Koori No Knife o Daite
Chapter three: Tatakai nuku sono tame ni
And because of that, I'll fight to the end
---------
Yugi slowly opened the door to his bedroom. The February sun shone threw the blinds, welcoming home. Yet, he did not feel welcomed. Yugi hesitantly placed a foot inside the room, and glanced around. Finally he moved to the desk. There he found an envelope with the Japanese symbols that spelt "Aibou" on them. It was written by Yami, Yugi could tell. It had more of a Egyptian font style to it. Yugi felt tears welling in his eyes as he opened the envelope with trembling hands. Below was a poem:
We are different, Like night and day
Like Black and White
Like Yin and Yang,
Without one, the other will fail
Ore no hikari, is what you are
My Yin, my day, my white
Like a vial, memories will be covered
But no matter what, our friendship won't fail
Ore no hikari, is what you are
Through hot summer days,
and cold winter nights,
You are always ore no hikari,
and I am your yami
Without one, there cannot be the other
Light is not with darkness and,
darkness is not with Light
Hikari and Yami, Yin and Yang, day and Night , black and white,
You and Me, aibous forever.
Yugi whipped tears from his eyes. 'Does that mean that I will die too?' he looked out the window to see Sakura sitting on her porch, with a guitar. He didn't know she played. Yugi grabbed the letter and a sweater, then ran to her.
---------
Sakura looked up to see Yugi. She smiled. "Konichiwa, what can I do for you?"
"Since when did you place, Sakura-chan?"
"I have played for a few years now, what is that in your hand?"
"A note from…..Yami…."
"Oh my god." Sakura looked at her friend. Yugi handed her the note, and she read over it. She then looked up at him, eyes full of mists. "Hai?"
"Can you, make a song about it?" Yugi whispered. "I want Yami to know that I still care about him, where ever he maybe."
Sakura thought for a moment. She made a few notes on the guitar, then began to hum (sings to the song, Forever Love):
"Ore no hikari, my light
You teach me kindness and love
Ah, hold me like this
Tightly as you can
We are like Yin and Yang
But no one understands us
We are two souls, bounded by fate
I know this is true,
By the way you treat me
The way you hold me
I will embrace forever
Will you hold my hand?
Will you trust me, Will you believe me?
For all my life?
Ore no hikari, my light
Forever and always,
I will remember you,
For as long as the night sets,
And day brings life,
If you don't believe me,
Oh tell me why"
Sakura stopped and look at him. Yugi's face was tear struck, and he was shaking. "Yugi-chan? Are you alright?"
Yugi sniffed and latched his arms around Sarkua's neck. "Saku-chan, I miss Yami!" his tears ran down his face, and splattered on the guitar, and golden pyramid.

…..three weeks later
Sakura looked up from her guitar and sighed. Yue, Keroberous, Tomoyo and Anzu where all in her living room. "I still do not see how this is part of Anzu's fault." She said.
"We never said that, Sakura-sama." Yue said. "But this has to do with Aznu-sama."
"More like Mecca-sama." Said Kerberous. "In Ancient Egypt, Anzu-sama possed the most powerful item besides the Clow Cards. It was created by the gods, and only one being could carry it. They chose Anzu-sama."
"What is it?" Tomoyo asked as she placed some cookies on a plate.
Kerberous popped a cookie in his mouth. "Well, it is called the Triangle of Light."
"Triangle no Hikari.." Sakura whispered. "I think I have heard of it. It was too powerful, so some ancient race split it into two parts, and hid them at separate parts of the Earth, hai?"
"Yes." Yue nodded. "You see, Mecca was the mother of Cleopatra VII, the last pharaoh of Ancient Egypt. When she died, Jou-sama and Honda-sama split it, and separated it."
"Hold it!" Anzu yelled. "How can this deal with Yami's death!?"
Kerberous looked at her. "What do you remember before the accident?"
Anzu sighed.
Anzu and Yugi stopped their skies. They turned their heads to find Honda helping Jou up. Suddenly Yami came down the hill at top speed on his snowboard, passing them all. He stopped and folded his arms.
