Author's Note: I might actually like Thiefshipping now…. Maybe… XD Anyways, now I'm on to doing a short Puzzleshipping dabble, (So go ahead and ask for this ship again because this one is going to be, admittingly, short. ^^' I'm sorry. XDD) And I hope I can make the best of it! :D

NOTE: I do not own Season 0/ original manga where this takes place! :D If I did, I would have continued the formula and sent Otogi plushies to EVERYONE and randomly ship Otogi/Duke with Roy Mustang for shiz and giggles. XD Anyways!

Pairing: Puzzleshipping (One sided, as far as you know. ;3) (Yami no Yugi=Seme and Yugi Mutou=Uke.)

Title: Revelations.

Time in canon: Yami no Yugi has just killed the punk at Burger World in the manga after a deadly shadow game, so I'm making this later that day at night.

It's horrible, horrible irony that one can feel so empty…. Maybe, lost(?) even when they have a physical form, (Sometimes,) But that's what he felt like as he hovered above the sleeping form of his only means of physical sensory; A stout, peculiar looking boy not unlike himself physically.

But mentally? No, his heart and mind were much purer than his. Much more.

Yami no Yugi sighed and stared out the window above the boy's bed as he watched the passing cars and flickering street lamps below the lofty window of the quaint little house/ game shop in a city called Domino, not understand how he felt at the moment.

He knew he hadn't been awake for long though, no, it had only been a few days, maybe more that he had been awakened from his….. Millennia of a slumber? He honestly did not know and this troubled him.

Why couldn't he remember who he was and how he had gotten to where he was now?

Simple, because amnesia is a frustrating force.

If he could, he would have felt his teeth grit in slight anger as he continued to brood in thoughts, staring from his safe, spirit like perch that only his physical host could see, and he preferred it that way. And luckily, the boy seemed to understand that he knew what he was doing and let him switch when Yami no Yugi pleased and this made him feel slightly grateful so that he in return, could rid the slime and blood of his challenging enemies from their path. Bastards, all of them trying to harm his host, the boy holding his, "prison," that odd puzzle full of screams and swirling, choking shadows that seemed to eat away at what little sanity he was gaining back from being asleep for so long.

It admittedly shook the prideful spirit to his core just thinking about having to go back there.

Maybe that scum that tried to hold up that eatery today will finally understand what those like I and before myself feel in the shadows- the shadows of games held past, Yami no Yugi thought with a grim look on his face as his already serious gaze narrowed in a bit of bitter anger, A deserving penalty put on the soul for trying to trifle with I and my physical host.

His host…

The boy with the pure heart, mind, body, and soul….. He didn't understand. This boy seemed to attract unwanted attention from people that weren't the same standard of purity as him, and they seemed to have bad intentions… The bully, the newscasters… Horrid people that deserved the punishments best suited to their sins….. It made him almost smile at the thought of them burning further and further in their own self inflicted Hells…

But why did he cast punishment, like a judge when he felt somewhere inside himself, deep down that he wasn't a form of justice. That he wasn't a weighted scale that held the sins of those he judged and weighted their crimes so that he could serve a punishment-a penalty on their hollow minds and souls.

No- He wasn't-he couldn't be could he? Was that why he was locked in that prison for so long, with all those tearing shadows, with all those screams, with all that loneliness? With no fond memories to keep him company or family and friends to comfort him?

Or was there a deeper reason…. That-that he was suppose to protect something-no, someone from imminent dangers ahead? Someone who didn't have enough brutality to send punishment towards others that obviously deserved it?

Or was it not punishment….. But rather confidence the shy, timid and now only getting more sociable boy needed?

Sighing in slight frustration at his own confusion, if the spirit could sense any physical touch he would've realized that he was now hugging himself in a bit of anguish as his eyes had drifted from the window down to the sleeping form of his host.

Violet eyes gazed at the sleeping form with an odd feeling washing over said orbs, as the spirit stopped hugging itself and placed a translucent hand on the forehead of its host and watched the boy sleep onwards, looking seemingly peaceful.

This action filled Yami no Yugi with something… Something softer, like the downed fur of young animal as he kept his always narrowed and concentrated eyes on the boy's sleeping form before adverting them nervously, his own unsurely plan on his features to no one but himself at the moment.

If I am to be plagued by these thoughts…. So be it. I have waited for what I presume was a long time, and I can wait a little while longer for answers, Swallowing, (Not that he could tell,) he released a hitched breath in his throat before continuing on with his promise to himself warily, I shall protect my host…. My partner the best that I possibly can, whilst judging and releasing the penalty towards anyone sinner that dare trifle with this young boy or I, Lowering his form down closer to look the boy in the eyes if they were open, his body only hovering a few centimeters above the sleeping teen, Yami no Yugi's eyes grew serious as he finished his templar like promise, Shall send them by trial of penalty game to fit the punishment to the appropriate crime. This I swear.

And with that, the spirit moved away from his former, "host," now partner and took to standing guard and gazing out the window once again, making sure nothing was out of the ordinary.

Except for an odd creeping warm looking sensation that the spirit could not see or feel creeping into his cheeks as the night continued forth, both the boy and his partner remaining silent the rest of the night.

Author's Note: Short I know, but I found it a delightful experience writing up Blood Lust Yami! :D Back when he pretty much made people go insane. ^^ How delightful! :D
