YU-GI-OH...CONTINUED!
Chapter 1
Yin and yang battle for balance...but one comes up stronger. Yugi watches, knowing this can mean only one thing. An imbalance!
It has been weeks since Yami and Yugi dueled each other to see if they were ready to separate. Yugi had won and Yami was supposed to leave. To everyone's surprise, Yami, Marik, and Ishizu told them it was a joke and that Yami could stay. Later, Yugi and Yami decided that the day after Yugi turns 18 they will separate, and Yami will have his own body. This way they will both technically be 18 since they share the same birthday, and Yami doesn't really get older in the millennium puzzle.
Yugi watched as yin grew to be stronger than yang. His body shook with fear as the nightmare progressed. He knew what would soon happen.
At the age of two (the year after he started the millennium puzzle) his parents found out about his powers, the powers they like to think of as yin and yang. He is known at his full powers as the Yin-Yang Magician. When Yugi's full powers come to play his cloths split in color. His right side becomes black, or yin, the destructive side of his powers. His left becomes white, or yang, the strategic side of his powers. Later on they realized what an imbalance was, when yin or yang over powers the other in his body and he becomes sick with fever, headache, sinuses, strep, sore muscles, ear infections, and he throws up.
Yugi waits to wake up, knowing the pain that's in store. As he waits for the fighting to end, yin looks over in his direction, points his staff at him and shots. Yugi feels extordinary pain run through him, but only for a second.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Yugi screams as his head launches from his pillow. The room around him starts spinning, and he rushes to the bathroom to throw up. The pain he feels is only felt by few.
" Yugi?" Yugi, what's wrong?" Yami asks. Yugi looks down to see he still has the millennium puzzle around his neck, but then goes back to throwing up, unable to answer Yami's question. Yami lowers to his knees and holds Yugi's bangs.
"It feels like I have a hangover!" Yugi complains, only to throw up one last time. Yami helps him up and then down the stairs to the kitchen. Yugi grabs the "Pain Relief" bottle and takes two pills.
" Yugi?" Yami looks at Yugi with concern. "Are you ok? I mean, you don't look so well." Yugi grabs a bucket from the bathroom and a glass of water from the kitchen. He then looks at Yami.
"It's, sadly, an imbalance, Yami. Remember? I had one three years ago, right before duelist kingdom." Yami just nods his head, showing he understands, and helps Yugi back to his room. Yugi lies down, with Yami's help, and places the bucket at the bed side.
"Are you going to try and go to school?" Yami asks. He still looks worried and protective over Yugi in this state.
"Probably." Yugi answers back.
Every time this happens he goes to school the next day to see how he is. He is not contagece, so it's not a big problem when it comes to worrying about getting people sick. He then fools everyone into thinking he's still the regular Yugi, even if he feels horrible. The only person he can't fool is Tea, but she knows everything already.
"Ok," Yami says back. "But don't be surprised if you see me jump in to help you if it comes to it."
"Thank you Yami." Yugi says as he falls to sleep, tired from the painful night he just had.
Yugi pulls up his pants as he hurries to get ready. Tea could show up at any second to walk with him to school. She always does. He puts his dog collar on and the millennium puzzle around his neck.
"Yugi! Tea's here!" His grampa yells. Yugi grabs his backpack and hurrys out the door.
" Hey Yugi!" Tea says as they meet. " You ready for school?" Yugi nods, and they wave to Yugi's grampa as they head off to school. " So," Tea says as they press the botton for the cross walk. " How are you and Yami. Has he been talkin to you?" We race across the street, nerves about getting hit by a car.
" As a matter of fact," Yugi says, " We talked last night." He picks up the pace to keep up with her and her long legs.
" What was it about?" she asks, slowing down for him.
" I got a'lil sick last night...u know." She nods at his answer, then smiles.
" I knew something was up! You do look a little pale." She stops to look at Yugi as she says this.
" How do you always know?" Yugi asks, laughing. She just starts to walk again and shrugs.
