Chapter 7
"Now, demon. You will perish!" Yami Aisha sneered, raising one hand, as a ball of golden light appeared, hovering in her hand.
Bakura hissed in pain as Yami Aisha pressed harder onto his other's back. He struggled, despite his unconscious state, in Tristan's grip, making the tall teen tighten his grip on the silver haired teen's shoulders.
Yugi and Aisha saw the pain their friend was in and said in union, "Wait! Your hurting Bakura! If you kill his other, you'll kill part of him!"
Yami Aisha looked at her other and, sighing, removed her foot from Yami Bakura's back and snuffed out the ball of light.
"As you wish." She said softly.
Bakura's struggling slowed, but hadn't ceased. Aisha hugged him, making him cease his struggling and relax in her arms, his cheek resting against her shoulder.
Joey and Tristan looked heartbroken. "No fair! People ALWAYS go for Bakura!" they sniffled, pouting.
Tea and Yugi sweat dropped.
Yami Bakura sat up and growled before returning to the Ring, "Watch yourself, girl. Or else you might have a little accident."
Aisha watched as Yami Aisha picked up her other's Millennium Amulet, which had fallen from Yami Bakura's neck, and handed it back to her before returning to the dragon-shaped Amulet.
Yami walked over and said, "Um…We didn't know you had a Yami…" Aisha looked shocked.
"Me neither…well, lets get Bakura home. Tristan, could you help me carry him?" she asked. Tristan nodded and draped one of Bakura's arms over his shoulder, while Aisha did the same with his other arm.
So, walking awkwardly, the two held Bakura between them.
--------
When they were about half way to Bakura's house, Yami asked, walking up to join Tristan and Aisha, who were in the lead, "When will Yami Bakura stop harming his other? And everybody who tries to help him?"
"We dunno!! Why are you asking us?!" Tristan and Aisha asked in union, sweat dropping.
"…Just wondering…if your Yami knew anything…can you speak with her?" he tried again.
"Maybe…how do I do it, though?"
"Just talk in your mind. That's what I do." Yugi spoke, joining them.
Aisha nodded slowly and sort of spaced out, letting her mind wander as she asked mentally, -Y-Yami Aisha?-
~Yes, Aibou?~ someone spoke up inside her mind. She started, but quickly recovered.
-Do you know why…Yami Bakura hurts Bakura?- she asked.
~…I think he's…afraid…~ came the reply.
-Of what? Bakura couldn't hurt a fly! Believe me, I know.-
Her other laughed. ~Hai, but Yami Bakura hasn't taken the time to just sit and talk with Ryou. Instead, he fears that if he does not teach Ryou to respect him, he will be treated badly. I have a feeling that he has been treated like he was nothing and doesn't want it to happen again. I think you ought to summon Yami Bakura up and have a little talk with him.~ was her answer.
-WHAT?!- Aisha mentally croaked.
~I will be there as well.~ Yami Aisha smiled at her other's worry. ~Whatever happened to 'kick everybody's a** Aisha' that I knew?~
-Hey! I'm still that person, I just prefer to run away from some magic using relic!!!-
~Point taken, Aibou.~ Yami Aisha chuckled.
Aisha shook her head and came back into reality. They were standing outside of Bakura's house, Bakura still being supported by Tristan and herself.
"Well?" Joey asked, looking inpatient.
"She says…we have to talk to Yami Bakura…calmly…" she answered, looking about as pleased about it as her friends did, which wasn't very.
