Ch. 2 strange things

Yami walked the grounds of his palace enjoying the shade of palm leaves that were being waved gently by a few servants. His priests walked behind him. It was a peaceful morning till sounds of screams came from the city just out side the palace walls. Yami's curiosity took hold of him, he went to investigate.

"Pharaoh, what are you doing? Let the city guards take care of this matter." A tall priest with sort brown hair and sharp blue eyes attempted to persuade Yami. This failed, and off Yami went,

"Why dose he have to be 15? Our king is a child." The same priest said

"Well since his father died its law" another priest, this one with sandy blond hair and bright violet eyes replied to the first ones question. The two raced after the young king. Yami had gone into the city.

The scream of a young child came from the city, Yami races to the spot. He came to an ally; two people lay dead on the ground, blood soaked sand every were. In horror Yami looked up to see a man with a raised sword, hovering over a small child. She had already been attacked. Yami viewed a deep slash on her right arm. The man raised the sword, bringing it down quickly toward the child.

Yami ran forward and kicked the man in the back; the man almost lost his balance, but kept it barely. He turned around to see the pharaoh. This man seemed to have no idea who Yami was. The man was a simple peasant, he seemed entranced, unaware of anything he was doing. Yami hesitated, but soon tripped the commoner, knocking the sword out of his hands. Yami sprinted to grab the blade. Only then did Yami realize that the man had another weapon, a smaller dagger. He slashed it at Yami, cutting his hand Yami jumped back. The man stood, staggering towards the child; he drove the blade swiftly towards her…

So suddenly, Yami drove the sword through the mans back before the blade reached the sobbing girl. He walked to her, she looked up surprised,

"Pharaoh! Th-thank you!" she panicked' the girl hadn't seen Yami's face. She tried to bow, but slipped on her badly injured arm. She whimpered, tears and blood covered the ground. Yami smiled in pity.

"Don't worry, you don't need to bow" he put is uninjured hand on the Childs cheek softly and lifted her head to meet her eyes.

Quickly Yami sat up, that was the second time he has had that dream, but his time with more detail….that girl, she seems vaguely familiar. But from where? All Yami's dreams and visions from his past seem familiar and clear after the first time, with a few unsolved questions, yes, but this particular dream is standing out somehow. As if it dose not want to be discovered. Why? He wondered. He new who the two priests were, Kiba and Marrick. Or at least that's who they looked like. The similarities were too apparent.

Yami appeared out side of his soul room, into Yugi's room. His alarm clock said "12:36" Walking to the window to look at the stares he saw outside to the window next to his. The window was one on the upper floor of Samantha's home, Yami didn't know why he couldent take his eyes off of her, there was something mysterious about her that made him "weak at the knees." Yami shook his head and looked up to the sky, it was a clear night and Yami could see the stars well through the branches of the tree just outside of the window. The moon was also visible, a bright, full sphere, engulfed with magnificence.

Just then, out of the corner of his eye, Yami saw Samantha moving in her room through the window. She was wearing a silky white night shirt that had accented her feature's quite well, with p.j. pants to match. Here golden hair glimmered under the little moon light that filled into her room. Yami watched intently; his heart began to race as she began to undress her self and changed her clothes. She put on a black tank-top with an Egyptian style cobra on the front. And dark blue baggy jeans. She came to the window, and Yami leaned against the wall just out of her sight; but he glanced around the corner just enough to still see her.

Samantha walked out the door of her room, and then soon enough came out from the back door. She began to walk out to the street. Yami bolted, he picked up a pair of jeans and slipped them on; then ran down stairs and out the door. Yami planed on following her, not sure what she was up to at this time of night. Samantha unknowingly led Yami clear across town; forest grew here, just beyond the city park. Further and further she went. Where was she going? Finally she came to a small clearing out of the trees. She pulled something out from underneath her shirt. He couldent get a good look of the item, but when she brought it into view, his Millennium Puzzle began to glow brightly; Yami soon saw that her item was glowing as well.

Samantha still hadn't realized that Yami was there; at least he didn't think so. Yami continued to watch, waiting to see what she was up to. For a few seconds she did nothing, but soon, she began to speak something, Yami listened… she was speaking in a tongue he had never heard before. She seemed to be chanting almost… then soon, to Yami's surprise a creature like nothing that could ever exists landed in front of Samantha from the air.

Jaroo here, I will type down the description of this creature… but I'll suggest that you go to this site to get a better idea of what she looks like, she sorta hard to comprehend: www.ihs. creature seemed to be a tiger of some kind, its body structure alone proved that, but her face was more wolf-like then cat like. She was black, with tiger-like strips all over her body, her tail though, was strange… black and white diamond shaped marking, surrounded in the opposite color shaped in an almost perfect rectangle. Each white diamond had a black circle in the middle. A white marking that looked like the half of a heart, sat at the tip of her tail. Her face had a white marking that almost looked like a mask. One other odd marking was around her neck, it clearly resembled fire. But a marking resembling fire was easily over looked by actual fire; like a mane flames streamed down from her head to the underside of her tail, fire also consumed her chest, and all 4 of her legs. Of course this is the oddest aspect of this creature, but she also had massive silver wings. (Obviously since she flew down to Samantha) she has shimmering blue eyes and Yami could barley see golden fangs on the sides of her mouth. And the strangest thing was a jewel on her forehead; it was probably 3 inches long and 1 ½ inches wide. The base was shaped into a diamond made out of gold. At the top of this gold base was a small, round, silver jewel. And below that was a rare black diamond in the shape of a heat, or at least that's what it looked like.

