Chapter Thirteen: Betrayed by the One I Love
Every one slowly walked out of Ariel's room leaving Ariel and Seto alone, well all except Mokuba who was still holding onto Seto.
"Mokuba come with me." Commanded Sharifa
"No"
"Mokuba go with her I need to talk to Isis alone." The coldness from before was still in his voice
"But big brother I want to stay with you." In shock of how cold his brother was being
"I will be out in a few minutes." The coldness was still there
Seto took Mokuba's hand and led him out of the room and handed him to Sharifa. Seto wasn't surprised at the way his brother was acting considering what had happened. First he had to watch Seto attack Ariel and then collapse. Wakening up moments latter only to start making out with Marik. Lastly and probably the worst of them all was thinking that Ariel had killed Seto. It was a lot for one person to go through even Seto still felt a little weak after losing his soul but he wasn't about to admit it.
Seto gave Mokuba one last hug, reassuring him that he was not mad, and then closed the door. Turning around to talk with Ariel he noticed her back was turned. Seto watched for a few seconds as the breeze coming through the balcony door made her golden hair dance in the moonlight. Even her nightdress was swaying in the breeze as well the nightdress suited her. It was long and white and sleeveless with string that crisscrossed along the middle of her back tying at the top, something like a corset. She looked beautiful.
"You know you are going to have to kill him." Ariel said suddenly her back still turned and the same coldness was in her voice
"Kill who?"
"Gahiji."
"With pleasure."
"Well at least it is not a problem, but it is not going to be easy."
"You don't have to tell me twice, last time was hard enough."
"All you did was push him out a window." She sounded kind of irritated but Seto couldn't figure out why.
"Yeah well you try getting a guy almost three times your size out a window it is not an easy thing."
"You managed it didn't you." Now Ariel sounded really irritated
"Okay something is pissing you off and I want to know what it is so out with it!"
"Nothing."
"I won't take that for an answer Isis now tell me!" They was he was talking you would think he was talking to Joey
"Fine! I want to kill him but I can't. This stupid ring prevents me from doing so. Besides it is Pharaoh Yami who must deal with him." Her voice was terribly cold. Seto also noticed her Necklace was glowing slightly
"And who would that be, Marik?"
"Yes!" Tears streamed down her face and she was shaking with anger. The tears were of anger and frustration that had been building up inside Ariel from the moment she had been kidnapped.
Tea's Room
Yami waited until the glow faded from Tea's Bracelet before he said anything. They had been sitting on her bed talking when the charm of the Necklace started glowing indicating that Ariel need to speck with Tea. When the glow faded Tea opened her eyes.
"So what did Isis want?"
"She wanted me to inform you that you must be the one to deal with Marik no one else can. She said she had a vision that if you didn't defeat Marik that all hope would be lost because your defeat would mean your." Tea paused she did want to say the next word, but she continued, "It would mean your death." Tea's head hung the words hurt her, she did want to lose Yami again.
"Nefertiti it will be alright, you'll see." "I hope so for your sake and the worlds."
"Once this is over I am going to force Bakura to remove that ring from hand."
Outside in the hallway
Every one else was waiting out in the hallway for Seto, Ariel, Yami and Tea to finish talking, which none of them believe they were actually doing. Mokuba was sitting in a corner next to Sharifa waiting impatiently for Seto to come out. Mai and Joey were, well we are talking about Mai and Joey so just guess. Tristan and Serenity were just sitting against one of the columns with each other and Shadi and Ishizu were talking.
It was never a surprise to see the two of them talking because that was all they did. Every one knew they liked each other but they sure had a funny way of showing it. However Shadi did something that was totally out of character. Ishizu had been explaining to him what had happened to the girls and had momentarily stopped to think. Then out of nowhere Shadi reached over grabbed Ishizu around the waist, pulled her close to him and kissed her! (Alexia: Can some one say FINALLY)
"Okay now that is just weird." Tristan said simply
"I know those to always seem so serious especially Shadi." Serenity just shrugged, leaned against Tristan and closed her eyes
"One thing I don't understand" Sharifa was completely ignoring Shadi and Ishizu, "is why the spell didn't finish."
"What do you mean didn't finish?" Serenity asked opening her eyes again
"The spell should not have ended with the kiss. The spell is also suppose to show each couple the time they first admitted their love to each other, the very first time that is."
"Very first?" Asked Tristan
"If you haven't noticed all of you have been couples since the time of the Pharaohs more then 5,000 years ago. The gods could sense that a very powerful evil was drawing closer and if something wasn't done the world would be destroyed. So the gods chose ten mortals to bestow with great powers. Six would have the powers of the Millennium Items. Three would have the power of combat and one would have the power of knowledge.
The god's didn't stop there though they chose four of the ten to have ultimate powers. The powers they gave them were powers of the gods. Ra chose one to be the most powerful, one that would lead them all. Ra chose the next Pharaoh as the leader placing some of his own powers into the Pharaoh.
Next Hathor chose a young girl to be the protector of the Pharaoh and to watch over the other holders of the Items. Hathor chose a young servant girl who would one day be Queen. Isis chose next, she chose a young girl who showed powers of a sorceress. The girl would one day wield the power of the Necklace. Isis increased the young girls strength but Isis also went further then that. Into the young girl she placed her essence making the girl half goddess and a very strong sorceress.
Lastly the god Set chose and he chose a young boy that would one day be the High Priest. Although this young boy was on the side of good Set still bestowed his powers of chaos and destruction. They boy would grow up on the side of good but would always be rather cold hearted and distant. Sadly if anything pushed him over the edge he would turn on a dime and turn against the Pharaoh and his followers.
So you see you were all meant to be together always in every life because you are the chosen ones. Chosen to protect the world from evil."
"Yeah what ever you say lady." Said Joey although joking
"Tarik it is true and you know it." Ishizu said sharply
"Hey what is that light?" asked Mai
"What light?" asked Serenity
"Those light." Mokuba pointed to both doors
"Like I said the Remembrance spell wasn't finished."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Tea and Yami shielded their eyes from the blinding white light that seemed to come from the middle of the room. As the light grew stronger they felt themselves leave the softness of the bed and found themselves instead on a stone bench. The light faded reveling that the bench was in a very secluded part of one of the palaces many gardens. They were also surprised to find that their bodies were translucent.
