Chapter 8: The Final Stage
Fukayna walked down the street, going back to the apartment building where she would meet up with Bakura to discus the next part of the plan. I have power beyond any mortal. Without the souls of his friends, the pharaoh will be weak and helpless. She heard a twig snap behind her. When she turned around, she didn't see anyone. I dare you to come out. After all, Bakura didn't say that I was limited to just Yami's friends. However, nothing appeared, and she continued on towards her destination.
She heard the twig snap again.
"Alright," she growled, "come on out, coward!" She saw a black shape from the corner of her eye creep towards her.
"Get out here," the female yami taunted, "you little piece of crap!" Fukayna's uninvited guest laughed.
"You're a cold person," it said in a male voice, "of course, you're Bakura's lover, so I should expect no less."
"Who are you," Fukayna growled, "and how do you know so much about me? If you're trying to be funny, you'll end up like all of my other victims!"
"Actually," it continued, "I've mistaken you for someone else, Chihiro."
"Why would you want to talk to her," she asked, "she's worthless and weak, like all the other hikaris." The voice laughed.
"She wasn't always an innocent little angel," it went on, "however, she has recently gone thru a lot, which is why she's here, why you're now free, and why you were reunited with Bakura." Fukayna looked at her feet.
"What happened to her?" she asked in a quieter voice.
"You don't know," the voice laughed, "you'll find out soon enough." The black shape disappeared, leaving Fukayna alone in the cold, raining night. She slanted her eyes, and continued on.
"Did he say anything else?" Bakura asked.
"No," Fukayna answered, "I tried to get him to talk, but he disappeared." The female yami had reached the apartment building, and after she arrived, she had immediately told her partner about her mystery visitor.
"Well," Bakura continued, "it doesn't sound like he wants to get involved with us, but your hikari." Fukayna looked at her medallion. Does she really have a special power hidden within?
"Did you capture all of his friends?" Bakura asked, changing the subject. Fukayna nodded. He grinned and sat next to her.
"Excellent," he whispered in her ear, "I knew I could count on you." Fukayna leaned her head on Bakura's shoulder.
"We're going to begin," he continued, "the final stage will start, and when it is over, we shall reign victorious." Fukayna nodded, and closed her eyes, feeling safe in Bakura's care.
"Yugi," Chihiro shouted, "Yugi!" She was running towards the short hikari's house the next evening when she saw him walking out with a few flowers. He must have planned to visit everyone at the hospital. When Yugi saw her running, he waved at her.
"Y-Yugi," she huffed as she came to a stop in front of her friend, "Yugi, I know you're busy, but I seriously need your help!" Yugi looked at her.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"It's Ryo," the black-haired girl explained, "I can't find him anywhere, and when I tried calling him on his cell phone, he wouldn't pick up." Chihiro started crying.
"I'm worried," she spat out, "with someone attacking everyone like this, I don't want him getting hurt!"
"Don't worry, Chihiro," Yugi assured, "I'll help you find him before the murderer does." Chihiro nodded, and they ran off towards Kaiba's theme park, leaving the flowers behind.
"Have you spotted him yet?" Chihiro asked as she and Yugi ran down the pathways of Kaiba Land.
"No," Yugi answered, "I can hardly keep an eye on you let alone Ryo!" There are so many people. How are we going to find him? Chihiro began tearing.
"No," she yelled at herself, "I won't let those who are precious to me get hurt!"
"Over there!" Yugi shouted. Chihiro immediately stopped and looked over into a hidden alley. She saw Ryo's familiar white hair and white-and-blue-striped shirt. He was laying face-down on the floor.
"Ryo!" Chihiro and Yugi shouted as they ran in to help their friend. When they reached him, Chihiro fell on her knees, shaking his shoulder and yelling his name.
"I'll call an ambulance!" Yugi said. He pulled out his cell phone and started dialing. However, just as he was about to push the "send" button, the atmosphere was engulfed in darkness.
"Yugi," Chihiro asked as she stood up, "what's going on?!" Yugi's Millennium Puzzle glowed, and after it dimmed down, Yugi's hair was different, and he had a deeper voice. He must be Yami!
"Chihiro," Yami ordered, "get away from that body! He's not Ryo!" Chihiro's eyes were filled with fright as Bakura stood up. The white-haired yami looked at her, and knocked her out when he slammed his hand onto her pressure point on her shoulder. The blue-eyed girl collapsed, completely out cold.
"Bakura," Yami yowled, "how could you knock out an innocent girl like that?!" Bakura grinned, and kicked Chihiro's body so that she was lying on her back.
"She has outlived her usefulness," Bakura replied, "she was the one who has attacked all of your friends, pharaoh!"
"Prove it!" Yami demanded. Bakura laughed.
"As you wish," he replied. He bent down next to Chihiro's body, and pulled out a pocket knife, a combat knife, and her most prized possession: the Millennium Medallion. Yami stared at him. Just then, Yugi materialized next to him.
"What is that?" Yugi asked.
"I don't know," Yami choked out as he shook, "but it looks like a Millennium Item!"
"We have a winner," Bakura explained, "This is the Millennium Medallion, the eighth Millennium Item! The yami sealed within it was known as Fukayna back in Ancient Egypt." He paused, closed his eyes, and smirked.
"And," he continued, "We were lovers back in the day." Yami and Yugi stared at the albino yami in front of them.
"When I found her again," Bakura went on, "I made her think that I still had feelings for her. She made her host, Chihiro, do everything I ordered her to do! She targeted your little friends, then attacked them, and then sealed them inside these stones on this medallion!" Bakura laughed.
"So you deceived your own friend, your lover," Yami yowled, "that's extremely low, even by your standards, Bakura!" He paused and looked at Yugi.
"I would never do that to my lover," he growled. Bakura laughed.
"And that's what makes you weak," Bakura explained, "you let your feelings for him blind you, and you loose sight of your true motive, your true goal!" Yami slanted his eyes and growled.
"You're wrong, Bakura," Yugi protested, "It makes us both strong! You are the weak one!"
"Really," Bakura laughed, "then prove it, in this shadow game!"
