Chapter 5: Will things ever be normal again?
Mrs. Jenkins walked down the park path with her grandson by her side. She missed having her two favorite customers coming by, but knew that their destinies lay elsewhere. Her grandson stopped walking as he caught sight of something lying in the snow. He stepped over to it and saw a young Egyptian teen lying on the ground. She was only wearing a pair of flannel sleep bottoms and a strap shirt. He kneeled by her side to see if she was alive. Her breathing was steady and her heart beat was strong.
"Grandmother," he called out.
"Yes dear," Mrs. Jenkins said coming to his side and gasped in shock, "Oh my. Come let us get her back to the shop."
"But she needs to get to the hospital," he protested, "She needs medical attention."
"Well are you not one of the best doctors in the area?" Mrs. Jenkins countered at her eldest grandson.
"Oh very well," he said defeated.
He removed his coat and placed it around the girls upper body before taking her into his arms. He followed his grandmother back to her card shop and into the apartment at the back. She led the way into the extra guest room and pulled out a dry oversized T-shirt for the girl to wear. He laid her down and left while his grandmother changed the girl out of her wet clothing. Soon she motioned for him to come back in. he looked the girl over and sighed in relief that she only needed to warm up. If anything she may get a cold.
"Grandmother I will be back, I'm going to get some items from a friend's office so I can check on the girl's condition," he said.
"Be careful dear," Mrs. Jenkins said.
With that he left the apartment. Mrs. Jenkins turned her attention back onto the girl asleep on the bed. She brushed a stray strand of hair from her eyes before leaving the room.
Anubis appeared in his masters room to await her. Soon the shadow descended upon the room and took form. It walked over to the awaiting God to find out how it went.
"So my darling, you banished her for all eternity to her dimension?" the Shadow inquired.
"The CEO interrupted the spell so it is not complete," he said.
"What do you mean 'not complete'" the Shadow said in a low menacing voice.
"Her item she still keeps as well as her abilities. She is still the Phoenix Sorceress," he said.
"But she cannot return can she?" the Shadow continued.
"I am not certain," Anubis answered honestly.
"No matter. By the time she returns my plans will have been enacted," the Shadow said, "Now go. Prepare for the final act in our little play."
"Yes Master," Anubis said leaving the room.
"Soon my darling Pharaoh you will belong to me and I will soon rule the world," the Shadow said.
Mokuba came into the sitting room to grab something before going back out and saw his brother on the floor. He ran to his side and attempted to wake him but to no avail. Mokuba then ran and called for an ambulance to get the CEO some help. The ambulance transported Seto to the emergency room to get him medical treatment. Soon Mokuba was seated in the waiting room hoping to hear something about his brother. The young teen walked over to the payphone to call Yugi to come wait with him.
"Moshi, moshi," Yugi said as he answered the phone.
"Yugi…"Mokuba began trying to control his emotions.
"Mokuba?! What's wrong?" Yugi asked the younger teen.
"It's Seto… he's been hurt and we are at the hospital," Mokuba said quietly.
"Is Jade there?" Yugi asked.
"No she's gone," Mokuba said, "Please come here Yugi. I'm afraid for big brother."
"I'll be right over," Yugi said as he hung up the phone.
Yami came out of his puzzle to see what caused his hikari so much distress. Yugi grabbed his coat and headed out of the room nearly forgetting about the puzzle. He came back, grabbed it and left. Yami followed in spirit form now concerned at what was happening. Yugi yelled to his grandfather that he was going out as he ran out the door leaving his grandfather to stare in bewilderment. Yugi ran to the train and made it just in time to catch it. In the passing minutes Yami tried to speak to the teen, but met with silence. Soon he got off at his stop and ran towards the hospital. Yugi ran inside and quickly found Mokuba sitting on one of the plastic chairs crying.
"Mokuba," Yugi called out.
The young boy looked up, "Yugi…"
"Have they said anything yet?" Yugi asked as he sat down next to the boy.
