"My Wish"
"This one is dedicated to all the Mothers in the world. They carry you for almost a year inside them and put up with the shitty insanity we give them once we get out of them! Yet no matter what they will die to save you! If you can please check out a picture on my Deviant Art Account titled called "Mother's Day" If my link isn't working I suggest you go to someone's who does like Agent-G on my Favorite Author List. Then type into search at the site for Aziza and Atem and that will most defiantly give a shit load of my art then just click my name go from there."
"I like to say this also if I could choose anyone to voice Samira I'd choose Jen Kohn. She did Ursa Zuko's Mom and I thought she was extremely good. Me I wish to be a voice actress one day and I was told by professional that I was the most naturally talented person they ever met! Who'd voice Aziza? Me! She along with all my other OC girls from my other stories or I hold dear are in my mind voiced by me! Because each of them is a part of me and who I wish I could be! So let's continue shall we?"
For a few moments no one spoke a word, everyone breath was at a standstill. All five hearts all but stopped beating from the event occurring. Samira was gazing at her son and Yami was gazing at his mom. There was no doubt they're mother and child. Same beautiful unique tricolor tresses, same sexy features, same body type, despite the fact that his mom was slightly taller but only a little.
She could've been Yami if a gender-bender had been done on him. Only her eyes were different. While their eyes were the same shape as well as, both possessed that piercing quality to them, his were pools of melted amethyst hers were the perfect mix of blue and green, there're teal. Samira's favorite colors were teal and turquoise. Furthermore she looked extraordinarily ravishing when she wore them because they complemented her so well.
Finally she spoke in a voice that seemed to be of an angel of dreams. "Yami," as beads of moisture welled up in her lovely eyes. Her smile was same one that made all the girls in the universe fall insanely in love with Yami.
"Mommy,"
They fell into each other arms and cried. Well Samira was the one crying, Yami was indeed over the moon to see her yet wasn't crying. Despite the fact it looked like he wanted to weep beads of euphoric moistures from his eyes.
Yugi found these both emotive as well as concerning at the same time. He'd known Yami for a month and he'd told him when they met his mom was dead. So someone just told a big lie to him. An extremely heartless lie at that! How could you tell a child their mom was dead? Or worse tell them they'd been slaughter? How does one live like that? Yami had told him in secret that his mom had been murder.
So while he was extremely exhilarated for Yami finding out his mom was alive. It still was a bit disturbing he wasn't crying like baby. He felt a bit dumb too for not making the connection. After all he'd known Aziza's stepmom as long as he had known her. Just the same he was extremely jubilant for Yami, so he shed the tears that he couldn't for him.
Aziza was also dumbstruck, yet for a few more reasons then Yugi. Yami was her BROTHER! She'd know all her life that Samira wasn't a normal woman. She wasn't lying when she'd told the boys that an "Angel" had saved her beloved father and he'd done the same to her. But she still hadn't guessed that Samira was Yami's mom!
How was she going to explain to her mom, she'd encounter her brother at a rave? Then spend the night getting him sober? More to the point how were she and Yami going to now act with each other? She loved Samira just as much as her real mom Efra, so informing her son was inebriated wasn't something she was looking forward too doing!
Samir on the other hand was smiling a small smile. For so long despite they'd had good marriage and Aziza was a wonderful young woman, it didn't stop the one thing that made his beloved Angel of Dreams cried ever night to sleep. She'd told him she'd had a son and she loved him more then anything else. So when she had chosen to become his wife he truly understood how distraught she was that she couldn't save him. It looked like her prayer was finally answered.
Yami had forgotten about everyone else. He wasn't an immortal prince or a 17 year-old high school teenager at that moment. He was once more the little boy he'd had been in the gardens outside the Palace playing blithe with his mommy until the end of time there to make him smile and laugh.
Samira herself was happier then she'd been in a very long time. Still she knew that she and Yami had to have sometime alone. There was a great deal to talk about and also she just wanted to have him to herself for a couple of hours. So getting out of the hug she fished her wallet out and pulled out $25 dollars and handed them to her husband.
"Samir, please be so kind and take Aziza and Yugi out to get some ice cream at Twisty Scoop and maybe get a DVD at 2nd Cinema, please? Yami and I have a lot to catch up on. Oh Yugi is it alright if I call your grandfather and tell that Yami is going to spend the rest of the weekend with us? You can stay too if you want. I'll inflated the airbed for you,"
"Sure that's fine it more then fine! Um Yami I'm really happy for you! We'll bring back something special to watch ok?" as the three left leaving mother and son alone.
"Oh, Yami! I've dreamed for 14 years of holding you in my arms once more. Now that I've, I don't want to let you go again. My you certainly filled out in all the right places, Yami,"
"Mom you don't know how much it means to me. To see you, standing and smiling means to me. I've for last 14 years thought you're dead! Murdered! Tricked into giving up your beautiful wings of immortally and then killed! I've missed you more then you will ever know!" he proclaim to her as he fell back into her arms just to hear her heat beating.
"I've missed you more then you'll ever know, Yami, my little angel," as her tears descended upon her son face.
It was plain as the nose on your face that Yami got his looks from his mom who herself was by far extraordinarily sexy as well. Both of them made your hormones in addition to endorphins hit the roof go past the moon. It'd be safe to say if prostrations wasn't illegal, countless people would pay all the money in the world to sell them their virginity or have a night out on the town with them same with Yugi! Damn were they smoking!