" where have you been?" the creature spoke, her voice rang pure beauty, as if it were the sound of gentle waves crashing into shore, the sunset reflecting on a thousand ripples. Her voice almost seemed entrancing, mysterious, godly…

"Sorry Kristol, I didn't mean to worry you. I-uh, had some things to take care of." Samantha said in reply

"Sam, what happened? Your hiding something." Kristol looked at Samantha in demanding worry.

"I guess I cant hid this from you…" Samantha sighed deeply. She pulled her shirt up just far enough to see the odd wounds she had been trying to hide. Yami saw now that they looked very much like claw marks (with out any blood, it was easier to see)

"She attacked me, I… I didn't want to worry you. I know how you are with her." Samantha said, she was upset about it for what ever reason, and who is "She?" Yami wondered. The creature sighed heavily then smiled weakly.

"I would rather know what she did to you, then to find you dead, Samantha. And you know that." She looked hard at the girl.

"I'm sorry Kristol… well then, d-do you think that you could possibly heal this?" Samantha said

"Sort of. I probably wont be able to heal it all the way, but I could at least seal the wound." Kristol said with a sigh. She walked to Samantha, who was still holding up her shirt. Kristol lowered her head down to the level of the wound, and just like a dragon, the cat like creature breathed a small stream of fire over the scared skin. Almost instantly the wound closed, Samantha cringed just a little but she didn't seem to be in horribly great pain. Yami gazed at this with wide eyes. Yami was used to duel monsters, but mostly holograms, not living breathing, flesh and blood…and fire Creatures. Yes there was that one time when duel monsters were roaming the city and that Dartz guy was trying to take over the world but as strange as that was, it was more logical then this thing. That one time also had a lot to do with cards, where did this thing come from?

"What the hell?" Yami whispered. Just as he said that, both Kristol and Samantha looked in his direction… they turned back quickly and looked eye to eye. When they began to speak again they spoke in the mysterious language as so Yami could not ear them.

Jaroo: When ever this language is being spoken it will be in and typed in English (of course) so you know what they are saying.

Kristol Some one is eavesdropping on our conversation Samantha…

Samantha I know, I heard them too. What do you propose that we do with them?

Kristol I don't know, is he friend or foe? Then I will decide

Samantha looked over toward Yami, Kristol looked as well, but more her ears were facing his direction more then her eyes were.

"Show your self!" Samantha demanded. Yami was out on a limb now. They knew he was there, they just didn't know it was him.

"Make your presence known." Kristol said with a low growl. Yami reluctantly and slowly walked out to where they could see him, he only obeyed because he feared the creature that growled at him. Samantha laughed amused, very amused.

"Ah… Yugi…wait" Samantha paused

"No you're not Yugi…. No, you seem older, different." She laughed again.

"I see… I know who you are… or, at least who you where. Kristol do you know who this is? Take a close look." She smirked. Kristol looked Yami down from head to toe one time, and then lowered her head in a bow. Yami stepped back out of some embarrassment and fear.

"Yami… my king." Kristol smiled

"w-wha- who…how do you… know me?" Yami attempted to speak

"How much do you know about your past?" Kristol looked him in the eyes, as if she was reading his mind

"Uh…bits and pieces, but that's it." Yami replied

Samantha I knew it… Kristol. He really did get rid of his memory. Damn!

Kristol yes but I wonder… do you see that item he has around his neck?

Yami listened confused as to what they were talking about. Constantly they looked at him and his puzzle. Were they planning to take it? Soon enough they stopped talking to on another and Samantha walked toward Yami.

"Yami, hold out that item of yours." Samantha asked… well more liked demanded in a nice way. Yami refused, Samantha smiled and took her item off her neck and held it up to Yami. He could now see it more clearly. It looked exactly like the jewel atop Kristol's forehead

"Have you ever seen this before? Or any thing like it?" Samantha asked. Yami shook his head quickly.

"Yami, I know you think that I'm going to steal that item of yours, it's actually easy to see that. But I just simply wish to see something." Samantha persisted. Yami reluctantly, with out taking the puzzle off, held it up in front of Samantha. She placed one of her hands on his puzzle and her other hand was tight around her jewel. Samantha closed her eyes, Yami saw that a marking of a paw with the markings of the same jewel, began to glow bright blue on her forehead. At the same time Yami felt the Sennen eye appear on his own head. Samantha let go, when she opened her eyes they flashed red quickly, and then went back to blue. Yami jumped when this happened.

"Samantha, it is almost dawn. I must go." Kristol interrupted, then with sudden ease she lifted of the ground. Wind and dust swirled under her as her wings flapped, then she few away with imposable speed. Yami stood in gaze, Samantha slapped her hand on his shoulder.

"You have much to remember, pharaoh." She said then walked off back where she had come from. Yami followed only because she seemed to know where she was going, and he never paid attention when he followed her in the first place.
