Chapter 3: Things Get Deadly

After hours of planning and dealing with two idiotic psychos , they had made no progress. Some wanted to kill Yugi, some went for imprisonment, others thought to help him and make him change to become good once more, and then two psychos thought it would be best to come up with the most sadistic way possible to deal with him. The idea had almost made Yami regret even recruiting them to help. And let's just say it involved knifes, shadow magic, blood, carving, stabbing, more blood, a whip, chains, and need I say more? They very quickly dismissed the idea leaving two disappointed psychopaths.

Gods what was he thinking blackmailing those idiots..

Yugi was having too much fun. He woke up and turned on the news to see the damage he inflicted yesterday with the random killings. /174 deaths.. Could do better/ the city was in absolute panic and the police completely baffled. The people had been random with no health problems, poisoning, attack wounds, or anything that may of killed them on them. Many were now evacuating the city while some stayed. About a city of 6000 reduced to 50 almost overnight must of been a record.

Well at least his friends didn't leave, but if they did it would be such a fun game.. Oh well, they didn't play their pieces right like he did. Well guess it was time to go say hi to Duke. Oh,he had such a wonderful idea for him.. So much fun it should be illegal. Oh wait, it was. He gave off a dark chuckle and vanished in a purple smoke.

He reappeared wearing his black outfit inside of Duke's bedroom. He cast a silencing spell on the room then in the hallway made an illusion of a thief sure to catch Dukes attention. Sure enough he heard Duke yell and two pairs of feet run up. He didn't need the second so he killed her and made it seem like the robber shot her. Duke continued and ran into his room searching for the robber.

Yugi walked out of the shadows and cleared his throat. Duke spun around and glared at him. Yugi just chuckled at the sight.

"Hello" he greeted.

"What the hell! You thief!"

"Me a thief? Isn't that Bakura's job?" Duke's eyes widened.

"How the hell do you know about him?"

"Oh I do my research, I've been watching all of your adventures, every last one."

"Really? Then do tell"

"With Yugi it started with Yugi and Kaiba, then Pegasus, Rebecca, you, big five, battle city, Noah, KC Grand Prix, Alexander, memory world and the ceremonial duel. Did I miss anything?"

Duke stood open mouthed and shook his head.

"Who are you?"

"I am shadows. And you are next."

"Yeah right! You've been torturing my friends and I won't stand for that!"

"Oh really? You seemed fine with it before." Hate and disgust laced in his words.

"What do you mean?" Duke was utterly confused about the statement.

"I'm hurt. You don't remember. But I guess while you spend your last hours in agony,you can think about it."

Yugi took a step forward and Duke got into a defensive position.

"We can't have any of that can we?" Tendrils of shadows latched onto Duke's arms an legs holding him still. "You know the shadows have been eager to torture someone on their own and not just watch me.. They've been so good lately I think I should reward them.. How about your soul? They love new souls to feed on."

Duke's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates before frantically shaking his head no and muttering nonsense. Yugi, with a flick of his wrist allowed the shadows to attack. The shadows began cutting, burning, tearing, stabbing, anything to amuse themselves while Yugi sat on the bed with a maniacal smile on his face. Duke screamed and cried, but it only encouraged the shadows more. The thing was that it was all an illusion. The blood and wounds were fake, but the pain caused by them would most certainly be real.

Finally ,Yugi gave the order to kill him, seeing how the shadows were growing bored and so was he. His death was quick and virtually painless. Most of the pain had been from the torture. He let out a malicious laugh then vanished into the shadows./Time to pay grandpa a visit and give Kaiba a gift./

In the afterlife,the bickering continued nonstop and Yami was this close to exploding and telling them all to shut up. His headache continued to worsen as the council and psychos argue. The council wanted this, psychos wanted that. For all he cared they could do whatever they liked as long as they didn't hurt his aibou. Strange how love works huh. You think you know someone then they go on a rampage trying to murder everyone..

