Sapphire: Happy Halloween everyone!

Ashley: Where have you been!

Sapphire: Around? (she glares at me) Fine, I been busy on my Deviantart account. I have 25 watchers now! In three short months too. I'm so happy, people actually like my stuff!

Crystal: So why are you posting this now? I thought you said you wouldn't post this until you had it done on DA.

Sapphire: I did, but since it's Halloween, and all the Halloween chapters for my other stories have taken a back seat ever since I started to draw more, I figure this would be nice. The first chapter does have a nice Halloween...'flare' to it.

Ashley: You have Yugi going insane for a bit.

Sapphire: That's why it's perfect for Halloween. I won't be posting more of it until I have it either done on DA or have one of my other stories done. We'll see. Any who, I got inspired to do this by a PMV, Pony Music Video, done by Giggle Pie on Youtube. They second part with the voice got to me, so here is a story! I don't own anything but the characters that will be seen later. So sit back, and relax, and read. Don't forget to comment at the end, enjoy!

Yu-Gi-Oh: Stuck In The Darkness

Chapter 1 - I Don't Want to Die

"I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die."

In a dark hole a boy rocked back and forth, back and forth. Curled up in a ball, as tight as he could. He hid his face in his knees and kept repeating the same thing over and over.

"I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die."

The world he once knew gone. His friends had gone insane as the darkness invaded his world and corrupted their minds, all of them, but his. He was barely a shell of his former self.

"I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die."

His skin was pale, but dark because of the dirt that had build up over the time he wondered around on the outside. His once healthy figure, thinned and bony from the lack of food and water. His gravity defying hair of black with red outline tips and yellow bangs, dirty and tangled and limp. His slightly round face, sunken and amethyst eyes once bright held only a little of the fire and light he had before the fall of his home, his life, his world.

"I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die."

How his world fall? He barely remembered himself. All he knew was that he should never let his only treasure, his only possession go. To never let anything bad happen to it. And so he held it close as he rocked back and forth, back and forth and continued his chant.

"I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die."

This treasure he held close was an inverted pyramid puzzle with the eye of Horus and made of gold that he had on a steel chain. He put this puzzle together years ago and became friends with the two spirits trapped in the puzzle's walls.

"I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die."

The spirits of a former pharaoh and his husband help this boy out many times, but also got him into situations no normal teenager should get in, but hey, he wouldn't be consider a normal teen after everything. The spirits help him make some friends, friends that stood by his side through all the good and bad times. They help him grow up, and taught him and gave him confidence in himself and the game they played threw all their adventures. They taught him to believe in the 'Heart of the Cards', and to trust his deck and monsters. Those monsters and friends help him become a man he didn't think was possible at first. But now...

"I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die."

He's world was great, he was happy, he had his sane friends, a family that loved him, and his treasure. But one day everything fell apart...but the problem he had, he couldn't remember what happened to cause the destruction of his world. That day and the days that followed vanished from his mind, only leave some of the memories of before this.

"I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die."

Outside his hole the world had changed. The sun was never seen, always covered up by the dark clouds that never moved or changed, just made the whole world dark and wet when it did rain on the occasion. The people changed over time, with no light shining on them and usher in the new day, everyone slowly turn insane. Murder and crime happened more. Fights and killing increased. With people going crazy, no food was grown, no water was clean to drink.

"I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die."

Animals turned on people, people turned on animals, people turned on people. Monsters from a realm he never thought he see again, the Shadow Realm, broke free and roamed the streets killing or trying to protect those they cared the most. But even those monsters weren't strong enough to stop the bigger and darker ones. Everything was madness, nothing was what it used to be. Everyone fended for themselves, doing anything to live another day. The world became a bleak and dark place. No where was safe. Home wasn't safe, he's grandfather tried to kill him when he came home late the last night he spent there. His friends where either insane or dead, killing themselves or killing one another. He had nothing left...only his puzzle and the spirits inside.

"I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die."

He ran away from home that night his grandpa tried to kill him, he remember that, but he couldn't remember how he got out or how he got into this hole. He tried to leave the hole but it was not safe outside. Outside he could get killed by someone, or eaten by the monsters that roamed around freely.

"I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die."

And so, this teenage boy sat and rocked back and forth, back and forth, chanting over and over as he felt his mind slipping from the light and into the madness that is the darkness, clutching to his treasure, and the only two friends left in this cold, dark world.

