu got there. They had arrived quickly so nothing had been too damaged, but the whole crowd seemed frozen to the point of keeping Ryu away without trying. Eventually he got tired of being polite so; "MOVE IT!!!" He thought it was creepy how everyone instantly moved aside, looked at him, and started whispering.
"It's the elder Shin Obi boy."
"Should we let him through?"
"I heard he was away for four whole years!"
"Yeah, with the missing Pharaoh no doubt. Look at his clothes!"
"Maybe HE knows what happened!"
"Not right now…"
He nervously pulled at the collar of his blue felt skin shirt as he made his way to the house. Ryu looked away from the whispering crowd to his house. Suddenly a strangled coke forced its way out of his throat. Within three feet of the door lay his father, Jabien. He was mangled from neck to knee and blood was everywhere. A symbol was on his forehead that Ryu could have sworn he had seen before. Like around the Pharaoh's city.
It was a golden eye.
Horrified he hurtled over his father's body and pushed opened the door to find his mother and sister lying in pretty much the same fashion. The ever-glowing eye seemingly burned into their skin. Fearing the worst he searched frantically for his brother, calling out over and over.
"Ruo? Ruo!? Ruo!" Suddenly a hand grabbed his shoulder and he cried out from nerves. Ruo stood behind him with a look of fear on his face and his finger to his lips.
"Shh… Ryu, come with me." They walked out the back door and into a forest where Ruo took him to their hiding spot in a huge oak. Inside he started digging a hole in the ground by the back of the oak and brings out a box. Opening the rusty wooden box he pulled out a pure golden armband. He gave it to Ryu. "This is what I call the Millennium Band of Shin-Obi, because I found it. The guy that attacked us was looking for it. Then our unattended fire caught. I couldn't stop it because that psycho hadn't left until the town came."
"I…"
"Ryu! Listen to me! I want you to take it. Put it in the box of things father wants buried with him. But come back for it! This is my life now. It kept me going while you were gone. Without it I would have fallen long ago. Bury it with father then retrieve it when no one's looking."
"But Ruo, I'm not a Tomb Robber."
"You may have to become one. I can't think of any other plan. And one more thing, DON'T put it on. You can't become attached. I'm gonna miss you." He pulled his older brother into a hug and started to glow. Soon he disappeared into the band.

Two years later the world is in peace. Finally quiet since the pharaoh's mysterious disappearance. The only thing that remained of Pharaoh Yugioh's existence was the broken item of power. The pieces were gathered into a golden box and placed into a tomb and buried. During the year, the priests also started to fall mysteriously as well. They were each buried with an item of power. It is at one of these tombs where we see a dirty young man. He has whitish-purple hair down to mid-back and his skin is extremely tan. He wears a pouch around his waist, which holds his most valuable items. He clutches something in his hand as he climbs out of the tomb. He shook out his hair and gazed silently into the golden Ring he held.
"This is perfect. Now all I have to do is get the others… and then the legend says I'll have to power to do anything. I could bring him… them... back."
"Hey! You! Stop right there!" Ryu's head shot up at the sound of a guard's voices. He turned the other way and ran as fast as he could go. However the guard was fast, and catching up quickly.
"Shitshitshitshitshit! I wish I had an escape route!" All of a sudden he halted… feeling really strange on the inside… He felt the guard grab his arm, but he couldn't move his eyes rolled back into his head and he felt himself pass out.
The guard left an hour later, extremely disturbed. Esp. after watching a boy rob a tomb, and then disappear into the Millennium Ring. After that he got serious mental health and died of a drug overdose because he was not crazy and he thought his symptoms were worsening. Hmm… guess he was kinda crazy after all.
~*~*~
Viola! I finally got this chapter done without the help of a muse! And, let me tell you, it was extremely hard. Too quite without Bakura yelling at me and calling Cali a disease. We're kinda lonely now. And, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but the is only the first part of End Flashback. But I figured it was already too long to deal with as it is. The whole chapter all together would have been my longest one so I decided to split them. Watch out for the next chapter... And please give me lots of support. And one more thing… those birthday specials? I need someone to help me write them. Eventually I'll get Ryou's up… but there are so many more. I'll make it a contest. For Seto's birthday, which was last week. You send in your stories... preferably one-shot, and my friends and me will vote on the best one, and put it in my Birthday Special section. The others will be placed in their own special little section here. Contest runner-ups. Everyone's will be posted, and everyone will have his or her credit for it. And I'll give you cookies for submitting. I'm just really bored so I need knew material. And it would help me if you guys would help. Then everyone else will vote his or her favorites for the runner-ups. Sound fun?
(Blame me not having a muse. I'm a little out of it right now… he hasn't been here to keep me writing… *rocks back and forth huggling a Bakura plushie*)
Cali: *in kitty talk* She's in denial. She keeps muttering on about how he'll be back.
He'll come back for me... he'll come back for me…
Cali: Thanks for reading... now review please.
