Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Loop Hole of Love ❯ Sanity Left Over ( Chapter 27 )

Sanity Left Over

I watched as handsome Seto, came across the clearing at stared at me with a grimace.

"You are you and what have you done to me?!" he shouted and I was taken aback a little.

"He also has paid penance, for his soul is eternally locked with Yami's" Bakura said, his eyes shadowed with thought.

I felt a warm presence behind my back, and felt as Mateo put his arms around me. I would like to have said in protection, and partly it was, but also it was more for security.

He entangled his arms around me, and I knew I was the only one he remotely knew or could trust in this enviroment and he needed comfort. His touch had nothing to do with sex, only comfort.

I let him huddle around me and snarl at everyone else.

"Time and time again Avari, you have tamed yet another man" Bakura said with no humor in his voice but a wistful longing, that was not like Bakura at all.

"What is going on here guys?! First this weird chick shows up, then freakin Seto Kiaba! And Yug is over there in shell shock or somethin!" the loud blonde boy said, wildly waving his arms about.

"What has happened to everything Bakura?" I whispered.

"You left....this is many hunreds of years in the future love" he said with a sad wistful smile on his face that made my heart break just a little.

I let Mateo go and walked to Bakura, putting a hand on his face, I couldn't even look in his eyes, so deep my apologetic sorrow.

He leaned his forehead into my hand until I was cradiling his smooth face and my hand brushed against white downy hair.

I put my other hand around his neck and pulled him into me. I was embracing him fiercley and Bakura was all but crushing me against himself. I buried my face into his neck and inhaled and let out a bitter sob. I

I felt so weak, and I hated it, hated myself. Still hated a little bit of Pharaoh. Just hated.

I looked from under Bakura's white hair and saw Pharaoh, standing there, like a complete vegatable, just staring without any comprehension. A tear leaked through my eye, and I watched Seto, completely, and utterly dumb, to anything that Bakura and myself were talking about.

It was unfair...all of it.

My heart was breaking and they didn't, no, couldn't understand, and they were standing right here, in some Ra forsaken time-warped city! Staring at me...

"You must set things straight now my little one" Bakura whispered to me.

"What do you mean Bakura?" I asked softly.

"How? How do I change things? Can I get a break? Just a little one...to sort my emotions? Please?" I said against his warm skin, the last part a litle pathetic.

"I am afraid not...you must be brave...you are our light in this hour of darkness Avari...guide us" he said ominously to me, and pulled away to look me in the eye.

He then spun me around to be facing the others, and he put an arm around my waste and one around my throat, and leaned his head in a very weary way on my shoulder.

Here was a tall, beautiful man, and somehow I had managed to screw things up again....

"What must I do?" I said again, and his grip tightened.

"Monsters Avari...monsters are alive again after all these years...but we have no control over them, and it will destroy this none-magick world..." he answered.

"None-magick?" I questioned.

"Yes, none-magick, only you,and Pharaoh have alot of magick...myself and Seto either have not been able to awaken ours, ...or we have none left..." he said the last in a hiss.

"I have more magick than Yami...how is this possible?" I asked.

"He does not even know who he is! He has magick...but knows not how to use it...you must teach him...you must make him remember..." Bakura said feircely.

"Make him remember?" I said more to myself, and then noticed Mateo backing off in a corner, looking at Yami in hatred...he had not forgotten.

"Mateo...come to me" I said and offered a hand to him, in which with grace, and poise, he responded to and padded to my hand and bowed.

I took him by the chin, Bakura still holding on to me, and forced him to tand, as my equal.

"I never believed in slaves Mateo...servents perphaps but not slaves...you shall never bow to me." I said and his beautiful golden eyes looked into mine with a world of false promises, and back-stabbings.

"Trust me" I pleaded softly to him.

He looked at me then shook his head a great ease coming off him, and he looked alot younger in that moment.

"He does not remember Mateo...he does not know who he is...please do not hate him..." I said and he knew I was talking about Pharaoh.

"I will always hate him...for doing what he did...but if it pleases you I will just avoid him...Avari..." he said with resolution.

"It would please me greatly...if you would Mateo" I said with a weak smile that he returned.

"what is the meaning of this?!" I heard and angered voice say, and Seto, came up to me and jerked my arm, almost hard enough to dislocate it.

I would have expected, Bakura and/or Mateo to rise at this, and they did, but that's not what surprised me.

"Let her go..." a low voice, filled with protective fury said, and I had time to see a pair of shining purple eyes, before Seto was shoved off of me, leaving a hackle-raising Yami in his wake.

"How dare you man-handle me Yugi!" Seto said, and I had time to get in he middle of them before Yami's fist connected with Seto's jaw, and vice versa.

"Stop!" I commanded, and raised my arms out from my sides.

They both looked at me, and it was a long while before Seto backed away and into the metal bird, angrily.

"I WILL find out what is going on here!" he said, as the contraption rose in the air and he disappeared.

I stared after him a long while, and was so utterly depressed at everything that happened.

A smooth and soothing voice, woke me from my reverie, and I jerked to attention when I felt soft finger tips brush my arm tenatively.

"Are you hurt?" a deep voice siad and I turned my head and looked at Pharaoh.

I jerked away like i had been burned and almost regretted the action, when he flinched and his eyes fell to the ground, shadowed.

I couldn't....not after everything....the terror at thinking he was being tortured drove me to killing everyone in that room.. .

Why? why, did I still want to brighten that face?

"I am fine...you should not have gotten involved" I said and my tone was aloof.

"I-I felt the need to..protect you, I don't know what that means..." he said and I knew he was utterly confused at this point.

"Do not trouble yourself about it...I, no, we, must start to rebuild your memory...and fight these Monsters that threaten this world..." I said strongly, and everyone, who had been shocked into silence looked at me.

"B-but, from what I understand , y-your from ancient Egypt! How could you possibly want to help us, after everything that you have been through today?" the brown-haired girl, once named Tea, said to me.

I turned to her and gave her a watery smile...emotions strong in me...

"It's what will keep me sane at the moment.." I said.

Feeling flooded my systems, as did questions. And I pushed them all away...one by one, thrusting them into a deep cornor of my mind, and only thought of my new mission...

"Or whats left of my sanity...."
