Oh well, even if only Shaami reviews, I'll still try & finish this story,
mainly because I'm bored ^_^
If you do read this story, though I doubt anyone is, please review, even if it just says, "I'm reading this" just so I know it isn't a waste of my time.
On with my poor ickle under-appreciated fic I guess.
~-~
I stare at my hikari oddly, what dies he mean, 'where he's been'? He passed out in our front room, so he hasn't been anywhere. Maybe he's fallen ill or something? With all that's happened today, I guess he could be delusional.
"I know that it must sound odd, but I wasn't here, not spiritually anyway, I was in, um, what did she say it was called? Oh yeah, the Chaos Realm."
Chaos Realm? Now why does that sound familiar to me?
"Who is 'she'?" Yami asks sceptically.
Oh, yeah, I missed that part because I was thinking about the name, & I still am actually. It's annoying me excessively that I can't remember.
My hikari grins at Yami's question, I wonder why? For that matter, why am I calling him 'Yami'?
"I saw Nef, she said she got stuck in the Chaos Realm."
I feel like I've had the air knocked out of me. He really saw Nef? Now I remember why that name sounded so familiar, An & Merenra were killed by a group, who then opened a portal to the Chaos Realm in the hopes of killing us all. Nef sealed the portal, but had to sacrifice herself to do it, so she was sealed inside at the same time? Does that mean she's alive, or is it just her soul that's trapped?
"Did she say anything else?" I ask, once I get my voice back.
An nods, then frowns. "Kind of, it was someone with her, I think she said they were her guardians. Set, or something like that. Anyway, he said something about combining the power of the items."
So she has her two gods with her? That's something at least. Still, if the items can free her, why couldn't they seal the portal? Why did we have to lose all three of them that day?
"Is that everything An?" I have to be thorough with this.
"Hai niisan."
I sigh, hoping there was more, something more definite or helpful, we don't know much about the Chaos Realm, or how we would use the items to help her. Also, how could An have gone there? I wonder if Saharen's guardian would know anymore than we do?
"Koi? How about you ask Dem about this?" I ask lightly, as he seems to be in shock.
He nods dumbly & enters the puzzle. He must feel lousy about this, even if he didn't know, she's still been trapped in there all this time, I expect he thinks he failed her. Still, I know better & I know her better than to think she would feel like that, after all, it was her decision. Nef always knew what she was doing, considering her heritage, she had to, and it would've been too dangerous otherwise.
Next problem, how do we get everyone to agree with this? I'm not naïve enough to believe that we don't need help. We can't control the power of the items alone, not for something like this. Also, we could do with Malik remembering his past as Merenra, not that I want him making-out with my ototo at the moment. I don't honestly think he would think like that considering how important she was to all of us, but Malik is very different from his past self, so I can't be sure.
This is beginning to give me a headache. & what is taking Pharaoh so long? Patience Nub, this isn't helping matters, I'm sure Sah' is working something out. Maybe I should. No, don't do anything until Sah' gets back, just sit down & be patient. Damn it, how can An be so calm? I need to do something; I just can't seem to sit still.
"You have no choice but to wait niisan." Damn calm hikari.
"I know that ototo, but it's easier said than done." Especially for me, I'm not used to doing nothing.
If I wasn't stealing, I was planning, but now I'm not allowed to do either & it isn't fair. I don't know how to be as calm as An, not concerning this anyway, I owe Nef so much, so I want to do something to help, something to repay some of the debt. Not that she ever thought of me as being in her debt, but still, I do & that's what counts.
I'm just about to complain some more when Saharen returns. He doesn't look ecstatic, as I had hoped, but he doesn't look depressed either, so I guess it's possible to help her, but that it will be far from simple. Nothing new there then, nothing is ever easy, well, robbing tombs was relatively easy once I convinced Nef to help me. Not that Saharen needs to know that of course, he'd kill me if he found out.
"Mahado says that we need everyone's help to pull this off & even then it will be 50-50 at best." Sah' states, sounding somewhat depressed.
"It'll be fine, she wouldn't have said anything if she didn't think we could do it." I reply, sounding more confident than I feel, though I mean every word of it.
An stands up & nods. "I agree with Nub, Nef never said anything unless it was possible to accomplish. I'll ring the Ishtar's & explain everything."
I just watch as he walks out of the room, it's strange that he's suddenly back to the way he was before, my ototo the organised scribe that dealt with everyone perfectly. Well, if he can convince everyone & not have them think he's completely insane, it's fine with me. Saves me having to deal with the idiots & it means I can talk with Sah' to find out exactly what we need to do.
Speaking of Pharaoh, he's staring out of the window, completely oblivious to everything. Walking behind him, I place my arms around his waist, I feel him jump as he is brought back to reality & can't help but smirk, the great Pharaoh is cute when he's startled.
"What's the matter?" I ask softly.
"Just thinking about neesan, she's been trapped in that place for so long & we didn't even realise, I hope we can do this, I miss her so much." Though he sounds melancholy, I have to ask this.
"Is she alive, or is it her spirit that's trapped Saharen?"
He looks shocked & slightly hurt. "I."
That means he hadn't thought about it, he just assumed she'd be alive. I can't help but think that isn't the case however, no matter how much we want the past to return, it won't, all we can do is realise her soul so she can go to the next life, then maybe we'll be free of the items one day & join her, then our souls can have eternity together in the land of the gods.
When did I start following those beliefs? Pharaoh must have rubbed off on me more than I thought. I know it wasn't Nef, because she didn't believe. Shimatta, she isn't Egyptian, so would she even get that? She never believed in our gods, she said she'd simply join the essence of the Shadow Realm & cease to exist. That means, even if we free her from the Chaos Realm, we'll still lose her.
What am I supposed to do? Should I tell them about this? But she wants to be free; they may not allow that if they know she'll be gone. kuso! My head feels light all of a sudden, what's going on? Think I'm going to pass out.
