Yu-Gi-Oh Destinies
He groaned a little, as if he were just hit by a truck. Well he sure couldn't move very well.. But by the time he did work his arms and legs he noticed he couldn't move very much anyways. He was boxed in a tight area. And it was dark, very dark, as he now realized his eyes were open.
But wait a moment, why was he in this small boxed area and why was it so dark? He couldn't figure it out. Actually he was having a hard time remembering anything at the moment, but it all soon came back to him. Well it took a few minutes, or maybe longer.
He then started pounding on the lid, or what he hoped was the lid, of this box. He began screaming and calling out for a certain someone. "Help me! Please someone! Let me out of here!" He screamed as loud as he could. He heard no movement outside of the box. Actually he heard absolutely nothing.
Yami woke up panting. That dream.. it seemed more real then ever.. and he now knew who that person was. "Help! Yami, please!" came a voice from what he thought was his Puzzle. Maybe this time the dream was true.. And that meant that Yugi was in trouble.. and alive!
Yami jumped off his bed and onto his feet. He quickly threw on some clothes and grabbed an extra pair of pants and a shirt with a jacket. He ran out of his room screaming at the top of his lungs, as he heard Yugi continue to scream for him. How he was doing this, he wasn't sure of, except that maybe it was the link they had with the Millennium Puzzle.
"Sugoroku! Wake up! He's alive, he's alive!" Yami shouted as he busted into the old man's room. Nearly gave the poor man a heart attack. After catching his breath Sugoroku blinked and turned on the bed lamp. "What are you shouting about at this time of night?" he asked groggily as he rubbed his eyes.
Yami ran to the old man's closet and grabbed a blanket and tossed some clothes for the man to wear instead of his PJs. "Yugi's alive, and he needs help!" Yami shouted as he picked up the blanket and other stuff he had gathered and ran out of the room, turning the light on as he did. "Hurry! He'll suffocate if we don't!" Yami continued shouting as he ran down the stairs.
He continued to hear Yugi's scared shouts for help, he almost felt his fear, and he knew he wasn't going crazy. He knew that his lover was somehow brought back from the dead. And how he was brought back was something he would soon find out.
It took a little while to convince Yugi's grandpa that Yami wasn't going crazy. Now they were headed to the cemetery, shovels in the car along with a blanket for Yugi, and even a spare set of clothes. Sugoroku was still hesitant of what Yami had to say and felt sick about wanting to dig up Yugi's grave to see if he were correct.
The pulled over to the side and unloaded the shovels and ran over to Yugi's grave where Yami had already began to dig his heart out. 'Don't worry, Yugi. I'll have you out of there in no time!' thought Yami as he continued to throw chunks of dirt and grass to the side as Sugoroku slowly began to dig as well.
It took every bit of strength that Yami had to dig up that hole, as did Sugoroku. His heart quickened as he knew he was now almost done digging so he could get his lover out of there and into some better clothes and a blanket. It wouldn't be long now.
Yugi had began to give up and began to cry lightly. He wasn't getting out of here, he would slowly starve and dehydrate and die once again. He didn't remember much of the after life, except that he talked to his parents and was suddenly sent back here. He was very confused.
He then gave a shaky sigh as the tears silently rolled down his face. Silence, nothing but pure silence. He was really beginning to freak out but that was a natural reaction to his situation.
Then he heard something. It sounded like something scraped the top of the lid. He blinked and heard another, more muffled, noise. Like someone digging dirt. His heart pounded as the hope he almost lost came fluttering back. "HEY! In here!" He shouted as he began to pound on the lid. He didn't know who it was, but only hoped it was Yami. He only hoped that his Pharaoh lover heard him.
Yami blinked as his shovel hit something. Something hard. He almost wanted to start laughing in pure happiness as he again hit the coffin's lid with the shovel as he dug. He then heard muffled screams, and pounding. "Yugi! I'm almost there!" He shouted as Sugoroku blinked at least a thousand times.
