Princess Strawberry: Yay! 89 reviews! I know that is not a lot of reviews compared to some stories out there, but still! This is my very first story......
Yami Strawberry: Yes, we know. Don't worry, our dear reviewers, Yami won't die. He will live, in exchange of someone else's life...
Yami: I won't die? *eyes widen* Yes! But aibou is NOT going to exchange his life for me! *hugs Yugi protectively*
Yugi: *smiles weakly* Could you let go now, Yami? They promised me that they won't do that.
Yami: Oh. *lets go* Sorry.
Princess Strawberry: *coughs* Anyways. Yami, you have the honour to say the disclaimer for this chapter...if you don't want to die very painfully. *crosses fingers*
Yami: *O__________O* Okay, I will do it! Princess Strawberry does not own Yu-Gi-Oh or any characters she uses in this fic. Warnings are: there will be Yami/Yugi, Ryou/Bakura, and a teeny weeny bit of Seto/Joey fluff and Téa/Anzu bashing! Enjoy the fifth chapter (numèro 6 in the bar...) of Peaches and Chocolate: Twisted Fate.

Peaches and Chocolate
Chapter 5: Twisted Fate
~*~ Flashback ~*~
"No, Yami," Yugi whispered, tears overflowing again. "Please don't die...I love you..."
Yami smiled sadly, and said in a strained voice, "I love you, too...aibou."
"Yami! NNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!" Yugi screamed.
Suddenly a bright light surrounded the living room...
~*~ End of Flashback ~*~
The bright light dulled back into a mere flare, and the occupants of the living room blinked their eyes, making sure they are not having any hallucinations. There were only three people left in the room, and that included Tristan, Joey, and Seto. They rubbed their eyes once, twice, and thrice, and still...only three people remained.
"Where did the others go?" Tristan stated the obvious.
"Dunno," Joey muttered.
"Wherever they are, I hope they're safe," Seto mumbled, mainly talking to himself. But Joey and Tristan heard him anyway.
Joey couldn't resist the urge to tease the millionaire. "Oooohhhhh....is Kaiba going soft?" he inquired in his Brooklyn accent.
Seto growled softly. "Don't tease at a time like this, puppy." He glared at Joey.
To avoid any possible arguments that will break out eventually, Tristan stood up quickly and said, "The others might have gone outside. I..I am going to look for them." He shut the door behind him, his hurried footsteps fading away gradually. Joey and Seto remained silent and avoided each other's gaze for the rest of the time.
~~~~~~~~ Scene Change: Wherever the others are...^^'' ~~~~~~~~
"Unngh..." Yugi moaned, clutching his head. It was nothing compared to what he had ever felt before. His eyes fluttered open to see blurry images and a swirl of colours. "Where are we?" He recollected his thoughts. The last thing he remembered was that Yami had drawn his last breath, he was crying, then a bright light appeared from the Millennium Puzzle. He figured that somehow, as if by magic, they were teleported to this distant land by the light.
Yugi heard groans around him, and he looked around. He found Ryou lying on top of his yami, which would look quite wrong if you didn't know they were lovers. He also spotted Téa lying unconscious by her yami, Anzu. She was sitting in a corner, unconscious and in a heap. Yugi felt tears stinging his eyes as he held the unconscious Yami closer to him. The tears threatened to spill, but he fought them back violently. He could not cry, he simply could not! Then he realized something. Tristan, Joey and Seto are not here! 'Where are they?' Yugi thought, looking around anxiously, hoping to see them, awaiting for a miracle.
A voice boomed out loudly, causing the teens to jump about a foot off the ground - except Yami.
"Who are you?" Yugi whimpered, slightly - okay, scratch that - really scared.
"I am Horus (or Ra, whatever you want to call him). Yami's father." he stated rather clearly.
Yugi and Ryou's jaws dropped open. Yami's father is a god!? "But...how..." Yugi stuttered.
"Little Yugi, I presume?" Horus questioned, and the said boy nodded his head. "Well, it is quite a fancy meeting you, even though it is in a situation where your loved one is gone. However," he added, seeing the surprised look on Yugi's face. "Yami is not really gone. He needs to go through one more trial before he is 'officially' dead. We shall begin that process..." he paused slightly, letting the newcomers absorb all the news. "...now." Horus snapped his fingers, and a table with about three people sitting behind him. "Let me introduce Anubis - the god of embalming, Isis (the god, not the character)..." his voice trailed off. The others nodded to show they understood, mentally requesting that he shut up. "Anyways," he continued against the gang's wishes. "If you will do the honours, Anubis."
