Chapter 14: Emotional scars can never heal
"So what did you think of the play Bakura?" Chi asked looking up from her book.
"It was…interesting." Bakura looked at her, "You?"
"I thought it was pretty good considering that they only had about ten minutes to rehearse." Chi told him. Bakura only nodded, "I wonder whose idea it was to have a kid named Musa?" Chi wondered aloud.
"Knowing Joey and Tristin…theirs. I can just picture Sakura shaking her head at all of their idea's." Bakura chuckled a bit at this.
"Ya your right. Heh, poor Sakura having them be the only other people to work with. That would suck. So what are you doing to your deck?" She put down her book down and walked over to where he was sitting.
"Just making some adjustments to it so I can beat the Pharaoh in a Shadow Game."
"You shouldn't use ALL of your free time to worry about how you're going to defeat Yami." Chi said to him while taking a seat on the bed next to him.
"I know but he's beaten me so many times that well…"
"You want to win one game against him right?" Chi finished for him. "But seriously you need to relax more. After all you are on vacation." Chi reminded him.
"True. But that doesn't mean I can't plot against the Pharaoh." Bakura put another card into his deck. Chi nodded leaning closer to him.
"I'm going to leave you two alone…" Mimi commented as she walked into the room and left as quickly as she came.
"Well that was clo-…" Chi started to whisper to herself but Bakura closed the gap between them with a kiss.
"What was close?" Bakura asked placing another kiss on her cheek.
"Am I interrupting something?" Ryou asked walking toward them and collapsing onto his bed.
"Well actually…yes." Chi told him politely.
"Hikari. Leave." Bakura commanded his other half.
"Fine. I'm gone." And with that Ryou left Chi and Bakura to their activities.
"Hey Mimi you were right they were kissing." Ryou smiled.
"I don't lie THAT much Ryou." Mimi playfully punched him in the arm. "Wanna watch through the peep hole?" Ryou had a 'what the hell?' look on his face so Mimi sighed and pointed to the glass thing near the top middle of the door, "This thing."
"Oh. Heh, heh well ya learn something new everyday eh?" Ryou grinned sheepishly at her.
Mimi just rolled her eyes, "Well will you help me up? I'm too short to see." Ryou nodded and lifted her up. Mimi was met with a chestnut brown eye the figure backed up to reveal Bakura. The door opened. "Oh crap."
"And what do we have here? Two little peeping Tom's?" Bakura asked with a quizzical look on his face. "Chi what should we do with them?"
Chi joined him at the door surpressing her laughter; "I don't know Bakura. You always DO have that rope under your bed…" Chi was almost bursting out in laughter.
"Hmm…That's a REALLY good idea Chi. I could hang them from their feet over the railing…" Bakura trailed off.
"Uh…no need to do that Bakura…we were uh just leaving." Mimi put up her hands in a meek defense. Ryou just nodded knowing that his Yami was capable of his threats and did not want to push him over the edge. "Let's go Ryou." She pulled him towards the elevator and when Chi and Bakura were sure that they wouldn't see them they gave each other a high five in victory. And retreated to the room.
"Wow I really didn't know that you could act Sakura-girl." Pegasus complemented her once they had reached their room.
"Uh…thanks…" Sakura grinned sheepishly.
"I have an idea!" Pegasus suddenly exclaimed.
"That's…a bad thing." Sakura shook her head.
"Well thank you very much for that wonderful comment Sakura-girl." He replied sarcastically, "Anyway why don't we go out for dinner…" Pegasus let his offer hang in the air.
Sakura had an 'are you serious?' look on her face showing that she didn't approve of this at all. "After what happened the last time? I'd rather not."
"Oh come on. Please?" Pegasus pleaded with her and gave her the puppy dog eye(s) making himself look really pitiful and cute. (If you have never tried the puppy dog eyes then shame on you.)
'That is SO cheap Pegasus.' He just smiled and nodded, "Alright." She sighed at her defeat.
"Great! Then you should go and get changed." Pegasus dropped the little act and made his smile broaden.
"Riiiiiiiiight…" Sakura grabbed her stuff and headed for the washroom to change. Once she got out of the washroom she noticed that Pegasus had changed as well. He was wearing a black tuxedo with a red shirt underneath. (Picture first duel with Yugi.)And she was in the same thing as the last time. "Hey. How did you know I wasn't going to come out of the washroom while you were changing?" Sakura asked.
"Ah. How soon we forget about the eye." He pulled back his hair letting the light glint off of it.
