Disclaimer: DON'T OWN YUGIOH!!
Chapter Nine
Now, Yami had another worry to add to the list. 'How can I love someone who is not Anzu?'
His thoughts were interrupted by cries of pain coming from outside his room. Running out, he realized it was Yugi, painfully holding his head.
"Yugi, Yugi! What's the matter?" Yami cried, holding the writhing boy.
Yugi didn't answer as he continued to scream.
Yami quickly summoned a spell to find out what was wrong, but to his surprise, he found it was unaffective.
******************
Nearby, a certain High Priestess watched smugly, congratulating herself. 'Yami may have been the most powerful magician in all of Egypt, but he doesn't know of my secret training. Now, he can't get through to that little Yugi-brat. He won't know it was me, and at the same time, Yugi will be killed by his soul! Perfect!'
*******************
Yugi screamed even louder as the pain increased in his head. Unable to take it any longer, he fainted in Yami's arms.
Cursing, Yami hastily carried Yugi to his bed and called his personal healer. "Find out what is wrong with him." Yami commanded the healer.
********************
'Where am I?' Yugi wondered.
"That does not matter at the moment, little Yugi, but if you really want to know, your soul is in the Shadow Realm." A loud voice boomed.
Frightened, Yugi whirled around, looking for the source of the voice. "W- who are you?" He asked fearfully.
"Again, you ask an insignificant question." The voice chuckled, though not one bit friendly.
"What you should be asking is, 'What am I doing still living?'" The voice mocked.
Yugi's eyes widened. "What?!"
"Think about it." The voice continued. "What do you have left? No family, no real life to live, no one who cares about you. Why don't you just give up? Give up and join your family in death. What would you be leaving behind? Definitely not someone who cares for you, that's for sure."
"Yami cares for me..." Yugi whispered doubtfully.
Again, the voice laughed. "Ho yes, the almighty pharoah cares for you. That's why he punishes you for such little things, that's why he allows Jazella to torture you."
Yugi shouted back, "That's not true! Yami doesn't punish me for petty things, and he often stopped Jazella from hurting me!"
"Ahh, but that's what he wants you to think." The voice said in a persuading tone. "You don't know the truth, do you little Yugi? You're even more clueless then I thought."
"What do you mean? And how would you know?" Yugi yelled, starting to get angry.
"When you see who I am, you will know how I know." A dark figure began to materialize in front of the slave.
***********************
Yami watched Yugi worriedly. 'What's the matter with him? My healer says he has no fever, no sickness at all! Maybe it's magic...? Should I cast a spell to find out? Ack, what have I got to lose?'
Yami chanted softly, calling forth a common yet very advanced spell often used to detect any use of magic.
Yami's eyes widened as he realized the results of the spell. 'Oh my Ra, there's a demon inside of Yugi's soul! Who put that there?' he thought angrilly.
Again, Yami summoned a spell but this time used a different one that was meant to dispell any dark spirits. "What!?" He cried out as he felt his magic being absorbed. "That's the second time this has happened! How can any spell be more powerful than mine?!?"
**********************
Jazella chuckled evilly from her hiding place, enjoying the pharoah's discomfort. "Try all you want, Yami, but you can't break through this spell. Too bad you don't know that every spell cast against it gets sucked in and is used as energy for my spell. You're only strengthening my magic for every spell you try against it!"
**********************
Yugi's eyes widened again, this time in disbelief. "Yami!"
The figure smirked. "Correct. See, Yugi, that's how I know Yami doesn't care for you because I am Yami!"
"No! That's not true! It can't be!"
Yami sneered. "Stupid commoner, of course it's true. All those times, when you thought I was protecting you, it was only to contribute to my ultimate fun."
Yugi whimpered, beginning to believe. "W-what f-f-fun?"
"You really want to know? Breaking you. Making you believe I actually cared, and then at the end only to have you find out it was all an act! Face it, Yugi, you have nothing left. Just give up like you should have done a long time ago."
By now, Yugi was crying brokenly, pierced through the heart by the other's words.
******************
After a few more useless attempts to dispel the evil spirit, Yami decided to use his last resort. "I will use the Soul Invasion charm." He muttered.
*******************
Overhearing Yami's decision, Jazella gasped. "The Soul Invasion charm! Doesn't he know that that can kill his soul if performed wrong! Even _he_ isn't powerful enough to use that spell! Is he out of his mind?"
******************
Yami knew the fact too, as well as Jazella. "Ra, give me the strength to successfully perform this incantation." he prayed.
With that said, he began the spell, chanting softly at first, then getting louder. Jazella watched anxiously, hoping he would fail.
Face scrunched up from concentration, sweat rolled down the King's face. His strength was rapidly leaving him, his magic draining from just this one act of magic. Suddenly, he disappeared in a flash of white light.
