Chapter Fifteen

 

 

 

“Where am I going to go? What am I going to do?” Aten asked himself as he drove his bike down the ice and snow covered road.

 

“Seto hates me and no one else seemed to come to my defense when he said that. Not even Yugi.” Aten looked around and saw that the streets were completely empty.

 

“This is suicide. The roads are icy and I'm drunk.” Aten stopped his bike and sat there looking up at the sky. He took off his helmet and let the cold winter air hit his face.

 

“Why did I come back? I should have just remained in the afterlife then none of this would have happened.” As he looked up at the sky he noticed more dark snow clouds rolling in.

 

“Shit more snow! Haven't we had enough lately?!” He put his helmet back on and started off once again.

 

The snow started to fall lightly but soon it was so heavy that Aten could barely see. He could feel the bike slide every now and then and it seemed difficult to keep it at a slow speed.

 

“Maybe I should just die and let everyone get on with their lives. They seemed to be doing just fine without me around. Is death…again…really the answer?” Aten spoke to himself aloud as he waited for an answer to come.

 

None did.

 

Aten started to go faster and faster sadness, anger and alcohol clouding his better judgment.

 

He felt the bike slide, but just picked up speed. He knew he was risking it all, but didn't care. No one else seemed to care and they were all so blind.

 

How could no one, except Bakura know who he really was? The more he thought about it the angrier he got.

 

He looked down at the speedometer and noticed that he was going about sixty miles per hour. He could barely see where he was going and to be honest he really didn't care.

 

Aten sped toward the bridge that he had saved Seto on and knew that he should slow down, but he never once let up off the gas.

 

 

 

As the limo pulled up to the game shop everyone ran out and climbed into the back.

 

“Roland we need to search the whole city!” Seto exclaimed as he sat down in the back

 

“Yes sir, Mr. Kaiba!” Roland said.

 

“We need to hurry so step on it!” Yugi exclaimed as he sat beside Seto.

 

Roland nodded as he pressed the gas pedal hard and with much sliding the car finally seemed to speed off.

 

Everyone looked for any sign of Aten, but found nothing. The snow was making it hard since the visibility was very poor. If there were any tire marks the snow had made sure to cover them up.

 

“I hope he is alright.” Ryou said as he looked out the window.

 

“I will never forgive myself if something happens to him.” Seto whispered as he looked out the other side.

 

Yugi looked over at Seto with sad amethyst eyes as he slowly nodded in agreement. How could he not have known after all Yami and he had been through? How could he not have known Aten was Yami?

 

Everyone tried to spot Aten, but had no luck as they drove almost all over the city.

 

“Oh Yami please…where could you be?” Yugi whispered as he continued to stare out the window.

 

 

 

As Aten hit the bridge he felt the bike wobble and then it went sideways. The bike soon landed on its side and Aten was drug as the bike hit the railing. Both him and the bike hit hard causing Aten to be knocked into a daze as he laid flat of his back.

 

He just lay there letting the snow cover him. Why was life so Ra damned complicated? Why couldn't any thing have a happy ending? No, life was cruel and fate even worse.

 

Hope builds up and then within a mater of seconds it is wiped away as though it never was there. He had learned this young in his life and it seemed as though the gods had again turned against him.

 

Maybe he was allowed to come back to show him that he really wasn't needed and that life had moved on since his death. Sure, everyone missed him he knew that much, but it still didn't help to fill the hole in his heart.

 

 

“No one needs me any more.” He whispered and finally somehow found the strength to get up.

 

He staggered slightly as he made his way toward his bike. He lifted it up and mounted it, as he started the bike he gave a sigh. He drove off the bridge with more caution this time until he reached the other end.

 

He then started to go faster and faster as he noticed headlights approaching him.

 

`Hmm…a head on collision would be a quick way to go.' Aten thought as he sped up a little.

 

`No…what if it hurts or kills one of the passengers.' He swerved before he and the car could collide.

 

He was going so fast he never saw who it was nor did he really care. He sped up once he was past the car.

 

 

 

“Did you see that? It was Yami!” Yugi exclaimed.

 

“Roland follow that black street bike!” Seto yelled.

 

“Yes sir!”

 

Roland hit the brakes using the ice to help spin the car into the right direction causing everyone in the back seat to slide to the left.

 

“He was going way to fast.” Yugi said as he lowered his head.

 

Bakura looked at the Pharaoh's hikari and he too was worried about Yami. He was going too fast and maneuvering recklessly.

 

The limo stayed with Yami the whole time, but hung back slightly. Roland could barely make out the tail light with the white out they were in so he had to speed up some.

 

“Where's he going?” Jou asked.

 

“Yami is probably going to the park.” Yugi said as he looked out the window.

 

“Why would he go there?” Anzu asked as she looked at Yugi.

 

“That was his favorite place to go when he wanted to be alone and not bothered.” Yugi looked at her with tears in his eyes.

 

“Then we will go there.” Seto said as he placed a hand on Yugi's shoulder.

 

“Seto…do you think he will do something rash?” Yugi asked as he looked at the brunette beside him.