One of the beams of light hit Sakura's eye; "Will you cover that thing up. It's gonna blind me." Pegasus chuckled and obliged to her request putting his hair over his eye.
"It's not a 'thing' as you so eloquently put it Sakura-girl. It is the all powerful millenium eye!"
"You know if you threw in a corny evil laugh there I would SO laugh. Besides mine is stronger." Sakura motioned to her bracelet.
"Uh huh the thing that I had to activate for you? Hmm I believe that there is some logic error in that Sakura-girl." Pegasus nodded along with his statements.
"So?" Sakura asked as if it was nothing.
Pegasus just gave her an exasperated look, "Let's just go out and eat."
"Sure but it's three all Pegsy-boy." Sakura said in a sing song voice.
Croquet, who had just walked into the room, heard Sakura's play on his employer's name, " 'Pegsy-boy'? Where did that come from Ms. Tao? If you don't mind me asking."
"As some of my friends might say, 'She's on crack.' Or 'She's smoking something.' So um ya I'm going to go with one of those." Sakura shook her head, "I think that I spent way too much time with Joey and Tristin."
"Uh why don't we just go now." Pegasus said. Sakura nodded and followed him to the elevator.
The restaurant they went to was different then the last. This one had a blue overhang with the words CANDIA TAVERNA on the top of it. "Nice place." Sakura commented. It had wide windows in the front, a sign saying open, and plants hanging from the top to add to the décor. When they walked in the smell of freshly cooked food met they're noses and when Sakura looked around she found that it was beautifully furnished with all of its wooden benches, and to top it all off a small electric fireplace. 'Oh Ra I feel so over dressed.' She had looked around and found that everyone was in casual wear instead of dresses and tuxedos.
"Don't worry you look fine." Pegasus reassured her after reading her mind. They took a seat sort of in the middle of the restaurant soon a waitress came to take their order.
"What would you like to drink?" She asked politely.
"A bottle of Copper Moon red please." Pegasus chose before Sakura could protest.
"What the…? Pegasus I've told you before-…"
"Your not aloud to drink. Yes, yes I know but it isn't going to kill you is it?" Sakura chose not to answer. Pegasus just smirked, "Thought so. Ah, here it is what timing." Pegasus picked up his wine glass, "A toast to me in the lead again."
After they were half way through the meal Sakura thought of something, 'What does he mean that he's in the lead AGAIN?' "Pegasus wtf? It is not 4-3… is it?" Sakura was curious at the answer.
"You had nothing to say so I took the point." He smiled and drank a little more of his wine. Sakura just groaned at this she felt like hitting her head for being so stupid. "We are in a public place so you shouldn't do that." Pegasus smiled smugly.
"Two words: screw you." Sakura was tempted to give him the finger but decided against it. She just glared at him instead.
Karla and Rin were sitting on Ah-Un's back unsure of where they were going, "Rin do you know where were going?" Karla whispered to her.
"No Master Sesshomaru doesn't tell Rin those types of things." Jaken, who had been listening in said in place of Rin.
"Well then Jaken if you're so smart then YOU tell me where were going." Karla addressed him rudely.
"I…don't know." Jaken looked ashamed at himself for not knowing.
"Great. Even the toad doesn't know where were going."
"Hey! I am NOT JUST a toad. I'm a demon toad." Jaken defended himself the best he could.
"And the difference is…?" Karla asked him. Jaken glared at her with all of his might.
"Girl. Come here." Sesshomaru commanded breaking up the petty squabble. "Prove your worth. Kill this demon that has a jewel shard."
"What! That thing!" Karla asked alarmed for after all, that demon was HUGE. "Well…I guess I could try." Karla took in a deep breath, got out her bow and arrows aimed and fired. The demon was faster then Karla had originally thought and it had dodged her arrow with a great speed. 'Hmm must be the jewel shard. This is going to be harder then I thought.' She thought as she jumped out of the way of the demon's claw that came crashing after her. Karla couldn't take it anymore so she jumped high in the air turning invisible and shot a purified arrow into it's back but it still wasn't enough to kill it. 'Where is that shard?' Karla focused all of her energy on locating the jewel shard and in no time she located it and shot her arrow directly on target. Once the shard was out of the demon's body it turned to dust and bones.
"Yay! Karla you did it!" Rin cried happily running up to her and handing her the shard. "Here I found this by your arrow. Jaken is trying to pick it up but he keeps getting shocked. It's really funny to watch, wanna come see?" Rin, not waiting for an answer, pulled her towards Jaken who was continually getting shocked by Karla's purified arrow. "Master Jaken, Karla is here to help you pick up her arrow." Jaken just gave a 'humph' and let Karla pick it up.
