OOC-ness throught this WHOLE story!!!!
^_^
Ok people let's get this story started! First things first. I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh or -Here With Me- by Michelle Branch. PLEASE DON'T SUE! This is my first Yu-Gi-Oh fic and on top of that this is also my first Yaoi and songfic. A triple bonus! Don't flame me. Flames will be used to roast marshmellos!

Ok, here's a key.
"Speech"
-thoughts or flashbacks-
*~Lyrics~*
//Yami to Yugi//
/Yugi to Yami/
Let's get somethings straight. This takes place when Yugi is 17. He's grown alittle (miricle isn't it). He's still a few inches shorter than Yami. This is ALL in third person veiw. I'm not too good at 1st.
If you don't like any of the changes to Yugi's personality don't read the story and don't flame me. He's still innocent just not as much so.
This song may not make sense for the first chapter. It'll make sense when chapter 2 is out.
Ok on with the story!

I Died a Little
Chapter 1
By: MidnightSky
*~It's been a long long time since I looked into the mirror
I guess that I was blind now my reflection's getting clearer~*
Yami looked at his reflection and smiled sadly. Glancing over to the wall he noted that is was exactly 9 months since Yugi ran away. It was his fault too. He turned away from the sad face staring back at him and walked out of his room to go help Grandpa with setting the shop up. It was now his daily rutine and has been for a long while.
*~Now that your gone things will never be the same again
There's not a minute that goes by every hour of every day~*
Grandpa smiled softly as the young man entered the room. He didn't expect a hello or anything like that. Niether of them talked much anymore. There wasn't any reason to. The door opened with a ringing from the bell attached to it and in came Joey along with Ryou. Joey looked happier than unsual which was pretty happy seems how everyone (except Tea ) had been pretty upset at Yugi's running away.
"Hey Gramps, Yami. I just came by to tell you that Yugi's back. He was just at my house. Before that he was at Ryou's talkin to Bakura for some reason."
Yami and Grandpa stopped working the very same second he said Yugi was back. Yami's eyes seemed to gather a small bit of life and Grandpa smiled the frst true smile in months.
*~You're such a part of me but I just pulled away~*
A few hours past and everybody ( except Tea ) had gathered at Yugi's house waiting for him to return home. Yami had been pacing around the living room nervous when a hand was placed on his shoulder. He looked up and smiled.
"Chill out Yami. He'll come home. I'm sure of it." Tristen looked as nervous as he was but he controlled it. Joey looked at the clock as it struck 3:30.
"I wonder whats takin so long. I mean he seemed eager to be back."
Ryou stood up. "Maybe we should wait outside. Yami, what do you think?"
"You guys go. I'll be out in a few."
5 people moved out of the house quickly and stood beside the door. Seto shook his head as he thought about how Yami was acting.
"Guys, do you really have any idea why Yugi left?"
"None at all. He just called me and told me he was leaving and didn't know when he would be back."
"Figures. The puppy never knows anything."
"Watch it Kaiba."
As they began their usual argument a red car was slowing down, ready to park in front of the game shop. They stopped arguing as a young man stepped out of the car. He had black and red spiky hair with blond bangs. He was wearing a red tanktop and a pair of flare legged black leather pants. His eyes were violet and he was...
"YUGI!!!" The whole group pounced on him as he stepped onto the sidewalk. Yugi hugged all of his friends and started to cry as he kneeled down to hug Grandpa.
"Oh I'm so sorry for leaving. I just couldn't take it anymore." His Grandpa rubbed his back as he cried on his shoulder. The rest of the group stood smiling and left them alone until Yugi stopped crying. He stood up and wiped his eyes as he smiled. Upstairs in his room, Yami stood looking down at the scene. -I bet he hates me now. There's only one way to find out.- He grabbed the Millenium Puzzle off of the desk and carried it down the stairs with him as he readied himself to see his other half. His Light.
*~Well I'm not the same girl (A/N: guy ) you used to know
I wish I said the words I never showed~*
Yugi and the others began to talk and Joey asked him about the car.
"Hey Yug, where did you get this beauty?"
The car was a new red convertable with a black inside.
"I bought it."
"How did you get the money!?"
Yugi laughed, "I got a job along with school. I worked as a Duel Monsters trainer. I can't believe it. I found people with skills that are worst than yours."
