Summary: Atem isn't really who Yugi thinks he is, in fact, he's a lot more dangerous. Can someone stop him before the last of his light is gone!
Warnings: Some AU, cursing in later chapters, violence and gore fits somewhere in later chappies too. Well, some gore in this one. OOC-ness too I think.
"Blah"regular talk.
'Blah'Thinking.
"Blah" mind-link talk.
Hydro: Helllooooo! And Welcome to my very first fic! Yay! I'm so exited! I'm your beloved host: Hydro!
Shadow Atem: Ahem….taps foot impatiently
Hydro: And my grumpy, loveable partner in crime: Shadow Atem!
SA: That's better. Wait a minute! I'm not grumpy!
Hydro: Eh…Anyways, erm…Shadow do the disclaimer. And hurry before the readers get angry.
SA: What do you say?
Hydro: Fine….Please hurry!
SA: Hydro does not own any Yugioh characters. If she did I wouldn't be stuck here doing the disclaimer now would I? There! You happy now!
Hydro: Yes, thank you. Any-hoo! On with the fic!
Light in the Dark
Chapter One: Dangerous Lies
"Atem? Anything the matter?"
"No, why do you ask?" I answered to my light, Yugi, slightly startled by his sudden asking. It was around two in the morning after all. Shouldn't this kid be asleep? "Does it look like something's wrong?"
He paused for a moment and stared at the foot of his bed. "Well, you've been acting a little strange lately." I looked at him like he was crazy. He seemed to feel guilty about asking. "For one, you've seemed to have been ignoring everybody, for two, you've shut me out of your mind link and three-
"Okay! Yugi, nothing's really been the matter, I've just had some things on my mind. That's all. It's nothing to worry about." I wasn't lying, but I wasn't telling the truth either. When the time comes and I get strong enough, he should DEFINITELY be worried.
Yugi gave me a cautious look before lying down and rolling over. "Alright, whatever you say Atem. Goodnight". He yawned sleepily and closed his eyes.
"Goodnight Yugi." I turned to look out the window.
'Fool'. I thought.
I waited about an hour to make sure that he was really sleeping, then I teleported to the outside of the house. The full moon was out tonight, casting eerie shadows on the ground. It was perfect for taking someone by surprise. Everything seemed quiet, with the occasional dog bark. But I knew better, I knew that there was a gang around here somewhere that I could pick on. With that known, I concentrated on solidifying myself with my shadow power, a trick that I could turn from a semi-transparent spirit into a living, breathing human. Of course, I wasn't exactly human either. For, after that was done, I concentrated even more power into changing to my true form. I could sense my dark power being released from deep within. My canines got sharper and longer as well as my fingernails, my forearms had small spikes coming from them, and shadows covered the area around my eyes.
With my newly- heightened senses, I picked up the sound of some guys fighting about 12 blocks from here. I smirked. "Let's see what's going on. Perhaps I'll catch something interesting." And with that, I was off.
oooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The next morning, I awoke to the sound of the television blaring loudly. Gods I hate modern technology with a burning passion! After about five minutes of trying to drown out the stupid thing and get back to sleep, I gave up and decided to try and see what it was that Gramps might be watching exactly.
To my surprise, both Gramps and Yugi were in the living room watching the news. Usually, Yugi slept in during the summer until about three or four, but it was only eleven-thirty. What could the news have on that would make him get up this early?
As if to answer my question, a reporter announced that two men were found dead not far from here. Both had hideous, deep gashes and had almost been drained of blood due to puncture wounds to the neck. I laughed a bit to myself, luckily the old man didn't notice. Yugi turned around at the sound of my voice, and gave me a questioning look.
"What's that all about? You don't have anything to do with this do you?" He asked me through our mind-link. His face suddenly looked worried at the thought.
"Not at all. I've been in my soul room sleeping."
He didn't look too convinced, but he took the bait anyways and turned back towards the T.V. I headed back to my soul room, and chuckled to myself. 'Not at all Yugi, not at all'…
