In this story Yugi's alter-ego is already known as Yami. Because it would drive me crazy calling him 'Other Yugi'. Anyways with that, on with the second chapter!
Yami looked out of the window of his and Yugi's room, Yugi had gone to sleep already so Yami took over their body to do some thinking. He hadn't been sleeping well either, he had been very worried about Miho. She was tired all the time and very jumpy, when Jonouchi had snuck up behind her and scared her Miho almost had a heart attack and yelled at Jonouchi for five minutes straight, Miho almost never got angery. She told everyone that she was fine but Yami wasn't so sure. Suddenly the phone rang and Yami check the time on the digital clock on the bedside. 12:00 A.M. who the heck would be calling at this time? Nevertheless, he decided it might be some kind of emergency and picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"Yami-san! Oh thank Kami!"
It was Miho! And she sounded terrified!
"Miho-san? What is it? What's wrong?"
There were a few moments of silence on Miho's side as it sounded like she was trying to get a hold of herself.
"I-I didn't kn-know what to do....I j-just called th-the fist person I c-could think of...P-please Yami-san...y-you have to h-help me....I th-think I'm in trouble..."
Now Yami was very worried. He was pulling on a jacket as he spoke to her. He didn't know why but he felt like he had to help her.
"Calm down Miho-san. I'll be there in a few minuets. Your at your house right?"
"Y-yes...I am...p-please hurry."
"Don't worry. I'll be right there, just hang on."
"O-ok..."
Yami shut the phone out and ran out the game store door and started down the street to Miho's house, which thankfully was only two blocks away.
'Don't worry Miho-san. I'm coming.'
Miho took a few deep breaths to calm herself down as she turned the phone off and put it back in the cradle. Yami-san was coming, if anyone knew what to do it would be him, after all he had gone against the dark spirit before and won. Miho shakily got to her feet and walked into the bathroom. She turned on the cold water tap and splashed some water on her face to make it look like she hadn't been crying.
'Kami-sama...I can't get my hands to stop shaking...'
Miho turned off the water and gripped the edges of the sink in an effort the stop her hands from shaking, but that just made her arms shake instead. She lowed her head so she was looking at the sink
"Why me? Why out of all people....why me?"
'Because your beautiful that's why my love....'
Miho covered her ears again and squeezed her eyes shut as she sank to the cold bathroom floor.
"No! Get out, get out! Leave me alone!!!"
'Even though you called the spirit of the Puzzle he won't be able to help you...'
"Yes he will! He beat you once and he'll beat you again!"
'Grrrrr....SHUT UP!!!'
Miho head suddenly snapped to the left like she had been slapped across her face.
'Awww...now look what you made me do....I really don't want to hurt you Miho....'
"THEN LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!"
'I can't do that Miho....h-ha ha ha....'
Suddenly, there came a knocking on her door and Miho bolted down the stairs to the front door.
Yami was running as fast to Miho's house as he could, he could sense something bad was happening to Miho. He had felt it for a while but now, tonight it had reached it's peak. He was coming up to Miho's house when he heard a shout.
"THEN LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!"
'Miho!'
He picked up his pace and when he reached her door he practically pounded on it. Yami heard someone running through the house and was shocked when Miho suddenly opened the door and hugged him shaking and crying. He didn't say anything, he just put his arms around her and felt how bad she was trembling. It was a few minutes before Miho let go of him and let him in.
Miho led Yami into the living room where they sat on the couch and she continued to tremble, it was then that he noticed a bright red hand print on Miho's cheek.
"Miho...what happend? Who hit you?"
She took a shaky breath and looked at him.
"I'm afraid if I t-tell you...you'll th-think I'm c-crazy...."
Yami shook his head and took her hands into his.
"I don't think your crazy Miho....I'm really worried about you. Please tell me what's wrong so I can help you..."
She took another breath and began.
"For th-the past two m-months...I've been having these dreams...r-remember the dark spirit that came from Ryou's ring? H-he's been coming into my dreams and...."
Miho stopped herself and shook her head, the dreams where just too horrible to remember.
"T-tonight....it's suddenly gotten worse....I woke up from a dream and....I w-was forced to write....I w-wasn't in control of my h-hand..."
Miho got up from the couch and went into the kitchen, she came back moments later and gave him the notebook with the song written.
"Th-that's not my h-hand writing...and...I k-keep hearing his v-voice...and he sl-slapped me...I swear it's happening Yami-san!"
Yami looked at the notebook and could see clearly that that wasn't Miho's handwriting....expect for one part.
"I beleive you Miho."
Miho looked at him with shock.
"Y-you do? Anyone else would think I'm crazy..."
"Well, like him I'm a spirit too...."
Miho laughed nervously.
"O-oh yeah...I keep forgetting...."
Behind Yami on the wall Miho could see a mirror and in it she could see himagain. And well, that was the last straw for Miho.
"NO! I don't want to see him anymore!"
Miho wrapped her arms around Yami and buried her head in his chest.
"P-please make h-him g-go away....."
Yami looked behind him and saw the mirror, he didn't see anything reflected in it but he could defiantly sense some shadow magic coming from there. He raised Miho head so he was looking her in the eyes.
"I'll try to help Miho-san....I'll try my best. Do you trust me?"
Miho smiled a little as she looked at him.
"W-with all my heart Yami-san."
Yami instructed her to close her eyes and he closed his own and focused his energy to the Millennium Puzzle.
'Please, Millenium Puzzle...Help me find out what's wrong with Miho-san.'
The Puzzle lit up with a golden glow and Yami was able to briefly see into her heart, and he noticed something unnatural, a certain darkness that was placed in there, darkness that resembled the evil spirit exactly! The Puzzle stopped glowing and both teenagers opened there eyes.
"D-do you know what's wrong Yami-san?"
Yami nodded.
"I do. It seems before the spirit was destroyed he placed part of his soul into you..."
Miho started to freak out.
"But! I can remove it. And you won't remember anything, I promise. Again, do you trust me Miho-san?"
"I do, with all my heart and soul Yami-san."
Yami placed two fingers on Miho's forehead and again the Millennium puzzle lit up.
"Mind crush!"
Miho's eyes widened as the part of the evil spirit was expelled from her heart and she fell into a deep sleep. The evil was burned away by the puzzles light and Yami picked Miho up and brought her to her room. He carefully tucked her in and kissed her forehead before he left.
"Sweet dreams Miho-chan."
The next morning Miho woke up to her annoying alarm clock and slammed on the button to make it shut up before getting up and starting to get ready for school.
"I got a good nights sleep last night! No nightmares! All though....now that I think of it I can't remember a single nightmare that I've had for the past few months...oh well! I guess that's good news!"
Miho went downstairs after getting dressed and poured herself a bowl of cereal, she plopped down on the couch and began to eat when she saw her song notebook.
"Odd, how did that get down here?"
She picked up the notebook and read a few lines of the song that had been written.
"Hey! This is a good song! I don't remember writing it...and this isn't my handwriting...except for one part. Oh well, I must have been half asleep while writing this so that's why my handwriting is all messed up!"
Miho finished her breakfast and ran out the door with her notebook and hopped on her bike and peddled off to school.
"I can't wait to show everyone!"
Awwww! How sweet! And no more evil Bakura! YAY! Flames will be doused by my water powers. Persistent flamers will be pelted by hail.
