PT. 9

A LONG RIDE

The gangs return home to pack up for their long trip. Not knowing the dangers that awaits them, they sleep peacefully.

Yugi's House

Yugi puts on his blue and white pajamas, and climbs in to bed. He plays with the puzzle in his hands, wondering if Yami will let him spend the night in his room. He decides he doesn't want to sleep alone tonight so he knocks on Yami's door.

/Yami? Can I spend the night with you, please?/

The door opens slowly Is something the matter aibo?

/Nothing. I just didn't want to sleep alone tonight./

As you wishYami opens his door wide open to let Yugi in.

Yugi stands in awe. Yami's room was huge, really, really huge. The ceiling was filled with all the constellation of the heavens, and giving off a soft light. In the center of the ceiling was the sun, it was reddish orange, and it light up the whole room. There was a huge open veranda with no windows, but had a soft white, see through curtains. And a soft scented breeze fills the room. And in the center of the room, was a huge round bed, with black silk sheets, and lots of black and gold pillows. All around was Ancient Egyptian artifacts, from cats, Gods, and Goddesses, and other miscellaneous stuff. He really felt like he was in Ancient Egypt.

/I like your room Yami, it's cool!/

I'm glad you like it. I made it to look like my old room, but it's quite small though.

/You call this room small! My room is a box compared to this!/

Yami just chuckled. Are you coming to bed or what?

Yugi walks behind him /I'm coming./ Then slides under the silk sheets. /Hmmm so soft. And it smell so good./

Yami sits on the edge of his bed, with his elbows on his knees, and hands under his chin. He seems to be lost in thought.

/Yami? What are you thinking about, please tell me. You haven't said a word to me since we left the hospital./

Yami wakes from his daze. And stares at Yugi blankly.

/Your worried about her, aren't you?/ Yami just nods, and lays down facing Yugi.

/I'm just afraid, that I'll lose her again. I couldn't save her then, and now, it's starting all over again. I hate feeling so . . . helpless./ Pain is in Yami's eyes.

/Yami? Just how did she died? You said she died to save you, but something feels . . . something is just not right./

I don't remember really how she died. I just remember seeing her dead body.Yami sheds a tear. And Yugi kisses the tears away. Yami grabs Yugi in his arms and holds him tightly. Yugi, you wouldn't leave me, will you?

/Never! I would Never Leave you Yami! I love You! I Can't Live without You! I can't picture my Life without You!/ Yugi cries, and burrows his face in Yami's chest.

Yami is shocked, but glad that Yugi finally said what he always wanted to hear from Yugi's own lips.

And I love you my hikari. Without you, I would be eternally lost in the Darkness. All alone for eternity.

He raises Yugi's face leveled to him. And he kisses him deeply, enjoying his sweetness. Yugi does not back up, but kisses him back, with all his love, deep inside him.

Hikari. Are you sure.

/Yes./

But you know, you must know, that I love her as well

/I know./

He smiles sweetly at Yami. /I don't think she'll mind sharing you./

Yami is really shocked now.

And here I thought you were Innocent!

For the weak stomached, Yaoi coming up. Scroll down if you don't like this sort of stuff

Yugi giggles, and strokes gently on Yami's bare chest kissing and tickling his nipples with his tongue. Yami shivers, and rolls Yugi on his back.

I'll get you for that, my little hikari!Yami nibbles Yugi's ears lightly breathing in it slowly and sending chills down Yugi's back. They both teased each other while removing their clothing's one by one. Yami ducks under the sheets, kissing his way downwards. He gently grabs Yugi's member and strokes it like one would mild a cow. (Talk about being graphical!)

He takes the tip in his mouth and tickled it with his tongue, Yugi tenses but yields to Yami's soft touch. Then Yami sucks it in whole, and moves his head up and down in a steady rhythm. Slowly going faster and sucking harder while fondling Yugi's testicles. Yami sense Yugi tensing up and finally he climaxed in one big explosion. Yami greedily sucked in all of Yugi's nectar (calling it seed just sounds disgusting to me). Then he slowly emerged from under the covers. He looks at his aibo, who right now reminded him of a cat just finishing his meal.

