That night in the quiet of his room, Yugi was dreaming. He was having a nightmare which was causing him to toss and turn in his sleep. Sensing his distress the Millenium puzzle started glowing. When the Light faded, Yami was standing by the bed looking down at his Hikari. Seeing him in such obvious distress struck Yami's heart. Kneeling down beside the bed he put his hand on Yugi's sweaty forehead causing the Millenium puzzle to glow again. Yami was now in Yugi's dream.
Dream Sequence
When Yami opened his eyes he saw a house on fire and firemen spraying the house. Just then a cry diverted his attention to the front door. He saw a fireman drag a young Yugi from the smoldering house.
"No," Yugi cried. "Mommy, Daddy, Sakura!!"
Yugi was struggling against the fireman who was trying to pull him to an ambulance. Just then an explosion rocked the place knocking everyone down and everything went dark. Yami came out of Yugi's mind just as he woke up.
End Dream Sequence
"Noooooooo!!!!!!!"
Yugi screamed as he bolted up. He was crying, covered in sweat, and trembling badly. He drew his knees up to his chest and wrapped his arms around them. Just then Yugi's Grampa came running into the room. Seeing Yugi's terrified eyes, he quickly went over to his grandson and hugged him. Since Yugi wasn't in any state to talk he looked at Yami for an explanation.
"It was a memory. A house was on fire and Aibou looked really young."
"Yes Yugi's parents died in that fire. It was several months before the nightmares stopped entirely. I wander what caused it to come back."
"It was the fire at the warehouse," Yugi whispered.
"Aibou, are you alright?"
"I am now. I think."
"Do you think you can sleep," Grampa asked.
"Will you stay with me Yami," Yugi asked fearfully.
"Of course, Aibou," Yami said reasurringly.
"Then I'll leave you to sleep Yugi," Grampa said as he left.
Yugi picked up a picture off the night stand and showed it to Yami. It was a picture of a man, a woman, a boy, and a baby. The man's hair was like Yugi's, The woman's was curly, long, and jet black. The boy was obviously Yugi.
"Those were my parents."
"Who's this," Yami asked pointing to the baby in the woman's arms.
Yugi smiled sadly.
"That was my baby sister, Sakura. I don't know what happened to her. They never found her body. She was only a year old."
"How old were you?"
"I was 5. That picture was taken on my birthday. Miraculously it had survived the fire."
Yugi paused yawning.
"Do you think you can sleep?"
Yugi sighed.
"I'll try."
He put the picture back on the nightstand and climbed back under the covers. Yami pulled the covers up and tucked Yugi in. Then he sat next to his Hikari and allowed him to snuggle up to his 'older brother'. Then he softly began to sing.
Bring Me To Life
How can you see nto my eyes like open doors
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb
Without a soul, my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home (echos)
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save from the nothing I've become
Release
Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life (echo)
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save from the nothing I've become
Release
Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, Darling
Only you are the life among the dead
Release
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save from the nothing I've become
Release
Bring me to life
Bring me to life
When Yami finised singing, Yugi was sound asleep. Yami slowly tried to take his hand out of Yugi's which only caused his grip to tighten. Yami lay down next to his Hikari as ha waited for Yugi's grip to loosen. Instead he fel asleep.
The Next Morning
Yami woke up to see that he had fallen asleep next to his Hikari, who was still asleep. As he carefully sat up Yugi stirred, gradually waking. Yugi slowly opened his eyes focusing on Yami.
"Good morning, Aibou. Feel better?"
"Yes. I haven't slept that soundly in a long time. I think it was the song. Where did you learn it?"
"I'm glad you like it. I heard it somewhere not to long ago. I'l sing it again sometime if you want."
"I'de really like that."
Just then Grampa Motou walked into the room.He smiled when he saw his grandson's sitting togethor on the bed.
"Good morning. How where you last night Yugi? Did you sleep alright?"
"Yes. I slept fine."
"Good. Breakfast is almost ready."
With that Grampa Motou left to let Yugi get dressed. Yami stood up and went to look out the window. While Yugi getting dressed he started humming the song that Yami had sung.
"I could teach you the song if you want," Yami said hearing Yugi humming.
"That would be great," Yugi replied as he finished.
Then they went downstairs to eat and to plan what they wanted to do that day.
This
is my very first story so go easy on the criticism. This was only
supposed to be a very short story of the night between ep. 3-4 in
season 2.
however it has turned into something much more. I can only
write two maybe three days a week so I won't be able to uplode as often
as would like.
Thank you for reading my story.
