In Silence: Final Chapter
Disclaimer: I don’t own it, piss off
AnimeGal4: Greetings everyone! I’m finally back with chapter 5! I don’t think I have ever taken so long to think of something for a fanfic before! I gave this chapter a lot of thought, for obvious reasons anyway. I want to thank you guys again for all your wonderful reviews. Thanks so much for sticking with on this story. This IS my first horror/angst fic, in case one of you guys forgot. XD. But this will be the last chapter of Black Feathers and I really hope that you enjoyed reading it, even if it made you sick or gave you nightmares, but, of course, that was my aim all along. (wink)
Enjoy the final chapter of Black Feathers!

Thump…thump, thump
‘What’s that sound?’
Thump…thump…thump…
‘It’s…my heart! I can still hear it…but….’
Thump…thump, thump
‘I can’t see…everything is black…’
Thump…thump…thump
‘Yami? Where…where are you?’
Thump, thump, thump
‘Yami, answer me! What’s happening to me!?’
Whispers… whisper in silence….cold silence whispering…freeze…
‘Mou hitori no boku…please help…me’
Ha…ha…ha…
Yugi made his way down the bodiless streets of Domino. It was very late outside now. Yugi slowly lifted one leg over the other, paining to keep going. His body was hunched over in a slump, covered in blood, from head to toe it seemed. Sweat slowly dripped down his pale face. He stopped under a street light and stared up into it. He watched the moths flow around it for a second and fell forward onto his knees. He now stared at the ground as a tear fell from his eye.
He had regained his consciousness about an hour ago and found himself in an alleyway, once again, covered in blood.
What had he let happen? He couldn’t remember anything…he killed someone…he knew that much…where was he?
“Yami…”
Wait; what if had been Yami he had hurt?
Yugi’s eyes widened at his thought. No…that couldn’t be… it just couldn’t…
“Ha…ha…ha…”
Yugi winced as he heard that laughter in his head again. He sat back on his heels and pushed his hands onto his head and held on tightly. His hair was wet…had he been near water? No...It was sweat…it was dripping down his face…
“Yami…no.”
‘Ha… ha… ha….’
“Shut up! Stop laughing! Leave me alone!”
‘Ha…ha…ha.’
“STOP IT DAMNMIT! DAMNMIT! DAMNMIT! GOD DAMNMIT!”
Yugi continued to shout as he stood up and began to race down the remainder of the street, still clutching his head.
“LEAVE ME ALONE! STOP MAKING ME KILL EVERYONE!!” cried Yugi.
Yugi’s foot than caught the edge of the curve, causing him to fall over onto the sidewalk. Yugi sniffed a few times before pulling himself up from the ground again. He stayed on all floors and looked up to see what was in front of him. He gasped to see, dead straight ahead, was the Domino Cemetery. Where this whole mess began….
Yugi let his eyes wander back and forth to scan the cemetery completely. It was empty, and should be, considering how late it was. Getting to his feet, Yugi walked up to the cemetery’s entrance. He gripped onto the gate with both hands and pulled a bit. To his surprise, it opened. Yugi shivered as a rush of cold wind flew past him, pushing him closer to the cemetery’s tall black gates. Yugi wrapped his arms around himself and continued to stare deeper into the cemetery. He narrowed his eyes a bit and turned away from the gates…no way was he ever going back in there. He began to walk forward, away from the cemetery when…
‘You will never escape from me…turn around and face me….’
Yugi froze to hear that sickening voice bouncing off the walls of his head again. No...It still couldn’t be there!
‘Leave me alone! You got what you wanted! You got your revenge on me and my friends for breaking into your tomb! What else do you want from me?!’
‘There is much more in store love…just you wait…plenty….Are you forgetting your friend? Your love? He still walks… still breathes…still lives…he must be silenced….ha…ha…ha.’
‘No! Stay away from him! He didn’t do anything to you!’
‘And want happens if I kill him? What will you do?’
‘I will kill you if you touch him.’
‘Strong words little love…so I have awakened your urge to kill…ha…ha…ha…’
Yugi stopped at his own words. He had never threatened anyone in his whole life. What was this thing doing to him?
‘Just leave me alone!’
‘Lost your gull? Poor…little…love…ha…ha…ha…’
‘Yami…help me…’
A smile.
‘Yami? Yami can’t help you…why would he risk his own life to save you? You silly little fool…’
‘You’re wrong! He will help me because…he loves me…’
‘Love? You believe in such foolishness?’
‘Yes…I do.’
Another smirk.
‘Turn around and face me love…turn back to the tomb and enter it…’
‘No! I will never go in there again!’
‘Go love…before I get angry…to the tomb…’
‘NO!’
Yugi felt his body begin to move without a command. The evil was controlling his body!
Yugi let out a scream for help, but no sound left him. His whole body began to burn and twist. As if wrapped in red hot chains, his body heaved forward. Yugi tired to pull back, but his body wouldn’t listen. Yugi felt like a live marionette as he was forced closer and closer to the black gates. He tried to scream out again. Every part of his body screamed and twisted with him, the red hot chains, pulling him closer and closer to hell on Earth itself.
_YAMI_
“YUGI! ANSWER ME! WHERE ARE YOU!?”
