…
-Jaenelle-
The path is
familiar, though I haven't walked it in more years than I'd like to
admit to. I can't believe I've forgotten Bakura for so long. He was
so kind to me when I visited as a child, and he had needed a friend
so much...I'm almost scared to find out what's happened to him.
The path
takes a slightly different route, though I know I chose the path that
will lead me straight to Bakura. He must've moved in the years since
we last saw each other. It's not surprising, really. He told me
that people often moved in his Realm, though even he didn't know why.
I hope he is
well. There was a darkness about him, so dark, I wasn't sure that
he'd ever find his way out of it. He started to emerge as we spoke,
but I fear that he hasn't had someone to be a good influence on him
and bring him from within the darkness.
I pause,
blinking. What is this? This entire place is destroyed...The
buildings lie crumbled among each other, like a war has taken place.
A large shape is moving in the distance, and it turns, red eyes
focusing on me. As it begins to attack, there is a weight around my
middle, dragging me to the ground, where I feel a sharp pain, then
everything fades to black.
My
head feels as though Lucivar and I have been going through rounds
with bladed sticks, and it's a painful feeling. The boy, Ryou, I
believe he introduced himself as, has gone to find Bakura, meaning
I've managed to find him after all. I don't exactly know what has
happened, but I am glad to have found Bakura.
“Jaenelle.”
I turn at the sound of my name, knowing the voice speaking it
belonged to Bakura. I may not have seen him in years, but that does
not mean that I will have forgotten his voice. He stands in the
doorway, looking nearly the same as he had when I first met him. He
seems thinner now, and far more tired, and solid.
He never had that solidity when we first met. Perhaps it was
because we were in the Darkness at the time.
I
sit up, smiling at him. There's something else about him, something
different. It isn't just that he's
solid, or tired, or even that he's thinner, though the thinness is
something I'm slightly worried about. There's...a darkness inside
of him. The darkness around him, it's gone, mostly, but now, he's so
dark inside.
“Bakura...What's
happened to you?” He blinks, and the tall, brunette standing
behind him blinks as well. I wonder who Bakura's friend is...But
that is not the important thing at the moment. Right now, I need to
find out why the Darkness is inside of him. I'm not even worried
about his thin form now, because that comes from the Darkness eating
away at a person. He simply needs to eat more.
Bakura
steps further into the small room and the brunette has to catch him
before he falls. So he's more than tired, he's exhausted. That's
likely caused by the hunger his body must be feeling as well as the
wear of the Darkness on him. I can't call it his power, because they
don't have Jewels here, and besides, when I had last seen Bakura, he
couldn't have been more than an Ebon-Grey.
The
brunette settles Bakura down facing me, and sits beside him. Bakura
casts him a glare, but judging from the look in the brunette's icy
blue eyes, he couldn't care if Bakura ordered him to leave. The
brunette reminds me of Lucivar, in that aspect. Or any of the males
I know. They don't listen to anything when they're in fussing mode.
“What
are you doing here, Jaenelle?” Bakura has apparently given up
on glaring at the brunette, and has returned to staring at me. I
don't think I've ever truly feared what I've seen in Bakura's eyes,
and when I first met him, his crimson eyes were full of animalistic
hate and rage, but now...Now I fear his eyes, for they show
weariness. A weariness that could eventually lead him to giving up
on life.
“I
came to see you.” It is a simple answer, and the true answer.
I have come to see him. Now, I need to figure out a way to help him.
“What's happening here? What's happened to you?” I
can't help but ask. I need to know what's happened. Now that I
think about it, where did that ring he always wore go? It was his
connection to the Darkness, if what I sensed about it was correct.
It wasn't necessarily a reservoir like the Jewels are, but it still
held the power that Bakura could tap into. “And what happened
to you ring?”
“She
knows about the Ring?” The brunette asks, the first thing he's
said so far.
Bakura
shrugs. “She did see me wearing it when she visited.”
Bakura answers. “Jaenelle, this is Seto Kaiba.” Seto
Kaiba...The names sound much different than they did the last time I
visited. Perhaps we're in a different part of Bakura's Realm, where
they name themselves differently? It's like that in Terreille and
Kaeleer too. The most notable naming differences are with the
Eryiens.
“It
is a pleasure to meet you, Seto Kaiba.” I say, smiling slightly
at him. Part of me is extremely curious about their relationship,
but I'm far too worried about Bakura to bring that up. “Bakura,
you're not answering my questions.” I turn back to
interrogating Bakura. I have to remind myself that men do not serve
in this Realm, so pestering them are the only way to ensure an
answer.
“Haven't
changed much, have you, Jaenelle.” Bakura comments wryly before
running a hand through his hair. It looks as though he hasn't been
able to wash it in awhile. “I suppose I'd better answer you,
or else you'll never let anything drop. We've...Well, you saw it.
That was Zorc. He's taken over our Realm. We're hiding out down
here, in one of the last shelters in the city. I should know, I
helped set up most of the shelters, along with Seto here.
“As
for me, there's little food and a lot of stress to be had here at the
moment. So you really should get back to your own Realm. Besides,
judging by the ring on your finger, you've got a husband panicking
about you back there.” He smirks as I flush slightly. How did
he know that I didn't tell Daemon that I was coming here? A typical
Bakura thing, I suppose. He was always good at seeing things that
others didn't, and at making connections that others hadn't.
“My
husband aside, you didn't answer the question about your ring.”
I point out, motioning to where it used to hang. “It's
strange, not seeing it around your neck.”
Bakura
doesn't hear the rest of my statement about how strange it was to not
see the ring, because he passes out while I motion at his chest.
Seto catches him as he collapses, gritting his teeth at the sight. I
start to move towards them, but Seto shakes his head.
“He's
all right. He just hasn't slept well in awhile, mostly because he's
out on reconnaissance missions all the time. He doesn't like to let
anyone else do them because if they die, they stay that way.”
Seto says, his eyes on Bakura's face, searching it for something. I
think he's watching for any sign that Bakura is in pain.
“...Can
you tell me what happened to the ring?” I ask quietly. I don't
know why, but there's something about the missing ring that is making
me nervous. Far more nervous than I probably should be, but
sometimes, it pays to listen to your instincts.
Seto
glances up at me, then looks down at Bakura's chest and traces where
the ring would normally be with one of his long fingers. “It's
still here. Bakura jumped in front of Ryou when Zorc was attacking
him, and the Ring was fused with his body. During the time Bakura
recuperated from the attack, the Ring was absorbed into Bakura's
body. So it's still there.”
I
stare at the finger still tracing Bakura's chest, my mind swirling
around what Seto has told me. The Ring is inside of Bakura...The
mediator that Bakura had to reach the Darkness is inside of him...The
Darkness is inside of him...“Oh, Merciful Darkness. We need to
get him back to my Kaeleer.”
