Yuna's POV
There was sneering and shouting and cries all over the place. At first I thought I wAs on some stage, then I saw that it's not a stage, but a platform where they burnt 'witches' in the 15th century. It looks like Britain, so this must be the old english town.
Good. I figured out when and where I was. I just need to know what is going on.
Just then, guards brought out a girl with long, brown hair and beautiful eyes the colour of he morning sky. She was very pretty, but almost all attending this stake burning were screaming at her how she was the cause of their misery. They tied her up and a priest started reading her 'sins' to the people, raising their hate for the woman.
I then heard her name. Janne d'Arc. The French general that claimed that she saw visions of the archangel Michael and heard the voice of God; who was abandoned by the country she fought for. The only ones that were there to try and save her were her men, but she was still burned on the stake in front of them after she was captured and trailed. She was responsible for many victories over the English, her connection with God and the head archangel giving her people and soldiers hope, raising the moral of the king himself. But the fact still remains that despite all she did, no one helped her. She died at age of nineteen.
They have just lit the fire. Janne wasn't scared, wasn't begging for her life, but stood in the middle of the fire that will take her life and looked at the sky. This continues for a couple of minutes when all of a sudden there can be heard yells of commands to save Janne. I look around and see twenty men running towards the fire or fighting the guards. My face lit up. They must be Janne's men! But only one made it to the stake and he looked lovingly at her. I have heard of rumours that Janne had a lover but that they never took the final step in their relationship and she died a virgin. Most people dismissed it. I now know the truth.
So,this is the legendary Claude. He had long raven black hair and eyes a majestic brown color. He was caught before he made it to the stake but was soon freed by his comrades and they took a step towards Janne to save her, when she looked down to them and I saw her eyes take a peaceful look as she said:" My friends, my love... do not step closer, or you will hurt yourselves. My time has come, and Our Father wishes me to join him. Do not fret, for I will always be with you, I shall always protect you. But you must protect our France and to do this you must live. I can see the archangel Michael here to help me to my final resting place. We will meet again but until then live long lives and if not for yourself then because I command it as my last task for you! "
Her men cried, saluting her, but before the fire consumed her Claude yelled :" I will forever love you, my Janne.! Wait for me in Heaven! "
"I am yours as you are mine! I shall wait for you my love! " and then the fire burned her, but she did not scream. Soon I felt that same fire consuming me.
I woke up with a jerk,seeing that I am in my own room, back at the game shop our grandfather ran. The last thing I remember of my waking hours was sitting in front of a piano and playing, then a loud noise and then all of it was black. I guess the vision happened in school but someone woke me from it and the effects of it put me in the dangerous place between sleep and death. This happened twice before, and the second time I almost died.
The first time I was very little and no one knew what would happen. I always had these dreams or memories of other people's lives and most of them are not pleasent. So when I was having a 'nightmare' Yugi woke me up and I was asleep with a high fever and coughing as well as difficulties with breathing that the doctors said that I am going to die, but I woke up five days later. They decided to never forcefully wake me up ever again.
The second time I was kidnapped and my captors woke me while I was writing the story that went with the picture I had just drawn. I have been in a comalike state with many side effects for a month.
I have always felt guilty for having the ability to see the past, but my parents said that it is my gift and burden, so I should make the best of it. I knew people would think of it as cheating and so did I, because it didn't just show me the events but gave me hints of where to find proof. I will always have an advantage over the rest of the historians and it makes me feel bad. My mother said that it takes intelligence to understand the hints and to remember everything. But I cannot forget the dreams because I felt them. If I was dreaming that someone is drowning, I have trouble breathing. If I dream of someone burning, like I just did, I get a burn on the same place as the person in the vision was first touched by the fire and so on and so forth.
I then see Yugi, asleep at the desk, probably doing homework. I just laugh gently, then got up and woke him up.
