AUTHOR: Dark Elf a.k.a Kitty Romanova

PLOT BUNNY: Another assassin organisation is revealed, this one lead by Egyptian teenager Ishtal Marik. The order to kill Yumah Yugarou Mutou is given out and someone from his delicate past is given the mission. One Ryouji Otogi. And for Katsuya Jounouchi, someone from his past comes across one of his killings......while it's still being completed.

DISCLAIMER: Do I look like I own YuGiOu? *sighs* You people are pretty pathetic if you truly believe my name to be Kazuki Takahashi in reality. 1) I'm Australian-European and 2) I couldn't make this good an anime if I tried.

ELF'S NOTES: ......*blinks* People actually like this fic? Wow, it was just trying to be a one-shot but I guess I'll add a second chapter for you all. As for your question, Mononoke (MM.O), in this reality Yuugi was Yumah's little bro, though they did have......something of a relationship. I'll try and add more of the past to this chapter, don't read if ya don't like incest, k, cus I dun like flames and flames can be used to burn Yami, Pegasus, Rebecca, Anzu, Tristan and Weevil at the stake ^.~ Heh, just dun tell my best friend I said/typed that (she doesn't mind the part about Rebecca and Anzu thou)......... Sorry, Yami fangirls (Ra knows why you'd choose Pharaoh no Bakamono over Yuu-chan), but I've already established in a few of my fics that I hate him. I hate his Ra-forsaken guts and if Bakura hasn't already done it, I'll rob his tomb myself. *goes off with a Yami voodoo doll and repeatedly stabbing a pin in the privates, snatching it away from various Yami-fangirl reviewers* NO! NOBODY TAKES MY PHARAOH NO BAKA VOODOO DOLL! I NEED SOMETHING TO DO IN MY SPARE TIME!!!!!

********************

//Part of me won't go away, everyday reminded how much I hate it

Weighted against the consequences, can't live without it so it's senseless

Wanna cut it out of my soul and just live with a gaping hole

Take control of my life and wash out all the burnt taste//

His boot-heels clacked on the metal surface along the corridors of the complex, face impassive, gazing directly ahead, he ignored everyone and everything except for his final destination. In truth, he had little idea how he came to be on his way for a meeting with his boss. He scarcely remembered hearing his voice on the communicator and only when he closed the door behind himself that he had got up and gotten dressed as soon as he had his orders.

He had trained him well.

Soon he was in front of the familiar door of his boss's office. He took a moment to compose himself, pressing and locking every emotion into a sealed box at the bottom of his heart.

Ishtal Marik didn't like seeing emotions on his trained-to-perfection assassins.

The door opened and he stepped inside.

As usual, the large leather recliner was faced away from him, but Otogi Ryouji could somewhat see his boss's reflection in the window. Blonde hair that was bleached due to growing up in the blistering desert heat, cold lavender eyes and cappuccino-coloured skin. An image of perfection, the one who trained the assassins himself. The recliner turned, lavender meeting piercing emeralds before the Egyptian spoke. "Ryouji, you have a new assignment." Marik's voice wrapped around his ears like silken fire before gesturing the raven-haired assassin to sit down in the recliner on the other side of the desk, which he did so.

He knew better than to disobey one who had been trained to kill since age 10.

After Otogi sat down, Marik pressed a button on his desk that revealed the hidden screen embedded into one of the large walls of the office. A file came up on-screen, making Otogi's fierce gaze widen. He......he couldn't possibly be serious...... "S-sir......?!"

"You already know who this is, Ryouji. Your latest assignment comes from the Big Five, executives at Kaiba Corp; kill Yumah Yugarou Mutou, Seto Kaiba's head bodyguard and assassin. You will be paired with Dinosaur Ryuusaki for this mission. First you must kill Yumah, and then the Kaiba brothers."

"Mission accepted." Otogi jumped at the new voice slightly when Ryuuzaki stepped away from the shadows against the wall he'd been leaning on. The ebony-haired assassin worked in mysterious ways and half the time you couldn't tell if he was there or not. He'd been with their clan since the beginning and was a master of techniques, almost as good as their boss.

