FeatherSky0606: Hello there! I made this chapter as a prologue of Kitari and Atem 5000 years before Domino City. This doesn't take place in the Dawn of the Duel Season. This takes place before Atem defeated Zorc, and this chapter shows how Kitari was sealed away inside The Lunar Amulet. I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh.
It was Ancient Egypt, and there was a great and powerful Pharaoh. Before he became Pharaoh, his father, Pharaoh Aknamkanon destroyed a village with thieves and murderers called Kul Elna, to power mysterious items called The Millennium Items. An outcast, or The King of Thieves known as Bakura, summoned Diabound to destroy Pharaoh Atem in his palace. However, that plan failed miserably.
Meanwhile, Atem and the Lunar Princess, Kitari were separated from an attack of Bakura's soldiers {I'm just going to call them that} Atem was searching along the valley, looking for his companion.
"Kitari! Are you out there?!" he shouted into the distance.
No answer.
He slid down a steep hill, and found himself on a cliff. He looked over the edge, and saw that it goes down very, very far. Enough for a man to fall to his death.
"Well, if it isn't the mighty Pharaoh Atem." A voice taunted. He turned around, expecting to see Bakura, but instead he saw that it was his right hand man, Mdjai.
"What do you want, Mdjai?" Atem demanded, clenching his fists.
"I am just doing as Master Bakura wants. And he demands that I make you weak." He grinned evilly as he said those words. Atem unsheathed his sword, prepared for any attack. What he didn't know is that Mdjai is far better at sword fighting than he could ever be.
"Hm, you made a good choice to fight, after all, Kitari would want you to fight me." As soon as he said her name, his eyes widened in fear.
"What did you do to her?!" Atem demanded. His heart would be crushed if anything happened to her.
He shrugged carelessly, making Atem angrier "Nothing yet, but soon there will." Mdjai's eyes were filled with malice, insanity, and darkness.
"If you lay a hand on her, Mdjai, you will not see the light of day ever again." Atem snarled
################################################## ###################################
Kitari was running through the valleys on all fours, fear filling her senses as she remembered what Mdjai said to her
"You should really have your guard up on the Pharaoh; after all…something bad might happen to him"
'Oh gods, please let Atem be alright.' She thought that same sentence over, and over again, but fear and horror still coursed through her. She dashed up a hill, and stopped to catch her breath. But at the same time, she heard yowls of pain and swords clashing together. Unsheathing her claws, she creeped over to where the fighting was, and gasped at what she saw.
It was Atem and Mdjai. And Atem was on his back, with cuts and bruises all over his body. Mdjai looked ready to stab the sword in his heart, and end her Pharaoh's life. Fearing the worst, she growled, and charged at him, slamming her claws into his body.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%%%%%%
Atem was losing. Whenever he tried to throw an attack, Mdjai would dodge, and cut him. He landed on his back after having Mdjai kick him in his chest. He was about to take Atem's life away, when he heard familiar growling, and a blur of blue rammed into Mdjai. It was Kitari. She was growling, and her tail was lashing back and forth.
"Kitari…" he croaked. She looked towards him, and gave him a reassuring smile before growling back at their opponent.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the moon doll. So you've come here to protect your helpless Pharaoh."
Kitari only roared, and leaped at him, unsheathing her large dagger in the process. She sliced his cheek, coating the tip of the dagger in blood.
"You'll pay for that!" he snarled. After a couple minutes of fighting, Atem was able to get back up on his feet, and fight with his best friend. Mdjai threw a punch at Kitari's mouth, making her bleed, and sliced Atem's stomach. Wincing in pain, Atem grabbed his sword and yelled
"Kitari catch!" and with that said, he threw the sword, and she caught it firmly in her hand. But even with a sword, she was still no match for him. Then, Mdjai raised his sword in the air, and that's when Kitari saw her chance. As soon as the sword came crashing down, she slid behind him, pulled his hair back, making him growl in pain, and drew Atem's sword over his throat.
/Atem's P.O.V/
I watched as Kitari sliced Mdjai's throat open, seeing liquid as red as my eyes pool on the ground from both Mdjai and Kitari. I froze in shock at the next thing that happened. Mdjai and Kitari were too close to the cliff, and with the last of Mdjai's strength, she shoved her off of the cliff. Luckily, she clung on to the edge.
I got up with all of my strength, and ran towards her. But before I could get within a horse-length to her…..the ledge collapsed.
"KITARI!" I screamed. I froze in horror when I saw her fall, and hit the ground with a large echo. Not hesitating, I ran to a steep opening in the ground. I kept running even though my lungs were burning for air.
I stopped.
I was frozen in fear at what I saw.
It was Kitari, the secret love of my life, laying there in a large pool of her own blood. She wasn't moving at all.
I ran over to her and knelt down beside her, ignoring the blood staining my knees and cape. My throat became dry when I took in the scent of fresh blood.
I held up her neck with my right hand and her bloodied back with my left hand.
She slowly opened up her eyes. I winced at their color. They were a dull, almost gray shade of blue. I remember when a gorgeous sapphire glow took place in her eyes.
"Kitari?" I whispered, hoping and praying that she would respond.
"….Atem?" she croaked. She narrowed her eyes at me, as if her vision was blurry. She gave me a crooked smile when she recognized me. Tears burned in my eyes. This never should have happened. She raised a fisted hand and the next thing she said broke my heart.
"A-Atem…Please…Take…This." She un-fisted her hand, showing the Lunar Amulet, which was dangling from her hand.
"Kitari…What are you saying?!" I pleaded. She raised her other hand up, and put it on my neck. She pulled herself up, and kissed my cheek. Just like she did when we were children. She laughed, but it was a pain-filled one.
"You haven't …changed a… bit…Always… protecting me..." With that said she wrapped both arms around my neck, while mine hugged her back. Tears ran down my cheeks like rivers.
"N-no m-m-matter… what h-happens, you…must d-defeat z-Zorc." She choked up blood over my shoulder. She's badly injured…wait…maybe I can still save her! Maybe I can get her back to the palace!
"No Kitari, I can get you back to the palace, we'll heal you!"
"I…wouldn't make it in…time."
"…Why did you come and save me, Kitari? Why did you chose to help me?" Kitari placed a hand on my cheek, using her thumb to wipe away my tears.
"A...Atem…Ra chose this…Path for me."
Her eyes started to cloud over, tears filling them too.
"Kitari, you must stay with me! I will get you back to the palace. And Isis will heal you!" I begged. I imagined how weak I looked, begging her to stay alive.
"N-No…No hope…I love….."
She became limp, and her arms fell from my neck.
"No…"
/Kitari's P.O.V/
Darkness was nipping at the edges of my vision.
'No! I must tell him! Why now? Why now, Ra?'
"N-No…No hope…I love….."
I lost control of my body, letting the darkness consume my sight.
Too late.
I looked at Atem through my spirit form. I walked over to him. My Lunar Amulet was glowing, and my body was dissipating. I felt my spirit taking it with it as well. I placed a hand on his tear-streaked cheek.
"I'm so sorry. I love you Atem. But I can only hope that I'll see you in another life…In another time… "
He was strong. He could defeat my Brother-in-law.
