Chapter 18: This is for….

Ryu and Yami hit the ground hard, Ryu lifted his feet and hit Yami hard with the bottom of his feet sending Yami flying back and hitting the wall of a near by house. Yami screeched in anger and the two quickly rose to their feet. Yugi, Bakura, Ryou, Kaiba and Jonouchi landed on the ground watching them fight. Ryu threw himself at Yami with all his force crashing through the wall behind Yami. Yami quickly grabbed Ryu's shirt and threw him out of the small house and he skidded across the ground. Yami jumped onto him attempting to scratch his face beyond recognition. Ryu kicked Yami hard sending him into the air then jumped up wrapping his arms around Yami's body pinning his arms to his side. Yami hissed in anger and forced his wings open growling in pain as the scratches became longer as he stretched them out then grabbed Ryu and threw him against the floor. Ryu cried out in anger then jumped to his feet and grabbed Yami's ankle before he landed, spun him around and threw him against the palace wall. Bakura flew over to Yami and helped the other to his feet.

"Are you alright?" Bakura asked.

"I'm fine." Yami assured the other.

Ryu flew forward to attack Yami, Bakura quickly stepped in the way to defend Yami but Yami pushed him out of the way and hit Ryu head on.

"No, don't help, I'm going to kill him with my own hands." Yami screamed angrily as the two hit each other and began scratching and clawing each other.

"Yami-kun," Yugi whispered worriedly.

Ryu pulled away from the other then quickly flew into the air before Yami could attack him again.

"Coward!" Yami shouted angrily.

Ryu smirked then darted down and kicked Yami hard pushing him over. Every time Yami attempted to rise to his feet Ryu kicked him back down. This happened continuously until Yami grabbed his ankle and slammed him onto the ground and began clawing his chest and wings. Ryu hissed in anger and grabbed Yami's wrists, turned over and forced the other's hands beside either side of his head. He then leaned down and bit into Yami's left arm and tore a chunk of flesh out. Yami screeched in pain and kicked him off then quickly rose to his feet clutching his injured arm. Ryu smirked then chewed and swallowed the flesh in his mouth with a smirk.

"You don't taste too bad." He commented with a smirk.

Yami hissed in anger and threw himself forward hitting Ryu hard and tearing at the other's skin. Ryu screeched in pain and dug his claws into the hole in Yami's arm. Yami screeched and quickly pulled and stumbled away from the other. Ryu licked the blood off of his fingers with a smirk. Yami growled in anger and threw himself at Ryu, Ryu quickly jumped into the air dodging Yami and dug his nails into either side of Yami's shoulders and dragged him into the air. Yami hissed and screeched in anger as he felt the blood run down his arms and his skin being stretched as Ryu flew through the air with him. Yami could feel the flesh on his shoulders being pulled away as it was being peeled away from the bone. Yami flipped his body around and clutched Ryu's wings with the claws on his feet and tore a chunk out of each of the wings forming two holes in his wings. Ryu screeched in pain and released Yami as the wind hit the flesh, bone and veins in his wings, the two fell and crashed into a near by river. Yami quickly swam to the surface and crashed through the top gasping for breath, he clutched his arm moaning as the water seeped into his injury. Yugi, Bakura, Ryou, Kaiba and Jonouchi landed beside the river.

"Yami!" Yugi cried.

Yami glanced over to Yugi but before he could speak he was yanked back down beneath the water. Yami spun around searching for Ryu but was hit hard by Ryu. Yami's eyes narrowed and he dug his claws into one of Ryu's injured wings. Ryu cried out but nothing could be heard as a few bubbles left Ryu's mouth. Ryu attempted to swim to the surface for some air but Yami grabbed his ankle and held him down attempting to drown the other. Ryu growled and kicked Yami in the face forcing him to let go. Ryu quickly swam to the surface then swam to the river edge and climbed out. Yami quickly shook his head still in the water clearing his head and swam to the surface, he then swam to the river edge and attempted to climb out.

"Having a fun swim?" Ryu asked.

Yami lifted his head then Ryu grabbed him by the shoulders and slashed his face hard ruining Yami's vision. Yami cried out and fell back into the river and let out a final breath as blood poured from his injuries. Yami could barely see forms gathering around the river edge vaguely making out Ryu and Yugi.

"Yami!" Yugi screamed trying to jump into the river after him but Ryu grabbed both of his arms holding him back.

Guards from Ryu's kingdom held Bakura, Ryou, Kaiba and Jonouchi back as the fought to save Yami.

"Let the disgusting beast rot in his grave." Ryu laughed.

"No! Yami!" Yugi cried desperately fighting against Ryu's hold.

Ryu growled in anger as he attempted to hold Yugi back, he barely had the energy to stand after the fight so he wasn't in the mood for Yugi's struggling right now, spinning Yugi around he hit the other hard. Yugi cried out in pain.

Yami could barely see Yugi fighting against Ryu's hold as his vision began to fade but before he did he saw Ryu strike Yugi across the face. Yami suddenly felt anger and adrenaline pump through his veins at the sight as he barely heard the cry from Yugi's lips.

Ryu smirked when Yugi stopped struggling and saw tears fall from his eyes. Suddenly both Ryu's and Yugi's body was sprayed with water. Ryu quickly spun around but it wasn't fast enough as he was suddenly thrown to one side. Yami stood on the river side gasping for breath as water dripped from his body. Ryu growled and threw himself at Yami but he grabbed Ryu's wrist and twisted it easily breaking it. Ryu cried out in pain and stumbled back clutching his wrist.

"That was the hand you hit Yugi with wasn't it?" He asked his eye's full of anger and loathing. "Well, you'll never do it again." He promised.

