I almost forgot, in the Chapter 36, I think that's "The Lost of Yugi" chapter, the song is Numb by Linkin Park, just to let you guys know.
Chapter 38: Forgiven, Together, and Ancient Past IV
Yami headed upstairs and went up to Yugi's room. HE gave a heavy sigh, but before he knocked on the door, he heard some crying. Yami put his ear against the door and heard Tea crying, crying hard. Yami felt bad, really bad, he never seen or heard Tea cried before, not like this. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
"Tea," asked Yami, "Can I talk to you?"
In an instant, Tea yelled a no and Yami stepped back from the door. He also never heard Tea yelled before. Yami went up to the door and tried to open, it was lock. Yami sighed and went downstairs. Tristan was watching some TV for a little awhile, Ryou was looking outside, Michelle was sitting next to Seto trying to make him comfortable, and Duke was in the kitchen trying to find something to eat. As for Joey, he was sitting on the couch, crossing his arms, tapping his foot, and doing some thinking. For one thing, he was still angry with Yami for what he said, on being useless and all, and that his baby sister is still missing. Yami wanted to leave this place, but he couldn't. Yami then spotted some keys hanging on those key holders next to the door and Yami went up to it and grabbed it. Yami thought this might be the key for everything inside the house so he decided to use it to go inside Yugi's room. Yami went back upstairs and went to Yugi's room again. He grabbed a silver key and on the handle, it said YUGI on it. Yami knew this had to be the one for his room, so Yami inserted the silver key in the keyhole, gave it a turn, and unlocked it. Yami carefully and slowly opened the door and saw Tea on Yugi's bed crying. Yami hated to enter a room with Tea crying. Yami closed the door and went up to Tea.
"Tea," said Yami, "Please. Let me explain everything."
"Shut up you stupid pharaoh," yelled Tea. She grabbed one of Yugi's books and threw at him. Yami covered his face with his arms, and the book hit his arm. Yami put his arms down and gave a sad sigh.
"Please Tea," pleaded Yami, "I know how you feel…"
"You feel nothing," yelled Tea not even looking at him.
"…It is my fault, yes. But, you got to listen to me Tea," pleaded Yami.
"I don't got to listen to anything anymore!"
"I see this is going nowhere…great. Tea, you were right on all those things you said. Maybe, if I never existed, or these Millennium Items were created, Yugi would still be here, you two would be together, but I made that go away from you two. For that I am sorry…"
Tea didn't spoke and Yami just stood there. He gave a sad look and looked at the ground. Everyone was angry with him for losing to a manic, who's much worse than Dartz. Tea was also right where he was supposed to save people's lives, not the other way around. Yami sat on the bed next to Tea, who was still not looking at Yami.
"Please Tea. Just say something. I know you're angry, I don't want to be forgiven by you if you don't want to forgive me, but please, just hear me. Will get Yugi back, I'll get Yugi back, alone, if that's what it takes to earn my friends trust again…"
Yami started to get up, but before he could start moving, Tea grabbed his arm. Yami looked down and saw Tea. Yami saw her eyes were watery, and tears were falling off from her eyes. Tea went to the edge of the bed and sat up, and Yami sat back down again next to her.
"I'm really sorry Tea. I really am…"
"I know you're sorry…I'm sorry too…"
"For what Tea? For all those words you said back there? No Tea, those words you said about me, they were true…none of this would have ever happened if the spirit of the pharaoh never existed, or this blasted Millennium Items…"
"But…without you pharaoh, Yugi won't be friends with Joey or Tristan. If you never came, Yugi would still be alone…you made the guys be friends with Yugi, and the more you stayed, the more friends Yugi had…"
"I guess you're right…"
"I know I'm right pharaoh," smiled Tea.
Yami gave a small smile and both got up and started heading downstairs where everyone was. While they were walking downstairs, Tea spoke out again.
"But, you're not off the hook yet pharaoh," smiled Tea, "I'm not forgiving you until we get Yugi back."
"I will get Yugi back Tea," said Yami. Tea punched him in the shoulder and Yami gave a small groan. He looked at Tea, who was still smiling.
"I said, 'WE' pharaoh. That means were getting Yugi back, together," smiled Tea.
Yami gave another smile and nodded. As they came downstairs, things got out of control, at least, only to Joey, Tristan, and Duke.
"Dude! The game is on! Turn it to the game channel," yelled Tristan.
"No way! I just realized Billy the Idiot is on and I gotta watch it, so give me the remote back Tristan," yelled Joey.
