SHUT IT, ALREADY!

Yami's Pov~
I couldn't move, my body seemed to have gone numb along with my mind. Trying to think of an answer was like attempting to to find a certain shadow in pitch darkness. My mind was so hazy, everything seemed like walking through a dream... or a nightmare. Yet this feeling momenterially let me be free of the weight of my decesion, that was untill the voice asked again. Bringing me back to harsh reality.
"What's your choice, pharoah? Are you going to take your turn or give up?" Bakura questioned me again like it was the simplest thing to answer in the world.
I didn't answer, I couldn't answer. I knew I had to get the lead in this game or the whole world could be in peril, but I couldn't risk hurting Yugi. When you think of it it's so ironic that I can protect him from just about everything, except myself.
"Make your move, pharoah. If you don't choose in one minute you will atomatically lose and who wants that?" Bakura threatened me tauntingly, yet I still couldn't answer. My eyes darted between my dear friend then to the game board. It was impossible to choose, though I knew I would have to or let the chose be made for me. I wouldn't take that risk, I was going to quit.
"Bakura, I can't-"
"Wait! Don't quit, Yami!" Yugi shouted before I could finish.
"Yugi, I can't duel. You could be severly injured or worse...and I can't take that risk. Especially in this shadow realm." I answered back, as I could already see the strain in Yugi's face from him being out of that shadow box for so long.
"Yami, you have to attack. Think of it. You would be helping more if you did duel! If you do duel, there is only a chance I will be harmed plus you could gain some points. If you don't, you will definatly lose then I would be left with Bakura, without you to help me. With this, can't you see how much better it would be to just duel?" Yugi countered me with knowledge I knew was true. He looked worried, yet determed to get me to duel.
Yugi was right about the choice being the better choice for me, but dueling against would cost much more heart ache.
Yugi, I know what I have to do know. I silently thought to myself, somehow hoping that Yugi would get my message through Bakura's control of our mindlink.
"Bakura, I'll duel." I stated, with all the pure determination I could put into my voice. Bakura looked slightly angry plus shocked at my answer untill he regained his calm face.
"Well, you chose to duel then go ahead and see what fate deals you." Bakura said with a sneer. I ignored him then shakily hovered my hand over the board. Some part of me wanted this card to be a plus while another part of me wanted Yugi to be unharmed.
My hand hovered for some seconds, when I looked towards Yugi that stared back with understanding. This gave the strength to pick my card, I lifted it up to show everyone. The card gave me the feeling of hopefullnes mixed with dread.
"It's a monster card." Bakura stated then began chuckling darkly as a shadow shot straight toward Yugi.
"YUGI!" I shouted, almost running to him, if the shadows hadn't held me back. I heard a shout of pain come from Yugi, as the shadow hit his target. The whips of smoke cleared to reveal his crupled form on the ground.
"Yugi, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it!" I wanted so badly to help him, knowing it was my fault.
"I guess you got what you wanted, pharoah. Just like you to get what you want by destroying innocent lives for your own sake." Bakura erupted with cruel laughter, as he brought me down.
The shadows were curling around Yugi's almost completely limp body. I nearly yelled to him how sorry I was when a small voice spoke up.
"It-it's not your fault... You did the right thing, Yami. I don't blame y-you." Yugi stuttered weakly, still be dragged away. Barely lifting his head to let me know he was alright, before he was completely pulled into the shadow box. For his sacrifice I vowed to make the one who started this all pay.
"So you made a move. I didn't know you were that heartless. Who knew the caring pharoah would hurt his own host." Bakura said in a mocking manner of tone.
"Be silent! You know that you would harm Ryou for your own gain, but unlike you I never wanted to hurt Yugi." I snapped back at Bakura. I was going to force him to see my rage and the only thing I deemed fit for it, was beating him in this duel.
"I honestly don't care what you say, pharoah. Though, if you want to argue let me show my point of view." Bakura said with a boasting air surrounding him. Leaving to wonder if I didn't care what he said anymore either.
