Kalika appears in front of Yami’s Door. She stared at it for awhile, afraid of what she’ll see behind that door. She takes in a deep breath and knocks 3 times, no one answers. She tries again, still no answer. “Yami? It’s me! Please open this Door!” She hears a low murmur, but the Door does not open. Kalika is becoming stressed by now, remembering his face the last time this happened. (Like Death) “My Love. Will you leave me Alone Again? I thought you said you Loved Me? I thought you said you’ll Never Leave Me? Was that all a lie? Please My Love! Let me into your heart!” Still he does not answer. She falls to the floor weeping, “I Love You.” She said out finally. Then the sounds of locks unlocking could be heard, and the Door opens. There stood Yami, his expression hard and cold, face stained from his tears of blood. She looks up at him, (No! No! No!) she flings herself to his legs, hugging it tightly, crying, begging for him to wake up. He looks at her annoyed, ready to yank her off him, then he looks into her eyes. “ ! ! ! Those eyes! I’ve seen them before!” (And her eyes were of deep royal purple and in them the stars shone brightly) He kneel to the floor near her. “Neftari?” All the emotion she keep inside burst, and she grabbed his face to hers and kisses him deeply, with all her love pouring out like the waterfall, wanting to feels his warm and comforting presence again. “Yugioh. Please come back to me.” She whispered out to him.

Yami snaps back to reality. “Nef . . . Kalika! Your alright! But why are you crying?” He lifts her up and carries her to his bed then sets her down. He kneel before her again. “Stop crying. I’m here. Tell me. Why do you cry.” He wipes a tear from her eyes.

“Because, I thought I lost you again! The last time you . . . locked yourself up . . . you were not My Yugioh no more. You were cold and heartless. You scorned at my very presence. And . . . and you left me!” She hugged him furiously, not wanting to let go. She almost died of despair last time, this time she was determined not to let him go, not now, not ever. “After you promised that you will never leave me, no matter what happened. You Promised. And . . You . . Left . . Me!” Tears just flows from Kalika’s face, the painful memories rushes by her, the pain aching deep in her heart.

And at that moment, Yami’s heart melts. He remembered that! After his daughter’s death was confirmed. He did Locked himself up, in his Daughter’s room. But after that, everything was foggy. Except for a voice, which now rings clearly in his mind, “Do you want Revenge? Is that your true Desire? Then . . .” He remembers nothing after that. Yami looks at Kalika, who is still crying on his shoulder. HE had caused Her so much pain, and in the end, She died, to save HIM. It was HE . . . that lead His beloved to Her death. He cries in recognition, “I am so sorry. I never meant to hurt you.”

She looks back at him, face streaked with tears, “Are you You?” He nods. And kisses her back, this time with love and longing. “I missed you.” He said, “I really didn’t mean to leave you . . . alone. I . . . was not myself.” She buries herself within his arms, “I know. The past is the past now. We can start over . . . one day.” Kalika smiled a warm smile for him, looking hopeful. He laughs despite himself. “One day, yes. I look forward to that.” They embrace one another, enjoying each other’s company.

After awhile of crying and kissing. They release themselves from each other. And sits side by side. “So Suzama told you to seek Isis? But what do you wish to gain from her? Your memory or the truth?” Kalika asked. “Both. I want to know what happened. And how I can prevent it from happening again. And this time, I will finish it, for good.” He looks at her, “I will not Let You Fight My battles Alone. Not this Time. I Will Not let You Die Because of Me!” Kalika lays her head on his shoulders. “It will not be easy Yami. Her trials. You might not like what you see. Sometimes . . the truth hurts.” Yami snorts, “That’s what she said! But I will do it, and so does Your Brother!” “Seto? What for? He has nothing to do with our past!” “Suzama said he was also to be trialed.” “She did? But why? Who could Seto be from our past?” Yami sighs, “My dear, I do not have no recollection of my past, remember.” (But I do, and I still don’t know who he might be!)