"No, no one has come out yet. I'm worried about big brother. What if something terrible has happened? Where will I go? I don't want to return to the orphanage," Mokuba shot out quickly.
Yugi hugged Mokuba, "Don't worry. If I know Kaiba, he would never leave you alone. He would curse Kami and Ra himself to return to you."
Mokuba smiled slightly at that before going back to watching for the doctor to come out. This time an older doctor came walking out and spoke with the nurse at the reception desk. She pointed towards the two boys and the doctor walked towards them. Yugi stood up and approached the doctor.
"Hello, are you the family of Seto Kaiba?" the doctor asked pleasantly.
"I am," Mokuba said in a quiet voice, "Is big brother okay?"
"Please sit down and I will explain," the doctor said as he also sat down, "Your brother is in a coma, but at this moment we do not know the cause of it."
"Will he wake up?" Mokuba asked on the verge of spilling new tears.
"Right now it is too early to tell. Can you tell me what happened?" the doctor asked.
Mokuba took a breath, "I came home and found Seto on the floor. He looked like he was asleep, but when I tried to wake him up he wouldn't. then I called an ambulance to bring him here."
"There was nothing else out of place, no sign of struggle…" the doctor questioned.
"No," Mokuba said, "Can I see him now?"
"Yes you may… Nurse?" the doctor called out.
A male nurse came to him, "Take these young men to the ICU to see Seto Kaiba."
"Yes Dr. Wessing," the nurse said.
He led them through a pair of doors and into the elevator. Soon it let the passengers off on floor three. The noise from down stairs was gone and replaced by silence. The nurse walked into a room and left the boys with the prone form of Seto Kaiba. Mokuba ran to his brother's side and held his hand. Yami came out of the puzzle and winced in pain as some type of residual magic clung to the CEO's form. Yugi noticed this and walked up next to Yami.
"Yami what's wrong?" Yugi asked his darker half.
"There is strong residual magic clinging to Kaiba's aura," Yami began, "It is ancient and powerful."
"Meaning…" Yugi began.
"Meaning that Jade is in trouble as well. I need to speak with Sorcerer somehow," Yami said, "But I don't know how."
"Yami right now we need to help Mokuba through this and then figure things out," Yugi said, "and I think tomorrow we should contact Malik, Isis, and Bakura for help."
"Okay," Yami said before vanishing once again into the puzzle.
"Mokuba?" Yugi began, "Come stay at my place. You can't stay here or at your house alone."
"Okay," Mokuba said, "Big Brother I will be back tomorrow to visit."
"Come on Mokuba. You know he'll pull though this, plus he has Sorcerer on his side as well," Yugi said trying to lighten the mood, "Now how about some ice cream, my treat."
"Okay," Mokuba said never one to pass up free food.
The two left the hospital on the promise of free ice, cold, creamy goodness.
Jade moaned as she made it towards consciousness. She opened her eyes to see that she was in a darkened room. The bed didn't seem familiar, but she knew it wasn't a hospital room.
"Seto? Mokuba?" Jade called out.
A figure walked in and turned on a lamp near the bed. Jade saw a man with reddish brown hair, hazel eyes, and dressed in slacks and a dress shirt come closer. The Egyptian sat up and tried to move away from him and realized that she was missing her leg brace. The man just watched her before leaving the room. He came back in with an elderly woman in tow. Jade recognized the face of Mrs. Jenkins.
"Ah Jhada dear, you are awake," she said.
"Mrs. Jenkins?" Jade questioned, "Where am I?"
"In my home. My grandson, Christopher, has been caring for you since we found you in the park," the older woman explained.
"Grandmother, I will be by tomorrow to check on her again, good-night," Christopher said before giving Mrs. Jenkins a peck on the cheek.
"Good-night dear," Mrs. Jenkins said, "Now I'm sure you are hungry aren't you."