"We need to talk, Yami. There is much to say. I've got questions and I'm positive you've them too. If you come with me to the kitchen, I'll make us something to snack on. I've learned when you're about to tell a long story it's best to have refreshments handy,"
"You're right about that, Mom. Food is great comforter; just don't overindulge on it. Still almost all the food and drinks of this world are by far better then all the carp that is served back home, in Xanadu! You'd think magical food would taste better then sawdust and paste together. With the exception of vegetables, Earth food is wicked awesome! They tie when it comes to foul taste of Xanadu foods!" Yami remarked sarcastically as he followed his mom to the kitchen.
He was feeling the same basket of overflowing emotions that he was sure she was feeling at that moment. Still as much as they were overjoyed to see one another it didn't change the fact this still was very awkward moment for both of them.
He saw his mom get out a Magic Bullet. He'd seen publicize a lot on channel 22, TV Guide Channel. He'd thought it was a rather cool and nifty device, but the cost was ridicules absurd as was everything else in life. Apparently his mom didn't mind spending $99.00 dollars.
While she was busy mix something up, he took a look around the kitchen. Last time he was in it for five minutes too make some blood up. He'd had to admit the "Blue Blood" taste great though the rest weren't bad either. He was just looking in how the kitchen was blend with Efra clever way to help her daughter around the house and his mom own unique touch at things.
He was admiring the unicorn suncatcher in the window when his stepped on something soft. This something screeched at the top of their voice and he jumped as a cat darted away and onto the island. Then hissed once and leaped out of sight under the microwave spilling a lot of bottles and other contents.
"I'll get it!" he told his mother as she turned to see what the racket was. He quickly began to clean up the mess. He then picked up one of the amber colored bottles and read the label. "Dr. Atul Sheth. Aziza Keeper: Blue Depakokte ER, Take 1 tablet twice a day." Yami quickly read the other four bottles over. All of them had the same doctor and Aziza name but after that was different.
"White Depakokte: 1 tablet at Bedtime, Lithium Carb: 1 in the morning and two at bedtime, Guanfacine: take one twice a day, Trazodone: One at Bedtime."
"Mom is Aziza in poor health?" he inquired worryingly at the same time as she finished making them their drinks. She set the serving dish on the counter and looked at the bottle of Trazodone in her son's hand.
"She is no sicker then you or me. But like all of us she's her own inner problems. She isn't just simply blind. I can tell you see she by far surpass everyone impression she's a helpless little doll. She by far kicks ass and is proud of it! But she has something else that hurts her only this can't be seen by the eye. Only Yugi knows this and he kept it secret for her."
"What berates my sister soul?" he demanded to his mom.
"She's bi-polar. Trust me mental illness isn't very well understood or treated well. The best I'm able to word this is, that she has very intense and extreme emotions, but has no real middle ground and normal mundane things are a little harder for her. People have for long times have belittled people with mental illness even if some of the most well know and respect people had it. Still if you tried to obtain Social Security, it is harder to get because they can't see what's wrong. Come let's talk on the roof. I wish to see the sunset and gaze at the stars."
"Did I hurt the cat? He not coming out from under there,"
"Oh Tess? She's fine a little skittish but nice. She'll come out when she ready. Just leave some cat treats in her dish and show her you're a friend,"
So he left the cat some food and followed his mom to the roof. She handed him the drinks along with a bag of Cheetohs. Followed by her unrolling a beautiful quilted blanket and laying it out for them. Then they sat down and begun to talk about things that need to be said.
"So do you want to go first or should I?" she asked as she wiped her crimson stained lips. She turned too looked at Yami whose face was covered in the bright orange of the Cheetohs. Giggling she handed him a moist towel to wipe his dashing smile off with.
"Gomenasai, Mom. I'm a prince, I outta remember my manners,"
"Yami you're not just a prince and if you like junk food go ahead get a little dirty. Just wash your hands before touching something ok?"
"Thanks Mom,"
"I'll go first and tell you my tale. Time for us to begin our journey to the past,"
"Long before you're born or the Xanadu City was built, I was happily living with my parents and was just enjoying life. I'd had parents who loved me for me. True friends and I was content. I didn't yearn for what I couldn't possess. I didn't do things the easy way, you know just snap my fingers. I liked to struggle and fall down. I liked learning through trial and error. My parents taught me right. If I was bad I was punish accordingly, if I was good I got an appropriated reward. My parents would've been portrayed as having a very "Mortal Method" when it came to child rearing."
"I've never meet my grandparents of either side. Father's are dead as I'm sure yours are as well. But I believe you're parents did an extremely excellent job with you, Mom." Yami told her proudly which caused her to blush the color of her braids.
"Thank you, Yami. I owe a great deal of whom I am to my father. He was very important to me and taught me a great deal of wisdom. Not that my mother wasn't a very wonderful soul, she was the one who bestowed to me many of my talents like painting and gracefulness come from her. All the same I was closer to my father. He taught me how not too be a stupid brain-dead doll that I was supposed to be when I wed your father. I dreaded that day all of my first 18 years,"
"There is very little to nothing good to say about Aknamkanon. The only thing I ever thing, I loved about him was his eyes. I loved the color of his eyes. Such a beautiful color and he gave them too you. But unlike his eyes that are portals to worlds worse then Hell, your eyes see good in people, they find help and they show the way out of the dark," she told him as she gazed at his eyes.
