Chapter 5: Obstacles to overcome
Yami was tired. He just wanted Yugi safe at home, away from all of this, and back into his arms. But his old lover just had to get revenge, kidnap Yugi, and make him go through so much just to get to him. He wasn't even sure of what Katari planned to do. Yami trudged on the path, remembering the tragic fate of the Shimoni family.
The Shimoni family was a vampire family, only they fed on rat blood and never ever feasted their fangs on another human being. Soon, the Shimoni family, a man, a woman, and about 13 children, some boys some girls, boys dominating the children side, all got tired of feeding on only rat's blood. So the man decided to create artificial human beings made only out of human blood. Their experiment worked, creating nearly 1,000 artificial human beings made of blood.
But when the A.H. beings started feeling emotions, thinking thoughts, and saying words. They got tired of being the Shimoni's 'food supply' and decided to strike back. They threw the youngest children into a tub of acid, melting away their flesh and bones. The older children were shot in their sleep, and the man and woman were staked 113 times, and thrown off a cliff. (a/n In this fic, the vampires don't turn to dust when they die) The A.H. beings then went on to become real people, got DNA, and decided to never again give themselves to vampires.
But when vampires found out about the Shimoni family, they went looking for the A.H. beings and their decendants or spouses. They killed every A.H. being they could find by feeding. Now, the only thing remaining is the old Shimoni house, with a lab where they created beings made of blood, and the aura of horror and fear that the entire Shimoni family and the blood beings faced before their deaths.
Yami shuddered at this, remembering the sight of death. Yami then looked at the note. The paper was blank, meaning that Yami was probably close. 'This is it. This is where I have to face my biggest achievement. I just hope Yugi's all right' he thought. Yami then decided to talk to Yugi throught heir new mind-link.
//Yugi? Yugi, can you hear me?// A pause rang throught the mind-link. /Yes Yami, are you almost here?/ Yugi asked. //Don't worry little one, I will save you// he promised. /Don't make promises you can't keep, Yami/ said Yugi. Yami was confused about this reply. //Yugi? Are you okay?// he asked, in a concerned voice. /Why should you care? You're a liar anyways!/ Yugi said angrily.
//Yugi, why would I lie to you?// he asked. /Becuae you really love Katari, and you're just rescueing me so that you can keep the reputation of owning the mortal boy who has the sweetest blood!/ Yami was confused. 'Yugi would never talk to me like this, unless...' he thought. //KATARI!! GET OUT OF YUGI'S HEAD RIGHT NOW!!// he shouted throught the mind link.
Katari nearly jumped, removing her hand over Yugi's head. Yugi's eyes went right back to their brilliant shining violet for a moment, then Yugi flopped on his side, unconcious. Katari panted, amazed by Yami's power. "How did he do it? How did he know that Yugi wasn't mind-linking with him, but I was? He might be more powerful than I predicted. Which means he might actaully succeed in his little 'heroic' quest! I have to make sure he doesn't." she vowed.
Katari went over to the bubbling chemicals in the test tubes. "I'll have to make more of this black potion. Just in case." she said. Katari got the necessary ingrediants, and began working. The potion bubbled and boiled until the bubbles were so big, they would easily swallow Katari's hand. Katari smirked. Then she looked over at the unconcious Yugi, still laying on his side.
Yami sighed, thanking the lord that it wasn't Yugi talking. 'I can't believe she found a way to control Yugi's mind like that!' he thought. 'She'll have to pay when I get there'
Yami shook his head, trudging on toward the old Shimoni house. Suddenly, Yami heard something hiss. Yami stopped, looked around, and found a python lurking in the trees. Yami sighed. "Katani, if this is one of your tricks, I'd rather see you try something much more challenging." he said. Suddenly, the snake grew, nearly 3 times its original size. Yami's eyes widened, then his lips turned up into a smirk.
"You really think a python can scare me, Katari?" he asked to thin air. Then Yami got poised to attack. "MIND CRUSH!" The python shrieked, then was sent to the Shadow Realm. Yami smirked, thne he heard a crying in the distance. Yami looked around, and saw a little girl. Yami, feeling pity, went over to the little girl, who was sitting on a log and crying. Yami took a look at the girl. She had long ebony billow hair with the tips dyed with the color red and linings of gold bangs. Yami knelt down at the girl's level.
