Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Spiritual Awakening ❯ Chapter 3 ( Chapter 3 )
[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Hello minna!
This chapter explains a bit about Karoma's past. None of this is actually factual (actually based on how the the series or the mangas actually went) so don't even ask. It's all a product of my warped imagination! ;)
I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh or InuYasha!
Now on to the story..................
Spiritual Awakening
Part III
Atemu?!?!
Karoma?!?
"By Ra!" Karoma whispered. Concentrating for a moment, her form became more solid. She than moved forward embracing Atemu. Atemu returned the embrace then pushed her back, still holding her by the shoulders.
"How?"
Karoma smiled, "It is a long story my cousin, one that I will explain shortly."
InuYasha was looking back and forth from Kagome in his arms to her double standing next to the pharaoh, his mouth hanging slightly open. The others in the room didn't look much better. Yugi was the first to speak, well, at least a part of Yugi.
*growl*
Yugi blushed as chuckles echoed throughout the room, lightening the mood. "Gomen minna." Atemu walked over to his hikari and put his arm around his shoulders. "Well, I think my aibou has decided for us all. Let's head back to the gameshop and grab something to eat, then Karoma can explain everything." Mutual nods and okays echoed throughout the room when suddenly Bakura spoke up.
"Hey princess..."
"Tomb robber?" Karoma turned towards him, an eyebrow raised. Bakura muttered something under his breath about it "running in the family" that got him elbowed by his hikari.
"You might want to change." Bakura explained. Karoma looked down at herself then nodded. She was likely to draw attention to herself dressed as she was. Within a flash of light, Karoma disappeared into the bracelet, then reappeared dressed identically to Kagome. Luckily Kagome was wearing jeans and a lavender blouse and not her normal school uniform. InuYasha groaned, rubbing his temples. Two Kagomes, just what he needed. All he knew was that the "sit" command had better not work for her too!

"Jii-chan, we're home!" Yugi called as everyone made their way into the Kame gameshop. Jii-chan greeted them as they entered, smiling a hello at Shadi, Isis, and Karoma. Yugi, Ryou, and Jii-chan all sat to work in the kitchen and soon food was sat infront of everyone. Once that had been taken care of, everyone piled into the front room, making themselves comfortable on couches, chairs, and the floor. Introductions were made then all eyes turned towards Karoma.
Karoma closed her eyes, bringing memories forward that she would have rather not. "It all started just after Atemu's spirit was put into the sennen puzzle. Seth took over for awhile and surprisingly, he ruled justly and fairly."
Atemu's eyebrow raised as Karoma let out a soft giggle, "I think Jono had something to do with it, though Seth was never one to admit it. Anyways, all was well until HE showed up."
"Who's he?" Yugi asked, crawling over to settle into his yami's lap. Atemu's arms settled comfortably around Yugi's waist as they all waited for Karoma to continue her story.
"Pasekhonsu." Karoma continued, "He was a tyrant. Seth didn't stand a chance against him or his followers and was quickly overthrown. Anyone that opposed him was quickly put to death. Jono, Simon, and Teana died trying to help."
Atemu and Bakura let out soft growls as Karoma wiped a few tears away. Kagome rose and went to sit beside the female yami, wrapping her arms around her in a comforting hug. Placing a hand on Kagome's arm, she continued, "Once he was in power, Pakekhonsu came to me, asking me to become his bride and to bare him an heir. When I refused him, he brought my mother and father forth and had them killed right before my eyes."
"Bastard." InuYasha growled. Kagome, Yugi, Isis, and Ryou had tears streaming down their faces while the others just looked absolutely furious.
"If I would have known...." Atemu began. Karoma just shook her head, "You had other responsibilities and no one could have known that it was going to happen."
"So how were you able to escape?"" Ryou asked. A small smile appeared on Karoma's face, "Seth."
"Seth?!?!?"
"Yes. He didn't want to see the same thing happen to me that had happened to the others nor did he want to see me as a bride for Pasekhonsu, so he searched and found a spell."
"The same spell used for the sennen items." Isis supplied as Karoma nodded. "My body would perish but my spirit would remain, sealed inside of the bracelet. So, on the night of the next full moon, we performed the spell. I still have the dagger we used." Concentrating, a small golden dagger appeared in Karoma's hands. Around the handle of the dagger, two dragons were entertwined, one suspiciously looking like the blue eyes white dragon while the other looked like the red eyes black dragon.
"It was a present from Seth and Jono, before everything happened." The others all gathered around, passing the dagger carefully between each other, "It's beautiful." Shadi commented.
"And worth quite a penny." Bakura grinned, getting him an elbow in the ribs from Ryou. Once the dagger was back in Karoma's possession, she continued.
"I plunged the dagger into my chest as Seth performed the spell. I've been sealed inside of the bracelet ever since, well, until Kagome donned the bracelet that is." Karoma smiled gently at Kagome, "Thank you."
Kagome nodded, a smile appearing on her face as well, "You're very welcome."
"So have you tried the mind-link yet?" Yugi grinned. Karoma shook her head as Kagome just looked confused, "Mind-link?"
//He's talking about this, my hikari.//
Kagome just blinked, her mouth dropping open, "How....?"
All of the yamis and hikaris let out a laugh at that. "It takes a bit to get used to." Ryou explained, "All you have to do is concentrate your thoughts on your yami and you'll be able to communicate with them."
/Like this?/ Kagome experimented.
//I think you've got it.// Karoma smiled, squeezing her aibou's hand. Kagome just nodded, this was definitely going to take some getting used to.
"Well, we know what happened to Seth afterwards, but what happened to Pasekhonsu?" Atemu asked, turning towards his cousin. Karoma just shook her head, "I'm not really sure.....you know what happened to Seth?"
"Seth was reincarnated into Seto Kaiba." Atemu explained, "I'm sure you'll see him around."
"But if Seth was reincarnated......." InuYasha started.
"Wouldn't Pasekhonsu be as well?" Kagome finished. Both met each other's eyes and frowned. They had had enough trouble already with incarnations. Isis and Shadi both nodded, "That could explain why the bracelet was found." Shadi explained.
"Do you think he'll try to take over, the same way he did with Egypt?" Yugi asked. Shadi nodded solemnly. "I believe he may try."
"So we have another psycho hell-bent on trying to take over the world." Atemu sighed. There was a pregnant pause, then suddenly.....
"Why's everyone looking at me?!?!" Bakura scowled as everyone else in the room burst out in laughter.
Yugi shrugged and then smiled, "Oh well, here we go again!"
