Sorry for taking so long, but I spent a while trying to come up with this chapter, and I think you'll be surprised by the outcome. Enjoy~!
Previously: Though another part enjoyed this… that part was sighing in contentment at finally being able to rest peacefully. That other part, was Yuugi's soul, intertwined within Yami's.

Chapter 9 - Bad for Me
Yami rocked backward, stumbling to the floor into a kneeling position. Slowly breathing, Yami groaned, the agony and exertion of force needed to execute a marking was unimaginable. There was still one thing left to do. Grimacing, Yami lifted to his feet, stumbling towards Yuugi. That look of final peace resting on the boys face made Yami's heart leap to his throat. Closing crimson orbs, he knelt forward, collecting the boy in his arms. Just like the day he came here… Yami pushed away his thoughts. If he began to think like that, Yuugi would never leave. Yes, it would be nice but that wasn't what this Yuugi would want.
Pushing through the doors, the golden emblem of the Horus eye glowed with power passed down to him. Instantly Mahado was there, sharp eyes asking the question of why his Pharaoh had called him. Proffering Yuugi to the magician, Yami placed the boy in his trusted friend's arms. Slowly pulling away, Yami moved forward, and the pharaoh's magician followed diligently behind his master. Reaching the door, Mahado glanced curiously at Yami. The ancient demon usually went out at night, but why did he want to go now, especially with his Hikairi? Opening his mouth to question Yami's actions, his words were lost on his tongue. Crisp red eyes, wavering with water, stared towards Mahado.
An understanding passed between them, some-how silently. No words given in order, only the silent treading through the night as they passed through the gate that caged them to the castle. Instantly a waver flashed through the air, and all around them buzzing noises and other such things spread. Creatures surrounded them, all following the pharaoh as he led them on. Yuugi's conscious mind was confused, but the rest of him was to deep in slumber to say anything. Slowly, Yuugi drifted away entirely, the previous darkness engulfing him totally and completely.
Deep regret surged through Yami's chest and slashed against his heart that had been so happy just a few seconds ago. Slowly he stopped, and turned around. Demons – his demons – were there, all ready and prepared to serve him. One of them came up to him, the fluff surroundings it's originally scaly body making the creature seem harmless. Smiling warmly, Yami laid his hand on the fluff balls head, leaning over to kiss the creatures' forehead. Leaning closer to the ear, he whispered instructions to the creature, and then handed over a card. The card had the same creature on its cover, and the demon-creature was shocked and rather surprised, making its sound of question.
Yami shook his head, and turned to Mahado. The magician nodded in understanding, setting Yuugi down so the small demon could pick up the boy. Walking next to the demon, Yami drew the pyramid shaped pendant from around his neck, and placed it around Yuugi's next. Once the odd fluff ball creature picked up Yuugi wings bloomed on its back and off the creature went, leaving the pharaoh and his other minions behind.
"Pharaoh, are you sure this is the right thing to do?" Mahado's voice broke something inside Yami, and the tears that had collected in his eyes finally fell.
"For me, no, for Yuugi… yes." His voice cracked, and Yami felt a blockage build up in his throat. "He- he needs to go home."
Mahado stared off where the creature disappeared, "And you sent Kuriboh with him." A shallow nod, "Are you sure that choice was wise. Wouldn't my apprentice have been a better choice?"
Yami sighed, and turned away. The tears still fell from his eyes, but he trudged back the way he came. "Kuriboh and Yuugi have always had a special connection, and this is what I'm hoping will not change." One glance back and Yami shimmered, disintegrating in the night air.
Yuugi yawned, eyes fluttering open as he was met with inside of his grandpa's shop. Blinking in confusion, Yuugi shook off the feeling of nostalgia as he hopped out of bed. A glimmer of gold, and the extra weight on his neck caused Yuugi to glance down. Gasping in surprise, the pendant the pharaoh from his dreams usually wore was now around his neck. A pull in his chest, and Yuugi felt like breaking down. Something was wrong, the pharaoh never existed, and yet-… A ringing snapped Yuugi back to reality, and he picked up the phone with his usually quirky personality.
"Solomon's Game Shop, may I help you?" There was silence for a short moment until a blaring voice made Yuugi wince, and almost drop the phone.
"Yuge' is it really you?" Holding the device away from his ear, Yuugi laughed.
"Yeah Joey, it's really me… why?"
A pause, and a hesitant voice responded, "Well Yuge' you've been gone for a month… and every time I call this number no-one answers." The fingers which gripped the phone loosened.
A month- he'd been gone an entire month? How was that even possible? Stepping back from the phone, it swung loosely on the cord, landing and clashing against the wood. He'd only been gone a week at best, being gone longer would've just been-! A muffled yelling came from into the phone, Joey was trying to get a hold of him again. Trying to calm him down…
Picking up the phone, Yuugi fained ignorance, and pretended not to be so affected by such a surprise. His eyes held the true story however as memory after memory resurfaced. The week of running away from reality, the days of hiding from beast- demons, little food, little protection against the weather… the pharaoh. Whispering little rumors into the phone, Yuugi's mind refused to pay attention to the beating of disappointment in his chest, the continuous pull on his emotions that made him feel physically and mentally drained.
The pharaoh had left him…
