....... private thoughts
It had grown late and still Tristen had not returned.
"I hope he's alright. He said he was just going back into town for supplies, but what if the killer finds him first!"
Hearing a noise behind him, Yugi quickly spun around. Before he could react, his head exploded as a large piece of wood slammed against his head. Nearly unconscience, Yugi struggled to stay awake as his assailant quickly dropped the piece of wood. Knealing beside him, the assailant set to work in binding Yugi's hands and feet together. Yugi fought as hard as he could to make the person's job more difficult. His efforts were rewarded with a quick punch in the side of the head. The force of the blow caused Yugi's head to slam down into the concrete floor. Squeezing his eyes shut, and biting his bottom lip, Yugi controlled himself from yelling out.
Opening his eyes, he found that the blow had actually cleared his vision.
Well that's one good thing, I guess. But who is my assailant?
Struggling to see, Yugi began to shift and turn trying to find out who was tying him up.
"Who are you?!?"
Yugi finally demanded after growing tired of shifting and turning. Breathing heavily, sweat pouring down his face, Yugi thought of only one thing to get his attackers attention.
"I'd run if I were you! My friend Tristen is here and when he get's back......"
"Oh, that's really not necessary Yugi!"
Yugi eyes widened as he recognized the sound of the voice.
NO! It can't be!
To confirm his fears, the assailant walked around Yugi until they were facing one another. Smiling widely, Téa snickered as Yugi looked up at her in disbelief and fear.
"Téa?!? I don't understand! What's going on?"
"Haven't you guessed yet Yugi? I'm here to kill you!"
"Kill me? But why?!? And what happened to Tristen?!"
Snickering, Téa studied the gleam of her knife and the blood that caked the blade.
"Tristen? He met an unfortunate accident I'm afraid."
"NO!"
"Oh yes, dear sweet little Yugi."
"Why?"
Suddenly it dawned on him
"Your the killer! You're the one who's been trying to kill me!"
"Well, your partially right. Haven't you figured it out? Tristen was in on it too. He was the one who hired the assassin in the first place to kill you. Of course that bastard failed miserably. Thanks to Yami! So he came up with this engenious plan of getting you to come up here alone. You were always so naive! He was suppose to wait until I got here to help dispose of you and to share Yami. Yami doesn't deserve you! He deserves better things like myself and Tristen. Then that ASSHOLE had to have the balls to try and double-cross me! Nobody double-crosses me and gets away with it! NO ONE!"
Yugi's eyes quickly grew blank as he stuggled against the pain that was searing inside of his head to try and contact Yami through their mental link.
//...........YAMI!.........//
/Yugi?/
//....................//
/Yugi? Whats wrong? What's going on?!?!/
//Help..............Téa...........she...........//
Feeling the pain that Yugi was in, Yami reluctantly pushed on knowing that this was probally the only way of finding Yugi and saving him in time.
/Hikari, I know you are in pain. Try to concentrate./
//Try.........Téa............kill.................//
/YUGI?/
//....................//
/YUGI!/
//........................//
NO! I have to reach him! Tristen must of killed Téa! I just hope I'm not too late to save Yugi!
Squeezing the gas, Yami leaned foward as the motorcyle shot foward up the mountain.
Reason why Yugi couldn't respond was because Téa had notices the blank stare he had been given for the last couple of minutes.
"Trying to contact Yami are we?"
Snatching the puzzle, Téa quickly yanked it off forcefully from Yugi's kneck.
"NO! My puzzle!"
Yugi cried out stuggling against his bounds.
Téa glared down at him and kicked him hard in the gut.
Coughing and wheezing, Yugi doubled-up in pain.
Snickering, Téa watched as Yugi squirmed in pain. Turning her attention to the puzzle, she traced the outlines of the Eye of Ra that stood in the middle of the puzzle.
"We can't have him coming just yet now can we?"
Raising the puzzle over her head, Téa threw it down with all of her might, shattering the Millenium Puzzle.
Yugi starred in horror, too shocked to cry out. Tears silently caraided their way down his checks.
"Quit your whinning you baby!"
Téa snarled, as she violently slapped Yugi in the face.
Yugi looked up, glaring at her as blood tricked down the side of his mouth.
"Oh, what's this?! Is little Yugi showing some backbone? Tsk...tsk....tsk.........Well, enough with this boring stuff. Time to get down with business."
Taking a hold of the rope that bounded Yugi's feet, Téa began to drag the defenseless boy outside.
"HELP! HELP ME! SOMEONE! PLEASE! HELP ME!!!!"
Well, not quite defenseless as Yugi hollored at the top of his lungs hopping that someone would hear him.
