Disclaimers: I don't own Yugioh...
Author: Okay! I think I should reveal one of the masterminds now.
Yami JK: Just now? Why didn't you do it sooner?
Author: I just thought that I'll also make a second major pair.
Yami JK: Let me guess... Ryou and Bakura?
Author: Right you are yami! You're so brilliant! And I think it's about time I give Mokuba a role!
Yami JK: Hey... peeps... do you have any idea on what my hikari ate this morning?
Author: Bacon and eggs!
Yami JK: Sigh... why am I stuck with such a crazy hikari?
Author: Bweheheheh... Yami! The reviews!
Yami JK: Fine.
Yana5: I'm glad that you're glad! Yes of course they are together! How could my hikari kill the main character?
Cherazz22784: My hikari didn't really want to eliminate Marik but it was necessary. She even cried for a whole night. (Me: I DID NOT!!!) Anyway, we're glad that you like that chapter! We hope that you'll like this one too.
lostlover1: Erm... no. They're not gonna do *that*. My hikari can stand reading those things but she can't stand making one. And about the ransom, no... we mean... what would the ransom be? We don't know what to give you. We're not dumb. *glares at LL1* (Me: YAMI! BE NICE! Sorry 'bout that. I swear yami you need to work on your mood swings.)
yami-jean: We're glad that we're improving. Thanks about that!
Yamishadowcat22: Thanks a lot! Not just for the compliments, but for supporting this story a lot! You've been reviewing us a lot so far. Thank you.
Yami JK: Done hikari.
Author: THANKIES YAMI!
Yami JK: Sigh... just let the chapter start!
Author: *back to normal* That was my line, yami.
Chapter 14:
Yugi rolled over his bed again. He just can't sleep. The memory that happened a while ago was too much to bear. Why would somebody want to kill Yami?
Yugi sighed and stood up from the bed. He opened the golden curtains that led to the balcony of his room and leaned against the railings. He sighed.
"Yugi?"
You looked beside him. Yami stood by the balcony of his own room. "Can't sleep?" He asked. Yugi nodded. "Yeah." "Want me to come over?" "Sure."
Yami jumped from his balcony to Yugi's. "Yami, you shouldn't have jumped recklessly! What if you fell?! Or worse, you could have died!"
Yami giggled. "Well that's the fastest way that I could think of to get to you. And besides, I know some useful tricks on how to jump at high places."
"Yeah right." Yugi said as he smiled. Yami walked nearer to Yugi. "What's bothering you, Yugi?" Yami asked. Yugi hesitated to ask, but nodded. "Well... I just can't get that memory out of my head."
Yami tilted his head slightly to his side. "What memory?"
Yugi looked down on the floor. "The memory... that incident that occurred a while ago in your father's tomb."
Yami nodded. "Oh... what about it?" He asked as he looked at the dark horizon. "Well... why would someone kill you? I'm sure that Marik is just ordered to do so... but... who would do such a thing?"
Yami stayed silent.
"Yami," Yugi held Yami's left arm with his left hand and Yami's right shoulder with his right hand. "Do anyone have grudge on you? You're a wise and strong leader. I doubt that someone is angry at you. Anyone who has a grudge at you is insane!"
Yami smiled at Yugi. "Thank you, Yugi. But maybe someone wants to overthrow me from my position and take my place as pharaoh. But who?"
Currently, Ryou was inside the training area for no reason at all. he just felt on walking around the area. Everything was going on peacefully when he heard a child's scream.
He ran towards the place where he heard the scream.
"Seto?"
Indeed it was Seto. A little boy was beside him with long black hair. "Oh. Ryou. What are you doing this time of the night?" Seto asked. Ryou just shrugged.
"No reason. I just wanted to have some time alone. Is he your little brother?" Ryou asked as he peeked at the boy hiding at Seto's cape. Seto smiles.
"Yes. Mokuba, get out there. I want you to meet a good friend of mine. Now stop chickening out or else we won't continue your training." Seto said as he gently pulled the cape off the hands of Mokuba.
"Hi! What's your name?"
"M-Mokuba."
"Mokuba? What a nice name! Seto, he really is your little brother, right?" Ryou said as he looked at Seto. Seto laughed. "Don't tell me you read my mind?" "No I didn't. I didn't use my power this time. It's obvious." "It is?" Seto asked. Ryou nodded. "Yeah. Judging by how close you are to each other, I could say that you act like brothers." "That isn't an act, Ryou. We ARE brothers."
"Right."
