One Final Duel--Chapter three.
Heya, i'm back. Didja miss me? Sorry it took so long...i had it written, but my mom kidnapped my disk. :-( Anyhoo. here is chappie three. Warning....CHARACTER DEATH. Ok, now with that said, LET'S GET ON TO THE STORY.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Tea!" my aibou yelled and ran over to her. Following his lead, I asked, "Tea, are you alright?" and followed Yugi. It was strange, being able to see him before me. I mean, sure we had seen eachother in our soul rooms, but this was...different. It was almost as if it was a fantasy, none of it being real. No, no, not like I fantasized about being with Yugi, it's just that I never thought it possible for both of us to be present, for both our soul rooms to be empty at the same moment.
Julie came over as well. I smiled. Something drew me to her, almost attracted me to her in some way. It was as if the was a magnet, and I only a scrap of metal, pulled in, against my will. Although, I knew I had competition, and he was in the lead. Another reason I hated Seto Kaiba so.
"What happened?" Julie asked, concerned for her friend. Tea just stared, as if looking past Julie. The look on her face was that of terror, as I had seen so often from my enemies. But coming from a friend, it wasn't too welcoming. Finally, she spoke.
"It....it was Takeshi" she stated plainly, still looking terrorized.
Takeshi? Where had I heard that name before? One of Yugi's opponents, no doubt, but which? Then the memory came and slapped me in the face, with the same pain I had felt that very day....
ISitting in my soul room, I fiddled with one of Yugi's contraptions. Something he called a game boy. I was playing a challenging game by the name of Poket Monsters, or Pokemon for short. I'm sure you all know how to play it, so i'm not going to explain it. I had just left the first gym, losing again. Why was it that I, the king of games, couldn't beat a stupid little video game? Just that moment, while I was pondering that question, I got that feeling again. A chill in the base of my spine. Not a bad chill, yet not good either. It could only mean one thing. Yugi had been challenged to a duel. I took control. Gazing at Yugi's opponent, I shuddered. I don't know what it was, but something about him gave him a cold, evil, dark look. His long jade hair was pulled into a low, neatly kept ponytail. His outfit was camo, and his eyes. That was probably what gave me chills. His eyes. They looked...empty. It felt as if I was gazing into and emerald. A solid stone with but one color. No shadowed or highlighted areas, just green, all around. They were almost inhuman. Whatever it was, this guy gave me the chills.
I stared at him, unable to tear my eyes away, although I deeply wanted to, and he stared back at me. Being one of the few people who noticed the swap, he just kept staring. Finally, he spoke. Harsh words, that I did not appreciate.
"Sorry, but I cannot allow you to interfere," he threatened. Could he have known of the bond Yugi and I shared? I didn't have much time to think about it. For Takeshi put his hand up, muttered something in the ancient egyptian tongue, too low for me to understand, and I was gripped with pain. Pain in which I could not describe. I couldn't breathe. His spell was gripping my body, and squeezing the life out of me. Moments before I blacked out, I looked around to find Joey missing./I
I shuddered just thinking of him. With the exceptions of Yugi, Tristan, Bakura, and I, everyone gave Tea and odd look.
"Takshi? Who's that?" Joey asked.
"Takeshi is someone who put your life in danger, Joey," I stated, matter-of-factly.
"Say what?!" He said, confused. Of course he didn't remember Takeshi....He had kidnapped Joey, and knocked him unconscious.
"No time to explain," Yugi said. "We have to figure out what he wants."
Julie perked up. "Just leave it to me!" she exclaimed. Julie also had a Millennium Item; the Millennium Bracelet. It granted her many powers. Among them was the power to talk telepathically and hear others thoughts. I guarentee she had heard me thinking of her once or twice...But I had learned how to put up a mental baricade. She sat down and concentrated. Then a puzzled look took over her face.
"What's wrong, Julie?" Chikara asked.
"...I...I can't get through to him. Whoever he is, he's blocking me," she said, then glared at me, as if it was MY fault he put up a block. As if I taught him. Sheesh....girls....
"Well, knowing Takeshi, he probably doesn't want anything too good," Yugi commented. I nodded in agreement.
DING DONG
"Come on I KNOW you're in there!" came Takeshi's voice, almost a hiss. "Fine, I don't need some children's help to open a damn door," he said, and in moments, the door was on the ground. He had broken through. Julie looked at Takeshi. Being her normal self, and trying to cheer everyone up, she said, "Man, who beat him with an ugly stick???"
Everyone laughed lightly at her comment. Except Takeshi. He turned bright red. "You will pay for that remark," he said slyly.
I looked at him, and those empty eyes met my gaze. "Ah, we meet again," he said, and smirked. I growled. (you know that sound yami makes when he's mad?) Smirking, he moved his hands, and a rod appeared in them. He pointed the rod towards Yugi.
"No!" I yelled. "You musn't harm my aibou!"
He smirked again. "I'm not going to hurt him..." he said. He turned to Julie. "Like I said. You will pay for that comment....with Yami's life!" Then a beam shot out of the rod, headed straight for Yugi's Millennium Puzzle. After it hit, the puzzle appeared in Takeshi's hand. "Tsk, tsk, tsk....poor Yami...you will have to feel death for the first time...Oh well, such is life..." he said, and dropped the puzzle.
Everything seemed to go in slow motion from that point forward. I had time to think. What was death like? Would it hurt? Would it last long? Will I know when it has happened?
"Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"Julie yelled and dove for the falling puzzle. She missed. The puzzle shattered. I reached out my hand, only to see it slowly fading from existence. I looked around frantically as the room faded from sight.
YUGI POV
It's all my fault. If I had been able to prevent Takeshi from taking the puzzle, then Yami would still be here with us. But I could only watch helplessly as he faded away, surely never to be seen or heard from again.
Grabbing the main piece, Takeshi warped away.
"DAMMIT!" Pippin exclaimed.
"Pippin, how come you're allowed to say that word, but I'm not?" Mokuba asked. We all laughed lightly. All except for Julie. She sat at the table and buried her face in her hands.
Grandpa followed and sat down beside her. "What's wrong, Julie?"
A tear slipped from her cheek. "It's all my fault, grandpa..." she said, sadly.
Grandpa looked at her. "Julie, look at me. It's not your fault. Whatever put that crazy idea into your head?"
Julie looked at the ground. "Yes it is. I'M the one who said the comment, and I'M the one who failed to catch the falling puzzle.
I retreated in to my soul room, so I could find Yami, whether he was alive or....
I walked into his soul room and couldn't see anything. Then I looked over at the bed. There he was. There was a strange glow about him. And his body was outlined in rosebuds. He looked so peaceful. But he couldn't be gone, could he?
"Yami! Get up!" I yelled. "GET UP!"
YAMI POV
Nothingness. I was surrounded by nothingness. I couldn't see anything. Nothing was to be heard. I felt nothing. I could sense nothing. I knew of nothing. Not darkness, or light....just nothingness.
"Yami! Get up! GET UP!" I slightly heard someone calling. Yugi! I wanted to respond, to let him know I was ok, but I could say nothing. I was surrounded by nothing. Nothing, but nothingness...
