Ch. 15 all ready? Gees, well I'm sorry about taking so long (two weeks…no excuse for that). Well enjoy!
As always I don't Yu Gi Oh! Oh how I wish I did…
Cirquet walked into the study only to find that Yugi and his friends were still there.
"I thought you all left all ready?" she asked calmly.
"Ha, no one's goanna scare any of us away from here," Joey smirked proudly.
"Besides who ever this Saburo is, she'll just come after Yugi eventually," Tea added.
"Such brilliant logic," Richie added as he entered the study. Dosu and Lan entered behind him.
"We tried to get them to leave, but they wouldn't hear it," Dosu smiled.
"They're not exactly too concerned with their safety, but I do believe the Kaiba brothers have left something about having no time for such nonsense or something like that," Lan mumbled.
"Kaiba, that rich snob, he won't help anyone out!" Joey yelled out.
"Gees man, he's probably worried about Mokuba," Tristan said.
"I don't need his help anyway," Cirquet announced rather annoyed.
A slight knock rang up against the door, and Ryou walked in.
"Hi," he said rather shyly.
"Hey," Cirquet blushed as she waved for him to come towards her.
"Bakura we were looking for you everywhere! Where were you?" Tea asked with concern.
"Asleep."
Cirquet could tell he was lying, she knew his dark side was behind his disappearance, though even she didn't know what he could be up to. Ryou looked up at her, his eyes caught her own, he simply nodded his head in recognition about what she thinking.
"So this Saburo, she's only after Yugi for power?" Tea asked.
"Huh…oh yes," Cirquet answered with a bit of surprise.
"So she wants Yugi's Millennium Puzzle?" Tea continued.
"Uhm…yeah, you know I really don't know. It seems that way, but I don't know if she would want the power of the pharaoh, it's much too…oh what's the word…dated."
"Wait, you know about the other Yugi?" Joey asked.
"Uh…yeah, since we first met. Well actually my friends…my friends sensed it, I mean the other spirit and I remember somebody telling me about it. You know it might have been Shadi, in fact I think it was him, well either him or Theodore. But I do know that Yugi has the spirit of an ancient pharaoh, a ruler whose bloodline started with the very same ruler that had sent two of priest who helped to seal away Saburo. Uh…what is that?" Cirquet asked suddenly. A strange sound resounded through her mind, a terrible cry of pain and tourment.
"My friends, they…they…she's torturing them…ah…she's going to kill them!" Cirquet shouted out loud. Her eyes glow a crazy green color; light green clashed with dark, fear was overcoming her. Saburo was some how showing her what was happening with her friends.
"What…Cirquet, are you all right?" Ryou asked he grabbed her hand to try to comfort her. It shook violently and was cold as ice, tears streaked down Cirquet's face.
"She…she…killed him…she…kil…uh…huh," Cirquet stared in disbelief as the tears continued to flow.
"Who, who killed who?" Yugi, Joey, Lan, and Dosu asked together.
Richie looked at his younger sister. The two shared the closest bond, being the closest in age, he knew what happened.
"Saburo killed Morte," he responded calmly.
Everyone looked up towards him as he simply looked at his sister. Tears filled his eyes; he knew the bond that Morte and Cirquet shared, though he sometimes never understood it, and it tore him apart to see his sister under such torment again.
"Cirquet?" he asked calmly.
"I'm going to kill her," she said so low that no one could understand it.
"Cirquet?" Bakura asked.
"I'm going to kill her, I'm going to kill that harpy and make sure she stays in her grave. I'll make sure to send her to the deepest parts of Shio," Cirquet said dangerously calm. Her eyes glowed the darkest they had ever done before, they were to black coals. Darkness exuded from her in waves, her body no longer shook with rage or sadness, she was far past that, nothing but pure hatred coursed through her.
"Cirquet?" Lan, Dosu, and Richie said together.
"Uh…is she okay?" Joey asked.
"No, I'm not fine!"
"…Uh…Cirquet, are you going after her?" Yugi asked.
"No, she's coming to me," Cirquet said as she left the study. Ryou followed her out, he really didn't know what to do but Bakura told him to follow or he would take over and do it himself.
