Chapter 7

Spiraling into the Past

A/N: Hey you guys! Thank you soooo much to Magical Defenstration and Miss LaaDeeDaa for your reviews and amazing ideas. Thanks to you guys I've now got the whole plot planned out and a really cute story written out in my head for you. Thanks so much and I hope you enjoy the chapter. This one was really hard to write cause I don't really know how it fits in. Everything else will come to me naturally. Its just that this chapter was kinda hard to write so I'm sorry if it came out bad.

Mina's P.O.V

This

Is

Not

Happening.

I'm stuck here? With HIM!!! No way in hell!

"Will you move!" great… he's talking to me.

"No I will not you great oaf! How do we know where we are and how we're going to get back. This could be a trap for all we know."

"You're calling me an oaf? Do you even know what an oaf is? Wheeler is an oaf. An oaf is a person with no class, no style, no-"

"And you're saying you've got style? And class? Wow, you are so humble I think I'm going to fall on my knees." Kaiba is the most obnoxious, stupid, pathetic, annoying person I have EVER met. Bloody hell, talk about self obsessed.

"Shut up, bitch." HE DID NOT!!!

"Bastard."

"Slut!" ARGH!!!

"Dick-head"

"Whore."

"Ass-hole. I've got plenty more if you want to know. I've grown up with Joey and my brother. You can't beat me. Just see if you can."

"You are the most competitive person I have ever met!" he sighed and walked up the hill.

I looked at him for a minute. Is it me or did he just give up and let me win?

"Get lost Kaiba! I can survive on my own out here."

"Yeah and pigs fly."

"Shut up asshole."

"Shut up yourself bitch.

"Dickhead."

"Slut."

"Bastard."

"Wh- Forget it. I'm not doing this again"

"Yer, that's cause you know you can't beat me."

"God woman! Do you have to be so god damned stubborn. Fine. Go by yourself then. Lets see if you make it past that boulder over there without me saving you!."

Stupid male with his stupid challenges. And his stupid hotness. Why!!!! WHY must he be so damned hot! If he wasn't, I could totally loathe him without feeling anything. But no… he has to be the type who's a bad boy as well as totally hot… Why do I always fall for the dickhead. Wait did I say fall? I'm not falling. I refuse, I refuse completely. Eh Gad! I think my brain is making up illusions where I like Seto Kaiba who was won the World's Most Obnoxious three times in a row. RUN!!!! THE WORLD IS FALLING APART!!!

Normal POV

Mina looked at the male in front of her and sniffed. She got up, dusted her clothes off, grabbed her pack and walked to the boulder. She placed her hands on the boulder and stuck her tongue out at Kaiba.

"See you didn't save me. You didn't even move. I don't need saving. I'm just going to bring out one of my winged monsters and then fly them over with a message to Yugi and the others."

"Please. What are they going to do?" Kaiba rolled his eyes and walked over next to her and leant against the boulder. "It looks like we're not even remotely close to where they last were and it might take three days to get a messenger there."

"Well, do you want to tell you're brother that you're safe and not to worry about you or not? I actually thought you were a responsible brother. I guess I was wrong."

"Why you - " Kaiba began when a cry came out from the distance.

"What was that?!" Mina jumped edging a little closer to Kaiba before realizing what she was doing and stepping away.

" I don't know." Came the curt reply. Kaiba looked around wearily and drew out his swords and motioned for Mina to do the same. She drew her knives (A/N which by the way is called a Sai. Well two knives are called Sais and I'm gonna call them Sais from now on k?) and jumped them wearily in her hands.

"You know Kaiba, they sounded an awful lot like war cries."

"What the hell do you mean?"

"Well, I'm studying history in uni and we were watching this video about - "

"Get to the point Moto."

"I was going to if you hadn't interrupted. Anyway, we watched a video about ancient natives on some islands and a lot of them before they hunted or fought sorta had this thing where they would yell out insanely. It sounded a lot like that."

"Ok Moto. One problem. We're not in ancient times!"

"I know that Kaiba! I'm just giving an idea."

"Well don't. I'm trying to think."

"Asshole." Mina muttered under her breath before whipping round.

"What?" Kaiba asked noticing her abrupt movement.

"I heard a rustling in those bushes."

Another rustling was heard except on the other side. Kaiba whipped round and took a step back. Mina and Kaiba stood back to back, holding out their weapons. Kaiba turned his head back to see if Mina was ok and saw her smacking her forehead and heard her mutter 'duh.' Mina flipped her Sais back into her belts and spun a card in her hand. She scanned it in front of her ankh dragon's eyes and the card began to glow. A second later Fallen Angel appeared. She waved at Mina and winked at Kaiba. Kaiba was about to call out Blue Eyes when a blood-curling cry was heard right next to them and suddenly a horde of men came running out from either side of the two. The men were all but naked except for the brown loin clothes that covered their groins. Each carried a weapon which were primitively made. Most carried spears and some carried blow pipes. Mina looked around and drew her Sais knowing there was really no point. 'Why do I get myself into these situations.' The men came running towards them blocking them from escaping and were about to attack when a man spotted the shiny glowing 8 foot angel that was spinning her swords about ruthlessly, waiting for a fight. He yelled out a harsh word and the men all around him gasped and muttered incomprehensible words. They fell to the ground gasping. Mina and Kaiba looked at each other confused. Fallen Angel landed on the ground and walked over to Mina. Mina looked up at her and raised an eyebrow.

