Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Light in the Darkness ❯ Balance ( Chapter 2 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

By: Laryna6

Disclaimer: If I owned Yu-gi-oh, Bakura would get to fight Zork.

As you can see, I am continuing Light in the Darkness since I don't want to work on Devotion since I don't have the episodes and I want to do at least two chapters each week.

This is the analysis of another Yami/Hikari pair. I am also going to do Malik/Marik.

I'm so stupid, I didn't bring the Shonen Jump with their meeting! So it's AU, ok? If I can't do it right I'm not going to even try to duplicate it.

Yadonushi = landlord, it's Bakura's name for Ryou. At least in fanfiction, I'm not sure about the anime.

Going with the manga's version of the Bakura vs. Yami first battle. Currently being published in Shonen Jump! Oh, and in the manga, Tristan got captured trying to find Mokuba and Bakura let him out. Oh, and Pegasus dies when Bakura takes the eye.

--Khu khu khu… So you can hear me, can you? It must be the presence of the puzzle that allows me to finally talk to my host…---

"Who is this?! Show yourself!"

--Stop shouting, yadonushi. I don't want people to think my host is crazy, now do I? If you don't stop shouting, I'll have to hurt you…--

-You're in my head!? What are you?!-

--You, little yadonushi. Your dark side.-

-What do you mean?-

--Why, I'm a part of you that you lost a long time ago. Now shut up.-

-What?! My body is moving on its own! Are you doing this?!-

--So excitable…now go to sleep. I don't need you interfering with my plans to claim what is mine.-

-Wha…-

VAVAVAVAVAV

-What? I'm at home…But just a second ago I was at school! I must have blacked out, I'm having hallucinations. Yes, that's it.-

--Silly yadonushi…now be a good boy and look on your desk…--

-It's a Monster World figure. That's strange, it looks like…NO! It couldn't be!-

--Of course it is. It looks exactly like that annoying teacher who was going to make you get your hair cut. Why does it look like him, you ask? Because it is him.-

-Wh…Why did you do this?-

--Well, I have to repay my host, don't I? And you're glad, aren't you? Glad he isn't going to be mean to you any more. You're so frail yadonushi. Aren't you glad you have me to look after you?-

-…God help me.-

--Yes, you should be grateful. Remember how you used to wish you could play with your friends forever? I made your wish come true! Khu khu khu…--

-All those times my friends collapsed when we were playing Monster World…going into comas and not waking up…I thought I had lost them forever.-

--No, you've got them forever. They're safe in your little world, yadonushi. You can play with them as long as you like. Aren't you glad?-

-…No! I'm not!-

--Now, now, little yadonushi…you're a very bad boy for lying like that. You've got people who won't ever leave you now, not like your mother, sister and even your father have. You've got your friends, and me.-

-…I'm not lying.-

--And soon you'll have even more friends to play with. You like that Yugi brat, don't you? Defending you against that mean teacher, him and his friends…Don't you want to spend more time with them?-

-What do you mean?-

--I mean, yadonushi, that I've invited them over for a game of Monster World. Isn't it great how our desires fit together? You get more friends, and I get the Millennium Puzzle…-

-Oh no!-

VAVAVAVAVAV

--What's wrong, yadonushi? Don't you want to watch the game? Monster World is your favorite…--

-I'm not going to just sit back and watch you do this! And quit calling me yadonushi, I have a name!-

--Don't be so harsh, little yadonushi…look, your friends are having so much fun!-

-How dare you trap them with someone that looks like me!-

--Just sit back and watch the show. Soon we'll both have what we want…--

VAVAVAVAVAV

--What?! That attack should have killed them! Wait, why is my left hand moving on its own…--

--Defying me, little yadonushi? How dare you bite the hand that feeds you! Take that!-

--Ooh, I just spooked your little friends…Trying to free you? Good luck…--

--NO!!-

-See, you spirit? I'm not just your plaything! I'll fight you with these people, as a figure in the game!-

--That should have killed them! Damn you, yadonushi!-

--…I…won't…let…you…win…-

--Yadonushi!--

VAVAVAVAVAV

-Damn, I thought you were destroyed!-

--Khu khu khu…I told you I'd never leave you all alone. And aren't you glad I saved your friend Tristan from Pegasus's cell?-

-It's the least you could do after you turned him into a doll! But still…thanks. But don't think this means I forgive you for all you've done!-

--Khu khu khu. You're funny, little yadonushi. I've protected you from Pegasus trying to get the ring…--

-He can have it!-

--…I'll pretend I didn't hear that. You don't really mean that anyway, don't you? And now I'm going to make sure Pegasus doesn't bother you ever again…--

-You killed him!-

--…I won't dignify that with a response.-

VAVAVAVAVAV

-You're after the guy who stole the puzzle? Let me guess, you want it for yourself.-

--What is it with you and stating the obvious?-

--Hmm…this man is under control.-

-Go Yugi!-

--Impressive. The brat can actually duel without the pharoah's help. This is boring me. Ring! Sever the strings that bind this man!-

