Yami Adritha: OK, chapter 3 is here. Read and review, onegai (please)?
P.S.: As you can tell, my hikari is still mad at me, so maybe this chapter will change her mind.
I've said it already. I own nothing! Well, the plot is mine, but nothing else!
Falling Ch. 3
Yami P.O.V.
It's been three years since that day. Since the day my light left me. I swore that Insector Haga, Bandit Keith, and Ushio would pay; and two of them have. Haga was easy; I cornered him and threatened him. His mind is in the Shadow Realm right now, his body in some landfill. Ushio went to Yugi's school, so he too was easy to find. I also cornered him and demanded answers. He challenged me to a fight, in which he lost his life. Keith however, was not so easy. From what I had learned from Haga and Ushio, he never stayed in one hideout longer than a month, just in case people like me started looking for him; but he always stayed inside Domino city limits. I thought that was stupid, but hey, it made searching that mush easier. I had checked all the logical places Keith could have been: the docks, any of the clubs, the dark alleyways, even the high- end part of town, but no luck.
Right now I'm sitting on my favorite rooftop, looking out over Domino City. I had found this spot three days after Yugi's death. It was the roof of an old apartment building not too far from Kaiba Corp. Headquarters. I could climb the fire escape, and no one would no I was there. This was my home for the past three years; I had avoided contact with any of our friends or family since that day (I didn't want to face their critisism of 'I should have protected Yugi!' or 'How could you let this happen!'), and sleeping down in the alleys didn't appeal to me. Today, I sat leaning against the small railing that lined the roof. A light breeze was blowing, and the sun was beginning to set. I looked down onto the street, and was stunned to see a person wearing a red, white, and blue bandanna. It was that bastard.
Quietly, I rushed down the fire escape, determined to get him. I followed him through the city, and to the entrance to the park. The same park where he had fired that fatal shot. I didn't want to enter, it held bad memories for me, but I swore I'd get revenge. I followed him; once we were far enough into the park, I took both of us to the Shadow Realm. He saw me and pulled out his gun, most likely the same gun he used to kill Yugi. He fired at me multiple times, but we were in the Shadow Realm, everything changes. Mirror Force appeared in front of me, redirecting the shots. One hit his leg, causing him to fall. He cursed loudly as I punched him in the face, seized his weapon and pointed it at him. "Why?" I asked, looking into his cold eyes. He laughed, "Why? Because that bastard ruined our lives the first time we met 'em." He then tried to reposses his gun by grabbing it and throwing me back. I was able to recover quickly, and a fight ensused. Monsters were summoned, shots were fires, punches made contact, and blood flew. It seemed like we fought for hours. He had shot away my latest monster, Summoned Skull, shoved me to the ground, stood up and pointed the gun at me "Looks like I'll have to get rid of ya t-" but a loud roar cut him off. A streak of red and black lifted him up, kicking and screaming. It was the Sky Dragon Osiris. A sickening crunch, followed by a small shower of blood told me that Bandit Keith was dead.
The shadows dissipated, leaving no trace of Bandit Keith or our fight. Well, I can't really say that; the injuries I sustained still remained. One of the shots had hit my left arm, I think a few ribs were broken. I had numerous cuts and bruises, and let's not forget how much energy it took to summon those monsters. I stumbled out of the park, and down an alleyway. I wasn't paying attention to where my legs were taking me, all I knew was I had finally got my revenge. 'But now what?' I thought. 'I haven't talked to anyone in years. I doubt they would welcome me with open arms.' My legs stopped in front of a large gated driveway. I looked up at the mansion beyond. Then I lost conciousness.
I had the strangest dream. I saw Yugi ahead, surrounded by light. I tried catch up with him, but he vanished from sight. I fell to my knees, surrounded by darkness. I couldn't bear to be tortured by the loss of my hikari, my love. I didn't want to see the darkness now surrounding me, or feel the loneliness that was beginning to sink in. Then, a pair of bright, white wings folded themselves around me, comforting me. I turned and was surprised to see the Blue Eyes White Dragon. It nudged me with it's long, slender head, as if to say 'Don't worry. I'm here now. Everything will be all right.' I stroked the dragon's smooth head; suddenly, a voice, that sounded very much like Yugi, spoke "Not all light has left you." I leaned my head against the smooth scales of the dragon, tears beginning to form in the corner of my eyes. The Blue Eyes growled softly as I let the tears fall. The dragon then picked me up in it's long arms, spread it's wings, and flew off into the darkness.
Yami Adritha: Ok, I got that far, and now I'm stuck with the second part. I also wanted to see your reactions at a (somewhat) cliffhanger. I'm so evil.
Kristy: YES YOU ARE!
Yami Adri: Wow. I finally got her to talk to me. Hikari, trust me, it gets better. You live in my mind, for crying out loud! You should be able to see what I have planned!
Kristy: …
Yami Adri: Anyway… You know the routine. Once you're done reading, leave a review!