For a moment despite the fact that his eyes did come from his father, he was delighted that there color was so inspirational. They both inhaled their drinks and then she continued to narrate her tale of her past to him.
"As I stood by and watched as the rising insanity overtook our people. How easily the mayhem and chaos replace the once simple and passive realm. How in next to no time all children were born with the seeds of evil already thickly weeded inside their damn souls before they even left womb. To be brought into a world were the rotting carnage was so massive you couldn't take a step without staining yourself with the bloody souls of the corruption fools! A small number of of us sensed in our way why the Heart was allowing this universal holocaust to continue. But try and tell anyone you'd be dead before you could utter a breath."
"Those nightmares still plague my mind every night. Watching as friends and family turned on each other to make an effort and achieve more of the chimera of power! War is worse then Hell my son and if the price to have peace must be paid in blood of the living when people whether they're immortal or mortal will stop fighting pointless battles with their brethren and act as one race?" she asked him as well as the heavens above at the same time as the stars emerged in the skies to frolic in the night.
"But that was eons ago, Mother. What does the fall of Xanadu have to with right now?" he inquired her inquisitively. He didn't understand why this was important or what it had to do with him. He wanted answers this instant! After 14 years of mendacity in addition to mistreatment in any form conceivable he was extremely fed-up!
"Don't be so impatient, my son. I know they say "patience is a virtue" but it's got to be the hardest to master. Do you evoke the day of my wedding anniversary to your 'Father?" Samira inquired him resentfully at the same time as she played with his colorful locks.
"April 9th why?"
"I was forcefully wedded to Aknamkanon the same day Xanadu come to an end. As well as the Heart finally stopped beating all together, and our world lost the ability to be able to continue living. As the final crack of dawn came I was forced to chock out the poisoned words "I do. I wanted to spit at him as I said those cursed words. Call it female intuition and just good common sense, but I knew this was only the beginning of something far worse then a self-induced apocalypse that was going on around us."
"We're wedded by Shadi underneath the Heart. When it was obvious the world was about to end. As my first act as the new Queen, I flew to the Heart, to retrieve whatever salvageable fragment of the Heart I could get. I flew faster then all the Comet Stallions combined. When I was eye to eye with the Heart it gave one giant burst of light and the Oracle appeared,"
"The Oracle? I don't retain information very much on the Oracle, I'm afraid. On the other hand, I vaguely commit to memory you telling me the Oracle, is like the soul of the Heart. That she only appeared in time of great stress. To speak in our language to tell us something of important,"
He was surprised by this little bit of information. This wasn't part of the anecdote told to the inhabitants of the Xanadu City when they spoke of their origins. But he knew if his father lied about his mother's 'death' then he was capable of a lot more foul acts then Yami thought possible. He knew looking at his mom teal eyes; she wasn't lying about this experience.
'Yes. Prior to Xanadu falling, she materialized right in front of me. Of course all whom where going to live to tell the tale of the looming kismet heard her words as well. Yet I felt no I knew she was talking if truth be told to me. She spoke in her angelic voice "The Oracle of the Heart's Prophecy" That you can see was made into a commemorative inscription for my studio. She then handed me the Heart's heart. Placed my hands over it and put too the one in my chest. She kissed my forehead and hands and vanished,"
"I then gave the Heart to my new husband who put it in that cursed prison he flashes around is neck in such a boastful manner it's not funny. He had recently completed Ascending and used his new ostensible 'omnipotent' powers to encase all of the 150 survivors in a magical energy sphere, our lifeboat you could say. We took one last fleeting look as our world perished in blaze of blood-spattered inferno,"
"I've never heard anyone back home talk about what happened this way. I mean I know what passed, yet you're not afraid to tell the details that others seemed to be unable to voice. I've read war is repulsive but what happen from what you say, I feel as if I walked through something worse then death," he turned away for a moment to look at his hands in a funny manner.
"Yami?"
"When we where setting up things tonight, I saw first hand the evils we committed in the magnificent as well as breathtaking work you've completed. What we've done seems beyond atonement. Yet I've read and seen some of the evils of Earth and that Park I went to with Aziza and Yugi, I know evil is one choice to commit. However it still not easy to live knowing that you've the blood and dirt of others like you staining your hands and your soul. That is something no amount of showers will cleanse you of,"
"You've grown very wise, my little angel. You're sire along with many of the other Ascended didn't comprehend this simple fact Yami. Just because we'd by a hair's breadth escaped a ruined universe didn't mean the evil that eradicate it hadn't followed us. We'd just begun a very long trek, an odyssey all the way through a whole new universe that had just been born,"
"It was a very long and difficult time. Some of the people to escape the fallen Xanadu were merely children. Just young and saw the most horrible things ever imaged. I along with a few others attempted to comforter and help these young children. One I tried to help had seen something no little girl or any one should've to see. Her name was Oralee and she was just 3 years old. She was a lovely dancer whom possessed a very nice voice as I recall. She'd witness her own parents turn on each other and ripped the other's beating heart out so they could've have the other power," shaking her head for moment as she thought back to such a heartbreak for that sweet child unaware what that name was doing to her son.
For Yami this was a startlingly eye-opener. Oralee was Mana's biological mother who'd shunned her and abandons her. This left Mana to have a very atrocious childhood till Mahad and Isis saved her. Now it seemed to make a little but not a lot of sense if Mana 'mother' had seen something that horrible it would scar her for life.
