Dark Light

I don't own Yugioh

*Yes, We're back! Sorry for the delay. The chapters will be getting a bit shorter since there are only a couple left and the updating probably won't go too fast so bare with us!

Now, the moment you've all been waiting for! The next chappy!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Malik sputtered as his yami swiftly kicked him in the ribs once again, his battered body coursing with intensified pain. Blood seeped from his mouth and his stomach and chest were covered with bruises and cuts. His shirt had been torn away, the material being devoured by the ever-hungry darkness of the shadow realm.

The crazy yami rolled his head back in laughter at the sight before him. "Do you still care to defy me hikari?" he spat, "Or would you like another lesson on how to talk to your superiors?"

The blonde hikari's eyes rolled for a minute before replying, "Y-you are not my s-superior in a-any way Marik."

This comment earned the light another bruising kick to his stomach, Malik's body burning with what felt like the fires of hell.

The yami bent down and smirked, "So defiant yet so helpless to stop anything that I do." He crushed his lips to his lights, moaning at the taste of his coppery blood.

The teen squirmed causing his body to scream in protest. He bit down on Marik's lip causing the elder male to growl and pull away.

"You shouldn't have done that my foolish light" Marik hissed, digging his fingernails into Malik's fresh wounds making them burn.

Malik wanted to scream but wouldn't allow his yami the satisfaction. Tears streamed down his orbs, the salt off Marik's hands making his injuries blaze with unforgiving pain.

The yami smirked at his hikari's pain, loving the fear and hurting that ran through his eyes. He licked away sweet tears, savoring the taste. "How I've missed your taste Malik."

The blonde hikari turned his head away only to be slapped by his yami.

"Did you really fucking think that worthless pharaoh could truly seal me away forever?" Marik questioned his beaten hikari. "No, what he did only made me stronger."

"I-It w-wasn't Y-Yami's fault t-that you c-came back" the hikari stuttered, his words getting hard to form.

The yami grinned, "What's this? Are you actually defending the pharaoh? You truly have become pathetic hikari, becoming one of that idiots fucking little groupies."

Malik was just about to reply when another presence made itself known. He knew it could only be Bakura from the menacing aura.

Sure enough, the white haired demon came into view a sickening smirk upon his face.

The hikari's violet orbs went wide when he saw Ryou slung carelessly over Bakura's shoulder, his body beaten and bleeding profoundly.

Ryou's eyes were open but they were lifeless and dull. The brightness had been shattered and they looked to be stained from crying. His cloths were ripped and soaked with blood.

"R-Ryou" the tanned hikari choked out, hissing as his yami kicked him roughly in the chest again.

"Ah Bakura, I see you had fun with your light" Marik said with a smirk, looking at the beaten boy that lay sprawled against his fellow yami.

The brown eyes male smirked, "Very much so" he said, throwing the boy on his shoulder onto the shadowy ground.

The white haired hikari whimpered as he hit the ground, landing close to Malik.

"So much fun to make them scream" Bakura said with a smirk. "Fucking bitch actually tried to tell me that he `loved' me."

The blonde yami laughed, "Your kidding?"

Bakura shook his head and laughed heartlessly, "Not at all."

Malik looked over to Ryou as both yami's started to chat. "Hey Ryou" he whispered.

The smaller hikari's body twitched before his head tilted up to look into lilac orbs. He smiled weakly in response, not being able to find his voice. It was been lost after screaming so much with Bakura.

The elder hikari's voice gave out but he mouthed, `I'm sorry' to his best friend.

Light brown eyes filled with tears at seeing his best friend in so much pain. `No Malik, I'm sorry' he thought though he knew Malik couldn't hear him.

"Any idea's on where Kail went with his angel?" Marik asked his fellow yami.

"No clue. He left after he knocked her out in your room." The white haired male grinned, "I'm sure he's hitting it off with her."

Ryou bit his lip softly thinking of his angel friend. `What's happening to you Kairi? Why aren't you here? Please Ra, let her be okay.' He moved softly on the cold ground beneath him.

`Who's Kairi?' Malik thought suddenly. `And why are they referring to her as an angel?'