You can look again! Yaoi done!

/Yami. That felt . . . so great. I didn't know . . . such a . . . feeling existed./

Yami moves Yugi's bangs away from his face and kissed his forehead.

You should sleep now, we have a long day ahead of us

/But Yami! I want to please you too!/

You are not ready for that, Hikari.

/Or is it you want Her to Please You!/ Yugi said hotly.

Yami says nothing, but looks hurt.

/Sorry Yami. I didn't mean it that way. I didn't mean to hurt you. I just . . . I just wanted to make you happy!/

Aibo, I am happy just by being with you.

/Really?/

Yes Really.

Yugi nestled in Yami's arms and soon falls asleep soundly. Yami looks at his aibo, then drifts of to sleep, his dreams haunts him, he can only see Her, see Her slowly disappearing from his arms.

No! Neftari don't go! Please! Don't leave me all alone again!

Seto's Mansion

Seto had ask Suzama to put Mokuba to sleep. He didn't want Mokuba to see him, not like this. He walks towards Kalika's room. It was right next to his. He had ask his father for it to be that way, he didn't want to share his little sister with anyone. She was his light, his most cherished treasure, his heart. Ever since he could remember, she had always been by his side, like an angle covering her wings around him. But now, she isn't, the house feels so empty without her laughter. And the thought of her never being by his side hurts him deeply. He felt like he had just lost half of himself. "What will I do without you my sunshine?" He thought loudly, hoping she would pop out of her room and hug him tightly. He enters her room and sits next to her near her bed. She is sleeping soundly now, Suzama's potion had work, she no longer is having seizures. He was thankful for that, he couldn't stand looking at her like that. Seto takes her hands to his and kisses it. "Don't worry my sunshine, big brother will do what ever it takes to save you. Even if it takes my life to do it." A single tear falls from his face. When was it last I cried like this, (he remembers) it's when Mother died. "I love you sunshine, please hold on, don't go, I need you, life just won't be the same without you."

Just then there was a knock on the door. "Go to sleep, I'll watch over her. You'll need your rest for it's a long ride." It was Suzama.

"I'm fine. Leave me alone." Was Seto's reply.

"What good would you do her if you are to tired to help her? She will be alright. Now go to sleep." Suzama is firm with her words.

Seto sighs, "Very well, but I'll be here bright and early."

"Don't worry. I'll be here all night. Now go, before I drag You to bed." Seto snorts, but leaves for bed.

Suzama sits where Seto had just sat. She looks at her mistress and prays to all the gods and goddess of Egypt that things will be alright. It had to, if she dies, so will the world. She covers Kalika up and talks to her as if she were awake. "Kalika. You have to be strong. You have to face your fears alone. But don't worry, those you love are all right here waiting for your return. You must come back. You have finally found your love, I doubt he'll forgive himself if he loses you a second time. He does love you, you know, he always have, even until now. Do it for those you love, you must come back to us, to the living." Kalika stirs but does not awaken. "We love you, please come back to us." Suzama kisses Kalika's forehead and sits back down her chair, watching her till morning comes.

The trip begins

"Wow! It must be great to be rich." Joey said as he looked at the Kaiba's mini jet.

"Yeah, think of all the places you can go!" Tristan exclaimed as he lunged his luggage in the cargo hold.

"I didn't know you had your own runway in your back yard! Just how big it your land anyway!" Tea asked as she looked back at the mansion, which looked like a doll house right now.

Yugi looks really excited. It's going to be the first time he'll ride a plane, and leave the island of Japan.

Seto snorts to himself, but he is pleased with himself. "Come on! I want to leave as soon as possible."

Tea looks at Seto, a bit worried, "How is she, and how is she going to travel anyhow?"

"She's laying in a private room in the jet, and she's alright, for now." Seto said turning towards the back of the jet. "Are you ready? It's time to go."

They all board the plane. And settles down on their seat. It's quite big inside, and everybody had their own seats to sit own. Soon the jet rumbles and starts to move, then after awhile they are high above the grounds in the sky.

