Lady Phoenix's Song Fics

Darkness Finds Love

2005-06-10T06:09:00.000-07:00

Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh or anything related to it. I also do not own When I’m Gone by 3 Doors Down- just loved the song enough to turn it into part of the story. Aurora is my character however. She, I will claim… *sly grin*
******************************************************************************

Darkness Finds Love

Aurora finished her musical set and climbed down from the stage. She had felt an odd sensation when she sang her opening song, My Only Love. It was not like the other times she had sang it. It always was filled with emotion, but when she spotted Yugi in the crowd, she began to wonder if she would actually make it through the entire song without falling apart. She found a new type of resolve and decided to sing it as if attempting to reach the spirit she knew was alive somewhere within the boy. Being the distance that was between them, she had no idea if the song had any impact, however.

She sang several songs in that set that ranged from slow to very upbeat after she saw him disappear into the karaoke building. She danced and moved in time to the words and rhythm. She had pushed herself to forget he was even there. That is, until she felt a strange sensation mid way through her set. It was the sensation of great powers being drawn upon. She knew something had happened. She also had no way to tell just where it had happened without stopping her performance and shocking everyone. She had to go on like nothing had happened. One of the first things she did when she was done though, was head over to the counter where Zahara had been busily tending to the teens catching their breaths from dancing. They were deep in discussion when a dark voice beside her interrupted them.

“Can someone help him? He has been hurt.” Aurora’s eyes snapped open wide and Zahara gasped, nearly dropping the glass in her hand. It took them a moment to recover before springing back into action. Zahara grabbed a wet cloth and came out from behind the counter to dab at the cuts on the injured teen’s face. She looked up at him briefly and caught the sight of crimson eyes. This was not Yugi who had brought the boy to them. It was his darker side. His Yami. Her father’s spirit.

There's another world inside of me
That you may never see
There’re secrets in this life
That I can't hide

Aurora watched her daughter help the teen for only a moment before her attention was drawn back to the presence that had spoken. He looked like Yugi enough, but there were definitely some differences there. Differences she knew too well. As badly as she wanted to see him again, a warning feeling fell over her and all she wanted was to suddenly turn and walk away. She feared what she would say. What she would think. Will he still be connected to me enough to have our telepathic link? She wondered as she slowly backed away. He looked up at her and just stared. His eyebrows drawn together in thought. His eyes met hers and her breath caught in her throat. She willed herself not to think. To keep her mind absolutely blank. Music was beginning to fill the room and he stepped closer to her. She found herself backed up against the counter.

Somewhere in this darkness
There's a light that I can't find
Well maybe it's too far away
Maybe I'm just blind
Maybe I'm just blind

Don’t let him get too close, she told herself. Must keep him at a distance… She closed her eyes to steady herself as he drew nearer to her. This was going to be harder than she thought. She wanted to grab him, and hold him tight. Her instincts were screaming for her to run. With a gasp and a moan, she wrenched herself away from the counter and headed away, not caring where she went. He grabbed her at the edge of the dance floor and the force of it spun her around to face him. She closed her eyes tightly and turned her head to the side, avoiding him. His gentle hand reached up and raised her face to meet his. There was confusion in those crimson eyes. The music flowed over them and the beat swept them on to the floor.

When your education x-ray
Cannot see under my skin
I won't tell you a damn thing
That I could not tell my fans

I want to talk to him, she realized in fear. I want to tell him how much I have missed him. How much I still love him. She closed her eyes to stop the tears from building. She just could not give in to her desires. She had no idea the thoughts that were going through his mind as he held her and they danced. But she knew hers were dangerously close to taking control.

“To your mind, you will simply think yourself to be a Nameless Pharaoh. Possibly even taking the name of Yami for your knowledge of the dark powers of the shadow realm…” Her words filtered through her head before she could stop them. The look on his face as they turned around the dance floor told her he heard them. They were still linked together. Gasping, she used her next spin to try to break away. He caught her, however, and brought her back against him.
******************************************************************
Roaming through this darkness
I'm alive but I'm alone
Part of me is fighting this
But part of me is gone

The crowd moved out of the way and created a circle around them as they moved in time to the beat. They spun and turned and twisted. Their eyes meeting after each turn. They danced as if they had been dancing together for years. He knew that was not possible. Searching the mind he was sharing, he knew the boy who had released him had only met this woman a short time ago. She was also several years older than the boy, he could sense that.

