Yes, I killed Ryou. It is fun writing death-scenes. But now I'm having a problem... Murai-Sakura won't give Ryou back to us. How can I ever finish the fic? How am I going to solve this... OUCH!
Yami Bakura: (is runnig in circles, being chased by a werewolf) AAAAAH! MAD DOG! HEEEELP!
Yugi: OO"
Ryou-Ran: (gets up) Ow... (leans out of the window) Come on, Murai! I am going to need Ryou again! And I'm not going to kill him, because he's dead already!
Marik: Shall I use my Millenium Rod and order her to give us Ryou back?
Ryou-Ran: No, you'd better not.
Yami: (leans out of the window, with a very regal expression on his face) Murai-Sakura, as the Pharaoh of Egypt I command you to release Ryou!
Egg: (hits Yami's face) Crack!
Yami: (touches his face, eyes are shut) Blood! AAARGH! YOU KILLED ME!
Ryou-Ran: --"That's what we call "egg", Yami.
Yami Bakura: COULD SOMEONE PLEASE SAVE ME?
Ryou: (stumbles in, a bit blueish)
Ryou-Ran: Did she release you?
Ryou: Yes, but Seto Kaiba had to bribe her. Oh, my throat... Aah! (is been knocked upside-down by Hikari Lunar) SLAM!
Yami Bakura: (jumps in the curtains) MOMMY! RYOU! HELP ME! RA, PLEASE SAVE ME!
Wolf: (is struck by lightning)
Yami Bakura: (looks up at the sky) Thank you, oh sacred Ra! (gets a grumpy look on his ugly face) But that didn't give me my bone back!
Yami: (stumbles around, falls in Yugi's arms) Ooaaargl... she killed me... Yugi, before I die... I want to tell you (cough cough) you have been a great Hikari.... (cough, splutter)
Yugi: OO"
Yami: Trust the Heart of the Cards... (splutter, gurgle) rgl (numbs)
Yugi: --"
Ryou: Oh my... what now?
Yami Bakura: I think I have an idea. (grins evilly) Does anyone have a feather?
Marik: Yes, I do. (expression matches Yami Bakura's)
Yami Bakura: (sticks feather up Yami's nose)
Yami: Aah... Aaah.... AAAACHOOOO! (blows loads of snot in Ryou's face)
Ryou: Oh my goodness... Aaargh! (faints)
Marik: (is weak of laughter)
Yami Bakura: (is flat on the floor, holding his stomach) WAHAHAHAHAHA!
Ryou-Ran: See, Yami? You aren't dead.
Yami: Yes I am... for five-thousand years already!
Ryou-Ran:--"Okay, I'm going to start the fic again. Here comes the disclaimer.
Disclaimer: Ryou-Ran does not own Yu-Gi-Oh! (leaps into throat of laughing Yami Bakura)
Yami Bakura: Wahaha-GLOUK? Huuch, haarch, choking....
Ryou-Ran: --"2 Right, here we go.
Light in darkness
Yugi stared at his own reflection in the mirror and then at his hands. They were clean, but Yugi could still see the blood. Ryou's blood. He made water flow over them and scrubbed, but the blood wouldn't go away. Yami suddenly emerged and grabbed Yugi's wrist. "Yugi, it is not your fault."he said. Yugi turned a wet face at him. His lower-lip trembled. "But he did it to save me! If he did not hit that man I would have been shot and Bakura-Kun would still have been alive!"he cried. "But now he's dead, thanks to me!" He leaned against Yami's shoulder. Yami slapped an arm around him and held him tightly. "Don't feel guilty, Yugi."he said. "Bakura-Kun is happy now."
That afternoon Ryou was to be burried. Yugi, Yami, Joey, Serenity, Yugi's grandfather, Téa, Tristan and Marik, who had delayed his trip back to Egypt were there. After a while Mokuba walked in too, followed by a reluctant Seto. Yugi walked over to the cascet with the body of his friend in it. Yami followed him. Yugi looked at Ryou. Ryou was clad in grey pants, his blue-striped T-shirt and the pale-blue coat he had worn during the Battle City tournament. His slender hands were folded on his chest and partly covered the Millennium Ring. His face looked...empty. The big eyes were closed and there was a vague smile on his lips. But the body just looked like an empty shell.
