Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ The Passion, The Pain, The Lust Part II ❯ Hiding The Truth ( Chapter 4 )

Inside the Village of Ashta....

Kimora and company stopped in Ashta so that Kimora can retrieve her things and drop Teania off. What they were most surprised to see are all the workers that came to help rebuild Ashta. "Do my eyes deceive me?" Queen Teania said as she gently rubbed her eyes in bewilderment of all the help. "Oh my this has been a blessed week. First we get tons of workers to help us and now you all have found Kimora. My heart has never been so up beat in a while. Welcome back Kimora and I'm glad to see your doing fine."

"Thank you Teania and its good to see you all again as well." Rishad spotted Kimora and came rushing over to her. "Well what do you know? Hey Kimora we missed you, glad to see you have come back safely." Rishad picked her up hugging her and squeezing her. "We're glad your back Kimora. We were worried sick about you. We looked high and low and there was no trace of you but I'm glad the Pharaoh helped us out." Marlene said as she gave Kimora a hug and then everybody else that knew Kimora came over to welcome her back. "I appreciate all the love and I'm sorry I had you all worried. I also brought you all back something that you wanted, especially you Teania." Kimora reached in the bag and pulled out Prince Darien's head and raised it up high in the air shouting: "Victory is ours!!!" Everybody threw there hands up in the air and started clapping and cheering excessively as Kimora put the head back in the bag and handed it to Queen Teania's servant.

"This is amazing Kimora just truly amazing. You not only defeated him but you brought back his head. Thank you so much and I will hang his head up on a steak in front of the town and put the name of the warrior girl who got this for me. Thanks Kimora."

"No problem, I know you didn't want anyone to interfere with your battle but I couldn't stand there and just watch my friend get killed."

"I want to give you something in honor of me and my people. They will be so pleased to hear this, I can't wait to see their faces and I'll say: "Yeah that was Kimora the Warrior Princess of Ashta who got this for me in honor of our people."

"You've done enough for me Teania. I should be giving you something. Hell I should be giving all of you something for you have all played a big part in my life.

"Kimora you've done plenty for my people and I appreciate your hard work and dedication. I can handle it from here don't worry. I've got your friends, my priestesses, and many workers. I'll be alright. You and Hasina should head back to the Palace and take care of the Pharaoh."

"Yeah, Kimora I'll be sure to take real good care of the Queen. I'll return back to the Pharaoh's city as soon as I get finished. I need to get back to work Kimora and I hope you guys have a safe trip back. Love ya, buh bye." Marlene walked back over to her working spot and Rishad and his men waved to Kimora and she waved back. "Well I guess this is it. Thank you Teania. I'll be sure to come and visit you as soon as I can and hopefully by then your city will be finished."

"You guys have a nice trip and I hope to see you soon as well. I love you guys and you are the coolest friends that a girl could ever have. Thank you."

"I love you too Teania and all of you guys. I appreciate everything you've done for me. See ya later Teania."

"Hey wait Kimora!!! I know you didn't forget about us." Aeris, Ashila, Tarik, Hondo, and Aria entered the village with a few more workers. "It's good to see you again Kimora." Aria said. "We missed you so much; it's been such a long time." Ashila said. "Our Warrior Princess has finally returned." Aeris said. "I'm glad to hear your okay. We were all terribly worried about you especially me." Tarik said. "I was searching as much as I could to find you and you have finally returned this has been a good week for me so far." said Hondo. "Where have you been Kimora?" Ashila and the others started asking. "Kimora I know you have to head back but how about we all go back inside the Temple and you can tell us all that happened with you and Christ. said Queen Teania. "Sounds good to me." Kimora said.

Inside the Temple....

In the Conference room...

They all sat in Queen Teania's conference room as Kimora told them all that happened with her and Christ. When they asked her about the black orb she told them a lie. It seemed too heartbreaking for her to tell them the actual truth and she figured they wouldn't believe her anyway. "Well it was no big deal beating the man. He was hidden in an Underground Passage under the bar in the Shepherd village and sitting in front of him was an even bigger black orb and when me and Christ defeated him, I destroyed the bigger black orb and all the little black orbs seemed to disappear." Everybody was amazed at her incredible strength and bravery but Queen Teania didn't seem to be buying that story. She sat quietly and pretended like she did but something inside of her made her think it was a lie.

"Kimora also brought back Prince Darien's head. Its hanging up on a steak near the entrance of our city so that everyone can see and make fun of that stupid bastard who tried to challenge me and my people. On the bottom is a plaque that says: Kimora, Warrior Princess of Ashta. I was so proud to put that up but at the same time I let my people down. I thought I could've defeated him on my own to prove to you all and my people that I am strong but of course I needed help and luckily Kimora came and saved me in time."

