DARKNESS CONSUMES THE LIGHT
by Sansi
Chapter 11: Mohabbatein PART I
-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
He was running down the streets of Domino City at top speed. Water splashed on his shoes and pants as he fought against the storm that slowed him on his way to his destination. He paid no heed to red lights and cars that stopped millimetres from knocking him over, nor the enraged drivers and pedestrians he pushed to the side. Their scolds for his carelessness fell on deaf ears. They were right, he had been careless, but that had little to nothing to do with himself.
He ignored his feet hurting as they were taking him to the one who needed him. He didn’t even feel the rain lashing into his skin like thousands of needles. He didn’t pause even as his lungs were screaming for air, as the effort of sprinting wasn’t allowing enough oxygen to be pumped into them. He mentally shouted at his body to put through as it was already on the edge of breaking down from exhaustion and emotional pain. He didn’t listen to his heart which beat much too fast for someone who was already dead.
He wouldn’t fail him anymore and he wouldn’t break down until his other was safe again. His charge. His friend. His soulmate. His love.
The pain his body was in couldn’t compare to the misery in his soul.
-X-X-X Back with the friends -X-X-X
Pacing around the room restlessly Tea spoke out what the two other occupants were thinking about too. ”Where do you think did he go? … Something horrible must have happened to Yugi-I just know it! Did you see Yami’s face? I have never seen such a haunted expression before and by God I never want to witness it ever again.” The girl slung her arms around herself as she thought back to the moment, shuddering. She felt so utterly helpless standing there and not being able to help her friends.
Joey absently nodded in agreement, though he was obviously in deep thought as he tapped his fingers on the table “We have to follow him. We don’t know what is happening to Yugi and I don’t think Yami can face him alone. Finding out that it is his fault that Yugi is lost in the darkness … surely that has to take its toll on him. He may feel too guilty to be able to pull Yugi out of this mess.”
”But how can we find them? They could be anywhere. And even if we know where they are we don’t know what’s going on with either of them. We could mess it even more up. We have to think of a plan first,“ Tristan reasoned, in passing looking out the window. The rainstorm currently raging over the city had blown up out of nowhere.
”And what if we take too long and we can’t save them? I say we go now straight to the Game Shop and then go from there.” Joey jumped up from his seat as he said that. The blonde was never one who would sit around and wait when his friends were in danger even if he got himself killed in the process.
”But what if he isn’t there? We don’t have a link to Yugi like Yami does. They might come back here and what they find is an empty house with us idiots running around in the rain. Besides, we still don’t know what the shadows are planning. Do you remember the times we encountered them? They’ll use us as playtoys against both. I don’t want to go back to the Shadow Realm ever. Let’s wait here until Yami contacts us.” Tristan argued “And who knows Yugi might show up here …”
As if on command the door suddenly burst open, flying over their heads until it smashed against the opposite wall. As another lightning crossed the sky they could see a small figure standing in the door, their head hung low, blonde bangs dripping wet.
-X-X-X With Yami at the Game Shop-X-X-X
”NO NO NO!!! He must be here. Damnit! … Yugi … Yugi! Yugi are you here? Where did he go?” Yami shouted desperately. But there was no doubt that the house was deserted. When he came to the Game Shop the door wasn’t even closed so Yugi must have left in a hurry.
Without prior warning a pain shot through his system and forced him down on his knees. It went deeper than any physical wound ever could and the pharaoh gritted his teeth to blend out the sting. The eyes he didn’t know he closed opened bit by bit and then Yami’s face lost all healthy colour as he realised that his shadow magic was drained from him.
”Yugi … You wouldn’t! … Would you?”
-X-X-X Back with the friends -X-X-X
Tea was the first to recognize the person as her friend and rushed forward wanting to gather him in her arms, smother him with motherly affection and ask him if he was alright.
Too bad she never had the chance.
She wanted to reach out for him as she was suddenly roughly pulled backwards by a dark mist that covered her hands and feet.
With an absent movement of his hand the person sent one of his best friends flying against the wall. Tea didn’t got to scream only a muffled choked sound as her head hit the wall and she sunk unconscious to the floor.
Screaming her name Tristan ran towards her, Joey instead decided to turn towards Yugi or what was left of him “Yugi! What have you done?”
