My Story 7

<Kira's POV>

'I don't care anymore, it's over if everyone and everything in this world is going to hate me then fine, I'll leave...forever.' My head was lowered and the pharaoh stood before me. 'I know Phera's never going to forgive me for doing this but what choice do I have. I don't...' "You can start by stopping this act." I looked up to see the pharaoh with my sword at his side. "What act? I'm not acting, I'm serious. I don't care anymore." I got up. "Nothing has changed in my life." I looked at him, straight in the eye. There was a moment in silence, then he spoke. "How could you do this to Phera?" 'Why is he so calm all of a sudden? This is one person I might never figure out.' I averted my gaze from him. "Why all of a sudden want to die Kira?" I gave him a sarcastic laugh. 'That has to be the stupidest question ever.' "Will you stop thinking to yourself and answer me? If you don't I'll..." "You'll what? Kill me? Go ahead no one is stopping you. I asked you to but you wouldn't and that's your probl..." There was a loud slap sound echoing throughout the forest. My left side of the face stung and burned at the same time.

"Don't ever talk like that in front of me, that's pathetic." "Well that's perfect for me huh? Since you think I'm so pathetic." He was rubbing his temples. 'Why is he doing this? I expected him to strike me through the heart, but this happens.' He looked at me. "I didn't strike you because of what Phera will say and think of me." "It's ok, just strike and I'll visit her in her dreams and tell her that you did it because I told you too."

<Yami's POV>

'Is this really what she wants, I mean she is still pretty young and has a daughter that loves her dearly.' I stood there helpless, I didn't know what to do. 'Should I just strike her or not?' I clutched her sword in my hand and stared at her. It was dark so I couldn't see her clearly, but from what I saw she had a lot of bruise marks and scars from the past. I ruined her face to toe, but I also notice that I didn't feel the hatred I had for her. 'Is this what you meant mother? Is a curse just a curse because you think it is or is it real no matter what you think?' 'Well just look at her and the answers will come to you...my son.' Her voice startled me. 'Mother." "Excuse me your highness, did you say mother?" I looked at her closely and saw that the scars and bruises were gone. "Your highness are you alright?" I dropped her sword. "I can't do it." "What?" I stared straight into her cerulean eyes. "I can't take your life yet, it's not my decision."

Her eyes widened. "I thought you were the pharaoh, it is your decision whether it is time for a person to leave this world or not. Are you sick?" "No, I'm not sick and yes I am the pharaoh but I don't think it time for you to leave." I picked up her sword and gave it back to her. She took it and asked, "Why are you doing this?" "Doing what?" "Nevermind." She turned around and suddenly stopped. "Kira?" There was no answer. "Kira?" I walked over to her, she was clutching her stomach. I looked at her face, tears came down, but she was glaring at something.

"Ahahahahaha....Kira you weakling. You can't even withstand a dagger!" She took the dagger out of her stomach, blood flowed freely. "Kira! We have to get you back an patch up that wound!" She wasn't listening. "KIRA!" "Oh! And look she brought reinforcement! What is it, you can't fight your own battles! This will end earlier than I thought."

<Kira's POV>

I can't believe I fell for that trick. "Shut your trap! I don't care what you throw at me I'll throw them back!" I was angry. 'She ruined my life and I know revenge will not solve anything, but this has gone too far. She hurt my father and my mother and she's going to pay.' "Oh your so courageous, just like your father! He would be so proud...only if he was here, but he's not because I've locked him up! Hahahaha..." My angry grew, but I kept calm. "How dare you lock up my father? He never did anything to you." "Oh but you see he did. He took my position as ArchAngel and had you, you pathetic mortal!" "Your wrong Kira is not a pathetic mortal! She's a better person than you'll ever be! And I don't care how many curses you put on her, you'll never get me to betray her!"

I looked over at the pharaoh with wide eyes. 'What the heck just happened? Well I should be thankful he's not on her side or else I'd be in more trouble than I am now.' He smiled at me and I smiled back, just because. "Ugh! Please stop with the lubby-dubbby stuff. It's going to make me hurl." Then from the sky a voice came echoing through the forest. "FallenAngel Phera, your just jealous because you don't have anyone to talk to like they do!" "Watch your mouth! Who are you anyways?!" "Phera, you already forgot about me. Why I'm Kira's father."

'Yay! My father is here!' I was very happy to see my father. He came down next to me and the pharaoh. "Father! I'm so glad to see you again." "I am too Kira but let us take care of business first." He looked at the pharaoh then me.

The three of us fought relentlessly. FallenAngel knocked me down and was about to attack when...

