Yami just stared, he should be scared…right?
Then…why isn't he running? Screaming? Doing SOMETHING?!
Is it because…their right?
''w-what ARE you?'' Yami asked after he got his voice back.
Shadows, were shadows. Shadows, shadows! We are shadows. And you are Yami.
''how do you?'' Yami began to ask but was cut off by the 'shadows.'
We know you because we watch you.
Yami just stared…he opened his mouth to speak but this time it was cut off by his father calling him.
''I'm coming father'' Yami yelled back and turned to say what he was going to say to the shadows.
But they were gone.
''what?…was it all…fake?'' as Yami was walking with his father, he couldn't help but feel as though someone or something was watching him.
------------------------------------------------
A boy sat alone at a river bank, he stared into the water with a frown on his face. Once again you couldn't see his face…the young boy sighed and held his legs closer to himself . ''I know your out there! I can sense you.'' the boy spoke to no one in particular
No one spoke, but the boy didn't mind.
Pain…
'the boy stiffened. ''what?'' he asked and sat up, turning around.
Pain, we sense pain. Lots of pain. Pain, pain, it surrounds you. ~Aura, aura! you have a black aura. Innocent one with black aura~
The boy stared into the black of the night with a strange face, he was confused but decided against talking back.
Just then, the boy felt something holding him, like gentle arms. He looked down and saw black swirls around his body. At first he stiffened but then relaxed, honestly…he didn't care what they were doing, it soothed him.
Your not scared?
''should I be?'' the boy asked
No
''Good…because I'm not…your eyes…they tell me you wont hurt me…'' he smiled.
The shadows didn't move, they were probably shocked
''besides, if you wanted to. You could of harmed me when I was sitting with my back turned.''
all they do is torment you, every day they break you more, they think that what they do is saving you but really all it is, is staining you.
*gasp* the boy looked around him and saw, that right next to his face. Was a shadowy head with red eyes, and black ghost like fangs staring right back at him with a smile on its face.
''what do you want with me?'' the boy asked confused
You intrigue us…DIFFERENT, DIFFERENT, YOUR DIFFERENT FROM MORTALS, you do not seem like your human, too kind too kind. No greed, nor need for power.
The shadows themselves got closer to the boys ear and began to whisper.
All you need is understanding, all you want is to be normal.
''You know too much…'' the boy said, then turned with a smile
''so what, your trying to say you understand me?'' the boy said with a smile.
… all the shadows did was hold the boy tighter
''well…I believe you''
'we won't hurt you…not like those HUMANS. No pain, no pain, no pain from us, we want smile. A SMILE A SMILE , we want a smile on your face. We want to know more about this mortal. Why are you so different, you can't, you can't. cannot be human.
'' oh but I am…I am human…haha''
Then the boy looked up to the sky with a smile on his face.
''isn't it amazing…how people say my life is perfect, I have everything that they ever wanted. How I got what they want…when really I don't want any of IT. All I want…is to be…LEFT…ALONE…I have everything…yet I'm the one to be dying. isn't it funny shadows?
They stared…all they COULD do is stare…
''PRINCE! PRINCE WHERE ARE YOU?!''
The boy looked up at where the voices called. ''uh oh..im in trouble now…I'm not allowed out of the palace.'' the boy got up and ran back to the Palace before he got in even more trouble. And still…the shadows stared, with an evil grin on their face.
Him! Him! He's the one, he's the one that we want! Different! Different! He's different from all of them!
-----------------
A boy woke up with a shock. 'that voice…their the ones I saw at the river! So…their from HIS life…right?'
*sigh* ''this is giving me a headache…'' Yami got up and decided it's best not to think about it right now.
----
''Look at this Yami my boy. These are tablets that were used for battle back in ancient Egypt.''
Yami nodded as he continues to walk in the museum, his father wanted him to see some of the findings he helped out with back in the days.
As he was walking though, he saw something that caught his eye.
''your…'' Yami whispered as he walked toward the tablet and slowly put his hand on it. ''the…Dark magician…''
----FLASH BACK----
A young Yami around eight years old was walking next to his father in the same museum. He was looking at all the items not really listening to what his father was talking about to the other man.
that's when he saw the tablet with a man holding a staff. Little Yami walked over and stared wide eyed at him.
''do you like?'' his father asked.
Yami could only nod as he stared at the tablet.
''You know, that's interesting, any reason why your intrigued by him more than the others?'' his father asked with a big smile on his face.
Yami thought about it and came up with an answer. ''I…don't know…I just have this feeling…''
Yami's dad grinned. ''you know…the ancient you…was very close to him, do you want me to tell you his name?''
Yami shook his head, ''NO! I'll translate it!''