"You too are wrong, Dungeon Creatures is on and I need to watch it," yelled Duke.
The three were fighting over the remote and while they were fighting, Michelle grabbed the remote and switched the channel to some sort of Drama episode show. The three guys gave a surprised look. No way, not even when a Meteor comes down to earth, would they want to watch that. The three were about to get the remote, but Michelle gave a really dirty, angry look. The three guys moved back and sat back down. They gave a groaning sound and watched what was on. It was some of those shows, where the people who are acting in the show, have bad acting, and they have those stupid expressions on them like, he was the one who did it, and it would play one of those THUN THUN THUN sound and everyone would have a surprised expression. You know what I mean right? You seen those on TV? Never mind. Let's just continue with the story.
"Look's like everyone is enjoying watching some TV," smiled Tea.
Yami heard a knock on a door and went up to it. When he opened the door, a huge guy, he had sunglasses on, wear some kind of suit, he had like, a small mustache, and his hair was all black except his side. Part of his hair was just gray, only a little, but all his hair was black and neatly trimmed. You could say, he was old, but NOT that old.
"I'm here to see Mr. Kaiba," said the suited man.
Michelle looked at the man and tried to recognize him. She remembered seeing him always with Kaiba, well, sometimes really, but she forgot his name.
"Hey! I know you…I know you're name starts with an R…Ronald…Rick…Ritz, Racket…Rocket," said Michelle thinking out loud. The man slapped his head and stared at the girl.
"The name is Roland girl. I think you work with Mr. Kaiba, right," asked Roland. Michelle gave a nod and Roland clapped his hands together.
"Quick then, me must find Mr. Kaiba, I have to tell him something really important," yelled Roland about to exit the door.
"Oh his here, his just resting here for a bit," said Michelle. Roland stopped right in his tracks and stared back at Michelle. He looked behind her and saw Mr. Kaiba trying to get up, who was lying on the couch.
"Mr. Kaiba," yelled Roland. He went up to him, but Seto put his hand in front of him.
"I got it…I can get up," said Seto trying to get on his two feet again. Seto was about to fall, but Michelle quickly grabbed hold of Kaiba before Roland had the chance to help him.
"Um…thanks…Michelle," said Seto.
Everyone gave a huge expression except Michelle, because they would NEVER, EVER, hear Seto, thank-you, or thanks, or anything like that before! Michelle had a small blush and gave a bright smile. Seto looked back at Roland and Roland gave a small salute to him, though to Seto, that was stupid and embarrassing.
"So what is it Roland," asked Seto, "What are you doing here?"
"Sir! I was trying to look for you because I got some bad news," said Roland in a hurry.
"What is it, it better be important," said Seto with an angry tone.
"Mokuba's been kidnapped," yelled Roland.
"WHAT," yelled Seto, "Who kidnapped him? How did this happen? WHEN did this happen?"
"Sir, it happened right after you left Kaiba Corp," said Roland, "It was time to pick Mr. Mokuba, so I took the limo and drove to the hospital. Once I got there, doctors and nurses came up to me, saying that Mokuba was kidnapped. So I asked them who took him and all they saw was a man, with spiky hair, wearing a black robe…"
Roland looked around the house and saw Yami. Roland gave a small thinking and then pointed his finger at him.
"Him sir! It was him," yelled Roland.
Everyone looked at Yami and Yami soon stepped back waving his hands.
"No way! I was never near a hospital! So don't point your finger at me," yelled Yami.
"It can't be Roland, no matter how many times I wished it was him, it isn't," said Seto, "I saw Yugi dueling, but I did see a spiky headed guy wearing a black robe earlier, but I never had the chance to stop him, right after the duel…"
"Uh…if you say so sir. But we must go Mr. Kaiba," said Roland stepping outside, "I called the SWAT team, the Coast Guard, the army, everyone, to look for Mr. Mokuba sir."
When Roland helped Seto get to the limo, Michelle let go of Seto and gave a small bow to Yami and to his friends.
"Thank for letting us stay with you guys," said Michelle getting up, "It was really nice of you."
"No biggy, always welcome to come in, expect for rich boy there," said Joey waving his hands in the air.
Michelle gave a small smile and ran to the limo and all three were gone. The three boys then saw the remote and then stared at each and made a jump for it. There was a lot of fighting and yelling and Yami and Tea gave a small laugh. Yami then turned around and saw Ryou still staring outside the window.
"What's on your mind Ryou," asked Tea.
"Oh nothing, just thinking about those Dark God Cards," said Ryou.
