Chapter 2

Me: Well, it's been a while since this story so it's time to update.

Yami: Well, you've spent most of your time with New Personality.

Me: Well, not many people are reviewing this. Or maybe I'm just impatient. o.O Yeah, I probably am. Oh well, note to self: Must learn to be more patient.

Yami: Ugh, your giving me a migraine. --

Me: Well then get some ice or something. You know I can make you look bad in this story.

Yami: I thought you said you didn't do that.

Me: Yeah well, if you make me mad then I guess I'll have to make an exception, huh?

Yami: Yikes! O.O

Disclaimer: Yep. Robotic now. I don't own Yugioh.

Note: Thanks to Cactus Bob for the review.

Also, if anyone else tried to review, thanks too! My server and email are back up!

Chapter 2: Something's wrong with him...

It was morning now and Yami didn't get any sleepthe rest of the night, so he looks like a tornado hit him. Yami's hair was shooting in all directions way, way more than usual. He was practically half asleep when grandpa came down and saw him like that. "Yami, you look like a tornado hit you. I'm guessing you didn't get a lot of sleep last night, huh?" he asked.

"No I didn't. Do I really look that bad?" Yami asked.

"A little but not much, although, you might want to get that hair more controlled."

"Yeah, I'll remember that." Then grandpa went to the kitchen just as Yugi was coming downstairs.

"Hey grandpa. Hey Yami-whoa. What happened to you?"

"What is it with you people and how I look in the morning?!!" Yami was getting frustrated without even knowing it.

"Whoa, calm down. Sleep deprivation really makes you cranky huh?" Yugi asked.

"I AM NOT CRANKY!!" he shouted.

"Sure your not," Yugi taunted. But now he was getting a little scared of Yami.

"YUGI!!" Yami was almost going to do something but he came back to his senses just in time. Now Yami was scared at how angry he sounded. I wasn't even that angry. I don't know why I just started yelling at him like that. I didn't even realize it until now. "Aibou, oh Ra, I am so sorry. I didn't mean it. I don't even know why I blew up like I did. I'm really sorry, please forgive me!"

"It's okay Yami. Calm down, you just didn't get enough sleep and it messed with your thoughts. I'm not mad at you."

"Well, okay."

"Tell you what. Why don't you lay down and take a nap. Then you'll feel better after a while," Yugi suggested.

"Yeah, I guess you're right," Yami agreed. Then Yugi went to the kitchen.

What is happening to me? I would never snap at Yugi for something as minuscule as that. I think he's right, I do need to lay down and sleep for at least a couple of hours, Yami thought. So that was settled. He was going to sleep for a while so he laid down, closed his eyes, and fell into the abyss of his dreams where his worst nightmare was lurking...

Meanwhile in the kitchen...

Yugi was pondering on Yami's episode. Yami really scared him with his shouts. I wonder what's wrong with him. He had a very bad dream, and then he doesn't sleep for the rest of the night. Then he completely shouts at me for no good reason. Either sleep deprivation makes him very cranky or something's wrong and we've got another enemy somewhere.

"Yugi? Hello anybody home?" grandpa was calling him for a couple of minutes now.

"Huh-Oh! Sorry grandpa, I was just thinking," Yugi said.

"It's about Yami isn't it?"

"Yeah..."

"Don't worry I'm sure he's fine. He's just tired. He'll feel better after that nap."

"Yeah, I guess your right," Yugi agreed. They had no idea what was going to happen that day...

$$$&&&&Whenyouseewordsinboldjumbleduplikethis,itmeansit'sascenechange.$$$$&&&

A couple hours later Yami was still asleep on the couch and Yugi was taking care of the shop because grandpa had to go run some errands. Yugi was still brooding over Yami's bad mood when he finally came to a decision to stop thinking about it. It shouldn't even be that big of a deal! Yugi thought. It's not that big of a deal so I will stop thinking about it! That's it! My mind has just closed the subject now so now I'm done.

Now that Yugi was not brooding on the subject anymore, he was currently bored. The business was slow today so not many people were in the shop. Yugi's bordem was going to be cut short because the gang was coming into the shop. Jonouchi, Anzu, and Honda.

"Hey Yuge, what's goin' on?" Jou asked.

"Not much. Business is slow as you can see," Yugi said.

"Where's Yami?" Anzu asked.

"Oh, he's sleeping in the living room. He had a rough night."

"What happened?" Honda asked.

"Real bad dream is all I can say. I'm not that sure actually. Oh well, it's probably not that big a deal."

"Dat's da spirit Yuge. Think positive," Jou said almost shouting.

"Sheesh Jou, why are you ecstaic? Did they come up with a new donut or something?" Anzu asked a little mockingly.

"Either that or they have a new pizza topping," Honda joked.

"Hey, you wanna be the latest pizza topping?!" Jou threatened.

"Bring it on Chef Idiot!" And so the two were off to their usual fighting and such while Yugi and Anzu were trying to break them up.

Meanwhile...

Surprisingly Yami was still asleep with everyone yelling in the other room. In fact it didn't seem to disturb him at all. He must be in a deep sleep, but something was about to disrupt his sleep...

Dream

Yami was in bliss in his dream. He was surrounded by a golden light. He would recall a lot of dreams where he was surrounded by a golden light . It always made him feel safe no matter what. That's why he always looks so peaceful when he's asleep because nothing bad seems to happen in his dreams. The golden light was always protecting him.