"Thanks Jaken."
"I believe that we have someone to visit." Sesshomaru told them walking off.
"Oy. Now what do I have to kill?" Jaken gave her a quizzical look, "Every time he says that we have to go somewhere I have to kill something that's could rival the CN tower." Karla explained to him.
"Uh huh…uh human…what's the CN tower?" Jaken asked.
"Oh! Right you guy's don't have those types of buildings yet. Hmm now what's a better example…?" Karla pondered this for a while till Rin gave a helpful idea.
"The tree of ages?"
"YA! That's a really good one Rin." Karla smiled brightly one of her true smiles. 'I was beginning to think coming here was a mistake but now…I can smile and actually mean it…'
It was getting dark and they needed to set up camp…well actually Jaken needed to set up camp. Karla and Rin were looking for firewood (Much to Jaken's disappointment they did not burn Karla's weapons.) and Sesshomaru was walking about the forest. "Master Jaken were back." Rin's cheery voice said from the bushes.
"Oh joy." Jaken said aloud sarcastically.
"Just make a fire Jaken and will you STOP being so sarcastic?" Karla asked knowing the answer already.
"Woman. There is a spring over there. Wash up you reek of demon blood." Sesshomaru told her with his emotionless eyes burning through her. Karla nodded and left for where Sesshomaru came from.
'Mmm I really do love this era…' Karla thought to herself as she submerged farther under the hot water. There was a rustle in the bushes and Jaken came stumbling out of them. "Jaken! You pervert! Get away! Shoo!" Karla was reaching for her bow and arrows.
"Don't shoot! Don't shoot! Master Sesshomaru sent me here to give you these." Jaken dropped what he had been carrying and ran away from her.
'Pervert toad.' Karla thought getting out of the hot spring. Karla had found out that it was clothes that Jaken dropped and quickly put them on. It was a Kimono. The kimono was plain, but graceful and it was black all over with an exception of some embroidery in silver at the collar and with a belt in dark green. 'Well I guess I could let him slide THIS time.' Karla took out her brush and once the tangles were all out she went back to camp to see that they were all eating.
Jaken handed her a plate with many different types of food on it. "Thanks Jaken." Jaken looked surprised but then nodded.
'Well at least she is polite…' Jaken's thoughts got cut off by Karla speaking.
"But you're still a pervert toad." Jaken grumbled and ate his food far away from Karla.
SIGH "One hour twenty seven minutes and ten seconds in counting." Kate said while grabbing another slice of pizza.
"Do you think that we should stop them?" Kari asked.
"You can. I'm going to watch TV." Kate grabbed the remote and turned on the TV ignoring Joey and Tristin's fight.
"What! Kate I can't split them up ALONE you know!"
"Shush! I'm watching the news."
Kari did a double take, "Whatever. LOOK you two I have had it! Now one of you over there and the other over there." Tristin just looked at Joey and he looked at Kari who was tapping her foot impatiently. "I DO mean now you know."
"Yes Ma'am." They said in unison.
Kari collapsed on her bed, "Why didn't you help me Kate?" She asked.
"I didn't help 'cause I'm watching the news report. It says that there have been some random tornado's in the desert lately and I bet my staff that it's some strong wind magic." Kate informed her.
"You don't think it's…" Kari trailed off.
"The woman who works for Naraku…yes."
"Naraku! Where? Lemme at 'em." Joey blurted out.
"There, there little puppy he's not around." Kate and Kari burst into laughter at the site of Joey's face.
"I am NOT a dog!" Joey growled.
"Then why did you growl?" Tristin asked innocently from the other side of the room.
"That's it! Your dead!" Joey tackled Tristin to the ground…again.
"Pizza?" Kari offered.
"Thanks."
"You beat me again!" Yugi exclaimed.
"Well abiou I've had a lot more practice then you. So you shouldn't feel too bad."
"Hey Yami I just thought of something…if Bakura's Ka was Diabound then what was yours?" Anna asked.
"Oh! Well mine was well…" Yami looked ashamed.
"What?" Tea asked intrigued.
"It was…Kuriboh (A/N 1)." He said in a low voice.
"What? I couldn't hear you." Yugi asked even though he could hear what he said perfectly and was trying to stifle his laughter.
"It was a damn Kuriboh!" Yami exploded. Tea and Anna looked at him then burst in to laughter soon joined by Yugi.
"S-sorry Yami b-but th-that's…" Anna started laughing again. Yami gave Anna the finger and left.
