spiritfire: ...( squeals in excitement) I don't owe Kingdom Hearts

XXXII. Angel Tears

Kaiba repairs the roof of someone's house much to his disappointment. Cleaning the city was a pretty bad idea for a simple favor but it's the only way for them to get a gate pass from Lacus. He wonders how Yugi and Yami fare in this situation and speaking of them...

Yugi was mopping the floor on a faraway house. It would be better if he would cast magic but people might think he's a god or monster or something like that. Ever since he came in this continent, the people here are not that bad and they treated him as a normal person and for the first time he met Yami well let's just say things are getting better. He never thought someone would understand the torture he has gone through when all of a sudden he felt a twitching pain on his neck. He reacted and touched where the prince gave him the lovebite but why would he felt pain. Another pain laced through his eyes and suddenly he dropped the mop.

"What the? My neck hurts! Got to do something!" Yugi said as he tighten his grip on his neck. He quickly went to the bathroom of this house and looked at the mirror. To his horror, there was some kind of seal appeared at the right side of his neck and it seems that it has a tiny crack on it.

"What's going on here?" he asked himself as the pain faded.

- - -

Yami on the other hand was helping the injured and cleaning an entire hospital building. Unfortunately, he gained a lot of female admires much to his dismay but at the same time, people didn't treat him as royalty. The good thing is no one has to know about it well except for Yugi and Kaiba. Speaking of Yugi, he's been thinking a lot about him lately on how much he saved his life. He really wished that he wasn't weak though.

"Can I really do somethin for him?" he asked himself when suddenly he sensed a familiar aura.

"I think it's time to practice 'that'." Yami said as he finished his last routine and left the building.

- - -

Kaiba just finished repairing the rooftop but he ended up a lot of bruises all over his two hands. At least doing household chores back in GARDEN really paid off. He should get himself healed so he left the place and began to find Yugi wherever he is. While he was walking, he sensed something around him.

"I have a feeling that idiot is back better find them fast." Kaiba mumbled as he started to walk and at the same time, he took a grip on his gunblade that was under his trenchcoat.

Meanwhile, Yugi was able to finish his mopping so he quickly left the house and decided to find either Yami or Kaiba. Truth to be told, he never noticed te seal on his neck. Where did it came from? And how did it end up on his neck in the first place. He was about to answer the question when Marik came and nabbed Yugi then teleported themselves outside the city.

"Do you want to know what was the seal on your neck, hmmm?" Marik asked but Yugi gave him a death glare.

"Why should I care?" he asked, growling but the yellow-spiky haired man didn't listen.

"I'll tell you anyway, that seal is known as the the forbidden emotion seal. It prevents the person to feel any positive emotion he has to another person. Apparently, it was used as a source to cast unknown magic." Marik explained. "Only one race is supposed to have this and that is the Ethrealians who believed that their powers are second to the heavens or gods themselves.".

"You're lying!" Yugi yelled angrily but the man chuckled.

"Have it your way." Marik shrugged as he prepared to cast his spells. "Let's see how much strong you are now!"

"Gravaja!" he chanted but all of a sudden his spell was interrupted. Yugi didn't know what was going on until Yami came and use magic at Marik's back.

"Thanks for the info." Yami grinned and Marik growled.

"You wretched little----!!!" Marik growled when all of a sudden, Yami teleported and cast Fire Storm. Yugi dropped his jaw in shocked and wondered how the hell did he learn to teleport.

Yami's eyes were slowly turned red and suddenly the entire sky became black. Shadows began to dance and smirk was on his face. Yugi could only watch and wondered how did Yami knew he was there and did he just use his dark powers.

"Shadow Flare!" Yami chanted and millions of shadow like rocks fell down the earth. Marik can't evade all of them because the rocks surround him in all angles. The spell ended when a very huge rock hit him hard.

"So you possessed the power of darkness. Interesting, I shall entertain you...Thundaga!" Marik said with a sneer and Yugi suddenly panicked. He knew how powerful he was but that didn't stop Yami from fighting.

"You said I have the power of 'darkness'...Think again...Holy Cross!!!" the prince chanted as he drew a big cross from his own hands and fired it in front of him but Marik simply broke the spell with his own bare hands.

