Yami: Unseeing Eyes
Ryou sat by the side of Megami in her dark chambers. "Ah, Ryou, very clever. You have tormented his mind, I like it. Soon, it will be time for the final assault." Megami said gloatingly. "I have also destroyed his dream-form; that can only lead to the eventual destruction of his very soul" Ryou pointed out, with a sharp look in his usually-gentle eyes. Megami smiled at him. Ryou disappeared, and reappeared outside the house of Yugi Moto...

Yami yawned, and woke up. He raised himself from his place by Yugi's bed, and was happy to find that his aibou was sitting up in bed, reading a magazine entitled "The OFFICIAL Industrial Illusions Magazine of DUEL MONSTERS! All the latest news from the Duelling Community!" Yami also found that there was a picture of himself on the cover, along with a Dark Magician, with the caption "Yugi Moto, the top ranked duellist, under Seto Kaiba! Find out all about him inside!"

"You would not BELIEVE some of this stuff, Yami!" said Yugi, showing him a page. "You'd think that they'd actually make the effort to interview me or you!" Yami took the magazine, and slowly began to read. (AN: Yami has trouble reading Japanese writing, according to me, because I feel like it.)
Name: Yugi Moto

Age: 15

Lives in: Domino City

Favourite Card: The Dark Magician (2500/2100)

Info: Yugi Moto has taken the Duelling world by storm, after defeating (in an unofficial duel) the World Champion, Seto Kaiba, then going on the win both the Duellist Kingdom and Battle City tournaments! There appears to be no limit to this amazing kid's duelling talent. He currently attends Domino High School, and has rarely been seen out of the company of his friend, Joey Wheeler, placed second in the DK tournament. We were unable to get an interview from him, but a helpful member of Yugi's class gave us this information: "Yugi Moto? He's a cheater. He talks about this 'heart of the cards' stuff, and how it always lets him draw the right card. It's obvious what he really does. He stacks his deck, sets it up. And he's actually schizophrenic. Talks to himself, stuff like that. He's mad."

So, what do you think? Is he a true champion, or a cheater? Many are doubtful that Yugi Moto deserves the title of 'King of Games'...

Yami read no more. "Disgusting. Which of your classmates would say that?" he asked Yugi. "I dunno. Probably some jealous kid. But, I mean, how can they say that you shouldn't be called the King of Games! Just for believing in the heart of the cards!" Yugi complained. "Don't worry about it, aibou. Bakura and Joey are downstairs. I said we'd help look for Ryou." Yami said, smiling at his young aibou. Yugi jumped out of bed, and quickly got changed, before the two ran down the stairs.

Suddenly, there came an explosion, hurrying the hikari and yami pair downstairs, to the front room, where Bakura and Joey had been sleeping. There was a huge hole in the wall, and the edges were blackened, as the result of the explosion. Bakura and Joey were both standing, staring at the figure who had just made his way through the smoke filling the room. It was Ryou, with an evil glint in his normally-soft eyes, and a smirk plastered across his face. "It's time for you all to pay." he said, rushing out to attack Bakura. Bakura dodged the first few assaults, before a well-placed punch struck him in the stomach. Yami looked on his fellow dark with shock; why wasn't he fighting back? Yami well knew the answer; however abusive Bakura had ever been to Ryou, Bakura would not fight him. Not because of cowardice, or because he would lose, he was well capable of rendering Ryou unconscious. It was because Bakura loved Ryou. Fights are between enemies, but Ryou was not Bakura's enemy.

Bakura kept dodging shots, until Ryou jumped back. "You won't fight? Fine. I'll destroy you first!" Ryou raised his hands, forming fireballs in them, and hurling them at Bakura. Bakura took hit after hit; not moving, not dodging, until Bakura was flung back under the steadily growing force of Ryou's attack. Joey, Yugi and Yami simply watched; they weren't to get involved. Ryou formed a dark blade in his hands, and stood over Bakura, ready to end his prolonged life. "Not so powerful now, hmmm?" Ryou gloated. "I HATE you, and now you will die." The words 'I hate you' echoed through Bakura's mind. He shut his eyes, and turned his face away. He was bruised, winded and burnt, and on the verge of tears. Yugi and Joey shut their eyes as the dark blade plunged downwards...
