This means in mind
Chapter 7
It was the last week for searching a maiden to marry and Yami and his friends still had not found a maiden. Yami wasn't pleased with this, he sighed since he didn't find a maiden to fall in love with. But one thing was on his mind and it was the dream he had the week before at Luxor.
The return trip to Cairo was a long trip home and night came fast, so the group decides to make camp, along the Nile. Yami sat near the river staring at the reflection of the full moon on the river. Yami was spaced out for a moment or two until Tarra intrude. "Yami... Are you awake?" asked Tarra. Yami turned around to Tarra giving her a look saying please let me be. "Well, aren't we acting a bit stubborn" Tarra said a bit sarcastic. "Please Tarra, I don't want to be brother" Yami said.
"Alright, Yami" she said, and with that, she left and went to join the others. Yami closed his eyes but quickly opened them when Jouno called out "Yami behind you!" Yami turned his head and saw a green energy ball coming at him. His puzzle glowed and he turns his focus on the green energy ball. In less than a second later the green energy ball stopped right in it path, shirk in size and exploded. Everyone was silent quiet until Yami spoke out "What?" Kiko finally spoke out.
"Yami I'm really sorry about that!" Kiko screeched. Yami got up from his place and went up to his friends. "What is it that you're sorry about, Kiko?" Yami asked. Ukino went up to Yami and explained that Kiko is being trained to senses dark energy balls with her other senses instead of her eyes. Yami looked at Kiko who had a cloth on her eyes. "Can you forgive me Yami?" Kiko asked who was now on the ground, doing a begging stance. "I forgive you, Kiko. A word of advice, try listening for incoming energy balls" Yami said.
Later on, Yami decides to join the others around the fire. Ukino was doing one of her dances, what she called, "Summoning of the Fox." Once she was down, she bowed to applause. "You were wonderful dancer, Ukino" Earthzina chirped. "You're better than any other dancer back at home" Jouno said. Tarra looked up and saw Yami approaching. "Well, looks who finally decides to join us" Tarra teased.
Yami sat down next to Jouno ignoring Tarra's little remark. "Ukino... Kiko may I asked you girls a question?" Yami asked. Ukino and Kiko nodded their heads "yes" Yami took a deep breathe and asked "Can you tell me about the runaway friend?" Ukino and Kiko just look at each other and nodded both of their heads. Ukino faced Yami and begin to tell what happen. "Our friend was the only person we ever had. She is about your height, she has eyes the color of a pink rose and long pink and black hair" Ukino said.
"Well, when we were young, our friend always watched the dancers dance and she always wanted to dance. But her father forbid it" Kiko said. "She also had two phoenixes" said Ukino. "Why did she have two?" Jouno asked. Kiko looked at Nayru and her head. "The reason is she had twin phoenix of Fire... Who is the leader element" Nayru explained. "She always had them to watch over her when she dances so her father won't find out" Ukino said. "What happened?" Yami asked.
Ukino and Kiko took a deep breathe but Kiko shed a tear. "You see... Her father found out about this and...and" Kiko was in tears before she finished. Ukino put her hand on Kiko's back and start rubbing her. "I'll say it, Kiko" Ukino whispered to Kiko. Kiko wipe away her tears and nodded her head. "You see her father ... Had beaten her… And the worse part, we couldn't do anything to stop it" Ukino explained as she tries not to shed a tear. Jouno, Tarra and Earthzina were in shocked when they heard this, but Yami was growling with angry.
"This kept going until our friend got the courage to run away with her phoenixes" Ukino said. "The last thing she said to us was 'Will see each other again... I promise" Kiko said finally. Both Kiko and Ukino were quiet for a moment or two. "Ukino and Kiko were left depressed for a while" Bri said. "But I know one thing is that the princess is going fitful her promise and will see each other! I have hope!" Kiko exclaimed. Jouno smiled at Kiko and said "You don't give up easily don't you?" "I never give up hope and so dose Ukino!" she said, causing Ukino to give a small smile.
Later that Night
Everyone was fast asleep, but not Yami, who was awake thinking. Yami looked at stars and stared drifting into sleep. Yami had a dream about the girl Ukino and Kiko were talking about, expect this time, she had her phoenixes watching her dance.
