Rath- Here's the next chap. Oh, and for the last chap, I know that La Jinn doesn't have 1000 attack points, he has 1800, I accidentally typed the wrong thing. ^_^()

Set- Yes, we figured out so a day or so after posting it.

Rath- Alright, well enjoy this new one.

We no own Yu-gi-oh-

" Okay, here's the last match, Turban-boy. Remember our little bet?" Seito-the-bastard laughed, shuffling the bloody deck.

" Yes, I do remember the terms, now draw so I may correct what you have wronged." Shadi said quickly, in a rush to escape the Shadows. Seito continued to shuffle and began humming some non-sense song that darted around random notes and octaves

.

" Lets play." He laughed. He drew a card then smiled and looked at Shadi. Shadi drew his own and smiled back, flipping his card and laying it down in mid-air.

" A Change of Heart. Almost no monster is powerful enough to resist her magic." He announced triumphantly. His blue eyes stared at Seito awaiting his defeat.

" Almost no monster, is it?" Seito questioned uneasily, looking from the card in his hand to Shadi and back again. He shrugged indifferently and closed his eyes.

" Well, looks like someone will be in the Shadows for the rest of eternity." He said, still staring at the card he held in his ruined hand.

The card caught my eye for a strange reason. I was unsure why, but I could have sworn the frickin' thing was glowing… Lowly, but still glowing. Dammit, I'm going crazy. This pain and the darkness has finally broken my sanity. Wait, something was happening to the blood that was drenching his arm. I stared in horror as it began to disappear, flowing up into the card. I could feel the blood moving up my own skin, and drawing itself from the inside. I bit my lip and clutched my hand closed to my chest. It was like I was trying to keep my blood with me.

" And do you know who that person is, Turban?" Seito looked up and arched an eyebrow. The card began to float above his head and the blood drained from his arm and splashed into the card.

The red substance only floated to it in small particles and drops but then morphed into a violent blade of sharp blood and hit the card with unnaturally strong force, one so strong that I could see the imprints on the back of the card. The color changed into a royal red that consumed the card. Some of the excess blood dripped down and fell into Seito's open mouth. That's it. He was most certainly not loved as a child.

The white of his teeth and red contrasted with the dark around them. The familiar metallic taste filled my mouth even though I knew nothing was present. I gagged on the taste as it became too strong, but Seito seemed to enjoy it enough. Could he feel what I feel? Why did he not cringe at the least when he dug into our flesh? Could the swine even taste the blood and its over-powering flavor? I choked and coughed, trying to cleanse my mouth of the vile substance. Feh. All this discomfort… I will make sure that he will pay, with more than his life… Damn his soul to an eternal hell…

" W-what are you doing? What is this scheme that you are working at? What card is this?" Shadi yelled out. Seito smiled and threw his head back in laughter, the blood that dripped down from his mouth cascaded down his neck, but he did not seem at all bothered by this, unlike Turban-boy and me… Turban-Boy? Dammit, Shadi. Shadi. I refuse to take after an idiot like Seito. Its bad enough I already must call him "Seito" even in the privacy of my thoughts…

" W-what is happening?" He spoke again, backing away slightly as the card began to shake and rip apart. I gasped as it ripped apart into a large stone tablet, with a blast of wind. Covered in blood the six-foot tablet was blank… Seito lifted his hand and his pupils dilated to small pricks, red like the shadows around us, they threatened to consume what was in them. The tablet turned abruptly to unveil a familiar creature.

Roughly carved into the thick stone, a beast that was all too familiar…Obelisk the Tormentor… My card. Not his… He had better stay away from my Blue Eyes… Shadi himself did not seem very happy himself; in fact, he was quaking in his sandals.

" 'Almost no monster,' eh? Guess you were right." Seito snickered to himself. With a blast of painfully hot fire the tablet was consumed and crumbled to ash then began to rebuild themselves to form two legs, a torso, arms and finally the vicious stone head. All still covered with blood… I would no longer have a stomach after this, and I am not one to be disgusted by the gruesome aspects physical of life. The only thing that disgusts me is a. weakness and b.Yu-gi. No comment on either of them.

" No…" Shadi mumbled to himself, gawking at the beast that stood before him. Seito's smile widened across his face.

"Bye, bye, Turban-Boy. Obelisk. ATTACK!!" Seito's eyes grew brighter and the monster's eyes began to shine with the same brilliance. It lifted a mighty fist and let out a yell for a battle cry. I took one last look at Shadi, but though a bit shaky he seemed deadly calm. He turned his head to me and nodded a farewell it seemed to be. The eyes once again displayed pity in them as if I was the one about to be crushed. And the fist came down.

