Chapter 2, pain filled past
Kaiba sat by Mokuba's bedside as always. The slow
rhythmic beeps of the heart monitor his only companion. Mokuba had
been like this for 3 years, ever since a dark tide dart from Dornkirk
hit him. He took it to save Kaiba. They had to put him in stasis. The
only stasis pod there was. For the dark tide corrupted you to your
very soul, turned you into one of Dornkirk's solders. You would
turn against your family and friends. Just hunger to kill in
Dornkirk's name. Kaiba could not bear for that to happen to Mokuba.
So here they were.
Kaiba was awoken from his memories by a shadow
falling over him; he looked up to see the Dark magician standing
there.
"What do you want Dark magician?" he said not unkindly,
he was tired, he had locked himself away from everyone when Mokuba
had fallen. He remembered Yugi trying to comfort him. But he would
have none of it blaming himself for the condition of Mokuba.
"Master
Yugi thought you could use this" The dark magician said simply,
handing over the vile of glowing white liquid. Kaiba's heart
stopped. It was the antidote…he had been searching for so long. But
given up hope. For even his Blue-eyes white dragon had been beaten
back. Unable to gain it for his master. And there Yugi had managed to
get it without any fuss. And he was giving it to him…for nothing.
Kaiba looked up a tear in his eyes.
"Thank you. Where is Yugi? I
must thank him" He was stopped from that thought when he saw Yugi
being led past the glass window of the sick bay. Guns pointed at him.
He hung his head but looked up when he passed. He smiled upon seeing
the vile in Kaiba's hands. He nodded. Kaiba nodded his thanks in
return. It was all he could do. The glass separated them. He turned
to the dark magician.
"What is going on?"
"The master was
infected. They don't realise, that the master can never be turned.
I took it all out. But it would have made no difference. He wouldn't
have been tainted. His heart is too pure."
"They must be
taking him to quarantine. I must give this to Mokuba. Then we will
see to Yugi"
The dark magician nodded, it would seem Kaiba was
back…
Anzu and Jounouchi took Atemu to Yugi's room. Inside
was sparse. But he could feel the teen's presence. It made him
smile. Here and there were duel monster items. Anzu went over to a
wardrobe. She took out clothes similar to Yugi's. In fact all Yugi
seemed to have was Leather. Which suited Atemu fine. He took the
cloths behind a screen. On the screen was a picture of Slifer. He
changed while he talked to his two old friends.
"What has
happened? Why does it seem everyone hates Yugi. Even you seem to
distance yourselves from him."
"We do it…. cause he asked us
to." Jou replied sadly.
"What do you mean?"
"I suppose
we should start from the beginning." Anzu motioned Atemu to sit.
She was about to continue. When a brown ball of fluff tackled
Atemu
"KWEEEEEEE"
"Kuriboh?"
"Kweee" the ball of
fluff nuzzled happily into the ancient Pharaoh. He laughed as he
stroked the small creature. Then a thought struck him..
"How is
he out?"
Anzu sighed. "We will tell you…after you left. We
all returned home. we were Happy, Yugi though was sad for a very long
time. He did not duel anymore back then, but he did teach the Kid's
in the street. he also still held his title before all this happened.
But he had no will to compete anymore. Maybe that was part of the
reason he lost. You see about 6 months later, Yugi began to get a
feeling. He Said some evil was coming. We all dismissed it, trying to
get on with our lives. But I suppose it all came to a head when they
found the millennium puzzle again."
" They dug it up?"
"Yeah.
Jii-chan went over there a soon as he heard. And managed to get it
back for Yugi, but it would seem they released something. It was like
a black tide. Hence that is what we called it in the end. It took
over the excavation crew, with the blood they opened the door to the
shadow realm, So the monsters could exist here without a master to
summon them. Those who came out were infected by the black tide, they
became its minions." Stated Jou.
"What of Dornkirk?"
"Dornkirk
is not the man, it is the name of the dark tide inside the old body.
He found Machines served to enhance the tide, so he built the tower.
With the help of his human slaves. But before he could do all this,
it was like with the puzzle. He would have to duel…. So everyone
chose Yugi, he fought Dornkirk hard. Even managed to summon the three
gods, none thought he would be able, us included, we all thought they
were for you only. But they came and swore themselves to him the
God's fought hard…but in the end. Dornkirk cheated. We did not know
at the time, hence how he got a foothold. He threatened Jii-chan,
forcing Yugi to lose the fight, we knew none of this. He also
infected Yugi's deck, making the monsters weak. In the end Yugi
lost" Jou sighed sadly. Tears coming to his eye's "that monster
killed Jii-chan just for the hell of it…right in front of Yugi.
Then the killing started. So many dead. We ran to this shelter. It
was then, thanks to Kaiba we found out Dornkirk had cheated. So
somehow Yugi created a bubble of protection around this place. Any
monster infected with the tide cannot pass. The same for humans
unless Yugi says so. Hence Mokuba being here."
Atemu closed his
eyes. What his Aibou had gone through? But that still did not explain
a few things.
"What of Mokuba. And why do they all seem to hate
Yugi?"