Across from Yami and Tea was another bench where another Tea was sitting as if waiting for someone. This other Tea was reading a note in her hand over and over again.
"Nefertiti do you know what is going on." Yami asked
"It looks like it is a glimpse of my past life, but that can't be because the charm of the Necklace is not glowing."
"Then maybe this is a continuation of that spell that was used on us."
"Maybe. Well I guess all we can do is watch and wait because it is obvious that we can not be seen nor heard."
Both became silent when they heard the bushes next to them rustled. Nefertiti looked up from the letter she was reading with a smile on her face. But when a young man with long white hair walked into the clearing the smile faded a little.
"Bakura what are you doing here?"
"I saw you walking in the garden and thought I would join you. I didn't realize this place was so big or that it had some many hidden areas."
"I come here sometimes to think."
"I just don't understand why you would want to be alone on your birthday."
"It is only my fifteenth birthday it not like it is a big deal."
"Well of course it is. Fifteen is the age when most girls are married."
Nefertiti simply laughed thinking that Bakura was teasing her
"Oh yes I almost forgot. Let me see you are only the second person to say that today. My mother gave me this big speech about turning fifteen and how I should now focus on finding a suitable husband." Her words were so sarcastic
"You're funny you know that."
"Why am I so funny?"
"Because you can't see what is right in front of you."
"And what would that be? Stop teasing and tell me."
"I am not teasing and I have a birthday present for you."
Bakura walked over to Nefertiti who was still sitting on the bench. Bakura reached into a pouch that was hanging around his waist pulling something out of it but Nefertiti couldn't see what. Bakura knelt down if front of Nefertiti who still thought he was joking around.
"What in Ra's name does he think he is doing?" Yami wasn't happy
"Shhhh" was all Tea said
"Bakura what are you doing? You are acting really funny." Nefertiti was trying not to laugh at him
Bakura took Nefertiti's left hand in his
"We have been best friends for years but it is now time to move past that."
"What do you mean move past that?" Nefertiti realized that he wasn't joking
"Will you be my wife?"
"WHAT?!?" Nefertiti's eyes were wide with shock as Bakura slipped a simple gold ring on her ring finger
"I know it is not much but it is all I could afford."
"Bakura I, I." she was lost for words
"I know this is kind of a surprise, but what do you say?"
"Bakura I..." Nefertiti took a deep breath, "I can't." she removed the ring from her finger and handed placed it back in Bakura's hand
"Why?" Bakura sounded hurt
"Because I don't love you. Yes you are one of my best friends but I just don't love you." Nefertiti couldn't even look at Bakura
"Let me guess you still have this naïve dream that you are going to marry Prince Yami." Bakura voice was harsh and cold, "You're a servant Nefertiti you could never marry him!"
"He'll be Pharaoh soon so he can change the law so that he can marry anyone he wants!" Nefertiti was now on her feet
"You've made a very big mistake today Nefertiti." Bakura walked away then stopped and turned slightly, "You will be mine Nefertiti make no mistake about that." Bakura left Nefertiti stunned as he walked back through the trees.
Nefertiti just stood there her eyes closed and taking very deep breaths. She was very shaken, never had she heard a voice so cold and harsh that it gripped every fibber of her being. Slowly Nefertiti lowered herself back down onto the bench; her hands clenched the front of the bench and her head was hung. A twig cracked causing her head to shoot up her eyes wide with fear thinking that it was Bakura returning. Thankfully it was not Bakura it was Prince Yami.
As Yami came into the clearing he saw Nefertiti sitting gripping the bench fear in her eyes and a pale face.
"Nefertiti are you alright?" Yami rushed to her side but something shinning caught his eye. Bending down Yami picked up the simple gold ring that had been on Nefertiti's finger only a moment ago. Apparently Bakura had dropped it.
"Nefertiti what is this?"
Nefertiti took a deep breath and then explained what had happened between her and Bakura.
"So then I told him that yes he was my friend but that I didn't love him that I love someone else. He walked away but stopped and told me that I had made a mistake in turning him down. He said that I would be his some day. His voice it was so cold and harsh that it gripped me sending shivers down my spine."
"So you told him you love someone else, who?"
"It doesn't matter it could never work out." Nefertiti didn't look at Yami when she said this instead she looked straight ahead.
Yami laughed a little
"I will find away to make it work."
Nefertiti looked at him with a shocked yet happy look on her face. Yami simply smiled and kissed her. Nefertiti returned it but the pulled back "Your father will never allow it."
"Do you think I care what my father will say?"
"But." Yami cut her off by pulling her into another kiss, this time she didn't break it
Standing behind a tree watching was Bakura who had never left. Bakura had seen the Prince walking towards the clearing and thought he would stay and watch. It took every ounce of strength Bakura had not to run over and kill Prince Yami.
"You will pay for this Prince Yami." Bakura whispered, "I will have Nefertiti and you shall feel my wrath." With that Bakura walked back to the palace
The same bright light filled the clearing and once again Yami and Tea found themselves in Tea's bedroom.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ariel's room
As the blinding light faded Seto and Ariel lowered their arms to find themselves in a very different room with translucent bodies. Looking around Ariel recognized the room, it was hers, or at least it was Isis' room.
"Would you mind not do this now?" Seto wasn't pleased
"Stop what? I didn't do anything."
"Your Necklace, every time it glows all these funny things happen
"My Necklace didn't do this."
"Then who did?"
"How am I supposed to know?"
Seto decided to survey the room. He was surprised to find another Ariel pacing the room reading some sort of book.
"If you're here then who is that?"
"If I had to guess I would have to say that it is Isis."
"Wha." Seto was cut off by a knock on the door
"Come in! It is open!" Yelled Isis "Hello Isis." Said a very cheerful Marik
"What the hell is he doing here?" said Seto even more displeased
"This is before he became evil. Now be quite."
"Hello Marik, how are you?" asked Isis
"Just fine. I missed you yesterday."
"I am sorry I had to tend to quite a few things."
"I understand."
