Chapter 15- Yami Say No......
Yami hurled himself up the last flight of stairs to the roof. *She fell! Ra, she fell! Where did she fall?!* he thought desperately, begging his feet to move fast. His heart thundered almost as loud as the thunderheads outside. *Iie! She can't leave! I- I-...* He burst through the door and out onto the roof and rain hit his bare skin making him instantly cold, but he ignored it. He raced to the edge of the building and looked wildly around.
"ANGEL!" he screamed, his majestic amethyst eyes scanning through the rain to the ground below. But the demonic girl was not to be seen. *Iie! Where is she?!* then his ears caught the barest sound from behind. He whipped around and his eyes widened. Angel lay crumpled on the rooftop a few feet away where she had landed. One of her demon wings looked uncomfortably crunched under her small body which was adorned in her original ebony Amazonian attire. Blood oozed from the place where her wings protruded from her back and her long dark hair lay around her. her face was buried in her arms and her body trembled as if.....as if she were sobbing....
"Angel!" he cried running over to her and dropping to his knees. He longed to just fling his arms around her and hold her in pure relief, but he restrained himself. Something about her trembling and how she had not moved from the position from which she had fallen kept him from touching her.
"Angel?" he asked staring down at her. The rain poured down completely drenching everything but he didn't care. The only thing that mattered to him was the thing that he had taken for granted and abused. The thing that had changed his life forever; Angel....
"Angel?" he repeated. but she did not look up, answer or even move. He knew she had heard him, she just refused to acknowledge that he was there. Yami could almost fell his heart break. she had tried to run away from him...Her body shook harder and he could just barely make out choked sobs out of the clashing clouds and pounding rain.
"Angel," he said taking hold of her arms. "Angel, whats-" But he was cut off by Angel reached back and shoving him away. He flew through the air and right over the edge of the apartment building! by pure luck his hand shot out and snatched the ledge just barely clinging for his life. He desperately tried to grab the ledge with his other hand and pull himself up. But he was slipping, her was going to fall!
"Angel!" he cried desperately. "Angel, help!" But there was no response, the card did not come to his aid. His mind and heart raced and he looked down at the ground fifteen stories below him. Panic gripped him as the rain poured down weakening his grip. *Angel!* his mind screamed. *What did I do? What did I do?! I'm sorry!*
"Angel! Onegai! Help me!" he cried desperately. *She's not coming.....* he thought. *She's not coming, and I'm going to die.....*
"Angel.... he said less loudly his voice dripping with defeat. His fingers finally slipped off the ledge and he fell.... Suddenly his hand was snatched out of nowhere and his fall of death was stopped. Before he could even look up he was hauled up and dropped on the floor of the roof. He lay there for a couple of minutes breathing hard and his mind writhing in confusion. Angel...? His heart thundering in his ears. He then forced himself up and looked around for the female duel card. He found her up against a large brick box that contained the apartment power box, her legs drawn up and her arms wrapped around her knees. She rocked back and forth and had the most sorrowful and frightened look plastered on her face.
"Angel!" he cried running over to her. t had been she who had saved him, there was no one else around....he walked a little more calmly over to her and knelt down. She rocked back and forth her black flecked eyes staring straight ahead and leaked crystal tears. She was muttering something but he couldn't hear. Although he longed to reach out ant touch her, he restrained himself and instead strained to hear what she was saying.
"Angel...." he said. She didn't turn to look at him or even acknowledge that he was there. "Angel, what's wrong?" Even as he said it he knew it sounded stupid asking her that but he couldn't think of anything else to say. The demonic girl squeezed her eyes shut for a moment and more tears streamed down her face. When she reopened them, more black shadow clouded her piercing emeralds.
"Yami say no." she whispered her voice choked with sorrow and pain.
"Nani?" Yami asked confused.
"Yami say no." she repeated. 'Say no'? Said no to what? What did he say no to that hurt her so much?
"I don't understand. Said no to what?
