Chapter 5 - Giving in to darkness -

"I've got it!" Bakura declared looking up at Yugi

"Finally" Yugi said

Bakura glared at Yugi, "well thanks very much!" he replied

Yugi sighed, "sorry Bakura, I am thankful." He said

"I'll just wake the others then" Bakura started, standing up.

"No!" Yugi said "I don't want them in danger. Lets go alone"

Bakura was shocked but he agreed, "very well" he said, "lets go."

~ Mariks residents ~

"They are coming master," said a rare hunter

"I know" Marik replied "but we will deal with the brats later. Go! Bring me the pharaoh"

The rare hunter bowed, "yes master" he said, already on his way to the dungeons.

~ Marik's dungeon ~

The rare hunter stopped at the bared door of the dungeon, he opened the door and walked in slowly.

Yami was now sitting up against the wall, his eyes were still glazed and he said nothing when the rare hunter pulled him up and dragged him out of the dungeon, towards Marik's throne.

~ Back to Yugi and Bakura ~

Yugi stared at the dark building, which appeared to be in the center of the shadow realm, "Is Yami in there?" he asked fearfully

Bakura looked at his millennium ring, "yes, that is where the pharaoh is being held" he said

Yugi gulped, "then lets go." He said

Bakura frowned, "the place might be crawling with guards. Hey, Yugi?" Yugi was now running towards the building. "Yugi you twit! Wait up!"

Bakura caught up with Yugi, "never do that again." Bakura panted

"Sorry" Yugi said "but I just got to find Yami. Come on! Lets go inside!"

Bakura sighed, "can't we make a plan first?" he asked

Yugi looked at him and then back at the building, "no" he replied, "there's no time"

"I thought you'd say that" Bakura said following Yugi to the doors of the building.

~ Back to Marik ~

The rare hunter dropped Yami in front of Marik, "hello again, my dearest pharaoh" Marik said

Yami didn't respond, "what? Not talkative today pharaoh? That makes a change." Marik smirked

His plan was working Yami would soon be his.

Marik bent down to Yami's level, the cup in his hands.

"Drink." Marik ordered Yami

"Obey your master Yami," said a voice in Yami's head

"Yeah, do as he says!" hissed another

"Drink!" Marik repeated

"Give in to the darkness" Marik grabbed Yami's throat causing Yami to part his lips slightly.

Throwing Yami's head back and tipping the contents of the cup in Yami's mouth, Marik grinned evilly when Yami swallowed.

Yami eyes rolled backwards and then closed, Marik watched expectantly until Yami opened his eyes.....