After a moment of trying to remember, Kalika grows sleepy and very tired. “I forgot! I just returned to my body. And being in this world of yours is causing to much strain on me.” Everything grows dark and Kalika falls into a deep slumber. Yami sighs, “How did that saying go . . . You owe me one Lady-O.” He smirks at her and lifts her up and appears before Yugi. Yugi jumps off the bed and moves the bed sheets down. Yami lays the sleeping Kalika down, and Yugi covers her back up.

“Yami. Your back. Are you alright?” Yugi asked concerned.

“I am now. Sorry to have worried you, aibo, I didn’t meant to ignore you like that.”

“It’s okay. I guess, if I say my own daughter’s death, I’d freak out too.”

Yami strokes Yugi’s head. “Yes, a parent should never have to witness their children’s death.” There is still pain in Yami’s eyes. How he had loved his daughter, she was like the sun’s ray in his dark world. (Maybe one day, we’ll be together again) And he looks at Kalika, sleeping peacefully. “You should go rest now aibo. I am fine now. We still have a long journey to go.”

Yugi looks at Yami, “Okay. And Yami. I’m happy you found each other again.” Yugi looks at Kalika then back to Yami, “Promise me you won’t make her cry again.” Yami is shocked by that response, “Okay. But why do you ask.” “Just because.” And Yugi smiled. There is a smirk on Yami’s face, and he returns to his Soul Room. /Goodnight Yami/ //Goodnight, aibo//

Time passes and it is morning = = =

Kalika wakes, and listens for any noise outside. There is none, “Good! They are still asleep. Must contact the Ur Shu.” (“The Watchers”) She tip-toes out quietly to the cockpit. The captain notice’s her entering. “My lady? You should be resting.” “I am alright. But first, I want you to take us to Alexandria first. You can rest there and we’ll leave for Giza the next day.” “But Master Kaiba will be mad!” “I’ll handle my brother. There is something, that I must do there first.” “As you wish my lady.” “Do you have a satellite phone up here?” “Yes. It is to your right.” Kalika picks it up and begins to dial. “Hello? Yes, It is Me. Tell Jaleel to meet me at the airport. He is? Good. Have the place ready for my arrival. We will commence the meeting tonight. Good-bye!” Kalika hangs up the phone, and looks at the pilots, “A room is ready at our arrival. I want you two to rest well.” And she leaves them.

Things will get hard from now on, even for me. Hopefully the Ur Shu has some good news ready for me. She sighs out loud, and notice that her brother is staring at her. With that look he always gives, when he knows when she’s up to no good. “Spill it out.” He ordered. “Not now Seto. I’ll tell you tonight. I must find out something first.” She hugs him, “I am not doing anything dangerous, so don’t worry.” “You know. I hate it when you don’t share you’re mind with me.” Seto lifts her face to his, “You will be the death of me, one day, you know that.” Kalika giggles, “I’ll try to be good. TRY!” She pecks him on his cheeks, and goes to find something to eat. Seto sighs heavily, “Well, at least she’s back to her old self. Oh, K, call Mokuba. He’ll love to hear your voice again.” “I’m on it.” She picks up a phone by the mini fridge. “Hello? Mokuba? Yes, I’m alright now. I love you too. I’ll be home soon okay, be good now. Say hi to Suzama for me, and tell her Thank-you! Bye-bye now!” She gives Seto a peace sign, and lands with a thud next to Yugi, munching on ice cream sprinkled with cereal and fudge, and a Coke to drown it down with. (Food of the Champions!)

Yugi stirs from his sleep, and stares at Kalika munching on her breakfast. /Is that suppose to be breakfast?/ //She did had a thing for sweet things.// Yami laughed in his mind. /Oh! Good Morning Yami./ //Good morning, aibo.// /That explains her abundant source of energy. No wonder I couldn’t keep up with her!/ Yugi sense Yami smirking. Kalika looks at Yugi, “Something da matter Yug?” She said while munching on her breakfast. “Nothing. Glad you feel better.” “Thanks!” And she continues to munch away.