“To your mind, you will simply think yourself to be a Nameless Pharaoh. Possibly even taking the name of Yami for your knowledge of the dark powers of the shadow realm…”

Yami? Is that my name? he wondered. He was confused by the voice in his head that had said those words. Even more confused when she tried to escape into the crowd again. He was not sure why, but he knew he could not let her go. Not just yet. He grabbed her and pulled her back against him. She seemed to be fighting something inside her. He felt her to be a light in the darkness he had been a part of for so long. He was alive for the moment. Thrown into a world he did not know, and facing things he did not understand. He was a part of this boy whose body he was in, but he felt very oddly alone. As if something was missing. Something this woman seemed to fill.
But why? he asked himself. Why does she stir these feelings within me? Who is she?

So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
Hold me when I'm scared
and Love me when I'm gone

He held her tighter against him as they moved again. Her movements were fluid and in perfect time. He swallowed hard as her body made contact with his again. Her back was to him and her eyes were closed. She had given herself to the music. Lost in his embrace. He felt the urge to hold her close. To keep her near. To protect her and keep her safe. He had an odd sense that he had promised her something a long time ago.

Everything I am
And everything in me
wants to be the one
that you wanted me to be

Why do I feel this way? He asked himself again as he spun her to face him. Her eyes. The deep Lapis blue of her eyes. They made him feel as if he was falling into the stars in space and time. He knew those eyes from somewhere.

“I Will Never Forget”

I'll never let you down
Even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good

He watched as she closed her eyes briefly. He sensed a struggle within her. What is she hiding, he wondered. The urge to reach out to her came over him. It was as if he wanted her in a way he did not understand. Her fluid dance movements had not been making it any easier on him either. He was startled when she broke away and he had to chase her off the dance floor. He finally caught up with her in a dark hallway.

“Wait!” he called after her. Grasping her hand he turned her back around, but instead of just holding her, he lightly pushed her against the wall. He kept one hand on her arm, holding her in place. She stared up at him, wide-eyed. He realized she did not fear him though. Her wide-eyed expression seemed to be telling him more. It was a look of longing.

So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared
You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone

They continued to stare at each other for the longest time. Neither one moving, or even wanting to move. Gently, he raised his free hand to lightly brush a few strands of her hair away from he face. She moaned softly and closed her eyes at his touch. One of her own hands reaching up and resting on his upper arm.

**********************************************************************************
Maybe I'm just blind

Aurora found herself almost willing him to kiss her before she shocked herself out of her fantasy world. Her eyes snapped open again and she saw him leaning close. She pressed herself harder against the wall. She knew it was a mistake letting herself be lead onto the dance floor first and then not fighting him off as he followed her into the hall. She had just given in and let herself become vulnerable, completely forgetting what had happened.

I'll never let you down
Even if I could
I'd give up everything
If only for your good

She wished she could tell him everything. Wished things could be the way they once were. Wished she could give in. Oh! How she wanted to give in. To taste his lips again. Would they taste like they did before? NO! She gasped and tears filled her eyes. But her body was no longer listening. It melted to his touch and allowed him to continue leaning toward her.

So hold me when I'm here
Right me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared

She felt his hand leave her arm and make an attempt to draw her near him. She tried to fight it again, but no longer had the strength to. “Yami,” she whispered. She felt him pause and when she opened her eyes, he was only gazing at her with confused eyes.

“Why the name of Darkness?” he asked her. A voice floated into his mind again.

“For your knowledge of the dark powers of the shadow realm.”

He was not sure if it was her voice or a faint memory of his past. She said nothing to answer his question, but she sighed sadly. He could feel her grip on his arm. A tight grip, as if holding on for her life.