"Mokuba was hurt by the dark tide, infected. Kaiba put
him in stasis, Kaiba was hit badly by what happened to Mokuba. He has
not spoken or moved from Mokuba's side for 3 years now. As to the
why they all hate Yugi, They blame him, saying he should not of
lost, they say the Great king of games should have beaten them. Dogan
more so, his wife and daughter were the first to die. He wants to
kill Yugi, but he can't knowing the barrier would fall. So he just
hurts him instead. He hurts all close to him also. Hence why Yugi has
distanced himself from us." Anzu said. Looking to a picture on
Yugi's desk of them all together.
"It would seem Yugi has
become very powerful," stated Atemu, taking in all Yugi had
done.
"Yes. He still is basically the same, still kind. But some
of what he was is lost in the pain he faced. But you should have seen
his face when he felt you. Such happiness. Which turned to
determination when he sensed where you presence was…. nothing would
stop him."
"What of our monsters why did he tell them to
go?"
"Dogan hates all shadow monsters. He has a ring. In it a
stone. This stone will cause great pain to a shadow monster if he
chooses. Yugi can do nothing to stop it. He does not want His friends
hurt. For they are all he has to talk to now. If we are seen talking
with Yugi. We would be in trouble."
" I see. So where have
they taken him."
"To quarantine" Anzu replied sadly
"Then
I must see him"
"No buddy you can't. They wouldn't let you
near"
"But they would let me" Came a voice from the doorway.
They all looked up to see Kaiba.
"Kaiba..is Mo.."
Kaiba
broke into a huge smile "Mokuba is awake"
"That's great
Seto. But what did you mean before?" Jou asked smiling too
"Come
on…. lets go get Yugi" they all rose. Intent on getting their
friend.
They walked down the stone hallways. The structure
of the mountain peeking through here and there. The Quarantine
section was behind a large steel door. It looked like a safe door,
with large steel rods locking it in place. Outside stood guards. The
raised their guns upon the friends approach.
"Halt, no one is
allowed to enter without clearance."
"You will let me pass. I
am Seto Kaiba. Registration SK42395173."
The guards could say
nothing. That pass code was one of the high ranking.
"Anzu, you
and the Pharaoh get Yugi. Me and Jou will wait here"
"Ok, come
on Atemu" the two ran in. the white door marked 03 was Yugi's
cell, for they could hear his voice from inside. He was singing.
"Oh
no" Anzu exclaimed
"What?"
"That song, he only sings
that when he is really depressed. Makes my heart break to think, that
is what he really thinks. Wait a moment Atemu. Let him finish" the
stood outside the door, looking in at the hunched figure…
Please,
please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday
you'll have woke up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no
one:
"isn't something missing? "
You won't
cry for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that
unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn't something
missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
Even though I'd be
sacrificed,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die
to know you love me,
I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing
me?
Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home
again.
I know what you do to yourself,
Shudder deep and cry
out:
"isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing
me?
And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
Knowing you don't
care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
And wake without you
there,
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something...
Yugi
looked up as the last note died away. He saw them and stood up.
"What
are you two doing here?" he asked as they opened the door
"We're
taking you out of here. Come on, you look exhausted. And I bet Dogan
hasn't left you alone…from the way your leaning.
"Anzu..Observant
as ever" Atemu could only look on stunned. If it wasn't for Yugi
and his barrier. They would have been dead long ago. And this is how
they treat him? Atemu gave him a shoulder to lean on. He smiled
gratefully at him. And the look in his eye's told Atemu some of how
he had missed him. They went back to the waiting two outside. Kaiba
came forward when he saw Yugi.
"Damn Dogan. Are you ok?"
"I
will be after some sleep. Don't worry. How is Mokuba?"
"Awake.
Thanks to you…Thank you Yugi" Kaiba embraced the fellow
dueller.
"Your welcome. Now you had best be getting back to that
brother of yours. Tell him I will come and see him later"
"You'd
better. And you had better sleep also" Yugi nodded in reply. The
friends took Yugi back to his room. Atemu gently laid him down on the
bed. Kuriboh cuddled up next to him, keening softly, as if he knew
the pain Yugi was in. Yugi let out a great sigh. And his muscles
relaxed.
"We'll see ya later Yug. Ok?"
"Sure guy's.
But be careful, don't let Dogan see that you have helped me
ok?"
"Ok bud" Anzu came over and kissed Yugi on the forehead
and followed Jou from the room. Leaving Just Atemu and Yugi in the
room.
Atemu came to sit by his aibou. He stroked the bangs from
the teens face, amethyst locked on crimson, the amethyst misted by
tears
"I've missed you Mou hitori no boku," The teen said,
tears beging to fall. Atemu opened his arms for the teen, Yugi took
the offer gratefully, he had not cried. Even when his Jii-chan had
been slain. There hadn't been time. Atemu leaned against the head
of the bed. Yugi sobbing into his chest. He talked to him, of nothing
really, just words of comfort.
"Hush Aibou, it's ok. I have
missed you too. Hush now. Sleep. I'll be here" Atemu felt Yugi
fall to sleep, Atemu laid him down on the pillows then lay beside
him. Yugi unconsciously cuddled up to him. There they
slept,……
KITG: well there you go. Now I am off for a
shower. I have angel delight all over me
Yami seirei: why do you
have Angel delight all over you?
KITG: because……it turned into
an angel delight war when Yugi found some….Oh Ra…there coming
back RUN KITG and Yami seirei run off very fast