"Did you have a nice time with you sister?" Isis sat down on her bed and Marik joined her
"Yes. She showed me where the Tomb Keepers live." Marik sounded sad instead of happy
"Marik you should be happy. What is wrong?"
"Its just I don't want to spend the rest of my life in the dark never being able to see the light or smell the fresh air again."
"Well I have good news for you."
"What would that be?"
"Pharaoh Yami has grated me permission to visit you."
"That is interesting because I talked to Pharaoh Yami as well and he gave me permission for something as well."
"What is that?"
"There is only one person in this whole world that could ever bring light to me in the Tombs of the Pharaohs and I intend to make her my wife."
"You have met someone how nice."
"Actually I haven't. I have known her for a long time." Marik got down on his knees and took Isis' hand "You are that women Isis."
"Marik I."
"Isis I have loved you for so long say you'll be my wife."
"Marik I." Isis tried again but Marik cut her off once again
"Pharaoh Yami said that because you are the Sorceress you would be allowed to come out of the Tombs and perform your duties. Although you are to remain in the palace at all times. But you will be able to see the sun and the stars and we will be together."
"Marik I can't marry you." Isis refused to look Marik in the face
"Why not? I thought you loved me?"
"I do love you Marik but not like that."
"What do you mean? What other love could there be?"
"The love between brother and sister. Marik that is the only love I have ever felt for you, you are the brother I never had. I have never had any other feeling for you."
Marik could not say anything back he just stayed there on one knee still holding her hand. Isis could feel him shaking with anger and knew she had hurt him terribly. Isis may have hurt him but she could not lie to him nor could she deny what her heart truly felt. Finally Marik broke the silence.
"There is some one else, isn't there?"
"Yes." Isis whispered so low that Marik almost missed it
"I knew it." An even angrier Marik stood up
"Marik please don't be angry."
"I hope you will be happy with whoever it is. Although I have a fairly good idea of who you say you love." His voice was full of hurt and bitterness
Turning from Isis Marik walked to the door and opened it. He was about to walk out when he paused.
"Refusing to marry me was a big mistake Isis. I will have you for my wife, if not in this life then in the next. Make no mistake I will find you wherever you are and make you mine." With that Marik left the room.
Marik left Isis crying in her room, but for some reason he didn't care instead he felt she deserved it. As Marik walked down the hall he passed the High Priest Seto and shot him a look of pure hatred. Marik knew that it was Seto who Isis was in love with he had seen the way she had looked at him and the way Seto had looked at her. Seto who had been heading back to his room before dinner ignored Marik who he had never liked in the first place. Seto knew that Marik had feelings for Isis, which made Seto watch him closely. Brushing the thought of Marik to the back of his mind Seto continued to his room. He was just about to open the door to his room when he saw that Isis' door was open. Walking across the hall he could hear a faint noise coming from her room, as he got closer Seto realized Isis was crying. This concerned Seto greatly considering he had never known Isis to cry or show any such emotion. Pushing the door open Seto slowly entered her room.
"Isis?"
Isis looked up crystal tears still streaming down her face. Meeting Seto's eyes she quickly stood up and turned away from him.
"Please go away." She didn't want him to see her crying.
Seto however didn't leave he knew that whatever had hurt Isis enough to make her cry had been caused by Marik. Seto was going to find out exactly what Marik had done to her.
"Isis what did Marik do to you." Isis looked at him in surprise "I saw him walk down the hall so I knew he had been to see you. Now tell me what did he do to you."
Slowly and between sobs Isis told Seto what had happened between her and Marik. The whole time she was telling the story she never turned to face him, but Isis knew that Seto was standing right beside her. Seto noticed her left hand was holding tightly to something.
"So he told me that he would find me wherever I was and make me his. All because I told him I couldn't marry him because I don't love him like that and the fact that I love someone else. I know I hurt him but it couldn't have been enough to do that."
"Pharaoh Yami will make sure that he can never hurt you. You know that he will be kept down in the Tombs of the Pharaohs for the rest of his life." Isis nodded "Now tell me who is this other person?"
When Isis didn't say anything Seto turned her around to face him, but she kept he head down.
"Isis who is it?"
"The person is, is you." Isis still didn't look at him
Seto brushed the tears off Isis' face, placed his hand under her chin and lifted her head up so that she was looking him in the eyes.
"I have a little secret to tell you. I love you too."
With that Seto drew Isis into a passionate kiss. Opening her left hand he found what she had been holding onto, it was a ring from Marik. Taking it out of her hand Seto threw it across the room.
Marik had been almost to the grand staircase when he realized that he had left his cape back in Isis' room so he turned around to get it. When he reached the Isis' door he found it was still partly opened, Seto hand never fully closed it. Marik also heard no sound of crying coming from her room and figured she must have left. More then likely she had taking the back stairs to avoid running into him.
Marik quietly pushed the door opened and walked over to her bed where his cape was. Marik picked up his cape and turned to leave when his eyes caught a glimpse of something across the room. Looking back Marik realized that it was Isis in the arms of the one man that he had ever truly hated, High Priest Seto. Something glittering on the floor also caught his attention, it was the ring he had given Isis and it was now lying on the floor like a piece of trash. The two sights filled him with even more hate, bitterness and jealousy and all Marik could think was that he wanted Seto dead.
Running from Isis' room Marik made his way as fast as he could from the palace to the stables. After quickly getting his horse ready Marik rode swiftly out of the Royal City and into the desert. Eyes that had once been soft and kind were cold and full of evil, which had consumed him once again. Not sense the age of twelve had this evil been alive in him, Isis had been there to subdue it, but now there was nothing to hold it back. Isis who was now so happy had no idea that it had been unleashed once more.
The intense light flashed once more, Seto and Ariel found themselves back in the Pharaoh's room. With out even looking at Seto Ariel ran out of the room.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The door's from the Pharaoh's room and the Sorceress room burst open as Tea and Ariel came running out followed by a confused looking Seto and a serious looking Yami.
"Sharifa!"
"Yes Lady Isis?"
"I have an idea." Ariel paused for a moment to compose herself, "The banquet tomorrow or should I say today will be held in the larger throne room. You know the one. Well in there are weapons used for entertainment. So there will be no need to hide weapons in our rooms."