Dear Ra, she pleaded silently. Help me, I am falling out of control. I cannot stop his kiss, yet I should not allow it. Please, help me!
*********************************************************************************
You won't always be there
So love me when I'm gone
Love me when I'm gone

Again he felt compelled to lean close. Something inside him wanted to be near her. As he got closer and strange scent caught his attention. It was enough to trigger a faded memory. A flash of white. Red gold hair and deep blue eyes. That was all he could see before the memory faded again. Her eyes closed again and even he felt his own begin to lose their vision as he leaned close enough to almost brush her lips with his own. A cough brought them out of their world and Aurora straightened up in Yami’s embrace.

“What is going on here?” a brunette asked with her hands on her hips.

“Nothing that concerns you,” Aurora responded, though she was slightly relieved. She feared what would have happened had they kissed. With a telepathic link still intact after all these years, it was hard enough to keep her thoughts away from him when they were apart. There was no way she could have managed to keep her secrets from him had the kiss taken place.

“If that is Yugi, then it has everything to do with me.” Aurora looked over at the man she called Yami. He was carefully moving between the two woman as if unsure as to whom he should be helping if the words became harsher. Aurora’s lips turned to a smirk at the girl’s words.

“So you care for Yugi do you? He is lucky to have such a friend to look after him,” she said lightly as she made an attempt to brush off the potential fight that was building.

“That’s right,” the girl said with a scowl. “I won’t let him be hurt!” Aurora raised an eyebrow as the smaller girl came at her. Her patience had worn thin from the events of the night and she was not about to take a hit from a jealous friend who seemed to have no idea who she really cared about. Zahara had mentioned in passing the actions of this girl as of late. Aurora knew full well that this girl may have meant to protect Yugi, but she was also attempting to lay claim to the other half of him. The half that belonged to her. She caught the hand that was coming at her and twisted the young girl around defensively. She refused to hurt her, but she was not about to take the hit either.

“Be forewarned, I do not take kindly to those who attack me. I can be your friend, or your worst enemy, whichever you choose,” Aurora told her in a dark voice.
********************************************************************
Well there we have it- the 2nd song fic that interrupted the actual fic itself... Sorry if it wasn't what you might have been expecting... It looked a lot better in my head lol.. Anyway- now I am back to creating the next chapter for EL 2...

Strange Reaction

2005-06-08T23:00:00.000-07:00

Disclaimer: I don’t own Yu-Gi-Oh! , My Only Love, or True To Your Heart.
I love them all but I don’t own them- If I did then I want my cut of the profits… but I don’t so it doesn’t matter lol

A/N- This is an odd ball song fic. It really doesn’t have much bearing on EL2- just helps add to Yugi’s mind about a few things that are beginning to confuse the poor boy. He does have an older spirit in his body after all- this spirit has memories buried and that are slowly to be recovered. What a better way than to make Yugi think he is going a little crazy by recalling things he really shouldn’t be recalling, lol.

Anyway- here was his entrance into the dance club and his reaction to hearing Aurora sing for the first time.

Strange Reaction

Deep in my soul
Love so strong
It takes control

Yugi walked inside the club and looked around. He had heard Téa talk a lot about the club but he had never had the chance to be inside it yet. He was amazed by how many people were there. His ears picked up the voice that was coming from the stage. He looked over in that direction but realized he could not see anything over the much taller crowd in front of him. Looking at his watch, he noticed he still had time before he had to be at the karaoke room. He threaded his way through the crowd as he attempted to find a higher place so he could see the stage better. It was times like these he hated being short.

Now we both know
The secrets bared,
The feelings show

Finally finding a spot high enough for him to watch the show, Yugi stares in awe at the woman on the stage. He only met her once, but once was enough to remember her. Zahara’s mother, Aurora. Her voice was soft, yet powerful as she sung the lyrics to the ballad. Couples were dancing close and he suddenly wished Téa had joined him. He remembered her telling him she might be there later after her dance lessons. He listened intently to the words of the song. She sang them so clearly and so full of emotion, he almost felt as if she had poured her heart and soul into the song.

Driven far apart
I’ll make a wish
On a shooting star

Yugi felt a strange sensation begin to stir in his mind. As if a part of him knew her from a different time and place. He shook his head thinking that could not be possible. A vision of a pyramid flashed in his mind. And then a palace. His eyes widen. He had never been to Egypt. He had no idea where these visions were coming from. He felt an emotional pain begin to ache in his heart. As if something had been ripped from him.