As they reach Winter Avenue, Joey pops out from behind the corner. He waves and walks up to Yugi and Tea. They say their greatings and race to school and make it just in time.
" Ok class," Miss Heatherly says, " Time for your history lesson for today." She continues on with the Revelutionary War, writing facts on the board. Yugi trys to consitrate, but his mind starts to wander.
"Yugi!" Tristan whispers, "Can I look at your notes after you finish your work?" Yugi looks at his note book. Nothing, theres nothing on it. The teacher passes out the work as Yugi quickly writes down the notes. after he finishes his work Tristan takes the notebook and starts writing in his.
" So Yuge? Did you bring any cards or such?" Joey askes. Yugi looks up at him. He forgot his duel monster cards on his dresser. He reaches in his bag and pulles out a pack of regular cards.
" I brought these!" Yugi says back, relieved he had something. "Do you know how to play the game, B.S.?"
"Yugi! You play things like that?" Duke says. Duke walks up to the desk and leans on it and shows he's interested in playing the game.
"Well it's a good game! We'll just have to watch out for the teachers." Yugi answers back. Joey laughs and takes his cards as Yugi passes them out. Yugi looks at his cards and starts to arrange them in order. Suddenly, strain comes and his headaches. He tries to pay attention, but he can't seem to even make out his cards. He sees a flash and then finds he can concentrate again, but something seems different to him. Yami joined souls with him to help!
"Oh! Hey Pharaoh!" Tea says.
"Hey! What have I told you about that?" Yami/Yugi says back.
After the duel between Yugi and Yami, Yami had explained he didn't want to be call "Pharaoh" or "Atem". He wanted to be called Yami. He also wanted his birth certificate to say he was "Yami Atem Muto".
"Sorry, YAMI. What are you doing here?"
"I just decided to come help Yugi. This is still Yugi too so call me Yugi...especially so people don't stare!" Yami/Yugi says back.
"Thanks Yami!" Yugi secretly says to Yami.
"No prob bro!" Yami answers back.
It's almost the end of seventh hour. Yugi is very happy about how the day went. He didn't have as many strainful moments as he usually does.
As he finished his math work he wondered what adventure was next for Yami and him. They went through so much together. Even when Yugi didn't know about Yami, Yami still helped him get his grandpa's soul back from Pegasus. Yugi and Yami then went to battle city, where Yugi helped Yami retrieve the Egyptian Monster cards.
After he gets done with the flash backs of Duelist Kingdom and the Battle City Tournament, he feels a horrible strain and head ache. His throat starts to grow scratchy, and he felt like he was going to vomit. The pounding in his ears drowns out the sounds in the room.
He slowly raises his hand, trying to be casual. "Mrs. Jaskin? May I go to the restroom?" Yugi asks her. Mrs. Jaskin turns and smiles at him.
"Yes, but take your things with you. School will end shortly. You are dismissed, Yugi." she answers.
Yugi picks up his things and walks out of the room. He goes straight to the rest room, puts his stuff outside the stall, and then vomits. Horrible pain shoots through his body, just like in his nightmare, but it lasts longer.
Yugi looks in the toilet to find blood. He panics at the sight. He knew this was bad. Yami pops out and sees it too.
"Oh no, Yugi! We have to get you home!" Right as Yami says this, the bell rings. Yugi then flushes the toilet and picks up his bags. He can still feel a powerful strain.
Yugi walks home with Yami right beside him.
"I don't care if you do feel better tomorrow! I don't want you to go to school! You need to get over what happened today. Yugi," Yami says to him as they walk down Bandler Lane. "I want to help you in anyway I-" But he cuts off to help Yugi who just grabbed a pole for support. The strain increases, and Yugi starts to breath heavily. Yami grabs Yugi and starts to help him walk on, but it's no use. Yugi collapses on the sidewalk, still conscious. Yami takes over Yugi's body and walks Yugi home, still knowing he's going through a lot of pain.
Yami got Yugi into bed and switched their souls back. Yugi, still breathing heavily, tries to say thank you, but Yami stops him with a shush, knowing of the pain he's going through. Yugi starts to moan from the pain, saying that it hurts everywhere.
