--Yami to Hikari--
-Hikari to Yami-
'Thoughts'(Journal)
Chapter 25- The end has come…(Yugi: There all dead…all of them…gone…
Yami: We will fight to our deaths...to avenge them.
Yugi: but the shadows are angry again…
Yami: There…pressing into our minds…trying to control us.
Yugi: Go away shadows…go…away…)
Yami snatched Yugi and darted out of the way as Conda came crashing down, skidding to a halt on the ground. The pharaoh and hikari landed a good five feet away from the enemy. Yami set Yugi back onto the dark soil, and both whipped to face Conda. The darkened one grinned evilly at the two boys…they did not grin back. In fact, they winced in a pain that Conda knew was caused by. Yugi slowly held a hand up to his had, closing one eye.
-Y-Yami…I can feel them intruding…they won't stop…- Yugi whispered. Yami nodded his head and sent a wave of reassurance and comfort to his hikari.
--Shhh little one…it'll be all right. It's going to be ok-- Actually…Yami had no idea if everything was going to be ok or fine. To be honest…it wasn't. The shadows were on their last two resources to the outside world, and they weren't going to let them die. It was something that barley happened…but when it did…nothing could stop it. It was like when a light falls or dies and the yami goes insane. (DMYY- Not read chapter 9…if you didn't then read it you dumasses!!!) But…now there was no way to stop it…unless the enemy dies or the world is destroyed in the process. The shadows will, inch by inch, flow into the remaining light and dark until…both lose their minds to the shadows…and the shadows, like a human, have a will…a will that can nver break. No matter how strong a light's or dark's soul is…they are born from the shadows and the shadows created them long ago. The shadows are stronger…and their pawns are about to lose their mind.
Yugi pushed the edging in shadows back, and slowly drew his hand back to his side. He flicked his hands out and four small daggers appeared in his hand. Yami did the same thing, but conjured up a sword. Conda smirked. 'The boys are weak…they're falling into the darkness,' he grinned more. 'Soon…they will lose their minds…and at that moment I'll strike. I've already weakened the shadows, they are of no concern to me.' And at that, Conda darted forward to meet the boy's head on. Yugi and Yami darted out of the way, but Conda foresaw it. He darted into the air as well and threw his daggers forward, creating more and more from the shadows, launching them again and again. Yugi held up his daggers to his face and began to hit away each one. But, with the shadows trying to consume him, and already fighting for so long, he was slower on his movements and could not block all. Yami didhelped him, but he to…was being weakened. Suddenly, Yugi's moves faulted and a dagger streaked through his arm. Immediately, his dark saw this and he stopped blocking the daggers coming right toward him to help Yugi. But…that did not happen. A dagger suddenly struck through his leg and he was delayed to help his light. Both dropped to the ground from the air, and tried to keep their movements up. Soon, the daggers stopped short, leaving both look-alikes barley standing. Both bloodied and breathing heavily, they managed to gather up enough energy to stand up in a fighting stance. But now, they were weakened more, and a small crack had appeared in their mind that lead it to the shadow realm. And the shadows saw it. Conda had stopped so that he could conjure up more blades, but he noticed, at that one précis moment, when suddenly both teens winced, and all became silenced. Conda stopped short as the two teens suddenly clutched their head's in pain as the shadows flowed into them. Yugi was the one who felt it first. And soon, through that little crack in their barrier, the shadows took over. Yugi stumbled back and his vision began to blur and turn white. He could see nothing, not even his own dark next to him.
-Y-Yami…- he ground out. He could faintly hear the reply from his other.
--Aibou…I'm…still…here-- Yugi could hear strain in his other's mental voice. Yugi felt his knees buckling as the strain increased on his mind.
-I-I'm scared…m-make it stop…!- Yugi screamed, mainly to himself. Though Yami heard him.
