The fourth chapter of The Demon Within Season One is now underway! It seems that Aknadin has released a new part of Yami that was never revealed. What is it, and what will happen as the others find out about Yugi's death? And how did the demon come to be? Read on, and find out!
Disclaimer: I own nothing but the story and my OC. Thank you.
The demon bowed before Aknadin, two pointed fangs appearing as the creature smiled wickedly. The former priest bowed back, and stared down at Yugi's blood-stained body.
"Dear, dear, what a pity for such a loss," he muttered, turning the boy's head to the left, the eyes glassy and rolled upward. "Still, it helps to kill the innocent, does it, my demon friend?" Demon Yami continued to stare down at the body, but then spoke in an eerie, raspy voice.
(When the writing is like this in this fic, it means that Demon Yami is speaking.)
"Yes, it is a shame to kill an innocent," he rasped, his previous grin spreading from ear to ear. "Still, it pays to have a good drink of pure blood every once in a while." Bending down to the body, Demon Yami suddenly began to twitch violently, as though having a seizure. Yami then appeared in the demon's place, his eyes full of tears.
"I forgot that your new demon side doesn't like the sunlight," Aknadin muttered, standing up from the pavement. "He only comes at night. Farewell until then, Pharaoh." With that, Aknadin disappeared into a cloud of black smoke. Loud footsteps were heard behind the stricken king, and Brian, Tea, Kairi, and Joey appeared, all of them staring down at their friend's body. Joey, filled with rage, took hold of Yami's jacket collar.
"You bring him back, or else I'll kill you!" he roared, shaking the Pharaoh violently.
"Joey, stop!" Tea yelled, taking hold of the blonde's arm, but he pushed her away. She was about to try again when Brian stopped her.
"It's no use," he whispered. "He won't ever forgive the Pharaoh for this, now that the King of Games is gone." Tears began to fill their eyes as Joey began to repeatedly punch Yami in the face, one of the blows on his left eye.
"Enough, Wheeler," Kairi hissed, pulling him back, causing him to land on the pavement, hard. He stood up, growled, and stormed off, leaving the others to comfort the distraught king.
Deep in his mind, Demon Yami lay curled up, his red eyes closed as though in thought. I must contain complete control of this fool's body, he thought, his eyes suddenly snapping open. I know just what to do. All around the demon was dark, deepening shadows that weaved in and out of the labyrinth of the Millennium Puzzle. A cold, evil laugh echoed throughout the maze as Demon Yami stood up, a small trickle of blood falling to the floor like a red raindrop.
What is Demon Yami's plan? And will Joey ever forgive Yami for his mistake? Find out in chapter five, Murder and Capture.
