Chapter 1: Yuugi's Dream
Yuugi looked up and saw darkness. It surrounded him, covered him and smothered him, and he didn't like it.
//Yami??// He tried to reach his Yami through their link. Then, he realized something: He couldn't sense their link. At all. It was as if his Yami didn't even exist.
//Yami!!? Where are you// He tried, thought he knew it was futile. His Yami was nowhere to be found.
"Yami!!?? Where are you?" Yuugi asked tentatively to the darkness that surrounded him. Looking around, he saw nothing, but he heard a sound. It was a dark sound; rich and full, but infinitely maniacal. It was more than a chuckle, but less than an all out laugh. Whatever it was. Yuugi didn't like the sound of it. Then, he was sitting on something. It was the ground, he was semi positive, but he didn't remember falling and he was sure that a second ago, he was floating in mid air. Then, a figure appeared before him. Shrouded in darkness, Yuugi couldn't see the facial features, but he knew the silhouette like he knew the back of his hand.
"Who are you?? Why do you keep coming to me in dreams?? My Yami will never leave me!!" Yelled Yuugi, now annoyed with this person. He didn't even know her name, but he knew her by looking. That same chuckle that had haunted him for days sounded and that voice which he had come to loathe hissed,
"That is none of your concern. And, yes, when your Yami meets me, he will leave you. If only because I am almost his equal in strength and intelligence." Yuugi plugged his ears like he had every night for the past 10 days and tried to block out what she was saying as she continued. "He will leave you because you are weak, and pathetic. You can't even take a gamble to save a person's life, and you are so weak that it's not even the slightest bit amusing. Yami hates you, and deep down, I think you know it."
"No! Yami loves me. He said so himself!! You're lying! You're just a dream……You're always just a dream!!!" Yuugi yelled. The figure chuckled as a mist began to roll in, obscuring her from view. Just before he re-entered the world of the conscious, she hissed,
"I may be a dream now. But soon I will become a reality; and your worst nightmare."
Yuugi shot up in bed for the third time that night. Then, realizing where he was, he collapsed back onto the pillows behind him, breathing heavily as the sweat on his face cooled, making him shiver. The same dream came every night. Either that girl, his Yami, or both would come and tell him that his Yami was going to leave him for another, that girl (he still didn't know her name) and he would leave him. He hadn't told his Yami about his dreams, he hated lying, but he told him instead that they were just dreams that made no sense to him, people chasing him and such. His Yami believed it, albeit skeptically, and for that Yuugi was grateful. His Yami wouldn't look at his dreams; he respected his aibou's privacy, so he simply believed what Yuugi told him.
That trust was one reason why Yuugi couldn't believe what his dreams were telling him; but they were still difficult to dismiss. They seemed so real; the way his Yami stood, spoke, acted. This girl, he didn't know about, but still, she was convincing enough as she was.
"Aibou, are you alright?" asked a voice from beside him. This made Yuugi jump sky-high. He had forgotten that Yami was there, and had neglected to realize that he had also woken him up with his antics.
"Uh…. Yeah Yami…..I'm good….. Just another dream…. That's all." said Yuugi, unconvincingly. Yami looked at him for a minute, then dismissed his suspicion as paranoia. Yuugi wouldn't lie to me. Especially if there was something wrong. He thought as he hugged his aibou tighter. Yuugi relaxed into his Yami's arms; he was tired, but he dreaded sleep with a vengeance.
Yami noticed that his aibou wasn't going to sleep anytime soon, so he sighed and buried his head in his aibou's tri-colored hair and said,
"What happened Yuugi? Tell me about this dream. Maybe I can help you solve it." Yuugi tensed at this thought, and then said,
"Uh….. I don't really want to talk about it Yami….." Yami, respecting his aibou's wishes, pulled him closer and said,
"Alright aibou. You don't have to, but if you ever want to tell me….." Yuugi snuggled closer to his Yami's neck and whispered,
"Thank you Yami."
~Morning~
//Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep//
Yuugi groaned and looked around. Dislodging himself from his Yami's arms, he savagely beat the alarm clock into submission. This caused it to fall off of the night stand, and this made matters worse because to see what time it was, Yuugi had to get up. Hmmmmmmm. 6:30….I have an hour…. He thought groggily as he covered his Yami back up and stumbled half dead to the shower. Turning on the water full blast, he forgot to check the temperature, and when he went in, he got a rude wake up call.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" He yelled as he leaped out of the freezing cold water. Well, on the bright side, at least I'm awake now, he thought as he adjusted the water to a more forgiving temperature. Sliding in, he took a long warm shower, and by the time he got out, it was quarter after 7. Not bad, considering that he was usually still sleeping at this time. Drying his hair quickly, he slipped on his clothes and went to tame his tri-colored rat's nest. Ten minutes later found him stumbling down the stairs while struggling to put his slippers on, which he had neglected to find until after his socks were soaked by the water that he had dripped on the floor in his room. Unfortunately, he also neglected to notice the sheet of paper which was later deemed hi math homework that was sitting on the stairs. Hardwood stairs are slippery, and when mixed with something that isn't bolted down on it………… Do I need to tell you what happened?
"Aibou, are you alright?" Yami came sprinting out of the kitchen when he heard the crash. Yuugi, rubbing hi head, felt himself being scooped up, and he looked up into concerned scarlet orbs. Smiling, he said,
"Yes Yami. I'm fine. I'm just not used to being up this early I guess." Yami smiled at him and gave him and Eskimo kiss. Then, he carried Yuugi to the kitchen and set him down at his place at the table. Yuugi flipped out!! His grandpa must have been out on an errand, because it looked like Yami had cooked breakfast for him. Sure, his grandpa cooked well, but when Yami cooked, that was incentive enough for Yuugi to get up at 3 o'clock in the morning!!
Smothering all 4 blueberry pancakes with strawberry syrup, Yuugi sprinkled some brown sugar on top and dug in. The fluffy golden brown delicacies were gone within 30 seconds, Yuugi only stopping to breathe or take a sip of the fresh-squeezed orange juice that accompanied his meal. Then, he put honey almond cream cheese (A/N: it's really really really really good ^_^) on his cinnamon and raisin bagle, devouring that in all of 5 minutes. Gulping the rest of his orange juice, Yuugi actually left on time as he checked his watch and saw that it was 7:35 as he walked out the door. Yami walked (A/N: it's a miracle!! They're walking instead of running a marathon ^_^) next to his aibou until they got to the school.
Yuugi walked into the classroom, sat down, and took out the book he had just started yesterday, and was in the class for the first time to hear the bell. Yuugi thought as the sensei came in, This is definitely a good day. That is, until he saw who was following the sensei into the classroom………………
TBC……………
YM: ^_^ Who is it you ask?? Review and all shall be revealed. Well, until the next chapter ends that is………^_^
EC: Then you gotta review and all ^_^
Yami: What's wrong with my abiou!!?? Why wont' anyone tell me anything?? //pouts//

Yuugi: -_-' Am I that bad of a lier?
Yami: Yep.
Yuugi: -_-'
