Chapter nine, Back Again?
It had been almost a week since the incident. Yuugi had to be kept away from sharp objects, having taking a liking to them. No one wanted to send him to a treatment center. He wasn't crazy, just severely depressed. I mean, who wanted your other half to be ripped violently from your side? But Yami, Yami was special. Yami was more than his other half; he was Yuugi's lover, his salvation from the demons that plagued his mind. But Yami was gone and the demons were having a blast, luring Yuugi into the depths of his mind, toward insanity. Yuugi whimpered, deeply engrossed in his dream.
"Are you ok, Bakura?" Ryou rested his head against Bakura's heart, listening to the steady beat.
"Not so much, tenshi." Bakura was very pale, like he'd experienced blood loss. Only this was continuous use of Magic. It was draining and incredibly tiring. Malik and Ryou were trying to help their yamis but they refused to let them handle the dangerous Shadow Magic.
"You'll be tainted." They had said.
Malik went upstairs to relieve Jounouchi from his watch. Marik was asleep on the couch, exhausted. Good to have him rest. Marik was extremely jumpy whenever Malik was out of his sight. He had a good reason to be.
Malik's darker half was more a part of him than the others yamis would ever be. Marik was born from his hatred at the time. Marik tried to destroy him but ended up destroying himself. Marik came back, explaining he couldn't be destroyed by darkness because he was darkness. Malik took him in and taught him how to love.
Meanwhile, a lone figure limped across the street in the pouring rain, headed toward home. He was losing blood from lacerations but nothing would get in the way of getting home. A long gash ran from his temple, down his neck, and stopped at his collarbone. White hot knives of pain stabbed him continuously as he limped. He could have collapsed from sheer agony and fatigue but trudged along, determined to get home.
Jounouchi watched his friend toss and turn in his sleep. Everyone was taking turns watching the depressed hikari, to make sure he wouldn't kill himself. Yuugi was never calm, only wallowing in the demons that beckoned to him. A knock interrupted his thoughts.
"Jou, your shift's over. It's my turn." Malik said softly, not wanting to wake Yuugi. Jounouchi nodded and got up. He stretched, having been sitting for so long.
"How is he?" Jounouchi looked at his small friend. He shook his head.
"Not good."
"I see. You go see Kaiba, I'm sure you want to." Jounouchi blushed and left quietly. Malik sat down in the chair Jounouchi previously occupied. Yuugi turned again, whimpering.
No, this wasn't Yuugi. This was a shadow of what Yuugi used to be when he lived with his parents. It was because of them that demons resided so deep in Yuugi's pure soul. His fool parents had spoke lies and broke his spirit. Only with the help of Yami did Yuugi ever recover. But he wasn't here was he?
Malik sighed. The rain pounded on the windows. It had been raining ever since Yami had left. At first it was soft but now it had the power of a hurricane, typhoon, tsunami, and monsoon all in one.
"Where the hell are you, Yami no Yuugi?" Malik asked. Silence reigned, not answering the question. Yuugi's eyes snapped open and he began to shake. His amethyst eyes were no longer bright and no longer radiated light. His eyes were dark and dead, hauntingly so. No one could look directly in his eyes and not feel hopelessness, loss, depression, and pain.
"Yami?" His voice was cracked from lack of use. He looked around, looking for something lost and never coming back. Malik sighed; he hated to be the one to tell him.
"Yami no Yuugi is gone, he's not coming back." Yuugi turn those eyes on to him. Malik couldn't suppress and shudder. The demons were devouring Yuugi inside out.
"He's coming back. He promised he'd never leave me, he promised. He doesn't break promises, he's coming back, I know it. You're lying, he's coming." Malik stared. Yuugi was insane.
"MARIK! BAKURA!" There was a crash and someone swore. Yuugi kept looking around for something that wasn't there. The door opened and the two aforementioned yamis stared.
"What happened?" Marik asked, stepping forward.
"I don't know. Yuugi just woke up and kept going on about Yami no Yuugi coming back." Bakura walked over to the bed and tested Yuugi's pulse. It really was out of whack. Malik restrained Yuugi from biting.
"No one touches me but Yami! Don't touch me! Let me go!" Bakura growled and sent Magic coursing through Yuugi's body. He gasped and his eyes went blank. Yuugi shuddered one last time and went limp. Malik laid him back on the bed and covered him.
"What did you do?" He asked incredulously.
"Put him to sleep. He should be calm next time he wakes up." Malik nodded, understanding that Bakura didn't want to explain. Marik kissed his hikari and the two left the room.
Twenty minute later, Seto came in. Malik stretched and left the room quickly, wanting to get back to Marik. Seto leaned against the wall, preparing for thirty minutes of boredom. Or so he thought.
The doorbell sounded.
