Author's notes: I'm back, with another long chapter, even though I haven't really gotten any reviews since my last chapter, I just couldn't wait. I wrote this whole chapter without any help, and it includes: Tea, Ushio, Weevil, and Rex bashing, some Fantasyshipping and another trial. You will also find out if Hashira gets to go to Japan. I own nothing but Hashira, enjoy the chapter.
After talking in the lounge for a while, I ask Atemu if he can come with me to the pharaoh's chambers since, I admit I'm still a little uneasy about talking to the pharaoh, and he says okay. We walk to the pharaoh's chambers and knock on the door. We then hear the pharaoh say, "Come in." Atemu and I walk in and Atemu says, "Father, Hashira wishes to speak with you." The pharaoh says, "Okay son, you can go." Atemu nods then leaves the room. The pharaoh then says, "Hashira, what did you want to talk to me about." I say, "Pharaoh, I was wondering if I could go on the trip to Japan, because you know how half shadow creatures like me have soul mates, well my soul mate is in Japan." The pharaoh nods and says, "So, want to meet your soul mate for the first time?" I nod and he smiles and says, "You needn't worry, Hashira. I was already going to have you come along, you are my son's bodyguard, after all. When you meet your soul mate in person, be sure to introduce me." I smile and he says, "You may leave." I nod and leave the room, heading for the horse stables to see if I can make some horse friends and think to myself, 'This is the best day of my life.' Unfortunately that feeling doesn't last long. I smell Tea and hear her whiney voice say, "Hey Freak." I turn to were she is and see that there is knife in her hand. I pale a little but that much, because one there are no laws that I saying no harm is to come to half shadow creatures and two, because I know the moment I'm in danger, I know that my father will come and protect me.
Tea says, "Freaks like you don't belong in the palace so I'll eliminate you." I immediately transform to shadow creature form and point my horn at her. She smirks and says, "Now I know you're a freak." I smell assassins, but not just any assassins, these assassins are rare assassins that hunt down half shadow creatures. One jumps onto my back and is so big and heavy, I fall down in pain. Another puts rope around my hooves. I shoot a fireball via my horn at Tea and another assassin comes and blocks my attack. Tea laughs and says, "Freak, you can't beat me," she then points the knife at me and says, "I should've done this the moment I met you." I then yell, /Help...anyone...shadow assassins...Tea...knife...help!/ The assassins smacks me in the face and says, "Shut up, no one can save you now." I pale as Tea steps forward and brings the knife into my side. I neigh out in pain. A light appears above us and my father appears, looking quite pissed off. He kicks Tea and the big assassin away from me and bites the rope off my hooves. Tea has a look of horror on her face as my father tries to get me to lift my head, but my side, it hurts too much. I hear footsteps and try my best to whiney to my father, "Dad, take care of the three assassins, make sure they can't escape. They hunt down half shadows like me." I smell Atemu and Yugi approach and see my father attack the assassins and notice that Tea is escaping. Then I black out.
I feel pain in my side as my eyes start to open up. I hear a deep baritone voice say, "Hashira, you woke up." My ears pick up the sound of feet rushing over to us. My eyes open up fully and I see everyone looking worried. I see that I'm in human form and ask, "What happened?" Atemu says, "We heard you call us and then we heard a very gut wrenching neigh so we came as fast as we could. When we finally found you, you passed out, and when you did, you went back to human form. We captured the three assassins and Isis took care of the wound on your side." Bakura says, "Hashira you said you could take care of any assassins or anything like that so what happened?" I sigh and say, "Tea approached me with a knife in her hand, so I prepared myself for a fight, but I was caught off guard when those assassin attacked, and I can tell you right now, they aren't your standard assassins. These are rare assassins that only hunt down half shadow creatures like me. How Tea was able to contact one of them is beyond me. I was unable to defend myself, because one had me pinned to the ground, another had rope tied around my hooves, and the last had blocked my magic from reaching Tea. She then stabbed my side in an attempt to kill me. If it wasn't for my Father, I would be dead. The only problem is that there are no laws that say that half shadow horse's can't be killed. I am just glad that we captured at least three of those assassins, it's one of the reasons that we are so rare."
