The light half stopped stuggling and lay still for a moment before sitting
up and looking around. His mouth opened to ask how he had gotten back to
his, but his innocent eyes landed on the form of the proud spirit.
"Yami!" He dove beside him. "Don't you dare leave me! Don't you dare!"
"Hikari. I have done my duty and served my purpose. Yet I don't feel complete."
"Because you have to stay with me!"
"Gomen, Hikari. I cannot." *pause*
"Yami!"
"My life as a sacrifice to save yours. A spell added so we might see each oth-" He fell silent. Yugi did also, knowing he was gone.
"Yugi?" He grabbed the knife and gripped it. Realization grabbed the room.
"No! He gave his life for you!"
"Doesn't that mean anything to you?"
"Don't!"
"You don't get it! I'm only half! I'm only half of a soul!"
"Yugi, please don't do this." Yugi stopped at his Grandpa's words. There had been so many times when he was so close to doing this same thing but for different reasons. But Yami had been there to stop him. Where was he now? Not here to stop him. Stubbornly stop him.
"He won't stay dead you know. He'll find a way back. If my Yami can do it, yours can too."
"You're right." He looked down.
"So you're not going?"
"Iie." Aubible relief swept through the room.
"Well that's good, ne?"
"No, I'm a Hikari without a yami. Only half of a whole."
"Doesn't mean you aren't any good!"
"Did I say that?"
"No but-"
"I'm simply not complete. That will change soon though. My spirit is getting dark. I'm not really innocent, and I would be grateful it you would cease treating me like a child." He looked up and met their eyes, shocking them by their new resemblance of Yami's. Dark energy swirled in those endless orbs, and a never before seen fire burned in the infinite depths.
Black energy swirled around him. "Yug, buddy, calm down."
"Incoming!" 4 heads swivled to Ryou who was quickly turning into Bakura
"Weak pathetic mortal. Now where- Yugi?!?! This high level of power coming from the runt?"
"Yami is dead."
"Really? Serves the baka ******* righ-"
"How dare you talk of him like that! You will not live until tomorrow." He snarled. His friends shrank back away from him. This wasn't Yugi. They didn't know this demon in his body. He threw ball after ball at the evasive Tomb Robber. As they missed him, they stopped before touching anything, coming back to him.
"Gah!" The white haired evil threw his own destruction into play, but Yugi caught these and threw them back as well.
"Yugi stop!" Pled Anzu.
"Why?" Yugi continued to catch the energy, Bakura's situation got steadily worse.
"Because its not right to kill people!"
"'It's not right to kill people!'" He imitated perfectly, "Don't talk to me about it not being right to kill people! If you haven't noticed, Yami's DEAD!" She fell silent. The newly made almost demon threw the energy and it surrounded Bakura. Yugi stood straight and smirked. Bakura looked around in disbelief.
"Ah, ****!"
"I've got you surrounded. You know your choices. Make your decision."
"Never." He snarled.
"Fine by me." Raising his arms to point at Bakura, he maxed the balls' energy and fired them simultaneously. Throwing off a shield, he didn't last long. The scream was still in the air though no evidence remained. "Take care of Ryou."
"Where are you going?" A note of concealed panic resonated through Grandpa's voice.
"To get revenge." He replied coldly.
"What, may I ask, did you do with my Grandson and what or who are you?"
"Your grandson grew up and learned. And now he wants revenge on the most heinous crime there is."
"Yami!" He dove beside him. "Don't you dare leave me! Don't you dare!"
"Hikari. I have done my duty and served my purpose. Yet I don't feel complete."
"Because you have to stay with me!"
