A Very Big Change

By Alyssa_Anime_Angel

Kindra: Well aren't we in trouble.

Malik: *sweat drop*

Bakura: You said it.

Yugi: Oh don't worry we'll be okay.

Tea: Yes the power of friendship will get us through.

…

…

…

…

Kindra: Actually the power of love.

…

…

Isis: whose love?

Kindra: Why mine and Bakura's silly. *shakes head smiling*

Chapter 7 – The power of love.

The oddly assorted group of people found themselves in an ancient Egyptian palace.

"Is this a memory?" asked Kindra.

"I don't think so," said Bakura who was looking down at his arms, which seemed semi-transparent. Everyone looked at themselves then at each other in shock.

"What the…" exclaimed Kuja.

Kindra commented, "I think we are in the past?"

Yami said, "I know this place."

Isis looked at him and said, "Was this your palace?"

"I think so?"

"I think I know it too," said Kindra.

"Me too," said Kuja and after he said that he felt such a pang of sorrow, regret and shame that he had to grab his heart.

Malik saw him and asked, "What's wrong?"

He answered, "Something terrible happened here!"

Everyone turned to look at Shadi who replied, "hey don't look at me, this is way out of my league."

"Oh just great," said Kuja.

"Hey I think someone's coming," said Yugi.

Everyone stared as Yami and Kindra, both dressed in ancient Egyptian clothing, walked down the corridor.

Everyone flashed eyes to the present Yami and Kindra, then went back to staring at the past Yami and Kindra. (AN: Just for my writing sake, the present Kindra and Yami will be called their names whereas the past ones will be P-Yami and P-Kindra unless their full names are written. Same with Bakura.)

Yugi asked, "They can't see us, can they?"

"I doubt it, as we can hardly see ourselves," said Kindra.

Everyone hushed up as P-yami started to talk.

It is a time of great sorrow, now that my father has past on, Kindra you will have to live by my rules as you did my father, your uncle. I will not be as soft as he was.

Yes Pharaoh, may I take leave to console my loss?

Everyone saw the pharaoh grow angry you will not be seeing him. He is not worthy of you

But Yamitah

The pharaoh's hand slapped across her face, knocking her to the ground. Bakura was very angry at this and saw tears form in her eyes as she ran away from her cousin.

Kindra he called but it was too late, she was gone. There was a look of regret and hardness on his face. Yamitah walked to the throne room of the palace to think.

Kindra said, "This is what happened just before I was cast into the shadow realm."

Shadi said, "I do now recall the loss of the niece of the late pharaoh."

"I went to meet Bakura."

The surroundings around the group changed and they were now standing in a dark alleyway of a deserted street. They saw P-Kindra there and she seemed to be waiting for someone. A figure approached her from behind and she turned and jumped into the boy's arms. She stayed there for a while sobbing.

Drying her tears she extracted herself from him and said Oh Baky…Bakura…I cant *sob* cant *sob* see you anymore

P-Bakura froze and was about to say something when p-Kindra said I love you before running away.

Kindra he yelled before he collapsed to the ground devastated.

The group was transported again, back to the palace where p-Kindra was sneaking in.

She froze as she heard a sound around the corner coming up. She saw a figure she didn't know and knew he was a thief.

Stop thief

The figure turned and they saw a black haired boy with red eyes. He looked evil and p-Kindra stood back. The boy somewhat looked like her Baky, as though they were related somehow.

Who are you?

My name is Kuja, but that doesn't concern you,…not anymore that is A sadistic smile formed on his face and he took a step towards her.

What do you? Kindra stopped as she saw a golden ring appear on his chest. It was the millennium ring.

Light erupted in the room and where Kindra once stood there was a blue eyes white dragon tablet.

Darkness surrounded the tablet and it disappeared.

The darkness subsided and Kuja began to shake. The original Kuja took control of his body and ran out of the palace horrified.

The group was then transported to Kuja who was trying to stab himself, with no luck.

Finally he sat down and went into his soul room.

Kuja said, "I banished both of us to the shadow realm. Since I had more vitality and strength from the spell that Kindra had cast before she was transported I was able to destroy his soul and I was stuck in the shadow realm alone. I grew bitter and evil over the millennia because of the memories of the spirit."

Finding out the truth transported them to the next scene. It was the next day and p-Bakura was sitting in a small hut by the Nile. He looked horrible, devastated and he rushed to the door when he heard a knock he opened the door and a young girl stood there. It seemed as though he knew her, so he let her in.

I am one of Kindra's…friends the girl couldn't look at him though I was

Bakura froze what happened?

She has disappeared

P-Bakura looked ready to collapse when the door swung open. Yamitah stood there as several guards walked in and bound both p-Bakura and the girl's arms behind their backs.

Yamitah walked up to them and said One of Kindralah's servants…take her away…as for this one…Kindralah's murderer…leave me with him

The guards did exactly as he said and closed the door behind them, leaving the two boys alone. Yamitah punched p-Bakura in the face and then in the stomach. P-Bakura fell to the ground and spat out blood. Yamitah continued to kick him repeatedly in the stomach.

The group turned away fro the sight of such brutality and Kindra started to cry.

After about half an hour of the torture, Yamitah left the house and the guards came and took the injured Bakura away.

Yami said, "I did that?"

Nobody answered as they were all in shock and just when they thought it was over they were transported again. It was p-Bakura's execution.

Kindra yelled, "Noooooooooooo," as Yamitah cut off the past Bakura's head. Kindra collapsed into the present Bakura's arms as the past Bakura's head rolled into the ground. She was unconscious and Bakura picked her up in his arms.

They were transported into Yamitah's room where they saw him crying at his table.

Yamitah froze before them and they thought he had seen them, but luckily he hadn't.

Yami said, "Ra told me that I was destined for a life of sorrow for killing his son. He said that if I repented I would get a chance at a second life. He told me the name of the one who had taken Kindra and where he was, so I set my life's work to close off the shadow realm but I never knew that Kindra was in there. I assumed she was dead."

Yamitah fell unconscious on the ground in front of them and they found themselves back in their time. They checked that they were whole and were happy to find themselves opaque.

Taking a look at their surrounding they were back in Bakura's lounge room so Bakura laid Kindra down on the couch before taking a seat next to her.

Isis said, "That was strange."

Malik said, "And it means that we now know the truth of Bakura, he's the son of Ra."

"Half-human son," absently corrected Kuja.

Shadi said, "I didn't know that there was a spirit in the millennium ring before you."

"Yes but I guess I deserved what happened…I wasn't exactly innocent. I was Bakura's cousin and I was a thief just like him. I stole the millennium ring from a temple and it took me over."

Malik asked, "But what was the spell that Kindra cast so that you could take control?"

Kuja said, "I don't know, but it was powerful enough for her to finish it in the shadow realm."

Everyone looked at the sleeping Kindra and saw her sleeping peacefully as Bakura brushed her cheek.

Neither Bakura nor the sleeping Kindra knew of the attention they were getting each seeming to be in a world of their own.

ALYSSA: Sorry that took so long, its just because I didn't get any reviews that I couldn't be bothered to write. I mean come on one review. I love writing but that's stretching it. Anyway more action next time as this chappie was only to fill in the gaps even if it opened up new ones.
