Chapter 13 - Healing Clue
Rushing into the room Yugi watched as Kaiba and Joey ran toward the bed. "Motou, what's wrong? She's awake."
"Yes...but-"
"But what?" Kaiba looked at Yugi then at Amber. She looked at him confused as before. "Are you okay? Do you feel okay?"
"I feel horrible," she hid her face turned away from them holding her knees to her chest, "How did I get here?"
"What do you mean? I brought you here." Slightly shocked by her question Kaiba sat down to and looked into her eyes. They looked at him with pure and utter confusion. "Amber, come on. It's me, Kaiba."
"Who are you Mr. Kaiba? Why am I here? What is wrong with me?" Amber questioned Kaiba.
"Mr. Kaiba?"
"Amber! Rememba me!" Joey put his hands on her shoulders and started to shake her, "Come on! I'm the crazy one!"
Amber started to cough roughly. Kaiba pulled Joey off Amber and held the blonde, not from stopping him from attacking but support for himself. "I honestly don't know who any of you are. I just want to go home."
"I'm afraid I can't let you go until you're better," Kaiba looked down as he said this.
"I understand. I somehow know I must be someone important to all of you, I don't mean to sound rude but I honestly don't know who I am, where I came from or anything about my past." Amber sighed and looked down at her hands, they had regained no colour.
"Seto? Seto!" Mokuba ran in with the small golden ball in his hands. It was glowing, the words on it brighter then the rest. Kaiba took the object and moved it around in his palm. Suddenly Amber started to cough again, this time blood started to run down the side of her mouth. Kaiba, Yugi, Joey and Mokuba watched as the ball floated over to Amber and let the blood drip onto it. After a drop of blood fell onto the golden object it shone so bright they had to cover their eyes.
It sent out arrows around the room. Amber expertly dodged them from her bedside type of manor and once the arrows all dispersed out came a long golden chain, a small golden tear drop shaped pendant formed on the chain. Slowly she opened her eyes to be a blank hollow gold.
"Amber?" Kaiba looked through his hands, "Amber what's going on?"
"Yug, what's going on?" Joey hid his face from the bright light once again.
"Deep inside the broken walls, and deep within their heart the key to time and wishful thinking is never far apart. Along the shattered barrier, deep wounds hidden within. Scars once open now be healed, all life in time. History's mold." Amber spoke in a hypnotic like voice. Closing her eyes she fell back onto the pillow, the light fading as she fell. Opening her eyes everyone was surprised at the change in colour.
"Guys...what's going on?" Amber choked out weakly. Mixed emotions were shared across the room. Kaiba sat down on the edge of the bed. His blue eyes were undreadable. Amber gazed weakly into them, her own now golden ones filled with confussion. "S-Seto?"
"You're back!" Mokuba ran up and gave Amber a bear hug. Amber laughed and sighed sleepily. "I'm so glad! There was this one clue and well your eyes went a golden like colour and-" Mokuba gazed into her eyes, "They're still golden."
Coughing Amber motioned for someone to hand her a mirror. "Oh my god! They are...golden." Slightly shocked by her new eye colour she groaned inwardly, "So much for staying the same old Amber."
"How do you feel?" Yugi sat down in a chair facing Amber.
"Sick. Like I'm going to-" Amber retched over the side of her bed and onto Yugi's pants. Yugi who didn't have time to move back gagged and heard laughter from Mokuba and Joey. Amber smiled apologeticly, "Sorry."
"It's okay. Nothing a shower and clean pants couldn't hurt." Turning to the now laughing pair rolling on the floor Yugi said, "SHUT UP!" This only caused more laughter from the pair and a smirk from Kaiba. Yugi glared at all three and left the room to get a shower.
"Nice aim," Joey laughed.
"Yeah, lets put a target on him." Mokuba joined in. Of course this was all in good fun and everyone knew that it was.
"So...what is going on between you and Joey?" This made Kaiba turn his head toward her and Joey to snap his head up and look at her. A blush appeared on Joey's face and Kaiba looked away to hide his small almost un-noticable blush. "I see...so you guys are an item?" Amber coughed and sat up.
"Uh..." Kaiba and Joey utterted in unison.
"They sure are!" Mokuba cheered happily. Amber laughed when both Kaiba and Joey backed away and blushed bright red. "See."
"You should get some sleep," Kaiba said when he noticed her tired expression. She sighed but agreed.
"Thanks for being there for me guys," with a yawn she fell asleep. Sighing Kaiba knew that one more hurdle was passed but how many other hurdles would have to be jumped? Knowing this Kaiba dragged Joey and Mokuba out of the room, well he didn't drag them but led them out of the room. Yugi ran up to them. He was wearing black baggy shorts and black baggy t-shirt.
"Wow Yug, what caused the...change?" Joey was a little shocked at his friends appearence.
"Yes Motou, where is the leather?" Kaiba smirked as Yugi glared at him.
"I went shopping on my own, Yami doesn't doesn't do all the shopping."
"You should let Amber see you in that." Kaiba growled at Joey who, to make him stop growling, kissed him. Throughly enjoying the kiss; Kaiba calmed down. Yugi and Mokuba laughed. "Shut up Yug. At least I'm with Kaiba, you've only gotten a kiss out of her." Joey shot back and gulped as Kaiba approached Yugi.
Backing away Yugi trembled. Kaiba backed him up into a wall and held out his hand, "I suppose if she likes you, your allowed to be with her." Yugi was surprised, "But if you hurt her I will hunt you down."
"I understand." Yugi shook Kaiba's hand. "How about we get some food? I'm hungry." Joey grinned.
"I suppose it's time to feed my puppy."
"Bark. Bark." Joey grumbled angrily. Kaiba snikered and pulled Joey along. Yugi and Mokuba started to have a nice conversation between themselves.
Amber sat up in bed. Why do I feel so different? Amara I need some answers.
Amara, slightly surprised said, Yeah, sure. What would you like to know?
Why do I have you when I was created in a lab? Whatwas my acient life like? I know you were a priestess but what is my purpose here? Why am I so special? How did I get you when-you know? And how come my eye colour has been changed?
I was destined for you. You may not have been born in a normal way but you were still born. Everyone deserves to be here and you've brought a new life to the Kaiba family. You're so special, don't discount yourself that way. Kaiba, Mokuba and Yugi love you dearly, but Yugi in a different way. I presume your eye colour changed due to the extreme power that was running through your viens and still is. I can feel it.
I just want to be normal.
I know you do, but for those who carry the ancient items and those who have the spirits in them life will never be normal.
I know, Amber sighed, I know.
Amber stood up and walked to the window. After calming thoughts she went to the bathroom, as she did her finger traced a rose yet to bloom. The rose started to bloom and in tens seconds bloomed into a black rose rose with white and red edges on each petal.
"Amber?" Yugi walked into the room, "You in here?"
"Yeah, here."
"Where's here?"
"The bathroom."
Yugi sighed, "I can't go in there."
"It's okay. Come in." Yugi gulped and pushed open the door. He noticed the rose and wondered what it meant. Shrugging it off he entered the bathroom. Amber was stretched out in the tub, bubbles were up against her chest and covered the water. For this Yugi was glad.
"Uh..." a slight blush on his face, "Do you wanna go out for dinner, just the two of us?" Yugi looked at Amber.
"Sure. I need something to relax me."
"Oh, by the way. The rose your growing turned out cool."
"What are you talking about? It's still in it's stem stage."
"No it's not. It's a black rose with red and white petals." Yugi explained.
"It wasn't like that five minutes ago." Amber looked at her hands. "How strange. I really do need this date."