Yami stopped in the middle of the street, huffing and puffing. He called out again.
“YUGI!”
Still no answer, just like it had been for the hour and a half he had been running around, like a rat in a maze, looking for him. Since it was way after dark, Yami had no idea where he was. He walked over to the nearest street light and leaned against it. With his back to it, Yami peered down to the silver cross that was still clenched tightly in his hand. All is friends…were gone…
“Joey-kun…Marik-kun,” winced Yami.
“Ryou-kun…Bakura….”
How could he have let this all happen? He knew he sensed something was wrong when Yugi came home that night. Why didn’t he do anything right than and there? If he did…everyone would still be…
Yami began to cry, for the first time in his life. The pain of his friends’ deaths was killing him, burning him inside. How could he have let this happen? It was all his fault…his Yugi, his aibou, his love, he had become a killer…and Yami didn’t know whether or not he could stop him. He …failed him…he failed Yugi…
‘YAMI! HELP ME PLEASE!’
Yami froze at the sound of his aibou’s voice, echoing inside his head. He could hear him…he was still there! Yami pushed his weight back onto his two feet and listened again. He stumbled a bit, but caught himself against the street lamp. He continued to listen for another call.
‘Yami! Help….cemetery…help…Yami!’
“Yugi…,” smiled Yami.
Yami took off as fast as he could towards the cemetery were his aibou had instructed him to go. Turning a corner, he found himself on the east entrance of the Domino Cemetery.
“Well, that was lucky…that’s why I could hear him, he was close to me.”
Running up to the East Gates, Yami tugged hard on them. When releasing they were locked, Yami took a few steps back and gave the lock a kick, hoping it would break off. It didn’t.
“Shit…,” whispered Yami.
He quickly looked around of something to break the locked with. When he saw nothing, he did the only thing he could do. He walked up to the lock and placed both hands over it. Focusing his mental strength, Yami whispered…
‘Open…open…open…’
Yami’s millennium eye began to shine brightly on his forward and soon, the lock shattered and slipped off the gates. With a victory smirk, Yami opened the gates and walked inside. He could feel Yugi somewhere near by. He looked every which way, trying to spot his aibou. It was to dark to see anything, and it didn’t help when the last thing he saw Yugi wearing was black. Yami closed his eyes and tried to send a message to Yugi.
‘Yugi...I’m here…where are you?’
‘Yami…I….’
‘Yugi, I need to know where you are. Tell me.’
‘…’
‘Yugi!”
His aibou was probably too weak to answer him any farther. He opened his eyes and began to walk along to pathway through the cemetery. Heading west, Yami cut off the path and darted in between tomb stones. He remembered that Bakura had mentioned a tomb. Looking into the distance best he could, he couldn’t see any tombs there. He figured that they had to be somewhere either north or south. Turning back onto the pathway, he began to head north. Nothing there either.
Yami started to become frustrated with this. Where the hell was this tomb thing? Maybe near the church? The church was in the south, he knew that. He quickly turned around. Keeping a steady pace, Yami ran toward the south. After for what seemed like hours running, Yami leaned over a tomb stone to breathe a minute. He really had to calm down; his chest was really starting to hurt now. It burned and Yami found it was harder to catch his breath this time. With his breathing becoming hoarse, Yami continued along the pathway at a slow walk, clutching his chest. He stumbled around a bit and soon had to stop again. He breathed in quicker and quicker and coughed a bit. He really didn’t feel too great at the moment. He was sweating all over and could barely keep from falling over from exhaustion.
“YUGI!” shouted Yami.
Like Yugi could answer him….he picked up walking again, slowly, down the pathway. Slowly, he saw the church come into view and there, on the far side, was a large tomb that appeared to be wide open. That had to be it. With a small, tired smile Yami made his way over to it, leaning on tomb stones as he went.
_YUGI_
“LEAVE ME ALONE! STOP IT!” shouted Yugi from inside the tomb.
The evil inside him had forced him down into the tomb and into the room where Bakura had broken the urn. The skulls still laid in every direction, mouths hung open. Some appeared to be cackling at him as he was pushed closer and closer to the middle of the room. Yugi was forced to his knees and the skulls and their vines wrapped around his arms and ankles, keeping him still. Yugi struggled against his binds but couldn’t break them.
‘Ha…ha…ha…your mine little love…’
‘Let me go!’
‘The boy wishes to be freed…ha…ha…ha…’
The skulls around Yugi began to twist and turn in laugher.
‘Ha…ha…ha…’
‘STOP LAUGHING! ALL OF YOU! STOP IT! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE…please…stop…’
‘Ha…ha…ha’
Yugi fell from all fours and onto the cold stone floor. He could feel the skulls circle around him to hold him tighter. He sniffed as vines spread across his face, tying his mouth up so he couldn’t scream anymore. They wrapped tighter and tighter around his stomach and chest. Yugi winced as a few bit him in random places, making the whole experience worse. Yugi forced his head to the ceiling and began to cry. This couldn’t be how it would end…it just couldn’t be.
“I don’t want to die…I don’t want to die…I don’t want to DIE!” cried Yugi.