"Okay I see you point Isis but how are we going to get our hands on the weapons? It is going to look strange if we all just start grabbing weapons." "Do you remember the fights we used to put on at parties and just for the fun of it?"
"Yeah you, Nefertiti, Safiya and I used to do them all the time." Mai looked puzzled for a minute and then realized what Ariel was getting at. "I think I know what you are saying. We will put on our 'just for fun' fights and Nefertiti can give Yami the signal for the boys to come up. That way every one will be distracted and we will already have weapons in hand."
"Exactly."
"That is a good plan Lady Isis but now we must get these boys back downstairs and you girls back to bed." Commented Sharifa
"Alright. Sharifa and myself shall take the boys back down the rest of you go to bed."
The girls headed back to their rooms when Ariel called Tea back
"Nefertiti! I almost forgot."
"What?"
"The Illusion spell."
Tea walked over to Ariel and they placed their left hands side by side. Ariel then placed her right hand over the rings and began to chant. Slowly the rings clouded over and became death like black.
"That should do it. I will see you in the morning Nefertiti and remember we are suppose to still me under the spell or whatever they did to us."
"I know but I swear if Bakura tries anything with me I am going to kill him no questions asked."
"Fine with me." Ariel turned to the boys "You guys ready?"
They simply nodded not really wanting to go back into that cell. Ariel and Sharifa walked down the hall towards the back staircase, which was hardly even used. After descending the stairs Mokuba left Seto's side and took Ariel's hand. Ariel smiled down at him as they continued on.
Once down in the dungeon Ariel made a copy of the guard's keys and gave them to Yami then left to go pick out swords for them. Sharifa was making sure they were all back in the cell she noticed Seto was missing and it didn't take a genius to figure out where he had gone.
Ariel stared at the large array of swords to choose from along with maybe a dagger or two. She was concentrating so hard on which sword might be the best and for whom that she never noticed Seto come in a lean against the doorframe.
"I think the wooden sword would work best for the mutt considering he might hurt himself. Then again that just might be entertaining." Ariel turned to see Seto standing there with a smirk on his face
"You need to be back in the cell. Sharifa is not going to be pleased with you."
"Like I care. Anyways I came for an answer."
"To what you never asked me a question?"
"I want to know what the hell happened back in your room."
"You know very well what happened."
"What you think I believe all this past life crap? It is more then likely that we are in so twisted virtual game." "Look where we are Seto, we are in the past."
"Where is your proof that this is the past and not virtual reality?"
"You want proof? Fine I will give you proof."
Ariel advanced on Seto who stood up straight still against the doorframe. In one swift motion Ariel drew a dagger from behind her back and slashed Seto right across the forearm. Seto cringed at the pain closing his eyes trying to make himself believe that Ariel had not just done that. If this was virtual reality then why did it hurt so much? Suddenly the pain began to subside and a bright light shone through his eyes. Seto opened his eyes to find that Ariel's right hand, which was over the cut, was producing the light. Slowly the cut healed leaving no scar and nothing more then a tingle.
"Is that proof enough for you?"
Seto could say nothing all he could do was stare
"I would never have done that if I couldn't have fixed it."
Ariel grabbed a few of the swords and walked out of the room, a dazed and shocked Seto following her.
"Sharifa!"
"In here Lady Isis!"
Ariel walked into the cell and handed every one a sword including Mokuba
"Lady Isis do you believe it wise to give a child a sword?"
"Mokuba will be fine. It is time he learned to protect himself anyway."
"I have a few instructions for the boys, you can wait outside if you like Lady Isis."
"I think I will." Ariel walked out of the cell. Making sure Sharifa didn't see him Seto followed Ariel out.
Ariel leaned against the cool stonewall and closed her eyes. It had been a very long day she had lost her soul and regained it all in one day. What could possibly be more tiring? She did want to know then answer she simply wanted to rest for a moment. Ariel didn't even move when she felt some one come very close to her.
"I want an apology." Demanded Seto
"Whatever." Ariel was not going to feel sorry for him "Well I am taking that apology either way." Seto had leaned even closer to whisper that in her ear
Seto pulled back for a moment the moved closer one again. Ariel felt his lips brush her trying to pull her into a kiss, but Ariel had no intention of giving in right away. Seto pulled back and looked at her rather confused Ariel just looked him straight in the eye. So Seto tried once again this time his kiss was returned. Sadly the kiss didn't last as long as Seto had hopped because Sharifa had realized he was missing.
"LORD SETO!"
"You better go."
"Yeah I guess I better." Seto walked into the cell then came back out for a moment "Nice apology." He was smirking again
"No problem." Ariel returned the smirk
Sharifa walked out of the cell and locked the door motioning for Ariel to follow her they headed back upstairs. Once upstairs Sharifa gave all the girls a small dose of the sleeping powder, just enough to ease them into a restful sleep so they would be wide awake in the morning. Lastly before heading to her room Sharifa lifted the sleeping spell on the guards.
That night both Bakura and Marik had dreams. They dreamt about they day they had purposed to the ones they had loved and how they had been betrayed by those some loves. Both had sworn to find the ones they loved and make them theirs. They had also sworn to kill the ones who had stolen their loved ones away. Once they woke up both Marik and Bakura knew their dreams would become reality or at least they thought.
(I hope you all enjoyed this chapter it was a lot of fun to write it. Then next chapter will get even more exciting as we come to the weddings and the battle for their freedom. I just hope I don't get writers block again. The one good thing about getting writers block is that a new story came to me, don't worry it won't get in the way of this one. But I got the idea from several different SetoxSerenity stories that I have read and the new Britney Spears song 'Toxic' so here is a summary so far please tell me what you think:
Toxic by AlexiaBlack1: Serenity had just returned from three years in America in New York no less. Joey is happy to have his little sister back but Serenity is not the same 'little sister' she used to be, she has a new attitude. One thing that hasn't changed is Joey and Seto fights in fact they have become even worse. What will happen when Seto decides to bring Serenity into the middle of the fight? What will Joey do? More importantly what will Serenity do?