'It's not THAT funny is it? I mean my Kuriboh was a pretty good Ka to have. It kept me company and it annoyed the priest Akunadin to no extent. And now…I don't even know where it is now.' Yami remembered the day that he got his Ka…
FLASHBACK (A/N 2)
"Priest Shada! Priest Shada!" A young Pharaoh ran up to the priest.
"What is it Atem?" Priest Shada asked turning to him.
"I keep hearing this sound in my head that no one seems to hear…so I'm either crazy or I have a Ka inside me. So could you see if I do Priest Shada?"
"Alright. Close your eyes." Shada put the Millenium Key on the child's forehead and turned it. In seconds the priest was in the boy's mind. He searched Atem's mind top to bottom avoiding most of the mental traps that lay dormant inside some of the doors in his mind. Shada was almost about to leave Atem's mind and tell him he found no traces of a Ka anywhere, Shada heard it. It was quiet at first but it was slowly getting louder and louder by the second till the priest was tackled down to the ground by a fluff ball. 'Ah, so there is a Ka here. Atem isn't crazy after all. That would have been a difficult conversation.' Shada said to himself as he left the boy's mind. Shada was greeted by an over enthusiastic Atem.
"So…do I have a Ka?"
"…Yes."
"What is it?"
"…Kuriboh…"
"Oh…! Could you teach me how to control it please?" Atem asked politely.
"Alright. But tomorrow, Priest Seth (A/N 3) and I must go and find a powerful Ka beast to guard us against the Tomb robbers demon of a Ka, Diabound." Atem just nodded and ran off to tell Mana the good news.
He soon found Mana coming out of Mahado's study. "Mana!" Atem ran up to her nearly knocking her over in the process. "How was your magic class?"
"Eh…can't complain. But Priest Mahado SHOULD be a little more patient with me learning the more advanced spells…"
"I heard that Mana!" Mahado's voice came from the inside of the study.
"…Anyway…what else did you want to tell me Atem?"
"I have a Ka!"
"Congratulations Atem." Mahado told him from inside of the study.
It took Mana longer to comprehend what Atem had just said. "Oh! Congratulation's Atem. Oh and my Ka also say's congratulations." The dark magician girl came out and gave Atem a thumb's up. Mana curled her fingers into a fist and shushed Atem with the other hand. She slowly brought it up and hit the center of the door with a lot of force.
"OW! MANA!" Mahado came out of his study holding his ear in pain.
Mana looked up at him innocently, "What did I do?" She grinned at him; "I was just hitting the door. How was I supposed to know that your ear was there? Unless you were eavesdropping on me and Atem's conversation…were you Priest Mahado?"
"Uh…(Sweatdrop) Of course not Mana! I'll uh…be going now." Mahado went back into his study still holding his ear.
"Score one for Mana." She whispered. "Let's go and talk else where Atem."
"Kay…Kitchens?"
"You know it."
"So you Ka is Kuriboh… right?"
"Well that's what Priest Shada said that's what it's called. I'm going to make it as strong as possible so that I can help you beat the tomb robber!" Atem exclaimed.
Mana choked on her water. "Say what! Atem the only reason I can help is because Priest Mahado has prepared me. And no offence Atem but I don't think your ready…" Seeing Atem's face fall she quickly added, "Besides you're the future of Egypt. You are the one who is next in line for the throne. If you got killed who would we put in that position? Priest Akunadin…? He would probably turn Egypt into a battlefield given the chance." Atem nodded while grabbing a glass of water.
"But Mana…"
"But nothing Atem. If your father ever found out about this 'plan' he would probably make sure that you could NEVER leave the palace without a proper guard." Mana reasoned.
"Hmm…ya your right Mana…well see ya later." Mana smiled and good-byewaved to Atem.
He turned the corner to his room only to find Priest Shada and Priest Seth walking a pale skinned girl with long blue-ish hair being lead towards Pharaoh Akunumkanon's throne room. 'That must be the holder of the powerful Ka Priest Shada told me about earlier.'
"Ugh!" Atem turned around to see Priest Akunadin standing right behind him holding his hand over the millenium eye.
"P-p-Priest Akunadin w-what a-are you d-doing here?" Atem asked because it was said around the palace he was supposed to be gone all through the week.
"I came back early after hearing Priest Seth's plan. So I wanted to see WHO was the holder of this all powerful Ka." Atem just nodded and went to his room.
In Atem's room his Ka came out and to his surprise it spoke to him, "Atem…"
"AHH!"
"Shush!" The Kuriboh sighed, "Look Atem that old guy was looking into your mind. But I stopped him."