It took a week but Yami was able to finally translate the hieroglyphics and find out, the name was ''Dark magician''
''very good Yami…your absolutely correct''
----end of flashback----
Yami smiled at the memory, that was his first hieroglyphic reading EVER.
He always got this warm feeling when he saw the dark magician, but he didn't know why. He tries to keep away from thinking of this 'pharaoh Yami'.
He wants to think this is his OWN life. And when he was around the dark magician, he can think like that clearly.
Yami pulled out a gold rectangle pendant with a circle of blue sapphires on the inside, and in the middle of the circle of sapphires is a beautiful red ruby…the exact color of his eyes. He opened it up, and there inside it was the dark magician game card on the right side, and on the left was a smooth part of the tablet in it.
'hahaha I remember the look on my fathers face when I told him I took a tiny part of the tablet and smoothed it out so it wont damage the card. I said ''I wanted the dark magician to have a piece of his time with him, so he will feel more at home'' I just felt like I had to. This is the only thing I'm grateful for from my father. He gave me this card saying how 'he felt like I was meant to have it' since I loved the dark magician in the past.
People may think I'm strange since I TALK to the card. But…I feel like…its actually listening. He's my best friend. He's not like everyone else…lies, pain, and betrayal…that's how all kids are nowadays here. But that's probably because its ME.' Yami sighed and smiled at the tablet.
''well I gotta go, see ya. I'll talk to you when I get home Dark magician''
Yami turned away, gave one last glance at the dark magician before he ran off to catch up with his father.
What he didn't see was, the purple glow in the dark magicians eyes that only lasted for a second.
-----
The young boy was walking through a room at night. It was filled with many tablets.
''Young prince! What are you doing in here so LATE?'' a young man asked worriedly.
''huh? Oh…just looking around, it's seems that I cannot sleep.'' Yami said. 'I hate speaking like this, I feel like a retard!'
''Oh well it will be best if you return to your room my prince, after all we don't need the pharaoh knowing.'' the young man spoke. He hates the many fights that the prince and pharaoh always end up in, they make the pharaoh more angry and stern, while they the prince even MORE rebellious!
''I will…soon, hm?'' the prince was caught by surprise by a tablet that seems to be hidden in the far back of the room.''what is it prince? AH! Prince what ARE you thinking if I may ask?!''
''well…you already did ask'' the prince replies
''Prince…you know what I meant…now please tell me why you are going over to THE DARK MAGICIAN?!'' the man seem to of began to panic which amused the prince and also grew his curiosity.
''The dark magician is his name?'' the prince asked.
''you do not know about the DARK MAGICIAN my prince?!''
''no I do not it so seems, you see my father said I will not need to know about summoning so he had my teacher tell me once how to summon but that was three years ago and I was never told about the tablets you summon, only how to use them. but that itself is very blurry. Do tell about this Dark magician, I'm curious…'' the prince replied calmly.
''um…well…he was the most how you say…HATEFUL, he's extremely rebellious, when you summon him he will not obey. Many times it's been reported that he attacks the one who summons him, or he will cause damage to the surroundings. He will not protect or do anything for his summoners. He hates everyone and will show it to his full power. No one summons him anymore…it's too dangerous and far too risky'' the man replied with a bit of fear in his voice.
''I see…thank you, you may go. I will leave soon''
''of course my prince.'' the young man walked away, and once he was out of site and earshot the prince walked over to the tablet of the dark magician. He pressed his hand on the tablet very gently. Slowly he released his energy and concentrated, 'hopefully I'm doing this right…' the prince thought. Then after awhile he was able to summoned the dark magician out of his resting place.
There he stood, the dark magician.
The dark magician looked around very carefully, then he turned and looked into the prince's eyes. that's when you, yourself was able to see them. Crimson red rubies…the color of blood.
''hi…dark magician right?'' the prince asked calmly
The dark magician just raised an eyebrow in confusion and annoyance. The prince could tell by looking in his eyes he was not happy.
''well I summoned you…so go do whatever you want, I'm going to sleep goodnight.'' with that said the prince walked past the dark magician and went to the door to close it, with one last glance he saw the shock and confusion in the dark magicians eyes. ''hey…not both of us need to be chained to this place'' the prince replied. then he gently shut the door and went back to his room to sleep. 'not both of us…have to be a caged bird…'
----------
Slowly crimson eyes opened, Yami sat up in bed and opened the pendant to look at the dark magician. ''that was the first time…I saw….YOU in those memories…'' Yami spoke to the card. But what he didn't know was unbeknownst to him. It wasn't just a card, there In his room stood the spirit of the dark magician, invisible to everyone. He was watching and listening to Yami's every word.
Then when Yami got up to get ready for the day, the dark magician took it to his advantage and sent his spirit to go in the card that Yami wears.