"I know Yugi," Yami says to Yugi. "I'll help you go get pain medicine."
"But I don't want to get up!" Yugi cries out. Tears begin to leak from his eyes. Yami sees this, reaches out, and hugs Yugi. He then stands Yugi up and helps him go to the kitchen to get so pain medicine. Yugi takes it, but starts to shake uncontrollably. Yami grabs him and takes him back to bed, trying to be gentle. Yami tucks Yugi in and sits on the edge. He watches Yugi closely, very closely.
Yugi's heart starts to race, and panic shoots through him again. Yugi begins to have harder time breathing than before. He doesn't know what to do. Yami comes closer and notices what's wrong. Yami tries to comfort Yugi and calm him down, but it doesn't help a lot. Yugi then fades into sleep and starts to breathe more evenly.
Yami relaxes as Yugi sleeps. He knew something was different about this imbalance, and he knew Yugi thought the same thing.
Yami still remembered the time he used the Oricalcose. The Oricalcose was an evil stone that brought out the anger and evil in people. There was also a card in the game of Duel Monsters for the Oricalcose stone. When on the field, who ever lost the duel would have their soul taken to help raise the Great Labiethin. Yami once had this card and used it out of greed. He then lost the duel but Yugi pushed him so that Yugi's soul would be taken. Yami promised to get him back. Later on Yami came across a girl and her grandfather who helped him to find Yugi's soul and apologize. Yugi only showed anger and challenged Yami to a duel. If Yugi were to win, Yami's soul would be locked away forever, just like Yugi's. Yugi even used the Seal of Oricalcose ( the real name for the Oricalcose card) in the duel. Luckily, Yami became victorious and Yugi told him that, by winning, he concord the darkness in his heart. Yami then went on to defeat the leader of the Oricalcose in a duel and get Yugi back.
Yami looks at Yugi. Yugi wasn't breathing so well now. Yugi starts tossing around in bed, and Yami panics.
Yugi watched yin become over powered by yang. "What's going on!" he thought to himself. Yang was now a lot stronger than yin. "I was right!" Yugi thought again. "This isn't normal!"
Yugi wakes up with a scream, gripping the blanket around him.
"Yugi? Yugi what's wrong?" Yami asks, but before Yugi could answer, the ground shook underneath them. Yugi falls out of bed and stands up, leaning on his bed for support. Yami quickly helps him gain balance on his legs. They both look out the window to see a bright light coming from a new Kaiba Corp. building in the middle of Domino city. Yugi and Yami look at each other, wondering what could be going on.
Yugi starts to walk down stairs to go check it out.
"Yugi, you can't!" Yami says as he tries to stop him gently. "You are in no condition to go-" but Yami gets cut off by a honking car in front of the game shop. Yugi walks to the window, trailed by Yami, to see what's going on outside. They see Dukes car outside and leave to go meet them. There they decide to go to the building and check it out.
"I hope no one's hurt!" Tea says as Duke starts the car. Yugi looks at her, worried as well.
They finally arrive at the Kaiba Corp. building to see it was still in one piece. Joey breaks a window and unlocks a door from the inside. They enter the building, but nothing looked very different.
This wasn't Yugi's first time in the building, but he felt chilled the moment he walked in. He looked at his friends to see they were fine, but something about the building was freaking Yugi out!
Suddenly, the ground starts to shake again. This causes Yugi to collapse to his knees. Everyone else had no problem, but Yugi was a different story. He starts to breath heavily again, but stands himself up. He knows he has the strength to walk on, but Yami's still worried.
As they continue on, Joey and Tristan spot a bright light coming from under a door. They open the door to find a man sitting in a chair with a giant stone behind him.
The man has long orange hair in a braid going down to his feet. His face is long, and he has sapphire-blue eyes. His bangs curl on his face, and freckles cover his checks.
"It's nice to see you all, especially you, Yugi." the man says.
"How do you know my name?" Yugi asks, nerves to know the answer.
"My name is Allblic, and I know a lot about you!" the man says back.
