CHAPTER 1:

A soul lost in shadows….a heart trapped in ice….dig, dig, dig…free the heart, and be found…

A shrill sound ripped its way into the peaceful silence of sleep. The darkness faded away and was replaced by light... bright light... blinding light.

Crimson orbs opened slightly, but shut again quickly, and a quiet hiss at the presence of the sunlight could be heard. The angry teen pulled the sheets over his head, but left one arm out to grab the source of the irritating sound...a small but loud alarm clock which sat on his bedside table. With a rather powerful thrust, he threw the alarm at the ground, silencing it for good, though it had caused a rather loud crash on impact, for which he soon regretted as an angry tone came from down the hall.

"Yami! If you just broke ANOTHER alarm, you'll be buying the next one!"

The teen rolled around under his sheets.

"And don't you dare fall back asleep! I'm not making anymore excuses for you being late!"

Another hiss was heard, before the teen finally forced himself to sit up.

Spiky, tri-coloured hair crowned the boy's head. Usually it was dead neat, but right now it was in rather a large mess from being slept on, his dreams had been restless again...

Sharp, ruby eyes attempted to open, but to little prevail. He rubbed them to remove any sleep dust. When this didn't work he simply gave in and kept them closed as his mind wandered over the dream that had plagued him for so long. It was the first time he'd had it for awhile now though, he sighed, realizing he obviously wasn't fully over it.

"Yami are you up yet!? I've got the icy water ready if your not!"

That was it. The boy's eyes flashed open; his entire body left the bed and dashed to the bedroom door. Cursing as he stepped on the fallen alarm clock, his hand grabbed the door handle & clicked the lock shut.

Laughing could be heard from down the hall.

"Grandpa says downstairs for breakfast in ten minutes! Seeya in a bit Yami!"

Grasping his sore foot, Yami crumbled to the floor, one hand still on the door handle. He grumbled at the laughing of his hikari. It was good natured, yes, but Yami was NOT a morning person, where as his little hikari, Yugi was. He always seemed on a sugar high at this time of day, but maybe that was just because he liked mornings.

However ...Yami thought...Yugi was no way as sweet and innocent as he appeared, as Yami knew for a fact he would have gone through with the icy water threat if the taller boy had been any slower getting out of bed. Yami shuddered alittle at the memory of the one time he'd chosen to ignore that threat, before shaking his head, and slowly standing straight. He wandered over to the closet and reluctantly opened it, staring in at the uniform he'd begun to loath.

****

Yami walked down the stairs to the kitchen, he was now wearing his school uniform with the jacket left unbuttoned. His hair had resumed its neatly spiked shape, his face was washed and his eyes finally opened. Unfortunately his voice seemed to have descided it wanted to sleep in alittle longer.

"Morning sleepy head!" Yugi called from the table, where he & his grandpa were already seated. Yami just waved and grunted in return as he took his seat.

"You boys better hurry up, I'd hate to have your teachers phoning up asking why you're late again" Solomon stated whilst opening up a newspaper.

"Oh and grandpa, I have a feeling Yami needs ANOTHER alarm clock." Yugi said, giving Yami a frown.

"ANOTHER ONE!? I'm afraid that's coming out of his own money!" Solomon yelled.

Yami smirked at how alike Yugi & his grandpa thought.

It didn't last though. Yami's thoughts quickly returned to the dream he'd had in the night. So many times he'd had it, and so many times he'd thought he was over it, but then it would suddenly come back to surprise him. Why did he still have it? Sure, the memory it had grown from was an unpleasant one, but surely he should be over it by now...

Yami was roused from his thoughts by a nug to his arm.

"Yamikun, daijoubu?" Yugi asked, his large, amethyst eyes showing their famous look of concern.

"Hai, I'm fine Yugi." Yami replied, forcing his voice to join him in the world of the awake.

He knew Yugi hadn't fully believed him, and took a mouthful of orange juice in order to look away from his hikari.

****

"YAMI!!"

Yami's arm felt like it had been yanked from its socket as Yugi pulled him back onto the curve after he had aimlessly wandered onto the road. There was a screeching of tires, and then the furious honking of a car horn as the car that had nearly run into Yami drove off, random cursing about reckless teenagers could be heard from it.

