Shadow's Story
Hi, this is the revised version of Shadow's story, as in, when she was growing up. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it (I did a fair bit of digging, just so I'd get most of this stuff right)
Disclaimer-I don't own any yu-gi-oh characters in this fic.
P.S- The village of Kuru Eruna is where Bakura actually grew up in the manga, it's where all of the pharaohs best craftsmen, and tomb makers lived.( Also, this is a teaser, if no one likes it, the rest WON'T be added, and it'll rot in the bowels of my hard drive! Also, where a period doesn't make sense, it's supposed to be 3 dots. Does anyone how you can keep them like that?)
Hi.My name is Shadow, but my real name is Shadahrien. Pretty weird, huh? That's why everyone just calls me Shadow.
Well, I suppose you want to here how I came to be a yami, and all that, right? Well, in order to do that, I'll have to take you way back, to when I was about.4 or 5, it's hard to remember things that happened 5000 years ago.well, here goes.
~Ancient Egypt, in the village of Kuru Eruna~
Shadahrien ran down the long street in the market place, after her best friend.
"BAKURA!! WAIT FOR ME!!" she shouted, dodging a person who had stepped onto her path.
"WELL, HURRY UP THEN!" he shouted back to her.
She grumbled under her breath, and continued to run after Bakura.
The two finally got through the market place, and stopped to catch their breath, before going to the foot of one of the many mountain-like hills, situated around their small village.
"What took you so long, Shadow?" Bakura asked, grinning at her.
"Shut up, just because some idiotic people got in my way, doesn't mean I'm slower than you," She said, punching him in the arm.
"Sure it doesn't" he said, running off toward the foot of a mountain-like hill.
"BAKURA!!" Shadow yelled, chasing after him, waving her fist in the air.
When she reached the bottom of the hill, Bakura had already began climbing it. "Your such a wimp!" she yelled up at him, climbing up after him.
"No I'm not! You are!" He yelled down to her.
The two reached the top, after only a few minutes of climbing, seeing as they had been climbing it since they were 3 years old.
"So, why'd we come up here again?" Bakura asked, flopping down onto the hard stone, letting his feet dangle off the side of the cliff.
"Because we always do?" Shadow said.
"Oh, wait! Now I remember!" Bakura said, digging into the pocket of the red robe his father had given him that was about 3 sizes too big.
Shadow sat down beside him, dangling her feet over the edge as well. "What is it?" she asked.
"Here." He said, handing her a black choker with an ankh pendant hanging off of it.
"Oh! Wow!! Thank you!" she said, hugging him, and putting it on.
"You're welcome he said, blushing slightly. Shadow smiled, and looked down at their village. "It's kinda funny."
"What is?" Bakura asked.
"Well, that you gave me this, and I got you.this" she pulled a golden ring off her finger, and handed it to Bakura.
".Thanks." he said, putting it on. Shadow grinned at him, then looked back down at the village.
"You'll always wear it, right?" She asked him.
"Until it doesn't fit anymore.you?"
"Of course" Shadow said.
Just then, she noticed some of the pharaoh's soldiers riding into the village, and heading straight for her fathers small shop.
"Oh my gods! Bakura!" She said, getting panicky.
"What?" he asked, looking to where she was staring.
Shadow got up, and climbed down the hill.
"Wait for me!" Bakura called, climbing down after her.
Shadow raced towards her fathers shop, as the soldiers spoke to him, and he pleaded something at them.
"Please, let me bring my daughter, I'm sure she could be of some use at the palace, she is my only family! I can't leave her!" he pleaded.
"Fine, fine, but you must come now, the palace needs more weaponry workers." One of the soldiers said.
"Father?" Shadow pulled at her fathers robes.
One of the two soldiers grabbed, her and hoisted her onto their horse, and got on, as her father got onto another horse.
"What?! WAIT!" she turned to see Bakura standing there, looking confused. Tears fell down Shadows face as she rode away from him. "BAKURA!!" she screamed, tears falling down her face. "I DON'T WANNA GO!!" She cried the rest of the way to the palace.
~A week later~
Shadow wandered down the hall, kicking a small piece of stone as she went. "This absolutely sucks.I don't want to be the chamber maid of some stuck up little prince." she muttered to herself, as she walked towards the large alabaster steps that lead down into the main courtyard. She looked up to see a cloaked and hooded person slowly edge up to someone sitting between two huge stone pillars, which adorned the stairs. He person shoved whoever it was off the edge of the high platform that the stairs led to, and they ran down the hall, away from Shadow, and the person they had pushed. Shadow rushed over to where the person had been shoved, and looked over the edge.
"Prince Yami!" Shadow said. Yami was barely keeping his hold on the edge of the platform with one hand.
"Help me!" he said to her.
She held her hand down "give me your hand" she said, and he gave her the arm he wasn't holding onto the platform with. She quickly hoisted him up.
"Thank you" he said, between gasps of breath.
"Sure, whatever." she said, standing up, and brushing herself off.
"Wait!" he said, getting up as well. "What's your name?"
"What does it matter to you? I mean, you'll find out soon enough." She said, as she began to walk away from him.
"What do you mean by that?" he said, catching up to her.
"Well, I'm going to end up being your chamber maid, so, you'll find out my name soon enough."
"You don't sound too thrilled about that."
"Well, that's cause I'm not!" she quickened her pace.
"Well, I owe you something for saving my life, perhaps I could arrange for you to do something else?" he said.
".You could do that?" She asked, stopping.
"Of course I can!" he said, proudly.
"Well, don't bet on being able to do it now."
"Why?"
"Because a couple of guards are here, to escort you back to your lesson, I believe." She said, looking down the hall.
"Aw, come off it!" he said, running down the hall, away from the guards.
Shadow giggled, and turned down a hallway, into the palace.