At Alexandria’s airport = = =

Soon the jet lands, and everyone gathers outside to stretch. And a man comes out of the building and heads their way. The guys moves in front of Kalika and Yami manifest in front of them. “You guys! It’s all right! He is a friend of mine!” She pushes through them and greets the man. The man is tall and brown in color, and has deep forest green eyes, with raven black hair. He is dressed all in black and has a curved sword hanging on a hilt on his back. He kneels down before her, “Welcome back my lady. Everything is prepared for your arrival. And I have gather everyone for tonight.” “Good.” “Jameel?” “Yes my lady?” “Kalika will do. The past is over, this is a new age.” “As you wish my . . . umm Kalika.” He frowns at the word. Kalika sighs, “Very well . . . if it makes you that uncomfortable, call me what you wish.” “Yes my lady.” The man looks a lot relieved. “The bus is ready, we can leave when you are ready.” “Thank you Jameel.” The man takes her hand and kisses it, then leaves. Seto and Yami is right behind her, she looks back at them, “For goodness sake. It is customary for a lower class to respect his lady.” She frowns the 2 jealous males, but is smiling inside.

Seto speaks, “I thought we were to going to Giza, and how did He know that you’re were arriving?” “I told the pilot to come here first, I have business to attend to first. And there is someone I must meet later on.” Kalika said to him. “Let’s go! I’d love to have Real Food for a change.” “And a bath!” Tea cried out loud. “Beds!” Joey and Tristan said out together. “Come on brother dear! Our ride awaits! And I want to show you around My turf!” Kalika pulls on her brothers arm. “Oh! Welcome home Yami! It’s not what it used to be, but it Is still Home.” Yami takes in a deep breath, it felt like home, but the smell definitely isn’t. “Since when did it became so . . . dirty?” “Overpopulation and Technology dear!” Kalika all but yelled as she struggled to pull bags out the baggage compartment. He snorted and returned to his Soul Room.

Kalika’s House = = =

“Aah! Welcome to my humble abode!” Kalika exclaimed happily. “You call this Humble?” Tea stared at the huge 2 level house. “You have your own house?” Tristan stared at it. “Alone?” Joey asks. “Umm . . . It’s a small house. And yes it’s mine, I bought it by modeling and doing commercials. And no, I’m not alone. Come in and you’ll see.” She pushed all of them inside.

“Welcome home Mistress!” They were welcomed by a couple maids and man servants, and mens all dressed in black. “Thank You! It is good to be back! Kinda anyway.” Kalika smiles at all of them, and they all giggled. “Ma-nat? Can you show our guest to their rooms? And put him next to mine’s.” She pointed towards Yugi, who stared back at her and blushed. “Oh? The Mistress has finally decided to settle down?” “NO! She is still young! And I’ll decided if he or who ever it may be is fit to be her Husband!” Seto bellowed out. “In which case, I’ll die an old lonely hag!” She glared at her brother, who looks the other way flustered. Everyone laughs and Yugi looks like he wants to hide under something. Soon everyone is settling in their room except for Kalika, who is in the living room with Jaleel.

“Report.” Kalika said to Jaleel, eyes dead set on him. “There is a disturbance in Karnack. We are not sure what it is, or what‘s causing it. But it isn’t anything normal. It’s more like, a very dark presence looming overhead.” Kalika frowns as she rubs her temple. “Sounds like a portal opening up. But that magic is long gone. There is No one Alive, who have that much power to . . . Unless someone who wields an Millennium item did it. But . . . where did they get the spell from? All text of ancient magic has been sealed away or been burnt, there is none left of existence.” Jaleel speaks up, “Maybe. It is someone of your past. There are some that are still alive . . . you know. Immortal.” “It is a possibility. But even if they open a portal. Without a Key. It Is still sealed from this world.” Jaleel looks at his mistress, full of worry, “My Lady. They Will be coming For You. It is not safe here no more. You should have stayed in Japan.” “Jaleel. There is no longer a safe place for me, while I’m still alive. They will hunt me till they have me. That is my faith, I have to come to terms with it. Besides, It was my decision . . . after all.” “Then we the Ur Shu, will by your side always. Until the day . . . we are Free.” “Hmm. . . Free . . . That will be nice. To be free of worry, of pain, of . . . fighting.” Kalika sets her hands behind her head and relaxes on the couch daydreaming. “Jaleel?” “Yes?” “We . . . may not come back alive. You still wish to be by my side?” “I have promised to protect you long long ago my lady. That promise still holds, until my death.” “Thank-you. Old Friend. Thank-you.”