"SHUT THE HELL UP!"
Téa screamed as she spun around to face Yugi.
Yugi glared and continued to hollor.
"OVER HERE! PLEASE! HELP ME!!!! MY FRIEND IS TRYING TO KILL ME!!!!"
"That does it!"
Cursing underneath her breath, Téa dropped Yugi. Turning back she quickly retreated back inside of the cabin. Taking this as his opportunity. Yugi quickly tried to crawl and roll away from the cabin and from Téa. He didn't get far as Téa came out from the cabin.
"What's this? Leaving so soon? But the party hasn't started!"
Walking over to him, Téa tore off a piece of grey duct tape and taped his mouth shut.
"There. Good little boys should not be heard!"
Giggling, Téa once again grabed the ropes that bounded Yugi's feet and set out into the woods.
Several minutes later, Téa finally came to a stop. Roughly kicking Yugi in the side, she forcefully caused him to roll around until he was facing what she had been facing. In front of Yugi, behind Téa was a large, freshly dug hole. Inside the hole was a wooden crate. Yugi's eyes nearly bulged out as he realized what the hole was going to be used for. Stuggling against his bound, Yugi whimpered in plea.
"Oh! Is da poor little baby afwaid?!?!!"
Téa watched amuzed for a few minutes as Yugi tried to free himself from his bounds.
"Enough of that. You've lived long enough. Time to die."
Picking up Yugi, Téa dropped him into the crate.
"Oh, and don't worry. You won't be alone!"
Smelling something foul, Yugi was forced to peer into the bottom half of the crate were no light was shinning through. Eventually his eyes grew adjusted. Gasping in alarm, Yugi felt his stomach churning as his eyes showed him the dismembered figure that had once been Tristen Taylor. The warm sun had already caused Tristen's body to decay. The smell was over-whelming for the poor child. Feeling his insides about to explode, Yugi opened his mouth to vomit. But to his dismay, he forgot his mouth was taped shut. Being forced to, Yugi had to swollow his own vomit. Feeling light-headed and woozy, Yugi was forced to lay back against the opposite end of the crate.
"See, Yugi. You have someone to keep you company. Hope you two have a pleasent time with each other!"
Téa snickered as she slammed the lid onto the crate. Quickly grabbing the shovel, she began to fill in the hole.
"Oh, by the way, you'll only have three minutes of air before you suffocate. Of course, you'll never make it out in time!!!"
Humming to herself, Téa quickly filled in the hole. Slapping her shovel onto the newly filled hole, she smiled in triumpht.
"Goodbye Yugi! Pleasant dreams!!!"
Throwing the shovel into the woods, Téa then set back towards the cabin. She was nearly there when an unearthly sound caused her to stop in her tracks. Whirling around, she saw a single headlight coming in her direction.
"What the hell!"
She exclaimed, shielding her eyes. Through the blinding light, she could make out a figure with strange, spiked hair.
"YUGI! NO! How did you?!?!?"
"Yugi! Téa is that you?!?!?"
"Yami!!"
Yami quickly got off of the bike and rushed up to Téa.
"Téa! I thought Tristen had killed you!"
Dropping to her knees, Téa decided to try abit of her acting.
"Oh Yami! It was so awful! He nearly did!"
"Shhh....It's alright. Is Yugi with you?"
Yami asked as his eyes searched for any signs of him.
"No....Tristen...he....I'm so sorry Yami!"
Pretending to cry, Téa buried her face into her hands.
"NO!"
Yami cried out in disbelief.
"Where is he? What happened to him."
"He's gone Yami. Perhaps you should move on. Maybe to better things."
Smiling seductively, Téa looked up at Yami as she rubbed her hands against his face. Yami starred down at her in bewilderment.
"Téa? What has gotten into you? We have to find Yugi! There still might be a chance to save him!"
"He's gone. Forget about him. Why do you need a weakling such as him anyways?"
Furious, Yami wraped his hands around Téa's kneck, squeezing hard and lifting her off of the ground.
"You BITCH! Where is Yugi! Where is he?!?!? What did you and Tristen do to him?!?!"
Shocked at first, Téa slowly began to smile.
"Tristen? Tristen didn't do anything. He's already dead. He shouldn't of double-crossed me. And soon in less then two minutes, Yugi will also be dead!"
"WHERE IS HE!"
"Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......somewhere back there, I believe but I don't remember where!"
His breathing becoming elaborate, the Eye of Ra began to glow in the middle of Yami's forehead. A bright light eluminated Yami and Téa as it slowly began to focus around her. Yami's body grew dark until he was nothing but a mere shadow. Only his eyes and the Eye of Ra glowed in hatred as Téa was engulfed by the agonizing light. Téa's screams echoed through the woods as her soul was ripped from her body and sent into the Shadow Realm.
