-1"Yuugi-kun, I don't think this is a good idea. What if something awful happens?" a silver haired teen asked a shorter teen. "Ryou, please. I need silence..." Yuugi replied. Ryou looked toward his feet, upset. Yuugi was sitting at his desk, mixing what seemed to be fluids. There was a variety of them. There were purple ones labeled "Hatred", and blue ones labeled "Pain". The younger looking teen, started to mix them, chanting words that didn't seem to exist. Whatever he was chanting, made the fluids glow and bubble. Ryou jumped at the sight, and felt a little strange. He started to scratch his head, then his side. Soon, he started to remove his sweater, and started scratching his stomach. "Y-Yuugi...What's going on?" Ryou whispered. He didn't respond, only continued chanting.
Ryou couldn't take much more off the itching, and since Yuugi wasn't looking, he removed his shirt and pants, leaving him in his boxers. He scratched every inch of him, and at one point, thought of removing his boxers. Yuugi stopped chanting, and in the heart beat, Ryou fell to the floor. Yuugi heard something fall, so he turned around. "Holy Crap, Ryou!" Yuugi ran over to his fallen friend. He had been studying to be a doctor in school, so he knew what to do. He placed his hand under Ryou's chin, to check for a pulse. He sighed with relief when he found one, but it was faint, and going fainter. "Yami! Come quick!" Yuugi shouted toward the door.
Seconds after, Yami burst in. "Yuugi! What is...it?" Yami stared at Yuugi, who had Ryou's head in his lap, and his jacket over his semi exposed body. "What happened in here?" Yami looked at Yuugi, who had tears starting up. "I'll explain later, just help me get him onto the bed." Yuugi looked at Ryou, who was pale, and cold as ice. Yami nodded his head in response, and picked up Ryou bridal style, and placed him on the bed. Yuugi had moved the covers back, so he was able to cover his frozen friend. "Now...What happened that made him like this?" Yami had a look that said "You better start explaining, and don't skip any details."
"You see...I was in the closet, Ryou standing over me with a flashlight. I knew your box was in there somewhere, I just had to dig for it. I found it, and with Ryou's help, I hauled it out. I knew what I was looking for, I just needed to find it. I found your big brown book of spells, and knew what I needed was in there..." Before Yuugi could continue, Yami interrupted. "You know you aren't supposed to be in this box, and you know not to touch my book. It contains dark magic I kept locked away for 5,000 years in my soul room. I thought I could keep it out, but I guess I can't... That's two strikes against you. Let's go for three..." Yuugi gulped, and continued. " We pulled out the vials that were required, 10 vials of Hatred, and 10 of Pain." "So you wanted to cause someone you hate pain." Yami nodded his head as he took in this information. "Continue..." " After I said that jerk's name, and activated the spell, I heard Ryou call my name, but I ignored it. I knew if I messed up now, I couldn't do it again. When I finished, he was laying there, half undressed and with scratch marks all over his body." Yuugi burst into tears. "I should have listened to him..." Yami hugged his light. "Aibou, you should read the fine print in this book." Yami pointed out a line in the book, underneath the spell Yuugi was chanting.
Yuugi looked over, and read it out loud. "Warning: If you use this spell, make sure you put up a barrier so no love ones can get hurt. See page 56 for barriers." Yuugi stopped, and looked at Yami, with sad eyes. "Is he going to die?" Yuugi looked in his fallen friend's direction. "No... But you better hope this doesn't affect him as well... As for this book, it's going back to where it came..." The Sennen Puzzle started to glow, and the book vanished. "Where did it go?" Yuugi said. "Back into my soul room. No one is allowed to read it except me." Yami sounded stern. "Now call that tomb robber, and have him pick up his light. He can't stay here all night. Solomon might complain, and in Ra's name, we don't need that." Yami turned, and left. "Ryou...If you could hear me, I'm sorry..." Yuugi hugged his friend, then left for the phone in the kitchen. "Yuugi...Bruce will pay...I swear it..."
