Chapter 10
Sakura had already left for earlier at night to Isis' house, leaving a sleeping Kaiba, Yami, and Yugi.
"I'm sorry you guys. This is beyond understanding now." Said Sakura sofly to the wind. She ran for hours on end, never stopping. She started to see the hut in the distance but tripped. She was on all fours panting for breath now.
"Why can't I reach what I seek??" She looked up still seeing the hut. A wave a nausea swept her suddenly and she knocked out cold while trying to reach out for her destination.
Kaiba awoke with a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach. He looked around. Yami was still sleeping holding Yugi close for warmth. Kaiba jumped up when he realized Sakura wasn't there.
"Sakura? Why do you always run away from the ones who love you the most?" said Kaiba quietly to himself. His shoulders slumped and he sat down heavily. Yami awoke to the glare of the sun on his face. He yawned and looked up to see Kaiba sitting down, staring at the ground.
"Kaiba? What are you doing?" asked Yami. Yami got up to stand before Kaiba, who only glanced and continued to stare.
"None of you business. Wake up Yugi already so we may leave." Yami's eyebrow went up slightly in question.
"And what of Sakura?" Kaiba's eyes narrowed at the ground.
"Don't worry about her. She has already made her intentions clear." Kaiba got up and walked away, not waiting for Yami or Yugi.
"Yugi, wake up now. Sakura and Kaiba has already left." Yami shook his hikari softly. Yugi mumbled.
"What? I can't hear you." Yugi's eyes scrunched up.
"Sakura... No dad! It's not her fault! Don't!" Yugi flaied around in his sleep, kicking, and yelling. Yami quickly shook Yugi trying to wake him.
"Yugi! It's me! It's Yami! Yugi, wake up!!" Yugi kept pushing away and then suddenly he woke up. His eyes were filled with fear and he looked into Yami's eyes, clearly embarrassed.
"Yugi, are you alright? Are you ok??" Yugi nodded slowly and got up. He looked out over the sea of sand.
"Yami. He did more to her than rape her. It was horrible..." Yami listened intently to Sakura's childhood demons. He cried and listened. Yami couldn't say anything. How can she endure all of that? When Yugi finished he turned around to look Yami straight in the eye.
"Heaven is a lie. All there is the memories that plague us in this world." Yami got up and motioned Yugi to follow. Yugi only hid his look of sadness and followed silently.
"Yugi, why are you telling me this?" Yugi tried to hide his face.
"Because, Sakura is not like Siris back then. The past won't repeat and if you really love her, then you need to know what it was like. Just try to understand what happened to her that makes her feel she can link with Kaiba because of common pasts." Yami smiled as they continued to walk.
"Thank you, Yugi."
Kaiba continued to walk, ignoring the beating rays of the sun. It was strange. Kaiba no longer felt the heat of the sun or the weariness in his legs. All he could think about was Sakura. She plagued his mind like a disease. A flash of a pale white skinned girl with light blue hair passed through his mind suddenly. Kaiba stopped, startled.
"Who was that?" Kaiba shook his head ignoring the faint memory of someone from his ancient past and floated back to Sakura. Why does she ignore so? The hut was starting to come into view and a rock that didn't seem to be there was laying on the ground.
"When did that get there?" When Kaiba walked closer he slowly began to realize that was Sakura.
"Sakura?" Kaiba walked faster, worry creeping into his heart. He started to run faster until he stood before her. She was on the ground, almost like she was reaching out for something but not quite getting it. Kaiba picked her up and began to walk towards the hut quickly.
"Isis! I'm hungry!" Mokuba called from the kitchen. Isis got up from the couch and walked towards the refridge.
"What would you like Mokuba?" Mokuba smiled.
"I want a sandwhich!" Isis smiled and pulled out the contents for a sandwhich. She put the stuff on the counter and started to pull out the bread from the package but a sudden premonition came to her. She dropped the bread and gripped the counter for support.
"Isis! Are you alright?" Sweat started to form slightly on her brow. After it had past she rushed to the door and Kaiba was standing there with Sakura in her arms.
"Hurry! Put her on the bed!" Isis stood aside as Kaiba came in and disappeared into the room. Kaiba set Sakura on the bad softly and walked out as soon as Isis came in. Kaiba grunted and left to go sit on the couch. Isis followed his form with her silent eyes and sat beside her mistress.
"Sakura, wake up please." Sakura opened her eyes quickly, as if she waited to hear Isis' voice. Isis got up and wore a expressionless face.
"Sakura, I know what you have done. You just insured an ill fate." Sakura got up suddenly and held Isis off the ground by her neck. Sakura's eyes had brighter tint of red.
