Hey! It's me again. I'M BACK! I've finally done some editing and I hope that you enjoy it!
Disclaimer: Yeah, I think you all get it by now. My name is Hikari, not that other guys name. Sorry, I don't remeber it. ;
ON WITH THE FIC!
(Chapter 5) Atemu's Outburst.
He's an 11 year old Pharoh... poor guy... Aya thought sadly, stalking to where she thought he was headed.
That was it, until she realized, she was hopelessly lost.
Aya ran aimlessly around corners and into rooms, all desserted, trying 1: to find where she was and 2: find Atemu. She was about ready to give up. But, by noticing a burst of light through the crack in the door, she quickly changed her mind. ATEMU! "Atemu! Calm down! RA DAMNIT!" Seth cursed, trying fruitlessly to calm down the depressed Prin-I mean, Pharaoh just as she burst through the door.
"It's. Not. FAIR!" Atemu cried. Another flash of light. She looked on, noting that it was coming from the Millenium Puzzle.
There was an ear-piercing shriek, echoing off every wall.
Then, the boy grew silent. "Atemu? You alright?" Seth cooed carfully, taking precaution to change his normal smugness into more of a family appropriate tone.
With another sudden burst of light, though more minor, Seth flew to the wall and hung in the air, pinned to the wall by invisible and unbreakable chains.
"YOU! LET MY BABY COUSIN GO YOU MONSTER!" Seth wailed.
"Why? I'm finally free to do as i please after all these years inprisoned in this CHILDS mind! And this imbecile has no chance of regaining control, for he is far too weak now that DADDY isn't here to save him! insert maniacal laughter hereMWAHAHAHA!"
That's the point that Aya realized what was happening.
FLASHBACK! YAAAAY!
"Yes! In the village, THIEF KING BAKURA! He's been spotted, and he's headed to the palace with is accomplice, Ryou!" Mahado exclaimed.
"Who?" Aya asked, totally clueless.
Both Atemu and Mahado did an anime fall .
Atemu stated, "Thief Bakura. His village was destroyed a year ago because of some of our soldiers-they've all been dismissed I may say- who said the Pharaoh-my dad- sent them! That is entirely a lie! MY DAD-"
"Calm yourself Atemu! You know what happens when you lose your temper!" Mahado interrupted. What does he mean? What happens? she almost asked
END FLASHBACK! awww...
So this is what happened when Atemu got angery! The Millennium Puzzle unleashed an evil spirit that inhabited his body!(A/N: Yes, much like Bakura does to Ryou in the future episodes.)
"Leave. Him. ALONE!" Aya boomed, getting more ticked off that some meniacal villan was in control of her best friend more than she was being couragous.
The body-snatcher turned to her, solid black eyes gleaming and the Millenium symbol glimmering brightly on his forehead.
"Well, well, well. If it isnt little Aya, hmm? Atemu fancies you, that he does, does he not? What to do with such a fine specimen like you. Decisions, decisions." he cooed, circling Aya while his lips curved into a sickening smirk.
If she had learned anything from Bakura, it was how to fight and defend yourself. As soon as 'Atemu' was in position, Aya struck, taking him to the ground, but he wasn't going to go out that easily.
With the flip of his arm, he took her legs out from underneath her. Soon, they were rolling on the ground, enveloped in an all-out brawl.
But, unfortunately, since the man posing as Atemu had started concentrating on you, Seth was able to slide over to a nearby table, though he was still suspended in mid-air, and throw a tablet at his cousin's head. All Aya had to do was hold him in place.
Within moments, he'd slumped to the ground, out like a lamp-post in Harry Potter. (A/N: I love Harry Potter! But they always take the light out of the lamppost so haha! …--; Sorry, I had too much sugar today…)
The eye that had appeared on his forehead before evaporated, leaving glittering dust particles shimmering on the adobe flooring. Seth fell to the ground, released from his invisible prison.
He walked calmly to Aya and Atemu, then let out his fury on the Yami, attacking the little dust particles and stomping them into the ground, making him seem even more out of character than he was before, when he was on the verge of tears.
"Well... the deed is done." he joked.
"What now? Is that-that THING gone?" Aya asked, looking to the elder boy for answers. "I dunn-"
"WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!" Mahado roared from the doorway.