"Do you believe in the afterlife, Yami?"Yugi asked. He played with the chain his Puzzel was attached to. Yami nodded. "According to our Egyptian religion there is an afterlife."he said. Yugi seemed to have grown a few inches shorter. "Do you think Bakura-Kun will go to heaven?"he asked with a thin voice. "Yes."Yami said, not hesitating a second. "Bakura-Kun was a warm boy, always willing to help others. People like that will go to heaven." Yugi fixed his gaze on the Millennium Ring. "What about Yami Bakura?"he asked. Yami looked at the Ring too. "I don't know. The Spirit of the Millennium Ring died with Bakura-Kun. There is only one way to kill a Spirit like me, or Yami Bakura: you must kill the host."he said. Yugi frowned. "But what about Yami Marik?"he asked. "We destroyed him." Yami looked at the ceiling. "Yami Marik was different. You know: Yami Bakura and I were both humans, long ago. After we died our souls got stuck inside the Ring and the Puzzle. But Yami Marik wasn't human. He was Marik's anger and hatred. He was a demon. We are... I mean... Yami Bakura was a Yami. So am I. But Yami Marik was a different kind of Yami. Thanks to that he could be destroyed without having to kill Marik."
Yugi leaned over to Ryou. "Ryou? Can you hear me? I'm sure you can."he said. "I... why did you do that? Why did you sacrifice yourself? That was stupid!" Ryou of course did not answer. "You wanted each of us to take a card from your deck, didn't you? We did. I picked Puppet Master. But there is one card I think you should have."Yugi said. He opened the little box that was attached to his belt and pulled a card out of it. It was the Change of Heart card. "It's your favorite card, Ryou. Yami and I think you should have it."Yugi sniffled. He stuck the card between Ryou's dead fingers. The little angel displayed on the card smiled.
That night Yugi suffered from nightmares. Again he had to endure the sight of Ryou lying on the floor, covered in blood. Again he saw how the paramedics removed Ryou's shirt, revealed the little hole in his chest and tried to bring him back alive. He saw how they placed two metal discs on Ryou's thin chest and sent thunderbolts through his body. He saw Ryou's body being launched from the ground and slumped down again. Again he could smell the revolting stench coming from the stain that had once been Yami Bakura. And again he could hear the paramedics say Ryou could not be revived any more.
Yugi woke up with a cry. He sat up with a start and looked in the worried face of his Yami. "I saw your dreams."Yami said. "You still feel guitly. It's not your fault." Yugi looked at his hands that were folded in his lap. "It's so hard, Yami."he said. Yami lay a hand on Yugi's shoulder. "I know."he said. "But..." He suddenly stopped. He looked around. His Puzzle had begun to glow. "What is it, Yami?"Yugi asked. Yami frowned. "I feel the power of another Millennium Item."he said. "Somewhere near." Yugi cocked a brow. "Huh? But... Marik is in Egypt, Ishizu too, nobody knows where the Eye is, the Ring is buried with Bakura-Kun... do you think it's Shaadi?"he asked. Yami shook no. "I can feel only one Item. Shaadi has two."he said.
A faint jingle suddenly broke silence. A little golden light appeared in the middle of the room. Yami and Yugi looked at it. The light seemed to grow and suddenly took the shape of the Millennium Ring. "That's the..."Yugi began, but Yami raised his hand. A body began to form around the Ring. It was cast in a golden mist. When the mist vanished they saw it was the angel from the Change of Heart card, but the head wasn't the head of the angel. It was Ryou's. Ryou smiled at the two stunned boys. "Hi, Yugi. Hi, Yami."he said with a hollow voice. Yami and Yugi did not speak, but stared at him rather stupidly. Ryou supressed a giggle in his hand. "Ryou? Is it really you?"Yugi suddenly asked. Ryou nodded. He folded his hands and his wings. "It's me."he said. Yami looked at him with big eyes. "But... I thought you were dead!"he breathlessly said. Ryou smiled sweetly. "I am."he blurted and quickly slapped a hand in front of his mouth. Yugi looked at his small hands. "What is it, Yugi-Kun?"Ryou asked. Yugi raised his head. "It's my fault you're dead."he said. "You saved me, but died instead." Ryou bent over and tapped with his finger on Yugi's cheek. "Don't say nasty things like that, Yugi-Kun."he said. "It was my fault. You are not to be blamed. I hit that man and got shot. It isn't your fault." Yugi's cheek grew warm on the place were Ryou had touched him. Yugi burst out crying. Yami tried to calm him, but did not know what to do. Ryou lay his hand on Yugi's shoulder. It felt like warm water running down Yugi's back. It calmed him. "Don't cry, Yugi."Ryou said. "I'm with my father, mother and sister again. I'm happy now." "Weren't you happy when you were still alive, Ryou?"Yugi shrieked. Ryou smiled sadly. He shook no. "But that's not your fault, Yugi. It was the fault of my Yami. He used me for his own good."he said.