“My lady. The High Priest has arrived. You wish to meet him now?” A short young girl came in. “Yes. Let him in.” Replied Kalika. An elderly man enters, he is wearing a long white cloak, and his face is that of kindness. “Welcome back my dear. If you are here, then it has started again I presume?” “Yes Priest. That is why I called for you here. You temple still has records of long ago, doesn’t it.” “Yes.” “Did it mention anything of the Returning of Darkness?” The Priest shakes his head. “Unfortunately. All of our ancient text were burnt down since the coming of Caesar. We have nothing left my dear. Only the Oracle and the Goddess knows of the past now. And they haven’t returned to Egypt since the First Falling.” “Then I guess, I have to go to her. I really don’t want to. There are things I Do Not want to Remember.” Kalika looks down. “But all our answer lies in the past.” Said the Priest. “I know. That is why I’m leaving for Isis Temple tomorrow.” “You are going to meet with the Goddess. But she has not spoken to No one for thousands of year!” “I don’t think she has a choice now, especially when Egypt will really be gone.” “I see. I’m sorry I was of no help to you.” “It is alright. And Priest. Will you pray for me?” “Of course my lady, I have never stopped.” And he leaves out the door.

Nightfall = = =

The gangs are outside enjoying a barbeque. “Mmm . . . This is great Food!” Joey bites into his eight helping. “Any food is good to you.” Replied Tea. “You Mean Any Thing that isn’t cooked by him!” Exclaimed Tristan. Everyone is having a good time. Except for Kalika, who is sitting on a bench swirling her glass around and aroung. “Will She come? And what’s the trial going to be about?” So many questions swarms in her head that she didn’t notice Yugi sat besides her.

“What are you thinking of?” He asked. “Oh Yugi! Why aren’t you with your friends?” Kalika asked him. “You look like you could use one at the moment.” “I’m fine. Really. Just wondering that’s all.” Yugi raised his eyebrows. “Your hiding something aren’t you? From me?” “For one so young. You are wise beyond your years.” “Well, I do have someone Ancient in me.” He laughs out loud, and Kalika joins in. “Your right! He Is Ancient isn’t He!” //I am Not that old! I died at a young age! Therefore I’m still and forever will be young!// “He said He is still young and Forever will be.” “Oh did He now? Vain isn’t he!” Yugi laughs out again almost tumbling over. //I do Not like being laughed At!// “Sorry Yami! We were just joking!” //Well I do Not find It Amusing!// “Okay. I’ll stop now.” Yugi is trying to hold a laugh, but manages to keep a straight face. “Yugi?” “Hmm?” “Do you ever wonder why you were born?” “No. Not really. Why do you ask? Is it about Yami?” “I guess.” “Now that you mention it. Since Yami arrived. I feel . . . complete somewhat. I used to feel . . . empty when I was a kid. I never knew why. But now that Yami is with me. I think I now why. We were always meant to be together. And to find You.” Kalika looked at Yugi. “Yugi?” “I am a part of Yami, and Yami is apart of me. I think we Are here, because You are here. Grandpa used to tell me, that when a Love Bird is separated from it’s mate, it will fly the world just to be with it again.” “Are we that Love Bird?” Yugi shifts, “I care for you Kalika. Since the first day I meet you. And not because you were Yami’s wife long ago. It feels like, that You are the One, I want to be with, It Just feel Right, Somehow.” Kalika kissed Yugi’s head, “I feel the same way to Yugi.” “Kalika?” “Yes?” “When, If I become One with Yami, will you love me too?” “I already have.” “Thank you.” There is a flash, and Yami now sits next to her. They look at each other, “I want you.” He merely said, and they left for Yugi’s room. Leaving their friends to enjoy the night. It will be a long time before they will have fun again, so they did not bother them.

Do you remember love? = = =

The reached Yugi’s room, and Kalika went to the balcony to open up the curtains. Little did he know she had already slipped off her dress and was only wearing a black brassiere and a lacy brief. She stood there looking at him, coyly, a delicate and graceful nymph. She moved towards him and the flesh of her thighs rippled like sinuous liquid.

