Love Can Have a Blind Eye
Chapter 8

Diamond slowly woke up and found that she wasn't back in Bakura and Crimson's room. Or the palace for that matter. 'Where are we?' she thought as she got up. She looked around and spotted the others lying on the floor, either sleeping or knocked unconscious. 'How did we get here?' she wondered once more and looked up when she heard a door open. Diamond growled though when she saw who appeared in the doorway. "Aww, is Diamond not happy to see me?" Anzu asked in a sugar-coated voice. "No, who would want to see your ugly face?" Diamond retorted and she sneered. "Well, who cares about what you think? Soon, you and your pathetic friends will be out of my life and Yami and Aqua will be all mine." Anzu said.
She growled even louder. "And what makes you think that's possible? They already hate you enough and I know they despise you for showing up in the Shadow Kingdom in the first place when you wasn't invited." Diamond said. "Who cares. We're not even in the Shadow Kingdom anymore. We're in the Sky Palace where Pegasus rules and soon, you and the others won't be no more once Yugi and Aqua is brought up here for your safety." Anzu said laughing.
"Don't count on it! I know our new friends will come and help." Diamond snapped and Anzu huffed before leaving. "Whether they help you or not, soon they will be too late because Yami and Aqua will be immobilized in love by me and the first thing I will have one of them do is to devour Yugi as I hate him the most out of all of you. Maybe I'll come back to let you witness such a demise." Anzu cooed before she shut the iron door once more, leaving Diamond in the dim lighted room. 'I don't know how she's planning to do it but please, Doruke, hurry and come with the help of the gods.' Diamond thought as she sat on the cold floor, waiting for the others to wake.

Osiris and the others laded at the back entrance to the Sky Palace since it was guarded so little. Doruke hopped off from his back along with Byron. /So, how are we going to find them/ Byron asked. /At the most, they should be in one of the dungeons. We must hurry before thee is hurt./ Gizamaluke said. Doruke nodded and headed over to the door, opening it silently and looked around before nodding his head to show the coast was clear.
Osiris went in first and slipped into the nearby shadows along with the others. But they have a time limit now for if they don't save Yugi's friends and get back to the palace before Anzu gets to Yami and Aqua and use the Love Immobility spell on them, then they may all be doomed.

Yugi sat in Yami's room, still crying for the loss of his friends. But he knew that the others will be taking the brunt of the pain since they weren't able to protect them before they got transported to the Sky Palace. Aqua came in silently and was saddened to see Yugi still depressed. He walked over and jumped onto the bed beside him.
"Yugi, do not worry, I know that they will not fail to bring your friends back. With Osiris there, it shouldn't be a problem." Aqua whispered. Yugi nodded and turned to him, hugging him silently and he returned the gesture, knowing Yugi needs all the comfort he can get until his friends are safe back in the palace.

"Yami, please? Let us go up there and try to see if we can help them out? They may not succeed even with the help of Osiris. What happens if they have a trap waiting for them?" Marik argued. "I told you, we must wait. If we all head up there then that will just make the problem worse and leave Yugi vulnerable to be captured by Keith or Dartz. If they succeed with that then they all may be killed." Yami said. Bakura growled lowly, still not liking the thought of Ryou being up there in some cold dungeon and look upon by Pegasus, Keith or Dartz. 'If they dare hurt him in a way I dare not think of, I will tear out their hearts and mutilate their bodies until even I can't recognize them.' Bakura thought.
Yami looked over to him and sighed. He knew that Bakura was normally the emotionless one of their little group but after meeting Ryou changed him for the better just like the rest of them. 'And just like him, we all worry about their safety for if they get hurt, then it will be a total massacre.' Yami thought. They left the room after discussing an alternative plan if Osiris and the other beasts doesn't succeed with liberating Yugi's friends.

