The sun shone brightly through the living room window right into Yugi's face. Yugi grunted and rubbed his eyes and tried to turn his head so that he would not see the sun and get some more sleep. He suddenly rose up in shock. He had to leave now so he would not put Mai's life in danger. He looked at the clock to see that it was 7 in the morning. He decided to take a quick shower and than be on his way. He figured Mai would not mind.
He stumbled off the couch and quietly walked towards the bathroom. He shut the door slowly and turned on the water. When it was finally at the perfect temperature, he carefully walked into the warm water and took a deep breath.
"This feels nice." Yugi sighed.
He turned around to let the water run on his multicolored hair. He slightly smiled. This was the most relaxed he felt in awhile. He closed his eyes and took it all in. Suddenly, the texture of the water felt different. He opened his eyes in confusion and looked down at the drain. His eyes widened. A red liquid was swirling around the drain. He felt like gagging, but quickly turned around to turn the shower off, careful to keep his mouth closed so he didn't swallow anything. He cleaned himself quickly with the bath towel and threw the blood soaked towel on the ground and ran into Mai's room.
"Please no. Please no."
He slammed through the door, not caring if he was loud anymore. He could not breath when he saw what had happened inside the bedroom. Blood was everywhere: on the walls, floor, and bed. He did not see Mai's body on the bed. He slowly walked around to the other side of the bed to see Mai's bloody corpse lying on the ground.
"That Mai. She tried to put up a fight didn't she?"
He could only stare at the corpse, but a sudden realization snapped him back into reality.
"Oh my God. He knows where I am."
He walked slowly out of the house, carefully looking at each corner to make sure Bakura was not still in the house. When he was sure Bakura was not in the house anymore, Yugi frantically ran out the door. Tears streamed down his face.
"Mai. I knew I should not of stayed there. I am sorry. It's all my fault. Mai..."
Yugi just kept running until he was once again at the city limits of Domino City. He slowed down to a steady walk when he heard a girl scream behind him.
"Oh my God! Is that blood in that boys hair?"
Yugi put his hand on the back of his head and felt a liquid in his hair. He drew his hand back to see that the liquid was in fact blood. His panic grew.
"Are you okay son? Did you hurt yourself?" a man sincerely asked him.
Thankfully, the blood was only in his hair and no where else on his body, so he could easily put it off as an accident.
"I am fine sir. Thank you. I am just going home now."
"You are going home? But that is the way to the edge of the city. You live over there?"
"Yes..."
"Hey wait I know you! You are Yugi Mutou! Don't you live closer to the center of town?"
Yugi's hands clenched into fists, "I have to go sir."
"Wait! Yugi!" the man called out, but Yugi had already ran off.
A few hours later
Hungry and parched from thirst, the exhaustion was getting to Yugi. He had left Domino City a long time ago, this time not looking back. He had no idea what time it was, but he figured that it was about mid afternoon. A pain in his chest began surfacing and he grabbed his chest as he passed through the next city, not caring about wondering eyes staring at him. His breathing had grown heavier and his pace was merely a slow walk. He wanted to take a break so badly, but he knew if he did, it could mean his death.
"I have to keep going. I need to only last a few hours." Yugi gasped.
The sky grew darker and darker as Yugi just kept walking through cities and suburbs. The pain in his chest grew larger and harder to ignore. He grabbed his skin tight shirt and placed his other hand on his knee. He was so tired and he figured that he was dehydrated.
"I have to keep going!" Yugi pleaded with himself.
He extended an arm forward to try to convince himself to keep walking. He felt his legs slip away from him as he started falling head first on to the pavement. His eyes closed and he felt his last grasp of consciousness slipping as his small body hit the cement.
Yugi slowly revived and felt the cold ground underneath his body. He opened his eyes quickly and sat up. It was nighttime. He had no idea how long he had been out for. He was in a large open room with only a few small windows in it. The moonlight was his only source of light in the room.
"You are finally awake."
Yugi gasped and turned around to see a dark figure in the corner of the room. It was a man that looked very thin and about average height. Yugi was still dazed and thought nothing of the man.
"Where am I?"
"It doesn't matter. Look to your left. I gave you some water. I saw you pass out. It looked like it was from dehydration. Drink up." the unnatural voice pushed.
Yugi, coming to his senses after drinking the water, was suspicious of the voice. He needed to leave.
"Thank you for your kindness. I should be leaving though."
"I am afraid I cannot let you leave." the figure called out, this time very forceful.
"You cannot force me to stay here!" Yugi angrily replied as he began to walk out of the large room.
"Yugi. Yugi. Yugi."
