Chapter 13: A visit from an ex

After the phoenix holders left, there was a figure watching them in the alleys. The figure put down his hood reveling smooth black hair and dark red eyes. He was wearing a black robe but, underneath it was a dark blue shirt with black pants. "What are you doing, James?" A female's voice asked. James turned around facing a female dark wizard. The female had long brown hair and dark brown eyes. Even though she was wearing a black robe, she was wearing a black top with a short black skirt. "I'm going to follow the Lighting Phoenix Holder, Cynthia" James answered. "Fine, then. Get you in butt in hot water with the boss. Don't say I didn't warn you" Cynthia said leaving James. She went to a shadow, and then disappears. "Good riddance" James said to himself. James followed Yugi, in the shadows, all the way to his home.

At Yugi's home

James was in a tree watching Yugi, as he goes to bed. Yugi was talking to Tarra while James watches. When Yugi went to bed, James thought this was a perfect time to put a hex on Yugi. "You'll be curse for long time, Lighting Phoenix Holder." James said. He was about to go in when his senses went off. James stayed in the tree. "Eye of the Dragon" James whispered in a hissing sound. His dark red eyes turned sharp like the eyes of a snake. James's dragon vision was able to see Yami watching over Yugi. James hissed when he saw this. Yami turned around, and James quickly left in the shadows. He'd been spotted by the Pharaoh's spirit.

In Yugi's Room

Yami saw the Dark Wizard escaping into the shadows. What was that Dark Wizard up to? Yami thought. Whatever it was, Yami knew he had to wake up Yugi. Yami went up to Yugi and started waking him up. "Yugi, Yugi, wake up" Yami said shaking Yugi lightly. "Mmmm, five more minutes" Yugi moaned and shifted in his bed. "Yugi, a Dark Wizard was here" Yami said in an urgent tone. Yugi quickly open his eyes and sat up. "A Dark Wizard was here!" Yugi shouted. Yugi quickly covered his mouth and looked at his door. He waited for a few minutes and sighed in relief; his grandpa didn't come up stairs to check on him. "Yami, are you sure a Dark Wizard was here?" Yugi asked in a whispered. "Yugi, I'm positive that a Dark Wizard was here watching you." Yami answered. Yugi got out of his bed, grabbed his pendent and started to look at it. "How are we supposed to contact Tarra?" Yugi asked as he turned to Yami. "I think I know, Yugi" Yami answered. "Hold the pendent with both your hands and think hard enough to get to Tarra" Yami instructed. Yugi hold the pendent with both of his hands, closed his eyes, and started to contact Tarra. The pendent started to glow and Yugi heard a phoenix call. He opened his eyes, headed to the window and opened it. Tarra came threw it, in her phoenix form. She landed on Yugi's bed and changed into her human form. "Is there something wrong, Holders?" Tarra asked Yami and Yugi. "A Dark Wizard was here, Tarra" Yami said. "A Dark Wizard was here!" Tarra almost squealed. "Tarra, keep your voice down" Yugi said hushing voice. Tarra covered her mouth with a face saying I'm sorry. "Tarra, what would a Dark Wizard be doing here?" Yami asked. "To put a hex" Tarra answered. Yami's eyes widen. Yugi had a confused look on his face. "What's a hex, Yami?" Yugi asked looking at his dark. "A hex is the most dangerous curse someone can place on someone" Yami said. Yugi made an 'eep' noise. "We have to follow the Dark Wizard" Tarra said. "Tarra, are you nuts!" Yugi said almost shouting. "Yugi, the only Dark Wizard capable of putting hexes is the Dark Wizard the two of you faced before" Tarra said. Yugi and Yami knew who this Dark Wizard was, no other than James. Tarra went to the window and before she changed she told Yugi to meet her on the roof. Yami went back into the puzzle and Yugi headed up to the roof.

On the roof

Tarra was on top of the roof waiting for Yugi. Yugi came on to the roof and saw Tarra in her phoenix form. "Get on" Tarra said. "Are you sure?" Yugi asked as he approached Tarra. "Don't worry, Yugi. Phoenixes, like me, can carry up to 2 tons (1)" Tarra explained. "Okay" Yugi said. He got on Tarra. At first he wasn't used to being on a large bird but he got used to it. "Ready?" Tarra asked Yugi. "Uh…" "Then let's take off!" Tarra said without getting a replied. Yugi grabbed a hold on Tarra as she takes off. Yugi had his eyes closed, fearing that they were falling.

