Final Revenge
Chapter 1
The camping trip had so far been great to the friends. They (Joey, Tristan, Tea, Serenity, Yami, Yugi, Ryou and Bakura) were currently swimming in the warm pond. The crystal clear water, which glittered in the bright sunlight, was coming from a river which got its water from a waterfall not far from there. The current in the river was quiet strong, but the pond itself was calm.
Yami looked around when Tristan and Joey suddenly started a water-splashing war, while Tea and Serenity retreated to the shore. He turned and saw that Bakura had pulled Ryou to the corner of the pond which could hardly been seen from his current position. Yami turned around when he head soft laughter from his left side and saw his aibou swimming a few meters beside him. Yami couldn't help but stare at Yugi; he had water droplets in his hair which sparklingly reflected the sunlight while his amethyst eyes shined with joy.
Yugi was watching Tristan and Joey and didn't see Yami who swam a bit to the side so he was behind Yugi. Yami took a deep breath, ducked noiselessly into the water and dived deep enough so Yugi wouldn't see him directly. He swam until he was just under Yugi who was lightly trashing in the water to stay above the surface. Yami grabbed one of Yugi's ankles and quickly pulled him down to him. Yugi immediately began to struggle after being pulled down so suddenly.
/Yami! Help!/
//It's just me, Aibou.// Yugi stopped trying to fight his attacker off after hearing Yami's voice through their mind link and opened his eyes which he had held tightly shut. Yami quickly captured Yugi's lips with his own and gently blew air into Yugi's lungs since he knew that Yugi didn't get much before he had pulled him down. They slightly parted so that they could look at each other, but Yami refused to let completely go. He couldn't help but stare once again at Yugi. Even so he could only see him a bit blurred due to the water, his little light just seemed perfect to him.
He was brought back to reality when Yugi started to run his hands over Yami's bare chest. Yami rubbed his hands over Yugi's back in response. Yugi pulled Yami nearer by wrapping his arms around his darker half. He nuzzled Yami's neck and moved his head up so that his lips were only centimetres from Yami's. Yami parted his lips, letting a few bubbles escape, before Yugi closed the gap between their lips. Yugi wrapped his legs around Yami's waist and ran his hands over Yami's back and through his floating soft hair. Yami felt himself getting hard and moaned into Yugi's mouth, the sound gurgling in the water. He only pulled apart when he noticed the tightness that had settled on his chest some moments before, signalling him the need of oxygen. They slowly floated upwards, Yugi still clinging on Yami.
They resurfaced and gasped for breath. Yugi had hardly time to regain it when Yami pulled him once more in a kiss, bruising Yugi's lips. When Yugi moaned in pleasure, Yami used the opportunity to slip his tongue in Yugi's hot cavern. They slowly parted again and gazed into each others eyes; both pairs filled with barely controlled lust. Since they had been camping for a week now the two boys hadn't had much privacy, something that Yami was now registering almost painfully. It took almost his complete willpower to resist the desire to take his aibou just now in the pond.
"Come one, let's go eat something." Joey yelled from the side of the pond while climbing out.
"Later." Yami and Yugi called back in unison. When Yugi shifted in Yami's arms Yami could feel Yugi's hard member rubbing against his stomach.
//You know we have to cool down before we get out of the water.//
"Easier said than done." Yugi whispered in Yami's ear before licking it slowly. Yami stifled a yell which escaped his mouth as a gasp when Yugi licked one of his most sensitive spots.
//Aibou, you should stop that right now.// Yugi pulled away and pouted.
/Spoilsport./ They slowly made their way to the side of the pond and sat down in the knee-deep water. Some time later they climbed out of the pond to join the others at the tents. They hurried to eat since they wanted to do something else today. There was some kind of lift (AN: sorry I don't know how to call this thing in English. It's some cabin that drives (?) to the top of the mountain and back) which let to the top of the mountain and with that to the waterfall. Yami had hesitated at first, especially when he heard that Bakura would go with them. Knowing Bakura he would probably try to get the puzzle by tossing Yugi into the river just in front of the waterfall. But Yami didn't have a chance to say no when Yugi used his puppy eyes on him.
As soon as they finished eating they got dressed and went to the station where the lift stopped. Once they were on the top of the mountain Yami forgot all his worries about Bakura at the sight that was displayed in front of them. The water in the river was running fast and with an immense force that no person would be able to escape if he/she once fell into it.
The group went as near as they dared to the edge of the cliff. Yami couldn't see the river below due to the mist the roaring current caused. The sun rays created a rainbow in the mist; all in all was the sight simply breathtaking especially for two ancient spirits who grew up in Egypt.
Yugi wanted to go nearer to the edge, but Yami quickly took Yugi's hand and pulled him back.
"Careful, Aibou." Yami pointed the stones in front of them out, which were all wet and slippery.
"Thanks Yami. I didn't notice that." Yugi gave Yami a small peek on the cheek to thank him.
"Enjoy your time as long as you can, Pharaoh! It won't last any longer!" Yami whirled around and saw Yami Malik glaring at him.
"Now I can finally destroy you, like you deserve it." An insane grin suddenly lit Yami Malik's features up.
"But I hurt you beyond any pain before it comes to that pleasure." Yami prepared for any attack the other yami might throw at him. Yami Malik pulled his Millennium Rod out and got ready to use the hidden blade. He suddenly started to run with inhuman speed towards Yami. Yami was ready to block any attack minding the slippery stones right behind him. Before Malik got into his range he suddenly changed his course. Yami's heart skipped two beats when he realized that it wasn't him who Malik was aiming at, but Yugi.