Bakura seemed to slowly pick his card that could very well bring my doom, yet at the same time I felt like a weight had been lifted. It seemed that everyone, no matter where was cheering me on, to bring light back into my eyes.
"Even the shadows that surround me seem to shrink smaller, as my own light began to glow."~
Bakura's Pov~
"I can't believe that didn't work." I stormed this thought in my head angrily.
It had seemed the, pharoah, was going to give up when his annoying host had to step in. Now he would have a chance to acctually win this game.
"It's not time to worry yet. Just because he was still in this game doesn't mean he has any higher chance of winning than before. The score is still three positive points for me, but one plus and one negative point for the pharoah." Even with this knowledge it seemed that the chances had changed. It seemed the pharoah had gain some sort of power, like some sort of goal he had to achieve.
"What's taking you so long, Bakura? Your not afraid of losing are you?" The pharoah taunted me with that stupid, trademark smile.
"You'll see whose afraid of losing with this card!" I pulled a card at random and lifted it up show him.
"Well, it seems you would be the one that is scared losing, judging from that card." The pharoah stated boldly, causing me to flip the card in my hand imediately.
What I got was one large suprise, that I couldn't help showing on face.
"This card, it's a trap card." I stated in pure disbelief.
"Then I guess you get your first negative." The pharoah said mokingly, as he studied the board for a card to pick.
"How dare he. I'm wont let him win after all this time of waiting. I refuse to wait any longer, this is my revenge. This revenge I will have."~
Regular Pov~
The game was played harshly from both sides. Each person was determined to win. It seemed no one would back down untill the other was completely destroyed.
"Are you becoming worried yet?" Yami asked with his usual air of confidence, even though the strain of the shadow realm was taking their toll on him. So far the score was twelve points and seven negatives for the pharoah wile Bakura had fourteen points and nine negatives.
"I'm not worried at all, how about you?" Bakura questioned boastingly, but he was also felling the strain of the shadow realm. He may have hid it well, yet Bakura knew that the pharoah was making a strong comeback.
"Same here, Bakura." Yami answered as Bakura took his turn. Bakura quickly examined the cards on the board then snatched on off, lifting it up to show Yami. Yami said nothing, but smirked.
"Why are you so happy?" Bakura asked, before he turned the card in his direction to observe a trap card in his hand.
"I see." Bakura muttered, as some of his energy drained away from the negative. He refused to show his hiddne worried from now having ten negatives, for four more could lead to his downfall.
Yami either ignored the strain or also hid it for he hadn't even broke out a sweat yet.
"This game is becoming harder, as we get deeper into it." Yami noted to himself as he observed the cards on each side. Though he tried to push it to the back of his mind, he couldn't help to worry about Yugi and Ryou. There was no way to tell how they were and he wouldn't be assured untill he saw them himself.
"Make your move already, pharoah." Bakura barked at Yami, though Yami could have sworn he senced a hint of tiredness edging into Bakura's voice.
"Very well." Yami answered, masking his voice to show any weakness in his voice. Bakura showed nothing as he waited for Yami to take his turn.
"I guess I'll choose this-" The pharoah stopped his hand mid thought when he saw a faint glow come from a card on Bakura's side.
"What?" Yami wondered to himself as he pondered on the strange card.
"Why is this card glowing? Could this be the card Bakura was talking about?" Yami attempted to remember what Bakura had said.
"The next card though would cost you to lose it all, forcing an instant lost. This card would be any spell card that you happen to pick. Being more likely that you will pick a spell card than the one Swords of Revealing Light." Bakura had said himself that he hid two cards in the game that could either make the finder win it all or lose it all.
"Can this be the card?" The pharoah muttered to himself out loud.
"Hey, pharoah. You don't have all day, you know?" Bakura brought him out of his thoughts, wondering why the pharoah was taking longer than he was before.
Yami knew he had to pick quick or he would forfit the game, but he also wondered if this was a trap.
Yami let out a sigh before letting on thought out as he catiously began lifting card up, that seemed to glow brighter as he came in contact with it.
"Please, let the Heart of the Cards be guiding me." That was all Yami could think as the card in his hand rose for all to see.~
