Kinsako- Mwuahahahahahah! Wow, here I am, updating chapters less than a week apart. I'm so proud of myself! self satisfied grin
Jess- ATTACK!!!!!!
Kinsako- AHH!! falls over backwards
Tonde- Yes! Maybe she hit her head!
Kinsako- rubs head Ow!
Jess- Since you dedicated the last chapter to me, I am here, and I decided to steal you fan fic, and stuff you in a bottle, and make you sit there and write, and amuse me ALL DAY!! evil smirk
Kinsako- Ha! Try it, and you get a one way trip to the inside of your jar!
Jess- That's what you think! pulls out prices of a broken jar from behind her back THERE IS NO MORE JAR!!!
Kinsako- AHHHHH! The jar has been destroyed! Chaos, mayhem, and legions of ninja monkies will now rule the world!!!
This is a story about a Yami and Hikari of my own creation, and was done pretty much on a dare, cause certain people kept telling me my writing is too "normal" and "cutesy".
*Warning* This story contains Yuri, or a girl on girl couple. Don't like it, don't read it. It's that simple. Flames will be used to set fire to spare soul cards. This story is rather angsty, and there is quiet a bit of violence and unrequited love and such. Oh, and other couples mentioned in this story but not really expanded upon are: Yami/Yugi, and some mentions of Marik/Malik. I love Yami/Hikari relationships, so check for future stories on them. I'm going to do some Bakura/Ryou, and Seto/Joey fluff too.
Kinsako - AHHH!!!! Run for your lives!! All is lost now!!! Oh, and I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh.
Jess- Mwahahahaha!! All shall bow before my new world order, or they shall be dismembered!!
Tonde- Sigh. There is never any peace and quiet around here. Oh well, guess I'll have to do something about that! pulls out rocket launcher
Jess&Kinsako- AHHH!!!!!
Tonde - ;-P

Shadow's Light- Chapter 8
Memories
I struggled. Fought blindly against an unseen force that threatened to pull me into oblivion. I felt hot tears streaming down my cheeks, and the darkness drew me down a little deeper. No! I wouldn't let it! I had to fight... for...
I shook my head violently. Someone. There was someone I had to fight for. Someone who was waiting for me. Someone who...loved me! I tried vainly to pull upwards, to break free of whatever was holding me down. No good. I couldn't budge it and inch, but I could sense that I would fall further if I didn't try.
//Kayore...//
Kayore? Was that my name? Why couldn't I remember? Where was that voice coming from? I twisted around as far as I could, and tried to look in all directions. Nothing. Just the same empty darkness.
//Oh Gods hikari, please don't give up on me!//
Light? Why was this voice calling me light? Whoever it was, they sounded sad. I wonder if they were sad because of me. I hate making people sad. I gritted my teeth, and pulled as hard as I could.
Yes! The bonds holding me gave about an inch. I panted slightly. Why did I feel so dizzy all of a sudden?
//Fight it Kayore.//
I shook my head to clear it. They were right. I had to fight whatever it was that was holding me here. I squeezed my eyes shut, and pushed upwards as hard as I could. Another inch. How much farther did I have to go? My head swam. I didn't know how much longer I could keep this up. I pushed again, and as my bonds gave way a bit more, pictures began to slowly come into focus in my mind. A tall blond haired boy playfully shoving a darker haired boy. A blinked. These people, they were familiar... I knew them! Joey and Tristan, two of my friends!
//Hikari...please...don't leave me again...//
I swallowed, and pulled a bit more. More pictures... a short boy with tri-colored hair and bright purple eyes, talking to a taller version of himself more blond in his hair and crimson eyes. Yugi and Yami! That's it, every time I escape a bit farther, my memories return to me. I grinned, and began a slow, but methodic pace upward. My memories flooded back to me with every inch I gained. Ryou... with his soft eyes and sympathetic smile... Marik, a mischievous glint in his eyes...
I stopped for a second, my breath coming in ragged gasps. I was almost free. I could sense it... but... I sank to my knees. I was exhausted. Whatever it was that was holding me felt like steel bands, and it was become harder and harder to pull against it. My vision swam, and I slowly began to slip backwards into the darkness...
//KAYORE!!//
The voice snapped me back to my senses. I tried to get up... tried to will my body to move forward, but I couldn't, and the darkness pulled me down again.
//Please...//
The voice was getting softer. I wish I could remember who it was...
I sucked as much air as I could into my lungs, and slowly, agonizingly, I reached out, and pulled myself forward. Another memory. A raven haired girl with tears streaming down her face...
Akasha!
My eyes flew open. How could I forget my yami? I loved her more than I could ever understand, and she...