"If you so much as tell a soul, you will lose all that you hold dear and more. Heed my words priestess. I will not hold myself back no longer." Sakura's other arm was to her side and her hand was slowly becoming claws. Yami burst in and Sakura quickly changed back and dropped Isis, who started to cough, as air whoshed into her lungs once more.
"Sakura! What is the meaning of this?!" Sakura laughed evilly.
"He comes. Go pharaoh and greet our guest." Suddenly there was a yelp from Yugi outside and Yami rushed to aid him. Sakura only chuckled as she walked out of the room.
"Father! No! Leave us alone!" Yugi went to go hide behind Yami as soon as he entered the living room. Kaiba observed the spectacle from his spot. A well muscled man stood in the doorway with black hair and tan skin. His maroon eyes narrowed at the sight of his son. Sakura walked in calmly with a smirk on her face.
"Finally, I've waited so long. So, where shall it happen at?" The man only barked out laughter which made Sakura scowl.
"You still want to do this?" He laughed more.
"I see my daughter hasn't learned her leason yet! I'll see to it that you learn well this time..." The man had a dark look about him. Sakura only glowered at him. Yami stepped between them.
"If you so much as lay a finger on her, I'll kill you personally." Kaiba decided to rise then. Sakura watched him out of the corner of her eye as he left to the kitchen. Well that proves how much he cares...
"Meet me in Japan, at that park, at midnight. There we will settle our business. If you don't come..." He grabbed Yugi by the arm and held him high. "Then your little brother will suffer your pains."
"Yugi!" cried out Yami. He tried to take back Yugi from the man but her only laughed. Yami's powers where having no effect on him. Yami finally stood beside Sakura, panting for breath. His power usage exhausted him. The man only smirked and left with little Yugi over his shoulder. Yugi tried to get out of his grasp and reached out for Sakura.
"Sakura! I know you'll beat him! Just please don't get hurt! I'll be fine!" The man and Yugi disappeared in thin air, leaving Sakura alone with Yami panting beside her. Mokuba rushed in and hugged Sakura tight.
"I was so scared he'd hurt you! Come on! We have to save Yugi!" Sakura only stared at the spot they disappeared. Isis came from the room.
"You know as well as I do what will happen. You can only blame yourself for your blood lust." Sakura laughed.
"Just try and break my habit." Sakura's eyes turned bright red and her hair floated about her as her power gathered.
"Isis, what do you see? Is this my last battle?" Kaiba was standing in the kitchen doorway now watching Sakura intently.
"My queen... Go now. You are losing precious time." Isis watched on in silence as Sakura nodded and turned to leave. Her power slowly rising and her eyes still glowing bright red.
"Mokuba, I'm transporting you to the mansion. Don't expect to see me anymore." Kaiba tried to say something in protest but Sakura had already waved her hand and sent Mokuba home. She looked at Kaiba.
"Do you want to come or would you like to stay at your mansion?" Yami stood by Sakura expectantly.
"I will come." Said Kaiba quietly. Sakura nodded and slowly then disappeared along with Kaiba and Yami. Isis watched in silence.
"My Queen.... Why does your memories plague you so?" Isis sighed and turned to go make herself a sandwhich in the kitchen.
Sakura looked around until she spotted the park entranceway. Yami already was walking towards it.
"My hikari isn't here. Shall we wait then?" Sakura scoffed and followed. Kaiba only watched then followed. Is it me or is Sakura's eyes a little on the redder than usual? He shook his head, dispelling the thoughts. Sakura looked around and a memory hit her hard. She moaned and grabbed her head in pain, her eyes wide. Kaiba was surprised and rushed to her side. Yami also rushed to her side and the two men glared at eachother.
"Hands off her you prick. She isn't owned by you." Said Kaiba angrily.
"And you don't own her either." Sakura moaned again and slumped to her knees stopping all arguments.
"Yami! They have come back! Stop! It's too much..." Sakura screamed out and she fell on all fours. Yami helped her up and lent her support. Kaiba only scoffed and turned. Damn Yami! He's always getting in the way. Sakura was panting, her eyes their usual shade again, and full of silent cries of help. Yami helped her to a park bench and kneeled before her, holding one of her hands in his own.
"Sakura, what happened? What came back to you?" Sakura looked into his maroon eyes and looked away, pulling her hand from his.
"It's nothing. It's nothing I can't handle." Sakura got up and walked away, towards a pair of bushes on the other side of the park. Yami started to follow her and Kaiba also.
"Sakura, you might as well tell me!" Sakura only increased her pace ignoring them.
"Sakura! You can't keep running away from your problems! Your thinking about what happened behind those bushes aren't you! With those men and women!" Sakura stopped and turned around slowly with big eyes. She was shocked. Kaiba was surprised also. How can I know less than Yami about the woman I'm in love with? Sakura's eyes took on their glowing red hue again.
"How did you know?" asked Sakura deathly calm. Yami froze.