The smaller one shifted his head to the side frowning “No, we are not Yugi.” Joey immediately recognized the voice not as his friend’s … and a knot formed in his stomach as he knew this could only mean bad thing. It sounded much darker, devoid of any emotion not including confusion. It echoed in the room and sounded if more than one person spoke at the same time.
Holding a respectful distance from the one he used to call his best friend, Joey carefully examined the tri-coloured haired teenager in front of him. Except of the hair this one didn’t look like Yugi at all. His amethyst eyes now were pitch black and his face looked more angled and … was his skin colour darker?
Unbelievingly, Joey watched an uncharacteristic smirk forming on the seemingly ex-light’s face “What did you do to Yugi?”
”Yugi?!” the shadow of his friend replied confused. “Is this the name of the boy whose body we are in?”
Joey nodded, the colour leaving his face. Who or what was in the hikari’s body?
”We don’t want to be here. We want to go back to Master. But this boy somehow has us captured. His hate is what is making us strong. We just do what he is commanding us to do.”
”No! No, Yugi would never do something like that. He is the pure light, a hikari. He would never hurt a fly, never mind a human or his friends. You’re lying!” Joey shouted disbelieving, defending his friend fiercely.
”His feelings are telling us something different. He is full of rage, anger and pain …”
The shadows haltered for a moment.
”What is the matter?” the blonde asked intrigued, his eyes never leaving the one in front of him.
Unfocusing eyes were glancing at Joey “We received a new command.” they replied in a monotone deep voice.
”What did he tell you?”
”Kill.”

Without so much as the blink of an eye Joey found himself smashed against the wall too. Barely conscious, he saw the shadows coming towards him. In a rush of panic he tried to move, but something held his feet and hands firmly and it wouldn’t bulge.
Frantically, he looked around for Tristan, but the other was knocked out cold on the ground next to Tea. Black smoke covered the floor, slowly spreading out towards him.
This isn’t good. Joey thought as he struggled even harder, trying to free his hands.
The Yugi-look-a-like was standing in front of him, emotionless eyes inspecting him as he fought for his life.
Breathless, Joey managed a few words “ … Yugi … come … … back … to … us. It’s … me, Joey …” Before he the darkness overshadowed his mind.
Fury flashed in black eyes as his former friend whispered those words. How dare he!!! The Yugi they all knew wouldn’t come back ever. It was part of their fault that he couldn’t be happy anymore. They encouraged him to go.
They must pay.
Stretching his hand with his palm open black shadows poured into it. On his command the shadows formed a beautiful dagger.
First them then me.
Who would go first?
His hard eyes glanced over them without regret. His eyes settled on one figure.
Tea.
His arm shock for a fleeting moment, something in his was steering, but his feet where already sauntering towards the girl almost mockingly.
She must pay for trying to steal him away.
Yugi was about an arm reach away from her when suddenly something tackled him against the wall.
Who dares to interfere?
-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-X
His head snapped up in blind anger meeting the other with a glare that no mere mortal could muster. For the fraction of a second his features twisted in a funny display of despair, hurt and anger as he recognized the deep crimson eyes of his other.
Anger boiled in him as he saw the pharaoh gazing at him with pity and with other emotions he couldn’t decipher in his emotional state. Yugi tried to wrestle his arms free, but the other seemed to have foreseen the move and strengthened the grip. Though the new, darker Yugi would have none of that. He screamed and kicked after his captor. Instead of pushing Yami away it resulted in the yami pressing more tightly against Yugi. The younger one’s breathe quickened at the close proximity, clearly invading his personal space. The other let out a quiet sob as he kept his face hidden in the former hikari’s neck, waiting for the other to stop fighting him.
It hurt the yami that he couldn’t protect his aibou from himself.
”… Yugi …” Yami whispered, his lips right against his skin so the younger could feel every word right through him.
With unbelievable strength the smaller pulled his feet against the wall and pushed. The tanned arms loosened in shock and Yugi made use of the pharaoh’s stumble to push him to the ground.
Without a second wasted he straddled him. One of his hands held him down on the shoulder while the other was high in the air holding the dagger in it.
Yami focused on the dagger and then stared back at Yugi determinedly. If killing him would ease the other’s pain he would gladly accept his fate. He wasn’t meant to stay anyway. Motionlessly, he waited for the boy he came to love to end all of this. His features formed a sad smile, silently encouraging his light to do what he had to do.
The body of Yugi began to shake and his hand holding the weapon trembled even more. Without realising it he started to shed tears, streaming down his skin in rivers.
