Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Futatsu no Kehai ❯ Secrets Revealed ( Chapter 4 )

Chapter 4: Secrets Unveiled   This dark, cold place is where I have come...Seeking refuge in the darkness, consumed by sorrow and heartache. I let the darkness inside of me be my cloak, my protection from this cruel world, my comfort. Darkness. What a good friend it has been to me, I seek comfort in it often... My tears seemed lost in the darkness, all of my sorrow.

You've changed me. It wasn't good enough for you that I had found my happiness, so you took my life in your evil hands. Neferet, her smiling face glanced at me with open arms. Her smile soon faded as she sees me and grows further and further away. You never let me say good-bye. I hate you for that, Yugi. You ripped our lives apart. I hate you with the very depths of my putrid, evil, black heart and it consumes my every thought. You piece of shit! You bastard! I hate you all! I hate the very ground you walk on. You tortured my soul, my mind, and took away the very light in my life..

All my friends ... my lovers... turning from me one by one ... leaving me here... Alone... I suppose they cannot face the darkness that is me. But not one of them knows how empty my life is. How it feels to reach out for fire and feel no warmth from it. How it feels when your heart is so maddeningly slowly becomes a cold shiny crystal.

You have deceived me once more, but I'll avenge you, Neferet...Wait! Neferet is gone, but...Suzu still stays. I remember now! Neferet took Suzu's form, when we had sex...I may still have a part of her with me, if Suzu is pregnant, then I may have that hope, the one chance that Yugi cannot take away from me, the product of Neferet and I...our love...our intimacy and all we share. I have to find Suzu!

I went about the streets, following the same road I have when I was so deeply in love, though now the road looked so plain and dull, no longer a pathway to the one I so deeply had desired as I have in the past. I saw her, walking down the street and ran up to her. She seemed to transform in my eyes as Neferet, my eyes began to shine with the pain I felt.

I walked up to her..." Neferet..." It was the only thing I could say, or even think about, as I wrapped my arms around her; longing for that affectionate hug back, from the one that as now gone from my life.

"What are you doing? Who's Neferet? My name is Suzu, and why are you hugging me like you will die if our embrace is broken?" Suzu asked in question.

"You may not be Neferet, but she once inhabited that body of yours. She was my fiancé', we were destined to be married, until that bastard Yugi interfered and took her away once more.."

"I think you have the wrong girl, I don't know what you’re talking about, but you’re creeping me out, big time." Suzu said, pushing herself away from me. Why? Why push away? Neferet..I was never so hurt in my life; it was like I was being rejected by Neferet herself...

"Please,Suzu,let me explain what happened", I pleaded ."If you do not believe me, I will leave and never bother you again."

"Fine, but make it quick. I do not have all day."

"Up until a few hours ago, you shared your body with an ancient spirit, just as this boy shares his with me. Three millennia ago, I and the woman who lived inside of you were partners. Her name was Neferet. One night she was trapped inside a tomb and had no choice but to seal her soul into her millennium item."

I told her of the Millennium Items and their powers. "Two days ago we met again and I realized I still loved her. On that same night, we said our vows, and I think you might be carrying your child."

Suzu fainted and I caught her gently. I took her to her house, where I watched over her, as I had once done for Neferet.

While Suzu was unconscious, I released my control over Ryou. Bakura was shocked to find himself in the very same house from which he was thrown out yesterday.

"Well, I'd better leave before that girl wakes up and starts beat me to death with her shoes."

"Huh? My ring is glowing?" Bakura said, just as the spirit addressed him ."You cannot leave, Bakura. This girl's body you see hosted another being until recently. A being I knew long ago. Knew and loved. I met her again only two nights ago and we shared a night of passionate love. Love that created in this body lying on the bed a new life."

"But ... you are a spirit. How could it be? No!!! Tell me the child growing inside this woman is not mine!!!" yelled Bakura.

"Yes, Bakura. The child is yours, and you must help Suzu raise her."

"You shall name her..." the spirit tried to continue, but Bakura already collapsed on the floor.

"Argh!!! Wake you, you foolish mortal!!!" growled Yami, taking over the body of the boy once again. "This is no time to faint!" he yelled.

Suzu chose that exact moment to regain her consciousness. Noticing Bakura laying on the floor, she left the room, but soon returned with a bottle of ice cold water, which she preceded to splash in Bakura's face.

"Get off of my floor, you idiot. First you tell me I am pregnant with your child, and then you are the one fainting? Hmpf,some man you are!"shouted Suzu, hitting Bakura with now empty bottle.

"Ow. Please stop beating me up.OWW!!!.That hurts!!!"

"You think that hurts?",hissed Suzu, grabbing Bakura by the throat.

"Well, listen to this,you hentai. You are going to marry me and you are going to raise that child with me. Of course, you could always agree to spend the rest of your life in jail for rape."

"Fine, fine. I'll marry you. Just put me down. You do not want to be married to a dead guy, do you?"

So, fulfilling her promise, we soon wed. It was a small, private wedding and only our families attended, well Bakura's and Suzu's family, since mine was long gone.   TBC