He was totally content, when suddenly the light went away and a swirl of darkness appeared around him. This darkness was even worse than the Shadow Realm. It was just pitch black everywhere and it felt like you couldn't even breathe in there at all. Yami was getting very concerned about this darkness. 'What is going on here?' Yami thought. Just then the cackling came back. It seemed closer this time as if this creature was right behind Yami. He was starting to get a little scared but quickly shrugged it off. 'I am not going to let something like this scare me. I am not a coward, and I will not let whoever this is get the best of me.'

Yami was ready to fight this creature but he got startled when he felt something. He looked down and saw that his right foot had sunk into the darkness and the darkness was creeping up his leg. He struggled to free his right leg but it was completely stuck. The darkness was creeping up fast. Now he was getting very scared and all thoughts earlier completely left him. The voice was not going away. In fact it seemed as if the creature was breathing down Yami's neck and it made Yami shudder. The creature hissed at him and said something that made Yami freeze.

"I hope you like darkness, because you're going to be in it for a long time."

Yami was getting very freaked out at the moment and wanted to know who this creature was. "Who are you?!!" But the creature disappeared and the darkness was starting to bury him. He was out of options so he did the only thing he could do: he screamed.

End Dream

He was screaming in his dream and was screaming in the real world too. He was screaming so loud, the Yugi-tachi jumped like 10ft in the air. They ran to Yami to see that he was screaming and convulsing a lot. "YAMI!" Yugi shouted and ran to Yami and tried to stop the convulsions. "What's wrong?! Yami wake up!"

"What's wrong with him?!" Anzu asked frantic.

"Yeah, he won't stop shaking!" Jou shouted.

"Was this what he was like last night?!" Honda asked.

"I don't know what's wrong with him! He was shaking last night but they weren't this bad! I don't know why he won't stop! Yami, wake up please!!" Yugi was getting more worried by the minute. Yami was shaking less now until he opened his eyes and then the convulsions stopped completely. His eyes were open but they were vacant and darker than the usually lively crimson. He was very silent and not even moving at all.

Yugi decided to say something. "Yami, are you okay?" Yami still wasn't moving but then he made a noise. It sounded like a growl. (AN: O.O)

Yugi was getting very worried now. What's going on? Did Yami just growl? Yami let out another growl so Yugi decided to back away. The gang was getting freaked out at Yami's behavior.

"Yugi...Why is he growling?" Anzu asked.

"I don't know," Yugi said. Yugi was about to approach Yami again when suddenly, Yami sprang from the couch towards Yugi and them. Yugi managed to dodge him and send Yami to a wall. Yugi was getting very scared at Yami's actions and so was the rest of the gang.

"Yugi, what's wrong with him?!" Jou shouted.

"I don't know! Yami, are you okay? Why did you charge at us?" Yugi was very scared of Yami right now. Why is he acting this way? What's wrong? Then Yami was covered in a black light and then he shot it at the gang and they went spiraling backwards.

Then Yami started crawling to his target: Yugi. Yugi was backing away when Yami was coming towards him. "Yami! Stop doing this!" Yugi tried to be brave but that last remark quivered a lot. Anzu, Jou, and Honda were just frozen in shock at what Yami was doing. Then at last, Yami started to say something but his voice sounded scarier than usual:

"Must...destroy...Tenshi..."

Yugi was confused at that statement but equally frightened at the same time. He quickly found his voice, "Yami, what's wrong with you!!" But Yami just kept talking.

"Must...destroy...Tenshi...to be free..."

"Yugi, why is he saying that?!" Anzu shouted.

"I don't know but I get the feeling that this is not Yami!" Just then Yugi heard another voice.

//Yugi...help...me...//

Was that just Yami? Yugi thought. Yugi tried to mind link Yami/Yami, where are you?/

//Yugi...help...that creature is not me...//

Yugi was about to confront the creature when the creature grabbed his leg. This creature had a very strong grip and Yugi couldn't get him to let go. The creature was now right in his face. "Must...destroy...Tenshi...must destroy you..." the creature hissed. Yugi shut his eyes waiting for a blow of some sort when suddenly the creature screamed.

Yugi opened his eyes to see the creature getting hit by a white light, and Yugi was creating the white light. The power was going right through his hands to the creature and the creature screamed and it looked like he was burning. Then the creature passed out and the white light was gone. Yugi and the rest were shocked to say the least. They stood up after the shock wore off.

"Woah Yugi, how did you do that?" Honda asked.

"I don't know. That white light just came shooting out of my hands without warning," Yugi said.

"Is Yami okay?" Anzu asked.

"Yeah, it looked like he was possessed," Jou said.

"I think he was possessed," Yugi began, "I heard him through the mind link and he said he needed help. Something is going on here."

"Why did he say he wanted to destroy you?" Anzu asked.

"I don't know. He also said Tenshi. I guess that means me. I don't know what this creature would want with me though."

"What would he want with Yami though?" Honda asked.

"I don't know that either. I bet we'll get our answers eventually though," Yugi said.

"What do we do with Yami?" Jou asked.

"Let's just put him back on the couch until he wakes up for real," Yugi said. So they set him on the couch and sat in a silence just waiting for him to wake up.

&&&&&&&&&&&Intenseintenseintenseintense,boythatwasintense&&&&&&&&&&&

Me: O.O Wow, like I said in the borderline, that was intense.

Yami: O.O

Yugi: O.O You wanted to destroy me?

Yami: I told you that wasn't me! OO

Me: See I told you I could make you look bad, but that wasn't even you so it really doesn't count.

Yami: Still, that was really scary, I'm still in shock. O.O

Yugi: What's going to happen next?

Me: You'll just have to wait to find out.

Yami: Oh Ra. O.O

Me: R&R please!!!