"What do you mean you know a lot about him?" Joey asks.
"I said what I mean," Allblic replies, smiling. "I know about his family, his millennium puzzle, and his powers. Oh, yes! His powers are what have brought me here!"
Yugi shakes his head.
"This is just a bad dream," Yugi thinks to himself. "I just need to wake up!"
"Why do you want Yugi's puzzle?" Tristan shouts, but Allblic just smiles and laughs.
"I don't want his millennium puzzle! That could be thrown to Neptune for all I care!" Allbic shouts back.
Allblic stands up and walks to his right, away from his chair. He presses a button on the wall and says,
"And I know how to get what I really want!"
The stone that was behind the door starts to split, shouting a beam of light at Yugi. The beam doesn't hurt, but Yugi knows it's doing something. Yugi is flung to his left and hits the wall. He looks over to where he was originally standing and sees that Yami was flung to the wall on the right! The beam made them separate!
Yugi sees the room start to spin. His cloth starts to split in color, making his right side black and left side white. His powers start to go nuts and he panics. Everything in the room raises and gets flung around, threatening to hit Joey, Tristan, Tea, Duke, and Yami. Yugi watches as they dodge the objects and head for him, to make sure he's ok.
Seto and Mokuba Kaiba rush in the room. They look over at Yugi and see something weird is going on with him. As they rush to Yugi, Yugi can feel his right eye turn black and left eye turn white.
Yugi is very confused at what's going on till he sees Allblic laughing behind him.
Yugi stands up to leave, but then his powers shout a beam through the roof, making it explode! Yugi then runs out of the room, his friends chancing him.
Yugi runs out of the building and darts through alley ways. His friends call his name but he can't hear them. Yugi just wants to calm down. When he thinks he's far enough he finds a dead end ally way and hinds behind a massive green garbage can. He sits and tries to get himself to stop shaking.
Yugi becomes calm enough to bring his cloths back to normal, but he can't stop shaking.
"Yugi! Yugi? Are you ok?" Yugi hears Yami call.
"Yuge, say something if you can hear us?" Joey shouts.
Yugi wants to say he's ok but can't seem to move or get the words out. Yami's shadow shows on the wall to his left, and he feels relieved. Yami turns to see him and quickly comes to check on Yugi, with Seto and the others behind him. They try to ask him questions but Yugi just fades into unconsciousness.
Yugi wakes up to find himself in his room. Yami sits in a chair next to his bed, watching him. Yugi sits up. Yami feels Yugi's forehead and says,
"You have a fever. You should lie down."
Joey and Seto then walk in with wet towels.
"Yugi, what happened back there? You wrecked my whole building!" Seto exclaimed.
Yugi looks at him, unable to find the words to describe the horrible nightmare he just lived through. Yami stands up and looks at Seto.
"Kaiba! You don't need to yell at the boy! Yugi didn't mean for that to happen! It's all Allblic's fault!" Yami yells back.
Kaiba just looks and him and smirks.
"Ok," Kaiba says. "I won't blame him, but I do want an explanation. I at least deserve that much!" Kaiba places the wet rag on Yugi's bed stand. "So," Kaiba continues, "Where's my answer?"
Yugi thinks some more. He feels tension coming from Kaiba, and this begins to make Yugi nerves.
"S-something m-made my powers go out of c-control." Yugi struggles to say.
"What powers?" Joey asks. "The millennium puzzle you mean?"
"N-no," Yugi continues. He looks up at Yami and says, "Powers I've h-had for a long time. I d-don't use them very m-much anymore. I haven't u-used them, really, f-for four years. Well, at l-least till now, y-you could say." Yugi finishes.
The room then starts to spin and he starts to fall off the bed. Yami rushes to catch him and lays him down.
"Yugi, you need sleep," Yami says. "You don't look so well. Please rest," Yami then looks at Kaiba and says, "If you have any more questions ask me or Tea. We know a lot about what's going on with Yugi. That goes for you too, Joey. Yugi needs rest."
"Why didn't tell us?" Joey asks. "Why do only you and Tea know?"
