Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ The Passion, The Pain, The Lust Part I ❯ A Gain and A Loss ( Chapter 42 )

Inside the Ashta...

A Bunch of Greek men and Egyptian men were helping to reconstruct Ashta. They've been doing this for quite sometime now and the city was almost finished. The Prince, who was a tall Caucasian man with long blond hair, blue eyes, and a muscular body, was still trying to figure out why the city was destroyed and where was his Princess. Marlene, Rishad and his men were all paid a large sum of money each by the Prince, to help he and his men rebuild Ashta. "Captain Artemis!!!" The Captain ran over to the Prince kneeling down before him. "I will take some of my men with me as we make our journey to see the Pharaoh. I'm sure our Princess is there. At least I hope. I know she's alive."

"Very well sire, I will keep an eye on everyone in Ashta while you retrieve our Princess. I hope she's safe and I hope you find her. God's speed with you and your troops." The Prince and his selected troops began getting prepared for their mission while Captain Artemis kept an eye on the rest of the workers. "Are they talking about Teania?" Rishad said. "I hope not but that just might be whom they're talking about." Marlene said. "Will they take Teania away?" Marlene shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know but, if Teania wants to leave that's her choice and no one else's." Marlene knew that Teania was the Princess but, the chance of Teania leaving them was paining. They all went back to work, as a dead silent whisked through them.

Inside the Throne room...

"She does not owe you anything, now leave her out of this." The Pharaoh said, as his angry tone roared through the room. "Your right she doesn't owe me anything, but I intend to take something from her in order to seek revenge." The Pharaoh stepped forward and flashed out his cape ready to fight Bakura. "Let her go now Bakura." The Priests stood on the side of the Pharaoh summoning their Ka's to the field. Asenia pressed the sharp dagger up to Mana's neck even harder making a thin cut mark that had blood rushing down her neck. "I will not hesitate to chop her pretty neck off if Kimora does not hand over Diabound. The minute you try to attack me, I will order Asenia to slice her neck off." Maya and Teania looked at each other and nodded. They both ran upstairs and kicked open Kimora's door. "Kimora, you must come down to the Throne room now, we have big trouble!!!"

Kimora hid her book under her bed and left her room with the two girls. "What's going on?" When they got down their Kimora's eyes widened in despair. "Excellent. The little belly dancer girl has finally arrived." Asenia still held the knife close to Mana's neck ready to slice it off at any second. "What the hell is going on?" Kimora watched Mana's teary eyes struggle to get free, pleading for help. "It's quite simple actually. If you don't give up Diabound to Bakura then Mana will die." Asenia shouted proudly. "I'll do it but first you have to let Mana go." Bakura snapped his fingers and Asenia threw her across the room, up against a statue knocking her unconscious.

Kimora tried holding back her tears as Bakura put his hand on her forehead, reciting a spell in Egyptian, her eyes began to glow white, then she starts to scream loudly as Diabound slowly makes its way out of her body and into Bakura's, while her spirit enters the Millennium Crystal with a Ka inside waiting for her. The ruby emblem on her forehead begins to glow, with blood rushing down her head, and she collapses onto the floor unconscious. He then throws the Millennium Crystal at her, and starts laughing loudly with his arms extended into the air.

"At last, I finally have the ultimate power in my grasps and I intend to kill you with it my Pharaoh." The servants pulled the two unconscious girls out of the battlefield and into separate rooms to be taken care of. "You will pay dearly for what you have done Bakura as well as Asenia." The Pharaoh summons Obelisk and the two attack each other but Obelisk prevails injuring Bakura and damaging Diabound. "I would be careful who I attack if I were you because I wouldn't want to injure our special guest." Bakura had the Pharaoh's father's dead body tied up. "Pharaoh Aknumkanon." Shimon whispered under his breath. "I will make sure that your filthy souls burn in hell." The Pharaoh shouted with his fists balled up. The Pharaoh attacked Bakura once again making him fall to the ground. The Pharaoh walked across the battlefield and recovered his father's body, kicking Bakura in the stomach. A tear falls down his eye as he remembers his father's great presence in the Palace and everything that he taught him. He closed his eyes, listening to his father's voice.

"Justice is in the name of God." He lies his father's body down and orders Obelisk to attack Bakura once more. Bakura is bloody from head to toe unable to continue fighting. He uses Diabound's special ability Camouflage of Darkness to disappear from the battlefield and retreat into the village.

