Chapter 3- An Unwelcome Memory/Tears of a Forgotten Soul

It was ancient Egypt, thousands of years ago. Runi was running though the halls, lost as to where he was, and where he was going. He looks down at himself, realizing that he was dressed in clothes of that time.

"Don't let him get away!!"

Runi glances back over his shoulder quickly, still running. Guards, the guards of the palace, were chasing him. He did not know what going on, however, he did have a feeling that these guards were after him, that he must keep running. He sees tall, rough door at the end of the hall. When Runi reaches it he, kicks it open, enters and then turns, shutting the door quickly. It might give him more time before the guards entered so that he could think of a solution of this strange predicament.

"Uh...oh." said Runi as he realized that it wasn't another hall he had entered, no, this was the royal hall! This was the area where the Pharaoh resided! If these guards were after him, this would be the end of the road. Whatever he had done, it must have been horrible, or something. Looking up to the throne, he tries to make out the figure that was shrouded in a light haze.

The guards kick open the door to the royal chamber, surprising Runi tremendously. He looks back to see the running up towards him. Either he was too frightened or unable to move, the boy did not know, but in the next few seconds, Runi was held in a strangle hold by the guards, who were tying his hands up around his wrists.

"Did he attempt to hurt you, pharaoh?" asked a rather chunky guard.

"No, Sept, " said the man to whom they were addressing, "He did not. However, that does not make him a trustworthy person."

The pharaoh in the mist stands and walks down from his throne. When he exits the depths of the mist, Runi recognizes him immediately.

He attempts to say Yugi but his mouth did not belong to him... He could think of his own mind, but he could not talk of his own will. Runi also begins to realize that he had no control of his body. Was he seeing though someone else's eyes?

"I do not see why you have sent your guards for me Pharaoh, I have done nothing wrong!"

Shooting him an inquisitive look, the pharaoh blinks, but does not smile. It looked as though he thought the Egyptian before him was going a little insane.

"You have been found committing a murder and also he have been marked as a servant of the dark..."

"What?! But, I haven't done anything! I haven't-"

The pharaoh cut him off, looking quite displeased, no believing that the boy is a liar. "Before you see your punishment, I would like to tell you something very important. Something I should have told you a long time ago."

Runi feels himself blink, apparently the one he was seeing through did not understand what the powerful man meant meant.

"Not all of your family is dead." The pharaoh continues, "I am your blood brother."

The guards holding Runi blink questioningly.

"What?" he heard himself exclaim, "But why have never... WHY? WHY HAVE YOU NEVER-"

"It's true, but unfortunately, I will not have a murder and a server of everything I am fighting, to be my brother."

"I told you! I have not done anything! Why do you not believe me, Pharaoh??"

However, the Pharaoh did not answer him, he instead looked at the guards, "I'm sorry, very ashamed that I would ever have to say this, but... execute Runihura."

Runi felt his eyes grow wide in surprise. Shouting, the one whom he was seeing through struggles to break free of the guards. The last thing Runi heard himself say was, "You are the cruelest! You think you do what ever you want! Why don't you see? Why don't you believe me?? I'LL KILL YOU!! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT I'VE GONE THROUGH!! YOU'LL NEVER WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT I'VE GONE THROUGH!!"

Darkness, suddenly he felt darkness...