"Yugi once had friends he trusted, and he told them everything. They stopped talking to him and claimed he was a monster." Yami explains. "Tea learned the harder way, like you all are, but didn't turn her back on Yugi. Tea stopped hanging' out with the people who walked out on Yugi because she knew he wasn't a monster," Yami finishes explaining and sits back down. "Thank you both for the towels. I'll be down in a moment to explain this to the others."
As Kaiba and Joey leave the room, Yugi looks up at Yami.
"Yami, I don't think we have seen the last of Allblic." Yugi says to Yami.
"Neither do I," Yami says back. "In fact, I'm almost sure of it!"
Yami walks down the stairs to find Tristan, Joey, Tea, Yugi's grandpa, Kaiba, Mokuba, and Duke in the living room. He enters and everyone looks up from the TV that showed the news of the horrible incident. Yami walks over and turns off the TV and faces everyone.
"Ok," Yami says, skimming his eyes over the room.
"Who wants an explanation, or did Tea already do that?"
"No, Yami," Tea says back. "I was waiting for you. You know... you may know more than me." Yami nods at this and moves to the empty seat beside her. Yami can feel her nerves and the confusion around the room. Yugi's grandpa didn't seem so confused like they others, and Yami was grateful.
"What happened today was hard on Yugi," Yami explains. "He never wanted this to happen. When he was two years old, he showed the signs of the power of opposites. His family called this yin and yang because his cloths split in color. His right became black and his left turned white. Yugi is called the Yin-Yang Magician. Well, growing up he realized his powers had other forms. His cloths could change all white, turning him into the yang magician, and he could make things appear and disappear. He also could make his cloths change into black, turning him the yin magician. With this he could make things catch fire and/or explode. Yang is about strategies and yin is about power." Yami looks at Tea.
"Yugi hasn't used his powers since he was nine," Tea says. "When Yugi was in second grade, he told our friends and they turned on him. They yelled at him, calling a monster." Tea sighs.
"So what's going on now?" Duke asks. "Do we have a plan? Allblic doesn't look like the kind to give up so easily! I mean...he didn't even actually lose!"
"I'm not sure, but Rebecca and her grandfather are coming here. They are coming to check out what happened. Although I didn't tell them anything on the phone, they believe Yugi is somehow involved." Yugi's grandfather informs them.
"Yami!" Yugi screams from upstairs. Yugi panics as a rock falls to the floor. The rock had just shattered the window.
Yami runs through the door to see glass everywhere. Yami runs to Yugi while Joey, who followed Yami, picks up the rock.
"Hey there's a note attached to the rock!" Joey exclaims. Duke runs in the room and shows it to Duke.
" 'I'll give you a week to run.' -Allblic' !" says Duke, reading the note.
"So what do we do?" asks Tristan, who came in the room with Tea and Yugi's grandpa just in time to hear what's on the note.
"I don't know," Yami says as he sits next to Yugi. "Wait till Rebecca and Dr. Hopkins comes tomorrow and head out?" Yami looks over at Yugi. "What do you think Yugi?"
"Th-that sounds g-good to me!" Yugi says.
Yugi and Yami stay in the room as the others leave. Yugi looks at Yami, not wanting to tell him how scared he is. Yugi knows Yami's already worried enough. Yugi feels Yami squiz his hand, and Yami looks at him.
"It's ok to be scared," Yami says to Yugi. "We have been through tuff things before. I'll help you Yugi. Everything's going to be fine, ok bro?"
Yugi looks up at him and smiles, letting a tear leak from his eyes.
"Thanks Yami." Yugi says.
"Ok. Now go to bed, K?"
Yugi nods and watches Yami leave the room. He lies down and looks at the ceiling. "I'm putting all my friends in danger again!" Yugi thinks to himself. All the times his friends tagged along he was nerves. This time was no different. Well, except this time someone is after Yugi instead of Yami.
Yami, Joey, Tristan, and Duke walk up stairs with blankets to make pallets.