"Oh. Anyway, Mokuba, this is Ryou, Pharaoh Yami's royal advisor. Don't be a naughty boy and say hi." Seto said as he pushed Mokuba over. "H-hi..."
Ryou smiled. He suddenly felt a pair of hands push him from behind playfully. He turned around and came face to face with a smiling Malik, and a grinning Jou. Ryou pouted. "Guys, what's up with all that?"
"Nothin' Ryou. Just to have a lil' attention." Jou said. "Jou! Wanna practice with me?" Malik challenged. Jou nodded and got his sword out as Malik got out his spear. "Challenge accepted, Malik."
"Guys, guys, it's too late for practice. Everyone's peacefully sleeping." Ryou said as he tried to stop the two challenge-filled youths. "Ryou, why don't we team up on Jou? Don't worry. Just give me the strategies and I'll do it." "But Malik, I don't want."
"Oh c'mon!"
"No and that's final."
"Gee Ryou. You don't need to act like the high magician." Jou said. "The high magician? And why did he enter the topic?" Seto asked. "Big brother, the high magician's spooky. He's giving me the freaks." Mokuba said. Ryou sighed.
"I'm going back to my room. Good night."
Ryou then left the gang and went towards his room. Passing by the balcony, he saw Bakura looking at the horizon of Egypt. He stopped and stared at Bakura.
Back to Yugi and Yami...
"Yugi, do you really love me the way you say you do?" Yami asked as he tilted his head to look as Yugi. Yugi blushed at the sight of Yami's orbs. "Of course I do, Yami. I love you MORE than I say I do."
Yami spoke a few incarnations and golden choker adorned with semi-precious stones appeared in his hand. He then placed the choker on Yugi's neck. "Yami... what for?" "Conceder it as a gift my love." Yami said before their lips locked once again in a passionate kiss.
Ryou continued to stare at Bakura who was currently looking at the horizon. Despite his dangerous personality, he definitely looked very peaceful and relaxed. Ryou can't even imagine that this is the high magician he was staring at.
Ryou narrowed his eyes a little, got out a small dagger and threw it at him. Bakura easily got it with the use of two fingers without looking behind.
"Trying to kill me Ryou? You won't be able to do that." Bakura said. "You knew I was there?" Bakura just nodded. He smirked inside.
"Pharaoh Yami would surely be exterminated once this plan would be done. Just a simple usage of magic would end his dear life. Now I will have the pharaoh title." Bakura thought, completely forgetting about Ryou's ability.
Ryou paled. "No way..." He said below a whisper. Unfortunately, Bakura heard him. He turned around to face him with dangerous eyes. "What was that?"
"NO! YOU CAN'T KILL MY FRIENDS!" Ryou exclaimed before running away. "Da**, I forgot about his ability to read minds." Bakura thought as he chased towards Ryou who was currently running towards Yami's room.
"You're not getting away that easy." He then teleported himself. He suddenly appeared in front of Ryou, which made him fall down on his rear. Bakura took the opportunity to pin him down on the hard floor.
"Where do you think you're going?" Bakura asked evilly as a smirk played on his face. Ryou's face was very pale. "Now that it seems that you know my real color, it seems that you've really become a threat to me. I'm sure that the pharaoh would know what I really am sooner that expected. You're coming with me." With that, Bakura teleported them to the hidden room.
Fortunately, Anzu wasn't there.
He threw Ryou on a nearby chair painfully.
"What do you have to say for yourself?" Bakura asked evilly, the evil smirk on his face never disappearing. "Why do you want to kill my friends?"
"What?"
"Why do you want to - " Ryou wasn't able to finish was he was about to say for Bakura back-slapped in on the face hard.
"Of course I heard you. I was just surprised that you still had the guts to talk to me. About that... hn. You don't have to know. I just gain the pleasure of hurting someone... anyone."
Ryou's face was tainted with anger. He just couldn't keep the urge to stay calm any longer. No one could hurt his friends if he could help it.
"You would never hurt my friends! Any of them!" Ryou did some incarnations and the whole room became surrounded with black mist...
... the shadow realm...
Author's notes: Ne, I'm very sorry YxY fans! I have noticed that I'm giving Ryou and Bakura a bigger role in this chapter. I just need to make Ryou kick Baku-chan off. Baku-chan won't really be a villain. He's just a minor villain and he'll later turn to Yugi's group. I'm very sorry for giving Yugi and Yami a minor role in this chapter! I promise I'll give them a larger part in the next chapters to come. After all, this is a YamixYugi story. And I'm sorry too. I got a major writers block.
Yami JK: So you've noticed.
