Chapter 7: Yami Yugi Part 1
I was devestated when Isis told me that in order to win against Marik she had to either die or be sent to the Shadow Realm. She did assure me that she would be freed, however. But I have so many souls resting on my shoulders. Ryou, Malik, Kaiba, Mokuba, Serenity, Duke, Tristen and Tea were all depending on me.
I had to do it. I had to succeed. I would succeed. I would save everbody.
I left the room that held the bodies of most of my friends and I paused and wondered whether I should confront Marik now or wait. Since it was sunset, I decided to rest that night and get the work done tomorrow, when I was well rested. I slipped silently into my room and fell into my bed. It wasn't long before I drifted into my dreams f both victory and defeat.
The next morning, I dragged myself out of bed and shoved my deck into my pocket. There was no doubt that I would need it if Marik played a Shadow Game.
I stumbled into the hall and wondered why I was being so clumsy that morning. It would be hard to beat Marik like this.
But maybe I didn't have to win. Maybe there would be another way. What ever happen to Ryou?
As I continued to stumble down the corrider, now also in search of Ryou, I heard voices from behind a closed door. I could tell that they did not belong to either Marik or Ryou. I would have recognized their voices. I paused and crept towards the door that was ajar. I peeked through the small opening and saw several of Kaiba's staff members.
"If he never wakes up," one of them asked with a look of concern, "What should we do?"
"What do you mean?" another sneered, "We find better jobs and leave him here. We don't deserve to be bossed around by that creep anymore!"
I knew that I shouldnt eavesdrop and that I needed to find Marik, so I left Kaiba's staff and continued searching. I must have walked all the way across across the blimp before I found Marik.
HIs door was also ajar, as if he wanted to be found. I peered through the crack and saw him sitting on his bed polishing the Millennium Rod. Serenity was not in sight but she must have been close by. I mean where else would she be?
I continued to watch Marik, half hoping that he would see me or hear me or sense my prescence some how that I wouldn't have to figure out how to enter like some hero in a storybook. I watched and waited for a few more minutes and then my heart sank. I couldn't keep waiting forever. Destiny must want me to waltz in gallently like a knight in shining armor. How I detested that thought! Destiny certainly hadn't endeared herself to me.
But what Destiny said goes. I took a deep breath and swung the door open and spoke, "Marik, it is time."
