Chapter 10:

Anzu and Bakura smirked evilly as they saw that the Pharaoh and the brat, as they call Yugi, have confessed. Yugi and Yami didn't know that they just opened a perfect entrance for the two magicians.

Anzu waved her wand as she cast a spell on Yugi. The two laughed. "Uhh... what spell did you use on him, Anzu?" Bakura asked as he made a fake innocent face. Anzu laughed. "You'll see for yourself, Baku."

Yami and Yugi parted for a moment. They smiled at each other. It was Yugi who broke the silence between them. "Yami, I..." Yugi wasn't able to finish what he was saying when he suddenly became paralyzed. "Yugi? What's wrong?" Yami asked.

"Ya...mi..." Yugi croaked weakly as he suddenly collapsed in Yami's arms with opened blank eyes. Yami stared at his love in shock and worry. He started to try and wake Yugi up.

"Yugi! Yugi! Are you okay?!" Yami exclaimed. Yugi's eyes suddenly closed and turned his face to his side. Yami carried Yugi to the bed and waited for him to wake up.

Anzu laughed at what she saw. Bakura was still confused on what Anzu did. "Anzu. For the tenth time. What spell did you use?" Bakura said as his eyes narrowed. Anzu rolled her eyes. "And for the tenth time, you'll see for yourself." She said as she turned back to the crystal ball.

"Why won't that Pharaoh sleep in boredom?!" Anzu exclaimed. Bakura went near the crystal ball and got out a staff. "Stupid. How would he feel bored when he knows that something weird is going on with the one he loves? Let me handle this." Bakura said as he cast a spell on Yami.

The spell immediately took effect on Yami. Yami felt himself got dizzy and drowsy. "What's going on...? Y-Yugi..." Yami said as his head fell limp on the bed.

"What did you do?" Anzu asked. Bakura looked at Anzu with dangerous eyes. "Are you really stupid or are you just playing dumb? Because if you are, I am really going to blast you out."

"No. What?" Anzu said sarcastically. She just earned a powerful blast of magic from Bakura, which she almost didn't dodge. The attack left a huge mark on the floor. "Okay, okay! I can take a hint!"

Anzu freaked out but didn't dare to show him. She knows how powerful Bakura is. She knows what Bakura's like when angry. She isn't stupid not to know that. Even she, who is one of the high magicians, knows not to mess with Bakura.

"Then good. You know that I hate stupid pranks like that." Bakura said in a dangerous tone. Anzu silently gulped as she went near the crystal ball again. "The spell would likely take effect on the brat about now." She said.

Yugi's body suddenly glowed in red. His eyes suddenly opened. They were totally blank. He looked like a puppet in this state, in which he actually currently is. Yugi got off the bed and looked at the sleeping pharaoh of any signs of awakening.

Seeing none, he looked around the room. His gaze went towards a sharp, gleaming dagger that is used to design the wall. He slowly walked towards the dagger.

His hands got a tight grip on the dagger's blade and pulled it out of the metal wires attached to it to keep it from falling. Crimson blood started to drip from Yugi's deeply wounded hand. But he showed not a single emotion of pain.

Now holding the dagger on its handle, he proceeded to walk towards the sleeping pharaoh slowly.

"Oh. So that was your plan." Bakura said as he held his chin in thought. Anzu nodded. "Try to guess if you got it right." She said.

"Don't treat me like a dumb animal, Anzu. You're planning to use that brat to exterminate the pharaoh. To have it in my own words, to kill the pharaoh. Then after having the pharaoh gone, the boy would come back to his senses and realize what he had done. The other people will blame him for that crime and might as well sentence him to death. If just in case he escapes from the hands of the people, we will exterminate him ourselves. The boy would know who caused it but it's alright since he won't live to tell others about it. Am I right?" Bakura said.

Anzu was shocked. That was exactly her plan. Bakura had figured it out immediately. He was right with every detail. From what will Yugi do until to how the people will act. A sinister smile appeared on her lips.

"You're very brilliant, Bakura. You really impress me." Anzu said. Bakura crossed his arms. "You know what I am. I need to know a person's every plan to step up my own plans right. I always get what I want by rook or by crook." He said.

Yugi kept walking until he was just one step near the sleeping pharaoh. Yugi raised the dagger up, ready to end it all with one swift thrust at Yami's heart. Just one swift move will have Yami's heart stop beating.

Before, he could even do the killing act, Yugi's millennium puzzle glowed, stopping him from doing the attack.

"What happened?!" Anzu exclaimed. Bakura looked closer at the crystal ball. "The Millennium Puzzle! It stopped him!" Bakura exclaimed.

"What am I doing?! My body isn't obeying me! Yami! You got to wake up!" Yugi screamed inside his heart. He knows what's going on but his body wouldn't obey him, nor would words come out of his mouth. His eyes remained blank.

Anzu groaned in frustration and anger, as she sent more magic on Yugi to get free on the millennium puzzle's power.

"BLASTED PUZZLE! IT'S JUST ONE MOVEMENT AWAY!" Anzu exclaimed in anger. "ONE SWIFT MOVEMENT AWAY!"

Yugi's body was struggling to break free from the millennium puzzle hold. Actually, it was Anzu's magic that's struggling for Yugi's body to break free from the hold while Yugi, inside, is focusing all his energy to make his body stay in it's current state.

