I've decided to rewrite this fic.
=+= "I want to make my own parting from you, Yami. Do you understand?" Yugi told his other self painfully.
"No, aibou, I don't." Yami replied. "What did I do to make you send me away?"
Yugi's sigh crackled over the phone line. "I want to be my own person, not a part of a whole."
Yami's temper flared. The one person who he thought."So, you're saying you won't consider you to be a part of me, right?"
Silence answered him.
"You betrayed me." Yami said, before the he hung up the line.
'My other half.the light who counteracts my dark refuses to acknowledge that? And now, I'm stuck here.'
He was sent to an Egyptian boarding school. He left in the early morning darkness, not even getting a chance to say good-bye to Yugi.
"If my love will not accept me." Yami said, his voice hollow. "Then I will not reminisce." He took out the middle piece of the puzzle, before locking the entire thing away.
=+= Yugi sobbed, collapsing against the wall. He loved Yami so much.
'But no one would accept us being together, and that is the real reason asked Grandpa to send you away. Even though you will never find out that I love you, I can give you a chance to live your life, instead of me tying you down.'
He lifted the chain from his neck and was relieved of the glinting puzzle. He tucked it away inside his desk drawer.
"Farewell, mou hitori no boku." (Other me)
=+= "You don't look so good, Yug." Jonouchi said, worried. "What's wrong?"
Yugi glanced up, forcing a smile. "I'm fine. Don't worry about me."
That was far from the truth. Yugi was in complete agony, suffering a horrible withdraw since Yami left. He didn't want to eat, and was constantly tired. He seemed to worsen day by day. It was only a matter of time before something crushed him.
~Yugi's POV~
I slowly drag myself into my bedroom. The heavy backpack falls from my shoulders and crashes to the floor with a loud thump. My bed is so tempting, I have no choice but to flop onto it and fall into a light doze, a half-sleep, where I'm awake, but not really there.
'Yami...' My counterpart, my darkness, my very soul. Will we survive this separation? He had always been by my side. Everyday is an emotional, almost physical struggle. The bond that links us tugs inside our hearts, trying in vain to bring us back together. Each second it pulls stronger, until sleep pulls us in and it sharply recedes.
"It's for the best!" I tell myself. Funny, how words lose their meaning so quickly.
~Two Weeks Later~
Tea says I don't look good. She has a point. Joey and Tristan agrees. My skin is deathly white, and it seems as though my fragile frame is wasting away. They don't know how difficult it is, being torn in two. It is a constant ache, with no cure or treatment.
~Yami's POV~
I'm miserable here, at this cursed school. To distract me from thoughts of Yugi, I throw myself into my studies. I don't bother to make friends. I actually don't know how. Most are born with an instinct to make companions, others are doomed to be introverted and scorned. As pharaoh, I had no time for such petty things. With Yugi, I had a 24/7, automatic friend, and I gained the friendship of his friends. Easy. But here... why should I try?
