Darkone: Hi, I'm back with another chapter.
Yugi is laughing really hard.
Darkone glares at him.
Darkone: Shut up!
Yami: Well, it IS kind of funny.
Darkone sends a glare in his direction and he shuts up.
Darkone: My mom read my story and started bragging on me all over town. Now I'm on like the bestsellers list in the town.
Yugi laughs harder.
Darkone: You know... I'd really like to see $150 in my hand before you laugh like that at me.
Yugi still hadn't given Darkone her $150, so he stops laughing.
Darkone: I wanna thank Mokubaz-Angel for once again reviewing this story. And I want to also thank one of my friends Lizzie Anice. Here! Have a cookie!
Darkone gives Lizzie Anice and Mokubaz-Angel cookies.
Lizzie: Those aren't macadamias are they? Because I don't like those.
Darkone rolls her eyes.
Darkone: Can you just pick them out?
Lizzie: That's too hard!
Darkone: Well, soft cookie.
Yami: Again, you mean Tough Cookie.
Yugi rolls his eyes like he knows what's going to happen next.
Yugi imitating Darkone and Darkone: Same thing.
Darkone: Hey! That's my line!
Yugi: Well, you use it too much.
Darkone: Do not!
Yugi: Do too.
Darkone: Prove it!
Yugi rewinds all chapters and shows Darkone where she says Same Thing all the time.
Darkone: What can I say? It's a habit. Now here's the fan/songfic. Enjoy!
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: Holding My Last Breath.
Amme was thrown into a room that had little battle notes all over it. Like Seto Kaiba was planning a war.
"Like it?" Seto Kaiba asked. Amme couldn't talk because she was gagged. He crouched down beside her.
"Good. This is the last place you're ever going to see your Yami. We've set a trap in here. Making him easy to kill. And you can't do a thing about it." He said again. He got up and laughed evilly.
"Why would he want to tell me this?" Amme thought.
"Because I wanted to let you know that once I kill Yami I'll take over as Pharaoh!" Seto laughed, just as if he heard Amme thinking.
Amme looked terrified.
"Oh my Ra! He's going to kill Yami!" She thought. She started struggling with the ropes tied around her. But her leg hurt her too much. She had to stop.
"You know, you're a lot like that girl we threw into the Nile. She was so persistent. Always trying to escape and save her partner." Seto said again. That got Amme angry.
"He threw a little girl into the Nile?" She thought. Her anger raged. For a second, her eyes glowed. But that was a form of 'Shadow Magic', so she got herself electrified. She screamed into her gag. Seto laughed another time.
"We would like to help somehow." Someone said.
"You've already helped enough. And we don't want you getting hurt." Yami said.
"Amme used to be our leader." Someone else said.
"She did many things for us by risking her life." Some other person said.
"We want to repay her." Another person said.
"Please let us help." Kira asked. "We can really do a lot."
"Seto Kaiba has a 'Millennium Item'. With it he can control people's minds at his will." Yami said. "It won't be safe for any of you."
"It's not safe for you." Someone said. "He can take over you too."
"I've got a 'Millennium Item', so it can't hurt me. And then I'll make sure he won't get these two. But I can't help all of you." Yami told. "It will be better for you to stay here."
It took some talking, but Yami, Teanna and Honda finally convinced the people not to go with them. Amme sat all tied up. She was in bad pain. The electrocution really hurt a lot.
"Why does it have to be like this?" She thought. "Why can't Kaiba leave well enough alone?"
Amme tried to ignore the pain in her leg, but she couldn't. She felt tired and burned out. Like she was a candle and someone blew her out.
Then she heard the door creak open.
"Expect the worst." She thought. She was right. There was Jien.
"And I thought my luck had run out." Amme thought again.
"You know... we wouldn't have to tie you up if you'd just listen to us and do what we say." Jien said. Amme shut him out.
"Do what you want. I'll just talk to you anyways." Jien said again. "I bet it hurts to get electrocuted like that huh?"
Amme shrugged.
"Then again, your leg might've been hurting so badly, you didn't even feel the shock!" Jien said again. Just thinking about Amme's leg made her ache all over. She moaned.
"Did Lord Seto also forget to mention that along with every 'Shadow Spell' we put on you, it works doubly hard?" Jien asked.
"Great. Another thing to worry about." Amme thought as she rolled her eyes. "I can see I'm never going to get out of this alive... or with my mind." "We're coming Amme." Yami thought as he tried to open the door where they were keeping Amme. Of course, it was locked. "There's someone coming in." Jien thought. He got up.
"See 'ya later Sis!" He said out loud. He got up and left the room through the other door.
"What's he leaving all of a sudden for?" Amme thought. She was really tired.
"Maybe I should sleep for just a little bit..." Part of her thought. Amme closed her eyes.