Ryou and Bakura went to the door, both wondering who the hell would be visiting now. Bakura opened the door, a sphere of Magic ready to throw if the intruder was unwelcome. Neither expected to see who they saw. Ryou screamed. The person at the door collapsed on the now-wet floor of the Mutou residence. Marik, Malik, and Jounouchi joined the scared Ryou and the unbelieving Bakura.
"Who, what, when, where, why, and how?" Jounouchi asked. He leaned down and helped him stand. He leaned against the wall, breathing deeply. He smiled sheepishly.
"Long time no see, ne?" Bakura's eye twitched. Without warning, Bakura punched him in the stomach. He cried out in pain and fell to the floor again.
"Do you have ANY idea what we've been going through this past week? You leave and think you can just come gallivanting back all smiling? Well, you're wrong!" He coughed up blood violently.
"I guess I deserved that. May I go see Yuugi now?" Marik lifted him up by his shirt.
"Are you going to break his heart again by leaving? Do you have any idea what you've done to him? He's either crying or having nightmares because of you!" Jounouchi decided to join in.
"He's been depressed ever since you left. Do you know what we have to do now? We have to watch him and keep sharp objects away from him. He used to be like this only he thought he was worthless. Now, he's doing this because he wanted to be with you!" Marik dropped him to the floor.
"I know. I could hear his screams and pleas for help from the Shadow Realm."
"He never screamed." Ryou said, still a little wary. Bakura held him protectively.
"Maybe not physically, but mentally, he was yelling for me. He never stopped, never silenced. He didn't even stop when his demons clawed at his throat."
"You're the only one who can help Yuugi so go." Marik and Bakura supported the other. Together, everyone made it to Yuugi's room without incident. Seto was standing in the middle of the room seeming torn.
"Seto?" Jounouchi asked. Seto turned. He embraced his lover.
"I wanted to go see what happened but I couldn't leave. I'd never forgive myself if something happened on my watch."
"Seto… look who's back." He gestured to the person between Bakura and Marik. Seto's eyes turned dark as he opened his mouth to shout.
"Save it Seto, Bakura, Marik and me already had a go at him." Jounouchi said, using incorrect grammar. No one bothered to correct him. Everyone but him backed against the wall. They didn't want to interrupt but none wanted to leave.
With tears in his eyes, he approached the bed where Yuugi lay sleeping.
"Yuugi, wake up." He placed a hand on Yuugi's shoulder. Yuugi's eyes shot open. Those dead eyes landed on the figure at the edge of his bed.
"It's you…" he whispered. Yuugi laughed humorlessly. "I get it, I'm dreaming. This isn't real. When I wake up you'll be gone and I'll be all alone again. Isn't this a wonderfully tricky world we live in?"
A drop of blood slid from a cut on his face, it almost looked like he was crying blood. The drop landed on the sheet, staining it forever. Yuugi was pinned to the bed in an instant.
"It's real, not a dream. I'm back." He nipped at Yuugi's neck and nuzzled him, despite the fact he was soaking wet and bleeding. Yuugi took a good look at him, raised his hand, and slapped him across the face.
"YOU BAKA!" He winced, holding his stinging cheek.
"Aibou…"
"Don't youaibou me, baka. Don't give me that shit. You leave without so much as a warning and come back expecting to be forgiven? You, you, you… BAKAYARO!" Yuugi pushed him off the bed. He landed hard on the floor. Just sitting there, he looked into Yuugi's fiery eyes. Yuugi stood and leaned down to his eye level.
"I'm sorry, Yuugi. I truly am sorry." His pleas of understanding landed on deaf ears. Yuugi slapped him across the face again. He groaned and collapsed.
"That, you baka, was for leaving me." Yuugi said, voice a great deal softer. He looked up hopefully. Yuugi grabbed his collar and forced him to sit up. Yuugi's smile was almost transparent.
"Yuugi…" Before he could say anything else, Yuugi kissed him deeply. Instinctively, he responded. Soon, he, instead of Yuugi, was dominating the kiss. Gods, Yuugi tasted like ambrosia after all the pain!
"And that, Yami, was for coming back." Yuugi said, breathlessly. Yami smiled down at his aibou. Somehow during the kiss, Yami had straddled Yuugi's waist. Yuugi smiled for the first time in the past week.
"We'll just leave now." Ryou said, ushering everyone out. "Show's over, guys. Let them have some privacy."
"What happened?" Yuugi asked, fingering the cut on Yami's face.
"After Anzu and I were consumed by the Shadows we made another deal. We fight to the death. Whoever wins goes back in my body since Anzu has none."
"Why doesn't she have a body?"
"When a person spends too much time in the Shadow Realm you lose your anchor to the Real World. In this case, Anzu lost her body. Anyway, my Duel Monster friends came and protected me since all my Magic was drained."