Soon, the rest of them woke up and Diamond explained where they were currently. "So, how are we gonna get out of here before Anzu makes Yugi an entrée for the kings?" Jounouchi asked. "I don't know but hopefully they sent out the gods to come and get us before she gets down there and ruins Yugi's life permanently." Diamond answered. Ryou sighed as he leaned back against the bars of the cell. "I hope they do get here soon. I don't want Yugi to die because of Anzu's jealously." he whispered.
"We all don't want that to happen Ryou but with this spell Diamond told us about, it may be pretty impossible if we don't get there to warn them first." They heard a low roar and a large form appeared in the shadows behind them. Diamond got up first, willing to protect the others from harm if needed but relaxed when she saw it was Osiris. "Glad to see you, Osiris." Diamond whispered and he roared lowly again before he came free from the shadows with the others following behind him. Gizamaluke looked to them. /Is thee alright?/ he asked, looking to Ryou. "I'm fine but Yugi won't be if we don't get out of here soon." Topaz said. /Why ever not?/ he asked again.
"Because there's this girl named Anzu and she hates us and Yugi a lot. She followed us back to the palace and tried to worm her way into makin' Yami and Aqua change who they want for a soul mate and was thrown in jail. But unfortunately, Dartz freed her and took her up here. I'm guessin' she told Pegasus of her problem. Since he wants to ruin Yami and Aqua's life, he taught her a spell that will make them fall in love with her and not care 'bout what happen to Yugi. If we don't get down there ta warn 'em before she uses the spell, Yugi will be nothing but a walking entrée to them." Jounouchi explained. Diamond looked over to Veeshan, seeing as she was never in the palace before. "And may I ask who you are? I never seen you among the halls." she asked.
-I am Veeshan, Mother of all Dragons. An old friend of Yami's has told me of your capture and what that foul girl is planning to do with the future soul mate of the Shadow Kings from you. It is unacceptable and I will not tolerate this especially as it is dealing with Aqua. We must get down there now before she does ruin Yugi's life.- Veeshan explained. Osiris roared in anger and agreement as he knelt down onto the ground, motioning for Malik to climb onto his back. He did so while Ryou got onto Gizamaluke's back and Jounouchi on Garnet's. Byron and Doruke climbed onto Osiris's back as well and they flew off through the shadows again, hoping to make it to the palace before Anzu does.

But unfortunately, she was already there and heading to their room as of now. Since she learned the ability to go through, she made it past the guards with ease, 'Now all I need to do is tell them what to do and poof! No more Yugi and I'll be the new queen of the Shadow Kingdom.' Anzu thought with glee as she entered the room, catching their attention. Aqua growled and left the bed. "What are you doing here, girl? You should be locked in the dungeons like the pathetic person you are." Aqua hissed. The brunette looked to him quietly before speaking. "I know I should have but Dartz helped me out and thanks to him taking me to Pegasus, you two shall soon be mine." Anzu spoke and he growled again.
Yami got up as well, fangs bared as he looked to Anzu but that was his undoing as the spell started to take effect. Yugi saw the change and was worried as he slipped off the bed and stood next to Aqua. "What's going on?" he asked. "I don't know but I have a bad feeling." Aqua responded as the spell ended and Yami's eyes were now a darker red than usual. "Now, you are under my command Yami and I want you to kill off Yugi. Make him into a nice meal why don't you`" she said sweetly and he nodded. "Anything for you, Anzu." He whispered in a monotone voice as he turned to them and glared down at Yugi before lunging at him. Aqua reacted quickly and picked him up before flying off to avoid Yami's attack.
He landed on the ground and looked up to them, growling. "Give him here, Aqua! He's going to be my next meal!" he roared. "Yami, snap out of it! It's a trick! We love him and promised to protect him with our lives!" Aqua snapped back to him and moved as Yami unfurled his wings and came at them. "I don't remember such a promise. Only that Anzu wants me to get rid of him and I'm not planning to disappoint her." Yami hissed and charged at them again but Aqua dodged and flew out the room, Yami following behind. "What's going on, Aqua?! Why is he acting this way?" Yugi asked, now frightened of Yami since he was coming after him.
"It's a spell I remember of and it's not pleasant. I bet Pegasus taught her how to use Shadow of Eyes or the Love Immobility spell." Aqua murmured as he dodged a crack of Yami's whip. "What is that spell?" he asked again. "It's a spell that when used, will make the person looking into the eyes of the other immobilized by love for them only and forget who they loved previously. And I can bet all the gold we have in the palace that Pegasus taught her that spell to ruin our life and make hers better by getting rid of you." Yugi buried his face into Aqua's chest at the thought and hoped that he wouldn't be caught. But before they could round a corner, the iron whip hit Aqua's wing and with a guttural roar, he landed on the ground harshly, losing his grip on Yugi.
He made a move to get up and get him before Yami arrived there but he called for shadows to wrap around him and struggled. The other knew he couldn't disperse the shadows since the magic was different from the magic he and Yami shared before. "Yami, listen to me, you don't want to do this. Yugi is our friend, our future mate. If you devour him now then our future will be ruined by a false love." Aqua whispered and Yami didn't pay no mind to him as he grabbed Yugi. He struggled in his grip, hoping to break free. "Please, Yami, listen to him. You came and helped me when Pegasus came after me and my friends. Anzu is the enemy and she wants to get rid of me so she can be with you and rule over the kingdom! You don't want that!" Yugi pleaded with the demon but Yami hissed.
"I don't care anymore. She will rule the kingdom just fine right beside me and nothing shall change that, especially not your death. Goodbye, little Yugi." Yami hissed and as each word passed, his form changed into that of a demonic dragon. He opened his large jaws dripping with saliva and Aqua watched in horror as Yami swallowed Yugi whole, the boy's screams echoing in the hallway. "No...Yugi." Aqua whispered and closed his eyes, tears coming to them as Anzu came from the shadows. "Great work, Yami. Now that he's out of the way, we can live a peaceful life." Anzu said sweetly. Yami nodded absently and looked to Aqua.
"Anzu, make sure he is thrown into the dungeons for trying to change my mind about the boy." Yami ordered as he walked away. "No, let's keep him out, he's only half blind and soon, he will fall for me as well." Anzu said and Yami only nodded as they left from the hall, the shadows leaving Aqua's prone form.

