Chapter seven: The heat of the night.
It was now dinnertime, and the yamis were nowhere to be seen...
However, Ryou was now in a better mood because he had managed, with the help of Yugi and Marik, to clean, or more like repair the kitchen to it's normal state, except from the tray which Bakura used for the toast, that was now a black, charcoal mess.
For dinner, was the typical English roast, courtesy of the typical Englishman, Ryou Bakura.
Yugi scoffed the food in his mouth, savouring the delicous taste, Marik just sat there, eyeing one of the peas as if it had some secret plan of world domination.
He stabbed it with his fork, holding it up to the light, untill a drop of gravy went in his eye, which he then threw down the fork and went to get another.
"THAT PEA IS CURSED" He declared, sitting back at the table and presuming to eat the rest of his food, always glancing at the pea for a fews seconds.
Ryou sighed and picked the fork up and took the pea off, which made Marik gasp.
"NO RYOU! IT'S GOT YOU TOO" Marik screached, Ryou walked out into the kitchen and mumbled random words to convince Marik that he has sealed away it's so-called 'curse' with a special chant.
He then strode back to the table and resumed to his meal, Marik smiling about the disappearance of the 'pea of world domination'.
Yugi looked up at the clock,
"Guys, I'm getting kind of worried... It's 7:00 yet we haven't seen the yamis anywhere..."
Marik finished down the last of his meal and leant back"Don't worry Yugi, they'll be fine, they're big boys now."
Yugi rolled his eyes"That's not what I meant, what I meant was, how do we know they're not planning another torture for us"
Ryou finished the last of his food too"He's got a point Marik, we've been tortured three nights in a row now..."
"That's it Ryou" Yugi exclaimed"It's a pattern! The yamis only torture us at night"
Marik smiled"Stop worrying so much! They just want us to THINK that, but they're just pretending."
Ryou shook his head"I still think they're going to torture us... Aren't you worried Marik"
"I, Marik Ishtar, member of the tombkeeper clan, am NEVER worried"
Half an hour later...
Marik gulped"I'm worried..."
Ryou raised his eyebrows"But you're Marik Ishtar, you NEVER get worried"
"Yes, well, that was then, but now I reckon we should go find the yamis"
The trio stood up and crept up the stairs...
Meanwhile, outside in the fire ring...
"Faster you bakas" Yami, or the pharaoh, commanded.
Bakura and Malik were carrying three large logs onto a platform which was surrounded by a ring of firewood.
After they'd successfully managed to heave all three logs ontop of the platform, the two yamis layed against two of the pillars out of nine that formed a ring around the platform.
Yami crossed his arms"You two are so lazy..."
Bakura rolled his eyes"You've only just noticed"
"Shut up." The pharaoh scowled.
Malik sighed"I'm bored"
Yami smirked"Don't worry, it won't be much longer, I can see them in the windows, they're upstairs..."
Bakura gasped.
Oh Ra, if they go in the torture room... they're doomed... Please, don't go in the torure room... please...
Unfortunatly, the hikaris reached the torture room and peered inside,
"There's no one here" Marik exclaimed.
Ryou frowned"That's strange... I wonder where they went..."
Yugi entered the room"They're definatly up to something..."
He took a few steps forward untill...
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH"
Yugi fell down a trap hole.
"I'm comin' Yug'"
Marik ran in the room and jumped down the trap hole.
Ryou walked into the room nervously and stared down at the hole,
"I never was the brave person... oh well, I've got to go find Marik and Yugi"
He jumped down the hole...
Eventually, the hikaris came to a clearing of what looked like a forest.
Ryou opened his eyes and smiled"I landed on something soft..."
"That was me" Ryou turned to the young Egyptian, Yugi suffocating underneath him.
"Get up Marik" Ryou said, pulling Marik up, allowing Yugi to breath.
"So that's the soft thing I landed on" Marik exclaimed"Sorry 'bout that Yug'."
Marik held out his hand, Yugi opened his eyes, his large purple orbs meeting the outstretched hand, he sat up and took hold of the hand and stood up.
