No Yugi-oh owning…
Chapter twelve: Meeting of EyesDragging, Yugi noted dully, was NOT a favourite past time for him. It didn't help any that he was smaller then his cargo or that his cargo wore a bit of armour. Stupid armour. It had taken Yugi an eternity to pull the magician girl all the way through the corridors, worse yet he hadn't come across anything in which to help Fang. This was soo not going to be a good day; he already broke his record on injured parties to mend with Fang, but now he had to bring another to the list giving him a grand total of two. Yugi sighed as he pulled the unconscious girl through the halls.
Eventually Yugi finally made it back outside to where Fang would be waiting. He was really looking foreword to seeing his companion again, if just to make sure he was surviving. But as Yugi reached the door to the draw bridge that Fag rested on he felt his heart stop. Fang was gone! Dropping the magicians hand Yui ran to where he had last seen Fang, a few scattered hair and stains of blood remained. Nothing more.
Yugi felt like the world had stopped, he was having trouble breathing trouble believing. "Fang…?" he whispered. "FANG!!" Nothing. "FANG! FANG! FANG!!" Still nothing. Yugi collapsed to the ground; there was no Fang… no Fang. He wasn't there, no Fang, not there, nothing, hurt, alone, not here, not here. No Fang. Yugi's head was going in circles as his eyes started to water. What could have possibly happened to his Fang? It wasn't till a long while, an eternity really that Yugi's brain remembered the magician. Shakily he picked himself off from the spot Fang had lain and made his way over to her. She was still not conscious, but her breathing was normal. It almost looked like she was dreaming. Maybe she was, maybe she was in a deep sleep for she looked so peaceful.
Not knowing how to transport her, but also not willing to stay in this place Yugi bit his lip, picked up one arm and wrapped it around his shoulder. Her legs dragged bit at least the rest of her wasn't. Yugi picked a direction and carried on, feeling broken.

He knew he was close, he could feel it. The challenge that awaited him set his blood to stirring. The Master had chosen him for this, him and no one else. He was surprised at first, it was so rare his Master actually needed him to do anything these days, but now he could once more prove himself to the Master. It was great being allowed to stretch his legs, it was absolutely great! He needed a victim, someone to remove him from his boredom. The next filthy human he saw would be prey to his whim. The last was interrupted by –him- and that just did not bode to well for the dark prince. See, that guy was no one to mess with, if he laughed then you better damn well laugh too or you'd find yourself without a head to laugh with. The dark prince had to give his comrade credit for his ferocity and reputation but then again, the thought just kept nagging at the back of his head, why would the guy save the worthless human's life? It just made no sense, no sense at all! …. Unless he wanted to kill the pitiful human. Yes that had to be it. It had to be!
The dark prince went by the name of darkness, he was known for his ability to kill, to remain unseen in the trees. It was his favourite place to be when outside the castle. He loved them, often he could kill his prey before they even found where he was, what tree, what branch. His balance was the best in all the dark land. But even of reminiscing, he had a job to do. There was no way in the bottomless pits of hell that he would allow the wimp Bakura to best him. So what if Bakura found his prey first, the thing would be in pieces but Yami, Yami wanted to keep his whole.
Jumping from branch to branch but making barely a sound Yami sound found himself situated above a pack of Silver Fangs. They couldn't reach him and even if they cold they wouldn't dare to attack him so it came as a surprise to find the pack looking so…. scared? It was just weird. What could have spooked the leader the pack so? The Silver Fangs were carnivores, hunters, attackers, yet they looked like a bunch of squirrels just biding their time. The thought –did- occur that it could be his prey that did that and the dark one felt his blood boil. Oh, if that were only true! Determined as ever he raced to his prey.

Yugi was at a loss on what to do. He didn't want to go back into the forest, least that pack of Silver Fangs be there but he also couldn't go back to the castle so Yugi had dragged himself and the magician down the stream. If he had a boat the trip would have went a lot faster but, ah well. The girl had stirred twice but hadn't woken. Yugi stopped for a rest. He was dead tired, he cupped some water and drank thirstily before trying to get the magician girl to swollow some too then he leaned against a tree and fell into oblivion. He was so tired, mentally and physically.
Yugi was panting he was out of breath. Finally he could run no more and collapsed to the floor. Soft pattering could be heard in the distance- getting louder. Yugi tried to lift himself off the ground but he was too exhausted. He fell back to the ground. 'patter, patter, patter.' Straining he turned his head. 'patter, patter, patter' Yugi's eyes widened in fear. …he was here. The dark figure wasted no time. As soon as Yugi was in reach it swooped down and hauled him up via his neck. Yugi's feet tangled helplessly as thoughts of just breathing started to go hazy. "Please, irk, please sto-okk. You're ki-ki-killing me! The dark figure smiled at Yugi's pleas. Yugi kicked furiously as it was the only thing he could do, but soon even that seemed too much, then the world went black…
Yugi woke, his heart thumping. That dream! That vision again? Was it time to leave once more, did he stay in the same place too long? Yugi put his hand to his neck, he couldn't let that happen! He had forgotten, forgotten about that vision when he was with Fang. They had faced so much danger together that Yugi had thought he would die a thousand different ways, that that one outcome wouldn't be the one to kill him. He… he didn't want to die. Why was that vision taunting him, why did –he- have to be the one to do it? Fear gripped Yugi unknown, he thought he had put that vision behind him, he thought he had buried it!
Then he heard the sound of something, something was coming. The wind seemed cold, his heart seemed to freeze, but worse of all, he could feel something was coming to get him. Yugi looked at the magician girl, her face was contorted up in… well, he didn't know what but she was no longer peaceful. Getting to his feet Yugi took a few unsteady shaky breaths, then a few more. His belly twisted in knots then he ran.
He ran for fear, not just for life, but for fear. He felt as though his legs were on fire, he would run until he could run no more. He would run till he collapsed on the floor. And he did, he ran as far and as fast as he could, he ran and ran and then became too weary, too tired. He couldn't run any more. Yugi tried to lift himself off the ground but he was too exhausted. He fell back to the ground. He had worn himself right out, pushed himself to the limit. It sounded silly, but he could do nothing less. Then he heard it, the echoes of someone approaching. He heard it and he froze.

