The Dark Side Of Yami

Chapter Two


Seto discretely questioned every one of his staff, he said, “Did anyone take a black bag out of the closet in the hall near my room?” Everyone he questioned told him, “No Sir.” Now Seto was even more upset then he was before. What was going on? Who was the person who took off with that black bag? He could not sit around wondering, he had to find out how Yami was.

Seto knocked on the bedroom door where Yami was. Yami opened the door and Seto said, “Are you feeling better?” Yami said, “Yes I am. I’d better get back to the Game Shop, Yugi will be wondering where I am.” “I called and told Yugi that you were here.” Seto told him. If Yami was upset that Seto had called Yugi, he didn’t let it show. “I’ll have my driver take you to the Game Shop when you’re ready.” Seto told him.

At the hospital, Joey was waking up. When he opened his eyes, he didn’t know where he was, the door opened and a woman in a Nurses uniform walked in. “How are you feeling this morning?” She asked him. Joey asked, “Where am I?” The Nurse said, “You’re in the hospital, you were brought in late last night.” When Joey went to move he nearly screamed, he knew that from the pain in his ass what happened, then tears filled his eyes, the Nurse said, “Be careful or you’ll break the stitches.” Joey looked at her and asked, “What stitches?”

Just as she was about to tell him, the door opened and in walked Bakura and Ryou. “Joey how are you doing?” Ryou asked. Joey looked at them and then he said, “How in the hell did I get here and what happened to me?” Bakura knew that he wouldn’t remember it was the Shadow Magic that was preventing him for remembering. “Ryou then said, “Kura found you last night, you were lying under a swing, Joey you had been beaten up.”

Joey then looked at Bakura and asked, “Who did it, who hurt me?” Bakura said, “When I found you there wasn’t anyone around.” Then the door opened again and in walked a man in a white smock, he said, “I’m Dr. Talbot, how are you this morning.” Joey looked at the man and he said, “I hurt like hell and no one can tell me why.” Dr. Talbot then said, “Joseph, do you know who beat you up?” Tears filled Joey’s eyes and he said, “If I knew I’d tell you. But I don’t remember anything.”

Bakura and Ryou went outside while the Nurse checked Joey’s vital, and then Dr. Talbot told them, “Until he can remember who beat him, the one responsible may just do this to someone else, and next time it could be deadly, so you’ve got to get Joseph to tell you what happened.” Bakura told Ryou, “You go back in and visit with Joey, I’ve got something to do, and I’ll tell you later.” Then Bakura left the hospital and he went to talk to Ishizu.

Ryou visited with Joey for a while and then Joey yawned and Ryou said, “I’m going to leave, you need your rest, I’ll let Yugi know that you’d like to see him.” Then Ryou left and Joey closed his eyes and went to sleep. When Ryou left the hospital, he went home to wait for Bakura, ‘I wonder what he’s doing,’ Ryou asked himself. Bakura went to the Ishtar’s to talk to Ishizu about what happened and to ask her if she knew how he could find out who used Shadow Magic on Joey Wheeler.

When Odeon opened the door, he saw Bakura standing there. “I need to talk to Ishizu,” Bakura said. Odeon showed him to the living room, when he walked in, Ishizu looked up and said, “Why are you here?” Bakura told her about the attack on Joey Wheeler and that the one responsible had used Shadow Magic. Ishizu then said, “I need to get in touch with Shadi, he is the only one who can figure out who was the attacker.” Then Bakura thanked her and as Odeon showed Bakura out, Bakura said, “Protect her, I don’t think that these attacks are over.” Odeon said, “I’ll protect her with my life.” Then he closed the door and Bakura went home.

When Yami had left the Manor, Seto had everyone search the entire Manor for that damn black bag. There was something strange about Yami and Seto was going to find out what it was. While they were searching, Seto called the hospital to find out how Joey was. When Bakura told him that Joey had been attacked, something in Bakura’s voice told him somehow Yami was involved. The Nurse who was taking care of Joey, knew Seto, she told him, “Your friend is really lucky that that man found him when he did. If Joey didn’t get the medical care he needed he would have died from blood loss.” Seto then asked, “Was he raped?” The Nurse closed her eyes and whispered, “Yes, but he doesn’t remember who it was.”

Seto then hung the phone up, he slammed his fist into the top of the desk, he knew for certain that Yami did have something to do with Joey’s injuries, but how did he do it and why doesn’t Joey remember what happened? Seto the picked up the phone and called the Game Shop, maybe Solomon could answer some of his questions.

When Yami opened the door of the Game Shop, Yugi came rushing out and threw himself into Yami’s arms. “I was so worried about you. Yami someone attacked Joey, he’s in the hospital and he’s hurt really bad.” Yugi said. Yami pretended to care and said, “Maybe today we can go visit him and see how he’s doing.” Yugi smiled and said, “That’s great.” Yami then said, “I’m going to go to my room and rest, I’m kind of tired.” Yugi said, “Alright, I’m going to call and talk to Joey.” Yami went upstairs, and he closed his bedroom door, he thought to himself, ‘I can’t let Wheeler tell anyone that I was the one who attacked him.”

