Disclaimer- I own all::sees FBI agents coming: Ummm….I don't own all::FBI agents leave: O.O Didn't think the FBI was so hard core with anime….
Me- :does a happy dance: This is actually getting out in a decent amount of time!
Myself- :gasp: Miracles do happen!
Me- Oh yes there is a new muse to this dysfunctional family. Mine
Mine- :in a dark corner playing with word blocks:
Me- He, he…she's where the angst in my stories comes from.
I- Also the one who pays attention in Linguistics!
Mine- :spells out with word blocks leave me alone:
Myself- She's a happy one.
Me- There is one in ever family.
Myself- And I am apologizing for this now. This chapter is a cards chapter, sorry no actual characters. But it does help the plot line along!
Me- I'll get the chap you people probably want to read out as soon as I can. Got a few other things going on in my life again.
I- Like falling down stairs and spraining your ankle!
Me- That is one of a few things going on.
Myself- And to wrap up these notes that probably no one reads, onto the fic!
Me- :gasp: My line!
Souls and Hearts
Chap 15- Plan of Action
"He heard us!" Fir yelled bouncing around his room.
"yes he did Fir, now calm down before the other cards come in." Belik sighed as he sat down on the bed rubbing his temples.
"I don't care! Mageic is just as excited as I am."
"Figures that Time Wizard would be thrilled. He made it into most of the duels."
"Are you jealous my dear swordsman?" Fir leered as he bounced over to Belik's side.
"I'm not jealous of that. But you know how Anka gets when shadow magic is being used."
"The old magician needs to loosen up a bit."
"Even I admit he's a little to high strung about this situation with Life and Death but it's best to also have some caution as well."
"I have yet to have a problem with Life and Death." Fir flopped back onto the mattress, arms going over his eyes.
"Then again we are in the same deck as they are."
"Coba's good friends with them and he is in Seto's deck. Pursha and Kilia hang out with them as well."
"Kilia isn't a true Egyptian card Fir. She doesn't know the stories like we do." Belik pointed out leaning back on his arms.
"And? Those events are over and done with. The newer cards out number up old geezers anyways."
"There is just too much mystery surrounding those twins. Anka finds it a little suspicious, he also doesn't like the powers they wield."
"I just think he's jealous." Fir groaned in a rather annoyed fashion.
"There maybe a hint of jealousy, but he does bring up a good point with their story. How do we know they are really connected to the shadow realm, and not that business suit guy?"
"They knew who Anka was, and seemed pretty pissed off at the guy before he even went into action."
"Good acting.'
"How would they have known he was the pharaoh's Dark Magician? Many high court people carried that spirit around."
"Lucky guess."
"All of you people are overly paranoid about them! I find it very logical that they would be mysterious after all that's happened to them! First their master dies at a young age, they get put to sleep for reasons unknown to them. Cause I don't ever remember them being in the war."
"Neither do I." Belik agreed.
"Then they are woken up millennia later to see everything change. I think they are taking matters pretty well. It took me months before I was near stable levels. So far it's only been a few weeks for them, and to top it all off they've gained a new master and watched their previous one die again! Personally I would be a homicidal maniac by now." Fir growled narrowing his eyes.
"I'll bring those points up with Anka the next time we speak. It you'll excuse me though, my presence it required somewhere else." Belik removed himself from the bed and giving a nod he was out the door.
"I'm sure you will Belik, probably to incriminate them even more. Stupid flaming swordsman." Fir mumbled into his arms having his legs sway to a beat in his head.
"Fir! What are you doing lazing around in your room!" Kilia gasped as she jumped right onto him.
"I am not lazing little miss. Belik and I where talking before."
"Good cause I need your cleverness and craft."
"Oh?" Fir raised an eyebrow in curiosity.
"I'm trying to hold a rave, to lighten up the mood of this place and Anka is being more of a hinder then help." She explained twirling her blond hair around.
"And you want me to help secretly set this up?"
"Yes!"
"Sure I'll help! As long as we don't get caught."
"Us, get caught? Don't make me laugh dear Fir. Anka is to busy trying to figure out Life and Death to notice a party going on around him."
"Then what's our plan oh fearless leader?" Fir got a glint in his eyes, one promising much mischief.
"Thought you would never ask." Kilia chuckled bouncing off the bed and closed to door. Making sure it was locked she hopped back over and the plan began.
"Death, I think the cards don't like us much anymore." She sighed resting her hands in her lap.
"Only Anka doesn't like us." Death tried to comfort her sister.
"He is the most respectable card in this mansion. They listen to what he tells them. I just don't want to be hated." Life gave a small sob reaching out for her pillow to hug.
"The only thing that should matter my twin it the acceptance of their other cards in our deck and keeping Jou as safe as possible." The fallen one of the angels pulled her sister into a hug, rocking back and forth.
"Belik seems suspicious of us. Even more now that we hid though out the duels."
"It's better that we don't appear in public duels for a while unless it is against the decks in this house. Considering none of the cards recognized the snake charmer."