He was right! Yami was right about Yugi being alive! He fell to his knees and began digging and whipping dirt away as did Yami. Finally Yami moved over and lifted that heavy lid with whatever strength he had left. He gave a strained groan as the lid gave in and opened.
Yami looked down to see the tear filled Yugi as he blinked and looked up at Yami with disbelief in his eyes. Yami's heart almost stopped at seeing Yugi. "Yu-Yugi?" he asked almost not believing it himself.
Yugi jumped up out of that hellish coffin and clung to Yami, wrapping his arms and legs around Yami's shoulders and waist. "Yami! You came back for me!" Yugi shouted as he again began to cry in the crook of Yami's neck.
Yami almost started crying himself as he slowly put his arms around the boy he thought he had lost forever. Shit, he DID start crying, silently, as the tears rolled down his cold cheeks.
They then heard someone clear their throat. Oh god, Yami forgot about Sugoroku. Yugi blinked and looked up to see his Grandfather standing over them and gained an even bigger smile then he had already had.
Yami looked up at Sugoroku too with tired, happy, and even relieved eyes. He let Yugi go as he shakily got to his feet with Yami's help. He then glomped his grandfather and hugged him tightly, as did Sugoroku. Yami couldn't keep his eyes off of Yugi the whole time either. He was just so happy that he was back.
"Ho-how did you guys know how to find me?" Yugi then asked as he let go of his grandpa and went to standing next to Yami, looking up at him. "We'll explain in the car.. Yami said as he lead the way.
They helped Yugi into the house, seeing how he was bundled up in two blankets. It was now a quarter past three in the morning as they headed up to Yugi's room. Once inside Yugi sat down on his bed.
Yami sat down beside him, admiring him so. Sugoroku took the chair and sat down. "So, you ok now, Yugi?" asked his grandfather. Yugi nodded a little. "Just a little confused about some things but I'm sure everything will be good in the morning." he answered. Sugoroku nodded. "Well, get some rest, Yugi." he said lightly as he stood up and left the room saying, "I'm glad your back." with a smile.
Yugi smiled and nodded. He then looked up to Yami and leaned up against him, wrapping his arms around the other's shoulders. He sighed contently as he took in the warmth of Yami, his familiarlaty, his scent and everything else. He was just so comfortable like that.
Yami fell into his first instincts and held Yugi tightly, and kissed his forehead once. Yugi nuzzled up against his Yami's chest a little before speaking. "I missed you, Yami.." he said quietly.
Yami only frowned a little as he held Yugi a little tighter now. "I missed you too, Aibou.. I've missed you so much..." he said, his voice almost breaking. Yugi looked up to see silent tears escape Yami. A sudden flash of that day in the museum flashed into his head.
~~Yami had now tried to apply pressure to the wound but it wasn't helping any. Yugi cried out in pain, and Yami jumped and pulled his hand back. "Aibou, I don't know what to do..." he said in a panicky tone. Blood began to trickle out of Yugi's mouth now as he again tried to calm Yami, but knew it wouldn't do any good. He tried to speak but only to cough up more blood. "Th-there i-is nothing to d-do.." Yugi said with a small weak smile.~~
He had never seen Yami so frightened, so unsure. He lightly wiped his tears away and shook his head. "Yami, don't cry.. I'm here now and that's all that matters, right?" Yugi spoke softly. He hated seeing his lover like this, it wasn't like the calm and confident person that he knew.
Yami then did his best to calm down as he got up. "Why don't you take a shower or something. It might help your blood pump so you wont be so stiff.." Yami said quietly as he headed out the door. "I'll make you a sandwich for you when your out." he added as he disappeared from sight.
Yugi had gotten out of the shower and put on his old starred PJs. His hair was matted to his head and he blinked, almost wanting to laugh at how weird it looked. Not like he had never seen it before, it was just that he was glad to see such a weird sight again.
He heard knocking at the door and blinked and turned to face it. Yami poked his head inside and looked at Yugi a bit. Yugi blinked once more as Yami had lost what he was gonna say. "Uh.. ya, dinner's ready.." said Yami a little as Yugi could only giggle.