There will come a day
Somewhere far away
In your arms I’ll stay
My only love

What is going on?! Yugi thought as he continued to watch Aurora on that stage. He tried desperately to figure out why he was having this reaction to her voice and this song. But his efforts failed him. There was no memory. No clear picture. No way for him to know for sure just why she was having this affect on him. As he thought more about it, he was not even sure he was really feeling this ache. Almost like it was coming from inside him, but not really from him. That thought left him completely confused and he shook his head again as he listened to more of the song.

Even though you’re gone
Love will still live on
The feeling is so strong
My only love,
My only love…

If she is showing that kind of emotion to this song, I wonder if it means something happened to the guy? Yugi wondered. Did she really lose someone that close to her? The light on the stage caught a glint on her face. A tear? He watched as she raised her arm up above her head. As if reaching for someone just out of her reach.

There will come a day
Somewhere far away
In your arms I’ll stay
My only love

She brought her arm back to her body, placing her hand over her heart. He was almost convinced that he was right about her feelings with this song. It sounded as if she really did lose someone close to her. Someone she did not want to be without. He felt another pang in his heart. Again he wondered why he was feeling this way.

You’ve reached the deepest part
Of the secret in my heart
I’ve known it from the start
My only love…

Yugi realized then just how important the guy she was singing about had to have been to her. The last lines told the story so clear. Well, at least as to how deep her feelings ran for the guy. He could only imagine how their relationship could have been like if he had felt the same for her.

You’ve reached the deepest part
Of the secret in my heart
I’ve known it from the start
My only love…

Yugi was certain of it now as her voice began to shake slightly near the end of the song. She lowered her eyes and her hand visibly trembled while she struggled to regain her composure. He knew it took a lot out of her to sing that song. He admired her for that strength. For one brief moment he felt as if she was looking straight at him when she lifted her head. Her deep blue eyes seeking out his own.

No, she couldn’t be looking at me, he thought, shaking his head. Why would she be looking at me? He gazed down as his puzzle seemed to shimmer in the dancing lights of the club. He suddenly wondered if maybe what he was feeling had something to do with his puzzle. But that did not make much sense to him either. She raised her hand one more time and her soft, sincere voice resonated over the crowd.

My Only Love…

He bowed his head again to check his watch. Though he would rather have stayed to listen to more songs from Aurora, he had an appointment to keep. With a groan, he jumped down from his spot and made his way to the doors leading to the karaoke building. He was not looking forward to this. He was disappearing inside the building as an upbeat song started and Aurora began to sing a happier tune.

True to your heart
You must be true to your heart
That’s when the Heaven’s will part
And baby
Shower you in my Love…

__________________________________________________________

Ok the next song fic actually has something to do with the story lol... I will mention a fight in an upcoming chapter... and well It will start in the next song fic lol... So be on the look out! *grins*

My Immortal Love

2005-05-26T07:36:00.000-07:00

My Immortal Love

I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh or the song My Immortal by Evanescence. It just made a great song for a song fic…I DO , however own Lady Aurora Phoenix, Lady Sapphira Star, Lady Natara Fear, Dorian “Chaos”, and Bryant “Havoc”- their powers, and their backgrounds. My characters from my own story that I created that I just decided to blend them together.The ending to Part one of Eternal Love was sad enough, but oddly I found a way to make it worse *shaking head and laughing in disbelief* Guess I love to torture my readers, lol. So now the chapter that was to come before the last posted chapter on fanfiction.net.
*********************************************************************

My Immortal Love

I'm so tired of being here,
Suppressed by all my childish fears.

Aurora had shut down from everyone after witnessing Atem’s final fall four months ago. His spirit trapped within his Millennium Puzzle, never to be released. It was the only hope left for the salvation of the world against Zork and the Shadow Realm. Their triplet children still asked for daddy, not understanding that he was never coming home. She could not sleep. She would not eat. She did not battle as she used to either. Even Shadow had noticed the change in her fighting. No words. No quick comments that normally infuriated him. She merely attacked as quickly and as forcefully as she could and when the battle was done, she walked away just as silently.

