Bakura: What?

 

I have to find some last minute music for the next few last chapters for this.

 

Marik: Found some good ones at least?

 

I think so, it's pretty and I liked how the lyrics are like.

 

Bakura: It's not like they look at it.

 

Shut up.

 

Bakura: Well, without further ado.

 

Let's get this chapter on the go!

`Everybody's got something they had to leave behind
One regret from yesterday that just seems to grow with time
There's no use looking back or wondering
How it could be now or might have been
Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go

I've never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be with you

Somewhere in my memory
I've lost all sense of time
and tomorrow can never be cos yesterday is all that fills my mind
There's no use looking back or wondering
How it should be now or might have been
Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go

I've never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be

You'll always be the dream that fills my head
Yes you will, say you will, you know you will
Oh baby, you'll always be the one I know I'll never forget
There's no use looking back or wondering
Because love is a strange and funny thing
No matter how I try and try I just can't say goodbye
No no no no

I've never had a dream come true
Till the day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say (words to say)
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where life takes me to
A part of me will always be
A part of me will always be with you'

 

Ch. 41: Boat Trip

Yugi woke up by someone shaking her. She blinked a couple of times before she saw Isis and then Seth.

 

“Time to go.” He whispered.

 

She got up after giving Mana one last hug and quickly got dressed. She wore a simple wrap top and gypsy pants as well as her sandals and a cloak.

 

Seth led her to the stables, where a guard on his horse was holding the reins of the other horse.

 

“Morning Lady Yugi.” Said the guard as she got on the horse.

 

“Good morning.” She said as she looked around.

 

“The Pharaoh is getting ready for a speech he will present today.” Seth said, knowing what she was looking for.

 

“A speech?”

 

“He truly did wish to see you off, but he-”

 

“I understand. Take care Seth-sama.”

 

Seth smiled for the first time she'd been here. “I'm going to miss that `-sama' thing.”

 

She giggled. “Just don't forget me and you'll think I'm still around.”

 

He nodded. “You take care as well.”

 

She smiled and nodded to the guard that she was ready and they rode off.

 

Once out of the palace gates, she saw the crowd of villagers, cheering at her and calling her `Lady of Light' or `She who helped saved Egypt'. She wasn't expecting this, but waved to everyone as they headed towards the ports.

 

When they made it to the ports, she got off the horse and looked at the boat that was suppose to take her to the Valley of the Kings. By that time, the sun rose up from the horizon and she could hear the people cheer.

 

“Must be very important if it was so sudden.” She said, mostly to herself. She then looked sad. `I just wish I could see Atem one more time.' She thought when she managed a small smile. `Well, of course I will, once I get home.' She sighed deeply as a huge cheer was heard. `I wonder what's going on over there?' She thought as the cheering died down.

 

About a half an hour later, another presence came in. The guard grabbed the other horse's reins and galloped off.

 

She looked a little lost, but took a good look at the new comer. The person known as her guide was wearing what the villager men would wear and his head was covered so that even his eyes were shadowed over. Before she could say anything, the other bowed before her, for a moment, then got up and mentioned her to get on the boat. She got onto the boat and sat down while the other got the boat ready to go down to the Valley of the Kings.

 

As the palace and the city were nothing but a speck in the distance, she couldn't help but to speak. “I know he told me not to speak to you, but…” She said with a sigh. “I feel like I need to talk to someone right now. You know?” The guide nodded understandingly, which made her feel a little better. “I know it isn't goodbye, but At-… I mean, the Pharaoh, didn't see me off this morning. I understood that it was important, but… It could've made me feel a little better about leaving.” She slightly giggled. “Though, it probably wouldn't change how I feel, right?” Her guide nodded in agreement. “It's only natural that you're going to miss the ones you love. Whether they're moving somewhere else or passing into the next step in the circle of life, you're going to miss them.” She looked over at the edge of the boat and looked at her reflection in the water, only to have her guide's reflection appear as well.

 

It didn't bother her that he was next to her, but the sudden comfortive embrace did caught her off guard a bit. `This feels… familiar…' She thought as the other released his embrace and continued rowing the boat. She looked at him, as if trying to point out something that she missed. When she didn't find anything amiss, she continued to look at her reflection. `It can't be, he's back in the palace. And he would have to find someone to take his place in such a short time.' She thought.

 

Unknown to her, red-violet orbs appeared from the shadow of his cloak and looked back slightly at her before they were shadowed over once more and continued to row.

 

~Modern Day: Egypt~

“I hate boats.” Marik announced as he slumped over the rail of a ship that was heading to the Valley of the Kings.

 

“Aww…” Malik started as she rubbed his back. “Is my koi seasick?”

 

“More like riversick.” Marik pointed out, as he looked a little green.

 

“Here…” She handed out some pills. “These should help, I couldn't find the pad ones.”

 

“Anything to make me not so-” He started to say as he up-chucked to the side.

 

“Nice…” Bakura said as he just came around the corner.

 

“Shit off!” Marik said weakly.

 

Bakura shrugged and headed inside the boat's cabin, where he saw Ryou, Joey, and Lisa making lunch.

 

“Hey Bakura!” Lisa said. “Have you seen asshole number two around?”

 

“He's up-chucking as we speak.” Bakura responded.

 

“Damn.” Lisa said as she started to cut up the fruit.

 

“I better make something light for him then.” Ryou said as she handed Bakura's plate, which was a simple chicken salad sandwich and chips.

 

“Don't worry about him, he has Malik to take care of him.” Bakura said.

 

“As usual.” Duke said as she looked as she looked at a magazine at the kitchen table, munching on her macaroni salad.

 

“He'll be better when we hit land tomorrow.” Seto pointed out as he continued to type on his laptop.

 

“It's weird.” Joey said as she placed Seto's plate down, which was a salad with chicken slices. “Dat dere was a sandstorm at da airport dat was suppose da take us to da Valley of da Kings.”

 

It was as this point, Malik came in supporting Marik. “I guess its fate that it happened.” She said. “Because back then, they used boats as their only safe travel towards the Valley of the Kings.” She placed Marik down on the table, who looked a little pale and tired.

 

“That would make a lot of sense.” Tristan said as he grabbed a piece of fruit that Lisa cut up, which result to having him being poked `lightly' by her knife. “Ow! Watch where you handle that thing!”

 

“No fruit for you!” She said in a Nazi tone as she showed the tip of her knife near to his nose.

 

“Okay! Okay!” He said as he sat down.

 

“Never eat Lisa's ingredients, you should already know that.” Moukaba said as Lisa put down his fruit salad that had some whip cream at the bottom.

 

“It was great for your sister to ask the boat company to lend us this boat.” Ryou said to Malik, who waved it off.

 

“It was nothing for her, after all, she's the one with connections.”

 

“So, when we get to this place, then what?” Duke asked, which caused everyone to be silent.

 

“What else?” Bakura said. “Walk in, see if there's anything that's useful, and get out.”

 

“That's what we're going to do?” Duke asked again.

 

“Like I said, `what else?'.”

 

Though, everyone else felt differently about it.

 

`We're being drawn to this one place.' Bakura thought. `But the question is, what are we going to discover once we get there? I wonder…'

`I do swear that I'll always be there.
I'd give anything and everything and I will always care.
Through weakness and strength, happiness and sorrow,
for better for worse, I will love you with
every beat of my heart.)
From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on

From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on

I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on

You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on'
