~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A New Problem
"Since that whole thing's taken care of, I guess I should get back to my hotel." Hayley said once they'd left Kaiba's gardens and the others had left.
"No way! You're staying with us!" Yugi protested.
"Nah, it's been nice of you letting us stay this long." she started to walk away. "I'll see ya at school tomorrow."
"See ya." Yugi said quietly.
"Do you want to head home Yugi?" Yami asked, looking at his aibou. Yugi nodded and they headed back to the Game Shop.
***
"Grampa, I'm back!" Yugi called as he entered the shop. Solomon looked up from some cards he had got in his latest stock and smiled when he saw Yugi. (DD: Does he always have new stock? Sierra: -.- I reckon so.)
"So, you were okay then." he said simply. "I was worried that something bad would happen."
"Nope! I'm fine!" Yugi replied cheerfully, running upstairs. It was still dark, but it was clear that Solomon had stayed up until Yugi got home. When he got to his room, he stopped when he heard someone laughing.
"Yugi, are you alright?" Yami asked worriedly.
"Did you hear something just then?" Yugi asked curiously. Yami looked puzzled.
"I didn't hear anything." he replied honestly.
"Strange," Yugi said quietly. "it sounded like someone was laughing."
"Maybe you should go to bed." Yami said. "It's been a long night."
"Kay." He didn't bother to change (DD: Would've been an interesting scene. Sierra: O_o;;; DD: ~_~), he just fell onto his bed and fell asleep. Yami sighed tiredly and disappeared inside the Millennium Puzzle.
/Night Yami./
//You've got school tomorrow, so you better get all the sleep you can.//
/Yeah.../ Yugi trailed off as he fell asleep.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------
He opened his eyes to find himself in near darkness. He couldn't see anything infront of him. 'Where am I?' he thought, looking around to see if there was anything there. 'Am I in the Shadow Realm?' He heard laughing for somewhere. "Who's there?" he called into the darkness. A figure appeared as if from nowhere and began to approach Yugi. Yugi stepped back away from him as he drew nearer.
"There's no point trying to escape. I will get you." the figure said maliciously. Yugi continued his retreat, but something then something stopped him. He looked down and saw grey and black vines crawling thickly up his legs. He tried to pull them away, but fell over backwards trying. The figure continued to approach. "Like I said, there's no point in even trying." The vines continued to spread and the figure began to move closer and closer towards him, Yugi being unable to get away...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------
Yugi sat up in a split-second, breathing rapidly, sweat dripping down his face. He looked around the room, and was relieved to see that Yami hadn't appeared to see what was wrong. 'At least it was just a dream.' he thought, relieved. He lay back down and went back to sleep.
***
"Hey Yugi!" Hayley greeted happily as Yugi entered the room. "How are ya?"
"I'm okay, thanks." he replied simply. He sat down rested his head on his hands.
"You sure?" she asked worriedly. "You don't look too good."
"I just didn't get that much sleep last night. I tried, but I couldn't." Yugi sighed. "I just can't wait 'til I get home." he said as he buried his head in his arms. Hayley looked at him worriedly for a few seconds more, then was pulled out of her train of thought by the annoying sound of Joey's voice ringing through the classroom. (DD: Is it just me, or does Joey sound like a kazoo sometimes? Sierra: It's just you. DD: -_-;;;)
"Hey Yug! Hey Hayley!" he yelled happily. The blonde rubbed her right ear with her hand.
"Ow, that really hurt you asshole!" she said irritably. Joey glared at her.
"Well sorry if I'm in a good mood today!" he answered back.
"How much sleep did you get?" Hayley asked, yawning.
"About two hours." he said happily. "But I sure had a lot of coffee!"
"Riiggghhht..." Hayley got creeped out and decided not to talk to him for the rest of the day.
***
"Aibou, are you sure you're alright?" Yami asked as he walked alongside Yugi. He had emerged from the Puzzle after everyone had left the classroom and they were currently walking home.
