The Millennium Ritual
Chapter 4: Forbidden Memories; Kaiba's Warning
Yugi was slowly walking home to the Game Shop, thinking of the strange conversation he had with the foreign exchange student, Aura. She said that someone is coming to Domino City to kidnap three pure hearted people. Especially me, thought Yugi, slowly approaching the Game Shop. But why? Why did Aura tell this information to Yugi? Is she a messenger from Egypt? And how did she know this? All Yugi knew that this all started when he had the dream this morning, and that the dream is somehow connected with Yami. Yugi was right in front of the Game Shop, seeing the sign switched to CLOSED, WILL BE BACK SOON. Good, thought Yugi, that means that Grandpa is out right now, and I can talk to Yami in private about the dream. He took out his keys from his pocket and unlocked the door. He went inside and ran upstairs to his room, to begin his conversation with Yami. Closing his eyes, Yugi called out Yami's name.
"Yami, I need to talk to you. Come out."
A few moments later, a sparkle in the air appeared. Then, slowly, in the place of the sparkle was Yami, calmly waiting for Yugi to speak. Yugi opened his eyes, and said, "What's going on Yami? Why did I have that dream this morning? It seemed as if I was looking into a moment of your past, and something tells me that you aren't telling me the whole truth about it." Yugi then waited. Yami sighed, sinking down into a chair, his piercing gaze on Yugi.
"You do not need to know." Yugi froze. This was not the way the conversation was supposed to start.
"What do you mean I don't need to know!?" screamed Yugi, frustrated that Yami will not tell him anything. "I have every reason to know! Who was that strange woman? Who was that strange man? Why do they seem so familiar to me? What did she mean by each life you destroyed? What did you do back in Ancient Egypt? Tell me!"
But even after Yugi's little speech, Yami calmly shook his head, and said, "I will tell you. But you are not ready to receive all of the information of my past. Because my past was of a dangerous one Yugi, and I don't think you can take it." He stood up, and went by Yugi's side. "You see, the dream you had receive was a memory of my past, a memory I have never forgotten." Yami smiled sadly, and said, "It was a memory I couldn't let go." Yugi blinked, not understanding what he meant. Yami continued, "At that time I was only a mere age of 16, and being the Crown Prince of Egypt wasn't all that much fun to me. The woman in the dream was my adviser, protector, and teacher. The man named Ryes was my priest." Yami stopped, remembering that same exact moment all those years ago. "At that memory I had done a deed that was so evil, that my high priestess - the strange woman- and my priest was considering to block me out of the outside world, but I could not bear that, and the high priestess knew." At that moment, Yami looked as if he uncovered a very, very sad memory in his life. "The priestess and I were somewhat close." He shook his head, trying to get rid of the horrible memory he had in his mind of her. "Anyway, she did not know what to do with me. She vowed on my father's deathbed that she would take care of me, and that she would make sure that I become Pharaoh. She was so tired, and she did not want to lose any more people she loved. Including me. She believed that if I continued the killings, the people would hunt me down and kill me. That's why she was so sad." Yami stopped, waiting for Yugi's response.
Yugi quietly said, "In the dream she said you killed someone." Yami, eyes filled with sadness, nodded.
"Yes, I did kill someone. Not only one, but many. If someone displeased me, I would have beheaded them." He frowned, but then continued, "I once almost beheaded my priest Ryes for disagreeing with me, and I could have too, if it wasn't for Maeve's daring attempt to save him."
"Maeve. Is that her name, Maeve?" Yugi asked.
Yami nodded, and said, "Yes, that was her name."
"What did she do to save him?"
"Just as the guard was about to throw the ax down to Ryes' head, Maeve ran and protected him, screaming the Egyptian proverb 'In order to proceed into the future, you must let go of your past!' At that time I did not know what it meant, but it was enough to stop me from beheading Ryes." Yami stared off into the distance, remembering. "She was very brave, braver than you and I. She never did care about what happened to her, all she cared about was the safety of the people she loved and cared for most. In fact, if it wasn't for her, I would be dead and walking in the Shadow Realm by now." For some reason, Yugi saw that Yami, with his head down, was crying. Before he had the chance to ask why, Yami disappeared into his soul room, not wishing to be spoken to. Yugi knew that this Maeve was more than a good friend. Something told him that she was more than that, much more. And Yugi will find out soon why that is.

Kaiba was in his limousine, thinking about the event that happened earlier at school. Why did Aura come to Domino City? There was nothing for her here. Especially after what I did to her, thought Kaiba. Aura and Kaiba had met a long time ago, but that is a different story. Kaiba closed his eyes, thinking on what to do with her, when he heard a familiar voice.
"Kaiba."
Quickly Kaiba opened his eyes, to see that the person speaking to him was Aura herself. His eyes widened.
"Aura! What are you doing here? This is my limo, and how did you get here?"
"I know perfectly well that this is your limo, and how I got inside your limo is none of your business. Now, we need to talk."
Kaiba glared at her, thinking why she had the right to come in here and tell him what to do, lost all compassion for her before. "Yes, you're right, we do need to talk, Aura. Like about why you are in Domino City, and in my limousine talking to me after all I have done to you." He said back to her. She was sitting across from him, calmly waiting for him to finish.
"Because Seto Kaiba, I'm here in Domino City to help you." She answered to him. He laughed cruelly, and said, "Help me? I think you're the one who needs help Aura! Who in their right minds would help someone who had cause great pain to them?"
"A good person," She snapped, trying to get the conversation back on track. "Did you really think I went to Egypt to get away from you? I doubt it. No, I went to Egypt to help you, not to hurt you."
"Who said you hurt me?" Kaiba said sternly, trying to forget what she did to help him all those years ago.
"Look, this isn't about you or me, it's about your brother, Mokuba." She responded, sternly. Kaiba froze, not liking the way she said her brother's name. Aura continued, "Someone is coming Kaiba. And for some reason they want Mokuba. I'm not sure why yet, but I know they're also after Yugi too." Kaiba winced at the sound of Yugi's name, remembering the duel he had with him long ago.
Aura leaned closer, so that her face isn't covered by shadow. "You must forget your past with Yugi if you want to save your brother." She said, her sparkling green eyes flaring. "You can't prevent it, they will get Mokuba, and when they do, you'll have to work together with Yugi to get him back. And you'll have to work with me also."
"Why are you telling me this?" Kaiba asked angrily, but entranced by Aura's green eyes in front of him. She leaned back, sighing.
"Because it's the right thing to do, Kaiba. I know that you have been through a lot in your lifetime, and I know that you cannot bear to lose Mokuba too. But remember this. You have a friend, and you can count on me to help you, if you let me."
The driver pulled over to a curb, and Aura reached for the door, saying, "This is my stop. Remember our conversation. And keep your eyes open. They can be anyone, just waiting to kidnap Mokuba." As she reached for the door, Kaiba stopped her by grabbing her hand.
"I have one question Riordan." Kaiba said, "How do I know I can trust you, if you won't tell me your motive in this too?" She stared at Kaiba's piercing blue eyes.
"You just have too."
With that said, Aura climbed out of the limo and shut the door. The driver pulled onto the intersection and drove off. When Kaiba looked back, Aura was not to be seen. But above where he last saw her, was a black falcon, with golden streaks along its back.
To be continued. . .
Eh, I don't want to say a lot, except that the Egyptian proverb was made up. I made it by myself. And don't worry, I'm gonna write a story on the deal between Aura and Kaiba. I'm not sure to make it a tragedy, romance, or what ever. I will figure it out though. So REVIEW!!!!!!!!REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!
