Angelic Intentions - Arc 1 - Chapter 2: Fear

Yami, Atemu and the rest of the gang were decorating the game shop for the party when the two fell to their knees in sheer shock. Their mind links were wide open and showing them every little detail through their hikari's eyes.

"Come on Yugi!" Heba held his brother's hand and ran. "Ushio is going to catch up."

"I can't," Yugi was stumbling as he ran. "I never knew Ushio was a demon."

"Then fly if you can't run," Heba glanced back and noticed Yugi's expression. He pulled him hard enough to get Yugi a few paces in front of him before he fell behind again. Those few seconds were enough. A bleeding cut ran across Yugi's back through a pair of white tattoo-like wings. There was no hope of Yugi using his wings to escape.

"Shit!" Heba once again pulled Yugi forward before spinning to face Ushio. Fiery daggers formed in his hands and he raised them in a defensive stance. Yugi followed suit, summoning a pair of golden sais.

"I like prey that fights back," Ushio snarled as he summoned a spear wreathed in tendrils of darkness. "It makes the hunt so much more sweeter."

Flames, light, and darkness battled fiercely. But as soon as it had started, things began to go wrong.

"Where the hell are our yami's?" Heba screamed as Ushio got him across the back, revealing a black pair of tattoo wings.

"Yami feel like he is frozen," Yugi yelled back before screaming as he slammed into a nearby wall, the cut on his back tearing painfully. He got up and panted before adding, "Something has frozen them so they can see but not assist!"

"We are so in deep shit right now!" Heba cried swiping at Ushio with his daggers. He cried out in pain as he got hit in the face before being stabbed in the stomach.

"Heba!" Yugi screamed. He watched as his brother fell to the ground. "NO!!"

Atemu snapped out of his frozen state. "Heba and Yugi are in trouble." Tea brought a hand up to her face in horror.

Joey and Tristan were trying to shake Yami into a response but his eyes continued to stare blankly ahead.

"You bastard!" Yugi launched at Ushio, sais high, ready to try and catch his throat or at least his chest.

"One down," Ushio said smacking Yugi in the chest with the end of his spear. "One to go!"

Yugi let out a gasp and clutched his chest. Ushio swung his spear pinning Yugi to the ground by his shoulder. Pulling it free, he was satisfied he had pierced a major blood vessel.

"You won't become Dominion class on my watch," Ushio hissed, kicking Yugi so he stared up at him. "The less of Heaven's forces joining them the better." He stomped down hard eliciting a pained cry from Yugi before walking off.

Yugi lost track of how long he laid there. He was painfully aware that both he and Heba were bleeding out and desperately needed help. His heart sang when he heard voices.

"Oh my!" A male with a British accent said.

"We better call for assistance," Another male with a more Egyptian accent said before the sound of a phone was being used reached Yugi's ears.

"Ryou, Malik," Yugi said weakly. His vision fading rapidly. "Thank Ra you are here."

"Don't worry," Ryou said pressing his jacket against Yugi's shoulder. Beyond him, Malik was pressing his own jacket to Heba's abdomen. "Help is on the way."

Yugi nodded and let himself give way to the darkness.

Yami snapped out of his daze and stared wide-eyed at Atemu. "We have to go find them now!"
