The knife landed a few inches from the man's neck. Anzu had never seen this side of Yuugi before. He would never do anything that would endanger the life of another.
The man gulped. Yami could sense how uncomfortable the man had become.

'I didn't think his arm was that good.,' thought the man as he took hold of the knife pulling the blade out of the tree's trunk.

Yami stood perfectly still as he waited for the knife to strike either him or the tree trunk. Anzu look on almost in shock. What if something happens to Yuugi? Could she live knowing that he was only trying to protect her from that lech? Before she had time to react she heard the knife's blade connect and when it did it made a small smacking noise. Her breath caught inside of her lungs for a moment until she allowed herself to make a sigh of relief when she saw the knife had landed a food away from Yami's head.

'This guy obviously never tried out for the baseball team in high school.' Yami smirked as he took hold of the knife and held it in his right hand by its wooden handle. He then made his move to deliver the final blow.

The man saw the look in Yami's eyes and began to sweat uncontrolably. 'He's going to kill me! What do I do?! I'll loose if I move...but...if I don't, I'll be hit in the chest or worse for sure! I know...when he throws it I'll move out of the way and before he can react I'll hit him and take the girl. It's been a long time since I've had a little fun with a pretty girl after all.'

Anzu saw the look in Yami's eyes. He wasn't going to miss the man with the knife he held. She gasped feeling helpless as seh watched the knife leave Yami's hand.

The man, however, did move out of the path of the knife...but when he went to reach for the handle of the knife, it had turned into a cobra. "AAAAH!" He quickly pulled his hand away. "Damn you! What is this?!"

The eye of Horus showed clearly on Yami's forhead as he watched the man. HE did not look cocky or have any trace of a smirk on his face either. Instead, a dark purple fire seemed to flicker in his eyes as he stood there with his hands in his pockets. "I knew you would cheat..."

"Damn right I cheated, but it doesn't matter, now does it?! What the hell happened to the knife? Where did that cobra come from?!"

"You have opened the gate of darkness."

"What?! The gate of what?!"

Suddenly the vines of the tree became combras and entangled the man. "AAAAH!!!" He tried to free himself from their grasp, frantically, but his attempts were futile.

Yami turned from him and walked past Anzu. Anzu watched the man who was now on the ground crying and holding his head in his hands.

"...I'm scared...make it stop!!!," the man yelled.

The King of Games had reduced the man to a sniveling baby...

Anzu was extremely puzzled, there was nothing attacking him, whatsoever. "Yuugi! What's going on?!"

"...He was not pure of heart...come along Anzu, it's late and we should find the others."

Anzu noticed the look in Yami's eyes. 'This is NOT the Yuugi I grew up with...this is the one who saved me from the robber at Burger World. I remember his voice now....there really ARE two Yuugi's!"

Anzu had no idea how this could be possible but she was determined to find out who this "other" Yuugi was...and why he made her have such strong emotions for him...
