I DON'T OWN YUGIOH!

Sakura: I am so sorry for the wait. I have been having the worst writers' block. I have been writing some new stories done to get my brain working again.

Yumi: Warning there is character death in here

The only thing Atemu's ear heard was not the pleasant sound of Heba's breathing in his sleep, but of horrible screams. Heba woke up and clung to Atemu's arm. Many attacks had befallen the palace and no one knew why, well all except Atemu. These attacks never happened until he kicked out the sorceress.

Teana, a dancer at the palace, ran into the room; tears running down her face. "Sir please help!"

Atemu got up out of bed and dressed in his royal outfit. Heba laid in bed not moving an inch. He had been suffering from exhaustion from flying around late at night protecting the palace. Atemu kissed his lips. "I'll be right back."

He left with Teana to the south side of the palace. Blood from soldiers and guards was everywhere along with body parts. Atemu was soon met with the site, which he didn't want to see. Jou and Seth were fighting two cloak figures. Hondo laid on the ground suffering from a huge chest wound.

Teana yelled Hondo's name over and over. Atemu made her stay back, before going over to the others. A blast of dark energy almost hit him.

Seth sent an attack back and hit one of the figures. A bright light came from above and Heba appeared. He sent a ball of light at the figures, but before it hit they disappeared.

Heba sighed, before he started to fall. Atemu caught him and held him close. "Heba I told you I would be back."

Heba looked up at him through half closed eyes. "I…I thought you would need my help…"

Teana ran to Hondo and kneeled next to him. Hondo eyes were closed and he wasn't breathing. "Hondo! Hondo! Hondo!"

Heba closed his eyes to stop the tears. Atemu sighed, it was hard to lose a friend.

Yami awoke in a sweat. He sat up in bed and held his head. Was that a vision? Things were so confusing now a day.

Yugi stirred beside him, causing Hikari and Ra to hiss at being disturbed from their sleep.

Yami chuckled, before lying back down. He pulled Yugi close and ran his hand through Yugi's hair. Why couldn't he have a normal life?

The phone rang a few minutes later causing Yugi to wake up. He yawned and tried to get up, but Yami held him back. "Let it ring…"

"But Yami, it could be important."

"At one in the morning."

Yugi pulled himself out of Yami's grip and got up. He grabbed his robe and headed out of the bedroom. Slipping it on he walked into the living room to see Bakura and Marik fast asleep on the couch. The two had decided to stay for a few days to see if they could find their lovers from the past. There was no rush for them to go back to Mahado. Maybe Mahado would be paying them a visit.

Going into the kitchen, Yugi grabbed the cordless and hit the button. "Hello?"

"Yugi Mutou?"

"Yes this is he…."

"Mr. Mutou, I'm Nurse Kelly of Domino General Hospital and I was told by a man named Joey Wheeler to call you. We are sorry to inform you but your friend Honda Taylor as died from a fatal motorcycle accident."

Yugi's eyes widen and he nearly dropped the phone. "W-what?"

"I am sorry for your lost."

Yugi shook his head. "It's fine. Thank you for informing me." He hung up the phone and quickly ran back to his and Yami's room. Once there he jumped on the bed and held on to Yami as tears fell down his face.

Yami was shocked by Yugi coming back so sudden. He pulled Yugi's face back to see the tears. "What's wrong?"

"Honda's Dead!"

Yugi hid his face back in Yami's chest as Yami rubbed his back. "It's ok. I'm here."

Yami really started to believe that was a vision not just a dream. Hopefully no more visions like that would come again.

Yugi, Yami, Bakura, Marik, and Yugi's other friends were hanging out at the Kame Game Shop. It was the day after Honda's funeral and everyone was dressed in black. Anzu was on the couch crying with Joey rubbing her back. Ryou and Malik were getting along with Bakura and Marik, talking away in the kitchen. Duke had already gone home to watch out for his own Game shop. Yugi and Yami were sitting up in Yugi's old bedroom. Yugi had his head in Yami's lap as Yami ran his fingers through Yugi's hair.

"Why did he have to die?"

Yami sighed. Yugi had been asking this question over and over. "I don't know…"

"He was a good friend. He was Joey's best buddy out of all of us. I just don't understand why he needed to die so young."

"Yugi don't try and make sense out of it. Things happen for a reason."

