Woot woot! This is chapter 12 of the story! I'm close to ending this actually because I now know exactly where I want this to go! Ha!
I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! and/or the characters! Only my own characters belong to me. Now begin!
A week had passed since I was taken over and I didn't want to talk about it. Yami and Yugi were okay, and I had control of myself again.
I was just afraid…of myself. I didn't know how to control anything like Yugi…and I was scared I would hurt my friends, Syllabi or myself without knowing it.
Because I looked too much like Shesha and Syllabi, I dyed all of my hair black. It matched me perfectly and brought the gold out of my eyes more than the brown. Weirdly enough, in the sun blue still shinned on my bangs a little. There was no getting away from it. Although it wasn't visible indoors or anything.
When I went to school I kept my distance, and when it was over I went straight home. I wanted to ignore everything for a while. I left Syllabi in my room so I didn't have any connection with her, and I completely avoid Yami. It was saddening because we had just started liking each other. Even Syllabi said we were finally bringing our destines together. I hadn't talked to Yugi, Bakura, Téa, Joey, or Tristan since the incident either.
And the others didn't even know why I was ignoring them!
I was walking home from school and stared at my hand.
'I haven't seen them in a while,' I thought, going into the house.
I got dressed in a black tank top and green jacket with some dark jeans and tennis shoes. I left my hair down, and put my bag in my room.
I walked out of the house after grabbing my phone. I went down the street with my hands in my jacket pockets.
I was going to the hospital to see David. I didn't really know why…but I thought I'd be the last place everyone would look.
I went and checked in before I went to David's room.
I opened the door slowly and looked inside. He looked the same. His heart was beating quickly and his breathing was irregular.
The beeping had been a bit quieter though.
I shut the door behind me and rubbed my arms some. I had no idea why I was here again, but I came here the past three days.
I went over to the couch that was farthest from the bed and sat on it.
I slipped my shoes off, pulling my legs to my chest as I looked out of the window. I sighed deeply, yawning some.
'Another slow day,' I thought, shifting so I was comfortable.
I closed my eyes and faded off. I was conscious enough to hear the things around me. The beeping of David's heart. The cars outside, the nurses walking in and out of ICU.
But I was also out of it so much that my limbs were asleep, resting. And that I didn't react to much of anything.
"I knew we'd find her in here," a voice said, the automatic door to David's room sliding shut.
"Yes. But why would she come here of all places?"
I recognized them. Both of them. I opened my eyes some to see Yugi kneeling in front of me, Yami standing next to him with his arms crossed.
"So you're awake?" Yugi asked smiling a bit. I looked at him before sitting up.
"Yeah," I mumbled looking out the window. I had my legs pulled up to me with an arm wrapped around it while my other was in my hair.
Yugi frowned concerned and sat next to me on the couch type thing I was previously sleeping on.
"Is everything okay? I know you've been avoiding everyone since last week," he said softly. I nodded shortly not looking at him.
"I'm fine. Just tired," I replied. There was a dull flash that I saw off of the window behind me before it went away.
"You are a bad liar," Yami said. I blinked, not expecting his voice and looked at him.
He had his leg crossed while his arms were crossed also. He still had his school uniform on of course it looked different because he was wearing it. His eyes were locked on me and I saw how concerned he was.
I turned away again.
"I'm not lying," I said simply. Yami frowned.
"Yes you are." I recognized the voice in my head and went wide eyed. I spun on Yami and he didn't move.
"Where is it?" I asked quickly. He looked at me levelly and I became more desperate.
"Where is it Yami?" I asked again. He just stared at me.
"What are you talking about?" he asked. I grabbed his arm, staring at his violet colored eyes.
"Where's my medallion? I know you have it. I can sense it. I can hear her voice in my head!" I said loudly. I checked his pockets quickly and felt the medallion. I was about to pull out the chain in my hand when Yami grabbed the sides of my face suddenly, surprising me.
"Why are you afraid of it?" he asked. I stared at his shirt, refusing to speak. I felt his thumb rub the side of my face but I didn't feel better.
"You have to have the medallion. It's your fate and you know it."
I breathed deeply, wanting to get the medallion away from me. I pulled my hand out of his jacket pocket shakily and saw the Medallion of Life shimmer in my hand.
"Tamaya please. Listen to him," Syllabi said, appearing next to me. I didn't look at her and instead stood up quickly, opening the window.