"Uh…OH! Thanks then. Did you peer into HIS mind?"
"Nope. Couldn't."
"Oh. Well I think he was lying about going out to the desert for a week to try and stop Bakura." Atem told his Ka.
"Hmm…ya think?" Kuriboh said sarcastically.
(-.-) "Well even if he IS lying we have no proof."
"Leave THAT part to me…" And with that Atem's Ka left him.
END FLASHBACK
'I wonder if I can get my Ka back like the tomb robber." Then it hit Yami like a ton of bricks, "The Valley of the Kings!" A few on goers stopped and starred at him like he was crazy. But he just shrugged their gazes off and sprinted towards the desert. 'I'm going to need a cab.'
"Wow the stars are pretty tonight aren't they?" Chi asked.
"Bakura put his arms around her waist and put his head on her shoulder, "Yes they are. But you are more beautiful." Bakura kissed her cheek.
"Bakura and Chi sittin' in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G…" Bakura let go of Chi's waist and turned around to see Mimi and Ryou singing that annoying tune.
"You know I have half a mind to kill you two right now." Bakura told them with his best death glare.
"Then where's the other half?" Mimi asked innocently twirling her hair.
"What do you mean by that?" Bakura asked feeling Chi's arms snake around his waist.
"You said you had half a mind to kill us, but I'm wondering where the other half of your mind is." Mimi told him while snickering.
"The other half is thinking of a suitable weapon to kill you two with." Bakura said with no emotion in his voice. But only smirking when Mimi and Ryou's face's went pale. 'I still got it.'
'Yes you do. You scared them so bad that they are hiding in the bathroom as we speak.'
Bakura chuckled a bit, 'If I can't scare them with shadow magic then I'll scare them with threats.'
"I think that you are better with the first one though." Chi said.
"And I think that you are right." Bakura turned around in Chi's arms and wrapped his own around her waist.
"Can we come out now?" They heard Mimi ask from the safety of the washroom.
Bakura looked down at Chi and shook his head, 'No let's savor the quiet.'
'Well were going to have to let them come out eventually.' Chi reminded him.
'Yes I know…but why can't we keep them in there a little longer?'
'Because it's inhumane.' Ryou's voice sounded inside of Bakura's mind.
'Out. Now abiou or we'll keep you two in there all night.' Bakura felt Ryou leave his mind and Chi sigh into his chest.
"Let's let them out Bakura." Chi walked over to the door and let them out.
"Thank you Chi." Ryou said with Mimi nodding beside him.
"And the moral of this is…?" Chi asked them.
"To NEVER piss off Bakura." Mimi said almost instantly.
"Eh." Mimi shrugged, "Close enough. Now no more songs. All right?" Chi asked them.
"OK." Ryou said.
"Mimi. What about you."
"Well…" Mimi saw Bakura's glare at her and squeaked, "OK, OK just please don't let him kill me." Mimi put up her hands in a defense.
"Deal." Chi laughed.
"You know what. Wine isn't all that bad." Sakura admitted. They had just finished their meal and they were heading back to the hotel.
"See I told you. You should listen to me more often…shorty." Pegasus chuckled a bit.
"Ya…HEY! I am not THAT much shorter then you Pegasus!" Sakura said outraged.
"How tall are you?"
"5'5. You."
"6'2 (A'N 4)." Pegasus grinned broadly.
"…OK so maybe I am…but that does NOT and I repeat NOT count as a point. I'm just naturally short." Sakura told him in a stern voice. As they were walking Yami ran past them in a flash knocking Sakura down only to have Pegasus catch her. "Thank you. Now what the hell was that?"
"I have no idea. Want to go and see what or who it was that knocked you down?" By the time Pegasus had finished Sakura had already sprinted more then a block. "How…what…when…HUH? HOW can anyone run that fast?" Pegasus exclaimed while running after her.
Their chase eventually led them to the Valley of the Kings. "Um…do you know where who ever knocked you down went?" Pegasus asked finally catching up to her.
"I think he went that way." She told him while pointing to the tomb of the nameless Pharaoh.
"You THINK or you KNOW?"
"Uh…both. I know I saw a shadow go that way and I think it was that guy that knocked me over." Sakura told him.
"Oh…well then I guess we should go find him then eh?" Sakura nodded, "And don't your feet hurt after running in high heels?" Pegasus asked.
"Yes but that's not the point is it?"
"Well no…"
"HEY DEMON-GIRL!" A voice called from above them.
"Oh you have GOT to be kidding me." She smacked her head.
Inuyasha landed right in front of them, "So where ya headed?"
