Chapter 5: There's always a catch
As Sakura was walking to the hotel elevator she couldn't help but wonder why Ms. Brader called for the sudden meeting and why she asked Croquet if they were pimps. Sakura couldn't hold back the snicker any longer and just started laughing as she stepped into the elevator and descended down.
----------
As she stepped into the lobby she saw her five... no wait there was someone missing and (unsurprisingly) it was Chi but Sakura didn't worry for that long because she saw Chi and Bakura sitting together at the side of the room. As Sakura sat down in-between Anna and Kate Mr. Chin started the meeting by insulting Jordan. (A guy in my French class.)
By saying "I'm sure most of you are he because you parents have aloud you or in Jordan's case only one because his mother is a circus person 'The bearded lady' that's right eh Jordan?" everyone started to laugh at his reply "Yup."
That's when Ms. Brader stood up and started to talk; "Well it seems that Mr. Chin has made you laugh because in this news there is no joke. Some ground rules will have to be made." Ms. Brader stated calmly "First rule if you are leaving the premises you must have your cell phone. Second no defacing anything of value here..." Just than a hand got raised and Ms. Brader called on the person.
"So you mean that we can deface anything except stuff in here?" He asked in a joking tone that Ms. Brader got really pissed about "NO. YOU ARE NOT TO DEFACE ANYTHING." Ms. Brader screamed at the poor boy. "Any way third of all if you choose to leave than you must be back in you room by 11:00pm no later is that understood?" As she looked around she only saw nodding heads "And tomorrow we will all go to the pyramids..."
"There's always a catch huh guys." Sakura told her friends while they all nodded in agreement.
"...So get a good night's sleep tonight you are all dismissed except for you Ms. Tao. I need to speak with you for a moment."
After everyone left Sakura walked up to Ms. Brader. "So Sakura do you think that these people that are sharing your room... acceptable?" Ms. Brader asked after moments of awkward silence.
"Yes. Yes I do Ms. Brader. Now if you will excuse me I need to unpack my things. Have a good night." Sakura told her calmly.
"OK. But promise me that if you don't fell that they are treating you right than tell me and I will move you to a different room. Understood." That last part was more like a statement than a question but Sakura agreed none the less.
----------
It was about 4:00pm when Sakura had finally found her way back to her hotel room with minimal difficulty. As she stepped into the room she began to unpack.
A while later she grabbed her wallet and headed out the door but not before Pegasus asked some questions.
"So where are you going?" He asked in a mocking motherly voice kinda like the voice your mother would give you when you were about to go somewhere.
But all Sakura simply said was, "Out."
Pegasus knowing that he would in the end loose sighed and told her "Fine."
"See ya." Sakura told him with that smile that Pegasus loved.
As soon as she left Pegasus turned to Kemo and told him to follow her and make sure that she didn't get hurt.
----------
As Sakura walked to the market place she felt that someone was watching her she whipped around but fond that no one was following her but she could still not shake that feeling.
About 5 minutes later she reached her destination... an old well. As she jumped into it she felt that same rush that she had always felt whenever she jumped in the well back home. In truth Sakura didn't know if she would hit rock bottom or be transported to Ancient Egypt and in the end she got transported to Ancient Egypt. (Ooh what shall happen?)
----------
The trip was longer than she had expected. Her first stop was to change into some decent attire. As soon as she found a store that sold her type of clothes she bought the first ones that appealed the most to her. In the end she had chosen a short dress that only came up to mid-thigh (so it was good for fighting) with a golden belt with sandals and a beige bag and walked out the door with about 100 dollars less than she started with.
After a lot of walking and a lot of stares from on going people she saw a small child getting the crap beat out of him by what she remembered from Socials class was one of the Pharaoh s guards so she stepped in to help the poor little kid...
----------
Back in the present it had only been about 10 minutes since Sakura had jumped down the well and Kemo was still debating weather to call Pegasus and tell him the bad news. But in the end Pegasus was the one that called Kemo and he was indeed pissed when he had read Kemo's mind.
