"This is talking"
'These are thoughts'
Yugi took a deep breath, remaining calm, as the point of the blade was pressed lightly against his back. He turned to look back, but the blade was moved up beside is face, pressed against his cheek to avoid movement. He looked forward and spoke calmly, but sternly. "What do you want."
Ilia looked at her brother, who was holding the dagger, and frowned. "Did you think this through Mark?" She asked through mind, but didn't get a reply.
"Unless you want to go through a world of hurt, I suggest you agree to a Shadow Game with me right now." Mark answered Yugi's question, pressing the blade against Yugi's face and causing a thin cut to appear. Yugi shut his eyes, but made no other reaction to the pain.
"No." Yugi answered, his voice positive. In his mind he could hear Yujhi trying to negotiate with him, but he ignored it. He placed his hand on the Millennium Puzzle, feeling the cold metal under his hand. "I will not fight you for something that already belongs to me."
"You have no choice..."
Yugi gasped as he felt the dagger cutting deeper into the side of his face, but not too deeply. He winced and shut his eyes, but refused to show further signs of pain. He could feel the warm blood running down the side of his face, but tried not to focus on it.
Mark grinned and gripped onto the Millennium Rod in his had, the dagger side of which was still pressed against Yugi's face. A bright glow erupted from the Millennium symbol as Yugi's eye's shot open in shock. A powerful wave of magic was sent through him from the blade, running through every nerve in his body.
It took him a second to react before he yelled in pain, trying to pull away from the blade. Mark held his head in place with his other hand, though, so Yugi couldn't escape.
"Mark stop!"
"Wha?" Mark looked back at his sister, the magic instantly stopping. He was pulled down suddenly and, with surprise, he realised Yugi had collapsed. He gasped as Yugi began to twitch slightly, backing away. "What the heck is wrong with him?"
"Mark you prat!" Ilia yelled, smacking her brother in the back of the head before kneeling down next to Yugi. "You never use magic like that near someone's face! Do you want to give him permanent brain damage?!"
"Who cares," Mark said lazily, causing Ilia to glare back at him. "He's alive, and that's all that matter... for now anyway."
Ilia frowned at her brother's words. Sure, she knee he wasn't a nice guy, but this was a little over the top. She shook these thoughts from her mind. She wasn't supposed to be concerned for the enemy, it was against what she'd believed in her whole life.
Yugi and Yujhi were the enemy, the keepers of the Millennium Puzzle and therefore, their lives were not to be a concern to them. Still, she couldn't help but feel a sting of guilt and pity at the boys pained expression and raspy breaths. Mark walked up behind her and spoke up.
"Come on, let's get him out of here."
Today Bakura was surprised to see Ryoura hadn't woken up yet. The teen was usually up at the crack of dawn before going in and bugging Bakura until he woke. It usually resulted in a fight or something of the sort, which always ended the same way: Ryoura saying something to get himself, and sometimes Bakura, laughing.
Bakura chuckled slightly in remembrance of some of their fights. They where pathetic, pointless and, really, had no reason to start. Even when Bakura tried to be angry at him, he couldn't. Ryoura was one annoying, yet extremely likable, pest.
But something was wrong today. Ryoura hadn't been in the best of moods going to bed the previous night either, and he refused to talk to Bakura about it. He said it was something personal and secret, which came as a bit of a surprise, as the word 'secret' didn't seem to fit into Ryoura's vocabulary. "Wonder what's on his mind..." Bakura thought to himself as he sat down to breakfast.
It took a further two hours before Ryoura left the room, though it was clear he had been awake for a long while. He walked down the stairs with his head down, seemingly deep in though. "Now THAT'S not like Ryoura..." Bakura thought when he spotted the him. He had been sitting in the living room at the time, looking over the back of the sofa. "Hey Ryoura."
Ryoura seemed to have been tugged out of his thoughts, looking up at Bakura as if surprised we was there. Bakura was a little taken aback by Ryoura's appearance. He had dark marks under his eyes and his eyes where slightly red. "Ryoura are you ok?"