Yugi closed his eyes as he slid down Yami's throat and into his stomach. He landed in the deadly juices and came back up to the surface, crying out as the acid burned delicate skin, wiping the juices away as he looked back up, seeing nothing protruding out that could help him climb back out. He still can't believe that Yami was taken over by a simple spell, done by Anzu no less. "Yami, why? You are stronger than this. Some spell shouldn't have taken control of you that easily unless it really is that powerful. And if it is..." Yugi said quietly as he looked around the pulsating insides of the demon. "Then I'll never get out of here...soon, I will be a victim like all others that you have eaten before." Yugi said softly.
He looked around and found an old ribcage of some sort of animal that wasn't digested yet and hurried over to it, climbing onto it and cried silently, hoping that Aqua will figure out a way how to free him before he is digested completely.

Osiris felt that something was wrong and once they reached the palace, he slipped into the shadows and into the hall where Aqua still lied, crying. When Osiris landed, Diamond landed down right beside him and folded in her wings as she ran over to him. "Aqua, what happened?" she asked. "We're too late. Yugi's gone, into the belly of the beast." Aqua whispered and she gasped. "No, Anzu got here before us?" Kaiser asked and he nodded.
"We have ta save him, we can't let him become nothin'!" Jounouchi said but Ryou tugged back on his shirt. "But how? We can't possibly gut him open like a fish and get him out. That would kill Yami if not make him severely injured." Ryou said and Jounouchi sighed, knowing he was right. "Aqua, is Crimson and the others still here in the palace?" Diamond asked and he nodded. She got up as Osiris and Veeshan helped Aqua up as well.
"Then we need to find Seto. He may know of how we can get Yugi out of Yami's stomach and break the spell before Anzu has complete control of him and the kingdom." Diamond spoke and they ran off to find Seto.

