[IC] Yugioh: The King's Shadow

[MegaraFoxfire]

Mokuba laughed and ran to him, hugging him tightly. "I was starting to worry about you Seto, what happened to you?" Yugi walked over and said "ya, Joey said you went after one of the Brotherhood...are you alright?" Serena was sleeping soundly, Adam putting a blanket over her and Yami. He smiled and said "You both are starting to remember...I hope it does more good them bad..."

[Jazz]

Seto kneeled when Mokuba ran over to him, opening his arms out to his brother and hugged him. Seto smiled only for it to disappear a few moments. "I was. A guy named Drake apparently. He was the one that had Ishizu captured and I tried to catch him hoping to question him. He escaped." Seto told them. Joey sat down infront of the couch again.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Yugi sighed then said "I'm just glad your alright...Serena and Yami had a rough one..." He looked back at the resting pair, Adam standing with his back to them. Tristan said "did we learn anything from this at least?"

[Jazz]

Seto still had ahold of his brother till he let him go but then ruffled his puffy black long hair before standing. "I don't know why I wouldn't be. I was followed." Kaiba had that odd sense that he was being followed. That will happen when you are a rich kid with a company such as Kaiba Corp. Though when Tristen asked abut what anyone has learned, Joey raised his hand. Yes. He just raised his hand. "Well Figured out Im known as a blessed according to a goddess. Though now that I think about it...Duke. You have that pendant right?"

Duke was listening in and nodded. "I do. What about it?"

Joey help up the pendant he had. "I got one too after meeting a goddess named Rennet. Goddess of Luck or something. I think your a blessed too." Duke seemed intrigued. "Makes sense. Makes me wonder what other gods are out there that seem to want to get into this."
Joey shrugged. Tristen can back me up on this but Rennet said that there will be gods that will take sides."
Seto looked unsurprised. "Fun. Now we got more mumbo jumbo to worry about. Seems we got quite the job."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ishizu suddenly asked "did Serena say Apep before?" Adam turned and nodded. "Ya...do you know him?" She nodded and said "he was a god but cast out in times of old because he wanted the living world as his domain, not the world of darkness he ruled. Another God with the aid of his blessed cast him out before he could take power...that's what it says in the records of our people" Tristan said "so...Apep is coming back to finish what he started back then?"

[Jazz]

Joey whistled. "Well thats just Great. Just when we thought the events of Battle City to taking a trip to Yami's past was a roller coaster, this is a whole new ride of together and much more crazier!" Wheeler stated bluntly. "Seems gods are just tryin' to rule the world now a days." Obviously not pleased and somewhat pouting and complaining. Seto rolled his eyes at Joey's pitiful banter of complaints. But he was right to a point. Duke looked among the group. "So what do we do now? Wait till they strike again? Besides, who is this 'Drake' guy that Kaiba mentioned? Anyone know? He does seem a bit sketchy since he is the only guy within this Brotherhood that we can actually have a name and possibly a face compared to those other lackies that we've been seeing." At this time Seto looked to Adam as he stood up but stayed next to Mokuba.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Adam sighed and said as he turned "his was a friend of Aaron and Serena's....and he is my half brother. We thought he was in Europe with Serena until she came back and said he never got there...I guess now we know why"

[Jazz]

Seto smirked. "Seems this is just even more interesting by the day. If it isn't gods at one point than its about something else. Makes you wonder how long he has been with this Brotherhood."

[MegaraFoxfire]

Adam shook his head and said "I'm not sure...I never thought he would do something like this..." Adam looked at his watch and said "it's getting late, you guys want me to order some food? The kitchen here has nothing in it right now..." Tristan nodded and said "sounds great. I'll help ya"

A few hours later the food was there and Adam showed the group to a bigger sitting area, so the pair could rest in peace. Or it was wishful thinking. Serena started to turn in her sleep, muttering softly.

Zahara was walking down a hallway when a voice called to her. "Lady Zahara, a word" she turned to see Seth behind her, looking tired. "I wanted to ask you about this threat you have been worried about" Zahara turned and said "the pharaoh just asked I look into a matter, it's nothing to worry about yet" she walked away and ducked j to a room and sighed. She rubbed her eyes. "I wish I had more to tell you, my friend...but even I know nothing..."

[Jazz]

The rest of the group went to help besides Seto who stayed in the room with the sleeping pair for a while going to join them. Joey was somewhat back to his usual self, chatting away, even while stuffing his face. Of course this starting when food was served.

Within the room, Yami had rolled from his back to his side, only to after a few minutes, slowly came too though rolled onto his stomach with the Puzzle having slide to the side as the young male move. Crossing his arms while sprawled on the cushions, his face hidden by his arms. With a small groan, he opened his eyes to realize something and rolled over quickly to be sitting on butt and looking around frantically only to realize where he was and settled down, slowly relaxing till he settled back where he was only he was looking at the sleeping form of Serena. Feeling his muscles give out, Yami then let his head rest on his crossed arms before and looking at the room from what he could see of from where he was. He didn't really know what to do. He was more concentrated on remembering what happened back at the museum. Only when he got to the point where he had seen Serena in pain made him shake his head quickly knowing that she was here and alright. But then felt the failure of having been able to protect Tristen from that red eyed god. Though was feeling scared, afraid because of the raised powers that he somehow managed to use without his name being said. Scared of himself.

[MegaraFoxfire]

A weak voice said "you don't have to fear...ill be there from now on...I promise" Serena had her eyes slightly open, watching him. "It's alright now...please don't worry yourself about the past..."

[Jazz]

Yami heard the weak voice only to lift his head to see Serena with her eyes slightly open and looking at him. "What I did. I don't know how I did it, but it wasn't something I should have been able to do." Yami lowered his head to where the arm of the couch hid his face. "I have never felt from what I felt from today." He told her quietly, his head resting on his arms again and looking toward the back of the couch.

[MegaraFoxfire]

She sat up a little and said "you have never felt fear like that, Yami...even the keys of power must give to the pressure and force on the door...I've never been able to cast gods away like I've done twice now...but for wanting to protect you, I was able to find the strength to"

[Jazz]

Yami slowly lifted his head from his arms to look up to Serena. "I would not want to use my power if it was fear that drove it to be unleashed. I would not know how to use a power out of will." Yami explained.

[MegaraFoxfire]

She smiled and said "then learn from it...and don't forget that I will be there from now on...and there will be no reason to be fearful next time..." She sat up, looking at him.

[Jazz]

Yami nodded slowly, lowing her head again. "My head hurts." saying within a grumble, not wanting to think for a while, sleeping would be nice. "So you said that you managed to fight off a god? How so?" He asked with some more grumbles.

[MegaraFoxfire]

She shook her head and said "I'm not really sure...I just kinda talked back at him and something came out of me...I felt it before when I was protecting Yugi and the other night..."

[Jazz]

Yami looked up to Serena after she explained her experience. "I see. Seems we have alot of blurry memories of today's events don't we." With that, the pharaoh chuckled, hoping to lighten the mood a little. Though after his stomach started to growl. Yami looked down at his stomach, his smile grew.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena giggled and said "I bet Adam has ordered food...he doesn't restock the kitchen when the professor is gone so he can order take out" she slowly got, rolling her neck. "Yami...why did you stop during the fight? I mean...what made you snap out of it?"

[Jazz]

Yami sat up, pushing the covers aside when Serena explained about Adam most likely ordering food and why he would do so. He could kind of understand but then again, not. Though hearing her question, the tricolor haired male looked confused. "I don't think I understand completely. What do you mean?"
