Yami:It's just five reviews. What's so interesting about that?
That's five reasons for me not to do unspeakable things to you!
Yami:Uh...
People want a nice, happy Yami/Yugi fic! They'll get there eventually, but what's a story without...duh duh dun...DRAMA!
Yugi:So, I hate him? Why?
Oh, you know...you think he's evil! Must I explain everything?
Yami:I want to know how you can do this and still have a C average.
Uh, well, it's kinda more like a D - HOLD UP! Nobody wants to hear you two whining! Disclaimer! Now!
Yami:No way.
Yugi:I'll do it!
Good boy. Here, have a candy bar for being the best muse any authoress could want!
Yami:WHAT?! But I thought I was your favorite!
Then do it.

Chapter Two - Hurts Me So...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I hadn't really been dreaming or anything for some reason that night. So when I
heard the soft voice speaking, I wasn't sure if I was finally dreaming or something else
going on. The voice seemed familiar somehow, like I had known it before but it had changed
slightly. It was a sad voice. It said, "Sayonara, Hikari no Tenshi," and then I thought I
heard light footsteps and a door shutting. Groggily, I opened my eyes and sat up. It was
very early in the morning, maybe three-thirty even. Looking towards the window revealed the
storm that had started up late last evening had really picked up since I went to bed. Then
I noticed something odd. There was a chair right in front of the window. I hadn't put a
chair there. It looked like someone had been sitting there to look out the window. But
Grandpa was still on his trip, and he wasn't going to be back for another two days. That
left…Yami. I knew he could go around on his own, though he seemed to prefer not to. I
grabbed the Millennium Puzzle from the peg it hung on at night, and pulled it on, hoping to
get a sense of what Yami had been up to. Imagine my surprise when I couldn't sense him at
all. He wasn't in the Puzzle, and our connection had been closed. I went downstairs,
looked all over the house. The front door was unlocked, not how I had left it after closing
the shop. Yami was gone. My reaction was one of relief. Yami was gone! I didn't have to
worry about him getting out of control ever again! Since I was fairly certain I wasn't
getting back to sleep, I went to make myself some breakfast. It wasn't a school day, so I
opened the Shop at the normal time. The storm had died down some, but no one seemed to be
out. Joey showed up after an hour to prove me mostly wrong. "Man, I'm soaked! Yug, you
got a towel I can borrow?" "Sure, here you go," I said as I gave him the towel. He must
have noticed something, because as he dried himself off he said, "You're looking pretty
cheerful for a rainy day. What's up?" I thought about it for a second, then simply said,
"Yami's gone." "What? He's gone? Gone where?" "Gone away, hopefully for good! No more
worrying about evil spirits, no more Shadow Realm problems, and thank goodness for that!"
Joey blinked, like he couldn't believe I was serious. I was dead serious. I had stuffed
the Puzzle into a drawer the moment I had realized Yami was gone. The Puzzle itself was a
gift from Grandpa, so I wasn't about to get rid of it. Joey had just noticed it missing.
"You got rid of the Puzzle?" "It's in a drawer," I said. "Yami left, and I took it off."
"Yug, not for nothing, but I gotta ask ya one thing. Did Yami leave on his own?" "Yes, so
what?" Joey didn't say anything to that, but after handing back the towel he mumbled
something about meeting up with Tristan and left.

I walked through the storm. Not many people were out and about, with the weather as
it was. It suited me just fine. The last thing I needed right now was other people. I
walked, not knowing where I was going and not really caring. Leaving Yugi was the most
painful thing I could ever do to myself. "He's happier now," I muttered to myself. "He
didn't want me. It's better for him this way." Briefly, I wondered who I was kidding.
Sure, Aibou was going to live the nice, normal live he complained about not having, but what
was I supposed to do? I happen to be an immortal spirit. Besides being a part of Yugi, the
only thing I've ever been was Pharaoh of Egypt. What use was being a 5000 year-old King of
Games in this day and age? As the wind picked up, I hugged my jacket closer around my body
and pressed on. I was cold, I was wet, and I was alone. Only a slight improvement on being
trapped in the Puzzle for centuries. I found myself walking past the entrance to the park,
and on impulse I went in. Nobody was in the park besides me, I noted, as I made my way to a
section completely concealed by trees. There, the branches spread to form a leaky roof.
There was a small boulder in the clearing, against which I sat. It was uncomfortable, but
better than nothing at all. I stayed there for hours, wrapping my arms around myself and
staring into space.

Yami:I hereby protest that you made me a sap.
Yugi:I liked it!
Yami:Because nothing bad happened to _you_.

Okay, let's give it up for reviewers! The bestest people in the whole wide world!
Yami:Flattery gets you nowhere.
What I said before still stands...
Yami:00; Okay, okay! My remarks are withdrawn!
Yugi:What? What did she say?
Yami:Ah, moving along - please review!