"Away from you dog-boy." Sakura pushed past him. She obviously wasn't in the mood for dealing with him tonight.
"Who ya looking for? 'Cause I'm looking for someone as well." Inuyasha told her.
"Do you stalk me of something? (Inuyasha shook his head.) Then how do you know that I was looking for someone?" Sakura asked him.
"Because A) Normally you take any chance you can get to annoy me (Sakura nodded at this.) but this time you didn't. B) I didn't you just told me."
(-.-) SIGH "Alright who are you looking for?"
"Don't know but the idiot knocked down Kagome and ran this way."
"Well then let's go and find this person." Pegasus piped up after being quiet the entire time.
"Right. Come on dog-boy… unless you can't keep up." Sakura challenged while sprinting towards the pyramids.
Weaving in and out of the maze like hallways Sakura's millenium bracelet was taking them was beginning to be a difficult task for Pegasus to keep up.
Sakura stopped and waited for Pegasus to catch up. For Inuyasha had split up from them saying that he smelt where the 'idiot' (as Inuyasha had so eloquently put it) was. "Do you want me to slow down?"
"No, no it's OK I'll keep up just keep going I'll just go a little slower." Pegasus took in deep breath's showing that he hadn't had this much exercise in a while.
"I think that were almost there so we can walk." Sakura looked at Pegasus' face and quickly added, "It's no trouble. I have really good endurance 'cause I'm on the school's track team." Pegasus just nodded.
"AHHHH!" Sakura and Pegasus heard Inuyasha scream and run towards them, then past them. "Run!"
"From what?" Sakura looked from where he came from to see Yami stumble out of the darkness holding his sides. "Uh…Yami what are you doing here?"
"I ran here after I thought that if the tomb robber can get his Ka back then why can't I? So I came to my tomb, (That's not a sentence I would use...ever.) found my Ka and scared the crap out of Inuyasha with him."
"Guy's are so competitive and compulsive." Sakura said shaking her head.
"…What is you Ka Yami-boy?" Pegasus asked intrigued. Yami summoned his Ka and both Sakura and Pegasus exclaimed at the same time, "KURIBOH!"
"Inuyasha is such a wimp." Sakura thought of something but Pegasus said it first.
"If you were Pharaoh then wouldn't you have a stronger Ka like…Ra for instance?" Sakura punched him.
"Line stealer." Pegasus just grinned.
"Anyway…(Yami gave a shifty eyed look.) even though I have my Kuriboh I also had the support of all three Ka gods on my side which I could summon at any time. But my Ka IS very powerful." Unsure looks came from both Pegasus and Sakura.) "Priest Shada and I worked for five years on building mine and my Ka's strength up to it's maximum potential." Yami told them smartly.
Pegasus was thinking for a moment, "You said that you ran over here right?" Yami nodded. "Did you bump into anyone on your way over here?"
"Uh I might have…why?"
Pegasus backed up from the two, "No reason."
WHAM! Sakura sucker punched Yami in the jaw. "Now were even you push me down in the street and I punch you." Sakura smiled and walked toward the exit only to find Inuyasha sword drawn and attacking someone she knew all too well… "LILY!"
"Ah. So there's my favorite demon spawn." Lily flew forward with her scythe in an attacking position moon shining above her. "DIE!" Sakura narrowly dodged her attack. She drew her sword from her necklace.
Pegasus had finally come out of the pyramid holding and unconscious Yami and watching Sakura dodge all of the attacks that, that winged woman was throwing at her. "So…that's Lily. She seems strong…WAIT! Shadi told Sakura something about the full moon. That winged woman must be more powerful then ever now." Pegasus whispered to himself.
'She's stronger this time. I guess I should use the Shikon Jewel shard's power to strengthen up my powers.'
"Hmm. You think that you can defeat me with just ONE little shard? Well you cannot. After all you are trapped in my shadow cage."
Sakura's head perked up at this, "What? Uh…AH!" Sakura screamed. She was being surrounded by shadows. "Wh-what's happening?"
Lily chuckled, "My little shadow cage brings out ones inner most fears. Now what is your inner most fear…"
Lily saw Sakura in a room all alone, "Where is everyone…? Th-they couldn't just leave me like this…could they…? My parents…dead. My friends…treating me like I was dead. WHY? WHY DID YOU DO THIS? WHY? SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER ME!" Sakura screamed out falling to the floor crying. "P-please d-don't l-leave me alone. Not again. No I will not go back I-I will not." Sakura's voice was now in a whisper. "Elaine, would she leave me…?" Sakura saw her foster mother's image above her.
