Before I start I'd like you all to know that this won't have a specific update day. I'll usually write it and then post it after I've typed it up. It also depends on whether or not I have any inspiration. I ironically tend to get it during school XD Enjoy!


The Light In The Shadows

Chapter 2: Lost

Yuugi's P.O.V.

I was having another nightmare. Usually I enjoyed them but this one was strange. Someone was calling to me. The voice sounded strangely familiar. Suddenly it began to yell at me, "Yuugi! Please snap out it! You're becoming a shadow! A demon as well! Now, you need to get out of here and away from the shadows. They're corrupting your mind! There's someone waiting for you to help you get away from here!" The voice told me. I felt a strange urge to listen. I felt like I could trust it. That didn't mean I wasn't going to find out who the voice belonged to. I began to follow the voice, running in the direction I heard it. I continued running until I saw a figure in the shadows. I gasped as I entered what looked like a dungeon cell. I looked around until I saw the figure, shadows holding him against the wall. I gasped at what I saw.

I saw…myself. Only instead of looking just like me, the left half of his body was pure shadows. I blinked a few times before rushing over and trying to get him out of the shadows. The shadows suddenly began to swarm and attack me.

"Go back…" They whispered into my ears, "Forget…"

I found myself listening and obeying as I went back to where I had started, my memories of what had just happened being erased. I soon began to sense someone hovering over my bed. I pulled away from the shadows in my nightmare and opened my blacked eyes, which widened in shock as I stared at what I saw in front of me. The shadows should know better! I've told them not to do this many times as a warning, "Shadows!" I snarled, shadows pouring out of my mouth as I spoke, "How DARE you make an illusion of Atem?! Rid of him at once!"

Atem's P.O.V.

I…I couldn't take it. My Aibou was a shadow. Not just any shadow, the king of shadows. If that wasn't enough, he thought I was an illusion. The shadows had broken and corrupted him. I promised myself I would help him heal. Even if it was the last thing I ever did. I looked into those pure black eyes and felt the need to cry. Yuugi growled at me and pulled me out of my thoughts Well? Go on!"

I blinked, "Yuugi…it's really me…I came back for you…I missed you…I promise I won't ever leave you again." I waited to see his reaction, to see how much of him was stuck inside the shadows. Yuugi slowly sat up and looked at me, his eyes softening and flickering to their usual amethysts color. He smiled gently at me. I smiled back. Suddenly Yuugi bent over and began to vomit, his whole body flickering to shadows. I gasped and suddenly a felt something claw at my face. I turned to see Yuugi with claws. "GO AWAY! I HATE YOU!" he screamed at me with a demonic voice. I was so scared to see my Aibou like this. I suddenly felt a warm feeling on my chest. My millennium puzzle glowed brightly, making Yuugi hiss and retreated into an unlighted part of his room. The puzzle eventually dulled down and in my hand was the millennium key. I knew what I had to do. I went over to the dark side of Yuugi's bedroom and touched the key to his forehead, entering his mind.