"Oh Yami…"
"It wasn't that bad. The Shadows knew me so they didn't harm me much. They know their leader. Anzu still put up a fight. These gashes on me are the result of that battle. I can heal myself but it'll take a while."
"First off, you need a bath. You soaked and you're still bleeding." Yami opened his mouth to protest that he was fine but Yuugi attacked his mouth and the protest died in his throat. Yami moaned into the kiss.
"Yuugi…" His Light touched some of his wounds which immediately stopped bleeding. Yami was too preoccupied to notice.
"Come on, let's go get that bath." Yami licked his lips, tasting his hikari's flavor. He tasted like sugared strawberries. Oishi…
"Let's go." Yuugi's eyes sparkled with mischief.
Thirty minutes later, Yami and Yuugi collapsed on the bed, tired but happy. Yami fingered the buttons on Yuugi's shirt, longing to pull it off.
"Love you, aibou."
"Love you too, Yami." Yami stared at Yuugi silently. Outside, the rain had finally stopped, letting the light of the full moon fall on Yuugi. He truly looked like at angel lying there. Yami wanted nothing more than to claim that body for his own. Mentally, he slapped himself sharply. He couldn't do that to Yuugi! But it was so tempting! Why did Yuugi have to be so innocently seductive?
Unbidden, Yami's hand reached out to touch his hikari. At the last second, Yami withdrew quickly.
"I can't do this!" Yami whispered, turning away from Yuugi. His partner looked at him confused. Then it hit him.
"You want me don't you?" Yami froze. "Don't you dare think of lying to me. I'll know." Yami faced his hikari and bowed his head in submission.
"Hai, I do…" Yami replied softly.
"I just don't understand why you would want me. You could have anyone you but you chose me. I've always wondered. Why?" Now that question was easy.
"Because you're my other half. You showed me power through compassion. You shined a light in my dark life. You saved me from insanity. Plus, you're so very, very, pretty. My little hikari, I love you because you're you."
"Well I think you've waited long enough. Everyone is gone, you're eager, and I'm ready and willing. So Yami, will you please make love to me?" Yami smiled softly.
Heavy lime ahead! Don't like don't read!
"Are you sure?" Yami unbuttoned Yuugi's shirt slowly, hoping he'd have enough self-control to back down if he said no.
"Absolutely," Yami kissed his little love with all the passion he was feeling now. Yuugi moaned into the kissed. Sometime during that kiss, both had lost all their clothing. But neither was worrying about that too much as they continued to explore the other's bodies.
Yuugi suddenly flipped their positions and smirked down at a surprised Yami. "My turn," he whispered. Yami shuddered at the hidden promise in his words. Slowly, teasingly, Yuugi began to lay kisses and bites on Yami's neck. When he reached his other's pulse point, he felt the quickened pulse beneath his fingers. He leaned down and licked the pulse. Yami shuddered under Yuugi's ministrations.
"Yuugi… please," Yuugi smiled. He was going to love Yami's begging. It was really something he could get used to. The devious little hikari laid a love bite on his Dark's pulse. Yami's breath hitched. Yuugi had found a weak point.
"More?"
"Nnh… please…" Yuugi catered to his Dark's pleas and moved lower. His questing fingers breathed over his other's arousal, causing him to gasp and arch up. "Yuugi!" The fingers disappeared and instead started touching his thighs, almost touching his need. Tears of frustration pooled in Yami's cerise eyes. Yuugi chuckled and kissed them away.
"Be patient, love." Yuugi continued to torture his Dark, driving him crazy with want.
"Aibou, PLEASE!" Yuugi decided to take pity on the writhing Dark and ground his thin hips against his other. Yami's eyes shot open. And he declared this going far too slowly. So Yami flipped their positions.
"Now that's not fair at all," Yuugi half-heartedly complained. Yami said nothing as he proceeded to dish out his revenge for the torture Yuugi had dealt him. The younger one arched up in pleasure as his yami found a weak point. Yami smiled against his neck. He moved to his aibou's earlobe.
"You're mine." Yami's hot breath caressed his other, making shivers go up and down his spine. "Forever,"
Love to go on but FF bans that sort of thing. I'm already pushing my luck.
The two snuggled up to each other, sated. Yami kissed his aibou once more and nuzzled him. "Ntk nt wi, nDs akhu."
"Aishiteru, kkwy," Yami held his lover in a gentle yet possessive embrace. They stayed like that and soon fell asleep. No troubled dreams greeted them when they slept.
"BiAw,"
Owari
Translations:
Ntk nt wi, nDs akhu – You belong to me, little Light.
Aishiteru, kkwy – I love you, Darkness.
biAw – mine
