Chapter 4
“The Eye?”
Yuugi
glanced over at Yami and Mahaado. The others had already gone to bed, but he
and Anzu were waiting. They were staying up late. The third eliminator had been
taken care of this night.
Yami had
enough star chips, and Yuugi had too, that if he wanted to go up to the castle
and free his grandfather now, he could have.
But he
needed to keep an eye on Yami.
It wasn’t
fair! If Yami really was his brother, he should spend more time with Yuugi…
right? But now, he was always with his mother. Not their mother! Never theirs!
Mahaado was
frowning. “The Eye tends to…corrupt its bearer.” She said carefully. “It is
part of how the Items were made. The Ring also...”
“But you’re
not corrupted.” Yami’s voice was quiet.
“Would you
hate me if I told you I was?”
“No.”
Mahaado
sighed. “My first magic was light, Yami. My Ka was once the Silent Magician,
not the Magician of Illusions. When I got the Ring, I learned Shadow, and now I
am Dark, because I have no Light left. The shadows took it all away.”
Yami just
nodded. He understood. Dark Mother of witchcraft, the moon, she had power
enough to challenge Ra and protect Horus. Him.
He loved
his mother.
He didn’t
care if she had forsaken light. He knew it was for him – for his sake. She was
always protecting him. Always. Even in death, and even through eternity, even
reduced to card stock…
Always.
Yuugi took
it the entirely opposite way.
Mahaado had
been light once and now she was dark?
He
shivered. The Ring had corrupted her, just like it had hurt poor, innocent
Ryou. He had to get it away from her.
Maybe then
she would come back to the light. The light was safe. He liked light.
He hugged
Anzu and she made no move to push him away.
She was
trembling inside.
What were
they? Had they traded away their humanity for power? Had they?
Could she
still bring Yami back? Could she? She wanted to, but what if the Puzzle was
evil, like the Ring and the Eye?
What was
she going to do?
“We have to
leave.” Yuugi whispered, when they set up their tent. “We have to take Jounichi
and Honda with us. They’re dangerous, Anzu. We have to defeat Pegasus and get
Grandfather back. We have to.”
She nodded.
Of course they did. They had more than enough star chips they had to get out of
here.
They had to
run before they got corrupted as well.
They had
to!
“They are foolish.” Mahaado said,
as she watched them run like scared mice. Only Jounichi had hesitated. Brave
one. He was misguided, but she would spare him.
“They are his
friends, not mine.” Yami hissed. “I only need you with me, Mother. And we will
find the others. We will find Aishizu, and Karim, and Shadah. And they will
help us. We will give the Eye and the Rod to others who trust us and walk the
paths we do, not those bloody stupid lights.”
“Yes.”
“I don’t
hate Pegasus.” Yami said unexpectedly. “Yuugi does, but I can’t hate him. I
keep feeling as though...”
“There is a
reason for his madness?”
“Yes.”
“And that is where you are
different. You remember.” Mahaado sighed. “He mourns his wife. He wishes the
Items to bring her back. He knows you had the Sennen Puzzle. That is why.”
Yami
frowned. “And he wanted to win the puzzle in a Shadow Game.”
“Yes, but
he cannot defeat you.” Pride rang in her voice. Yami smiled.
“Of course
not, mother. I was trained by the best. You.”
Mahaado
smiled back. The emerald of her magic and the ruby of his danced around them
both as they laughed with the wildness of the children of the night.
Yuugi
flinched as he and his friends entered the castle. He touched the Puzzle around
his neck protectively. Yami didn’t have it, of course – but he was quite sure
now that Yami knew magic besides the Puzzle.
Still…
He would
defeat Pegasus and get his grandfather back.
He didn’t need
Yami. He had his friends!
“You do
know that my brother took the Puzzle.”
Mahaado
laughed. “Did he?” She asked quietly. Yami frowned. Surely…
He watched
in shock as she held out her hand and the familiar shadowy feel of the Puzzle
registered, coming into view.
Of course!
His
mother’s magic was powerful, and her best spells were her illusions…
He slid the
chain over his neck with a smile. Perfect.
“Have I
ever told you how wonderful you are?”
“Oh,
certainly.” Mahaado grinned.
“How did
you fool him? As one of royal blood, he should be able to feel…”
“But he
can’t feel.” Mahaado smiled. “He is not a shadow-child, or a dark-child. He is
a light-child. He could not use the power of the Puzzle even if he wished it to
be so… why do you think he needed you?”
Yami
smirked.
“All he
knows is that it’s warm, and that it’s golden, and it’s a puzzle, really.”
Mahaado shrugged. “And now, my dear Game King, we shall wait and see if Pegasus
figures anything out.”
“Even if he
is a fool, I don’t wish him to die.” Yami ventured. Mahaado laughed as she
poured water into a golden bowl and began the scrying spell.
“Of course,
I understand, Yami.”
It was
pointless to just kill people. Yami was still a child, in spite of being
Pharaoh. Her child.
Yami
nodded, and they both bent over the pool to watch the duel. At the very least,
it should be entertaining….

Mahaado’s a scary mother, isn’t she? ^^
And I am having so much fun watching the Raw Egypt
Arc! ^^. I do wish my Japanese skills were a bit better. Ah well… didn’t know
that they changed so many things from manga to anime, which is intensely
irritating, but ah well, I use both anyways….
