Yami Rea: So sorry it has taken so long to get this chapter out. A new character is going to be introduced though. So ya, but anyway I'm back in school and it's hard to get chapters out. The only time I can write is in Journalism and that's only if we are doing something or I'm done. So whatever, here's the chappie.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh! I do own the plot and my new character….Yuki!
Love Divided By Friends
Chapter 11: The Truth
Bakura turns to me, "I'm going to go check on Ryo." Bakura leaves Seto and me to talk. I lower my head, "I don't want you to get hurt. The shadows are my burden." Seto throws his arms p in frustration, "They shouldn't be your burden…that's why I'm here!" Seto takes a deep breath, "You've been lying to me." I shake my head, "No…just not voicing the pain. For Ra sake I'm a monster, was 3,000 years ago and I am now." I look up to meet Seto's confused gaze. "Damn it Yami! Why can't you see it? I'm in pain just knowing you are or some things wrong. I don't care what you say…you are no monster," Seto said matter-of-factly. I sigh, "You want to know do you? Then I'll show you. Don't look for me. I'll send word when I'm ready for you." Seto nods and I walk out the door.
After searching I finally found a secret spot. Reaching into my pocket I pull out a cell phone and dial Bakura's number. An exhausted Bakura answers the phone, "Yea, what do you want?" I take a deep breath, "Tell Seto to meet me at the southern brush near the pond in the Plant Sanctuary." The line goes dead and I slide the phone back into my pocket. With Seto coming I decide to sit underneath a sakura tree and meditate.
Rushed footsteps head my way and eventually stop in front of me. I let my eyes open half-way, "Stand back…" Seto does as I say and he backs up against a tree. However, I move over and stand so I'm directly in front of Seto. I just hope I can control it. As I take a deep breath I steady myself and begin to let the shadows surround me…and I embrace it as I let my eyes close. My eyes snap open and I fall to my knees hugging myself. Pain jolts through my body as the white wings sprout from my back. Surprise hits me like a boulder…I kept control! I smile smugly, "See Seto, you can't say this isn't freaky." Seto cautiously walks over to me. Nervousness filly my stomach as Seto touches my cheek. "I…don't think…it's that freaky…just…normal," Seto says breathlessly.
Seto's body falls limply to the ground at my feet. Worry builds up inside me and I bend down next to Seto. That's when Seto's arms wrapped around my neck. Seto nuzzles against my chest, "I'm so happy to see you again." After I don't answer he looks up. Seto cocks his head to the side, "What's wrong Atemu?" The sound of my past name, my real name, shocks me. I whisper to Seto, "What's wrong with you? What happened and why did you call me that?" Seto sighs and sits cross-legged on the ground, "I'm not sure…I just…I guess something clicked." I nod, "Okay, so now you know. I control the shadows I'm a white winged, crimson eyed, good, fallen angel." Seto smiles and goes to comment but the rustling of brush wipes the happy smile off his face. Seto motions for me to leave and I do, but only so far, because I need to go somewhere and return to normal. So I escape through some brush, get rid of the wings, and hide.
Seto sat still so the only movement was his breathing. A boy about a year older than me walked over to Seto and sat in front of him. The boy has long black hair with crimson streaks pulled back into a loose ponytail. But the color of his eyes were unreal…his eyes are a crimson. The mysterious boy smiles sweetly, "Why are you out here all alone…Seto?" Seto's voice is calm, "Just resting. Who are you and what do you want?" The bloody eyed boy grins, "Thought I would see what you can do." He launches forward and easily pins Seto to the ground. Seto just smirks, "Okay now tell me who you are." The boy chuckles, "Come on out Atemu. I'm not that ignorant." I growl and step into the small clearing. I glance around and notice that the sun is just now going below the tops of the trees. To use my powers I would have to wait for the shadows to descend a little longer. I glare at him, "Let Seto go…" The boy turns his gaze back to Seto, "I will tell you my name. But you have to pay." But before Seto could even say yes or no the boy leaned down and smashed his lips against Seto's. My blood began to boil and I couldn't stop myself. The burning sensation ripped through my body and my wings sprouted from my back. I go to move forward but it is as if my feet were nailed to the ground. The boy released Seto's lips and grinned at us both, "Atemu, I see now, even more than I use to, why you love Seto. But anyway a deal is a deal. My name is Yuki."