"No!"
"Tamaya stop this!" Yami said standing.
I was about to throw it and glanced at him. The Millennium Puzzle was swinging and the Eye of Horus on it glowed.
"You must calm yourself Tamaya," Yami said frowning.
My eyelids got heavy and my arm fell, the medallion slipping from my numb fingers. I fell forward into Yami's waiting arms and my forehead stayed in the crook of his neck. I breathed evenly, quietly.
Syllabi appeared next to us, staring at my sleeping form.
"What did you do?" she asked frantically. He glanced at her before looking at me.
"She's unconscious. We need to get her home," he said, standing with me in his arms. He quickly walked out, being unnoticed.
When I woke up I was in Yugi's room. I sat up quickly and grabbed the back of my neck.
"Ow," I mumbled, swinging my legs over the edge.
"I'm sorry. But you were going to do something rash."
I looked at Yami and nodded some. Yugi was sitting in the chair with a sad look.
"Why were you gonna get rid of Syllabi Tamaya?" he asked. I bit my lip closing my eyes.
"Because I thought if I got rid of my medallion, I would stop hurting Yami," I said softly. I looked at Yami, tears in my eyes.
"Shesha got to me from the Medallion of Death. So I didn't want that to happen again. What if I hurt myself, or Yugi or you again? I would feel bad," I cried.
I felt Yami hug me and Yugi looked down. I cried on his shoulder and Syllabi appeared next to Yugi with a small smile.
"That will not happen Tamaya. You have more control than that," she said. I nodded wiping my eyes off with my hands.
I smiled some.
"Still…I don't know if I can control my mind that well," I said, looking at Yami. He touched my shoulder smiling a little.
"We'll work through that together," he said reassuringly.
I smiled happily nodding and Yugi smiled at Syllabi.
"Well I'm glad to see you smiling again!" Yami cursed softly and was suddenly replaced by Yugi who was still in the middle of blinking.
Syllabi went into my medallion and Yugi and I looked over at the door.
"Joey!" I said smiling. Bakura poked his head out from behind him and waved a bit.
"Hello Tamaya, Yugi. I do hope it's alright that we stopped by," he said sheepishly. I stood with Yugi who nodded.
"Y-Yeah! Of course it is!" he said rubbing the back of his head. I smiled nervously.
'That was close,' all four of us thought, sighing gratefully.
"Actually we wanted to talk to you about the new tournament that's coming up," Bakura said walking in and standing with Joey.
I blinked confused with Yugi.
"Tournament? Like a Duel Monsters tournament?" I asked. Bakura nodded and Joey grinned.
"Yeah! People from all over the world are coming for the tournament!" he said holding up his fist.
I nodded crossing my arms.
"Yeah but who's hosting it? Kaiba?" I asked. Joey faltered and Bakura looked at me.
"It was Kaiba that told us about it. Apparently he really wants to verse Yugi in a battle again. He told us all to enter. Me, you, Joey, Tristan, Téa and Mai," he said frowning.
"I knew it. Looks like we have something new to deal with. Kaiba wants to prove that he's the best duelist around and he's gonna stop at nothing to verse you tw- I uh mean…you again. If he gets you guys involved then that just makes him look all the more better," I said to him. He nodded again. Bakura looked over at me.
"I don't think he knows you duel Tamaya," he said. Yugi frowned.
"Maybe that's for the better. If he doesn't know Tamaya duels, that one less person to get dragged into all of this.
I nodded looking at Joey as he sighed.
"This is gonna be another pain in the butt because of that stuck up Kaiba guy!" he complained I shook my head an Yugi frowned.
"I don't think we have a choice really. When does the tournament begin Joey?" he asked, looking at him.
Joey thought about it and Bakura talked for him.
"In two weeks," he said. I frowned unsurely.
"Are you sure this is a good idea? I mean…Kaiba is a really deceptive person guys and there's always a twist to his games. Even if I wasn't there on the Pegasus thing I heard enough. I don't think you should get mixed up in this tournament," I said honestly.
Joey looked at me.
"Yeah but if we don't then all he's gonna do is torment Yugi for the rest of his life and call the rest of us cowards! I can't be having that!" he said a fire in his eyes.
I touched my forehead and Bakura smiled with his eyes shut a little nervously from Joey's antics.
"Maybe this will just be…fun," he offered. We sighed.
"This is hopeless," I mumbled.
