Chapter seven…

Disclaimer-I own very little, I defiantly don't own yu-gi-oh.

Note!!!!!! I did it again. I killed someone in this chapter. So yeah, don't flame if you're angry about who I killed. The death just worked very well for my purposes, I'm sorry ;_;  also I switch back and forth between two scenes for awhile- they're happening simultaneously. You'll get it when you read.

_*_*_

"Welcome!' Yugi chirped as a customer entered the door of the game shop.

No answer, Yugi looked up from his work, "Oh, hi Kinta."

_*_*_

Kinta sat writing trying to get the memories out of her mind.  She poured over the papers she'd filled, there where a couple memories that came extremely strong she thought those were the key, but it seemed Kilandra had her hand in everywhere, she knew things past, and current, she'd been setting this up for awhile. About 6000 years to be exact.   Kinta saw parts of hers and almost everyone else's pasts in the visions but why they were so prominent was harder to discern.   One thing had showed up in two of the visions though, it was a spell written in Egyptian, she copied what symbol she could see, an ankh and scattered text, once she had seen them on a scroll Seto read from and another on a child's back.  They seemed important, what text she could read seemed to be a spell to stop something or maybe protect..? She couldn't read enough of the hieroglyphs, they weren't very clear in her mind.

_*_*_

Kilandra stepped forward.

"I thought you and Bakura were working out how to defeat Kilandra? Where'd you go?"

" Just out Yugi, I had to get some things, is everyone upstairs?"

"Yeah."

"Perfect." She smirked.

_*_*_

"Bakura?"

"What?"

"Recognize this? Bring anything to mind?" she showed him the drawing of the symbols.

He looked for a moment then his eyes went wide. "Actually I think I do…." He grabbed the pen and started writing on the drawing.

"Hey you'll screw it up!"

He stopped and showed her the drawing, "is this what you saw?" he had filled in some of the gaps, adding the rising sun and card pictures.

"Yes that's it! Where have you seen it?!"

_*_*_

"Is Yami around?"

"He and Anthy had to go run errands, he should be back in a little bit. Did you need to talk to him?"

" Just wondering."

_*_*_

"Malik."

"He has a copy?"

"No. They're tattooed on his back."

"He must have been the child I saw…"

"Yeah, that'd be him. What's so important about them?"

"I saw them twice, once Seto was using them for a spell – a spell on Yami."

"Point?"

"I think they just might have something to do with Kilandra, she erased the memory of Seto using them through me - she didn't want us knowing about the spell. So it must be important. We need Malik – and Seto too. We have to bring them here."

"Easy enough. I'll go get the phone downstairs in the shop." Bakura turned to leave.

_*_*_

Yugi shifted uncomfortably, Kinta gave him the creeps - especially now. She walked forward and Yugi thought she was leaving, he sighed.

Then he saw the knife.

_*_*_

"Oh shit…um… Bakura?"

"What?"

"What if Kil's already gotten to Malik..? You saw how insistent she was about having him on her side, now I'm sure he's part of this… it'll be hard to sway him if she's toyed with him."

"Eh, worst comes you can just change his memory? That's what that thing's for right?" he motioned to the Sennen Band on her wrist, "No problem."

" That's true… well go get them here, I'll keep working there has to be something else I can get from this mess…" She muttered the last part and turned back to her scrawlings.
_*_*_

Screams rang thought the shop. Bakura and Kinta rushed downstairs, Yugi lay on the floor bleeding heavily for a wound in his chest.

"Shit, what happened, Yugi!?" Kinta ran forward and grabbed Yugi.

"It was, Kilandra… I thought she was you.."

"Shit." Kinta looked to Bakura, "Help me! We need to get him bandaged up and stop the bleeding!"

Bakura knelt down and used his jacket to tie around the wound, Yugi started coughing – coughing up blood.

" Shit, Bakura, I don't know if he's going to make it, she missed his heart but I think she punctured a lung." She said in a hushed tone so Yugi wouldn't hear, "Either that or she hit an artery. He'll be dead in a minute know any healing spells?"

"I can try." 

Bakura touched the wound and it glowed blue, both waited while Yugi gasped for air. "Kinta it's not working." He hissed in a panic.

