Chapter 9: Fight between hikaris and yamis; a forgetful end
Isis stood in front of Yugi. "I can't let you hurt your hikari pharaoh."
Yami smirked, "You can't stop me."
"Yami! What's wrong with you?" Yugi asked.
"What's wrong with me? What wrong with me!" the pharaoh started to laugh. "You're the one with a problem. You see none of this is real. It's all a game. Except for you Yugi."
"Pharaoh, please listen to us!" Isis started.
"I'm done listening." Yami said turning around. With his back to them, he closed his eyes as a tear fell.
"Isis…"
Isis looked down at Yugi. "What is it Yugi?"
"I'd like to be alone with Yami."
"But Yugi, he'll kill you."
"I'll take that chance." Yugi said.
Isis nodded and stood back. Yugi started to walk towards the pharaoh. Yami opened his eyes and turned back around. He looked at Yugi and narrowed his eyes.
"You should listen to Isis my hikari."
"Yami…"
"My name is Atemu."
"But you're still my yami, my darkness."
"Dark indeed."
Yugi reached out to put his hand on the pharaoh, but Yami moved his shoulder back to make Yugi's hand miss.
"Why are you doing this Yami?"
"You should know the answer to that Yugi." Yugi noticed that the pharaohs voice was raspy and dark.
"I don't, tell me why, that's all I want to know."
The pharaoh looked down at him harshly. Within a sudden movement he pulled a knife put of his pocket and attempted to slash Yugi with it. The hikari fell back with a cry of surprise.
"Yugi!" Isis ran over to him. "Pharaoh, you have to stop this now!"
Yami looked down at them, his bleak expression hadn't changed. He turned the knife in his hand and slit Isis's throat. She fell beside Yugi, who shook at the sight of her lifeless body. The pharaoh kneeled down beside the cowering boy. He raised the knife above his head and slammed it down.
Yugi slowly opened his eyes, half expecting to see a knife in is stomach. Instead he saw the millennium puzzle in the air, blocking the knife from hitting him. Yami looked at the puzzle then at Yugi. The puzzle knocked the knife out of his hands.
"The puzzle won't always be able to protect you." Yami said as Yugi faded away. He stood up, still looking down at the spot Yugi had been lying.
"Pharaoh, we have a problem." Bakura said.
"The items are protecting our hikari's." Marik said.
"I know, the puzzle is doing the same for mine."
----
"Everyone is awake but Tea." Said Odion as Isis woke up. He wasn't sure how much longer he should be waiting.
Kaiba grumbled something from his corner. Mokuba was asleep in a chair next to Joey, who was also asleep.
"No one cares about Tea. Besides, she's not in the game anymore."
"Not in the game?"
"You heard me." Kaiba said.
Odion looked back at the computer. 'I hope what master Malik was planning works…' he pressed enter and typed in something else before hitting enter again.
----
"Is that Yugi?" Ryou asked. Malik and him stopped walking and watched Yugi appear in front of them. He turned around and looked at them.
"Ryou, Malik! Yami he's … he…" Yugi's eyes filled up with tears. "He tried to kill me." He choked out.
"Yugi, our yami's are all evil. Ours already killed us once." Ryou said.
"But you're alive…"
Malik looked at Ryou then sighed. "This is all a game."
"…That's what Yami said."
"It is, this is all a game that Kaiba made. We came back to get everyone out so that we can bring down our yamis. They've taken this too far." Malik said.
Ryou looked off to the side. "There's only one thing…"
"What?" Malik asked.
"Well, before Bakura killed me, he was acting like himself but then we were attacked by some people and he told me to run. So I did and when he showed up again something was different. His eyes, they flashed red. Then when he got me cornered and I tried talking sense into him, he went normal again."
"Maybe there's something in the game that's making them like this?"
Yugi wiped some tears off his face. "What are we going to do about it?"
"I had Odion load a virus we created into our virtual bodies. If we can just get close enough to our yamis than we can spread the virus to them. It would break the barriers over them and able us to kill them."
"By the looks of it, he's started the virus." Ryou said holding up his hand. It had a matrix of numbers and letters on it. "We don't have much time."
----
"Shouldn't we go after them?" Marik asked.
"No, they'll come to us." Yami said.
"How can you be so sure?" Bakura asked.
"Just look." The pharaoh pointed at the entrance as the three hikaris walked in. Bakura grinned, Marik ran his tongue over his lips.
Yugi looked at the pharaoh. "You want to kill us, so come and get us."
Malik and Ryou nodded.
-Battle scene had to be cut due to low reviews-
"You're going down now Yami-! Hey wait, what?" Yugi blinked.
"The fights been cut!" Ryou gasped.
Everyone looks at me. Hey! No looking!
"But what about all the martial arts classes we had to take?" Marik asked.
"Yeah!" Yami said. "It's time to fi-fi-fi-fi-fi-fi-fi-fi-fi-fi–Fight!"
"You're the one who paid for them after all." Malik said ignoring Yami.
"And we're all set up for the battle. I mean I got my real knife and all that fake blood would just go to waste…" Bakura added.
… Damn … you have a point … fine, fine. Here's your stinking battle.
-Battle scene-
Marik pushed his sleeves up as Yami pulled off his cape. Bakura just pulled out a knife and starred directly back at Ryou.
