I blink slowly, shocked at the sight of Yami Bakura's lighter side.
"I'm so sorry..." Bakura whispers, tears slowly streaming down his face, and slowly cuts the ropes that hold me prisoner except my hands.
"It's not your fault..." I say equally as softly, as if in fear that raising our voices would bring Yami Bakura back in itself.
"Yes, it is! He promised, ..." his breathing gets ragged, I can feel his tears slowly hitting my back, tears of shame and sorrow. "He promised that he would leave... That I could get rid of the Ring after all of the Items were taken... that he wouldn't need me as a vessel... and I believed him!" His last words came out as a wail, him dropping to the ground, tears slowly spilling from his eyes.
I slowly get up, muscles protesting after spending so long tied to that chair, looking nervously for guards.
Thankfully, they only show up when I stop screaming, a disturbing thought...
but it will let me get out of this situation alive.
I kneel down in front of him, wishing my hands were free so I could give him some more comfort.
"It's not your fault... he lies to a lot of people." I say, remembering from the show what he's like.
"Yes! It is... I didn't try to stop him... even after he got all of the items, and started taking over the world... all the pain that he's caused... all the people he's killed... I can't take it anymore! That's why I stopped him from hurting you! I wish that I'd never heard of the Ring! And now I can't get rid of it! With the rest of them, they can't be separated!" His voice cracks, the emotions that he probably keeping secret for so long in fear of his Yami's wraith come boiling up, spilling over in a wave of tears.
"It's okay, it'll get better." I say softly, eyes hardening at the thought of Bakura seeing all that his Yami has done.
"You're the only one who can. I have to get you out of here, so... so... you can stop my Yami, even if it means killing me." His voice is strained, but determined to stop his Yami, even if it means killing himself.
"I can't kill you!" I say, eyes widening in horror at even the thought of killing someone.
He straightens, going his full height and grabbing my shirt and yanking me off my feet in such a threatening way that I was afraid that his Yami had returned. "You have to stop him! It's the only way!" He says, literally snarling, sounding and acting scarily like his Yami with his words and his actions. He drops me, grabbing my shoulder and spinning me around, grabbing the ropes and roughly shoving me towards the door.
Fear grips me as he roughly pushes me along, wondering if Yami Bakura has actually gotten control again, and he's just torturing me.
Yet, he doesn't say a word as he shoves me outside, and to the edge of the island.
"Here..." he says, handing me the stained glass, and cutting the ropes holding my hands together. "It's called the Millennium Glass, and it will help you get out of here." He gasps in pain, holding his head, "he's coming back! Get out of here while you still can!"
I hesitate, slipping the glass around my neck, and feeling the power already rising from it. "What about you?! I can't leave you to face his wraith alone!"
"GO!" He snaps, and fear hits me like a ton of bricks as I realize that he's right... I can hear Yami Bakura's cold and unrelenting voice rising from the gentle voice of Bakura.
I hesitate a little longer, and then I feel something gently slipping into my mind, and panic hits as I think that Yami Bakura is taking over my mind with the Rod...
'It's okay... I am nothing like Yami Bakura.' The voice is soothing, gentle, but the last words are spat out like it's a curse.
I relax a little bit, looking around to see myself in a small room, filled with dueling monsters posters.
I'm in a soul room?!
'Yes... Don't worry, I'll explain later, Sara... I have to get us out of here first.' The voice is still gentle and soothing, but has a hard edge of determination that I can't argue with.
If I'm not being controlled, who's the voice?
Unless...
"Yami? I have a Yami?"
'Yes, and watch what the glass can do, you'll need the information later.' The voice continues, and suddenly, I can see everything in a hazy-like way...
Suddenly, I feel myself getting larger and longer, flatter like a snake, with four legs and a body that stretches out, my skin turns bright red, and metal. Eyes slowly turning yellow, and my mouth growing out, expanding into two mouths, with many more teeth, and horns growing on my head, sharp spikes growing out of my body with large wings sprouting from the sides.
It only takes a second, and is completely painless.
I blink in shock, still absorbing the information as my Yami takes flight away from the place that had been my personal hell for so long.
I can transform into Slifer the Sky Dragon...
that's why Yami Bakura was after me...
I retreat slowly into my soul room, mind reeling with the events that have transpired today, injuries that still haven't fully healed causing unbelievable pain for me and my Yami even after transforming into Slifer.
'Rest...' the gentle voice of my Yami pulls at me, making my eyes droop a little as the exhaustion of lack of sleep and the emotional stress of the events that have transpired ever since that fateful night that I plopped down on that couch in the Student Lounge...
I fall into a deep sleep, lying on the floor of my soul room.
~*~
~Yami Gilses's POV~
I fly slowly along, sensing my other side sleeping quietly in our minds...
I was worried about her, she almost died, and there was nothing I could do about it since we were separated...
not anymore.
I fly faster, determined to reach Domino City by nightfall, knowing that Yami Bakura's slaves will have a harder time finding us at night.
They'll be still searching for us, though...
I shake my head of these thoughts, flying rapidly towards a city that has only known pain and destruction ever since Yami Bakura's reign of terror has started...
but not for much longer.
