Chapter 8: The Pharaoh Returns
"Yugi" I said breathlessly, what was he doing here? Was I dreaming? I have to be, Yugi is in ancient Egypt, he is ruling his kingdom, no he is not here, and yet here he is. I wanted to scream but my fear of Kaiba waking scared me.
"Hanon is that you, you've changed so much, but your beauty shines brighter than the sun" he said and ran to give me a hug, I hugged him back, I had to. It was Yugi the man I had loved almost my whole life. He had taught me love and trusts others, before I didn't know any of those things, which was part of the reason I was how I was.
"Yugi, how on earth did you return, you and Bakura were bond inside the tomb using the seven millennium items, and they were then buried underneath all the rocks after your tomb collapsed, I saw it there is no possible way you could be here" I told him, He stared deep into my eyes, and gave me that cute bad-boy smile that had melted my heart for years.
'Yes, but as you can see I have my millennium puzzle with me, and the millennium ring is already missing so my guess is someone had reopened the seal, releasing Bakura, I was able to return and I knew I would find you here" he and pressed his lips against mine. It was so delicious and rich. I had missed kissing Yugi, he was so handsome and strong and brave. Then I remembered that Inuyasha was standing there watching us, crap! Just when Inuyasha and I finally made up this happens; he probably hates me right now.
"Yugi, I don't understand you mean Bakura is out and he is still going to try and collect all the seven items to regain his power isn't he?" I asked, trying to ignore than hurt face Inuyasha was giving me.
"I don't understand what's going on, but it's clear to me that you guys need some alone time" said Inuyasha angrily.
"Inuyasha wait" I pleaded, he ignored me and kept walking.
"Listen when your done you know where to find me so just…" he drifted, and left leaving me alone with Yugi, the man I thought was dead and sealed away with an ancient evil for so many years. I stared at my feet not wanting to look at him, I hurt Inuyasha so badly, and Yugi and I were over weren't we?
"Hanon, until the day I reach eternal sleep that smiling face will have to stay with me without fail" he said, reciting from a poem I had forgotten the name of, but I didn't forget the last time he said it to me. It was the day when Yugi lost against little Yugi and was allowed to go back home. The words told me that he would never forget me and I believed in him. I smiled up at him; he clasped my hand and kissed it gently, his kisses slowly rising up and until he reached my lips. I loved him touching me, I didn't know why but I did, he made feel good and I couldn't resist but to groan a little (mostly because of my cat instincts now) he slid his hands down my back and slowly rubbing against it, there we were, reunited and making out like hell. What the heck was wrong with me? Instead of pushing away I kept going, I let him lay me on my bed in my bedroom as he 'got to know' each other, man was I turning into a slut. We shared more kissed as he slowly slid of his jacket that he had been wearing. He was now showing those muscles of his which made him look even sexier. I groaned as he kissed my neck, then he stopped. I looked over at him; his eyes were so sad and angry.
"I'm sorry; I just missed you so much I just got carried away" he said and looked away from me, I sighed, I had gotten carried away to. I mean I was about to have do it with the guy when I was in love with… ahhh! Who was I in love with, Inuyasha? Sesshomaru? Yugi? Who? Truth is told I had no idea who, they were all so charming. Inuyasha could really be a jerk but he was really kind and sweet, Sesshomaru may be a blood-thirsty killer but him to have a warm heart, at least when Rin and I are around. And Yugi, well where to begin, he had been in my life for so long, he cute, brave, and he looked totally hot when he was protecting me, actually they all looked hot when they were trying to protect me.
"It's okay I got carried away to, look I really want to stay but I have to go somewhere before Kaiba wakes up" I told him, I wanted to set things straight with Inuyasha, I didn't want to lose him and I was really starting to miss him.
"Where to?" asked Yugi putting his jacket back on, I noticed the duel disk he placed on his left arm, and placed his deck in the duel disk.
"To…uh… Inuyasha's" I told him, he stared at me; his eyes were filled with confusion and a hint of jealously.
"That one guy with the uh- dog ears?" he asked, his expression not changing.
"Yes, I promised him I would go over and…" I stopped when I realized what I was saying did not sound right at all.
"Hanon I don't like that guy and I think it's best you stay away from him" he said, what the hell was he saying? He didn't even know Inuyasha.
"What, Inuyasha is a good guy, he'd never hurt me, since when did you become so jealous?" I asked him trying to make it sound playful, but it had really ticked me off.