Atemu's eyes darken and he says, "So we can't do anything." The pharaoh sighs and says, "I'm afraid she's right, son. All I can do is leave her off with a warning. She has broken none of our laws." I sigh and say, "My pharaoh, there is one thing I forgot to mention about my kind. If we are injured and nearly die, and our fathers don't kill whoever attacked us, then us half shadows can exact our revenge in any possible form, and I have the perfect idea." I smirk and look at Bakura, Marik, Malik, and Joey, who each after a few seconds, smirk and get a look of hope in their eyes. I say, "Bakura, Marik, Malik, Joey, I want you four to prank her every time she tries to get near me, Atemu, or Yugi, and every time you prank her, you have free reign to do it as hard as you want, even when you are pranking her for fun, and you can start whenever you want." Each one of them smiles widely and Bakura and Marik both say, "This is the best day of our lives." Then each of the four boys take turns hugging me, which hurts since I'm still recovering from my injury, then they run off, smirking evil-ishly all the way. Atemu looks at me and says, "I think you just made them the happiest people in Egypt." I shrug and say, "Well, no matter how much I want to see Tea dead, I know that it is not the right thing to do, so I just decided to make four certain people happy, and by the sounds that my ears are picking up, they are trying to decide what they are going to do to her."
Isis says, "Hashira, your wounds have healed faster than a humans injuries." I tell Isis, "That's because even my human form has horse qualities: sense of smell, acute hearing, a sixth sense that allows me to sense danger, high fight/flight instinct, horse gestation period, leg strength, my fighting abilities, etc, my wounds healed fast because of me being a half shadow." Isis looks at me and says, "Horse gestation period?" I say, "Yeah, if I ever get pregnant by my soul mate, while humans have a nine month pregnancy, horses have 11 months but anything between 10 and 12 months is normal." Atemu says, "High fight/flight instinct?" I say, "Yeah, since in the natural world, horses are considered prey animals, animals that are hunted by other animals for food, that means that we have an acute danger sense, when faced with danger this instinct kicks in, we can either stand our ground fighting or we high tail it out of danger's way, I just always choose to act on my instinct to stand my ground." Isis says, "Well Hashira, you just need some more rest and you'll be okay by tomorrow." I nod and everyone hears a shriek and laughter, and we know that the four pranksters have pulled their first prank.
The pharaoh says, "Hashira, tomorrow when you are healed, we will hold the trial for those three assassins, okay." I nod and yawn, while everyone leaves. I look out at the sky and see that it is nighttime, I might as well get some sleep.
Dream start: I open my eyes to see that I'm back in the valley, I notice that my wound from the real world stayed with me, so I head towards the oasis to wash my wound. When I get to the water's edge, I look at the wound and growl when I see the blood covered scar. I begin to get rid of the blood, when I hear a familiar voice say, "Uni-Shira?" I look behind me and see Toshiro looking right back at me. His eyes then wander to my wound and eyes are immediately filled with worry. He then asks, "Uni-Shira, what happened?" I sigh and say, "Drago-Shiro, you know that evil woman, Tea, I told you about." He nods. I sigh and tell Toshiro what happened. His peaceful turquoise eyes become full of absolute rage and he says, "I'll kill her." I shake my head and say, "Drago-Shiro, you can't do that, besides, I have four of the best pranksters in the palace torturing her with pranks." He smirks, obviously liking what he heard. I then say, "Hey Drago-Shiro, you know how the pharaoh, the prince and other Egyptians are coming to Japan for a peace treaty, right." Toshiro says, "Yeah." "Well, I am coming with them, because one, I'm the prince's bodyguard, and two because you're there." I say with a smile. Toshiro's eyes light up and he says, "Yes, we get to meet each other face to face in the real world." I remember something I forgot to ask him before and ask, "Hey Drago-Shiro, I've been wondering this, how can you speak Egyptian?" Toshiro says, "One of the servants in the Japanese palace is very fluid in it, we learned from him." I say, "Okay." Toshiro looks at my wound again and asks, "How much pain are you in?" I sigh and say, "It hurts a little, I was just using the water in this oasis to clean it up a little. Want to help?" Toshiro says, "Yes." He focuses his energy and creates a bowl made of ice. He then puts water in the bowl and sets it next to me before going to the trees and getting big leaves. He then uses his magic to turn the leaves into rags and dips them in the water. He then proceeds to wash off the blood, which him touching that area hurts. I feel the sting and Toshiro says, "Uni-Shira, this will help with the pain." He then turns the rags into bandages and puts it on my wound. I say, "Thanks Drago-Shiro." He nuzzles me and says, "I'll do anything to make sure you're happy and safe." I sigh and then an idea comes to mind and I say, "Drago-Shiro, if you ever get me pregnant one day, then you better not become a mother hen." Toshiro looks at me and innocently says, "I won't ever dream of it." Way too innocently. I then say, "Drago-Shiro, with this wound, I can't transform until I'm healed, I don't want to risk getting hurt more." Toshiro thinks and then says, "Maybe I can transform, and you can ride me in the sky." I know that when I'm in human form, in order not to fall off, I'm going to hold on tightly, so that is what he's getting at, fine it's just an excuse to cuddle him. I nod and he transforms. He then crouches down, allowing me to get on, and says, /You might want to hold on./ I nod, knowing what is going to happen, and wrap my arms around his neck. He then flaps his mighty wings and we take off, and I must admit it feels great riding on him. After a while of flying, we both see the light saying that it's time to wake up and we say our goodbyes.:Dream End
I wake up with a yawn and see Isis sitting next to me, waiting for me to wake up. She says, "Good morning, Hashira." "I say, "Good morning, Isis." She then checks my wound and says, "You are fully healed, Hashira." I nod and say, "That's because what happens in the dream world stays with me to the real world, and my soul mate proceeded to wash my wound and bandage it up." Isis smiles and says, "It's nice to know that you are in love with someone who can help you. Come on, it's time for the meeting." I nod and follow Isis to the throne room.
