DARKNESS CONSUMES THE LIGHT
by Sansi
Chapter 8: It wasn’t supposed to be like that …
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
~Darkness consumes the light ...
changing ... rearranging ...
when love is gone, all is gone ...
no hope ... no faith ... no chance ...
when you can do nothing ...
but scream the name of the one you lost ...~
[Nope, not mine. Me not own. Originally this was the poem inspiring me to write this fic. I don’t even know why I like it so much.]

Sitting in pitch-black nothingness, Yugi cried. There he was, all alone, unless one counted the soulless shadows, trapping him in their dark embrace. A bittersweet laugh on the young man’s lips died, drowned in the whispers of the shadows. That’s all the hikari had been so far. Alone. Everyone important in his life had left him sooner or later. But it wasn’t as if they had had much of a choice. Death usually didn’t ask questions before ending a life. Though this time it had been different …
Yami had had the choice to stay in the present with Yugi and his friends, beginning a new life. There was no reason to return to the afterlife, or so his light thought at least. But the pharaoh refused. At first Yami’s aibou had been shocked until fright and desperation took its place.
The former king had tried to reason with them and their friends had agreed with his decision. Yami had just been a friend to them, but to Yugi he was his soul mate. That’s why the lighter half hadn’t understood his decision, didn’t it even now, but he supported his yami, not wanting to make the darkness feel guilty.
Yami had had his reasons, which were beyond the lighter half’s understanding. Still the younger of the two had had faith in his other half’s word that his departure had nothing to do with his aibou. At first the lighter half believed his protector, embracing every word of his darkness spoken to him like a beloved blanket … but now without his balance the promises hadn’t the same soothing affect.
’Should they call me selfish for all I care! I’m only human and we all make mistakes. I’m sick and tired of being innocent and understanding. Why can’t I do what I want for a change?’
A random thought took hold of his mind. ‘Hikari. Light. That’s what he used to call me back then. Now I ask myself - I, a light? I don’t think so. He should have been called my light. Ironic, isn’t it? Yami, the darkness personified was my light. My yami was there when I needed a friend a protector the most. It was mou hitori no boku [my other half], who saved my friends, my grandfather and me.’
Thinking of that, Yugi remembered other things his protector told him. ‘Yami promised to protect me always, staying at my side whenever I need him. AND?! Where is he now? I don’t know, but I do know one thing: HE ISN’T HERE, where he promised to be. What do I learn from that? Lies! Everything my yami told me were lies. Yami lied that he would be here! He lied that he would stay by my side. He lied that I was his aibou. He lied that I was his hikari. He probably even lied that he liked me …’
Yugi closed his eyes as the tears leaked out of their corners and trailed down his cheeks and then dropped to the ground. The voices had stopped, but Yugi didn’t realise that in his deep hurt. Low snickering, echoing through the night was the only reminder that the shadows were still there. They had completed their mission. They had poisoned the light’s heart.
”Yugi?!” a hesitantly whispered word, but the hikari detected the gentleness and softness in which his name was spoken by this familiar rich voice.
Yugi froze, but didn’t react otherwise. The young Mouto was tired of the shadow’s plays. After the time he spent in their captivity, the tri-colour haired boy knew their tricks to entertain themselves. This was another trick of them …
Still, a small, but growing part in his heart was willing to believe this illusion. Turning to the direction, where the deep voice was coming from Yugi’s breath caught in his throat.
Tears were now running down his cheeks like there was no tomorrow. Frustrated he punched his fist in the ground he was sitting on. It wasn’t fair. Why were the shadows so cruel? Wasn’t it enough that they insulted him and told him how worthless he was? He knew that much so far. Yugi was already broken so why did they still bother?
In answer to his silent questions, strong arms enfolded his shivering frame. For a moment Yugi let himself fall into the illusion, knowing that it will hurt even more later on, when reality punched him in the face. Nevertheless the lighter half bathed in the feeling of having his yami’s arms around him. The emotions were overwhelming, producing tears.
Gently, they were wiped away by a warm hand. Again more tears spilled from amethyst eyes. ‘It isn’t real. It isn’t real. It isn’t real.’
Yugi felt the other frowning and he looked up. Bittersweet hurt was on both faces. After separation a few weeks ago, they were finally reunited, but for how long?
”Aibou, what’s wrong?” Yami questioned worriedly, while continuing to brush the tears away. Yugi, instead of answering, moved his shaking arms to the pharaoh’s face, needing a confirmation that this was real. Taking a hold on both cheeks, he laid his head against the spirit’s chest, crying, but this time out of relief.
His yami was back. The hikari sobbed against his darker half, clinging to him like the pharaoh was his last lifeline. Little did Yami know about the emotions, shacking the frail body. He just enjoyed holding his precious hikari.
”Sh Yugi. Everything is all right. I’m sorry, so sorry.” The protectorhtenhtened his embrace, rocking until the tears of his little one subsidised.
Reluctantly backing away, Yami took a look at his light. Yugi was awfully pale and tired, not to mention extremely lonely.
”Are you okay, Yugi?” the pharaoh questioned with a frown on his face.
The hikari wanted to melt right there. How he had missed his yami. “Yes, I am. Now that you’re back, I’m going to be fine.”
Fidgeting, the ancient kind lowered his gaze to the floor. “Ah … yes.”
The lighter half studied his darkness, feeling uncomfortable with this answer. They were finally together and Yami stuttered around. “What do you mean by that?” he demanded darkly.
”You see … I came back to get you out of here … but I didn’t directly say that I was staying … for long at least.” he admitted defeated, averting Yugi’s eyes. Nothing could make the yami lie to his light and this was no exception. Nevertheless, he felt guilty for hurting his aibou’s feelings.
Yugi felt a pang in his chest. ”What? You mean, you just came back to take me home and that was it? Then you’re leaving again? How can you do that to me!” Yugi shot back bitterly, something very out of character. Yugi’s features twisted, hiding his true emotions. His whole form trembled.
”Aibou …” Yami tried to explain.
”Don’t call me that, PHARAOH!” the other hissed darkly. All of his hurt was forgotten for now. Anger took over, suppressing all other feelings for his darker half.
”But …”
”Take me home.”
”Yugi, I …”
”I don’t want to hear your lame excuses! Take me home and leave. I don’t care anymore.” Yugi growled. Seeing his aibou in this position with his trembling fists at his side, Yami knew better than to reason with him.
Without a word, he took his aib… NO! … Yugi’s hand and teleported them to the Game Shop. When the lighter half opened his eyes, he was alone in his room, no trace of his protector’s presence.
As he starred out of the window, he wondered if that was what he really wanted …