<Yami's POV>

Kira was knocked down by Phera and she was about to strike. 'No way! Nobody can hurt her, nobody except me!' I threw a shadow ball at her and she backed away. I ran up to her and helped her up. "Are you ok?" I held her shoulders. "Awww, how cute? The little couple, hahahahahaha...!" That made me mad. 'We're not a couple. We were never a couple.' My third eye glowed very bright and ArchAngel was about to shoot a lightening arrow. We shot at the same time and with a loud scream Phera dissolved into nothingness.

I looked over at Kira, she seemed very disappointed. "Kira, what's wrong?" "I wanted to dissolve her to nothingness." She pouted. 'As much as I hate to admit, she looks cute when she pouts. Reminds me of Phera.' Then it turned into a smile, she turned to me and said, "Thank you very much your highness, I couldn't have done it without you." She turned her head towards the sky and shouted. "Thank you Father! I LOVE YOU!" 'Sometimes I wish those words were for me.' I sighed and went up to her. "Come on, lets go home, we need to patch you up." "I'm not the only one your highness." She looked at me. I looked at myself and saw quite a lot of cuts, but Kira had more and looks as if she was about to collapse. We helped each other get back to the palace.

When we got the lights were all out so I had to turn on the light. Suddenly...SURPRISE!, people jumped out of their hiding places. Kira got scared but I put an arm around her to reassure her. Phera came up to us. "Hey mother, father! Do you like the party I set up for you?" "What is it for?" "For defeating FallenAngel Phera!" Kira asked, "How did you know?" "Just a feeling, that's all, oh and some magic." Joey came up to and asked, "So umm...Yami, are you and Kira together yet?" Kira and I looked at each other then at Joey, "No!" We said in unison. "Sure all right, well enjoy the party, it's for you guys anyways." "Thank you, but we need to get changed." "Alright."

We went into our rooms and cleaned up and got dressed. When I came out, Kira came out also. She was wearing a simple white that people wear everyday, but she looked stunning. She looked at me. "Is there something sire?" I snapped. "Hmm...Oh...no, nothing's wrong. Let's go everyone's waiting." "Yes your majesty." When we arrived I went to talk with Joey, Seto and Bakura. Kira went her separate way.

"Hey Yami, I heard you were going to propose to Kira?" I looked over at Bakura and glared. "No, I'm not." "Yami, your 23 years old and you still don't have a wife. I think you should go for Kira. She's perfect for you." "How so?" "Well, one thing is that she is nothing like Tea, petite, beautiful eyes, nice curves, cute and the mother of Phera." I just looked at Seto. 'How dare he talk about Kira like that!?' He looked at me. "Well if you don't want her, I'll gladly get her off your hands." I glared at him, while I was twitching. "No you won't."

<Seto's POV>

I winked at Bakura. "Yeah Yami, or maybe I should ask her out myself. I have never seen a woman like her before." I could see the jealousy in his eyes. 'I knew it, he still loves her.' He started yelling at me and Bakura. "If you two go 3 ft near her I will personally see to it that I make your lives miserable!" Bakura looked at me and I looked at him back. I smirked, "So you do still love her. I knew it." He hit me on the head with his fist. BONK! A thin red line formed across his face. "Will you shush. If anyone heard that I'm not talking to any of you from this day forward!" "Oh look, he blushed." Bakura laughed in amusement.

I joined in, but after a few seconds I saw Kira going outside. Yami was furious, but I still told him. "Hey Yami, your future wife is leaving." "What?!" "Yeah, she just left through the front door." Bakura then said, "Maybe she didn't like the party or else got her feelings hurt because of the pharaoh."

<Yami's POV>

'Why is she leaving? Kira, don't leave...please.' I ran as fast as I could. I wasn't paying attention to those two goof balls. When I got out there Kira was just standing there. I went over to her. "Kira, why are you leaving so soon, the party just started?" She looked at me confused. "I wasn't leaving sire, I just needed air." "And you go to the front gate?" "There is nowhere else I can go." I thought, then I grabbed her hand. "Come with me." I pulled her to me and covered her eyes. "Your highness, may I ask a question?" "Proceed." "Why are you covering my eyes?" "You'll see." 'I don't think I ever showed Kira my garden, I hope she like it. My family worked really heard to keep this place a place of beauty.'

When we got there I let go of her eyes, then she gasped. "This place is very beautiful." "You like it?" "Yes very much your highness, why are you showing me such beauty, I'm merely a commoner to you or a slave." I was about to answer but then music echoed into the garden from the Great Hall. "My favorite song, I haven't heard this since I was a little child. My mother used to play it for me on Crystal." She said excitedly. "Whose Crystal?" "Oh, that's the name of the instrument my mother use to play." I smiled and went up to her. "Would you like to dance?"

<Kira's POV>

'Did he just ask me to dance with him?' My cheeks turned pink, but shook them off. "I'd love to sire." He held my hand and waist. We danced until the song was over. I was so caught up in the moment that I forgot about my oath. When the song was over, he leaned forward and captured my lips. My eyes widened. It was like this for a minute, when from the distance. "Mother! Father! Where are you?" Phera was coming close. The pharaoh quickly parted from my lips and took a few steps back, while I just stood there dumbfound. We felt very weird, I felt heat rise on my cheeks and saw that the pharaoh had turned his body the other way. "Mother, father, there you are?"