Ryu was gasping for breath as he clutched his arm moaning in pain. He growled and threw himself at Yami who easily dodged then grabbed his shirt and threw him to one side.

"I am sick of you causing harm to my friend's and the one I love." Yami spat angrily as he stood above Ryu.

Ryu growled and attempted to stand but Yami slammed his foot down his chest holding him down. Ryu hissed and attempted to claw at his foot but Yami was quicker and moved his foot and forced the claws into one of the holes in Ryu's wings and digging out some of the flesh. Ryu screeched in pain and attempted to move away from Yami but he just slammed his foot down onto his chest holding him down. Yami glared down at Ryu who stared back fear filling his eyes, he had known Yami a long time and had fought him many times but he had never seen the look Yami was giving him at this moment, he had never felt this afraid of Yami before in the thousands of years he had known the other.

"This….. is for my kingdom." Yami hissed, he slammed his foot down on Ryu's left arm crushing the bone at his elbow.

Ryu screeched in pain louder then he had ever screeched in his life. Yami walked around Ryu's body and placed his foot on the elbow of Ryu's other arm.

"This…. Is for my friends." Yami hissed, he slammed his foot down on Ryu's right arm crushing the bone at his elbow.

Ryu screeched in pain again as pain shot threw his body. Yami then moved again this time placing his foot on Ryu's right knee.

"This….. Is for Jonouchi." Yami hissed, he slammed his foot down on Ryu's right knee crushing the bone.

Yami moved again placing his foot on Ryu's left knee.

"This….. Is for Yugi." Yami hissed, he slammed his foot down on Ryu's left knee crushing the bone.

Yami moved one last time standing beside Ryu's above Ryu's head staring down at him.

"This….. Is for you." Yami hissed lifting his foot above Ryu's face.

"No, please do-" Ryu started.

He was cut off when Yami slammed his foot down on Ryu's face crushing the skull and feeling his foot hit the sand beneath Ryu's head. Yami stood in complete silence simply staring at the mess of broken bone, brain, blood and everything else that was now where Ryu's head had been only seconds ago. Yami slowly removed his foot from the messy remains dipped it into the water washing off the organs and bones. He slowly turned and stared at the guards still holding Bakura, Ryou, Kaiba and Jonouchi.

"I suggest, for your own lives, that you release them." Yami stated.

The four quickly released them and bowed to Yami. Yami silently brushed them off and turned to his friends.

"Are you alright?" Yami asked.

The four nodded.

"We're fine." Ryou assured him.

Yami nodded and turned to Yugi.

"Yugi?" Yami asked approaching the smaller.

Yugi's eyes filled with fear and he quickly backed away.

"Yugi." Yami repeated.

Fear filled Yugi's eyes and he tried to run but Yami quickly wrapped his arms around Yugi's body and held him close.

"Calm down love." Yami whispered softly holding him close.

He leaned back and stared into Yugi's eyes. The hate and anger had left Yami's eyes and were instead filled with love and care.

"Are you alright little one?" Yami asked.

"Yami-kun?" Yugi asked.

A soft, familiar smile traced Yami's face.

"Of course it is." He replied softly. "I am truly sorry you had to see that, I was just trying to protect you."

Yugi eyes softened and he threw his arms around Yami's body tears streaming down his face.

"Yami!" Yugi cried happily.

"Yugi stop." Yami stated wiping the tears from Yugi's eyes. "I did this to keep you safe."

Yugi's eyes softened.

"Shed no more tears for him little one." Yami said with a soft smile.

"No more nightmares?" Yugi asked with a happy smile.

"No more nightmares." Yami promised with a soft smile, he leaned down and kissed Yugi full on the lips wrapping both of his arms around Yugi's body.

Yugi smiled and held Yami close smiling happily.

"I love you Yugi." Yami whispered.

"I love you too Yami-kun." Yugi replied happily.

Yami smiled softly back and kissed Yugi's forehead. Bakura, Ryou, Kaiba and Jonouchi ran over to Yami and Yugi.

"Let's go home little one." Yami said with a soft smile.

Bakura and Kaiba stretched.

"Thank the Gods." Bakura said happily. "Yami, next time you need help don't come to me."

Yami chuckled softly.

"I won't." Yami promised with a soft smile.

Yugi glanced over to Ryou and Jonouchi.

"Yami-kun," Yugi said nervously.

"Yes Yugi?" Yami asked.

"Can Ryou and Jonouchi come with us?" Yugi asked hopefully.

Yami's eyes softened, "of course, if they want."

Yugi smiled brightly as Ryou and Jonouchi's eyes lit up.

"We can all go home." Yami said with a soft smile, he leaned down and kissed Yugi again.

"Isn't that sweet." Ryou said with a bright smile.

Ryou glanced over to Bakura and Kaiba glanced over to Jonouchi, the four blushed and quickly turned away. Yami and Yugi smiled at the cute sight, maybe this was their beginning.

Finished! Please Review! I kind of got to a point where I started not to like this story which was why I rarely updated but I kind of liked the ending! XD

Important Note: I started another story which was supposed to be a one shot but it's already 16 pages and I'm still writing, I just wanted to know should I post this up as one page or should I break it up into chapters? I'm not going to post it until it is complete but I know that it may be a bit long for one reading so breaking it into chapters will let people stop and easily find their place again but I did once have a bad connection with the internet and I found that I would have preferred it as one long story, so in your review let me know how you want it, one long story or broken into chapters, if you want it broken into chapters on average how many pages would you like in one chapter? Remember this is for your reading pleasure, I don't mind how I post it, let me know in your review! Thanks for reading!
