Love Divided By Friends

Chapter 10: The Awakening

I watched as a white haze runs in front of me and hits Joey to the ground. "Bakura…is that you?" I whisper. The haze looks down at me then continues beating the shit out of Joey. Bakura walks back over to me and props me up against his chest. Bakura's tone softens, "Are you okay?" I slowly nod my head yes then no.

"Bakura!, what did you do to Joey?" The hesitant voice of Tristan calls out. Tristan shakily stands in the alley. Held up against him, facing toward us, is Ryo. The poor hikari has cuts and bruises all over his body. "Let Ryo go?" Bakura desperately yells out. Tristan nods toward Joey then me, "Step away from them. Then get down on your hands and knees so you're not tempted to do anything unnecessary." Bakura growls but complies. Bakura lays me down and gets down on his hands and knees. Joey stumbles while getting up. But he manages to walk over to Bakura and kick him hard in the gut. Bakura moans in pain and rolls onto his back by my feet.

"I knew if I followed Yami then I'd find you lurking in the shadows," Seto says, "Sorry I'm late…I got held up." Carelessly Seto goes to run over to me. Sadly Tristan trips Seto and he falls to the ground only a few feet away from me. Joey's grin reappears, "Tristan take care of the filth." Tristan obeys; he drops Ryo and walks over to Seto. Seto tries to get up but Tristan kicks him back down. After several kicks Seto coughs up blood. Joey strides over to Seto and kneels down in front of him. Joey smirks, "Have you had enough?" Joey signals for Tristan to move back as Seto sets himself upon his hands and knees. Seto coughs up more blood and take a few deep breaths. Seto tilts his head to look Joey in the eyes, "If I had…you wouldn't still be alive," Seto threatens Joey.

Joey slaps Seto hard across the face and Seto falls back down. "You watch your tongue you outcast." Joey says. I watch horrified as Joey stands and walks over to Bakura. Joey grabs a handful of hair and makes him sit up. That's when he pulls out a small handgun and points it at Bakura's head. "Tristan, get the outcast," Joey orders. Tristan does the same to Seto as Joey did to Bakura. Anger and helplessness washes over me. My head aches and I hold my head in my hands…and moan in pain. All I can see it red and all I can feel is pain. Tristan slams the base of his handgun into Seto's head, thus causing Seto to lay there unconscious.

The shadows began to consume me. It seemed as though I had no control over my actions but I could see everything. I watched myself stand up. Ivory wings sprouted from my back and an evil smile plays on my lips. A shimmering silver blade with a black hilt appears in my hand. Joey stood and smirked, "So this it truly you? Am I wrong, Atemu?" I watched as myself or said Atemu replied, "Yes, you did guess correctly. Now I will happily kill you for injuring my angel!" Atemu swung the blade and a single nick on Joey's cheek began to bleed. That's when I watched myself kill someone. The sword rose high and dropped onto the victim…the wrong victim. Tristan had run in front of the blow before it even came close to Joey. Tristan's body fell to the cold ground. Joey bent and picked up Tristan's lifeless body and disappeared. "Yami, is that you?" Seto whispers.

I was me again, if that even makes sense. The wings disappeared as well as the sword. Bakura stood, "Help me get Seto into the house." I nod even though I feel too weak to move. After Bakura and I moved Seto into his house and on the couch Bakura set me up on a reclining chair and then went and got Ryo. Ryo was put upstairs in his bed. Seto and Ryo remained dozing in and out of consciousness, while Bakura and I sat in the kitchen talking. Bakura sighs, "Yami, you need to tell Seto." I shake my head, "You know I can't do that, Bakura." "Then how are you going to explain the slits in the back of your shirt and jacket?" Bakura argues. I stand and yell at Bakura, "What do you want me to say? Tell him, 'Oh ya by the way I'm a fallen angel with shadow powers. Plus the fact we both lived in Ancient Egypt in our past lives'?" "Um…Yami?" Bakura tried to interrupt but I kept talking. "I love Seto but I won't tell him anything." "Tell me what? I know your name is Atemu…what else is there?" Seto questions me.