"Yami! That's the second time you've wandered off the curve since we left home!" Yugi scolded.

"I'm sorry Yugi, my mind was just...preoccupied..." Yami replied quickly.

He made to continue down the path, until he felt a small hand grasp the sleeve of his jacket.

He turned to see Yugi, that concerned look had returned to his ever so cute eyes.

"You had that dream again...didn't you?..." Yugi said, barely above a whisper.

Yami turned fully around to stare at his Hikari, his crimson eyes lit up in surprise. "How did you...?"

"You may not be a morning person yami, but you're always with it by the time we leave the house. The only times your not is when you have that dream. I think the fact that you've chosen to walk on the road instead of the path twice in one morning is a sign that something big is one your mind." Yugi answered with a slight sterness that would have been cute in a different situation.

Yami looked away in guilt. He hated making his hikari worry.

"Yami..."

Oh no...Not that voice...not that soft, anxious voice. Yami was sure he used it purposely.

"I thought you said you were over it..."

"I thought I was, aibou...I know I've said that many times, but this time I was really sure I was. It must be nearly half a year since I had that dream last, I have no idea why it suddenly came back this morning." Yami answered, unable to look his hikari in the eyes.

"Yami...do you want to talk about it?" Yugi asked.

"Aibou, please, I..."

Yami's heart froze over as an enormous chill shot down his spine, a loud gasp excaping his mouth.

"No...."

"Yami? wha..."

Yugi gave a small squeal as he was quickly pulled back down the street and thrown against the wall around the corner. After recovering from his shock, he looked up at Yami, standing beside him, the taller teen's eyes were alight with a rare emotion...fear.

'It can't be...not here...I thought he was gone...' Yami thought.

Shadows started to appear in his mind, leaving his vision in darkness, and his hearing in silence, causing him to gasp loudly.

He'd been seen.

An almost silent chuckle filled Yami's mind, filling him with dread, before the shadows slowly began to vanish. The coldness that had been threatening to engulf him disappeared, and the chuckle was replaced by an urgent crying of his name.

" Yami! Yami! YAMI!!"

The world suddenly reappeared in front of Yami's eyes. He looked up to see a pair of amethyst orbs gazing at him in fear, and realized he had ended up sitting against the wall.

"Yami! was it...was it...?" Yugi stuttered.

Yami was breathing hard, but pulled himself to his feet once more.

"Yes."

He heard Yugi gasped, and cursed his inability to be dishonest to his hikari.

" Was...was he close?"

"yes, but, I don't know where he was. But, he saw me. Luckily, he decided to leave."

Yami's heart still felt cold. This explained everything...

"At least I now know why I had that dream again, it always occurred more when he was around..."

"Yami? do you, want to go home?"

Yami looked down at his Hikari.

" I can tell the teachers you didn't feel well." Yugi suggested.

Determined to calm his Hikari, Yami suddenly smirked.

"Oh? What happened to not making anymore excuses for me?"

Thats it, Yami saw him trying not to pout.

"This is different! This isn't just because your too lazy to get up!"

Yami's smirk turned into a grin at yugi's comment, since he knew just how true it was!

He looked Yugi straight in the eyes, never loosing his grin. He knew his Hikari couldn't keep such a serious attitude for long. And he was right. The tiniest smile appeared on Yugi's face as he tried to avoid laughing, but it couldn't be helped. Both teenagers quickly broke into laughter, before Yami gently placed his hand on his Hikari's shoulder, and led him back around the corner towards school.

"Oh man, you've been slacking Jou..."

"Like your doing any better!?"

"Why don't you just give up already man? save yourself some embarrassment."

"Heh, in a few moments your gonna be eating your own words!"

Yami listened absently to two of his friends, Katsuya Jounichi, and Honda Hiroto as they had one of their usual morning competitions. They always had some kind of fight before class started, ranging from things like arm wrestles, spit ball fights and even staring contests.

Yami Paid a glance around at them. It was an arm wrestle today, and it seemed Honda had the advantage this time.

He looked back around just in time to hear a cry of defeat from Jounichi as Honda pined his arm to the table.

