Me: well, after much deliberation, I have finally re-done the first three chappies! *grins triumphantly* If you had read the first chapter one two and three (with Baku-chan beating up his hikari...*shifty eyes*) I strongly recommend that you go back and re-read them. They are done much better and adds to the plotline! ^^ Victory is mine!! Muah! Muah!
Everyone: *backs away slowly*
Me: *eyes them evily* Do you think I'm strange?
'Leanne: Nonsense. You'll have to excuse us, however, as we back away to what we deem to be a safe distance.
Me: *eyes start to water* Sniffle...I feel so unwanted...
Disclaimer: you can only sue Erin-chan for using Yu-Gi-Oh! characters without proper authorization from Kazuki Takahashi. You may not, however, sue her for her original characters (Shinu, Kyokae, 'Leanne ('Leanne: hey!! I ain't no OC! I' m her yami!) ) *rolls eyes* ...or for the plotline.
Warning: Yeah. Right. Whatever you say, Disclaimer...
Disclaimer: you challenging me? Huh? Huh??
Warning: *promptly knocks Disclaimer out with frying pan* Well, fear the horrid shonen-ai, reference to yaoi (which I would write, however, I'm restricted to writing PG-13 until I get some experience in that matter) and again, a very yarou-ish Marik. Okay? Okay.
Me: Oh, and I'm included in this chappie, too! ^^ Yay! I'm in Ryou-chan's art class!
Ryou: *shudders*
*
Marik turned back to face his counterpart. "The only thing we might have a problem with is getting them where they need to be." He took out an ancient-looking map.
Mae sweatdropped slightly. "How long have you had that, Marik? For three thousand years, or something?" She shook the question off. "Yeah. How are we gunna get them to the next continent without them suspecting something? Especially if it's our homeland? After that?"
The dark lowered his head. "Don't worry 'bout that. As far as I know, Malik is still a friend. He can invite them or something." She raised her eyebrow. "He will. I can make him. You know what you have to do in my place, right?"
Shinu shuddered at the sudden frigid breeze. Why did Marik pick this place? "Yes, and no." She turned her head towards the groung beside her. "But you do realize what, or should I say, /who/ I'll have to deal with in order to fufil the requirements."
He straightened his back. "Yes, but I would like to start with what you're sure of first. Then we can address your trifle fear of the high priest and what you don't know. What do you know?"
"I do know that I'll have to lure Bakura into the pyramid with his stupid hikari as bait." She pointed to the map. "You'll have to take care of that. But-" She stopped. "I don't want /anything/ drastic done with, or to him, understand?" Marik rolled his eyes. "Got it, Marik? I don't want to have to deal with a Bakura like that. If you're not careful, it could ruin everything." Shinu backed up. "Then I'll have to keep constant surveillance on them, making sure they get were they need to end up. That would be the king's chamber, correct?"
Marik nodded again. "Yes. The king's chamber in the center. You make sure you don't end up there instead, all right? The result would /not/ be pretty." The darkness of the shadow realm began to envelop them. "Remember, the pyramid's right in between Kuru-Eruna and Deir El-Medina*. That's where I will place Ryou." He had just noticed that the realm was sending him back. "Well, I guess we'll have to talk about the rest some other time. And I /will/ see you here again, correct?"
She nodded subtly. As Mae disappeared into the reality world, she got a last wave of Marik's energy. It was lined with hatred and, what slightly surprised her, deceit. She grinned. "Ah, maybe this'll be more interesting then I originally planned on if he's not telling me something. The last flash of the dank place wavered in her mind.
Bakura would pay for what happened almost three thousand years ago. Whether it cost everything or nothing to her.
*
Yami no Yuugi lay on their bed thinking about the past day. Finding Mae had been one thing, finally realizing who she was after he got home to his hikari was another. The infamous Mae. Why hadn't it struck him earlier? She had been rumored to have been a never-ending spirit. Instead of entering the realm of Osiris the first time, she had been granted, or granted herself, Yami wasn't sure, permanent immortality. Maybe as a punishment? He didn't know. Well-
"Yami! It's four in the morning. Why aren't you asleep /yet/?" Yuugi lay on his side, staring at the former pharaoh and present yami with blurry eyes. "Is something bothering you, or something? Tell me."
What was the real problem, anyway? Yami shook his head. Yuugi was pure in heart; he didn't need to carry the burden of what might come to be soon. "No, nothing's wrong, Yuugi. I'm just a bit restless, that's all." He nuzzled his lips into the hikari's soft hair. "Don't worry about it. I'll be fine."