"Hey! I can see Mt. Fugi from up here, and there's Tokyo Tower. Everything looks so small!" Yugi said excitedly.

"Hey! Your right! cool!" Said the 3. Seto quietly moves to the back room where Kalika sleeps. Yugi sees him and follows. The 3 stayed behind, knowing it's not there place to be there.

Seto sits next to Kalika on her bed. "Were on our way to Egypt sunshine, hang in there okay."

"Seto? Is everything okay?" Yugi peeps in, and spots Kalika still asleep. His Puzzle glows and Yami manifest from behind him. Seto is glaring at him, but says nothing. He stands up, and walks out the door.

"I'll leave you 2 alone, call me if something changes."

Yami nodds and takes his place on a seat besides her. "Yami?" Yugi called out to him. Yami is looking over the sleeping Kalika, "Yes?"

"Umm . . . I'll go sit outside okay." Yugi replied, and left him to be alone with Kalika.

"He's still blames himself for what happened to her. I hope for his sake, she'll be alright." Yugi takes a seat next to Seto, who is just staring out the window.

Yami grabs Kalika's hand and places it on his cheeks, "Hitori ni shi nai de kure onegai da, okite kure." (Don't leave me alone, Please wake up.)

All is quite for now.

In the world of shadows

"Wepwawet! Seto! Yami! Yugi! Where are you! It's so dark and cold here! Someone, anybody, please answer me!" Kalika is yelling out in the dark. Everywhere around her is nothing but darkness. She falls to the ground, tired and crying. "Where is everybody?!" No one answers, there is nothing but silence, a painful silence.

"Am I dead?" She looks around. "Is this Hell?" There are no flames or demons; there is absolutely nothing around her. She hears laughter in the distance, a sound of a little girl laughing. She runs to the source, and there is a Great Door before her. She opens it, and she is surrounded by a bright light.

"Mother! Father! Hurry, Hurry! The parade is going to start without us!" Kalika sees a little girl running in front of her.

"Neela! Stop running! You'll fall down and hurt yourself." Kalika sees a beautiful woman garbed in a white linen dress that reached the floor, and had gold ornament all over her. She looks familiar, shock comes to Kalika's face. "That's . . . me?!"

And behind the woman, a young man is laughing, "Let her be, it's her first time outside the palace gates." It was the Pharaoh Yugioh, and he had the Millennium puzzle around his neck hanging on a gold necklace.

There is concern on the woman's face, "But dear, she's barely 2, she'll get trampled on or worse!"

"Neftari, you need to give her some space to grow, really, your worse than a mother lioness!"

Neftari pouts at her husband. "If she gets hurt, I'll be sleeping in my private room tonight!" The Pharaoh lifts his eyebrows, then smiles at his wife.

"This is my past?!" Kalika walks in front of her past self, but the woman walks through her. "! ! ! What! She just went through me! What's going on! Somebody! Please tell me, What's going on." She runs after them, listening to every word they said. She follows them up a stand where high dignitaries are already sitting, they rise to bow to their Pharaoh and Queen. The Pharaoh raised his hand for them to sit back down. He and His Queen and Princess walks to the edge of the stand. They talk to their people for awhile about this and that (Blah Blah Blah, I'm not good with speeches) and at the end, "Let us enjoy the festivities and pray for a good harvest."

Suddenly a great black cloud looms overhead, rumbling loudly, shaking the grounds. Then all of the sudden dozens of fireballs hurls downward. There is great screaming and crying, as people ran for their lives, half falling and getting trampled on. Then a fireball strikes the stand, hurling The Royal Family to the ground. "Neela! Sweetheart! Please answer me!" The Queen is frantically looking for her missing daughter. The Pharaoh grabs a hold of her, "Have you find her yet?"

"No!"

"I'll go left, you go to the right, return here once you find here!"

They left their separate ways calling out for their missing daughter.

"Neela! Neela! Were are you! This isn't Funny! Come out right now, or I'll have your Father spank you!" The Queen is in tears now, she has wondered the whole length of the street and still no signs of her. "Maybe she's with her Father by now, I should return to the stand." She leaves for the stand, with Kalika close to her heels.

