Reincarnation of Souls Chapter 17: Horizon
The remainder of the Day remains. Awaiting until Nightfall
"Sun...makes a flower...grow...Rain makes an oasis...go...turtles shell's make them slow..."
The voice was low, sad, and shaken. However, Yugi's voice carried off through the halls, and down the halls of the palace. Warm blood ran slowly down the wall's, covering the copper stains that already existed. It pooled down onto the floor. Yugi's head was bent over in exaustion. He no longer felt the spikes that penetrated his skin. In fact...he did not feel any physcial pain at all. His eyes were warm, and streaming. Tears slowly dripped down the boy's cheeks onto the floor below.
He slowly picked up his head to gaze across the room. Anzu had fallen asleep. Her legs were drawn to her chest, and her breathing was light, quick and shallow.
Yugi gazed at Anzu, with wide solemn eyes. What had happened? "Miss. Anzu..." he whispered. Even speaking was painful, however song always made a person feel good. That was what Yami told Yugi. And Yugi believed that.
Anzu stirred, and slowly lifted her head. Her own eyes had withered to a dull blue. They stared blankly at Yugi, as if he wasn't even there. An ornament hanging from a wall. "Yes" she said softly. Her own voice was cracked and soft. There was no point yelling for aid. Yami had sent everyone from the palace. Even Ra seemed to turn his back on her.
Yugi's bangs were plastered to his forehead from the immense heat. Sweat ran down his face and neck, and fell into his eyes, stinging slightly. "Miss Anzu...what happened to Yami?"
Anzu inclined her head slightly to the door. "Left. He may return any moment. I would not know"
The boy gazed at the door directly in front of him. He shook his head stubbornly and looked back at Anzu. "No, that was not Yami" he said slowly, firmly all the same.
Anzu bowed her head again, exaustion from the position the chains held her. "Off course it was Yugi! Who else would it be?!" she exclaimed. The girl balled her hands into fists, and tugged, attempting to yank the chains from the wall. They wouldn't budge, and she expected them not to. She sighed, defeatedly. "I trusted him. I cared deeply for him...only Anubis can judge our hearts now."
Yugi gazed out onto the balcony. The sun was blood red, approaching the horizon."That man took Yami...I know it Anzu! I-" his voice slowly diminished to an exausted whisper. "Yami is my friend...He helped me...I need to rescue him" he pleaded.
Anzu looked up again. Tears of her own were now coursing down her cheeks. Her body shook slightly with the pain. Anzu's eyes were deep and hurt. "Why Yugi?!" she exclaimed. "He cannot be helped! We cannot do anything! He will be judged when the time comes and his soul will be locked! He will be forced to endure years of torture of his own insecurity and memories! It will serve him right! How can you still act like he has not done anything?!" she cried.
Yugi gazed at Anzu sadly. Through his own blurred eyes, he saw the girl bring her knees up to her chest, and try to rest her forehead on them. She sobbed silently now. Her own blood formed a puddle beneath her and stained her skin red.
"I don't know" he whispered. "But...he told me that love was when you trusted another with everything. And I still do...I am sorry Anzu"
Anzu didn't answer. Instead she closed her eyes, and leaned back. Her chest heaved from her attempts to breath properly.
i"Song is rejoice Yugi" Yami once told him. "With it, you can heal another, wish another good luck, or to bring inspiration on all those you want to help"i
i"Master Yami..." Yugi whispered guiltily, clutching onto a corner of Yami's robes. "I do not know any songs" Yami laughed, and pulled Yugi to his side in a one arm hug./i
i"Well then...you need to know a song then!" Yami exclaimed. "This one is my favorite" He told Yugi, bringing him out onto the balcony. "It helps me to understand the meaning of the world's people, their fears...desires..." He smiled down to Yugi. "It starts out very silly, but it does have some depth to it...would you like to learn?"/i
iYugi nodded, staring up at Yami with wide curious eyes./i
iYami chuckled, and sat down on the bench, and patted next to him to invite Yugi to sit beside him./i
i"Okay" he said. "This is how it goes.....'Sun makes a flower grow...Rain makes an oasis grow...Turtle's shell's make them slow..Oh But if-' "/i
"Oh but if whenever the light has dimmed...from your weary eyes" Yugi sang. Anzu slowly opened her own eyes.
iThere will be someone to wipe your tears, and hold you when you cry.../i
Ryou had fallen asleep onto Shadii's shoulders as the pair rushed across the sands, toward the capital. Shadii cluctched the reigns of the camel in fear, and glanced worriedly at the sun as it slowly sank beneath the sands. His eyes were hard, his face set and ready. His key jangled from his neck. Shadii clucked at the camel, and gave it a kick to quicken its pace. "At the end of the second day..." the man whispered.
iAnd if life had brought a beast within yourself...I will hold you strong within my arms...My heart will never fade/i
Yami had begin to run as the sky began to turn a dusky purple. He allowed the hood of his cloak to fall onto his back. The stone buildings of the capital began to rise out of the sand as Yami approached the capital. His eyes flew to the tall palace. The man allowed himself a slight smirk as he approached the city's gates...