"It's okay Teania. You are a strong woman and a perfect leader for these people. I'm sure the people will still think of you the same way and nothing less. Because at least they know that their Queen did not give up the fight and she stood her ground." Aeris said. "Yeah, you and Kimora's strengths are about equal and your determination is beyond anything anyone would ever have expected. You got what you wanted and Kimora got what she wanted, now let's try to enjoy the rest of this night while Kimora is still here, because I know she has to return soon and I think it would be best if you stay here until tomorrow since its getting dark outside." Aria said. "Yeah, I guess so. Hasina and me can stay here until tomorrow."

"Who are these adorable little twins?" Aria said. "Oh these are Kimora's daughters. I gave them both identical silver necklaces with a crystal heart so that they will be easily identifiable. The one with the pink crystal heart is Taos and the one with the yellow crystal heart is Tagnus." Hasina said.

"Kimora's DAUGHTER'S!?!?!" They all shouted in awe. "Yes, they are my children. You all remember Asenia right?" They all nodded.

"Well, they had to kill Asenia because the black orb possessed her and the Pharaoh knew that these children needed a mother so he thought that I would be best. I know it sounds strange but I think there is hope for these girls even though they are Asenia's children."

"Well I think that was really sweet of you. You can still have children of your own one day but at least you'll get some experience now since you are taking care of these sweet little darlings." Aria said.

"Speaking of children, where are you kids Aria?"

"I left them with Eshe until I returned. I didn't want them getting hurt."

"It seems that you've had quite a busy week Kimora. You made new friends, you saved us from any further mishaps from the black orb, you defeated the Prince and brought back his head, and you now have two children of your own. Maybe there is something to all this." Ashila said.

"Yeah, but its hard to explain..."

"Hey whatever happened to that kind elderly woman who always helped you Kimora? I haven't seen her around for a long time." said Hondo. Everybody started looking at each other and asking the same question and then they looked back at Kimora.

Kimora looked down and took a sip of water. "Umm, I saw her inside the Village of the Shepherds. There are a lot of old people there after all and she just happened to be there but I didn't spend much time with her. She decided to stay there and of course I had to leave." And yet again, Queen Teania knew she was lying but she still said nothing. "I'm a little tired now guys. I've told you everything I did and saw, now I need to get my rest. It was good chatting with you all again like the good old 'times."

"I agree. After all this I suddenly feel more refreshed talking and laughing together with all of you. Good night everyone." Hasina said. Everybody said goodnight and went to sleep.

On the Balcony...

Kimora stood on the balcony and looked into the sky. Queen Teania came over and stood next to her looking downwards at her half-fixed city.

"Kimora? Why did you lie to them?" Kimora looked at her with an angry face. "What the heck are you talking about?" Queen Teania turned towards her and folded her arms. "You know damn well what I'm talking about. The black orb and the elderly woman. That's not what really happened to them. You were just making it up as you went along. Now what really happened to them?"

"That's none of your damn business." Kimora rolled her eyes and began walking away. "It is my damn business since that old woman has helped me and you know it. I demand to know what happened to her and I demand to know the truth about the black orb. You don't plan on telling the Pharaoh those lies and honestly think he's going to believe them are you?"

"Like I said before and I'll say it again. What happened to the elderly woman, the black orb, and me is personal. None of your damn business. I will tell the Pharaoh the same thing I told you all and if he doesn't like it too damn bad."

"Kimora what has gotten into you? Why are you so mean? I was just concerned about you like everyone else was and I feel that they deserve the truth and you know it."

"Well I wouldn't be so mean if you weren't trying to interrogate me about it. It wasn't all fun and games at that village. I found out some hurtful things about my childhood and someone that I knew had to go away. There's some things I can't tell you and their probably some things you can't or won't tell me like Are you in love with the Pharaoh? And was Maya betraying me or was it you betraying me?"

Queen Teania stood shell-shocked for she knew that she couldn't hide her desirable secret any longer. "Yes Kimora. I do love the Pharaoh but I did not betray you in any way. I've loved him for quite some time now and I was so jealous of you because although he probably knows that I like him, we will only be friends nothing more. You are the one who he truly loves and I hope one day you will become his Queen and I will get the honor of seeing you two ruling Egypt together like it was intended to be."

"Thank you Teania. I'm sorry for coming at you like that, its just that horrible memories of mine were coming back to haunt me and the reality of it all was starting to bring anger inside of me. A lot of things happened in that village and I still don't feel like talking about it but I will tell you one day just not anytime soon."

"I'm sorry too Kimora and if you need someone to talk to just come to me. I've kept my love for the Pharaoh secret for some time now and I know at one point you were feeling like I was taking him away from you but I wasn't. I just wanted to catch up on the life of my good old friend that's all. Nothing but friendly conversation."

"Well now that that's settled let's get some rest. I wish I could talk to you guys all night until I fell asleep but you know I have to leave unfortunately but then again....................................I miss him and I really want to see him again. Goodnight Teania." Kimora walked to her room and as Teania was slowly following behind she turned around and saw a shooting start whisk across the starry sky. "Lucky girl........................I wish the Pharaoh would tell me how he really feels about me.........................................................."
