Mokuba's First Love
Chapter 12: Takato's Curse
The next day, Amaterasu and Uzume went to school as planned. After school, however, they all went to Naomi's room; she was sitting on a throne built of rock. They all sat on comfortable chairs located around the room. Amaterasu and Uzume had conjured up their own chairs.
They were talking about nothing, when Mai suddenly piped up.
"Can you tell us more about this… curse?" She asked. Naomi blinked at the change of topic, but smiled and nodded.
"Of course." She said. "This curse is a love curse, as I'm sure you've already figured out. The only way to break a love curse is for the cursed person's true love to overcome the obstacles the curse is based on. There are two tests in this particular curse, but I'm not supposed to tell you what they are. You have to figure out what the test is and then solve it. It's pretty simple if you think about it."
Mokuba was scowling on his chair. "I hate tests." He said. Everyone laughed.
"So how do you know those other guys aren't your true love?" Anzu asked.
"Their love for me fades away over time." Naomi told her.
"I think we should leave. It's getting late." Yugi said, before Naomi nodded.
"Of course." She said, opening a portal. They all left, and the portal remained open as Amaterasu and Uzume looked at her.
"This must be so hard on you." Amaterasu murmured; rubbing Naomi's back in a soothing way. Uzume hugged her.
"I hope he's the one. I hate seeing you committing suicide year after year." Uzume said. Naomi hung her head.
"Don't worry. I'm sure his rage will be overcome by his love for you." Amaterasu assured.
"It'll be hard, depending on the way Takato kisses you this time." Uzume commented. Naomi nodded silently.
"Just as long as you guys don't tell." Naomi said, raising her head to look at the portal. Anzu, Shizuka, and Mai walked out guiltily.
"Sorry we eavesdropped, but we forgot our backpacks." Naomi shook her head.
"That's okay. If you'll excuse me." Naomi said, standing up and walking into another portal. Amaterasu and Uzume sighed.
"Her inner heart. The most sacred part of any creature." Amaterasu said.
"Remember guys, lips sealed." Uzume told them as they each nodded and walked back into the portal they came from.
The Goddess' heard the sobbing from within, and watched as the first portal faded away. Then they stepped into the second, and that closed soon after as well.
