While still keeping a firm grip on Ezekiel's arms and keeping the dagger at the ready, the woman moved across the sand and started to feel around inside of Sesshomaru's clothing. Ezekiel was disgusted, Egyptians have great respect and don't go over there bodies looking for more items of value to sell. Even thieves respect that, yet her was this murderer of a woman searching through a dead mans clothes. Finally her hand withdrew but came out holding a rope, and Ezekiel knew what was going to happen next. It's going to be a long night, thought Ezekiel as he was tossed to the sand in front of a palm tree. Black as Ezekiel had decided to call her wrapped the rope around him twelve times and fastened knots after every encirclement. There was now no way Ezekiel could escape and he knew it was useless even trying. For even if by some miracle he did get loose, Black would be on him in an instant. "Now then. Lets begin with something simple, who are you?" Ezekiel had to think fast and could only come up with the name of the first pharaoh of the second dynasty, Shippo. So... "My name is Shippo, prince of northern Egypt." he said with a confident tone in his voice. "Liar!" Black yelled as she kicked him in the ribs. "There is no northern prince, Naraku has no children!" the moment she stopped speaking Ezekiel received another swift kick in the ribs, but this one was followed by a sickening crack, and a stab of pain in his chest. Ezekiel felt his mind slipping into unconsciousness, so he fought desperately to stay awake. It was in vain though because no sooner had Black asked the next question that Ezekiel slumped over in the ropes and into the ease of unconsciousness.
When Ezekiel awoke he realized he was laying on his back gazing up at the ceiling of some small building. Then his thoughts turned to Inuyahsa and Sesshomaru, lying in the desert, dead. That was enough he comanded himself and his body lurched with the effort to keep his dinner the previous night down. Then he thought of the assassin in the desert. Was she here? Ezekiel shot strait up on the wooden floor and immediately regretted doing so. In his haste to sit up he had forgotten about the broken rib he had received the previous night. Wailing with pain he fell back onto the floor, closed his eyes and panted to recover his strength. "Ah! Your awake my young friend!" came a voice from above him. Ezekiel slowly opened his eyes to see the smiling face of a priest. He looked around his mid-sixties and had a bald head and a short white beard. " Good morning Hem netjer (High Priest) Sota." whispered Ezekiel, far to weakened by pain to perform a proper greeting to the High Priest of Amun. "Yes, good morning Ezekiel. Would you like to tell me what happened to you? Or shall I have to send Yuhcv on you?" The High priest joked as Ezekiel sat up again, much slower this time though. "Monkeys, it just had to be monkeys didn't it?" laughed Ezekiel as he looked over at where Yuhcv the monkey sat sleeping near the alter. "Well actually Sota..." And Sota listened as Ezekiel explained everything that had happened over the last five months. From meeting Inuyahsa to the fateful night in the desert that everything went wrong.
"I agree with you upon wanting to over through the Pharaoh but I will not do it." said Shippo slowly after hearing Ezekiel's sad story. "I know a way to get you in but I will not help you in killing Naraku." "Thank you my friend. You don't know how much this means to me. But first I must go and give my final respects to my friends." Ezekiel spoke clearly and without fear. "I will see you soon Hem netjer." Later Ezekiel stood over two freshly dug graves. He had to dig them nearly seven feet down so that the sands of time wouldn't take them away. "Goodbye my friends. I shall complete our mission and get revenge for your deaths." Ezekiel whispered as he dropped to his knees while tears ran down his face and dropped onto the sand. About fifty feet away stood Shippo. He was going to walk over and comfort the boy but then he realized that Ezekiel was a man on a mission. He will kill Pharaoh Naraku and kill the assassin that murdered Sesshomaru, Inuyasha and Miroku.
That night Ezekiel was standing in front of Pharoah Naraku holding a goblet of honey and black adder poison. Earlier that day Shippo shaved Ezekiel's head and dressed him in regular priest's robes. They mixed honey and bought a bottle of black adder poison from a peddler in the market. Then they made a plan...
"Behold, Pharaoh Naraku! This is a gift from Amun, he has declared you are the son of Amun and has given me an immortality drink for you. If you do not drink every last drop it shall not work. My son, Hem netjer apprentice to Amun shall give it to you while I sing the sacred song."
Ezekiel slowly walked forward and pressed the goblet into Narku's hand while Shippo sang.
Say farewell to the life you know,
It shall not be seen again.
Your power in life as pharaoh great,
Will survive for generations ten.
As you ascend toward the gods,
Remember this song pure.
Upon this holy throne you reign,
For soon it all will be gone.
For soon it all will be gone.
For soon it will all be gone.
Good ending? I enjoyed writing this and I aprechiate all your feedback, till the next time, Hobey Ho, wockysrule9000