The spiky haired blonde yami was quick to read his hikari's mind. "Kairi is the secret that Ryou had been keeping from you hikari. She is in fact an angel who has been breaking the rules of Heaven so she could come down to Earth and heal Ryou."

The violet-eyed hikari's eyes went wide at the comment. He turned his head to his best friend to see if this was true.

The pale light nodded squirming slightly.

Marik smirked, "Don't be restless Ryou… I'm sure your angel we be joining you very shortly." He look around, "In fact, I think I feel our new demon entering with her now."

Brown orbs opened widely, `No!'

"Yes" Bakura replied to his light's thought.

A sudden force made itself known and it made the two light's shiver.

The aura was dark and shadowy and brought a whole new wave of coldness as it approached.

Kail walked out of the shadows, smirking softly.

A thrashing Kairi was being held in his arms bridal style. She had rings of shadows around her wrists and ankles so she couldn't fight back. You could tell she had been struggling because both her wrists and ankles were bleeding profoundly, tainting her pale skin. Tears stained her cheeks and tape and been placed over her mouth to keep her from talking.

"Welcome Kail" Marik said with a devilish grin.

"Thank you, I wouldn't miss this little party for anything" the black haired male replied. His black bat wings folded against his back neatly.

Bakura smirked, "I see you still haven't broken your angel yet… What's the hold up?"

Kail looked down upon the female in his arms and smiled evilly, showing off sharp canines. "Oh, I'm just taking my time. I'm going to make her first time the most memorable moment of her life" he said with a sinful chuckle.

The white haired angel's eyes widened at her best friends words and couldn't understand why he was doing this. Why was he hurting her? Why had he changed back? How could he have given in to Marik's deceiving words?

Ryou looked at the female, despising what the demon had just said. He was glad that she was okay though.

Malik looked at the female with understanding eyes. `She definitely looks like an angel' he thought.

Kail shoved her down onto her knees in front of him.

Kairi looked at Ryou and Malik from the corner of her eyes and was heartbroken and the sight of seeing them being hurt so badly. She wanted so desperately to go and heal them.

"So, what were you doing all that time?" the blonde yami asked, raising an eyebrow. "You two couldn't have just been talking."

The white haired female shivered at the memory making the greenish red-eyed demon grin.

"We painted, didn't we Kairi?" he cooed, watching as the female's eyes filled with more tears. "Why don't you show Marik and Bakura I painted?"

She shook her head wildly, refusing to do what she was asked of.

Kail only smirked, "Show them or I can arrange for your two little friends to suffer for your insolence."

The blue-eyed girl shook at Kail's words and nodded in agreement. She didn't want to do this… What he had done to her and broken her soul in half and she was ashamed of it.

"Go on my angel" the black haired male told her.

Ryou and Malik gasped when they saw what Kail had done to her.

Kairi's wings had sprouted from her back but they were different now. Instead of being their usual dazzling white color, they had been tinted with long streaks of red. Every one of her white feathers were now coated or partially covered in crimson blood.

The female wrapped her wings around herself to shield herself from the other people's gazes. Tears were streaming down her cheeks as she peered upon her blood-streaked wings.

"Mortal blood. Your artwork is beautiful Kail. Very impressive" violet-eyed yami told him, walking over to where he stood.

Kairi remembered how it had happened…

Kail had taken her into town and placed her on her back on an ally floor.

Two mortals had come to help her thinking she was being mugged or raped.

She had begged for them to stay away but it was too late. She'd never forget watching as Kail tore their hearts from their chests, their screaming stopping so suddenly. Her best friend had murdered two mortals for no good reason right in front of her and he showed not even the slightest bit of remorse.

All he did was grin and watch the mortal blood slide down his arms. That's when he got the inspiration for his `artwork.' He tied down her wings with shadow chains to make sure she couldn't withdrawal them and dragged the two dead mortals over to her. He dipped his hands into their pooling blood and started to one by one paint her delicate white feathers.

She remembered screaming into the tape for him to stop, tears flooding her eyes and she smelled the human blood on her. She was so grateful that she had gotten to be an angel after all that had happened to her on Earth and her wings were something she had looked after with immense care.

Kail knew that and exploited his knowledge to break her little by little.