Seto looked up when he heard knocking at the door and opened it, happy to see Jounouchi but saw their worried faces. "Seto, you need to help us!" Diamond called and he nodded as he let them inside.
"What's going on?"
"After Osiris and the other beasts freed us from Pegasus' grip, Anzu made her way down here with a love spell. It was called the Love Immobility spell and she planned to use it on Yami and Aqua. Only Yami was affected because Aqua couldn't see it to fully grasp him. But anyways, to the point. She used the spell and commanded him to go after Yugi. "Unfortunately, we weren't able to get here in time to warn them as Aqua wasn't able to keep Yugi away from him so he became a large dragon demon from what Aqua told us and ate Yugi. We need your help to free Yami from the spell and get Yugi out of him before he's gone forever." Ryou explained.
"No, this is terrible and we only have a short amount of time to get Yugi out of Yami's stomach since his dragon form digests faster than his regular demon form. Luckily, I know of the counter spell and we need to hurry. I'll be needing your help Diamond as Yugi can't help us with this spell and use his light to power it." Seto said and she nodded. "Jounouchi, I want you and the others to see if you can get Yami and Anzu into the throne room. But be careful, because of the spell, Anzu has complete control over him by now so she can command him to come after you. The others, especially myself, won't be happy to hear that Yami has devoured you and your friends as well. Take Osiris, Veeshan and the other beasts to help." Seto commanded and he nodded, climbing onto Garnet's back as the others got onto their respective beasts' or Osiris's back and left out, hoping to succeed before Yugi is gone for good.

Yami and Anzu were already in the throne, Anzu talking about how horrible her life was with Yugi and his friends around and Yami only nodded absentmindedly. They looked up though when they heard the doors slam open and Jounouchi along with the others standing there. "You have gone too far, Anzu. Not only did ya hypnotize Yami into thinking you're his future mate and hurt Aqua but ya made him devour Yugi and that's not funny!" Jounouchi said angrily. She huffed. "And what are you going to do about it? All you are is another treat to Yami." she said and looked up to him with sad eyes. "Yami, they have also been mean to me when we were in the human world before you came to take me away. Take care of them for me, please?" Anzu said sweetly and he nodded as he got up, growling at them.
"Dude, this isn't good. She has him following her every command like a dog! Okay, you guys know what to do?" Kaiser asked. They nodded and when Yami charged for them, they split up, Jounouchi moving Garnet so he wouldn't be hit by Yami. The god dragon went to hold Yami back and was doing a pretty good job as he had his body wrapped around Yami, preventing him from moving albeit loosely for he didn't want to crush Yugi. Yami roared as he tried to fight him off and then looked back to Anzu when he heard scream out to him. "Help me Yami!" she screamed as Byron and Kaiser grabbed her. "Not this time, Anzu. You are so going to pay for this if Yugi dies." Kaiser growled.

Yugi looked up when he felt Yami moving as if he was in a struggle and heard muffled voices. 'What's going on out there?' Yugi wondered as he held onto the slowly dissolving ribcage lightly just in case Yami finally realized he was inside him.