RING, RING the phone rang only twice and when Kemo picked it up all he could muster from his shaky voice was a simple hello.
"Kemo. I believe that you have lost the girl am I not correct." Pegasus' voice was smooth yet dangerous and the last part was more a statement than a question.
"Uh... well... um... you see jumped into this well and I through a rock own and all I herd was a splash unlike when Sakura jumped in I herd nothing of that sort sir." Kemo finished off
"Hmm well has it occurred to you to jump in there and find her?" Pegasus asked Kemo
"No sir."
"Well than go in there and get her. Understood." Pegasus told Kemo in a sharp voice.
"Yes master Pegasus understood." And at that Pegasus hung up the phone signaling Kemo to do the same.
SIGH "I'm so screwed." Kemo thought aloud as he jumped into the well to only seconds later find himself drenched. After what seemed like a whole hour Kemo finally told himself "I had better phone master Pegasus."
----------
In the hotel room the phone rang and who else but Pegasus would answer it.
"Yes Kemo." Pegasus answered
Kemo hated whenever he did that but continued the conversation, "Well you see Sir I have tried and tried to go to where Sakura is but all I have accomplished is getting really wet."
"Hmm well then just wait there I'll be right over there so don't leave." Pegasus told Kemo.
"Yes sir." And with that they bolth hung up.
----------
As Sakura rushed over to where the little boy was being beaten upon she was yelling, "HEY LEAVE THAT LITTLE KID ALONE!" and when the guard looked up to see where the yelling was coming from his face was kicked and he instantly fell to the ground unconscious. After making sure the guard was out she made her way over to the little boy who was quivering very much she asked him if he was OK and if the guard had hurt him that much and what his name was.
"I...I'm OK now...t...thanks to you that is." The boy said in-between sobs "And my name is Namu. (So original huh? lol.) What is yours or do angles have names?" Namu finished off with a puzzled look on his face.
"Angle? Me? Oh no I'm no angle Namu just a person who wanted to help someone." Sakura chuckled slightly at the thought that she would be an Angle she was reincarnated from a Demon for satin's sake "And as for my name it's Sakura and I think we should get going because I have a feeling that there may be more guards than just one." Namu nodded as they headed towards the market place.
A while later something donned on Sakura why had that guard been beating on him any way?
"So Namu why was that guard beating you up?"
Namu looked really guilty at that moment and Sakura knew that he did something wrong.
SIGH "Well the reason why he was beating me up was because I pickpocketed him and after he found out he started to beat me until he was sure I had learned my lesson or till I was dead. Which ever came first." Namu finished and at that moment they got jumped by at least 10 guards only one of which Sakura knew to be the guard that she knocked unconscious. Five of them grabbed Sakura and the other five grabbed Namu.
About 30 minutes later they found them selves at the foot of the Pharos throne. Sakura looked to her right and saw that Namu was shaking with fear. One of the guards said something to the Pharaoh. "So this is the boy who pickpocketed you? And the girl who you say kicked you in the head?" The Pharaoh asked his guard as he answered "Yes these are them." "Hmm kicked your ass." Sakura said in a whisper almost not loud enough to hear but the Pharaoh herd her and chuckled at her boldness. "So you believe to be a good fighter?" The Pharaoh asked Sakura and she plainly answered 'YA' in an annoyed tone and again the Pharaoh chuckled and told her that she shall be participating in an up coming fighting contest that was actually not up coming it was in 1 hour.
----------
About 2 hours later Sakura had kicked the crap out of each and every guard and or participant and was on her way back to the well she was stopped by the Pharaoh...
----------
It wasn't long till Pegasus had got there in his limo and was looking flabbergasted (Such a weird word I had to use :-) ) that someone can go into a well and not come back up but than again after what he saw in her mind their was no doubt that she used magic to allow herself to be transported to somewhere. After what seemed like hours a light came from the well and Pegasus told Kemo to get into the car and drive off.
