It has been two weeks since the murders of Malik and Rishid. Yugi and Jounouchi have been on a desperate search to find Ishizu ever since they found out about Malik and Rishid's deaths. They secretly expected the worse, but never spoke of this out loud. Finally, as Yugi looked through the morning paper, he saw an article that caught his eye: Injured Girl Finally Wakes up from Coma. Yugi scrambles to the phone in order to call Jounouchi.
"Hello?"
"Jounouchi! I think I know where Ishizu is! Meet me at the Domino City hospital right away!"
"Okay."
Back at the hospital, Ishizu is finally awake, but feels very weak. The police have already began to ask her questions, but every time they ask her who was her attacker, all she says is that it was a demon. The police have left and will question her another day. Ishizu was about to fall asleep when a nurse gently knocked on the door.
"Come in."
"Ms. Ishtar, I am sorry to bother you, but someone is here to see you. He says that he is a good friend of yours and that his name is Yugi. Do you want me to send him away?"
"No, please may I see him? He is one of my good friends. I need some light in my life right now. Please..."
"Of course Ms. Ishtar. You can come on in sir."
Ishizu smiled slightly. So much has happened to her recently; her family has been taken away from her in the blink of an eye and she might even loose her own life soon, so seeing Yugi's innocent smile will hopefully ease her pain. She heard the door close and strained her neck to look at her friend.
"Hey Yugi...it is great to..."
Her eyes widened. She started to tremble violently and the heart rate monitor began to beep at the sudden jump in her heart rate. She began to cry and gasp intensely.
"Hello Ishizu. Surprised to see me?"
She was starring once again in to the eyes of a demon. He held a knife in his right hand and was smiling slyly. She tried to speak, but nothing came out.
"Oh please Ishizu, please don't say anything on my account. You have already suffered enough, you know, with the deaths of your brothers and all. I shouldn't make you suffer anymore."
Ishizu tried to scream for her life, but before she could let out a sound, Bakura lunged the knife into her eye socket. The wound began to bleed heavily as the heart rate monitor quickly dropped to zero. The nurse who brought him into the room rushed into the room and started screaming.
"What are you doing? You just killed that poor girl!"
Bakura quickly grabbed her and held her tightly. He brought her face close to his and looked into her eyes. She was shaking with fear and couldn't breathe.
"Tell me woman. What do you see when you look into my eyes?"
"I see...someone...with no...soul. Please. Please don't hurt me."
"I am sorry I have to do this. You were here just at the wrong time."
"Please!" the nurse screamed.
Bakura swiftly lunged the knife into her throat. The nurse gasped her last bloody breath and slumped to the ground. Bakura began to laugh.
"Finally I could shut that bitch up."
He casually walked out of the room and walked out of the hospital without anyone noticing, smiling at the job that he had just done. Yugi and Jounouchi ran into the hospital a few minutes later and ran over to the front counter.
"Excuse me, but we need to see Ishizu Ishtar right away!"
"And who might you be sir?"
"I'm Yugi Mutou. I am a friend of Ishizu's. And so is this man right here. Please can we see her!"
"Your name is Yugi? That is odd, she must have a couple of friends named Yugi."
"What are you talking about?"
"Another man named Yugi wanted to see Ishizu too. He said it was important. I will go take you guys to see her now if you want."
Jounouchi and Yugi looked at each other in a panic. They followed the nurse carefully, their hearts racing in fear.
"Here we go. Ms. Ishizu Ishtar is in this room."
As the nurse opened the door, she screamed out in horror at the bloody mess. Her fellow nurse was lying in her own pool of blood and Ishizu's head was pinned down to the hospital bed because of the knife. Yugi fell on to his knees.
"Damn him. Damn him. How could he do this? Now he even killed someone who was not even involved in any of this," Yugi whispered.
"Nurse you have to go call the police!" Jounouchi said frantically.
"Yes of course." the nurse replied as she ran back to the front counter.
"Jounouchi he almost has everyone. There is only you and me left who witnessed the final battle between Atem and I. I am so scared."
"Wait Yugi, we aren't the only ones."
"What?"
"Where is your grandfather?"
Yugi stood up with the sudden realization, "Oh my god, the game shop!"
Yugi and Jounouchi ran out of the hospital before the police arrived and dashed back to the game shop that Yugi's grandfather owned. Back at the shop, Sugoroku Mutou was sweeping up before his shop opened up that day. He suddenly heard the bell on top of his door ring as someone entered the shop.
"I'm sorry, but we don't open up for another hour, I'll be glad to help you than," Sugoroku said as he turned around.
"I believe this cannot wait."
Sugoroku's eyes widened at the sound of the familiar voice, "It's you! What are you doing here? I know you are not Ryou! Your voice sounds too harsh to be that of Ryou's!"
"I'm sorry to say that little Ryou is gone. It's just you and me. Did you miss me while I was gone Sugoroku?"
