Hi there! Chapter 13 is out and Chapter 14 is in the process of being written. I hope you all like this one...I have a few things planned for the next chapter so I hope this one is okay!
Disclaimer: I don't own Yugioh. Kazuki Takahashi-sama does, nor do I own anything that resembles anothers work.
Warnings: This fic contains shounen-ai (boyxboy) relationships, so if you don't like. Don't read. Simple.
Last Chapter: "I'll save you love, like you have once done for me. If I die, I'll return to you, always. I love you, Bakura," Ryou whispered as he gently kissed the sphere before going deep into the forest.
The other Malik scanned the skies, getting more and more agitated. How could a yellow clad person hide so well in the trees? He flew a little lower and looked more closely, growling to himself. Silently drifting above him was the real Malik. He prepared himself for a dive and when the copy was in the right place, Malik used a few stray breezes and one powerful flap of his feathery wings to rocket himself into the copies back, tackling him to the ground below before zipping up into the sky again.
"You're a hopeless stealth fighter!" Malik called out with a laugh, watching as his copy threw off this torn and muddy shirt with an angered yell.
"Alright, that's it!" the other Malik called so Malik could hear him, "You've got me angry now!" Malik could see that the other Malik had harnessed a few breezes and they were tossing his platinum blonde hair about his face wildly.
"Whatever you say, faker. Catch me if you can!" Malik called as he flew off once again, the other Malik growling as he flew after his prey, thinking of ways to trap the skilled Air Elemental.

As Yugi ran around the palace, his idea on how to destroy his other half was slowly coming to light.
"Just where the heck are you taking us, little Light?" the other Yugi called out from behind, trying to catch up to the real Yugi.
If there is one thing that Yami has taught me, it is that everyone has a dark side. Yugi's eyes lit up. That's it! I have to darken the light. Or in Yami's words, corrupt the copy of me. That's the flaw with these things…clones I think Ryou called them. They only have knowledge of us from when they were copied. What we've learned in the weeks after they were being made they don't know. C'mon Yugi. You've got to manipulate yourself…Yugi stopped running. That sounded weird…
"Ah, tired are you, Yugi? Would you like a rest before we continue our battle?"
"If you're going to kill me, your not supposed to be compassionate," the real Yugi said with a smirk, a little thing he had learnt from his darkness.
The copy shrugged. "I was being nice. So are you ready? You know, I really don't like being in this predicament…" he said, holding his hand out, palm towards the real Yugi.
"You know…you don't have to do this. You can change your ideals, your motives. Why do you want me killed?"
The other Yugi looked confused for a moment. "Because I was created to do so and Malik told me to."
"Do you really want to kill, just because you've been told to do so? You have a choice you know."
"I know…and this is where your life ends!" the copy yelled out, releasing a blast of magic. Yugi jumped out of the way.
Gods! He's serious! Yugi dodged again, this time when he stood up; he prepared to launch his own attack, amethyst eyes narrowed slightly.

Up above the action, King Seto and Jonouchi looked on.
"Look at it, Jonouchi. Isn't this chaos wonderful?" Seto asked with amusement.
Jonouchi nodded, guilt made itself known as he looked towards the ruined throne room. In moments, his best friend would be consumed by the shadows and the other two Elementals would be drained of their power and thus their life force. Jonouchi looked into his loves blue eyes, all feeling of guilt being dispersed. He was doing this for the power that he deserved.

Vines snaked around behind the other Ryou and trees bent out of the way, making room so the two Earth Elementals could fight.
"Any final words?" the other Ryou asked as he put one arm forward, preparing to attack with raw magic, a pale green magic surrounding the copies hand.
"None, I'll have no final words because you will be the one who's finished!" Ryou jumped forwards and grabbed onto a vine and swang into the trees. "We're going to fight this in numerous ways. I refuse just to fight you straight on. We're going to use some other tactics. I'm sure you'll remember them. First off is stealth fighting, like Malik's people do. Catch me if you can," Ryou said with a chuckle as he darted off into the woods, his green robe pulled tightly against himself so it didn't get tangled.
The other Ryou leered as he took chase, trying to find the green of his other's robes through the trees. Suddenly, a branch snapped and the real Ryou fell from the canopy, holding onto a vine as he swung towards the copy and landed a kick in his stomach before swinging into the canopy once more with a delighted laugh.
"Now I know why Malik's people fight like this. It's fun."
Suddenly the forest went completely silent and then the other Ryou's voice floated through the trees.
"I can see you, can you see me?"
The real Ryou glanced around, looking for his copy. Out of nowhere, a green ball of magic came hurtling towards the Earth Mage, catching him by surprise and blasting him into a large tree. The impact winded Ryou and he cried out as a branch connected with his head.
"Hmm, very interesting. It seems you've remembered how to fight this way. Congratulations," Ryou said, wiping a drip of blood from his forehead and gently dabbing some crushed up leaves on the cut. The medicine in the leaves doing their work almost instantly. Ryou quickly placed both hands in front of him and sent a wave of magic towards his copy, slamming him up into a cliff side and down into the lake. He swiftly climbed the tree and jumped onto the cliff point.
"Come on, we're not even really fighting yet!" Ryou called out to his copy when he resurfaced.
The copy looked up with a menacing glare.
"You will pay dearly for that, Ryou. Oh so dearly!" the other Ryou called out as he moved wet silvery hair from his eyes before beginning to climb the rocky cliff face. Oh how he will pay…the other Ryou thought as he angrily clambered towards his target.
Well, that chapter was kind of like a fill-in. I will try to get the next one posted real soon. I hope this chapter wasn't as bad as I thought it was! Ja ne!
