Chapter 7

Yugi was locked in the deepest cell they could find. The only light from a grate in the ceiling. Moonlight filtered through, taunting the captured Youth. The walls slick with slime and Ra knows what else, glistened in the white light. He was chained to the wall so he could not move too much. He looked at his hands. Worried beyond belief about Yami. He had to get back, but he knew now Padafar would have none of it. So there Yugi sat alone, the sound of water dripping reaching his ears. He curled up on the floor, trying to keep what little warmth his body had inside. He looked up as something blocked out the moon for a moment. He looked to see a hawk sitting on the grate, it's keen eyes watching him. "What is the hawk doing up at this time?" Yugi thought to himself. The hawk flew down and sat upon a rock jutting up from the floor. It looked at Yugi. It was then he realised the eyes were Red. Like rubies. All of a sudden he felt sleep drift over him and his eyes closed. He then heard someone calling him.

"Little one open your eye's" Yugi did as the voice bit. He was standing in a room of light. In front of him was the god Horus. Yugi went to his knees quickly and bowed low before his god.

"M..My Lord?"

"Little one, you have great power in your heart. Soon you will have to make a choice."

Yugi looked up to the god with a quizzical gaze. "A choice?"

"Yes. Your life. Or that of the Pharaoh's. If you choose to save your own life this is what will happen" The room spun. He saw Kemet in ruin. Storms raged the land. Dark shapes killing everyone. Yami. Trying to stop it, but failing his soul ripped asunder with a pain filled scream. Yugi placed his hands over his ears to block it out but it failed to diminish it even on decibel.

"Stop please stop my lord" Yugi cried, tears flowing. The room returned to the light of before.

"And if I sacrifice my own life?"

"This will be the outcome." Again he saw the room change. He saw his future. His choice, then it returned to before.

"Do you understand little one?"

"Yes my lord." Yugi replied. Looking up at the god. "Thank you for showing me this." The god nodded. The room flashed white light and Yugi awoke. There the hawk sat as if nothing had happened. It bowed to him. Then took to wing with one final heart warming call.

Yugi sat alone again. But was now no longer as scared as before. But he knew he must get back to Yami. The sound of the door opening caught his attention. There was Padafar, evil smirk on his face. Behind him was a man with a helm of Anubis covering his face. This could only mean on thing. He was to be tortured or killed. But from the whip in the mans hand Yugi could guess which. Yugi sighed, and looked at Padafar. No fear in his eyes.

"Padafar. Do you really think you can cause more than what I have endured?"

"Silence Traitor. You will scream for mercy"

"If that is what you think then you are truly blind. I am loyal to the Pharaoh. I would give my life to save his. What you do is nothing to break that."

Rage built in Padafar. He ordered the whipping to begin. It continued to morning light. But the slave made no cry. No whimper. After not getting anything out of the boy he stopped out. There was a meeting about the Pharaohs health he needed to attend. He stomped out. The executioner following. What they did not notice was the Captain of the Guard Tristen. He saw the bloody mess that was Yugi. He ran. He knew that Ishizu had been looking for the boy since last night. He had to tell her.

Few hours before

The Dark magician had sat waiting for the boy to return. But he did not. He became more worried. But he could not go looking for the boy, someone must watch Yami. Ishizu walked in not long after that thought. She looked at the Dark Magician and then looked for Yugi, seeing no sign of him she scowled.

"Where's Yugi?"

"He went to take the plates back to the kitchen, he has not returned. And that was some time ago. I am beginning to worry."

"Well you go and look now I am here. I don't want Yami awake if Yugi is not here. Something must be wrong. He would not leave Yami like this" the dark magician nodded in agreement at this. And left. Ishizu checked on the Pharaoh, seeing the Fever had not eased. She knew now it must be Nile Fever. It could be very dangerous, if not watched. Soon near day break the Dark magician returned. He had a very worried face.

"What is it?"

"I can't find him. Al I found was the plates he was carrying in the hall. I fear he has been taken."

"By whom?"

"I know not. But it best you know in case Yami awakens. I will continue to look" he was interrupted by a soft knock on the door, scowling he opened it. There In the door way was Tristen, panting out of breath. His gold armour glistening in the no rising sun. His, usually in a spike slicked down by sweat.

"You should not disturb the Pharaoh in his condition"

"Forgive me Dark magician. But you should know, the Slave Yugi is in the dungeon"

"What!"

"He is the prisoner of Padafar. They must have beaten him through the night. For he is a mess. I only saw him briefly.

"Dark magician. Go and get him Now!" Ishizu raged. If Yami found out… the dark magician needed no urging.

BACK TO PRESANT

He ran with Tristen leading the way to the cell. He ripped open the door. There was Yugi slumped against the wall. Dried blood covering him.

"Little one?" the dark magician pleaded. He saw Yugi open hi amethyst eyes he gave the Dark magician a weak smile. "Don't worry little one. I'll get you down." He saw worry cross those bright amethyst eyes.

"Y…Yami?"

"He's ok. I'll take you to him." He was about to release the boy when he was blown back; there in front of him was Puppet master. He belonged to Padafar.

"Get out Shadow monster. He is my prisoner"

"On what charge Padafar?"

"Not that it is any of your business. But the charge is treason. He will be executed at noon"

"You're an idiot Padafar."

"SILENCE SLAVE. GO BACK TO YOUR REALM."

The dark magician was about to attack, but a voice stopped him.