"I was braiding her long chestnut tresses trying to help her through her trauma. I was just getting her too open up and speak for the first time since that horrible event. But then Aknamkanon grabbed me by the wrist hard and yanked me away,"
"What was that for, my husband? I'm trying to help the poor child. She's been through much and needs someone right now!"
"You're the Queen and as Queen you can't soil yourself with the problems of those beneath you! Beside her along with all the others of our kind need to toughed up! If we allow ourselves to be drag down by silly as well unnecessary emotions will be extinct! If she can't grow up and forget the past then she doesn't deserver to live forever! Beside as immortal who cares about the past anyway! It will be soon a forgotten memory!" he said as he tightens his grip on her.
"Let me go! I may be your wife but I'm still a person who does care about our people! How can you be so cruel to your own kind? It doesn't matter who or what you are, if you been through something very traumatic you've to talk about it or it will destroy you from within!"
"You call me cruel? I prefer to see it as kindness. I can't condole ever little brat! We must be strong and work together if we are to rebuild what we've lost. I plan one day to reclaim all that was lost. One beautiful perfect universe that will be ten times the one we lost was! And for that to happen we mustn't act like stupid little progenies! We must act like adult strong and able to withstand anything. We can't let things as petty as emotions get in the way of the perfect future."
"How do you live with yourself? You can no more force a child to be an adult then an adult ask to be a child. The world doesn't need to be sugarcoated but still children need to have some fun and just be kids with innocent for awhile! You cannot be this cruel! You're the King!"
"The weak are the ones that are cruel, my beautiful Samira. The strong like me have no need to be. You need to learn your place and fast if you're going to be the Queen of the Neo Xanadu. We're going to have to knock out this rubbish your idiotic parents brainwashed you with. You act like a mortal not an immortal that is what you are. Started acting like it!"
"You're no King you're a tyrant! When the Oracle Prophecy comes to pass, then you'll be the one scared,"
She felt it and was knock off her feet as he hit her with a blow that would've dislocated her jawbone.
"Do not tell lies. It's most unbecoming of a stunning sovereign. There was no Prophecy and the Oracle you saw was merely your imagination. Now let's go. We must find a new home for our kind,"
As she rubbed her jawbone which even now stung from time to time. She saw just how angry her son was. His magic was able to make him see her memories from these long ago events play before him as if he was watching a DVD. But he was about to be beyond mad when she reveal one of her darkest secrets.
"Yami, please don't start gnashing your teeth. I can tell you've started to Ascend. If this began when I suspect you've reached a week of tranquility which should end sometime tomorrow night. But don't encourage it to go back to chaos sooner then it needs too. Please don't lose it, my little angel. Please I beg you, Yami. Don't let it control you for what comes next will most definitely rip your heart out," she told him in pleading voice. You didn't need to Aziza acute hearing to hear how much angry was building up inside him.
Still even though he wanted do what he'd done when he first meet his Yugi he'd learned a bit of self-control and as an alternative materialized something they both could hit. An inflated dummy of Aknamkanon. If any aggression was coming and it most unquestionably was they smack the shit out of that dummy till they felt better. In view of the fact that it was magic it would repair itself when needed.
"I'm ready as I'll ever be. Please what happened next?" he said in a very tightly controlled voice. His body language screamed he was about to obliterated anything if this went south.
"We eventually after an unmeasured amount of time came to this solar system and encountered the Divine Beasts. As I'm sure by now you realize this world knows them as characters involved in a popular card game,"
"I do know Mother. I've my own deck. Yugi helped me build yet I still don't feel my heart is in it. At least not yet, but one day I will have a heart and it will be in this deck as Yugi's golden pure heart is in his," showing his mother the cards he picked out for the deck.
"You chose a Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl like Yugi?" she asked a bit surprise as she looked the deck her son had created over with a smile.
"I've many loyal and noble Divine Beast assembled within that deck and there is at least one creature connected in someway to those back in Xanadu of the people who do mean something too me," he explained as he put the cards back in the pack on his belt. "What I don't know is how this world has knowledge of them,"
"I believe long ago the Beasts lived along side the Human Race. They worked together in a peaceful and symbiotic partnership. They truly were aibous. But like with Xanadu the diseases of evil invade this world and then soon fear and pandemonium swept over this world. The Beasts left but only went a little bit away. They'd faith that one day the Human Race could redeem itself. Till then they had nothing to do. That is why they too fell into madness."
Sighing she gazed at the constellations above them and wrapped the other blanket she had brought around them till they where nice and cozy. They looked very cute cuddled together in the colorful blanket. He was leaning his head against her heart as she was stroking him soothingly. She had to continue this tale.
"Your sire was a good actor and he also knew a great opportunity when he saw one. Seeing how these Beasts where just as powerful in addition to make great allies furthermore they'd be a big help in making his 'beautiful dream' a reality. He pretended to be their savior, he act as if he was this magnificent guardian angel from the Heavens and he was the one whom show them the way to seventh heaven!"
"He played them like fools. They brought his lies because he was charming and knew the right words to say. Like all tyrants those two together are a deadly combination. He got them hook, line and sinker! He then tried to force our absurd way of life on these people. Before they realized they had willingly stepped in a trap with door locked up tight and the key was gone."
"I know that Mom,"
"There is something you don't know that no one knows. It was during this time as the Xanadu City was taking shape Aknamkanon said it was time to have a child. He needed an heir and he wanted him fast. For the reason that, Camille, was already with her child, her daughter the brain-dead Serafina. The universes most beautiful doormat! To think that bitch had the audacity to name her daughter after the highest ranking angel of the Heavens."