Yami then disappeared from view and waited outside the bathroom for Yugi. He leaned against the wall wondering if he should tell Yugi about this "great threat" now or tomorrow.. his best bet would be tomorrow.
Soon Yugi came out of the bathroom in a pair of his old PJs. The baby blue ones with the baby yellow stars dotted all over the place. Despite the fact that Yugi was almost an adult he was still very child like, which was ok. At least he would never be in any major trouble. And though he was pure, innocent, and childish, he was very mature. More mature then anyone Yami knew of his age.
Yugi Noticed Yami leaning against the wall and sighed some. He instantly clang to him, afraid to let go, afraid this was some torturous dream. Yami blinked as Yugi buried his face in the boy's shoulder and almost wanted to frown. He knew what Yugi was thinking. At the moment he didn't know how, but really didn't care. His Aibou needed comforting, and that was all that mattered currently.
Yami put his arms around Yugi and rubbed his back a little. "Yami.. you are real, right?" Yugi asked quietly. Yami sighed silently and nodded. "I'm very real, Aibou.." he answered. This only made Yugi wrap his arms around Yami's shoulders a little tighter, as if he were his life savor.
Yami sighed a little as he rested his chin on Yugi's head lightly, holding him close. "Don't worry, Yugi.. I wont ever let you go again." he said lightly, still rubbing his lower back a little.
Yugi had stayed the night with Yami in Yami's room. When morning rolled by they didn't know what they should do about Yugi. Would the school suddenly forget that he was dead? Or would they still think that he is dead.. So what they did was just send Yami as always and wait and see.
Once Yami reached the school, he was silent and spacey. Mostly because he was trying to figure out how his lover came back from the dead. Was this Shadi's doing? Or was it the ancient powers he had? He was so unsure!
Joey then came up and poked Yami's shoulder and gave off his "Joey Smirk". Yami blinked and looked up at the blond and raised an eyebrow. "Can you be helped?" he asked almost irritated. Joey just chuckled as he turned to see his love walk into the class in his school uniform for a change. He then looked back at Yami. "So how have you been doing?" he questioned as he then looked more serious.
Great everybody remembered Yugi's death. Yami shrugged, wondering if he should tell Joey and the others. Shit they already knew about the shadow realm, Yami's ancient past, along with Kaiba's, and everything else. "Ok, I guess." he said still trying to make up his mind.
Joey nodded a little. "Well you don't look as tired today." Joey commented thoughtfully. That's because I got my Aibou back, Yami thought to himself. Yami just shrugged though and went to staring at his desk. "Say, Seto, Tristan, Serenity and I were gonna go to the arcade today. Wanna come?" he then asked.
Yami fell silent. Should he say sure and have them come over and see that Yugi was alive again? Well he did have their help and support when Battle City came around. Maybe he SHOULD let them know about Yugi, and this "new threat". He shrugged lightly. "Sure, why not." he said quietly. Joey patted him on the back now. "Good! Maybe you'll feel better after a good couple of hours worth of games!" he grinned. Yami merely shrugged.
The bell then rung and everyone took their seats as the teacher stood from her desk with the attendance book in her hands. "You kids know the drill. Stand up and say, 'Yes ma'am' when you hear your name called." she said with her teacher friendly smile.
She opened the book up and put on reading glasses. She read off the list and random students stood and so forth. "Yami Araizumi?" she then called. Being Yami he ignored the teacher the first time round. She then looked down at the Pharaoh over her glasses with that, 'Pay attention' look. "Yami Araizumi." she said again, her voice more impatient.
The Pharaoh blinked not sure where the last name came from suddenly but slowly stood. "Yes ma'am?" he said quietly. How embarrassing, he thought. He then sat back down and went back to spacing. Then he heard a name he thought he would never hear again in the class room.
"Yugi Motou?" she then called. He had the most confused look on his face to date! Why did she remember about Yugi? He then looked to Joey in searching eyes. Joey, too, looked confused. So.. everyone DID think Yugi was alive... except for his friends? He was totally confused.
