Chapter Nine: Erase My Time
Noa chuckled.
"What gave me away?" he asked. Yugi pointed to his forehead.
"Those markings," he explained. "Gods have blue markings like that, and demon markings are different. So the fact that your god marks are red means you're a dark god."
Noa laughed again and smirked at Yugi.
"You're quite the characters, both of you," he said, walking around Yugi and Yami. "Innocent. In love, though you're different. Lovers, though you can not be together. Stupid because you can't remember."
Noa turned and stared at Yami.
"And what of you? You two made the most fatal sin and made love to one another. You became pregnant, Yugi, with a hybrid, just like your brother was. And for what?" he asked.
"To have it terminated right before your eyes? To have Yami attack your father and be stripped of his memories and his awesome demon powers while doing it?" Noa asked, his eyes narrowed.
The dark god then brushed around Yugi and stood near him.
"Pathetic. You were so close to giving birth to the second hybrid. A true hybrid. Isn't it amazing?" Noa asked. He hugged his body. "To have that much power in your veins, unbroken and unlawed...."
He smirked.
"Ryou Bakura has no limits. If the heavens forbid something, he can do it because he's a demon. If Hell forbis something, he can do it because he is a god. You see? He has no limits!" Noa shrieked with laughter.
He then settled and narrowed his eyes again.
"It wasn't fair. He had all that power... and he was so ungrateful. He hated his father for birthing him, for making him half of what everyone else was, when it truth, he should have been thanking him. Ryou should be eternally in the Almighty's debt for giving him life and for giving him the freedom he has!
"But does he? Does he even care?!" Noa yelled.
Noa stopped and then glanced back at Yami and Yugi, his lips drawn back into a wicked sneer.
"You two are very lucky," he said. He smirked and turned around. "You know very well what you are, and you both accept it. But for me, I was jealous of Ryou's freedom."
Noa turned away. "I became a dark god because I wanted the same freedom. Not a demon, not a god. Bound by no one. Free to enter both the heavens and hells as I chose..."
Noa frowned.
"But that doesn't work. I am a dark god, not a hybrid. Since I gave myself to a demon, I have practically become one, but I still hold my divinity. But I can never enter Heaven again," he sneered.
Noa then turned towards Yugi and Yami.
"But that was why I decided to come down and take Yugi hostage. He would make the Almighty change his mind and free me!" Noa yelled. He turned to Yami and snickered.
"But you, being his lover, will kill me if I touch him. So... I'LL KILL YOU FIRST!!" he yelled, thrusting a dark energy blast towards Yami. Yugi gasped and tried to block it, but the magic was to strong.
Yami covered his eyes and waited for the worst.
Suddenly, the magic branched off.
"Hah. Made if just in time. Hello, Yami, my great little friend," a voice said. Yami glanced up and spotted someone standing before him, dressed in purple and black with long silver hair.
Next to him was a wilder version of him, his purple eyes narrowed at the dark god. The one standing before Yami snickered to himself and rose his hand up.
"But, for you, my dear dark god..." the voice said. "It's over!"
PUZZLESHIPPING 4 EVER
Yami gasped.
"R-Ryou! Bakura!" he cried out in joy.
Bakura flashed Yami a wide grin and then turned back to Noa. Noa ground his teeth together and narrowed his eyes in Bakura and Ryou's general direction.
"You..." he growled at Ryou. "How are you even still alive?" he asked angrily.
Ryou giggled and turned to look at Bakura. Bakura flashed him a small grin and laughed. Ryou turned back to face Noa, his green eyes flashing with hope and happiness.
"Idiot. I have..."
Ryou reached over and touched Bakura's hand. The demon opened his hand up and let Ryou take him, and then they both locked their hands together and squeezed gently.
"A lover I can trust," Ryou finished with a small smile.
Bakura blushed and glared at Noa. Noa growled at them and then raised his hand up. His fist was glowing with bright crimson energy, and it swirled around in his palm.
"Well, lover or not..." he said with a growl. His eyes widened and glew bright red, as his dark abilities allowed them to. "YAMI IS TOAST!!" Noa bellowed, about to fire his magical ball or energy at Yami.
Yami gasped, but then saw Ryou grab Noa's hand from behind and jerk it up.
"Not so fast there, midget," he said.
Noa flailed around a bit in the taller boy's grip and then settled. He turned and smirked at Ryou. "You know, I learned a new trick when I fused with that demon," he said slyly.
He then cracked his eyes open wide, and Ryou gasped in shock.
"Y-you..." Ryou whispered.
He felt his body burning, and Ryou's hand dropped from Noa's wrist. Bakura gasped, but his body also started burning. Since he ad Ryou were bonders, whatever occured to Ryou happened to Bakura when they fought someone.
Bakura gasped and sunk to his knees, as did Ryou.
Ryou felt his hair grow shorter, as did Bakura, until it came to their shoulders in soft waves. Their eyes became slightly bigger, more childish, and their bodies shrunk down.
Their clothing changed, and Ryou was dressed in an outfit that looked like he had a black sleeveless leotard on, and on his feet were red boots, similar to what he already wore. He had red and purple straps on his chest and around his arms, like a large holster. On his neck was a choker.
Bakura wore a similar outfit, only his wasn't as flashy. He just has the black leotard on with longsleeves, and he had a pair of black boots on. On his throat was a thin choker, but he bore no spikes on his outfit savor his spiked bracelets.
"The power to..." Noa smirked and glanced down at the two silverettes.
Yami gasped as he saw his older brother shrink and be transformed into a five yeard old chibi-looking being. Bakura had deaged, as had Ryou, and now they were both only five (500) years old, or rather, they appeared it.
"Alter people's time," Noa said with a small laugh.