'Little Ryou are you concerned with your little friend?" Bakura teased, "You know I think I like her more like this, it…excites me…doesn't excite you as well Little Ryou," his yami laughed.
Ryou tried to block out Bakura's thoughts, he wanted to find Cirquet, to just see if she was all right and tell her what it was he wanted to tell her.
"Cirquet!" he yelled out.
"Bakura! There you are," Yugi said breathing hard.
"Yugi, I can't find Cirquet," he said rather worried.
"Ryou, Yugi…" Cirquet voice echoed from a darkened hall.
"Something is not right," Bakura said, he had taken control over Ryou when he heard Cirquet's voice.
"I agree, something isn't right," Yami added.
Both yami's had control over their light and both sensed a terrible power just down the darkened hall. Laughter rolled down the hall, sending chills down their spines.
"Come little boys, you won't win," the voice teased.
"Well shall we tempt fate?" Yami asked. He decided he could stand Bakura at least for now.
"Of course," Bakura grinned.
Cirquet's eyes flittered open slowly. They had to adjust to the bright light of this new room. It looked somewhat familiar to her for some reason. Cloaked figures stood around the temple like room and in the center four bodies lay sprawled out; pools of blood were being created under each.
"My friends!" Cirquet called out.
She was about to walk forward when two hands grabbed her shoulder. Cirquet turned around only to be face to face with two people. She looked carefully at them, they seemed familiar to her. The one on the right was draped in prayer beads the other carried an odd mirror.
"Magia, Protezione lei è qui, lei è vivo (you are here, you are alive)?" she asked in disbelief.
"Siamo stati con lei, nella molto profondità della sua anima (We have been with you, in the very depth of your soul)," Magia responded.
"Saburo era in grado di prendere porge sugli altri. Ha distrutto i loro corpi, ma le loro anime sono altrove intrappolate (Saburo was able to get her hands on the others. She has destroyed their bodies, but their souls are trapped elsewhere)," Protezione added.
"Finché tutti noi ha ucciso, non può usare che i nostri poteri completamente per si liberare (Until she has us all killed, she can not use our powers to fully free herself)."
"Dunque dovrebbe voi tutti non sono tuttavia il nascondiglio (So shouldn't you all still be hiding)?"
"È anche tardi, Morte è morto, ha la maggior parte dei suoi poteri, con che potrebbe trovarci facilmente e finisce i nostri viveri come bene (It is too late, Morte is dead, she has most of her powers, with that she could easily find us and end our lives as well)."
"Che dice Protezione è vero. Dobbiamo colpire adesso Ciquet (What Protezione says is true. We must strike now Cirquet)," Magia said calmly.
Cirquet looked up towards her two friends; she didn't understand what they were talking about.
"I suoi amici possono aiutare. Ma per il la maggior parte di separa sarà la sua responsabilità (Your friends can help. But for the most part it will be your responsibility)."
"Miniera… (Mine)."
"There you are Saburo!" Yami's voice yelled out.
"Hmm, so you idiots decided to follow your little friend," Saburo laughed.
"Where's Cirquet," Bakura asked in a dangerous manner.
"Humph, why should I tell you?"
"Guys, I'm right here," Cirquet said rather confused.
"They can not see you," Magia whispered while she grabbed Cirquet.
"Neither can she," Protezione added pointing to Saburo.
"You boys, silly boys, hmm, look around, you see her friends they're dead. And she's off much worse…much, much worse," Saburo laughed wickedly.
"Cirquet, you have the power to stop her, but we've never wanted to use it," Magia explained.
Cirquet looked up towards her in surprise.
"When did you learn English?" was her only response. Magia smiled and grabbed her in a tight hug. Protezione smiled solemnly at the two.
"After this is over, we will be gone," he said sadly.
Magia looked Cirquet in the eyes, "You may be gone as well," she sighed.
Cirquet didn't understand what her friends were talking about.
"You see your soul houses the last spirit of the dark dragons, the very last seal," Magia explained.
"If…if we do it correctly there is still a very slim chance you may survive."
"But…what…what are talking about. I don't understand?" Cirquet cried. She felt like a little girl again, lost and confused. Everyone seemed to know what was going on but her.
"You're about to face the power of my Dark Magician!" Cirquet heard Yami call out. His words seemed to fade in and out before everything blacked out.
