I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh! If I did, Yuugi getting stolen by the soul stealing card would not have been the saddest thing in the anime...I would have added many, many more sad things! *sulks in the emo corner* Kazuki...why won't you give me the rights?

The Unknown


"Hey, Yami?" I asked quietly, looking up at the cloudless, night sky. The stars laughed, blinked and twinkled back at me like the idiots they probably were, giving the dark sky a mysterious gleaming light—a mystery waiting to be found. I let my legs dangle over the side of the ten story high building and breathed in the cool autumn air. "Do you ever think about it?"

I felt the warm weight of Yami's arms suddenly drape over my shoulders.
"Think about what?" He asked, a slightly bored tone in his voice, as always. I felt his warm breath blow by my ear.

"Just…everything," I replied, a slight smile on my face. "Have you ever thought about…this? Like the whole world…and beyond the world?"

"Of course I have, Yuugi," I could feel Yami's smirk. "We've saved it before, you know."

"I know, but…" I sighed. "Have you ever thought about how incredibly small we are compared to everything else?" I settled back against him, never taking my eyes off of the sky. "Think about it…we are just two people in a world of billions. Our world is just one of many worlds in the solar system….our solar system is just one of many solar systems in the Milky Way Galaxy, then the Milky Way is just one galaxy in a endless sea of other galaxies that span all across the universe…and the universe is continuously expanding. Even if we weren't here on Earth, it would still expand. It doesn't need us to do that. We are just along for the ride. It's always moving furher and further…into the unknown."

"Yuugi," Yami sighed and pulled away from me. I looked over at him just in time to see his square rubies roll upwards. "You are so weird…you think too much about things."

"Do I?" I blinked and looked back to the sky. I gave another sigh and leaned back on my hands. We were silent for a minute. "You know…" I started, my voice almost a whisper. "It's just so…scary. It's so hard to wrap my mind around the idea of the universe going on and on without anyone else's help…Surly it has to end sometime--everything does eventually. Thinking about it…thinking about the unknown…It scars me."

"Then don't think about it," Yami suggested, lying down on his back. He laid his head on top of his arms and watched me.

"I can't help it," I offered him a small smile. "It's just so…amazing. It really is hard to grab the concept of it."

"You know," Yami said, facing at the sky and closing his eyes. "That's why they call it, 'the unknown'."

I sighed, frustrated at his laid back way. I looked down at the ground and saw a dark mob of people standing by the building. I held back a laugh.
"It seems that they think I'm suicidal," I told Yami brightly.

"They'll get over it."

"Do you think anyone would miss me if I did jump?"

"Hnn?" Yami opened one eye to look at me.

"Those people down there…" I bit my lip. "Would they miss me?"

Yami sighed and sat up, placing his chin on his knee and looking at me.
"Probably not."

I was silent for a minute, and I looked back to the sky.
"You would, right?" I turned to him so I could watch his expression.

He let a shoulder rise and fall.
"Possibly."

"Aw, don't be like that," I grinned at him. "You would miss me, and you know it."

"…Possibly," He repeated, trying to look indifferent.

"What would you do if I jumped?" I was shoked to see a sudden, unexpected shift in his expression. He quickly covered it back up with a bored look. I pressed on. "Yami. What would you do if you saw me on the ground…dead."

"It doesn't matter," Yami snapped, surprising us both. He took a breath and softened his look. "It doesn't matter, Yuugi."

"Why not?"

"I wouldn't let you hit the ground," He stood up, and I could hear the ringing promise in his words. "I would catch you before you could."

"You're so sure of yourself and your freaky shadow powers, aren't you?" I asked, trying to tease him to lighten the mood.

"Yuugi," He said, and I was forced to look up at him as his hand lifted my chin. "I would catch you."

I smiled up at him.
"I know you would—" There was a sudden yell, and we both looked over the side of the building. "Oops…" I laughed. "I didn't mean to scare them so much." I pulled my legs from over the edge and stood up.

"Let's go, Yuugi," Yami said, already settling back into his bored tone. I nodded and followed him to the roof door.

"You know," I said quietly, causing him to stop and look back at me curiously. "I trust you. With every part of myself." I grabbed Yami's arm and pulled him to me. Our mouths found each other quickly, and Yami wrapped his arms around my back, holding me against him tightly—like he was afraid to let me go. Yami's mouth was so warm and alluring, it took everything I had to pull away. But after I did, I smiled at him, and became overjoyed when a rare smile shined back at me.

"You'll make sur nobody will remember, right?" I asked, pulling his face closer to mine until we were only an inch apart. I could feel Yami's breath span across my lips. Yami nodded, and I smiled. "Good, because I want to know what it feels like."

"What it feels like to step into the unknown," Yami says, understanding me without having to try. He let his fingers trail down my jaw.

"Exactly." I pressed against him in one more deep kiss. I quickly pulled away and ran to the edge of the building, holding my arms out like a plane—as if I could actually fly away.

Yami watched me as I threw myself into the air, and I finally realized what it felt like to do…

The unknown.


I bet you all are all confused...*sighs* Don't hurt yourselves thinking about it.
