Shadow Play
Chapter 5: Shadow Play
@@@@@@@@
An ember just lit
Let it not be put out
My thoughts just created
May they not be forgotten
Watch over this cradle
I begin again from nothing
For myself I will be reborn
In your arms
I will be reborn
Yami didn't look back as he ran. He wasn't sure if his feet even touched the ground. If they did, it was at fifteen-foot intervals. His lungs screamed for air and his legs burned in pain. Yami turned the corner. He could see Tristan not too far behind---10, maybe 15 meters. Anyways. He rounded the corner onto Orion and Main. He thought he was safe for the moment and slowed down. Yami turned around and looked for his pursuer.
Nothing.
Yami walked into the middle of the street. No cars would be out at 2:30 AM. He yawned and looked at the moon.
"I wonder where Anthy is. She probably dispatched a search party." He said to himself.
*Click*
Yami froze and slowly turned around. He backed up as Tristan advanced, gun in hand.
Anthy was the last to arrive, and was limping. Her left foot was leaving blood. Seto smirked.
"Weren't you told about that?"
"Shove it. It's my fault, not yours."
"What happened anyways?"
"Yeah! Enlighten us O wise one."
"Shut up Malik. I slit it open while I was running. I cleared a broken bottle a little too late."
"Oh."
"One question Malik."
"Yes?"
"Why is Yugi dressed up as a kite?"
"Eh........."
Kaylynn and Jess separated the two and concluded that they found nothing. Ryou untied the Yugi-kite and Seto sighed. Then he noticed something. He looked down the street and saw Yami backing up under a street light.
"Anthy!"
"What?"
"Look!"
"Yami!"
Anthy led the gang and ran. Blood was flying from her cut. Jess pulled out her cell phone.
"Yami!" She shouted.
Yami turned to the sound of her voice and began to run towards Anthy.
That was his mistake.
*BANG*
Time seemed to slow as blood flew from Yami's chest. Anthy reached him first, and caught him. She dropped to her knees, holding him gently, tears welling up in her eyes. Jess made the first hit. She ran up to Tristan and used her fists. She backed up as Kaylynn, Malik, and Seto moved in. There were sirens and a cop car pulled up. Joey leapt out of it.
"Joey? Is this a joke?" Tristan asked.
Joey flashed his badge.
"Thanks for callin' Jess."
"How did you know Joey was a cop?" Seto asked.
"I busted her for drinking underage. And she was wasted."
"I was not!"
"The hang over the next day told otherwise."
"How did you know?"
"I was there holding your hair back."
"Um.........let's turn our attention to the more serious factor."
"Which is?"
"Him." Kaylynn pointed to Tristan, who was running. Jess jumped on Malik's bike.
"MalikI'mgonnaborrowthisBYE!"
"Wait!"
SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
"WATCH HER PAINT!"
Jess caught up with Tristan and plowed him into the dirt. Joey and his buddies pitched him into the car. Joey stayed.
*While all this is happening*
Anthy wiped the tears from her eyes as Yami opened his mouth to speak.
"Hold on Yami. We'll get you to a hospital." Anthy said in a shaky voice.
"I have lived long enough Anthy. I hope........."
"Hope?"
"I hope you can forgive me."
"I can! Yami, don't do this to me."
"Kiss me.........so I can love you once more."
And Anthy did.
"Thank.........you........."
Then, he was gone.