"I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die."

The puzzle glowed, but not to much to blind the boy, though his eyes were closed, and appeared the two spirits of the puzzle. "Please don't do this Little One," said the paler of the two.

They both looked like the boy, but their faces were sharper while his was chibi like, or used to be. They both had crimson eyes where as their Little One had amethyst. They had extra bangs going into their hair, while Little One didn't, but a cute smaller bang did dangle in the middle of his forehead. The one that spoke was pale like the boy while his love, the former Pharaoh, was tan like the Egyptian he was.

"I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die."

The two spirits looked at each other worriedly, the boy had been like this for days. He hadn't left the hole, hadn't eaten, or hadn't slept in that time. They felt so powerless. They tried to take over his body as they done hundreds of times before, but something was preventing them from doing that now.

The two couldn't remember what happened to the world before it became this. They knew it was something dark behind it, what...they had no clue.

The Pharaoh tried to hold the boy, but being a spirit didn't help and he just went right threw him. "Yugi, please stop this. You're going to go insane if you keep this up. You're going to die and the world's only hope will die if you don't leave this hole and go find something to eat!" the Pharaoh said, almost demanded of the boy. "Get out now and find some food!"

"Atem, stop that. He's in no condition to go out! He's weak and afraid! All he knew is gone!" the paler spirit said.

"And you don't think I now that Yami! I've seen it, you have seen it! The world is fall to shit, and we need to do something, anything to stop it! And we can't do anything with Yugi acting like this!" Atem yelled, not noticing that his yelling was causing the boy, Yugi, to curl up more into himself.

"I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die."

Yami glared at Atem and pointed to Yugi. "You see what you have done! You're yelling isn't helping him, you demanding him to do something isn't helping him either. He's closing us out, and if he does that we won't be able to help him." He turned to Yugi, trying to get the boy's attention. "Yugi please...please don't close us out. We just want to help you."

"I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die."

Atem groaned and rubbed his forehead, even though he was a spirit he swears he could still feel headaches and migraines. "This is getting us nowhere. He won't listen if you talk to him like that. He needs to be force into it!"

"He doesn't need to be forced into anything! We have to be gently, he's already unstable, push him to far and he might crack!" Yami yelled, floating over to his husband to yell in his face.

"Then why don't you take over and get him to go, oh what you can't! Someone is blocking our ability to do so!" Atem yelled back.

"Then what do you suggest then?! Huh? Because so far nothing you suggesting is working!" Yami yelled, and as the two fought Yugi picked up his rocking, rocking faster and chanting a bit louder.

"I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" he yelled at the top of his lungs. "STOP IT! STOP FIGHTING! Stop it!"

The two looked to him as he started to yell and watched as he fell to his hands and knees and cried loudly. "You two never fought like this. Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! I just want things back to normal. I just want you two happy again. So please...STOP FIGHTING!"

The two spirits looked down, feeling ashamed for yelling and said their apologies.

"Sorry Little One."

"Sorry Ahku."

They went to his side and did their best to comfort him and waited for him to calm down. It took a while, but he finally did and took several deep breaths. "You okay now Yugi?" Atem asked.

Yugi weakly nodded and leaned against the wall. "I think so, but I don't want to be around you two, not now."

"But Yugi-"

Yugi shook his head, "No I don't want you two with me now. Please go back into the puzzle until I say so." The two spirits looked at each other before going back into the Millennium Puzzle and waited for Yugi's say.

Yugi slipped the Puzzle off his neck and looked at it. "What has happened to us? To me? To our home?" he asked to the puzzle before looking down to the opening of the hole he was in. It was thankfully covered and hard for anyone to notice and get in, but not for him...at least he thought it was.

"Is there any hope left? Can we really be saved? Or are we really...stuck in the darkness?"

Sapphire: Well there you have it!

Ashley: I can't believe you did that to him!

Sapphire: Yeah, I've been tapping my inner demon hell spawn/dark side. Basically you!

Ashley: Oh how sweet of you. (eye roll)

Crystal: There is going to be bits of fluff, not a lot, but this is a mobiumshipping story.

Sapphire: With end of the world theme and murder and much more! How will Yugi survive? Will his Pharaohs be able to help him? Favor and follow to find out! And please be nice and give a review, flame will be used to keep us warm during this time.

Ashley: I'm surprise he's not freezing his butt off!

Sapphire: Nope! Bye!