"Where are we" Yugi asked, gazing at their surroundings.
Ryou looked round till he spotted a ring of pillars round a platform"Hey, what's that..."
"Don't Ryou" Marik called"You don't know what you're doing, RYOU"
He ran after Ryou, Yugi watched them"I suppose I have no choice but to follow them... HEY! WAIT FOR ME"
He ran up to the pair who were standing inside the ring of pillars infront of the platform.
"Something tells me I've got us into trouble again..." Ryou gulped.
Marik started to panik"Then let's get ourselves out of trouble and leave this place"
Yugi nodded"Yeah, this place is making the shadow realm look safe..."
The trio turned round when the middle of each pillar burst into flames...
"Great scott! How on earth did those flames appear" Ryou gasped.
"Shadow powers..." Marik mumbled, squinting his eyes for a clearer view.
"OOGA BOOGA"
A what looked like, person, wearing a bizzare mask was doing some odd dance towards them, Yugi suddenly noticed what was on the platform.
"M-Marik... I think this guy's going to burn us"
"What makes you say that Yug'"
"Well, one: There are three large logs standing upright which someone could chain us up to, two: It looks like there is firewood surrounding the logs, and three: This guy seems the pyro type."
"Bakura" Ryou said"No one likes flames more than he does"
Marik nodded"The yamis have got us again..."
Yugi sighed"This is going to be one LONG night..."
Ryou gulped"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I got us into trouble again"
"Way to go Ryou! Now we are going to be burnt alive." Marik rolled his eyes.
Yugi shuffled uneasily"Don't look now guys... Yami's arrived..."
Yugi was right, for a person headed towards them, followed by another dancing lunatic.
The other lunatic joined it's friend, or in other words, the hikaris could easily tell by the colour of each yami's hair, that the first lunatic was Bakura, and the second one who had walked, or danced behind Yami was Malik.
All of the yamis were topless, Yami had a cloak and they wore only a white cloth around their waists, plus a mask each too.
The yamis all took off their masks, and, without them, they looked like normal Egyptians, exept one is the pharaoh, another a assain and last but not least, one is a tombrobber.
"Hello hikaris..." Yami smirked, he sat down on a golden throne. "I see you've stumbled into our flame ring, I'm guessing you already know your fate here"
Marik frowned"Um... could you translate that please"
"What I mean is 'do you know what's going to happen to you here" Yami replied harshly.
Marik rolled his eyes"Well duh! You're going to set us alight like human-sized matchsticks"
Yami nodded"Correct! Now as your prize, you can test out this torture"
"Oh thank you ever so much! I LOVE our prize" Marik cooed sarcasticly.
Yami clicked his fingers"Get them."
Bakura froze.
I can't believe I have to do this to Ryou... but orders are orders...
"Well what are you waiting for" Yami boomed"GET THEM"
"Y-Yes sir" Bakura stuttered, grabbing Ryou and holding his arms behind his back, Ryou winced in pain"Bakura! Why are you doing this"
"Pharaoh's orders."
"I thought you never took commands from the pharaoh"
"You wouldn't understand."
"Why not"
"Because Ryou."
"Because what"
"Just because"
"Stop the torture"
"No."
"Bakura! What is going on! Why won't you help me"
"I can't."
"But why"
"Yami said he'll kill me and Malik if I save you lot."
"Actually, I've decided just to kill you tombrobber."
Bakura turned round"Baka..."
"Oh I wouldn't speak to like that to me, not if I were a low life baka like you, you disgust me tombrobber, why if only you had stayed in the shadow realm, then maybe Malik and I would stand a better chance at world domination."
He let go of Ryou"Maybe you"
"Not yet tombrobber, I want to watch your hikari burn along with the other two. Now, hurry up and chain them to the logs, oh yes, take off their shirts, jumpers etc."
"What difference is that gonna' make" Bakura snapped.
