Once again I don't own any part of Yu-Gi-Oh even if i did buy all the episodes and only watched the final 5 episodes.
This fanfic was made intirely in my imagination with the scary and stange influences of my friends, so nothing but the Characters of Yu-Gi-Oh, the Millennium Items and the City are real information so don't ask.
"You can always hide who you are in the light but late at night in the dark the true you will shine." A scroll titled "Secrets" found in the Sahara along with several other texts. The text and language it's written in can be traced to all known languages or peoples. Believed by many to be the language of the lost capital of Atlantis.
I wish I could sit here forever in this field buring blades of grass with you watching over me, …
Chapter 2: Secrets
Bakura and Malik finally able to move hurried over to Ryou and Marik's sides. Marik was standing over Ryou who lay lifeless on the floor, as the beams of light returned to his eyes and the millennium ring laid discarded and torn for its rope on the other side of the hall. Bakura, not understanding what had happened or why that woman would have wanted to take Ryou, knelt down beside him and gently shock him for that was all it usually took to wake him, but Ryou did not stir. Bakura tried again until he was shaking Ryou to hard and Malik and Marik had to pull him away.
"We must get him out of the school." Marik said as he looked at the blink emotionless affection on Ryou's sleeping face. "Malik," Marik said getting his yami's attention "Can you carry Ryou while I go and collect, Yugi and Yami?"
Malik nodded, "But why doesn't Bakura hold him?" Marik pointed back at him and Malik saw the brokenhearted remorseful look on Bakura's face. "Alright, I will carry him, but how do we get out of school?"
"Let me think of that as we get to it." Marik said before taking off for the S building on the other side of school, followed close behind by Malik carrying Ryou and Bakura.
Once they reached the S building, Malik still being a teacher's aid walked into the classroom with the millennium rod and subdued the teacher and students. All but Yami and Yugi were affected. Yami stood up as if ready to challenge Malik when he noticed Ryou lying limp in his arms.
"What's going on?" Yami asked Yugi. Yugi looked at Ryou with a blank expression not sure what to make of it.
"I don't know but I am sure Marik and the others want us to follow them."
"Are you mad?" Yami asked turning to Yugi.
"No, but things have gotten progressively worse." Yugi replied as he packed his things and made his way towards the door. Yami reluctantly followed knowing he would need to keep an eye on Yugi.
Jannon watched from a safe distance in the passenger side of her black sports car as the three children left school, accompanied by their spirits. She had changed back to her regular form a sixteen-year-old girl in a light blue, fancy, sundress with matching shoes and backpack. She found herself intrigued by a torn strap of her dress. Shame, this was my favorite dress. She thought playing with the broken strap as a cat would a string.
She changed her appearance again to Miss Rosemary Bakura and took off behind the boys. Making sure not to lose sight of her newly found 'assistant'. She followed the boys until the entered a small two-story home with the words Bakura Residence printed above the buzzer button. Now my little friend you must awaken soon so we can begin our plans.
Bakura opened the door and almost instantly was greeted by two pair of eyes. He shoved past Ryou's two dogs that followed him into the kitchen. Malik laid Ryou down on the sofa and Yugi covered him with a sheet. The two dogs came charging into the room and ran straight where Ryou lay asleep. Ivory, a beautiful alabaster furred Samoyed from Alaska, was a gift from Ryou uncle. Ebony, a jet-black coated German shepherd from Germany was also a gift from Ryou uncle.
Ivory rubbed her nuzzle lovingly against Ryou's very cold hand and whimpered, while Ebony shoved his muzzle up Ryou's school shirt attempting to wake him.
"Bakura, what's up with Ryou's dogs?" Malik asked since this was only his third time inside of the Bakura residence. Bakura walked out with a tray of soda and picked up the T.V. remote.
"They know Ryou's sick." Bakura answered, placing one hand on Ryou's forehead. Ryou gasped at the contact. "Ryou?" Bakura questioned. Ryou began to mumble something but it was very hard to comprehend because only a few words were in Japanese, it seemed like Ryou was unconsciously switching in-between languages. Marik bent down to hear and what he heard shocked he.