"Don't. I don't want you to get hurt, or banished to the shadow realm. You have to look after the Pharaoh"

"But"

"No Dark Magician" The dark magician felt the small ones power then. He knew now that this small child had power akin to the Pharaoh. And could summon shadow monster is he wished it.

"I will be back. I promise little one" with that The Dark magician went back to the Pharaoh.

Ishizu looked up from wiping the Pharaohs brow when she heard the door open, there stood the dark Magician. Defeat on his face. What she didn't notice was Yami opening his eyes.

"Dark magician where is Yugi?"

"Still in that Ra Damned cell. He is charged with treason by Padafar. I can't act. They are going to execute him at noon"

Ishizu gaped. Yami shot up, and then wished he hadn't.

"My Pharaoh. Don't do that. You need rest. No what do you think you are doing!"

Yami was getting up, shakily walking towards his cloths and dressing.

"I have to save Yugi," he grunted, swaying slightly. Ishizu rushed over trying to make him get back into the bed,

"No you can't you'll make the fever worse, you could die. It not worth it. He is only a slave" Ishizu regretted those words as they left her lips. That was her father's view coming through

"HE IS NOT JUST A SLAVE" Yami yelled, crimson eye's piercing her "he is like a brother to me. I will not let him die! Even at the cost of my own!" with that and a little help from the dark magician he stalked from the room to the room of Execution….

Ishizu sat, shocked a moment. Her hand resting on her millennium necklace. Then the necklace activated. Showing her a future. Yugi's future. Once the vision ended. Tears falling she turned to the statue of Horus.

"Why! Why must you be so cruel!"?

"What happens must. Time is ever flowing. Nothing is forever, not even gods"

Yugi was lead to the blood-covered block. But no fear entered hid heart. He was dimly aware of the accusations being read out by Padafar. And the executioner beside him cruel axe in hand. All this stopped however when a voice he knew well shouted out.

"STOP!"

Yami had dawn all his strength inside himself. So he could stand unaided. To appear that nothing was wrong with him. He saw Yugi bound, and covered in dried blood. His soul raged. He had promised the boy he would not be hurt again. His eye's locked with Amethyst; he saw no accusation, only trust.

"RELEASE HIM!"

Tristen ran over and let the boy go. He brought him beside the Pharaoh. Dark magician laid an almost possessive hand on the boys shoulder.

"But my Pharaoh! He is a traitor"

"He is no traitor. But you are a Fool! I relieve you and your fellow advisers of their roles. Leave my place!"

"bu bu bu but what shall we do?" this was not going to Padafar's plan

"It is no concern of mine. Get out!" he motioned the guards to remove them. Tristen did this gladly.

Yami strode from the room. The Dark magician and Yugi in tow. He was about to turn to make sure Yugi was all right when he felt his knees give way. He felt Yugi's small hands catch him. He noticed he nearly flattened the boy though. Then he felt the dark Magician pick him up. His head ached akin to knives being pushed through his skull, this made him gasp. He felt the soft embrace of his bed, felt Ishizu fussing. Then his consciousness left him.

Yugi watched as Yami passed out.

"Ra damit his Fever is worse. I told him not to get up. This could kill him damn Nile Fever."

Yugi's eyes widened in horror. That had been what killed his family!

"Ishizu please help him"

Ishizu turned round to that scared voice. Saw the tears falling. Yugi looked at her.

"It killed my family. Don't let it kill Yami!"

"I wont, and you will help me" Yugi nodded at this conviction in his eyes.

" Right. You must give him this every time he wakes" she handed him a flask " keep him cool with the cloth as before. And just stay with him. He will feel you here. Now lets look at you"

" No Yami is more important. What are a few more scars?"

"I have done all I can for him Yugi. Let me clean you up" Ishizu cleaned the back and bandaged it, then went to the dresser, fetching him some clean cloths. She then left; she knew the Pharaoh would live. The vision had show her that much. She would give them what little time as brothers they had left. She walked down the hallway. A single tear falling to the parched stone. It disappeared as if it had never been shed.

Yugi tended to Yami into the night. The young Pharaoh had become delirious. Crying at some points. From what Yugi could gather it was to do with Yami's father. Fear was in those cries. Yugi didn't think Yami feared anything, but even kings get scared.

He was stuck in one such nightmare now thrashing calling. It was doing him no good; he kept knocking the damp cloth off. Yugi had to calm him somehow. When a song came to mind. He dampened the cloth placing it back on the fevered brow; he then caught one flailing hand in his own and began to sing. Gently he stroked the hair such like his own in comfort. As his mother had don to him once upon a time. He saw the Pharaoh still. Muscles relaxing as the song took hold. In the corner the dark magician smiled as the song touched his heart too. It was like the vice of an angel

" May it be an evening star,

Shines down upon you.

May it be when darkness falls,

Your heart will be true.

You walk a lonely road.

Oh! How far you are from home.

Mornie Utulie

A promise lives within you now

A promise lives within you now.

As the last note died away. The Pharaoh was sleeping peacefully. The Fever broke that night. Yugi would never know how much of it was because of him. For in Yami's mind his father had been dragging him from life. If he had gone. His life would have ended. But the song. The song as if sung by an Angel had called him back. Had filled his dreams with peace.

That was Yugi's power. His pure heart, his love for the one called Yami. The Pharaoh who had become like a brother to him….in the end the choice…when it came……would not be hard.