Kaiba left at around 10 o'clock with Mokuba. He didn't want to get involved.
Duke and Tristan start the pallets while Yami and Joey shut the door and check on Yugi.
"Yep," Joey says. "Yuge's out like a light."
Yami and Joey help with the pallets, and everyone sits down.
"Yami," Joey says. "Do you want to have a friendly duel? You know... to take our minds off of things?"
"It's worth a try." Yami says. He pulls out a deck from the gold puzzle box that once held the pieces to the millennium puzzle.
Yugi wakes up to find Yami, Joey, Tristan, and Duke asleep on pallets. He tries to stand up but has to grab on to his bed-stand for support. His clock reads 10 o'clock, and he's surprised everyone's still asleep.
"Yugi!" Yugi hears from down stairs. Rebecca and her grandfather are here.
Yugi slowly walks down stairs, careful not to fall. Yami, Joey, Tristan, and Duke where still upstairs, sleeping.
"Yugi!" Rebecca shouts. She runs up to him and hugs him, or more like squeezes him!
"Owwwwwwwww!" Yugi yelps. Rebecca doesn't let go or soften up. Yugi was already very sore, but this just made it worse!
"Yugi, I missed you soooooo much!" Rebecca says.
"Rebecca," Yugi says. "Please let go. You're hurting me!"
"Rebecca!" Professor Hopkins (Rebecca's grandfather) says. "Let go of the poor boy! He's been through enough!"
Rebecca lets go of Yugi, and he falls to the floor. He lies there, trying to catch his breath.
Yami and the others walk down the steps to see Yugi on the ground.
"Yugi?" Yami says, confused.
"I was just squeezed by Rebecca," Yugi says to Yami. "Nothing new."
Yami helps Yugi up and lets Yugi lean on him for support.
"Wait!" Rebecca says looking from Yami to Yugi. "I thought you were going to wait till Yugi was 18 to separate!"
"We were and are," Yugi says. "It all depends on if this can be redone. You see, this all happened out of nowhere-" Yugi gets cut off by Professor Hopkins.
"Rebecca! Stop asking Yugi so many questions! Can't you see he can barely stand?" Professor Hopkins says.
"Sorry Grandpa," Rebecca says. "Sorry Yugi. Are you ok?"
"I'm fine," Yugi says with a smile. "I'm in one piece, aren't I?"
"Well, that's good. How long will that last? I mean, does anyone remember last night?" Duke says, frantically. "We need to get out of here as soon as possible!"
"Yugi's grandfather and I have already figured that out," Professor Hopkins says. "We think you should all fly to California. There you can use my RV to keep on the move."
"That sounds like a plan to me!" Tristan says. "What do you think Yugi?"
"It's sounds really good." Yugi says. He takes a long breath and looks up at Yami.
"Tea, Yami, Joey? What do you think?" Duke asks. Tea, Yami, and Joey just nod and smile.
"Ok, then it's settled! You leave in two hours!" Professor Hopkins says. "Oh and don't worry! We already called your parents!"
"Two hours?" Tea says. "Wow! Talk about 'short notice'!"
Duke, Joey, Tea, and Tristan all go home to pack. Yugi and Yami stay home with Yugi's grandfather, Professor Hopkins, and Rebecca and pack.
"Ok," Yugi says. "How are we going to do this?" They look at the two duffle bags on the bed.
"Well, we should change from these pjs first." Yami says, turning to give Yugi privacy. "Although, I don't remember even putting these on."
Yugi takes off his shirt, and Yami's disappears. Yugi looks at Yami.
"Wow...This just turned easier!" Yugi says with a laugh.
They change from their pjs into something more suitable, and they begin packing only one duffle bag.
An hour and a half went by, and everyone was back and stuffing things in the back of Duke's car.
"We'll go with you and bring your car back here when you leave." Professor Hopkins says.
"Thanks, Professor." Duke says back.
Yami, Yugi, and Joey sit in the back while Tea goes in the other car with Rebecca, Yugi's grandfather, and the Professor. Tristan jumps up front with Duke, and they all start off to the airport.