"No!" Screamed the other part. "If you sleep now, you might not wake up!" Amme's eyes shot open. She could see the door handle wiggling like it was trying to open.
"Great," She thought. "More trouble."
"It won't open." Yami said. "Can we find another way in?"
"Let me try." Honda said. He went up to the door. Then (Like Amme did two chapters ago) he took out the hinges. The door opened like that. They found Amme tied and gagged in a corner of the room.
"Amme!" They all shouted. Amme looked pale and tired, but at least she was alive. They ran over to her and untied her.
"Oh, my Ra, I never want to do that again!" Amme said when they untied her. She kissed Yami.
"You ok?" He asked. Amme nodded.
"I got a little shocked, but that's about it." She answered.
"You're leg! It's cut!" Teanna scorned quietly.
"Oh, I tried to get out and got hurt. That's all that is." Amme told.
"But can you stand?" Honda asked.
"Sort of. But not much." Amme answered.
"She would have been able to if she had just stayed put." A voice said. Everyone knew it was Seto Kaiba.
Teanna helped Amme stand on her good leg.
"What was the point of kidnapping Amme?" Honda asked. "Nothing came out of it."
"On the contrary. My plan is going perfectly." Seto said. "Well, watching Amme getting electrocuted was a perk."
Amme groaned at being reminded that that happened.
"Don't remind me," She said.
"So what do you plan to do next?" Yami asked.
"Well, first, I'd want to trap you, so you couldn't escape." Seto Kaiba answered. He held up his hand and two 'Shadow Monsters' appeared in front of him. They were 'Holding Legs', and 'Holding Arms'. They locked on to Yami's hands and ankles and fastened him to the wall.
"Yami!" Amme said. Honda ran to Yami and tried to get the 'Shadow Monsters' off of him. They wouldn't budge.
"Then I'd want to make you suffer." Seto said again.
"Why? What did he do to you?" Amme asked.
"He's the Pharaoh, and I want that position." Seto answered. That enraged Amme. Her eyes glowed again. But, of course, that was a type of 'Shadow Spell', so she was once again shocked.
This one was more powerful then the last. She once again screamed. Then she slipped off of Teanna's arm and fell to the floor, searching for her breath.
"Amme!" Yami called once again. "Kaiba, what did you do to her?"
"Me? I didn't do anything. She got herself mad and then my 'Shadow Spell' took effect." Seto answered.
"I... really need... need to learn how... how to control... my anger." She coughed.
"Are you alright?" Teanna asked, bending down to check on her friend.
"I... I'm fine. I just... just need to... catch my... catch my breath." Amme coughed again. Then she groaned.
"Why do you take such pleasure in hurting people?" Honda asked. "What did the world do to you to make you so miserable to it?"
"Nothing. I'm just made that way." Seto answered. "Now... the total annihilation of Pharaoh Yami!"
Seto Kaiba summoned his favorite monster. A 'Blue Eyes White Dragon'.
Teanna and Honda stood in front of Yami.
"No you won't. You'll have to get through us first." They said. Kaiba shrugged. His monster prepared to attack them.
"This is excellent! I'll finally get to be Pharaoh after so long!" Seto thought.
Meanwhile, Amme was trying to at least sit up.
"No..." She thought as she closed her eyes. "This can't be happening. They're going to die, and I can't do a thing to stop it. This isn't right. NO!"
She opened her eyes again and they glowed a bright blue color. Then she disappeared from the ground and appeared again next to Yami. She was shocked again for using 'Shadow Magic'. Again, it was more powerful than the last one, but Amme didn't notice it.
"I can't let this happen. Not to him." She thought.
"Hold on tight, and don't move!" She shouted to them. Teanna and Honda grabbed onto Amme and Amme took hold of Yami (because he couldn't move).
Seto Kaiba's 'Blue Eyes White Dragon' attacked.
Amme conjured up the last of her strength and sent the attack right back to the 'Blue Eyes White Dragon'. In the process, she also freed Yami from his holding point.
"What in the world?" Seto Kaiba asked. "Why did she do that? She could die now!"
"Amme, can you hear me?" Yami asked her. Amme was unconscious on the floor. Teanna bent down to check her breathing.
"She's still alive, but barley." She said.
"If I can't kill you, I can still send you to the 'Shadow Realm'!" Seto cried. A vast number of guards surrounded Yami, Teanna, Honda, and the still unconscious Amme. Seto Kaiba showed them his 'Millennium Rod'. It was powering up to strike them down.
THWOK! TWANG! ZOOM! DING! And CRASH! Were the next five sounds heard. The THWOK was the sound of an arrow flying off its bow. The TWANG was the recoil of the bow string. The ZOOM was the arrow flying through the air. The DING was the sound of the arrow coming in contact with the 'Millennium Rod', and the CRASH was the sound of the 'Millennium Rod' falling onto the floor.