Yami looked back down again into sad mode and the three boys stopped fighting and listened to Ryou.
"Just making me think about them made me think about you're god cards pharaoh," said Ryou, "You had all three god cards on the field, and you lost, I'm not putting it in a bad way! But you see, I was doing some thinking about the Dark Gods, what would have happened, if Aeru, summoned all three? Just one dark god, made me think, if one was that strong, think about the others, and all three on the field…"
"Yeah, that sometimes leave me wonder too, but the pharaoh will find a way, I know he will," said Joey giving a thumbs up sign.
There was yet again, another knock on the door and when Yami opened the door, three people were standing in front of the door. It was Odion, Marik, and Ishizu!
"May we come in," smiled Marik. Yami opened the door wider so all of them could come in and gave a small hello.
"Welcome back guys," smiled Tea.
Odion, Marik, and Ishizu gave a huge surprised expression and went up to Tea. Each and every one of them hugged her and Tea hugged them back.
"Never realized I was missed that much," smiled Tea.
"You had you're soul taken away back at Pegasus place," said Marik, "then you must have defeated Aeru!"
Everyone gave a sad look and this made the three Egyptians wonder. Yami allowed them to sit, so the three sat down on a couch and told them the story.
Later on…"So that's it," said Yami.
Ishizu remained silent, Odion was doing some thinking, and Marik was the first to speak.
"So one dark god, beat the pharaoh when the pharaoh had all three god cards on the field," asked Marik. Everyone nodded and Marik did some thinking as well.
"How could the pharaoh lose to a Dark God Card," asked Ishizu to herself, "This cannot be.."
While they were speaking, there was a loud sound in there ears in everyone. Everyone was crying in pain and were falling on their knees. It was like nails on a blackboard being scratched, hard. It was a loud screech that it made everyone go nuts.
"AAAHHH! THIS SOUND! IT'S HURTING MY EARS," yelled Joey.
"MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP," yelled Tea. After awhile, one by one, the gang fainted and Yami and Tea only remained. Soon after, Tea collapsed on the floor and Yami fell down next to her.
As they woke up, the gang saw them lying on a sandy floor. Everyone got on their feet and looked around at where they were.
"Sister…doesn't this look familiar," asked Marik.
"Master Marik! Mistress Ishizu! We're in Egypt! Ancient Egypt," yelled Odion looking in front of him. The gang looked at where Odion was looking at and were amazed to see a huge golden temple, surrounded by thousands of homes made out of stone and lots of people passing through them. Joey went up to a guy and was about to ask him questions. But before he could speak, he was about to tap him on the shoulder, but his hand went through him.
"Wha! It's some kind of Illusion," yelled Joey.
"My ancient past," said Yami. Everyone looked at him and then, heard a ratting sound, like a horse running. Everyone turned around and saw a horse charging right at them. Everyone jumped to the side and only Duke and Tristan remained at the center.
"What's going on," asked Tristan.
"Huh," asked Duke.
Both turned around and horse just went through them. Both guys fell down on the floor breathing hard.
"Am I alive," asked Tristan breathing hard.
"Am I in heaven," asked Duke.
Ryou and Yami pull them up on their feet again and another horse went through them. Everyone was breathing hard, except for Yami. Bakura appeared next to Ryou and gave a small grin.
Bakura: So this is the past of the pharaoh, heh heh heh, interesting…The two horses stopped and two young Egyptians jumped off their horses. Both nearly looked alike, but had different hair colors. The first Egyptian boy had purple eyes, a tri-color hair, a red, black, and blond hair color while the second boy had a completely black hair color, but both hairstyles were similar.
"I beat you brother," yelled the second boy.
"You always beat me at everything," said the first boy.
"Aww, don't be like that At-, I mean, Yami," said the second boy almost saying his first name. He was aloud to have a name, but due to the fact that the towns people best know his name, they had nicknames so know would know they were part of the royal family, that they were the sons of the great Egyptian King, King Akunumkanon.
"Well, let's go check on father, maybe he'll take us the river again Thoth," asked Yami.
"I hate that name, call me Aeru," smiled Aeru.
"But you're lucky to carry a name of a god had holds great wisdom," smiled Yami.
"Speak for yourself little brother, you have a name that's like, the father of all gods," laughed Aeru.
The both laughed and ran towards the golden temple to go see their father. The gang looked at each and followed the two boys.
"So, that's you when you were little pharaoh," asked Ishizu.