'Yugi, open your eyes'

'No! We're falling!'

'Open them'

'Are you sure, Yami?'

'Trust me'

'Okay'

Yugi opened his eyes; his breath was taken away. Tarra is not falling, but flying. Yugi was speechless. "You like the view?" Tarra asked Yugi. "It's so cool" Yugi answered. Yugi then got hit with reality. "Tarra, where are we going?" he asked. "I'm following the Dark Wizard's scent" Tarra answered. Yugi nodded. He wonders where they were going.

A few minutes later

Tarra had arrived at a white house. "Whose home is this, Tarra?" Yugi asked. "The Fire and Light Phoenix Holders home" Tarra answered. Yugi now knew this was Merina's and Crystal's home. "What would James want with Merina? I mean, he hates her guts and she hates his guts" Yugi said. "There is a lot more about Merina than meets the eye, Holder" Tarra said. Yugi looked at Tarra with a confused look. "You'll see" Tarra said. She went into a large oak tree and Yugi sat on the branch. He saw James entering the house from the shadows. He watched what was going on.

In Merina's room

James saw his ex sleeping soundless. As he approached her, he licked his lips a few times. James reached her bed and smiled an evil smile. In a hissing voice, he said "Get up, Fire Phoenix Holder". Merina's eyes snapped open. She sits up and turned around and faced James. "What in God's name are you doing here!" Merina shouted. Her fists turned a bright fire red. She was about to hit James, when he got a hold of her fists. "Now now, Merina, you know it's rude to hurt your guest" James said coolly. "You're nothing but an intruder in my household; now get out before I sent you to oblivion!" Merina threaten. "Tsk tsk tsk, Merina, you always threaten people" James said coolly again. "Besides, I dare you to call the others" James added, whispering in Merina's ear (AN: Ewwww!). Merina wanted to shout, but nothing came out of her mouth. She put her head down and sniffed loud. "I thought so, you still have something for me" James said as he pushed Merina hard to the wall. "You're too soft and ignorant" James added. Merina tried to stop the tears from fowling down her cheeks. "You're nothing but a piece of trash" James said. With that he leaves in shadows leaving Merina angry and sad.

Outside

Yugi couldn't believe what he just witnessed. He felt like his heart ripped into two. "Merina" he whispered. All these fixed feelings where coming to him. One minute he felt shocked, then sadness, and now angry.

'Are you all right, Yugi?' Yami asked the mind link

'I don't know, Yami. I don't know what I feel'

'Why is that?'

'Because, I never felt this way before'

'I think I know what you're feeling, young one'

'What am I feeling, Yami'

'I know your feeling but I want you find out on you own'

Yami closed the mind link with Yugi, leaving Yugi something to think about. Yugi watches Merina, as she gets up and walks to her bed. Tarra pecked Yugi lightly on the shoulder; Yugi looked at Tarra. "Are you okay, Holder?" Tarra asked concerned. "I don't know, Tarra. I just don't know" Yugi answered. "We better go home" Tarra said. Yugi nodded, and got on Tarra. Tarra flew off.

As Tarra headed home, Yugi looked back. James didn't have the right to call Merina trash. Yugi thought. Oh Merina, no one has the right to treat you like that, no one. Yugi now know that Merina had an ex that works for the enemy. Somehow, part of Yugi just wanted to comfort Merina. Do I something very deep for Merina? Yugi thought. He asked this question to himself when he got home.


1. I don't know if it's true, but I read it in Harry Potter and Chamber of Secrets

DMoS: Phew! Done

Torru: Chapter 13 is done!

Yugi: Good job

Yami: (nods in agreement)

DMoS: I hope you like the meet with an ex. The reason why Merina has her tough side is cause of her broken heart with her ex.

Yugi: I think it was okay

Yami: Cause you have feelings for Merina

Torru: (laughs)

Yugi: Ha-ha, very funny

DMoS: You know the drill, three reviews or no update! Oh! BTW, me and AnimeGirl20 had teamed up and made a story called Journey to a Desert Heart. It's on my bio so go and check it out! See ya!