Yugi pulled and pushed against the vines holding him to the floor. He had to get out, he just had to. Yugi cried in frustration as the vines wrapped tighter around him. He bit at the vine holding his mouth shut and pulled himself forward. Finally freeing an arm, Yugi reached a head of him and grabbed a hold of the vine nearest to him. He pulled away from the vines grip. Yugi could hear some vines snap from behind him, telling him that they were breaking. Yugi pulled out again, causing more vines to snap.
‘Silly little boy…ha…ha…ha…’
Yugi yelped as the skulls shot from the walls and wrapped tightly around his neck. This made Yugi stop in his tracks. They tightened, making Yugi cough and fall over. The vines quickly tied him up again. Yugi tried to scream but the vines circled around his mouth again, cutting him off. The vines around his neck became tighter and tighter. Yugi soon felt his face getting warmer and warmer. He gasped out, needing to breathe. Yugi struggled again, but couldn’t free himself. The vines had wrapped around him to tight he could barely feel his body anymore. The vines pushed on his throat further and soon Yugi could barley make a breath. The vines circled around his chest pulled tighter. Yugi began to cry again. He was going to die….right here. In an old tomb, with no one there. Yugi closed his eyes and rested his head on the floor, letting the vines finish him off.
‘Yami….I’m so sorry….I…love …you…’
‘Ha…ha…ha…’
“YUGI!”
Yugi’s eyes shot back open at the sound of his Yami’s voice coming from the entrance way. Yami stumbled into the tomb, nearly falling over. Yugi could have cried out with happiness, if he wasn’t feeling so faint.
‘Yami…I knew…you….would come…Yami…’
Yugi’s head finally hit the floor.
“YUGI!”
Yami ran over to his aibou and pulling a small pocket knife from his pocket, grabbed a hold of the vine around Yugi’s neck and cut him free. Yami smiled when he still felt a pulse coming from Yugi. He grabbed a hold of Yugi’s arms and pulled, causing vines to snap.
Yami pulled again, desperate to free Yugi. Yami than heard a swish noise coming from behind him. Upon turning around, a skull shot forward and hit Yami square in the side of the head. Yami fell over to his left, completely spaced out. He stumbled back onto all fours and soon fell over again. Yami opened his eyes to find them completely red with blood that was pouring down the right side of his forehead. He fell over again and soon, Yami heard the vines moving around behind him, wrapping around Yugi again. Yami pulled himself around back to face Yugi and grabbed a hold of his wrist. Using one hand, Yami pulled again. Once Yami got close enough, he wrapped one arm under Yugi’s underarm and around to rest his hand on his back. Yami pulled again until the vines finally let go. With a swish, Yami pulled Yugi free of the vines and flew back wards, Yugi landing in his lap. Yami, with his back up against the wall, gripped onto Yugi and tried his best to pull himself, and Yugi, off the floor.
Still dazed from when the skull hit him, Yami climbed upwards until he was fully standing, holding onto a vine for balance. Yami watched as all the vines retreated off the floor and up the walls, away from himself and Yugi. Breathing rather heavy, Yami made his way toward the exit, dragging Yugi along him.
‘You cannot escape from me…little lovely fools…ever…’
Yami fell forward onto his knees, to dazed to walk anymore. He looked behind him, than back to the exit. There was no way he could pull himself and Yugi up those stairs. Sweat poured down Yami’s face as he thought about to do. Panic began to catch him a he got back up and tried to walk. Yami than stopped when he felt a small amount of pressure on his shoulder. He turned to see that Yugi had opened his eyes and was looking at him. They were red with tears as he watched the blood pour from his darker half’s head.
‘Yami…your…bleeding,” whispered Yugi.
Yami simply nodded at his aibou and continued to walk along. Yugi lifted his face up towards where his yami was bleeding. Sensing Yugi moving, Yami stopped again. His eyes went wide when he felt Yugi kiss the gash in his forehead and whisper,
“I’m sorry…it’s…all my fault….”
With an understanding smile, Yami finally fell over again. Yugi stayed standing, since he was able to hold himself up now. He stared at his fallen Yami and knelt near his face. His eyes were half lidded and he was breathing very hard.
“Yami…can you hear me? Yami?” asked Yugi.
Yami gave a nod as a reply and mumbled something that Yugi didn’t catch. Using all his strength, Yugi pulled Yami up into a sitting position and leaned him against the wall. Yugi than ripped a piece of his shirt free and placed it to were Yami was bleeding. He held his hand there, trying to stop a little of the bleeding. Within seconds, the bit of Yugi’s white shirt he had ripped off was stained a bright red. Yugi pushed harder as the blood started to come through the cloth. He sniffed and leaned forward to his Yami’s ear.
“It won’t stop bleeding…,” cried Yugi. “What do I do?”
Yami stayed quiet as Yugi looked at him for an answer. Yami opened his eyes a bit and looked at Yugi.
“I don’t… know,” whispered Yami. Yami than pointed to his pocket.
Yugi started at him, what was in his pocket?
‘Don’t you close your eyes little love…ha…ha…ha…the reaper comes for you…’
Yugi eyes widened as he heard another noise coming from behind him. The skulls and the vines had begun to move again and come toward them. Soon a loud laughter came from all around them. Yugi clutched his head tightly as they all continued to laugh. Yami opened his eyes as far as he could to look around the room. He stopped on Yugi on the floor beside him, crying and holding his head. Yami looked down to his pocket again and slowly slipped his hand into it.