Otogi shook his head, looking back towards the Egyptian blonde. "I......I mean no disrespect, Ishtar-sama, but trying to kill Yumah Yugarou Mutou is like jumping off a bridge without a bungee cord. He has an amazing track record and easily posed as his little brother who died when he was 14."

"You've done your homework then," Marik spoke, thumb caressing over the millennia item he possessed that was always attached to his hip. Otogi went to open his mouth again but Marik held a hand up, silencing him. "Ryouji, you have been with us for five years and are one of my best but don't think I won't hesitate to have you killed. We can easily do without one more fool with emotions. Dismissed." The raven-haired teen bit his lip before following Ryuuzaki out of the office.

'Yumah.....' There was a deep mental sigh as Otogi bottled up the forbidden emotions and forgotten memories. '......I'm sorry it has to come down to this.........'

~ "Why are you moving, Yumah-kun?"

Bloodstones looked away from him, closing. "You know how much Yuugi-imoto meant to me, Otogi-kun. I can no longer live here. Too many memories - the bad and the good. Otousan and okaasan agreed to let me stay with grandfather......until I feel it's time to come back."

Emeralds blinked, the floor suddenly becoming very interesting. Yes, he knew about the relationship the two brothers had, the relationship that went beyond brotherly love. He accepted them while others shunned them, even their own parents. He knew why Yumah hesitated at the last part of his sentence.

Because the cold-hearted fourteen-year-old was never coming back. ~

'You neglected my feelings for you, Yumah,' a dark part of Otogi's mind hissed, bringing the teen assassin back to the present. 'And now you shall pay the price dearly.........'

//Hang my head low cause it's part of me

Ya hardly see right next to the heart of me

Heart of me, the routine scar, new cuts to cover where the old ones are

And now I'm sick of this//

********************

//I can't stand the sandpaper thoughts that grate away on my sanity

I rather not even be then the man that's standing in the mirror through me

Cut myself free willingly

Stop what's killing me

Stop what's killing me

Stop what's killing me

Stop what's killing me......//

Katsuya stood away from his assignment, flicking the wet blood away from his dagger in the process (A/Ns: Kenshin-style =3). Something in his stomach twisted with guilt as he sheathed his weapon, turning to leave the abandoned alleyway where it had taken place. How had he come to agree about this kind of living? It paid well though and the payment went towards his sister's eye operation anonymously (A/Ns: Remember - AU, Katsuya-chan didn't have the money from the tournament because Pegasus hadn't made the check in the first chapter, hell the freak didn't survive the first chapter). But that had ended a few months ago and everything was going well from then on. He didn't know what to do with the spare money, he didn't buy food and clothing with so he sent it to his account in the bank. Hell, at least he wasn't like Anzu, dead and buried six feet under.

Katsuya looked up as he exited the alleyway to make sure nobody was around and met with a pair of horrified cornflowers.

He knew those eyes so well.

"Sh-Shizuka?" the blonde whispered before his little sister turned and started to run. His hands were too quick now and they immediately reached out to stop her from going anywhere and telling anyone. "Please, omotouchan, let me explain."

//I feel it everyday

I feel I made my way

I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside

Swallowing me

It can't be frightening if you've never felt it

Once it's been dealt with you feel like you've been touched by something angelic

And then melted down into a pool of peace, cease to be the animal you used to be

Remove the broken parts you knew were wrong and feel the karma when the problem's all gone//

He was surprised to see her, especially with her eyes so well looking. The operation must have been an obvious success. But the horror completely turned to disgust, a feature he wasn't used to seeing on his little sister's face. "Explain what?" Shizuka spat out, wrenching away from her elder brother's grasp. Thankfully this street was dead silent, nobody around except for the two of them. "That you're a killer, big brother?" The final two words were spat, cornflowers glaring deep black hatred and......pity. "Is this how you paid for my operation? Just so I could see you kill mercilessly? You probably didn't even know who you just killed!"

Katsuya turned his eyes away, feeling ashamed. "No, I didn't know my assignment and yes that is how I paid for your operation." He knew she would probably know he was the one who sent the money for it - she always did have that kind of insight. "But you don't understand, Shizuka, this is the only way for me to make a living!"

