Chapter 6: Servant's Rebellion

Even though Yami was slowly gaining strength, he was still weak. The pain was so intense that, without meaning to, he growled at anyone that dared to approach him. Even when he yawned, his sharp teeth shown quite clearly. Finally, Yugi summoned enough courage to approach Yami and try to make him more comfortable. When he got to the bed, he noticed that Yami was sweating heavily in his sleep. "He must be having a nightmare." Indeed, Yami was having a nightmare. It was the fight with Bakura. Only in the battle, Yugi was viciously attacked and killed before Yami could save him. He and Bakura started to fight like before and when he bit Bakura's throat, he winced in pain. This caused him to snap out of his nightmare.

Yami looked at his wrist and noticed that he in fact had bitten himself and was losing blood. Fortunately for him, Yugi was there. When Yugi saw the blood, he placed his hand on the wound. Then, as if by instinct, his hand began to glow and the wound began to close. This power Yugi was feeling felt like a heavy burden being lifted, both from him and Yami. When Yugi was finished, he smiled at Yami who in turn smiled back. Yami really felt like he was part of this family. He asked Grandpa if he could remain there since he had nowhere to go. He soon became the Mutou family guardian. He protected Yugi from bullies at school and helped Grandpa keep thieves and troublemakers out of the store.

Yami was introduced to Yugi's friends and they hung out at the arcade. It was there that everyone found out that not only was Yami a skilled warrior but also a skilled duelist. He explained that where he came from, duel monsters were real. "Hey Yami, Yugi's a good duelist too; top duelist at school." said Joey, guzzling down his soda. Soon they turned on the TV and watched the duel monsters tournament between Weevil and Mako. Yami was amazed at the moving pictures in the glass box. Yugi stifled a giggle. Suddenly, there was a lot of static and the picture changed to a swirling portal and sucked everyone into the TV.

The next thing anybody recalled was that they were standing in the middle of nowhere with pitch black clouds above them. "W-where are we?" whimpered Joey. Yami turned and said, "We're in the Shadow Realm and I know who brought us here." His face was filled with worry. He knew his master had brought him back because he didn't complete his mission and he killed a fellow vampire, but right now he was more concerned about the welfare of his aibou and his friends. Suddenly, a voice, as cold as ice, spoke to them. "So Yami, you've brought some innocents from Earth so you could drain them of their energy. Well done."

Yami glared at the figure in the shadows to which the voice belonged. It belonged to his master, Pegasus, a tall man with below shoulder length silver hair. "I will no longer kill! For you or anyone else! I will make sure your blood and remains are scattered across the Shadow Realm!" growled Yami. Pegasus just chuckled and waved his index finger in Yami's face, "Come now Yami, you know I have the power to banish your soul if you try to attack me." Yugi stepped forward and spoke up, "Sorry to disappoint you but I freed Yami from your control so he can do anything he wants." With clenched fists, Pegasus glared at Yugi murderously. Then he composed himself and said, "Since you cost me my servant, you shall pay dearly!" and grabbed Yugi by the throat and began to strangle him. Yugi's breath became short and he began to faint. The last thing he remembered seeing was Yami lunge at Pegasus the way he lunged at Bakura, with teeth and claws at the ready.

Yami wrestled Pegasus to the ground, slashing and biting him. They rolled on the ground, attacking each other. Yami was gaining the upper hand until Pegasus pulled a cheap trick and disappeared only to reappear behind him and sink his teeth into Yami's neck. Yami had never experienced the feeling of being bitten before, but he didn't like it. Yami could feel the blood bubbling in his throat until it came pouring out his mouth, staining the ground. Yami's fate was almost sealed had Joey not interfered and pulled the elder vampire off the younger. Yami took his silver sword and drove it into Pegasus' heart. Blood came hurtling out of his mouth and totally drenched Yami from face to chest. Then Yami slashed his master's stomach open until intestines and all the other lower body organs hung out and plopped to the ground. Lastly, Yami drove his clawed hand into Pegasus' chest and pulled out his heart and squashed it in his grip. Pegasus fell to his knees and burst into flame. As he was engulfed in the fire, a bright light imploded from the flame and hit Yami head on. Yami collapsed in shock.

The danger was over, but Yami was in bad shape. Claw marks and puncture wounds marred his skin, blood spilling profusely from every laceration. Fortunately, Yugi woke up and crawled over to a wounded and dying Yami. Wanting to heal Yami to the fullest extent, Yugi began to glow and light energy as he placed both hands over Yami's body. Yami began to glow too. After the big light show by Yugi, Yami was completely healed. "Let's go home." said Yami and snapped his fingers. In an instant, everyone was back in the living room staring at a blank screen.