There was no sickening sound of cracking bones when it did it was as if he had simply vanished. "Poof", that's it. Though there was a blast of black dust and wind that remained near the invisible ground of the darkness, probably the mere reminisce of who once was here. He lifted his fist and rested it by his side, slowly disintegrating into nothing as his job was done and he was no longer needed.

Hell, what a fancy way to come into a "shadow" game and out. Seito probably just wanted to show off… Stupid moron. He's insane enough as it already is. And now he's sacrificing blood and other bull to summon a monster that he never even had to summon. He's the type of damned person who needs to make every move flamboyant…

The pain in my arm was slowly subsiding and I let out a breath of relief. Even though I could take pain did not mean that I liked it. He walked over to where the gigantic stone fist had slammed down and he knelt to pick up something. I couldn't quite tell what it was; the dust was getting into my eyes since I was currently on the ground, still hugging my arm.

I sat up and watched as he held two gold trinkets, a golden scale with that stupid eye on it and a golden Ankh. They glinted with the wink of menace as the other similar gold items had done. He clasped his fist around them so that they turned to wisps of golden air that floated serenely and defining against the Shadows. . When he opened his hands again the items disappeared into his hand, sucking into the flesh as if there was a wind tunnel inside.

The pain grew again and I sucked in a sharp breath. That just cancelled out all other "subsiding" of pain that I was earlier speaking of… I suddenly realized the pain was spreading across my chest then crawling across the rest of my body with iron tipped nails. I grew dizzy, the world changing and morphing irregularly. I suddenly felt very tired. I still managed to stand and saw Seito still smiling and looking up with is eyes, closed smiling as the items was absorbed into his body. This was all fun and games for the idiot.

He will get what he deserves. He'd better. He divested me of my precious pride and he will suffer the punishment of my wrath. I collapsed to my knees, but still tried to get up for no apparent reason. I guess I had to, my dignity was already sliced up and I needed to hold on to whatever I had left. Pride may be my downfall one day. I took small, staggering steps to where I could make out the blurry picture of Seito. He doubled then went back to one. I shook the illusion from my head… I needed to lie down, but not now, not here. I will when I'm safe from his insanity. Which will probably take place when hell freezes over.

But my body would not respect what was important to my mind. It continued to fail me, growing weaker and weaker. It could hold me no longer and I fell again, despite the begging of my mind to go on and push its limits. As I fell someone caught me, the touch was gently but firm and left no room for any reposes. The hands suddenly lifted me up by my collar when I was caught off guard by the once docile touch.

"Aw, poor little light! Are we feeling ill?" I would have growled but was too exhausted. I just looked at him, seeing my sad reflection in his now "normal" eyes. Indeed, I looked pathetic. My reflection looked back at me with dead, yet disapproving eyes. It seemed to yell at me for allowing myself to model such weak behavior. Seito giggled to himself for no apparent reason. What a freak. He should never be allowed to wonder why the hell I despise him so. Never.

"Perhaps you should rest, I still need use of your body; I can't go out in this spirit form." He laughed and threw me into the air. It snapped my head forward and I grimaced at the action and the fact that there was nothing I could do about it right now. I saw him jump up to me and he dove right towards me as I fell. Time slowed for a moment as I saw him coming. Then he drove into my chest just as I could feel the pendant forming again. It was as if someone took a blunt mace and rammed it into my chest.

I hit the ground with a hard impact and writhed as he hit the pendant that dug into my skin and flesh. I coughed violently and ripped at the cloth that was over my chest, trying to ease the pain. When it was over I sighed and curled to my side, shutting my eyes tightly. My body soon slowed to a dull yet ever-present ache. I wasn't sure if I could go on like this… But if I couldn't, who would?

Certainly not Mokuba. Seito reminded in my head. He was toying with me. As if the stupid bastard's actions and foolish remarks weren't enough he's now playing mind games with me. But I wonder, why would he bring up Mokuba? Certainly he did want me out of this game, but… He was making me go on, he was always finding the pressure point to push and he always hit the right target to make me want to live on and forfeit my free-will to him. He wanted me to live despite what he's done. But why? Do I not cause trouble to his demon plans to take over the world? So why would he… Then it struck me.

He needed this body. He may have a soul, but he still needs something to put it in. And I doubt the fool would bother taking over someone else's body. Probably not "homely" enough in his words and, well, an inanimate object as a body? Oh, fear the mighty Blender! That'd be the day… I waited patiently for a snide or irritated comment from Seito but nothing came. I smiled my own insane smile, one that I'm sure could put his to the test. After all, I am his "reincarnation."

Well, looks like there's an extra edge to this game now.

Rath- Whew! That was kinda long considering my usual chapter lengths.

Set- Yes, about 2,000 words. We rather enjoyed this chapter didn't we?

Rath- Oh, yes. As for the blender thing, I couldn't help but throw that in. ^_^ Well, thanks for reading. Ja ne.

Set- Later.
