BFK: Chapter FOUR! W00T W00T!
Terra: -unenthusiastically- Hooray.
BFK: Oh, zip it. This chapter, we get a visit from Shadi, informing the boys, Terra, and her friends about an entirely new set of items, the “Celestial Items,” which each one of them is a bearer of. The items and their bearers are as follows:
(Item/Bearer)
Celestial Rose/Terra
Celestial Sphere/Josh
Celestial Tear/Lexi
Celestial Ring/Jake
Celestial Star/Isun
Celestial Flame/Emily
Celestial Staff/May
Yes, each item DOES come with a Yami. Yes, I am aware that the situation is slightly Mary-Sueish. Yes, Terra is going to complain about that fact, lol.
/Hikari/
//Yami//
The next morning, I crawled out of bed, stretching. The second I heard a male voice swearing, I jumped out of bed, raced into my closet, and changed in a blur. In the end, I was wearing jeans and a t-shirt I made myself with: “You can learn a lot of life lessons from anime!” on the front, and a list of “life lessons” on the back. (1) It took me a bit to remember that Yugi, Ryou, and Malik were here, but when I did, I relaxed and poked my head out.
“ISHTAL! YOU WOKE ME UP! WHAT THE HELL IS SO FREAKING IMPORTANT, DAMMIT!” I shouted. Malik jumped about ten feet in the air, so I could see what had shocked him. For one thing, sitting on my couch was Shadi. For another, my cousin May was waggling a finger at me from the door to the kitchen.
“She just popped out of nowhere! Both of them did!” He replied, cowed by my Ultimate Ferocity. (I like to pride myself on being scarier than any 5,000-year-old tomb robber, 5,000-year-old Pharaoh OR vertically-challenged fire demon. (2) ) I rolled my eyes.
“She's May. Popping out of nowhere is what she does.” I replied, rolling my eyes. “And Shadi's the same way. You ought to know that by now.” By this point, Yugi-erm-Yami Yugi-had come out.
“Tomb keeper…” He said dangerously. I glared at him.
“Shadi and my cousin both popped out of nowhere. Can you blame him for being a little surprised? Besides, I already chewed him out. Or did you miss my little tirade?” I grinned.
“I didn't, no.” He replied. Yami Bakura, whom I assumed I had awoken with my shouting, glared at me.
“Is there a possibility you could yell any louder? I think there are a few people in the far reaches of Russia who didn't hear you.” He said flatly.
“You paid too much attention to Isun and Josh yesterday.” I said flatly. “Not that I mind. Its better you learn American-style sarcasm. If you need insult help, I am right here.” I grinned evilly. Of course, Shadi had to interject.
“Ah, I would assume you two ladies would be Miss Terra Cooper and Miss May Saito?” He asked. We both nodded. “Well then, I do have a bit of a surprise for you two.” He chuckled.
“They aren't new items, are they?” I asked nervously. He sighed and nodded. I threw my hands up in the air. “MARY-SUISHNESS!” I shouted in irritation. Shadi just sighed.
“And if I said that they were not Millennium Items, but part of an entirely new set of seven?” He asked. I sighed.
“Better, but not by much.” I replied, a hint of disgust in my voice. I HATED the whole situation, as it made me seem like some crazy Mary-Sue bitch.
“I believe that is good enough for me.” Then, he turned to Yami Bakura, grinning that evil, omniscient grin that made me want to strangle him. It had its classic effect. I wished I could wrap my hands around his neck and strangle him slowly…and…painfully… “I do believe you'll remember this particular Item? The Celestial Rose?” He held up a small silver rose on a chain. The tomb robber's eyes flashed.
“I sure as hell do. That was Kemisi's.” There was something in the connotation of that name that I couldn't quite place. I shrugged it off.
“Well, this Item now falls into the hands of her reincarnation-Miss Cooper.” I about jumped out of my skin at my name. Yami Bakura's examining gaze was a little awkward, especially when his eyes lingered for quite a while on mine.
“She does look like Kemisi-ignoring the obvious Yami/Hikari differences…” He concluded.
“I feel like a zoo animal.” I commented offhand. Shadi smirked before tossing me the necklace. I snatched it out of the air and put it on. Suddenly, I felt a presence settle in the back of my mind. Luckily, I was standing in front of the couch, so when I fell over, I landed on something soft…
I landed (mentally) inside my soul room. Explore later. Find yami now. I told myself, opening the door and stepping into the “hallway” between soul rooms. I spotted an imposing door, and shuffled across the hallway, opening it. Standing there, arms crossed, was a girl almost identical to me, except she was taller, her hair fluffed out, and her eyes were narrower.
“You must be Kemisi.” I said, no inflection in my voice.
“You're my hikari, then.” She stated, more than asked, but I nodded anyway.
“I'm Terra Cooper.” She sneered at me.
“Do I look like I CARE?” She asked. I stalked over to her, grabbing the front of her Egyptian-style dress and pulling her face down so it was even with mine.
“Listen to me, thief-bitch. I will not take ANY shit from you. In fact, I don't take shit from ANYONE.” I tossed her backwards, the same dark look on my face. I was shocked when she grinned.
“Excellent. I have a tough hikari. And here I was, worried you were a wimp.”
“Well, now that you know I'm NOT, do we have an accord?” I asked. She shook my outstretched hand.
“We do. By the way, may I take over for a while?”