“Yugi…,“ whispered Yami.
Yugi turned back around to see his yami holding a beautiful sliver cross. Yugi stared at it for a second and finally took it from Yami. Yugi just looked at the object in his hand for a few minutes. Than it hit him. Yugi turned back around to face the vines and skulls laughing at him on the other side of the room and held up the cross. They all crawled back further, away from it. They all smashed against the opposite wall and hissed and for the first time in days, Yugi smiled. Yami soon smiled right after him…Ryou was right. Yami lent forward to catch his aibou in an embrace, but quickly noticed one vine on the other side of the room twisting and molding into a sharp point. His eyes widened as he watched it take aim and fire towards Yugi.
Placing his arms against the wall, Yami pushed himself forward and grabbed Yugi and pushed him onto the floor to the right. Yugi hit the ground and was dazed out for a minute or two until he heard Yami scream from behind him. Quickly turning his head around to face Yami, he just caught the sight of the vine, twisted into a dagger, slice right through Yami’s neck. Yami made gasps for air as blood raced from his mouth. Yami turned his head to face his aibou, lying on the floor, looking at him in horror.
With one final smile, Yami’s eyes fell backwards into his head and he fell to the floor.
Yugi laid, horror struck at his yami’s body. No…no, no, no, no, no, no!
“YAMI!!!!!!” screamed Yugi.
“Ha…ha…ha…the Bell tolls as the Reaper depart. The Bell tolls as the Reaper depart….’
As the laughter and voice continued with the haunting song, Yugi had all ready made his way over to Yami. He pulled his body over to him and turned him over. The vine had already rejoined the others, leaving a large hole in the middle of Yami’s neck. Yugi tried to avoid looking at it, but finally had to through his jacket over it. He stroked his yami’s face gently as he cried. Yugi held on to Yami tightly as the vines, along with laughing skulls twisted there way to them. Yugi pulled tighter as the vines traveled up around Yami’s and his body. They twisted around them and crawled over them slowly. Yugi closed his eyes as the vines made their way to his face and circled his mouth. He opened them again as the his own Millennium Eye began to glow on his forehead
Yugi was soon blinded from his own magic as a powerful light spread through the room. With a loud bang, the light smashed against the walls. The roof of the tomb began to crack and break as small bits of dust fell onto Yugi. Yugi looked upwards to see the roof smash and sensing it would cave in, he snuggled into his cold Yami. The rocks finally caved in.
‘Everyone…I will see you soon…I’m sorry.’
What are these?
Black feather of which float in the moonlit sky
The stars shine on your pale face and dance in your soft eyes.
The shimmer of red hot blood drips onto your eyes, falling into the curves of your face and body.
I hold you
Tight in my arms.
Never letting you go.
Until the doors of heaven and hell fuse together to become a new Earth. I hear your sobs as you cry deeper and deeper into me.
My soul aces for you.
Feel no more pain because I am here to hold you.
Never leaving you.
I feel your soul ripping away at me, for some sort of hope.
You will find it. Place your trust and hope in me.
Yet you still bleed. Blue, clear tears fall quietly onto my placed hands. Holding your heavy head.
Cry into me again.
Let me feel the pain of your soul as it walks deeper and deeper into darkness.
I can feel it pull you, us, in. I don’t care where we end.
As long as I’m with you.
Blood races from me as I cradle you. Am I dieing too? Yes, I will die with you, for you. It rips at us, but I still won’t let go.
Death is painful. I feel it crawling into your body, slowly going cold.
No, you can’t
You can’t leave me. Please, my love, don’t give up.
Many deaths please save him. Let him be.
Oh God, please. Answer my prayer and save him.
Take me instead
I will serve you better than he.
Untainted and clean
Oh, rip my beating, bleeding heart from my chest
Rip it from me.
Place it eternal darkness
Wrap it in the pain
Of this dieing world
I will take this…for him.
Strangle me in sadness, darkness.
I will drown in the shadows
I will drink the blood of the poisoned
Stare into the eyes of demons.
Take me and save him.
He goes limp.
Cold body.
No! This can’t be!
Your warmth fades from me. As I touch your face, wake up
Show me those soft eyes again.
Tears and silence.
Silence
Deadly silence.
Your silver soul pulled from you.
Pulled to another plain.
Far away from me forever.
I only hear my cries now.
Yours have faded away.
Swallowed in the halls of heaven
My fingers run across your cold lips.
Lips that kissed me so sweetly.
Never again.
I lost you.
Please come back
Your face pale and silent and cold.
My love, cold as ice and frozen as snow
Frozen for all time
I become frozen
I stare into you
Life has left you
Death is finished with you
Not me, I will never be
Death is an interesting thing.
It causes pain in the hearts of the loved ones.
Haunts them with the memories of their final moments.
But then again,
Ends the pain that you feel.
It brings you quiet and sleep.
Restful and peaceful sleep.
Death has taken you from me
Death has freed you from your pain.
My tears fall to your face and wash away the vital red liquid that surrounds us.
Should I follow you?
Would you want that?
I feel as though I have nothing else.
I feel cold inside
Numbness catches me
You catch me as I fall into the pathway to heaven.
Or hell?
