Chapter Two- Engulfing the Darkness


Yami had been slumped over against the wall for a few hours now. The numbers on the digital clock on the desk changed to 8:00, thus awakening the alarm.

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz....

The buzzing alarm continued, boring into Yami's unconscience mind. Nodding his head a little, Yami began to awaken. His eyes opened slowly to see a red fuzzy image in the distance and darkness all over the room. As his eyes focused, he recognized it as the alarm clock in Yugi's dark bedroom.

Pulling himself to his feet, Yami looked around. "Yugi, are you here? Where are you? Just leave me then, jeez...brat..."

Yami walked around the room, stumbling a bit, looking for Yugi. He looked under a beer bottle...

"Is that why I'm so groggy? Am I drunk?" Yami swooned a bit, the breathed into the air. He could smell no beer in the air, and there was no lingering taste of it in his mouth.

"Huuuu....oh well! Are you under the desk? Noper. In bed? No....but who's panties are these? Weee! Someone had fun while I was asleep...you under the bed maybe? No, no. Oooh, but YOU are! Come ere, my sweet. What are you doing down there? You may get a lil too cold down there. Don't want ya cathin' any of them germies..."

Yami reached for the six pack under the bed and pulled it out with delight. He pulled the bottle out and tried to make out what it said with his still semi blurred vision.

"Twist...to open...kinda weird, but uhkay..." Yami laid the bottle on the bed and started to twist around the room. "Huuu...how does this open muh beer? Oooh...right. Twist the cap to open...heh heh heh..." Yami walked back over to the bed and grabbed the bottle, twisting the cap off. He then lifted the bottle to his mouth and began to drink. Some spilled out of his mouth and ran down his face.

Yami had downed the contents of the bottle in a matter of seconds. When he was done, he dropped it on the floor and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

Ding dong!

Yami looked toward the bedroom door where he heard the noise come from.

"Wazzat?" He stumbled to the door and opened it. Carefully making his way down the long staircase, he gt to the source of the noise.

"What is it?" He asked in an almost normal voice.

"It's Anzu. Can I come in? Jeeze, it's cold out here!"

"Uh huh..come one in..."

"Unlock the door, baka."

Yami turned the little thing that he thought was the lock, then turned the door knob. Anzu was standing there. She walked past him when he opened the door. He closed the door and turned around, grabbing her hand.

"Lets go up thar..."

Anzu yanked her hand out of his and glared at him evilly until he turned around.

"Wha---?"

As soon as he turned around, she pulled her arm back, then with full force slapped him straight across the face, then kneed him in the nuts, and ended by smashing her high heel into his foot. Putting her hands on her hips and a smirk on her face, she watched him cringe in pain and do a pain dance.

"What the fuck was THAT for?!" He yelled angrily at her.

"Cuz you were drunk and you were gonna take me up to your room and rape me or something! Are you normal now? If not, I got plenty of strenth left!"

Yami cursed under his breath and looked into her eyes, rubbing his cheek.

"I wouldn't rape anyone Anzu. Especially not you, unless I wanted to be hospitalized for life! Sorry I was acting weird, I don't know what came over me. But really, I need you to come to my room with me. There's something I need to show you."

Anzu nodded and they started up the stairs. He flipped the lights on as they entered the room and he waved her over to a chair. While she got situated, he walked over to his desk and grabbed a box.

"First of all, Yugi is gone. I don't know what happened exactly, I just know that I woke up and he was gone. The only thing I remember is that today is the 21st day, the day when i was supposed to depart from this world forever. Also, the Millinnium has lost any power that it onced possessed. My inference is that the ritual somehow reversed and Yugi was sent away forever, instead of me. The only clue I have to his whereabouts is this black diamond that somehow now forms the pupil of the Millinnium Eye (on the puzzle). I was hoping you would be able to help me out, because now I'm stuck."

Anzu had been examining the black diamond as Yami explained this to her. "We have to get him back Yami! It wasn;t him that was supposed to leave! I mean, you deserve to stay too, maybe there's a way that can happen, BUT if it was you who was supposed to leave, there has to be a reversal ritual. As for the diamond, I don't know what to tell you."

"Augh! This is giving me a headache! I'm going to go get us some soda, I'll be right back." He turned around, shaking his head, and left the room. She heard ice being put into glasses.

`This puzzle would go so great with that dress of mine! I hope he doesn't mind if I try it on!'

