To be honest, I didn't think I was going to finish this fic. I've been pretty distracted as of late, but thanks to a few reviews and even emails, I've been jaded into writing more, lol. I suppose I'll wait and see just how many more people want me to continue. If people still want to read more than I'm more than pleased to do so. I hope this chapter still fits with the others since it's been so long since I've written anything. Well, as always ... Enjoy!
Seto sneered as a lone chariot raced across the darkend desert. It's path guided by the full moon light.
"Pharaoh."
Climbing down from the rock structure he was on he made it to the ground just as a five Libyan soilders appraoched him.
"Sir, we're here to help you, as ordered by our king."
"Perfect," the priest glanced behind him, "Stop that chariot. But don't kill the man inside. Wait till I say so."
The guards bowed then quickly jumped onto their horses. They speed towards their opponent, kicking up sand in their wake. Upon approaching the chariot, it's driver, hidden in a dark-long cloak, glanced at them. Turning sharp, he avoided their advancement, but not for long.
Thinking quickly, the five guards surrounded the chariot. Drawing their swords, they approached the chariot on foot. Jumping from the chariot and drawing his sword, a short battle ensued. In the midst of which, the cloak was thrown off the driver. His blond hair being blown by the desert wind.
"Jouno!" Seto glared, still hidden behind the rock.
Flashback
Yami was furious as he jumped onto his chariot and prepared to rescue Anzu.
"Please wait, my Pharaoh," Isis slowly approached him.
"There's no time, I must hurry." His concern for Anzu was only equaled with his hatred for his now former High Priest.
"I am aware of this, but I just had another vision."
His eyes widened as he turned to face the priestest. "Of what?"
"If you continue your path, Seto shall find and destroy you. A direct approach will not work My Lord."
Yami scowled as he realized his plans would fail him. Jumping off the side of his chariot, he began to pace back and forth. Looking out into the distant desert, the moon hanging high in the sky, all he wanted to do was run out and find her.
"If I head out like I had planned, he'll find me. If I take a back path, he's bound to realize that I'm on my way and still find some way to stop me." He walked over to the walls of the palace and slammed his fist into it, "What the HELL am I supposed to do!?"
A hand rested on Yami's shoulder, "Don't you worry 'bout it." Jouno smiled at his friend. "I have a plan."
End flashback
Seto walked towards the captain of the guards. "Well now, this was quite a surprise. I was expecting the Pharaoh. Let me guess," he humored himself as he slowly walked around Jouno who was being kept still with a blade at his throat, "Priestess Isis had another one of her wonderful visions!" He threw his hands up in the air enthusiasticly. "Warning Yami of all my little dangers? And this little plan to distract me with you was arranged? Well, am I right?"
"Dead on." Jouno still managed to look menacing, even with a swored at his neck. Holding a cocky smile that made Seto's blood boil.
"No," the former priest turned away from Jouno and began to walk to his horse. He got on and road a few feet away in the direction of the palace, "That'd be you."
Snapping the horses reigns and riding off he yelled out, "Kill him!"
Sword clashes could be heared as he raced back to the city, confident in the guards ability to kill the stupid Captain.
'I realize Yami's probably on his way to Anzu,' He thought to himself, 'but Bakura is there and should prove quite the match for the foolish Pharaoh. In the mean time, I'll head to the Libyan camp and make new plans there."
Yami leaned foreward on his horse, urging it to go faster. Considering that he hadn't been stopped yet, he assumed that Jouno's plan had worked.
'Please be safe,' his thoughts reached out to his Captain and childhood friend, greatful for his help.
Isis had given Yami a vague direction as to where Anzu maybe as according to her vision. Everything looks the same in the desert after all, but Yami seemed to recall a hearing about a cave that lay out a way into the desert.
He made his way to the cave entrance. Stopping a good distance away, he got off his horse and slowly neared mouth of the dark tunnel.
Looking inside, a distant light could be seen flickering. Knowing this was the place, the took extreme caution. Finally making it to the end of the tunnel, the cave opened and brightened up with the lit tourches around.
His eyes widened as he saw Anzu chained to the far wall. Growling softly, he promised to kill Seto himself whenever he got the chance.
Looking around some more he spoted a silver-haired man. His back faced Yami as he remained motionless. For a moment, Yami thought he was alseep. However, the man stood up, still facing away from the Pharaoh, and walked out of his sight.
'Where'd he go?' Yami thought as he slowly walked further into the opening.
Taking this as a chance, Yami rushed to Anzu's side. Her head was resting on her knees, her face hidden from sight.
"Anzu," Yami reached for her. He knelt infront of her and lifted her head softly up. Startled, she jerked back at first, then realized it was Yami.
"Y...Yami?" Her eyes widened as she stared at him.. "By the gods! I thought they were going to kill you!" She reached out for him and he held her in his arms, but quickly pulled away.
"We'll talk later. Right now I have to get you out of here." He struggled with the chains and glanced around for the keys.
A jingling noise rang from behind him as a humored voice called out.
'Looking for these?"
I'm sure there are a million and one spelling errors in this chapter, I wrote it on WordPad, which doesn't have SpellCheck (my guiding light and saviour at school!). Other than that, I'd really like to know what people thought of this chapter. So please review! Good or bad, I'd like to know.
Take care everyone and Thanks!