Yugi wiped his eyes. "I know. I just miss him. Things will not be the same."

There was a knock on the door and Joey stepped in. "Hey guys."

"Hey…"

Joey walked a little closer. "Uh…Yami could I have a minute with Yugi?"

Yugi sat up and Yami stood up. "Sure. I'm going to get something to drink and see how Bakura and Marik are doing." He left and Joey sat down next to Yugi.

"So how are ya feeling?"

Yugi looked down at his hands in his lap. "Not too good."

Joey put a hand on his shoulder. "Me neither. I have been trying to figure out why he had to die, but now I'm starting to believe it was just his time to go."

Yugi looked at Joey shocked. "Really?"

Joey nodded. "People die everyday. His in a better place, at least he is not suffering like some of us. Anzu really upset. I knew she liked him more than a friend."

Yugi chuckled. "They would have made a good couple."

Joey smiled. "I'm sure they would of."

A question popped into Yugi's head. "Hey Joey. Have you been having any weird dream lately?"

Joey rubbed the back of his head in thought. "Now that you mention it. I have been having this weird dream where I'm a guard and I am in love with a priest." He looked at Yugi. "Why do you ask?"

Yugi just smiled. "No reason. I've been having these dreams where I'm an angel and I'm dating a pharaoh."

Joey laughed. "Let me guess Yami is the pharaoh."

Yugi blushed. "What's wrong with that?"

Joey just laughed some more. Yami walked in with a dr. pepper. "What's so funny?"

Joey just waved a hand at him and got up. "Nothing. I'm gonna go back downstairs to be with Anzu."

Yami closed the door behind Joey and sat back down next to Yugi. "So what was he laughing about?"

Yugi leaned against Yami. "I had asked him if he had had an weird dreams and he said yes. I then told him about me dreaming about you being a pharaoh."

Yami chuckled. "So what are his dreams about?"

"Him being a guard and being in love with a priest."

Yami stayed quiet for a little while. "Did he say anything about an ancient spirit named Jou?"

Yugi shook his head. "From what I can tell. He is only having dreams of a past life. This is just a theory, but what if his spirit isn't strong enough to awaken yet."

Yami wrapped an arm around Yugi's waist. "You may be on to something there. I talk to Bakura and Marik and well they believe that Ryou and Malik are there past lovers. I believe so too. We'll have to keep an eye on Joey, Ryou and Malik. They are having dreams of the past and we will need to explain to them soon about ancient spirits resting in them."

Yugi looked worriedly up at Yami. "Why hasn't Heba awaken yet…I haven't been able to talk to him sense that last time he took me to his world."

Yami placed a kiss on Yugi's forehead. "Just give Heba time."

Bakura, Marik, and Yami were all sitting quietly at Yugi's apartment. It had been a week sense Honda's death. Things were slowly getting back to the way they belonged. Yugi was currently at school with his friends. Yami was worried something bad would happen to Yugi, but he knew Yugi could take care of himself.

Marik was flipping through channels. "Why do they bother going to school? The world is in danger and their worried about their education."

Yami sighed and took the remote away. "They want to make something of themselves. Times have changed Marik. It's not my fault you don't go to school. You used to go to school with me and Bakura."

Marik laughed. "Oh those were good times."

Bakura laughed a little himself. "Yea, remembered that one time we put that frog in the teachers desk."

Yami laughed. "Yea that look on his face was so funny."

Once their laughter had calmed down, Yami looked at them with a serious look. "So what is going to happen once the other spirits have awaken?"

Bakura put his hands behind his head. "Not sure. We need to get in contact with Mahado and see what has been happening. Their spirits may not awaken by the time the battle starts. Heba is the most important spirit out of all of us that needs to be awakened."

"Why?"

Marik looked at Bakura giving him a look that said 'Are you sure we should be telling him?'

Bakura just nodded at him before looking Yami straight in the eyes. "Heba has a power so strong that it can defeat that sorceress in one attack and rid the world of her for good."

Yami eyes widen. Heba was really that powerful.

/Yes he is/

/Atemu?/

/Sorry Yami. I was listening in…/

/So is it really that powerful/

Yami could hear Atemu sigh in his mind. /Yes it is, but there is a price to be paid for using it/

Sakura: Sorry I'm gonna leave you guys here.

Yumi: Review!