He reacted fast and pushed Yugi out of the way. As soon as Yami got his balance back he cast a quick glance at his aibou to see if he was ok. Malik took that moment and swung the blade at him. Yami saw the blade coming down at him and he took a step back trying to avoid getting halved. He wasn't fast enough and Yami Malik cut his chest from the right side of his waist to his left shoulder. Since he had stepped back Yami was now standing on the wet stones. The blade was swung again, cutting across Yami's stomach. Malik would have used the dagger a third time, but Bakura pulled him back from Yami, not noticing that the last blow had destroyed Yami's balance. Yugi cried out and the last thing he saw were Yami's shocked eyes before he fell backwards and out of sight into the waterfall.
Yami didn't remember ever feeling that scared before. He didn't want to die. Not like this. More importantly, he didn't want to never see his love again. The fall seemed so surreal to him, but it got all too real when he hit a stone sticking out of the waterfall with his right elbow. He cried out at the hot-white pain which seared through his whole arm. The pain impossibly increased when he hit the hard water surface. He thought for one second that he would be able to survive this, but this thought vanished immediately when the current pulled him along and down. He was violently tossed around, the water never releasing the hold it got on him. He screamed when his injured arm hit a stone again. He instantly swallowed and chocked on the water which caused him to swallow even more water. The current speeded up and pulled him along. He had long lost his orientation and couldn't tell anymore where up or down was. Red dots were dancing in front of his eyes, but before he could pass out due to the lack of oxygen he hit his head hard and knew no more.
"Yami! Yami!" It took both Tristan and Joey to hold Yugi back who seemed to be ready to jump after his other half.
"Let go off me! No, Yami!" Hot tears were running Yugi's cheeks down. He was struggling hard in Joey's and Tristan's grips; both boys were slowly pulling Yugi away from the edge. Yugi saw now how Ryou went as far as he could and looked down.
"Ryou! Ryou do you see anything?" Ryou shook his head. Tea, seeing this, started to sob.
"No, I can't see him." Yugi suddenly stopped his struggles and went limp in his friends' arms. He reached out through their mind link and immediately felt Yami's shock, his denial that this was real and his love for Yugi. Yugi was about to say something to Yami when he felt a sharp pain in his arm. He cried out, but didn't pull away from the link, despite his instinct telling him otherwise. He suddenly felt trapped and couldn't breathe properly. It was like it was him who was in the current of the water and not Yami.
He didn't notice how Joey was shaking him, demanding to know what happened. Yugi dropped to the floor and started to cough. His chest was too tight to take a sufficient breath in while his lungs were burning as if they were on fire. He barely registered how he was gently pushed into a laying position. Yugi cried out when he felt another pain exploding in his head, before he finally passed out.
Joey looked at the figure of Yugi who had fallen still after crying in pain and grasping his head. After glancing at Tristan, Joey carefully picked his small friend up, afraid to hurt Yugi even more with moving him around. Yugi was hanging limply in Joey's arms when Serenity returned after alerting someone that one of them had fallen down the waterfall.
"We have to get Yugi away from here."
"You're right. We don't know how long Bakura can keep Yami Malik busy." Tea said and led the way to the elevator. Joey, Tristan and Serenity followed her, but Ryou stayed where he was, looking worriedly at Bakura who was still fighting. Tristan noticed that and turned to the others.
"Go ahead. I stay back with Ryou." Serenity gasped.
"No Tristan. That's too dangerous."
"Don't worry, we'll be fine." Before someone could protest Joey said:
"I'm counting on you Tristan." He, Serenity and Tea hurried to get into the cabin. Once inside Joey placed the unconscious Yugi onto a seat and sat beside him. Tea sat onto Yugi's other side and Serenity sat beside Joey. Tea took one of Yugi's hands into her own. They sat in silence for the first few minutes until Joey couldn't stand it anymore.
"Darn, can't this thing go faster?!"
"I hope Yami is ok..." Tea trailed off, tears swelling up in her eyes.
"I hope so too, but..." Joey glanced at Yugi's face which was ash grey and contorted in pain.
"There wasn't anything that got the chance to hurt Yugi after Yami..." he broke off and shook his head.
"Yugi wouldn't break down like that without any apparent reason. Even if Yami was –is- still alive, he has to be hurt." Serenity leant onto her brother's shoulder.
"Do you thing that Tristan, Ryou and Bakura are alright, Oni-chan?"
"Tristan had survived much worse. I'm sure they are fine." No one said anything after that until Yugi finally began to stir and woke up. He looked around in confusion until he recognized the elevator. He wanted to jump up to see how far they were from the bottom of the mountain. He needed to get there as soon as possible. Two gently, yet firm hands kept him in the seat
"We have to find Yami. " Yugi said as calm as he could to Joey and Tea. Both nodded and Tea squeezed reassuringly his hand she was holding.
"We know that. We're on our way."
"He is drowning. Last time I felt him he was in the current of the river and hit his head. We have to find him fast."
"How is he now?" Serenity asked worriedly. Yugi didn't need to reach out to check that. He could feel that his dark half was out cold. He never-the-less did, but felt nothing else. No pain, no thoughts from Yami; nothing.
"Alive but unconscious...aren't we down yet?" Yugi asked irritated and looked once more around, finally noticing that three other members of their group were missing.
"Where are Tristan, Ryou and Bakura?"
"Bakura was still fighting that insane Yami and Ryou didn't want to leave him behind. Tristan stayed with them to make sure they'll be alright. Joey replied and got up when he saw the station. Yugi was right behind him when he got of the lift.
/We're coming Yami. We'll find you./ With that they set off running to the bottom of the waterfall.