"From your brother. Sakura I'm sorry but I needed to understand you better." Sakura almost knocked Kaiba and Yami down with the burst of energy she put out.
"You don't know shit! You only know what is told to you by others! Have it ever occurred to you to talk to me instead talking about me behind my back! Did it ever occur to you that I rather die then let anyone know what happened! Do you really think I'm happy the way I am!!" She sent out so much energy at once that Yami was knocked down and Kaiba struggled to stand. Sakura calmed down more and stopped sending out energy. Yami got up with a tint of fear in his eyes. Sakura was still full of anger and stood glaring at Yami.
"I'm sorry Sakura. Anything I can do to make this up to you?" Sakura let her energy fall.
"No matter what happens, you will not interfere with anything unless I'm dead. Swear on your father's grave. Swear it!" Yami's shoulders slumped in defeat.
"I can't...." Sakura glared.
"You asked what you could do and this is what you can do. You must swear for my safety and Yugi's along with yours. Swear it!" Yami looked down, shadows covering his eyes.
"I swear." Sakura smirked evilly, the red in her eyes slowly getting a little more brighter red. She started to walk towards the bushes but paused.
"Kaiba, don't interfere either. You will only cuase us all to risk our lives instead of just me." She continued towards her destination. Kaiba only scoffed and looked over at the defeated Yami.
"You cuased her to be more angry and more hateful towards herself. Is it just me or has something changed in her?" asked Kaiba worriedly. Yami looked up into Kaiba's cold blue eyes.
"She has been possessed by her own anger and hatred. She has lived this moment her whole life and now it just turned around on her." Kaiba sighed.
"At least she's mad at you and not me." Said Kaiba flatly. Yami smirked.
"Well, I won't be the one to yell at if something gets in the way now." Yami chuckled and made Kaiba scowl. They continued on their way to follow Sakura.
Sakura stood before the bushes and waved them aside with a wave of her arm then continued forward. A lake was now in view that was in the secluded area. A boulder was not too far from it's shore. She sat on the boulder waiting for the boys.
"I told you! For the last time, I am not gay!" Yami entered the clearing first, arguing with Kaiba. They stopped their arugment as soon as they saw Sakura and just went quiet. Sakura raised an eyebrow in question.
"So, who's gay?" Kaiba smirked and pointed to Yami.
"I am not GAY!" Sakura smirked also.
"One who denies first is the one who did it." Yami sighed throwing up his hands.
"Why do you two think I'm gay?" Kaiba only chuckled.
"You slept with Yugi and you seem alfully attached to the poor boy. A little to attached in my opinion." Sakura smiled.
"Yea, I have noticed that. You two aren't that bad of a couple but I doubt Yugi is like that." Yami fumed but did not pursue the subject. Sakura got up and prepared to leave.
"Well, it's time for me to take my leave. I have to prepare. You two stay here until I come back." Kaiba smirked.
"You can't tell me what to do. If you leave, I leave too." Sakura only looked at him with a lazy look.
"What are you? My lap dog?" Kaiba growled.
"Ah, I see. So you growl like one too." Said Yami, smirking. Sakura left to her apartment just down the street. She threw open the door and walked into her room. She opened a drawer and slipped on a black leather suit and rummaged through her drawer looking for something.
"Come on... Where is it..." She finally found a black mask shaped like a cat. She slipped it on as well and turned her fingers as claws also.
"At least I'll be able to adorn my forgotten past from America." She chuckled and tore off the mask. She threw away the mask onto her bed.
"I must forget such petty things. This is not the past but the present so live it!" Sakura scolded herself and left to go back to the park. She tied her hair up into a ponytail and stepped into the clearing for Yami and Kaiba to see. They gaped in surprise but it was Kaiba who recovered first.
"Sakura! What has happened to you!" Sakura smirked evilly and closed out all her senses of emotions and feelings. Yami sensed the change.
"You are not Sakura. What have you done with her?" She laughed.
"She is locked within the depths of her own soul. I am Sakura, just the darker side of her." She continued to mock them with a smirk.
"Enough chit chat. Don't talk to me." She stood beside the boulder, with her back to them and kept her eyes closed. She started to gather energy until midnight. Yami continued to argue with Kaiba about their sexual interests.
"Ah, so you decided to show up early. Well good thing I decided to show up now so you don't have to listen to their shit anymore." Yami and Kaiba glared at the man. Sakura got up and opened her eyes slowly.
"Cut to the point. Give back Yugi and we shall continue this fight." The man smirked.
"Awww... Baby don't wanna play? Why don't you fight me in your real form? Too scared they'd reject you for what you are?" Sakura clenched her fists and made no argument. Yami and Kaiba glared at the man some more then looked at Sakura in question.
"Sakura, what is he talking about?"