Kayore, her soft voice floated through my mind. I love you more than you could possibly imagine. I felt like someone had ripped out my heart when you left me, and I just couldn't imagine living another day never seeing your smile again, or hearing you laugh. You are like the brightest star that lights my way in the darkness of my soul. I would gladly follow you into the afterlife or beyond, hikari no tenshi.
I smiled. Akasha. My dark angel. What had I been thinking, I could never leave her. I stood slowly. The darkness shrank back all around me, and the bonds that had been holding me loosened, and then disappeared all together. I closed my eyes, and stepped forward into the light...
***********************************************************************
(Ha! I bet you thought I was going to end it here, didn't you? Well, there's a bit more left to this chapter, so keep reading!)
I opened my eyes slowly, and my vision swam for a second. I blinked a few times to clear it, and then my surroundings came into view. I was on the floor of my bedroom, cradled in someone's arms, and they were sobbing quietly into my shoulder.
"Akasha?" I said softly. "What's wrong?"
She gasped, and her head jerked up. She blinked several times, and then squeezed me tightly.
"Kayore!" She said, her voice a bit think from crying. "Oh Gods, I thought I'd lost you again!"
I smiled, and tried to sit up. Akasha grabbed my arms, and gently held me down.
"Take it easy! Your energy is nearly gone, I'll give you a boost as soon as I get you onto the bed." She picked my up, and carefully set me down on my bed.
I closed my eyes. She was right. I was exhausted, and I could fall asleep right now. I felt her place her hands on my cheeks, and then a warm shiver ran thought my body. I opened my eyes, and sat up. I yawned and stretched my arms. That's what she meant by a boost.
She sat down on the edge of my bed with a sigh. "You've got to stop scaring me like that Kayore!" She snapped lightly. "That's twice you've done it, and I would really prefer if there wasn't a third time!"
I smiled, edged across the bed next to her, then wrapped my arms around her, and rested my head on her shoulder.
"Sorry," I murmured. "Are you mad at me?"
She laughed softly, then placed her hand under my chin, and drew my face upwards.
"Never." She said, and captured my lips in a kiss. I almost gasped. Our first kiss. Or, I think it was anyway. I had a dream once that she appeared beside me, and softly pressed her lips to mine. Or at least I thought it had been anyway. I guess not. She broke off, and glanced away, a slight blush covering her cheeks. Yeesh. I had never in a million years though my yami was this bashful. I shook my head, threw my arms around her neck, and pressed my lips against hers again. I think I surprised her, it took her a full second to realize what she was doing. She ran her tongue along my bottom lip, and I opened my mouth in surprise. Okay, my turn to be a bit shocked. I hesitantly ran my tongue along the inside of her lip. God! Did she ever taste good. I sighed with pleasure, when all of a sudden, she broke away again.
"Akasha..." I said slowly, and swallowed nervously. Was this ever going to sound stupid. "I... I want you."
She lowered her eyes. "Kayore... I can't."
My eyes widened. "Why?"
She bit her lip, and her bangs fell in front of her eyes. "I.... I can't take this from you, I don't deserve it. I've taken so much from you in the past, and I nearly took your life from you twice!" She pulled her hair back with her hands, and I was surprised to see tears forming in the corners of her eyes.
I smiled, and slid across the bed towards her. "Akasha, you can't take what is freely given to you. This is my choice, and if you won't the I'll..." I paused for a second, and a wicked grin spread across my face. "Then I'll just take it anyway!" I threw myself at her, and pushed her back onto the pillows. I placed my hands on either side of her, and grinned down at the shocked look on her face.
She stared up a me for a second, and then suddenly, she burst out laughing. I pouted. "What's so funny?"
She smiled, and expertly flipped me onto my back, and took my position. "Kayore," she said with a slight purr in her voice. "You've never really been with anyone in your life, would you have any idea what to do?"
The grin slipped from my face. I was a bright one, wasn't I? "Ummm... no."
She laughed again, and pulled me up to sit in front of her. "Kayore," she said, and kissed me very softly. "Are you sure this is what you want?"
I smiled, took her hands, and pulled her down onto the bed. /Aishiteru Akasha/ I whispered softly over our mind link. /Now and forever. This is exactly what I want/
She smiled, nodded slightly, and pulled me into another kiss.

Ha! You thought I was going to turn this into a lemon, didn't you. Well, hate to disappoint, but I don't think I have enough *experience* to do that yet.
Tonde and Jess are rolling around in the background hysterically laughing
Oh, shut up you two, or I'm sending you both to the Shadow Realm.
Anyway, this isn't the last chapter of this fan fic, I'm adding an epilogue probably sometime later this week. After this story is done, I'm thinking of either a Bakura/Ryou, or a Yami/Yugi.
Thanks to everyone who read this, even if you didn't like it, you're still all awesome for reading it! :) Vanilla Coke and Starbursts for all!