Let the Grim Reaper decide.
Drag me down to the caves and fiery keeps of Hell.
Or up into the golden walks and crystal streams of Heaven.
Wherever you are
I will follow you.
I won’t be afraid.
Take me now, Death; serve your purpose well this night
Deep into the crypts and cut my soul to ribbons
My shimmering soul glides into the moonlight to follow you
My Love, wait for me
I am coming
To ever be by your side
Even if your heart would turn to ashes and mine to dust
No more tears in the starry moonlight sky.
Your love reaches me and falls onto the steps of the stars as golden blood
Flowing down their bronze steps.
Wrap your arms around me and never let me go.
I will stay with you as the ties of love bind.
Always, even in Death, My Love.
_END_
AnimeGal4: (cries her heart out) OH MY GOD! Ok, that had to be the saddest thing I ever wrote in my whole life! Oh, and just to let everyone know, at the end of this fic, was an original poem written by me. It was the inspiration for this story. I thought I would wait till the end to tell you guys that. So what did you think? I really liked how it turned out in the end. I think I just might write another one sometime. But that will be a long time off. I will start writing the new one. ALSO…school is coming! I know…I know…all you people must hate school. But I’m telling everyone right now, when you live in a REALLY small town with NOTHING TO DO, you want to go back to school as soon as possible. It was also brought to my attention that there wasn’t a lot of yoai in this story, even though it IS a YamixYugi story. So for this chapter, I threw a bit in. Hope you all liked! Well I’m hoping to here comments and stuff from everyone! Well to everyone out there, till I write again! Bye Bye and God Bless you guys!

Thump…thump, thump
‘What’s that sound?’
Thump…thump…thump…
‘It’s…my heart! I can still hear it…but….’
Thump…thump, thump
‘I can’t see…everything is black…’
Thump…thump…thump
‘Yami? Where…where are you?’
Thump, thump, thump
‘Yami, answer me! What’s happening to me!?’
Whispers… whisper in silence….cold silence whispering…freeze…

“Ha…ha…ha…”
Yugi winced as he heard that laughter in his head again. He sat back on his heels and pushed his hands onto his head and held on tightly. His hair was wet…had he been near water? No...It was sweat…it was dripping down his face…
“Yami…no.”
‘Ha… ha… ha….’
“Shut up! Stop laughing! Leave me alone!”
‘Ha…ha…ha.’
“STOP IT DAMNMIT! DAMNMIT! DAMNMIT! GOD DAMNMIT!”
Yugi continued to shout as he stood up and began to race down the remainder of the street, still clutching his head.
“LEAVE ME ALONE! STOP MAKING ME KILL EVERYONE!!” cried Yugi.
Yugi’s foot than caught the edge of the curve, causing him to fall over onto the sidewalk. Yugi sniffed a few times before pulling himself up from the ground again. He stayed on all floors and looked up to see what was in front of him. He gasped to see, dead straight ahead, was the Domino Cemetery. Where this whole mess began….

‘There is much more in store love…just you wait…plenty….Are you forgetting your friend? Your love? He still walks… still breathes…still lives…he must be silenced….ha…ha…ha.’
‘No! Stay away from him! He didn’t do anything to you!’
‘And want happens if I kill him? What will you do?’
‘I will kill you if you touch him.’
‘Strong words little love…so I have awakened your urge to kill…ha…ha…ha…’
Yugi stopped at his own words. He had never threatened anyone in his whole life. What was this thing doing to him?
‘Just leave me alone!’
‘Lost your gull? Poor…little…love…ha…ha…ha…’
‘Yami…help me…’
A smile.
‘Yami? Yami can’t help you…why would he risk his own life to save you? You silly little fool…’
‘You’re wrong! He will help me because…he loves me…’
‘Love? You believe in such foolishness?’
‘Yes…I do.’
Another smirk.
‘Turn around and face me love…turn back to the tomb and enter it…’
‘No! I will never go in there again!’
‘Go love…before I get angry…to the tomb…’
‘NO!’
Yugi felt his body begin to move without a command. The evil was controlling his body!
Yugi let out a scream for help, but no sound left him. His whole body began to burn and twist. As if wrapped in red hot chains, his body heaved forward. Yugi tired to pull back, but his body wouldn’t listen. Yugi felt like a live marionette as he was forced closer and closer to the black gates. He tried to scream out again. Every part of his body screamed and twisted with him, the red hot chains, pulling him closer and closer to hell on Earth itself.
_YAMI_
“YUGI! ANSWER ME! WHERE ARE YOU!?”
Yami stopped in the middle of the street, huffing and puffing. He called out again.
“YUGI!”
Still no answer, just like it had been for the hour and a half he had been running around, like a rat in a maze, looking for him. Since it was way after dark, Yami had no idea where he was. He walked over to the nearest street light and leaned against it. With his back to it, Yami peered down to the silver cross that was still clenched tightly in his hand. All is friends…were gone…
“Joey-kun…Marik-kun,” winced Yami.
“Ryou-kun…Bakura….”
