When I'm Lying In Your Arms (A Yu-Gi-Oh! Puzzleshipping Fanfiction!)

Chapter 17

*Comment Your Song Of the Day*

     We sat on the couch in the corner of the room with three cups of warm teas on the coffee table infront of Marik , Bakura and I. They seemed so hesitated to tell me , they kept throwing glances to each other for the last minutes. My amethyst eyes moved to between them in confusion.

     If they feel very uncomfortable about telling it to me , why bother.  I decided to said something but Bakura preceded me. He said "We are ... well were Ryou's and Malik's Yami. They were our Hikari" he said bitterly. I can felt the heartbroken from both Bakura and Marik inside their voice but there's one thing nagging me.

     "What do you mean by you guys are-" 

     "Were" Marik corrected

     I pulled my lips in to a thin line "were their Yami and they were your Hikari ? What's with Yami and  Hikari ?" I asked , unconsciously lifting up my shoulder and did a confuse gesture with my hands. They raised their eyebrows , looking at me weirdly "You mean , this whole time you lived with Yami you don't know this thing ?" Marik asked

     I shook my head and frowned , should I know this ? Is this thing even important like I have magic power buried deep inside me this whole time ? "I deserve an explanation in here" I crossed my hands infront of my chest , waiting for their answer.

      This time , it's Marik's turn to explain "This whole Yami and Hikari thing is like Yin and Yang. A Yami will lose control without their hikari and Hikari can't survive without their Yami" he clarified. I tilted my head in interest and curiosity "In other words , soulmates ?" I questioned again and Bakura nodded confirming my assumption.

     "Then why you both were their Yamis ? Not are ?" Something is fishy in here , I can sensed it. I felt like something is off but me just like a kid for the first time seeing things , I want to ask everything until I feel satisfied which can accidentally hurt them indirectly.

     "We did something that we shouldn't do and this is the cost that we have to pay" Marik muttered. The fishy feeling is now being replaced to dark. I can feel the dark aura surrounding their heart mourning over their lost relationship that they precious so much. My mind wondered off , what did they do ?

     Unexpectedly , I can saw the ground shook from the tea. Bakura and Marik immediately tensed up and eyes moving in fast pace scanning the room while me yeah , being not used to this kind of terrifying things , I hugged my trembling body and trying to calm my heartbeat.

     "Marik , go bring Yugi away from here. I can sense HIM" Following Bakura's instruction , he pulled me up and went ran to the wall "Wait! Marik! Where are we going ?" we kept running getting closer to the wall and my eyes widen in fear and shocl "Hold on! Marik! What are you doing ?!" but too late to stop now.

     We both collided with the wall but I didn't feel any pain but instead I feel nothing. I opened my eyes and looked around. This room is familiar when I went through the mysterious door in my house and the first time I met Yami and Heba.

     "Welcome to the Shadow Realm" he said and let go of my hand "Why do we go here ? Why is Bakura not with us running from there ?" there are actually more questions running through my mind but I knew it will be annoying if I voice out all of my questions immediately to Marik.

     "One because  we need to hide , Two Bakura is buying us some time to hide , Three why we are hiding is because we are outpowered by our enemy" after he explained to me he started to move while my brain processing what just Marik said from his mouth.

     "But then Bakura will hurt!" I exclaimed suddenly and ran to him , Marik turned his head to me and said "Trust me , he will be fine. I know him , he's my partner in crime for life" and we started to move again.

     I wrapped my hands around Marik's arm remembering the last time happen in this room and my eyes moving cautiously scanning the room. Marik looked at me and wriggled his arm out "What the hell is wrong with you ? Why are you clinging to me like some koala ?"

     "S-sorry , the last time I'm here. It's so scary" then my ears caught a sound of chains moving "Hey Marik , do you hear that" I said and closed my eyes focusing my sense to hear the sound "I didn't hear anything" he answered and I opened my eyes and stared at him "Carefully"

    We both fell in to a silent and the chain sounds is now resonance through the room and followed by a cursing by Marik "Shit!" he grabbed my arm non-gently and ran and I finding myself hard to catch up with him "Marik! Slow down!" I said as my short legs try to catch up with Marik's pace.

     What's with the big rush now ?