"Actually yes, I'm famished," Jade said.
"I thought so. Your brace and a change of clothing is on the chair by the bed. Meet me down in the kitchen," Mrs. Jenkins said before leaving the room.
Jade quickly changed into the jeans and turtle neck provided for her. The confused Egyptian sat on the bed trying to figure out what exactly happened. She got off the bed and went downstairs to the kitchen. as soon as she stepped into the room her senses were assaulted with a delicious aroma of lunch. Jade sat down at the table at Mrs. Jenkins direction. Soon she was given a bowl of parsley and basil chicken soup and warm rolls. Jade ate the offered meal and thanked the older woman for her hospitality.
"Now dear tell me why you mentioned Seto and Mokuba Kaiba's names when you woke up," Mrs. Jenkins said.
"Um…" Jade stopped unsure of how to tell the woman that she had been living in another dimension.
"Jhada dear I know that you were chosen to help someone. The person who gave me the package that day told me that you were chosen to save the world," Mrs. Jenkins began, "He also said that you were to return to your own world soon."
"Huh?" Jade said, "Who said this?"
"The man called himself Shadi," Mrs. Jenkins said.
"Shadi?!" Jade exclaimed, "If he can cross the dimensional lines maybe he will know a way for me to return. But how do I find him."
Mrs. Jenkins chuckled at her reaction, "Dear, I do not think you find him, but instead he finds you."
Jade let out a sigh, "I know but I wonder if what sent me here also took away my abilities as well."
Jade stood up and summoned her staff to her hands happy to still be able to do that. Mrs. Jenkins watched in silent awe at the trick. The young Sorceress allowed the staff to disappear before sitting down once more.
"I assume that the box you were given awoke new powers in you," Mrs. Jenkins stated.
"How do you know all of this?" Jade questioned, "I mean I'm not saying that it's bad or anything, but it's just…"
"Don't worry, much as you were chosen to save the world I was chosen to guide you to your current path," she explained, "Whether it was starting you in the dueling or the cards, I was there for guidance."
"Cool," Jade answered before letting off a rather large yawn.
"I think maybe you should rest and tomorrow we shall begin to look for a way to send you home," Mrs. Jenkins said.
"Good-night Mrs. Jenkins and thank you," Jade said hurrying up to the room she is currently occupying.
Jade sat down on the bed wondering if Jhada had also followed her to this dimension. Just as she was about to touch the mind link a spirit's form came out of the crystal. Jade nearly fell off the bed when she saw Sorcerer Seto standing before her. He was equally as startled at being in the crystal. Jade began laughing at his look when Jhada chose to appear and whack the Egyptian spirit upside the head.
"Jhada, Sorcerer," Jade began trying to control her laughter, "So you did survive the dimensional trip. But how in Ra's name did you get here, Sorcerer?"
"I am still trying to figure that out myself. All I know is that I must return to Seto's body soon or he may be lost," Sorcerer said to the girl.
"Lo-lost, how?!" Jade exclaimed.
"Explain yourself, Sorcerer," Jhada said quickly, equally as shocked.
"When I was torn from him and pulled into your mind it sent his body into shock," Sorcerer explained.
"Meaning…" Jhada pushed.
"Meaning that he is in a coma until I can reunite his body and mind to mine," Sorcerer said as he sat down heavily on the edge of the bed.
"Well I cannot do anything tonight, but in the morning I will begin searching for the spell and counter spell," Jade said, "Sorcerer you may use the bed in my soul room if you wish it."
"Thank you," Sorcerer said before disappearing.
Jhada did the same as Jade became comfortable on the bed. She fell asleep quickly slipping into dreams.
*Dream Sequence*
"Pharaoh you have a visitor," a guard said as he bowed before the ruler of Egypt.
"Who is it?" Pharaoh Yami asked.
"A woman who wishes to speak her name to only you," the guard said.
"Very well, bring her in," Yami said.