Priest Mahado walks up to the Pharaoh putting his hand on his shoulder. "Thank you my Pharaoh. You are always so gracious." The Pharaoh sighed as he kneeled down beside his father's body. "I only stopped Bakura. Kimora saved Mana. You should be thanking her." Two guards dragged Asenia over to the Pharaoh. "What shall we do with her my Lord?" The Pharaoh didn't even look up at her he just sighed and stared at his father's body. What should the Pharaoh do? Should he kill her? Or maybe he should punish her the same way they did Kimora did a while ago?

Inside Ashta....

The Prince stood in front of his workers, with his sword raised high into the air. "My dear workers, You have all served me well. Even those that are native to this glorious land. I must depart in search of our lovely Princess. I will leave Captain Artemis in charge and hopefully (sighs) The King will still be alive when we return with her. Do not give up hope and continue to work hard for me and for our princess." Everyone cheered and clapped for the Princess. The horse stood on its two hind legs and the Prince and his troops left the city. "I hope everything's going to be okay." Rishad stood behind Marlene and kissed the back of her head.

Inside the Throne room...

"Take Asenia down to the cell until my Priests and I make a final decision on her fate." Asenia started screaming and cursing as she struggled to get free from the many guards that held onto her. "Are you alright my Lord?" Priest Shadah said. "I'm fine. Have all of my Priests meet in the conference room. We will decide on what to do with Asenia and also, I want to know how Kimora and Mana are doing." Priest Shadah bowed and immediately began following the Pharaoh's requests. The servants gathered up Pharaoh Aknumkanon's body and began preparing it for reburial. The Pharaoh sat down in the conference room with all the other Priests, as they decided a fate for Asenia.

Inside the Conference room...

"My Lord, our guards have said that Asenia abandoned her children to go work for Bakura." The Pharaoh tapped his fingers on the table, still thinking about his father. "Did Asenia say this herself?"

The Pharaoh said depressingly. "Yes she did. As a matter of fact, she also said that Bakura is plotting many other plans against you my Lord but she did not say what they were. We asked her if she knew what they were and she refused to tell us. We must take major precautions from here on out to ensure the safety of the people and the Palace." Priest Karim said. "Very well then if she refuses to talk, then she will be whipped forty times." Priest Seto blurted out. "My Lord, do you agree with these orders?" Priest Mahado said questionably. "Yes, and if she does refuse to say what Bakura is planning then Priest Seto has my orders to carry out her punishment."

"What do we do about her children?" The Pharaoh knew one person that was sweet, kind, and gentle, enough to take care of her kids. "Find them and bring them back to the Palace." A low tap was knocking on the door and when Priest Karim opened it up, it was Teania who came to bring the news about Mana and Kimora. "Sorry to intrude my Pharaoh but I've come to bring news about Kimora and Mana." The Pharaoh shut his eyes and opened them back up, feeling Teania's oppression, start to scare him. "Mana is woke and she is doing well although she does have a few scars on her. Kimora is still unconscious." The Pharaoh nodded and Teania quickly fled the room.

"This concludes our meeting. I want all these things done at once." The Priests arose from their seats and left the Conference room to adhere to these matters. The Pharaoh stayed seated as his thoughts of his father and of Kimora clouded his mind making him unable to think clearly. Teania peeked into the room and saw the Pharaoh with his head down on the table. "Are you alright?" The Pharaoh popped his head up and smiled at Teania. "I'm fine. Can you continue to watch Kimora for me?" Teania nodded. "Of course I can and if you need anything else I am always here for you." Teania kissed him on the forehead and left the room. Tani, (who was peeking in the doorway of the conference) ran away giggling in a disastrous tone. Teania watched Tani closely as she left the conference room. "What a slut." Tani whispered under breath.

Right away, Tani began spreading rumors about the Pharaoh supposedly having an affair with Teania inside the conference room. This was going to make things even worse for the saddened Pharaoh who was dealing with so many problems. Teania was having many suspicious thoughts about Tani.

Everyone in the Palace was busy doing something or helping the Pharaoh while Tani chilled back like nothing was going on. After telling almost everyone in the Palace about this so called affair; Tani left the Palace and went into the village.

In the Village...

Bakura watched her from a distance plotting to use her for something evil. It was very windy and the moon was hidden behind the clouds as two twin toddlers were wandering around the village looking for their mother. Both of them were frightened little girls who's mother abandoned them a while ago. They were left to fend for themselves as they searched for shelter and food. They were becoming thinner and weaker each day. Will someone help these lonely girls? Or will they die? What could Bakura be planning to do with Tani?