So that was where her name came from. The Seraphim. He'd been wondering that for while where her name came from. Names where an interesting topic from what they meant and all kinds of neat facts.
"Your sire came too me as I was brushing my hair one night. The moon was rising and I was saying the Prophecy. It had become sorta of my prayer. I knew he didn't like hearing it or anyone else say it but I did it for it gave me hope. I was just brushing the crimson part of my hair when he entered our chambers. I looked in the mirror and I didn't like the devil stare his beautiful colored eyes had. It sacred me to death,"
"My Lovely Angel, we need to talk."
"I know what you wish to talk about, Aknamkanon and I will repeat to you the same message till infinity ends. I won't bear you a child unless you can love them like a father and me as a wife. I refused to give you a child as if to be a tool for your unholy schemas," Samira said as she redid her tresses.
"You've a contractual obligation. As Xanadu's Queen, that goes that you're my wife and a woman as well. You role in life is to have children. Don't you wish to have a child?"
"Yes I want to be a mother. But I'm a person and I've a right to control of my body! I won't bring a child into the kind of world you desire to fashion. I won't raise a child in a world without love, hope, or any kind of freedom! I maybe forced to be your wife which you only see my attractiveness. But I'm not just a pretty face, Aknamkanon! I'm a person with mind and heart as well as a soul! All of which you lack!"
"You've spent too much time with those demented fools. I thought you were finally settling into your role of life,"
"I'm not a character in a story! My role in life is what I chose it too be. If you actually got too really know your people instead of seeing them as faceless subjects there be hope for this city! I hope the Prophecy comes soon because I don't know how much longer I can stand for this!"
He blasted her with magic blast right into a wall, but she got right back up and stared him in his eyes. She may love their color but she loathed that no soul was looking out of them,
"You'd rather be deaf along with blind as well as ignorant then acknowledge the truth of why Xanadu fell? The Oracle foretold that Prophecy so we'd save ourselves not so we'd condemn ourselves! But what can one expect? You won't learn from the past so no change can be made in the present that'd give us a future. Since you won't change I won't bear you a child. Even if I must remain eternally denied my dreams of happiness, I willingly chose that fate for the good of my people,"
Samira told him off firmly in a strong tone of voice and then went to walk away when grabbed her by her beautiful wings. He then slammed her into the wall and blasted her a bit till she passed out for moment. When she came too her sense he had bonded her too the bed and gagged her. The room had black candles lit and dark red roses everywhere with the most dreadful excuse for romantic music ever.
"I've tried asking nicely," was all he said before he did it. He beat her as he forced himself on her. It lasted for hours and she was unable to scream as he planted his seed in her body, stealing her virginity as he raped her. Finally morning came and he undid the magical binds. He then snapped his fingers and she was dressed in a ravishing dress.
"Come time to tell Xanadu they should be expecting a new King soon. It was a very nice experience a lot of fun. Maybe we should've another child if all goes well. Well come along." He told his stunned wife as he flew away.
Samira was now crying uncontrollably. She'd never told anyone that Yami her beloved son whom she loved more then breathe of life was in fact the result of King Aknamkanon rapping her. She didn't know whether to be ashamed or what.
This of course really pissed off Yami. He knew Aknamkanon was sick enough to lie about his mom but to rape her?! That's going too far! It took all his self-control not, to go off like an atom bomb! He was now the one comforting his mom not the other way around.
"Mom I don't know what to say… I…"
"Don't think that the manner in which you were conceived means I love you any less. If anything it made me love you more. I swore I won't let that son of bitch hurt you. When you were born I named you Yami while he branded you with Atem. It was then I realized the Prophecy was already beginning,"
"Uh?"
"Listen well to what I tell if you wish to save the world that fell. When a CHILD born of Dark and Light, Descends from the Heavens to the world of beauty and might. When a Child whom holds the purity of Mortals within his soul, saves thy child of the skies will the healing be on the rise. When two Hearts beat as one will their special song bring the light and the True Xanadu will be born anew"
"You are the Child from the first line. Yami means "Darkness" Atem is a sun god and the sun is "Light" I think you've unknowingly been fulfilling this Prophecy. But too answer how I wound up her and we got this 14 years of separation?"
"I was raising you best I could. I took many blows willingly to protect you. I wanted you too know love, fun, to feel true happiness so in hopes you could save us. You also healed me from all that was messed up in my life. But one day something happened that made me realize I need to get you out of Xanadu immediately."
"What happened?" he demanded furiously his amethyst eyes now blistering crimson.
"I'd put you down for your nap and left to go to the gardens. As you know Seto your cousin is about a year and half older then you. His mother your Aunt Aida was my best friend and we loved each other as if we were sisters. I knew she and Aknadin were having "problems" so I was concerned for her wellbeing as well as my nephew. What I learned that day I can't even bring myself to say. It's too gruesome for me to say. It's beggaring description. In next to no time all the inhabitants who were not in favor of the "Xanadu's Perfect Life" were forever silenced."