Anubis nodded and pointed a finger ((Me: No, not his middle finger. It's his forefinger - index.)) at Yami, and he started glow a bright shade of amethyst instantly. Yugi, Ryou, Bakura, Téa, and Anzu all shielded their eyes to cover the bright light. The light faded away and they all gaped at him in shock.
Yami was now dressed in Egypt clothes, the ones he wore when he was Pharaoh. Gems and other types of jewels could be seen glittering away on his robes and the crown he wore. His magenta and gold robes flowed down and trailed behind him like a bride's gown. Yami opened his eyes, and his ruby orbs fell on Yugi. He smiled gently, knowing that this would be the last time he would see him. If not, well....
You might wonder why Yami glowed amethyst instead of yellow, like it has always happened. Well, according to legend, when Anubis points his index finger at the supposedly dead person, he or she will glow the colour of his most beloved treasure's eye colour. And that, of course, would refer to a human being. To Yami, his treasure he valued above all would be his other half, his aibou, his hikari, his Yugi. The light was also bright because there was a hint of white blended in with it. The white represented angel.
"Yami, you have died, but if you pass this trial accordingly, another person can sacrifice their life for you if they wish. All though I see no reason to let you live again..."
"No! Please, please let Yami live! I would rather die than to see Yami die!" Yugi cried. "Please........." his whole body was racked with sobs. He fell down to the ground, chest heaving heavily. Yami's heart fairly wrenched as he watched the sight before him. Anubis felt himself softening, which is something he did not do often.
"Fine, Yugi. Tell me what happened that brought you here. Then I would decide who to punish. Deal?"
Yugi sniffled, then nodded. "Deal."
"Begin."
"Well, it started like this. My friends came over to do homework, and I went to the kitchen to get some snacks with Ryou. But this is not important. I will get to the part about why we were sent here. Téa started acting weird, and she pushed me to the wall. I think I fell unconscious. When I came to, Yami picked me up, placed me in the couch, and walked to the kitchen. I think he was getting some hot chocolate and things for me to eat. Then Anzu, the spirit inside Téa's Millennium Earring, attacked. Yami took the full blast of it, and we were being sent here."
"Then, I presume it's Téa and Anzu's fault?" Anubis asked when Yugi indicated he was done.
"Yes."
"Um...." Anubis turned to Isis. "What do you think?"
"You know whatever you say is reasonable, I would agree with you."
"So is that a "Yes, I will punish Yami for this." or a "Yes, I will punish Téa and Anzu for this." ?" Anubis inquired impatiently.
"My final statement is..." the six held their breath. "I will punish Téa and Anzu."
Yami, Yugi, Ryou, and Bakura all releashed the breath they were holding and cried with joy. As for Téa and Anzu? Their mouths were stretched so big that bees could build their comb there. Anzu couldn't believe it. She was supposed to be invincible! Téa kept shaking her head. 'No, no, no, no! I didn't do anything wrong! I am too young to die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'
"The final judgement has been made," Anubis announced. "Téa and Anzu are now officially not allowed on the Earth anymore. They have committed a crime far worse than murdering and rape. They have wounded an innocent soul by attempting to kill his beloved one. An evil deed like that would not be tolerated by anybody. Not me, not Isis, not Horus, and definitely not any human beings you lived with. You don't deserve to live, Téa Gardner and Anzu. ((Me: Last name? - as in I need an Egyptian one...)) You were supposed to be his _friend_, I presume, Téa Gardner? Why did you go back on your word when you said you would be there for him whenever he was in trouble? Both of you shall now suffer. But of course, the decision would be made by the one you inflicted harm upon."
Téa snorted. 'That wimp deciding our punishment? Fat chance. He can't even make his decision whether he wants to duel again or not!' However, Téa and Anzu had forgotten one mere fact that the bond between a yami and a hikari have.
Mind link.
//I got a great idea, aibou.//
/Really?/
//Yeah! *inserts whatever the other readers wants Téa and Anzu to do at...their form of torture?*//
/That's a GREAT idea, Yami!/ "Um...Mr. Anubis...we were wondering if you could do *inserts the readers' choice of torture and death wishes* that."
"Sure!!! My great pleasure!" Anubis squealed. ((Me: Isn't he supposed to be serious? O________o))
~~ We take a break but readers go on to killing and torturing Téa and Anzu ~~
~~ Okay, break's over, and so is this chapter!!! ~~
=P
~ To be Continued ~
Authoress' Notes:
Princess Strawberry: There, Yami did not die, and Téa/Anzu haters got their wish for torturing and killing them. Happy now? And I apologize if this chapter is so short...I kinda ran out of ideas.
Yami Strawberry: Figures.
Princess Strawberry: Shut up. *fire blazes in eyes and acts as the background*
Yugi: *says hurriedly to avoid any danger* Please read and review this chapter before the authoress turns into a demon!