As Sakura helped herself out of the well she couldn't help but remember the Pharaoh and how he had told her so much like stuff about the Millenium items and the Shadow Realm. Probably the only reason he told her all of this was because he had one too many glasses of wine Sakura didn't know but she was thankful none the less that she had told her this.
----------
It was about 10:45pm when she finally made it through the hotel room doors. She looked at the clock and realized that she was all alone in the room so she was wondering where on earth the three of them were. She didn't lose sleep over it though.
----------
In the middle of the night she heard a noise in the room and something that sounded like 'OW what the!?'
And the screen door close ever so softly. Sakura got out of bed and went outside to see what all the noise was about. As soon as she got out there she saw a figure in the dark shadowed part of the balcony, "Come out of the shadows or face the consequences." Sakura told the shadowed figure.
All it did was chuckle and answer "Sakura-girl is that how you treat people?" As the figure stepped out of the shadows it turned out to be Pegasus. Sakura looked surprised that it turned out to be Pegasus but quickly answered with a comeback, "Well no but it isn't all the time in the middle of the night you here and I quote 'OW what the!?' and than a sliding door close now is it?"
"Hmm well I suppose but still there was no need to be so blunt with me you know." Pegasus answered with a smirk causing Sakura to be at a loss for words which is a really big achievement because Sakura always has something to say but this time nothing came to mind and Pegasus knew this. "Hmm I guess that's one point for me than Sakura-girl." Pegasus told her 'This should get her going.' He thought to himself. And indeed it did, "Wait what do you mean 'one point for you' huh?" Sakura asked him sharply. But all he did was shrug and say, "For making you speechless that is." "Uh huh well if I remember correctly I wasn't the one to stubbed his toe on the frigggin' doorway now was I?" Sakura asked with a smirk on her face. There was a long silence until Sakura finally broke it by mummering "One all."
----------
About a half an hour later Sakura had her elbows propped up on the railing and unknowing to her Pegasus was probing around her mind but Sakura was so focused on the stars she didn't feel the aura. Suddenly Sakura looked up at Pegasus and saw a faint glow come from his left eye. 'Huh what was that? Meh probably just my imagination.' Sakura reasoned.
"What?" Pegasus asked after a few moments of looking into each other's eyes. Sakura blushed and immediately turned her head away. "Nothing." Sakura told him while still blushing and unfortunately for her Pegasus saw her blush and laughed.
"What?" Sakura asked him but he continued to laugh and becoming really annoyed by his laughing she turned almost as red as a tomato and said very sharply, "What?!" After not answering again Sakura started walking towards the door only to have a thin pale hand reach out and grab her arm. Sakura felt her adrenaline rush as Pegasus grasped her arm and turned her around forcefully so that she would face him. Sakura looked into his eyes yet again and she felt as though they were looking into her very soul.
When Pegasus looked into her eyes all he saw in them was confusion and fright. His free hand reached up and brushed away a stray lavender bang while gently caressing her cheek he spoke his thought's aloud; "She looks so much like Cyndia was when she was alive..." (Creepy yes but go with it.)
As he leaned down to her level his lips parted as he kissed her. 'Her lips feel weak under my touch.'
'I have to pull away I cannot let him overpower me I cannot.' Sakura thought to herself as she felt her knees getting weak. It felt as though time had frozen just waiting for this to end. Finally Pegasus pulled away for air and as he looked at her he felt her shake and tense up and as he looked into her eyes once again he saw not confusion but fright.
"I...I'm sorry Sakura I didn't mean..." Pegasus kept on talking but Sakura was in her own little world trying to process what had just happened; 'That couldn't have just happened could it? No. It couldn't have I've never let anyone that close to me before and I won't start now.' She fell to her knees those same words running through her head.
"... Sakura. Sakura are you OK?" Pegasus asked her in a worried tone.
"Huh? Oh ya I'm OK I think I'm just gonna get some sleep. Good night." Sakura answered still in a daze as to what happened only a few moments ago.
----------
It was about 6:30 in the morning when Sakura woke up.
SIGH 'That had to be a dream it couldn't have been real... or could it?' She made her way over to the bathroom to take a shower.
