Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Songbird ❯ Finished ( Chapter 5 )

The guards dragged Kisara and Kimora down to the Underground Prison where Gebeluk was explaining to Priest Seto and Priest Akunadin about Ka's and how he experiments with them and their owners. They threw them on the ground in front of the Priests who were sitting in special seats. Priest Seto stood up hollering at the guards for handling Kimora so ruff. They looked at each other in utter confusion, then bowed and apologized to the angry Priest and walked away. Priest Seto grabbed Kimora and stepped off to the side. "Look I know you want to help that girl but she is in good hands. Now go back to the throne room because the Pharaoh is probably waiting for you." It didn't take Kimora long to figure out that he was hiding her from the Pharaoh and threatened to tell until he threw her up against the wall and threatened to kill Kisara if she tells. But Kimora reminded him that she could kill him and everyone else just as easily. "Well what do I have to do so that you keep your mouth shut about this?" Kimora put her hand on her chin for a moment and then snapped her fingers. "I want you to put The Head Mistress in jail." Priest Seto nodded and told one of the guards standing by to go into the village an arrest The Head Mistress. Kimora said thank you and left the Underground Prison and headed to the throne room. Although she didn't like The Head Mistress she thought it would be best to put her in jail to remind her that she has not won.

Kimora made her way to the throne room and hummed along the way. The Pharaoh heard her in the distance and followed the sound. He watched her for a moment and then she started to sing and he smiled excitingly. He crept up to her quietly and grabbed her hands and she felt up and down the fingers with her thumb and knew who it was. She smiled and continued to hold onto his hands as he walked with her and led her into the garden. As she walked by various people they looked up at her and the Pharaoh said "Shh..." As he held onto her leading her to a bench in the garden and finally sitting down.

She kept singing for a few minutes and then when she stopped to open her eyes, her heart started pounding even more and her hands were shaking tremendously. Even though she already knew who it was, when she looked him dead in the eye a different heart racing nervous sensation ran through her body. "You have a beautiful voice." Kimora blushed bashfully and said thank you. "I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to hear you earlier. My servant told me about you but I didn't want to listen at that time but now that I hear you, it sounds so beautiful." Kimora said thank you again and looked around at all the people who were peeking out from different places watching them with smiles and joyous laughter. "Your name is Kimora right?" She nodded. "Do you remember me? I was little and you were here under my father's care?" Kimora was silent and shook her head. "What do you remember from the Past when those thieves attacked you?" Kimora stood up and walked around breathing heavily and shutting her eyes to remember what happened. "I remember being attacked, and then I was on my knees crying and then half of my Ka came out of me and then...I don't know..." She opened her eyes and sat back down. The Pharaoh asked her if she wanted him to tell the rest and she hesitated for a moment and then said yes.

"This is what my father told me. You killed those men and a few others and scared the people back into their houses. He brought you to the Palace and took you too our Medical Center to be taken care of but the doctors couldn't do anything except wait until you came back to consciousness. I watched you for a while until I closed your eyes and you woke up the next day." Kimora sat on the bench shaking and then broke into tears and the Pharaoh held onto her as she threw her arms around him griping him tightly. "Kimora..." Kimora wiped her eyes off and stared at everyone behind her who watched with solemn faces. Then she looked back at the Pharaoh and left.

"Where are you going the Pharaoh yelled?" Kimora started running kept running until she didn't know were she was. She stopped and looked around and then fell to the floor on her knees with her hands over her eyes. The Pharaoh spotted her and ran quickly to her side. He held her in his arms and stroked her ruff hair. "You have to pull yourself together Kimora. You can't blame yourself for something you couldn't control." Kimora stopped crying, and stared into his eyes as if he could really feel her pain. "What about their families, their wives, children, mothers, brothers, what about them?" The Pharaoh smiled then stood up and took her hands pulling her up off the floor. "You did them a favor." Kimora looked at him questionably. "My father spoke to these families. They were all thieves. They got what they deserved. Now you shouldn't cry anymore." Kimora's face lit up like the moon. Laughing with embarrassment. "I just made a fool out of myself." She said hysterically. "No, it's okay." Kimora looked outside the window and watched all the people thinking about how she was going to get her life back together. The Pharaoh stood next to her clamping her hand under his. "You won't have to go back out there. It's not safe."

Kimora nodded with relief. The Pharaoh patted her back and walked away. She arched her head down and smiled. She wanted to do everything she could to show that she was grateful for his protection. She turned around and Priest Seto was standing in front of her. "I sent some guards out to go look for The Head Mistress but she and many others died in the hands of Bakura. You should be glad." Kimora nodded and the Priest started walking away. "Where is she?" Kimora shouted to the Priest. He stopped and turned around and walked up to her whispering in her ear and then departed. Kimora stood by the window until she saw a large crowd of people marching towards the Palace, very loudly, very unruly. She knew something was happening so she ran down the halls until she got to a balcony that over looked the throne room.

Many servants crowded around near her looking to see what was going on as well. The people got through the gates and were crowded in the throne room, yelling and shouting.

"Where is that witch!"

"Where is that devil!"

"She killed The Head Mistress!"

"She'll kill us all!"

The people all shouted in rage until the Pharaoh finally asked them who they were talking about. They said Kimora's name. They blamed her for killing The Head Mistress and the other men in the bar out of spite. But the Pharaoh assured them that it was a lie. He told them that Bakura did this and that he is still out to strike again. Some of them were afraid and left the Palace to return to their homes and others were still suspicious about Kimora. Kimora watched the people leaving the Palace ready to attack at any moment. The servants watched Kimora's vengeful eyes waiting for her to strike. Azila pushed through the crowd of servants and grabbed her arm pulling her away from the balcony, away from the people, away from their destruction. "I can't believe everyone is just standing around letting you do that to yourself. Don't listen to them Kimora. You know it's not true. You've been here the whole time and the Palace is heavily guarded now that Bakura is on the loose so their is no way you could've escaped without someone seeing you." Kimora nodded in agreement but she still had this urge to kill. "Come, since you'll be staying in the Palace you might as well put on something cleaner and prettier." Kimora got up and followed Azila to the preparation room.

"By the way my name is Azila. I should warn you about a few things before you get too comfortable in the Palace. Trust no one, be cautious of your surroundings, try to get rid of those silly commoner habits it won't suit you well inside the Palace of the Pharaoh and don't let anyone bring you down. Some of these girls are much meaner than they seem especially when it comes to the Pharaoh." Kimora nodded in agreement, listening quietly. "Alright I'll hand you over to my other assistants. The Pharaoh wanted me to help take care of you and I will. I'm the only person you can trust. When your done you are free to do as you please just remember what I said." Azila left the room. Kimora sat back and let the assistants work their magic. She wasn't ready for this new lifestyle and she didn't want to look pretty for anyone. She felt sorry and responsible for The Head Mistress's death but somewhere in her heart she knew she was glad.
