Sorry for the long wait!
Chapter Six
The Master chuckled evilly, as he watched the boy in front of him. Yugi was now chained to a wall, struggling weakly.
"Aaah, little Yugi. You have no idea how long I have waited for this moment."
"Wh-what do you w-w-want?" Yugi coughed feebly. The spell Yami had performed seemed to have weakened him a considerable amount.
"What do I want? Why, nothing more but your power, of course."
"B-but I have no p-power. I am no m-mage." Yugi protested.
The Master clucked his tongue. "Oh, but you are. A very powerful one, in fact. You just don't realize it."
All of a sudden, a flash of light appeared beside the Master, and Yami materialized.
Yugi's eyes widened. "Yami-kun! Help me!"
Yami sadly turned his crimson eyes to stare at Yugi, but he made no move.
"Y-Yami?"
Again, the Master snickered. Reaching over, he petted Yami as if he were a dog, stroking the wild hair. Yami tensed under the touch, but did nothing more.
"Yes, Yami here is my faithful servant. Too bad you didn't realize that in time."
"Yami-kun!" Yugi was now on the verge of tears.
"Yami. You may leave now." Yami quietly exited the room, unshed tears bright in his eyes as he listened to Yugi's pleas.
"Yami-kun, don't leave me! Please, help me!! YAMI!"
Shutting the door, Yami couldn't stand it anymore. He slumped to his knees, crying his heart out. 'I c-can't believe I did that. . .I betrayed Yugi's trust. But I have done this many times before- why is it I am so affected by it now?'
"Aww, is little Yami actually _crying_?" a voice mocked. Yami looked up to face Seto, another mage who worked for the Master. Seto also knew of the Master's plan for Yugi. The two were friends, but often competed with each other.
Quickly, Yami wiped his eyes, furious with himself for allowing someone to see him so vulnerable. "Bug off, Seto-kun." Yami spat.
"What's the matter with _you_?" Seto demanded.
"None of your goddamned business, now get lost!" Yami hissed, standing up.
"You know, Yami," Seto said thoughtfully. "You're an odd one, you know that? I've known you for a few years, working under the Master. You claim to be some evil, ruthless mage who needs advice from no one. And you proved that well by making your own decisions. I'm not saying all your decisions were wise, but they kept you alive from the Master's wrath. So, in a way, by distancing yourself from others, even me, you developed a survival instinct which naturally improves your intuitions."
"What's your point, Seto-kun?" Yami snapped.
"My point is, you've always followed your instincts to keep you alive. Why aren't you following that intuition now, even if _your_ life isn't the one in danger?"
Yami faltered. "But. . .I've never cared about anyone else before. Why is now any different?"
Smirking slightly, the other mage turned to leave. "That's something you have to figure out yourself."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Wh-who are you?" Yugi asked.
"Who am I? My name, is Pegasus. I am one of the most powerful mages in this area. I have my own servants, all experienced mages, to do my dirty work for me. Including Yami."
Yugi's lip quivered.
"Ah, yes. Yami is one of my best mages. I sent him on this important mission to get you. You see, little Yugi, you have power beyond imagination. If you knew how to master it, you could easily defeat me AND all my mages. That is very powerful indeed." Pegasus shifted, and some light reflected off a shiny object hidden by his long white hair.
"Now, I couldn't have that. If you, by any chance, received the proper training, I could easily be overpowered by you. So, I had Yami ensure your trust in him, thus allowing me to take your power away."
"B-but why did you need my trust? Why is it so important for me to trust Yami?"
Pegasus smiled evilly. "That is a very good question, Yugi-boy. _I_ could not go myself to gain your trust because your power is one of light. My power is of darkness, and I have been one with the darkness too long to be able to have a light mage's trust. But Yami has not completely been consumed by the darkness of his powers. So I sent him to gain your trust. Now, why do I need your trust, you ask?"
Yugi nodded weakly, as he shifted in his restraints.
"The spell I must perform to take your power is a very complicated spell. Since you have the powers of light, while I have the powers of dark, I must be able to convert your power to darkness. Otherwise, it would kill me to take the magic of light. Your trust in me one of the key ingredients in performing this spell."
Now Yugi was confused. "But if you needed my trust, how come you sent Yami?"
"Like I said, having a light mage's trust would not work for me. Normally, because of this condition, I would not be able to perform this spell. However, since Yami is bonded to me magically, I can send him in place of me. This way, I have your trust through Yami."
"But what if I don't trust Yami now? Then your magic wouldn't work!" Yugi cried.
Pegasus smirked. "Wrong. The minute you admitted to Yami you trusted him, that was enough. I don't need your everlasting trust. I just needed your trust temporarily. Now, enough talking!" Pegasus roared.
"The time has come for you to die, Yugi Moto. Never should you have trusted in Yami! Hahahaha!!!" Pegasus's evil laughter echoed throughout the room as Yugi cowered against the wall.
Sorry for the long wait!