How could he have let this all happen? He knew he sensed something was wrong when Yugi came home that night. Why didn’t he do anything right than and there? If he did…everyone would still be…
Yami began to cry, for the first time in his life. The pain of his friends’ deaths was killing him, burning him inside. How could he have let this happen? It was all his fault…his Yugi, his aibou, his love, he had become a killer…and Yami didn’t know whether or not he could stop him. He …failed him…he failed Yugi…
‘YAMI! HELP ME PLEASE!’
Yami froze at the sound of his aibou’s voice, echoing inside his head. He could hear him…he was still there! Yami pushed his weight back onto his two feet and listened again. He stumbled a bit, but caught himself against the street lamp. He continued to listen for another call.
‘Yami! Help….cemetery…help…Yami!’
“Yugi…,” smiled Yami.
Yami took off as fast as he could towards the cemetery were his aibou had instructed him to go. Turning a corner, he found himself on the east entrance of the Domino Cemetery.
“Well, that was lucky…that’s why I could hear him, he was close to me.”
Running up to the East Gates, Yami tugged hard on them. When releasing they were locked, Yami took a few steps back and gave the lock a kick, hoping it would break off. It didn’t.
“Shit…,” whispered Yami.
He quickly looked around of something to break the locked with. When he saw nothing, he did the only thing he could do. He walked up to the lock and placed both hands over it. Focusing his mental strength, Yami whispered…
‘Open…open…open…’
Yami’s millennium eye began to shine brightly on his forward and soon, the lock shattered and slipped off the gates. With a victory smirk, Yami opened the gates and walked inside. He could feel Yugi somewhere near by. He looked every which way, trying to spot his aibou. It was to dark to see anything, and it didn’t help when the last thing he saw Yugi wearing was black. Yami closed his eyes and tried to send a message to Yugi.
‘Yugi...I’m here…where are you?’
‘Yami…I….’
‘Yugi, I need to know where you are. Tell me.’
‘…’
‘Yugi!”
His aibou was probably too weak to answer him any farther. He opened his eyes and began to walk along to pathway through the cemetery. Heading west, Yami cut off the path and darted in between tomb stones. He remembered that Bakura had mentioned a tomb. Looking into the distance best he could, he couldn’t see any tombs there. He figured that they had to be somewhere either north or south. Turning back onto the pathway, he began to head north. Nothing there either.
Yami started to become frustrated with this. Where the hell was this tomb thing? Maybe near the church? The church was in the south, he knew that. He quickly turned around. Keeping a steady pace, Yami ran toward the south. After for what seemed like hours running, Yami leaned over a tomb stone to breathe a minute. He really had to calm down; his chest was really starting to hurt now. It burned and Yami found it was harder to catch his breath this time. With his breathing becoming hoarse, Yami continued along the pathway at a slow walk, clutching his chest. He stumbled around a bit and soon had to stop again. He breathed in quicker and quicker and coughed a bit. He really didn’t feel too great at the moment. He was sweating all over and could barely keep from falling over from exhaustion.
“YUGI!” shouted Yami.
Like Yugi could answer him….he picked up walking again, slowly, down the pathway. Slowly, he saw the church come into view and there, on the far side, was a large tomb that appeared to be wide open. That had to be it. With a small, tired smile Yami made his way over to it, leaning on tomb stones as he went.
_YUGI_
“LEAVE ME ALONE! STOP IT!” shouted Yugi from inside the tomb.
The evil inside him had forced him down into the tomb and into the room where Bakura had broken the urn. The skulls still laid in every direction, mouths hung open. Some appeared to be cackling at him as he was pushed closer and closer to the middle of the room. Yugi was forced to his knees and the skulls and their vines wrapped around his arms and ankles, keeping him still. Yugi struggled against his binds but couldn’t break them.
‘Ha…ha…ha…your mine little love…’
‘Let me go!’
‘The boy wishes to be freed…ha…ha…ha…’
The skulls around Yugi began to twist and turn in laugher.
‘Ha…ha…ha…’
‘STOP LAUGHING! ALL OF YOU! STOP IT! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE…please…stop…’
‘Ha…ha…ha’
Yugi fell from all fours and onto the cold stone floor. He could feel the skulls circle around him to hold him tighter. He sniffed as vines spread across his face, tying his mouth up so he couldn’t scream anymore. They wrapped tighter and tighter around his stomach and chest. Yugi winced as a few bit him in random places, making the whole experience worse. Yugi forced his head to the ceiling and began to cry. This couldn’t be how it would end…it just couldn’t be.
“I don’t want to die…I don’t want to die…I don’t want to DIE!” cried Yugi.
Yugi pulled and pushed against the vines holding him to the floor. He had to get out, he just had to. Yugi cried in frustration as the vines wrapped tighter around him. He bit at the vine holding his mouth shut and pulled himself forward. Finally freeing an arm, Yugi reached a head of him and grabbed a hold of the vine nearest to him. He pulled away from the vines grip. Yugi could hear some vines snap from behind him, telling him that they were breaking. Yugi pulled out again, causing more vines to snap.
‘Silly little boy…ha…ha…ha…’
Yugi yelped as the skulls shot from the walls and wrapped tightly around his neck. This made Yugi stop in his tracks. They tightened, making Yugi cough and fall over. The vines quickly tied him up again. Yugi tried to scream but the vines circled around his mouth again, cutting him off. The vines around his neck became tighter and tighter. Yugi soon felt his face getting warmer and warmer. He gasped out, needing to breathe. Yugi struggled again, but couldn’t free himself. The vines had wrapped around him to tight he could barely feel his body anymore. The vines pushed on his throat further and soon Yugi could barley make a breath. The vines circled around his chest pulled tighter. Yugi began to cry again. He was going to die….right here. In an old tomb, with no one there. Yugi closed his eyes and rested his head on the floor, letting the vines finish him off.
