Ok, so it's been a while since I've updated. I'm still trying to figure out
what to do now that everything's gone and then we had the whole computer
problem where our internet wouldn't let us online. Oh well. I'm bakc now
and ready to start with the next chapter. This one'll have a little bit
more twist to it.
Chapter 12
Marick and Malick both loaded the weapons from Isis into the back of the car. Isis had gone back inside for get something.
"Never knew anyone could have this many weapons in one place," Marick said as he loaded the last of them into the car and shut the trunk.
"No kidding. What do you think she went back inside to get?" Malick asked. Marick just shrugged. That's when Isis came out with a blanket over one shoulder and a long object wrapped in cloth in her hand. "What is that?"
Isis went to answer when she noticed the sun coming up slowly over the horizon. Marick grabbed her and threw her into the back seat of the car. She quickly set the object down and covered herself with the blanket. Marick and Malick quickly got into the car and drove off. Malick looked into the rearview mirror at Isis. She lay unmoving with the blanket protecting her. Malick glanced at Marick before looking back at the road.
Yugi went over to the window as the sun began to rise and pulled the shades down. They had gotten a call from Marick saying that they had picked Isis up and were on their way back. Yami places blankets over the sleeping girls. Shuranda and Tori had both fallen asleep on the couch while Trish and Cass were propped up against the couch on the floor. Yami laid the last blanket over Trish and then paused once he noticed something around her neck. He frowned slightly as he took a hold of the leather strap and gently lifted it from Trish's shirt.
He didn't get very far before a strong hand clamped over his. The hand looked to be Trish's, but it seemed stronger and slightly bigger. Yami looked up and looked into the eyes of Trish. No, not Trish, someone else. Trish's eyes were kinda and soft, but these eyes were cold and determined. He also noticed that the legs were longer and arms were stronger. Her hair held a certain tone that made is different from Trish's. Yami could sense the power around this person was stronger than Trish. This was a completely different person, one that could easily outmatch him. The hand loosed and dropped to the floor as the person fell into unconsciousness from exhaustion. Yami blinked slightly before lifting the object up again. on the bottom of the leather strap hung a crystal star. When counted, it had about sixteen points. Yami blinked at the crystal star before letting it drop down around the slim neck again. He then stood again and looked down at her. She was Trish again. Yami's frown deepened.
"They're back!" Yugi yelled as he ran out of the room. Yami looked up as Marick and Malick came in. Marick held the long object while Malick carried the girl under the blanket. Yugi followed them in and shut the door. "Is she ok?"
"She's fine," Malick replied as he set her down. "She just fell asleep." Malick took the blanket off her face and let it drop around her shoulders.
"What's that?" Yami asked as he looked at the long object.
"Not sure really. We didn't have time to ask before the sun came up," Marick explained.
"I guess there's no harm in looking at it, right?" Yugi asked.
Marick nodded and set the object down onto he table. The others watched as he removed the cloth wrapping binding the object. Underneath it lay a long golden staff. It stood about as tall as Isis, maybe a couple inches shorter. The top of the staff was created to resemble a serpent's head. What amazed them was what was embedded into the serpent's forehead. There lie the sennen eye, gleaming brightly in the light. The serpents mouth was open to reveal sharp fangs, and it's eyes were made of pure jade.
"What in the world is that?" Malick asked.
"Looks to be some sort of staff," Marick said.
"Wait a minute." All eyes looked at Malick. "Didn't Isis say there was another item?" Malick asked.
Marick blinked. "Yeah, she did. You don't think this is it, do you?"
"It's a possibility," Malick said. "She did say there was another item. How could she have been so calm about it unless she knew where it was and that it was safe?"
"That's a good point," Yami said as he looked down at the staff.
"I guess we'll have to wait till sundown to ask them," Yugi said.
"It would seem so. For now, let's keep it out of sight less we loose it," Yami said.
Marick nodded. "I doubt Isis would be very please, and by what we've seen so far, she is not a person to piss off."
Yami blinked at him. "I don't think I want to know."
"No, you don't," Malick replied. Marick stood and carefully picked up the staff as though it would break. He then walk out of the room to hide the staff for now.
Seto had come over later that day. Though he was a vampire hunter, he was still the CEO of Kiaba Corporation. While he was there, he had done some background check. There was indeed more then seven items. In total, there were ten items. Three of them had been missing once the pharaoh had locked the power away.
"So there are ten instead of seven?" Yugi asked.
Seto nodded. "There are three more than what we originally thought. For some reason unknown to the Egyptians, they disappeared. There have been a few traces of them afterwards, but not many. One happened to be ten years ago. It disappeared when the owner disappeared, whom was never found for some reason," Seto explained.
"Well, this just gets more and more interesting," Marick said. Malick nodded.
"Best not tell Bakura about it. He might end up going out and trying to get the items again," Yugi said.
"Wouldn't want that to happen now would we," Marick joked. Yugi laughed a bit. It felt good to laugh for a while. There had been so much tension and confusion that he was afraid that laughing might end up getting him into trouble.
"Well, I suggest we all head to bed. I'm beat and we'll need our strength for tonight," Marick said. Yami nodded his agreement.
"I've got to find Mokuba. Tomorrow we head out to get Shundrika back," Seto said before he stood and walked out.
"Night you guys," Yugi said as he walked out and into his room. Marick and Malick both took their leave and headed for bed. Yami soon followed Yugi and went to bed as well. A pair of strong and determined eyes opened and watched the pharaoh leave before softening into kind eyes and finally closing again.
What the hell is going on with Trish? And where did this new staff come from? And where are these new items? Find out next time in Hunter's Clan.
