YU-GI-OH!

CONQUERING LOVE WHEN LOVE IS NOT WANTED

CHAPTER 15

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN YU-GI-OH! DEREK, HOWEVER, UNFORTUNATLY BELONGS TO ME. (SIGHS SADLY) ANYONE WANT HIM?

"Who does that bloody woman think she is? We are suppose to sit her and twiddle our thumbs while that baka na pharoah and his little gimp figure a way out of this? Is she insane?"

Bakura paced the floor while rampaging, kicking books and papers about the floor after Malik and Ryou had returned and delivered the news.

"I know what this is! That bit..."

But the profanity was not completed as a fist swung out and connected with Bakura's face, sending him to the ground. Rubbing his nose, he looked up perlexed and pissed.

"What the hell?"

"Don't you EVER talk about MY sister that way!"

Malik replied, shaking the sting from his fist.

Letting out a low growl, Bakura was quickly at his feet.

"You're gonna pay for that you worm!"

Just realizing what he had done, Malik looked on like a deer caught in a headlight.

Shit

Was all he could think of as he quickly backed up from Bakura as he made his way towards him.

"You are dead you little ass!"

Marik watched a bit amused before stepping in.

"Lay a hand on my hikari and you will regret it Tomb Robber!"

Bakura growled knowing he was at a disadvantage.

"Alright but if your hikari tries that again his ass is mine!"

Marik sighed frustrated

"Fine! Fine!"

"Now what?"

Ryou asked finally speaking up.

All four, the two yamis and the two hikaris looked at each other knowing the answer but not liking it. Now they had to wait

WITHIN THE DARKNESS

"What is wrong little one? Are you not happy to see me?"

Yami asked with a sneer as he squeezed Yugi's neck, causing the boy to flinch in pain.

"Y...y...yami...please..."

"Y...y...yami...please!"

Yami replied, mimicking Yugi. I almost forgot how weak you were Yugi. How...childish you can be.

"Y...yami...why...why are you doing this?"

Yugi pleaded as he scrunched his shoulders to his neck in hopes of forcing Yami to release his grip on him. Yami laughed, an almost cruel yet depressing laugh as he in turn added more pressure to the teen's neck, causing him to flinch.

"What does my name mean Yugi?"

"D...d...darkness..."

Yugi muttered out barely able to keep from crying out from the pain. His head was starting to feel fuzzy.

"That's correct my oh so smart little one. And can you tell me WHAT does darkness mean?"

"It...it...means..."

"It means the opposite of light. In simple terms, it means I'm evil."

"No! Yami! You're not evil!"

Yugi quickly replied, shaking his head.

"Then why was I born in darkness?"

Yami spat, hatred, fear, lonelyness and jealousy swiming in his eyes.

"While you...YOU were born in a safe, happy, secure enviroment."

Irritated with the boy before him, Yami pulled his fist back and punched Yugi in the face, drawing blood. He smirked lightly, expecting to hear a cry or plead. But to his amazement, he heard laughter. Not one of those funny ha-ha laughters but a dry, there's no more hope laughter. He looked down at Yugi, perlexed as his other self, wiped the blood from his face.

"Do you honestly think I had it so easy Yami?"

Yugi asked, subconsciencly drawing circles in the floor, not daring to look up.

"My mother died when I was young. Because I was selfish. My father use to beat and rape me every chance he could for punishment for being selfish. I was then thrown from one orphange to another like a piece of garbage because someone found out about my father. I didn't get to live with my grandfather unil three years later. Simply because I didn't know I HAD a grandfather at the time. Grandmother had dishoned my mother for marrying my father, and grandpa, stood by grandma's side. It took me forever to realize I was in a safe, happy, secure enviroment. But that was only inside of the home. Outside, I was consently beaten. Sometimes nearly to death by bullies. And occasionly raped by the same bastards. I was betrayed by two people who I thought were my friends, my best friend won't talk to me anymore and the only man I loved has forgotten."

Yugi looked up at Yami, frowning, tears streaming down his face.

"And you think...I had it easy? No one has it easy Yami."

Yami starred off into space, half believing what Yugi had told him. He closed his eyes, feeling his head beginning to explode. All of this was confusing him. He desperatly wanted to hurt this boy. Yet at the same time, he felt pity. And who would in their right mind, even think about hurting someone because they pityed them? This was beginning to be too much.

"It's a lie."

He finally replied, frowning, wondering who he was trying to convince.

"It's a lie."

Yugi shook his head sadly.

"I wish it had been. I wish it was."

"Then if what you say is true, then why..."

"Why haven't I ever told you?"

Yugi replied, finninshing Yami's question, a sad smile on his face.

"I don't really know. I guess cause I didn't want you to worry. Because I thought I could handle it. Or maybe it was because I couldn't handle it and didn't want to talk about it. I just don't know Yami."

"Or maybe it's because you're too stupid."

Yugi and Yami looked up startled as a third voice had joined in on their conversation.

"Who's there?"

Yami demanded, putting an arm around Yugi. Looking down at the boy, he frowned wondering why he had done that and quickly let go.

"Yes...yes...that's it. My son was just to stupid and scared to deal with the problem himself. So he ran and hid like the coward he is."

Hearing that voice, those words, Yugi's face turned to ash stone. He backed up, shaking his head muttering under his breath. The fear of Ra in his eyes.

"No...you...you can't be here! It's not possible...this is OUR place. OURS! You...you...you...don't exist here!"

Yugi's father stepped foward, a devilish grin on his face.

"Hmmm...I'm not real you say? Then I suppose this isn't either?"

What happened next took only a few minutes, but to those in that room, a few minutes felt like a lifetime. Derek, reached behind his back and pulled out a small hand gun from the small space between his shirt and his jeans. He raised it at his son, a smile still on his face. Slowly squeezing the trigger, taking no mind to other person who looked almost like his son. Yugi stood where he was frozen in his spot. Not realizing what he was doing, Yami lept at Derek, trying to pry the gun from his hands. The two put up a hassle, rolling around on the ground, throwing punches at each other. The fight had brought Yugi to his senses. He watched as Yami and Derek fought for control of the gun. Neither one of them giving any ale of giving up. It continued on like this until a loud BANG echoed through out the room causing everyone to stop dead in their tracks. Yami and Derek looked down at each other, checking for a bullet wound. Finding none, they simutanously turned to Yugi. Yugi looked on at them, a sad smile on his face as he removed his hand from his stomach, showing a blood-stained hand. A tear rolled down his face as he felt his body grow cold and his world becoming dark. He heard laughter and someone screaming his name before darkness engulfed him.
