~Monarch of Egypt~

"Hah! You give up yet!?"
"Do I ever give up?!"
It was late in the evening. Meilin, Syaoran, Sakura and Tomoyo were all in Sakura's backyard. Tomoyo and Syaoran sat on the grass while Sakura helped Meilin with her swordsmanship skills with the help of the Sword Card, which made Sakura an expert swordswoman. But...even with the mystical enhancement of the Sword Card, she still struggled against Meilin.
Sakura thrust her sword at Meilin and Meilin quickly blocked it. She then twisted so that Sakura's sword went flying out of her hands. Sakura turned and watched it land on the far side of the yard before turning to Meilin. "Wow..."
Meilin smiled and wiped the sweat off of her forehead. "That was fun" she said heading for where Tomoyo and Syaoran sat.
"Fun for you" Tomoyo said. "You beat her four times in a half hour"
Meilin tried her best not to gloat, but it was hard. It felt so good to finally be better than Sakura at something. Sure, she and the girl were good friends, but it was tiring for her to always be looked at as second best in the athletics department. "I'm going to get some water" she said heading for the house, the others following her.
"She may have beaten me easily" Sakura said as she recalled the Sword Card. "But, I think she'd have a little more trouble with Syaoran"
"I don't know..." Tomoyo said. "I think Syaoran would be the one having the trouble, because he'd be to busy blushing over you" she giggled.
Syaoran looked at Tomoyo and shook his head. "Do you ever stop?" he asked.
"Nope!" she said happily.
"To be honset" Syaoran said, ignoring Tomoyo, "Sakura held out long than I would have in a sword fight with Meilin"
"What? Really?" Sakura asked in slight shock.
"Meilin, you must've practiced at this for a while" Tomoyo said as Meilin poured her a glass of water.
"That's the funny thing" Meilin said before taking a drink of water "I never really practiced. I just... took to it. The sword felt natural"
"Oh..." Sakura and Tomoyo said softly.
Suddenly, there was the sound of a car horn being honked and Tomoyo got up. "I have to go" she said getting her coat.
"Bye, Tomoyo-chan" Sakura called and Meilin, Syoaran and Kero waved as she left.

Tomoyo slid into the backseat of the limo and sighed. That strange dream was still haunting her mind. She looked down at the ankh that was around her neck and arched a brow. Did this have something to do with it? She was wearing it in the dream. She leaned her ead back and stared out the window. The questions were driving her insane. Who was that next to her? Why did all that stuff seem familiar?
~
Syaoran glanced at the clock and tapped Meilin. "It's 9:00. We should get home" he said even though he didn't want to. He really wanted to stay with Sakura until her brother and father got home.
Meilin saw this and decided she's be nice this time. "It's okay, I'll walk. You stay here"
Sakura turned to Meilin worried. "Are you sure? I could give you a ride with the Fly card" she offered "Or, Kero-chan could fly you"
"Do I have to?" Kero whined before shrinking back at Sakura's glare.
"No, thanks. I can walk" Meilin said as she headed for the door.
"But-" Sakura started but it was too late, she had already left the house.
~
Meilin hurried down the streets of Tomoeda, her hands in her pockets. Her hands were freezing as were her legs. She should have changed into a pair of pants instead of the red shorts and black tank-top and she should've worn a coat. But, it was nice and warm before. Maybe she should have gotten a ride with Tomoyo. She couldn't have asked Sakura since Syaoran wanted to be alone with her. She couldn't help but grimace. She still loved Syaoran with all of her heart, it was hard getting over someone you loved since you were a child. She sniffled and wiped her eyes when tears formed.
"You look a little down, honey?"
"Anything we can do to cheer you up?"
Meilin turned around and found a group of guys lingering in a dark alley, four of them. They had to be in their late teens. She quickly turned and continued to walk, she didn't want to have to crack any skulls tonight.
~
She'll be all right" Syaoran said. "She's tough"
"I know, but I still can't help worrying about my friends" she said and then sighed. "Kero-chan?"
"Hmm?" he asked through his third cup of pudding.
"Go follow her" she told him. "Just to make sure nothing happens to her and take your phone"
"Why? She'll be okay. I mean ... she has that face to scare off attackers"
"KERO-CHAN!!" Sakura yelled and he shrank back.
"All right, I'll go" he said in a tone that suggested he would rather put his head in a garbage tin.
