Akkadia: down on her hands and knees please forgive me for taking so long with this chapter. The life monster literally attacked me!
Karria: you can say that again. I don't think I've ever seen my aibou that busy in all my life!
Yami: Well, now that you've got everything back on track pause wait, do you have everything back on track?
Karria: Oh, sure, Yami just rub it in
Yami: smirks
Karria: what are you thinking you dolt, that ís my job!
Akkadia: sarcastically thanks karria I feel soo much better
Yugi: May I ask you something Akkadia?
Akkadia: sure Yugi, fire away!
Yugi: why do we always have to do a disclaimer?
Akkadia: Well, if I didn't then I would be telling the world that your mine goes into chocolate monster mode all mine, laughs like a maniac
Karria: Oh, no not again! runs over and pounces Akkadia Yami, could you please!
Yami: Akkadia doesn't own us under breath thank god!
Yugi: backing away from Akkadia slowly enjoy the fic!
A/N: Ok, just like my intro says, the life monster literally attacked me. I lost the spiral for this story, school has been chasing me with homework, and my computer hasnít exactly been my bestfriend! Thatís just a brief preview of my chaotic life! So in other words I am extremely sorry it took so long for this chapter. Well, if I still have readers out there, enjoy chapter 12! Btw, the computer I'm working on is a witch at the moment so all apostrophes will be replaced with the letter I! Sorry!
Chapter 12
The naturally controlled aura that surrounded the Pharaoh swiftly diminished into the air. In its place was a dark colored aura. Without even thinking, Yami turned around and fired a shadow spear straight at the wall. When the smoke faded, there was nothing left of the wall, save a few lingering pieces. Another shadow spear was fired. But this attack was heading straight for Seto. The high priest pulled back his robes and the spear reflected off his own items. Seto concentrated and managed to force the shadow spear to dissolve into thin air. Yami just looked at Seto with a blank expression plastered on his face before returning to his assault.
Seto started walking towards the PharaohìYami, please stopî He was stopped in his tracks by Shadiís hand. Seto looked at the guardianìWhat is itî
Shadi walked over until he was on the opposite side of YamiìWe must let him
go, Seto.î he looked at the high priest who was delivering him an expression that spoke pure confusionìYami must use his energy. He must release his anger here and now. For if he doesnít, the outcome of his behavior in the real world is unknown.î
Seto nodded, now aware of the guardianís words. The two of them waited until Yami finally ceased his attacks and collapsed to the ground. He was literally out of breath and dripping with perspiration. Seto walked over to his fallen friend and pulled him into a tight embrace. For a few lingering moments, the high priest turned white and the Pharaoh drew in newfound strength. Seto released Yami and stood upìDonít even think of it, Yami.î
Yami looked up at his high priestìBut Seto, you have no right nor reason to give me your strength, I am not worthy of it. I attacked you, rememberî he stood up and took hold of his millennium puzzleìI guess, Iím still not fully accustomed to my powers, yet.î He spoke with a weak chuckle leading his words.
Shadi nodded in agreementìThat is true my Pharaoh. You have much to learn and many secrets that your mother and father left behind before they began their journey to Anubisí kingdom, to uncover.î The item guardian walked over to KaylanaìI must take my leave. Kaylana, do as your fellow shadow creatures will and follow the path to your rightful master.î With that, Shadi placed his hands on the black dragon and the two of them were aglow for a moment. Shadi removed his hands and turned to face Yami and SetoìShe may now pass into the human world. I wish you good luck and bid you farewell.î A white aura engulfed Shadi and he disappeared once again.
(A/N: Ok, just to let everyone know. This may sound kind of confusing. Well, let me explain something. You see, in this story, the shadow realm isnít as bad is it is in the present. The area in which Jonouchi, Mokuba, and Yugi are trapped in, however is kinda like the shadow realm in the present. Itís kinda hard to explain, so please just bare with me. Ok, Iíll shut up now! Back to the story!)
Meanwhile
Jonouchi looked over at the trembling figure he thought was his friend. But this wasnít Yugi. This poor creature had been to hell and back more times than anyone could even imagine. With a heavy sigh, the blonde teen crawled over to Yugi and placed a hand on the shivering boyís shoulder. For a split second, Yugi appeared to be unaware of his surroundings and he jerked away from Jonouchiís touchìItís all right Yugi. Iím not going to hurt you.î Jonouchi spoke with calmest most soothing tone his voice could musterìPlease, Yugi.î He opened his arms as if to sayëIíll protect you, palí After much hesitation, Yugi crawled into his best friendís embrace and sobbed quietly into his chestìShh, there, there now.î
ìIím so sorry about all this, Jouî Yugi spoke up between his sobsìIf I hadnít spoken up when I did at the auction, none of this would have happened.î he trembled uncontrollably in his friends arms.
Jonouchi just hugged his friend closerìYugi, donít say that. Iím glad all of this happened. I mean think about it, if we hadnít been rescued by the Pharaoh and Seto, I would never had found Shizukaî
Mokuba looked over at the two friends and felt a faint searing pain, poking at his heart. He stood up and walked over to the twoìJonouchiís right. It isnít your fault...itís mine.î he was shot with confused expressions on the other twos facesìMaybe it will make more sense if I explain mine and my brotherís past.î
Akkadia: Ok, extremely cruel place to stop, but I have no choice!
Karria: punching a punching bag with Anzuís face on it
Yami: walks in and sees the bag Let me at her! Let me at her!
Karria: steps to the side by all means!
Yami: literally destroys the bag
Yugi: walks in and automatically sweat drops I donít even want to know.
Akkadia: laughs Well, I promise, chapter 13 will be up a hell of a lot sooner.
Karria: 3 reviews chapter 13!
Yugi: Yami, I think itís pretty much dead!
Everyone: sweatdrops as Yami starts up a chainsaw
Yami: Not yet...
