Chapter 6: Bitter Defeat
Joey yamked the blade out of Yami's back. After a few moments, the pharaoh's senses painfully returned.
"Why...?" He asked once again, his voicee a mere whisper. Just then Yami Bakura emerged from the brush. "You....I should have know..." Yami struggled to sit up-right and finally managed.
"That was a wasted effort." Yami Bakura told him. He walked up to Yami and pushed him onto his back. Hard. Yami cried out in pain from the shock that he felt where he'd been stabbed. His vision blurred with tears as he tried to move. No avail. Yami knew that he was wounded very badly and desperatly needed medical attention. "You see, Yami," Yami Bakura said, "When I stole Joey's soul and put it into the Ring with my idiot aibou, it left ME total access and control of him."
"You....-" Yami attempted once again to arise and let out something inbetween a yelp and a whimper as pain shout through his entire body. So all he could do was watch as Yami Bakura approached his Aibou. Yami Bakura hald his hand palm-first towards Yugi as his third-eye began to glow.
"No...!" Yami whispered in vain as his aibou whimpered repeatedly in his sleep. Yami Bakura's mouth was twisted into a smirk of hate and pleasure at the same time. Upon hearing his Aibou's sob of pain, Yami tried to get up anew, using all his strength. He grabbed the grass and somehow managed to pull himself into a sitting position, but when he had pulled, the deep cut inbetween his shoulder blades split wider. Yami screamed weakly from the engulfing pain and tears sprung anew to his eyes, streaming down, hot as fire.
Yami Bakura glared at him hatefully, then abandoned whatever he'd been doing to Yugi and stormed up to Yami.
"You should have stayed down." Yami Bakura said, glaring. He sent a kick to Yami's stomach, then one to his chest. Yami fell back onto his back and cried out dispairingly in pain. He curled up on his side, weeping and trying not to at the same time. Yami Bakura's eyes narrowed and he kicked Yami once more in the chest, sending him sprawling across the ground. Then he moved back to Yugi, his lips curled up in the all too familliar smirk. He called upon his magic again and restarted what he hadn't been able to finish. Yugi glowed and started to whimper quietly in his sleep again. Apparently Yami Bakura had become impatient, so he sent a final, stronger wave of magic and Yugi twitched a little, then was still. His breathing was shallow and ragged and his skin white with a hint of gray. Yami Bakura smirked and left, Joey absently trailing after.
Yami's tears slipped down his cheeks, He no longer cared about his pain. He cared about what was wrong with his Aibou. But for some reason, he just couldn't come to a unanimous decision. Some part of him just kept holding back. ENOUGH!!!!!! Yami thought. His third-eye glowed. He HAD to help Yugi! Summoning a reserve of strength he didn't know he had, Yami got up and crawled over to his Aibou. He picked up Yugi's limp body and embraced him so hard that his wound split even further. But he didn't feel it. Yami felt his magic stir inside him to do the only thing that could save Yugi's life. Yami felt himself weaken as the fatal poison was transfered from his Aibou to him. He set down Yugi, and the poison and his wound caught up to him and as his reserve of strength drained, Yami passed out.
Yugi woke unhindered by illness and poison. Yawning, he sat up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. When he stopped, he saw Yami.
"Yami!!" He cried, running over to Yami's body on the grass. Yami had a deep, severe wound between his shoulder blades and he looked very sick. Yugi sat down next to his yami's unconscious form and began to cry softly.
"I'm so sorry Yami! I don't know how this happened to you, but it's my fault that it did! I just know it!" Yugi thought aloud. "I'm sorry for everything!!"
"What happened here?" Came a voice from behind. Yugi swirled about in panic to see Yami Bakura. "I won't pretend, Yugi. I poisoned you. Yami took the poison for you. He is dying. I am the ONLY one who could save him."
"Oh please! I'll do anything! Please, he can't die! He just can't!!" Yugi broke into sobs once again. Yami Bakura walked over to him and unsurely patted his head.
"It's all right. All that I ask is something in return." Yugi nodded. Still sobbing, he pointed to the Millenium Puzzle. Yami Bakura grinned. "I will help Yami." He walked over to Yami and his third-eye glowed as he summoned his magic. Yami's wound healed up and slowly his color returned. Finally his breathing slowed to a normal pace. Yami Bakura waited patiently, and at the same time impatiently. Yugi sniffed a little and removed the Puzzle. Yami Bakura took it, then smirked. Yugi knew deep down that giving the Millenium Puzzle was a huge mistake, but he had no choice. Yami Bakura turned to him. You get your friend Joey back as well since he'll just crowd up the Ring. I have no further use for him." Yugi blinked. Joey? He didn' t have time to ask, Yami Bakura disappeared. And with him, the Millenium Puzzle.
