Well, here is chapter 2, day 1. I really hope you like this story. and if you don't, oh well.
DISCLAIMER: Like I said in my earlier chapter, i have permission to write this, and I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yami was lost. Like he had been for a whole year. He just kept thinking about his little Yugi. His darling Aibou. It had been a whole year since the gods had decided that he should be separated as punishment for falling in love with his little angel. Yami loved Yugi with his entire soul. Nothing could ever change that. But then came the awful day when they were taken away from each other.

And now the gods had made a discovery about Yugi. He had the power to destroy them, but that power could only be used if he was to go insane and stay like that for a year. . The gods didn't want to kill Yugi outright, but the only way to make him sane again, was to put him and his yami back together again. And they didn't want to do that, either. But they had no choice.

They called Yami to them and then they started to tell him what was expected of him.

Pharaoh, you are the dark half of the boy Yugi. And that boy has become insane. If he continues like this, the power inside of him will explode and kill all of the gods. We believe that you can help him to become sane once more. If you fail, we will kill him.

But what if I succeed? Will I be able to stay with my Aibou? Will we be able to be together again?

Let us talk about that when the time comes.

No. I want to know now. I won't help you unless I can be with my Aibou. I would much rather like to see him destroy you, but if we can be together again, then I will gladly bring him back to his senses.

Very well. The two of you can be together again if you succeed in making him sane. And only if you succeed. Oh, and you only have seven days to do it.

And before Yami could say another word, he found himself back on the ground. In the real world. But he couldn't sense his little angel. He could, however, sense Joey.

Yami? Is that you? What do you want? Haven't you already caused enough trouble? Yugi has been in a depression ever since you left him. He doesn't need any more harm to come from you.

Joey, it's nice to see you too. Now tell me, where is my Aibou?

I'm not telling you. You have caused him enough trouble.

I am only going to ask you nicely one more time. Then I'm going to get a little less than nice. Now, where is my Aibou?

I told you. I'm not going to take you to Yugi! You are just going to cause him more pain!

And then Yami's temper got the better of him. He grabbed the front of Joey's shirt and dragged him so that he would be at eye level with Yami. Then Yami looked right into his eyes.

Joey, you had better tell me where my Aibou is or I swear I will hurt you.

Bite me!

And then Yami bit Joey on the arm.

Ow! Yami, man you are as crazy as Yugi is. But he never bit anyone!

Tell me where he is.

No. You can go to hell!

I have just gotten out of a place just like it. And you can see that I have trouble controlling my temper. Now, if you don't tell me where my Aibou is, you might not live to see the morning!

You don't scare me, Yami! And I hope you know that you won't be able to find Yugi if you kill me! Grandpa moved the store!

Joey was amazed to find tears in Yami's eyes. As soon as Yami saw that Joey had noticed, he threw him down. Yami was so scared that he wouldn't be able to get to his little angel in time. And Joey had seen the fear in Yami's eyes.

Yami? This is weird. I have never seen you scared in all the time I have known you. What's wrong?

Do you care about my Yugi? Tell me the truth, Joey. Do you care about him?

Yeah, I care. Of course I care about him.

Then what would you do if I told you that he is going to die in one week if I can't make him come back to the real world? I have seven days to make him sane. Seven days to bring him back to his senses. Seven days. And if I fail, he will die.

Are you serious? Yugi is going to die?

Only if I can't find him. I am the only one who can bring him back.

Well, where have you been for the whole time? He's needed you, and you weren't there! Where were you? Tell me that, and then I'll take you to him.

I have been imprisoned in the shadow realm for a year. That was our punishment. And yes I did say our. Yugi and I loved each other. I still love him. But the gods said that was against the rules. They gave us three days to stop the feelings. But one can't just stop loving someone just because they're told to. That's impossible. We were separated because we love each other. And I have been in the shadow realm, thinking about him for an entire year. He is the only thing I have thought about for a year. And I have only just now been told of what has happened to him. And told that I only have seven days to repair the damage of a year. And if I fail, my Yugi is dead!

Wow, the stakes are that high? Then I'm sorry I kept you waiting. Come on, he's this way. Just stop crying, Yami. You scare me when you cry.

Yami hadn't noticed the tears that were rolling down his face. All he knew was that his little angel's life was at stake, and he wanted him to be all right. But when he saw Yugi, he just lost his self control. He broke down and hugged his Aibou and started to cry right into Yugi's hair. He had his Aibou right next to his face and cried. And cried. Everyone who had thought that Yami had deserted Yugi, now knew the truth. Yami loved Yugi. And nothing would or could ever change that.

Yami? How long is it going to take for Yugi to be back to normal?

I don't know. I don't even know if I will be able to make him sane again. I hope I can, but I'm not sure. If I can't, then he will die. We will die, but I care about him, not me. I would gladly die in his place.

If you can't get him sane, how exactly will he-

Joey! Do you think I'm really thinking about how my precious Aibou will die if I don't succeed? I'm only thinking about how to succeed. And when.

But what if you don't do it! I want to know how my friend will die! And I know it will be all your fault, too!

Come closer and say that, Joey! My temper is already on the verge of non-existence, and my aibou is the only one who can calm me down. Now, do you want to say that once more?