Let me know what you think. Don't forget to review!!)

Every one slowly walked out of Ariel's room leaving Ariel and Seto alone, well all except Mokuba who was still holding onto Seto.
"Mokuba come with me." Commanded Sharifa
"No"
"Mokuba go with her I need to talk to Isis alone." The coldness from before was still in his voice
"But big brother I want to stay with you." In shock of how cold his brother was being
"I will be out in a few minutes." The coldness was still there
Seto took Mokuba's hand and led him out of the room and handed him to Sharifa. Seto wasn't surprised at the way his brother was acting considering what had happened. First he had to watch Seto attack Ariel and then collapse. Wakening up moments latter only to start making out with Marik. Lastly and probably the worst of them all was thinking that Ariel had killed Seto. It was a lot for one person to go through even Seto still felt a little weak after losing his soul but he wasn't about to admit it.
Seto gave Mokuba one last hug, reassuring him that he was not mad, and then closed the door. Turning around to talk with Ariel he noticed her back was turned. Seto watched for a few seconds as the breeze coming through the balcony door made her golden hair dance in the moonlight. Even her nightdress was swaying in the breeze as well the nightdress suited her. It was long and white and sleeveless with string that crisscrossed along the middle of her back tying at the top, something like a corset. She looked beautiful.
"You know you are going to have to kill him." Ariel said suddenly her back still turned and the same coldness was in her voice
"Kill who?"
"Gahiji."
"With pleasure."
"Well at least it is not a problem, but it is not going to be easy."
"You don't have to tell me twice, last time was hard enough."
"All you did was push him out a window." She sounded kind of irritated but Seto couldn't figure out why.
"Yeah well you try getting a guy almost three times your size out a window it is not an easy thing."
"You managed it didn't you." Now Ariel sounded really irritated
"Okay something is pissing you off and I want to know what it is so out with it!"
"Nothing."
"I won't take that for an answer Isis now tell me!" They was he was talking you would think he was talking to Joey
"Fine! I want to kill him but I can't. This stupid ring prevents me from doing so. Besides it is Pharaoh Yami who must deal with him." Her voice was terribly cold. Seto also noticed her Necklace was glowing slightly
"And who would that be, Marik?"
"Yes!" Tears streamed down her face and she was shaking with anger. The tears were of anger and frustration that had been building up inside Ariel from the moment she had been kidnapped.
Tea's Room
Yami waited until the glow faded from Tea's Bracelet before he said anything. They had been sitting on her bed talking when the charm of the Necklace started glowing indicating that Ariel need to speck with Tea. When the glow faded Tea opened her eyes.
"So what did Isis want?"
"She wanted me to inform you that you must be the one to deal with Marik no one else can. She said she had a vision that if you didn't defeat Marik that all hope would be lost because your defeat would mean your." Tea paused she did want to say the next word, but she continued, "It would mean your death." Tea's head hung the words hurt her, she did want to lose Yami again.
"Nefertiti it will be alright, you'll see." "I hope so for your sake and the worlds."
"Once this is over I am going to force Bakura to remove that ring from hand."
Outside in the hallway
Every one else was waiting out in the hallway for Seto, Ariel, Yami and Tea to finish talking, which none of them believe they were actually doing. Mokuba was sitting in a corner next to Sharifa waiting impatiently for Seto to come out. Mai and Joey were, well we are talking about Mai and Joey so just guess. Tristan and Serenity were just sitting against one of the columns with each other and Shadi and Ishizu were talking.
It was never a surprise to see the two of them talking because that was all they did. Every one knew they liked each other but they sure had a funny way of showing it. However Shadi did something that was totally out of character. Ishizu had been explaining to him what had happened to the girls and had momentarily stopped to think. Then out of nowhere Shadi reached over grabbed Ishizu around the waist, pulled her close to him and kissed her! (Alexia: Can some one say FINALLY)
"Okay now that is just weird." Tristan said simply
"I know those to always seem so serious especially Shadi." Serenity just shrugged, leaned against Tristan and closed her eyes
"One thing I don't understand" Sharifa was completely ignoring Shadi and Ishizu, "is why the spell didn't finish."
"What do you mean didn't finish?" Serenity asked opening her eyes again
"The spell should not have ended with the kiss. The spell is also suppose to show each couple the time they first admitted their love to each other, the very first time that is."
"Very first?" Asked Tristan
"If you haven't noticed all of you have been couples since the time of the Pharaohs more then 5,000 years ago. The gods could sense that a very powerful evil was drawing closer and if something wasn't done the world would be destroyed. So the gods chose ten mortals to bestow with great powers. Six would have the powers of the Millennium Items. Three would have the power of combat and one would have the power of knowledge.
The god's didn't stop there though they chose four of the ten to have ultimate powers. The powers they gave them were powers of the gods. Ra chose one to be the most powerful, one that would lead them all. Ra chose the next Pharaoh as the leader placing some of his own powers into the Pharaoh.
Next Hathor chose a young girl to be the protector of the Pharaoh and to watch over the other holders of the Items. Hathor chose a young servant girl who would one day be Queen. Isis chose next, she chose a young girl who showed powers of a sorceress. The girl would one day wield the power of the Necklace. Isis increased the young girls strength but Isis also went further then that. Into the young girl she placed her essence making the girl half goddess and a very strong sorceress.
Lastly the god Set chose and he chose a young boy that would one day be the High Priest. Although this young boy was on the side of good Set still bestowed his powers of chaos and destruction. They boy would grow up on the side of good but would always be rather cold hearted and distant. Sadly if anything pushed him over the edge he would turn on a dime and turn against the Pharaoh and his followers.
So you see you were all meant to be together always in every life because you are the chosen ones. Chosen to protect the world from evil."
"Yeah what ever you say lady." Said Joey although joking
"Tarik it is true and you know it." Ishizu said sharply
"Hey what is that light?" asked Mai
"What light?" asked Serenity
"Those light." Mokuba pointed to both doors
"Like I said the Remembrance spell wasn't finished."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Tea and Yami shielded their eyes from the blinding white light that seemed to come from the middle of the room. As the light grew stronger they felt themselves leave the softness of the bed and found themselves instead on a stone bench. The light faded reveling that the bench was in a very secluded part of one of the palaces many gardens. They were also surprised to find that their bodies were translucent.