"Get up! You worthless girl!" Elaine's tone was harsh. "Stop your pathetic crying! Leave! You mean nothing to me…"
"N-no y-you d-don't mean th-that…d-do you…mom?" Sakura looked up at her foster mother with tear filled eyes.
"'Mom'? HA! We are…no we were NEVER family. You were just someone that I felt sorry for. You are NOTHING to me!" Elaine's image disappeared leaving Sakura alone.
The next image was Sakura in her foster home. All of the other kids were playing together while Sakura was sitting under a tree alone. "Why won't they let me play…? What did I do to them…?" The soccer ball rolled over to her.
"Hey! Freak pass give us back the ball." One of the kids yelled to her.
"…Freak…?" Sakura said the word softly but it still stung her on the inside.
The kid who had called her a freak walked over to her and took the ball back, "Stupid girl. Hey guys I guess she is deaf of something 'cause she obviously can't hear that well." The other kids laughed at the apparent joke he made. "Yes don't you understand English (A/N 5) you are a freak and you all way's will be. And if you can't stand that fact then don't come near us any more. Weirdo." The boy kicked the ball back into play and left the small Sakura to cry at the harsh words they had called her.
"One more vision and she will be begging for me to kill her." Lily laughed at Sakura's weakness.
"STOP!" A voice boomed from over by the pyramid entrance.
"Hmm? Who are you to tell me what I can and cannot do? Weak mortal. Well you are in the way. You must die." Lily raised her hand and a couple of demons surrounded Pegasus.
Pegasus sent them all to the shadow realm, "Is that all you can do…? Lily."
"Hmm…so you know my name how interesting that a meer human of the mortal realm can know that. I am impressed…but that is not a good thing. So you shall also meet the same fate as your friend here. SHADOW CAGE!" Pegasus summoned the shadow realm taking only Lily and himself.
"Now who is the weakest person now Lily?"
"Hmm it seems that I have underestimated you…just as Dice had. Interesting. You could be a very valuable ally or a very annoying foe…but I shall not have either."
"Toon world." Pegasus said holding a card up. A colourful book appeared in between them.
"What! What is that, that THING?" Lily looked at it mouth agape.
"You'll see. Red archery girl, into the book." The newly summoned monster did as it was told and soon came out looking like something you would find in a comic book.
(-.-") "You are going to beat me with that?"
"No. I'm going to beat you with THAT." Pegasus pointed to behind Lily so that she could see a Toon dragon in an egg already firing a blast of fire at her.
"Ah! What when did that thing get there?" She was blasted back then was shot twice, one in each wing, by the Toon red archery girl. Thus grounding her.
'Damn. My powers are leaving me. It must be sunrise.' "Hmm. You have a most interesting way of attacking. We will meet again I am sure of it but until then you may live." Lily blasted through the shadow realm and took off in a portal. 'He is a very interesting foe. And an even more interesting way of fighting. Now I have one more soul to capture.'
"Sakura. Wake up…Sakura…Joey is here and he's looking up your dress." 'If this doesn't work then nothing will.'
"WHAT!" Sakura bolted up. "P-Pegasus…?"
"Heh thought that, that would wake you up."
"You are such a moron." Sakura hugged him. Pegasus was a little hesitant but soon hugged her back. He felt her shake in his arms and tipped her chin up so that he could see her face. She was crying.
'Crap I'm not good with this type of stuff.' "Are you OK?" 'Of course she isn't what kind of question was that…?' Sakura nodded. "Hmm…Alright then. Let's get going…"
"HEY! WAIT!" Inuyasha came up to them. "What did Lily show you Sakura?"
"…" Sakura looked away from him. "Nothing. She showed me nothing."
"Heh. And people say that I'm stubborn." Inuyasha shook his head, "Well I had better get going. Kagome might kill me if I get back too late." With that Inuyasha left them alone.
"Let's get Yami and go." Pegasus suggested.
"OK."
Duke was pacing up and down the room and was slowly driving Rei crazy. "Will you STOP pacing? It's so annoying."
"Well I can't help it." He continued pacing.
"Well as a human being I need sleep so if you don't stop pacing and go to sleep I'll club ya." Rei told him while climbing in to her bed.
Duke stopped pacing, "With what? A pillow?"
"No. My 'War and Peace' hardcover book." Rei told him while pulling out her book. Duke looked wide-eyed at her and dove under the covers of his bed. "Heh thought so." Rei soon drifted off to sleep at 1:37 am Duke at 2 and Kaiba at 2:12.
