-:Chapter Two:-

-Answer-

The ceremonial battle was the hardest thing Yuugi had ever had to do in his life. The result in him winning would mean pure sadness for himself, but he tried to convince himself to get by. That was impossible, unfortunately.

Yami- no…Atemu had hardly even said good-bye to him with the doors to the afterlife opened. It tore him to shreds. He didn't feel like he was his own self again- nor did he ever think that for a long time. He always had someone to help him, and now he felt more alone then he ever had in his life. It made his blood boil; it made his insides crush and mingle painfully as he watched his darkness just walk through the door almost like nothing was happening. He should had screamed out…but no sound left his lips. No vibration through his throat; nothing.

…And now, he was screaming for his darkness…

He'll scream until his voice would finally die out.

…and he'd die with it.

NO! Stop it…stop pulling me! I'm not yours to own!! He thrashed and pushed and scratched but nothing happened. He was still being dragged like a doll that a little toddler would drag on the ground as they'd walk. He was nothing but a 'thing', and he was being taken deeper, deeper into pure…

I said stop it!! LET GO OF ME!! His scream echoed, but no ears heard him. He continued to be dragged, to be clamped on and to be imprisoned. He should have seen this coming…he knew he wasn't safe anymore. He was still in their reach…and they finally got him.

…Yami…He slowly started to recede; falling limp in the darkness' clutches. He was done for now… Maybe it was better this way?

A…-temu… He still had a wish though. Could he have it? Will he get it if he still lives?

He stretched out his hand with the bit of strength he had, he hadn't even noticed his own strength was drained from him; but that didn't matter. He out-stretched it to pure darkness, ignoring the sudden blood that dripped from his very hand to his face. Perhaps he wouldn't live after all…

…I…I never got to tell you…ever…At-…temu…

"HEBA!!"

"Ugh…when is he going to wake up…?"

"Imouto, he just almost got gulfed in the shadows; do you think he'd just wake up and say, 'WOW! That hurt like hell, but I'm just fine now!'?"

A snort along with a sound of a smack and an 'Ouch!', made his eyes slowly flutter open. "Mean, Aneue!"

"Right…Hey! He's coming to!" Shifting sounded in front of him as he almost instantly felt a pounding head ache and a throbbing pain mostly on his left side. Though, it hurt all over and he didn't even care if people were in there with him as he let out a long groan.

"Yuugi-chan, I suggest not moving for a while. We're still-" There was a sound of a smack-

"Don't mind her! H-how are you feeling, Yuugi-san?" Another voice, almost like the other except it was a bit deeper then the other and sounded more mature. Still, it sounded like a woman; both of the voice did. This confused him even more…

"Wh-who are you?" He winced as he clamped his eyes shut, since he was actually started to get a little blinded from the pain. It vibrated everywhere; everything burned him everywhere all over his body and his mind. He could hardly even comprehend that he was actually still living and whether he was hell or not…

"My name is Jessica Eiki, and my sister is with me; Chi Eiki-Scotizu…I'm sure you're in quite a bit of pain, though we're working on that, so please try and bear with us?" Come to think of it, the more mature, womanly voice actually sounded a bit more stressed out.

So what was going on here…?

Forcing himself to open his eyes, he waited and squinted his eyes to look at the two blurry figures in front of him. In time, he finally made out who was in front of him.

Two girls, both looked much like the other, but one had big eyes and more innocent features then the other. One was even taller then the other, but probably only by a foot. Other then that, there was some random twins standing over him…and this made him even more confused.

"…who are you really?" He asked, slightly in a stiff tone, but he tried to make himself not show any emotion. That's what most kidnappers wanted; scared emotions from their victims.

Almost instantly, the two girls exchanged hard glances and he slightly was taken aback. Though, they were twins, so they practically talked telepathically…wait…

'…are those…sennen items…?' He questioned to pretty much no body as he looked from the girl to girl and slightly widened his eyes. He started to back away, despite the pain that was starting to shoot through him even more, though he didn't really care at the time. He just felt he had to get away.

The shorter girl from the other, the more innocent one got a soft smile on her face as she shook her head to him. She slowly walked over to him, and kneeled down so they were eye level to each other. She had eyes greener then pure grass and clearer then any water. "…we'll explain why we have sennen items, Yuugi-chan. Please don't be afraid though…"

Had they read his mind? Yuugi hesitated a bit, but seemed to had calmed a little from the girl's soft voice and smile. He relaxed a bit, and stopped his movement. The pain slowly started to get worse though, and he had to bite bag a groan.

The girl who had calmed him, he guess, Chi from her voice; had now moved the clip that held some of her hair back that was in the shape of the Eye of Horus. It slightly sparkled in the light, come to think of it…was this his hotel room?

He remember getting back to the hotel, showing Jou the bracelet and hearing Anzu's smart comment on how it was just a waste of money, the small yelling match that had emitted between Jou and Anzu after they had gotten to the floor of their room, and he remembered himself tearfully watch the scene and scream at all of them hurtfully that they should just leave him alone- but not once did he remember getting to his room on that fact.

"You started to get engulfed in darkness again. Your friend thought you had been over stressed from what had happed…and all. So they took you in here and let you rest in peace." The more womanly voice came from the taller twin, her eyes green but slightly dark with a clear hazel. Her features were more narrow and sharper then the others. "Good think we got here in time, right Imouto."

Chi didn't take her eyes away from his as she nodded in agreement. "Hai, Aneue." She smiled down to him again. "If we hadn't of come, the darkness would had killed you for sure."

Yuugi's mind was immediately bombarded with thoughts and questions. But one seemed to had popped out more then others. "…why?" He asked weakly.