"It was an ancient tradition my father taught me, if someone was wearing any upper clothing, it had to be removed so that they were left with only lower clothing, it showed that they were sinners and didn't deserve to live, it's just a shame we didn't have another log, we could have burned you aswell." Yami replied with a smirk"Anyway, carry on. I want to see them burn."
Bakura looked at Ryou.
"I'm sorry..."
Ryou nodded and took off his jumper, followed by his shirt and handed them to Bakura, all that was left was his millenium ring hanging from his neck.
Yami began to think"Take their shoes aswell, they need bare feet."
Bakura nodded and Ryou handed over his shoes.
Bakura then led him over to one of the logs and chained him up.
"Hand over the shirt Marik."
"No."
"Why not"
"Because you'll take it"
"No I won't."
"Promise."
"I promise, oh, and your shoes too."
"Fine."
Marik handed over his shirt and shoes and was also chained up to a log.
Yami looked around"Where's Yugi"
Malik shrugged his shoulders"I-hang on..."
Malik stared at the last log, two black and pink spikes were poking out from the sides.
He grinned and backed up to the log before peering round, Yugi smiled weakly and waved. "H-Hi Malik! I never expected to see you here, wonderful weather isn't it"
Malik nodded"Yes it is! What's your"
"JUST CHAIN HIM TO THE LOG ALREADY" Yami boomed, Yugi jumped up startled"Is this my queue to run"
Yugi got out from behind the log and began to run away, only, there was a fire ring around the platform, so he ended up having to run in circles.
Yami stood up"GET HIM BAKAS"
Malik and Bakura looked at each other before chasing Yugi round the circle.
"RUN SHORTY RUN" Marik cried.
Yugi frowned"I'M NOT THAT SHORT! BUT I'LL TAKE YOUR ADVICE ANYWAY"
After a few minutes, Yugi had still not been caught, Bakura and Malik were on the floor panting and wheezing.
Yami had had enough.
He sighed and stuck his foot out as Yugi passed, causing him to trip and fall on the floor, he then got up and grabbed Yugi by the back of his shirt, the young boy dangling infront of him.
"WAHOO! I CAN FL-Oh, it's just you... I mean hi Yami!
Yami put him down and took off Yugi's shirt and shoes, then put them to the side and carried him under his arm over to the final log.
Yugi thrashed about wildy"I am the mini pharaoh I command you to put me godamn down"
"Ok."
Yami dropped Yugi straight onto the floor and picked him back up by his arm.
"Now then, you be a good little boy and stand there with your friends attached to the logs whilst we get ready to burn you."
"Ok Wami."
"Yami."
"Wami."
"Yami."
"Wa"
"I do not have time for this. Tombrobber, get the torch, Assain, get the oil."
Ryou frowned"I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE"
Bakura rolled his eyes"I said that and look where it got me."
"Ryou, save your screaming for later." Marik suggested.
"But..." Ryou started, then looked down at the fire wood being placed at their feet.
Yugi began to wriggle about and eventually gave up on that idea, so he started to sing"I want to break free! I want to break free! La la la la la, YEAH I WANT TO BREAK FREE"
"Oh for the love of Ra SHUT UP" Bakura moaned, covering his ears.
Malik grinned"How about this song? Burn, baby, burn... disco furno"
"That's my song" Bakura shouted, before joining in with the song.
Yami frowned"We didn't come here to sing! Now hurry up and burn them"
"Yes sir" Malik and Bakura chourused.
Malik began to pour the oil over the firewood and Bakura took out a torch, then lit it.
Yami sighed"Finally! We're going to torture them"
Bakura stood there with the torch, the flame slowly burning.
"Well" Yami spat"What are you waiting for! Light the firewood already"
Bakura looked at him, then to the struggling hikaris on the platform.
Yami watched him"Tombrobber, get on with it already."
Bakura stayed rooted to the spot"But I don't want to burn them..."
Yami rolled his eyes and strode over to him"JUST DO IT ALREADY"
Bakura shook his head"No..."
Yami just took the torch off of him"Fine, I'll do it myself."