Joey growled as the others laughed. They all stopped laughing when Yami opened and stood in the doorway.
"Yami...," Yugi whispered as his eyes fell onto the Puzzle. Tears dripped from both men's eyes as Yugi ran over to Yami and pulled him into a strong hug.
"Yugi....I'm sorry I caused you to leave. You didn't give me a chance to say anything."
"I'm sorry for running out on you and Grandpa." Yami held out the Puzzle and Yugi took it quickly and placed it around his neck. He opened his end of the link and focoused on the emotions coming from Yami.
"Yami, is that what you think? I could never hate you." Yami smiled as he felt Love and Happiness flooded from Yugi's end of the link.
//I think we need to talk about what happened.//
/I do too./
"Uh, hey Earth to the Puzzle Boys! Are you two in there?" Tristen knocked on their heads a few times until they blinked themselves back to reality.
"Sorry. I guees I have to teach myself how to talk with you and Yami at the same time again."
"It's ok Yug. But would you two mind explaining some things to us? Like why you left?"
"Not now Joey. I need to figure it out myself."
*~I know you had to go away I died just a little
And I feel it now your the one I need~*
They all walked into the house and started to talk. Yugi filled in and got filled in on things that had happened while he was gone.
"And that's it. We've been together since."
"I leave for 9 months and Bakura becomes a softy for Ryou! How cute!"
Bakura emerged from the Millenium Ring with a growl.
"Watch it shorty."
"I'm not that short any more Bakura. Chill out."
Yami had been silent the whole time. Not really listening to what anyone had to say. He only would mildly listen when Yugi spoke of something of importance.
"So Yugi. This job you took. Did it improve your skills at dueling?"
"Yeah. I had some pretty tough students."
"Then why did they come to you for training?"
"Because they heard I was in some way related to the Great Game King himself. Yami, you have no idea how much these duelists worship you." Yugi smiled and turned to Yami but that smile soon turned into a frown. Yami had gotton up and left.
"Guys? Where did Yami go?"
They looked around and shook their heads.
"The Pharoah went to his room." Bakura pointed upstairs with his index finger.
*~I believe that I would cry just a little
Just to have you back now here with me here with me~*
I wonder what's wrong with Yami. He excused himself and went upstairs. He walked down the hallway and stopped in front of Yami's room.
"Yami?"
"What?!"
His answer was snapped nastily.
"Open the door. I want to talk to you."
"Go away. I don't want to talk about it now."
"Yami...now."
Yami didn't reply. The others had walked up behind him to see what was up with the Dark spirit.
"Yami, I'm opening the door."
A soft glow emitted from his hand and Puzzle. The glowing shifted after Yugi said a small incantation and went onto the door. It unlocked easily and flew open. Ryou and Bakura clapped as the others gaped.
"You think working and school was all I did. Your wrong. I was being trained by Bakura on how to use my powers from the Puzzle. Thats why I went to see him today and countless oth times. Now I want to know something: what is the matter Yami? I figured you'd be happy to see me. It doesn't seem that way. Maybe I should leave again without explaining to you why I left the first time."
Yami stood from his bed. "Why did you leaveYugi? You tell me something important and leave without giving me a chance to respond."
"I had to Yami. I knew I wouldn't be able to handle what you would say."
/Yami, I came back to apologize. I'm sorry for what happened that day but I couldn't handle your rejection./
"Rejection? You never even gave me an opportunity to speak. What would make you think I would push you away?"
*~You know that silence is loud
When all you hear is your heart~*
"I knew it because of the walls you put around you. You were so distant. I remember times when we would talk until dawn, but that changed.You didn't come out of the Puzzle hardly. The only time you came out was when I needed help with a duel."
"I only built the walls to protect you."
"PROTECT ME?! All they did was make me feel alone, and that you didn't want or need me anymore."
*~And I wanted so badly just to be a part
Of something strong and true~*
Joey and the others listened as the two threw remarks back and forth. All they could understand was that Yugi had told Yami something important and out of fear of rejection he left. He had a fear of being rejected because Yami didn't pay attention to Yugi anymore.
"Could Yugi have told Yami he loved him? I mean it was quite obvious that he did," Joey whispered as Yugi and Yami fought.
"Stop it! I'm tired of fighting like this. I want to know why you are up here Yami."
"I came up here beacuse I was upset. OK? It seems like you were VERY happy to leave. You wanna know something? I was so worried about you, there would be nights where I would stay out just searching for you, hoping to bring you back."
