The Eighth Millennium Item: Chapter 8
A/N: This will be done in a few chapters, and I already have plans for another story, and it's going to be a whole new type of fanfic. Please review.
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, or it's characters, just my characters.

~Kaiba's POV~
The door slams shut behind me, and I whirl around, eyes dilating in fear as I realize that Sara didn't get a chance to follow me inside the room.
"Well... You thought you could escape so easily, that we wouldn't think that you would try to get out, we relied on your stupidity to fall for our other trap, and we were right... we don't like just capturing people, we like breaking their spirits, crushing them until they can't take any more, then we either kill them... or make them work for us." A voice hisses, full of triumph, and I whirl around to not only see Amy, but also Yami Bakura, Amy ready with the Millennium Pendent.
I start to back towards the door, only to hit the cold steel, and I swallow hard.
Sara was right...
I wish I listened to her.
~*~
~Sara's POV~
I wish Kaiba listened to me.
Of course, this isn't the time to think about it...
"So," Josh hisses in victory as more guards come to his aid, "you thought that we wouldn't catch onto your plan. But you were wrong, you tried to warn your friend about what was wrong, but he was too pigheaded to listen, and now you're going to pay."
"Seto isn't a pigheaded." I hiss dangerously, looking around for an escape, and finding none as the guards move closer, cutting me off and closing around me as fear makes my pulse race and eyes dilate as the area gets smaller and smaller, giving me not much room to breathe, let alone escape.
The first blow comes from the side, hitting me squarely in the jaw, knocking to the ground, and I feel blood slowly trickling from my jaw.
The next blow is a kick, and I curl myself into a fetal position as more blows come from all sides.
~*~
~Kaiba's POV~
I hear the cries of pain coming outside, and I know that it's Sara being hurt, there's probably too many for her to fight...
I glare at Yami Bakura, who just laughs and says: "I'll leave you two alone," before walking out through another door.
"Amy... why are you doing this?!" I demand, trying to figure out why she would purposely allow herself to fight with Yami Bakura.
"It is personal..." she hisses, not looking at me. "And none of your business, now, are we going to do this the hard way, or the easy way."
I glare at her, my answer clearly shown.
"Fine then... we'll have it the hard way. I like the hard way myself anyways." Amy gloats, transforming into Ra while finishing her last words.
I gulp and dive for the glass, knowing that it's my only salvation right now to get out of this situation...
The attack barely brushes me, and I feel nothing but pain as I go flying, crashing into a wall hard, wheezing with pain and lack of air, I hear the clanging footsteps of Ra and my death get closer and closer, and I look up in fear as Amy is about to attack...
only to stop, a heartbeat's away from killing me. "Do you want to know why I work for Yami Bakura before you die?" She asks, coldly, mockingly, as if she wants to torture me some more before my death.
I nod weakly; head spinning at the movement, but hoping that I can buy enough time to either recover enough to try to escape the deathblow, or maybe even...
convince her to fight with us.
"Me and Josh are brother and sister, Yami Bakura destroyed our town without any mercy. He spared our family because he knew that we had the other two millennium items." She sounds sad, remembering terrible things from her past that she never wanted to bring back. "He said that he would spare my families life if I would fight for him. Now, it is time for you to die." She finishes, starting once again the attack.
"Please..." I whisper weakly, begging on the last breaths of my life, "Yami Bakura is lying, he will kill your family, if he hasn't already. Then he'll kill you, I should know, please help us defeat him."
Amy's eyes narrow, and the last shred of hope that I have escaping is gone. "Yami Bakura never lies!" And I close my eyes for the last time...
nothing happens.
I slowly open my eyes, fearing that my death will be a slow and painful one that I will regret, only to see Amy looking at me thoughtfully, back to her normal self.
"How would you know, that Yami Bakura lies?" She asks in a whisper, as if afraid to say it louder in fear of it being heard by Yami Bakura.
I swallow hard, and look away, trying to keep the nightmares that are my memories to not flood my mind, but I already see them coming back.
"He did the same to me." I whisper, my voice and heart shattering at those words.
Amy tilts her head sideways, curiously looking at me. "In what way?" She asks, her voice full of curiosity.
I choke back tears, but feel them slowly streaming down my face. "I-I-I... had a brother once, Mokuba. Yami Bakura said if I worked for him, he would live."
"I worked for him for months... doing whatever he said, never seeing my brother, but thinking he was safe. I was wrong," my voice cracks, tears come down in a steady flow as I sob uncontrollably, remembering the moment when I found out I was betrayed by Yami Bakura betrayed me.
Amy's voice was gentle as she speaks for first time since I started my story. "What happened?"
"I-I-I heard it from some guards, they were bragging about me being betrayed by him....." I trail off, fighting back more tears as I remember the terrible moment. "That Mokuba died several months ago. I managed to escape somehow that night, and I've been fighting against Yami Bakura ever since. Yami Mouto is even nice enough not to say what really made me join." I sniffle sadly, the memories too much to bear.
Amy hugs me, to my surprise, "I'm so sorry..." she whispers, her voice full of regret as she walks over and picks up the glass. "Yami Bakura made his final mistake betraying us, he doesn't have the necklace with him... we have to attack him now."
I slowly get up, wincing in pain as my injuries hinder me, and easily falling back down from a gentle push from Amy.
"Stay, you're too injured to help!" I hear the door hiss open as she leaves the room, hearing the shouts louder as the door shuts.
I feel the darkness pulling at me, and I gratefully slide allow it to pull me into sleep.
~*~
~Sara's POV~
The screams started seconds ago, and the shouts afterwards. Then, to my surprise, the shouts stopped, replaced by deafening roars that are making my ears ring,
then, they stop also.
I feel gentle hands lifting me off the ground, helping me stand, and the glass once again in my hand.
I clench my fist around it gently, so it won't shatter, glaring at the traitors before me, about to transform,
when...
I see tears, slowly streaming down their faces, and I realize that they have felt pain like I have, maybe even more.
"What happened....?" I whisper to them, afraid to actually know.
"We don't want to talk about it." Josh says in a tone that breaks my heart, and I don't say anything as I follow the two through the room Kaiba went through....
only to crash into them as they stop dead in their tracks, and I have to squeeze between them only to stop dead in my tracks myself.
Yami Bakura is holding the millennium rod, shaped as a dagger, to Kaiba's throat, and he's out cold.
"One more step, and your friend here is dead...." Yami Bakura hisses ominously.