--That son of a …he smashed the puzzle! Damn, now I have to wait for Yugi to put it together again! Wha…Oh no you don't!-

-You saved Yugi!-

--And got a thank you. Of course, he thinks I'm you…now don't distract me.-

-What are you doing to that piece?-

--Enchanting it, of course. Now I can explore the puzzle. It's good to know your enemy.-

-…Thank you for helping Yugi, even if you are only doing it for your own selfish reasons.-

--You're welcome. Now was that so hard?-

VAVAVAVAVAV

-Where am I? What happened to my arm! It was you wasn't it!-

--Yes, I did it to make a deal to help me get the millennium items. And because blood is sooo pretty…--

-Wha…I'm duelling Yugi? Why am I not surprised…Why did you let me out and what is that huge red thing?-

--I let you out to help me win. Just look pitiful. You're good at that.-

-What? I could die? You…you… How could you! You're pure evil!-

--Be silent!-

-I won't! You talk about looking after me and only wanting to get your family back, but it's all a lie! If you cared about me at all, if you had even a scrap of decency, you wouldn't put me in deadly danger just to help you win!-

--I NEED to win this duel!-

-No you don't! You always say that you are darkness, and Yugi can't destroy you! If that's true, then this duel doesn't matter! You have all the time in the world! I'm not going to let you use me. You don't care about me or anything besides yourself!-

"Yugi…"

-Why did you cut me off!?-

--…What were you going to tell him?-

-To just attack me! He can't let you win, I won't let him, so I want him to know I don't mind! It's not like I have anything to live for, host of a demon!-

--…Go back to your soul room. I'm taking over.-

-Wha…-

-You threw the duel? Why?-

--It's not as if one duel matters. I have time, yadonushi.-

-…-

VAVAVAVAVAV

--Get in your soul room and lock the door! Now!-

-What?-

--Just do it! Well, you've gotten your wish, yadonushi. I'll be gone for awhile. I promise I'll be back though. Don't come out until I get back, okay? Stay in the ring, or I swear I'll kill you, if you survive.-

-What happened?-

--I'm about to lose another duel to a goddamn god card, that's what. And when I do, your body will be destroyed and Marik will have the ring. Don't let him get his hands on you!-

-You lost my body in a duel!?!-

--…Shut up.-

VAVAVAVAVAV

--You looked for the ring? Why?-

-Well…I hate to admit it, but you're right. You are a part of me. I just felt so…Oh god, kill me now. My alter ego is a homicidal maniac.-

--Very funny, yadonushi.-

VAVAVAVAVAV

--Now the pharaoh has all three god cards and is close to getting his memory back, he needs the eye. The pharoah's yadonushi is such a baka, letting the god cards get stolen. You should thank me for getting them back for him, yadonushi. He did.-

-We're going along when Yami goes to the museum, Ba-khu-ra. Wha…What are you going to do? Why have you been helping?-

--The pharaoh has no idea why I want to kill him, yadonushi. It's no fun to get revenge on someone who thinks he's in the right. I want him to know what he's done. I want Yugi to know what he's done.-

-But, wasn't it his father?-

--He still used the items, didn't he? He profited from their deaths, he shares the guilt!-

-…It just isn't right Yami. He's a completely different person now. You were a thief, how would you feel if someone from your past killed you for something you forgot. And they'd have a lot more right to, because you are the same person you used to be.-

--…Shut up, yadonushi.-

VAVAVAVAVAV

--That servant of Shadi's won't stop me from coming along. I'll just go through the puzzle. You can come. I want you to watch.-

-What's wrong? You feel…wrong.-

--…Something's taking control of me! Go back to your soulroom until I manage to destroy it!-

-Can't I…-

--Go. Now.-

VAVAVAVAVAV

--Goodbye…--

Almost forgot to do this! Ok!

Explanations: This is the usual Yu-gi-oh philosophy. Yin-yang, a little bit of good in the evil, psycho!Bakura's desire for the approval of Ryou, and Ryou's not-competely objecting to the whole dolls thing. ?s? Review. One more chappie to go! Another western perspective on M&M.

Reviews:

SilverLily aka Blood Moon: I have taken your advice to heart. Love the …! And I had that duel turn out differently, if you look at the story again. And it's after he's opened his heart to Yugi, so it wouldn't work. Maybe I could have had him find out about Ushio, etc, but too late now. Your review was very helpful!

SoulDreamer: Thanks!

Dorie Kaiba: I know, I know. But Gravitation still isn't fantasy, so I don't see myself becoming a fan.

Misura: If I'd written it better the Ans wouldn't have been as necessary. It's my fault. Thanks for liking the format, the philosophy stuff ( that is what you mean by concept, right?) and Y&Y dynamic. I love them to pieces!

Silvershadowfire: I'm kinda stuck with the name. And I am doing different philosophies in my other chappies, as you can see. Hope you like it!

I am now on 5 favorite author lists and 8 Author Alerts! I am so happy! (Favorite story listing don't show up under stats, but people keep telling me my stories are on theirs, which makes me so happy!)