"Aw! You look so adorable," smiled Tea. Yami gave an angry sigh and everyone laughed. But the little Aeru made Joey wonder.
"Yo! If that was Aeru with you pharaoh, what made Aeru go bad," asked Joey, "We just saw a evil guy, as kid, laughing, and both of you having fun…"
"I sometimes wonder too Joey," said Yami, "If he truly is my brother, that I know he is, I want to know, what made him a good child, to a awful man…if both played games together, had fun together, laughed together, I want to know, what made him like this."
"Maybe, if we find him, we can ask him. If he can just tell us, maybe all this terrible things will end," said Tea.
Yami nodded and continued walking towards the temple. Soon after, they were inside the temple of the pharaoh. Everyone looked around seeing the magnificent structure the Egyptians made, Yami was once here with Yugi, when they saw Aeru fight against him. As they proceeded, they reached a room, where they were tons of Guards at the side, standing still carrying their spears, swords, and shields, etc. Everyone looked forward and saw a bearded man sitting on his throne with six priests next to him. The two kids ran up to the king and the king bent down to hug his two children.
"Thoth! Yami," laughed the man, "Where have you two been!"
"We were racing on each other on the horses," laughed Yami, "Though Thoth, I mean, Aeru beat me again…"
"Again? Ha ha ha. Never give up son, eventually you'll beat Thoth," laughed the man rubbing Yami's hair. Yami laughed brightly and the man went up to Aeru and rubbed his hair.
"Again with the name changing Thoth," laughed Akunumkanon.
Aeru gave a happy sigh and nodded, "I don't think Thoth fits me father. Aeru sounds more like it. Sure, I know, I should be grateful that I have a name of a god of wisdom, but Aeru sounds simple and better."
"I understand, but no matter what, you're still Thoth. Got it," laughed Akunumkanon.
"Father! Can we go the Nile River again," pleaded Yami.
"You're father can't go children," said a man wearing a blue robe. He wore some kind of magician hat and had a rag covering nearly all of his face except his eyes and carried some kind of golden object around his neck. The Millennium Key, or sometimes, noticed as the Millennium Ankh.
"Relax Shimon," said Akunumkanon, "I can take care of myself."
"But brother, you must stay and be protected," yelled a man. The man was wearing a white robe and had a white hood on him. The gang could see he had an eye, but they couldn't see his other eye. Soon after, they saw that he only had one eye because on his other eye, was a gold shape of an eye, the Millennium Eye.
"Again, relax Akhenaden," laughed Akunumkanon, "Even the ruler of Egypt needs to have fun with his children once in awhile…"
The six priests gave a sigh and two more kids came from the temple. It was a child with long black hair and was wearing like white clothing, mixed with gold. The second was a girl, a bit smaller, and had long spiky brown hair. She wore like white clothing, you could say, she nearly wore the same things as the dark magician girl.
"Mana! Mahado," yelled Yami. Mana quickly ran up to Yami and Yami started making a run for it. Mana was chasing Yami while Yami was running for his life.
"Brother! Help me," cried Yami.
"You're on your own little brother," laughed Aeru.
"Yami! I only want to give you a hug," laughed Mana.
"No thanks! The last time you hugged me, you crushed nearly crushed my body and I hade to lay on bed for five days," cried Yami.
"I promise I'll be more careful," laughed Mana.
"I'm taking that chance!"
"Hahahaha. Looks like the two are having fun," laughed Mahado.
Aeru and Mahado started leaving the temple and Yami chased after them. The father gave a small laugh and the six priests gave a soft smile except for Akhenaden who was just starting at the two kids.
"Wait for me you two! Don't leave me with her," cried Yami after the two.
Just then, everything disappeared and the gang looked everywhere. It was all darkness and then, a huge bright light appeared and everything ended.
Everyone woke up in Yugi's home and rubbed their heads. Everyone felt dizzy and everyone looked like they got a headache after that.
"My head hurts man," said Joey rubbing his head.
"That was ride I don't want to ride again," said Ryou trying to get up.
"I thought I was dead when that horse went towards me," said Tristan sighing deeply.
"I thought I saw Serenity when I thought I was dead. She was beautiful," drooled Duke. Joey punched Duke in the face and face fell on the floor.
"Never talk like that do my sister! Got it," yelled Joey.
Tristan laughed and Duke was on the floor dizzy. Yami helped Tea get up on her two feet and Marik, Odion, and Ishizu sat back down on the couch.
"That was strange," said Odion.
"We just saw the pharaoh's past during his childhood," said Ishizu.
