. Forgotten Memories .
"Bring her in." the Pharaoh called.
I was led into a brightly lit room that was gold and white. It was the Pharaoh's room and I was to tend to him. I wore white garments down to the floor and had many golden bracelets on.
"Pharaoh don't be so distressed, you have done many good things for your kingdom." I bowed to him when he saw me.
"I have every right to be distressed with the evil that is hidden in my kingdom that is making it self known. How do I stop it? How do I protect my people?" the Pharaoh ran his fingers through his hair.
I went closer to him. "You will find a way Pharaoh, I know you will. For now just relax, there is only so much a young Pharaoh like yourself can do. You are only my age Pharaoh and you need your rest." I led him to his bed and made him sit down.
I looked into the Pharaoh's distressed purple eyes. The Pharaoh looked back into my brown eyes. He lent closer to me, I into him. Our lips touched gently together, neither of us backed away. We started kissing more and more, finally my mind jolted. I backed away from him. He looked at me intently I turned my back to the young Pharaoh.
"We can't do this you're the Pharaoh and its wrong. Go to bed and forget about the kingdom for now, you will take care of it in the morning." I walked out of the room. A large eagle like creature waited for me outside the Pharaoh's room.
"Are you alright little one?" it asked me.
"I'm fine Ra just confused at the moment." I walked with my guardian through the halls. I stared at the hieroglyphics as we walked along.
"What happened little one?" Ra asked the question I was wondering myself.
"Well, I don't know. I stared into the Pharaoh's eyes and he stared at mine then we kind of kissed. I backed away once I realized what I was doing." I confessed to him.
"Sounds to me like you have feelings for the Pharaoh, little one." laughed Ra.
"Well you're not helping me here. You know I'm not allowed anything to do with the Pharaoh except serve him." I plucked one of Ra's fathers.
Ra gave a small scream of anger. I gave Ra the evil eye.
"Don't look at the Pharaoh anymore then or try and avoid him." Ra watched a beetle scurry across the floor.
"You're right but I can't avoid him so I won't look at him." I gave a heavy sigh.
I didn't look at the Pharaoh the next few days. He approached me once or twice but I just went on with my work.
"Moonshine, why won't you look or speak to me anymore?" the Pharaoh stood in front of me one morning when I was caught alone doing my studies.
"I have no need to." I continued with my studies.
"Look at me." He said.
I didn't look or glance at him, I just continued with what I was doing.
"I order you to look at me." he raised his voice a little.
It was an order from the Pharaoh I had to obey. I looked into his purple eyes but not deep into them.
"Tell me why." He said as he sat down by me on the floor.
"We weren't suppose to kiss each other; you are the Pharaoh you're not suppose to. I didn't want that to happen but it did." A tear slid down my face.
"I know how you feel for I feel the same. You gave me the idea on how to help my people with your kiss." He wiped the tear away and touched my face gently. "I know what I must do to help the people but I will never see you again if I do this."
"We will find each other again one day but you must help the people first." I put my hand on top of his and gave a slight smile.
"Yes, you're right we will find each other again one day." He lent closer and kissed me.
He backed away from the kiss and stood up. "Until that day." He walked away from me for the last time.
That day the Pharaoh sacrificed himself for his people and was never forgotten for that.
I woke up, my head throbbed. I was still thinking about the dream I had. I looked at my nightstand at was 7:00am I had to get ready for school. I looked around my room and saw a uniform hanging on my door. I looked at it in antipathy, a pink shirt and a blue skirt hung in front of me. I had no choice but to put it on. Once it was on I looked in the mirror, it wasn't my colour that was for sure. I grabbed everything I needed for school and headed downstairs.
"Your awake." My aunt said in surprise.
"Yeah, I'm up. What the hell happened last night?" I started eating what was on the table.
"Well we waxed the floors and you came home. Albert crashed into you when he reached the bottom of the stairs. You hit your head on the floor and went out cold. Albert was perfectly fine though." She gave a small smile.
"I'm going to kill him when he gets home!" I screamed.
"Ash you're up." My uncle walked in once I was done screaming. "We have another meeting with the museum tonight after school."
"You handle it today; I'm going any where my friends are going. If they're still my friends. Then I'm going to kill your son." I walked out of the kitchen.
"Hold on Ash I'll give you a ride to school." My uncle held up his newspaper.
"It's alright I'll take my motorcycle." I said to him and shut the front door in his face.
