All by the Moment

Chapter V

Looking for the Right One


Instead of seeing an angry teacher in the middle of his disrupted lecture, Yugi and Yami found an enormous black abyss that was covering the door way. Here were no desks, no students, nothing! The spirit continually murmured to himself as he constantly studied the void.

Yugi stared at the 'thing' before him. "Yami... what is this? A black hole?", he asked his motionless half.Yami stopped abruptly when he heard Yugi's question. He thought awhile before answering Yugi's question.

"I guess you can say that this might be like a black hole, Yugi… But it's really a portal of some sort. The person who could've done this must possess an incredibly large amount of power and will", he said, turning towards his violet-eyed hikari.

"Amount… of will?"

Yami nodded. "Yes. Will. The heart plays a strong part in the creation of spells. The magic that should have taken place will not appear if the spell-caster's heart is not strong enough to make the enchantment.

With the strong heart you need very potent emotions. Spell-casters must focus on one very powerful emotion. In this case, Kitana used his hatred for me as his source", he paused,

"It will also take the same amount of emotion to get rid of this portal…"

"So…, this is the portal we need to reach the others?", asked Yugi as he continued to stare at what was suppose to be a classroom. "I don't know… I guess…but we still need to know what the others found. If their search is negative, then it would definitely be this one…"

"Well then, what are we waiting for? Let's look for more!"

Yami sighed and smiled at his enthusiastic light. Both of them walked along the corridors opening the suspicious looking classrooms, which happened to be just every other room, with Yugi doing opening and Yami doing the apologizing to the irritated teachers they had bothered.


In Bakura and Ryou's Building


"Another… and another… and another…"

Unlike Yami and Yugi, their luck in finding those giant black holes was by far better. So far, every room they've entered had one. So, how many? They weren't finish yet, but so far they've found eight. Oh well… seven more to go!

"Bakura, are we finished? ", asked a very weary Ryou. It was almost noon, which meant they've been there searching for at least half an hour.

"Not yet. I know our search seems fruitful but I'd say otherwise. None of these portals contain what we need to confirm that they are authentic. Without that proof, I'm positive that these are merely illusions put up by Yami's brother…"

"Oh".

"Oh?", Bakura said, mimicking Ryou.

"Stop that!".

The snow-haired albino glared at his darker half. He had to admit, it was funny, but it just wasn't fun if the joke was on him. Fortunately, Bakura had decided to drop it. Instead, to Ryou's demise, Bakura dragged his hikari along with him as they continued to look for Bakura's IT. (and I don't mean his God-knows-what).

I guess these two weren't meant to be lucky. Just after they had opened their thirteenth door, the mob of teachers, administrators and personnel had found them yet again. "There they are! Get him!"

"AAAAAAAAAAHH!"


Marik and Malik's Own Little World


"Marik… Why are we still here?"

Marik was sitting down at the far end of the table in the library. The tan blonde had no idea how or why they went inside but Marik insisted in going. Said something about some 'presence'…

"Did you know that some guy named Hitler almost took over the world? I can't believe it! That's my job!", Marik said as he pointed at a picture of the German commander. After showing it to Malik, he continued to read the book with full interest.

"Marik! We're not here to read books, we're here to look for some portal thingy!"

"Just give me ten minutes to finish this chapter…!"

"Hey, you mean to tell me we're here because you found some book about World Domination?", Malik said angrily, a vein popping out of his head.

"Not really. It's more on all the evil guys that lived….----"

He hit Marik hard on the head, causing the blonde yami to pass out. He dragged him out, causing the old librarian to stare in pure shock as she watched the two teenagers walk out the room.


Author's Rambles


We got the 'will' part from Rayearth (Clef mentioned this while he was talking about Princess Emeraude P) and the strong emotion thingy from Harry Potter (please refer to book 3 aka 'Prisoner from Azkaban'). I'm sorry if I didn't show everyone else. They'll come soon! I promise!

Thanks a lot to all my reviewers! Because I didn't want to disappoint them, I forced myself to write. I love you guys!

It took me a lot of persuading and a lot more time to finally update this fic. I really do hope I did well. I'm saying sorry to all my reviewers. Please read and review!

Ja!