"One thing, what caused us to see the pharaoh's past," said Marik.
"I kept getting this past dreams lately, it happened once in Duelists Kingdom and over here with Yugi," said Yami.
"This doesn't make sense," said Marik, "Who is causing this? What does this mean?"
"It means someone wants to show us of the pharaoh's past and Aeru's past," said Ryou, "It's got to be it. It's showing us when they were brothers once."
"But we must know who is doing all this," said Odion.
"Oh! That reminds me…look what I got everyone," said Marik digging in his pocket.
He grabbed a card and showed it to the gang. It was Storm, the Wind Knight of the West. Ryou took out his two Knight cards, Odin the Dark Knight of the North and Gilgamesh the Shadow Knight of the True North, Joey took out Lance, the Light Knight of the South, and Yami showed his knight card, Blaze, the Fire Knight of the East. Just then, this reminded Yami about his duel with Aeru. He had this powerful card in his deck, yet it didn't come to his rescue, same thing for Timaeus. Timaeus always comes to his aid, guess since he had all three god cards on the field, Timaeus didn't have to come…but still. Yami shook it off and looked at his friends' cards.
"So all we need is Giga, the Knight of Life of the Center, and we can beat Aeru," said Marik.
"Uh, hate da tell it do you Marik, but Kaiba's got that monster," said Joey.
"Great, then we just got to see him," said Marik.
"I don't think it'll work. You know rich boy, he doesn't like to help people in his needs, works solo or so…little bas-"
"Said something Joey," asked Yami.
"Nothing! Nothing!" smiled Joey.
"So we finally have all five knights…even though Kaiba's not here," said Ryou.
"Great," smiled Tea, "All you guys finally have those powerful knight cards!"
"And me and da pharaoh have our dragons for good luck charm," smiled Joey. He grabbed his Helmos card and hugged it against his cheek, "Whose going to help me kick Aeru's butt, you are! Whose going to help get Yug back from him, you are!"
"Let's find Kaiba, and maybe, we get some information from Pegasus," said Yami.
"That's right, maybe he'll know something about these five knights," said Ishizu.
Everyone cheered and then something glowed from the pharaoh's pocket. He grabbed it and saw the Millennium Necklace glow. Everyone stared at the glow and the pharaoh saw a glimpse of the future, only him. Yami closed his eyes to see what the Necklace was showing and waited.
Yami opened his eyes and when he opened them, he saw chaos. Buildings were on fire, dark clouds surrounding the city. Yami ran around wondering what is this and when he reached the center of the city, he saw bodies all over the floor, dead. He went up to one and rolled him over making him lay on his back. As soon as he saw the body, he quickly stepped away from it, it was Joey. Yami looked around saw more dead bodies…his friend's bodies. Tristan and Duke were against the wall lying the ground not moving, Ryou was lying on the ground on his face, Mai too, with Serenity, Seto, Marik, Ishizu, Odion, everyone! Everyone he knew, everyone he was friends with, were dead. But one thing that stroke him the most was grandpa dead, and Tea…hanging on a cross, like Jesus being nailed on the cross and all (I'm just trying to explain it like that), but Tea was not nailed to the cross. Robes were holding her stay on the cross, and Yami saw a figure with spiky hair looking up at Tea. Yami grinded his teeth knowing it was Aeru doing this kind of horror, but he was wrong. When the spiky figure turned around, Yami couldn't believe. He didn't want to believe it. He wanted to yell, but it won't come out. He was horrified to see this. It was him. Not Yugi. Him. He caused all these, he was the one that caused the destruction of Domino City, he was the cause that all his friends were dead. And that was all.
Yami opened his eyes and was breathing hard, sweating a lot. Joey and Tristan went up to him and helped him get up.
"Dude! You're not feeling well," said Joey with a worried concern, "Is it really that bad?"
Everyone was staring at Yami, and Yami couldn't them what he saw, he hate to lie to his friends who trusted him, but he didn't want tell them, this horrible secret.
"Um, the necklace took my strength, it sometimes does that to me," lied Yami, "Um…guess what, the necklace showed we were at Aeru's base…"
"Really," said Tea grabbing her hands together, "Where is it!"
"Um…it didn't showed me where…but, um, we were there," lied Yami.
"Awwww," groaned everyone.
"But will be there, right," asked Joey.
Yami nodded and everyone cheered. Yami felt bad lying to them, he had to find out about this, somehow, what made him do that, what caused him to do that…whatever made him do this, he only knew one person…Aeru.
