Mc: Yay! It's the last day of school today! Which means in theory I should get more stories done. Also before I being I would like to thank the kind reviewers who have read and reviewed my story. But I have two bones to pick. One is with you, yes you (points to random reader) I know your reading, but not reviewing. Stop that, if you read, please press the little purple button, its my one (ok I have several joys) joy in the world to turn on my computer and see a review in my e-mail box. Second is the bloody flame I got in my mailbox.
(Flash back): Ryou: Hey Mc, you got some reviews .
Mc: Yay! (Takes offered reviews) Lets see, oh how nice I'll have to read their stories; a frequent reviews, nice; and Oww! A flame! (Blows on burnt hand.)
Ryou: Who's it from?
Mc: Not sure, anonymous. (Carefully opens flame and reads) What! A Mary sue…(gets big firry red eyes, then turns into a dragon and flies off. Joey walks in, watching Mc fly off, then walks over to the flame. Staring at it for a few seconds, Joey pulls a stick with a marshmallow at the end of it from behind his backand holds it over the flame, humming) (flashback ends)
Mc: So there you have it, so who every sent that review is very mean; you didn't even tell me what's wrong with my story. If you're going to dis my story please use creative criticism and explain what you see is wrong, or sent flames to my e-mail box. Thank you. Now on with the Fic!
Ryou: Disclaimer: Moonclaw doesn't own Yugioh or the remix quote from The Wizard of Oz. She does own Stela and Sidra. Enjoy
Stela gasped as the woman with white-hair appeared from the shadowed corner. Taking several rapid steps back, Stela tripped over the first step leading up to the stone chest, landing heavily on her behind.
"Are you all right?" the woman asked, walking forward and holding out her hand. Looking up at the woman, who smiled kindly at her, Stela grasped the offered hand and was haled to her feet. "Thanks." Stela muttered still staring at an older version of her self. 'I knew, I knew what Yami was saying was true, somehow. But seeing this person in the flesh, it's like being in a dream. Wait, how do I know this isn't a dream? Maybe I'm dreaming and I'll just wake up and find I've dozed off in class.' Stela thought to herself.
To her surprise the woman chuckled. "It's no dream, I can assure you." She said grinning at Stela. "Who are you?" Stela asked cocking her head to one side. "You know who I am." The woman answered, kneeling down to scratch Silver Fang behind the ear, who sighed and half closed his eyes, plainly enjoying it.
Stela ran her fingers through her hair, looking down at the wolf and woman. "You're the spirit of the Millennium Heart." The spirit nodded looking up at Stela though her Egyptian style blue eyes. "Yes, I'm also your darker half, a yami. You may call me anything you wish though."
"Well what's your name?" Stela asked also kneeling down to pet Fang. The spirit laughed softly, though it sounded sad.
"When I was sealed into this item, I lost all of my memory, except where my homeland is and my name. My homeland is Egypt and my name is Sidra." The spirit said, looking cheerless as she stated this. Looking at Sidra, who had lapsed into a thoughtful silence, Stela saw a deep saddest and she couldn't help but wonder what had happened to the spirit.
"So…are you a good yami or a bad yami?" Stela said hesitantly and she would have giggled if the question weren't serious. Snapping her head up, the trance of unremembered pasts broken, Sidra smiled at Stela. "Depends on who you are." 'Oh, no, this is what the gang is afraid of. What if they are the type of people Sidra is against!' Stela thought, inching back slowly from the spirit. "But I promise you that I wont harm you or your friends and I won't take control unless you wish it or you're in danger." Sidra said as if she had read Stela's mind (which she probably had).
Stela breathed a silent sigh of relief. Standing up, Stela held out her hand to Sidra, who stood and took the offered hand. "Deal." Said Stela happily, shaking Sidra's hand.
Glancing down at her watch, Stela saw that it was 4:59, meaning that she had been in her mind and Sidra's soul room for almost two hours.
"I better go, before everyone thinks I've gone into a coma or something." Stela said regretfully to Sidra. She would have liked to stay and talked with her yami a little longer "Alright, just go out the door that you just came from." Sidra said as Stela walked towards that door. "And Stela." Sidra said quietly, making Stela stop and face her yami. "Remember that I'm always here."
Stela smiled and waved at her yami and Silver Fang, who was sitting at Sidra's feet, tongue hanging out oh his mouth. Turning the handle of the door and stepping though it, Stela blinked and saw several faces staring at her.
"Hey! Your back! We thought you had fallen asleep on us. You okay?" Joey said happy as he helped Stela to her feet. "Well? Who is the spirit of the Millennium Heart? Is he good or evil?" Yugi asked, a curious look on his face.
Stela giggled suddenly, getting questioning looks from everyone. "Well, for starter, my yami is a she." "A SHE?" Tristan and Joey said in unison. "What's wrong with a female millennium spirit?" Tea demanded at the two offenders. "Nothing, there's nothing wrong with that, it's just that every Millennium spirit we've come across had been a guy." Tristan said defensively, waving his hands in front of himself as if they were peace flags.
Bakura walked alone on the sidewalk, watching people past him as he noted jewelry or exposed purses. He had refused to join the goody-goods gathering after school, trying to spend most of his time away from them. Walking by the park though, he saw the Pharaoh and co. talking to Stela just as she returned from her soul room. Creeping closer to the group he caught the most interesting information. The new girl, Stela, had a yami. 'This,' Bakura thought. 'Could work to my vantage.' He was getting bored with being good; maybe he could sway Stela's yami to help him get the Millennium items. Creeping away, grinning at his plot, Bakura failed to hear the rest of Stela explanation of her meeting with her yami. 'I'm going to have to meet this spirit of the Millennium Heart.' He thought.
Back with the gang, Stela was still telling everyone about Sidra as they got their stuff to leave the park.
"Also she's said that she won't harm anyone I don't want to be harmed, so I would say that she's ok." Stela said, hosting her backpack onto her shoulders.
"Well that's a relief." Ryou said smiling as they left the park. "Oh, and her name is Sidra." Stela said absently if case anyone wanted to know.
'Sidra. Sidra! I've heard that name before, but who was she.' Yami thought suddenly as he walked along and was about to asked Stela if Sidra had said anything else when she turn to everyone "I'm sorry I can't come to the game shop, it's late and my mom expects me home soon." "That's alright, see you tomorrow then." Yugi said, smiling and waving as Stela turned down a different street waving and calling behind her good-bye. "Bye, see'ya" everyone said as they waved and continued on their way to the game shop
"What's wrong Yami?" Yugi asked falling behind to talk to Yami, a questioning lookon his (a/n: Cute!) face. "Umm, nothing wrong Yugi, just thinking about a homework assignment." Yami said, careful to close his and Yugi's mind connection, least Yugi know he was lying.
"Well come on, I think grandpa is making chili tonight and I want to stop him before he adds his special red peppers." Yugi said with a laugh as he raced home, calling back to Yami and the other that the last one to the game shop was a rotten egg. Speeding up to catch up with Yugi and the others, Yami keep thinking about Sidra and how her name fit into his past.
Mc: Another chapter in the bag! I just hope that my ideas start flow faster now. Also about the names, I wanted a name that meant star, to match Stela's, but the only Egyptian name is Isis and it's taken. /Pout/ So I chose Sidra which is Latin for star. Also I have realized why no new reader were reading my story, the first two chapter are smashed together because of new story format system. So I'll be fixing that soon, and I'll be updating The Midget and adding a few new stories as well, so I hope you will be looking for them!
Stela: Well you know that to do, R&R and that doesn't mean reuse and recycle, though you should do that too.
