"Talking"

"Whispering"

(Thinking and song lyrics)


Yami entered the room and stared at Beth with an unbelievable anger in his eyes. Beth couldn't even speak because the look on the prince's face was so furious. The room was dimly lit due to the drawn curtains and setting sun. Yami's eyes seemed to glow in the dark as he started to approach Beth slowly. His voice was low yet filled with rage as he spoke.

"Give me one good reason why I should think your innocent."

"Y-your highness, I swear whatever anyone said is lying. Yugi was the one who made the tea. He poisoned the princess, I-"

"Be silent. I don't want to hear any of your lies. Laura already told me everything."

Beth gasped in fear. The princess had destroyed the one chance she had at framing Yugi. She growled in anger as she clenched her fists. Her true self starting to show.

"She should have been rendered speechless. I should have given her enough so she wouldn't say anything!"

"So you admit that you tried to kill Laura and planned on framing Yugi for the crime." Yami said.

"Yes I admit it! Your sister is annoying, always hanging around and that Yugi brat was in the way. Had my plan worked, I would have killed two birds with one stone!"

Yami shut Beth up by grabbing her throat and gripping tightly. Making the maid gasp for air as she stared into the pure anger of Yami's crimson eyes. Striking her heart with fear as the prince spoke softly in her ear.

"Your a fool for planning this out so sloppy. But your even a bigger fool for daring to harm to the two most precious people in my life."

Yami then threw Beth to the floor. Making her drop the bottle of poison which Yami picked up. As Beth coughed for air, Yami stood over her. Playing with the bottle of poison in his hand. A dark plan forming in his mind. Beth's eyes grew wide and she immediately tried to stand up. Yami pushed her back onto the floor and pinned her down. Using only one hand to grab both of her wrists.

Beth's eyes were filled with fear as Yami stared at her. He then opened the bottle and held it above Beth's mouth. Making her squirm as she tried to free herself. Yami then smirked at seeing Beth like this. His voice was quite and calculating as he spoke.

"Before you try to scream for help, I suggest you remind yourself of the situation your in. There's nothing stopping me from shoving this bottle down your throat. I won't give you enough to kill you, but I could give you some. Just enough to make you writhe in pain like my sister is now."

"P-please...Have mercy! I beg you! It wasn't my fault! I-I just wanted to with you..." Beth cried in fear as hot tear ran down her face.

"Mercy? Why should I give you that? After all you obviously showed no mercy to my sister or Yugi. And he is the one that is closest to my heart. I could never love a monster like you." Yami said as put the bottle closer to her lips.

"PLEASE NO! I'm sorry! I'll take full responsibility! Just don't give me any of that poison! PLEASE!" Beth cried.

Yami then released Beth and closed the cap on the bottle. Yami then called in guards who seized Beth on his command.

"Your orders, your highness?" One guard asked.

"Dispose of this. It is what poisoned my sister. As for her..." Yami paused as he started at Beth with disgust.

"Kill her immediately. She is the one who poisoned my sister and any threats to royal family are to be executed. "

"NO!" Beth cried.

"Yes sir." The guard said in understanding as he and two other guards carried Beth out of the room to be killed.

Yugi entered the room a moment later and found Yami staring at the floor,trying to calm himself. Yugi took Yami by the hand and laid his head on Yami's shoulder. He knew that Yami was still angry and that he wanted to do the worst to Beth. Yet Yami knew that wouldn't cure his sister. Yugi also knew this, and stayed by Yami's side until he turned to him and spoke.

"Thank you, Yugi."

"Of course. I know that it must have been difficult for you."

"It was. I can't tell you how grateful I am that you stayed with me. My anger is a truly ugly side. I hope that you never see it."

"It's okay if I do Yami. No matter how bad things get, I'll always be with you. And except all of you."

Yami smiled at hearing Yugi's kind words. He held his little one tight with all of his heart. His anger suddenly disappearing as he did so. Yami and Yugi then left the room hand in hand to go see Laura. Hoping that Yami's friend would be able to help her. Yami and Yugi stayed by Laura's side for two hours. Hoping and praying for her to pull through until there was a knock at the door.

Yami allowed entrance and in walked Yusei. Yami smiled at seeing his friend. He knew that he was at the ball and had captured his sister's heart. Yami also knew that Yusei had come to palace often to see Laura over the past three weeks since he returned to the kingdom. Yusei was dressed in a dark blue jacket and pants with a back tank top underneath and brown boots. His deep night sky blue eyes that were filled with concern.

Yusei bowed in front of Yami who smiled and allowed him to rise.

"My friend, you know by now you need not to do that. I am glad to have you here to help. It's been too long."

"My Dad says that this herb mixed with food should help her. It's fast acting, so she should be better by the morning." Yusei explained.

"Thank you. Yugi, would you please go make something for Laura?"

"I'll go make her favorite soup." Yugi said before dashing off to the kitchen.

Yami left the room as well, knowing that Yusei wanted some alone time with Laura. Yusei sat down on the side of the bed and held Laura's hand. Feeling angry that he couldn't do anything to help the women before him in pain. The women who had stolen his heart. The women he loved. Laura opened her eyes and weakly smiled at seeing Yusei.

"Yusei...I'm glad you came."

"How are you feeling?" Yusei asked as he cupped Laura's face.

"My body hurt all over...I just can't get rid of this cough..."

"Just try to relax. I brought something that will help...I promise you'll be okay." Yusei said as he placed a kiss on Laura's forehead.

"Yusei..." Laura asked after a few moments of silence.

"Yes?"

"I was just thinking...that I wanted to see you."

Yusei blushed slightly but smiled at hearing Laura say those words. With all of her strength, Laura reach up with her hand and cupped Yusei's cheek. Yusei closed his eyes in content as he leaned into Laura's touch. He placed a hand over hers and sighed. Gazing at her with love as he spoke.

"I did too. The moment I heard you were sick, I came as fast as I could."

"Will you stay with me Yusei?"

"Of course I will, I won't leave your side, until I know your safe." Yusei vowed.

Laura smiled at him warmly before coughing horribly. Yusei quickly helped her to sit up and gave her some water, which made the coughing stop. After taking a moment to breath, Laura started to cry. The pain was unbearable and Laura felt so weak. Yusei held her gently and rubbed her back. Helping her to relax.

"It hurts so much..."

"Shhh...I know...don't cry. I promise you'll be okay. I'm right here, just relax...I'll protect you."

Yusei's gentle words helped to clam herself.

A few moments later, Yugi came back with some hot French onion soup. Yusei crushed the herbs onto it and helped Laura to sit up as she sipped the soup slowly. In less than an hour, Laura finally stopped coughing and was able to sleep peacefully. She woke up the next day feeling much better and found Yusei fast asleep next to her bedside. Laura smiled and placed a blanket over Yusei before she went to find her brother.

Laura walked down the hallway and found Yami coming towards her. She smiled and Yami breathed a sigh of relief as he picked up speed and ran to hug his sister. He was beyond happy that she was safe. Had it not been for Yusei, Laura might not be here. That thought scared Yami deeply. He was so grateful that she was alive. Laura returned Yami's embrace and smiled as she laid her head on his shoulder.

"I'm so happy your safe, dear sister." Yami said softly.

"I'm sorry I worried you."

"Your alive, that's all that matters. Now that your well, let's go tell Yugi. "

Laura nodded walked with Yami down the hallway. Hand in hand.