"What's happening? I don't remember this from any of my dreams. I didn't know I had a daughter to start with?"

The Queen is waiting patiently by the stand, and sees the Pharaoh coming, but no Neela with him. She falls to the ground weeping loudly. "Oh Neela, dearest. Where can you be?"

The Pharaoh runs to his fallen Queen. "Don't worry Love. We'll find her. I've sent the soldiers to look for her. Now come, return to the castle, maybe someone has already taken her there." He gives his wife an assuring smile, but inside he prays that what he just said might be true.

The scenes changes, and Kalika is swept off her feet. She is now in the palace, in the Queen's chambers.

"It's been a week! What are you fools doing! You call yourselves the Great Hunters! Get out, get out of my sight, before I have You beheaded!" The Queen screams angrily at the 3 big, tall muscular men. They retreat silently. The Queen paces back and forth in her room, and drops herself on her bed crying even harder that before. "Where Is She? Why Can't We Find Her? Oh Goddess. Please return her to me, Please."

The Pharaoh enters the Queens room. "Dare I say, Have they . . ."

"No" Was the Queen's answer.

"My love, it's been a week, and no sign of her yet. You might want to . . ." The King looks in his beloved's eyes, there is anger in it. She slaps him hard on his cheek, "Don't You Dare Say It! She's Alive! And I won't stop till I Find Her!"

She stares at the Pharaoh, and feels sorry for what she's done. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to . . ." She runs to him, holding him tightly. "I miss her so much, I want her back in my arms. Khalfani, please we must find our daughter." She cries yet again, her heart broken and hopes gone. The Pharaoh hugs her then lifts her chin,

"I swear, We will find her, We will not stop till we do." He kisses her, and carriers her to his chambers. "Sleep my love. Tomorrows another day." He lays her down and kisses her forehead.

Again the scene changes, Kalika finds herself in the Study. Where the pharaoh is shuffling through papers and the Queen is sitting on the window sill staring out blankly.

A servant enters the room. "My lord, a package just came in for you." The servant leaves it on top the Pharaoh desk. It's wrapped in a deep red box and a scarlet red ribbon. Kalika looks at it, and begins to cry for no reason, "No! Don't open it! Please don't open it!" She tries to keep the box from opening, but her hand just goes through it. The Pharaoh pulls the ribbon, and the Queen is behind him looking for what was inside. The box falls open. And the Queen screams, "Nnnnnnnooooooo! It can't be! Nooooooo!" Her heart shatters and faints in the Pharaoh's arms. The Pharaoh catches her and begins to cry, a tears of blood. For in the box contains the head of their beloved daughter.

Kalika screams, her memory rushes past her like a movie on fast forward. And everything was dark again.

Back to the world of light

"Nnoooooo!" Yami can be heard screaming from behind the jet.

The gangs rushes to see what has happened. Seto slams the door open, and Yugi rushes to Yami's side. Yami is crying tears of blood and is shaking uncontrollably. Seto looks at Kalika, she is crying but is still asleep. Yugi leads Yami outside and sits him to a near by seat.

"Yami? What happened? Why are you crying?" Yugi is looking straight into Yami's eye's, but it is blank, there is no feeling of presence in it.

Seto returns, "What happened?"

"I don't know, Yami hasn't said anything yet." Yugi shakes Yami's shoulder. "Yami? I can't help you if you won't speak to me. Please, say something."

Yami returns to consciousness, and looks at the gangs staring at him. "I've just seen my daughter's death." That's all he said, and disappeared in his Soul Room.

There is shock in everyone's face, "Daughter?"

Back to the world of Shadows

Kalika is on the floor crying. "I . . . I did not want to remember this . . . so I hid it in the farthest reaches of my mind. I could not bear the lose of her, I did not want to believe she was gone, so I pretended not to know, hoping one day she'd return to me." She continues to weep, not knowing that a shadow was already in front of her. She stirs at its presence and looks straight at it.

Before her stands a great lioness, and on it sits a girl of 5 or 6 yrs.

"Are you lost little girl?" Kalika asked.

