Chapter 47
Final Farewells
The dawn of the next day dawned like a death sentence to Maiyu as she stood by the window, watching what could possibly be her last sunrise. She inhaled the scent of morning and closed her eyes, fighting back the tears that seemed to be engulfing her far too much lately.
"It's going to be fine." Bakura said softly, watching as she nodded weakly.
"I know, I just hate this……. it's like I'm on death row." She took a breath and wiped away her tears. "And all I can do is wait to die." She lowered her head, her hair hanging down to shield her face. Bakura, not exactly a gifted speaker, wrapped his arms around her, resting his head on her shoulders.
"Were going to be ok."
"I know, and I know I shouldn't be so upset, it's just that, I've had so many people I loved stolen from me. I wouldn't be able to stand loosing another." She turned and gripped onto him and the tears poured onto his bare chest.
Last time I talked to you
You were lonely and out of place
You were looking down on me
Lost out in space
Bakura's gaze turned to the golden sun that was rising, signaling the day of their battle, and he breathed deeply. In truth, he was just as nervous as she was, but he didn't show it. She was the one who needed comfort, not him, he could handle it, as he had until recently, killed his emotions.
"Bakura, I love you." She whispered. "I love you so much." He said nothing in reply, but tightened his grip.
And he knew then, that the only that could rip her away from him was death.
Demi.
said nothing as she laid in Seto's arms, not wanting to ruin the feeling of safety with the hard reality ahead. Instead, she hugged him closer, feeling his warmth as she tried to force the negative thoughts from her mind.
But they refused to abate, preferring to haunt her with thoughts of what she had lost in the past. If they failed, not only would Amaya be dead, but countless other people - the dead could be anyone.
Even herself.
"Seto." She whispered, her green eyes softening. "Do you think we'll make it out of this alive?"
"Sure." He grunted. "I've survived fights like this against the Daggers."
"But still, this is it. The last one." She answered. "Either way, one gang falls."
Laid underneath the stars
Strung out and feeling brave
Watch the riddles glow
Watch them float away
"So why waste your time worrying. You can't change fate, no matter how much you want to." His voice was bitter, and Demi knew that his thoughts were with Mokuba for the moment, and not with her, but she was ok with it. She knew that he was planning on avenging his brother.
"No." She whispered, her own mind being drawn into the past. "You can't." An image of her brother flashed before her eyes, and she pushed it back, locking it in a deep corner of her heart. Right now, she had to be strong, for Amaya, and for her adopted family.
'I just wish I knew what's going to happen.' She thought. 'I hate not knowing…..' She stopped her thoughts there as they were getting far too close to the truth - she was scared.
She held onto Seto, burying her head in his naked chest, smiling a little when his arms came around her. She knew that in his way, he was telling her he loved her. His actions showed what he couldn't bring himself to say.
"I love you too Seto." She whispered. "Just please don't leave me." And through her muffled sobs, she thought him saying that he wouldn't.
Down here in the atmosphere
Garbage and city lights
You gotta save your tired soul
You gotta save our lives
Serenity
paced her floor as she tried to think of what she could do to help, glad for the distraction from the reality of the situation. After about an hour she gave into tears of frustration.
There just wasn't anything that she could do, she was only fourteen after all.
"I hate this." She whispered to the empty room. "I hate being so damn weak and useless." Flopping back down on her bed, she let her fear take over. She was going to loose people she cared about, she knew that, but refused to accept it.
Maiyu's sister, who had been like a sister to herself was gone, her mother and father were gone. The only family she had left was Joey, and if he was gone, then she would truly be alone.
That thought alone sent shivers through her. She had always harbored that fear deep down inside herself that she left to fend for herself once everyone was dead.
'Please.' She thought. 'Please let my brother come back to me ok tomorrow. Please.'
Turn on the radio
To find you on satellite
I'm waiting for the sky to fall
I'm waiting for a sign
All we are is all so far
Yami
watched the sun reach the position of high noon, the feeling of anxiety that had been with him ever since Amaya was taken reaching new heights.
He worried for everyone, but mostly for Amaya, who he knew was probably being treated like shit. While Yami had always kept hostages safe and unharmed, Yami had seen more then one case of Chain hostages coming back victims of rape and abuse.
He prayed that it wasn't the same with Amaya.
You're falling back to me
The star that I can't see
But his heart told him otherwise, and he blamed himself completely.
'Amaya.' He thought. 'Please don't hate me, I wish you knew what really went on, then you'd understand. Either way, I'm getting you out my darling. Just hold on a little longer.' (A/N: # wrinkles up face in disgust # Ok, someone smack me for that one……….)
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
He was stirred form his thoughts by the ringing of his phone and he didn't even need his call waiting to know who it was.
"What do you want Marik." He snarled into the receiver.
"Glad to see you at least know who's calling." He heard a short laugh from the other end. "I just couldn't help but notice that you hadn't called with your surrender. I hope your not planning anything."
"Where's Amaya?"
"Don't worry, she's alive and well, I assure you."
"Let me speak to her." He demanded, and he was sure e could hear Marik sigh on the other end.
"Fine." There was a shuffling on the other end, and then Amaya's voice came over the line.
"Hello."
"Amaya, thank god your safe." He breathed. "Look, is Marik listening." Amaya glanced back to see Marik sitting smugly at his desk.
