[IC] Yugioh: The King's Shadow

[MegaraFoxfire]

She looked up at him and said "You got upset when I was hurt...and you almost released your power...but when I asked you to stop...you did. I was wondering why you stopped. What made what I did stop you?"

[Jazz]

Yami seemed to understand now. took in her question and seemed to think about it like he was looking back on the memory. "What you said, and what you did. It felt like Deja Vu really. Like I have heard before, felt it before. But it seemed to stop me, calm me down. I do not know exactly know how to explain it really. But a reminder of my friends also brought me back. Remembering them." He told her, knowing there was no other way to explain it to him.

[MegaraFoxfire]

She nodded, understanding. "I guess I am here to be more then a protection...you need more then a shield I think" She started to get up, sighing. "We can keep each other in check, alright? We don't want you going crazy on us and I don't want to lose my own mind with all of this"

[Jazz]

Yami too nodded, understanding. "Two sides of the same coin. Seems we have that affect on each other." He said with a smile. He stood up slowly, making sure he wasn't going to get up too fast to make himself dizzy, or just not have the strength to get up. Once on his own two feet, he looked to Serena and smiled, waiting for her patiently.

[MegaraFoxfire]

She got up slowly, trying not to move to fast. "A coin...I guess your right" She stood up and smiled at him. "Come on, we should let the others know we are alright, shall we?"

[Jazz]

Yami nodded, agreeing with her. "Im sure they know we are but would be most relieved we woke up." He stated. He walked with her once she was ready, following her since he knew little about this hideout of theirs.

[MegaraFoxfire]

She lead him to the back and pushed the curtain away and Adam looked and said "hey! The heroes of the hour have finally woken up! Come join the party!" Yugi smiled and said "Yami, it's great to see you awake"

[Jazz]

Yami followed Serena to where he had come to find everyone sitting down and eating, Joey sitting next to Tristen, both eating away until they looked up to see the pair and grinned. Seto, who was sitting a little ways from Joey, also sitting next to Mokuba, and Duke who was sitting on the other side of Tristen, eating but too looked up to see the pair and waved, while he had food in his mouth. Yami looked to his friends though looked toward Adam who seemed to be greeting them. Though wondering how he was a hero of the hour. His attention being diverted to Yugi who was greeting him with a smile. "It is good to be awake. I hope we were not asleep long." Marik, who was sitting with Ishizu and Odion, though having noticed Yami and Serena, tried to finish what was in his mouth, a smile on his face. "Nope! Adam bought take out. Plenty enough if you guys are hungry." He replied. The pharaoh smiled and nodded. "I did wake up with a slight headache and hungry." He stated, walking over though glanced to Serena.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena smiled and nodded, Adam grabbing them chairs and sitting by each other. Yugi said "we were just talking about old times, trying to get our mind off of things...the riders headed out to report what happened to their boss" Serena nodded and looked at the table, a small sighed escaping her lips.

[Jazz]

Yami sat down with Serena in the chairs provided, hearing Yugi talk about what they were talking about. He nodded to Yugi, a smile came to his lips as something seemed to pull him to a daze of sorts. Hearing about them talk about their days as two souls in one body. Yami honestly liked those times. But yet again had its bad. That was over, as much as he remembered those times in darkness and danger, the more he could remember the good times and memories that proved it. "I still remember those days. They were what brought us all together to be the closest of friends and a team. I still remember them like it was yesterday." Yami told them in truth. Seto only rolled his eyes and yet said nothing. It was mushy stuff he could not stand.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena smiled slightly then Adam handed her a piece of paper. "Raphael left this for you...and says he and the others will be ready when the time comes you need them." Serena opened the paper and read it, her smile turning to a frown. She nodded and said "thanks Adam..." Yugi looked over, a worried look on his face.

[Jazz]

Yami looked toward Serena having heard what sounded like what he thought to be disappointment or something that was indeed concerning within the tone of her voice and her frown. "Is something the matter Serena?" He asked, after most of everyone being silent because Serena and how she was acting, making the silence uncomfortable till Yami had broken the silence.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena sighed and said "just that they lost drake...and we don't know what they were after either..."

[Jazz]

Yami looked from Serena to his lap as he was thinking a moment on what she told them. "We may not know what exactly they are after. When Joey, Tristen and I had been encountered by the Red eyed god, Apep. I believe I remember being said as his name. He spoke about finding the King of Shadows and my heart. Wanting revenge over this king and who's soul he holds for imprisoning him in the cage he was in. from what I remember, he also spoke about needing me and my power. But without the King and without my heart. I am not complete." He explained to them. Joey's gaze grew with that of a glare, knowing well what that god said about Yami and what his plan was. "He even planned to hurt me and take Yami to the Shadow Realm till he found what he was looking for." He said with a slight growl.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Yugi asked "but what did he mean that you weren't complete? That doesn't make any sense. You have a body now..." Tristen said "from what I remember, he acted like a part of Yami was missing but he knew where it was..." Serena was quiet, thinking it all thru. "The heart of the Pharaoh...where have I heard that before..."

[Jazz]

Yami shook his head with a shrug, "I dont know. Seems that is now a goal. To find this King of the Shadows and my heart. If we can find them before he does, maybe we will have some sort of leverage." Yami said with determination. Though now he looked thoughtful. "Rather these make me whole, I do not know if being whole is wise for that is what he wants."

"We cant forget about these gods that have been coming to us." Joey stated after Yam I seemed finished. "Rennet," Holding up his pendant like he would be showing a card. "She said that god would be awakening and taking sides. Not only is it our battle now but a battle of the gods. They got people out there known as their 'Blessed ones' out there. We gotta find anyone that may have been attacked by those hooded freaks and saved by these creeps like Rennet and Duke's god have." Joey explained as well, knowing this was equally important. With this, Yami nodded, a slight smile on his face while Marik was amazed. "Gods are taking sides? Arent some of these gods from other beliefs? I remember Rennet being a goddess of luck. But I cannot place where." He seemed thoughtful, not having such information was something Marik wanted to fix. Seto had stayed silent through the whole ordeal, listening but having rolled his eyes at some point, thinking this was rediculous.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Ishizu said "she is one of our gods, brother. She is the goddess of fortune for us." Serena said "rennet called them brother and sister...maybe we are dealing with the family of gods? Like Greek gods were related, were those gods related as well in the old stories?"

[Jazz]

Marik made a silent 'Oh yeah' and stayed quiet as he listened to Serena when she asked if these gods were related like the Greek gods. "I wouldn't doubt it. Im sure Khnum is related in some fashion." Joey spoke up. Duke only shrugged, looking at the pendant, then looking to Joey and his pendant. "Guess we got alot of work to do if we are save the world again." Duke pointed out. Seto only shrugged.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Yugi nodded and said "Its true, but we will win again, like we always do. And we have everyone's help and even more help, there is no way we can lose" The others agreed but Serena was rubbing her chin. "There's much we need to learn if are to make this fight even..."

[Jazz]

Seto looked to Serena with a raised brow of suspicion after hearing her just now. "And what might that be? We already know we need to learn about this King of Shadows and this Heart of Yami's that this god wants so badly. What else do we need to learn that seems so important?"
