Elevator Stories

Disclaimer- I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh. I do own these stories and the OC's that will appear periodically in them.

A/N- This is just a bunch of random one shots. There will be many of them so this will be updated at random intervals. Basically whenever I can think of one. For those of you who have read it I will get back to Many Mixed Magics as soon as my life calms down, most likely sometime in mid-October, Grrr...

'Thoughts' "speech" /Yugi to Yami/ $Yami to Yugi$ #scene change#

Prologue

CATHUNK!!

POP! POP!...POP! POP! POP!...POP!

Suddenly the elevator ground to a halt and everything went black.

"What the...?! A voice snapped.

"Huh? What happened?" Another voice asked from somewhere in the gloom.

"I don't know, but when I find out..." The first growled, the unfinished threat hanging in the air like lightening ready to strike. The voice's owner groped in the dark as he spoke, attempting to locate the radio built into the Kaiba Corp logo on his collar. Finding it Seto Kaiba muttered another threat under his breath before pressing the button.

"This is Kaiba. What's going on? Why has the power failed?"

"Hello? One of you fools had better answer before I lose my temper!"

"Can anyone hear me?"

"This is useless!" Kaiba snapped finally after a long moment of silence.

"Uh...is there anyway you can jumpstart it or something?"

"Yugi, you watch too many movies."

"Hey it was worth asking. So...what you're saying is...we're trapped?"

"...Yes...unless those imbeciles figure out how to get the main power back on or the emergency power kick in, which by the way, should have happened already. The biggest problem is that no one knows we're here."

"This is going to be a long day." Yugi said with a sigh.

$That is an understatement, Hikari.$ A voice suddenly echoed in Yugi's mind.

"Yike! Yami, don't do that!" The startled light yelped.

"Don't do what young one?" Said guilty party asked as he appeared in spirit form. His transparent image was actually sharper and more solid like in the pitch blackness of the elevator. It was however the only thing either mortal could see.

"Never mind."

"Heh, heh what did the esteemed Pharaoh do?" Kaiba's voice asked from somewhere on Yugi's left.

"Nothing. So...we're stuck in an elevator with no way of calling for help and we don't know when someone is going to realize we're missing and come looking, right? Anyone have any ideas on what we could do to help pass the time?" Yugi asked quickly changing the subject.

"Yeah, sit and do nothing." Kaiba muttered.

"Uh-huh, like that's going to do much. Yami...what about you? Any ideas?"

"Well...back in Egypt whenever I was in a boring audience or something like that...whenever my presence was required but my attention was not...I would often silently tell myself...a story...I guess. Or exchange one with Sarth (OC), my High Priest, once we gained the ability to talk mind-to-mind." Yami replied slowly.

"Stories hmm...hey! What if we picked a topic and then each of us told a story from our past that relates to it. If we're still here after everyone is done then we can pick another topic and so on, for as long as we're trapped. The first topic could be say...most embarrassing day."

"Interesting idea, Yugi."

"Humph...do what you want, I don't care." Kaiba said. "However, I am not about to share any stories."

"Like you have anything better to do?" Yami asked skeptically.

"......Fine...maybe, maybe I'll tell something, but only on the condition that 'his royal highness' here goes first and I go last."

"Heh, I like that plan." Yugi said with and invisible grin aimed at his partner.

"Hey! Now...wait a minute! I never said that I would go first...I just said it was an interesting idea!"

"Too bad, Pharaoh, now spill." Kaiba said, smugness practically pouring off his words.

"Yeah, come on Yami."

"I'll get you for this, Yugi." Yami muttered, directing a glare in the direction of his lighter half. He then fell silent for so long that the other two were beginning to wonder if he had changed his mind and was going to disappear on them. Quite suddenly he started talking.

"It all started on a typical day in Egypt..."

A/N- Short...yes, boring...yes, cliffhanger...yes, get used to it. Almost every other chapter will be like this. Anyway what do you think? Anyone curious about what story Yami is about to tell? Oh and if anyone hasn't figured it out yet this takes place sometime after Battle City and Yami can remember almost his whole past. (There are still a few holes which may or may not show up later.) Friendly criticism only please. NO FLAMES! Until next time!