Across from Yami and Tea was another bench where another Tea was sitting as if waiting for someone. This other Tea was reading a note in her hand over and over again.
"Nefertiti do you know what is going on." Yami asked
"It looks like it is a glimpse of my past life, but that can't be because the charm of the Necklace is not glowing."
"Then maybe this is a continuation of that spell that was used on us."
"Maybe. Well I guess all we can do is watch and wait because it is obvious that we can not be seen nor heard."
Both became silent when they heard the bushes next to them rustled. Nefertiti looked up from the letter she was reading with a smile on her face. But when a young man with long white hair walked into the clearing the smile faded a little.
"Bakura what are you doing here?"
"I saw you walking in the garden and thought I would join you. I didn't realize this place was so big or that it had some many hidden areas."
"I come here sometimes to think."
"I just don't understand why you would want to be alone on your birthday."
"It is only my fifteenth birthday it not like it is a big deal."
"Well of course it is. Fifteen is the age when most girls are married."
Nefertiti simply laughed thinking that Bakura was teasing her
"Oh yes I almost forgot. Let me see you are only the second person to say that today. My mother gave me this big speech about turning fifteen and how I should now focus on finding a suitable husband." Her words were so sarcastic
"You're funny you know that."
"Why am I so funny?"
"Because you can't see what is right in front of you."
"And what would that be? Stop teasing and tell me."
"I am not teasing and I have a birthday present for you."
Bakura walked over to Nefertiti who was still sitting on the bench. Bakura reached into a pouch that was hanging around his waist pulling something out of it but Nefertiti couldn't see what. Bakura knelt down if front of Nefertiti who still thought he was joking around.
"What in Ra's name does he think he is doing?" Yami wasn't happy
"Shhhh" was all Tea said
"Bakura what are you doing? You are acting really funny." Nefertiti was trying not to laugh at him
Bakura took Nefertiti's left hand in his
"We have been best friends for years but it is now time to move past that."
"What do you mean move past that?" Nefertiti realized that he wasn't joking
"Will you be my wife?"
"WHAT?!?" Nefertiti's eyes were wide with shock as Bakura slipped a simple gold ring on her ring finger
"I know it is not much but it is all I could afford."
"Bakura I, I." she was lost for words
"I know this is kind of a surprise, but what do you say?"
"Bakura I..." Nefertiti took a deep breath, "I can't." she removed the ring from her finger and handed placed it back in Bakura's hand
"Why?" Bakura sounded hurt
"Because I don't love you. Yes you are one of my best friends but I just don't love you." Nefertiti couldn't even look at Bakura
"Let me guess you still have this naïve dream that you are going to marry Prince Yami." Bakura voice was harsh and cold, "You're a servant Nefertiti you could never marry him!"
"He'll be Pharaoh soon so he can change the law so that he can marry anyone he wants!" Nefertiti was now on her feet
"You've made a very big mistake today Nefertiti." Bakura walked away then stopped and turned slightly, "You will be mine Nefertiti make no mistake about that." Bakura left Nefertiti stunned as he walked back through the trees.
Nefertiti just stood there her eyes closed and taking very deep breaths. She was very shaken, never had she heard a voice so cold and harsh that it gripped every fibber of her being. Slowly Nefertiti lowered herself back down onto the bench; her hands clenched the front of the bench and her head was hung. A twig cracked causing her head to shoot up her eyes wide with fear thinking that it was Bakura returning. Thankfully it was not Bakura it was Prince Yami.
As Yami came into the clearing he saw Nefertiti sitting gripping the bench fear in her eyes and a pale face.
"Nefertiti are you alright?" Yami rushed to her side but something shinning caught his eye. Bending down Yami picked up the simple gold ring that had been on Nefertiti's finger only a moment ago. Apparently Bakura had dropped it.
"Nefertiti what is this?"
Nefertiti took a deep breath and then explained what had happened between her and Bakura.
"So then I told him that yes he was my friend but that I didn't love him that I love someone else. He walked away but stopped and told me that I had made a mistake in turning him down. He said that I would be his some day. His voice it was so cold and harsh that it gripped me sending shivers down my spine."
"So you told him you love someone else, who?"
"It doesn't matter it could never work out." Nefertiti didn't look at Yami when she said this instead she looked straight ahead.
Yami laughed a little
"I will find away to make it work."
Nefertiti looked at him with a shocked yet happy look on her face. Yami simply smiled and kissed her. Nefertiti returned it but the pulled back "Your father will never allow it."
"Do you think I care what my father will say?"
"But." Yami cut her off by pulling her into another kiss, this time she didn't break it
Standing behind a tree watching was Bakura who had never left. Bakura had seen the Prince walking towards the clearing and thought he would stay and watch. It took every ounce of strength Bakura had not to run over and kill Prince Yami.
"You will pay for this Prince Yami." Bakura whispered, "I will have Nefertiti and you shall feel my wrath." With that Bakura walked back to the palace
The same bright light filled the clearing and once again Yami and Tea found themselves in Tea's bedroom.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ariel's room
As the blinding light faded Seto and Ariel lowered their arms to find themselves in a very different room with translucent bodies. Looking around Ariel recognized the room, it was hers, or at least it was Isis' room.
"Would you mind not do this now?" Seto wasn't pleased
"Stop what? I didn't do anything."
"Your Necklace, every time it glows all these funny things happen
"My Necklace didn't do this."
"Then who did?"
"How am I supposed to know?"
Seto decided to survey the room. He was surprised to find another Ariel pacing the room reading some sort of book.
"If you're here then who is that?"
"If I had to guess I would have to say that it is Isis."
"Wha." Seto was cut off by a knock on the door
"Come in! It is open!" Yelled Isis "Hello Isis." Said a very cheerful Marik
"What the hell is he doing here?" said Seto even more displeased
"This is before he became evil. Now be quite."
"Hello Marik, how are you?" asked Isis
"Just fine. I missed you yesterday."
"I am sorry I had to tend to quite a few things."
"I understand."