"No."
"Then listen, were planing on breaking you out, and taking him down at the same time at sunset." He said quickly. "We'll be standing outside the building, try to find a way out, but if you can't, it's ok. Understand?"
"Totally."
"And Amaya, one more thing."
"What?"
"I love you." At those words, her heart surged with an emotion she wasn't quite sure she was comfortable with, after all, he had cheated on her, hadn't he?
"I love you too."
You're falling out of reach
Defying gravity
I know you're out there
Somewhere out there
There was more shuffling on the line, and Marik's voice was back.
"Now ain't that sweet?" He mocked. "A little last farewell before she comes back in a body bag I presume?"
"Go to hell Marik." He growled.
"Just remember, until sunset." The line went dead and Yami cursed before dialing again.
Demi.
Neither Demi nor Seto had hardly moved from their bed all day, preferring just to enjoy each other's company, talking, and making love, and whatever else they pleased.
At the moment, they were silent, just enjoying the sounds of the day, which, Demi noticed as the shrill ringing slashed through the silence, definitely didn't include a cellphone ringing. Seto groaned and reached over, flipping it open.
"What?"
"It's time to get ready." Yami said. "I'm assuming Demi's with you, meet me in the warehouse weapon room in 20 minutes."
"Ok, ok." Seto mumbled, not even saying goodbye before hanging up.
"Let me guess, we have to go." Demi said, and groaned when he nodded. "But I'm all comfy." He just shot her an annoyed look, and her funny attitude slipped away. "I know, I know." She crawled out of bed and was dressed ten minutes later in a pair of tight black leather pants that wouldn't get caught on anything, and a black T-shirt.
"I just can't believe this is actually happening ya know?" She said as she pulled her back into a braid that wouldn't get in the way of her fighting. Seto said nothing for a few moments.
"Come on." He said, checking his watch. "We better go." Demi nodded and followed her boyfriend to the weaponry room in the warehouse where Seto was sure that the other members of the gang wouls be waiting. Sure enough, they were.
The moment Demi stepped in, her eyes flashed with awe at the rows of guns, knives, swords and other assorted weapons.
"Holy shit." She breathed. "And you never told me about this?"
Hope you remember me
When you're homesick and need a change
I miss your purple hair
I miss the way you taste
"We wanted this room to stay in one piece, thanks." Seto grunted, and if Demi would have been a playful mood, she probably would have inflicted some form of bodily harm to him, but she wasn't. She was all business.
"Ok everyone." Yami said. "Take as many weapons as you can carry comfortably on you, as well as bullets." He head up a bullet strap. (You know those things that army guys have that they wear on them) "If you run out, take the weapons of the dead." He turned away, signaling that they were to choose their weapons.
Demi, Seto, Yami and Maiyu choose mostly guns, while Bakura seemed to prefer knives and the like. Once everyone was ready choosing, Yami lead them out the garage filled with Harley motorcycles. She was about to get on hers, when Maiyu tugged her away into a corner.
"I need to talk to you for a minute." She whispered, and Demi could see fear and desperation in her eyes.
"What?"
"I need your backup." She said. "I can't die in this fight, Demi, I can't."
"What are you talking about?" Demi asked, as Maiyu ran a hand over her stomach.
"Demi, I'm pregnant." She said, and Demi had to mask her shock. "That's why I need you. I'm not asking you to die for me, but I am asking you to kill for me." Demi nodded.
"Ok." Yami's voice called them back and Maiyu masked her fear with a look of determination as she got onto her replacement bike seeing as hers had gotten trashed. Demi took a deep breath as she mounted hers, excitement pumping through her veins.
This was it, her chance to prove her self, and she wasn't going to pass it up.
I know you'll come back someday
On a bed of nails awake
I'm praying that you don't burn out
Or fade away
All we are is all so far
Amaya
watched the sun slowly sinking with a feeling of hopefulness and dread combined. There was no doubt that Yami would come for her, of that she was sure, but still, something could go wrong and she could be dead either way.
She closed her eyes against the hunger that was eating at her insides, and all she could do was wait. A few seconds later her eyes snapped open as she heard approaching footsteps, and every limb in her body went cold.
"Get up." Marik barked, and she shakily complied, stepping out the cell as he unlocked it. Cold fear penetrated her body as she was lead to the now familiar office. So Yami hadn't come for her after all. A hollow laugh escaped her lips, but made no sound. Marik smirked. "Maybe he doesn't love you after all, after all, I gave him a chance, and he refused."
"Fuck you." Amaya growled, but her eyes lingered on the glittering knife he held in his hand.
"But it seems that he's ran out of time, and after all, a deal's a deal." He smirked as he approached her, holding the knife so that it was centimeters away from her face. "I guess I'll just have to make an example out of you."
Amaya closed her eyes, refusing to cry in her last moments of life. It was what he wanted, he feed on fear, and she wasn't going to show him it. But inside her, a fury grew. She had relied on him to save her, just as she had relied on him to love her, and both times he had failed.
He hadn't come.
Hadn't come at all.
A/N: Ok, I know, I know, evil cliffie, but hey at least this chapter was pretty long, but the next two should be REALLY long because I have to put the entire final battle in to two chapters, but hey, it can be done, You'll just probably be reading fifteen page chapters !
