Wolf: Alright.
-Yugi's Pov-
I finally got to my destination and looked around at the old abandoned house. I could sense Atem was inside, so I slowly walked to the faded red door and saw it was already open. I stepped inside and sniffed around, I tracked Atem's scent to the stairs, but was overlapped and I then followed it to a big wooded door down the hallway. I sniffed the door and I could faintly smell Bakura also. I let out a growl and opened the door. I looked down into a dark stair case. I walked down the stone steps, torches lit on fire as I walked by them. I then reached the bottom of the steps and I looked around to what looked like a dungeon. The room was big and made of big black stones. About 8 cells, 4 on each side of the room, had torches lit in between them. The doors where made of steel that overlapped each other, 5 bars going vertical and 5 going horizontal to make the door, a key hole lock was all that keep them closed.
I sensed Atem was in the room with me and I followed his scent to one of the cells in the far back of the room. I saw Atem laying there on his side, his eyes closed. His head was close to the door, I tried to reach for him with on of my paws, but he was to far. I then laid there in front of the cell.
"Atem. What happened to you?" I whispered.
He said nothing, he just laid there and I watched at his chest rose and fell.
"At least he is not dead." I said.
"Not yet anyway." I heard someone say behind me.
I stood up and looked behind me to see Bakura standing across the room by one of the other cells with his arms crossed.
"Bakura!" I yelled.
He unfolded his arms and walked slowly to me.
"Well well, what do we have here? The little runt got a little make over. How did you do it?" He joked.
"I had help from Maho." I told him.
I stepped towards him.
"Oh your little magician friend. Of course he would be able to do this kind of thing, but I never expected you to do it." Bakura said as he started to walk around me.
"I did it to help Atem defeat you!" I said.
He started to laugh.
"Defeat me? As you can see he was not able to lay a claw on me before I set him in that cell. I took care of him within seconds. Of course he did get my arm back at the castle, but I healed it with my magic. The prince will eventually wake up, when the time is right." He laughed.
"Time is right? Right for what?" I growled.
"To watch you die." He said.
I let out a low growl showing my teeth.
"That wont happen. You will be the one to die." I said.
"I would love to see you try." He said, laughing.
My eyes slanted in anger, I unleashed my claws and jumped at Bakura. He ended up dodging it and slipped underneath me. He was now behind me, he grabbed my tail and his hand growled yellow. I then felt a shock go threw my whole body, like I was just hid by lightning. The shock continued, it held me in place, when I fell to the floor is when Bakura let go of my tail. I tried to stand back up, but the shock made my muscles stiff. Bakura walked around me to face me as I tried to continue to stand. He had a smirk on his face.
"Like the little shock?" He asked.
I growled at him. I then got control back over my body and surprised Bakura when I jumped at him and pined him to the ground, my front paws held down his arms while my back paws held down his legs. I growled in his face and stared into his eyes. He then put a smirk on his face. He lifted his hand and managed to grab my paws. I then felt the shock go threw my body again. He then pushed me off him and I landed with a thud in front of Atem's cell. Bakura walked over to me as I looked up at him.
"The shocks hurt, don't they?" Bakura said.
I couldn't speak, let alone move.
"How about we get this over with." Bakura told me.
He grabbed one of my paw and managed to throw me to the middle of the room. I still could not move as he walked around me. He held up his hand and snapped his fingers. I then could hear shuffling from Atem's cell. I managed to turn my head to see Atem shake his head with a grown.
"Ah man what happened? Where am I?" He asked himself.
He opened his eyes to have them widen in shock from seeing me.
"Atem!" I yelled.
I was so happy he was awake now.
"Yugi? Is that you?" He asked, as stood up from his spot and put his head against the bars.
"It is." I told him.
"But how?" He wondered.
"Maho-" Was all I could say before Bakura interrupted.
"Can we have this little conversation later? I would like to continue killing you." Bakura said looking at me.
Atem then had anger in his eyes.
"Bakura leave him alone!" He screamed.
"To late." Bakura said.
I was still unable to move as he raised his left hand. It then started to faintly glow white. I closed my eyes as I waited for the final blow, but it never came. Instead Bakura let out a scream. I opened my eyes to see something latched onto Bakura's left arm. He whaled his arm around and soon the thing let go of Bakura's arm and was then flying around the room. Bakura sat on the floor holding his arm. It then stopped in mid air looking down at me then at Atem. It was white with black spots and white bat-like wings.
"Good thing I got here in time. A minute later you would have been dead." It said.
It sounded so familiar.
"Yama?" I said.
"Yep. Its me mom." Yama said as he landed.
"Did you have Maho do this to you?" Atem asked.
"Yea. I told him I wanted to help you, so I came to help." He said with a smile.
"Yama it is to dangers coming here." I told him.
"He's right. Little boys should not be put in such danger." Bakura said, then laughed.
We all looked at Bakura.
"This will be the perfect opportunity, to kill one family in one night." Bakura said with a smirk.