Lifting the chain above her head, she draped it around her neck. Surprisingly, the puzzle wasn't very heavy at all.

`I wonder how I look in it...' she thought as she got up and walked toward the mirror.

"Hey Anzu, we're out of orange, but I got-hey, what are you doing?!" Yami walked in the door and saw Anzu looking in the mirror strangely, turning the millinnium puzzle around.

"Yami, I think I've figured something out about this diamond." She turned to him and looked deep into his violet eyes. "If I do it though, you may never see me again."

***

Her last words echoed through his head, driving him mad. The only thing he cared about was Rin, he had to save her! Everything was happening in slow motion...Inuyasha letting go of Rin and looking at Sesshomaru amused, Rin making eye contact with Sesshomaru for not even a second, the last view of her arms flailing in the air.

He couldn't think straight, or pay attention to what he was doing. With a last look at Inuyasha, Sesshomaru ran past and jumped over the edge of the cliff.

Sesshomaru only saw one thing as he fell down the cliff- blood. Lots of blood. His stomach lurched...'Rin's blood?' Echoing off of the cliff walls came an insane laugh.

"Brother, since when do you care more about humans than yourself?"

Sesshomaru pondered over what he meant. His eyes widened in shock and looked down at his torso. It was bleeding, and bleeding bad. The odd feeling he was feeling for Rin was his stomach being pulled out. How could he have been so careless? He suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded.

`I'm sorry, Rin. To die twice is hell.'

And as his vision blurred and faded out, all he could hear was the manical laughter bouncing off the edges of the wall.

"Bring him here."

Two creatures threw the body in front of him and then disappeared. The body slid a little in the puddle of blood that was quickly growing and covering the ground. He stood up and walked slowly over to the body with his hands in his pockets, not caring if he stepped in the blood or not. He glanced down, then kicked the body over. A blank face stared up at him before slowly lolling onto it's side from being so limp.

"Pathetic. I would have expected you to hold up longer, or at least put up more of a fight. You were almost too easy to dispose of..."

He bent down to the body. Pulling a dagger out of his boot, he began hacking into Sesshomaru's limp body. Skin stuck to the knife like honey to hair.

"So my assumption was correct. Oh well. It will still be fun to use this corpse." He left the dagger protruding from the back and sat back down as he waited.

He didn't have to wait long, soon he heard the screams and attempts of escape down the way. He grinned as he plotted a few extra things to do.

"Let GO of me! Aiii!!"

He winced, her scream was rather loud, and that was from several paces away. He stood up as two more creatures came in and shoved her through the doorway. She looked around, frightened.

"Welcome to my humble abode, Rin."

She jumped as she heard the voice and started to walk towards it, but tripped and landed in something warm. As her eyes adjusted to the darkness and her senses started to work, she realized what it was: blood. She screamed slightly and jumped back, touching something soft and fluffy on her way back.

"Se...Sesshomaru-sama?" she whispered, feeling for the fluffy object again. Finding it, she touched it again. It was Sesshomaru's tail.

"Wh-Who did this?" Rin asked, her voice quivering slightly.

"It was I."

Rin spun around quickly to be greeted by a pair of glowing, red eyes. The glowing effect lit up his face a little and she peered for a closer look. Her eyes widened in recognition, shock, and fear.

"No! Not you! Get away from me!" Rin turned abruptly and started to run. She didn't know where to, for all was dark and she could not see her path. Deciding a straigt line was the best way to go, she sped up, only to run smack into a wall * ow *. Rin fell to the ground, holding her head.

"You shouldn't run from me. Haven't you learned that lesson already? Besides, you have got nothing to worry about as long as you follow my orders. Disobey me and..."

Rin was surprised to see the room lighten slighty, only enough to make out what was in the room. She looked around and spotted something lying near a chair. Was it her Sesshomaru?

Glancing nervously at him, she inched towards the figure. Soon she could see him clearly, and regretted being able to do so. His head was lolled to the side, with his eyes open and empty. His hair and tail were stained crimson with his blood. Protruding from his back was a dagger with loose pieces of skin hanging from it. Rin turned away in revulsion.

"What have you done...you beast..."

"You know, Rin, I am no beast."

* slice, thump, glance *

Inuyasha looked over the edge of the cliff. They had made it, no worries. He sensed them at the edge of the forest.

"Yeah yeah. I'm coming."
