Chapter 8 - Mercy -

Yugi slowly walked down the dark and dusty corridor, his eyes searching frantically for any danger.

There were so many doors that Yugi was beginning to think he was lost.

He didn't have a clue were Yami was and he hadn't bumped into any more rare hunters which Yugi wasn't sure to be glad about or worried.

Yugi wasn't sure were he was going but something told him in his heart that, he would find Yami soon.

He was just worried where.

~ Marik's throne ~

Yami stood and gazed around the room, the walls were totally black and the only thing that would catch someone's weary eye would be the golden throne itself planted in the middle of the room.

Marik remained motionless on the floor, Yami looked down at him and then back around the room.

The rare hunters had felt their master's pain and were now running round the place searching for him.

The door behind Yami creaked; his eyes darted to the door as he turned to face it.

All the doors in the building were plain dark brown and seemed to hold the 'this is a old spooky castle look' and boy were they noisy.

The rusty handle slowly turned, Yami watched with irritation as he took a step closer to the door.

The door seemed the open in slow motion until two nervous rare hunters stepped in.

"What the!?" cried one of the rare hunters as he spotted Marik on the floor

Yami took this as his chance and he lunged at one rare hunter who knocked the other causing them both to fall on the stone cold floor.

One rare hunter screamed when he realised what Yami was about to do.

Yami had taken Marik's millennium rod and was now slicing it into the other rare hunters flesh.

Blood fell from the rare hunter and his screams were soon silenced, the other rare hunter tried desperately to escape, as he crawled towards the door which was so close yet not quite close enough.

Yami grabbed him and twisted him round so he was facing him, "please, have mercy!" the rare hunter cried

Yami peered into the rare hunters horrified eyes, his free hand which held the millennium rod trembling.

"Please! Please..have mercy." The rare hunter begged

''What are you waiting for?'' a voice in Yami's head asked fiercely ''kill him!''

Yami moved the rod closer towards the rare hunters head, still trembling.

"No please! Stop please!" the rare hunter pleaded

'I shouldn't be doing this' Yami thought 'it's wrong'

''Were was their mercy when they hurt us?'' the voice asked ''why should we spare him when he would be glad to kill us right now!?''

'No. They have all been brain washed by Marik, they couldn't help it.' Yami thought back

''You will do as I say weakling! Now kill him now! Kill him!''

"No!" Yami cried pushing the rare hunter away from him "run! Get away from me!"

The rare hunter scampered to his feet before sprinting out of the room with small tears of fear and relief in his eyes.

Yami held his head in his hands, ''you can't fight yourself Yami. You must live up to the meaning of our name, for you are evil and always will be!'' the voices in his head hissed and teased.

"No! I am not evil! I'm not evil! I'm not...." Yami chanted

He didn't know how long he could keep fighting the darkness but he knew if he didn't, the world would have no mercy or light left.

Only darkness.