‘Yami….I’m so sorry….I…love …you…’
‘Ha…ha…ha…’
“YUGI!”
Yugi’s eyes shot back open at the sound of his Yami’s voice coming from the entrance way. Yami stumbled into the tomb, nearly falling over. Yugi could have cried out with happiness, if he wasn’t feeling so faint.
‘Yami…I knew…you….would come…Yami…’
Yugi’s head finally hit the floor.
“YUGI!”
Yami ran over to his aibou and pulling a small pocket knife from his pocket, grabbed a hold of the vine around Yugi’s neck and cut him free. Yami smiled when he still felt a pulse coming from Yugi. He grabbed a hold of Yugi’s arms and pulled, causing vines to snap.
Yami pulled again, desperate to free Yugi. Yami than heard a swish noise coming from behind him. Upon turning around, a skull shot forward and hit Yami square in the side of the head. Yami fell over to his left, completely spaced out. He stumbled back onto all fours and soon fell over again. Yami opened his eyes to find them completely red with blood that was pouring down the right side of his forehead. He fell over again and soon, Yami heard the vines moving around behind him, wrapping around Yugi again. Yami pulled himself around back to face Yugi and grabbed a hold of his wrist. Using one hand, Yami pulled again. Once Yami got close enough, he wrapped one arm under Yugi’s underarm and around to rest his hand on his back. Yami pulled again until the vines finally let go. With a swish, Yami pulled Yugi free of the vines and flew back wards, Yugi landing in his lap. Yami, with his back up against the wall, gripped onto Yugi and tried his best to pull himself, and Yugi, off the floor.
Still dazed from when the skull hit him, Yami climbed upwards until he was fully standing, holding onto a vine for balance. Yami watched as all the vines retreated off the floor and up the walls, away from himself and Yugi. Breathing rather heavy, Yami made his way toward the exit, dragging Yugi along him.
‘You cannot escape from me…little lovely fools…ever…’
Yami fell forward onto his knees, to dazed to walk anymore. He looked behind him, than back to the exit. There was no way he could pull himself and Yugi up those stairs. Sweat poured down Yami’s face as he thought about to do. Panic began to catch him a he got back up and tried to walk. Yami than stopped when he felt a small amount of pressure on his shoulder. He turned to see that Yugi had opened his eyes and was looking at him. They were red with tears as he watched the blood pour from his darker half’s head.
‘Yami…your…bleeding,” whispered Yugi.
Yami simply nodded at his aibou and continued to walk along. Yugi lifted his face up towards where his yami was bleeding. Sensing Yugi moving, Yami stopped again. His eyes went wide when he felt Yugi kiss the gash in his forehead and whisper,
“I’m sorry…it’s…all my fault….”
With an understanding smile, Yami finally fell over again. Yugi stayed standing, since he was able to hold himself up now. He stared at his fallen Yami and knelt near his face. His eyes were half lidded and he was breathing very hard.
“Yami…can you hear me? Yami?” asked Yugi.
Yami gave a nod as a reply and mumbled something that Yugi didn’t catch. Using all his strength, Yugi pulled Yami up into a sitting position and leaned him against the wall. Yugi than ripped a piece of his shirt free and placed it to were Yami was bleeding. He held his hand there, trying to stop a little of the bleeding. Within seconds, the bit of Yugi’s white shirt he had ripped off was stained a bright red. Yugi pushed harder as the blood started to come through the cloth. He sniffed and leaned forward to his Yami’s ear.
“It won’t stop bleeding…,” cried Yugi. “What do I do?”
Yami stayed quiet as Yugi looked at him for an answer. Yami opened his eyes a bit and looked at Yugi.
“I don’t… know,” whispered Yami. Yami than pointed to his pocket.
Yugi started at him, what was in his pocket?
‘Don’t you close your eyes little love…ha…ha…ha…the reaper comes for you…’
Yugi eyes widened as he heard another noise coming from behind him. The skulls and the vines had begun to move again and come toward them. Soon a loud laughter came from all around them. Yugi clutched his head tightly as they all continued to laugh. Yami opened his eyes as far as he could to look around the room. He stopped on Yugi on the floor beside him, crying and holding his head. Yami looked down to his pocket again and slowly slipped his hand into it.
“Yugi…,“ whispered Yami.
Yugi turned back around to see his yami holding a beautiful sliver cross. Yugi stared at it for a second and finally took it from Yami. Yugi just looked at the object in his hand for a few minutes. Than it hit him. Yugi turned back around to face the vines and skulls laughing at him on the other side of the room and held up the cross. They all crawled back further, away from it. They all smashed against the opposite wall and hissed and for the first time in days, Yugi smiled. Yami soon smiled right after him…Ryou was right. Yami lent forward to catch his aibou in an embrace, but quickly noticed one vine on the other side of the room twisting and molding into a sharp point. His eyes widened as he watched it take aim and fire towards Yugi.