The guard left and returned moments later with a woman following. The woman wore silk robes the color of the sky at midnight which contrasted with her nearly white hair. She stepped closer to the ruler very much aware of the guard by the door. She watched the young ruler with sapphire eyes that burned with desire. Yami motioned for the guard to leave, not realizing that the two had another onlooker. Jhada watched with interest the meeting that was about to occur between the two.
"My Pharaoh," the woman said in a honey smooth voice.
"My guard informed me that you will only speak your name to me," Pharaoh Yami said.
"That is true," she began once more, "I am Ashtika."
"Ashtika," Yami muttered to himself letting the sound of it roll off his tongue, "What has brought you to my palace?"
"I have come to speak to you about matters concerning your lands and the heart," Ashtika said allowing her spell to ensnare the unsuspecting Pharaoh.
"Continue," Yami said his eyes glazing over.
"I wish for you to wed me. I wish to become your bride and lover," she said softly, "I also wish for your power and soul."
The Pharaoh stood still watching the enchantress as she continued to spin her web to completely ensnare the young ruler. Jhada held in her gasp as she heard what the woman said. The Princess snuck out of the throne room trying to find the only person strong enough to send the woman to the Shadow Realm. Jhada ran into Sorcerer Seto's chambers seeing him about to undress for the night. When he heard the door slam open he spun around and saw the disheveled form of Princess Jhada standing in the doorway.
"Princess?" he began.
"No time, come on," she said grabbing his wrist and dragging him from the room.
"Princess what is going on?" Seto asked trying to keep up with the young girl's quick steps.
"My brother is in trouble… a seductress… powerful magic…" Jhada rambled out between breaths.
Soon the two rushed into the throne room in time to stop the kiss that would of sealed the Pharaoh's fate. Yami continued to stare at the two newcomers blankly as the woman's threads of magic tightened around the Pharaoh's will. Sorcerer Seto raised his staff to attack the witch when Yami's voice rang through the room.
"Guards," Yami called out.
The two guards came into the room, "Yes Pharaoh?"
"Seize him," Yami said pointing at Seto.
The guards took the shocked Sorcerer into custody and prepared to drag him to the dungeons. The seductress only smirked at the princess and Sorcerer before secretly sending Yami a new message.
"Guards execute him for treason," Pharaoh Yami said as an evil smirk graced his lips.
"Brother don't!" Jhada screamed out.
The Seductress' hold slipped a tiny bit at the sound of his sister's distressed voice. Princess Jhada saw this and ran to him. She took him into her embrace, bringing them both to their knees. Jhada looked into her brother's eyes letting the tears fall down her cheeks. The Seductress once again felt her hold falter. Jhada rubbed her brothers cheek lovingly as he usually did to her when ever she had a nightmare.
"Yami, hear my voice and follow it back to the light," Jhada began, "My brother I will not lose you so fight."
Yami heard the melodic sound of his sister's voice drawing him back, "My sister."
"Yami?" Jhada whispered, "Is it truly you?"
Yami stood from the ground, "Guards release him and seize this Seductress instead."
The guards released the Sorcerer's arms and moved to take the woman instead. In a blink of an eye she had the Princess prisoner. The glint of the gold dagger held to the girl's throat caused everyone to stop moving. Yami glared at the woman and Sorcerer made to move behind her, but the Seductress just pressed the blade harder to Jhada's throat causing a small trickle of blood to stain the blade. Jhada whimpered in pain as the blade dug deeper.
"Now Pharaoh if you want to see your worthless sister alive then I suggest you renounce your throne and give the crown to me. Give me the power of the Pharaohs," Ashtika said, "If it wasn't for her I would have gotten it and you without a struggle."
"I will never give you the throne," Yami said.
"And I suppose your precious sister means nothing to you," Ashtika fired back causing Yami's eyes to flash in defeat.
"I-I'm sorry…I re-" Yami began.