She dug through her bag and found one of her favorite outfits; jean shorts, a black tank top that has in gold sparkly letters that say's 'Sweet as sugar' than on the back 'Tough as nails' with black DC shoes and hoop earrings with her hair tied up. As she walked out on the balcony the memories of the night before came rushing back to her like a tidal wave.
KNOCK, KNOCK "Open up Ms. Tao we all have a schedule to keep today." The voice belonged to none other than Mr. Jack as he walked away to go and wake up the other people in the hotel.
As Sakura walked out the door she noticed that Pegasus nor Kemo or Croquet were there but she really didn't want to face Pegasus today.
----------
In the lobby everyone was already piling out the door to walk all the way to the Pyramids. (Ya they're walking.)
"Bakura." Chi asked her new boyfriend ( as promised.)
"Yes."
"Um are there any traps in the pyramids that we are going to?" Chi asked in a worried tone.
"No. But why ask me?" Bakura answered with a question of his own.
"Well because you were a tomb robber and I just thought that you might know if they had any traps or not. That's all." Chi told him.
"Oh. Well it was very dangerous to break into the pyramids but just to see the look on the 'Pharaoh's' face was well worth it." Bakura finished with a smirk seeing as he got Yami fired up again.
"Yami he's not worth it so just back off." Tristin told him while he and Joey were trying to hold him back from killing Bakura.
SIGH "Bakura I don't know why you bother to annoy him any more..." Chi told Bakura.
"Oh and what do you man by that hmm?" Bakura asked.
"Watch." Chi told him in a quiet voice. "So Yami. You were a Pharaoh hmm?" Chi asked Yami.
At that Yami stood proudly and said, "Yes. And I was the best." "Than why did you die at a young age hmm? And why couldn't you catch Bakura or keep your minions from attacking your 'subjects'? One more; if you were the 'best' Pharaoh than why did your 'subjects' fear you instead of loving you?" Chi finished her bombarsion of questions with a smirk. "Umm... well... you see... they...I mean Bakura..." Yami kept on talking like this till he heard both Bakura and Chi burst into laughter, "WHAT'S SO DAMN FUNNY?!" Yami exclaimed. Chi simply answered "You..." than turning to Bakura, "See I mean if anyone knew the right information than they could get him..." pointing at Yami, "...fired up. And even though it may... no correction is funny to see him fired up like this in the end there is no point."
"Well than how am I gonna have fun now hmm?" Bakura asked with a small pout on.
"I never said you had to stop I just implied that it's kinda pointless to annoy him because anyone can." Chi told him.
"Well yes anyone can but I annoy him the best because I was the only one to actually stand up to him." Bakura beamed. Chi rolled her eyes; "What? What?" Bakura asked quizzically.
----------
After about an hour of walking around the entire group finally got to the pyramids.
"... And that's why we are doing this." Ms. Brader finished after about 15 minutes of solid talking she suddenly spotted Joey doing the mouth thing with his hands and called on him. "Ya." (Famous words of Blake a guy in my French class) "What was I just saying?" Ms. Brader asked in a 'I know you weren't listening' kinda tone and Joey told her (truthfully) "'Blah, blah, blah and that's why were doing this.'" Tristin gave him a 'high-five' while everyone laughed at this.
"UGH. OK enough of this now let's just follow the guide through the pyramids. And don't get lost. But for some reason Joey if you get lost don't try to find us because we won't try to find you."
"Ooo BURN JOEY!" The entire group said in incision while Ms. Brader walked off smirking.
----------
Else where "OW GET OFF ME!" a voice yelled.
"NO YOU GET OFFA ME!" another voice yelled.
"Both of you SHUT-UP AND LET ME CONSENTRATE AND IF YOU DON'T I'LL SEND YOU TWO BACK TO HELL!" The final voice yelled obviously agitated by the two's bickering.
"Sorry." The two stated apologetically.
SIGH "Why did I pick such idiots?" The third mysterious voice said while looking up to the sky.
----------