"No." The child said. "Are you?"

Kalika looks around her, there is still darkness all around her. "I guess you can say that. How did you get here little one. You should return to your parents, they must be really sad by now."

"My parents are long, long gone now." Replied the girl.

"Oh, sorry to hear that." Kalika felt sorry she asked.

"It's alright, I'll be with them again, one day."

Kalika asked the child, "Is this Hell or Heaven?"

"Neither"

"What do you mean."

"We are in the dreams of lost memories."

"Dreams of lost memories."

"Yes, this is your memories."

"My memories? But what are you doing here, I've never met you before."

"You have, but I was different then."

"Huh? I don't understand what you mean."

"Don't worry about it. I'm here to help you, that's all." The girl slides down the lioness, and looks at great cat. "Actually, she wanted me to take her to you."

Kalika looks at the lioness, "She wants to eat me or something?"

The little girl laugh, "No, she wants to be your Champion, your Guardian."

The lioness shape changes. She is human-like with a lioness head. She purrs loudly staring at Kalika.

Kalika gasps, "Sekmet?!"

The lioness purrs, "Yes Sealer, I am called Sekmet."

"You want to be my Champion? But your the symbol of the sun! You have no powers within the Shadow Realm. Besides, I can only control those touched by darkness." Kalika lets out a tear, the memory of Wepwawet still fresh on your mind.

"If I'm with you, I can survive the darkest of Realms." Purrs Sekmet. "I need a Summoner, and you need a Champion. Let me into your heart Young Sealer. Time is something we don't have."

"But I don't want to fight you. I don't want to fight no more." Kalika is getting depressed, she is tired of this endless fighting.

"You will let those you love die then?" Purred out Sekmet.

"No! I want them to live! That's why I sacrificed myself long ago. To seal the Darkness, so they can have a chance to a happy life."

"Then accept your fate, Young Sealer. Let me be your Champion. You have already won me long, long ago when you accepted to be a sacrifice to be the Sealer to the Darkness. Let me fight along with you, share you pain with me, your love with me. Let me become one with you, as you did with Wepwawet."

Kalika moves towards Sekmet and looks into the lioness's eyes. It eyes were gold and shining brightly as the sun. Sekmet the lion goddess who personified the fierce destructive heat of the sun, the warrior goddess, maybe there is hope yet, to seal the darkness forever.

Kalika begins to quote,

I am She Who Wields the One

I am the Sealer of Darkness

Come be One with Me

Come be my Champion

Come Sekmet, You Are Now a Part of Me.

Sekmet begins to glow, and out spurts a golden wing from behind her. The spell is complete, She in now one with the Sealer.

Kalika staggers a little, and Sekmet runs to her to support her. Kalika puts her hands on Sekmet cheeks and smiles, "I'm alright, I'm whole now. Will you love me, even though I'm like this. A blundering fool who can't face the truth."

Sekmet purred in her Mistress ears, "What you did, you did out of love, no one blames you for doing what you did. But now, I think you should return to those that love you, someone is waiting for you."

"Okay. Let's go. But what of the child." Kalika looks at the little girl. She for some reason resembled someone she knows, but just can't put a point on it. The girl had dark wavy ebony black hair, her skin is the color of the Egyptian Dessert, and her eyes, her eyes were crimson red. She looks so much like someone . . . who though. Kalika's minds goes blank, she just can't for unknown reason, can't remember.

The girl giggles, "Don't try so hard, it'll come to you later, much, much later. Besides it's not my time yet. You should go now, someone is calling out for you." And with that the girl disappeared like a wind.

SO HOW WAS IT SO FAR? DID YA LIKE IT? HUH? HUH? HUH?

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT TODAY, SO I FIGURE, WHY NOT THERE PAST. YOU'LL NEED TO KNOW IT SOONER OR LATER TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S TO COME ANYWAY.

SO I'LL LEAVE YOU WITH THIS CLIFFHANGER! MWAHAHAHAHA! (JUST WHO IS THAT CHILD ANYWAY!)

PRESS THE PURPLE THINGIE, I LIVE FOR REVIEWS!