He walked up to the platform and knelt down, allowing the fire to spread in different directions, he then, instead of just leaving the torch to burn with the other wood, picked it back up and turned to the tombrobber.
"You've been causing me and my people trouble for too long tombrobber, now is the time to do the thing I should have done centuries ago..."
Yami paced towards Bakura, grasping the torch in both hands, Bakura backed up till his back was against a pillar. Yami raised the torch.
"TOMBROBBER! PREPARE TO MEET YOUR DOOM"
Marik looked around him, Yugi screaming in pain, Ryou just standing in concusion.
He continued to fiddle around with the chains, he then, with a bit of luck, managed to use the blade of the millenium rod to snap the chains, and as he tried to get to Yugi however, he had forgotten that he was standing on flames.
"OH RA IT BURNS" He screached, hopping on one foot then the other, he then managed to free Yugi and pick him up.
As Marik was hopping over to him, Ryou stirred from his concusion and turned to Marik, who was carrying Yugi under his arm.
Despite the fact he was being burnt to a crisp, something else caught Ryou's attention, someone was screaming on the other side of the flames!
As soon as Marik had freed him, he ran across the flames and stared in horror as Yami blew out the torch, Bakura on the floor, large burns on his body.
Marik and Yugi got over the flames and sat beside Ryou, who was searching for a sign of life in his yami.
Yugi stood up infront of Yami,
"YOU'RE NOT YAMI" He cried.
Yami looked down at him"Oh yes I am..."
Yugi shuddered at Yami's voice, it sent chills down his spine.
"You can't be Yami"
"Yes I can..."
"Yami doesn't have those eyes"
"He does now..."
"He doesn't have that voice either"
"You're catching on little one"
"GET OUT OF YAMI'S BODY"
Yugi began to throw punches at 'Yami', Yami then tripped him up and picked him up by the front of his neck.
"Heh, you're pretty persistant are'nt you"
"LEAVE YAMI ALONE"
"It's your fault I'm here though..."
"What"
"Don't you realise little Yugi? He may not have shown it to you these days, but Yami DOES care about you, it's just that he didn't show it..."
"That's where I come in, after that argument you and him had, Yami lost the will to go on, so he locked himself in his soulroom. He thought you'd have a better life if he weren't around, so I, his dark side, came forth, so now I take full control over his body. I suppose I've done Yami a favour already..."
"What do you mean"
"Well I've just about grilled the tombrobber to death... and it won't be long till I can get the assain, followed by his hikari, then the other one, but first, I think I'll strangle you."
Yami's evil side began to tighten his grip, Yugi thrashed about, hoping Yami's evil side would let go of him, but, no luck, his grip only tightened, and Yugi was rapidly losing breath.
Ryou took one look at his yami, then glared up at Yami's evil side, he picked up the torch (which was now burnt out) and stood up"This one's for Bakura" He slammed the torch round the back of the evil Yami's head.
The evil Yami dropped Yugi and fell on the floor.
Ryou dropped the torch and put his hands on hips"There, that wasn't so hard."
Yugi, Marik and Malik stared at him, their mouths an O shape.
"Woah... Ryou, since when did you fight" Marik exclaimed.
Ryou smiled"I haven't fought anyone before..."
This just made Marik more confused.
Yugi sighed peacefully"I'm sleepy..."
He let out a yawn and collapsed in Marik's arms.
Malik frowned"Maybe we should all go back in the house..."
Marik and Ryou nodded.
"Hey, where is my lovely purple top" Marik asked,l ooking around him
Malik rolled his eyes and walked over to a pile of clothes, he gave them to Ryou and Marik.
Ryou then picked Bakura up bridal style and layed his clothes on top of his yami.
Marik scooped the sleeping tri-coloured boy under his arm and held his and Yugi's clothes under the other.
Meanwhile, Malik was trying to keep Yami on his shoulder without letting him slip off.
Ryou grinned"Well at least it's not raining"
Suddenly there was a roar of thunder and the fire ring was washed away by the rainfall...
"RYOU"
