A/N: Lesse! (Let's see) this chapter can depress you a little. I was going to make it a hell of a lot longer, but I wanted to change perspectives, so I added more details. The next chapter should be the last angsty one, I hope, it's depressing me, too.

Chapter Two: Extreme Measures
By: Jinu chan
Yami was extremely excited. He couldn't wait to tell his light about the good news. Although he was sure his emotions of anxiety were getting through, Yugi didn't seem to notice. In actuality, his other half had seemed extremely depressed the past couple of days. It wasn't a rarity to see the little one sit by himself, staring at the night sky or down at the dewy morning grass. Yugi had seemed withdrawn and slightly agitated with him, as well.
'Tonight will change that,' he thought to himself, 'once I tell, he'll be sure to feel better. I am sure it was because of that breakup we had with Anzu. Or maybe it was because of the way his grandpa was acting. That Koharu sure is trouble. Besides her, his friends have been quite busy. I am sure that all he is feeling is some loneliness.'
He walked over to Yugi's bed, to sit down. He knew it was going to be a long day. The preparations were coming along, but there was still a drawback. Yami wasn't sure how he was going to get Yugi out of the house. With him being grounded, there was a slight problem. If his grandpa didn't let him out, he would have to sneak out of the house as quickly and quietly as possible. He needed to take Yugi there, in order to make everything perfect. Yami looked up, 'I will have this happen, even if Yugi doesn't agree, I must tell him.'
Bored on the bed, Yami went to walk around the house. The game shop downstairs was closed, because no one was there to run it. Yugi wasn't permitted to because he was grounded, and his grandfather was running errands. The kitchen was freshly stocked with new foods. Yami put away all of the cleaned dishes, and continued on his tour. He went to the family room, next. The TV and VCR were the same ones that Yugi had had when he first dueled Pegasus. The room, slightly darkened reminded him of the shadow realm, and how quickly he could travel through it, going to any point in the world.
Yami completed the expedition by returning to Yugi's room. The room was so neat and organized. Everything had it's own place. Yugi didn't like too much clutter, and even in the summer, the room was impeccably clean, even the trash can seemed to have some sort of sparkle to it today, almost like something inside of it was glowing. Yami sat on one of the chairs in the room when an odd thought came to him, 'where IS Yugi?'
He retraced his path around the house quickly, each step making him even more nervous than the last. Yugi never ducked out on a punishment, even when he didn't commit the crime. It was against his way of life. One time when he had accidentally spilled something on the rug, he stayed up in his room even after he was told to come out, and he was forgiven early. He did his whole punishment first. He wanted to wipe the slate clean each time.
Yami had checked the whole house, top to bottom except for one room. 'Why would he be in here?' he wondered as he walked into his grandfather's room. He went across the room. "Yugi?" he asked. "This isn't funny." He opened the closet, but there was no Yugi. He decided that the last place he could be was under the bed, hiding from his darker half. Yami crawled underneath it, but couldn't find him. He crawled out, but hit his head on the way up. Something fell off of the bed on impact, and after he was done rubbing the new bruise, he read it.
"Grandpa, I'm so sorry I left. Honestly, I didn't want to leave my punishment, but I just can't take it anymore. I'm sorry I don't have the guts to face my problems anymore. It's almost as though everyone is against me, anyway. I just wish you knew that even if you were wrong, I still loved you. I'm sorry for making any of you sad, but I doubt I will, considering the way you've been. I know I am taking the coward's way out, but maybe, in my death, you will all find some sort of happiness, at least that's what I think you all should do.
All my love,
Yugi"
Yami stared at the paper, unbelieving. Yes, it was Yugi's handwriting, there was no doubt. It couldn't have been anyone else, he knew that it was himself who Yugi was mad at. What had he done to drive him away? Why was he giving up without facing him? What had he done wrong?
//Yugi?// he cried. He hoped that there would be some sort of response. Communicating with his light in that way had never been a problem even in distances. But Yugi might just ignore him anyway. //Can you hear me?//
/Leave me alone Yami, I'm busy right now./
//Where are you?//
/That is none of your concern./
//You should be at home.//
/Why? I didn't steal that money./
Yami was getting flustered. He couldn't figure out anything by Yugi's tone of voice or inflection. He decided to return to his spirit room. He entered it, but there was something missing. Yugi wasn't wearing the millennium puzzle, his spirit room was useless without it. He realized that that was the glimmer in the trashcan in his room.
//Why aren't you wearing the puzzle.//
/Because I don't want you to get inside my head anymore. We aren't one in the same like we used to be. I don't need you to come out and help me./
Yami was shocked by the cold attitude Yugi was giving him. He didn't known what had gotten into his little light, but it was definitely not good. He just wanted to be there by his side. //Please just tell me where you are.//
/You'll just come here./
//Yes, and I will go there and get you. I have to stop you before you make a horrible mistake and do something that we would all regret.//
/You... you found the note?/
//Yes.//
/You'd be happier that way anyway. Guess what? It's too late, anyway, the train just stopped, and I am getting off. This is it, Yami. I'm done with this. No more. It ends here. Now, please excuse me or I'll be the last one./
//Yugi...//
Yami thought about Yugi. Where would he go to do the unthinkable? Where would he go? Where? A thought flashed in his mind. Even if he knew where Yugi was, he wouldn't get there in time to save him. The thought made him sick inside. He needed to hep him, but he couldn't even get there. Yugi sounded too serious, and his actions seemed to have been thought out, and perhaps even calculated. Yugi wasn't the type of person who woke up one day and said, "I think I'll kill myself." He was going to do it, and there wasn't going to be any stopping him.
The pharaoh needed to help his light side. He needed to be there with him. There wasn't any question in his mind, he would do anything necessary to save that side. He would not fail.

That's it for this chapter. It would have been longer, but I want the upcoming scene from Yugi's POV more than Yami's.
Don't forget to review!
