Chapter 8

 

“You're saying that I was Pharaoh.” Yami stared at Maha, feeling something dark and hard well up in his chest.

“I believe so.” She said quietly.

Bakura frowned. Truth be told, he didn't particularly fell like killing them. He had foolishly allowed them to grow close to him, almost-friends and allies…

It would be a waste in any case. The palace was gone, along with the monsters, weren't they?

“Have you finally remembered?”

“Yes.” Her voice was falling deeper in range, and he stared in disbelief as her features seemed to melt, slightly, feminine characteristics giving way to masculine, but still almost androgynous…

The Sennen Ring winked on his chest as golden shoulder guards were added, dangling pendants, a matching belt lined in cobalt and sapphire…

He should have known.

“High Priest Mahaado.” Bakura commented idly. “The only one killed along with the Pharaoh. Died protecting him in some honorable manner. That would be you.”

Maha - no, Mahaado, Yami's mind corrected, inclined her - his head.

“I never knew you could shape shift.”

“I did not remember I could. But I have them all now.” And the magic she - he called up was not purple as the normal summoning magic that anyone with a strong will could call. It was a rich, green, crackling with power, so much power!

Illusions could be damn powerful.

Yami buried his face in his hands. “I robbed my own father's tomb?”

“A forgivable oversight. Tis my fault.” Mahaado took his hands. “I was in charge of the Royal Tombs, after all. That was how I knew every single bloody trap there was.”

“Your father wasn't a great man, anyhow.” Bakura said caustically.

Yami sighed.

Mahaado locked eyes with him, and began to chant. Yami leaned up and kissed him to make him shut up.

Bakura wolf-whistled, and ignored the dirty looks both of them shot him.

 

“Don't you dare let me take the easy way out, Mahaado?” Yami glared. “Don't!”

Mahaado looked offended. “I was trying to chant a powerful memory spell to bring your memories back, my Pharaoh, not erase them…”

“Oh.” Yami suddenly felt rather sheepish as he nodded. “All right.”

Mahaado finished his incantation, and fireworks exploded behind Yami's eyes in a continuous whirl of black flames. Mahaado caught him as he began to fall, ignoring Bakura's raised eyebrow.

Yami screamed.

Mahaado looked sympathetic, but made no further movements. For a long time, only the sound of Yami's ragged breathing drifted through the ghost town.

Finally, ruby eyes widened. Yami's hair suddenly grew out, falling to mid-back in a series of crimson-tipped black, complete with the blonde lightning bangs in the front.

“What have we done?” His voice sounded strained, hollow. “What have we done…? Mahaado, what have we…?”

“My Pharaoh…”

Yami's eyes were wide with madness, and the Priest knew it. What was one more sin? He brushed against one of the pendants at his belt, forming a dagger. Without a word, he slid it between his Pharaoh's ribs.

Yami coughed blood, but his expression was one of gratitude. Mahaado gently lay him down on the ground and turned to Bakura.

“Take care of the Sennen Items for us, Bakura…Fulfill your wish. They belong to your family after all.”

Bakura nodded, still not quite believing what he was seeing. Damn love! Damn that vaunted concept of honor!
Mahaado held Yami close to him as he began to chant again. After several moments had passed, both of them vanished into the Puzzle, which fell to the ground and shattered into its component pieces.

Bakura sighed as he stared at it. Well, on the bright side, all the Items were his now… but even as he called Zork to raze Egypt; he had to concede that it wasn't as grand as he dreamed of.

Was he… sorry they were dead?

Impossible.

Yep, done! ^^ Another `How did Yami get sealed into the Puzzle' fic.

And now - why is Mahaado female? Well, I figure with the golden shoulder pads he wears, and the really deep voice the animators gave him, he seemed to be overcompensating for something. *Cough* like not really being male, so he's a girl in a lot of my fics! And he stays so covered up that it could be possible! (Though I do wonder how he binds himself so well… anyways…)

Yeah, Mahaado and Bakura friendship! I can't see em as a couple, but maybe friends in AU is okay…