The taller twin, Jessica decided to take her time and explain. "You're the soul of light, sure. You're pure and bright and would light anyone's way…but if you don't have your darkness to balance you out- you either have darkness, or you don't." She said as if it hadn't meant anything at all.

"In your case, in your gloomy mood and grief…the darkness tried to consume you completely," Chi added. "Like we said, we came in time apparently."

"Came in time…" He echoed softly, "…are you the one who-?"

"Actually, that was my sister," Chi nodded her head to Jessica. "She has quite the vocals."

"So, you're saying that you two…saved me? From the darkness?" Both the girls nodded simultaneously and he blinked. "…what are you?" He decided to be open. "How could you…?"

Chi slightly opened her mouth as if she was going to tell him, but Jessica took that job once again.

Jessica sighed before she took a breath and leaned against the wall next to his bed- which he had been lying on the whole time. "My sister and I, actually reincarnations of the sacred witches of Egypt. 'The Witches of the same face', is what we were known as, and we wanted to stop the darkness from penetrating the world the same time as Akunenkanon did. We were never spoken of when the sennen items were created, but we did do something sacred." She held up her left wrist and she gestured over to her sister's Eye of Horus clip in her hair, "We made run-off items that were offered to the Pharaoh himself at the time; but they were declined from the amount of power we had created them with."

There was a silence as she took a breather and Yuugi did his best to let all the new information sink into his skull. This was just too hard to believe…but he had to see.

"When the great Pharaoh, Akunenkanon died and Pharaoh Atemu took his place, that is when we really too action. We served under his command and pledged our allegiance to him at his time of sacred need. From the time he had sealed himself in the puzzle to keep Zorc- the Dark One- from causing darkness to the world to now, my sister and I have been reincarnated for thousands of years in order to keep our allegiance with Pharaoh Atemu himself."

…

Yuugi let it all sink in that moment, and his eyes slowly widened. "…You knew Atemu?"

Chi nodded with a soft smile. "Hai. Your Yami."

"…and…you've been here the whole time and yet you both have never done anything at all?" He asked.

"Actually, we just found you. We've been traveling most of our lives in this aura, and apparently…" Jessica trailed.

Yuugi shook his head then, slowly bowing it. "You came too late. He's gone…"

Both girls were silent as they watched. Though, after a fair minute, Chi reached for his hand, and rested it limply in hers. Then, her hands started to glow a pale white color, and he felt soft stings coming from it- but he did nothing.

"You see, Yuugi-chan, me and Jessi are actually hikari's like you? Over the years, we developed Yami's of our owns. Especially in this aura, since we used our sennen items to track you for years." Chi reasoned. "…do you know how we would be if we lost them?"

Yuugi slowly averted his eyes over to the wall next to his bed as he continued to let her heal him, he guessed. "…do you love them?" he asked, without even thinking nor with a care.

"Hai. I love him a lot. But if I ever lost him…I wouldn't want to make him unhappy, would I?" Chi said calmly to him as she switched his hands. It turned out she actually was healing him.

Yuugi slowly rose a brow. "'Him'?"

"Long story…"

"Hn." He sighed. "…what are you saying…making 'him' unhappy?"

Chi let out a small giggle. "Making him unhappy that I'd want to kill myself, and surrender myself to the darkness instead of fighting harder…like I know he'd want me to."

Yuugi slowly turned his head over to her. How could she know what he was even feeling? How could she ever know how much pain he had in his heart? It's never even happened to her! How could she know?!

'She's only painting a picture for you,' A voice said to him, ', you should consider what she's implying.'

'What is she implying?' He fired back to himself. 'She pretty much said I wanted to kill myself because HE's not here-'

'Do you think that's some lie? From the story they're telling, and the reason why you're even here now, living shows that they're telling the truth. She made a good point, and you're ignorant enough to deny that you tried to do such a thing!'

'Do what?! Why the hell would my emotions give judgment to the darkness? Why does the darkness even have a choice to do with me! I my own person!'

'…with your grieving and sadness…you proved that you're not your own person. You proved that you never will be, and that left you vulnerable. If you were your own person…you would had fought harder, and shine you light over the darkness so it would not kill. Yet, you didn't.'

'……I made Yami…unhappy…? I…I tried to take my life, just because I thought I couldn't live without him…I can't.'

'You want him back. You can't survive on your own. You can, you know. But you do not choose to. Your hold on your darkness has only tightened since he left. Your own selfishness for him and your feeling for him caused your grief and depression to consume you and you hardly even put up a fight…'

'I love him…more than anything. Forever. Matsudai! I don't want to let go!'

Suddenly, a soft hand on each of his shoulders snapped him out of his trance with his inner self, and he looked up as sudden tears started to blur his vision. Chi and Jessica were smiling, their hand on each of his shoulders with a calm look on their face. A look of hope for him; the look of confidence for him; the look of light for him.

"Yuugi-chan…" Chi started and Jessica slightly smirked. "-Atemu's waiting."

Fresh, warm tears streamed down his face as he slowly begun to smile; a true smile, one that he surely thought he wouldn't do again. He tried to, he really did, but that grasp on his happiness was just too light and it slipped from his very fingers.

Now, he could again.

He grasped the light, and was sure never to let go again. He'd never hold something so lightly again; he'd never lose it. He'd always share it.

But it was still reserved for one person…and that very person was waiting just for him. Only for him.

Finally! So sorry if this was a bit sappy, but there was no other way to explain all the crap I just made up in here. Run-off items? WHAT THE HELL! Though, this was the only excuse for Yuugi's rescuer(s) at the beginning, so please don't think it was a stupid idea. Even though it sorta is. But it still made sense, ne?

-sweat drops- Uguu.