"Don't look at me. I have no idea what's happening." Fallen Angel shook her head obviously as confused as the two.

A man shuffled forward and mumbled something. Mina leant forward and looked at the man.

"We cannot understand you." She said slowly as if expecting them to understand her if she spoke slower. Kaiba rolled his eyes but stopped when he heard the man speak in English.

"I am sorry we have tried to hurt you Friend of the Dark Star." The man mumbled still groveling on the ground in front of the highly uncomfortable Fallen Angel.

"Friend of the Dark Star?" Kaiba asked plainly confused. He looked at Mina who shrugged her shoulders.

"Come with us. My name is Ahanu."

Mina's eyes opened wide in shock as Ahanu and the group of hunters took Kaiba, Fallen Angel and herself to their village. As they passed the huts, people stared out at them, ogling at their attire and mumbling in wonder at her ankh on her arm. A woman stood outside a hut, weaving a carpet on a large loom with her two small children running around her ankles. The woman wore almost nothing as well except for the woolen breast band around her bust and the loin cloth. Her children were no different. They were playing some sort of game with each other using bright coloured branches as poles. Next to the hut, there was a large cart loaded with hay, fruit and other food from around the forest. A mule stood next to it, slowly chomping on a bale of straw.

"We are defiantly not in the year 2007 anymore." Mina murmured softly.

Kaiba heard her and looked at her. "Unless of course, this is another trick of Credo's."

"I really hope so. I don't feel like going back into time again." Mina walked off slowly, following Ahanu.

Kaiba looked at her for a second and had half a mind to comfort her but decided against it. The girl; no. The woman in front of him was like nobody he had ever met. No matter how many times he saw her, she never failed to surprise him. She was taking the change of scenery and time very calmly. Maybe it was because of all the adventures that Yugi and her went on but still. It's a very hard thing to deal with. And she was tough. She could take on a pack of Silver Fangs and not get a scratch on her as well as she was a great duelist. Not that he would say any of this to her face. "I'd rather suffer ten thousand nights with Wheeler than tell her what I just thought."

"Here we are." Ahanu announced.

Mina looked round the large chamber they were in and gaped in awe. Fallen Angel followed and her jaw dropped to the ground. Kaiba had about the same reaction but showed it in a much more elegant way. A raised eyebrow. There on the large chamber walls were carved drawings of Fallen Angel. On the wall directly in front of them, there was a large life-like carving of her holding her two swords across her body. Her eyes were open and staring at all that entered the chamber and her majestic eight wings had every feather etched into it. The wings unfurled out into a black throne around her body. The other two walls around them depicted Fallen Angel fighting in a great battle and protecting a group of people and on the other side, Fallen Angel rising from the grounds of the earth with a light coming from the sky above. Carved into the floor was some sort of writing telling a story of some sort. Along the edges, offerings of wealth, food and sacrifices were lined up. On the ceiling was the face of Fallen Angel.

"This is the Dark Star. The one whom we worship and love." Ahanu flourished his hand at Fallen Angel who had apparently gotten over her shock and had flown over to further inspect the carvings. "She is the one who we pray to and look to for guidance."

"Oh yeah! These people sure have their priorities right!" Fallen Angel strutted around the room and picked up one of the jewels that was lying on the ground.

Mina knelt down and touched the writing carved onto the ground. "What does this say?"

"This is the story of how we think the Dark Star came to being. In short, it says that she fell from the sky and delved into the deepest part of the earth until she came to Hell. There she spent half of her life, devoting her time into finding and experiencing first hand the evil that has been coming from Hell. Then she came up into earth with the experience of what happens and what to do. She came back to save us from our deaths." Ahanu clasped his hands together reverently.

Mina looked a bit faint. "Ahanu? Would any of your people know what year this is?"

"I am not sure what you mean by year but this is the thousandth and twentieth spring time we have had since the death of the Prophet."

"Holy Shit!" Kaiba burst out with his first two words he had spoken in a long time.

"What?"

"The Prophet, I'm going to assume is something like Jesus so that means that this would be the year 1020."

"ARE YOU INSANE?! NO WAY!"

Kaiba sighed. "Yes, I'm quite sure. Now, Ahanu. Would it be possible if we were able to stay here for a few days?"

"Yes of course. Anything for the friends of the Dark Star." Ahanu called for someone in his language and in about ten minutes, a child was leading them down a dusty pathway towards a hut in the middle of town.

When the two entered the hut, there was one bed and a hammock. Basically that was all there was to the house. Kaiba looked around while Mina put their bags down and sent Fallen Angel back into her card. He found that there was no bathroom, only a hole dug into the ground several metres away. When he returned to the room, he found that Mina was sound asleep on the bed, leaving him to sleep in the hammock.

"This is going to be the worst days of my life." He groaned before lying back in the hammock to watch the slow sunset of the island.