"Then the day after I told you why I called you "Yami" not "Atem" I formulate a very risky plan. I was giving you a bubble bath and your sire was away at the Starlight Tower. He must've been happy about something because I could see Earth for the first time. As I was drying you off, I made up my mind. I summon all of the Court with the exception of for Aknadin and Aknamkanon of course and begged them to help,"
"All of them eagerly agreed to help me in any way possible. I'd Mahad watch you and Isis keep me informed of my false husband whereabouts. The rest of the Court pitched in any manner that they could. I found wedges in the barrier and went to Earth. I was hoping I'd find some place where we'd be safe and free. It was on my first trip I met Samir,"
"He was still very devastated with the recent loss of his wife, Efra. Also the burden he felt having to raise his daughter Aziza by himself. He'd not slept in weeks and was not very well at all. He was giving a speech at the Domino City Public Library about the imporantience on not belittling the illiterate but to teach everyone how to read and right. Then somehow a fire broke out and we thought all had escaped but there was someone still inside. I was stunned he went back in to save the child. But the smoke soon overpowered him; he'd died if I hadn't saved him. He has a small burn scar on his left hand from the incident as a reminder,"
"He thanked me for saving me for he'd seen me with my wings. I'd explained I wasn't an angel of Heaven but an immortal seeking a sanctuary. He'd agreed to help. Over the next few months he helped in any manner he could and helped me realize the only way to truly escape Xanadu and Aknamkanon was too become mortal. We'd also realized we'd fallen in love. So when he'd asked me to become his wife I said yes. However I'd to get my son out first."
"I planed out every detail and thought everything that'd stop it. Or so I thought. That night I slipped you a powerful sleeping potion, which I'd Mahad concocted. It made you very sleepy quickly and I excused myself to put you too bed. Then I waited. Around the time of moonrise and all were either asleep or out of the palace I executed my plan."
"I wrapped you in the same blanket that had been made for me by my mother. Then I spirited away to one of the wedges. If I got both of us out successfully the rest would be able to escape as well. I'd even managed to nick the Heart from Aknamkanon early by giving him something to get his ya-yas out with. He'd seemed unaware he had a phony Heart and the real one was with me. Everything was going according to plan and we're almost out when I was stopped by the Blue Phoenix,"
"Aknadin."
"I was also attacked merciless by 16 different attacks at once. Then the second it died away a fury of black rose petals came. Standing before me was Aknamkanon. He looked far worse then any picture of Lucifer been. I held you tightly to my bosom refusing to give to the fear. Fear and Intimations were two of his allies and I won't let him trap me by them."
"Out for a midnight stroll, my beautiful angel? I do hope that is the case and that you wouldn't dare betray your husband and king in such a dishonorable manner. Come let's go back inside and put Prince Atem in his bed and we can enjoy ourselves in a natural hot spring," he spoke in a causal manner but his double edged eyes showed his more sinister motives all to clear for her.
Her teal eyes darted to all three of them. Her brother-in-law was on the left and her son's future mother-in-law was on the right with her false husband in front of her. When she saw Camille demonic amber eyes she knew instantly what had gone wrong. If there was anyone who could be more of tyrant it was this bitch.
"So Camille, I take being a metamorphic Immortal isn't the only rare talent you've got? I outta known you've invisibility as well! Not a very common curse I'll admit taking into consideration how hard it is to become visible!"
"You should be thanking her for keeping an eye on you. Now Samira let's go back inside and we'll cleanse you've all that poisoned your mind and we can finally have a happy marriage once more and wonderful family," Aknamkanon said as he advanced on her. But she spit at him stunning him and the others.
"NO! I won't be your concubine any longer! Just another one of billion souls you've ensured into slavery at this beautified prison camp! I won't let you use Yami! He won't be your tool to bring doom to this beautiful and innocent universe!"
"You're not well dear sister. We can help you. Now come let's go," Aknadin said in a voice that a crooked car salesman be envois of! Her respond was not only to spit at him as well but use every single vulgar word she knew.
"I see the truth now, you can't let me leave for it will inspire hope and that would lead to change. You would lose the thing you do treasure most power. But I also see fear in your soulless eyes! You know whether you say it out loud or not that the Prophecy is indeed coming true. If Yami fulfills it will be the end of you. So you want to 'cleanse' us so we no longer are a threat to your authority,"
"You'll pay for this act of treason. Treason to Xanadu the greatest society ever!"
"No Xanadu died eons ago. When we allowed ourselves to fall into insanity and it will happen again because of you. I rather be human then see that. I rather live as a human and perish knowing love, then continuing to live forever knowing misery!"
His eyes went wide as she went closer to her wedge that leads to freedom. "What are you saying?!" he said as she reached it was one step away from freedom of an entirety trapped in a loveless life.
"You know exactly what I'm saying, you basterd. I Samira will my…"
"Don't finish that sentence or you'll regret for the rest your life!" he threatened but regrettable for him she uttered the final two words. "Immortally Away,"
They all stood stunned as her wings that where exquisite mix of colors of the sunset melted elegantly from her body as they seemed to evaporate like water but only the water was also like light too. But just as the last of her wings were vanishing and she was about to fall to Earth something really bad happened for her.
He knew he'd lose his beautiful wife forever, yet he'd make her suffer even in her even her newly acquired death. He signaled with those eyes and both Aknadin and Camille struck her with powerful magical blast and she screamed. Now that she could truly feel pain she unintentionally lost some of her grip on her son but it was enough for Aknamkanon to use his powers to snatch him back along with the Heart that had been tucked away with him.
