===Yugi pov===

I looked up the stairs to the attic…four days…that's how long it has been since I have seen Yami…I took in a deep breath and went up the stairs. My mind buzzed with excuses of why I haven't been able to see Yami…I don't want him to know I had gotten hurt trying to protect the treasured puzzle…I don't want to lie to him but…I don't know…I just didn't want him to know. I made it to the attic, Yami appear immediately as I came in.

"Yugi, what's wrong did something happen" he asked

"I was sick…" I said

"…You are lying Yugi" he said

"No I'm not, I was really sick" I said

"Yugi, I would be able to hear you if you were sick. But you weren't even here, so please tell me the truth" he said

"…promise you won't get mad" I said

"I won't Yugi" he said

"…Some kids tried stealing the puzzle…I wouldn't let them…so the beat me up…and I had to stay in the hospital…" I explained

Yami's eyes widen in fear, he stood frozen. I whimpered softly and looked away, waiting for the yelling to come but it never came. I suddenly felt wrapped up in a cold embrace, I looked to see Yami hugging my tightly with tears falling out of his eyes. I slowly hugged back and began to cry also.

"I'm sorry, I am so sorry Yugi…I shouldn't have given you the puzzle if I know it was only going to hurt you" he said

"It's not your fault Yami…it was Kazuo and his friends" I said

"Either way, I caused all of this…I shouldn't have been so stupid" he said

"You are not stupid Yami" I said

"Yes I am, I should have known this would happen again" he said

I looked into Yami's eyes with a confused look.

"What do you mean again" I said

"…I…I don't want to talk about" he said

He let go of me and disappear without another word, I looked around trying to find where Yami had gone. But, he was nowhere in sight, I whimpered softly and called out his name one more time…but it was useless…he wasn't going to talk to me…I slowly went down the stairs, I saw my grandpa waiting for me there.

"How did it go" he asked

"…Yami said he had done something stupid again but, he won't tell me" I said

"Give him time Yugi, like they said dead men tell now tale" he said

"…do you think he is mad at me for almost losing the puzzle" I asked

"I don't think so, it seems he is mad at himself" he said

"But, why" I asked

"I don't know Yugi, all you have to do is wait" he said

"…alright" I said

"Come on, cheer up. I made some ramen today for lunch" he said

I nodded my head and went into the kitchen and sat on the table, Grandpa grabbed two bowls and placed one of them in front of me. I slowly started to eat my meal…I didn't feel so hungry at the moment. Grandpa sighed softly then stroked his bread.

"I think we need to talk" he said

"About what" I asked

"About your gift" he said

"What about it Grandpa" I asked

"You are not the first person in our family to have this gift" he said

"I'm not" I asked

"No, our family has had this gift for many many generations" he said

"But why does our family have this gift" I asked

"I'm not really sure, some say we have this gift because a thief in our family stole a rare jewel from the dead and was doomed to see his victim forever and others say our family was chosen by a priest to help the dead find peace" he explained

"Which do you think it is Grandpa" I asked

"I think we are to help those who can't move on" he said

"Have you ever helped those you can't" I asked

"Yes I have, I tried helping Yami but he doesn't want to show himself to me" he said

"Why is that" I asked

"It maybe because he doesn't like adults" he said

"Why" I asked

"I'm not sure, I didn't expect for Yami to reveal himself to you" he said

"I'm confused Grandpa, what do you mean" I asked

"I have tried for many years to see Yami but, he doesn't want to show himself. But when you told me that you were able to see him, I was surprised. I think it maybe because you are still a child so he is not afraid of you" he said

"Afraid of me, why would he be scared" I said

"That Yugi is something Yami must tell you himself" he said

"Can't you tell me Grandpa please" I asked

"I am sorry Yugi, it is not my place to tell" he said

I crossed my arms and puffed up my cheeks.

"Dead men tell no tell" I whined

"Don't worry Yugi, things will happen soon" he said
