"The Banishment"

Yami Bakura's Point of View...

~My past just loves to haunt me. It reminded me how I had captured my master and tortured him every day for almost three years. It showed me how much I had enjoyed it, and how his hatred for me grew so much that he vowed to return from death to avenge him. Finally, it ended, and I was returned to my dream.~

~I got up and stood to face the three. "What is going on?!" I yelled. Pain filled my head again, but I pushed it aside. "Tell me!" The agony kept doubling, and I fell to the ground again.

"Stop it." Bakura said, in a voice that I didn't recognize. It was too commanding, as if he was behind all this...

"Why, little hikari?" The thing that looked like Bakura said. "Don't you want him to suffer for what he did? Don't you want to kill him?"

"No." Bakura said through gritted teeth. "Not anymore."

"It is too late now, I am your dark side. Once I have been created, I cannot be destroyed!" It laughed.

"Stop. Please." Bakura should have known better, hadn't I taught him pleading would do no good? That little baka...

"Besides, I need to get my revenge." My old master hissed, shooting me a nasty look.

"Let us kill him together." The Bakura-look-alike said.

They began to advance towards me.~

Yami's Point of View...

The thing laughed again, and leapt towards me. I moved to the side just in time to avoid being struck down. My mind was whirling as ideas popped into my mind. 'How can I kill him?' I wondered, when I backed again the sofa which Yami Bakura was lying on. I swore as he stirred and blinked his eyes open.

He groaned as he wiped the trickles of blood from his cheek with the back of his hand and then stood up. He hissed when he saw Bakura's dark side. "You." His eyes narrowed.

That gave me an idea! Drqrtsyr! I chanted a quick spell that I had picked up in my years as Pharaoh. It had the power to separate things, and I hoped it would work in people. Thank Ra!

The thing froze and then seemed to split in half and become two different wholes. The "real" Bakura seemed confused and afraid. The dark Bakura was angry. Yami Bakura's face was unreadable. I wasn't sure if this was the right thing to do, but once I started my plan, I had to carry the rest of it out.

I lifted my palm and, gathering up my power, I leashed it upon Bakura. All three of them screamed as I pushed myself more and more. Suddenly, all three of them shattered and vanished. I gasped as my strength disappeared and I collapsed to my knees.

I had just temporarily banished all three of them to the Shadow Realm.

Yugi's Point of View...

I felt Yami weaken greatly all of a sudden, and quickly exited the Millennium Puzzle. "Yami!" I cried, shaking his still body.

He whispered something, but I couldn't understand him. I bit my lip and put him in his Soul Room, because it seemed like he couldn't do it himself.

"Tristan, Téa, Joey!" I yelled as I, too, ran out the door. Tristan and Joey looked at me, but Téa had fainted again. I told them what I had experienced through Yami and then we all went back into Bakura's house.

Lapse of Time...

Téa's Point of View...

I woke up and still felt sick. Joey, Yugi, and Tristan all looked worried. "What happened?" I asked weakly.

I sat up as they all explained everything to me. I fell back when they finished. 'Why did everything happen to Bakura?' I was scared and then I decided something. I got up, and said, "I'll be right back."

Once I was in the bathroom, I locked the door and threw up. I felt so terrible, when I saw a bottle of pills. They seemed to glow, and I smiled sadly. I took the bottle, my hand shaking. 'I don't want to see anyone else suffer.' I decided and then opened the it...