"Thank you" she smiled, giggling when she heard him mumble something about having to follow Cruella Deville while she sat around and made out with the brat.
~
"Hey, cutie, you looking for work?"
Meilin's eyes popped. They thought she was a hooker!? She fought the urge to turn around and snap each of their necks and continued on her way. She was about to turn the corner when she felt a hand grab her wrist and jerk her around into the alley. "What the Hell do you jerks want?" she growled.
"Ooh. Baby, you shouldn't be so mean" said the one who had her wrist, obviously the leader of the little group, he was tall with cold blue eyes and dirty blond hair, with emphasis on the word "dirty" and wearing a black bandana around his head.
"We just wanna be your friends.." the other one, short, red-haired and pimply leered at her.
Meilin's mouth curled up in disgust when she smelt the whiskey on all of their breaths. She moved her hand toward her waist to reach for her sword and paled. Shit... I left it at Sakura's house! She decided she would just try to get away from the punks.
"I have plenty of friends" she said jerking her wrist out of his grasp. She tried to leave when she felt a pair of arms seize her by the waist from behind. "Let me go!"
"So, are you just cold or are you happy to see us?" the other one asked and his cronies laughed. She felt a hand squeeze her rear.
That was the last straw.
She quickly drew her foot up and kicked their leader in the mouth, sending him flying backwards, she then reared her head back and butted the one who held her, causing him to let go. The other two tried to grab her and were met with fists to the mouth. She then turned and started to run when she was thrown to the ground by a tremendous weight atop her. She turned her head, one of those punks had body-slammed her to the pavement and was now pinning her down.
"You little bitch! You will pay for that!" the one on top of her growled. "Hold this skank!"
The one atop her lifted up momentarily and flipped her onto her back. He reared his hand back and slapped her across the face. Meilin tried to get free but couldn't, the others were holding down her arms and legs.
"You bastards! Let me go!" she screamed, squirming frantically to get free.
"Shut up, bitch!" the leader growled before slapping her across the face and then, to add insult to injury, giving her a long passionate kiss on the mouth.
Meilin felt her stomach churn with nausea when she felt his rancid mouth atop hers. How dare this disgusting piece of garbage kiss her! She could tell by the intensity and fury of his kiss what he had in mind for her. If only she could get loose. She felt the grip on her ankle from one of those thugs start to loosen. She yanked her ankle back and kicked the one who had helt it square in the jaw, she then yanked her wrist free of the other and socked the one who had her in the nose. The leader tried to slap her again but this time she caught his wrist and twisted it until he rolled off of her in pain. She quickly got to her feet and took off down the street.
She managed to get a few yards when she felt a hand grab her shirt from behind. She growled in rage. That was it! They were about to die! She quickly shifted her weight to her left foot, span and kicked the one who grabbed her square in the neck. She then kicked the red-head in his groin when he ran towards her. She saw the third one coming, a brunette boy, he had his fist reared back, prepared to punch her, but when he thrust it foreward, she caught it and squeezed, hearing the sound of knuckles and bone cracking as he dropped to the pavement in agony. She sighed and was about to turn and leave when she saw a flash of wood before star exploded in front of her eyes.
"Fuckin' bitch"
Meilin was now lying on the pavement while the leader of the group held a two-by-four in his good hand. He had to admit. The little whore was pretty tough. But, not tough enough if she couldn't see that coming. He smiled evilly. Now it was time to have a little fun...
"How pathetic you are"
The leader looked up when he heard a voice just as his boys were beginning to recover. There was a figure in the darkness. "You just gonna stand there like a punk?" he growled at the stranger but when he did show himself, he kind of wished he hadn't.
The one who had came out of the darkness didn't look like much. They could probably all take him, but it was something about him that made him uneasy. It was the look in his eyes and the creepy scowl he wore on his face.
"How pathetic you are" he repeated again coming closer to him until they were at least two feet apart. "Attacking a girl. About to rape her, were you? Only because you know that you would never have a chance to actually have her willingly"
"Shut up! I can get as many girls as I want whenever I want!" the leader of the group growled. This little punk was really starting to tick him off. "And after we're done with her, we'll kick your ass!"
The stranger arched a brow and his scowl twisted into a smirk. "I hardly think so"
"Um... boss... what's with that creepy necklace he's wearin'?" the red-head asked. "It's glowing?
"I don't know. But it's gold. Let's snag it from him!"