"Did you have a nice time with you sister?" Isis sat down on her bed and Marik joined her
"Yes. She showed me where the Tomb Keepers live." Marik sounded sad instead of happy
"Marik you should be happy. What is wrong?"
"Its just I don't want to spend the rest of my life in the dark never being able to see the light or smell the fresh air again."
"Well I have good news for you."
"What would that be?"
"Pharaoh Yami has grated me permission to visit you."
"That is interesting because I talked to Pharaoh Yami as well and he gave me permission for something as well."
"What is that?"
"There is only one person in this whole world that could ever bring light to me in the Tombs of the Pharaohs and I intend to make her my wife."
"You have met someone how nice."
"Actually I haven't. I have known her for a long time." Marik got down on his knees and took Isis' hand "You are that women Isis."
"Marik I."
"Isis I have loved you for so long say you'll be my wife."
"Marik I." Isis tried again but Marik cut her off once again
"Pharaoh Yami said that because you are the Sorceress you would be allowed to come out of the Tombs and perform your duties. Although you are to remain in the palace at all times. But you will be able to see the sun and the stars and we will be together."
"Marik I can't marry you." Isis refused to look Marik in the face
"Why not? I thought you loved me?"
"I do love you Marik but not like that."
"What do you mean? What other love could there be?"
"The love between brother and sister. Marik that is the only love I have ever felt for you, you are the brother I never had. I have never had any other feeling for you."
Marik could not say anything back he just stayed there on one knee still holding her hand. Isis could feel him shaking with anger and knew she had hurt him terribly. Isis may have hurt him but she could not lie to him nor could she deny what her heart truly felt. Finally Marik broke the silence.
"There is some one else, isn't there?"
"Yes." Isis whispered so low that Marik almost missed it
"I knew it." An even angrier Marik stood up
"Marik please don't be angry."
"I hope you will be happy with whoever it is. Although I have a fairly good idea of who you say you love." His voice was full of hurt and bitterness
Turning from Isis Marik walked to the door and opened it. He was about to walk out when he paused.
"Refusing to marry me was a big mistake Isis. I will have you for my wife, if not in this life then in the next. Make no mistake I will find you wherever you are and make you mine." With that Marik left the room.
Marik left Isis crying in her room, but for some reason he didn't care instead he felt she deserved it. As Marik walked down the hall he passed the High Priest Seto and shot him a look of pure hatred. Marik knew that it was Seto who Isis was in love with he had seen the way she had looked at him and the way Seto had looked at her. Seto who had been heading back to his room before dinner ignored Marik who he had never liked in the first place. Seto knew that Marik had feelings for Isis, which made Seto watch him closely. Brushing the thought of Marik to the back of his mind Seto continued to his room. He was just about to open the door to his room when he saw that Isis' door was open. Walking across the hall he could hear a faint noise coming from her room, as he got closer Seto realized Isis was crying. This concerned Seto greatly considering he had never known Isis to cry or show any such emotion. Pushing the door open Seto slowly entered her room.
"Isis?"
Isis looked up crystal tears still streaming down her face. Meeting Seto's eyes she quickly stood up and turned away from him.
"Please go away." She didn't want him to see her crying.
Seto however didn't leave he knew that whatever had hurt Isis enough to make her cry had been caused by Marik. Seto was going to find out exactly what Marik had done to her.
"Isis what did Marik do to you." Isis looked at him in surprise "I saw him walk down the hall so I knew he had been to see you. Now tell me what did he do to you."
Slowly and between sobs Isis told Seto what had happened between her and Marik. The whole time she was telling the story she never turned to face him, but Isis knew that Seto was standing right beside her. Seto noticed her left hand was holding tightly to something.
"So he told me that he would find me wherever I was and make me his. All because I told him I couldn't marry him because I don't love him like that and the fact that I love someone else. I know I hurt him but it couldn't have been enough to do that."
"Pharaoh Yami will make sure that he can never hurt you. You know that he will be kept down in the Tombs of the Pharaohs for the rest of his life." Isis nodded "Now tell me who is this other person?"
When Isis didn't say anything Seto turned her around to face him, but she kept he head down.
"Isis who is it?"
"The person is, is you." Isis still didn't look at him
Seto brushed the tears off Isis' face, placed his hand under her chin and lifted her head up so that she was looking him in the eyes.
"I have a little secret to tell you. I love you too."
With that Seto drew Isis into a passionate kiss. Opening her left hand he found what she had been holding onto, it was a ring from Marik. Taking it out of her hand Seto threw it across the room.
Marik had been almost to the grand staircase when he realized that he had left his cape back in Isis' room so he turned around to get it. When he reached the Isis' door he found it was still partly opened, Seto hand never fully closed it. Marik also heard no sound of crying coming from her room and figured she must have left. More then likely she had taking the back stairs to avoid running into him.
Marik quietly pushed the door opened and walked over to her bed where his cape was. Marik picked up his cape and turned to leave when his eyes caught a glimpse of something across the room. Looking back Marik realized that it was Isis in the arms of the one man that he had ever truly hated, High Priest Seto. Something glittering on the floor also caught his attention, it was the ring he had given Isis and it was now lying on the floor like a piece of trash. The two sights filled him with even more hate, bitterness and jealousy and all Marik could think was that he wanted Seto dead.
Running from Isis' room Marik made his way as fast as he could from the palace to the stables. After quickly getting his horse ready Marik rode swiftly out of the Royal City and into the desert. Eyes that had once been soft and kind were cold and full of evil, which had consumed him once again. Not sense the age of twelve had this evil been alive in him, Isis had been there to subdue it, but now there was nothing to hold it back. Isis who was now so happy had no idea that it had been unleashed once more.
The intense light flashed once more, Seto and Ariel found themselves back in the Pharaoh's room. With out even looking at Seto Ariel ran out of the room.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The door's from the Pharaoh's room and the Sorceress room burst open as Tea and Ariel came running out followed by a confused looking Seto and a serious looking Yami.
"Sharifa!"
"Yes Lady Isis?"
"I have an idea." Ariel paused for a moment to compose herself, "The banquet tomorrow or should I say today will be held in the larger throne room. You know the one. Well in there are weapons used for entertainment. So there will be no need to hide weapons in our rooms."