And if you have to leave,
I wish that you would just leave,

Every night, Aurora would wake from the same nightmare. Seeing his face as he faded away into the darkness that called to him. She heard his voice telling her he would never forget. She felt his touch when she lay on her bed crying into her pillow. She could smell the scent of his scent in every room they had ever been in, and sometimes wafting in the air when she took the kids to the garden. Shaking her head, she ran to the balcony and looked toward the temple that housed the tomb of her love. She glanced back behind her where she thought she could see the faint form of Atem on her bed.

Because your presence still lingers here,
And it wont leave me alone...

“No!” she wailed as she quickly lunged herself off the balcony using the ledge to propel herself forward. The rain had begun to fall and she tilted her head to face it, wishing it would wash her pain away. The wounds in her heart were just too great for her to bear this night. She landed lightly to the ground and pulled the hood of her cloak over head and continued to run. She ran without really knowing where she was running.

These wounds won't seem to heal;
This pain is just too real.

A violent wind whipped up around her as she ran and the hood of her cloak tore away from her head letting the rain drench her long red-gold hair. Her hands shook and her eyes remained blind with her tears. Sob after sob made attempts to wrench their way from her throat, coming from deep within her soul. Closing her eyes she saw flashes from her time with Atem. The first time she looked into his eyes to see his feelings. The marketplace when he came to tell her two of her friends had been found. The day he told her he loved her. The time she finally admitted the same. His proposal. Their wedding. His anguished cry when she had been nearly killed by Anubis. His grateful smile when she allowed her Fire Phoenix Ka to fuse with his god Winged Dragon of Ra to aide him in a battle against Bakura.

There's just too much that time cannot erase...

Their last night together before he faced Priest Set for the throne. His kind words to her as he thought she lay asleep. She heard his every word. She wanted so badly to bring him back. But she knew she could not. He had a destiny that still awaited his spirit. That knowledge, however, did nothing to ease the pain in her heart. They had said and done so much in the three years they had together. They held each other together. They had become one. Missing him, to her, was like missing a piece of herself. Suddenly, she knew where she needed to go. The only place she could go.

You used to captivate me,
By your resonating light.

She stood at the doorway to the tomb and gazed into the darkness. Her eyes sore from her tears. She breathed deeply and proceeded forward, treading carefully to avoid the careful traps that had been laid down for would be thieves. As she walked, torches lit themselves one by one to light her way down the lonely path and across the bridge to his sarcophagus. The box that held the pieces to his Millennium puzzle seemed to have its own golden glow.

Now I’m bound by the life you left behind.
Your face it haunts,
my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away,
all the sanity in me

“Atem, I am the only one who remembers your name now. Aside from my friends, but they do not say it in front of me anymore,” she whispered as she lightly touched the sarcophagus. “I cannot move on. I cannot stop thinking of you. You are in my every thought. My dreams, my visions. I see you. But I cannot touch you. It kills me inside. I need you, my love.”She fell to her knees beside the sarcophagus and buried her head in her hands. Her sobs echoing in the empty room.

When you'd cried
I’d wipe away all of your tears,
When you'd scream
I’d fight away all of your fears.

So caught up in her sorrow, she did not see the faint outline of Atem’s spirit as he appeared before her and took her in his arms. There was a small spot of light on his cheek where an angelic tear drifted from his eye. He had always hated seeing her cry. He had watched over her and the children as best as he could from his prison. There were so many times he had wished he could comfort her. This time, she came to him.

And I’ve held your hand through all of these years,
But you still have all of me.

He took her hand in his ghostly one and brought it to his cheek where he pressed it against his face. She looked up and saw him there. Confusion shone in her teary eyes. He was gone from her world now, but she still had him. She would always have all of him. He could see it now. He would always have her with him as well. Not even this puzzle prison would keep them apart. One day they would come together again. But all the words in the world could not take away the pain in her heart at this time.

These wounds wont seem to heal...
This pain is just too real,
There's just too much that time cannot erase.