This was it, the chance to end his pain.
He could kill Yami. Yami would leave him anyway. But this way he could follow him.
It would end his pain!
But he hesitated.
After such a long time he stared at the face of his beloved and all will power left him.
His free hand fisted and smashed against his darkness’ chest again and again.
”WHY! WHY, WHY!” Yugi shouted, the emotional pain already tightening his throat until his voice left him completely.
How could Yami do this to him? Why did he leave him? How could he make him feel so much? … And why did he make him feel so weak? …
Instead of voicing all those questions out loud he continued to hit his other lying on the ground, inflicting physical pain for all the tears he cried after he was left alone. The curtain of darkness in his eyes vanished and made place for a swirl of confusion.
Yugi could feel himself becoming weaker and his punches slowed down.
Meanwhile Yami stared at the ceiling while a few tears were also forming in his eyes. He wouldn’t protect himself from the blows he received. It was a mild pain compared to the hurt his hikari went through.
As Yugi’s blows lost their intensity and the body above him began to shake even more Yami sat up and in a swift motion he pulled the struggling teen in a hug.
Instead of pushing him a way, the hikari clung to him, his crying gaining in intensity again.
Yami’s grip tightened as if he feared that Yugi would shake himself apart. He started to rock them back and forth one hand stroking his aibou’s hair while the other was wounded tightly around the other’s waist holding him close to his heart.
”I’m sorry, so sorry! …” he whispered to the boy in his arms, not sure or caring if the other heard him. Fond kisses were placed against Yugi’s hair to comfort not only the weeping hikari but himself as well.
After what seemed eternity Yugi stopped and pushed himself back a little bit so he could look in his yami’s eyes. “Yami, … I’m sor-“ He didn’t get to finish his sentence as the pharaoh silenced him with a finger against his lips and shook his head.
”No, you shouldn’t be sorry. I’m sorry for what I put you through. There is no excuse …” for once the pharaoh was at a loss for words. He was never good at expressing his feelings. It had always been his first priority to keep his light safe and happy, to protect him from any harm, but in the end he was the one who inflicted the deepest wound.
Interrupting the other half of his soul with a shake of his head, the hikari murmured. “No. It’s not your fault. I should have told you sooner. I should have stopped you from leaving … But now this all doesn’t matter anymore. You’re back. With me … and … and … I love you Yami … always and forever … always only you”
A tentative smile softened Yami’s feature “You know I would do anything for you, my Yugi … my partner. I love you too.”
With that he leaned towards his other, closing the gap between them swiftly to seal the promise with a kiss. Eyes closed simultaneously as heaven opened the gates for them. Parted lips greeted each other shyly as they expressed their feelings. Hands started to wander and learn each other in a new and intimate level.
Yugi felt Yami taking his hand while the other caressed his neck. For a second they pulled back to take a large gulp of air before leaning their heads at a greater angle to deepen the contact. In this short moment the hikari thought he heard Yami whisper something like “sorry”, but he couldn’t tell. His mind was in a daze and he didn’t want to think.
So he only registered Yami’s move only as it was too late. In a swift movement Yami had taken Yugi’s hand in both of his and rammed the dagger placed in it into his own chest.
With a cry of pain he pushed his love away and fell to the ground a large puddle of blood was already forming under him.
Though clearly in shock Yugi crawled back to his lover’s side and forced his mind back into working. WHAT and WHY did Yami do this?
Instinctively he grapped towards the dagger in the other’s chest to pull it out, but Yami slapped it away, his teeth gritted against the agony.
Yugi’s mind couldn’t comprehend everything fast enough, but he could already feel the sting of tears in his eyes.
”Yami, why?!” he whispered disbelievingly.
” … So … you … could … be … free” Yami could feel the life draining out of him very fast and the slowing down of his heart remembered him that his time was running short. “Please take … care … of yourself … Know … that I … will always … watch after … you” With that the crimson eyes closed for what could be the final time.

To be concluded!
THE END IS NEAR!!!
I’m quite pleased with most of this chapter (except the scene with Yami and Yugi). Hope you liked it anyway. If I had had the time I would have rewritten it though that would have taken much longer. I’ll be very busy for the next 2 months so don’t expect the final chapter before July. Thanks again for keeping up with me.
Please if you bothered to read review for my plot bunnies sake!