"That wasn't a joking matter, I mean it stay away from him!" he yelled, and now I didn't care if Kaiba woke up, Yugi was acting different. This time I replied back to him with the same bored voice I had used with Inuyasha.
"He. Is. Not. A. Bad. Guy" I told, pausing between each word to show him he wasn't going to get through to me. Yugi clenched his jaw, and I could he was getting angry. I had seen his anger once before but never had he used it with me.
"I'm forced to leave back to Egypt with the thought that I would come back and have you to myself and your already with another guy, it's not like I've been gone for years Hanon!" he yelled, I raged at this point.
"You weren't forced to leave Yugi, you chose to leave, and it happen to be three hard long years with you gone and I had to live with the pain I would never see you again, I thought my heart was never going to heal from the pain you gave me when you walked through those doors back to your kingdom! Inuyasha helped fix it when you weren't there, so don't get angry if I have found someone else to ease my pain!" I yelled back and stormed out the room. I was done, every guy was making mad. Everyone except Sesshomaru, I sighed and walked outside to the bone eaters well, and made sure that Yugi didn't follow me. When I was sure he wasn't following me I jumped in. I couldn't wait to go back to Inuyasha's era, he might have not loved it but I did, it was amazing and I wanted to stay and live here. I climbed out of the well amazed to see and sleeping Inuyasha sitting by the well. I smiled at him, he stayed here waiting for me, he was waiting for me to get back and I was in my era kissing Yugi I told myself sadly.
"Inuyasha" I whispered and tried to poke him awake.
"He's been sleeping there for hours" said a voice; I looked up and saw Kikyo's pale face as she walked over to me.
"What do you want?" I said harshly, she only smiled.
"He cares for you, he has been waiting for your return for so long, I watched him when he came from the well a while ago with such a sad expression on his face. I wonder what you did to make him so sad?" she said, I balled my hands into fists. Kikyo ignored my threat to hit her and tapped her finger on Inuyasha's forehead.
'What are you doing?" I asked, trying to pull her away from him.
"I'm waking him up, but don't worry, he won't be able to see us, he will only hear us" she said, I stared at her, what the hell was she planning?
"Who is this Yugi?" she asked, as we watched as Inuyasha's eyes slowing opened, his ears twitched as he heard our voices.
"Hanon, Kikyo?" he said looking around to find us.
"He is my ex-boyfriend, he's everything I could ever want, I thought that our love we shared would last until we died, but Yugi is a 5000 year old Pharaoh, king of Egypt. He played dangerous game called duel monsters and won every time. But he was given a choice whether or not he wanted to stay with me and our friends in my era, or if he wanted to go back home. I was for sure he would have chosen me, after he loved me, but I was wrong and he decided to go back to his home instead. When he was bided to his tomb the whole thing collapsed and I wanted to die there because I thought I wouldn't be able to live without him, but then I was sucked into the black hole with my friend Karen and she died and I was taken in by Sesshomaru, soon I had lost him, and found the two greatest people in the world, Kagome and Inuyasha. They both had healed my heart, but now Kagome is against me, so Inuyasha has been doing all the healing, and without him I probably wouldn't be able to live, I have to say it, but Inuyasha has always been there for me even if he does like a jerk most of the time and sometimes it's my fault but I want to make things right with because I love him!" I shouted, I stared at Kikyo's blank expression. It was obvious she was trying to make me look bad in front of Inuyasha, but when she heard my story her eyes had softness to it.
"When I said Inuyasha cared for you I meant it, and now I know why, at first I thought you were just trying to steal him from me, but this Yugi and I are the same. Were both living in a world we shouldn't. Were wondering looking for our love and trying to make things right, don't get mad at Yugi for trying to love you, its what's in his heart and that will never go away, just like Inuyasha is in mine, promise me you will take care of him" she said, I nodded and without another word and I ran and hugged her. Could you believe it? I hated Kikyo and now it's like were friends. And I liked it, the only thing now that bothered me was that Kagome was the reincarnated soul of Kikyo. Which meant seeing two halves of Kagome, the evil one, and the one Kikyo was showing to me right now. Our hug ended and she smiled. '
"I caused Inuyasha pain when I was tricked into betraying him, I trust you will heal his heart and he has been healing yours" she said and slowing disappeared in the mist. I smiled as she left, my smile faded when I realized that Inuyasha had just heard everything I had just said. I wanted to burst out into tears (which I knew I couldn't) but the moment was very embarrassing. It was a heck of a day, I had gotten into a fight with Inuyasha, was tricked to be turned into a demon, made up with Inuyasha, then ran into my ex-boyfriend who was turning into a control freak, and know had just spilled my true feelings for Inuyasha. Yeah my life was perfect!