"Yami say no!" she said her voice desperate and almost breaking.
"Yami say no! Yami say no!" she repeated like a person who had been driven out of their mind.
"I don't-" Angel plunged her face into her arms and sobbed, her tiny body trembled. Yami felt his heat being torn apart. Had she gone out of her mind? Had he driven her out of her mind? What did he do?! he tried to think back to all of the times he hat told her 'no', but there were too many and the couldn't think of any of them that would have driven her to this. Without even meaning to, he reached forward and touched her arm.
"Angel-" for the first time she actually acknowledged him. She jerked her head up and whipped it towards him. A couple soaked ebony strand of hair fell over her pale face. her emerald orbs were almost completely black now.
"Yami SAY NO!" she cried pointing at him then thrusting her finger at herself. All at once everything made sense and the sword of guilt stabbed his heart completely shattering it. Horror washed though him. She had heard him! She had heard him that day...the day he said he didn't love her....That was why she had run off, that was why she had been acting strangely, that was why she almost let him die......
"Oh, Angel." he choked out his voice dripping with pain and sorrow. "Oh my gods, simimasen! I'm so sorry!" He suddenly seized her and took her up in his arms. She struggled a hit but he held on.
"I didn't mean it! I didn't mean it!" Yami cried. Angel still struggled as if she didn't want anything to do with him anymore. This shattered him and he became desperate, almost frantic.
"Angel, I didn't mean it! I sweat I didn't mean it!" For a split second she stopped and clung to him, almost as if she believed him....Then suddenly a stronger force began to tear them apart. *Iie!* his mind cried holding onto her with all of his strength.
"Aww...how sweet." Came a disgustingly mean voice. "The almighty Pharaoh, the Game King, has fallen in love with a duel card." Yami jerked his head up to see Yami no Bakura on the other side of the roof sneering down at him. Yami glared at him fiercely.
"Kisama, Bakura!" he spat.
"Oooh, how insulting." the dark spirit mocked. Then a stern authorative look crossed his face. "Devil's Dark Angel, return to me!" He then lifted a card and it glowed a blackened violet. Angel cried out and attempted to hold onto Yami. But the power was too strong and she was ripped right out of his arms.
"Iie!" he cried grabbing for her but she was jerked away too fast. She stopped in front of Yami no Bakura floating in the air poised in her battle pose. His duel disk was open and a card lay on the it glowing. Immediately he realized what card it was. But how did he get it?
"It time to duel, Pharaoh." the flaxen haired spirit said menacingly. Yami stood defiantly and faced Ryou's other. The Sennen Puzzle glowed and the Millennium eyes appeared on his forehead. there was a bright golden flash and he was adorned in a tight black tank top and black pants decorated with chains and spike clamps. His duel disk and card set on his arm.
"Hai, but first give me back my card." he ordered his voice full of venom.
"Your card? Who ever said it was your card? Devil's Dark Angel belongs to me. I plant4ed her in your card set so when you played her she would turn on you and kill you. Because, as you may have discovered, she is not an ordinary card. And for some reason she did not do as ordered." Yami stared in shock and disbelief. In a way it all made sense but he didn't want to believe it.
"Believe it Pharaoh no baka! She belongs to me! And....you may bfind that she's not the only card missing from your deck." Bakura sneered. Yami's eyes widened and he quickly snatche dup his deck and began to search through it, before he even got halfway he already knew.....
"Iie." he said lowly.
"Hai, Pharaoh no baka." The Tomb Raider said triumphantly holding up the Sky Dragon Orsiris.
"Kami no kado`." Yami growled. *But how?* He then looked over at Angel. She bowed her head in guilt and shame. *Iie!*
"That's right, my slave is exceedingly cunning."
"Kisama!"
"Its time to dule Pharaoh!" Bakura repeated. The Sennen Ring glowed vibrantly and the swirling blackness of the Shadow Realm engulfed them. "Yami no Game!"
"Duel!" they both cried. *I will get you back.....my Angel....*
