Yami: Unseeing Eyes
"Ryou, I'm getting impatient! Why must you make me wait to take my revenge?" Yugi yelled across the room. "Because it inflicts more pain on them this way. I want to get rid of Bakura too, but make them suffer before they die!" Ryou answered quietly. "Please, stop arguing." said Megami from her throne. "Ryou, I think Yugi is right. It's been a week now; if you leave it much longer, they'll begin to cope without you, and they'll become strong again." Ryou nodded. "Come on then. I expect we can find them easily." The pair disappeared.

Yami sat outside the Game Shop that morning. Yugi's Grandpa was away, and had been for three weeks, and without Yugi, the shop was closed. Next to him sat Bakura. Joey had talked to both of them, and both were feeling better. Yami had had another small incident with a knife, but Joey had quickly put a stop to that. Bakura was just silent for once. "What are we going to do then, mighty Pharaoh?" asked Bakura quietly. "Put our differences aside." Yami replied. "This time, we just have to work together. For something."
The sky above them was darkening rapidly, changing day into night. Clouds rolled across it, and rain started to fall. The pair stood to go inside, when lightning flashed, and two figures stood before them. "Y... yugi!" said Yami. "Are you okay? Where have you been?" He stepped towards Yugi. Bakura did a similar thing. "Stop!" said Yugi harshly. "We're fine. Better than we ever were with you. Megami showed us; you've been using us. And now it's time for our revenge." "Yugi, what do you mean? I'm your friend, I would never use you!" said Yami, small tears forming in his eyes. "Your powers are gone." said Yugi. "I gave up the Millennium Puzzle myself. You're nothing now; you're mortal."
Ryou had already drawn his sword, and held it against Bakura. "Kuso..." Bakura said quietly. "Someone's done a good job of turning them against us." "Change of Heart." said Yami idly. Yugi held his sword out against Yami. "We've let you suffer. Now we'll let you die. Megami has shown us your deceptive ways." he said, attacking Yami, who dodged quickly out of the way. Bakura had stumbled backwards, and Ryou was standing over him, waiting for Yugi.
"Yugi..." said Yami, dodging another strike. "Yugi, listen to me! I didn't do anything to you! Remember; I helped you!" Another strike followed this. "You never helped me. It was all for yourself, you selfish pig!" Yugi yelled, pausing for a moment. Yami saw this, and made a quick, strong kick to Yugi's chest. He flew backwards, and dropped the sword.
"Yami! Bakura!" yelled a voice. It was Joey, running up to them. "Stay away, Joey." said Yami, kicking Yugi's sword out of his reach. Yugi shakily stood up. "You... you..." he began. Yami stood facing him. Silently, he drew his fist back, and punched Yugi. He reeled backwards, and Yami caught his wrist, pulling him back, and smiling at Joey. Joey grinned, and gave Yami a thumbs-up. Yami turned his attention to the amethyst eyes below him. "Yugi, I'm your friend. No matter what happens to you, I'll be there to catch you, and pull you back. I'm your aibou, I... I..." Yami hesitated, biting his lip. "Yugi, I love you." he said finally. Yugi blinked, rather shocked, as did Bakura. Joey, however, wasn't that surprised. "Yugi, I loved you since the first day you let me out of the Puzzle. I could never tell you, I was too scared, but now, I can say it." The brightness and sparkle slowly returned to Yugi's eyes, and the black armour faded away. "Yami... I love you too." he said quietly, wrapping his arms around his darker's waist, and crying. "Yugi, it's ok. I'm here for you. I always will be." said Yami, putting his arms around Yugi. "Yami, I'm so sorry!" Yugi wailed, tears soaking Yami's coat. "It wasn't your fault. It was that Megami person. You're safe now."
Ryou frowned. Bakura looked up at him. "Yugi, you're weak." Ryou said spitefully. "I expect I'll have to kill you too. See ya." He disappeared. Yami picked Yugi up, and lead the others inside.
"Yami, why did you do that?" Yugi asked. "Do what?" said Yami. "That. You risked your life to bring me back to my senses. I could have attacked you at any moment." Yugi looked away from Yami's face as he said that, turning red. "I already told you why. I love you." Yami said, hugging Yugi closer. "And I always will.