Yami had been thinking. He suddenly raised his head. "Bakura-Kun, do you know what happened to Yami Bakura?"he asked. Ryou looked at the Ring on his chest. "Yes. I'll show you."he answered. His hands formed a circle around the Ring. The pendant began to glow. A golden cloud was formed in front of it and hovered next to Ryou. Yugi and Yami could see something inside the cloud.
It appeared to be a desert. The sand was red and the sky orange. There was one, lonely man pushing a big boulder through the sand. He wore a long, red cloack, a blue skirt, golden bracelets around his wrists and lower-legs and the Millennium Ring. He had a copper skin and white hair. A long scar ran down his right cheek. "Yami Bakura."Yami softly said. "This is how he looked like before he died in Egypt." Yami Bakura set his shoulders under the boulder and managed to shove it a meter farther. Sweat ran down his face and muscular chest. Suddenly he collapsed. The boulder rolled back and crushed his foot. Yami Bakura screamed in pain and held his foot. When he had collected himself again he noticed the boulder had rolled twenty feet back. He winced, went back and began pushing again. His hands were raw and blistered. "That's his punishment."Ryou's voice came. "He has to push that rock over the cliff over there. But as soon as he grows tired the boulder rolls back and he will have to start over again. Most of the time he can evade it, but now it hurt him."
Yami looked at Ryou. Ryou's shadowy side was turned to him, so he could not see the expression on the face of the angel very well. But he did see something glistening in Ryou's eye. "Bakura-Kun... You are sorry for him?"he asked. Ryou looked at him. The cloud vanished. A scream of frustration coming from Yami Bakura as the boulder rolled back again slowly died. Ryou did not answer, but the look on his face said enough. "Bakura- Kun, that Yami tortured you throughout your life! He killed your sister and father! Now he finally gets what he deserves and you feel sorry for him?"Yami incredulously yelled. Yugi quickly slapped a hand in front of Yami's mouth. "It's not part of Bakura's nature to hate people, Yami."he whispered. Yami folded his arms and pouted, thus letting Ryou explode in laughter. Ryou realised there were people asleep and quickly shut up. "Anyway, I have to go now, Yugi and Yami."he said. "I haven't been to everybody yet and the power of the Millennium Ring is limited. I'll have to recharge soon. Goodbye." Yugi suddenly leaped up, swung his arms around Ryou's waist and hugged his chest. Tears streamed down his cheeks. Ryou hugged him warmly. "Yugi, look at your hands."he said. Yugi released Ryou and looked at his hands. They were clean. No blood was on them. "See? It isn't your fault, Yugi."Ryou said. He closed his eyes and smiled. He hugged Yugi again and then went to Yami. Yami did not know what to do. Ryou extended his hand and Yami carefully took it. Warmth spread throughout his arm and chest. It relaxed him. "See you, Yami."Ryou grinned. He released Yami's hand. Yami stood a bit stupidly there, hand still extended. Then he let it fall besides his waist and smiled a bit. Ryou form became vague. "You all took a card from my deck, remember? Thanks to that I will always be with you."he said and then vanished in a cloud of golden mist. The room brcame dark. Yugi lay his head on the pillow and slept in. He did not have any more nightmares after that.
After Ryou's death every time Marik, Yami and Yugi, and Joey dueled they always drew good hands and the right cards. When they were in trouble a little voice told them what to do. Levelheaded Joey and Tristen thought they were just having good luck, but Yugi, Yami, Téa and Marik knew somebody was somehow helping them. They never noticed an angel with white hair looking down at them and smiling.
Done! Finito! Geez, I finally finished my first fic. The last chapter sucks... I've got to clean Ryou's face or he'll faint again when he wakes up.
