20.The Truth Revealed
"No, I…" Johanna stuttered in fright. But it was no use, Yami picked her up out of the box and threw her into his chair.
"Everyone needs a good game." He said quickly. Then lifted up his razor card to head height and stared long and coldly into the man's eyes. Johanna's lips trembled terribly. A sudden loud blood curdling screams breaks the silence. Both of them look out the door quickly. Then Yami turns back to the person sitting in the chair and pulls him closer to his face, placing the razor edge of the card between them. He looks the person up and down…
"Forget my face." He says quickly, releases her and runs out the door. Johanna sits in the chair breathing heavily and wondering. "Who was that crazy man?…"
"Die! Ra in heaven, die!" screams Mai at the top of her lungs. The old Beggar man was clenching onto her dress, but he was hard to see in the light. She pulled him towards the oven to burn him. A look of unimaginable terror was on her face as she dragged the bleeding man. She kicked him in the head and he became unconscious, but still held on.
As she reached the light of the fire she reached down and pulled the hand off her dress, then looked a bit closer at the body.
"You…" She said, in a voice of extreme worry and hate. The beggar still was breathing as she looked at his sickly wounded form lying on the ground. She heard footsteps coming down the stairs and quickly grabbed the man's arm and started to pull him towards the oven.
"Why did you scream?" Asked Yami actually concerned.
"Uh, he was clutching onto me dress, but he's finished now." She gestured at the obviously dead Judge Bakura. Yami stared at her, then shrugged and walked over to the pile of bodies. Then over to Mai who was still dragging the body across the floor.
"I'll take care of it. Open the door." He said walking up to her. "Open the door, I said." He demanded, pushing Ms. Lovett up right and towards the oven. Mai had a shocked face that Yami had actually been so rough to her, she stammered as she walked, turning back once or twice to look at Mr. Todd. He was rolling up his sleeves and staring at the beggars body. Mai opened the oven, light spilled out further into the room, she looked at the man on the floor. Mr. Todd looked at her, then noticed her action and looked at the man as well.
A baffled look befell his face, he walked over to the mans body, kneeled down to it and froze…"Don't I know you? He said." He pulled off the mans hood and then rolled him over. Yami gently pushed the multicolored hair out of beggars face to look closer…his eyes started to fill up with tears and his breathing became fragmented as his bottom lip shivered. He placed his blood soaked left hand on the man's shoulder, but he lay there motionless. Mai's face changed from one of horror to one of sorrow.
"You knew he lived…"Yami said darkly. Tears falling from his eyes, he couldn't hold them back now after all these years.
"I was only thinking of you." Mai replied, trying to sound thoughtful.
"You lied to me…" Answered Yami, looking up now at Mai, his tears noticeably flowing down his cheeks as his eyebrows lowered in an angry manner.
"No, no, not lied at all,
No, I never lied,
Yugi… (Yami)
Said he took the poison, (Mai)
He did, never said that he died.
…I've come home again, (Yami)
Poor thing, she lived, (Mai)
But it left her weak in the head,
All she did for months was just lie there in bed,
Should've been in hospital,
Yugi…(Yami)
Wound up in Bedlam instead, poor thing! (Mai)
Oh, my God!!…(Yami) He slid his hand across Yugi's cheek as Mai talked frantically.
Better you should think he was dead, (Mai)
Yes, I lied 'cause I love you!
I'd be twice the lover he was! Yami stands up as Mai comes up behind Yami to try to hold him.
Yugi…(Yami)
I love you! (Mai)
…What have I doooonnnne!? (Yami)
Could that thing have cared for you like me? (Mai) Yami turns around suddenly, all tears and sadness fade from him instantly. He has the smile of a devil.
Ms. Lovett, you're a bloody wonder, (Yami)
Eminently practical, and yet appropriate as always, He starts walking towards her slowly, she backs up quickly into a corner scared beyond belief. Yami's face is that of a serial killers again!
As you've said repeatedly, there's little point in dwelling on the past! He raises up both his hands, in his right is the Dark Magician, he gestures seductively for her to come to him.
Now, come here, my love…
Do you mean it? (Mai)
Everything I did, I swear, I thought was only for the best.
Not a thing to fear, my love, what's dead is dead! (Yami)
Can we still be married? (Mai) He grabs her and they ballroom dance around the bodies and blood.
The history of the world, my pet, (Yami)
Oh, Mr. Todd, oh, Mr. Todd, leave it to me, (Mai)
Is learn forgiveness and try to forrgeeeet! (Yami) They dance closer and closer towards the open oven.
By the sea, Mr. Todd, we'll be comfy-cozy (Mai)
By the sea, Mr. Todd, where there's no one nosy.
And life is for the alive, my dear (Yami)
So let's keep living it,
Just keep living it, (Both)
REALLY LIVING IT!!" Yami screams as they reach the oven, he lifts her up in front of the door, the flames reflect and dance in his eyes, no sense of restraint, a mad man now envelops him. He pushes her towards the fire and Mai screams in terror as she head towards the deadly flames. A loud cough is heard…
Yami stops, holding Mai just in front of her death. He turns around to see Yugi breathing…He sets Mai down, not looking back at her. She stands frozen just in front of the fire. Yami walks over to Yugi who is lying on the ground, breathing softly. He drops his card next to him as he kneels down once again next to Yugi.
He puts his hands behind Yugi's head and lifts him up gently, he looks at his Aibou's eyes, they open slowly. The violet purple color of them engulf most of his eyes. Yami tears off parts of his shirt and wraps it around Yugi's neck, the cut he mad was just a scratch. Crimson and violet meet again. Yami smiles lovingly, something he has not done in over 15 long years…
"There was a duelist in this life,
And he was beautiful, Yami holds Yugi close, Yugi sits there watching his lover.
A foolish duelist in his life, Joey opens the sewer grate slowly and crawls out, Mai is to stunned to notice anything.
He was his reason and his life,
And he was beautifuullllll!
And the duelist was virtuous,
But his lover was…naïve.." Yami's eyebrow twitches; he suddenly turns around grabbing the card, and hurls it behind him. It sticks right into Joey's neck, a large rock the teen was holding slips out of his hand, then from the same hand, blood droplets form and drip off. He falls over dead.
Yami stands up, holding Yugi in his arms, the smaller man works his way out of them and down. He stands wavering, and then walks towards Mai. He reaches her, eye's half open, and stands in front of the women. Ms. Lovett is frozen still with disbelief. Yugi's eyes burst open, and fill with the same hate Yami's eyes have experienced so often. He thrusts out his arms and shoves her into the flames! Mai topples backwards and lands on cooking pies, she screams in pain as her flesh is seared! Yugi grabs the door handle and closes it, locking it tight as Mai screams in utter agony. He looks though a slot at eye level, the flames fill his eyes and dance with happiness and hatred. He closes the slot and starts to walk back over to Yami, who is now standing there speechless. He is dried with blood.
Yugi takes a few steps over and falls foreword, Yami races towards him and catches him just in time. They stare at each other for the longest time, eyes watery and full of life and love once again.
"I'm home…my aibou…my Yugi." Yami leans towards Yugi and kisses him, Yugi eagerly accepts this gesture, he is not mad at Yami at all. He cannot be more happy.
They stop, "I love you Yami." Says Yugi weakly.
"I love you too, Yugi" Replies Yami, he knows his love will be alright. "I love you too…and I'm finally home…"