Samira first moment as a human which she had hoped to be of joy was now in sorrow. So as she tasted her blood from the wounds and cried in Samir arms she recited the Prophecy once more. She prayed and believed one day Aknamkanon would pay for his crimes and she'd be reunited with her son. Till that day come she'd do what she could too help her new world and help her new family and hope she been reward with her heart's wish.
"Shortly after that, I went to Efra grave to ask her permission to marry Samir and adopt Aziza and she appeared before me and said I had her permission as well as blessing. I then realized because I'd chosen on my own free will to become mortal, it wasn't forced, that I retained a small amount of my Divinity. This includes longevity there isn't a doubt that I will live to be a supercentenarian and very youthful looking one at that. I don't get sick very often and seemed to be immune still to the harsher aliments. I can still feel I've got magic inside of me but I'm saving it for a special occasion."
"That's my story, my son. Yami you've been in my mind everyday and the only thing I've come to regret is that I failed to get you out of Xanadu. I don't regret anything else. I do love you my son,"
Yami didn't speak for long time. He thought he be angry with her and have many other feelings. He had the latter of that but no he didn't feel angry with her nor did he hate. He now saw his mom in a new light. She was one of the few heroes left and she had been so willing to die to try and help people he couldn't hate her. He loved her even more.
As mother and son hugged he placed his palm on her face and transferred his memories to her so they could still embrace but she'd know what had come to pass. There were moments as this transfer was happening that made her smile.
She was smiling when she saw him with Shimon, how Mahad and the rest of the Court didn't like what was going on. Mahad and Isis were now married and had adopted Mana. How Seto wasn't his 'father' son. What'd come to pass since coming to Earth. How he'd cleverly managed to handle his Ascending. His growing feelings for Yugi and how he felt that instant bond with his then unknown sister, Aziza. She wasn't too happy he had gotten drunk but was happy how Aziza had saved her brother.
"I can tell you don't wish to go back, yet like me you worried about the rest of our people. You know we can't leave them trapped yet if you go back you'll be trapped once more too. Stripped of the ability to feel or think to be devoid of a true identity,"
"I swear Mother; I'll find a way to save Xanadu. Then once that is done I'm coming to stay with you here forever with my friends, sister and my Yugi,"
"Please remember this, Yami. Giving up one's immortally isn't as easy it may appear to be. It's the equivalent of asking a human to give up a kidney without the proper produced done first. Also it can only be done after one has Ascend or the magical backlash would obliterate the universe in the blink of an eye. It's not something you do on a whim. Also you know you can't stay with me until you've cleared Ascending,"
"I know. But I'm just so happy that your alive!" as they fell back into the other arms.
By this time the others had come back. They'd run into the gang and it spread like wildfire that Yami's mom was Aziza stepmother. They'd brought back a tub of rainbow sherbet and a DVD "Corpse Bride" While Yugi and Samira where talking with Solomon about what was going to happen, Yami went to see Aziza while her father set up the DVD player.
Aziza had gone too her room. Not sure what to expect or act he was a little nervous. He knew this had to be her room. The front door was covered in brightly covered fuzzy art posters along with a big blue wooden "A" between two autographic pro bowler's picture and a Sailor Moon poster. Swallowing hard he knocked.
'Yes? Yami?"
"May I come in, please? I'd like to talk before we watch the movie,"
"Give me a sec," after a few moments she opened the door and let him in. He didn't know how a blind person would decorate their room but what he saw showed him a lot more who Aziza was and that just because she couldn't see didn't stop her colorful personality from shining through.
The first thing you saw and you couldn't miss this because it took up half the floor where a massive amount of stuffed animals! Also every inch of wall space was covered in beautiful fantasy posters, fuzzy arts, and cool calendar pictures. She had a lot of wind chimes, sun catchers even the four windows above her room poster that where supposed to be of stain glass and the whole room was bathed in color. On the back of her door she hand an oval shape plaque with her name in a heart under angel along with a poster of Avril Levine and Tom Welling. She had collected an assortment of figurines as well.
He looked at he closets full of cool things as well and she had a lot of books. She also had her own computer so she was just a normal teenager. She was sitting on her Scooby-Doo comforter spinning a neon green kickball on fingers and was able to that on any of her fingers.
"Don't look so shocked, Yami. I'm just a normal teenage girl. I've got my own interests," she told him coyly as she continued to spin the ball.
"How you able to do that?" he asked memorized.
"Practice and talent," she said as threw the ball at him. "So you and Mom have a nice reunion. Honestly I didn't even know or suspect, Yami."
"It's ok, Aziza. Um so you're my sister?"
"And you're my brother?" as they both got very uncomfortable looks. It got way too quite so she broke the tension with an attempted to be funny.
"I guess we now know how Luke and Leia felt in "Return of the Jedi" how they can't look at one another the same ever again," as they laughed so she went on "I love that line when Leia tells Hans who thinks she dumping him for Luke "No it's not like that at all, he's my brother" I can't get enough of it!"
"Yeah, those where some of the best movies ever! I still don't like it that people repeatedly tarnish the greatest movie line every. The father line. But if you think about this it rather unique love is what made Anakin go to the Dark Side and yet it still saved him in the end. That's cool but what I still don't understand is this, you got space ships, light sabers and god knows what else but you can't tell a woman is having twins?"
"Yeah that didn't make much sense to me either. So um Yami what's you want from me?"
"I just don't know how to be a brother,"
"Yami nothing really has changed. We just now have a stronger bond. I don't care about the Vixens or Aknamkanon or anyone. I care about you and all our friends. I still think you owe Yugi the truth. But only when you're ready to tell him. I love you Yami, my brother.