"I won, Jou-chan."
Honda laughed and smacked his buddie's back. "You have been doing this for years, Jou! Yami has only been doing this for a day and he can beat you!"
"Well, Jou isn't all that good." Anzu pointed out.
Yugi laughed and turned to his yami. He smiled and skied over. "Is it hard?"
"Not at all, aibou." Yami smiled. "Not as hard as what you call… roller-blades.."
Yugi laughed again. "I am sure Sakura-chan would show you how to do it."
Yami nodded and looked to his right. A gang was approaching on black snowboards. He moved infront of Yugi. "What do you want?"
"Calm down, you wuss." The leader said. "I wanna race you! I saw how good you were on the Bunny Hills, so let us do this! I challenge you! First one to the bottom of the hill!"
"Iie!" Yugi grabbed his darker half's hand. "Yami don't do it! I have a feeling something bad is going to happen, please Yami!"
Yami looked down at Yugi. "Aibou, I am the Game King, I can't let a challenge surpass me." He turned to the group. "Alright."
"So, you are the famous Mouto Yugi." the leader laughed. "Does your older brother here fight all your battles?"
Yugi growled. "He helps me more than you ever see!"
Yami placed a hand on Yugi's shoulder. "Lets go."
They reached the hill. Anzu stood next to Yugi, Jou and Honda. She sighed and got something from the corner of her eye. She turned and saw a girl with red-black hair on the roof of the hut nearby. Anzu shrugged and turned back to the race.
The dinger went off, and they started down the hill. Anzu thought she heard someone say, "now you die!". Anzu turned around and found the girl had a purple mist about her, and was aiming for Yami!
"Yami!" Anzu screamed and grabbed her skies. "Yami watch out!"
Yami turned his head and shook it. He turned his attention back to the race. Then he felt something ram his snowboard. He saw nothing, and shrugged it off. But then a more powerful push happened, and he fell backwards. He looked around, but saw no one. He screamed as another blast hit him square in the chest, and he tumbled off the track. Yami fell, and was beaten by the rocks. /…aibou../
/Yami! Come back to the puzzle, Yami!/
/…I can't…I am to weak..../
"Yami!" Yugi screamed as he watched his darker self fall into the river below.
Anzu sighed. "That is about it."
Sakura looked up. "When I was with Yami in the Shadow Realm, something tore Yami away from me." She looked up. "The power was Egyptian, but it also seemed like a physic."
"Interesting." Kerberous said. "It seems as this person wants the Triangle of Light, but also wants the Royal Family dead." He turned to Sakura. "Sakura-sama? What do you think?"
"I am worried about Yugi." Sakura told them, bringing up a new subject. "Yami left him this poem, and it has me worried."
"We are different, like night and day, like yin and yang." Tomoyo read. "If Yami was the darker side of Yugi, and Yugi-chan is the lighter side…" she paused. "What is going to happen to Yugi!?"
"If you read, another line says Without one, there cannot be the other." Anzu pointed out. "Does this mean Yugi is going to die!?"
"Iie." Said Yue. "There is a improper balance inside Yugi-sama now. The light has nothing to struggle against. There is a possible of two things. One, Yugi stays the way he is, or two."
"He become corrupted." Kerberous finished.
"Oh my god." All three girls said at once.

..the next day
Sakura helped Yugi into the classroom. She had noticed that he was more shut in now, he never talk. "Yugi-chan, is there anything I can do?"
Yugi did not answer, but sat in his seat. Sakura sat next to him, and Tomoyo next to her. The teacher stood in front of the class.
"Minna! Today we have a new student. She is from America, and her name is Sheila Summer. Please welcome her." He turned his head as she came in.
Sheila Summer had waist long brown hair that was in a braid. She wore a boy school uniform, and had Egyptian like earings on. She bowed to the class and turned to the teacher. "Where do I sit?" she asked.
"Right there, next to Mouto Yugi." He said. Sheila sat and began to work.
Sakura looked at Yugi, and Yugi looked at her.
"I have a bad feeling, Sakura-chan." He whispered.
Sakura nodded. "Me too."