"The only way? The only WAY?!" she cried and there was a resounding slap heard through the dead quiet street of the bad side of Domino. "Katsuya Jounouchi, you know there are much better ways for you to live than to go killing people! And if that was what you wanted to show me when I got out of hospital, I might as well have stayed blind!" Katsuya went to protest but felt a familiar presence.

"Let her believe what she wants, Jounouchi." He turned aside, finding Yumah leaning solidly against a nearby wall with his arms crossed over his chest. There was blood at the corner of his mouth, which was licked at a moment later. Yumah's gaze was set steadily on Shizuka, glinting maliciously. "But she can never go back. You know our policy, Jounouchi." A sick feeling came into his stomach like before and the blonde winced, closing his eyes and trying not to believe he had to do it. Shizuka was now glaring over at Yumah, shouting obscenity at him, blaming him for his turn.

All of a sudden her shrieking stopped. Katsuya froze, coming out of his trance and finding his dagger thrusted into his little sister's breast, he swallowed and sliced left, the blood from her heart spilling effortlessly to the ground and over his hand. Blood gurgled up from her mouth, spilling over the corners and lips as her body dropped to the ground, drowning in a pool of her own blood. Katsuya dropped to his knees, bloody tears streaking down his cheeks to join his sister's crimson liquid on the ground as he stared in disbelief at her body. More bloody tears joined the ones before as the blonde howled his pain to the darkening sky, feeling the ever-near presence of his once friend disappear like wisps of smoke.

//And then you start to see another piece of yourself that you can't let be

And that reason'll last fight to free yourself

Take it to the depths of the bottom of the well

And now you know you can choose to lose the part in your heart where your insides bruise

You can live if you're willing to put a stop to just what's killing you

Cut myself free willingly

Stop what's killing me

Cut myself free willingly

Stop what's killing me

Cut myself free willingly

Stop what's killing me

Cut myself free willingly

Stop what's killing me//

"I know you've been following me." The figure in the shadows stopped dead cold at Yumah's voice, feeling the ever-present amethyst bloodstones bear a hole in his soul. "It's been a while......Otogi." The raven-haired assassin stepped away from the darkness as well as he could with night setting in, looking at the teen who was leaning almost lazily against a nearby wall. Bloodstones met emeralds. "I know why you're here, you know I can read minds. But you hesitate to......why?" Otogi opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by the other's psyche. "Is it because you still feel love for me?" Yumah laughed coldly, bitterly, shaking his head. "Otogi, Otogi, Otogi......you should know I think people who love are fools. Just like I was. I was a fool to have believed that anyone, even the Gods and Goddesses, would allow our relationship to last. They took him from me, everything I ever live for is taken from me eventually."

Otogi felt his eyes widen as the cold-hearted killer brought his own sword out, the other liking the way it shone in the moonlight, almost enchanting. Their jeweled orbs met again. "Otogi, I'm asking you to do it. Kill me. Put me out of my misery." Taking the blade part in his hand, Yumah offered the handle to his once friend. "I can tell you've been wanting to. You were jealous of my love for my brother that went far beyond what we were allowed, you were jealous that I paid more attention to him than I did to you. You wanted us to die, for me to see him bleeding and take the dagger laying at his side like Juliet did Romeo. Little Ryouji, you were wrong. I didn't want to die back then, I wanted to avenge his untimely death. And now that I have, I see no reason more to live. Kill me so that I may be with my little brother in hell who I love so much."

Uncertain emerald green orbs locked gaze with cold amethysts, shakily removing the sword from the other's hand and watching the blood drip as the blade cut through the palm. Yumah looked at it passively, eyes dulled and unreadable. The raven-haired one drew a deep breath, eyes pleading forgiveness from the other.

"I have already forgiven you."

What followed was nothing but silence.........

//(Alive in me, inside of me, a part of me screams away silently

This part of me won't go away, part of me won't go away

Everywhere I look around I see how everyone ought to be

Every time I look at myself I see there's always something wrong with me)//

I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