“Eh, why not?” I shrugged.
“Thanks.”
Yami Bakura's POV
I had to bite back a shout of surprise when Terra fell over backwards. The Pharaoh and the tombkeeper both shouted, though, and they shouted AGAIN when May fell over backwards after coming in contact with the Celestial Staff. By this point, Shadi had poofed.
“Would the both of you SHUT THE HELL UP?!” A voice I never thought I'd hear again snapped at both the Pharaoh and the tombkeeper. “Terra” was awake, and had a damn pissed off expression on her face. Except it wasn't Terra. Her eyes were narrower, she was at least an inch taller, and her hair fluffed out.
“Kemisi?” I asked.
“Wha-BAKURA?!” Kemisi shot up off the couch. “Holy SHIT! Why didn't my hikari tell me you were here?” She was instantly by my side. “I missed you!” Before either Malik or the Pharaoh could react, I wrapped her in my arms.
“I missed you too.” And then, I pressed my lips to hers.
Back To Terra's POV
I had materialized in spirit form, wanting to see how this turned out. When Yami Bakura not only wrapped Kemisi in his arms, but kissed her, the expression on the Pharaoh and Malik's faces were priceless. (I bet the expression on mine was, too.) May and Ryou had also materialized in spirit form, and their expressions were equally as priceless. The only one without a jaw well on its way to meeting the ground was (I assumed) Yami May-in other words, whoever was in control of May's body.
“Did they...did he…what just happened?” Malik managed to stutter out.
“I think they just kissed.” I said, managing to pick my jaw up off of the floor. “By the way, Pharaoh, I'd close my mouth before it gets stuck like that.” I grinned at his expression. He did, indeed, end up getting his jaw off the ground.
“…That was the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my life.” May stated. I nodded in agreement as the two broke their kiss. At our expressions, they both quirked up an eyebrow.
“What? Never seen a kiss before?” Kemisi asked.
“We have, it's just the fact that it was Bakura.” Malik said.
“On that note…” I walked up behind my yami and bopped her over the head. Yes, I knew she couldn't feel it. “That better not have counted as my fist kiss, `cause if it did you will both find yourselves feeling what I do to you for weeks.” I threatened.
“Ooh, some mortal's threatening me. I'm terrified!” Yami Bakura laughed.
“You'd better be.” I growled.
“You're kinda scary when you're mad, you know that?” May asked.
“Did you just figure that out?” Her yami spoke, and I about jumped out of my skin.
“Oh, shut up, ya Hiei wannabe.” May stuck her tongue out at her yami.
“Hn.”
“Y'see? Hiei wannabe!”
“Would you mind telling us her name?” I asked, irritated.
“Oh, yeah. She's Kiya, and from what I get she worked with you two in Egypt.” May pointed to Kemisi and Bakura.
“Kiya! I remember you!” Kemisi said. “Its good to see you again.”
“Hn.”
“Is she always like that?” Malik asked. Kemisi nodded.
“She is.” The Egyptian girl nodded.
“Wonderful.” I sighed. Suddenly, there was a knock on my door. I sped over, and, somehow, managed to be solid enough to open the door. In stalked my friends, minus Aurora. When Isun digested the situation, from there being two me's, to May being there, to there being two of her, to there being two Bakuras.
“…Okay, now I'm a little lost.” She said. I grinned.
“May I introduce my yami-dark side- Kemisi, girlfriend to Yami Bakura (“HEY!”) (“What, it's true!”) and May's yami, Kiya, a former member of their band of thieves.”
I said.
I said.
“Oh, so you've got one now too?” Josh asked.
“Yup. Wait—you have one?” I asked.
“We all do. That Shadi dude showed up, gave us our Items, and poofed. After he poofed, we all became acquainted with our yamis, and guess what? Mine is an over-hyper chick that's on permanent sugar-high!” Isun threw her hands up in the air.
“Not exactly a typical yami, eh?” Malik asked.
“Nope!” A bright and bubbly voice spoke up. We turned, to see a second Isun. Isun's yami. The main difference was the two purple streaks that framed the second one's face. “Hiya! I'm Aisha!” She said brightly. May blinked.
“You are now Mini-Botan.” She said, nodding. I couldn't help but laugh at Aisha's confused look.
“Botan is a character in one of or favorite mangas. She's hyperactive, bright, and bubbly.” I explained. Aisha nodded.
“Oh.” Then, she spotted Yami Yugi. “Pharaoh!” She squeaked and bowed. “I was Isis's student.” She said. Yami Yugi smiled.
“How could I forget you?” He asked. “After all, you could always be counted on for a laugh.” Aisha blushed.
“Well, yes…”
/Five bucks says a lot of it was slapstick./ I thought to Kemisi through our mind link. She snorted mentally in return.
“Can I complain about my yami, too?” Josh asked.
“Why don't we have a sit-down complaint session, eh?” I asked, adjusting my butt so I was on the back of the couch, but I lost my balance and fell-THROUGH the couch. “Wah-OOMPH!”
“Oh, that was REAL intelligent, hikari.” Kemisi rolled her eyes at me.
“You know, that seems like something May would do…” Josh mused, breaking out in laughter.
“That is something I've wanted to do…” May said.
“YOU try falling through a couch and landing on your butt. It's NOT funny.” I said, rematerializing. Isun then crossed her arms.
“Okay, so we've got superpowers. Do we have to save the world?”
