I wouldn't have updated this so fast but the reviews I got totally gave me some major motive.

I dedicate this chapter to the lovely Bue Eyes Arch Angel for her kind reviews Thanks!


DYING

The night had come fast, and Yugi was just turning around the sign on the door to CLOSED when a car came screeching to a stop just out side the door. Yugi peered through the glass to the black limo.

"I wonder if everythings okay?"Yugi spoke out loud catching Joey and Tea's attention.

Tea began walking towards the door. "Is it Mokuba?"

Yugi I sense something dark approaching. Yami spoke urgently to Yugi.

Before any more was said Kaiba stepped out of the Limo with Alister in his arms. Yugi immediately opened the door for him. "Kaiba whats going on?"

Joey jumped off from his seat on the counter, "Eh isn't that guy one of Dartz's goons?"

Kaiba turned sharply to face Yugi after stepping inside. "Yugi listen. Theres something wrong with Alister. Something not normal."

Yami instantly took over, "Whats going on exactly? What can I do?" The older man looked to the floor in dismay, "You're suppose to know. This magic crap is your game not mine." The room went quiet. No one was use to hearing Kaiba talk like that.

"Kaiba I don't know. But I can try," Yami looked at him with determination. He gestered to the stair well and the group hurried upstairs. The room was small, if he wouldn't have been so worried Kaiba would have made a lovely comment. Instead he walked over and set Alister down on the couch. Long ago he had went silent, Kaiba was thankful at first, however now it just scared him and he didn't know why.

Something inside him was breaking. He wasn't use to caring like this for some one other than himself and his brother. There was no reason for him to care for Alister. A man who had only caused him and his brother pain. Yet something in him sympathized with Alister's actions. Kaiba knew deep in his heart that if he had gone through what Alister had, he wouldn't have been half as strong.

Weakness wasn't something he was use to. But Alister was exactly that. He had been ever since the plane crashed. Kaiba shouldn't have cared about him, should have left him in the plane to die. He couldn't abandon him then, and he wouldn't abandon him now.

"Yugi. Work your little magic. Do something." Kaiba barked commands at him.

Yami sighed. He was confused and clueless but he knew he had to try. He sat down next to Alister. Darkness was wrapped around him, it gave Yami chills. There was little he could think to do. At first he tried to touch the darkness, but it only caused him pain. Then he tried to use his mind to pull the darkness from him, nothing but failure.

He turned to face Kaiba. "I'm sorry but nothing I try is working." Kaiba struggled to keep calm. Failing miserably as he opened his mouth to yell.

"Let me try," A voice from the corner of the room spoke. Everyone turned and gasped. There before them stood The Dark Magician Girl.

"Dark Magician Girl what are you doing here?" Tea was the first to recover from the shock and speak. The Magician ignored her and hurried over to Alister, she placed a hand on his head.

"Darkness." Was her only word, her eyes went dim with sadness. Kaiba walked over to her and grabbed her shoulder. "What do you mean Darkness? Can't you do something?"

Yami jumped up, "Kaiba leave her alone shes doing the best she can." Kaiba didn't drop his hand from her shoulder, and she turned her eyes up to face him.

"Theres something in him. Darkness is killing him as we speak." The air in the room went cold. Kaiba couldn't think, his body went numb. Alister? Dying? No it couldn't be. He wouldn't let it happen!

"I can't do anything but there is someone who can."

Tension in the room broke. "Who? Where do I find them?" The Magician looked up at him with hopeful, calming eyes. Kaiba wanted to calm down but couldn't. Just the through of Alister dying made his blood run cold. He had lost too much in his life, for years he had denied caring for anyone other than his brother and his company. Something was different with Alister he couldn't stop himself from caring. And because of that he'd be damned if he let anything happen to him until he could explain why he cared so much.

"He'll be okay. Listen just take him home, he has plenty of time. I'll send the person there. She should be able to take care of this in a jif." Kaiba finally let go of her shoulder, her words did nothing to help him. He mumbled something of a thank you to her as she disappeared as fast as she'd come.

Kaiba didn't waste any time scooping Alister up into his arms again. Once down stairs it was only them and Yugi. Yugi stood holding the door open, confused as ever.

"I hope everything works out okay. Goodluck Kaiba." Despite the comments that Kaiba had been wanting to say in the end he nodded in thanks and slid back into the limo. He told the driver to head home and the car started up fast.

Alister whats going on with you? Kaiba looked down at the man in his arms. "You'll be okay."
Alister moved for the first time since the last ride in the limo. He mumbled something in coherent and curled into Kaiba.

He went still and blushed. More importantly what are you doing to me?


Kaiba is way out of character, but I mean it makes sense lol. Sorry this is still kind of a short chapter, better some then none though right? I would love some reviews to know how I'm doing! Thanks for reading either way!
