Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Futatsu no Kehai ❯ Confrontation With The Past ( Chapter 2 )

Chapter 2: Confrontation With The Past   Bakura woke up a look of shock came over his face. He looked under the covers and found out he had no clothes on.

"What have I done?" he said. He looked over at Suzu, who slept soundly. Bakura tried to inch his way out of the bed. Suzu woke up with the Scepter in her hand. She looked over at Bakura with a look of total shock.

"Who are you and what are you doing in my house?!!" Suzu yelled.

“I have no idea. I do not know how I got here. " Bakura said, making himself look like a complete fool, while I lurked inside of Bakura, seeming rather calm and laughing silently from within the Millennium Ring as Bakura continued to seem more and more idiotic.

Bakura stood up out of bed and Suzu yelled and covered her eyes. " GO AWAY AND GET SOME CLOTHES ON!" She yelled. As Bakura got his pants on she began throwing things at him. Bakura grabbed his shirt and shoes and ran out of the house, breathing heavily and being a bit freaked out and in bewilderment at what exactly he has done.

Bakura sees Yugi and the gang. They walk up to him with confused looks on their faces.

"Hey Bakura what’s wrong?" Little Yugi asked.

"Yeah, " Joey added. " Ya look like you got ran over by a car."

"Oh, Yugi", Bakura said,"Could you let the spirit take over? I need his advice."

"Yugi, could I talk to the spirit?", panted out Bakura. "Alone..."

"Uhh... sure, I guess.” Replied Yugi, genuinely puzzled by Bakura's request and tried to awaken the spirit from his slumber, while Tea drug away Joey and Tristan.

"Yes, Bakura", sounded calm, strong voice,"What is it you want me to help you with?"

"U-u-um.. I was just in that house ... in bed n-n-naked.. and there was a girl next to me",stuttered Bakura, overwhelmed by panic. "And I have no recollection of last night. Help me, Spirit!!!" Bakura looked almost hysterical now.

"Do not worry, Bakura",said Yami, putting his hand on Bakura's shoulder, serenity and confidence spreading from him,"I will clear this up. Now which house did you say it was? This one? "

"Yes. What's wrong?" asked Bakura seeing Yami frown.

"I feel a powerful energy inside. An ancient and powerful being. A being that is somehow connected to you, Bakura."

"To me? But I have never met that girl until today!?"

"Well, it appears we have another mystery on our hands. One we must solve fast, for I also sense great malice and danger emitted by something inside this abode. Something or someone."

Yami Yugi opened the door and stepped into the foyer. The house was lavishly decorated, its design imitating that of an ancient Egyptian tomb:a carving of Anubis above the doorway through which Yami just entered, sacred scarabs on all walls, countless paintings of Ra, Osiris, Isis,...Set, Thoth. A terrible suspicion slowly crept into his soul. Carefully, Yami stepped into the next room. Something was wrong with this house. It seemed strangely devoid of any human presence. No voices to be heard, no personal belongings laying around. Nothing to suggest anyone ever lived here. Just heavy, chilling silence, as if this dwelling truly was a crypt. Suddenly, he felt something beckoning, some mystical energy he has felt in the past.

"No ... no... no",whispered Yami as he walked past five or six rooms. Then he stopped and, after a second of hesitation, entered.

Could it be? Another millennium item right here, in Domino? I have never even heard about this one before.

The ancient pharaoh was too engaged in his thoughts to hear quiet steps.

"Reveal your name, shameless intruder, or suffer my wrath!!!" sounded inside Yami's mind, striking him like a lightning bolt from the clear sky.

Yami looked up, his mental defenses raising an impenetrable shield, to see an astonishingly beautiful woman, whose whole being gave off an intense wave of power and hatred. A red beam shot out of the millennium scepter, racing to destroy its target, only to be intercepted by a dark blue one originating from Yugi's millennium puzzle. Yami and Neferet stood facing each other, their minds locked in a terrifying battle, neither one willing to back down. The whole room was now filled with multi colored streaks of energy. Always moving, taking different shapes, facing new opponents.

Finally, Neferet began to weaken. Yugi, now certain of his victory, reached for the millennium scepter, just as I appeared behind him. Then everything was lost in a blinding flash of white.

In the street... Slowly, Yugi opened his eyes. Someone was bending over him.

"Yugi, are you all right?", asked familiar voice.

"Bakura? What happened? Where am I ? " said Yugi, looking wildly around. " I remember talking to you, but nothing after that." "I remember you entering this house. You were gone for a very long time, so I decided to go after you. Next thing I know, I am sitting here, you are next to me, unconscious. Do you really not remember anything at all? Perhaps we should return to your grandpa's shop", replied concerned Bakura.

At the turtle Tea, Tristan and Joey are waiting. Tea' was beginning to look very concerned and asked Joey and Tristan to help look for Yugi, since he had not returned yet. As they were leaving, little Yugi came up to them and told them what had happened.

"I have to go back to that house; I have to know what ancient powers lurk within it. But I suppose it is getting a little late, I'll have to go to the house tomorrow." Yugi implies, still wondering about the ancient being and the 8th item.

Tea' asks Yugi if she could spend the night with him, and Yugi filled with joy at the prospect of her staying the night said yes.

Meanwhile, when Bakura lay down to sleep once more, I awaken yet again and head off towards Neferet's house to see if she is all right. I decided to go in the front door this time. I entered and saw Neferet collapsed in the floor.

"Neferet!" I yelled, as I ran over to her. I gently rolled her over and caressed her in my arms. I held her head close to my own.

"Bakura..." I heard her say faintly as she slowly opened her eyes.

"Neferet!" I said with a look of concern. “What has he done to you? If he has harmed you in any way, I will reach into his chest, pull out his heart and feed it back to him. "

" Bakura....Thank you for coming to my rescue. I cannot let Yami take my scepter. I will disappear if he takes it. " Neferet said with a sad look. She seemed in pain, but I could see through her eyes, her pain was not a fear of becoming one of the pharaoh's items; it was a fear of leaving my side.

I picked her up and lay her in bed. I covered her up and sat in a chair nearby and watched over her.

"Bakura.." I finally heard her say. " I am hungry...”

"Don't worry. I'll get you something." I said as I headed off to the pantry for food. I made her some soup and took it back to her. She was weak; her powers had not been to full scale because her item lay dormant so long she never used her powers. She could not eat on her own, so I fed her a bit.

When she has had enough, I sat there, gazing at her beauty.

"They want to kill me, to bind my spirit with their own... The pharaoh...he wants to take my soul, but you won't let him...Will you?" Neferet said as she held my hand tightly.

"Never," I said, putting my lips to her hand. A maniacal smile came over my face.

"We shall plan to steal that Millennium Puzzle, straight from that boy's hands, then, nothing will stop us from being together." I said as we began to plan our first offensive against Yugi and the pharaoh hidden deep in his Millennium Item.

That's all for Ch.2. Ch.3 will soon be coming…