Yugi's POV
When I heard my sister's warm voice, I immediately jumped on her in a happy hug. She just giggled and returns it with much affection. I am so happy that she finally wokeup.
The last three days were the toughest ever. Usually, her symptoms are not that bad, but now they were one hell of a headache. It's good that she didn't have breathing problems, but the burns obviously show that she saw fire.
In school, everyone wanted to know about this, and asked me at the very least 126 times a day. I have only been saved by Taro, Samantha, John and Kaiba. He is a lot more mature then I thought, a bit like Yuna. I even broke down crying in front of them once, because I was afraid of losing my sister.
I am extremely happy to see her awake now and as I tell her all the things that happened, I see that she will be alright.
Seto's POV
It's been three days since Yuna passed out and if she doesn't come tomorrow I'm going to have a mental brake down! I'm so frustrated with never getting the information about her real condition and Gozaboro started noticing. This is driving me crazy!
In the meantime, I went with Gozaboro and Mokuba to a business meeting with a lot of other companies present. He, there, introduced me as a genius and the creator of many different things for Kaiba Corp., including its new security software. Some man, Mr. Schroder I think, introduced his son as a computer genius, I think his name was Siegfried, and then started bragging about how they are singing a contract with some company only to look bitter when Gozaboro said that Kaiba Corp . already has a contract with them, but I was preoccupied, even for my brother who is clinging to me, with thousands of thoughts of Yuna that I almost missed what the pink haired freak said:" It's a little boring, don't you think? " he asked in a heavy german accent and I nodded. He continued:" Well, it will be fun in a few moments! " he said with a grin and suddenly all the lights started flickering. Gozaboro got enraged and his companion chided him for allowing a child to play with his main frame. Gozaboro looks questionlingly at me and I just nodded to him to reassure him. I then smirk in such a creepy way that the von Schroders take a step back from me. Gozaboro actually looked proud. The second I smirked the lights went back to normal and I just puff out my chest, pride radiating in waves off of me.
The message was clear.
My security software works.
I have made it with not three firewalls like usually done, but ten. I knew the instant I got the task that it must be done to perfection and so I worked on it for days. Yuna's bentos helped me a lot as well, because I could focus more with all the vitamin in my body. The best thing is that if the hackers virus makes it to the third wall, my software makes a harmless copy of it and makes a performance out of it, then everything goes back to normal while the hacker gets a 'surprise'. Gozaboro has been quite pleased with it, but now I saw that he actually, FINALLY accepts the fact that I am a genius.
Of course, the other boy may be a computer genius, but people like that have no imagination. They think in the same terms as a computer, therefore their views on things are limited. I, on the other hand, am a gamer as well as a genius and have plenty of imagination .
But the best part is that I was able to exposed Siegfried and Gozaboro had thrown them out.
And now I'm worried about Yuna again, when Yugi walks in, but he has ... Yuna ... with ... him?
YUNA! She is finally awake!
"YUNA!" Everyone yelled. Her fans quickly made their way to her and asked if she was finally better. Screaming her name like that probably wasn't the best idea, because seconds later Samantha, John and Taro ran in and asked her all the same questions as the students.
But Yuna soon broke her way through them and came to a stop in front of me. We looked each other in the eyes, quickly losing myself to the depths of crimson, and I moved without thinking.
I wrapped my arms around her and tugged her close, making sure to place her head on my chest and placing my chin on top of it. I gently tighten my hold on her. She stands still for a few seconds, then wrapped her own arms around my waist, nuzzling my chest in the process. I feel myself blush and bury my nose deeper into her magnificent hair.
"I'm glad you're back" I mumbled and then added :" I have missed you. No one worth my time here, but you. " and I meant it.
"I made you a bento, I imagine you must be starving by now. I have missed you as well" she replied with that beautiful, genuine smile and I felt my lips curl slightly upwards so only she can see it. The days from now on should have gone back to our routine, but I never thought that things would get this complicated.