"Yami wake up! PLEASE WAKE UP!" Yugi screamed inside his heart.

Anzu was tired, frustrated, angry, all mixed emotions. "BLAST IT! WHY CAN'T I GET FREE!!!" She shouted in annoyance and anger. "I get it!" Bakura exclaimed. "You got what?!" Anzu demanded in annoyance. Bakura faced Anzu with a serious face. "I got the reason why can't you break free."

"Then what is the reason!" "Stop that Anzu! Anger will get you to nowhere! The reason why you can't break free is that you are fighting against two forces." Bakura said. Anzu sweated more. "What do you mean?!" She demanded in anger.

"I said to stop demanding answers in anger! The reason is you are not fighting against the force of the millennium puzzle alone. You are fighting against the force of the puzzle, and the force of that brat's will and heart." He said. Anzu groaned in annoyance. "THE HECK! The brat's will and heart has regained consciousness. The brat's stronger than we thought." Anzu said.

"Yami... please... please wake up. Yami... just wake up. YAMI!" Yugi screamed inside his heart. Tears suddenly fell down from the blank eyes. One teardrop fell on the puzzle. The puzzle glowed brighter than ever.

The light caused Anzu to fall back. "What was that?! It was so strong!" She exclaimed. She stood up and continued to use her magic back.

At the same time, Yami's puzzle glowed in bright light. Yami's eyes started to open little by little. As he saw Yugi in front of him with the dagger, ready to kill him in one final stroke, he moved back.

"Yugi! What are you doing?!" Yami exclaimed.

"BLAST IT! THIS IS IT!" Anzu said as she gave it her all. The millennium puzzle's hold was broken and Anzu fainted. Bakura caught her before she hit the solid floor. He placed her in the nearest couch in silence and continued in staring at the crystal ball.

Yugi started attacking Yami while Yami continued dodging.

SLASH!

The dagger sliced through Yami's left arm. He screamed in pain as he held his arm. "Yugi! Stop it! You're out of control!" Yami exclaimed.

Yugi didn't stop. "Yami, please just hang on. I'll figure something out." Yugi said inside his heart as he continues to see what he was doing.

Yami got no choice. He needs to fight Yugi or else he may die. "I'm sorry Yugi!" Yami said as he tackled Yugi. They rolled onto the floor. Yami got the dagger and threw it away. Yugi suddenly got a death grip on Yami's neck.

Yami was choking. They rolled again onto the floor. Now Yugi was on top of him. He quickly raised his knee. As soon as it made a hard contact with Yugi's stomach, he let go and got the dagger once again. Running towards Yami before he could recover, he almost hit Yami directly into the heart but...

"YAMI!!!!!"

Yugi screamed. The dagger stopped before it could hit Yami's heart. Yugi dropped the knife and kneeled down. Placing his face beneath his hands, he cried. Yami opened his eyes as he saw Yugi crying.

"Yugi?" Yami asked. "Yami... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry!" Yugi cried. Yami hugged Yugi and comforted him.

"Hush. It's okay." He said. Yugi's face rose up. He faced Yami with an angry face. "IT'S OKAY?! Yami! Think about it! I almost killed you!" Yugi screamed with tears in his eyes.

"Shh... it's not your fault. You were controlled." Yami said. Yugi buried his face in Yami's chest as he let tears of pain flow out.

"But I let myself be controlled! I'm so careless, Yami! I'm so careless!" Yugi exclaimed. Yami stroked Yugi's hair and back gently. "It's alright, it's alright."

"YAMI! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!" Yugi cried out.

Yami held Yugi in the shoulders to look at him in the face. Yugi's eyes were shut close. "I forgive you, Yugi." "No Yami. Forgiveness isn't enough. I deserve a punishment. I deserve it." Yugi said silently.

Yami held Yugi's hand and pressed it against his bleeding arm. Yugi opened his eyes in shock but refused to look at the pharaoh's eyes. "Yugi, the pain that I feel right now because of my arm is still nothing compared to how much I love you. I don't care even if I get hurt. As long as you're safe, it's all that matters to me. I would give my life for you." Yami said. "But Yami... words are not what I needed. Punish me Yami. PUNISH ME!" Yugi exclaimed.

Yami didn't reply at first. "I said puni - "Yugi was cut off when Yami's lips met his own. Yugi cried. He placed his arms around Yami's neck as Yami's arms snaked around Yugi's waist. Not wanting to break the kiss. The parted for a while. "If a punishment is what you want, then you shall have this." Yami said as their lips met once again.

"Yami... I love you... so much." Yugi whispered between the kiss. As tears started to fall.

"Yugi... koi... I love you too." Yami replied as the kiss deepened.

Two hearts are sealed within the kiss. After an incident that almost caused them their lives, it was the reason that the love that they had in their heart became stronger. For them, this event was unforgettable for even it was almost a life and death situation, they conquered it.

"Love will reign forever Yugi. Remember that." Yami said. "Yes Yami. Koi. I will." Yugi replied.

Bakura glanced at Anzu for a second before opening the crimson curtain, which separates the room and the magical hall. He closed his eyes and sighed.

"Love huh? Hn." He said as he went outside the room and the crimson curtain closes.

"If love really has those awesome powers, I would love to challenge it."