"My brother don't. My life is not worth all the suffering and pain that she will cause," Jhada began.
"Touching speech Princess, but I don't think that will help. Just look at him, he is a beaten puppy who knows just who his master is," Ashtika said laughing viciously.
"I cannot let you do it, my brother," Jhada said as a power flared to life in her.
Jhada closed her eyes and felt a staff appear in her hands. She looked at it and saw the Phoenix staff there. The Seductress, startled, released the girl and face her. Jhada uttered a spell and fired it at the woman. As soon as the dust cleared, everyone just stared at the empty are where the Seductress once stood. Yami was the first to notice that the princess was unconscious on the ground. He ran to her side hoping that she wasn't dead. The young Pharaoh picked up the girl and took her to her room. A few minutes later Jhada opened her eyes seeing her concerned brother next to her.
"My sister you are okay," Yami said hugging her.
"Brother you would have not actually renounced the throne to that vile woman, would you?" Princess Jhada asked.
"I have told you that my family means more to me that anything," Yami said.
"What about your pledge to protect your people from evil?" Jhada said angrily.
"You are right," Yami said downfallen.
Sorcerer Seto walked into the room, "Princess you are awake."
"Thank you for your concern Sorcerer," Jhada said.
"Where is Ashtika?" Yami asked.
"In the Shadow Realm I suppose," Jhada said, "Now I must sleep."
*End Dream Sequence*
Jade woke with a start as the dream ended. She knew that she must speak with the two darker halves residing in her mind about the dream. She willed herself into her soul room and saw Sorcerer Seto sleeping peacefully on the bed. Jade went to her dark's room first. The young Sorceress shook the darker half until she woke up. Jade motioned for her to follow her back to the soul room Sorcerer slumbered in. Jade woke the Sorcerer and then sat down next to him on the bed.
"Jade why have you awaken us?" Jhada asked yawning.
"I believe I know who is after us," Jade said.
"You do?!" Sorcerer said shocked.
"Yes. I believe one of your memories invaded my dreams once again," Jade said to Jhada.
"Sorry, but that's the problem with sharing a mind link," Jhada said sheepishly.
"Anyways, a woman named Ashtika tried to take the throne 5 millennia ago by putting the Pharaoh in a trance. She wanted the throne, power, and Yami," Jade began, "But only you could bring him out of her spell, Jhada. She needs you and myself out of the way to try it again."
Jhada gasped at the realization of something else, "My other memory, when I was attacked, it was her. She attacked me to try and remove me from getting in the way. But when my soul was imprisoned into the crystal she knew she couldn't do anything. But why now?"
Jhada was now pacing the floor trying to figure out why she chose now to return. Jade just rolled her eyes at the ancient spirit before realizing something else.
"I think I may know the answer to why she has returned. Osiris…" Jade said.
"Osiris? But didn't you seal him in the Shadow Realm?" Sorcerer inquired.
"Yes, but if she can send me home, she can bring back Osiris. Plus I'm sure she is receiving help from another source as well," Jade said, "Because the same spell Ashtika used on Yami was used on me, by a man who called himself Anuu Shitaar. I believe he is the one who cast the spell used."
"So this man… Anuu Shitaar, cast the spell, but why leave you with all your abilities and me," Jhada questioned.
"Probably because it was not completed. Seto interrupted before the spell was completed," Jade explained.
"So you are saying that this spell could send you to your dimension, seal your powers and your darker half?" Sorcerer Seto shot out, "So why am I here?!"
"It could possibly have something to do with the fact that the spell was incomplete and at the time it was activated myself and Seto were in each other's arms," Jade said, "So instead of blocking Jhada from me, it instead drew you into me."
"So now what happens?" Jhada inquired.
"We try to find the proper counter spell and fast," Jade answered, "I'm going to try and get some sleep now."
"Good-night," Jhada said as Jade returned to her body.
Jade laid down knowing that the upcoming task is going to be hard and difficult…
