CONQUERING LOVE WHEN LOVE IS NOT WANTED
CHAPTER 14
Kanatasha: I re-wrote this cause it wasn't getting any reviews. Hopefully this one will though. Please review!
... When someone thinks to themself
Derik sighed as he flicked the butt of his cigarette into the street. Leaning against the building, he starred up at the coal-grey sky. A sense of sad-happiness swarm through him. As if that was possible. Rustling his fingers through his hair, he stopped mid-way remembering that this wasn't actually his own hair. Looking down at his hands, Derik starred at them as if studying the structure of them. For a moment the thought of whose hands these were had crossed his mind. But only for a moment. What should he care whose hands, hair, or body this once was? It was his now. And he was going to use it to extract his revenge. He smiled lightly to himself as he glanced at the dim glow of light coming from the basement window. There was still so much to do and yet very little time. I'm surprised he survived as long as he has Derik thought to himself as took off down the street towards the diner. Oh well, it's makes my fun last longer. But first time to get some grub.
WITHIN THE DARKNESS
He laughed to himself even though there was nothing funny about the situation. The laugh was a cold and empty one.
"I have missed this feeling!"
Looking on into the darkness, swirls of light began to form in front of him until an image appeared. Looking in he smiled his eyes sparkling as he looked to see a small boy chained to the wall.
"Yessssss! Beg for you death so that I may play with you!"
THE BASEMENT
Yesssss! Beg for your death so that I may play with you!
These words echoed through Yugi's head as he looked on in bewilderment.
"Yami? Yami is that you?"
Yugi asked in a frantic desperation. But his question received no reply. The young boy sighed and leaned back.
"Stop it Yugi! Yami is gone and he is never coming back! If you hadn't been so stupid!"
New tears, ones that he didn't think he had rolled down his dirty cheeks leaving a smudge streak.
"It's all my fault."
In frustration, Yugi kicked at the ground. As he did, a sudden shot of pain rendered up his leg. He cried out in pain before looking down at his foot. There, a piece of glass was stuck in his foot. It was a fairly good size. Sharp and jagged. Prying the piece from his foot, Yugi starred at the piece watching as the blood dripped down to the floor. Slowly he took the piece, grasping it firmly and placed it under his chin.
"I can't wait. Father won't let me die."
With that he forced the piece of glass into his throat. Yugi gasped as he fell to the floor, the blood pouring from his wound. He looked on his eyes growing blank as fear set into them.
"Yami..."
Were his last words before his world turned to darkness.
MARIK'S HOUSE
The house was in a complete rumble as books and chairs flew over head as four bewildered boys struggled to find an answer.
"Damn it tomb robber where the hell is that book!"
"Why don't you ask your worm of a partner you ingrate!"
The frustration grew as the minutes dragged on. For the answer to their question was just another question with no answer.
"AHHH! I'm going to find my sister!"
Malik finally cried out inches from pulling the hair out of his head.
Bakura looked over at the "hikari" version of Marik and sneered.
"Why do you need a woman's help? Can't do it by yourself baby?"
"You idiot! My sister and I both protected the pharaoh's tomb she'll be able to help us figure this out!"
Rolling his eyes in frustration, Malik grabbed his jacket from the floor.
"Marik…..I'll be back later alright? Keep trying to find the answer….you know……just in case."
Marik looked on at his hikari and slowly nodded his head before looking down again at the book before him.
"I'll go with you!"
Ryou replied meekly from the corner.
"With two of us, finding your sister should be a breeze."
"Fine! Fine! Whatever lets just go alright!"
Grabbing his jacket, Ryou hurried after Marik secretly glad to be getting away from the chaos and his deranged yami.
"So where do we look?
"The museum."
WITHIN THE DARKNESS
His lips curled into a sneer as the form slowly began to make shape. His fingers clawed at the ground in anticipation to touch the soft skin.
"Hurry!"
He softly spoke growing impatient as the smoke began to wither away.
Yugi slowly opened his eyes. At first he was bewildered. He did not know where he was. All he could see was darkness.
"H…h..hello? Is anyone there?"
A hand reached out touching his face. Yugi cried out in alarm, cringing away from the touch.
"Don't be afraid little one"
He replied in the sweetest voice he could stomach.
Yugi's eyes lit up in disbelief, cringing his eyes, he looked on in to the darkness.
"Yami! Yami is that you?"