"Gavaja!" Marik chanted but it had no effect on Yami.

"What the friggin' hell?" he yelled and the prince smirked.

"Did I forget to mention that dark magics won't work on me? Oh yeah, that's right I didn't." Yami said in his mocking voice.

"Grrrr...fine eat this, Waterga!" Marik chanted and Yami was locked in a water like prison. The prince was prepared so he simply use his ice magic to freeze the water prison then he broke it into many pieces. To Yugi's surprise, the Millennium Puzzle was shining on his neck. He landed down gently and what's more his black wings showed itself. He flew up very high and glared at Marik

"CrossFire!" Yami chanted and out from his left hand was a bow and on his right was a fire-shadow arrow. He placed the arrow on the bow then he fired it. As the arrow began to fire, streaks of light began to emanate from it and suddenly several arows appeared all of a sudden. Marik evaded it by using his Protega Spell but since he has no idea how many arrows were the magic didn't last long and it exploded. Yugi wonders what happened to Marik. Did Yami destroyed him?

"AHAHAHAHAHAAHA! This is so interesting, very well! I'll take my leave now but know this I will be back for you!" Marik said insanely as he disappeared. Yami just stood there as the sky began to clear.

- - -

To prevent anyone from seeing them, Yami has to use his teleprtation spell to some kind of alley. They have been quiet ever since Yami fend Marik off. Yugi can't help himself but to ask something. While trying to find Kaiba, Yugi decided to ask now.

"Since when did you learn to teleport?" Yugi asked and Yami suddenly frowned...very hard.

"What I really want to ask is about the emotion seal?" the prince frowned and Yugi flinched. Seems that he did heard what Marik just said to him. Yugi couldn't said a word from it.

"That emotion seal is really forbidden for the reason that negative emotions were the source of magic. But in your case, it allows you to cast unknown magic. Do you have any idea what that means????" Yami jeered at him and Yugi stood silent.

"It means the reason Marik prowls you like a dog was...Theoritically, he wants your powers and nothing else!" he said and Yugi dropped his jaw in shock. "As for my teleportation powers, I got it since I had you-know-what. It would be better if we don't tell Kaiba about this 'cause he'll be nagging that it's all nonsense.".

Yugi slowed down his walking feeling a bit a down to himself. "Yami, ...do you hate me?"

The prince slowed down his walking and looked at the sky. "I-di-ot, why would I hate you? It's impossible!. I know that you just recently knew about this so I'm not angry or anything but ...". Here he paused for a while the spoke again. "One day the 'darkness' will take you out, I'm warning you now!!!". As he said the statement his eyes became crimson red and Yugi felt fear from him then it finally settled down.

"Yami...I see..." Yugi said as a small smile crept over his face when they saw a familiar figure.

"Kaiba, is that you?" Yami called out and turns out it was him. Turns out it was Kaiba alright but his hands were telling a different story.

"Hey...Yugi would you mind healing my hands? That damn repair on the rooftop cause it!" he grunted and Yugi did. The blue-eyed teen sighed in relief. He just noticed that something went wrong between the two teens.

"Can anyone tell me what happened?" Kaiba asked.

"One word: Marik!" Yugi replied with poison in his voice. Kaiba suddenly frowned.

"Did he done anything to you?" he asked.

"Yami fend him off." Yugi replied and Kaiba just shrugged.

"Well, since that's over with. let'd find Lacus and get that gate pass." the blue-eyed teen said and everyone agreed.

- - -

The three of them were on their way to Lacus' place and it seems that she was waiting for them. Kira on the other hand was alongside her and the three of then just stood there waiting for them to speak.

"Here's the gate pass. Just give it to the guard at the exit and he'll let you pass. Don't lose it." Lacus said as he gave it to Yugi.

"Thanks!" Yami said as Yugi pocketed it.

"Tell Athrun for me that I said hi!' Kira said and Yugi just simply nodded and so they left the place and went to the guard who guarded the gate. Yugi simply gave the guard their gate pass and so the gate opened leaving the three of them the city of Hetropolis. They saw something out there and saw that it was something big or rather someone with big shadows all over the land.

"What was that?" Yugi asked.

