((Yami to Yugi))
(Yugi to Yami)
Yugi's POV
They don't remember who I am anymore; to them I am just the pharaoh's light, his property. My friends the ones I risked my life for don't even acknowledge that we are two different people, even now that yami has his own body. Why should they, Yami is everything I'm not. I'm just .. you know I'm not even sure what I am anymore. I thought I proved that I was just as capable as yami, In Battle City during the duel with bandit Keith, the duel with Joey, I duelled not Yami, and what about duellist island I nearly died in that last duel. But that doesn't seem to matter to them; I'm just the pharaoh's light.
Normal POV
Yugi watched his friends laughing and talking, not even noticing he wasn't there. As normal Yami was sitting in the middle, holding court. They looked so much alike and yet were so different. They had the same tri-colored blonde, black, and hair but the blonde was more prominent on the Yami's head. Yami was a head taller and he had deep, hypnotic crimson eyes. While Yugi had the purest lavender, that reflected every inch of his kind and innocent nature. Yugi was so happy that Yami fitted in so easily to his new life, and his friends had accepted him so easily. But recently had began to feel left out and was wondering who he was and how he fit into things now that he wasn't Yami's vessel.
((Aibou, we are going to the arcade after school, do you want to come))
Yami voice flittered through his thoughts making Yugi feel guilty, hope shot through his heart maybe they hadn't forgotten him after all, suddenly he remember all the homework he had and silently groaned.
(Not today Yami, I have to much homework to do)
Before Yami could reply he closed down the mental link and with one last look and his friends he turned and walked away. If he had stayed one more second, he would have seen the look of sadness that past his Yami's face and he stared at the spot where Yugi had stood.
*************
Yugi never meant to run away that day, but as he was staggering home with a huge pile of books, he pasted the arcade, were he saw all his friends hanging out and having a good time, still not noticing he wasn't there. With a wistful expression, he continued on alone.
YAMI POV
I watch as Joey throws his cards down in mock anger, as I reduce his life points to zero. He really has come a long way, from when I first met him. A wave of sadness comes through the link with my light, instantly I'm on my feet and shouting through the link, I will mind crush whoever has caused my light this much pain.
((AIBOU))
He doesn't respond but the sadness slowly vanishes. What is wrong with my light, he has been acting very strangely these past few weeks. He doesn't sit or talk to his friends as much as he used to, he doesn't even talk to me like he use to. I often find him in our room staring out the window with a look of sadness on his angelic face. When I ask him what is wrong he tells me nothing a gives me a smile that doesn't reach his eyes. Doesn't he know how much it hurts when he lies to me, he means everything to me, and I will do anything for him, suddenly filled with resolve I decided to get to the bottom of his, one way or another. The others are looking at me with concern written all over their faces as I spring from the duelling deck and head towards the exit, But before I can reach it in walks Kaiba.
" Move Kaiba " my voice comes out in a growl, his eyes flash and his usual sneer becomes more pronounced.
" I want a duel "
***********
Normal POV
By this time Yugi had reached home, and was staring out the window, random events from the last couple of weeks running through his head, his friends calling and not even taking the time to talk to him before asking for Yami, the sounds of laughter drifting up from downstairs as sat at his desk alone. He didn't even realise he had left the window until he zipped up his backpack filled with his most precious items, glancing up he stared into the mirror noticing the puzzle around his neck, with one hand he pulled the puzzle from his neck and gently placed it one the desk, a single tear splashing down on the puzzle.
YAMI POV
I am just about the reply to Kaiba's challenge when panic like I have never felt fills me as my link with my light is severed