The hikaris walked towards their darks. Yami made the first move. He threw a punch at Yugi, but the puzzle was the only thing he made contact with.
"You didn't answer me from last time Yami."
"It's Atemu, and I said you already knew the answer." The pharaoh said as he continued to try and hit Yugi.
Marik and Malik circled each other.
"I live off of the anger in you Malik, there's no way you can beat me."
"Yes there is."
Marik grabbed Malik by the neck. The millennium rod fell from Maliks pocket.
A few feet away from Malik and Marik, Ryou stumbled back. Bakura pushed him again. "Come on Ryou, fight back."
Ryou shook his head. "This isn't how you really are Bakura and I know that there's a way to get you back."
"And how's that?" Marik asked as he pressed his fingers into Maliks neck. A knife cut threw his arm. It was so fast it didn't even started to bleed until Marik pulled his arm back. Malik held his neck and watched Marik pulled the millennium rods knife out of his arm. Blood dipped down his elbow, Marik started for Malik again. "Tell me how you're going to defeat me Malik."
"By forgiving you." Malik grabbed Mariks face with his hands. The matrix numbers and letter spread onto him. Marik grabbed Maliks arms and tried pulling them away but he couldn't. Malik pulled the knife from Mariks hand.
"You're weakness is my emotions. If I stop being so angry, you're powerless against me." Malik said. He slammed the knife into Mariks chest and watched him fall. Malik smiled a bit and looked at the other two hikaris still fighting.
"One down…" He said dropping to the floor next to his yami.
"This is the real Bakura. You're going to have to get used to it Ryou." Bakura pinned Ryou against the wall.
"At least let me kiss you before I die." Ryou said. He pulled himself free from Bakura and slammed his lips against Bakura. He wrapped his hands around Bakuras head and let the numbers and letters flow off him. Bakura pulled back.
"You may have weaken me but you don't have a weapon to finish me off." Bakura said as he re-pinned Ryou against the wall.
"That's what you think." Ryou said. The millennium ring shot up, ramming into Bakura. Bakura took a few steps back and looked down at the five red spots that were slowly growing. He looked up at Ryou then away.
"Ryou…"
Ryou closed his eyes. "I knew I could get you back." He said as they both fell to the ground. "Yugi … good luck…" Ryou softly added.
----
"How long can it take for them to fight?" Joey asked getting a bit impatient.
"We have just have to wait. There's no telling what could happen." Isis said.
----
"Looks like it's just you and me Yugi." The pharaoh said.
Yugi fell back and Yami kicked him in his side.
"You're not going to win, I won't let you Yami!"
Yugi tried to get up but the pharaoh pushed him back down with his foot.
"You left me Yugi. I was all alone, lost, confused. The darkness in me grew, after all, I am the darkness."
The pharaoh pushed his foot harder. Yugi's eyes watered.
"Yami, I didn't mean too… please, you have to understand." Yugi said as he held Yamis ankle. The pharaoh pulled his foot away and turned away from Yugi. Yugi looked up at him.
"You can choose to be the darkness of me or you can choose to be the light of someone. You've taught me so much Yami and one of them was to never give up but I can't let this go on." Yugi got onto his knees. This world wasn't real right? He thought real hard about making something appear.
He got what he wanted. A gold glass formed in front of him. A silver liquid filled it to nearly the top. Yugi picked the glass up and looked at Yami.
"So I'll do what you want."
The pharaoh turned around. "Do what I want?"
"I'll die… for you. Just like in Romeo and Juliet… don't you think?"
Before the pharaoh could say anything to stop Yugi, he raised the glass to his mouth and gulped some of the silver drink.
"Yugi, no!" Yami grabbed his forehead. "Gah!" Yugi watched as the pharaoh dropped to his knees in front of him.
"Too late… Yami … I mean Atemu, I just want you to know that I tried as hard as I could to get back to you."
Yami grabbed Yugi's shoulders. "Please, stop Yugi. I'm sorry." Tears wield up in the pharaohs eyes.
"I don't want to… forget you."
"Then don't." Yami said.
"I can't help it. I'm already forgetting … how this all happened… what got me to look in those books … I'm even forgetting you. I can't remember how we met … or why I care for you so much…"
"Yugi, please, stop. I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do this, it wasn't suppose to be like this. I couldn't stop myself, I couldn't stop myself from hurting you."
"I know…"
"Yugi…"
Yami looked at the cup. There was still a sip of the silver poison. He grabbed it and drank it. He kissed Yugi trying to get any last bit of poison. He at his angel as tears fell freely. "Please don't do this."
----
Marik was the first one with his eyes open. He jumped a little and gagged. Bakura was next, his eyes flew open and he let a shaky breath.
The pharaohs eyes slowly opened, a tear fell from each eye. He came back to reality and sat up. "Yugi, where's Yugi!" He demanded to know. Isis pointed to the couch. Yami stood up and grabbed Yugi.
"Yugi, I'm sorry for what I did, honest." He said shaking Yugi.
Yugi's eyes opened. He looked at Yami and smiled.
"Yugi!" The pharaoh hugged him.
"Hello."
Yami sat back and looked at Yugi.
"Who are you?" Yugi asked looking back at him.
"No…"
Yugi glanced at everyone in the room. "Who are all of you?"
Ryou and Malik both sat up with the same confused look on their faces. "And … who are we?"
To be continued...
