Chapter 16 Angels Blood

Darkness.

Tea sat in darkness.

Around her were stacks of hay, and in her hands, the shovel she had hit Yami with. She clutched it tightly, knowing she would need it again.

It had been a while. It was pretty quiet. And she had never noticed how dark it could get in the barn. An advantage. Well, the sun was also setting.

To tell the truth, she was glad Joseph had that outburst. Bakura didn't seem to be doing anything, and it gave her a chance to run. Silently, she thanked him.

On the other side, Bakura was cursing Joseph. Yami would be dead right now if not for him.

And the thing he hated most, Joseph was still with him!

Time was running out.

He couldn't babysit any longer.

"Stay here!" he mouthed to Joseph, and left him.

Joseph stayed put...but he wasn't comfortable about it.

Ryou was also in the dark, and quiet the whole time. In fact, he realized no one was making noise, except for the moving around...or it could have been the horses, he didn't know...

He listened more carefully...there was definitely someone moving...

Pretty close too...

He readied his gun...

"What are we doing?"

"Waiting"

"For what?"

"Why do you ask so many questions?"

Serenity seemed offended. "well, I'm sorry! I'm just wondering why we aren't going in after him..."

Serenity, Marik and Malik were still back at the house, so no one in the barn could hear them talking.

Marik was loading his gun, while Malik was explaining to her, "Because...you know how dark it can get in there? It's an accident waiting to happen..."

"I thought you guys were experts! And I thought that guy," she pointed at Marik, "didn't care about whether he dies or not."

They all stopped, and looked at each other. But Malik and Marik knew they didn't want to interfere with Ryou's personal problems, they knew how mad he would get, especially in a situation like this...

"We're still not going..." Malik said.

Serenity sighed, "Fine!" and she turned away from them 'stupid gits' she muttered.

"What you say!?" Marik yelled.

"nothing..."

Joseph stayed for as long as he could, but then...he kinda got nervous...really nervous...He started movig towards the light of the doorway, hoping he was not seen.

Tea heard movement...it seemed far off though...that was either good or bad...

She wished to know what was happening...she didn't know with all the hay in the way.

Until she heard movement...right behind her...

Ryou ran into Bakura. He didn't shoot, he wasn't even surprised. The white hair was unmistakable.

"Where's Tea?" Ryou mouthed.

Bakura merely shrugged his shoulders.

"You don't know!" he mouthed back, trying his best to let sound out, which was probably hard to do, since he was mad.

Joseph was moving along, until he saw a dark figure... 'Yami!' he thought.

He had to think fast, and made his way behind some hay...

Tea still sat in darkness...and was still hearing movement.

Her grip tightened on the shovel, she was ready.

She saw a dark figure... 'that isn't Yami...' she thought.

With the tip of the shovel, she made a soft grinding sound on the wooden floor...quiet, but Joseph heard it.

He whipped around her way... 'he has my gun!' she could see the silvery reflection from what little light that had made its way into the barn.

Wait...it was brighter now...the sun was setting, the sun was close to the ground, shining brilliantly through the barn. With all the hay, Tea was still in the shadows, but she could see Joseph more clearly.

She got the shovel, and stuck it out in the light and he realized it was her, and he instantly was on the floor beside her.

He held out the gun "take this" he was hardly whispering, but she understood him.

Tea took it. "first chance you get, run to the door." She whispered back.

He nodded in response and then she gave him the shovel, just in case.

Ryou and Bakura looked at each other, and could see each other more clearly. More light, an advantage for them...but also for Yami.

They nodded to each other. They were ready.

"Yami!" Ryou yelled, stepping into the light. "Come out! We know you're here!"

No answer. They didn't expect one.

Ryou could see the sun in the doorway and....something else in the corner of his eye.

He turned his head. It was Yami.

(I could've stopped it here... but I'll be nice for a change, lol)

"So" Yami said. "We meet again."

"For the last time." Ryou replied, turning to face him completely.

Yami was standing right in front of him now.

Ryou already had his gun out and ready, but he had to admit that he had never seen anyone pull a gun out so fast before...like Yami did.

He had it ready and everything, in a split second, Ryou didn't have time to react, and all that was left was one pull of the trigger.

"I'll take good care of Tea..."

BOOM!

A very loud gunshot...too loud actually...

Yami looked at Ryou for a few seconds. He was still standing. They both were.

Yami then knew something was wrong...he didn't know what exactly.

But for some reason, he looked to his right...

There...stood a figure, a smoking gun in their hand...

"I can take care of myself."

It was Tea.

It was now that Yami realized that it was the searing pain in the right side of him that caused him to look.

His eyes grew blank, his hands, limp, he dropped his gun...Tea's face was the last face he saw.

He fell with a thud.

Dead.

Ryou smiled. He's dead! He's finally dead!

But...why was he feeling so bad?

He thought he saw Yami pull the trigger...

Wait....Yami did pull the trigger...

It was then he realized that he had dropped his gun already.

He didn't know why the blood was rushing to his mouth, or couldn't explain how he felt this pain...

Looking at Yami's dead body, he fell into darkness...

(again, I could've stopped it here...)

Ryou fell, Tea had seen this.

And she dropped her own gun.

Her mouth fell open...

...no...

She instantly was by his side. He had a pulse...his breathing was getting slow...he was hanging on to life...but it probablt wouldn't be for long...

She shook her head hard. "no" she whispered.

Then she screamed it. "NO!!!"

She couldn't hold back the tears any longer, they fell freelt, She didn't care.

"No, God please! No!"

Bakura was there with her now, she had not noticed.

Joseph was now out of hiding, and the other three came when they heard the gunshot.

They were shocked to witness what they were seeing. Blood was everywhere.

Tea noticed no one. She leaned close to Ryou's ear.

"You are not doing this to me...You're not doing what I did to you..."

The sun had gone down fast, it was now gone. Darkness.

TBC

I'm Sorry! I'm Sorry! I'm Sorry!

(gets killed by all reviewers)

So, so, so very sorry! I hate that I did that, I nearly cryed myself...seriously!

If you want to yell at me, go on ahead, but remember, it ain't over yet!!!!

R&R!

See ya!