No! I don't want to go back? Don't make me do those horrible things again, I promised mother I would not play with fire anymore! Marik thought to himself leaning down to hear more. I don't understand I did not do this. MOMMY! MOMMIES DON'T DIE! MOMMY, COME BACK! Ryou began to sweat violently and because he was talking they could not give him water and to make things worse he began shaking violently and turning sharply from left to right, then without warning he stopped. And a crimson ring of some kind appeared on his chest.
"Marik you need to tell us what's going on and why that woman attacked Ryou." Bakura said placing a cold compress on Ryou's forehead.
"It would be far too hard to explain without Ryou here to help me but Ryou won't wake up until he is able to get himself in control again." Marik said looking down at his hands.
"What is he taking control from?" Yami asked looking at the pale boy lying on the couch.
"Take control back from himself, his true self along with his true name." Marik answered.
Jannon listened captivated by their foolishness though the hacking of Ryou's mind link. Making sure Bakura could not hear her she contacted Ryou's other self.
Inferno, can you hear me? She asked into the mind channel.
# Who wishes to speak to me? # A voice replied.
I, Jannon, wish to speak with you.
# What do you want? # The voice replied as a scream echoed throughout Ryou's mind.
Can you convince Ryou to join me? I know he would love to if it meant giving him back all of his powers. Giving both of you back your powers.
# I don't believe I can unless… Ryou is willing to say my name. # The voice answered as another scream echoed throughout Ryou's mind. # I am afraid I have to go now Jannon but if you can get Ryou to speak my true name then I will grant you your wish and allow him to join you. #
In disappointment Jannon left the mind link be and waited for her next opportunity to capture Ryou. Not knowing how soon it would come.
Marik attempted to explain what was going on by going back to the beginning, or as close to the beginning as he could get.
"You must understand that Jannon herself is not evil but intends on doing evil things with the help of some very important partners, with those three partners and their combined powers she would be able to control the world or take it over for who ever she is working for." Marik explained. "Jannon is a young girl I knew back when my family lived in Egypt and my father worked for the government. It was my father's job to insure that several items were delivered to different members around the globe. You saw one of the items today." He said drawing a picture of the Moons of Oblivion. "These items are very dangerous but are basically useless to her because she doesn't have the people who have the power to use them. I know she has her item the Immortal Sun Pendent but I am not sure what it does or how to use it."
"All that is great," Bakura said looking at Marik. "But what's it got to do with Ryou?"
"Well you see that crimson ring forming on Ryou's shirt right?" Marik asked looking Bakura. "That ring is closing the mind link between you and Ryou, making it so the Millennium Ring has no power over him and insuring he will have a chance and remember his true name as well as destroy any memories he has of you." Marik said looking away from Bakura, "It will erase his memories of all of us, except what he knows about our powers if he knew anything."
Mailk looked up for the first time, "What was that strange light?"
Marik seemed to look at Ryou then back at Malik, "You would have to wake Ryou up and ask him because I have never seen Ryou use his powers."
Jannon who had been listening through Ryou's mind link again, decided it was time Ryou awaken so he would be conscious when she took him. She guided herself towards the screams that had been echoing throughout the chamber until she came to a stop where another form of Ryou, dressed in a long transparent pleated robe and many accessories including a golden necklace, three golden bracelets on his right arm and two fiery red rings, one on each index finger. His brown eyes seemed darker and more stunning by the black eyeliner present on his pale face that made his white hair and thin-build muscular figure seem even more stunning.
He was without a doubt Inferno. He stood over a younger child, dressed in a blue and white striped shirt and blue jeans, watching him light fire to small blades of grass over and over again by touching them with his fingers then burning himself, which was what was causing him to scream. Jannon walked past Inferno and he watched her but when she tried to reach out for Ryou her hand could not grip him and Inferno smiled.
# You forget…#
Jannon turned around in surprise. What have I forgotten?
