Chapter Three

Tohru didn't know what was happening as the room whirled around her or so it seem as she fell into a neverending darkness where she tried blindly to struggle out of.

What's happening to me…it was getting harder to get out from this like she was underwater and having trouble breathing as the room started to move underneath her and gave in to let her fall.

Falling backwards into whatever was drawing her in.

I'm like chained to a heavy rock and that this rock was making certain to take me down to wherever it plan to take me in!

Somebody help me! She wanted to scream but the words never came, as only she had no voice to call for help. But someone did hear, someone did hear her as she saw something glowing and coming towards her at amazing rapid speed. It was like time was freezing as the light came to her and stood by. But the light was given in and turned into shape, a person, somebody whose face was in shadow but she heard its voice.

Do you want my help? The voice was calm and trustful and Tohru thought that it may help her. It even felt familiar to her.

Yes. She wanted to say. But the words couldn't come, instead she nodded.

Give me your hand. Tohru did and felt the person press both hands down over hers and this time the light erupt around them and Tohru for one minute saw that figure's face before she was again lost in that darkness but not feeling alone anymore.

Whoever you are, I thank you….

You're welcome…my hikari. The voice said but Tohru didn't hear it as she felt out of conscious with herself in the dark.

Tohru woke up once again from being unconscious but she was in a different room now, not the long dank hallway or the statue with the box?

Then where was she? Her head was throbbing. "Oh my aching head." Tohru lifted her right hand to her head to ease the coming headache when she saw something glitter on her wrist. A bracelet was around it and she noticed that she had never had this on before. It was an unusual bracelet; it had writing inscription along the golden brace encircling her wrist, a rope of twelve beads hung down on the side like a rosary, all different color and a cathead with an Egyptian eye in the middle of its head was center in the middle of the bracelet.

Where did this come from? She was about to try and find the clip to unlock it or slip it off when she heard the door opening and a light flashing in the room.

"Tohru, is that you?" Isuzu! Forgetting about the bracelet and turning to see Isuzu pointing a light in her direction. Not a torch but an actual battery powered flashlight that beamed in the room.

"Tohru are you alright? I went out of the room to go talk to Koju on given you that ride when the lights went out and I worried so I came back to the studies and found you were gone." She then noticed something was wrong when Tohru didn't say anything. "Are you alright?"

"Um h-hai, I'm fine. It's that I must've slipped and fell or something and have a headache when I looked for you too." I guess the rest of it was a dream…but the voice, I feel like that wasn't a dream but I'm not too sure, she thought groggily. Isuzu gave her a hand as she helped Tohru off the ground. Tohru looked once again around the room. This was the final room with that door, the door leading to the dark corridor. But when Tohru turned her head around, she saw no door there. But I thought there was a door there before but, maybe I just saw something else or I didn't see it.

"Tohru are you sure you're feeling all right?"

Tohru turned to see Isuzu concern and felt bad when she had walked down here alone without knowing where she was going.

"Gomen nasai." She whispered but Isuzu was about to speak when light appeared in the room and Tohru saw a man wearing a uniformed bay outfit and turban coming into the room.

"The powers back up Miss Ishtar."

"Thank you Guri." Isuzu said before saying, "Is Miss Honda's ride ready?"

"Yes ma'am. Koju has the car ready and will be taking Miss Honda home."

"Good now please leave. I have something I want to discuss alone with Miss Honda."

When the man left and Tohru and Isuzu were alone once again, Tohru thought she was going to be scold for leaving the room, like a child disobeying her parents. But instead of that, Isuzu turned to her and said, "I'm sorry for all the commotion happening all in one day but if anytime you wish to come to me for anything, you can call the museum or my driver and have him pick you up…"

"Eh no-no that's not necessary, but…"

"But what?"

"Well I was trying to do something for my history project and seeing all this wonderful artifacts here. Well I would like to come again and study it more." And as if reading her mind once again, Isuzu smiled. "And you wondered if you would like a personal tour as well since I'm Egyptian and might know a little more history here than what you see here."

Tohru blushed and nodded, stammering, "If it's no trouble at all. I mean, well if it doesn't get into your schedule of anything or…"

"I would be glad to have you come again." She then turned to look at one of the tablets on the wall. "I know so much of these ancient histories and stories that it would seem that I had been there at the time." She turned and smiled a smile that looked mysterious to Tohru as if she knew a secret of some kind.

Tohru was about to say something when the driver, Koju appeared in the room, asking if Miss Honda was ready to leave. Isuzu nodded before Tohru had time to speak. The driver left and as Tohru was following after, she heard Isuzu say something. "See you later then Tohru on the weekend. And later again soon…"

Tohru waved to her and said goodbye as Isuzu seemed ensnared in something that was brought to her attention by something else. As Tohru made her way to the vehicle, Koju opened the back and Tohru stepping in and him closing her door for her and heading to the front, she forgot all about the bracelet or weird light and whatnot as she told Koju where to take her. And as she turn to watched the museum disappear as they drove away, for one moment she saw a strange man dressed in robes and garbs, holding something in his hand and a weird key around his neck standing there but when she blinked she saw no one. A strange evening this was turning out to be, she thought.

Meanwhile, Isuzu waited for a moment before she sense his presence in the room. "Well?"

"She passed." He said non-to-blankly as he stepped from out of the shadows and towards her. "She has passed and has been chosen to be the vessel of the spirit of the millennium brace."

"Do you think I would doubt that she would?" She turned to stare at him.
Shadi, a carrier of the millennium Anuk and scale like herself who had the necklace to see in the future saw all too clear how it was going to be. Destiny ensure them that she and Tohru were to meet in such a strange encounter and had went to having thegirl tested to see if she would be the one to be burden with the millennium item like they were in the past before.

Just like her…just like, Isuzu sighed sadly. She felt terrible for doing such a wicked scheme as to find out if she, Tohru was the one to be the holder of the millennium bracelet. And with the other to carry inside it beside the spirit. She touched the necklace around her neck, feeling the eye gave her the need of courage to enable her at what to do next. She looked up at the tablet again.

The carving of the priest and pharaoh in battle with their monster shown on the wall almost alive in her eyes. She understood what the hieroglyphs on the carving said.

History will repeat itself. An evil will come and try to take over but the pharaoh alongside his true followers and one of which his own flesh and blood carries greater power than all to imagine with others like itself will follow. But whether good will or chaos ensure will depend on who the one it choose as it's master to rule over.

That what it was telling inside her heart, each word make it beat like fresh blood coming into to course through her veins.

"Will we be able to see this through if all goes as we want?" Shadi said nothing but his confirming on the future seem clear that an ever age battle was coming to afoot and that all the holders would be there to fight. Shadi said one thing before he left, "Do not forget that we cannot tell her other things in order to jeopardy's the future. She must find out on her own only with the spirit alongside her. No matter what, all must go as followed. Make certain everything goes as plan, I will see you until then when it's time for the battle." And he was gone.

Isuzu knew that this was to happen as well as again as preparation tonight were set for another to come at this time. She heard a car coming in the drive next to the building. She heard a young man speak as he got of the car, "Keep the engine on, this won't be long."
Don't count on it Kaiba. She thought as she went to greet Seto Kaiba, the reincarnated priest and the helper in part of the plan to set history in motion once again. This was gonna be a long night.