Everyone (everyone who was conscious) looked up. The two people in brown cloaks were back! They were right in the doorway. The one who fired the arrow already had another one on the bow and had it aimed at the 'Millennium Rod'. Though you could only see their eyes, they just DARED Seto or anyone else to go pick up the rod.
"There are only two of you. What are you going to do against a whole army of people?" Seto Kaiba asked them.
"Who said THEY didn't have an army?" A voice said. Everyone looked around. There was Deon with an arrow attached to a bow, already aimed at Seto Kaiba. Then, everyone from the meeting scrambled in and aimed arrows at the people surrounding Yami and company.
One of the two in the brown cloaks waved their hand around in the air. Then Yami and company disappeared, taking Deon with them.
Back at the palace, Teanna, Honda, Jonouchi, Deon, and Yami were trying to get Amme to wake up. She was still alive, but not by much.
Finally, she stirred.
"Oh..." She started. "I hurt."
"She's awake!" Teanna proclaimed.
"Amme?" Yami asked. Amme looked at him. Then she smiled really big.
"You're alive!" She sighed. Then her face dropped. "I can't say the same thing for myself."
"What do you mean? You're awake! You can make it." Yami told her. It was more of a command. She shook her head.
((Hold on to me now))
"I can't." She said, her voice breaking. "I can't make it Yami."
((You know I can't stay long))
"No, no you can't die!" Yami said back, his voice also breaking. Teanna, Jonouchi, Deon, Honda, and Serena all left the room. (Someone carried Serena because she still couldn't move)
((All I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid))
Amme groaned and clutched her stomach.
"I don't even remember what I did. I just know I did something." She told him, trying to get the subject off of her dying.
((Can you hear me?))
"I'm not going to let you change the subject Amme. I know you better than that." Yami said. He picked Amme's head up and cradled her in his arms.
((Can you feel me in your arms?))
"Fine. I'm not really afraid to die Yami. At least, not this way." Amme said to Yami.
((Holding my last breath))
"Die what way?" Yami asked.
((Safe inside myself))
"Well, making a difference in the world. If Seto Kaiba had killed you, he would've been able to take over the world. Plus, I wouldn't be able to live without you." Amme answered.
((Are all my thoughts of you))
"You think I can live without you?" Yami asked her again. "And what about these secrets you kept from me? The 'Shadow Spell' Kaiba put on you, and him coming the day before you went back to the 'Cave'. I know about those you know."
((Sweet rapture and lie, it ends here tonight))
"Well, at first, I wasn't going to tell you at all. But then, I was going to tell you after Serena got her sight back. Then this whole thing happened." Amme told.
((I'll miss the winter))
"But why did you keep it from me the first time?" Yami asked another time.
((A world of fragile things))
"I didn't want you to worry about me." Amme answered him. She moaned another time. Yami took in a sharp breath. He hated seeing her like that. Nearly on her death bed.
((Look for me in the white forest hiding in a hollow tree))
"I know you would have." Amme said again.
((I know you hear me))
Yami couldn't hold it back anymore. He cried.
"You're right. I would have." He answered her.
((I can taste it in your tears))
Amme was fading out. It was getting harder to see. She had to squint to focus on Yami.
((Closing your eyes you disappear, you pray your dreams will leave you here))
"This can't be real." Yami thought. "I'm really going to lose her."
((But still you wake and know the truth, no one was there))
"Oh, it's getting harder to breathe." Amme thought. She sucked in a deep breath and would keep it as long as she could. She knew it would be her last.
((Holding my last breath))
"Amme! No, you can't go." Yami pleaded. Amme lifted her arm to him. He was warm, but she was ice cold.
((Safe inside myself, are all my thoughts of you))
Amme let go of her last breath.
((Sweet rapture and lie, it ends here tonight))
"Goodbye Yami, I lo—"
That's the end of this chapter.
Yami: You KILLED Amme? Have you gone mad? What were you smoking when you typed this?
Darkone: I was smoking Pot thank you very much. Uh-oh.
Darkone runs from cops.
Yami starts choking Darkone while she's running.
Yugi starts laughing.
Yugi: Calm down Yami! She already said that she puts Amme in the sequel, so why are you trying to kill her? If you DO kill her, then she can never make Amme come back again.
Yami stops.
Yami: Oh, yeah!
Darkone looks at Yami.
Darkone: The lights are home, but no one's on.
Yugi: And I know you mean that the lights are on but no one's home.
Darkone: That's what I said!
Yami and Yugi: Sure, whatever.
Darkone: I only got two reviews for the last chapter! I need at least three before I tell you how Amme comes back! And I'll even tell you who the two in the brown cloaks are! Because that will be the last chapter! Ok? So review!