After she was taught the counter spell, she mounted Doruke's back and he ran off quickly to the throne room. When she came in, she was happy to see Yami was pinned by Veeshan and Osiris but saw that Jounouchi and Ryou seemed to be hurt along with Gizamaluke and Garnet. Doruke ran over to them first. "Are you guys alright?" she asked. "We're fine. Yami just got loose fer a brief minute ta try and help out Anzu, knockin' into Gizamaluke and Garnet as they flew by. Osiris got him pinned again with help from Veeshan. Hurry before he breaks free again." Jounouchi explained and she nodded as she climbed off Doruke's back and with a low whistle, called Lati.
She came in with a shrill cry that she knew Yugi heard from inside Yami and helped Diamond reach up to where Yami was pinned. He snarled, hissed and growled as he tried to break free again but stopped when he looked to Diamond. She pulled out the amethyst jewel and swung it in front of Yami's face like a pendulum. "Yami, listen to the sound of my voice. Yugi and his friends aren't the enemy. Anzu is. She turned you against your true love and made you devour him. He now lies deep within you and will be gone if you don't break from her spell. Hurry and break the spell, free Yugi from inside of you." She whispered and he groaned softly, closing his eyes silently.
"What! What are you doing to him?!" she screeched. "Sorry, Anzu, but Yami and Aqua belong to Yugi and we as his friends aren't going to let you ruin it for him." Diamond hissed as Yami opened his eyes again, now the same crimson red as before. "What happened and why am I like this?" he asked. "Long story but we don't have time to explain! Yugi is inside your stomach because of a spell Anzu casted on you and her commands, she told you to devour him! You need to get him out quick! You're lucky we came before he is gone completely." Diamond said and he gasped as he was released from Osiris's and Veeshan's grip.
He knelt down in all fours and started to heave every muscle to regurgitate the little one trapped inside him. Lati landed and let Diamond down as well and all watched, hoping that Yugi wasn't dead. With help from Osiris and a well-aimed hit to his abdomen, Yugi was purged from Yami's stomach slowly and into his claws. Yami lied him down on the ground and checked for a pulse and was relieved to find one. Yugi was safe. Slimy and unconscious but safe. A snout nudged him slightly and with a groan, Yugi woke up, rubbing his head from when he hit against the ribcage and found out he wasn't looking at the inside of Yami's stomach no more and sat up, looking to him.
He was still afraid that he would eat him again but was relieved when he nuzzled him instead. "I am so sorry, Yugi. I didn't mean for any of this to happen." Yami whispered and the smaller teen stroked his snout gently. "It's ok, Yami. It wasn't your fault, it was Anzu's for using that spell before you had a chance to react." Yugi whispered. He purred lowly, nuzzling him again before he turned to where Anzu was being held by Byron and Kaiser. "As for you, I had enough of your insolence. You have hypnotized me into not only making me think you were my future mate but making me consume Yugi as well. This is lower than low and as this was done on a Shadow King, the punishment is death." Yami growled as he walked over to where she stood.
Byron and Kaiser backed away and she shivered in fear and yet gazed into his narrowed eyes once more, hoping to hypnotize him before she's a goner. "Don't think the spell will work on me again, girl. Once the spell is broken, it will be stay that way until another caster tries." Yami hissed and the brunette gulped, knowing she was doomed to take her punishment. He roared and Anzu screamed as he grabbed her in her jaws. He snapped his jaws repeatedly, crushing her with sharp teeth and strong jaws, splattering blood onto him and the floor of the throne room until he gulped down her mutilated body, licking his jaws clean and snorted in anger. Yugi walked over, although slipping a few times since he was still slimy and stood beside him, placing a hand on his foreleg. "Are you going to be ok, Yami?" Yugi asked softly and he looked down to him, nodding. "I'll be fine. Come, let's get you cleaned up." Yami murmured. Yugi nodded as he went to sit on his right claw and Yami moved to turn back to them.
"Thank you Diamond for freeing me from the spell. I can't believe she made me do such a thing." Yami hissed. "I know. I couldn't believe it either but knowing her, she thought it would be the best way to get rid of him without you finding out. If Osiris and the others gotten here sooner, we could've warned you before she got here but alas, we didn't but we're glad that there was a counter-spell or else we all would've been doomed." Yami nodded and turned to Osiris and Veeshan. "And I thank you both for helping them out of Pegasus' grip. I don't think Marik and Bakura was going to listen to me any longer if you didn't get back here with them." Yami spoke and Osiris roared lowly, making it sound like he was chuckling.
-It was nothing, Yami. Keara told me that something was going on and sent me over to help you for I despise Pegasus as much as you do for banishing all the people of the sky.- Veeshan spoke. "Well, now that this mess has been taken care of, time for you guys to get back into your shared rooms and the beasts back into their stables. Gizamaluke, you may stay here as well, there should be a lake in the back of the stable big enough for you. Let Osiris lead you there. Veeshan, Yah'Lir and Tirranun has been wanting to see you for a long time, they should be in another chamber beside the gods.
"Follow Osiris and he'll take you to them. I'll be out of my demon dragon form in a few hours so I'll come by to see about those injuries." Yami said and they nodded as they left headed back to their shared rooms with the other demons and Yami walked out as well with Yugi sitting on his fore claw, happy now that Yami was ok and was able to break free before he was nothing more than a dead boy in a soul demon's stomach.

Zypher: Yes, I know it was evil of me to make Yami devour Yugi but everything turned out well in the end. They saved Yugi and Anzu is dead by an angry demon. Review and I hope to get the next chapter out soon.
