This is a Yu-Gi-Oh, fic. Yay! o.o It takes place after Battle City, but
I've decided to pretend everything after that never happened, at least not
yet. Hey, I needed a place to stick the setting, alright? Kazuki Takahashi
owns Yu-Gi-Oh, and all of its characters. I take no claim over them.
EDIT: (Marik's name has been changed to Malik. Yami Marik's name has been changed to Marik. Yami Yugi's name has been changed to Yami.) This chapter with be confusing if you don't read this! When I say 'The Yami', I mean Yami Marik. When I just say 'Yami', I mean Yami Yugi. Ok great, now you know. Yay! ----
Though appearing upset with his Hikari, a smile formed on the face of the Yami... Unbeknownst to that, Yugi approached the Yami, "Hey, come on, can't you be a little more mature?" What a stupid question. Only the young boy would ask something like that of an evil spirit. The Yami spun back around, taking hold of Yugi's left wrist and jerking him close, "Too close for comfort, pharaoh..." The boy gave a yelp, causing Malik to look back and see what his Yami was doing, "Hey! Let him go!"
Yugi tried to pull away from the Yami's steel grip, but to no avail. Tea screeched at the Yami, "Let him alone! You bastard!" She sputtered her words, fearful for Yugi. The Yami merely laughed, looking over at his Hikari, "It would seem that the pharaoh is losing his senses. I lied; I am very much in control..." Odion stepped into the room, "Enough of this, Devil. Let him go." The Yami sneered, "But why? He owes me..." Yugi began to try and hit the Yami, but he was put out of commission when the Yami hugged him to his body with his left arm, preventing the movement of the shorter boy. With his right arm free, he pulled aside some strands of golden hair from Yugi's face, "There there, no need to struggle..."
Malik held his millenium rod in the Yami's direction, "I'd really hate to have to hurt more people than I want to, Yami. Let him go, I might consider letting you live." "I'll break his neck before you activate your shadow magic, Hikari," the Yami hissed. Yugi's eyes grew wide, "No, wait!" The Yami laughed, "Quiet, pharaoh, quiet..." ~I'm afraid I'll have to take things over from here, Yugi~ The Yami inside Yugi's mind took control of the boy's body with his consent. "You'll be dead anyway then, Yami," Malik noted. "You honestly think I care?! Ha ha ha!" A psychotic laugh erupted from the Yami's mouth, "All this time I've been waiting to get my revenge on this one insignificant person... I don't believe my own life is too high of a price to pay, do you?"
Odion left the room suddenly; he knew what he had to do. Yugi's friends always thought of a way to deal with the bad and the evil. He decided not to contact Ishizu at her place of work. It was too risky to have her involved. Tea noticed him leave and wondered why. Malik knew what he was doing and yelled after him, "Odion, no! We don't need them!" He scowled after Odion, unable to swallow his pride. He would deal with this Yami on his own! He needed no help! Some old hate began to rise again.
The Yami looked strangely at the boy in his arms, he felt different somehow. Then the presence of the pharaoh washed over him and the direct contact made his flesh crawl with rage...psychotic rage, "So, you show your face, pharaoh?" Malik felt the change too, as well as Tea. "I think you may wish to release me..." Yami said calmly. "You pitiful fool, what reasons do I have to listen to you? I'm through with that! Now die!" The Yami moved his arm up to the Yami's throat, trying to strangle him. Yami didn't seem worried; he merely frowned as the millenium eye came to life on his forehead. His millenium puzzle shone as well.
The puzzle's mystic shadow magic went to work on the Yami behind Yami Yugi. Malik smirked, watching the Yami's arms fade away, first to shadow, then to nothing. The disappearance stopped there, leaving the Yami disabled. Watching his limbs fade away, the Yami backed off from Yami Yugi, having lost his chance to kill the pharaoh he hated so much, "Ah! What did you do?!" The Yami, now rendered harmless, glowered at Yami Yugi. Tea put a hand to her mouth, emitting a shocked squeak of surprise, "Oh! What happened to him?!" Tea trembled with fear; was Yugi doing this? She started at the "un-armed" Yami terrified.