Inferno bent down beside the small child and moved his long white hair from his face. # Ryou.# Inferno whispered into Ryou's ear. The small child looked upwith a face full of guilt and grief.
#I know you don't mean to but now it's time for you to wake up and tell your friends the truth about everything. # Ryou looked up at him then away in defiance. # I know you don't want to go but you don't have a choice. The only chance you have it now… to tell them… to tell him the truth.# Ryou nodded and began to fade into the darkness of his surroundings.
Jannon looked inamazment as Inferno began to set fire to the ground and from the ashes of the burned grass blades came hundreds maybe thousands of flowers all of them white with black centers. Inferno picked one and handed it to her. "This will tell you exact moment you get Ryou to call my name.I will allow him to go with you until then." He said for the first time using his true voice. "After all you both are from the same place, you, Ryou, and myself will be all that is necessary to turn the other two." He whispered before jetting Jannon out of Ryou's mind.
Suddenly Ebony and Ivory began barking in the other room, where Ryou's body lay unguarded on the sofa. Bakura and the others had gone into the next room to discuss their plan of attack leaving the dogs to watch after Ryou came running back. They stopped when they saw Ryou sitting on the ground petting his dogs that were licking his face and whimpering.
"You guys missed me that much?" He asked as Ivory began to nibble on his fingers lovingly, he pulled them out of mouth and pet her on the head. While Ebony was biting on Ryou's shoes because Bakura had not taken him for a walk because he did not want to leave Ryou. "Poor, Ebony has not had his evening walk, yet?" He asked as the dog ran past Bakura and retrieved his leash and walking collar. Bakura suddenly attempted a mind link conversation with his other but heard another while attempting to make a connection.
#So, what will you do? #
: Follow what the scrolls said of course. : Ryou responded looking down at dogs then up at his worried friend.
#Just don't forget…#
: The promise I made to mother. I won't.:
: Hi, Bakura.: Rou said once he felt Bakura's presence.
:How do you feel: Bakura asked looking at him from the doorway.
: I am fine.: He said looking back the dogs and away from Bakura.
: Tell me, what promise did you make to your mother:
Ryou stood up at this and sort of stumbled towards him, the crimson ring on his chest had disappeared. "I promised my mother," He said out loud. "That I would not do anything that interfered with the light."
Marik stepped forward and caught Ryou just before he stumbled forward. He acted as if he had not heard anything and helped him back to the sofa. "Don't think they forgot about you either." Ryou whispered once he was sitting on the couch with both of his dogs, Ivory on his left and Ebony on his right. Marik again pretended not to hear him and sat down on the floor and turned on the television.
/Don't just stand their Malik, come and sit down./ Marik said without turning his head.
Soon after Malik was seated the others, including Yugi and Yami followed last by Bakura who sat on the couch next the Ryou.
Around seven that night everyone had fallen asleep on the floor in frount of the television except for Ryou who laid his head on Bakura's chest. I am so sorry.
: What are you sorry for: Bakura asked sleepily through their link.
: I am sorry for lying to you all this time and not being honest about my feelings. :
: What are you talking about:
Ryou looked up at his yami but Bakura's eyes were still closed. He shifted his head then turned his head towards the television.
: I am sorry for worrying you and not telling you the truth. I am so sorry.:
Where Ryou's final words before the crimson ring finished forming on Ryou's chest blocking him from Bakura for what would be the longest, darkest and prehaps last days of his life.
Jannon teleported herself into the house using the Immortal Sun Pendent and shock Ryou awake. Ryou looked at Bakura sadly then kissed the millennium ring lightly before departing with her to another building in Domino City where he would meet with the one in charge of everything.
Goddess: Hoped it was not too random for you.
Ryou: What is wrong with you? Why am I the first to go? Someone stop this woman she's ganna kill me!
Bakura: Okay? Am I gay or do i just care alot about Ryou?
Loki: I don't know lets ask the readers if they want you to be gay or just care about him.
Bakura: Fine we will.
Jannon: Well you know the drill there maybe errors but if you point them out we will try and correct them.
Goddess: Hoped you liked.
