Warning: be aware for spoilers from now on!
-nervous laughter could be heard-
Bakura: Essy… where aaaare you? –hides scimitar behind back and smiles insanely-
Esther: -peeks head around corner and sneaks forward, trying to avoid Bakura's revenge-
Bakura: THERE YOU ARE! –jumps-
Esther: EEP! O.O –starts running in circles-
Bakura: -starts chasing in circles, swinging his scimitar- COME HERE YOU LITTLE WRETCH OF A WRITER! I'LL KILL YOU!
Esther: -squeals- I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry!
Bakura: -catches up and tackles Esther down- BEG FOR MERCY YOU LITTLE WITCH!
Esther: I'm not little! –angry look-
Lots of random people: -gasp-
Esther: -sweat drop- and I'm a woman… -looks at random people- remember?
Random people: -scratch head- Ow yeah! –smile nervously and leave room-
Bakura: What the- I don't want to know… What I do want to know is… WHY YOU LEFT ME HERE AGAIN FOR ALMOST ONE RADAMN MONTH!
Esther: I erm… I… had to… erm… -remembers certain review- brush my teeth!
-universal anime fall-
Bakura: -Sits up- for a month?
Esther: Hey, why are you sitting up? –pouts-
Bakura: o.O
Esther: Well, admit… it's not every day you get tackled by your favorite bishounen… -grins-
Bakura: -jumps up and flushes a bright color red- I… ne… erm… arghh… JUST SHUT UP AND GET WRITING!
Esther: -huffs- keh!
Note:
Kaa is a persons soul according to the Ancient-Egyptians. Point is that in yu-gi-oh they show Kaa as monsters, which can be good or bad according to the owners heart. Some person have Kaa and those creaturescan be compared to the duel monsters. of 'modern' times.
Under the reign of Yami (Atemu), Kaa of bad people were collected and sealed in huge stone tablets which the pharaoh and priests could summon later on. This resulting in something called theshadow games.
Point is, that most villains had evil kaa corrupting their hearts. Shadi could see this kaa with the sennen ankh and Seth (Seto) with the sennen rodthen sealed them... Karim with the sennen scales could look if a persons heart contained evil.
Blah blah... Anyways... If you hear people talking about the kaa, it's supposed to mean these monsters.
(an, according to me, quite hilarious side note: Kaa is considered to be the true image of a persons soul (as I just explained). Yami's real Kaa is the Kuriboh! -laughs ass off- (can you wonder why he always used other people's Kaa monsters and the Gods?))
Ok, I hope I got this piece of information right...
I bowed my head.
The time had arrived.
"Danger is upon us," I stated.
"Today."
"Now?" My pharaoh's strong voice echoed through the throne room.
I nodded in confirmation.
"Now."
The doors burst open, revealing someone's posture encircled by the light of the setting sun.
His long cloak waved in the wind, being of a deep, crimson color red.
It was him…
Ra's rays shattered on the numerous pieces of gold wrapped around his arms, ankles and neck
Confirmed my thoughts.
His aura was strong and devastating.
It almost felt as if I stood in front of that gate again.
As if I again was left over to his mercy, lying in front of the door.
Waiting for the vision to end.
I looked at him, but the sun blinded me.
Forced me to narrow my eyes.
I knew everyone was trying to suppress the ominous feelings clawing at their heart.
I knew they managed to.
But I also knew he wasn't on full power.
It was him…
But not completely.
There they all stood, exactly as suspected.
Their looks were priceless.
I could read the surprise and terror off their faces.
After one look at his priests, my gaze stayed resting on the one sitting on his throne.
He didn't see…
He didn't see yet…
But he would…
Soon…
I narrowed my eyes and laughed.
"Aren't you going to welcome, me? My pharaoh."
Sarcasm dripped off the edge of my voice.
The pharaoh, nothing muchmore than still a boy, gave me what he obviously thought would be a stern look.
"Make yourself known," he stated to me.
I didn't answer, but dropped every single piece of gold and jewelry in front of his throne.
"I had a boring day, so I decided…"
I could feel myself smirking, satisfied with the realizing, astonished look that appeared on the boy's face.
"I decided to pay an old friend of mine a visit…"
I pulled the rope and lifted the corpse half off the clean tiles.
"Aside from the fact him not looking too healthy…"
I threw a sideway look at the dead man dangling above the floor.
"You had some really lousy traps down there…"
The smirk never left my face as I watched the looks of horror and disgust being thrown at me.
One of them stepped forward.
He held a golden ankh in front of me as if he tried to repel me back.
It was the ankh.
The sennen ankh.
I tilted my head a little to the side.
At the same time, I decided to play before I went to kill him.
"Are you giving me that?"
I narrowed my eyes in a mockingly look.
"Because that's what I'm actually here for, you know…"
They all looked just too confident.
Too confident with themselves.
They were underestimating me.
Gravely.
"You can't touch these items, thief.
They're items of peace and justice.
They bring order to this lands.
Someone with a dark heart like you can't touch them, for they will only burn you until not even your bones remain."
It was an old man wearing long robes and a beard.
He looked at me with half a glare.
His other eye, was cold...
dead...
gold...
The sennen eye.
