Change of Heart

-We don't own Yugioh-

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

Bakura glared at Marik seriously as he watched the Egyptian lift himself off the shadowy floor.

"You dare to betray me Bakura?" the blonde yami growled venomously, standing up tall.

"I do…" the white haired male said, looking at his hikari who was crawling over to Malik. "Why would I want share your dream when I can make my own with a hikari who loves me?"

Malik looked at Ryou who was hovering over him softly. "What's going on?" he whispered.

"I followed Kairi's advice and told Bakura that I love him," he murmured, tears forming in his innocent brown orbs. "He loves me back Malik… He loves me…"

"You fool! Don't tell me you actually fell in love with that little bitch," Marik hissed, glaring at the white haired teen with cold eyes. "I thought I had rid you of that kindness you shared with you hikari!"

Bakura chuckled, "I did too until about an hour ago. It seems your spells aren't as strong as you think."

Ryou smiled at his yami who smiled back.

"You truly are a fool Bakura! Love will make you into nothing more then a pathetic weakling!" the blonde said, angry that he had lost such a powerful ally.

"On the contrary Marik, My love for my hikari is going to make me stronger then you can possibly imagine!" the white haired yami said back. The millennium eye glowed on his forehead, "I'm going to get rid of you for good Marik."

The blonde only smirked psychotically, "You can try Bakura but your power is nothing compared to mine." The same symbol glowed on his forehead brightly, "You, my traitorous friend shall be devoured by the shadows and after you fall, your little lover and all his friends will go next."

Bakura growled lowly as the Egyptian threatened his lover. "You won't get the chance." He leapt at the other yami only to have Marik disappear into the darkness. He yelped when a fist suddenly connected with his spine from behind. The male turned to face Marik who was grinning crazily.

"The shadows favor me Bakura. I am invincible," the violet eyes psycho said, once again disappearing.

A boot then connected with the side of the white haired yami's stomach roughly.

Bakura growled before turning to punch the figure. His eyes widened when he punched nothing but the air. He fell to his knees when he was once again punched from behind.

"Bakura!" Ryou screamed as he saw his yami fall.

The white haired yami heard his hikari call for him in concern and got back up. `I have to save him' he thought, his eyes looking around sharply for where his foe could be.

Over to the side of the fight, Kail and Kairi watched.

Kail wasn't watching the fight though. He had dropped his defenses and let Kairi go from the chains that binded her. `Marik lied to me. I gave up my chance to be with Kairi forever because my jealously blinded me. How could I have been so stupid!' His eyes were glazed over as he thought. `I hurt her and tainted her wings with blood for doing nothing wrong. I hurt the one who has shown me nothing but compassion and love.' He closed his eyes tightly in anger but opened them when he felt something wrap around his waist. What he saw surprised him and almost brought tears to his eyes.

Kairi was hugging him tightly, arms wrapped around his waist securely. She had obviously removed the tape that Kail had placed over her mouth. Her face was nuzzled softly into his chest. She looked up at him with innocent blue orbs, tears falling down them softly. "I forgive you Kail."

His heart seemed to jump and break at the same time. His mouth went dry, "How could you forgive me after everything I put you through? I put you through things that you should have never had to face again."

The white haired female folded her wings softly against her back, "Because I love you," she answered simply, "And…and I know you love me too. Please come back to me Kail."

The black haired male felt tears running down his cheeks, "I love you Kairi, more then anything. I would give up anything in the world to take back what I did to you and what I did to myself."

Kairi smiled, "Thank you." She cried softly feeling his teardrops sink into her hair, `Thank you for coming back to me'.

His teardrops fell into her hair and were absorbed by her wings.

Neither knew it but the demon tears were cleansing her angel wings of the mortal blood that stained them.

Marik kicked Bakura in the stomach again making the yami fly into the ground.

Bakura had blood seeping from the sides of his mouth and his stomach was bruising more severely with every kick. He forced himself to get back up, `This is what Ryou must have felt like every time I beat him.' He looked at his beautiful hikari, `How could I give up something so good for something so insignificant as being Marik's slave?'

The blonde yami smirked, "Ready to except your fate Bakura? You are nothing compared to me."

Bakura was about to comment when Marik suddenly shrieked with pain.

Marik screamed and fell onto his knees.

The white haired yami looked around to see what was causing his nemesis so much anguish and smirked when he was the beam of energy that was shooting straight through Marik's stomach.

The beam was both black and white, colors molding into each other.

Blood was pouring from the now open wound of the yami's tanned stomach.

The beam stopped and Marik put his hands on the ground trying to stable himself. His violet eyes narrowed dangerously, `Who?' He looked around and his eyes widened at the sight.

