Chapter 6- The Final Showdown
Yami couldn't rest since Seto had captured Yugi. Yami was all alone in the house, sometime during the night Téa had left to seek refuge from the sun, leaving him in a state of depression. She didn't want to leave him, but she couldn't stay and risk exposure to the sun. Yami hadn't noticed when she left and now he watched in a zombie like state the setting sun.
He hadn't moved from the window the whole night and day. As soon as Téa arrived, they would set out to rescue Yugi. Yami tried again to communicate with Yugi telepathically, but to no avail. Either Yugi was hurt or worse, the link would always work between them. If Seto had hurt Yugi in any way, he would make him pay dearly with his life.
A rapid knock at the door, roused Yami from his zombie state. "It's Téa!" He said, frantically getting up. In his haste, he took the stairs two at a time and he opened the front door to find Téa standing there. Téa stood there silently; she was dressed all in black.
"Are you ready?" Yami asked her. His tone wasn't angry, but it wasn't friendly either. He was desperately trying to be civil to her, even though Yugi's capture was all her fault. The things he did for his brother. If he could he would drive the stake through her heart and kill her, but he needed her to rescue his brother. He was just so angry.
"I'm ready and apparently you are too." Téa said eyeing him up and down.
He was dressed all in black, with a long sword sheathed on his back. He also had some gadgets on his wrists. The gadgets when triggered would shoot out a stake impaling its victim. Yami looked where Téa's eyes lingered on him and he lifted his arm to give her a better view of the weapon.
"Do you like it? I made it myself." He flaunted it. "I've killed many leeches with this." He said proudly, grinning at her.
Téa looked at him disgusted, but she let the comment slide. Now was definitely not the time. They needed to work together to save Yugi. "We're wasting time. We should go." She said and turned away from him.
Yami headed out of the house and walked toward his car. "I'll drive us."
"No need." She told him simply. Without another word, she walked over to him and wrapped her arms around him.
"What the hell do you think you're-" He was cut off as they both vanished.

Seto Kaiba sat calmly in his den. He had a fire roaring in the fireplace. He glanced over at the couch, Yugi lay there. He was in a deep slumber from the blood loss and the hypnotic suggestion he had implanted in Yugi's mind.
"Yugi you are so full of surprises." He told the sleeping boy. He turned his cold gaze from him and went back to watching the flames of the fire.
A few minutes later, Seto sensed a familiar presence in the house. The presence walked into the den and stood behind him, a few feet away.
"Seto I'm here." Téa told him.
Seto calmly stood out of the chair and turned to look at her. He smiled at her, but it looked more like a sneer of triumph. "I knew you'd see things my way."
"It's not like I had a choice." Téa replied. "Now let Yugi go."
"All in due time," he sneered. He advanced toward her, but stopped in mid step. He stood perfectly still and closed his eyes. He seemed to be sensing something. He moved his head slightly and quickly opened his eyes. "You brought the hunter with you!" He exclaimed enraged.
"Surprise!" Yami shouted as he showed himself. "I've brought you a present!" Yami pulled the trigger at his wrist and the stake launched out at Seto.
"A present?" Seto caught off guard couldn't deflect the stake in time and it embedded itself in his shoulder. He screamed out in pain, staggered back, tripped over a chair and fell to the ground.
As soon as Kaiba hit the floor, Yami and with Téa in pursuit behind him, rushed to check on Yugi.
"Yugi, brother, wake up." Yami pleaded, shaking Yugi by his shoulders to get him to wake up. He tried to talk to him through telepathy, but it didn't work. It was as if something was blocking him from communicating with Yugi. He turned to Téa. "Why won't he wake up?" He asked her. Before she could reply, he heard Seto laughing, causing Yami to turn his attention to him.
Seto had picked himself up off the floor and pulled the stake out of his shoulder. It fell to the ground with a dull clang. Seto clutched his injured shoulder. The wound wasn't healing; his powers to regenerate seemed to have vanished. The stake must have been laced with something. "Poison." Seto uttered, figuring out what it was.
"Yes, my own special blend." Yami informed him. "You don't need to worry about the ingredients. Now, tell me what did you do to Yugi? Why won't he wake up?" Yami asked him.
Seto laughed mirthlessly, he was really enjoying the look of concern on Yami's face for his brother. Seto staggered into a chair. "He won't wake up until I tell him to. I put a powerful mental suggestion and only I am powerful enough to remove it." He told them, a sneer on his face.
Téa gasped. "It's true; no other vampire would be able to take it off. He's mental powers are too strong." Seto released a groan his shoulder was killing him.
"Take it off now!" Yami demanded.
"I don't take orders from you." Seto replied venomously. He gazed defiantly into Yami's crimson colored eyes. Seto could see and feel the rage emanating from him.
Seto was unfazed though. "Believe me if I die, I'm not going alone." He threatened in a calm voice.
"What do you mean?" Yami growled. He was in no mood for threats or games.
Seto didn't reply instead he laughed manically. Yami took the opportunity of Seto's mental lapse to check on Yugi.
Still laughing like a maniac and inconspicuously Seto, using his telekinesis lifted the stake of the floor and aimed it right for Yami's back. As the stake took flight Téa had turned around, eyes wide at the on coming stake.
"No!" She screamed, quickly getting in front of Yami. The stake struck her right in the chest a mortal wound for a vampire.
"Téa! Why?" Yami caught her in his arms. He cradled her, looking down at her. She convulsed and blood poured out of the side of her mouth. She gave him a half smile. "Why did you sacrifice yourself for me?" Yami asked bewildered.
Téa released a pained gasp of breath. "I had to," she said matter-of-factly. "You will always be my friend. Now save Yugi and tell him that I will always love him." She said weakly. She gave him a weak smile, and he returned it. Then she disintegrated in his arms and turned to dust.
"Good bye Téa." Yami said sadly. A few tears fell from the cold-hearted hunter eyes, splashing on the ground where he kneeled. He looked bowed his head. "Thank you Téa. I'll give Yugi your message, I promise." He added silently.
Meanwhile Seto was deadly silent and sat in bewilderment. He couldn't believe what he had just witnessed. Despite all the mind control, he had placed on her she still cared for the twins. She had sacrificed herself for their sake. She was gone now and it was entirely his fault. He should have never turned her and taken her away from her life, now it was too late.
In his mental rage, he made the fire in the fireplace blaze ten times its normal size. Quickly the flames spread and the room caught on fire. Seto looked at the hunter and collapsed on the chair. He didn't want to fight him. His cold blue eyes stared intently at the hunter. "You're free to go Yami. I'll remove the hypnotic suggestion when you get out of here." Seto told him.
Yami nodded in agreement, he didn't want to fight either. He picked up his younger twin brother and gave a quick glance to Seto. Crimson eyes burned into blue eyes. No words were spoken, but Yami heard Seto's voice in his head. Yami didn't look shocked at his comment. "I know." He said simply, turned and walked out of the room.
The mansion was quickly succumbing to the flames and Yami quickly got out of it. He carried Yugi a safe distance from the mansion and collapsed on the ground with his brother in his arms. He glanced at the burning flames and wondered if Seto had gotten out.
