The Pharaoh's Rose (Atem/Yami Yugi x Reader)

Season 4; Episode 8

============================================

"I do apologize if you're uncomfortable with your current state, I just can't help it when I finally get my hands on something I've been wanting." Dartz hummed, his hands locking behind his back.

"How..." You gritted your teeth, "How did you..."

"Oh no, believe me, (y/n). I was fooled." Dartz nodded his head, "Kaiba's small plan worked out perfectly. I actually fell for it, I'm not going to try and lie. In fact, I thought on celebrating Nathaniel's dumb move until Rafael told me otherwise."

"Rafael?"

"Yes, he had a hunch and headed to Kaiba's place, you know, where you were at and coerced with one of Kaiba's workers who coincidentally worked with me." Dartz sighed as he rolled his eyes, "Then came back to me and told me everything. Oho, I was shocked when Rafael told me, but I took this as an opportunity to snatch you while no one realized I knew. Oh, would you like a more detailed part? I can gladly give thanks to someone in the Pharaoh's group."

"What....what do you mean?" You gritted your teeth,

"Oh, the Pharaoh was going to walk in on Rafael! Could you imagine how that would turn out? That'd make this way too hard for you to even be here in my grasp when it could be a lot easier." Dartz laughed as he spoke, "But that was entirely avoided when Tea of the group held him back, talking about whatever is on her mind, maybe it was about you?"

Your heart went down your body and your breath temporarily pulled to a halt. Dartz eyebrow quirked upon seeing your pale state,

"Ah, it seems you have had a history with Tea? Even better." Dartz smirked, "If it weren't for her, things would've been quite difficult on having you where you are now."

Oh you could only imagine the chaos inside that house, that is if Tea is actually held accountable. Although you had a hunch Yami wouldn't let this one go. Shaking that aside to think about later, you stared at Dartz,

"....Dartz, why are you even doing this?" You asked, "Do...Do you even understand what you're dealing with?"

Dartz's smirk faded, his eyes staring into yours as though you're speaking some foreign language.

"...What are you saying, (y/n)?" Dartz tilted his head with his eyes wide as he blankly stared at you, "The Orichalcos is a privilege! An honor to have with you. Its immortal being, its shining prophecy, the holy power it possesses! You mean to tell me you have all this, and you're unappreciative of it?!" Dartz looked shocked as he leaned closer to your face, "How is it that the Seal has chosen someone who hasn't even processed all its power?" His eyes went from blank to full of rage as he grabbed your neck tightly, "...It should've been me.." He muttered under his breath as you gasped for air. Forced to allow Dartz this close to you, you stared at him to only sense pure anger and vengeance in his soul, his whole being full of dark aura,

"...IT SHOULD'VE BEEN ME." Using his hand around your neck, Dartz angrily shoved you backward - the chains forcing you to bounce backward and back straight into his reach. Dartz forcefully cupped your cheeks and pulled you closer, the same dark look on his face seethed into your eyes.

"Tell me. What is it that you have that I don't? What kind of putrid ability do you have that makes you superior to me? No...you don't have anything. I've been watching you and you haven't even shown anyone the true potential of the Great Leviathan....no...no you haven't. Not even when you actively used it..." Dartz shook his head as he pulled your head upwards with his harsh grip on your cheeks before eyeing your neck. He scoffed and traced a certain part of your neck,