Atemu sees me and says, "Hashira, nice to see you're up." I say, "Thanks," I turn to the pharaoh and ask, "Can we start the trial please?" The Pharaoh nods and everyone gets to where they need to go and he says, "Bring in the prisoners." Honda and five other guards bring in the assassins and I finally get a good look at them. The one who squashed me on the floor had very large eyebrows, black hair with bangs that look like his eyebrows and the assassin might as well be a Hitotsu-Me Giant with how big he is. The one who tied the ropes around my hooves had turquoise hair in a haircut that makes him look like a beetle and blue buggy eyes and he was very short. The one who blocked my attack on Tea was as small as the other and had long brown hair with bangs that looked like he once spilled purple paint on them and had small brown eyes. I can tell that they all have Ka, black hair has Hitotsu-Me Giant, fitting his stature, turquoise hair has Insect Queen and brown hair has Two-Headed King Rex. I whisper what I know to the pharaoh and ask something. The pharaoh nods and asks, "Can you three tell us your names?" Black hair says, "My name is Ushio the Tormentor." Turquoise hair says, "I'm Weevil the Exterminator." Brown hair says, "I'm Rex the Deadly."
Seto reads from a scroll stating the charges, and I say, "Oh so they are wanted criminal thieves who also make a living on assassinating innocent half shadow creatures." The pharaoh says, "We will now hold a trial of the millenium items." Karim steps forth, reads all of them, and none of them pass. Shada steps forth, reads all of them, Ushio has torture devices and money everywhere in his soul room along with the giant, Weevil has spider webs covering his soul room along with the giant insect, and Rex has bones in his soul room along with the two headed monster. Aknaudin steps and one by one extracts their Ka. Seto then proceeds to seal their Ka in a sealing stone. The pharaoh then says, "Hashira, since you are the one they attacked, you must decide their punishment." I smirk and say loud enough for the whole throne room to hear, "I have decide the prisoners' punishment. They will be executed by means of being torn apart by the shadow creature fathers of the half shadows you have harmed." The three exhausted assassins hear this and attempt to get free. The pharaoh then says, "They will be executed at sunset, take them down to the dungeons." The three screaming and struggling assassins are then dragged to the dungeons to await their deaths.
The pharaoh turns to me and says, "Hashira, you will need to contact your father for this execution to work, right." I nod. He then says, "Hashira, I have noticed that you have a wild streak like Bakura and Marik, so after you contact your father, you can go torture them as much as you like." I smirk and say, "Yes, my pharaoh it shall be done." I then transform into shadow creature form and transport myself to the Domain of the Beasts to talk to my father and call the shadow creature fathers that had their children killed. After I finish talking, I transport myself back to the palace and go back to human form. Bakura and Marik find out I'm going to torture the prisoners, so they give me a bag full of whips with blades and knifes, and tell me the best ways to torture people, before I go and exact some revenge.
At sunset, I am down in the pit, that the prisoners will be pushed into, talking to the shadow creature along with my dad. I leave the pit just as the prisoners are being brought out, bleeding heavily and covered with cuts and bruises. Bakura and Marik tell me the admire my work and the three assassins are pushed into the pit being torn to shreds. We all leave back to our chambers, and I feel really happy.
Author's notes:-Tea bashers are booing at what she did to Hashira- I couldn't think of three assassin OC's so I just used those throwaway villains from the anime. I don't really know what I'm doing for the next chapter and that's why I need reviewers. Please review.