/of course it's not. /

"You again!" Kinta stood up angrily.

/ You of all people should know I use enchanted weapons. The dagger's wound is permanent, even if it didn't anything he'll bleed to death because the wound will never close. /

"You bitch! You sadistic Bitch!" Bakura and Yugi watched in confusion.

/ You were once too, you could save him you know, you have the knowledge, but can you remember before he dies? / Kilandra's laugh rang though her mind. Before dissipating and leaving.

" Bakura, do everything you can, I might be able to stop this… the haughty bitch hinted I can, keep him alive." She commanded.

Bakura nodded and returned to trying to slow the bleeding.

\ What can I do..? Think think…enchanted dagger wounds… I know this… you need the counter spell…and that's…  don't you need the dagger though..?…. No you need … I know this! You have to… you… draw the spell out! That's it! Into a new vessel dagger…okay I need a dagger../

 Kinta raced to her soul room and found a plain non-magic blade. She reappeared into the normal realm and shoved Bakura off, " I know how to stop it. Stand back. Hold on Yugi, Yami will kill me if I let you die."

Yugi gave her a weak smile. She hurried, she didn't have time to waste – he was fading.

She unbound the wound and smeared his blood on her hand, then she held the dagger over the wound. And began painting the blood on it.

"I implore thee Anubis, this vessel is not ready cleanse his soul and -"

" Get away from him!" Yami and Anthy raced through the door and ran to Yugi knocking Kinta away. "What did you do!?" Yami raged, " What did you do to him!"

" I'm trying to help him if you don't let me he'll die!"

" I think he wouldn't be like this if it weren't for you, you're holding the dagger still! His blood's all over you!"

" You're wrong! Let me help before he dies!"

"Yami…" came a weak voice – Yugi.

"Yugi? It's ok, I won't let her near you..."

"It's too…late…Yami… I'll miss you…"

"No! You aren't dieing!" Yami raged as the tears welled in his eyes.

  Yugi just smiled then closed his eyes. " I love you all…"

Then he was gone.

"NO! You can't be dead Yugi…wake up! You're not dead yet! You can't be…" but the emptiness Yami felt in his soul told him the truth - Yugi was dead.

Anthy sank to her knees eyes wide with fright and tears. "He-he's gone…"

" You did this! You killed him!" Yami raged; he turned to Kinta and Bakura. " You killed him!"

 " I didn't! It was Kilandra!" Kinta yelled.

" Liar! His blood's all over you two! You're holding the knife and everything!"

"We found him after she attacked! I was trying to draw the spell out into the dagger! The wound she gave him was with an enchanted dagger, I could have saved him if you'd have let me!"

" Liar! It was you!"

" It wasn't! We were trying to save him!"

/ They won't believe you. /

Kinta clutched her head. " Get out! You've done enough!"

/Now they'll think you're insane too – well more so. / She chuckled.

" Go away!" she screeched.

/ As you wish, I'll be back. 'Til the next one dies…/

"There won't be anymore I won't let you kill them!" Kinta sank to the floor as Kilandra left her mind. She was jolted back to reality by Bakura; he grabbed her wrists and held them as he spoke.

"It was her again?"

She nodded.

"What'd she say?"

"She'll kill someone else. She's waiting til the end for me. For us."

Bakura nodded knowingly. Then he turned to Yami. "Look pharaoh" he spat, "neither of us killed your light, what's done is done, you can't bring him back, now are you going to help us kill the one who did it or fight us? I suggest the former or she'll die next." He pointed to Anthy. " I don't mean by Kilandra – I will. You're either with us or against us.  And I don't suggest against. What do you say pharaoh?"

_*_*_

End. I just had to leave you there.

So um.. I killed Yugi.. Mep! *Hides* Don't kill me! Onegai?! If you kill me I can't finish the story! So don't be too mean, but well... someone had to die and it had to be Yugi…

Kinta- Let her finish this is all part of the plan. Really. Oh and she upped the death count to a total of 4, 5 if you include Isis from 'Kinta'.

*Peaks out from her fortress* Eh… Review please!?!

Random note- Bakura's taking charge. I'm in love with his little speech at the end.