Marik walked over to the sobbing angel and touched on of her wings softly.

Kairi flinched away, her wings moving together even more. She knew it was Marik just by the feel of his hands and the way his fingertips sent icy darkness through her body.

Ryou had small streams of tears running down his cheeks. `Ra Marik, stop hurting my friends!' he screamed mentally. `They don't deserve it!'

Malik felt sorrow for the younger girl as he looked at her tinted wings.

Kairi wanted to scream out her frustration but the tape stopped her from doing so. Even if she could wash the blood off she would still be reminded of the two humans who had died and there for, their blood would always remain on her wings.

Kail used his bat wings to shift Kairi's away from her body. He leaned down to her level, tilting her head up to look into tearful eyes. He smirked softly, "And we're going to keep your wings like that aren't we love?"

She clenched her eyes shut in fear and nodded softly.

"How cute. She won't even try to fight you," the white haired yami cooed.

Kail smirked and peered into blue depths, "Because we have history, don't we Kairi?"

She turned her head away from his gaze. `How could you do this Kail?'

Marik smirked at the three helpless teenagers before him. `Perfect.'

Bakura looked at his hikari with dark eyes and then to the other kids. "You know Kail, did you ever think about what the angels are going to do when they find out that you have stolen one of their people?"

The demonic boy looked at Bakura with curious eyes. "Explain."

"Kairi was very precise in the times when she went to go heal Ryou. This was probably because she didn't want other angels to know she was missing. How long do you think it will take for the angels to send scouts?"

Marik was now very absorbed in this conversation. What Bakura was saying was true.

If other angels found Kairi they would be able to track down Marik and his men because of the information she held.

Even Marik was no match for a swarm of combatant angels. Not yet anyways… He still had much work to do until he could take on the Angel Realm.

The three teenagers were just listening carefully as the other three boys talked.

"I will keep them from her" the demon male growled back defensively.

The white haired male smirked, "Really? What will you be able to do against a fleet of warrior angels Kail? You are strong but the angels would kill you in a matter of moments."

The demon snarled lowly and was about to come up with a snide remark when Marik spoke.

"Bakura is right".

Kail looked at Marik his eyes telling the elder male to continue.

"If the angels come it will be pandemonium. We are not yet prepared to take on such a challenge," Marik said, slowly turning his head to the female. "Kill her and bury her somewhere the angels can't find."

Ryou's eyes shot open at this but his words were lost. `No! You can't kill her, she didn't do anything wrong!' he screamed at them mentally, knowing nobody heard him.

The black haired demon stepped beside his angel, his eyes narrowing dangerously. "Never. That was not part of our deal Marik." He knew that if you killed an angel there were no second chances for them. They died permanently, their soul shredding into nothing. He would never see her again.

"Sometimes deals must be broken for the greater good," the flaxen haired yami stated. "Now kill her Kail."

"I will not kill Kairi," the demon repeated to the Egyptian male dangerously.

Marik glared at Kail with perilous eyes and smirked, looking down at the angel. "I thought I had gotten rid of all your useless emotions when I turned you Kail but it seems you still have feelings for your little girl toy."

The white haired female looked at Kail who she could tell was fighting with his emotions. `Come on Kail, come back to me please!' she thought.

Marik waited for a moment but growled lowly when Kail only looked at the ground. "Fine, since you refuse to kill her I will!"

Kairi looked at the evil blond who's hand was starting to glow red and black.

This energy was building into corrosive dark energy that could easily kill her fragile angel form.

Marik raised his hand to strike her and grinned, "Goodbye angel." He was just about to bring his hand down upon the youth when something interfered.

A foot suddenly slammed into Marik's stomach, making the blonde male fly back.

The violet eyed yami growled and got onto his feet, holding his stomach from the light pain. The energy in his hand had dispersed. He looked around piercingly, trying to identify who had kicked him. His sinister eyes landed on Bakura who was now where he himself had just been moments ago.

The white haired thief looked at Marik with a smirk.

"Bakura, explain yourself!" the eldest male snarled viciously.

Bakura looked to his light and then Marik. "I've had a change of heart Marik and now the tables have turned," he said. "And call it intuition but I think they have just turned in my favor."
