Yin and Yang

Chapter 6

By Tiger-Serenity

It was 7:58. Everyone was sitting in the campus library talking quietly amongst themselves. Everyone except Ryou and Bakura that is.

Jou was sitting to the right of Kaiba asking him how he had been. There was a small blush on his face, but no one noticed. Kaiba kept shifting in his seat.

Mokuba was playing a game of Duel Monsters with Serenity. He kept glancing up to stare at her face. She noticed but pretended she didn't. She knew he was letting her win.

Anzu and Honda were sitting together on the couch talking about their date planned for Friday. They were happy in their own little worlds.

Yami however was pacing back and forth thinking to himself

Any observer would have guessed it was just a gathering of friends. No one would have suspected an even darker purpose for the meeting.

********************Yami's P.O.V.**********************

Yugi is in the Shadow Realm. I know it. But why can I not sense where he is. If I knew, I could warp right to him. This is so frustrating. Father, why do you not help me now? Is my destiny to be taken from the one I have grown to love with all my heart?

Silence. Then, suddenly, the grandfather clock started to chime.

It is 8:00. Time to begin our meeting. Where are Ryou and that baka yami of his?

"Has anyone seen Ryou and Bakura?" he asked.

" I haven't seen them come in." Mokuba replied. He was the only one facing the door. He would have noticed them come in the library.

"Well, Bakura should know enough about the Devil Monsters to explain what and who they are to Ryou. Everyone sit down and listen to me. This is not only for Yugi's sake, but the entire world's."

"Whoa, Yami. Is it really that bad?" Jou asked worriedly.

"Yes, Jou. It all started a millennium ago. Before I was even sealed into the puzzle. Before the Millennium Items."

" Before the puzzle?" murmured Anzu. She sunk further into Honda's arms. He nuzzled the top of her head with his chin.

" There was a group of monsters that no one could control. I did not even have the power to control them. They were like demons. Thus, they became known as the Devil Monsters. They moved of their own free will. I, at the time, was only a mage. But, I was considered the most powerful by the people. Even more powerful then the High Priest, Seth."

"You were a mage? How come I do not remember that?" Kaiba asked.

" How do you think I controlled my Shadow Monsters, Kaiba? I don't know why you can't remember. There is a lot of information that you do not know or remember about me. Contained in this story is something I had never planned to reveal to you all. I have not even told Yugi. I didn't think there was a need." Yami responded.

" What?" Honda asked.

" I will tell you in my story. All will be revealed." Yami answered.

"The Devil Monsters attacked the Egyptian people relentlessly. The other mages and I were called to fight against them. However, no matter what we placed against the Devil Monsters, we could never defeat them. They were too powerful. We were always forced to retreat. So many had already died fighting. There were only five mages left in all of Egypt. This included Seth.

One day, while battling them, the other mages fell. Seth was knocked unconscious. I was the only one standing. My monsters were either injured or destroyed. I knew my life was going to end if I did not think of something."

<<Flashback>>

" Time to die, mage. With your death there will be no one left to oppose us."

" I will not die here. You will be defeated." He said with more bravado then he felt.

" Look around you, boy. You are the only one standing. All of your monsters have been defeated. You have no where to go."

What am I going to do? Ra, help me. I cannot defeat them on my own. Send me a sign please! I pray of you. Guide me.

Suddenly there was a bright flash of light that caused Yami to shield his eyes in pain. Everything around him froze as if it was a hieroglyphic painted on a wall. Yet the sight in front of him held him in awe.

It was Ra.

He fell to his knees and bowed his head to the ground. He dared not to look up.

" Yami, you have called unto me during a time of crisis. The Devil Monsters destroy our people. They control the other Shadow Monsters like puppets. However, the gods cannot fight directly in this battle. We have chosen you to fight it for us, as you have a special destiny.

We grant you power. Power over the Shadow Realm. You have been chosen to defeat these monsters. You will become the Shadow Monsters defender. Their new protector. You will lead our people with their help."

" What do I do, my master? I am your humble servant waiting for your order." Yami replied from his knees.

" All mages are taught the spell of the Continual Void. No one has been able to accomplish it. We have not granted that power, until now.

Use the spell and entrap the Devil Monsters forever in the void. You have a destiny, mage. One that not even you can imagine. It has been foretold since you were born."

" Since before my birth…" Yami said in wonder.

" You do not know of your lineage. You mother never told you, as I had forbid her to tell you. Stand up, Yami, and face your father."

" My father?!"

" I speak the truth. When you were born the Fates foresaw your destiny. You are favored. Use your powers wisely, son, or the tides of favor will shift against you. The last two guardians were killed by their own monsters." With this he began to fade. "Take care, my son."