"None of them may have seen his face during the battle."
"He gave a long enough monologue before the battle even started. I'm sure at least Anka would have seen his face at one point."
"Vestive wasn't down in the room when Anka was connecting us to the real world." Life pointed out.
"It is probably better that they don't recognize him, or they would be even more suspicious of us." Death mumbled leaning back against the wall of their room.
"Well Fir likes us enough and so do Pursha and Kilia."
"I highly doubt anyone could hate you Life. You radiate to much innocents."
Belik all but marched into Anka's room, a scowl painted on his face.
"What did fir have to say about on the subject?" Anka asked off hand as he was searching through his closet.
"He trusts them with his life."
"And you?" Anka turned around, fixing Belik into his gaze.
"I don't trust them with my life but I do trust them. In every duel Jou had they hid, but that could be justified under certain circumstances. I have no reason not to trust them, but there is also a warning that I get from them. I can't place it but it is almost like they are protecting us from something."
"Belik they prevented their old master from passing on!"
"Anka, the girl was a child when she died. I doubt she would have known what happened to her and when she did find out she wouldn't have accepted it as her fate. I remember very well when your sister died and you refused to accept it."
"That was a different story! She was the only family I had!" Anka shouted slamming his fist into the wall.
"You didn't consider Yami your family as well?"
"After my sister died I did. Before that, only Mana held that place."
"There are legends of twins being two sides of the same soul, or being special lovers in a past life. Though most sibling relationships refer to a boy and a girl."
"The point of this Belik?"
"It may have taken the death of Mana for you to consider Yami family, but Life and Death saw Ankari as part of theirs. She looked like their child or twin."
"Stop beating around the bush." Anka sighed leaning against the previously abused wall.
"Ankari may have refused to leave the only family she had, like you. So in turn, she would have stayed a ghost until she passed on. Life and Death made it easier for her by giving her a body normal people could see. As a child I would have been lonely if no one could see me and talk to me."
"So you are saying they went against Anubis to make their master happy?"
"Wouldn't you have done the same thing to keep Mana alive? Anubis has the power to transport spirits to the after life, I doubt he could force a child there if she had strong will to live."
"Are you saying Mana has a weak will?"
"Mana accepted she was dead and passed on to a better life. She had the concept of life and death. Ankari looked no more then 9 when she died. What I am trying to say is Life and Death gave her a body so she could eventually accept her death. If she stayed a spirit she wouldn't know why people ignored her and thus turned malevolent." Belik sighed this time, massaging his temples to rid away the on coming headache.
"They should have done the correct thing and let Anubis deal with her."
"If you had the chance would you save Mana or let her pass? Give the truth and no the high morals crap."
"I would save her." Anka whispered.
"Then what's your problem with those two?"
"I like Death!" Anka shouted, making Belik miss as he attempted to lean against the wall.
"That was unexpected." Belik mumbled from the floor.
"And the thing is I don't know why. And when I do try to talk to her it ends up being an argument."
"Only you have yourself to blame for that one." Belik pulled himself up from the floor, then carefully leaned against the wall.
"What am I suppose to do? I like her, but I am also suspicious over her and her sister. They are hiding something serious from us!"
"And you are sneaking around behind their backs isn't? If they catch you any grounds for a relationship are going to be gone."
"Then what should I do? When I confront them about it Death took Life and dragged her away." Anka let gravity take over, sliding to the floor.
"I have a solution for you."
"Oh really?" Anka looked up skeptically.
"Kilia is throwing a rave whether you approve of it or not. Be nice to Death and ask her to dace. You may actually get on her good side."
"She's overprotective of Life."
"Don't approach Life, only talk to Death unless Life talks to you. Women are like that, especially if they are close twins. Don't blow off Life, but go over like you want to talk to Death and not her sister."
"You know a lot about this Belik, plan on asking a twin out yourself?"
"I was going to ask Mana out before she died." An uncomfortable and awkward silence fell around them.
"Kilia are you sure Anka isn't going to notice this?" Fir sweat dropped, looking directly at the cloth covered item.
"Fir you give him too much credit. Anka never looks in this room." Kilia giggled.
"It's a 25 foot fountain? How is he not going to notice!"
"None of the other cards saw a thing when we where bringing it in here." Kilia started to shift her eyes about.
"Kilia, you paid them off." Fir reminded her point blank.
"So what if I did! Just a minor detail." Kilia laughed again, eying their "hidden" fountain.
"I hope that was your own money at least." Fir sighed running a hand through cherry colored hair.
"Nope!"
"Shit…"
Me- I got it done!
Myself- You know for a romantic holiday you didn't put out a romantic fic.
Me- Shut up! There was some romance in it.
I- I actually agree with myself for once in this.
Me- Well I don't have a boyfriend so I shouldn't have to be romantic.
Myself- Cause it makes the readers happy.
Me- I am sure you people can live.
Myself- And I ask myself why I decided to stick around
Mine- :with her letter blocks spells out: either that or marry that man:
