Chapter 02 - Attack

CHAPTER: 2/??

DISCLAIMER: Yu-Gi-Oh! and its characters don’t belong to me. The Series would be very different if they were...Only this piece of fiction as far as the plotline and stuff goes, is mine. So don’t sue. You’ll only get an immensely high lawyer bill because I stated that this is only a piece of Fanfiction and I don’t make money with it. It’s just for fun and entertainment. Flames will be used for heating because I think that my heater’s broken yet again...

SPOILERS!!!!: Ancient Egypt Arc, Doom Saga, End of Battle City etc. (Why? I’ve watched the Anime up to Episode 186 and read the Manga up to the Chapter where Pharaoh’s Real Name was revealed and the Destiny Duel between Priest Seth(I call him that...It’s confusing if you call both of them Seto...) and the Pharaoh. So if you really mind...Don’t read. *sigh*

If questions should arise, concerning these spoilers, just drop me a review oremaiemail and I’ll do my best in explaining things to you!

WARNINGS: Very strange grammar ‘cause I’m no native English Speaker(or writer for that fact) and chaos. And a lot of confusion concerning all the Names... Yami, Hikari, Aibou, Mou Hitori no Boku... Because I like them all I’ll just mix everything into this...But if there should be any mistakes or misunderstandings feel free to say so! I knom stm strange. And I’m damn proud of that!
What else is to say? Oh yeah! Shonen-Ai up to mild Yaoi is to be expected in later chapters as well as mild violence, language (I try to avoid that though) and a lot of strangeness. Perhaps a little bit of HET on the side (funny how the things change over the years. I was so used to write Shonen Ai/Yaoi warnings and now everybody has to warn the people of they’re going to put in het... *g*)

PAIRINGS: Seto x Yami; Bakura x Malik; very mild Joey + Mai (only het one so far) ... We’ll see, ne? Expect lot’s of strange pairings though. On the side... Main pairing wil stay Seto x Yami and Priest Seth x Pharaoh Atemu (I call him that because as a German...I can’t bring myself to write “Atem” because it means ‘Breath’ in German...And that would be just...Odd...)

Chapter 02 – Attack


His eyes caught a gleam in the faint moonlight. A knife! His mind registered a raised knife and...Dear Lord, Yuugi was sleeping! Was that guy about to... “Yuugi!”, he dashed forward, yelling the others name butore ore he reached the curtain he saw how the knife went down and...

Yuugi was woken up by someone yelling his name and just in time to see a knife coming down, aimed at him. He rolled to the side, falling out of the bed but avoided beint byt by the sharp object. He crashed into Kaiba instead. “Kaiba-kun! What...What’s happening?”, the smaller youth looked from Kaiba to the attacker with confused, violet eyes. “I don’t know...But...That guy tried to stab you. Kill you while you were sleeping. You’re lucky I could see him through the curtain.”, icy blue eyes narrowed and became slits, fixing the assassin with a glare, which would’ve even put a Demon to shame.

The assassin, though, showed no reaction to it, as if he was immune or even used to this cold glare of the young CEO. “**You can’t scare me away with that look. I have seen it far too often on your young face already. Like I thought... You didn’t change at all. The two of you...**”, he inclined his head at Yuugi in an almost mocking manner. “**It’s been long, Pharaoh! **” Of course, Yuugi couldn’t understand what he was saying but he could feel Yami not being very happy with it. Strangely though, his darker self didn’t come out...Or was he holding back on purpose? It had been him, Yuugi, who’d been attacked after all. /But if I die, Yami would ‘die’ too...Well, he’d vanish from this realm but he wouldn’t be really dead. Because...He is not exactly living either, is he?/

Coming to that conclusion, he turned over to Kaiba and was about to say something but stopped dead in his tracks. The taller youth was staring at the shadowy figure with unbelieving, wide eyes and he was... “Kaiba! You’re trembling! Is something wrong?”, he hesitantly lay a hand on the CEOs arm and looked up at his rival concernedly. Did the brownhaired youth really look...Frightened? No, Kaiba wasn’t afraid of this man. He was...Shocked? Surprised? About something the man said...?


/No way...No...Way...I...Why do I feel like I know this voice? But...I have never heard it in this life. I not not heard it for a very long time...Why...NO! Seto! Stop this nonsense!/, but his mind and body had other ideas. He pushed Yuugi behind him protectively. “I can’t explain, Yuugi but...Somehow I know that voice...But I can’t think of anyone it belongs to yet. Only...That it was someone very powerful and dangerous maybe. Proven by the Dagger he carries. It’s a special Artifact. Used in ancient Egypt for some ceremonies or something like that. Forbidden ceremonies. Because that thing is cursed.” He didn’t tell the smaller youth everything he ‘knew’. There was more to it but Seto didn’t want to reveal these details yet. /Well...That wasn’t entirely true. I have used it once...Indirectly. To seal KAA...A Soul - Light./ His strange thoughts were interrupted by a low rumble.

A new voice, joined with the one which they’d already heard, spoke to them now. The figure in front of them seemed to move like a puppet now. Like he was controlled by someone. “To obtain our goal... The essence of the Soul has to be sealed away...!”, the figure turned over to Yuugi and ‘stared’ at him but you couldn’t really tell because neither of them saw the attackers eyes. The guy was wearing a loose, black cloak, hiding both his face and his statue, so that no one could tell how strong he was or rather, how he was build. Slender or broad. Alarms went of in Yuugi’s head and he took another step back, hiding behind Seto entirely. “You damn freak! What do you want? I will not allow you to harm him! ... I still haven’t defeated him yet! And no one will defeat him...Except for me!”, he quickly added the last two sentences, covering up his strange protectiveness.

“Still so obsessive, I see...”, the dark figure taunted and Seto launched himself at it. Yuugi didn’t recognize the fighting techniques but their movements looked very graceful and fluid. And beautiful. As if the two were dancing in a way. Suddenly, he sensed recognition from his darker half. Did Yami know? //Yami? What are they doing there? You know what’s going on, don’t you?// It took a moment for the other to answer. /~ I think I do... This is an old fighting technique...An old style. From Egypt...It’s from my time. I was taught these also... ' But the former Pharaoh was not telling his Light everything. He wasn’t lying, he knew this style, this technique. And only one...One other individual who knew how to fight in this graceful manner. So perfect. /It can’t be...It just can’t be...Even though they look so alike.y hiy him? Why...? Of all people... Oh Ra... Do you gods want to test me?/

Seto too, was lost in thought. It was as if his body got a mind of its own. He just ‘felt’ like he recognized these movements it wasn’t more than just a slight tingle in the back of his mind. Yet his body seemed to have a better memory, moving without him really controlling it. And suddenly, he realized with shock, he felt it. He felt, that it was right. That these movements were right and that they sort of ‘belonged’ to him. His style, his unique technique.

The shadow seemed to think the same. “**Your body remembers, Seth! When will your Soul? Or rather, your mind? **”, hrrierried a kick of the brown-haired boy and continued then, with that same raspy voice, no longer mixed with the dark, menacing and creepy one, “**This Tournament will certainly lead you to your past. Lead you towards the point of finally accepting who you once were and still are, in a way. This time will come, sooner or later. But I can tell you...The sooner, the better, for you and those around you. It’d be an advantage in this Tournament. **”


But the young CEO, now stopping dead in his tracks, was too stubborn to admit this just yet. “I don’t believe this reincarnation and magic powers crap! Leave me the hell alone with it!”, he hissed and lunged forwards with more precise movements, learned in several self-defense classes or in the Martial Arts courses in school. A low and rough laugh came from the other figure, “**Says one of the most powerful Mages who has ever existed on this planet. How pathetic. Well, since you won’t believe in it now I’m afra’ll ’ll have to show you...To prove it to you, ne? **”

Lifting one hand, the figure began to chant in a low voice so that neither Seto nor Yuugi could understand, what he was saying. Suddenly, a bright flash of light was thrown at the taller youth and he froze, enveloped by a strange, eerie glow. The light seemed to hold him in place, as if he was rooted to the spot. /What the...I can’t move!/ He looked up and glared at the other figure. “Let me go!”, he growled and tried to struggle against his seemingly invisible bonds. With no avail.

His efforts became more desperate when he saw the figure approach Yuugi from the corner of his eyes. /No! Leave him alone...!/, he couldn’t even speak anymore. Frustration welled up inside of him, he hated to be helpless. And to be deemed to watch. Even though he wanted...He couldn’t do anything right now. It scared him and made him furious at the same time. The feeling of helplessness wasn’t a very pleasant one and someone very close to him was in danger right now.

In his troubled state, he hadn’t noticed that he’d referred to Yuugi as someone close and dear to him. Someone else beside Mokuba. But this fact went by unnoticed. For now anyway. It will return and cause an even greater turmoil and it would bring forth a set of feelings buried a long time ago.

Yuugi took a step back when the figure approached him with long, graceful strides. It wouldn’t take long until it reached him and he was backed up against the wall. Not a very good position to be in right now. “Now to us, little Yuugi...Since...We’re practically alone now...”, the shadow had switched from that ancient language to Japanese, so that Yuugi could understand him.


/~ Aibou! Let me...!! ', Yami’s frantic voice could be heard. But it seemed so faint...So far away.

//I can’t Yami! I tried...I really did...But...We can’t! We...We can’t switch!//, Yuugi hadn’t noticed that the same light which had paralyzed Seto surrounded him now him as well. He couldn’t move and he couldn’t let Yami take over to do something.

/~ But Yuugi! That’s impossible! It c- ...', silence. Yami’s voice had died down to nothing and his presence faded into the darkness. He was gone.

//No! Stay with me Yami! Yami?? Answer me please! Where are you? YAMII!!//, tears welled up in the frightened, large, violet eyes and ran down his delicate cheeks. And he cried the name of his darker half again but this time, out loud. “Yamii!!!!”[1]

His mind was so numb, he hadn’t realized that the knife the figure had been holding had begun to glow in a bright light, transforming into a light spear. Said spear had been rammed into the puzzle and came out on the other side, now sinking slowly into his body. [2]

It wasn’t until the pain brought him back to reality that he noticed what was happening to him and he cried out in pain and agony. At the same time, the hold on him was released and he doubled over, falling onto his knees in the process.


With a look of horror on his face, Seto watched from his position on the other side of the room, what the dark figure did to the youth with the spiky, tri-colored hair. His eyes widened when the long spear was rammed into the fragile body of the other through the golden puzzle around his neck. If he’d been able to move he’d have shuddered when Yuugi had cried out in pain.

He felt his blood begin to boil when his eyes shifted to the figure towering over the fallen youth. “You bastard!! Whathellhell did you do to him!!??”, his voice had returned, even though a bit shaky and raspy. The shadow turned towards him and let out a booming laugh, the voice again, being overlapped by another, which sent shivers down Seto’s spine and made his blood curl, “**Well, that’s for me to know...And for you to find out, my dear High Priest...**”

Somewhere elseo sio silhouettes were looking up to the moon, which slowly turned crimson. An eclipse. “And so...It begins...”, a low voice whispered into the cool night air. Nodding in agreement the other pointed at the blood red moon above them. “The Seal was activated...”[3]


To be continued...


[1] – I’m experimenting with a new structure here. Since FF.net and other archives tend to screw up my story structures...

[2] – I can see the potential flamers already...(Trust me, it happened before...) People, this is fanfiction and the fanfiction is about an Anime/Manga! Everything’s possible there! K??

[3] – Fear the power of OCs! But don’t worry! I hate mary sues and so this won’t be one! Still, there will be some new and unknown people popping out later in this fic. I mean... It would be boring if it were always the same people, ne? Look at the newest Filler Arc! KC Grand Prix...


~*~*~

I have to apologize that this chapter is so damn short. But I can’t put more information and action into it than I already did. There are other chapters I need to write! And they need a decent storyline too. Even though Chapter 3 is a mess...


Thank you for the (even though few) reviews up to now!
Please write and tell me if I should continue this!

Oh and if you ‘liked’ the cliffy from the first chapter...You have to love this one...XD I’m mean, I know. But I promise that I’ll try to make at least the next chapter without a cliffy. Even though they are what urges people on to read the stories, ne? Ne??

CLIFFHANGER 4 EVER!! *g*

Sorry, couldn’t resist. I’ll stop rambling now.
