A Past Love Returns

Disclaimer - None of it's mine! Or is it….checks papers of ownership to see they say something about how it IS NOT the property of Ven Valerius and it IS the property of JK and whoever really . Okay, so maybe it isn't mine… but some of the plot is.

Standard AN : This is where the actual slash comes in. I apologize if I have disappointed anyone for how the last one ended. But this isn't ten years later….more like 15 I liked the character of Alex O'Connell but didn't like the third Mummy Movie - Hands up…. who liked it? Anyway, Harry is officially Immortal. So when Imhotep was reincarnated, the Gods gave his reincarnation the immortality.

Personal AN:

Chapter 8

They rode in the dirigible south from Cairo and the Great Pyramids as the sun set on the second day of Alex wearing the bracelet of Anubis. They stopped briefly in Karnak, even though Alex had already had the vision when they'd gone to his house after the teen foolishly put the bracelet on.

They spent a few minutes there, gathering a few supplies while Izzy walked around Harry's house, seeing all of the gold but knew that he'd get caught in a heartbeat.

They went to Philae. Rick, Jon, Isaac and Ramses stayed near the balloon while Evy and Lily went to restore their water supplies while Haru and Alex walked around the island trying to coax a vision from the bracelet.

They were grabbed.

'ISAAC!' he mentally screamed before everything went black.

They'd been ambushed and the men came running as soon as Isaac shouted "Haru!"

In the end, that one name saved his life. Being called Haru led Anck-su-namun to believe that he had been reincarnated by Imhotep when the bewitched priest had done the spell. After all, it called for an eternal lover to return from the underworld and Haru was more Imhotep's love than she was.

Harry, or rather Haru, came to on the back of a camel. His hands were bound to the saddle horn in front of him and on another camel beside him was Alex - who was already awake. They were in the back of the line, Imhotep, Anck-su-namun were in the front as were the chances of them being discovered to be awake were less. He urged the camel to go to the side of Alex's.

"Alex." he whispered.

"Har-"

"SHH! They must not know that I am a reincarnation. I believe that is the only reason I am alive. Imhotep will not kill someone he thinks to be immortal."

"But you are."

"I know. They must think that I am Haru and in order to do that, you will be the translator."

Alex looked a little unsure but nodded anyway. "Ok."

They stopped several hours later and Haru lept gracefully off of the camel's back. Standing tall and proud until he saw Imhotep.

"You!" he snarled as he stalked towards Imhotep only to be stopped by Lok-na. "What have you done! Blasphemer!"

Alex just stood there; it was quite obvious that Harry had planned this so he wasn't going to bother translating.

"What have I done? Nothing. It was your family that cursed me." Imhotep answered.

"Nothing more than you deserved. Killing me? Killing my father? Attempting to destroy the very heart of Egypt?" he demanded as he glared at Imhotep. "My brother told me that you attempted to raise your little bitch from the Underworld before he finally caught you in Hamunaptra. That they buried you at the base of Anubis for your treachery. Nothing more than you deserved!"

Anck-su-namun glared at him. "We are in love!"

"Love? HAH! You know nothing of love. You stole his love. He gave it me freely!" he snarled at her and she stalked over to him and slapped him, hard.

Haru glared at her and broke from Lok-na's grasp. "You little BITCH! I should have killed you when I had the chance!" he snarled and hit her with his bound hands.

Imhotep finally stepping in so he could pick her up from the ground. "I have no love for you, foolish Prince. Not now and not ever!"

Haru growled and then spit at Imhotep's feet. "You… I should have killed you like I did with my father's last High Priest! You aren't even worth the flesh that holds to your bones!"

Imhotep glared at him and threw him back into a few of the men wearing the red uniforms.

Alex walked over to him, "Are you alright?"

Haru nodded curtly and stood up as though he hadn't been harmed. "I am well, little one."

"Are you sure? I think I could get us some water?"

"That would be amenable. My thanks."

Alex smiled and went to get some water from one of the men - who only gave it to the bound boy because they were scared that the child would rat them out to Lok-na who was told to watch over the boy until they got to Ahm Shere.

'You said that you were thirsty." Alex said as he gave the canteen of water to Haru.

Haru nodded curtly, "That I am, young one. My thanks." he said before he took a couple of small sips of the water, just enough to tide him over. He knew the power of Ra and the grace of Isis and Osiris - he would not take either for granted.

They traveled on their own for several more days, every time they stopped Haru made sure to leave a special present for Isaac and Ramses that only they, with their past memories, would be able to unlock.

For his part, Alex was not so subtle but that was all part of the plan.

They had to allow Imhotep and Ancksunamun to think that Haru and Alex had no idea that Alex's "subtle" hints were known and were being followed.

It was all part of the plan.

For his part, Haru left messages - long ones - to Ramses and Isaac. Telling them of Imhotep's behavior as well as Ancksunamun's.

Haru wasn't about to admit it but he wanted nothing more than to hold his lover in a warm embrace. To see his brother that he had not known of, one more time.

But they were getting closer.

ISAAC'S POV

Aboard the derigible, Isaac and Ramses were quickly becoming frustrated with their lack of progress. They knew that Ardeth wanted nothing more than to fulfill his sacred duty to Egypt and that to do so they had to find Ahm Shere.

"I still say we need to let Remus and Sirius in on this. They are Harry's uncles. They would to know. They would want to help." Isaac beseeched Ramses as they stood at the bow of the ship.

"And what will they be able to do that we are not doing?" Ramses demanded. "No, we find my brother first and my nephew. THEN, we tell them of what happened in the past - where it can no longer harm anyone."

Isaac scoffed at that, "Yeah, keep telling yourself that. Harry's uncles are going to find out. Just a matter of time and then YOU, my good prince, can tell them that YOU did not want to harm THEM."

Ardeth walked over to them, "Harry is smart. He will not allow harm to occur on himself or Alex."

Ramses looked down at the Nile below them, "We are still in the Lower Kingdom, Ahm Shere is in the Upper Kingdom. That much I do know."

"Why were people after this oasis anyway?" Lily asked. "Seems to me that you'd want to stay away."

"Most would agree with you, young one." Ramses acknowledged. "However, control of the army of Anubis has tempted many. My second namesake, Ceasar, Napoleon… others tried and failed…. All in pursuit of an unstoppable army."

"So… Ahm Shere."
