Disclaimer: I don't own Yugi-Oh or Inuyasha!
BTW: Many have asked about Mizuki. She is an OC that a friend of mine has let me borrow for this fic. All about her will be revealed later in the fic. Some here in this chapter.
AN: Fic is for DarkAngel048. My first Kag/Atem (a.k.a Yami Yugi) pairing. May I say, Wow! Thank you all for the reviews. Thank you all!
NEXT: To Otaku-ka-ren... that is correct.
Last Time: Mizuki nodded and they continued with their work. Atem watched her closely. The gods had duely informed him of her connection to them. She needed to know the secret and through her only would he reach his power and be whole and complete. He needed to have his memories and powers back.
Mizuki stared at the wall in front of her; trying to take in all of the information Atem and Kagome had just given her. What had she just opened herself up to? The bigger question was... why did she believe them? They sounded completely off their rockers. Well some of it sounded off the rocker. But then there were pieces that she felt that she already knew and that she knew it firsthand.
"Are you ok?" Kagome asked rather concerned.
"Oh yeah. I'm fine." she said lowly.
"You probably think we're crazy." Kagome said.
"I do but I believe you. It's hard to explain but I feel as if I know most of this already, that I had witnessed it first hand or something." Mizuki said and laid her head in her hands, "Now I sound crazy."
Kagome gave her a hard look, like she was looking inside of her. She got on her knees before her and brought her now glowing hands close to her.
"May I?" she asked.
"Go ahead." Mizuki said with a shrug.
Kagome had thought that was odd. The other reactions were atleast cautious or suspicious but with her it was calm, like she knew what it all was. She roamed her hands just above her form, reading her soul signature and found what she was looking for and a huge grin split her face.
"You are like me." Kagome said to her.
"A miko? Yeah, I am." Mizuki said.
"Not that. You are a reincarnated soul and not just any soul. You are the reincarnation of Priestess Isis; one of Atem's closest friends. That is why you feel as if you have witnessed some things first hand and yet never seen it before in your life. But there is something strange, it is like the soul isn't whole, like it is divided." Kagome informed her, quite enthusiastically.
"Ishizu Ishtar. She is the reincarnation of Isis. Unless..." Atem stated.
"Unless what?" Kagome asked.
"Unless, like it is similar to Yugi and I. He is a physical reincarnation and I was housed in his body. It may be that Ishizu is the physical reincarnation but the spirit left a small peice of itself in her and reincarnated the rest of itself into Mizuki." he said.
"I think you may be right. I am both for Kikyo." Kagome voiced.
For Mizuki most of it sounded ridiculous but when she heard Isis, she didn't know, something clicked. Like she recognized being called Isis, like it was a part of her. Maybe, Kagome was right.
"Ok, so I am some reincarnated Priestess Isis and was friends with you about... what? 2000 years ago or so? And according to your story I was also entrusted with a piece of the millennium items." she said and they nodded.
"Which piece? If I am this Isis person or even a peice of her I should be able to recognize the piece I was entrusted with, right?" she asked.
"Yes, you should. I entrusted Isis with the Millennium Necklace." Atem said and held out to her the necklace.
She gazed at the necklace. Taking in the shape of the design. The sleekness of the band and the beautiful gold color. She hovered her hand above it and then laid it upon the necklace. Just that simple touch changed her world. She saw flashing through her mind, pictures moving so fast that she could barely make them out. She could hear voices, several conversations going on at once. Followed by scenes of ancient battles with Duel Monsters, recieving the Millennium Necklace, entombing Atem, and images of a man that made her heart race. Then it all ended when she jerked her hand away.
Atem and Kagome looked at her as she stared at her hand as if it had been burned. Then she eyed the necklace wearily as if it was going to jump up and bite her. She wearily sat back and was quite. Kagome was the first to talk.
"What did you see?" she asked.
Mizuki shook her head. She was confused by what had just happened. All she wanted was to sort out what she had seen.
"You obviously saw something. Otherwise, why so silent?" Atem commented.
"I did see something. Memories that are not my own, or well, if you are correct my formers memories. Maybe. What I know from my training as a miko, I will have to deal with these memories on my own. Try to sort them." Mizuki said.
"I know. When I began recieving Kikyos' memories I had to deal with them on my own. But I will give you this advice, do not get the formers' feelings confused with your own. I did and it hurt me so much. Also sometimes they can be correct." Kagome advised her.
"Thank you. I'm just going to need time to think and sort them all. If I need any help I will ask. Ok?" Mizuki said.
"It's alright. We'll be here if you need us." Kagome said a little put out.
"I think you will need this." Atem voiced and handed her the Millennium Necklace.
"Why?" she asked not touching it.
"It may be of some assistance in sorting your past." he suggested and she took it.
Gingerly she held it and when nothing happened she relaxed and held it better. She wasn't ready for another episode of former life memories. Once a month would be grand for her but she had the feeling that it was going to occur almost every time she came in contact with the item. And she knew it was something she wouldn't be able to run from. It was one of those things once it started it wouldn't stop until it had run it's course, like heartache or a nasty cold.
"Ok, thanks. I will keep it safe. I... um..." she stuttered at the end.
Both Kagome and Atem could see that she was trying to look for a way out without being rude or hurtful. She wanted to be friends and what they had dropped on her was a lot but she needed some time.
"Ding, Dong, Ding, Dang, Ding, Dong, Ding, ..." the room clock chimed.
The relieved look in her told them that she had just found her exit. She jumped up and was frantically stuttering apologies about having to leave, that she had her first tutoring session in an hour and she needed to go. As gracefully as they could they said their good-byes and let her leave and Kagome hoped that they hadn't scared her too bad.
After her departure, Kagome turned sad eyes on him and gave a sad sigh. She hated it when circumstances didn't go as well as she would hope. She was hoping that Mizuki would calm down and speak to her again. Atem assured her that she would, all that was needed was time.
AN: Hey! Sorry about the lateness. I have had this one done for awhile but with the holidays and gift buying I had forgotten to post it. Give props to Speedykitten1643 for reminding me. You rock!