The hikari didn't buy it. "I dunno, Yami. You came home really late yesterday and didn't keep the link. Then before that you rushed off to Ryou-kun's house without telling me why without even coming home from downtown this afternoon. I really think you're trying to keep something from me." He stared into his crimson eyes. "I'm not as naive as you apparently think I am."
"I-it's nothing, Yuugi. Really. Try and get some sleep now, alright?" He wouldn't tell him. There was nothing he could do, anyway.
Yuugi sighed in defeat. He's keeping something from him. Why wouldn't Yami tell him anything? Did he think that Yuugi was too innocent and naive about the world, or something? He was not a little boy anymore, and it seemed that Yami no Yuugi hadn't noticed yet. "Do you not trust me with things that you're not sure that I could handle? There's something that's happening now that you don't want me to know about."
Yami backed up. "Yes, Yuugi. Something is happening. I don't feel it involves you and wish to leave it at that. It's not that I don't think you can handle it, I just think you should look at your exams coming up in school." Yuugi sighed again.
/It's the same thing, Yami.../
//...// Yami got up and muttered something about wanting to go for a walk. Yuugi watched him exit their room, flopping onto his bed. Exams were not an excuse. His yami knew perfectly well that he was doing fine in high school. Rolling onto his side, the small boy closed his eyes for the second time that night.
/I wish you would tell me.../
*
It was about four in the morning when Ryou fell asleep. After that, he was thoroughly exhausted, but happy. His yami had kept him after firmly in his arms, sometimes kissing his pale skin.
"Ai-shiteru." Bakura then closed his eyes and buried his mind into the depths of his soul room, dreaming of beautiful valleys of lost kings and deep forests infused with mystical beings. His mind was at rest, and the days of suffering long past were finally out of his mind now. It didn't matter that Mae was back as long as Ryou wasn't hurt. Marik had deceived him, and Bakura hated him for it. But Ryou was still here, so it was all okay.
As his consciousness was taken from him, the embrace he held Ryou in slackened, even just by a bit.
*One week later*
"Ugh, I hate exams..." The light-haired boy rubbed his temples with slender fingers.
"Yeah, tell me about it... my sensei, Moyer-san wouldn't let us leave the room or anything until /everyone/ was done. And you know how slow that strange girl at the back is... Isn't her name Erin, or something?" Yuugi chuckled.
The albino laughed lightly. "Yeah, she's in my art class. For some reason she can't stop drawing manga..." He shook his head; still rubbing his temples. "She keeps looking at me strangely for some reason, though. Gives me the creeps, really. Almost all of her drawings include this odd harpy with black-tipped hair...don't ask..."
"Yeah, that's her alright." The pair walked down the hall, heading towards the front exit for lunch outside, talking and laughing about the manga-crazed girl.
*
Ryou jumped at the sudden ringing of the last bell. Blinking twice, he noticed that Yuugi had already finished and was waiting at the edge of his desk. Looking over his shoulder, Ryou saw the strange girl still looking confused at the first question, before she looked up and started to stare at him again.
"Eep!" Ryou spun back around fairly quickly. Shuddering, he stood up and handed the paper into Farrar-san and, taking one last glance at the brown-haired classmate, he hurried out the door with Yuugi.
"She's scary..." Yuugi just rolled his eyes and tried to keep close to his friend's fast pace. Pushing open the front door, Ryou asked the other boy if he would like to come over.
"Uh, sure, Ryou-kun. I don't think Yami will mind much, I guess." He shoved his hands in his pockets. "It's not like he'd tell me anything more. Maybe you and Bakura can answer some of my questions..."
Ryou looked at Yuugi in question. "About what? Why wouldn't Yami tell you?"
"I dunno...that's one of my questions... Let's just wait until we get there, though. I think some can only be answered by your yami."
"Oh, alright. Here, let's take the shortcut through the park, then. It goes right past this pretty little lake with white fish in the middle of a cluster of trees." Ryou smiled reassuringly at Yuugi. But what could he possibly want to know? Oh well. There were a few things Ryou wanted answered, too, anyway. "Are you sure I couldn't handle any on my own, though?"
"Well, I guess there are. Like, you never used to let me walk home with you. Was there any other reason then your yami?"
Ryou stopped for a moment before sprinting back to his friend. Yes, there most certainly was. But he wasn't sure what would happen if he told anyone about the gang of boys. They would find out one way or another, and Ryou didn't want to involve anyone else in it, especially his best friend. Shoving his hands into his pockets, he sighed.