"Hanon?" he said sitting up straight not moving away from the well. I sat down next to him on my knees.
"Yes" I said, he looked up at me, and before I knew I was lost in those beautiful golden eyes that were glistening like the stars above us. I had the urge to fall into his arms and kiss him like I did with Yugi (well sort of) but I was kind of glad that he knew my feelings. After all I knew his, I had overheard his conversation with Miroku and Inuyasha himself said that he had feelings for me. When I hear that I had to set things right, so I went to apologize to him and we made up, but when Yugi showed up at Kaiba Corp. things went wrong, he didn't look like he was going to kill Yugi, like he would with Kouga but he did look mad. Now here I was with him staring at me like I was some goddess and I liked it.
"Did you mean what you said?" he asked, his question startled me because his tone was a little harsh.
"Yes I did" I answered truthfully. Because I did, at least that's what my mind was telling me, but my heart was saying something else. What about Sesshomaru and Yugi? I wasn't exactly sure, it was like my heart was being tangle by a huge spider web just trying to figure out how to get out of this mess before all the trouble catches up and the huge mommy spider comes and eats you. I put my fist over my heart, no I wouldn't let that happen I would soon find out who it was I truly loved and hopefully it was a good choice.
"It's just when I saw that guy kiss you, looked like you liked it" he said, I felt my heart skip a beat, I could tell already that my heart was already about to get captured by the spider web if I answered wrong. It was true, I did like the kiss that Yugi gave me, it was sweet and I had longed for his kiss for so many years. I couldn't tell Inuyasha that, so I decided to add my own twists.
"I'm not going to lie to you Inuyasha because I did enjoy his kiss, but him and I are no more, we were over when he decided to leave me for his kingdom" I told him, which was the truth we were over and if though I still felt feelings for him. Inuyasha turned to me, this time the expression I saw in eyes made me really want to faint. His eyes looked so lovable and the adorable look he was giving me made me want to eat like he was a huge chocolate bar. He was gorgeous under the smooth moonlight, it was official we were both like the night. Another reason it would have been impossible for me and Yugi to be together. One-hundred years is nothing to a demon, but to a human time is everything. Even though Yugi was already older than I was, there was a reason, considering he is already dead and is now a wondering spirit like Kikyo (no offense) they could never be together, with Inuyasha it was different. They could through those one-hundred years without dying unless they were killed by other demons. Inuyasha gently grabbed my hand and rubbed it against his face. I could feel my breath leaving my body as I watched as Inuyasha caressed me. Gently, he pulled my close to him so that our faces were close together. Then slowly he bent down and kissed me, I have always wondered what being kissed by Inuyasha would feel like and to be honest he was a better kisser than Yugi. His kiss was like an explosion; the feeling was like the luscious flavor of candy and felt like the tender splash of the ocean waves that had always calmed me down. He held me so soft, as if he were afraid he was going to break me, I didn't give him time to break lose of our embrace, instead I returned his kiss. He moved his arm and began to caress my cheek. Finally breaking lose, he did the same thing Yugi had done.
'I'm sorry, I should have not done that" he said, I looked at him and opened my mouth to speak but I was cut off by some one else.
'Your right, you should not have done that" said the voice, I stared at the spot was coming from, and slowly Yugi emerged from the bushes.
'Yugi, how did you get here!" I yelled, he ignored me, and his were fierce and filled with jealously, anger and sadness. Inuyasha stood,
"You don't belong here" he said, Yugi laughed,
"Neither does she, hand her over and we'll forget this ever happen" he said and gave him that bad-boy smile.
"She isn't going anywhere!" Inuyasha yelled, Yugi closed his eyes and I knew what was going to happen. Was Yugi really going to use his duel disk to fight off Inuyasha? Would it work? The questions echoed in my mind and I completely unsure. His duel disk moved into formation and before I knew it he carried five cards in his hands. Inuyasha looked confused, but none the less he drew out his Tetsaiga.
