Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ The Bonds Of Yami And Hikari ❯ Washing out the tear stains ( Chapter 21 )

Black Angel Reaper: Heh, I drew Yuugi in a jester outfit once. It was cute! Just think of it, and you might see it my way.

Katrina Jounouchi Kaiba: Yay, just getting good. You shall see who it is *insert maniacal laugh here*

Ryu Tiamat: … How'd you guess ;-; That's no fun, you ruined the surprise… *… <.<.. >.>* So long as no one else knows, all shall go according to plan. Mwahahah. You're welcome, for the Malik plushie

Again, for the none updating-ness… School has been hectic enough.. but just today, my grandmother passed away. She played the mother role for me, since mom was always with Sammy… And I'm heartbroken right now. So, excuse me, if this chapter seems a little down. It's because I usually right when I'm in a good mood… Sorry readers and reviewers!

Don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, or Avril's `Slipped away'

Mokuba sighed as Ryou drove him away form the cabin, with Malik inside… Yuugi was to be left alone with that creep.

`Poor kid,' the raven-haired stripper thought sadly, `He's lost and alone.. just like I was when Seto was always out on those business trips..' Mokuba let his hair fall in his face, a lone tear cascading down his cheek as all his memories of Seto and him came flashing to him head.

Pale tresses fluttered in the slight breeze, as the English boy drove down the abandoned highway, silently. Ryou was also thinking along the same lines

`Bakura… Whenever he left, it pained me so much.. Yuugi.. I'm so sorry I had to leave you there.. but if we tried, we all wouldn't be able to make it out alive.. Yami will come for you.. I know it'

Just as the thought had left his head, Ryou and Mokuba watched at Seto, Jou, Yami, and Bakura drove past them, all determined looks plastered on their faces.

Slamming on the breaks, tear stained onyx stared into wide, blank chocolate…

Hastily turning around the Porsche, Ryou and Mokie sped after the other car.

~*~

After reaching Malik's cabin, the two teens watched the others enter the house. They slowly crept in, as Bakura had wisely left the door open.

That's when they heard it. Yuugi's painful cry. And something inside Mokuba snapped, as he ran towards Malik's `Dungeon'… Only to get knocked over, someone(s) falling on top of him.

"Ooof!"

Cradling his injured head, Mokuba stared up into wide crimson eyes.

"M-mokuba! You have to get out of here… where's Ryou!?" Yami questioned, clearly concerned for the boy.

Yami watched as the pale boy's eyes go blank, and a small, weak smile appeared on his face. He rest a palm on Yami cheek, as he used his strong, thin legs to flip them over.

"It was nice seeing you again, Yami…" Was all that was Yami heard, before Mokuba closed his eyes, tears welling in the corners, as a gun shot was sounded.. And struck Mokuba in the chest.

With a weak cry, the boy fell overtop of the two, eyes slowly losing all signs of life, and crimson leisurely creeping out of his mouth.

"Mokuba!!" Yami cried, horrified.

Seto, who had followed Malik out after Yami, stared in utter disbelief as he stared at the lifeless form of his little brother… Emotions became to strong for him, as all he could do was fall to his knees, a feral cry coming from his lips.

Jou, who stood right behind Seto, took his broken boyfriend into his arms, quietly sobbing into the brunet's hair.

The white haired fiend gasped softly, and tackled Malik to the ground before he could do any more harm.

Malik, who had a smirk on his face, left the gun be taken from his hand, and cuffed to a water pipe next to his lair.

Pulling out a first aid kit, he grip tweezers, pulling the bullet from the child's fresh wound. Bandaging it up, he laid the kid on his shoulders, only to see the tanned teen reach for his back pocket, aiming at him.

Closing his eyes, he knew his fate.

Another gunshot was heard, but Bakura felt no pain. Slowly, he opened his eyes to sparkling eyes, such as his own.

Yami watched, disgusted, as Malik smiled sickeningly towards himself and Yuugi, before firing one last time… and struck Yuugi in the shoulder.

~*~ Hospital ~*~

`Na na
Na na na na na'

Four males, all watched hopelessly as their fallen loves were wheeled into the hospital.

Yami was keeping up with Yuugi, whispering softly as Yuugi sobbed in pain.

`I miss you
Miss you so bad
I don't forget you
Oh it's so sad'

"Yuugi.. please don't leave me," He sobbed softly, as the boy continued to twitch in pain, "I'd miss you too much…"

`I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly'

Yuugi's dilated orbs stared weakly into his lovers, as all the memories they had together passed through his eyes.

`The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same oh'

His pale hand slipped from Yami's grasped as he fell into silent unconsciousness…

"Don't leave me, aibou!" The teen cried in hope, "It won't ever feel the same way without you!!"

`I didn't get around to kiss you
Goodbye on the hand'

Yami reached out for his little lovers hand again, only for on of the paramedics to glare at him,

"We need to move quickly, and I'm afraid you're not helping!" The lilac haired boy shouted, sending his a warning glance towards the other ones ahead of him.

`I wish that I could see you again
I know that I can't oh oh oh oh oh
I hope you can hear me
Cause I remember it clearly'

Yami slowly let the people wheel his light away from him.. falling to the floor and sobbing softly, hands over his face.

`The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same oh

I've had my wake up
Won't you wake up
I keep asking why
And I can't take it
It wasn't fake it
It happened you passed by'

"Mokie…." Seto whispered, as they wheeled passed him. He hid his face into Joey's shirt, and wept softly.

"Why won't he wake up, Joey? He's too strong to just give up.. That's not like him…."

Joey shook his head, and let a few tears fall onto his lover's coat, as he embraced the fallen teen.

Bakura stared helplessly as Ryou was taken from his grasped, and the doors were closed in his face..

He stared down at his hands, hoping for some answer of some sort… nothing

"So.. it wasn't fake… this isn't some cruel joke," he spat at his own hands, before shaking head head, holding back the tears that threatened to spill from his cryptic auburn orbs.

`Now your gone
Now your gone
There you go
There you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back'

Yami wrapped his arms around himself, arms groping his own leather clad back… He tried to stand, but only fell again. He tried to speak, but it only came out as a heart-wrenching sob. He reached for the twin doors that Yuugi had been taken through momentarily ago, but closed his eyes sadly… He couldn't bring his lover back.. it was too late..

`Now your gone
Now your gone
There you go
There you go
Somehow you're not coming back'

Honey orbs stared blankly at the floor, still hugging his crying lover, holding on to him, as if he were his only lifeline.

"Come back to us, guys… come back" He whispered brokenly, only receiving harsh silence as his answer… They weren't going to come back..

`The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same oh

The day you slipped away
Was the day I found it won't be the same…'

All four men had watched their lovers get shot, cry in pain, and get wheel away from their only hopes of seeing them.. that does a number on you…

`Na na
Na na na na na
I miss you'

Don't worry folks, this isn't the end… they will live through this. But the question is, will the others survive through the wait, to see if they will? Mwahaha, I'm so evil!