No, too much had happened. Priest Set was the Pharaoh now. He was taking care of her. Not in the way a husband should. He had moved on to be with Aurora’s friend. The friend’s name escaped his memory. Another of Aurora’s prophecies come true. He was forgetting names. He tried desperately to hold onto the name of the woman in his arms. He knew her. Knew who she was. But he had forgotten her name, just as she had said he would. Soon he would forget everything.

When you'd cried
I’d wipe away all of your tears,
When you'd scream
I’d fight away all of your fears.

He grasped her and pulled her to his ghostly form. Somehow he felt solid to her like this though. He was unsure as to why that was and she did not question it. All that mattered was that she was in his arms again, even if it would be for the last time.

And I’ve held your hand through all of these years,
But you still have all of me.

They felt as if they were frozen in time. Neither one able to speak. Just lost in their pain, grief, and love. This love would always be strong and powerful. It would be what saved him in the end when the time came.

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone,

Aurora looked up at the spirit holding her. “You do not know my name do you?”Atem sadly shook his head.“Do you know who I am?” she asked him. A light smile curved those sensuous lips she had loved to kiss so often and he nodded

But though you're still with me...

He knew who she was just like he promised. He placed a hand over her heart. “I will always be here. I will never truly be gone if you keep my memory alive within your heart. I cannot stay. Not now. But one day we will brought together again. Until then, keep my memory alive and be strong for Sanura, Zahara, and Adais.” He offered a ghostly kiss and then was gone.

I've been alone all along.

Aurora looked up to the top of the tomb and fresh tears flowed. She was alone once again. But she felt stronger somehow. Like he was still there. It just was not the same. She was truly alone in the world now. They would only have her visions and dreams. But he was right. She had to be strong for the children. She could no longer go on half dead to the world. She stood and reached out to the sarcophagus again.

When you'd cried
I’d wipe away all of your tears,
When you'd scream
I’d fight away all of your fears.

“One day, I will bring you back again,” she vowed. “We will never be apart again. I will never allow it. Your children will know you and all you had given up to keep us all safe. They will know your strength, courage, power. They will know honor. We will continue to protect you at all costs. When you are released, we will protect you and your host. And when your battle is finally done, and you think you must return to the Underworld, I will be there to bring you back. For you are one of my kind now. The powers of Blaze still courses through you. It merely sleeps now. But it will be what brings you back.

And I’ve held your hand through all of these years,
But you still have all of me.

“And I will always be yours. No one will have me again. You truly have all of me. All I have to give and more. We are one, always.” Silently, she made her way out of the tomb and back to the palace. The first place she stopped at was the room in which their children lay fast asleep. “I will be better for you, my young ones,” she whispered as she lightly touched each of them to brush their hair away from their eyes. “We have a date with destiny. We must ensure your father’s return. And keep him safe until that time. I will be strong again. For he lives in each of us.”She turned and made her way back to her room. Once there, she went to here desk and pulled open a drawer. Inside lay a velvet satchel. She withdrew the satchel and opened it to reveal a man’s ring with a blood red stone. It shone brightly for a brief moment.“Yes,” she sighed. “He still lives in each of us. He will always be here. Even when he isn’t. He is and always will be my immortal love.”

Ok, Here's the Deal...

2005-05-26T07:30:00.000-07:00

Ok, here's the deal...

I have an account on fanfiction.net and they no longer accept certain kinds of writing anymore... I have a story posted there called Eternal Love. It is the first in a series of stories for the Eternal Love set. Now... I have some sections in it that would fit in song fics and because they are no longer accepted there I am going to post them here... *smug grin* There is always a way to get around everything lol! I may post alternate chapters here as well, I am still debating it lol... Either way I will always place the title of the chapter at the top so you know which story you are reading... I will link to my Eternal Love story over on fanfiction.net on the side of my blog so if anyone is interested they can take a look... However a word of caution... my last chapter to that part topped it off at 46 chapters and not all of them were short... many of them were rather long actually... Well then... After I get the first song fic written I will be back to post it... so I shall return *runs off to get notebook and pen to begin scribbleing guidline notes and story...*