"Yes Yugi."
Yami replied, his face smiling as he looked down at him.
"It is."
"Yami…….."
Yugi replied, his lips quivering as he leaped at Yami, holding him tightly.
"I've finally found you!"
"Yes…..yes you have. And now the fun will really begin!"
Yami replied, a sneer on his face as his eyes gleamed with the darkness.
Yugi looked up into Yami's eyes, studying them closely, his eyes watering as his lips quivered slightly.
"Little one...what is the matter?"
Yami asked him as he looked down at him turning his sneer quickly into a confused look of worry.
"Nothing."
Yugi replied as he wiped the tears from his eyes.
"I'm just trying to make sure this isn't a dream. You really are here aren't you?"
Taking him into his arms, Yami rocked gently with Yugi in his arms, gently massaging the base of his neck.
"Yes...I'm here little one. I swear to never leave you again."
THE MUSEUM: OUTSIDE
Leaning against on of the giant pillars that held up the front stucture of the museum, Ryou impatiently drummed his fingers as he glanced every now and then at the enterence to the museum. The museum had been closed for the past three days due to a new exhibit that was being set. Naturally, since Malik's sister was a part of the museum committee, he was allowed to enter. At any other given time, Ryou would of felt a twinge of jealousy.
But now's not the time
He kept telling himself even thought images of what the exihibit might be kept racing through his head.
THE MUSEUM: INSIDE
"Sister please! You must help me!"
Malik pleaded as he followed Isis around as she monitored the artifacts of the museum, writing down on a clipboard every now and then.
Damn it! Why won't you listen to me? Yugi is in danger! Yami..."
Has already turned back to the world of darkness. To the corner of the millenium puzzle that nearly stolen his insanity."
Isis replied, as she turned to look at Malik.
"There is nothing that we can do dear brother. This is the course that the gods have set. It can not be changed."
"No! NO! I don't believe that! There has got to be a way! Get to your books! Research! Find anything that can help!"
Malik replied clutching his fist tightly, shaking slightly until he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"There is no research or book or magic spell that will be able to help. Only the light can cure the darkness."
Malik looked to his sister, frowning as he watched her walk away from him, returning to her duty of checking over the artifacts.
"What does that mean?"
But he recieved no answer as Isis turned the corner, disappearing from his view. Feeling more frustration settle in, Malik sighed as he turned for the exit.
THE MUSEUM: OUTSIDE
Hearing the small ding of the door, Ryou looked up before racing to the top.
"So what did you find out? Could she help us? Is she researching? Does she have any clue as to how..."
Malik raised his hand to gesture Ryou to be quiet, who took the hint right away.
"Isis will not help us."
"But wh..."
"She says that this is the work of the gods and that we can not meddle."
Letting out a small snort, Ryou looked up at the museum as if it was Isis herself
"Thats a load of rubish!"
Looking at the museum as well, Malik slowly shoke his head, feeling as if he was sending his best friend to the gallows.
"No...I think she's right."
"Malik you can't possible think of just forgetting about Yugi and Yami! They are our friends!"
"I know...but what can we do?"
Shaking his head again, Malik turned to Ryou.
"She also told me that only the light can cure the darkness"
"Bloody hell? What is that suppose to mean?"
"I'm not sure but I think she means to leave everything to Yugi and Yami."
Sighing in frustration, Ryou ran his fingers through his hair.
"So that's it? Just give up and leave it to them?"
Malik slowly nodded his head, turned and walked down the steps slowly as if by some miracle the answer would fall in front of him but knew it never would.
"Lets go tell the others"
WITHIN THE DARKNESS
Slowly the rocking began to speed up as Yami continued to rub Yugi's neck, putting a little bit of force each time.
"That's right...I'm here little one. I'll never leave you."
Yugi began to wince from the discomfort of the massage and tried to pull away.
"Yami...please let go...your starting to hurt me."
Yami ignored him and continued to rock and massage.
"And the thing you said about hoping this isn't a dream? Well your right...this isn't a dream."
Yami replied as he quickly stopped rocking and grabbed the back of Yugi's neck, squeezing hard, forcing his head back to look at him.
"It's not a dream...It's a nightmare!"
Yugi's eyes widened in disbelief as pain shot through his neck as he was forced to look back at Yami. He swallowed hard as he felt new tears swarming into his eyes.
"Please...no..."
