Chapter 4

�� The men had
not returned. It had been a week. Akunadin paced in the throne room. Seto
watched without a word, though he felt irritated.
�� Do you
think something happened to them?�
�� I hope
not. The Sanctuary is just a magical building. Surely there is nothing there
that could take out that many men.�
�� Just in
case, I could send my Spirit Supiera to visit?� Aishizu suggested.
�� Yes. That
would be wise.�
�� Aishizu
nodded and summoned her Ka monster.

�� When
Supiera returned later, she was in one piece, though her eyes were haunted.
Aishizu frowned, as she and her Ka beast joined hands and their memories melted
together. She opened them with a gasp.
�� What did
you see?� Karim asked.
�� The
Sanctuary� is where the Pharaoh was keeping Crown Prince Yami.�
�� There were
several gasps at that. Akunadin felt rage boil inside his mind. So that was
where his meddling elder brother had put his precious son!
�� Well, it
was no matter. They would bring the Prince out of the Sanctuary. There would be
plenty of time to kill him in court later, so Seto could have the throne.
�� Well then
we must fetch him at once.�
�� The rest of
the Court nodded, and leaving Aishizu and Karim behind to guard the Palace,
they raced out to find the desert�s best kept secret. The Sanctuary.

�� They saw
the corpses before they got too far in. The men were littered all over the
place; bodies reduced to skeletons or desiccated structures. Shadah paled and
Seto wondered if they should have brought all the Elected Priests.
�� What had
caused this? A battle?
�� Akunadin
stood before the door to the Sanctuary, Sennen Puzzle in hand. If he really
were the Crown Prince in there, he ought to give him the Puzzle. And if not,
well, it would allow them to call out extra monsters in the fight that would
possibly arise.
�� The door
opened.

�� Crown
Prince Yami stood there, dressed in black linen with a red cape fluttering
behind him. Gold coiled over his arms and legs, the belt at his waist, the wesk
at his throat, and the crown upon his forehead, the Eye of Ra in the center.
�� That would
not have been cause for comment, except that on his chest glittered the Sennen
Ring.
�� So the
Pharaoh had sent High Priest Mahaado here as well� he had not abandoned Egypt
as they had thought�

�� Yami!
You�re safe!� Akunadin said, moving forwards, only to step back suddenly as
Yami smiled at him and touched the Sennen Ring. Brilliant light flared, causing
them all to shield their eyes.
�� The shape
that formed was one of a humanoid, and the creature summoned floated in front
of his Prince, emerald staff in his hands, ready to attack. Dark purple armor
swirled in gold; a face framed lavender hair, with slanted eyes smooth silver�
�� But it was
whom the monster looked like that cause them to involuntarily pale.
�� High Priest
Mahaado�!
�� How � how
had this happened? Had some tragic accident befallen them here? Why would
Pharaoh lock his son in a Sanctuary of dark magic? None of it made any sense!

�� Are you
here to take me away?� Yami asked, and his voice inflected like a child�s, and
his eyes were vacant like a child�s, and Akunadin realized with a sinking
feeling that whatever sickness had plagued the Prince before the war had not
been cured.
�� Yes.�
Seto, never one for being blunt, spoke. �It is time to take you home.�
�� Home?�
Yami tilted his head at them quizzically. �But home is here. And if you take me
away, Mother will kill you.� He inclined his head and the Ka monster that was
not Mahaado snapped its staff forwards into attack position.
�� Seto lost
his temper. It had been a long, few days of hard riding in the desert and he�d
never had much of a temper to begin with. Now he had to deal with a royal brat!
Before Akunadin or Shadah could stop him he had summoned Dios. The creature
growled and swung its sword forwards, intending to kill the Ka monster�
�� Only to
freeze as a black circle snapped around it�s arms and chest, pinning it.
�� Yami
laughed. �You�re so mean. Mother doesn�t like you. I don�t like you either.� He
nodded again and the Ka monster launched a flurry of green energy balls, and
Dios writhed under the assault.
�� Shadah was
ready to summon his own monster, but Akunadin stopped him. Seto gave a grunt as
he called Dios back, his Ba gauge mostly depleted. He wasn�t stupid enough to
be suicidal.
�� Yami looked
at them, almost carelessly, before his eyes settled on Shadah. His eyes
crinkled in the semblance of a smile. �High Priest Shadah?�
�� Shadah
snapped to attention. �Yes, my Prince?�
�� You
wouldn�t lie to me, right?�
�� I would
never lie to my Prince.�
�� Yami
nodded. He held out his hand, and Shadah took it. The Ka monster that was not
Mahaado closed its eyes and faded away, apparently back into the Prince�s
heart. It was his Ka, after all.
�� Yami
nodded. �Mother trusts you. I�m ready to leave.�

�� They rode
back to the palace without any more conversation, Yami�s attention focused on
the Sennen Ring. He traced its contours over and over, almost petting it. That
was very disturbing.
�� Aishizu
greeted them with a sad smile and Yami gave her an impulsive hug. He nodded at
Karim, though Karim noted with unease that the Sennen Scales jangled as the
Prince looked at them.
�� Why?
�� Surely the
Prince was not evil� no, that was not it. The Prince was not evil, simply ill
at ease. Why?
�� It was a
question he had no ready answer for.
�� He wondered
if it had something to do with High Priest Mahaado�s disappearance. The fact
that the Prince held the Sennen Ring had not escaped his notice.
�� Did that
mean that Mahaado was dead? He had been a good friend�

�� Yami
quietly followed Shadah to the rooms that had been his. They were still fresh
and clean, and Aishizu shook her head as the door closed behind him.
�� What�s
wrong, Aishizu?�
�� I do not
know. I cannot see� the past of the Sennen Item holders. You know that. I
cannot see his future either, and that worries me.�
�� Akunadin
frowned, and looked at the Sennen Puzzle he still held. For a second, he could
have sworn it flashed red.

End Chapter
Completed 5/5/06
Yes! In manga, it is canon that Aishizu cannot see the
future of those who are Sennen Item holders or dead. As Mahaado falls under
both categories, and Yami falls under the first, she can�t see their past
either.
