Autumn: I'm back like I promised!

Rika: That's just because you can't sleep.

Autumn: Forget me Not was a really scary movie.

Rika: Don't forget to explain. (Hehe)

Autumn: OH YEAH! So everyone who's reading my story, I created this because I wanted to show the bond between Hikari and Yami. Think hard about a yin-yang. Here it is.

Yugi: It is a yami's duty to protect their hikari from the shadows.

Yami: And a hikari is there to keep their yami's from turning into the shadows that they control.

Rika: Not your best.

Autumn: XP mmllmm. Yugi, please do the disclaimer.

Yugi: Autumn has not, and probably never will own Yu-Gi-oh!

Paradise is how everyone describes the otherworld. I think that's a lie. Even with my ancient friends and family surrounding me, all I can think about is my light, Yugi.

My decision was a very foolish one. Why in Ra did I not spend a lifetime with him? Ever since my hikari had solved the millennium puzzle, my everlasting gratitude shifted and morphed into a type of passion I had never felt before in Egypt. I did not just want to make love; I wanted something that would last. I wanted to fall asleep next to my koi and wake up beside him in the morning.

As I stare into the seemingly endless sand of my 'heaven', I realize what I left behind. I destroyed the chance to be alive. My actions have led me to abandon my new friends and Yugi. Yugi, my sweet, innocent light. I quickly exit the throne room I'm in and head to the library.

I rush down the white earthen hallways and practically burst into the quiet space. Surprisingly, the same people who greeted me to the afterlife are gathered once again. My father tries to begin to tell me something, but Seth interrupts him. "You can't go back Yami; you've already crossed that bridge and burned it." I set my crimson glare in hum. "Seth, I have to go back." For some reason, my arms are starting to hurt. "Yugi is the other half of my soul. Without him, I'm starting to fall to pieces." Now my arms are on fire because of the pain. Everyone gasp of horror follows my own. Deep cuts are appearing on my arms, allowing dark blood to seep out.

Mana pushes me into a chair before I can fall to the floor. What the hell is wrong with me? As suddenly as the cuts came, they vanished. The crimson liquid is still there. When my pain lifts away, I feel a dying presence in my head. The mind is so familiar I want to scream from horror and joy at the same time. Horror overpowers. Yugi is in a horrible pain. I lean over the chair and vomit; he did it on purpose! My sweet, innocent, pure light, my Yugi, raked a knife across his pale, thin arms until he... "He's still alive, Seth, I don't fucking care about rules, my hikari is being overtaken by shadows!" Before I let anyone attempt to sway my decision, I leave the room in a dead run.

Yugi's thoughts are mind numbingly terrible. While I have been enjoying my paradise, he has been fighting the shadows alone. Our group of friends left him in his time of need. That leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Joey promised me he would take care of him.

I arrive at the hall of the gods. Inside are the gods, in a magnificent and terrifying circle of golden thrones. I cannot think of a way of how to ask. The act would be a slap in the face and more than likely thought of as treason. To brave myself, I think of Yugi and the secret love I have for him. I enter the hallway with a determined goal set in mind.

One hour later.

"Go to him," the sun god said. The rest laugh at my shocked face. "Save him. For I want to eventually meet this bright spirit. I bow and feel a familiar darkness surround me. My body freefalls into open space.

Once you get used to falling, it is quite incredible. Wind tries to tear through you, yet you are still whole. My stomach is settled in my throat. Honestly I feel giddy and lightheaded.

A life threatening thump is followed by ear numbing silence. It's cold once again in Domino. A faint memory of Yugi smiling and laughing in the snow hits me hard. As fast as the avenging spirit I am, I race against time to save Yugi.

Yugi

All I can think of is pain and loss. I woke up nearly ten minutes ago, surrounded by my blood. Dizziness is making me want to throw up. I must be finally dying. I can barley even react when an angel breaks down my door.

Yami

When I reach the game shop's back door, I do not hesitate to rush in. Horror fills me to my core. Yugi is lying on the pristine floor, surrounded by a pool of crimson and tears. "Yugi!" He hardly shifts his fetal position. I ignore the bloody mess and gently scoop him in my arms, much like a newborn baby. My tears fall onto his own trail of tears. "Yugi?" I quietly murmur. His amethyst eyes open, sending a rush of joy throughout me.

No one's point of View

It's a dream. A sick lie to see him again. Why can't I die? Yugi thought, gazing at his yami. The hikari thought fate was playing a sick joke on him. Yet, as Eve ate the apple, he couldn't resist the temptation. He reclosed his gemlike eyes and asked in a hovering whisper, "Are you really here?"

"Yes my light. I will never leave you again. I'm with you."

A/n

Autumn: So, my first story.

Rika: Autumn, tell.

Yami: If you want Autumn to write a lemon, ask. PLEASE. (Autumn slaps)

Autumn: the story isn't finished, but if you would like that fruit, I would be glad to try.

Yugi: Please review so Yami won't send Rika to the shadow realm.

Rika: Hell no. So Autumn, Im hijacking your reviews.

Autumn: NOO! People's choice!
