Chapter 15
Sorrow
Weary from chasing Dartz in the rain, Bakura, Seto, Marik and Malik returned to the mansion to check on Yugi. "Ryou?" Bakura called out in the main lobby.
"Jonouchi?" Seto followed.
"In here." they heard Jonouchi call from the kitchen. But by the sound of his voice, breaking with possible tears in his eyes, the Egyptians knew that something was wrong.
Entering the kitchen, the four Egyptians were shocked at what they saw; Yugi, appearing to be very pale and not breathing, his head resting in Ryou's lap and the two were crying. Approaching Yugi's body, Bakura said, his heart racing in a nervous way and placing his hand on his cold body, "What happened?"
"When we found him collapsed on the floor in here, we found this just inches away from his hand." said Jonouchi with a shaking voice, showing them the apple.
Taking the apple, Seto inspected the fruit. He turned it around in his hand until he found that a piece of the apple had been bitten off. "This was poisoned." Seto said.
"Dartz had Yugi bite it, even though the spirits tried to warn him that it was a trap."
Everyone now overwhelmed with pain and sorrow to see the prince been poisoned, they all shed tears to see their dear prince be killed this way. "There's no way that we'll bury him!" said Malik, shedding mountains of tears to see his friend like this.
"Hell no!" Marik followed, wrapping a comforting arm around him.
"But how are we going to tell Atem about this? Knowing him, this will effect him the most out of all of us." said Bakura as he tried to comfort Ryou.
"My friends," they heard a voice and saw the Change of Heart stand before them, with sadness in her eyes. "I'll go and tell Atem about this."
All nodding at once, Seto said with a few tears flowing down his cheeks, "Make haste."
With a single nod, she left the mansion and flew away as fast as she could to the palace in the desert to inform Atem of what has happened. With the message on it's way to Atem, everyone all cried very hard over Yugi's death. Even the spirits that lingered outside were deeply saddened of the event that came to pass.
