Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ The Passion, The Pain, The Lust Part I ❯ A Demons Destiny ( Chapter 32 )

At Night...

Inside the Palace...

Kimora had just woken up and it was now midnight. She rubbed her eyes and stretched her body. "What happened?" She said unclearly as she was scratching her head. "Finally, the little Demon has awakened." Priest Seto said jokingly. "I'm not a demon." Kimora fired back. "Yeah, well what you did earlier looks like the work of a demon or maybe a mad woman." Priest Seto continued. "Whatever." Kimora said carelessly. Priest Seto sat on the bed next to her gripping her waist from behind. "You know you're in trouble right?" Priest Seto bantered. "I know I am, and I know I'll probably be hanged or whipped for it again." Kimora said sorely. "Well, this situation a little different." Kimora stretched out on the bed with her back towards Priest Seto. "How?" She said doubtfully.

"Those men that you killed did not obey the guards, threatened to kill you, and defied the Pharaoh's orders. All of this can guarantee death upon them yet you've already done the job for us. But, since your Ka did kill 10 men and this was all a matter of self-defense and there is no way in hell you can control a beast so powerful, we've decided to take this situation a little lighter but, keep in mind that you are not off the hook just yet." Kimora was relieved but she was still scared of the consequences she'd have to face later on. "What do I do now?" Priest Seto grinned evilly. "Tomorrow your fate will be decided in the mean time my servant Nina will bring you food to eat and wine to drink." Kimora looked out the window thinking about her friends whom she might not be able to see again. "What about my friends?" Kimora said depressingly. "Like I said before, your fate will be decided tomorrow." Priest Seto reached over and tried to kiss her but she backed away. "Feisty little girl." The horny Priest got up and walked out the room and then his servant came in.

"Here is your food and wine." The servant sat the tray on her bed and walked out the door. Kimora stared at the food for a while and then began picking small pieces off and eating them. Her main priority was to escape the palace but guards were everywhere and it would be impossible for her to escape without someone seeing. "Oh Diabound, you protect me so well and I love you like a dear friend but you cause a whole lot of trouble when you appear." Kimora sighed.

"It's not my fault; those men wanted to kill me. What was I supposed to do stand there and let them rape me and kill me. There is no way in hell I would give myself up to a bunch of creepy bastards like that. I can control Diabound sometimes but often times he fights on his own free will just to protect me. This was my chance to prove that I'm not a thief and it gets taken away all because of those stupid jackasses. Why do I have to put up with this? Maybe I should've stayed in Dali or Trento? Maybe coming back was the beginning of my destruction? Maybe this is all a sign for something even worse to come? I wish I knew. Maybe Teania or Asenia set me up? I doubt it though since I didn't see them at the party. I bet Atem is pissed off at me. I should've known better to get into a relationship like this. I should have known that it wouldn't work out and that we can never be together. Maybe I've given up too easily? Maybe I should give this relationship a chance? If I leave now I might never find a love like him anywhere else." Kimora finished her food and wine, and then she lied down and attempted to go sleep, still thinking about her friends and the Pharaoh.

~Next Day~

Priest Seto came in and shook Kimora to wake her up. "Wake up! the Pharaoh is requesting your presence." Kimora pulled herself together and got out of bed. "Nina will prepare you first and then you may come down and stand before the Pharaoh." Kimora dragged her tired feet as she followed Nina into the Preparation room.

Inside the Preparation room...

Even though some of the potions that the elderly woman gave her wore off returning her physical features back to normal she didn't want to change her image. "I don't want my image to change because I like it just the way it is." Kimora said in a mild tone. "Well my orders are to show a little more of you. You look very pretty but I have to follow orders. You don't look like a demon like everyone has been saying." Nina said nicely. She admired Kimora very much. "Then I guess you have to do what you have to do." Kimora said dimly. "Don't worry Kimora, I am a specialist in make-up and accessories so you don't have to worry about me messing you up." Kimora removed all her clothes and Nina led her to a bathtub full of water and rose petals. Kimora dipped her foot in and sat down in the water. Nina took her hair down and began pulling on it.

"Oww what the hell are you doing?" Kimora said in a rattled tone.

"Oh my, I'm sorry. I thought you were wearing a wig. Women around here usually shave their heads and wear wigs since it is our natural custom. I didn't know this was your real hair, I'm really sorry about that." Kimora rubbed her ache scalp. "That's alright, I never bothered to shave my head because I couldn't afford to." Nina continued washing her head with scented oils that smelled like a mixture of fruits. "You seem to be the talk of the town this morning." Nina broke the silence. "I am always the talk of the town." Kimora said shamefully. "You know they only get on your case more so than others because you are a peasant, a woman, and your past incident has everyone still believing that you are a thief, now people seem to be scared of you after what happened last night. I never knew a girl could hold such a strong Ka." Nina said concernedly.

"Its not like you can choose your own Ka. It comes to you naturally. From the weakest to the strongest. I know Diabound has caused a ruckus around the village but he also helped me into keeping jerks like the ones from yesterday away from me." Kimora said disdainfully. "Well, you certainly are lucky and I never thought that you were a thief. Everyone knows now that Shana framed you but some still believe that you did it. One day you'll get your well-deserved justice." Nina boasted proudly. "Thanks for all the encouragement." Kimora smiled happily. "Its alright, I like talking to nice people." Nina continued washing her long hair and then drying it off. Kimora began getting washed up, while Nina gathered the materials she needed to finish preparing Kimora.

