Eclipse of the Heart

Chapter 1

Yugi felt his body on his soft mattress and turned to shield himself from the light that was now penetrating his eyelids. He sighed; now that he was awake he knew he had no chance of getting back to sleep, even though he was so tired. He had been out late again with Joey improving his duelling skills (Joey was very good by now) well actually the Pharaohs. Now they had defeated Darts who knows when the next evil will strike.

Yugi slowly opened his eyes and as the focused he could make the time on his alarm clock, 9.15. 'Wow', he though 'that's pretty late for me.' Slowly Yugi made his way out of his bed (automatically putting on the Millennium Puzzle) and went to the bathroom. After brushing his teeth and doing his business (need I say more) he returned to his room to get changed.

When he walked in, he saw the Pharaoh had materialized and was sitting on the end of his bed, resting his chin on his hand.

"Morning Yami!" he called "looks like an awesome day today" he looked out of his over head window and saw it was an endless blue sky. When no reply came Yugi turned to see the Pharaoh hadn't budged.

"Er…Yami?" he asked, still no reply. It wasn't until Yugi stood right in front of him that moved or said anything.

"Oh…er…did you say something Yugi?" The Pharaoh finally replied coming out of his daze.

"What's wrong?" he immediately asked.

"Nothing, don't worry about it, hey, isn't a great day" he said tilting his head to look out the window.

"We've been through this before, you can't hide anything from me, I'm your other half," he smiled and rested his hand on Yami's shoulder, "and I'm one of your best friend, so it's my job to worry about you."

The Pharaoh sighed and smiled "I should have known"

"C'mon, spill"

Yami gazed at the floor and began to speak, "Yugi, you know that ever since you solved the Millennium Puzzle we've shared a strong bond, and that I have no memory of my ancient past, but recently my memory is retuning to me in small fragments, but I am afraid of what I have remembered."

"What is it?" replied Yugi hanging on to his every word.

"There is a prophecy that once every decade a solar eclipse would occur and a reaction between it and the Millennium Puzzle would activate."

"Wait a second, there's a solar eclipse tomorrow afternoon at 3 o clock!" Yugi shouted "It's been all over the news, but what does it have to do with the Puzzle?"

"As the sun is covered by darkness, the darkness within me grows, and it forces me to switch places with you until the sun rises on the next day."

"That's not too bad then," Yugi added, "I mean we've swapped so any times it doesn't effect us anyway" but see the look on Yami's face he knew there was more, "wait, there's something else, isn't there?"

"Also in the prophecy it says that once the sun is concealed, there is also a rise within the darkness, an evil force is said to spread across the land and I have to defeat it."

"You'll be okay, and besides you won't be alone, I'll be here, right by your side"

"But as soon as the sun is covered, you will be sent to a distant part of the puzzle, where we cannot communicate"

"You don't get it, do you?"

The Pharaoh looked up "What?"

"We'll never truly be apart, I'll be with you all the way even if we can't contact each other, and besides I think once Joey, Tristan and Tea find out about this, they're not going to let you go through this without them," he said smiling once more.

"Yugi, thank you, I-"started the Pharaoh but was interrupted by a load noise from downstairs.

"YUGI! WHAT ARE YOU DOING UP THERE!" came Yugi's grandpa's voice, "YOUR 20 MINUITES LATE ALREADY!"

"Coming Grandpa!" Yugi called back, he turned back to Yami "C'mon, Tea's probably waiting for us outside now" and with that Yugi grabbed his bag and ran out of the room.
