Chapter 13 - Regretful decisions and loss of control
*** And irony rears its ugly head! O.o I am starting this chapter on Friday 13th ...mwahahahaha..anyways..Disclaimer: I do not own Yugioh, the characters and such..blah blah blah.you get the point.***
The darkness seemed to engulf Chikara entirely, without warning. She couldn't think. She couldn't see, nothing but eternal blackness stretching forever like the depths of her sorrow. Her head throbbed painfully and occasionally, there was a flash of red in time with the throbbing in her head then it subsided. It was like she had experience this pain once before. Suddenly, out of the darkness; leapt out pillars of fire, lashing out at her. Chikara covered her face and could feel the tremendous heat build up around her. She was trapped; surrounded by burning flames. Pain started shooting through her body and flashes of horrible memories came rushing back. A dagger painfully ripping through her back, the endless flames that engulfed the city, blood and chaos spilt and caused everywhere where she was. Everything seemed so wrong, so out of place...completely her fault. The rage and remorse just built up inside of her, things that she didn't know of sprung up and made her angrier. She just couldn't take it; withstanding the pain that was built up inside of her, made everything seem worse than it really was.
Chikara wanted to end it. She wanted revenge....She wanted to kill.
Meanwhile, Kaiba was still holding her and he hesitated a bit, because of her stillness. Everyone else had gotten out of the water and they got dressed quickly. He moved some of her hair away from her face and cursed under his breath.
"Damn it! She's unconscious!" said Kaiba as he stood up, and was ready to carry her back to the cabin.
Chikara's breathing sounded like she was almost wheezing and Kaiba took a closer look at her face. When he got within two inches of her face, she snapped her eyes open and looked right at him. Her formal purple eyes had now changed into an angry, burning red and she grinned sinisterly at Kaiba as he looked at her in shock. She jumped out of Kaiba's arms and crossed them as she looked at the others surrounding them. Joey and Tristan dragged Kaiba away from Chikara and the others tensed, knowing of what was going to happen.
"So you are the one that has caused Chikara so much trouble and pain, am I correct?" asked Yami cautiously as he kept his eyes on Chikara's other.
The spirit laughed evilly, ignoring Yami's question. She held her palm to him and shot a fireball straight at his chest. Yami crossed his arms over his face and chest and flew backwards and fell to the ground, 10 feet where he was standing.
"Yami!" cried Yugi as she rushed over to his dark's side to see if he was okay.
The spirit grinned approvingly at a job well done and she turned her red eyes to the rest of the group.
"You monster!" yelled Joey as he stepped forward to face her. "No one hurts my friend and gets away with it! Take this!"
With that, Joey leapt forward towards the young woman's face, with his fist pulled back. She swiftly blocked the punch with her arm and kneed Joey right in his stomach hard. Joey fell to the ground in front of her, clutching his stomach and gasping for air.
"Joey!" cried Tea as she started to pull forward from the group to help her friend.
"Tea, no!" said Tristan as he grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
"But what about Joey?" said Tea, as she practically yelled at Tristan.
"Listen, right now we can't help. But the others can." Said Tristan calmly as he looked back at the evil woman that stood before them.
"Yami! Yami! Wake up! You have to!" yelled Yugi as tears started gathering up at the edges of his eyes.
He shook Yami to wake him up but all he got was a quiet groan and Yami turned his head to the side, with his eyes closed. Yami's sleeves, the shirt on his chest and his face was partly burned from inferno blast that got fired at him. Yugi turned around and fell backwards as he saw Chikara's other looking down at him, grinning sinisterly. She whipped her tail at him sharply and caught him in the face, knocking him over, onto his back. She bent down and snatched the puzzle that hung around his neck, on a golden chain. She stood back up and held the prized millennium item in her hands. Her glory didn't last long when she dropped the puzzle and gripped her head, as if in pain. She stepped back slowly and shot a glare at Malik, who was holding the millennium rod right at her.
"If we can't stop you, then we can try to get you under control..." Said Malik as he kept his focus on Chikara's other.
She growled and backed up further away from Malik. Suddenly, out of the blue, she lunged at Malik, with her now claw-like hands reaching for his throat. Malik froze for a second and he fell into the ground, with the spirit holding his neck tightly. Slowly choking off the air in his lungs, the spirit sneered as she watched Malik suffer.
"If you don't be silent, then I will kill you," she said as she watched Malik try to pry her vice-like grip off of his throat.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," said Yami as Yugi helped him stand up.
Chikara's other looked at Yami out of the corner of her eye and laughed a bit. "And who are you to stop me..."
From behind, Yami Bakura suddenly grabbed her arms and Bakura wrapped his arms around her neck, trying to pull her back and choke her a bit. They dragged her backwards and she had let go of Malik, who was holding one hand on his neck. They both did their best to hold Chikara's other back as Yami, with the help of Yugi, walked over to her.
"You will not cause any more trouble in this world." Said Yami as he held his hand out towards her. "You will be trapped in the shadow realm!" And with that, Yami used some of the dark magic that he had, and banished the spirit into the shadow realm.
Yami Bakura and Bakura let Chikara go and she fell to the ground, unconscious. Everyone stayed silent as Kaiba walked over to her and brushed some of Chikara's hair out of her face. She seemed like she was sleeping but she was a bit bruised up. He picked her up and carried her back into the cabin while everyone checked that they were all right.
"So the spirit is gone now, right?" asked Yugi as he looked up at Yami.
Yami smiled a bit and put his hand on Yugi's head. "Yes, Yugi. Everything is going to be fine now."
For the remaining days that had left in their spring break, everyone, including Chikara tried to enjoy it. She still looked exhausted, but she managed to have fun. One the last day, everyone had their belongings packed and loaded in the vans. They got in the van and starting driving home along the long outstretched highway that let back to Domino city. Chikara folded her arms on the edge of the window, on the van door, and puts her head on her arms, looking at the passing trees and cars that flew by. She knew that the others in the vehicle were watching her, excluding Joey's mother. Everything had seemed to go back to normal, but she felt an emptiness that lingered in her mind. She sighed quietly and closed her eyes, letting her mind venture around thoughts and memories that had found her.
Chikara had no clue what was going on in the shadow realm and she was a bit curious. She shook the thought off and ignored the person who was poking her in the back. But her curiosity sparked the gateway between reality and the shadow realm. No one noticed the hole and the spirit that slipped through it, and waited for a chance to get back at them. For revenge would be a burden for Chikara, yet she did not know it yet...
The End. (Or is it?)
***Okay, that's the end. I admit, the ending sucked. -_-; But anyways. Most likely I will write a sequel for this fic and it is your choice whether you want me to or not. Well, not really. But I hope that you enjoyed this fic and will enjoy the sequel for this one.***