But it's true! It's all your fault! If you hadn't left-

Joey, how many times do I have do I have to tell you that I was taken away against my will? If I had had my way, we never would have been apart!

Yeah, but you still had to leave! You could have at least warned him!

I did! I told him all about the dream I had and he said that it was nothing! He didn't believe me when I told him and then he got mad at me because I said that this would most likely happen. I told him that he was weaker than me and that his mind was too sensitive to withstand the insanity. And he didn't believe me! Yami was starting to shout and he was scaring everyone.

Yami, calm down. Tea tried to calm Yami, but she knew that since Yugi was in no position to help, Yami would not calm down at all.

But to the amazement of all, Yugi stirred. He didn't say a thing, but he moved his head just a little. And that was enough.

Aibou? Are you in there? Can you hear me, Aibou? Please, Aibou, show me that you can hear me. Aibou?

But that was the only motion that Yugi made. He didn't move again. Yami almost thought that he had imagined it.

Yami, that was the first time in nine months that he moved without assistance. He really moved! I think he knows you're there!Tristin was getting excited at the idea that Yugi might just make it out of his little funk and become normal again.

He.... You mean that he.... He has never done that? He really knows I'm here? Are you sure?

No, I'm not sure. But there is a chance. And a really good chance, too. Yami? I have a question. Why is it that you have a puzzle, but he doesn't? I thought that you couldn't come out if he wasn't wearing his?

Where is his?

No one knows. That is what triggered his insanity. He woke up and couldn't find his puzzle. He blamed every one of stealing it in the middle of the night, but then we convinced him that you would've stopped anything from taking it off of him. And then he started to tear up his room looking for it. When he still couldn't find it, that was when he started to go into trance like states. He would just stare out of his window at a car tire for hours, or he would stare at the shadow of a tree. After a few weeks of that, he became like he is now. we couldn't tell you what he's staring at now, because when ever we move his head, his eyes go too. But they don't move. Does this make sense?

Yes, it does. I told him that he wouldn't be able to handle it if we were to be separated, but my beloved aibou wouldn't listen to me. And now this has happened. Even though I know it's not my fault, I still can't help but think that I could have stopped this from happening.

Yami, I know what I said, but that's just because I'm scared for Yugi. It's not your fault and if what you said is true, then there's nothing that you could've done.

So no one knows where his puzzle is? Absolutely no one?

Yeah, why? What's so important about it?

It's what keeps us linked. With it we have a mind link. We can talk with out speaking, and I can go into his soul room and see what is really happening to him mentally.

You can do that?

Yes, but only if he has the puzzle. Wait, I have an idea. If I put my puzzle on him.... Yes, it just might work! And then Yami took off his puzzle and put it around Yugi's neck. And then the strangest thing happened. The puzzle began to glow and then it separated into two puzzles. Yugi's puzzle was back! So Yami took his off of his aibou and put it back on. They were back together. But Yugi was still not moving. So Yami decided to go into his soul room.

But when he went in, he almost didn't recognize it. He knew it was Yugi's soul room, but everything was a mess. All the things that had been very well kept were in pieces. The huge Pickachu that Yami had bought for him was in pieces, the wall that had once had a rainbow painted on it, now had peeling wallpaper.

Then all of a sudden, something hit him in the back of the head, knocking him to the ground. When he looked up he saw Yugi.

Aibou! You're all right!

Who are you? Why are you in here? This is my place! No one is allowed in here but me and my yami. Get out!

But Aibou, I am your yami. Don't you recognize me?

You liar! My yami hates me! He put me in here and won't let me come out! He decided to leave me and when he came back, he was awful! I hate him! So who ever you are, you better just get out of here! Go on! Get!

Aibou, listen to me. Please. I have returned to you, and I need you to trust me. I need you to come out of here. I love you, Aibou. You have to trust me now.

I don't trust anyone! Not even my yami! What makes you think I'll trust you? You need to get out of here! Now! And then Yugi started to throw things at yami until he finally left.

So? How did it go? did you find out what is wrong with Yugi? Tristin was ready to start asking questions ever since Yami went into the soul room.

Yes. But the problem is that he doesn't believe I'm his yami. There is another spirit inside of him that is making him think that he is my aibou's yami.

So Yugi is being tricked? But he's smarter than that! He knows the difference between you and some one else! Right?

Normally, yes. But since I was taken away, and this other spirit came, he is confused. He thinks that other thing is me. And he won't listen to me.

Right then, Yugi got up. He turned to look at Yami and instead of being nice, or giving him a hug, he punched him right in the nose.

This is my boy now. Pharaoh, you are not his any more. I own him. And I will destroy you if you try to take him back. I do not care if he dies along with you, just as long as you don't get him back!

And then Yugi sat down again and became quiet once more. The spirit was done talking to Yami. And he had released Yugi's body. But Yugi was still locked inside his soul room.

What was that all about? Yugi has never ever acted like that. Never.

That wasn't my Aibou. That was the thing controlling him. The spirit. That was the....

Yami? What's the matter?

That was a yami. Obviously not me, but it was a yami. That is how it got my Aibou to think that it was me. It is a yami.

Well, who's yami? Where did it come from?

Do you really think that I know? All I can tell you about that thing is that it is a yami! I don't know or care who's it is, or where it came from, all I want to do is make it go away!