*~But I was scared and left it all behind~*
"I didn't think you would care. Nobody seemed to while I was here."
Tristen jumped into the argument before Yugi could say anything more. "Hey buddy, you mind telling us the whole story? We don't quite fully understand what happend."
"Sorry. Yeah I'll tell you. Come with me."
He led them downstairs and onto the couch where he began his story.
As Yugi told them what happened it all seemed to flash in his mind.
Flashback
Yugi made his way home from school alone. He had been attempting to talk to Yami, who was inside the Puzzle at the time, but to no avail. He had the door to his soul room locked and his end of the link shut. He had been doing that alot lately and he wouldn't hardly talk to Yugi anymore. Yugi was starting to get annoyed with his other half's behavior. He opened the door to the Game Shop and made his way inside and up to his room. Being annoyed and upset he began a silent battle within himself.
'Should I tell him? Will he hate me? Most likely. It seems like he doesn't want to be around me anymore.'
After telling himself that he began to pack all of his things that he would need to get away. Before he finished packing he went downstairs, smiling at Grandpa, and went into the living room. He picked up the phone and dialed Joey's number.
It ringed a few times before Joey picked up the phone.
"Hello?''
"Hey Joey. It's Yugi."
"Oh hey Yug! What's up?"
"Nothing. I just called to say I'm leaving. I don't know when I'll be back. Do me a favor. Tell the school I dropped out."
"Wha? Huh? What are you talkin 'bout Yug?"
"I have to go now Joey. Thanks. I'll explain if and when I come back."
"But Yugi..."
He was cut short as the phone was hung up.
Yugi sighed as he made his way back upstairs. He finished packing and sat down at his desk to write his grandpa a note.
Grandpa,
Please don't worry. I'll be fine on my own. I'll explain. I have to leave for a while. I can't sit here any longer. I'm not taking the Puzzle so take good care of it and Yami for me. I won't be gone forever. I promise I'll be back when I feel I'm ready. If anything bad happens to Yami or you call Ryou and ask Bakura to tell me. I'll be keeping in touch with him. I don't think he'll tell you where I am so don't try to get it out of him. I love you and I'll be back when I'm ready.
Yugi
He folded it and laid it down onto his bed. He looked and decided he had everything before he called Yami out of the Puzzle.
/Yami, I need to talk to you. I'm sure you can hear me./
//What is it Yugi?//
/Come out here. This is important./
//Ok.//
In a small flash of light Yami emerged and stood before Yugi. Yugi pulled the necklace off of his neck gently and placed into Yami's hands.
"Yugi? What are you doing?"
"I want to tell you something Yami. But I don't think I can handle it if you told me you hated me so I'm leaving after this."
"What? Why?"
"Yami, I'm in love with you. I've loved you for the longest time now. I know you don't think of me in that way but please don't let this affect our friendship. Good bye Yami."
He turned and picked up his bags leaving a very shocked former Pharaoh standing there holding the Puzzle.
End Flashback
The others sat there looking at Yugi stunned. Grandpa was the first to speak.
"Yugi? Why didn't you tell anyone else?"
"I did. I told Bakura."
"Why him?"
"Because he was training me on how to use my puzzle. I figured it was time to tell him the reason why I never could stay long or let Ryou know I was there."
"Yami? WHY didn't you go AFTER him?!"
"I was to shocked to move."
/Yami, I want to talk to you later on./
//Ok.//
The group of friends sat and talked a while, avoiding the subject of Yugi and why he left.
By the time everyone was ready to leave Seto and Joey were fighting again and Ryou had fallen asleep on Bakura's lap. Yugi hugged and waved to his friends as each of them left.
*~I know you had to go away I died just a little
And I feel it now your the one I need~*
Yami helped a now very quiet Yugi clean up the living room. Grandpa had already went to bed, leaving the two alone to talk.
"So do you hate me Yami?"
"Why do you keep asking me that? Here I'll show you I don't hate you."
He opened up his end of their link and poured his emotions. They were of joy and happiness and a brotherly love. Yugi saddened at this.
"Yugi? What's wrong?"
"Yami, I wanted to say something."
"Go on."
"Yami, I still love you like I did the day I left. I only came back because I wanted to see how you felt about it."
Yami stopped working and smiled softly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