"Okay I see you point Isis but how are we going to get our hands on the weapons? It is going to look strange if we all just start grabbing weapons." "Do you remember the fights we used to put on at parties and just for the fun of it?"
"Yeah you, Nefertiti, Safiya and I used to do them all the time." Mai looked puzzled for a minute and then realized what Ariel was getting at. "I think I know what you are saying. We will put on our 'just for fun' fights and Nefertiti can give Yami the signal for the boys to come up. That way every one will be distracted and we will already have weapons in hand."
"Exactly."
"That is a good plan Lady Isis but now we must get these boys back downstairs and you girls back to bed." Commented Sharifa
"Alright. Sharifa and myself shall take the boys back down the rest of you go to bed."
The girls headed back to their rooms when Ariel called Tea back
"Nefertiti! I almost forgot."
"What?"
"The Illusion spell."
Tea walked over to Ariel and they placed their left hands side by side. Ariel then placed her right hand over the rings and began to chant. Slowly the rings clouded over and became death like black.
"That should do it. I will see you in the morning Nefertiti and remember we are suppose to still me under the spell or whatever they did to us."
"I know but I swear if Bakura tries anything with me I am going to kill him no questions asked."
"Fine with me." Ariel turned to the boys "You guys ready?"
They simply nodded not really wanting to go back into that cell. Ariel and Sharifa walked down the hall towards the back staircase, which was hardly even used. After descending the stairs Mokuba left Seto's side and took Ariel's hand. Ariel smiled down at him as they continued on.
Once down in the dungeon Ariel made a copy of the guard's keys and gave them to Yami then left to go pick out swords for them. Sharifa was making sure they were all back in the cell she noticed Seto was missing and it didn't take a genius to figure out where he had gone.
Ariel stared at the large array of swords to choose from along with maybe a dagger or two. She was concentrating so hard on which sword might be the best and for whom that she never noticed Seto come in a lean against the doorframe.
"I think the wooden sword would work best for the mutt considering he might hurt himself. Then again that just might be entertaining." Ariel turned to see Seto standing there with a smirk on his face
"You need to be back in the cell. Sharifa is not going to be pleased with you."
"Like I care. Anyways I came for an answer."
"To what you never asked me a question?"
"I want to know what the hell happened back in your room."
"You know very well what happened."
"What you think I believe all this past life crap? It is more then likely that we are in so twisted virtual game." "Look where we are Seto, we are in the past."
"Where is your proof that this is the past and not virtual reality?"
"You want proof? Fine I will give you proof."
Ariel advanced on Seto who stood up straight still against the doorframe. In one swift motion Ariel drew a dagger from behind her back and slashed Seto right across the forearm. Seto cringed at the pain closing his eyes trying to make himself believe that Ariel had not just done that. If this was virtual reality then why did it hurt so much? Suddenly the pain began to subside and a bright light shone through his eyes. Seto opened his eyes to find that Ariel's right hand, which was over the cut, was producing the light. Slowly the cut healed leaving no scar and nothing more then a tingle.
"Is that proof enough for you?"
Seto could say nothing all he could do was stare
"I would never have done that if I couldn't have fixed it."
Ariel grabbed a few of the swords and walked out of the room, a dazed and shocked Seto following her.
"Sharifa!"
"In here Lady Isis!"
Ariel walked into the cell and handed every one a sword including Mokuba
"Lady Isis do you believe it wise to give a child a sword?"
"Mokuba will be fine. It is time he learned to protect himself anyway."
"I have a few instructions for the boys, you can wait outside if you like Lady Isis."
"I think I will." Ariel walked out of the cell. Making sure Sharifa didn't see him Seto followed Ariel out.
Ariel leaned against the cool stonewall and closed her eyes. It had been a very long day she had lost her soul and regained it all in one day. What could possibly be more tiring? She did want to know then answer she simply wanted to rest for a moment. Ariel didn't even move when she felt some one come very close to her.
"I want an apology." Demanded Seto
"Whatever." Ariel was not going to feel sorry for him "Well I am taking that apology either way." Seto had leaned even closer to whisper that in her ear
Seto pulled back for a moment the moved closer one again. Ariel felt his lips brush her trying to pull her into a kiss, but Ariel had no intention of giving in right away. Seto pulled back and looked at her rather confused Ariel just looked him straight in the eye. So Seto tried once again this time his kiss was returned. Sadly the kiss didn't last as long as Seto had hopped because Sharifa had realized he was missing.
"LORD SETO!"
"You better go."
"Yeah I guess I better." Seto walked into the cell then came back out for a moment "Nice apology." He was smirking again
"No problem." Ariel returned the smirk
Sharifa walked out of the cell and locked the door motioning for Ariel to follow her they headed back upstairs. Once upstairs Sharifa gave all the girls a small dose of the sleeping powder, just enough to ease them into a restful sleep so they would be wide awake in the morning. Lastly before heading to her room Sharifa lifted the sleeping spell on the guards.
That night both Bakura and Marik had dreams. They dreamt about they day they had purposed to the ones they had loved and how they had been betrayed by those some loves. Both had sworn to find the ones they loved and make them theirs. They had also sworn to kill the ones who had stolen their loved ones away. Once they woke up both Marik and Bakura knew their dreams would become reality or at least they thought.
(I hope you all enjoyed this chapter it was a lot of fun to write it. Then next chapter will get even more exciting as we come to the weddings and the battle for their freedom. I just hope I don't get writers block again. The one good thing about getting writers block is that a new story came to me, don't worry it won't get in the way of this one. But I got the idea from several different SetoxSerenity stories that I have read and the new Britney Spears song 'Toxic' so here is a summary so far please tell me what you think:
Toxic by AlexiaBlack1: Serenity had just returned from three years in America in New York no less. Joey is happy to have his little sister back but Serenity is not the same 'little sister' she used to be, she has a new attitude. One thing that hasn't changed is Joey and Seto fights in fact they have become even worse. What will happen when Seto decides to bring Serenity into the middle of the fight? What will Joey do? More importantly what will Serenity do?
Let me know what you think. Don't forget to review!!)