Suddenly a white light flooded the throne room. When it died down a fearfully Duke was there shaking uncontrollably.

"Duke?" Yami asked.

Duke turned his head and his eyes widened.

"Yami? Oh god I'm dead,aren't I!" he cried.

"Yes? Duke, how did you die?"

"T-This guy had shadow magic! And and they tortured me f-for hours before the guy did this signal and here I am!"

Yami's eyes grew wide at the mention of shadow magic as did everyone else's.

"But I thought we sealed away the shadow magic!" Yami objected.

"Man kids a genius!" Bakura explained.

"I know! Man if we didn't have to be blackmailed into this I would defiantly side with him!" Marik thought out loud.

"Yes but if you did the whole afterlife would know of your secret." Yami glared/smirked at them. Both gulped and instantly shut up.

"So we know we might be mind f***ed. Great I always wanted to die again!" Bakura rolled his eyes.

"Oh haha, remember your hikari is at risk too." Yami informed. Bakura's eyes grew wide before a look of hate crossed his features.

"I'll kill him!" Bakura growled.

"We're not killing my hikari!" Yami snarled.

"Well I'm not gonna let him kill mine!" Bakura shouted back.

"Um who are we talking about" Duke asked feeling left out.

"Yugi, he's the one doing this." Yami explained.

"Him? He-" Duke started looking at him like he was crazy. His eyes became cold and deadly which could put Kaiba's glare to shame and his voice low and deadly. Most of his priests have been luck enough to see him in his calm anger mode and were getting shivers down their spine even though it wasn't directed at them. Even Bakura and Marik were cringing under the look.

"Yes him. And I would be wary of what you say about him.. As I recall it was you and our so called friends who did this to him.." Yami calmly told Duke.

Duke, who was scared stiff under the glare could simply nod his head slightly.

"I still say we kill him." Bakura broke the silence.

"We're not killing him!" Yami yelled before storming off down the halls to his room.

Yugi was standing outside of the Kame Game Shop. His old home where he could once get away from the cruel world around him. Where his parents couldn't beat him, where bullies wouldn't tease him, and where someone had actually cared for him once. Key word once.

He walked into his old house wearing his black clothing. The old man at the counter hadn't noticed his arrival, perfect.

"Long time no see." He greeted calmly though inside he just wanted to kill the man there and now. His grandpa looked up and a glare crossed his face.

"Who are you and what to you want." He demanded.

"Shadows. And for what I want would be you dead."

"You're the person who's been killing everyone!"

"Oh they were just unfortunate people. Wrong place,wrong time. My score lies much closer than them. They were merely distractions to throw off my trail..."

"You're mad!"

"Really? I believe my brain is quite fine. But what about yours?" Yugi made several terrifying illusions appear giving the old man a heart attack. "Have fun."

Yugi walked out with a bag in hand and regular cloths on making it look like he was merely shopping. And remembered it was time to give Kaiba his gift on the website.

Vanishing and reappearing at his apartment he pulled up a laptop and started typing. First he made it so his signal was blocked so his location was unknown. Next he broke though all the firewalls and security in the KaibaCorp website before getting to work. He took a picture of a bloody Blue-Eyes White Dragon and a message. 'Two dead, two in a hospital and guess who gets to join Tea and Mokuba next! That's right Seto Kaiba, you're next.'

He began laughing insanely and shut the laptop before plotting how to get Kaiba. Blood would be nice, but then that could end it too quickly and that's not fun.. But maybe some illusions would be nice.. Make him, the ruthless Seto Kaiba cry out for mercy with tears in his eyes. Yugi's eyes got a psychotic glint to them as he laughed once more.

AN: With the end of this chapter starts my part of the story. Hope you guys will enjoy! With what was left to theorize from the story,I had made 2 summaries in a notebook for chapters 4 and 5. My writing inspiration sparked when I was drawing, and with some Tumblr AU/writing prompts! Hope you will enjoy what comes next. Hopefully is never too late to finish a story.