<Daughter Phera's POV>

'Why are they both facing in opposite direction?' "Mother, father, there you are? Come on inside, there's entertainment going on." "I'm coming." My father turned to me and walked over. "Aren't you coming in mother?" She shook her head. "I need some air." I looked at her for a moment and I knew why. "Oh okay, just come in, it's cold and I don't want you to get sick again." "Don't worry about me Phera, enjoy your party." My father and I headed inside.

<Yami's POV>

The heat on my cheeks went down and I was glad that it did. I didn't want certain people to think the wrong way. 'I wonder why Kira didn't want to come inside for entertainment? Maybe she knows it's boring or just weird...no, it's because of me. I didn't know what I was doing. I thought she liked it or it's just me or...maybe she's just sad about something or...maybe I should just ask Phera. I should have done that from the beginning.' "Phera, is there something wrong with Kira?" She looked at me and said, "She just needs to clear her head father, don't worry about it, she'll come in...eventually." "What is that suppose to mean?" "She might get lost in thought and stay there out there forever. She's been thinking a lot ever since she was little, you shouldn't be surprised if she's on guard sometimes, well maybe all the time." "Why does she do that?" "She's afraid of getting to close to a person." "Why?" "Well, it's obvious isn't it, whenever she gets close to someone she gets hurt or she hurts that someone. The only person she come close to is me, but still she's on her guard once in a while. "Kira has had a lot of issues in her life. I knew some, but not all of it.

<Kira's POV>

'What just happened? I've never been so shaken.' "Looks like you have a lot on your mind." I turned around in a defensive position. It was Seto. "Why aren't you inside?" "I needed some air." I replied, I put my guard down. He walked and stood next to me. "The sky seems clear tonight, don't you think Kira?" I looked up. "Yes, I do." "So what happened up in the mountains?" 'Should I tell him?...He knows, so why not.' "Well, I was doing my exercises when the pharaoh came and I asked him to kill me..." He looked at me. "You what!?" "I...asked him to kill me, but he didn't. Instead he started asking me ridiculous questions or something he would never say to me. I was very rude and he threatened, but I talked back anyway..." He was listening attentively. 'No one has really listened to me, like he does...' "Then he slapped me. Suddenly out of nowhere the FallenAngel appeared and the war broke out. Eventually we won." "I see, well I'm going inside. I'll see you in the morning." "Sleeping already?" "Yes, I'm not much of a party person, if you catch my drift." I nodded.

I could hear the music and the noisy voices die down. The moon shunned down on the city. I walked through the garden and a willow tree caught my eye. I went up to the tree, "This tree is very different from the other trees in this garden." I went closer and examined the leaves on the branch. "It's so soft, whoever grew it cared for it very much. It's very healthy and beautiful." For some reason I giggled as if I was still in my teens.

"Well, hello my dear, it's nice to see your enjoying my tree." I let go of the leaves and looked up. There was the former queen, the pharaoh's <Yami's> mother. She didn't look too happy. I quickly bowed. "I'm sorry your majesty, I didn't know this was your tree. I didn't mean any harm, honest, please forgive me." I was scared, my head was still lowered. She came up to me and simply said, "Don't ever come to this tree without permissions from your pharaoh, understand." "Yes, your highness." "Good, now leave and don't ever come back." I left.

I headed back into the palace, the lights were all out, everyone was asleep. I went into my room and closed the door, to my surprise Phera was sleeping on my bed. 'I guess she was waiting for me, I'm sorry Phera.' I kissed her forehead and left her there. I took out a spare blanket from underneath the bed and covered myself and slept on the ground.

<Yami's POV>

I was looking out the window and saw Kira going up to my mother's favorite tree. I was angry but I wanted to see what she was up to. Then I saw my mother talking to her, I kind of heard and she wasn't very happy with Kira. 'I guess I should ban Kira from the garden if it bothers my mother.' I heard her come in. I waited for a few minutes and checked up on her. She was sleeping on the ground, I looked over to the bed and saw Phera there. So I just let her be and went to bed as well.

Next morning I woke up early, so I decided to go to Kira's room, but as I got closer I heard them talking. "Phera, honey...uuhh...I know you don't like me going away all the time, but, ummm...I..."