Kail and Kairi were standing up straight, their arms outstretched and intertwined. Energy was still swarming around their hands, Kairi's white magic and Kail's black magic mixing together heatedly.

The tanned yami put his hand over his bleeding wound. His own ally's had turned against him.

Bakura stood up straightly and smirked, "About time. What were you two waiting for? An invitation?"

Kail scowled and Kairi just smiled.

Her smile soon turned to a look of fear as she saw Marik trying to rise. "Hurry Bakura! Seal him in the shadows for good!"

The blonde yami was too quick though. He swiftly got onto his feat and sent a ball of shadows hurling towards the angel and demon pair.

The two quickly parted.

"I'll kill you both for betraying me" the Egyptian man said with a smirk.

The black haired demon quickly ran over to Kairi.

The blast had hit her upper shoulder but she barely noticed.

"You okay?" Kail asked.

She nodded, "Yeah fine. You?"

"Fine, Stay by Malik and Ryou though. They're open targets for one of Marik's attacks. Bakura and I will try and stop Marik and while we're doing that" he whispered but was soon cut off.

"I can heal them" she finished off. She kissed his cheek and nodded, "Be careful."

The demon grinned, "Of course." He left to go and fight with Bakura.

Kairi flew over to the pair of male hikari's speedily.

Ryou looked up at her softly, "I'm glad you're okay Kairi. I was scared that they had killed you."

"No" she said with a soft smile. "I'm good. You two look like you could use some healing though."

Ryou smiled tiredly, "Could we ever. Malik first though, he's hurt the worst."

The blonde hikari had his eyes half lidded and was laying in Ryou's lap. His energy had been drained and his body badly injured.

The white haired female crawled a bit closer to the two boys. She flared her wings a bit and placed a gentle hand on the male's forehead, brushing his bangs out of his eyes.

Malik flinched at the soft touch but soon relaxed as he felt warmth spread through his body. Energy was reconnecting with his body and the bruises and cuts were slowly disappearing.

Ryou looked at Kairi's wings, which were back to their normal shining white color. He silently pondered how she could have gotten the blood off them so quickly.

Malik sat up slowly, his eyes refocusing.

The angel quickly went to go heal Ryou putting her hands against his shoulders. Her hands glowed softly and the healing process began.

Marik had just finished punching Bakura in the jaw and blasting Kail with an energy ball.

Both had sent the two males crashing to the ground roughly.

`He's too fast' Bakura thought. `We need something to distract him that way Kail and I can get in an attack.'

The evil yami looked around with determines eyes and grinned when he saw the three defenseless teenagers sitting on the ground close together. "How perfect that all three of you are so close together. I can kill three birds with one stone."

"You'll die before you get the chance," Bakura growled, pouncing on Marik's back while he was distracted. He quickly hooked his arms with the males, making his stay in one place. "Hit him Kail!"

The demon got up off the ground and his hand pulsed with dark energy. He then sprinted forward and slammed his hand into the wound that he and Kairi had caused earlier.

Marik let out a defining roar as the pain escalated through his body.

Bakura could feel the dark energy pierce the yami's skin so he jumped of Marik quickly. He jammed his fist into the base of Marik's spine forcing the tanned Egyptian to impale himself of Kail's bloody hand.

The blonde yami eyes contracted with agony, blood starting to pour from the corners of his mouth.

Kail yanked his arm out Marik, blood dripping down his fingers only to be absorbed as they hit the shadowy ground.

Marik fell onto his knees, spitting out the blood in his mouth onto the ground. `How can I be losing to these pathetic love sick fools!?' he thought to himself.

"Seal him away Bakura" Kail said, looking into brown eyes straightly. "Let's not make the same mistake of letting him recover twice."

The white haired yami nodded and put his palm two centimeters away from Marik's head. "Your soul shall be eaten by the shadows and you will never return to hurt anyone else again Marik. You lose and now suffer the consequences of being beaten at your own little game." The millennium symbol glowed on his head, "SOUL SHATTER!" A blast of blinding energy shot from his open hand devouring Marik's body.

The blast created a hurricane wind in the shadowy realm.

Kail wrapped his bat wings around himself to protect him from the blast and Kairi wrapped her wings around Malik and Ryou to protect them.

Marik screamed as the shadows consumed his dark soul and ripped it into a million pieces. His body disappeared into the shadows.

The wind died down and Kail and Kairi carefully unwrapped their wings.

Ryou, Malik and Kairi all stood up.

The realm around them slowly disappeared and Ryou's basement slowly came back into view.

Silence filled the room, everyone unable to speak.

Was it over?

Malik was the one who broke the silence. "Is… Is he gone?"

Bakura closed his eyes, "Yes, he's gone."