 

“Lets hope not…I hope not.” Seto answered as truthfully as he could.

 

Yugi turned to look out the window once more as Seto still remained staring at Yugi.

 

`Please Yami…I am so sorry. Please wait for us and don't do anything that will take you away from us again. I don't think Yugi or I could handle much more.' Seto thought as he turned once more to look out the window.

 

 

 

Aten knew he was being followed, but didn't pay any attention as to who it was as he quickly maneuvered his bike through the park. When he looked back he didn't see the car anywhere so he pressed forward through the trees. Everything looked the same and he couldn't tell what was water or land.

 

He stopped his bike and removed his helmet to look out at the scenery before him. The trees were covered with snow and ice. It was beautiful and even though the moon was almost completely covered with clouds it still gave an ethereal blue glow to all of the surroundings.

 

Aten closed his eyes as he let the wind and snow hit his face. Even though Egypt was his home and he loved the hot desert nothing compared to this. Even the cold didn't seem to bother him as he listened to the wind howl its melodic sound.

 

He opened his eyes when he heard a car pull up behind him, but did not turn around to see who it was. He listened as he heard the doors close and the snow crunch as he heard people running toward him.

 

“YAMI!” Yugi yelled as he ran up behind him and stopped about thirty feet away.

 

The reason he came to a halt was because the surface in which Yami was on had formed a small crack, just barely noticeable.

 

“Yami you're on the lake get off of it! It could crack at any second!” Yugi yelled.

 

Yami slowly turned around and looked at everyone who was standing there.

 

“Aibou.” Yami whispered as he got off the bike.

 

Then he heard it, a loud crack made its way to his ears and he slowly started to make his way to the bank. He turned back and looked at his bike and saw that the weight was causing more cracks in the already weakened ice. It was too early in the season for the water to be completely solid.

 

He looked again towards his friends as he stopped and closed his eyes. So this was it. This is how it would all end. He was to drown in the icy depths for his friends and love to watch and helpless to do anything about it.

 

`Well at least they knew it was me.' He said to himself.

 

He knew it was no use the ice was cracking and he didn't have enough time to make it to shore.

 

He opened his eyes and looked up at the scared faces of everyone and offered a sad smile.

 

“I am sorry.”

 

Just as he said that the crack in the ice ran right underneath him and split apart, but just a little.

 

“YAMI!” Yugi yelled as he began to run forward, but was grabbed by the arm as Jou tried to stop him.

 

“JOU LET GO!” Yugi wailed as he looked pleadingly at his friend.

 

Jou just shook his head.

 

Yami felt the ice starting to move apart and looked down. He braced himself as the ice suddenly broke and he fell through.

 

Then it hit him.

 

`No I can't die, not yet!' his mind screamed and he grabbed the edge of the ice as he tried to pull himself up, but the ice prevented him from getting a good grip as he slid farther into the water.

 

“PHARAOH!” Bakura yelled as he ran forward.

 

“Jou, I'm sorry.” Yugi said as he punched Jou in the stomach.

 

He got out of Jou's grip and started running toward Yami startling Bakura at how fast the hikari was going. He slid to his knees and grabbed the black leather gloved hand that was hanging on.

 

“Yami hang on I'll get you out.” Yugi had tears in his eyes as he looked at Yami.

 

“Aibou…how?” Yami breathed out.

 

“Bakura told me everything. He told all of us. I thought it was you…but…” Yugi trailed off as he felt Yami's hand slip a little from his.

 

“Yami can you help pull yourself up?” Yugi said fear lacing his voice.

 

Yami tried but he could no longer feel his legs and was growing colder and weaker by the second. He looked sadly up at Yugi and shook his head.

 

Bakura, Jou and Seto were almost to Yugi and Yami when they heard another crack.

 

“What the hell!” Bakura yelled.

 

Yami looked up at Yugi with tear filled crimson eyes.

 

“Aibou p-please the ice is g-going to break it can't h-hold you it's to weak.” Yami said as he started to shake uncontrollably.

 

“Yami I lost you two years ago and I won't lose you now!” Yugi said with tears running down his face.

 

Seto slowly crawled on his hands and knees toward the two not hearing the others protests to stop. His main concern was on Yami and Yugi now.

 

“Yami give me your other hand!” Seto yelled above the wind.

 

Yami tried but only could reach so far since the cold was getting to him. That and the fact that the ice he was holding on to was just helping him to slip further into the water.

 

Seto scooted closer and grabbed his hand.

 

“Yugi just do as I do and slowly start inching your way backwards.”

 

“Alright.” Yugi nodded.

 

Mokuba, Bakura, Ryou, Jou, Honda and Anzu watched in horror as the ice began to crack more.

 

“Yugi! Seto! Let go the ice is c-cracking and you two may f-fall in as well!” Yami yelled over the wind that seemed to get louder by the second.

 

“NO!” Both Seto and Yugi yelled.

 

Suddenly without warning the ice broke sending Yami, Yugi and Seto plummeting into the icy water.

 

Tbc…

 

Evil cliffie…I know…Getting good at leaving it at the good parts.
