Chapter 6 - A Mutiny In The Dark *******************
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As they walked into the doctor's office that the nurse had led them to, Yugi's grandpa sat down in one of the blue armchairs. Yami sat on the other one with Yugi in his lap. No one said a word as they waited, and waited. And waited some more. Finally a doctor walked in, with flushed cheeks and a sad look on his face.
"Sorry for the long wait," He breathed and smiled sadly at all three of them. "I've been in the operating room for five hours. Didn't do much good to the patient." The doctor sighed sadly, and picked up a binder from off of his desk. He read a few comments on one of the pages and nodded to himself. "Alright, I'm afraid that you two will have to wait outside while I perform a few minor tests, okay? You can come back in an hour or so."
Yugi and Yami both nodded. Yugi slid off of Yami's lap, and they both headed for the door. Yugi gave him grandpa an encouraging smile before they closed the door behind them.
They found their way to the entrance of the hospital, and Yugi ran into someone as they were about to walk outside. Both he and the other person were knocked down to the ground.
Yugi rubbed his side as he sat up, and his hurt look was replaced by a look of surprise as he stared into a certain silver haired somebody's eyes.
"R-Ryou?" Yugi finally got over the shock and smiled at him.
"Hey, Yugi. Small world, isn't it." He said slowly in his slight British accent.
"Yeah." They scrambled up off the ground, and laughed with each other as they saw Bakura and Yami glaring daggers at each other. "What are you doing here, Ryou?"
"Oh, well Bakura was trying to help with the cooking, and - well, I can't really remember but I found myself lying on the ground with a burnt arm." Ryou lifted up his arm, and showed Yugi his long nasty looking burn.
"Ouch." Yugi winced at the look of the burn.
"Yeah. What are you doing here?"
"My grandpa was diagnosed with cancer." Yugi said quietly. "We came for another doctor's opinion."
"Oh." Ryou's smile disappeared, and he frowned sadly.
"Yeah. Well, we were just on our way.." Yugi trailed off, and found that he didn't know what to say.
"Yeah, we'd better go." Ryou smiled, and they waved at each other as they walked away. Bakura glanced back at the same time that Yami did, and they both glared.
"You could lighten up on the glaring, you know, Yami." Yugi glanced sideways at Yami.
"And what fun would that be?" Yami smiled down at Yugi, and they exited the hospital and walked down the sidewalk, both walking so close because of cold it was getting.
*********************In the depths of the Darkness***********************
"Master. I have come back." Wizard hesitated before walking into the very, very overly large room full of darkness.
"What news do you bring.?" The emotionless voice seemed to growl in his low voice.
"Well, you see, the mortals, they. They um. Well, they decided to get another opinion on-"
"What?" The voice growled, full of emotion, only anger.
"They decided to get ano-"
"I heard what you said, baka." He spat out, and Wizard bowed his head. "You will find any and every way possible to make their lives living hell, you understand? But keep the young one and his darker half alive." The voice made Wizard shake with fear. "For now." He added and laughed harshly before emerging from the shadows. His black hooded cloak kept his appearance hidden. The Wizard took a step back in pure fear.
"M-master." Wizard dropped to his knees, and kissed his Master's feet, earning an evil chuckled from the one under the cloak.
"Get up!" The man kicked at the Wizard, barely missing his shoulder. "There is work to be done."
"Yes, Master." Wizard jumped up to his feet, keeping his eyes glued to the ground.
"You will return now. And if you do not return within one day and one night, I will have my minions retrieve you. As for you life, it will not be spared. And your son will be your successor. He will live your life as it is now."
"No! B-but you have promised me that you would spare him from this life as long as I obey your ever comman-"
"Ah, yes, but this is something I am commanding you to do. One day and one night only, Wizard. No more, no less. Exactly on time, you hear? If you fail me then you shall face the consequences." The hooded man rushed past the Wizard, leaving him alone with his own thoughts. He frowned, and spat at the ground where his 'Master' had just been.
"You will regret ever speaking in such a manner to me, Master." He spat the last word out so very harshly that even he was surprised at himself. "There are those of us who cannot stand you any longer. And we will prevail." He turned around to see a short blond haired man staring at him suspiciously. The young man had on a long, dark green cloak, hiding his other garments that lay underneath. His hood was not pulled up so that the old man could see exactly who he was. He frowned.
"Speaking to yourself again, Old Man?" The man walked closer to the Wizard, and forced him to stare into his own ice blue eyes. "If you got caught by the wrong person, you could be killed. What am I saying! You would be killed!"
The wizard glared at the man, staring back into his eyes with a look of pure determination on his face.
"The guards are only around the Master. None of his minions would dare leave his side. Even when they are not visible, they would never leave him. They are too foolish." The wizard sighed, and his shoulders sunk down somewhat.
"Do not worry, Wizard, we will win this fight. I say this because of the one I met with just a few fortnights ago." He took a step back from the Wizard to give him space.
"Ah yes, the one mortal with the capability of seeing the results and outcomes of certain events?" The wizard frowned disapprovingly as the young man nodded. "You should not trust any of those mortals. They make our lives harder by simply existing. And if you hang around with those foolish beings, Steth, you will no doubt start acting as foolish as them."
"Will not." Steth glared at him. "Hmmph." Steth turned around, and Wizard followed him out of the room. "I think that they could help if we asked them. Well?"
"No! It's out of the question. We don't need their help" The Wizard suddenly reached out and stopped Steth by grabbing his shoulder. Steth turned to stare at him curiously. "Find Drake. Tell him that our plan starts before the night comes in their world. Tell him to finish his little task before that time comes."
Steth nodded, he didn't want to tell the Old Man what the mortal woman had told him. Especially since he had discovered that the Mortals were their only hope for winning this particular. But the mortal woman with the gift had told him that it would turn out. Somehow. He suddenly smiled. "Goodbye, Father." He turned, and with a swish of his cloak, he was gone, as if he had never been there before. Wizard shook his head, and walked down a dark and dingy hallway, not looking back. Not noticing a shadow moving off in the opposite direction.
********************Back to Yugi and Yami*********************
Yami and Yugi walked back to the hospital after their short yet long walk. Yugi was already freezing, and Yami knew that they needed to get back very soon.
"Do you think they made a mistake?" Yugi asked as he peered up at his Yami.
"I hope so," Was all that Yami could say. He pulled his Aibou closer to him, and they walked back into the hospital and towards the office where they had been earlier. Both could only think of the elder Motou and the Cancer. Could they have made a mistake? There were three doctors, after all!
Suddenly the door to the office opened, and the doctor peered out, and looked around. Spotting them, he beckoned them to come inside. They walked in hesitantly, and decided that they should stay standing up.
"I'm sure all of you must be pretty anxious right now for the test results. Well, I have them right here." He patted his small notebook that lay on his desk. He bit his lip before continuing. "Well, here it is-" He paused a moment, and opened the notebook before continuing his sentence.