Kimora got out the tub and came into the small room were Nina was. Kimora sat down in the chair awaiting the next step. Nina used black body paint and began painting a pattern of rectangles that stood upwards and triangles around her neck. Then she painted five layers onto her chest, making it look like a beaded paint-on necklace, then she darkened the top layer and covered it with a pattern of two rectangles, then she skipped the second layer and did the same with the third, and then she skipped the fourth layer and did the same with the fifth. From the painted on necklace down to her waist she drew many little hexagons that covered each large breasts and intersecting near her belly button.

Again, from the painted on necklace, she drew in between her breasts a straight line going all the way down stopping at the waist. She then drew two bridge like circles on the lower part of her sides. Then going down her arms were a pattern on squares forming a straight line down each arm stopping at the wrists. Around her waist were two gold chains and covering her private area was a thin cloth that had gold on the edges, blue in the middle, and white on the sides. Her long legs were left showing. Then from the waist down she drew a pattern of lines that curved towards the back of her legs, covering her thighs and legs. For jewelry she wore two golden upper arm bans, two silver bans around the wrists, and a large portion of gold beads that decorated her long raven hair. She drew lines around her eyes that extended to the sides of her face. She also drew a straight line of squares going down the middle of her back, ending at the waist. She placed gold eye shadow on her eyes and finally completed her image.

"There you are, you look just like a Queen." Nina said proudly. "You know I'd never expect that you would look this good but, I guess I underestimated myself." Nina admitted. "I like it a lot and I think you did a wonderful job. Its just that, I am too scared to go down there and look him in the eye knowing that he is probably very angry with me." Kimora said fearfully. "I wish I could help but I think you should just go down there and listen to whatever they have to say and maybe things won't be so bad for you." Just then the door flew open and two guards came in. "Are you ready Kimora?" they said in a frightening tone. "Yes, let's go." The two guards walked behind Kimora, while Nina followed close behind.

Inside the Throne room...

Kimora stood before the Pharaoh and bowed. Then she stood back up again, keeping her head down, for fear of looking up into his angry crimson eyes which reminded her too much of the hell he could bring to her. "Kimora, I and my fellow Priests have decided that because of your crime you will spend 10 years serving me and only me. After your 10 years of servitude you are free to go." Kimora ran her hand across her sweaty forehead, which began to make a little puddle of sweat on the floor. "Running away is not an option." The Pharaoh made that point clearly then he dismissed her. She walked away, dragging her feet feeling the burning pain of the Pharaoh and his Priests as they watched her walk slowly in shame. Kimora went straight upstairs into her room, to isolate herself from them.

"I'm starting to think that this may not have been such a good idea." Priest Ishizu complained. "Nothing is going to happen. If anything does happen I'll take care of her personally." Priest Seto said in a sexual tone. "I will handle those matters personally. She belongs to me and only me and I don't want to see any of you touching her in any kind of way or you will surely regret it." The Pharaoh dismissed the Priests and all but, Priest Seto left. "How do you know this girl is clean? She could have slept with many men and you wouldn't have known it. Sure she is beautiful and many other things but she is still a peasant." Priest Seto tried making Kimora look bad so that he may have her to himself for his own sexual needs. "I have my ways of telling what girl is suitable or not. Your right I don't know if she slept with any other men or not, but I doubt that she has." The Pharaoh said defensively. "Let's be reasonable here, there are hardly any virgins in Egypt and I know you won't find one in this city." Priest Seto chuckled.

"I know Kimora is your servant but, it is my job to handle the well beings of the servants and the people and I should keep a close eye on her just in case she tries something. You never know, she could run away again." Priest Seto continued to degrade Kimora. "Like I said before if she runs away I will deal with it and Yes you can make sure that she is doing what is told and that is all you should be doing." The Pharaoh began to become angry. "That's enough Priest Seto, I don't know where your getting at with this but, keep in mind that I am watching you and Kimora." Priest Seto bowed and walked away. "You'll figure it out soon enough my Pharaoh.........."

Inside the Village....

In Teania's house...

Teania had finally woken up still aching in her back. "Teania your woke." Aria shouted as she ran towards her and gave her a hug. "Hi guys where is Kimora?" She looked around the room. "Kimora is inside the palace. She got in trouble because of some stupid jerks that were at the party last night." Teania wiped a tear from her eye. "I just wanted to tell her that I'm sorry and she was right all along. I've said so many mean things to her and she was just trying to protect me." Teania said guiltily. "Its okay Teania, I'm sure we can see her tomorrow and become friends again like we were before. I am also sorry because I also believed that Asenia has changed but it was all a lie." Aria said grievingly.

"I know we will all become friends again because that's what friends do. We talk out our problems and try to resolve them in a positive way. I just hope that this never happens again." The two girls hugged each other and cried happily. The elderly woman smiled and went back into the kitchen. "A strong Friendship must never be broken for anything. Not even death can tear you apart. Only the darkness can separate you from your true self and then you become a mindless pawn with no one to love and nothing to cherish. Let no one or nothing break the Eternal bond that you share with one another." The elderly woman said.
