"The Decision"

Bakura, dark Bakura, and Yami Bakura suddenly appeared in the Shadow Realm. They were all taken surprised.

Bakura's Point of View...

I shivered as I looked around this dark place. It felt like we were walking through a storm cloud. I was all alone with two dark beings who both would hurt me without a second thought. 'Well, at least there are no walls to be slammed again.' I said to myself, trying to be optimistic.

I looked at my dark side and my Yami, fighting. I sat down and hugged my knees, waiting for them to calm down. Or to realize I was with them.

Lapse of Time...

Yami Bakura's Point of View...

Bakura's so called dark side and I were deep in an argument when a gentle voice whispered, "Please, stop." We both whipped our heads to see Bakura sitting there.

"What?! You're here with us?" His dark side yelled.

Bakura nodded slightly.

"Why didn't you say something sooner!" I yelled and picked him up by the collar. I threw him and he slammed against an invisible wall. We were in a cell! Forgetting about Bakura, I quickly walked around, finding the boundaries.

Dark Bakura backhanded him and then shoved him to one side. He also began moving around with his hands in front of him. We were in a boxed area, barely big enough for one person, much less three.

"This is all your fault!" I yelled at Bakura, who cringed and backed into a corner.

Dark Bakura glared at him too and then pursed his lips. "You baka! You got us all into this damn mess!"

Bakura flinched again and shut his eyes tightly as his dark side began kicking him mercilessly. I soon joined in, wanting to see blood. We both knew he wouldn't fight back.

Lapse of Time...

Bakura's Point of View...

I must have had at least half my bones broken from my dark side and my Yami. They finally got bored and went back to lashing out at each other. I sniffled and curled up, trying to make myself seem as small as possible. My eyes filled with tears as pain jolted up my leg. 'Crying isn't going to help.' I told myself and then closed my eyes.

Blessed sleep took over as time passed. Whether it was seconds or years that we were there, I do not know. I dreamt of lands filled with peace, people overloaded with kindness, and hearts made only of love, peace, and light.

Lapse of Time...

Suddenly, everything spun and we were right back in my living room. There was a note on the table that read,

Bakura,

When you get back, know that Yami had banished you all to the Shadow Realm for a temporary solution to our problem. Téa then tried to kill herself, and we were all in the emergency room when Joey decided to give up too. He also tried to end it all for himself, but Tristan intervened and now they are both in the emergency room too.

Yugi

Now my eyes filled with tears again. My mind sparked and spun, trying to think. The first thing I did was rip up the note. I couldn't believe I had caused all of this. I entered my Soul Room trying to think without the noise of fighting in the background. 'Wait! If one of us dies, all of us do too!' I thought. 'So, if I die, so will my dark side and Yami Bakura! Two birds in one stone!'

It was done, and my mind was made up. I exited the Millennium Ring and walked out the front door without anyone stopping me. There was blood smeared all over the place. I shivered as I grabbed my coat because it had begun to rain. As I walked I reflected over all the happiness in my life. Smiles, laughter and joy. I reached a cliff and stood there, getting drenched by the rain. Strangely, the downpour stopped and the clouds began to disperse.

I held out my hand and almost as if it was a message, a ray of light descended from the sky onto my palm. I smiled as the sun broke through the darkness. It was soon followed by a rainbow. I heard two sets of footsteps and turned around.

Yami Bakura's Point of View...

"What do you think you're doing?" I growled.

"Hmmm?" Bakura seemed to be in a daze. His eyes were dreamy and with the sun backing him, a halo of warmth and light surrounded him. He truly looked like an angel.

"Wanting to kill yourself and take us down too?" Dark Bakura sneered.

"Mmmm..." Bakura didn't look at us. "Goodbye." He whispered and then took a step backwards.

Bakura's Point of View...

I closed my eyes and fell backwards. I never panicked, never worried. Because I knew all would be well. It felt like I was part of a dream, and my lips moved upward in a smile as the wind rushed past me.

Kaehimi: To be continued! Since I have obviously broken my Magic Muse Magnet from overuse, the next chapter will be the last. Thanks for reading!