Ryou looked up at the overcast sky. Come to think of it, he hadn't seen them for about a week now. Yuugi got the hint and reverted his gaze to the ground once more.
They were soon approaching the miniature lake and neither had said a word. Maybe Ryou would tell him when they got to the log by the pond side.
A threatening shadow passed behind them, keeping their footsteps silent.
"Well, lookie here, Ushio. Our prey came to us. We didn't even have to catch the bitch this time." Ryou and Yuugi froze on the spot. Slowing turning around, they saw two huge men hovering over them.
"Oh, and he brought a friend. How nice of him."
The last shadow emerged from behind the two giants. "Who's the twerp, fag? Your boyfriend?" Ryou twitched. He could take it himself, but Yuugi had no part of this.
"Shut up! Leave Yuugi alone!" The albino turned to his companion. "Yuugi, run home! I won't be able to hold them off." The boy looked shocked.
"What?! Ryou, you can't handle these apes! They'd kill you!"
The leader spoke again. "You bitches wanna leave the party so soon? Why don't you stay." It wasn't a question; it was a statement. The two boys were paralyzed with fright, and didn't move until his swinging fists were mere inches from Ryou's face. Yuugi jumped aside, being right beside him, and Ryou flinched and ducked at the last second.
Missing his target, he fell face-first into the dusty ground. "Damn you, bitch! Come here!" His henchmen ran to his side and helped him up. Ryou and Yuugi had taken off towards the closest house they knew around here: Honda's. "What are you doing?! Catch them!"
*
Ryou was out of breath by the time they reached his place. "Yuugi, can you press the doorbell for me?" He was still leaning on his knees for support.
He did so and hardly had to wait at all for a response. "Yuugi! Ryou! What are you doing here? What's with those apes running over here behind you?" Honda looked curiously over his friend's shoulder.
Ryou shot up. "What? We didn't loose them yet?" A quick turn around told him that in fact, they were pretty close.
"Get inside for now. I can handle these freaks." Honda stepped in front of the two and greeted the group of hulks, leaning on the doorframe.
The leader stepped up. "Honda. What a pleasure. You're Jonouchi's brat, aren't you?" Honda glared, but did nothing. "Well, we'd love to stay and chat, but you seem to have our two, friends, in there. Step aside, and we'll leave you alone."
He blinked twice before Honda cracked a smile. It morphed into a grin and then soft laughter. "I don't think so, idiot. Now why don't you go screw yourselves over before I decide to get a bit messy."
The goon to the right stepped up. "How dare you talk like that to Akuma" He swung his titan fist at Honda's calm face. He merely ducked out of the way and used his attacker's awkward position to flip him over and sprain his arm. Stepping on his back, Honda looked up.
"Which one of you's next?"
"You, you bastard!" The leader motioned to the remaining hulk and they took off.
He shook his head and kicked the guy in his ribs before he took off too. "Cowards. Hey, Ryou! Why were they after you, anyway?" Honda headed inside.
Ryou and Yuugi were sitting on the couch, surrounded by piles of empty beer cases. "Dunno. We came across them on our way home." the albino mumbled.
"They seemed to know you. Have you seen them around before?" The albino's face was flushed, though only Yuugi noticed.
"I-I, yes. They usually come around a couple times a week...."
The two other boys stared at him in shock. "What?! Why haven't you said anything?! We could have stomped them a long time ago for you! And what about Bakura?! Didn't he have anything to say about it?"
Ryou sat up straight. "Don't talk about Bakura like that! He didn't know either, okay?!" He turned to leave. "I'm going home."
Yuugi jumped up to follow him, apologizing to the bewildered Honda and bowed quickly before running out after Ryou.
"Ryou! Ryou, wait up!" The light-haired boy stopped and turned around.
"Gomen, Yuugi. I don't know why I exploded back there." He tilted his head and smiled. "Tell Honda I'm sorry if you see him before I do, alright?"
"Hai, I will. Now let's get to your place before anything else happens." He laughed lightly.
*
Me: right...but before I forget, Deir El-Medina was where all the pyramid-builders mainly lived. It died out about five hundred years before Bakura and Marik's time, but I'm gunna use my artistic license to bend this a bit, alright? *sweatdrop* It was a real city.
Bakura: ...right...
Ryou: what was the point of shoving yourself in there?? You scared me! Why did you keep staring at me, anyway?
Me: I did? Really? I like to call it 'innocent fascination with albino's pretty hair'.
Ryou: now you just sound like 'Yura of the Hair' (Inu Yasha)...scary...
Me: eh heh... erm... you know nothing... R/R, mina!
