"W-wait a minute!" Runihura said urgently, holding out his hands defensively. Yami, who was finished with his transformation, glared at Yugi's murderer through his strange serpent-like eyes. His red pupils shimmered angrily while his black irises bore into Runihura's dark soul, sending chills down his spine. Yami blinked in affirmation; he seemed to have lost his ability to speak due to his Nosferatu-like fangs. He held up two fingers (which both had foot long claws protruding from the tips), signaling that Runihura had two minutes to speak before Yami slaughtered him like a pig. "Isn't there something I can do to earn mercy?"
Yami shook his head darkly and placed a hand on his muscular stomach then licked his huge fangs.
"Then can I at least try to save myself?"
Yami growled at him; his answer was no. He held up one finger.
"I'll betray Lord Osiris if you spare me!"
Yami crossed his muscled arms over his massive chest. His blue clothing had turned to red and black and had stretched out considerably to fit his new body without falling to pieces. The Mark of Osiris, an inversed black ankh, had appeared on his back but was covered by his shirt. The red Eye that was on all of the Millennium items glowed fiercely in the middle of his forehead and lit up the darkness like a lantern. He folded his large bat-like wings at his sides and shook his head a little bit to the left and right.
"I…I'll tell you how to revive that boy if you let me go!" Runihura desperately spat.
This one caught Yami's attention. He uncrossed his arms and pulled a magic card from Duel Monsters out of his pocket and threw it at Runihura's feet. Yugi's murderer stared at it for a moment then backed away when it combusted. Yami seized Runihura's wrist, spread his wings wide, and flew right through the crumbling ceiling of the manor the vampires called home. He didn't even flinch when the woodwork scraped his skin and caused a small amount of blackish-red blood to trickle down his milky white skin, but Runihura made discontented growls. Yami shot a dark look at him, signaling for him to be quiet, and sped off toward the museum, where the Ceremony was to be held inside of the Shrine of Osiris.
Minutes later, Yami dropped Runihura a few feet to the cement sidewalk in front of their destination before landing behind him and urging him forward, obviously demanding that he locate the exact entrance to the Shrine. Runihura stood and dusted himself off, then turned and hissed at Yami angrily. Yami hissed back at him, only his was deeper and more intimidating, and they stood there for a full five minutes like that until Yami's patience snapped and he slashed Runihura across the face, which caused him to fall to the ground in a great amount of pain. Yami pointed into the building and harshly kicked Runihura's side until he stood up again and stumbled into the museum after Yami tore down the door and destroyed the alarms with merely a glance.
Runihura stopped walking in the middle of the hallway and looked left and right. A look of bewilderment appeared on the part of his face that wasn't horribly mutilated by Yami's claws. Yami shoved him forward a little; Runihura began walking down the left hall with Yami right behind him. The murderer led the vengeful one down many hallways and through many rooms until the two of them entered the room with the portrait, the very same room where the hellish nightmare began. Yami's heart softened a little at the sight of the room; this was the place he was separated from Yugi.
Yugi. The most innocent boy he had ever met since he lost Ammon. He would have smiled at the thought of Yugi, but he just couldn't remember how. He frowned instead and thought of what he had become and what Yugi would have to say. He'd probably say that Yami didn't need to kill Runihura to ease his pain. He'd say that Yami should accept the loss and try to move on. But if Yugi saw him…the boy would run off in fear of him.
"You've become a monster, just like Marik and Pegasus!" Yami could imagine Yugi saying that. He couldn't even bare the thought of his hikari hating and fearing him, scolding and hating him. That tore his heart to shreds.
And of course there was Ammon. Back in Egypt, neither of them, Yami nor Ammon, had realized that the boy was a wicked god. It had hurt Yami emotionally when he found out and it hurt him even more when he had to kill the boy who was like a son to him. He had taken pity on the god and didn't rid the world of him completely. Instead, he killed Ammon's body and sealed away his soul, hoping the god would never be able to return. Back then, when he lost Ammon, he felt that the world was ending, collapsing on him. Now that he had lost Yugi as well, the world really did end for him.
Yami returned to reality when Runihura snapped his name at him. "Set! Wake up!"
Yami blinked. My name is not Set.
"Whatever! I thought that you might want to know that I've found it."
Open it.
Runihura hesitated. "…I can't. I tried, but the seal won't let me through."
Yami snarled at him. Move then! He shoved Runihura out of the way and approached the wall, quickly scanning the hieroglyphics on the wall. After a few moments of this, Yami barked telepathically, Tell me the name Osiris called me before I sealed you all away.
"It was…Seyumi."
A combination of Set, Yugi, and Yami…he must have known that this day would come. He stood up straight and pushed his shoulders back a bit. Osiris! Open the door. I've returned.
The wall began to bleed. The hieroglyphics faded and a large Eye much like the one on Yami's forehead appeared on the wall then exploded, leaving a large perfectly rounded door in the middle of the wall. Yami growled a little and entered; he had to duck to get in without hitting his head. Runihura followed him silently, wondering what kind of horrors awaited him in the darkness.