--I-I'm sorry…hikari…-- and that was the last time Yugi heard his other's voice. Yami could barley hear his light though the great pounding throb in his head and he slowly lost control. He was being plunged into the shadows as Yugi was being plunged into light. They were feeding off of them…the shadows were consuming everything the boys had. Memories, life…everything but one tiny thought. The thought that the boys banned from the shadows to take or consume. Their love…for the each other. But memories of their friends and family and everything that has happened to them…was now gone. They had fully destroyed the lights and darks' minds. They were free. Conda waited as the two fell to their knees on the ground. He smirked. Now he could dispose of them and get rid of their interference for good. But, of course, that was not so. The boys were on the ground hissing in pain, their bodies transforming to be fitted for the shadows. Yami's hair and suddenly shimmered into a black color with red streaks running through them and his blonde bangs turning red. Yugi's hair flowed into a shimmering silver with great golden streaks now running through them. Conda's smirk began to falter. Why was their power regenerating and growing? Something was wrong…oh so very wrong. Soon, thetwo assasinsbegan to shake less in pain and their hands left their heads. Both shakily stood up straight and looked down at their hands and bodies. Now, Conda's face was no longer occupied by a smile…but a very very worried frown. The shadows stopped examining their new bodies and looked up at Conda. The man stepped back slightly. The boys' eyes had completely changed. Yugi's were now shimmering silver. And Yami's were and deep red. Much darker then before. The pupils in their eyes gone. They were both grinning at him, fangs glistening in their mouths. Conda stepped back again. He blinked once…and they were gone. The vile one whipped around to try and pick up on this power, but the shadows completely hid them from Conda. All of a sudden, a hand appeared out of nowhere and wrapped it's self around his neck. Digging sharp nails into the soft skin. Conda noticed this immediately and pushed to get away, but another arms snaked its way around his wait, digging their nails in again; keeping him from moving. Conda tried glancing back to see who his capture was, but he was held firmly in place. Suddenly, in front of him, darkness appeared. Forming out a being. Conda's eyes widened and he began to shake. Soon, out of the darkness, appeared Yami. His eyes were narrowed and his grin was widened in amusement. Conda also felt breath on his neck and his capturer move up so he could see his face. He was looking into deep, unfeeling cold silver orbs. He started to squirm to get away again, making the boy chuckle in amusement. He moved up and bared his fangs, puncturing Conda's skin as a warning to stay still. The man stilled. He then turned his eyes back on Yami, who was now walking slowly toward him, his grin widening with each step. He soon came up to be nearly a couple inches from Conda's face. He brought up a cold finger and stroked the man's face, laughing as Conda winced and tried to turn away. Suddenly, Yugi's pressure on holding him decreased and the hand moved away. Conda looked to his side in confusion. He heard the once innocent boy laugh softly.
"Your just to easy…and I'm board…" he felt Yami pass by him and over to his 'light'. Conda then heard Yugi's voice again. "Let's play around with him for a bit…we can see how long he can take torture…" a laugh from the taller one.
"Heh…that sounds fun…hide and seek in the shadows Conda…were it…now you go and hide……" and at that, Yugi pushed his victim away and they disappeared, their laughter echoing around him. Conda gently touched his wound, but then decided he had to get out of here…and fast. He began to run away from the shadows, hoping to find light…but to no avail. Unexpectedly, out of the darkness he heard the teasing voice of the hikari.
"Ready or not Conda…here we come" and that line was followed with laughter. Conda stopped short. He could hear laughter on all sides of himself. He turned to run again, but once he began to run, Yugi suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Now where are we going now eh…" a chuckle. "Yami…I found our prey…" Conda immediately, after hearing Yugi say this, shot off away only to hit another.
"Running so soon…the game has just started…" mocked theloathingvoice of the dark. Conda growled, and drew out a knife and raised it up. Unfortunately, the hikari caught his arm.
"Now now…don't be so hasty…" The boy whispered. Conda growled again and yanked his hand out of Yugi's grasp and shot a ball of dark energy at the teen. Yugi's eyes widened a fraction as the energy blasted him backward. He landed a good five feet away now, on the ground. He sat up, whipping the blood off his face and snarling at the man. The silver-eyed teen's smirk was wiped off his face. Yami was no longer smiling as well. They, actually, both looked down right annoyed now.