I got on my motorcycle and started it up. My uncle came outside and yelled something at me but I couldn't hear him. I just waved goodbye and left him standing there on the front porch.
When I arrived at school the first bell already rang so I parked and locked up my motorcycle. I walked in the front doors and nearly got shot with a spit-ball. That's when I saw him; Ryou was walking alone to class. I ran up behind him.
"Well you're a sight for sore eyes." I put an arm around his shoulder.
Ryou just stared at me like I was crazy.
"What? Never had a girl be glad to see you before?" I asked as I let go of him.
He looked away from me and mumbled. "No never."
"Hey Ryou think fast." someone yelled.
Ryou and I turned around on our heel. A tennis ball was flying through the air straight at Ryou's face. I quickly stuck out my hand without thinking. The ball landed in my hand and I could tell that it was whipped by how much pain I was feeling. I looked at Ryou; his eyes were shut obviously waiting for the pain of the ball.
"If you want to do something to Ryou you're going to have try harder then that when I'm around." I smirked and whipped the ball at the boy who threw it.
It hit him in the stomach since he was to slow to catch it. The boy fell to the ground in pain.
"Ryou come on or we'll be late." I grabbed his hand and we went to class.
His face blushed crimson red when I grabbed his hand and he didn't seem to look at me.
That day went on as any other boring school day and the only person I talked to was Ryou except when I had to talk to the teacher.
After school I decided to go to the game shop and apologize to Yugi for my rude behaviour the day before. I entered the game shop with ease.
"Is Yugi here?" I asked Yugi's grandpa.
"His upstairs with Joey playing duel monsters. Just go up those stairs, turn right, and go down the hall. Yugi's room is the last one on the left. You can just walk right in." His grandpa smiled.
"Thank you." I smiled back to him.
I did what Yugi's grandpa told me. I went up the stairs turned right went down the hall and stopped at Yugi's door. I turned the handle and swung the door open.
There I saw Yugi and Joey making out on the bed, all their clothes were still on, they were just kissing. I made a sound in the back of my throat so they would notice I was here. They both looked up shocked that someone was standing at the door.
"Have you ever heard of knocking?" Joey yelled when he saw me.
"Joey." Yugi said while getting up off the bed.
"Tell anyone 'bout this and I'll wring your neck." Joey threatened me.
"Go ahead and try, I'm protected you know. Kill or harm me and Ra will hunt you down. I came here to apologize to Yugi for my behaviour yesterday and what do I get an untrusting friend." I said this with anger and sorrow in my heart. "Good day."
"Ash wait up! Joey apologize to her." I heard Yugi say as I walked down the hall and out of the shop.
'I hate him.' I thought with all my heart.
(Why did you bring me into this?) Asked Ra gently as I hopped on my motorcycle.
'Well if he hurt or killed me you would go after him. Wouldn't you?' I paused a second.
(Anything to protect you little one.) Ra finally answered.
'Little one I remember being called that before. It's like a memory but also like a dream.'
(Ah, you finally remember who you were in your past life.) I could feel Ra smiling.
'I only remember being called little one, kissing a Pharaoh, and him sacrificing himself for the people.' I recalled this to Ra.
(Those were your last memories of the Pharaoh being alive. You were very fond of him.)
'I know I somehow can feel the pain and heartache of him being dead. Yet I know his alive somewhere close by.'
(Well maybe he's somewhere you didn't expect.)
'Yeah maybe but I hope he remembers me if and when I find him.' My heart went into a deep pain that wasn't heartburn.
I drove home quickly so I could kill Albert. When I entered the house someone was yelling in happiness. I walked into the living room to find Albert prancing around like a fairy.
"Who died and made you so happy?" I asked in my misery voice.
"No one died stupid." He gave me his 'I'm better than you' tones. "My first progress report was all A's thank you very much."
"Oh really, what did you get A's in getting your ass kicked, being a total moron, over all stupidity, and being a total snob?" I acted like I was interested but my voice gave me away.
"No, Math, Science, Geography, and French." He spat at me.
"Alright then genius I hope you know your fly's undone." I walked away from him.
I heard him cursing at me for just being me. I walked to the kitchen with a smirk on my face.
"Ash, could you get down to the museum and help your uncle? Apparently he's having trouble with one of the people with the new exhibit." My aunt hang up the phone.