Shaking his head slightly Ryoura smiled reassuringly at his yami. "Ya Pep' I'm fine. Just had a rough night."
"Hmm..." Bakura was still suspicious, and Ryoura could tell. He didn't want to get into detail, so he just walked into the kitchen, leaving Bakura by himself. The former tomb-robber was about to call him when the doorbell rang.
"Pepper! Fetch the door!"
"What does he think I am..." Bakura mumbled as he stood up, walking over to the front door and opening it. There stood a man, only slightly taller then Bakura. He had short, black, limp spiky hair and a pair of black sunglass' hiding his eyes. He was wearing a white t-shirt and light blue denim pants, along with a matching jacket. He looked at Bakura for a second before speaking up. "Ryoura Bakura?"
"No." Bakura answered flatly. He didn't like this guy, yet he didn't know why. "What do you want him for?"
"I need to speak with him." the man said, folding his arms. He smiled and added. "We're old acquaintances."
Bakura narrowed his eyes suspiciously. Ok, he really didn't trust this guy. Still, he wasn't going to figure anything out just glaring at him. "Ryoura, come here." He called, but didn't take his eyes off the man.
Ryoura was sitting in the kitchen looking at the Millennium Ring he had tied around his wrist, running his fingers over the gold material thoughtfully. He was jerked out of his thoughts at his yami's words and looked over towards the door. "Why?"
"Just get over here." He heard Bakura's voice call back, and shrugged. Standing up, he made his way over to the door. "Wonder why he's so tense..." Ryoura thought, reading Bakura's emotions through the Millennium Ring. Though their bodies where separate, the where still connected by the item. "What's up Pepper?" He asked as he reached the hall. The door was slightly closed so he could not see the man outside.
Bakura looked back at him. "Ryoura do you know-"
"Remember me Ryoura?" The door was pushed open and the man stood in the doorway, grinning. Bakura growled at him, but he ignored him. "Long time no see, eh runt?"
Bakura looked at the man with confusion, before looking at Ryoura. He was frozen, eye's wide and face pale. Bakura jumped at wave of emotion that hit him when he checked the link. Ryoura was terrified.
"K-Kage?" Ryoura stuttered. "But how did...? I thought you where-"
"Still in jail?" the man, Kage, finished. He chuckled lightly and smirked. "Just got out kid, the sentance is up."
"But your supposed to be in for life!"
"Pulled a few strings." Kage answered simply. Bakura was beginning to feel a little like a third wheel, but knew better then to leave Ryoura alone with this guy. He walked over and stood beside his hikari, angered at the fear this man was striking in his lighter half. "What do you want.." he hissed, his anger clear.
Kage looked lazily at Bakura and smiled. "A yami eh?"
"How did you know about that..." Ryoura asked. It was very clear, but he was fighting the urge to run away from this man.
Kage chuckled, and raised his hand to his face. "Because I hold the Millennium Eye." He took of his glass' and looked at Ryoura. Sure enough, in place of his right eye, which should have been blue like the other, was the golden Millennium Eye. Ryoura took a step back in surprise, Bakura just raised his guard.
Kage grinned. He was really enjoying himself. "I know as much about the Millennium Item's as you do Ryoura, you should know that from our last meeting, or do you remember it? It doesn't seem like something someone would forget in a hurry." "Bakura..."
Looking back, Bakura was surprised to find Ryoura hiding behind him, his hands on Bakura's shoulders and his face hiden in Bakura's jacket. "Ryoura?"
"Hand over the Ring boy," Kage demanded, hand outstretched. Bakura glared at him and stood his ground. "If you think your coming one step closer to us think again..." Bakura hissed angrily, a soft glow surrounding the Millennium Ring.
Kage chuckled in amusement. "Fine, put up a fight, it only makes things more interesting. And Ryoura?" He turned his attention to the younger teen, but his face was still hidden. "You threw me in the gutter for the past twelve years, and I'm going to make sure you pay for it..."