The teacher then looked to Yami. "Where is Yugi?" she questioned him. Yami looked back to the teacher, trying to search for an excuse. "Uhh.. sick!" he shouted out. He wasn't sure of what else to say.
Joey, Kaiba, Tristan, and Tea all looked at Yami in a rather baffled manner. Yami looked back to them in a sheepish manner and shrugged. He would definitely have some explaining to do.
Yami had avoided the group for the rest of the day and high tailed it out of school in the jeep when it let out. He drove home, leaving the other stranded at the school. He knew Kaiba would call for a driver for them.
Once he got home he ran pass Sugoroku and into the living room of their house. Once there he knelt over panting like none other. Yugi blinked in confusion from his seat on the couch. "Yami? You ok?" he asked as stood and made his way over to Yami.
Yami nodded and tried to catch his breath. "The... the school... thinks your alive, but the others... still remember your death." he panted. Yugi blinked in a confused manner. He had never thought such a mess would occur.
Meanwhile down in the Game Shop, Joey, Kaiba, and them waltzed in and stopped at the counter. "Oh! You guys must be looking for Yami?" he asked. They all nodded. He let them go up to the house and continued to man his store.
They all made there way up to the living room. But that was when they stopped dead in their tracks. Yami was kneeling over, panting for breath, as if he ran a marathon, and standing over him rubbing his back was Yugi Motou!
"You gonna be ok?" Yugi asked Yami for the second time. Again he nodded as he stood and took in a deep breath and exhaled. He then turned around and froze. Yugi blinked and turn to see what his problem was now.
He then froze as well as the whole group was standing there. Including Mai and Tea! Of course Tea was just tagging along for old times sake and Mai must have been spotted on their way to the house. "Uh.. guys!" Yugi said nervously, gaining an anime sweatdrop. Alot of explaining indeed..
About THAT time Sugoroku stepped in followed by an all too familiar face. "Excuse me, but this boy here said he knows you guys?" he asked in confusion. NO! NOT MORE CONFUSION!
Yugi slapped his forehead as Yami tensed in uncertainty. He wasn't sure if he should lunge out at the new arrival and murder him for all this mess or what! "Shadi!" Tea then shrieked. The others were now ten times more confused then ever and now Yugi was pressing himself against Yami not sure to be afraid of the Egyptian or what. Well, could ya blame him? The last time he saw Shadi he ended up dead only hours later!
Yami then grabbed his head in a massive head ache and groaned. "God! Shadi, this is YOUR doing so FIX IT!" he shouted out, causing little Yugi to jump and eep. Even Shadi jumped back a little and sweat dropped. Oh my.. The Pharaoh was getting a head ache and that meant heads would fly if he wasn't calmed and quickly.
So Shadi had EVERYONE sit down and he began to tell the story from the beginning. Well it started at Yugi's death. He explained how he "TRIED" to prevent it, but it didn't work, and how he gave up his immortality for a short period of time so that he could resurrect Yugi so they could defeat the new evil.
Tea groaned and rolled her eyes. "Not again! As if Pegasus, Marik, Kaiba's step dad/brother, and ex board of directives weren't enough!" she complained. Well, everyone had to agree. They were getting rather annoyed with all these new bad guys showing up going, "HA HA HA HA!! WE'RE GONNA EAT YOU ALL!!". The next thing they know will be Pegasus had a secret son he was too ashamed of popping up going, "You killed daddy! Your all gonna PAY for that!"... (O.o)
This would be a very long and painful thing, they all thought. Oh they were all just DIEING for this adventure. Well all but Yugi. He had enough to do with death for the rest of his life.
Author Notes: O.o; ok, so I'm a dork and I'm working on two different, no THREE different stories at once and accidentally used Yami's last name in my other fic in this one. So now everyone's confused, Shadi's mortal for now, and so forth. Next chapter will come along soon, I promise!