" Ha! and the score is Honda 1, Jou 0!" Honda stated aloud.

"Grrr...you got lucky!!" Jou yelled, cradling his arm.

"Whatever you say man, but I still expect that candy bar at lunch." Honda retorted.

Yami rolled his eyes secretly. The things those two fought over were ridiculous sometimes.

He turned his head at the sound of the class door sliding open. A young male wandered in, causing many of the girls present to begin whispering excitedly. His skin was lightly tanned, his thick, shoulder length hair a dirty blonde. But in Yami's opinion, his eyes were his best feature. They were sharply shaped, much like yami's own, but there was a distinct softness in them, which matched well with the small smile on his face, and yami was quite fond of the light purple that shone inside each orb. The whole package still always caught his attention, and on the rare occasion, caused him to blush.

Yes, it was true, Yami was fond of guys. Sure he didn't flaunt the fact, but surely it was more obvious than people seemed to realize. As far as he could tell, Yugi & Jou were the only ones who knew.

He returned the wave that the other Egyptian boy sent him, then watched as he moved closer to Jou and Honda.

"Hi Guys."

" Hey Malik, how's it hangin'?" Jou smiled around at the boy.

"Fine, yourselves?" Malik replied gently.

Yami looked around further at the sound of his voice.

"Great." Jounichi replied.

"Yeah, so great you just lost pathetically at an arm wrestle." Honda teased.

"Shut up!"

The two resumed their argument. Yami watched as Malik slipped quietly away to his desk by the wall, three seats away from Jou. Though his expression didn't falter, Yami could see the disappointment he clearly was trying to hide. He felt a twinge of pity for the boy, Jou seemed completely blind to Malik, but then so did most people. Infact, most people seemed blind to just how many people swung in Yami's direction. While the boys were just plain ignorant, the girls were too busy swooning over the school's 'collection' of attractive males. There was a rather big list, and much to Yami's dismay, he sat on top of the list, with only one rival, another boy by the name of Seto Kaiba.

Girls just couldn't seem to decide which they liked better, it was like they were some ultimate prize to be won.

Yami shuddered at the thought.

He turned as the door slid open again. A tall, thin boy with long, fierce white hair strode in.

This time the girls gasped, for although this boy was on the 'list', he was one to be wary of.

His sharp, brown eyes shone dangerously, more so than usual, Yami noted.

The teenager wandered past the still arguing Jou & Honda. He seemed to pick the path to his desk very carefully, Yami noticed, and he was quickly proven right when there came a cry of pain from Jounichi. The other boy had kicked him in the back of the leg as he went past.

"YYOOOOWWW!! watch it Bakura!!" Jounichi threatened the white haired boy, although his constant hopping about holding his sore leg certainly didn't make the situation seem very dangerous.

Bakura's only response was to glare angrily around at him, before moving over to his seat.

There were five rows of seats, and seven columns. On the right by the window, Bakura sat in the first column in the fourth row. Yami sat it the third column in the first row. He wasn't sure why he sat at the front when he was rarely interested in learning. He looked around.

Jounichi sat in the third column in the fourth row. Honda in the sixth column in the last row. Yami grinned, Honda & Jou had sat together until the teacher had separated them. In the seventh column, by the wall, Malik sat in the third row.

Yami looked back around at Bakura, who was staring out the window, before putting his hands behind his head and leaning back in his chair. If Bakura was here, that meant his hikari, Ryou was as well. Like Yami & Yugi, Bakura & Ryou were light & dark, and looked extremely alike, but those two were like water & oil towards one another. Ryou had probably met up with Yugi and gone to English with him.

Both were in a higher English class than most of their friends, only Anzu joined them in the same classroom.

Yami's thoughts were interrupted by the loud ring of a bell, signaling the start of class. The teacher promptly walked in, immediately telling Jou & Honda off for not being seated. They quickly obliged, and Yami forced himself to sit up properly, exhaling deeply.

Another long, drowsy day had begun.

I hope this first chapter went alright....sorry for the lack of excitement, I am currently working on chapter 2, which will hopefully be more exciting....thankyou if you read all this way.

reviews would be nice...but please don't feel obligated.