Aya frantically tried to think of a believable cover-up. 'Believable' being the keyword. "Atemu." Seth said shortly, pointing the limp form of her they're friend on the floor.
From the look on Mahado's face, she assumed that he understood. "But, is he free now? I mean, that thing- it dissapeared!" Aya exclaimed, pointing to her forehead, then to the ground.
Seth and Mahado exchanged unreadable glances, exactly what Aya expected, and hated, from them. Mahado walked carfully towards her and the unconscious soon-to-be Pharoh. "Can you take the Pri- I mean Pharoh, to his sleeping quarters, Aya?" Mahado adressed. "Alright, tell me what you find, okay?" Aya answered, fourcing a smile, picking the boy up, with great strain, and took her best friend to his room.
Well, well, well. If it isnt little Aya, hmm? Atemu fancies you, that he does, does he not?
The thought haunted Aya as she sat by Atemu's bedside, praying to Ra above that he was free from that menice.
"Aya? That you?" a weak voice wimpered.
She looked up at Atemu. He was, by the looks of it, still half asleep. "Yah, you okay?" Aya sighed/asked. "Never been better." he mumbled, sarcasim obvious in his voice. His voice then changed to a more serious tone. "Question is: are you?"
Before she could answer, Seth waltzed in, along with Mahado and Ishizu. Aya rushed to see them, tripping over her feet , but regaining her balance before crashing into the priests and priestess.
Seth looked bleak compared to the others, who were showing slight grins, but… Seth was always emotionless. "Well!" she asked, eager to know if Atemu was going to be okay.
"After examining the evidence extremely closely, we have concluded that he is, most likely," Dramatic Pause. "Free." Seeing she was about to bust out in happy dances and jumping for joy, he quickly added, "BUT! were going to do a test to make sure!"
"What. Are. You. Whispering. ABOUT!" Atemu yelled, still a little irritable about his endeavor earlier, though the sadness about his loss still shown in his eyes.
"Oh, nothing that doesn't concern you." Seth crowed, knowing exactly what buttons to push, being his cousin. "If anything happens, knock him out!" he whispered to the group behind him.
"HEY!" Atemu cried. They went back-and-forth with insults before it was finally conquered.
"WHOA YOU TWO! CALM DOWN!" Aya screamed, drowning out the noise.
"Atemu, do you realize what just happened?" Mahado inquired, closing his eyes and lifting his finger up, looking all too much like a teacher lecturing a small child.
"Yeah, Seth ticked me off." the small boy raged. "NO!- well, yes. But that's not the point! You got angry, and you're still in control." Ishizu said.
Atemu looked dumbstruck. They all had a watched on as Atemu jumped up and down, ecstatic that he was, at last, free from his Yami's wrath.
Later That Night .
"Follow me. There's still one place I haven't showed you." Atemu said to Aya, once everyone else had fallen into a peaceful slumber.
He took Aya's hand and they walked out past the garden, filled with all of the most beautiful plants Aya had ever seen, and into the desert, the only place she was truly accustomed to.
A small stream came into view, cascading to the north. (A/N: The Nile if you cant tell. Or, at least, a branch off of it!)"AH! IM BLIND!" Aya joked as Atemu slipped his hands over her eyes, obscuring her vision. "SHH! We're not supposed to be here right now! And, I'm trying not to spoil the surprise." Atemu whispered.
They stepped down the line for a while until he murmered in her ear, "Ready?" "YEAH!" Aya said, noticing the sound of water.
Aya had heard rushing water, but hadn't expected this in the slightest bit! Lying before you was a humongous waterfall! (A/N: If there's no waterfall in Egypt, then I just created a new geographical landmark:D)
There were brightly colored fish happiley soaring through the water and beautiful rockforms and such surrounding the landmark.
"It's wonderful!" Aya gasped, taking in the wonderful surroundings.
"Thanks for helping me out, Aya. You're a great friend." he said softly.
Aya felt a tingle in the pit ofher stomach, but ignored it as she watched Atemu fumble with a bag that was tied to his waist. "Oh! Wait! This is for you!" He pulled out a sparkling necklace with a blood-red tinted ruby hanging off of it. She gasped. "It's an heirloom, but I want you to have it! It's good fortune if I'm correct." he stated, gently wrapping it around Aya's neck.