Yu-Gi-Oh Destinies
He groaned a little, as if he were just hit by a truck. Well he sure couldn't move very well.. But by the time he did work his arms and legs he noticed he couldn't move very much anyways. He was boxed in a tight area. And it was dark, very dark, as he now realized his eyes were open.

He ran out of his room screaming at the top of his lungs, as he heard Yugi continue to scream for him. How he was doing this, he wasn't sure of, except that maybe it was the link they had with the Millennium Puzzle.
"Sugoroku! Wake up! He's alive, he's alive!" Yami shouted as he busted into the old man's room. Nearly gave the poor man a heart attack. After catching his breath Sugoroku blinked and turned on the bed lamp. "What are you shouting about at this time of night?" he asked groggily as he rubbed his eyes.
Yami ran to the old man's closet and grabbed a blanket and tossed some clothes for the man to wear instead of his PJs. "Yugi's alive, and he needs help!" Yami shouted as he picked up the blanket and other stuff he had gathered and ran out of the room, turning the light on as he did. "Hurry! He'll suffocate if we don't!"

Yami nodded and tried to catch his breath. "The... the school... thinks your alive, but the others... still remember your death." he panted. Yugi blinked in a confused manner. He had never thought such a mess would occur.
Meanwhile down in the Game Shop, Joey, Kaiba, and them waltzed in and stopped at the counter. "Oh! You guys must be looking for Yami?" he asked. They all nodded. He let them go up to the house and continued to man his store.
They all made there way up to the living room. But that was when they stopped dead in their tracks. Yami was kneeling over, panting for breath, as if he ran a marathon, and standing over him rubbing his back was Yugi Motou!
"You gonna be ok?" Yugi asked Yami for the second time. Again he nodded as he stood and took in a deep breath and exhaled. He then turned around and froze. Yugi blinked and turn to see what his problem was now.
He then froze as well as the whole group was standing there. Including Mai and Tea! Of course Tea was just tagging along for old times sake and Mai must have been spotted on their way to the house. "Uh.. guys!" Yugi said nervously, gaining an anime sweatdrop. Alot of explaining indeed..
About THAT time Sugoroku stepped in followed by an all too familiar face. "Excuse me, but this boy here said he knows you guys?" he asked in confusion. NO! NOT MORE CONFUSION!
Yugi slapped his forehead as Yami tensed in uncertainty. He wasn't sure if he should lunge out at the new arrival and murder him for all this mess or what! "Shadi!" Tea then shrieked. The others were now ten times more confused then ever and now Yugi was pressing himself against Yami not sure to be afraid of the Egyptian or what. Well, could ya blame him? The last time he saw Shadi he ended up dead only hours later!
Yami then grabbed his head in a massive head ache and groaned. "God! Shadi, this is YOUR doing so FIX IT!" he shouted out, causing little Yugi to jump and eep. Even Shadi jumped back a little and sweat dropped. Oh my.. The Pharaoh was getting a head ache and that meant heads would fly if he wasn't calmed and quickly.
So Shadi had EVERYONE sit down and he began to tell the story from the beginning. Well it started at Yugi's death. He explained how he "TRIED" to prevent it, but it didn't work, and how he gave up his immortality for a short period of time so that he could resurrect Yugi so they could defeat the new evil.
Tea groaned and rolled her eyes. "Not again! As if Pegasus, Marik, Kaiba's step dad/brother, and ex board of directives weren't enough!" she complained. Well, everyone had to agree. They were getting rather annoyed with all these new bad guys showing up going, "HA HA HA HA!! WE'RE GONNA EAT YOU ALL!!". The next thing they know will be Pegasus had a secret son he was too ashamed of popping up going, "You killed daddy! Your all gonna PAY for that!"... (O.o)
This would be a very long and painful thing, they all thought. Oh they were all just DIEING for this adventure. Well all but Yugi. He had enough to do with death for the rest of his life.
Author Notes: O.o; ok, so I'm a dork and I'm working on two different, no THREE different stories at once and accidentally used Yami's last name in my other fic in this one. So now everyone's confused, Shadi's mortal for now, and so forth. Next chapter will come along soon, I promise!
