Yami: Unseeing Eyes



AN: This has just become my longest fic, overtaking Yugi: Dreams of a Memory!

Thank you, everyone!





"Yami... please be careful..." Yugi said nervously.

Yami looked back over his shoulder at his shaking aibou. "Yugi... I'll be fine. Just wait and see."

Suddenly, he felt a hand on his other shoulder.

Startled, he whipped around to come face to face with Bakura.

"Yami, let me help!" the other dark spirit said.



Fear in me so deep, it gets the best of me,



Yami nodded. "Of course. Together we'll win!"



In the fear I fall, here it comes face-to-face with me,



Both yami-spirits faced the figure of Megami. Black shadows swirled around her.

"This battle shall take place in my own dark realm!" she laughed, as the shadows took over the room.

Yugi looked around, scared.



//It's alright, aibou.//



/Okay, mou hitori no boku, I believe you./



Here I stand, hold back so no-one can see me,



"Megami, I don't understand why you wish to destroy me too," said Bakura.

"You were the Pharaoh's best friend, you deserve destruction as well!" Megami yelled.

"Another piece of our hidden past revealed." Yami said.



I feel these wounds, step down, step down,



"Ready?" asked Yami. "As always!" answered Bakura. The battle began.



Step down!



Megami yelled, releasing a wave of dark power towards the pair.

Both raised their arms against it.

"You, Pharaoh, you swore it was your duty to protect the little one?

Your own body, your presence is harming him!" she roared.

Yami looked back at Yugi, confused.



Deep down in my heart



Yugi, also confused by this remark, walked up, and looked into Yami's eyes.

Yugi had grown a lot; he was fast catching up with Yami, though he was still shorter than him.

Yami searched his aibou for some meaning in

Megami's words, until his eyes rested upon one, quite new feature of Yugi's face.



The answer you seek



The scar. Now Yami saw it like he was looking in a mirror.

It streaked across Yugi's forehead, mauve in colour.

An echo of the first attack on Yami, by someone impersonating Seto Kaiba.



If you push your opinion of me away,



"Yami..." Yugi's bright amethyst eyes had caught the same feature. "

It's not pain. It's strength!" he said. "Not pain... strength..." echoed Yami.

"The strength of our bond! We'll fight together!"



You'll see, a stronger side of me



"This is what I think of your strength!" yelled Megami.

She hurled out balls of purple and blue lightning, blasting the three back.

Ryou's muscles relaxed, as the freeze wore off.

"Where am I?" he asked. Bakura took this chance. "Ryou,"



You can see, what I see,



"I love you!"



A stronger side of me.



Ryou looked stunned.

The dark armour and blade fell away, and dissolved into nothingness,

leaving the sweet, sensitive Ryou that Bakura loved.



Fall back on me, and I'll be the strength you need,



"Do you really, really mean that, Bakura?" Ryou asked, looking into Bakura's eyes.

"Of course I do. I may have done some terrible things to you in the past,

but not once have I lied to you."



To save me now, confront your fears, I'll be by your side.



"Now we're ready to fight you!" said Yami. "To the end!" added Yugi. "

For our past, and our future!" "And for each other." said Ryou and Bakura.



"WE NEVER LOSE!"



Stay in place, you'll be the first to see,



Me heal these wounds, step down, step down



Step Down!



Deep down in my heart



The answer you seek



If you push your opinion of me away,



You'll see, a stronger side of me



You can see, what I see



A stronger side of me.



Go!



Deep down in my heart,



The answer you seek,



If you push your opinion of me away,



You'll see, a stronger side of me,



You can see, what I see,



A stronger side of me...



A stronger side of me...



A darker side to my light,



A lighter side to my dark,



You can see, what I see,



A stronger side of me...



Step Down!