Bakura got up and held his still wounded arm. Then I was able to get up I stood up and looked down at Yama. Then Yama stood in front of me.
"Bakura you have hurt my family long enough. You will leave my mom and dad alone. I will be the one to stop you." Yama said as he started to growl.
"Yama don't." I thought.
"Aw look at the big bad monster now." Bakura said.
Yama growled again. He then jumped at Bakura.
"Yama no!" I screamed.
I was to late, Bakura raised his unwounded hand. Then everything seemed to go in slow motion. Bakura's hand glowed white, Yama's eyes widened. I started to move as Yama unfolded his wings quickly to slow himself down. He managed to move out of the way in time, but I was right behind him and I ended up getting hit with the white light.
"Yugi!" Atem screamed.
I flew backwards and landed on my side by the stairs. I could hear my heart beating in my ears and I could not breath easy.
"Mom!" Yama yelled.
He flew over to me and landed next to me.
"Mom?" Yama said.
I moved my eyes to him to see him crying as the tears fell from his fur.
"Mom, I'm so sorry. This is all my fault." Yama cried.
"No...its not your...fault Yama...its no ones fault. I just so happened...to be behind you...when I was trying to...look out for you." I breathed.
Yama started to cry more.
"But is it. I was not thinking and just jumped with out thinking." He said.
My breathing became slow and shallow.
"Y-You where just trying to be...brave Yama. To just jump into things...without thinking of the consequences. Kind of like your father." I managed to say, laughing at the last part.
I could tell that dead was on is way for me.
"Mom please, don't say anything right now. You need to rest from what happened." He said.
"Rest! Ha, don't make me laugh!" Bakura yelled.
I turned my eyes to him. He was standing up by Atem's cell as Atem tried to get to him by stretching his paws in between the bars.
"Death is close to you Yugi. Soon you will no longer be breathing and lay there dead as my spell travels threw your body, like poison from a snake." He explained.
I only shut my eyes, I could no longer speak, only breath.
-Yama's Pov-
I looked at my father in his cell as he yelled and barked trying to reach for Bakura, just out of his reach. He then started to bang his head against the bars, then rawring at the top of his lungs. I could see the tears falling from his face, I then looked back to my mother. His eyes where closed, his breath soft. I looked back at Bakura who still had his smart-ass look on his face, like he had finally won a battle.
"But he will not win the war!" I screamed in my head.
I growled at Bakura, then let out a little, but powerful rawr. I then charged at Bakura. By the time he looked my way I crashed right into him, I knocked the wind right out of him as he landed on the ground hard. I then started to claw at his face. I left three claw marks under his right eyes. One down and two across. He managed to grab me by my sides and threw my off him. I landed with out hurting myself and rushed at Bakura again as he whipped the blood from his face. As I jumped at him, he managed to see me in time. He grabbed me my my throat and started to tighten his grip. I gasped for breath as he held me in the air. I used my claws, but before I could do anything his hand that was holding my throat glowed white.
"Good bye, Yama." He said.
Then the shoot hit me and sent me flying into the wall.
"Yama!" I heard my father scream.
I landed with a hard thud as I hit the floor and everything went black. The last thing I saw was Bakura's smirking face.
-Atem's Pov-
I watched as Yama flew threw the air and hit the far wall.
"Yama!" I screamed.
He landed with a thud, I held my breath, he wasn't moving let along breathing. Tears came to my eyes. Yugi managed to open his eyes and looked at Yama who was not far away from him. With the little straight he had left, using his wings, he floated over to Yama and laid down next to him. He draped his arm and his one wing over top of Yama and closed his eyes again. Yugi whispered something, but was to soft for me to hear. Then all was quiet.
The love of my life and my first son lay there not moving, not even breathing. Tears fell faster from my face. I slid to the floor as I looked over at them as I cried my heart out. My heart felt like it was being torn apart, like ripping a peace of paper over and over again. Bakura watched me as I laid there and started to sob, with that smart-ass smirk on his face. He walked over to me and bent down so that his face was in front of mine. The only thing separating me from him was the damn cell door bars.
"How does it feel?" He started.
I paid no attention to him I just looked over at Yugi and Yama.
"How does it feel to watch your family die in front of you. To see you love die and you have to suffer the pain and misery. To never see them again until you die too, which is forever." He said.
I continued to cry as Bakura talked. Then what he said next sent me over the edge.
"I will come back for you later. Now I will leave you and go to your castle. My next target will be those little twins of yours." Bakura said.
He stood up and started to walk to the stairs. That is when his words made me snap and he pushed me over the edge of anger. I could feel my blood boil in my body and my anger went threw the roof. I started to growl loudly, I snarled, and stood up and sharpened my paws against the stone. My heart was pulling back together as the anger moved threw it, but it felt dead and it was tainted black. The only think that was on my mind now, was killing Bakura for killing my heart and hurting my family so much. All I could see was red as I let out a furious rawr. With out me knowing I was changing on the outside as well as the inside. That's when Bakura turned around to see me turn into the monster I really was.