Yugi slowly turned his head around, his blond bangs lightly touched his warm face. Suddenly a pale hand appeared in the moonlight and hurled towards him.
"I got you." Bakura snickered.
Yugi screamed and ran towards another corner of the room. Bakura was too quick for him though. Bakura's thin arms grabbed Yugi's shoulders and slammed him forcefully to the ground. Yugi gasped in pain and started shaking on the ground. Bakura slammed his foot on to Yugi's chest and Yugi yelped out in pain.
"You are so pathetic, you know that? I knew exactly where you were this whole time! That was stupid of you to stay with Mai. You know she didn't have to die right?"
Bakura pushed his foot harder into Yugi's chest. Yugi clasped his hands around Bakura's leg to try to ease the pain.
"You did not have to kill her! I was only going to stay with her one day! She did not witness the final battle Bakura! You did not have to kill her!"
Bakura's demonic smile could be seen glistening in the moonlight and Yugi saw him shrug.
"Guess I just don't like people standing in my way!"
"She was not in your way at all!"
"Shut up!"
Bakura kicked Yugi in the ribs. Yugi gasped and coughed up blood. Bakura rolled Yugi so that his body was facing toward the ceiling and sat on the small boy. Yugi struggled to get Bakura off of him, but it was no use.
"I am going to enjoy this very much Yugi."
Bakura swiftly took out his knife and pressed it into the skin of Yugi's neck. Yugi felt the skin on his neck open up and blood flow down his neck. The blade of the knife glistened in the moonlight. Yugi was scared out of his mind and began pleading with Bakura.
"Please Bakura! You have already done so much to me! Isn't that enough for you?"
"The point of my return was to kill you Yugi Mutou! You are no longer the holder of the Millennium Puzzle so you are no longer useful in this world," Bakura yelled at Yugi while he slashed more deep cuts into him, "Your cries make me so excited Yugi."
"Stop. Please..."
Bakura frowned, "You are making me bored with your pathetic whining. Let's make this a bit more interesting."
"What are you going to do to me?"
Bakura made sure that Yugi could see him in the moonlight and let out a sadistic smile, "This, Yugi Mutou, will be the last face you will ever see."
Bakura pulled the knife behind him and lunged it as hard as he could into Yugi's right eye. Yugi screamed at the intense pain. He tried to free himself from Bakura, but it was no use. Bakura drew back the knife again and lunged it into Yugi's left eye. Yugi once again let out an ear shattering scream. Bakura laughed hard and finally got off of Yugi. Yugi rolled around on the floor, his hands covering his shattered and bleeding eyes.
"Well Yugi. You lost this little game, but I do have one more proposition with you. Stand up!"
The blind boy stood up weakly. Turning his body around to try to find where Bakura was.
"I'm over here Yugi!" Bakura said mockingly.
Yugi finally faced where Bakura was. He was shaking with pain and his eyes were still heavily bleeding. Bakura walked up to Yugi, put the knife in his hand, and walked back to where he stood before.
"This is my proposition," Bakura began, "I have no other weapons. You are the one who is armed. I am just going to stand at a random spot and stay there. If you can find me, you can instantly kill me. And really there is no prize for me because you will find me eventually. So you win either way Yugi! What do you say?"
Yugi felt the blade of the knife between his fingers. He felt the blood all around the knife, his blood. He looked up at Bakura, or where he thought Bakura was, and began to whimper uncontrollably.
"Oh come on Yugi! Don't go down so easily! You have a chance to actually kill me! What do you say?"
Yugi grabbed the knife firmly, but began shaking as he started to stumble forward.
"Come on Yugi...you know you want to..." Bakura snickered.
With blood still streaming down his face, he stopped walking and slumped his shoulders. He grasped the knife firmly in his hand, but turned the blade on to himself. He thrusted the knife into his forehead and slowly laid his hand down next to his body. He stood there for a second, wondering how it came down to this, and than fell to the cold ground. Bakura merely stepped out of the way as Yugi's corpse came crashing down to the ground. The knife was pushed deeper into his skull and a pool of blood already began to form around the body. Bakura let out an ominous laugh and walked out of the room, stepping over Yugi's body to get to the door.
"Goodbye Yugi Mutou. It has been fun." Bakura laughed.
Bakura's laugh shattered the empty night and filled it with a sense of horror and terror. Bakura walked on the sidewalk, hands in his jeans pocket, smiling slyly. It was not exactly in the way he wanted it, but Bakura had completed his mission. People walking passed Bakura noticed his glistening smile. And he kept smiling, until he slowly disappeared into the darkness of the night.
