Chapter 13-
Crystal's POV-
Shadi vanished after he had dropped me off at Ryou's house. I couldn't help reliving the events of the past few days. 'Why me?' I sighed softly as I stepped into the living room and stopped as my eyes fell upon two distinctive figures on the couch. 'Bakura. Ryou.' I walked over to them and sat down on my knees while reaching my hand up to brush through Ryou's hair. I shifted my gaze to look up at Bakura and smiled. 'He looks so harmless in his sleep.' I reached up and placed a kiss on each of their foreheads then stood up walking upstairs into the bathroom. I locked the door then stripped down climbing into the tub. Turning the hot water on, I sat down allowing the tub to fill itself while closing my eyes. The Millennium Necklace's power kicked in as my mind floated back to ancient times.
Flash back (from Our Forbidden Love)-
Akifa (Bakura) looked away, staring out over the shifting sands.
Something was bothering him and I could tell. I moved closer towards him and set my hand upon his shoulder. He shifted his gaze looking back at me without changing his expression. I smiled gently while nuzzling his ear with my nose. He chuckled softly while tilting his head away from me.
"That tickles." He whispered while turning to face me. "Aren't you afraid of me?" His eyes bore into mine as I just shook my head. "Why?"
I smiled a bit nervously, completely unaware myself. "I guess I just feel comfortable around you."
He pulled himself closer to me, lingering his face only a few inches from mine. I didn't make any attempt to move or flinch, I just stared back at him. He smiled a bit himself, who could have known a tomb robber could smile like that? He leaned forward and kissed me softly. Surprised by this, I reacted by kissing him back.
End of flash back-
I opened my eyes while suddenly gasping for air. 'That was strange. The Millennium Necklace never allowed me to view events from my own point of view.' I sighed while reaching back and taking the necklace off and placing it on the cabinet beside me. "I think that is enough flash backs for the time being." 'Too many the past few days.'
Bakura's POV-
I woke up after hearing footsteps leave the living room as I opened my eyes seeing a strange figure leave the room. I slowly moved Ryou out of my lap and followed cautiously behind the intruder. I watched as it moved into the bathroom and heard the water come on in the tub. 'What kind of intruder walks into your house and uses your bathroom?' Suddenly I collapsed onto the floor, my head throbbing in pain. "What is this?" I watched as time blurred past me and suddenly I was in the palace chambers. 'What the hell?' I lost control of my body as the image of the desert came into view. I felt someone nuzzle my ear as I glanced back and saw a young girl come into view. 'Chris!' I watched her smile as I chuckled softly. "That tickles." I soon turned to face her. "Aren't you afraid of me?" I watched as she shook her head. 'One person who never feared me…' "Why?" I could tell she wasn't so sure herself. Watching her fidget made me want to laugh a bit. I smiled at her and leaned in to kiss her. 'Why am I being shown this? Hello!'
"Argh." I reached up and grabbed a hold of the hand and pulled at it, it didn't move. 'Figures, it's locked.' I started pounding at the door then. "Who is in there!" I heard the sound of moving water and footsteps inside. Then the latch unlocking the door as it opened slowly. "Chris!" I watched her smile at me as I pushed open the door and wrapped my arms around her. "You're home!"
"Yep. Glad to be home too." She leaned up and kissed me on the cheek while rubbing her nose into my chest.
I laughed softly while pulling back. "A bath towel?"
She blushed a bit while smacking me gently. "It's the only thing in here to put on quickly!"
I smiled and pulled her closer while closing my eyes. "I am so glad to have you back into my arms."
"And I'm glad to be back, Bakura."
Yugi's house, normal POV-
Yami sat down on the floor as Yugi moved around his room frantically.
"What are you looking for, aibou?"
He started whining. "I don't know…"
Yami lay back against the bed and closed his eyes. "I wonder if Chris is home or not." He sighed as he heard Yugi pick up the phone and dialed a number.
"Hey…"
What's going on….
Really…
Yeah…
No, just sitting here…
Yeah…
Okay…
We'll be right there…"
Click.
"What was that about, Yugi?"
Yugi turned towards his yami as he looked up at him. "Chris is back. She is at Ryou's house."
Yami sighed of relief. "Oh thank Ra." He stood up while reaching over and grabbing his jacket. "We have to go to Ryou's. I have something I have to do."
Yugi looked up at Yami and nodded his head. "Alright. Then off to Ryou's we go."
Ryou's house-
Malik, Ryou, and Marik all sat on the couch as Bakura and Chris sat on the love seat. Yami and Yugi walked up and knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
Yami and Yugi stepped through the doorway as Chris stood up and ran over to Yami and hugged him.
"We have a lot to discuss."
"I know."
He smiled faintly down at her then looked over towards the rest of the group. He led her away from the living room and into the kitchen. "You have a lot of your past you have yet to learn."
"I know." She said softly while looking up at him.
"Isis told me of a way you can travel back into time and witness everything that has happened through your past life's eyes."
"Will it hurt?"
"It could depending on what is happening."
Chris cringed as she lowered her head. "Something happened when I was in the bath tub earlier."
"What happened?"
"I don't know how to explain it. It…it's like you said I am going to go through but it was different."
"Different how?"
"I don't know…"
"Oh."
"Yeah."
He reached his hand out and ran it slowly through her hair. "You look so much like your mother."
"I don't remember Mom."
"She died when you were at a young age."
She sighed softly. "Can I see her through the Millennium Necklace?"
He shook his head. "She was very beautiful, that much I remember."
Chris smiled faintly.
Shadi soon appeared beside them. "The others are waiting…"
Yami looked at Chris as she gave Shadi a helpless look. He figured he had brought the Scales upon her. He chuckled softly and shook his head.
Yami, Chris, and Shadi left the room to join Marik and Bakura in another.
"Ready?" asked Bakura.
Chris nodded her head as Shadi used the key for them to travel to Egypt. They appeared in an underground room inside a pyramid.
"I've been here before." Said Chris as her eyes fell upon the hieroglyphics littered walls.
"Are you ready for your travel back into the past?"
Chris nodded her head as a few more figures stepped out of the shadows.
Yami looked at them and smiled slightly. "Isis, Seth, and Mahaado."
Isis glanced at Yami and smiled gently. "We are ready, my Pharaoh, for the task ahead of us."
The other spirits created a circle around Chris to form the Seal of Magic. "Then let us begin…"