"Sure why not its better then hearing the fairy prance around. First let me change out of these hideous clothes that they called a uniform. Oh, yeah do you think you could get another uniform from the school? Possibly that doesn't have pink." I started upstairs.
My aunt just nodded her head.
I went upstairs and change then went to the museum. When I stepped inside the building two policemen tried getting me back outside until my uncle got me.
"What's the problem with the exhibit this time?" I asked with a dull voice.
"Well when we were in the meeting, apparently someone strolled in here and stole something. It's something they call the millennium tauk, very valuable to them and to someone named Isis Ishtar." My uncle explained to me without the fine details.
"I know about the millennium tauk and Isis Ishtar so you don't have to explain them to me. Are there any ideas on who stole it?" I tried to be concerned.
"No. No one has any ideas on who it is yet." My uncle sighed.
"Where's Isis Ishtar right now? I want to talk to her." I asked my uncle.
"In the exhibit with her little brother Malik." My uncle answered.
I walked into the exhibit and looked around. Police were everywhere taking pictures and talking to some people. Finally I spotted Isis talking to someone with white hair and lavender eyes, he looked very familiar. It finally dawned on me who it was. I headed towards Isis and stopped in front of her.
"Isis Ishtar." I started. "Can I talk to you?"
"Go away kid, I'm not in the mood to play games." She put her head in her hands.
"Don't call me a kid." My blood boiled. "Listen I'm here to ask you some things about the millennium tauk."
"Listen kid." She looked at me. "There's nothing you can do about this so let the police handle it."
"Quit calling me a kid!" I yelled at her. "I want to talk to you right now and if you don't I'll take the next best person, Malik." I looked at him.
Isis looked from me to Malik and back to me. "Fine I'll talk to you but I don't see what you can do."
I led Isis and Malik to an empty conference room.
'Do you want to talk to them Ra?' I asked.
(Alright I'll come out and see them.) He replied.
"Isis, Malik don't be alarmed when my guardian comes out." I told them before hand.
They just looked at me in confusion, but I ignored it. There was a blinding light and Ra appeared by me. Isis took a step back. Malik just looked at Ra then at me.
"Sit down this is going to take a while." I sat in one of the chairs.
"What is that?" Isis asked while pointing to Ra.
"This is Ra, he's my guardian." I smiled at her.
"Where did he come from?" Malik asked with no quiver in his voice.
"It's a long story that I won't get into but he came from his soul room that's in my head." I tried to explain it but I couldn't much. "Anyway can you tell me who you think might have stolen the millennium tauk?"
"Either Shadi or that damn tomb robber; I think it was that fucking tomb robber and his damn millennium item." Isis shouted with pure anger.
"I don't think Shadi would steal the item." Ra inputted.
"Why not?" Malik asked with a hint of anger.
"Because I know for a fact that Shadi protects tombs and punishes any robber he catches." Ra said while looking at me. "You should know that little one."
"Sorry Ra I forgot about him for a moment." I apologized. "Ra is right Shadi probably didn't do it so it must have been this tomb robber you're talking about. Who is this tomb robber anyway?"
"Some damn white haired kid with the millennium ring around his neck. You better hope that you find the asshole before I do or you'll find a dead mutilated tomb robber some where in the fucking city!" Isis expressed her anger.
"Listen Isis the only white haired person I know other then your brother is a fiend of mine and he wouldn't do such a thing." I told her about Ryou without saying his name.
"I don't care about who the hell it is! I want my millennium item back!" Isis got up and left.
"Is your sister always like that?" I asked Malik after I gave a heavy sigh.
"Nah, you just saw her lovable side." Malik gave a sarcastic answer. "Hey want to do something tomorrow night?"
"Um....I...I...sure why not?" I felt my face starting to blush.
"Alright I'll pick you up. What school do you go to?" Malik stood up.
"Domino High, why?" I was still blushing.
"We'll get something to eat when you finish school or something. Sound alright?"
I just nodded shyly because I was afraid to say anything stupid.
"See you tomorrow." Malik left the room with those last words.
I let out a long sigh of relief.
"Are you really going to go with him tomorrow?" Ra asked in a serious tone.
"Yeah, Malik seems really nice and he doesn't seem to mind that I'm younger then him." I told Ra. "Why do you ask?"
"I don't trust him, there's something about him I don't like."
I laughed. "Ra you don't trust anyone but me remember."
I eventually left the museum after I talked to some police officers about what people had said. I flopped down on my bed and drifted off to sleep.