Quickly returning to normal, Yami rushed into the woods, his eyes searching in every direction trying to spot Yugi in the underbrush. Within seconds, he had come across a fresh pile of dirt. He's eyes narrowed as he looked at it. Passing it, he was suddenly filled with fear that seemed to tore at his very heart and soul. Turning around, he gawked at the hole.
NO! It can't be! Please!
Dropping to his knees, Yami furiously began to undig the hole.
This isn't fast enough!
Yami cried out, furious as his body began to shake with emotions.
Hold it together damn you! Your aibou needs you!
Looking around, Yami noticed a gleam from the woods. Quickly getting up, he ran to the light and found the abandoned shovel the Téa had thrown earlier. Hoping that this would help him to save Yugi in time, Yami feveriously set out to undig the hole.
Luckily the hole wasn't that deed. One minute and forty-eight seconds later, the tip of the shovel hit something that wasn't dirt. Throwing the shovel aside, Yami pushed away the remaining dirt aside. Before him was a large wooden crate. A foul stench escaped from inside the crate causing Yami to gag.
RA Please! Don't let that be him!
Tearing off the top of the crate, Yami peered into the crate. There he found Yugi bound and gaged on the floor. His face was pale and his body seemed lifeless. Gently picking him up, Yami brought him out of the crate. As he did, he noticed Tristen laying in the opposite end. Yami sneered at Tristen's body wishing that he was still alive so that he could have the pleasure of killing him. Quickly climbing out of the hole, Yami set Yugi down on the ground and began to untie his bounds. Once Yugi was free, Yami leaned down beside him and began to shake him.
"Yugi! Yugi please! Open your eyes! Wake up!!"
Picking Yugi up, Yami began to shake him harder in attempt to try and wake him up. Yugi's head lobbed to the side, his body lifeless against the attempts to that were being made to try and awaken him.
"NO! Please! You can't do this to me Yugi! Damn you! WAKE UP! I command you! Please! Wake up!!!"
Yami shook Yugi harder as the tears began to fall from his eyes. Angrily, he brushed them aside.
"This can't be happening!"

FLASHBACK
~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Yugi!"
Yami replied annoyed as Yugi attempted to show him CPR.
"Why must I learn this? It'll never come useful. At least not for me!"
Yugi looked up at Yami, giving him his famous puppy-eyes, whimpering.
"Please Yami. For me? Besides, you never know."
Sighing, Yami gave into Yugi. Listening carefully and unwilling, Yami watched as Yugi once again demostrated how to apply CPR to a victim.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
END FLASHBACK
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"YES!"
Quickly laying Yugi down, Yami set forth in applying CPR to the boy.
Oh please let this work!
Yami pleaded to himself as he pounded on Yugi's heart, then breathed into his lungs.
Wake up Yugi! Please! I need you!
Yugi remained motionless as Yami began to grow tired.
no.......
His body filled with a sudden rage, Yami cried out as he slammed his fist into Yugi's chest. His rage was rewarded as Yugi suddenly gasped for air. Yami starred bewildered as he watched as Yugi slowly opened his eyes.
"Y....a....ya..."
Shaking his head to clear the tears, Yami scooped Yugi up into his arms.
"Shh....Yugi be quiet. Don't talk. You need you're rest."
Ignoring him, Yugi opened up their mental link.
//Yami! I'm so happy to see you!//
/I am too aibou. I thought I had almost lost you!/
//Where is Téa?!?? She's the one....//
/Hush. I know. I took care of her. She'll never harm you again!/
//The....the puzzle....she.....she smashed it Yami!//
/She WHAT! No wonder our link was so weak./
Weary and still a tad weak, Yugi slumped to the ground.
"Don't freat so much aibou. I know you'll be able to put the puzzle back together. You've done it before, right?"
"Yeah...."
Looking up, Yugi was about to smile, instead he let out a scream of shock.
"Yugi? What is it?"
Wordlessly, Yugi could only point up at Yami. Puzzled, Yami looked down at himself. What he saw caused him to cry out in alarm.
"What in the name of the gods!"
Before their eyes, Yami was slowly losing his physical form.
"Yami?!?!"
Yugi asked, the fear shinning in his voice.
"What's going on? What's happening to you?!?!"
"I don't know. I don't know what's going on."
"Yami! Yami please! Don't leave me. Just hold on! I'll solve the Millenium puzzle again."
"The puzzle!"
Yami replied, gasping as it dawned on him.
"That must be it. Since the puzzle had been destroyed, I have to return to it's chambers until it's resolved!"
