DARKNESS CONSUMES THE LIGHT
by Sansi
Chapter 10: Who am I to you?
-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
He is using you. Why can’t you see that? We told you that from the beginning! The shadows whispered near his ear, enticing the former hikari even more as they held the light’s mind trapped in their cold embrace.
There was nowhere and no-one Yugi could run to. Nobody helped him to free himself, but he refused to let the swirling shadows have their way. ’But … he saved me countless of times. Isn’t that worth anything? He always made sure that I was feeling alright and that I wasn’t left behind. He cares about me’ the light countered swiftly.
Are you sure? the voices seemed doubtful and successfully raised Yugi’s suspicion.
’Why would you think that? Of course, he cares for me. We’re partners, he told me that’ the hikari’s thoughts were meant to convince the shadows. The words sounded strong and persuasive. He would show the darkness in his mind! ‘I trust him. He would never hurt me’
You seem so sure about that. Did you forget how he was before you freed him? The shadow king was cruel. He banished people to the shadow realm without a reason. He was willing to kill Kaiba when you duelled. And for what? …
Yugi interrupted them. He didn’t want them to raise his doubts even more… doubts that were killing him since the other went to the afterlife. Though he couldn’t allow himself to dwell on them or his heart would surely break. ‘He had his reasons. He wanted to help me save Grandpa. That was a good enough point for me. Moreover, he promised to never go against my wishes again.’
But why should you believe that? Why would you trust a merciless killer? You know that he was responsible for the destruction of Egypt. He was about to destroy the world.
’No. It was you who were out to conquer mankind. Yami stopped you and saved the world! He is a hero and not a traitor’
But how could we? We were under the pharaoh’s control. Without him, we couldn’t have done any harm. It was never our intention to hurt the people. We did as was told us. Nothing more – nothing less. We are slaves to him as you are now …
’I was never his slave. I was and I’m still his friend. I would never hurt him and I know that he would do the same for me. You’ll see, he will come and save me soon.’
You fool. Do you think he ever thought you were worth the dirt under his feet? You were his host. A body with a weak soul that he could easily take over whenever he pleased. Though in the end, he couldn’t bear your presence any longer and he returned to the afterlife. Everything he ever did for you was in the end for himself.
’No! NO! Yami isn’t like that. He is brave and kind and loyal and …’
And you love him, don’t you, innocent hikari? You foolishly fell in love with a person who thought of you as one it was his duty to protect. He played with you, little light. He tricked you and stomped on your feelings without mercy. Help us, beautiful light. Help us to seek revenge on the mankind and on the pharaoh.
’NO. I’ll never do that. I won’t hurt him, my friends or anyone else. You can’t make me’
We’ll see, little light. Give it time. Wait for your ‘hero’. Wait and see if he comes to save you. He won’t come and you’ll be alone. But we will be here for you and we will protect and cherish you. We keep you save and we’ll give you anything you want.
’Yami will come and save me and you’ll be sorry to be the centre of his wrath’
We’ll see hikari. We’ll see. But remember that WE will be always there for you. We would never let you hanging as your beloved pharaoh does. Accept this offer and we promise you, you’ll never feel pain again. We free you of your old life and we’ll be there for you always. What do you say?

”What?! How could that happen?” Joey inquired unbelievingly as Yami gave them a quick run-up of the latest occurrences.
”I’m not sure. It seems that they planned this all along and just waited for the right moment to strike. I can’t think of an explanation myself. But why Yugi? And why now?” the smooth voice of the pharaoh whispered. His vice cracked at the end, something the friends only have witnessed once.
Tea watched her friend sadly. Tears gathered in her own eyes and she did her best to not break down now. To save Yugi was their first priority.
Clearing his throat Joey decided to clear up a few things. Even if it wasn’t his place to tell Yami had to know about his light or they’ll never have a chance to see their friend again. It was truly sad, but once again the world depended on the pharaoh. However, this time he was personally involved. How will he handle the situation? “I don’t know about the ‘Why now?’ but I think I can answer the other question.”
”Then why don’t you tell me already!!” The darkness jumped up and shouted furiously. He was tired of everybody playing games with him and not telling him what really was going on.
The blonde took a deep breath “Well, you never seemed to have realised it, but Yugi has the hots for … auwww … Hey Tea! What was that for? That hurt!!” Joey rubbed the backside of his head in pain.
”Suit yourself, you big bully! You have really no sensitivity at all!” Tea scolded the taller teen.
”Guys, get a grip on yourself or Yami will have your heads!” Tristan, who came out of the kitchen with a cup of tea for the darker half reminded them of the task at hand.
Tea turned her attention back to the pharaoh who looked beyond pissed. When there was something about his hikari he sure had a hell of a temper.
”Yami … you may sit down for that now”
The pharaoh took a seat on the couch and Tea sat down next to him, laying a calming hand on his arm.
Struggling for a moment with the words she was about to say, she sighed. It wasn’t her place to tell him, but if she didn’t it may be too late for Yugi. “Yami, forget what Joey commented back there and let me rephrase it. Have you ever noticed how Yugi behaved around you?”
The darkness gave her a dumbfounded look and knitted his eyebrows deep in thought. What has that to do with anything?
The girl continued, apparently not concerned that the ancient ruler hadn’t caught on yet. Yugi had given him so many clues for a long time and the yami never looked beyond the surface. Though the signs were unconscious at first, did they become clearer when Yugi realised his feelings. His smile, his glances, his touches … his whole behaviour revealed him.
However, Yami was a man after all and in affairs of the heart they tend to be ignorant to all the clues the beloved one gives them. Even a Game King was no exception in that case.
”Did you never see how his face lit up when he saw you? That he was always by your side when you were out of the puzzle? How he smiled at you and how he blushed when you looked at him? How is eyes always seemed to sparkle … in fact he gave tons of proofs of his emotions, but you never registered the meaning behind it. Yami! Yugi loves you!”

Where are you going little light? The shadows questioned slyly.
’I’m going to take care of my life as you advised me to. It is about time that I show them who I really am. Especially Yami.’ Yugi answered as he went determinedly his way.
-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
Yami jumped up from the couch and run towards the door.
”Yami! Where are you going now?” Tea shouted after him.
The pharaoh stopped only for a moment and looked back at them. Their eyes grew wide as they saw how pale the darkness suddenly became. His face was as white as a sheet and his eyes had a very haunted look in them.
”I have to find him!” With those last words he was out the door and ran towards his hikari’s house. He begged to every god he knew that it wasn’t already to late.
The friends looked in horror as the friend left their house. The still open door rocked lightly back and forth before a sudden gust of wind smashed it closed.
A thunderstorm was coming up over Domino City.