<Daughter Phera's POV>

'Why is she doing this to me again? What about me? I don't care if father wants you gone mother. I want you to stay. Please stay...' Tears rushed down my cheeks, I could see my mother crying too. "I...have to...leave in a few days or until your father says so." "But Why?! Why do you always have to listen to my father!" "Because he's the pharaoh and I if disobey him, he'll...well I don't exactly don't know what he'll do, but he'll find someway to kick me out anyway. Phera please understand that your father get really uncomfortable when I'm around and you know that he will never really want me to stay unless there was a reason to..." "But you do! I need you! What about me?!" "Phera please, don't raise your voice you'll wake everyone." "I don't care! No one cares about what I think or what I want so why I care if everyone wakes up! Mother what I don't understand is that why do you always take father's side and not mine!" She came closer to me and wiped my tears. "I'm sorry, if I was taking your father's side more than yours Phera. I should have listened to you more, I'm sorry. Listen I'll make it up to you." "Okay." "You want to go up into the mountains with me this afternoon?" I nodded and climbed on her lap and hugged her. She put her arms around me, I asked her, "Why does father hate you so much mother? I think you and father look good together, not like the other ladies that father likes." I heard her laugh. "You think that because your my daughter. Why do you want me and your father to get together so badly?" "Because I want to be a family, I want to be like the other kids. They live with their real mother and their real father."

<Yami's POV>

I heard every single word. 'I guess I won't have to worry about...what am I saying, Phera wants to be with her real mother. (sigh) I guess I should have listened to her more.' I knocked. "Come in." I opened the door and saw Phera in Kira's arms. 'Why does she look like that?' It was as is Kira really was an angel from the Upper Kingdom. I went up to them. "What were you two talking about?" Kira let go of Phera and stood up. "Your highness, I told her that I would be leaving in a few days and I was wondering if..." "Stay." "I beg your pardon your highness?" I could feel heat rising on my cheeks. "I said stay." Phera came and tackled me down for a hug. "Really father! Can mother really stay here with us forever?!" I was still blushing and cleared my throat. "We'll see." "Father?" I turned to her. "Why are you blushing?" She gasped. "What?" She whispered into my ears. "Do you like mother?" My face turned red. She gasped again. "You do! You do! You do!"

She jumped around in circles. "Phera that is not how a daughter of mine should act!" She stopped and went up to Kira. "Mother, guess what?!" "What is it, Phera?" "Father..." "Ahmmmm....Phera breakfast is ready, go eat." She pouted. "I'll tell you later." And she gave Kira a kiss on the cheeks and left the room. It was only me and Kira in the room. My heart started to beat faster. "Your highness?" "Just call me Yami." "All right, Yami, ummm... About last night..." My face turned even redder. 'I forgot, I kissed her.' "When you kissed me. Why did you do it?" "Well...uuhhhmm...I don't know, it was just that moment. It reminded me of that night...when we....ummm...<blushing>..." "Oh." "Uhhh...yeah." There was silence for a few moments, then Kira said, "There are rumors that you will soon be having a ball for you to choose a wife again." "Why wasn't I notified?" "It's just a rumor, I think they'll tell you this afternoon, but I'm not sure." "Oh..." 'Another one, I don't want to do this again.' "Aren't you nervous?" "Why should I be?" "Guess not, well I would, all those people just staring at you waiting for to make your decision." "What part scares you?" "The staring mostly and I'm not good at talking in front of people." She blushed. 'She looks cute when she blushes. I never noticed, but she always wears pants or skirt with long sleeves. She's always covered head to toe. I wonder how she looks in a more revealing outfit.' I envisioned Kira in a sleeveless shirt with skirt.

"Ummm...Yami, you should really go..." "Why?" "You sound hungry." My stomach grumbled, that made me blush again. 'Why am I blushing so much?' "Are you going to go?" I looked at her for a moment, then I said, "Sure, come with me." "Oh no, I'm fine. I'm not..." "When I say come with me, you come with me, understand." She looked scared, but still nodded. "Good, now come with me." She obeyed.

<Kira's POV>

'The pharaoh has been acting weird lately, I wonder if his okay?' "I'm fine." I got scared, but remembered that he reads minds. 'I hate it when he does that.' "What did you say?" "Nothing, Yami." He stuck up his nose and let out a 'humph'. I giggled, 'Sometimes he acts so...I won't say, he's probably..' He swiftly turned around. "I act like what." "Nothing, I didn't say anything." "I know but you were thinking, tell me now or else..." "Or else what, you should know by now that doesn't scare me." He stared at me with a mean look, but I stared back just the same. He smirked, "You have a lot of guts to look at me like that Kira." I smirked back. "Thank you Yami, I'll take that as a compliment."

<Yami's POV>

'I never really noticed it, but she has beautiful eyes. They remind me of the sky or the sea when it is calm and sparkling.' I continued to stare, but my expression change and I started to blush. I didn't even bother to hide it this time, there was no way I could. Her expression changed too. 'I wonder what she's thinking about?' I went into her mind and...

Nope! No mistake here, I purposely stopped it at this point. I hope you peepo like what you read here. PLEAZ R/R....=)
