Mou Hitori no Boku: True Darkness
Yugiou became annoyed at Yami's pounding; and in turning, he saw Ryou and Seto. "You two will leave us alone." he said, casting them backwards with a flick of his hand. "You..." he turned to Yami. "Will stop that." His eyes glowed evilly. A blue, glowing wall appeared behind Yami, who suddenly found his arms and legs chained up. The chains pulled him back towards the wall, where he was unable to move. "Yugiou..." Yami said weakly, trying to loosen the chains. "It's me you want to destroy... leave Yugi alone..."
"No..." Yugiou said. "I want you to feel pain before you die; what easier way to do it than to harm your precious aibou?" He narrowed his blood- scarlet eyes to slits before turning back to Yugi. "And you must die too..." He bent over so that his harsh eyes were on a level with Yugi's scared, violet ones. A short, dark dagger appeared in his hand, and he dragged it slowly down Yugi's arm, as his lips brushed mockingly against those of the smaller boy. Yami was frozen by the sight of the rivulets of scarlet blood trickling down Yugi's pale arm. The tip of the dagger traced a sharp line on Yugi's cheek, where drops of blood collected for a moment, before running like tears down his face.
//YUGI!!//
/I'm sorry Yami... I'm just not strong enough.../
Yugiou forcefully claimed Yugi's mouth, pulling the boy towards him with his free arm, while Yami watched, heartbroken. Yugiou positioned the dagger over Yugi's heart, ready to strike...
"BANZAI!" A voice yelled. A gold-tipped arrow shot through Yugiou's forcefield, and glanced the dark spirit's face. Yugiou gave an angry yelp of pain, looking around for his attacker. A girl in yellow stood nearby with her bow raised. "How DARE you do this act in the Fields of Hope!" she shouted, releasing another arrow towards Yugiou. This time, the arrow struck his hand, and he dropped the dagger, and Yugi to the floor. The chains faded from Yami and Yugi, the forcefield disappearing too.
Yugiou looked around angrily at the five people surrounding him, two with swords raised, two with bow and arrow, and one with a dangerously glowing Puzzle about their neck, with a look of pure anger in their eyes.
"This isn't worth it..." he muttered. He vanished into black smoke, and Yami shook a little as the dark presence re-entered him. "Yatta!" the girl smiled happily, lowering her bow. Yami rushed towards where Yugi had collapsed, dizzy from loss of blood.
"Pharaoh, hurry." the girl said. "Bring him to my house, before any Duel Monsters show up, annoying things." Yami scooped Yugi up into his arms, and carried him quickly after the girl.
"You... must be... Yima..." he panted. The yellow-clad girl nodded. "Yes, I'm the Guardian of the Eye Realm. Lucky I saw you before that nasty, evil Yugiou could do anything to Yugi." she said. "You know about that?" Yami asked, checking that Ryou and Seto were following. "Of course, Pharaoh." Yima replied. "I heard from Maiy a while ago. We do speak with each other, you know... All except Yaim-Dyuo... she's the guardian of the Seventh Realm." "The Puzzle Realm?" Yami said quietly.
They soon came upon a small house, like a converted barn. Yima flung the door open, hurrying up a small flight of stairs, and beckoning Yami to follow her. "Come on, you can put him down up here. It's not particularly fancy, but it will do." She pointed to a low bed as Yami reached her. "Anything you need?" she asked. Yami lay Yugi down gently on the bed. "Just some bandages and something to clea these wounds out." he said, brushing golden bangs out of Yugi's face. Yima nodded again. "Of course, Pharaoh. And your friends?" "Whatever they need. I'm going to look after Yugi." Yami said stubbornly. Yaim trotted off, returning minutes later with a roll of bandages and a bowl of warm water, then left Yami to tend to his broken aibou.
"Yugi..." he murmured, wiping blood from the small boy's arm and face. "I'm sorry..." His eyes filled with tears again. "I promised I would look after you, and I failed..." A few salty drops fell onto Yugi's red-stained skin. "I don't know if you can ever forgive me..." He took one of the creamy white bandages, and wound it firmly about Yugi's arm. The water in the bowl was beginning to have a watery scarlet tint. Still crying, he kissed Yugi lightly on his clean cheek.
For several hours, Yami sat in almost silence, awaiting his koi's awakening. Once, Ryou offered to watch Yugi so that Yami could rest, but he flatly refused.
The sky began to grow dark. "Pharaoh..." Yima walked up the stairs. "He has not awakened?" Yami shook his head. "You must take the Challenge." she said. Yami looked up. "Now? Why? Can't it wait?" he asked quickly. Yima shook her head. "No; it must be done NOW. And it must be you." she said. "Why?" Yami hardly had time to ask the question before Yima raised her bow, a glowing arrow held to it, and shot him through the heart.

Pan: NO, she has NOT killed him, before you say anything! It's just a different way of getting into the Challenge, which will be next chapter.
The bit with Yugiou wasn't too bad, was it? I'm intending to develop him a bit more, to make this more interesting. Heh.