Sniffling, Yugi rubbed his sleeve across his nose.
"Are you sure? What if you're wrong?"
Jestering Yugi over to him, Yami wraped his arms around him.
"I'm positive that's what will happen. Solve the puzzle again and I will return to you. I swear to you Yugi. I will return. Nothing and no one will tear us apart. Not now. Not ever."
Swallowing the lump that was in his throat, Yugi sighed and leaned against Yami, holding him closely until Yami was completely out of sight.
/Don't worry koi. This is not the end. Remember. I'll always be here for you. Always....../
Smiling Yugi nodded to what was now solid air. Turning around, he slowly made his way back to the cabin where the pieces of the puzzle was laying, waiting to be solved once again.
~~~~~
END!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kanatasha: Yeah, you heard right. This the end. Sequel will be coming soon! Yugi solves the puzzle again, but something is terribly wrong with Yami! He is now cruel, insensitive, and abusive to Yugi. Yugi can not destroy the puzzle, if he does, Yami will be destroyed. Gone forever. Will Yugi choose to live with his new, abusive, seeminly unloving Yami, or is he willing to sacrafise Yami to achieve his happiness? Tha's the idea for the sequel. It's still in the process. Things may change as they go along, but this is pretty much how I want it to be. Review this final chapter of Fear of No Love and eventually, I will have the first chapter of the sequel: CONQUERING LOVE WHERE LOVE IS NOT WANTED. (also, title may change. That was just the first idea that popped in. If anyone can think of a better one, let me know. Depending on the story, I may use it.) Well, I'll shut up now, so you can review. Tanka-tanka once again to all of my loyal readers. You guys are the best!!!!!!!

Ignoring him, Yugi opened up their mental link.
//Yami! I'm so happy to see you!//
/I am too aibou. I thought I had almost lost you!/
//Where is Téa?!?? She's the one....//
/Hush. I know. I took care of her. She'll never harm you again!/
//The....the puzzle....she.....she smashed it Yami!//
/She WHAT! No wonder our link was so weak./
Weary and still a tad weak, Yugi slumped to the ground.
"Don't freat so much aibou. I know you'll be able to put the puzzle back together. You've done it before, right?"
"Yeah...."
Looking up, Yugi was about to smile, instead he let out a scream of shock.
"Yugi? What is it?"
Wordlessly, Yugi could only point up at Yami. Puzzled, Yami looked down at himself. What he saw caused him to cry out in alarm.
"What in the name of the gods!"
Before their eyes, Yami was slowly losing his physical form.
"Yami?!?!"
Yugi asked, the fear shinning in his voice.
"What's going on? What's happening to you?!?!"
"I don't know. I don't know what's going on."
"Yami! Yami please! Don't leave me. Just hold on! I'll solve the Millenium puzzle again."
"The puzzle!"
Yami replied, gasping as it dawned on him.
"That must be it. Since the puzzle had been destroyed, I have to return to it's chambers until it's resolved!"
Sniffling, Yugi rubbed his sleeve across his nose.
"Are you sure? What if you're wrong?"
Jestering Yugi over to him, Yami wraped his arms around him.
"I'm positive that's what will happen. Solve the puzzle again and I will return to you. I swear to you Yugi. I will return. Nothing and no one will tear us apart. Not now. Not ever."
Swallowing the lump that was in his throat, Yugi sighed and leaned against Yami, holding him closely until Yami was completely out of sight.
/Don't worry koi. This is not the end. Remember. I'll always be here for you. Always....../
Smiling Yugi nodded to what was now solid air. Turning around, he slowly made his way back to the cabin where the pieces of the puzzle was laying, waiting to be solved once again.
~~~~~
END!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kanatasha: Yeah, you heard right. This the end. Sequel will be coming soon! Yugi solves the puzzle again, but something is terribly wrong with Yami! He is now cruel, insensitive, and abusive to Yugi. Yugi can not destroy the puzzle, if he does, Yami will be destroyed. Gone forever. Will Yugi choose to live with his new, abusive, seeminly unloving Yami, or is he willing to sacrafise Yami to achieve his happiness? Tha's the idea for the sequel. It's still in the process. Things may change as they go along, but this is pretty much how I want it to be. Review this final chapter of Fear of No Love and eventually, I will have the first chapter of the sequel: CONQUERING LOVE WHERE LOVE IS NOT WANTED. (also, title may change. That was just the first idea that popped in. If anyone can think of a better one, let me know. Depending on the story, I may use it.) Well, I'll shut up now, so you can review. Tanka-tanka once again to all of my loyal readers. You guys are the best!!!!!!!