He was waiting for the moment when he would finally be able to see his prey, his long awaited foe. His master had cautioned him, told him to be very careful when dealing with his prey but Yami was just too excited. He hadn't been allowed out to play from the castle in so long, being the dark prince was fun but he missed his missions. Now, he got to find and eradicate his foe, bringing the body back to prove his mission complete.
He knew where to find him, knew he was closing in. When he came across the blood stained bridge he could keenly feel some powerful force lingering in the air, when he followed the stream he knew he was so close. And when he felt his prey run, he became alive! The chase began, he knew he couldn't loose his prey, knew it because he had been following the guys aura from the very beginning.
His heart raced with the sensation. Then his prey stopped. Yami took his time to jump from a branch and land not but a few feet away from… a kid? A blasted human child! The dark prince swore vehemently. This, this was what he was chasing! The little … garh! He couldn't explain his frustration. He was hoping to stomp some powerful creature and what he got was an already exhausted little brat! Storming up to the child Yami wasted to more time, this chase had lasted long enough. He grumbled as he effortlessly picked the boy up from around the neck and squeezed. He turned his head away and started to count, waiting for the body to fall limp. "Please, irk, please sto-okk." The boy was struggling, trying to free himself but was unsuccessful.
Yami turned so he was looking at the child, looking at his eyes; he was going to watch in satisfaction as he snuffed the life out of the brat. Unconsciously his grip loosened as he took in the other boy's eyes. Red met purple and the world seemed to freeze around him. Yami was speechless, he felt as if he couldn't move, couldn't breath. "You're ki-ki-killing me!" The moment shattered, Yami blinked and dropped the boy as he went limp, mere seconds before he knew the body would have died.
Not knowing what to do Yami just watched, almost in slow motion as the kid hit the ground, falling lifelessly with no attempt to soften the fall. He watched as the boy just lay there and he realised something. He did not know what to do. He saw something in those eyes. It was there; he knew it was there. Just… something. Never had he felt the need to spare another's life and yet… why? What had he seen in those huge violet eyes? What changed his mind?
True, he could just kill the boy now and be done with it, but then he'd have no answers and he wasn't willing to spend the rest of his life without knowing. That left one option; he had to wake the boy… a boy? That brought about another question, this boy had to be special… right? Why else would he be the one sent to kill him?
Yami had cut off the oxygen flow to the lungs by choking the boy so he set about with refilling them. It had taken a few minutes of Yami arguing with himself whether or not he would really do this. But he was also very impatient so he wanted the quickest route. Looking around to make sure no one was watching the dark prince took in a gasp of air, leaned over, gently opened the boy's mouth and breathed him air. He would never live this down.
Finally the boy awoke, he started to cough like mad but he was breathing- quickly, gasping. Yami waited for him to slow to near normal breathing before grabbing his face and forcing him to look him in the eyes.

Darkness.
Oblivion.
Yugi was spinning, dizzy, weak. He couldn't breath, couldn't see, he was gone… and then light! He was blinded as specks of silver consumed his vision, as he was forced back into life.
Pain.
Yugi rolled onto his knees and started coughing like crazy, wheezing for air. When finally he actually believed he wasn't going to die his head was roughly pulled to the side, his eyes widened as they met ruby, cold, frozen ruby. He gasped in shock and tried to pull away, needed to be away. Those were the eyes of his nightmare.
"Hello little one", a cold voice addressed him, cold and commanding. "Lovely day to be out for a stroll." Yugi was jerked forward. "Lovely day to die?" this time Yugi wasn't jerked foreword but pushed to the side. The figure before him wore an abundance of black, like he wanted to merge with the darkness around him. But it was his eyes; his eyes that scared him the most, they held no room for compassion but had an abundance of superiority. For a second Yugi thought he was going to be pulled up by the neck again, he sighed in relief when he was not.
"Why?"
Yugi had whispered it, his throat horse and voice cracked but he met those horrible eyes of little compassion head on, and he waited.
Draggy: gah, sorry for the once more LONG delay. You know when things get hectic? Not getting into any detail my mom had to go to the hospital a month ago, it was serious pneumonia from smoking, I mean SERIOUS, left lung completely BLACK, she could not BREATH on her own. (guh, don't know why people purposefully kill themselves from the inside out) Anyway, she just recently got out of ICU (Intensive Care) and in a normal ward. She'll be (hopefully) out in 2 to 3 weeks and back at home. (love living in Canada- just walk into the hospital and- ta da! help) Anyway, I had to take over the house, full time cooker, cleaner, grocery shopper etc. Plus school. I'm graduating High school and going to Uni or college (which I should have chosen BY NOW! …on the to do list) I'm just, gah. Anyone going to Mohawk or Guelph??? Well anyway, I FINALLY sat down and wrote something! (go me -)
Hope ya enjoyed, you've all been waiting. Oh! And please leave a review. Even a