Suddenly everything unfroze around him. The Devil Monsters blinked and looked around them. They knew something had happened. They looked to the mage standing before them.

"What happened, mage? Tell us."

A golden eye started to glow in the center of Yami's forehead. He felt power filling his soul. A beautiful staff appeared in his hand.

" What?! A sennen eye? The staff of Ra! You have been blessed. The gods seek to defeat us. You still do not have enough power."

However, there was a slight change in his voice showing a sign of uncertainty. He felt power emanating from the boy. His powers had increased ten-fold. The other two Devil Monsters also noticed the change.

" You are wrong. It all ends now." Yami drew a knife from its sheath on his side. He started to hum softly.

" What are you doing?"

With the power of blood I bind thee,

Light and darkness is the key.

Open, void, I command thee.

Conceal the enemy.

Trap forever in your depths

The entities before me.

With the power of blood I bind thee,

Light and darkness is the key.

Open, void, I command thee.

With the power of blood and destiny.

Yami slit his arm with the knife. Blood ran and dropped to the ground. The creature watched it drop.

"You do not have enough power to use that spell."

" So you think. Look beneath you."

" No. It can't be. You do not have the power." The monster tried to move but couldn't. The first lines of the spell had frozen him in place. The staff of Ra glowed with a bright light.

The void opened up and began to draw the monsters into its depths.

"You have not seen the last of us, mage. We will be back. This is not our destiny." The monsters were sucked into the depths, disappearing into a swirl of blue and purple.

" Yet again you are wrong, Rezink."

" No one should have been able to break that spell."

" You…you're the …real son of Ra?" Jou said with an amazed voice.

" Yes, Jou. It is a little hard to believe isn't it? However, I made a grave mistake. I forgot that with every defeat of evil a new evil takes its place.

The pharaoh had died young without an heir. The people of Egypt chose me, making me their new pharaoh. They believed that I was the reincarnation of Ra. They did not know that they had chosen a son of Ra. They thought my power would protect them from evil.

But, I grew conceited. My soul became dark. I became part of the new evil facing Egypt. I abused my power. I lost favor with my father. It wasn't until true evil rose again that I realized my mistake. But, by then it was too late.

While I was fighting, the staff of Ra split into seven golden items. It became the Millennium items. Each piece contained it's own power. I watched as souls were pulled into them. I did not understand what was going on. I could not control them together. The only one I could control was a pyramid shaped object with the eye of Ra in its detail.

There is more about the staff, but I cannot remember. For some reason my full memory about it has been blocked. I remember that it existed, that I controlled it, and that it split into the Millennium items…

I lost my friends. I lost my connection to the monsters I was supposed to protect. I had grown to care for them. The Dark Magician and Celtic Guardian stood by my side. I was their protector and they protected me in return. They trusted me, but I betrayed them. I sealed the Shadow Realm.

In the end, I lost my dark soul. The strain was too great. I felt my body die. But, my dark soul remained. I was sealed inside what became the Millennium puzzle. As it fell to the ground it split into pieces. I could not escape.

I fell unconscious. I work up to discover that I had lost part of my memory. I could not remember who I was or why my soul was trapped.

I was supposed to die in my time, and go to the underworld, but I didn't. My heart would not have been lighter than a feather. It would have been as heavy as lead. My father must have took pity on me."

" No, Yami. You came here to fulfill your destiny." Stated Anzu.

" What?"

" Remember what Ra said, 'You have a destiny, mage. One that not even you can imagine.' He was taking about you coming here. To meet with Yugi. This is your destiny. You were destined to be sealed into the puzzle. It was not pity. It was a way for you to get here. To this time. Ra knew that the Shadow Monsters would be released again. That evil people would try to control them again. You were still needed to fight. You were needed to protect them."

" Anzu…I…I have never thought of it that way. Several people over the eons tried to put the puzzle together. Every one failed. Until Yugi.

I sensed as soon as he touched the puzzle that he was special. That he would be the one to release me. He looked so much like me. I vowed that I would protect him. I would guard the innocence that was shining from him, so that he would never become dark like me."

Inside his mind he heard a small but powerful voice that he recognized from so long ago. " She is right, my son. Fight with your heart. You never fell out of my favor. You were destined to be as you were in the past. That lesson helped you learn and grow.

Yugi also has a special destiny. He has taught you about the heart of the cards. These cards represent the hearts of the Shadow Monsters. You learned, again, to completely trust in them.

Remember the power of light and darkness. Yugi is goodness and innocence. You are the balance to his light. Remember this. Good luck, my son. Be with your destined light."

" Thank you, father" he whispered where no one could hear him.

I will find you, aibou. The Devil monsters will be resealed, and the power that released them shall be defeated. I swear it.

"To the Shadow Realm." He snapped his fingers.
