Elemental Magick

By: Neko-chan



A/N: Cutsy and funny new Yami Yuugi/Yuugi romance by yours truly! =^_^= I'm _almost_ positive that this is an original idea. Not quite--but almost positive. Also, planning on updating chapter thirteen for "Youth of the Nation" by Thursday, Feb. 6. Be on the lookout for it! ^_~ Besides that, when I get further into this story and "Youth of the Nation," I'm planning on starting another YY/Y fic called "Djinn O' Mine." Yami Yuugi is a djinn (genie) that Yuugi finds in Sugoroku's attic. Great fun to write, I can promise you that. Anyway, enjoy! *huggles to all*

WARNING: SHOUNEN-AI! That means GuyXGuy Romance! Don't like it, then please don't read. Yami Yuugi/Yuugi. I MAY have a little bit of Yami Bakura/Ryou IF enough people ask. Unless it happens...this fic will deal only with Yami Yuugi/Yuugi. Enjoy! =^_~=

Dedicated To: Pikachumaniac. You know why, PM. *glomps* =^_^=

DISCLAIMER: I no own. You no sue. The end. Everyone happy.





Chapter One

Have you ever had that feeling? You know, the feeling that comes before a extremely important event in your life occurs? That event may be good or bad--it doesn't really matter in the end--but the niggling, 'pay-attention-to-me!' feeling still comes. Nothing ever makes that feeling go away. Nothing _can_ ever make that feeling go away. And so that feeling remains, urging you to pay attention to it because... Well, because your life is about to change forever.

And yet... For the most part, people ignore that feeling. It's not always a very smart thing to do, but people still continue to ignore the feeling. But what happens when the feeling comes...and your life changes forever?

Ah.

Chaos and magick, of course.

"Elemental Magick, by Arashi Kenji," Yuugi read aloud as he stared down at the dusty old book he held in his hands. It was old, true--very old. The leather binding and cover were cracking with age, peeling away to show the material under the covering. The title and author had been written in old ink--and that had almost faded away with time.

Slowly opening the cover, Yuugi began to flip through the book, scanning page after page. True, he couldn't read a word of the script--it looked as if it had been written in some Celtic language, probably Gaelic by the looks of it--but there were pictures on every page. And they were stunning in their detail.

Suddenly, though, the page froze in mid-flip and Yuugi was left staring at a page that had been almost completely inked in...except for a pair of intently staring ruby eyes. The young boy gasped and almost dropped the book. It... It had felt as if the eyes had been looking straight at HIM. As if they were looking into the depths of his soul. But that wasn't possible, was it? ...was it?

It was then that Yuugi noticed that underneath the dark painting, a space had been cleared away for more writing. One word, to be specific: Yami. What did that mean? Yuugi wasn't sure and his frown deepened as he thought.

"Yami..." he whispered aloud, still lost in thought.

And the world erupted in darkness.



"Wh... Where am I?" the small boy cried out, staring with wide-eyes at the endless oblivion around him. The darkness seemed to continue on forever, never-ending, and all encompassing. Yuugi was terrified to move because he believed that if he moved--even if it was just a single inch--he would be swallowed up by the darkness for all of eternity.

He didn't know how right he was.

"You are here, with me, in MY home," a deep voice taunted from the blackness. The voice seemed to come from everywhere...and yet nowhere at the very same time. Its timbre and quality were swallowed up by the darkness--but its emotions rang true. Fury. Hatred. Frustration. And yet... Curiosity, also.

"Who are you?" Yuugi called out. He didn't know where the voice was coming from, so he screamed into the blackness surrounding him. He was scared, but the voice didn't know that--yet.

The voice spoke again. "You called for me. And I came, as I am bound to do. As I always do. And yet... The question remains: Now that you've managed to call the Elemental of Darkness, just what are you planning on doing with me?" The voice's speaker suddenly materialized and Yuugi was left staring at a person almost identical to himself. But the eyes... The eyes were ruby red, catching and holding his gaze with a hypnotic power of their own.

"I...am Yami."









A/N: Hai, hai, hai. Short chapter, I know. But this is actually more of a teaser than anything else. Next chapter and chapters following it will be longer. Next chapter you'll also learn how Yuugi got his hands on the spellbook and just what, exactly, Yami is. Explanations will come, I promise. Until then...review and make a cat-girl happy, onegai? =^_^=