Shadi came back from Egypt and Solomon was with him. When they got to the house, Ishizu told them about what Bakura said, Shadi and Solomon listened and then Solomon said, “I’m going to go home and make sure that Yugi’s alright.” After he left, Shadi said, “I’ve got to go talk to Joseph, if Shadow Magic was used; I might be able to tell who it was that attacked him.” Ishizu then said, “Odeon will you please drive Shadi to the hospital.” Odeon said, “No I can’t leave Ishizu alone.” Shadi looked at him and asked, “Why, do you know something that we don’t?” Odeon the told them what Bakura said. Shadi then said, “My love Odeon’s right, I’ll just use my magic to get me to the hospital.”

When Shadi appeared in Joey’s hospital room, Joey was still asleep. Shadi waved his hands over Joey’s body and anger appeared across his face. Shadi knew exactly who the attacker was, but why, why would he do such a thing? Shadi knew that he had to find out why, if he didn’t then these attacks would continue and that was something Shadi wasn’t going to allow. Shadi then disappeared, he reappeared in the basement of the Museum, and he started looking through the scrolls.

Back at the Game Shop, Yami was coming down the stairs, when he heard Yugi talking to Solomon, “Grandpa, I’m worried about Yami. He disappeared and then Kaiba called to say he went there, and that he doesn’t remember leaving here.” Solomon knew that his grandson liked Yami, but he still had reservations about Yami. “Yugi, why don’t you go talk to Ishizu, maybe she can help.” Yugi smiled at Solomon and said, “I just might do that, thanks grandpa.”

Yami then went back upstairs to his room, closed and locked the door. Yami walked over to the window and as he looked out, his head began to pound, and then it felt as if he were falling. When the feeling stopped, Yami looked at himself in the mirror and what he saw scared the living hell out of himself. There in the Mirror was this strange looking man, he did in someway look like Yami, but his eyes, god his eyes were blood red. “Who are you?” Yami asked his reflection.

The man laughed and then he said, “Don’t you remember me, hell I’m the dark side of you, the side that loves to cause pain and even death.” Yami closed his eyes, then he reopened them, but the damn reflection was still there. “What do you want?” Yami asked. “Well we have to stop that little pip squeak from sticking his nose where it’s not wanted.” The reflection said.” “I won’t let you hurt Yugi, he’s my Aboui.” The reflection laughed manically, then said, “I don’t give a damn if he were your twin, he’s going to try to stop me and I can’t let that happen.”

“Then I’ll stop you myself.” Yami said. This caused the reflection to burst out laughing again, as if you could to that, you’re part of me and if you do anything to me, you’re doing it to yourself, so why don’t you just allow me to take over.” Yami turned from the mirror, quickly left the room and hurried out the door of the Game Shop. ‘Where can I go so that I won’t hurt anyone else?’ Yami asked himself. Inside his mind, he heard laughter, “You’ll never stop me.” He heard.

When the phone rang in the Game Shop, Solomon said, “Game Shop, can I help you?” Seto then said, “Solomon, its Seto Kaiba, I have a question for you.” Solomon could hear the sorrow in Kaiba’s voice. How can I help you?” Solomon asked him. Then Seto asked him, “Have you noticed if Yami’s been acting weird?” Solomon remembered how Yugi had questions about Yami too. “Listen, can you come over to the Game Shop, I don’t want to talk about this on the phone.” Solomon said. Seto then said, “I’ll be there in twenty minutes.” Solomon hung up the phone and he asked himself, ‘What in the hell is happening.’

In the basement of the Museum, Shadi was still looking for the scroll he needed, when all of a sudden he felt such hatred that it caused him to fall to his knees. Shadi knew that the dark power was looking for someone else to hurt maybe kill, but who he didn’t know. Shadi knew that he had to find that scroll and quickly.

Yami was wandering around Domino he couldn’t stop his feet. Then he saw Ryou, a sinister smile spread across Yami’s face. ‘Well what do we have here, the little fuck buddy of that bastard Bakura.’ Yami thought to himself. He walked over to Ryou and said, “Hello Ryou.” Ryou nearly jumped out of his skin, “Yami you scared me, where’s Yugi?” Ryou asked. Just as Yami was about to take control of Ryou’s mind, Bakura came walking towards them. When Bakura saw Yami talking to Ryou, Bakura’s eyes turned blood red and he hurried over to them and said, “What in the hell are you doing here Pharaoh?”

Yami glared daggers at Bakura then a smile appeared on Yami’s face, he said, “I was just wondering if Ryou knew how Joey was doing?” Ryou moved closer to Bakura who put his arm around his Aboui. Then Bakura said, “We’re going to go visit him now, why don’t you join us?” Yami then said, “I have to get back to the Game Shop, I’ll see if Yugi wants to visit Joey, we can go see him later.”

After Yami left, Ryou looked at Bakura and he said, “Did you fell that evil power oozing from Yami?” Bakura hugged Ryou to him and said, “Yes, we have to find out what the hell is going on. I’m scared that Joey isn’t going to be the only person hurt by that bastard.” When Yami hurried away from Ryou and Bakura, the voice inside his head said, “They know, they know that you were the one who hurt that boy.” Yami grabbed his head as he fell to his knees, when he could finally stand up, Yami said, “Leave me alone, and go away.” Then the laughter echoed repeatedly inside his head, “Oh no, you won’t get away from me not just yet.”