"Bastard…" he heard the boy whisper, standing up. Conda smirked, trying to show he wasn't scared of these two. He quickly pulled out some more daggers and immediately launched them at Yugi and Yami, attempting to catch the off guard and kill them quickly. But…that was not so. No two same attacks will destroy them. They disappeared into the shadows just as some daggers whisked past them. Conda stopped throwing them, flipped the dagger so it was facing behind him and drove his arm back. He heard a gasp and saw small droplets of silver blood fall onto the ground. He immediately pulled his arm forward and turned around to see what he had hit. He saw Yugi there, his arm outstretched to grab onto Conda from the back. His arm slowly moved back in and moved up to clutch his left shoulder. The boys face scrunched up in pain as he touched the wound. Yami immediately appeared next to his hikari, a worried expression on his face. The light cracked an eye open and gave a small nod to him that he was all right. Conda stood a good ways away, just incase he made the other teen angry and he laughed at him. He waited for them to stop conversing together and to look up. Eventually, once Yugi took his hand away from his shoulder, they did looked up and damn did they look down right pissed. Yugi's mouth was hitched up in a scowl and Yami's was as well. Both boys' eyes were almost just mere slits and glowing brightly now. Conda raised his arm to launch another attack but suddenly had his movements stopped as Yami's eyes flashed red. His arms were raised in front of him, crossed, but now were like stone. Conda also tried to use his legs and feet, but to no avail. They were, as like his hands, stone. Yugi, as well as Yami, stood up straight. Yugi then closed his eyes, crossed his arms and began muttering a spell. Lines of dark rope sprung out of nowhere and wrapped themselves around Conda, making him drop his dagger onto the sand. He struggled against the rope, but that only made it tighter. He stared down at darks line that surrounded him for a while, but soon looked up to the teens that wrapped him in this thing. They were both glaring at him, eyes still glowing, and ready to kill. They placed their hands together, palm on palm, and drew them above their heads. They both closed their eyes again and slowly moved back to back, their hands still touching. Conda's eyes widened as the boys begin to chant in unison and shadows began to envelop them. Now he struggled more. He knew what was happening, and he had to get away. The man tried to create a dagger from the shadows, but the rope had magic intertwined within it, and he could not. He suddenly heard a small sound come from where Yugi and Yami were and all went silent. He slowly, ever so slowly, looked up. He could see, through the darkness, four eyes. Two deep glowing red ones and two glowingsilver ones. Conda's eyes widened as the darkness disappeared and light came forth, blinding him. The river of light, now intertwined with darkness, came shooting forth toward Conda. He could not doge…he could not defend…he could not move. He was trapped. Pouring over the dessert sand, closer and closer it came…and he screamed. And no one heard him.
Sugoroku looked up at his TV, which was beginning to fuzz and crackle before the picture completely went away. The old man put down his rag that he was cleaning with and went over to his TV. It was only black and white and gray fuzz. He cocked his head to the side.
"Stupid soap opera station…"he muttered, changing it to the news station. There was a woman on the screen, who seemed to be worried and talking rapidly. Something looked to be troubling her, so he turned up the volume to find out.
"Only a few minutes ago this happened. People report that thousands are already dead and it is spreading!" Sugoroku looked more closely at the screen, the women seemed so nervous about something.
'Hmm…kinda sounds like a deadly disease or something…' he thought. He kept on watching.
"No one knows what this is, but it is killing everything in its path. Trees and animals are disappearing and water suddenly evaporates into air. People say that this started in Cairo, Egypt approximally 15 minutes ago. What it was triggered by, no one knows. We go to a video taped there now." The seen changed to, what looked like swirling colors of purple, black and dark blue. Sugoroku suddenly dropped the vase that he was polishing at that time.
'T-That's…oh my god…' he thought. The shadow realm. But there was also light entwined with the shadows, unlike the other times he's seen it. The woman holding the video camera was muttering things to herself.
"I don't know what this thing is…but it got all dark suddenly…and it's…like killing everything… I don't know the fuck is going on…damn oh god…oh my god oh my god. Oh my-!!" And at that, you could hear a scream and the camera died. The news caster came on again.
"This phenomenon it spreading everywhere!! As we speak it has started to destroy the US and is coming here to Japan! Take cover now before it hits! Do not go in the open! Stay inside no matter what you do! Sta-" And at that, Sugoroku turned it off. He was sweating slightly and his eyes were widened.
'How could the shadow realm become so large to be destroying this whole earth…who…' Then his head shot up. 'Yugi and Yami…!'