"What did you say, old man?" I asked, laughing about their stupidity, their blindness.
"Items of peace, you say… Items that will bring you order…"
Uncontrollable chuckles welled up from my throat.
"No, they won't bring you order…"
The chuckles swelled, becoming hard laughs, piercing and cutting the air.
Finally, after a while, I controlled my laughter and threw them my darkest look.
"They're made to destroy."
I examined their faces.
One by one.
"They seal a power that can destroy this whole world you say they protect."
I smirked, showing my teeth.
"A power that's meant to be mine."
The one with the ankh glared at me.
The pharaoh's counselor said something.
"He's only a thief… With probably a weak, evil kaa
We don't have to fear anything from him.
It's six priests against one tomb robber.
He won't stand a chance."
His words bore into my mind.
Yes, old man…
Six priests against one tomb robber…
So six ones will fall today
Then I will take my right…
My justice…
One of the priests stepped forward.
He held out two scales.
They were the scales from legend.
The scales to weight one's heart.
If it were heavier than a feather, that one would be doomed.
Have its heart eaten.
The scales emitted a strange, golden light.
Then they suddenly started to shake in the man's hand.
The man stammered, looking at me wide-eyed.
"I… I can't read his heart…"
Finally, they started to fully realize what they were up against.
"There's a shadow…" he whispered. "A great shadow"
"But it is too dark to reach."
A woman with dark blue eyes stepped forward.
She was the priestess of the necklace.
"Yes.." She said.
"He is that one, Karim.
He is the one who will open the gates from my vision.
He is the one I saw.
His darkness will destroy us all if we don't stop him."
I still smirked, unaffected.
They just managed to discover what I found out long ago.
Years ago…
On that faithful night.
No-one could see the darkness in me, can see it in me.
The one who searches won't find.
For I am the darkness.
And you won't find drops of water in the ocean.
Esther: BWAHAHAHAHAHAH! –takes in maniacal pose- It's done… IT'S ALIVE!
Bakura: Talk about exaggerating… It's even shorter than normal.
Esther: -pouts- but this seemed like such a great line to stop with…
Bakura: You have a weird obsession for comparing things to water… -sweat drops-
Esther: And that from someone who calls himself the darkness. –angry look-
Bakura: Hey, it's true! Besides… It works with the girls. –shrugs-
Esther: -nod, nod- true…
Bakura: How do you know, you're not a girl…
Esther: -anime anger sign appears on head- Then. What. Am. I? –raises scythe-
Bakura: eheheheh… never mind… -shuffles backwards-
Esther: Wow, talk about OOC!
Bakura: Hey, you were the one making me say that…
Esther: Also true…
Bakura: Next chapter will be longer too? –pleading OOC look-
Esther: Yup! And I have to tell that this story is not going to be canon from now on, because… -evil look- It's going to be Bakura's version of the past –pokes Bakura in the stomach- You all remember in the memory arc that is was actually Yami's memory being shown, so it was different from the past? This is the same actually… So it's going to be different… Memories tend to screw up already after a day or a minute, so just imagine what it would do after 3000 years…
Bakura: Wow, long speech, I'm starting to miss my occasional piece of comment…
Esther: -innocent smile- …Please shut your head my friend… –leans suggestively on scythe- …You never know what might happen to it when you don't…
–takes off hat and disappears in a poof of smoke-
Replies!
To albino-yaoi: Don't worry I will… Like I once said yesterday… This fic is my baby and nothing can stop me from finishing this! Mwahahah!
Bakura: Yeah, except for her laziness –sweat drop-
Me: grumble, grumble, growl. –hits Bakura over the head-
To Marjoram: -chuckles at you evilly- heheh… I had them removed in February… (took me three attempts to spell that month the good way… I'm used to 'februari') Anyways… Yeah, yeah… we all know you're great, now try to be a bit more modest with it, cuz… -bends over to you and whispers- I've got bad experiences with that. –stands up- Even though it's true, I'm the best, yes even better than you, I'm not going to shout it out becau… -gets brutally hit in the head by a shoe- …because of that… ouch! –shouts randomly at sky- RA, WOULD YOU STOP WITH THAT?
Voice from heavens: NO! STUPID EXCUSE FOR AN AUTHORESS! –Hits Esther with fireball-
To Psycho BakuRyou: -brushes charcoal off arm- heheh… Didn't see that one coming… -coughs lots of ash from her system-
That box only appears when you're not logged in, little one.
Random people: -gasp-
Me: -sweat drops- get the hell out of my reply…
Annnnnyways… Weee, your review was so lengthy… Indeed it was fun to read…
Mahaado is the one who has the sennen ring in the ancient Egyption arc, but I'm not going to say anything more because that could spoil things… (not that I'm unaware of this fic being one, big spoiler on itself… -innocent whistle-)
Yes… you weren't going to wait for a week… Turned out it took me a month to write… (actually two hours, but technically a month)
Be careful with what you wish for… You might actually get it!
-zooms off cackling evilly-
(heheh, sorry had a moment there, Psycho... But it wasn't because of your review... Just because of former named lazyness and a huge writersblock which I got rid off)
REVIEW PLEASE! -pleading look-