"We better find out what it is then" Kaiba replied. "And hope that it wasn't one of Marik's tricks."

They all went past through some forested parts of the land and they saw something big alright. It was an enormous shadow with big head and muscular body only that it skin color is black and shadows were swirling on it. On the far side, someone is fighting that big shadow. He has brown spiky hair wearing a black zipper shirt with blue undershirt, has a silver chain crown pendant, nearly long black pants that wasn't above the knee and wearing yellow rubber shoes with black stripes. He had some kind of key as his weapon that is similar to some Roman buildings (Romalia) and his companion had long silver spiky hair that flows down, wearing a sleeveless yellow zipper shirt and long blue pants plus white sneakers. His weapon was similar to the brown spiky haired guy but it was all black and red in color.

"I thought I got rid of this Heartless!" the spiky-browned haired boy yelled while he kept smashing the enemy.

"You think!!" said the white haired teen as he used his aerial attacks. "That's it, I had it, Sora let's do 'Eternal Session'!"

"Do you think it'll work, Riku?" Sora asked as he defended one of Darkside's energy balls.

"What choice do we have?" Riku jabbed at him and the Keyblade master sighed.

"Fine," Sora said as he and Riku were about to begin their signature combination attack until Darkside sensed something. Just as they were about to begin, Sora stopped for a moment and Riku saw his hesistance.

"Sora, what gives?" he asked when Darkside sneakly grabbed Yugi and forced him inside its body. Riku recognized him immediately and knew that with him at its side, neither he nor Sora couldn't do anything about it.

"If Dark's here.. that means..." Riku frowned and saw Yami and Kaiba were about to fight. "Don't do anything stupid!"

The two of them stopped and Riku step forward. As for Sora, he just followed him and wondered what's going on.

"Rku, who are those two two?" he asked.

"He's Yami and Kaiba. I met them back at the Lunarian Continent," Riku replied as he cut the introductions short. "And the one that Darkside got was---". He was about to say Yugi's fake name when Yami shut his mouth.

"Hey, what did you do that for?" Riku growled as the prince let go of his hand.

"Riku, there's something you should know," Kaiba said. "His name is not Dark. He just changed his name to avoid suspicion and trying to escape his 'tortured' past!". It took him a while to register what the blue-eyed teen said the his face turned to anger.

"WHAT!!!!!!!" Riku shouted angrily. "WHAT DID HE DO THAT FOR???". While Riku is getting angry, Yami had to smack him on the head and a disgusted expression was on his face.

"You don't have any idea how hard it is for him and if you want proof, you can ask him yourself!" Yami said with poison in his voice. Riku and Kaiba stared in shocked while Sora had loads of question marks in his head.

"Um, if you don't mind, we're having a situation here!!!" Sora said as he pointed the very large shadow Heartless. All three of them settled down and trying to figure out how can they get Yugi out of this mess.

"Guys, any ideas on how to get him out?" Kaiba asked as Darkside whammed the ground.

"Uhhhh...not yet but we have to think of something!!!!!" Riku replied as he sliced the enemy's large arm. As they were trying to fight back, Yami remembers what he told Yugi back at Hetropolis. He wonders how he knew that Yugi would be taken over by the 'darkness' but he didn't know.

- - -

Meanwhile inside the enemy's body, Yugi's body didn't move an inch. As the shadows swirl around, his eyes were void of soul and somehow Darkside took advantage of his magical energy. No one knows how much time has passed until he heard a distant yet familiar voice around him.

"Don't let the darkness swallow you!"

"Keyblade!"

"Let your heart be your guide!"

"The 'darkness' is who you are!"

"The light is ruin!"

"Keyblade!!!"

"Light!"

"Yugi!"

"Yugi!"

"You have to fight!!!!!!"

Yugi's eyes opened a bit and his head was aching a bit. He knows that he heard that voice before but when and where until he saw a familiar light.

"Mom!" Yugi whispered.

spiritfire: Okay doke that's a wrap and as for the Romalia- that's Sora's keyblade-it's nearly similar to Olympia and Hero's Crest but I based it on the Roman building structure. I hope this clears all up and looke here, Yugi's mom is here. See what happens next. Read and review