KAIBA'S DREAM
He saw himself in blue Egyptian clothing holding what looked like Marik's Millenium Rod. Him and a man that Kaiba couldn't recognize walked into a pub. All eyes were on the two as murmurs of why they had come started all around them but one in particular caught this Kaiba's ears, "I heard from my brother who works as a palace guard that they are looking for a powerful Ka…"
Outside there was a loud noise, taking this as a sign the two men left only to see a girl with pale skin getting beat up by men much older then them. "Get out! You don't belong here!" The speaker kicked the girl down.
"What is going on here?" Kaiba's voice boomed.
"Priest Seth! This girl is bringing bad luck to us. Her presence is killing our crops and…" Seth slashed the man's face with the side of his Millenium Rod.
"Silence. You cannot blame this girl for your poor farming." Seth turned to what Kaiba thought was another Priest. "Priest Shada check this girl for what we have been looking for." Seth whispered to him, "And the rest of you leave here if you value your lives." Everyone fled the scene leaving only Priest Shada, Priest Seth and the girl.
Shada bent down to her level, "Stay still." She bearly had time to react before he was inside her mind. A large white dragon appeared before him. Shada gasped at the large aura that surrounded the dragon. He left immediately after witnessing the dragon. "You must come with us." Priest Shada helped the girl up. It was only at the safety of the castle did Seth ask what her Ka was. "Her Ka is most powerful. It is the White Dragon." Seth nodded.
"I shall take this girl to see the Pharaoh."
"Kisara." She whispered.
"What?"
"My name. It's Kisara." Kisara told him allowing for the first time to see her stunning blue eyes.
END KAIBA'S DREAM
Kaiba awoke with a start. "Great." He mumbled, "Now I'm starting to act like them." He shook his head in disapproval. "I guess I should eat something. After all with organizing Kaiba Corp. I haven't had that much time to eat." He got dressed in his usual out fit, (Battle City Clothes.) grabbed his laptop and left for the hotel restaurant.
"For one?" The hostess asked.
"Ye-"
"No for two." She seated them in about the middle of the restaurant.
"What are you doing here Rei?" He asked a little peeved at her.
"Well I came down here for breakfast-"she got cut off by Kaiba.
"At 5:30?"
"I should be asking you the same thing Kaiba. Anyway I saw you and decided to join you." Rei smiled at him while tightening her loose hair elastic.
"Well what made you so sure I wanted company?" Kaiba asked her looking over his menu.
"Well I just thought it would be a nice change from your usual loner lifestyle. That's all." Rei smiled at her small comeback. Kaiba just rolled his eyes and started up his laptop.
"Tisk, tisk, tisk. Lily you disappoint me yet again. But Kagura, she has done very well she did what I asked but you did not. Why? Because you have more power under the full moon then normal?" Naraku inquired to her.
"I saw the demon-girl and thought that it would be a good idea to attack her when she came out of the pyramid. I had no idea that Inuyasha would be there." Lily defended herself.
"There are those words again, 'I thought' and 'a good idea'. Whenever those words come out of your mouth, Lily, it means that you have failed me yet again. Now unless you can think of another idea in that small brained head of yours, you are dismissed." Naraku waved her away with a simple hand movement.
Once Lily had gone Kagura took this time to speak, "Naraku, if she ever succeeds in killing the demon-girl and her friends she will be too powerful for even you to handle."
"Having doubts about my power Kagura?" Kagura shook her head, "Good. Just do as I say and she'll never get that strong even if she plots all day and night." Naraku chuckled a bit at Lily's stupidity. "Besides with Kanna watching Lily almost none stop I'll always be one step ahead."
(A/N 1): I know it may not be his actual Ka but for the sake of the story it shall be Kuriboh.
(A/N 2): I'm not sure of the actual time line because I haven't seen any of the memory arc episodes because they haven't come to Canada (And I'm too much of a hobo to buy the series)yet. So it may not be an accurate timeline.
(A/N 3): In it say's Priest Seto but in others it says Priest Seth so I'm just going to go for Priest Seth.
(A/N 4): I was bored and I actually looked this up Pegasus is actually 6'2. (Yes I know it's stupid but I don't really care.)
(A/N 5): Remember Sakura lived in California before she was moved to Domino Japan.
Alright this was a VERY long chapter it's ten pages ( :-) ) and 6,836 words. This chapter was a lot longer then I had originally planed. (It was supposed to be about 4,000 words.) And well I wrote it during spring break and half of it didn't make sense when I read it over. So I basically re-did the whole thing. Sorry for the late update and I hope that you liked the newest chapter. Oh and if you read this and don't review please start to review.