"I love you, Aziza my sister," as they hugged. Then they went to watch the movie with the rest of the others. Samira had worked an arrangement out with Solomon. She told him that she couldn't tell him why but Yami couldn't move in until after his 18th year. So he agreed to let him continue to stay at the game shop and work but she check on him and help get things ready for when he'd move in.
That night as the silver moon was rising into the midnight blue skies, Samira quietly crept into the guest room where her son was sleeping. He looked like a sweet innocent child as did Yugi asleep next too him on the airbed. Still there was something she promised she do, if her prayer to be reunited with Yami was ever answer. She went over to him and picked up the 5'4 92lbs young man as if he were a babe.
She then cradles him to her breast and kissed his forehead and sat down in a rocker and began to sing to him.
"I'm in love with this song! My friend Arainaina did an amvs to Yugi and Atem to this song. Check it out its rocks!"
"I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow, and each road leads you where you want to go. And if you're face with the choice and you've to choice I hope you choose the one that means the most to you. And if one door opens to another door closed. I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window. If it's cold outside show the world the warmth of your smile but more then anything more then anything,
My wish for you is that this life becomes all that you want it to, your dreams stay big your worriers stay small. You never need to carry more then you can hold. And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to, I hope you know somebody loves and wants the same things too. Yeah this is my wish.
I hope you never look back but you never forget all the ones who love you and the place you left. I hope you always forgive and you never regret and you help somebody ever chance you get. Oh, you find God's grace in every mistake and always give more then you take, But more then anything more then anything,
My wish for you is that this life becomes all that you want it to, your dreams stay big and your worries stay small. You never need to carry more then you can hold. And while you're out there gettin' where you're getti' to. I hope you know somebody loves you and wants the same things too, yeah this is my wish.
My wish for you is that this life becomes all that you want it to, your dreams stay big and your worries stay small.

This is my wish I hope you know somebody loves you. May all your dreams, stay big,"
Kissing him one more time she went to bed but with a smile.
They spent the next day having a lot of fun. Breakfast at Bob Evans, going to the mall and both Yami and Yugi got their ears periced at Claries. All of them getting wicked cool sexy black leather jackets.
Having a picnic at the park. Yami and his mom knew that the couple on the lake in the rowboat where the newlywed Mahad and Isis and Seto was nearby watching from the chess tables while Mana was being pushed on a swing by Duke. Then everyone went to a new ice rink and Yami saw just how graceful him mother was. She put all the Olympic teams to shame. Yet she was modest and humble about her natural talent and didn't laugh as her son couldn't even stand up for two seconds.
Samira had chosen to go for dinner to a rather special place. Hooters. She liked how it was just so nice and everyone was having a good time. They waitress were black tonight but still very friendly and the music was great. TVs played various things and a few people had duels and one was on a scooter. The food was great as well and something rather cool, happened for Yami.
He told the beautiful waitress named "Becky" it was his first time. So she got the other entire hot waitress and had him stand on his seat and do "A little teapot" and he enjoyed it! They also gave the group free t-shirts.
They left in very high sprits and he was sad to say good bye to his mom even if she was only two blocks away. She was also given that phone number to reach the Court and they work something out.
That night Yami at midnight when his Ascending started up again made a decision. Using the major boost of power from his Ascending he pulled out a very particular selection of cards from his deck. He was standing on his tiptoes on Yugi's roof.
"I summon the power of Multiply. Come forth and aid me!" as he summon the card used to make countless Kuriboh appeared.
"I also call forth the powers of Polymrathions, Spellbinding Circle, Mirror Force, and Swords of Revealing Light!"
The ink on the cards came to life and now appeared before the determined prince. He was going to make sure no-one harmed his friends or family. Using the property of Polymrathions he fused the three Trap Cards together to make a new ultimate one.
This new card had the best quality of each and with the power of multiply he had more then enough. The power of the Spellbinding Circle would be able to imprison whatever he chose in an unbreakable circle but what'd be cut in half was the power of the attacker who'd the audacity and stupidly to try attack his friends or any location he chosen to shield. The full power of the failed attach would be bounced back at the attacker only two times as harder due to the Mirror Force. The Swords would not only strengthen but keep the spell in place for 90 days or 3 months.
He used just about all he had to cast this spell and nearly fell off the roof. Still he was pleased more so because he'd a gut feeling the Vixens had found him. But he happily stuck his tongue out at them when they very much mutilated themselves trying to attack him. He had also said a blessing he'd learned from Faith for good measure, after all every little bit helped. With one final look of triumphing he went to bed.
"Damn that cursed spawn! How could a fucking rabbit become a cunning fox?" demanded Oba as her tsunami failed to even make a dent.
"This can't be happening! The Vixens never fail and we've never been humiliated ever, especially not from a lowly male!" Pomona spat as she too failed to crush the newly intact spell.
"All is not lost sisters. He may of locked us out the dwellings of this putrid city and made it impossible for us to touch his cursed fleshy friends but he's left one door wide open and I suggest we take advantage of his carelessness,"
"What door do you speak of Shakti?" they asked as they followed her gazed to the slumbering prince window.
"He won't be sleeping so soundly in a little while. The door to his dreams is wide open and that leads to the soul. We'll still break him but by the time where done he'll be little more then a vegetable. Come we must prepare for the Darklight Ritual," as they vanished into the night.
