Summary: Yami left for the afterlife, Yugi is left behind and is falling into deep depression. His friends worry, and what does Yami and Yugi's past, Anubis and an ancient world have to do with this? Their troubles have just started.

Hm.. I realised that since I've read this story at least 5 times and corrected much of the errors just as many times.. I figured it's time to upload this story on ..

I don't really know how to continue on with this story, because if will be a very long story.. it will be in three parts.. Part 1; Those Who Search, Part 2; The Prince Denied of His Life and Part 3; They Who Come Back :D

And also I've desided that this YugixAtem relationship will be a lot different from the ones I usualy writes.. Thus it might seem odd, or rather hard to understand.. so please ask if there's something you don't understand..

Don't own YGO.. and will never own it T^T oh and did I mention that this is a Atem x Yugi story, so there will be a lot of.. detailed stuff *blush* there's a reason it'll be M-rated! Oh, and did I mention there'll be a lot of other pairings as well.. just let the time flow..


Yu-Gi-Oh! Powers of Life.

Part 1: Those Who Search

Prologue.

"No.. why does he have to leave?" Yugi thought as he collapsed on the floor, he had just shook hands with his darkness, his other self, Yami, who was now walking towards the door to the afterlife, finally beaten in battle and ready to go off in peace. But Yugi, who was sure he was happy for the Pharaoh, wasn't happy at all. Tears where streaming down his face and his hand was slightly reaching out to Yami, but the ancient Egyptian didn't turn to look back, not at all.

"Yami.. wait.. please don't-" Yugi's voice was weak, just barely above a whisper, in wich Yami didn't hear it. Then, right before Yami walked through the door to the afterlife, he turned.

"Goodbye.. and thank you all.. but mostly you Yugi" smiling, he turned and walked through the door, disappearing into the white glow. Then the door's closed and Yugi stared, wide eyes and wide mouthed at the door that had separated him from his other self.

"ATEM!"


"Yugi, open the door please, what's going on? What happened!" Yugi didn't open the door for his mother, he just didn't dare to. Yugi Muto was 16 years old and going to Domino High School, for a time now, ever since he had finished the Millenium Puzzle, he had had a second soul in his body, the soul of an ancient Pharaoh who's name was unclear then. After finally beating Kaiba, Marik and Bakura, he had obtained the seven Millenium items as well as the three Egyptian God Cards. But he had already desided to put Duel Monster away, since he lost his reason to fight anyway.

"Atem-" Yugi whispered against his pillow, he was lying in his bed at home and crying, very much. He hadn't gone to school for almost a week now, but it didn't matter to him. Back when he had fought Yami with everything he could muster, he had thought it was his destiny to help Yami and then be happy for him when he left, but he realised that that was not true at all. The reincarnation of the Pharaoh looked up through the window, his tears rolling down from his eyes. So many things had happened throughout the time he and Yami had fought together to defeat other duelist's and monsters, or just murderous, psychopaths that wanted to murder Yugi in the most bloody way possible and take the Millenium Puzzle's powers.

"A world without yourself is.. a world without anything?" Yugi questioned himself, he looked at the up-side-down pyramid-pendant on his bedside table, the gold shone from the rays of light from outside, but Yugi didn't care if the world was going under. He had desided early that he was one big loser and to lose Yami was the greatest thing to loose. If it only didn't get worse. Wich, it did and that only three months later.


HAH! It's the shortest prologue I've EVER written.. but I'll upload the next chapter soon.. wich is on 6 pages :D

This story already seems so.. depressing.. remember to review!