He reached for the golden necklace around his neck, but when he touched it, it burned him. "Ahh! Shit!" he cursed and the stranger laughed loudly.
"Do you really think your pathetic hands could ever touch this?" he smirked.
~
Kero-chan flew as fast as he could to find Meilin. He had to sniff her out since she had no magical energy for him to sense. He heard the sounds of cursing and then the sound of a fight going on and automatically knew someone had made the mistake of provoking her. He wasn't too worried at first, he knew Meilin could handle herself very well. But, then he sensed something. A strong magical force, ancient and very dark. He used his tail to press the speed dial button on his phone for Meilin's number but she wasn't picking up.
"Man... I hope the little brat isn't in too much trouble" he said to himself as he turned the corner towards the source. He then pressed the speed dial button for Sakura's number.
~
Back at the Kinomoto residence, Sakura and Syaoran were on the coouch, his hands in her hair, hers around his shoulders, their lips locked ina long tender kiss. Sakura bagen to move her mouth from his lips to his neck when suddenly her cell phone rang.
"Urgh..." Syaoran groaned in disappointment as Sakura sighed and answered the phone.
"Hello?" she asked.
"Sakura, it's me" the voice said on the other line. "We got problems"
"What? Is it Meilin? Is she all right?" Sakura asked worried.
"I don't know. I heard fighting and then I sensed this dark magic force. It's right where she is, I think"
"Okay. I'm on my way" Sakura said hanging up the phone. "Syaoran, Meilin ight be in trouble. Kero-chan said he sensed this dark magic right near where Meilin might be"
Syaoran quickly forgot his disappointment and grabbed the sword Meilin had left. "We'd better hurry" he said as Sakura released the Fly card and he and Sakura both sprouted wings, hers pink and his were a sort of pale green.
"Let's go" she called as she flew out of the window with him following.
~
"Now... I'll give you a choice. You can go now, and leave the girl alone. Or... you can see exactly the cards fate will deal for you if you don't go now"
"Um... I think we should go" the brunette said shakily.
"Yeah, I think he's a warlock or somethin'!" the red-head said backing up.
"Um..." the leader stammered and then smirked. "We'll let you and this slut off easy this time" he said before he and his cronies took off down the street.He watched them run off before bending down on his knee and gently shaking the girl. "Wake up. Can you hear me?"
Meilin opened her eyes and instantly shut them when she felt a sharp throbbing pain in her head. What had happened? It was all so fuzzy... Oh. Those bastards had hit her with a two-by-four! She was going to kill them! As soon as the world stopped spinning...
"I'll rip there heads off..." she asked weakly as the stranger helped her sit up.
"If you wish" he said as he helped her stand. "But first you should see a doctor"
"Why...? It's just a... little... bump" she said rubbing her head. She turned and looked at the one who saved her. He was tall, he looked to be around sixteen. He had long white hair and deep, cold red eyes.
"You... got rid of them?" she asked.
He nodded.
"Thank you"
"Just be more careful" he said and then glanced behind him. "I must go"
"Okay..." she said closing her eyes and wincing at the sharp pain in her head. "Oh, my name's Mei-" when she looked up again she saw that he was gone. She looked around but he was nowhere to be seen. "Weird..."
"Meilin!"
Meilin looked up when she saw Kero-chan flying towards her. "Oh... hi"
"Meilin, what happened?" he asked when he saw the blood trickling down her head and the bruises on her face.
"Meilin! Oh, my God!"
Meilin looked up and saw Sakura and Syaoran land next to them. She was caught off-gaurd when Sakura suddenly wrapped her arms around her in a hug. "What happened?"
"A bunch of thugs..." she said weakly. "I need to lie down"
"Okay, we'll take you home" Sakura said and Kero-chan changed into Cerebus. "Get on his back"
"Can you hold on?" Cerebus asked and she nodded.
"Yeah, I'm good" she said and he took off with Sakura and Syaoran flying at his side.
Meilin glanced behind her at the streets below. She could help thinking about that guy who saved her. Where'd he come from? Who was he? And why... did she feel like she knew him?
TBC
A/N: Hmm... now let's see. Let me guess the questions... What was Yami Bakura doing in Tomoeda? Who is he to Meilin? What was with that whole dream in the last chapter with Tomoyo? The answers are not yet to be had...
Yugi: C'mon! Tell us!