Yami stood rooted to the spot, gazing at her, unable to move. He could only wait for her to come to him. Beneath his jeans, a great jut forms, his member was hot and pulsing. He felt helpless against its pulsing and its jutting. Right now, he was only aware of Her, a movement of firm, beautiful flesh towards him and the enormous, scorching tingle at the lower tip of his loins.

Her hands clasped behind his neck and pulled his face down against hers so that their cheeks caressed. At the other intimate end of her she pressed and jiggled against him, rubbing up and down against the hard protuberance of his erection.

With a feeling of despair, Yami buried his lips in her neck and moved his hands quiveringly down the smooth, flawless skin of her back. As his exploring fingers reached the hips, he strained her against him. Forcing her hips at his, crushing her against his member until it hurt him, torturing himself.

She kissed his throat and at the same time begins to unbuckle his shirt. His whole body is trembling slightly with desire as his shirt came open all the way down to his pants and she eased it out gently, sliding it down his arms.

Now she kisses his chest tenderly and her own hands brings indulging delirium as she stroked his back, his sides and then moved down to his fly buttons. (That is what they call it right? A fly?)

Yami is now panting heavily, finding it impossible to keep still as she slowly opens up the top button. And slowly unzips his zippers. When she came to a stop, she tugs his pants down and it falls into a ridiculous pile around his ankles. He stepped out of it and kicked it to the side, revealing to him the sensual freedom of the cool air on his limbs.

(Need to stop watching late night shows. *Bbbrrrr*)

Yami goes to grab her, but she slipped away from him and went towards the bed. Stripping off her brassiere and her lacy briefs, she lays on the bed gesturing him to come. “Take your pants off,” she said softly. (underwear, briefs, boxers whatever they wear under there)

Feeling embarrassed, he hoped she might get into bed. But she stayed where she was, looking at his strong, graceful body appraisingly. After a moment’s of hesitation he slipped his pants from his hips, and his member comes into view as he bends to push the garment down his legs. His member is hot and clammy. He had a feeling of being a bat coming out suddenly into the light.

For a moment they just gazed at each others nakedness. Yami gulped. He had no control over the tremoring of his body, She had a way of making him feel so . . . melty. (Okay! No more cappuccinos for me!) For once he will not let her have her way! He stepped swiftly towards her, and reached the edge of the bed. She waited for him to come to her, her mouth opened and her arms swept around him. Their naked bodies touched, flesh against flesh in a gentle pressure and oozing.

She bit at his lips as he kissed her and then his tongue was worming silkily into her mouth and he was pushing her back to the bed. The covers were drawn back and she allowed herself to fall backwards onto the soft sheets, pulling Yami with her.

His organs was pressing hotly against the cool silky softness of her thighs and the rage of a great animal instinct roars in his loins.

They kissed over and over again. Desires growing, bodies trembling. Soon they couldn’t take it any more. And they made love, after 5,000 years of longing, they are free to love again.

Early that morning = = =

Yami wakes his love. “It’s morning sleepy head. Time to wake up.” Kalika squirms underneath the silk sheets. “Just a little bit longer.” “You do not want to have you brother see you here . . . naked . . . do you.” Kalika wakes with a jolt. “Nope!” She looks lovingly at Yami, and reached out for him for another kiss. “See you later then.” She picks up her belongings and wraps herself up with a robe by the recliner. And heads for the door, “Yami. I love you.” “I love you too. Now go before you get caught.” With that she leaves.

Yami falls down into the pillows and sighs deeply to himself. “I do not want to deal with him in the morning. Why am I hiding for anyway, She Was My Wife!” He enters the Soul Room and knocks on Yugi’s door before coming in. He sits next to him and wakes him. “Aibo? Wake-up. It’s morning.” Yugi rubs his eyes, fighting his sleep. Then looks at Yami. “Morning already?” Yami nods. “You should go and clean yourself up for breakfast. I’ll be in my room sleeping if you need me. And aibo. Thank-you.” Yami leaves a confused Yugi. Yugi flushes deeply, remembering all that emotion they had just shared. And he heads straight for the showers.