"Excuse me little one, but why are you crying?" he asked gently. The little girl looked up at Yami. Yami was surprised. Her eyes looked so much like his own. Crimson confident orbs vibrating with darkness. The little girl had tears in her eyes, so Yami wiped them off. The girl looked at him angrily and slapped him. "You killed my friend! You killed Amiera! My python! You killed my best friend, you bastard!" she shouted.
Yami rubbed the spot where she slapped him, then looked at her gently. "That snake was a trick made by a very bad woman. She was not your friend." he tried to explain. The girl madly shook her head. "NO! YOU KILLED AMIERA!! ROT IN HELL, YOU UGLY FUCKING BASTARD!!!" she screamed. Yami looked at the girl with concern. "Isn't it bad for someone your age to be speaking that kind of language?" he asked. The girl slapped him again. Yami rubbed the spot and looked at her.
"Who are you?" he asked. The girl smirked. "I am your daughter, Daddy." she hissed. Suddenly, the girl poised for an attack. "MIND CRUSH!!!" she screamed. Yami yelled out, then covered his eyes with his arms. The mind crush attack never hit him, instead, the Millenium Puzzle redirected the attack right back at the girl. Yami heard her scream, then it was complete silence.
Yami looked at the log, where his 'daughter' used to sit. He sighed, then picked up the note:
WHAT DID YOU THINK OF OUR DAUGHTER, AMIERA? SHE'S SO MUCH LIKE YOU, ISN'T SHE? WELL, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU AND I ARE TOGETHER!! THAT IS THE LAST OBSTACLE, TOO EASY RIGHT? WELL, COME ON TO THE SHIMONI MANSION AND FIND OUT WHAT THE REAL CHALLENGE IS!!
Yami sighed, then ran down the path. He knew the mind-link was closed, so he couldn't contact Yugi again right now, he just had to get over to the mansion, get Yugi out of there, back into the Game Shop, and back in his arms. 'Yugi, please be okay' he prayed.
Yami slowed down when he saw the old run-down mansion. He sighed happily. "Finally, I'm here." he said. Yami walked over to the door and was about to put his hand on the doorhandle, when he had second thoughts. "Wait, what if Katari has some booby trap or something, like on the door? I should run the door down, besides, it makes a better entrance." he said. Yami walked back about a foot or more.
Katari was watching out the window, and couldn't believe what she saw. "Oh, god he's going to run the door down! I have to do something!" she said. Katari then ran away from the window.
Yami ran and ran and ran with all his might, his heavy concentration was on his target, the door. Yami then grunted, and he flew throught he door, breaking it down with no problen at all. Yami then looked around the mansion. He only saw the bubbling chemicals on the table and lamps lining the walls. "Katari? Yugi? Where are you?" he asked aloud.
Katari crept behind him, making Yami turn around. Yami didn't see anybody, so he turned back, only to see Katari with a bucket full of black potion. Before Yami could say or do anything, Katari threw the bucket of potion at him, making Yami soaked in it.
Yami felt dizzy, feeling the room spinning and his memories leaking out of his head. "No..." he whispered, while Katari smirked. Yami knelt to the ground, hands clutching his head. He felt himself slipping away into darkness, he knew he couldn't utter any words now, but he had to try.
Katari smirked, hearing the last word come out of Yami's voice. "Yugi..." Soon, Yami collapsed on the ground. Katari waited a few seconds, got out a bottle of grey potion, then gently lifted Yami up. She poured the gray potion onto the Millenium Puzzle. The Millenium Puzzle shone black light, now tainted with grey. Yami slowely stood up, eyes looking down.
"Yami, I'm so glad you're all right. Now, I want you to remember two things." she siad, giggling. Then she smirked. "Love me forever and kill Yugi Motou!" Yami then looked up, eyes the color of dark blood, filed with hatred and menace. He grinned evilly. "I'll do what you wish, Katari." he said. "I'll kill Yugi, the slow and painful ways possible."