"Only what I had to," said Yami, turning to face the Yami. He received a scowl from the cornered spirit, who then tried to walk up to the Yami. Yami lifted an eyebrow, causing one of the Yami's legs to fade, "Bow before the pharaoh you serve. You're being impolite..." The Yami was caught off guard, dropping down to one knee and then to his rear, glaring upward, "I want to see you bleed," he growled.
Yami shrugged and turned, walking to Malik and Tea. He addressed Malik, "How did this happen?" Malik seemed a bit disappointed; he had hoped to see the Yami suffering. Tea in the meanwhile still stared at the half-existent Yami on the floor. "I don't know any more than you do," Malik replied quietly. "That's a lie. I need the truth if I'm to solve this problem," Yami said smoothly. Malik opened his mouth to answer when suddenly the rest of Yugi's friends appeared at the doorway. Most of them appeared worried.
"What's goin' on here?" asked Joey, raising an eyebrow. Serenity screeched, pointing at the Yami who had scooted himself back against a wall and was watching them all with contempt. "What is that?!" She hollered. Tristan pulled Serenity into his arms, protecting her, "It's alright, Serenity, calm down, ok?" He too wondered just what the hell had happened to the boy. Duke gave Tristan a dirty look but then focused on the ongoing events in the room. Mai stared blankly at the Yami, not because of the fact that parts were missing, but she felt anger toward him and she didn't know why.
Yami looked to his friends and sighed, "-That-," he pointed at the Yami, "Is evil. Don't touch it, and stay away from it. Ignore it too if you can..." Joey tilted his head, "Evil? Look, Yug', Odion dragged us all here cause he said you were in trouble. What gives?" Malik grew impatient with the long drawn out explanation, "It's fine now. -That- thing over there is what you were all up against back at Battle City... I'm just as hateful to see him as you are..." Duke gawked, "Your split personality is a person now? That's impossible!" Malik glared daggers at Duke, "It is -not- a split personality! It's just some worthless -thing- that we have to deal with right now."
Tristan gradually let Serenity go, "So what should we do?" Serenity, now curious, started wandering over to the Yami, keeping her distance though. The Yami was looking down at the floor intensely as if hoping to burn holes in it with his mere gaze. "We're not sure yet, that's why you've all been called here..." Yami said with a nod. Serenity bent down, trying to see the Yami's face, "Hello?" The Yami's eyes slid in her direction, hateful and cold, "Get away from me," he hissed at the girl. Serenity drew back a bit, standing straight. Yami noticed her standing there and reiterated his warning, "Please get away from there!"
Serenity pouted a little, now curious about the Yami and not wanting to leave him so soon. Joey walked over to Serenity and took her by the arm, trying to drag her back to the others, "C'mon, Sis, can't have ya' hangin' around losers like that." Serenity obediently followed her brother's lead, leaving the Yami behind. Yami shook his head, "First, Malik, I need you to tell me everything that happened on the day you found...It." "Arrogant ass..." the Yami muttered under his breath. He didn't appreciate being called an 'IT', especially when he was helpless to do anything about it.
Malik thought for a moment, "Alright...I followed some freak that looked like...It over there." He motioned to the Yami. "He took me to some weird building, where you found me, Yugi. Then he changed...somehow. Like a magician trick. Whoever it was had 'It' strung up and about to be hung. The freak went and started to hang him, and then he disappeared. And I stopped 'It' from dying." Joey gawked, "Aw, come on, Malik; give us somethin' that's at least a little believable.
The Yami looked at the floor again, falling into thought, ~ What are these feelings that I have... I'm caring about what they say? Why? Oh well... I suppose it comes with having a body. Controlling one is one thing, living in and owning one... How many times have I wished for that? And Serenity. That fool... I like her... I think I do... She'll be fun to toy with... That is to say if I can ever walk again. Ra condemned Yami! I want to keep this body. I like it. Wait a moment... ~ The Yami lifted his head, scanning the collection of children. ~Where's Ryou? ~
