Thinking (thought) = ' '
The Millennium Ritual
Chapter 8: Explanation
Yami was pacing around in the airplane, thinking about the strange conversation he had with Aura just moments before. 'I know she has the location of Maeve somewhere, I just know it.' He paced around a few more times, then stopped. 'This girl seems so familiar to me, but I can't put my finger on it.' Yami scratched his head, pondering. 'She seems so sad, as if she went through many things in her life. . . like I had.' Yami turned to the red curtain where Aura had disappeared to.
"Who are you?" He asked to the curtain, whispering.
"Ugh. . . Where am I?" said a voice.
Yami, startled, turned to who had said that. The sound was coming from where Yugi had been unconscious before. That can only mean one thing.
"Out of all the people. . ." Yami said angrily.
Kaiba, sitting up, was slowly recovering from being unconscious, as well as everyone else on board. Joey and Bakura were both rubbing their heads, wondering where they were. Tristan, Tea, and Duke however, were already up, looking at the setting change around them.
"Hey Yug', what's goin' on? Where are we?" Joey asked, looking around the airplane.
"Something tells me that we're not in Domino anymore." Said Tea, looking out of the nearest window.
"You are quite right, Tea. We are not in Domino City anymore. In fact, we should be out of the Indian Ocean and above India by now." Another voice said.
Everyone, including Yami/Yugi, turned to the voice. It was Aura, reappearing from the red curtain. She closed the curtain, then faced them, her face full of determination. First, everyone who was not in the conversation before was shocked, seeing it as quite as a surprise to see Aura on the plane. There were a few moments of silence, with Aura waiting for the bewilderment to pass. Kaiba, now recovered, stood up from his seat and walked to Aura, face full of anger.
"Aura! Where are we? What did you do with those men that surrounded us? Where are you taking us?" Said Kaiba, face to face with her. Bakura pulled on Kaiba's shoulder.
"Now come on Lad. I'm sure Aura has a reasonable explanation for bringing us here."
"Reasonable explanation?! Do you call running away from us, kicking me in the face, AND capturing us reasonable?" Joey said, rolling up his sleeve. Bakura shrugged.
"You know, I think for once Joey has a point. Why would you do that?" Duke said, directing his attention to Aura.
"Good question." Said Tristan, holding on to the struggling Joey. Yami however, did not have a comment in the now forming argument. In fact, he didn't want to.
"I believe, Joey," She said, facing them all, "that it was I who saved you all from being imprisoned in the Shadow Realm, am I not?"
"Yeah, but how do we know that you didn't want us to be sent to the Shadow Realm?" Kaiba commented dangerously, facing to Aura only.
"Why did you run anyway?" Tea asked sheepishly, out of her own curiosity. "Not that I am not grateful."
Aura looked at them skeptically. "Well, I didn't have many reasons to trust you, didn't I?" No one answered to that. She continued. "Besides, I didn't know which side you were on, but when I saw the Millennium Hunters surrounding you, I knew that you couldn't be against me."
"Millennium Hunters?" Yami said, entering the conversation.
Aura nodded. "That is what the hooded men call themselves. They are a secret cult that searches for anything that has to do with the Millennium Items. The name is self explanatory." She added, picking up a glass of water on the counter.
"Hmm. . . So they are like the Rare Hunters, pretty much." Kaiba said, remembering the Battle City Finals.
"Correct." Aura said, making her way to the cockpit. "Now if you will excuse me, I will see how far away we are from our destination." She walked around Kaiba to the cockpit, and was stopped by Tristan.
"Oh no you don't," he said, blocking her way, "you're not going anywhere until you give us some explanations."
Aura stared at him unbelievingly. Making up her decision, she replied, "Of course. I'm sure you would like to know what happened after your long afternoon nap." She sat down on the nearest chair, then crossing her legs, said, "You may ask about anything you like."
"First of all, I'd like to know all about what you know on the kidnappings." Duke said with an air of authority.
She nodded, then said, "Yes, I'm sure you do want to know about it. Well, I don't know much, so I'm not sure if it would help us."
"Who said we were working together?" Grumbled Kaiba. Aura didn't listen.
"As I said before, three pure hearted people were chosen to be captured by the Millennium Hunters. I have done some background research on the cult, finding out the kidnappings have something to do with the Millennium Ritual."
"And what is that supposed to be?" Interrupted Yami, in the corner.
"I do not sure. It is unknown to all those not in the cult. All I know is that it is dangerous. To complete this Ritual, they need to sacrifice three pure hearted people, which explains the kidnappings."
Kaiba's face loses all color, thinking that he would never forgive himself if Mokuba died. Joey's face is down, worrying about his little sister. Tea patted Joey on the back.
Aura said with compassion. "Don't worry. We will get them back. I promise on my mother's grave that we will." She stood up from the chair she sat on. "Now if you will excuse me. . ."
"Why them?" Joey said, "Why Serenity, Mokuba, and Yugi's Grandpa? Why not anyone else?"
"Why should they not be chosen?" Aura replied. Joey didn't say anything. "If that is all the questions. . ."
"Just another question." Said Tea, needing more info, "How did we get out of that mess anyway?"
That was then Aura looked at Yami. "I'm sure Yugi will explain."
Once again she turned to the cockpit, until Yami asked, "Where are we going?"
She turned to Yami.
"Why Egypt of course."
She then disappeared behind the cockpit door, with the rest sinking in the information they just received.
To Be Continued. . .
Ehh, I liked the seventh chapter better. But oh well. Once again I will not write anymore chapters if I don't have any reviews, so if you want to see what happens, you have to REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!