Placing his arms against the wall, Yami pushed himself forward and grabbed Yugi and pushed him onto the floor to the right. Yugi hit the ground and was dazed out for a minute or two until he heard Yami scream from behind him. Quickly turning his head around to face Yami, he just caught the sight of the vine, twisted into a dagger, slice right through Yami’s neck. Yami made gasps for air as blood raced from his mouth. Yami turned his head to face his aibou, lying on the floor, looking at him in horror.
With one final smile, Yami’s eyes fell backwards into his head and he fell to the floor.
Yugi laid, horror struck at his yami’s body. No…no, no, no, no, no, no!
“YAMI!!!!!!” screamed Yugi.
“Ha…ha…ha…the Bell tolls as the Reaper depart. The Bell tolls as the Reaper depart….’
As the laughter and voice continued with the haunting song, Yugi had all ready made his way over to Yami. He pulled his body over to him and turned him over. The vine had already rejoined the others, leaving a large hole in the middle of Yami’s neck. Yugi tried to avoid looking at it, but finally had to through his jacket over it. He stroked his yami’s face gently as he cried. Yugi held on to Yami tightly as the vines, along with laughing skulls twisted there way to them. Yugi pulled tighter as the vines traveled up around Yami’s and his body. They twisted around them and crawled over them slowly. Yugi closed his eyes as the vines made their way to his face and circled his mouth. He opened them again as the his own Millennium Eye began to glow on his forehead
Yugi was soon blinded from his own magic as a powerful light spread through the room. With a loud bang, the light smashed against the walls. The roof of the tomb began to crack and break as small bits of dust fell onto Yugi. Yugi looked upwards to see the roof smash and sensing it would cave in, he snuggled into his cold Yami. The rocks finally caved in.
‘Everyone…I will see you soon…I’m sorry.’
What are these?
Black feather of which float in the moonlit sky
The stars shine on your pale face and dance in your soft eyes.
The shimmer of red hot blood drips onto your eyes, falling into the curves of your face and body.
I hold you
Tight in my arms.
Never letting you go.
Until the doors of heaven and hell fuse together to become a new Earth. I hear your sobs as you cry deeper and deeper into me.
My soul aces for you.
Feel no more pain because I am here to hold you.
Never leaving you.
I feel your soul ripping away at me, for some sort of hope.
You will find it. Place your trust and hope in me.
Yet you still bleed. Blue, clear tears fall quietly onto my placed hands. Holding your heavy head.
Cry into me again.
Let me feel the pain of your soul as it walks deeper and deeper into darkness.
I can feel it pull you, us, in. I don’t care where we end.
As long as I’m with you.
Blood races from me as I cradle you. Am I dieing too? Yes, I will die with you, for you. It rips at us, but I still won’t let go.
Death is painful. I feel it crawling into your body, slowly going cold.
No, you can’t
You can’t leave me. Please, my love, don’t give up.
Many deaths please save him. Let him be.
Oh God, please. Answer my prayer and save him.
Take me instead
I will serve you better than he.
Untainted and clean
Oh, rip my beating, bleeding heart from my chest
Rip it from me.
Place it eternal darkness
Wrap it in the pain
Of this dieing world
I will take this…for him.
Strangle me in sadness, darkness.
I will drown in the shadows
I will drink the blood of the poisoned
Stare into the eyes of demons.
Take me and save him.
He goes limp.
Cold body.
No! This can’t be!
Your warmth fades from me. As I touch your face, wake up
Show me those soft eyes again.
Tears and silence.
Silence
Deadly silence.
Your silver soul pulled from you.
Pulled to another plain.
Far away from me forever.
I only hear my cries now.
Yours have faded away.
Swallowed in the halls of heaven
My fingers run across your cold lips.
Lips that kissed me so sweetly.
Never again.
I lost you.
Please come back
Your face pale and silent and cold.
My love, cold as ice and frozen as snow
Frozen for all time
I become frozen
I stare into you
Life has left you
Death is finished with you
Not me, I will never be
Death is an interesting thing.
It causes pain in the hearts of the loved ones.
Haunts them with the memories of their final moments.
But then again,
Ends the pain that you feel.
It brings you quiet and sleep.
Restful and peaceful sleep.
Death has taken you from me
Death has freed you from your pain.
My tears fall to your face and wash away the vital red liquid that surrounds us.
Should I follow you?
Would you want that?
I feel as though I have nothing else.
I feel cold inside
Numbness catches me
You catch me as I fall into the pathway to heaven.
Or hell?
Let the Grim Reaper decide.
Drag me down to the caves and fiery keeps of Hell.
Or up into the golden walks and crystal streams of Heaven.
Wherever you are
I will follow you.
I won’t be afraid.
Take me now, Death; serve your purpose well this night
Deep into the crypts and cut my soul to ribbons
My shimmering soul glides into the moonlight to follow you
My Love, wait for me
I am coming
To ever be by your side
Even if your heart would turn to ashes and mine to dust
No more tears in the starry moonlight sky.
Your love reaches me and falls onto the steps of the stars as golden blood
Flowing down their bronze steps.
Wrap your arms around me and never let me go.
I will stay with you as the ties of love bind.
Always, even in Death, My Love.
