(Hey guys! Thanks for the awesome comments and reviews! If you haven't noticed Kaiba's taking awhile to warm up to Bloom but you have to remember that Kaiba's never been very good with people. As for Bloom she still does have Sky. But not to worry I'm nowhere near finished! You may have noticed Daphne came up in the last chapter. This is set BEFORE the Sirenx season in Winx. So that being the case she is still a spirit. Hint Hint. The ending of Dark Dimensions in Yugioh also leaves the last scene open to interpretation. Thus enters the Millennium Puzzle. I present to you Chapter 6: Still Connected...)
Chapter 6: Still Connected...
The Millennium Puzzle gleamed with a brilliant glow as Kaiba had only witnessed when Yugi would change to challenge someone to a duel. But this was affecting more than just the puzzle it was calling out to his very soul. Bloom was giving off this power that he couldn't quite comprehend. Was she also related to Ancient Egypt? The redhead found herself completely immersed by the light as if it had grabbed a hold of her attempting to draw her into the object. "I-I can't move!" Bloom cried as she struggled to free herself. "SOMEONE! HELP!" the faerie pleaded before Kaiba could not longer just observe. "I'M COMMING BLOOM! HOLD ON! the blue eyes male called out as he ran towards her. Quickly he grabbed ahold of her. Kaiba's body illuminated a light blue as he yanked Bloom backward her gasping as she landed on top of him. "Thanks! I thought for sure I was going to be sucked into that thing!" Bloom cried. She could still feel her heart racing in her chest. "Are you alright?" "Yeah, I think so..." the redhead murmured. "Well, at least that's a relief..." Kaiba admitted with a heavy sigh. It almost came too soon as the Millennium Puzzle shot out a beam from the eye flying right past them. Kaiba nearly found himself speechless as did Bloom.
"W-What was that!?" Bloom questioned in a panic. Not that she wasn't used to seeing stuff like this but it was strange. Kaiba was hardly phased for a nonmagical being. Did he know something about that object? Whatever it was she was certain it had the most amazing power. What that power was, however, was something she did not. Maybe it was similar to the White Circle of the Earth faeries and held some kind of secret. She wished she could ask more but now was probably not the time. "...Bloom..." "Yes, Kaiba?" "...Now that you're fine can you please get off of me?" "Oh! Yeah sorry about that!" the redhead exclaimed and quickly got to her feet Kaiba following suit. Afterward, the blue eyed male walked over to the puzzle and gazed at it rather intensely. That unfortunately only caused Bloom to worry all the more. "Kaiba...is something wrong? Everything ok?" the redhead asked him softly. "...It's nothing..." the CEO muttered before he picked up the box he dropped and held it out to her. "Here change into this...I'll go get your VR Duel Disk system in the meantime..." "Yeah ok, thanks." Bloom murmured and gently accepted the clothing before she watched Kaiba walk away until she couldn't see him anymore. Kaiba stepped onto a platform a rose him up to the arena. Slowly the blue eyed male made his way to a glass case which held the very same gear he used against Yugi and Diva in their last duel.
"DAMN IT!" Kaiba spat as he slammed his fist beside it. (When will you get it through your head?! Atem is GONE Kaiba...He's not coming back...) Yugi's voice echoed in his head. "IF THAT'S THE TRUTH THEN WHY DO I FEEL DIFFERENTLY!? HOW LONG DO YOU PLAN TO HAUNT ME PHAROAH!?" the CEO screamed as loud as he could have to catch his breath using up nearly all the air in his lungs. Kaiba paused before he turned around and saw Bloom standing there with a look of sympathy on her face. Whatever he was going through or fighting he seemed to be doing it all by himself. That must've been so painful. Just the look in his eyes told her all she needed to know. "...Are you done staring?...If so then come on...we have a duel to start..." the CEO muttered before he took the VR duel disk system and snapped it abruptly onto her wrist and then walked into the arena. Bloom didn't say anything more as she followed him.
Meanwhile, Joey and Yugi were at his grandfather's house playing a game of their own. Just a basic round without any of the technology. Or they were until Yugi fell asleep from the heater along with Joey. Getting ready for college was no small task. It exhausted both of them not to mention it was pouring rain the thunder creating an ambiance of a different kind. Joey's loud snoring could have woken the dead even from a peaceful slumber. Yugi groaned as he tossed and turned as sweat beat down his face muttering in his sleep."No…don't…don't go…where…where...where are the pieces?!…have to…find…the pieces…" The blonde muttered frantically as he started to pick up the broken golden Millenium puzzle pieces that had been shattered within his nightmare. One after the other Yugi collected them but no matter how hard he tried to put them together they kept falling apart. Suddenly the pitch black cloak that enveloped Yugi was lit up with a golden light that shined in the shape of an eye.
Yugi gasped as he quickly shielded his eyes from the light before all of the pieces he had gathered slowly began to bond themselves piece after piece. "...Yugi..." a familiar voice echoed through the silence. Yugi gasped as he awoke with tears rimmed at his eyes. "...Wow...what a weird dream..." the blonde murmured before he gasped falling backward. Right in front of him was the Millenium puzzle. "...Yugi..." came the voice yet again. Slowly Yugi looked up as the remnant of the tears fell down his cheeks. "Atem..." Yugi whispered in shock before a smile gradually manifested on his face. The Pharoah offered his own as he nodded. "It's good to see you again...my friend..." "...Atem...but how...?" "...It would seem fate is not done with us yet Yugi...a darkness has awoken me from my slumber..."
So? How was it!? Rate And Review Please! And Maybe I'll write another chapter...
