Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Trapped Without Sight ❯ Journey to the Next Town ( Chapter 6 )

Chapter 6: Journey to the NextTownand Back   (I am going to turn this into kind of a cross over considering the fact that I plan to put some of the Yu Yu Hakusho characters in the story.)   Yami had to leave and go to the next town in which he brought Skyla, Yugi, Ryou, Bakura, Ishtar, and Malik with him. The next town was where Yami would find some friends of his that would replace some of the council members that had died. They arrived in front of a small but fancy house where Yami knocked and was greeted by a handsome man with red hair.   “Hello Kurama, it’s been a long time since we last saw each other.” Yami greeted him. “Yami, it certainly has been long, who’s the young lady at your side?” Kurama asked. “This is Skyla, she’s a new servant of mine, the others are Yugi, Bakura, Ryou, Ishtar, and Malik.” Yami introduced everyone. “Skyla used to be blind, but Yugi healed her eyes.” Yami finished. “What happened to the high priest?” Kurama asked, letting them in. “I had to kill him because he kidnapped and beat Skyla to try and hurt me emotionally.” Yami explained.   {Seto: Sure make it sound like a necessity. WB Chan: Shut up Seto; you’re supposed to be dead, remember. Seto: *grumbles*}   “So what business brings you here?” Kurama asked. “I need to recruit some trusted friends to replace my council; a few members had died recently.” Yami answered. “Oh, I’m sure Hiei will be thrilled; you know how he is when it comes to matters that have the chance to get him bored.” Kurama stated. “I don’t mind if he gets bored as long as he doesn’t set my palace on fire.” Yami replied.    Kurama chuckled before saying,                “Just be sure to tell him what will happen to him if he does set the palace on fire.” “Nothing too horrible, just a swim in the ice cold waters of the Antarctic.” Yami said chuckling.           &nbs p; “How would he burn down the palace, is he some sort of pyromaniac?” Skyla asked. “No Skyla; Hiei is a fire demon so setting the palace ablaze wouldn’t be a very difficult task for a man like him.” Yami answered, looking down at her. “Oh, so where’s the cold water to dowse him with when he heats up; we did bring cold water with us didn’t we?” Skyla asked nervously. “Don’t worry Skyla, he won’t burn me, he’s been a friend of mine for a while now and he wouldn’t do something to hurt me.” Yami stated. “Well that’s just fine and dandy for you; it’s Bakura, Yugi, Ryou, Ishtar, Malik, and me that I’m worried about.” Skyla said sarcastically.   Yami chuckled before saying,   “I’m sorry Skyla; I guess I should’ve said that he won’t burn us. Where are the others anyway?” Yami asked. “There out back training; you know how Hiei and Yusuke are.” Kurama answered. “Oh yeah, work-o’-holics” Yami answered. “And you’re not a work-o’-holic Yami?” Skyla questioned. “What happened to the shy servant that I had?” Yami asked laughing a bit. “She’s on vacation right now, but if you leave a message and your name she’ll get back to you sometime in the next millennium or so.” Skyla said (sounding somewhat like an answering machine.)   Kurama laughed and the others snickered while Yami looked at Skyla dumbstruck.            &n bsp;  “What, didn’t expect a sarcastic remark from me?” Skyla asked. “Well, it’s just that you were never THAT sarcastic in anything that you said to me.” Yami answered after regaining his composure. “Are you sure?” Skyla asked. “I’m positive.” Yami answered. “Whatever you say Yami.” Skyla said slyly.   Yami turned to Kurama again, who led them out of the house and into the back yard where Yusuke and Hiei were definitely training and it looked to Skyla like they were an even match.   “So Hiei, still haven’t been able to defeat Yusuke I see.” Yami said, bringing the two sparring men’s attention to him. “Yami, what business brings you here?” Hiei asked none too politely. “I need you to join my council since I need to replace the council members that died.” Yami answered. “Oh, so you came for replacements.” Yusuke said. “Yes, I guess you could say that.” Yami answered. “Okay then let’s go.” Yusuke said while heading toward the door to get his things from his room. “Wait a minute why didn’t you tell me this?!” Kewabara said in a panic “Do you understand the kinds of matters you handle while you’re on the council numbskull?” Hiei asked him sarcastically. “Um, no not really, but I’d still like to join you guys.” Kewabara answered. “Don’t worry about him, he can be another guard.” Yami said. “Oh thank you!” Kewabara said enthusiastically before bouncing off to his room to pack his things.   They returned to the palace before night fall to find everyone running around frantically.            & nbsp;  “What’s going on?!” Yami demanded. “Milord, you’re back! We just got a report that the Nubian people want to start a war and are heading this way as we speak to try and overthrow you!” One of the guards explained. “Rally the troops, if they want a war, we’ll give them one!” Yami stated as he got his armor and prepared to go into battle. “Sorry I have to cut this short, but I have my kingdom to save.” Yami apologized to his guests. “No problem, we’ll help you.” Yusuke said as he and his friends prepared to fight. Jin and Touya were looking for some action, as were the others. “Skyla you stay here where you’ll be safe.” Yami ordered. “But…I can help you.” Skyla protested. “You are to stay here and that is final!” Yami nearly yelled, causing her to storm off to his room and slam the door. “You might wanna fix her wounded ego if we live through this war.” Hiei suggested. “We will; the Nubian people aren’t that strong.” Yami commented confidently. “Then let’s head out and kick some ass!” Yusuke said enthusiastically.   Skyla was so mad that Yami made her stay in the palace that she snuck out of the palace and into the desert only to get into trouble with the enemy which was lead by Keith as he managed to make a deal with the  Nubians to get him out of the dungeon. As soon as he grabbed her she looked at him and said,   “It’s you?! You’re behind this war?!” “Of course I am girl, you didn’t expect me not to try and get revenge for being thrown in the dungeon now did you?” He answered as his grip tightened on her arm and she winced. After he thought a while, he got an Idea of what to do with her. “Tie her to the catapult! That’s bound to be the first thing that the pharaoh will try to take out!” He ordered the commander. “You’re wrong, he’s most likely gonna attempt to take down the leader first!!” Skyla yelled, even as they tied her to the catapult. “I highly doubt that; he’ll wanna save his palace over anything else.” Keith said with a smirk as he watched her struggle to free herself.   Meanwhile, Yami was looking for the leader when he saw that Skyla had gotten herself into trouble again as she was tied to a catapult. Instead of seeking the leader, he pulled something Keith didn’t expect and summoned his Dark Magician to free her and bring her to him. Once that was done he continued to seek the leader while his mage held tightly onto Skyla. Once Yami found Keith, he got into a fighting stance and fought him with everything he had until he managed to kill him. During the battle though, Keith pulled a few unexpected moves and Yami didn’t get out without a few bruises for his efforts. Yami then made his way over to Dark and Skyla to scold her for leaving.              ;  “I thought I told you not to leave the palace, and to stay in my room!” He yelled. “You never said that! You just said that I can’t fight along-side you!” Skyla yelled back, getting a slap across the face for her efforts. “I expect you to obey my orders without question! Do you understand me?!” He yelled. “If I’m so much trouble to you, why don’t you let me rot in the dungeons like all the other filth down there?!” Skyla yelled before cringing, expecting another blow to the face for it.   Yami drew back his hand to smack her again when he saw her cringe away from him. He didn’t understand why, but her last comment stung painfully.            &nb sp;  “Maybe because I’m not that heartless.” He said quietly, looking away from her. “You fooled me!” Skyla snapped before finally managing to struggle out of Dark’s arms and running back into the palace and into Yami’s room. She was trying really hard not to shed tears, but it was almost impossible. “Master, you’re falling for her aren’t you?” Dark asked calmly. “What gave you that idea?!” Yami asked, trying to ignore the stinging in his heart. “Master, I know you better than you think; I can tell that her words hurt you.” Dark explained. “Well…I guess that maybe…maybe I am falling for her just a little.” Yami admitted, though, Dark could tell that it was more than just a little as he went back into the shadow realm, since the war was over and Yami was clearly lost in thought.   Hiei brought him out of it though by asking coldly,   “What happened between you two this time?” “Nothing, she’s just a little upset about being left out of the fighting.” Yami answered, heading back into his room where he just went to his bed and lie down as he felt that she wouldn’t want to talk to him anytime soon; that, and she looked like she was sleeping herself.   “You shouldn’t have yelled at me you know.” Skyla said quietly.   Yami turned to face her surprised that she was talking to him.   “I’m sorry, I was under a lot of stress and I wanted to get the war done and over with.” Yami apologized; he really loved Skyla; and it was for that reason that he didn’t care if it was beneath him to apologize to her. “I understand that Yami, but I just wanted to help.” Skyla explained. “I know, and I should’ve let you.” Yami stated with a small smile. When she smiled back at him, he knew that their little fight was over and forgotten. Then, Yami remembered something, “I’m also sorry that I slapped you.” He apologized again. “I’ve already forgiven you for that.” Skyla said quietly.   ***   End Chapter 6 – I’ll bring Yugi, Ryou, and Malik back in the next chapter; if I can get my muse back so that I can get more ideas.