"I'm fine Yami." Yugi said for what felt like the tenth time. "I told you, I'm just tired." Yami kept quiet until they arrived back at the Game Shop. As soon as he got in, Yugi slumped onto the sofa and closed his eyes for a few seconds. Yami sat down beside him.
//Is there something troubling you?//
/.../
//Yugi...//
/Go away Yami./
//There's something wrong, and I'm going to find out what it is.//
/Whatever.../ Yugi closed his mind link and Yami decided to turn on the TV. (DD: Can he use one? Sierra: I can. DD: ^_^ Problem solved!) A car chase movie was on, which woke Yugi up.
"What are you doing Yami?" he asked sleepily.
"I'm watching TV." Yami replied simply. "It's something to do."
"Okay. I might as well watch it too." By the time the movie had finished, it was getting late. Yugi was looking half dead, so Yami had to nearly drag him upstairs and Yugi fell into bed without even getting changed. (DD: Again I'm cutting the interesting scenes! Sierra: Again you're creepin' me out! DD: ~_~;;;) "Night Yami..." he mumbled as he opened his eyes slightly. He closed them again and fell asleep. Yami smiled and went back inside the Millennium Puzzle.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------
Yugi looked around his surroundings, confused. 'I'm in the Shadow Realm again...' he thought. A white mist was lingering around some parts, but everywhere else was black.
"Hello again, Yugi Moto." Yugi looked around as soon as he heard the same voice as before.
"Who's there?" he demanded. Laughing was heard, almost as if surrounding him. Suddenly, a figure appeared out of the shadows. "Kaiba?! But that's impossible!!" he said shockedly as his face was revealed.
"Are you sure it's impossible?" he said maliciously. His voice sounded completely different to last time. "What if it was the only form I could take in this realm after you defeated me?"
"Ishida." Yugi said, glaring at him. Ishida smiled, then produced his staff from under the hoodless cloak he was wearing. Yugi began to back away, but before he could turn to run, the grey and black vines were creeping up his legs again. Ishida briskly walked up to him, then grabbed him around the neck of his shirt, lifting him off the ground and breaking the vines like glass, with shards flying in all directions. Seconds later, he lowered him down to the ground, smiled maliciously, then hit Yugi around the right side of his head with his staff, sending him flying a few metres. As Ishida was approaching, Yugi hauled himself up and did his best to get away. 'There's gotta be someway I can away from this place...' he thought desperately, his head pounding as he felt blood trickle slowly down the side of his face. 'But how?' He was beginning to get tired, but he didn't want to stop running. If he did, then he'd be done for.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------
As this was happening, Yami appeared beside Yugi to see what was wrong, and was stunned when he saw an injury on his head.
"Yugi, wake up!" Yami shook him, but Yugi wouldn't wake up. He had to think of something...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------
"You can't escape Yugi Moto!" Ishida's voice rang through the area, but Yugi kept running.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!! GO AWAY!!" Yugi yelled as his legs nearly gave way, making him stumble. He immediately began running again. Suddenly, he fell to the ground as something snared his legs. He looked towards his ankles and saw the same vines crawling up his legs thickly, making it too hard for him to break free. He let his head drop to the ground, light-headed from the blow he had received earlier. All Yugi could hear was Ishida's laugh ringing through the entire area as he lay weakly on the ground, the vines creeping higher and higher up his body, beginning to cut into his arms. "Yami..." he said weakly, as the vines spread and tightened around his throat. "Please...help..."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------
"YUGI!! WAKE UP!!" Yami yelled at Yugi, shaking him harder than before as he lay there. "Come on!" It still wasn't working. No matter what he tried, Yugi wouldn't wake up. There were now cuts appearing on his arms and Yami was getting frantic. "WAKE UP!!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------
Ishida's laugh hadn't died down, and all Yugi could do was stare, petrified as all he could see were traces of the vines now travelling over his eyes as they crawled up his face. His vision was now filled with coloured spots, and he was finding it increasingly hard to breath. Light-headedness overcame him, and, as his vision blurred beyond anything he could see, he tried weakly to get away, but to no avail. "Yami..." he gasped, before he lost consciousness and stopped breathing.
