Laughing in the Dark
Next chapter.
And here we are.
Yami is an unconscious little twig over there...
Noa is trying to get herself ready for battle...
Yugi is trying not to do something stupid.
We're all just happy and doing fine.
All is well...
Right?
HA!
Not after this chapter!
And Noa will still reveal some more of her odd werewolf habits.
Er...
I don't think habit is the right word.
Oh well.
Shall we begin?
We shall.

Laughing in the Dark
Darkness Before Daybreak
So now you'll know after time has passed
You can never be sure you're always the best
'Cause I'm back from the shadows comin' after you
On the brightest day of your darkest hour
So now, watch as I rise to a whole new height
And my mad battle cry will be heard all night
Noa looked at the holy blades before her, her homid form weapons. These were her throwing stars, her shuriken. She flopped down on the couch, head in her hands.
"Why the hell am I doing this? I don't even like humans, and I hate that damn pharaoh. What is making me feel obligated to do this?" She asked herself over and over again.
Because of your commandments
Noa listened to the voice. It was right. Her commandments, The Litany. The first one...it even told her...
...for all are creations of Gaia...
It was true. Noa was trying, trying desperately to redeem herself for all of her past crimes. She wasn't doing this for Yugi and Yami's well being. She was doing this for her own selfish desires, for her redemption. But that was changing now. She was changing her purpose now. She was changing herself.
"I'm changing now. I am leaving the now behind and stepping forwards..."
She heard Yugi step through the door, returning from school. Noa rose to her feet and turned to him.
"Leave your books wherever, we're going after Yami."

Noa watched silently from her spot in the shadow, holding the blades between her fingers. She kept one eyes on Yugi, circling around the glen to get behind Yami. The other eye watched the cult, waiting for her moment. She slowly and silently removed her hat and her coat, watching carefully. Her ears flicked forwards as all the cult members turned to Yami, hearing sounds.
Noa attacked.
Eight holy blades shot out from the shade and toppled most of the cultists. Noa sprang from her hiding place in full Chrinos form, taking people out left and right. Yugi shot out from the brush and tried to work the lock on Yami's chain. He tried to keep his eyes on his work, but occasionally he'd look up to see Noa rip someone in half and then jump to the next one. There were screams and horrid sounds of tearing flesh as Noa flew through cult members and Blighted Dancers to make her way to the Bone King.
"You have tampered with forces you don't understand." The Bone King said.
"Have you ever fought a Chrinos form Gaoru? An enraged one?"
"I don't need experience, I have God on my side!"
The whip of bones snaked towards the Chrinos-form Noa. Her "hands" glowed a lime green and her voice wavered with thousands of other voices.
"WYLD WARP!" She shouted.
The whip snaked around and struck at the Bone King, severing his whip arm. Noa laughed like a fiend and jumped at him. His other hand glowed red and struck Noa in the jaw. She jumped back, bleeding. Her ears folded against her wolf-head and her lips curled back, revealing her sharp white teeth. Her eyes blazed with anger.
"Why do you give a damn about the Nameless One? He has done nothing but resent and hate you ever since you two crossed paths."
"Because I am no longer fighting for just myself."
Noa's eyes turned blue and green, and soon the glow spread over her entire body. The ground began to shake, and the Bone King stepped back.
"Gaia, let loose your rage upon this fool." Noa whispered.
Great tree roots sprang from the ground and shot at the Bone King from all sides. Ever root hit its mark, and he was reduced to a pile of flesh and cloth.
"Noa! I need help!"
Noa turned around and shifted to her lupine form. She bounded over to Yugi's side in one simple leap, reverting to homid (human) form.
"What is this? Is this why he isn't waking?" Yugi asked, pointing to a line of the dried liquid that was tracing from his mouth to his chin.
Noa cupped Yami's face in her hands and licked a bit of the liquid. Yami began to stir.
"Something..." She muttered.
She licked the rest of the red from Yami's face, just as he came too.
"Whaaa?"
"Nothing." Yugi said, having had no luck trying to get the chain loose.
Noa began inspecting the symbols. Yami turned bright red, not exactly wanting her to be looking him over whilst he was slightly naked. Noa stopped, but then suddenly grabbed his knees and looked at the inside of his thigh. Her eyes widened for a moment before they darkened with anger.
"Is something wrong?" Yami asked.
Noa grabbed Yami by the neck and shoved him back against the spire.
"I read wrong. You're a soul doll..." She hissed.
"What! Noa!" Yugi cried in confusion.
"This isn't Yami. That damned Bone King isn't dead."
"What do you mean!"
"He locked Yami inside so he could take over. Yami is trapped..."