"NO stop it! Yugi stop if you continue with this you'll die!" I cried out, I was scared, as far as I was concerned, Inuyasha would give him no mercy, I could tell by there eyes how much they hated each other. I ran and stepped between Inuyasha and Yugi, I stared deep into Inuyasha's eyes to let him I was on his side, then I turned to Yugi and stared into his eyes, they looked hurt and sad, I wanted to run into his arms and tell him that everything would be okay and that we could work it out. But I knew we couldn't, and then I remembered that he had chosen his kingdom over his love, he hadn't loved me as much as I had loved him. If he had then he had left me for his kingdom. I gave him an angry gaze,
"You expect me to just fly into your arms Yugi, I won't I remember everything all the pain and suffering I went through, when you left me to go back to your kingdom you have no idea how it made me feel. I felt betrayed; I knew you loved me but not enough for you to give up something so dear to you for something that you felt strong about. It hurt to see you walk through those doors, and I felt like something had broken inside me. I needed you and you weren't there so please don't expect me to forgive you so easily!" I yelled Yugi stood there motionless; I tell I had hurt him but he did deserve it. I fell to my knees,
'Three years passed since you left and I went searching threw the ocean with Rina and Karen in search of the Aquamarine Seal Crystal. It is legend that the crystal grants any wish, at the time my wish would be to bring you back, but instead when I found the crystal it turned into a black hole and suck Karen and I in, we ended up here where I met Inuyasha and all my other great friends, so don't be like Kaiba and take away what I love, I love this world and I never want to go back to my era, I never want to go back to all those horrible memories you left me with. Inuyasha right now is healing all the injuries you gave me and I like it, I love how he tells he will protect me and never abandon because I know he never will! Not like you, not like anyone else I have ever trusted in my life!" I yelled, I lost two of the people I cared for so much, as much as Yugi had hurt me I still loved him, and even Kagome hates me I still love her and I would never hurt like Naraku wants me to. I looked over to Inuyasha whose eyes were filled with happiness, compassion, and understanding. Inuyasha knew what I meant when I had he would betray me like everyone else had.
"You see, can you keep Hanon safe like I do?" he asked, with his I'm-the-winner look. Yugi laughed,
"I can and I will just you wait, Hanon will be mine, I know everything about her, I know her likes and dislikes, Hanon and I were meant to be together" he said, sounding so sure of himself.
"Yeah we'll see" Inuyasha said and helped me to my feet; I stared up at his beautiful amber colored eyes of his.
"Yugi you don't belong here, you have to go back" I told him, Yugi gave me a smile.
"Neither do you, this isn't your right time period, I'm not leaving without you" he said, I wanted to faint.
"How did you get here anyway?" I asked, giving him a pissed look.
"I found this" he said and held up a scared jewel shard. I gasped and opened my shell locket. My jewel shard was missing. But how did he get it?
"Give that back, Yugi that doesn't belong to you!" I yelled scared out of my mind that he might use it for himself, it that happen he could be in serious danger. "Please" I pleaded. Yugi shook his head,
"Not until you come back with me" he said, I shook my head,
"NO I already told I'm not going back ever, give me back my jewel shard!" I yelled, without the jewel shard I was unable to make Inuyasha obey me, that and I was powerless. The jewel shard in my pearl protected me from my father. He was searching for me and if he caught my scent I would no longer be safe. I needed to get it back; I wouldn't allow my father to find me.
"Yugi give it back, or else, I can't risk losing that shard!" I yelled, he shook his head,
"Come back with me" he said, my anger was released, I ran and unsheathed my claws, and I grabbed Yugi by his neck and forced him to give me the jewel shard. I placed the jewel shard back in my pearl and felt the rush of safety as I closed the locket. I fine now, my claws were gone and so was my anger. I watched at Yugi fell down to his knees,
"You see" he coughed "you see what this world has made you, your dangerous and you need to come back so we can change you back, there is a way" he said, I shook my head.
"Don't you get it, I don't want to change I like who I am!" I yelled, "Yugi go back to your time, you chose your time over me so now I am choosing this time over you, were even now leave!" I yelled, Yugi stood this time, I saw no anger I just saw sadness, I felt terrible, but it had to be done. I can't love Yugi anymore; I refuse to love anyone besides Inuyasha. I won't lie to him anymore. At least that was what my head was saying; my heart was saying something else. I cared about three different guys, Inuyasha, Yugi and Sesshomaru. What was wrong with me? I continued to watch as Yugi jumped through the well, I fought the erg to follow him, instead I stayed by Inuyasha's side. Loving the warmth of his touch, I turned to him.
"Don't worry about him, he'll be fine, I don't want to see you sad" he said touching my face. I smiled and placed my head on his chest. Which was really buff and strong, and then we walked silently back to find Sango and the others. It felt good having Inuyasha near…
