Chapter Two

Yami: I still can't believe you're doing this.

K: Get over it. Anyway the manga this is based on is Kanata Kara. I got my information from a dead site.

Yugi: I see dead people.

K: Yugi!

Yugi: What?

K: Um…. * Shifty eyes *…..nothing. * Eating porky from Hikaru Imonoyama *

Yami: -___- Just read people.

++++++++++++++++++++++

'Oh…. This is too dangerous. I'm scared,' Yugi thought. They were walking on a narrow path around a mountain.

"Aaaaaa," Yugi shouted.

*Just a little more. Calm down, I'm here, * Yami said trying to calm the boy.

'I'd never do this at home but I have to. The problem is I can hardly move. Oh no the wind is getting stronger.'

Yami looked at him then offered his hand to him.

Yugi reached for the hand but suddenly the wind forced him off the path taking Yami with him.

'Yugi won't survive if I let him hit the ground first.' Yami thought then pulled Yugi into a hug holding him tightly.

He flipped their bodies so his back was facing the trees now. The trees slowly broke their fall and they finally stopped landing in a pile of bushes.

* That was really unlucky. Why did I save him didn't I want him dead?* Yami said, looking at his bundle, who had his eyes shut tightly.

"Yugi?"

Yugi looked up and stared at Yami then he blushed.

'His eyes are a lovely color. No, bad Yami, not suppose to think this.'

"I'm sorry Yami," Yugi said then spotted something by his leg. "What's this? It looks like a wheel."

Yugi got off Yami looking at the wheel then watched Yami get up as well and Yugi's eyes widened.

Yami's boots, clothes and bag were all torn up.

"Yami!" Yugi dropped the wheel and went over to check on Yami but what was surprising was Yami's clothes were in shreds but he had no scratch on his skin.

Yugi looked up at Yami and gave him a grateful smile, "I'm glad you're okay."

Yami blinked not sure what to say but he felt warm when he saw Yugi's smile.

* I wish I could understand you, * Yami sighed while Yugi just blinked, confused.

Yugi then saw a man lying on the ground. Near him were a cart and an unconscious horse that was lying on the ground.

'Wow another person besides Yami.'

(I'm changing * talking * to Yugi.)

Yugi tugged on Yami's sleeve and pointed at the man.

"Hmm?" Yami turned and saw the man and approached him.

"He's still breathing. He's not wounded badly. I'll look for some herbs," Yami said after checking the man.

Yugi wanted to follow but Yami indicated that he should stay. Yugi listened and watched Yami leave then he looked at the man.

'Maybe I can learn their language.'

The wounded man groaned then spotted Yugi and began telling him about the bandits, but Yugi couldn't understand.

++++++++++++++++++

For some reason Yami sensed fear and he knew it had to be Yugi so he ran back to see what was happening. 'I hope he's okay….Damn stop it with that thought!' Yami could see Yugi now but there was a man standing near the wounded man.

"There you are!" the man shouted. "So you fell around here, huh. And you have someone with you." He licked his lips.

Yugi stepped back, 'Who is this guy?'

"You should know I'm the leader of the thieves and you tired to escape us, which makes me very mad," he then smirked, "And you're wounded what a pity."

Then the thief kicked the wounded man. Yugi surprised the thief by holding him back, * What are you doing? He's injured. *

The thief pushed Yugi away making Yugi stumble a bit.

"I'll take care of you later," he said then drew his sword.

Yugi's eyes widened, "YAMI!"

Then out of nowhere Yami came out and pushed the thief, who was about to swing his sword at the wounded man.

As Yami pushed him, the thief disappeared, and then he reappeared near Yami not starting him one bit.

"How dare you!" the thief looked at Yami up and down, "You look like a wandering warrior and you're helping that pitiful fool. I guess it's true that wandering warriors defend the weak. So are you going to risk your life?"

Yami drew his sword, "This is really an unlucky day for me, getting into one trouble then into another," then he swung his sword at the thief.

Every time Yami would swing his sword the thief would disappear then reappear near him, but Yami would block him before he could strike.

When the thief disappeared again Yami shut his eyes and concentrated then he swung his sword to where the thief appeared, hitting his arm.

"AAAARGH!" the thief held his arm and glared at Yami, "This is impossible….how could you hit me…. I won't forget this." Then he disappeared then reappeared a few miles away and ran off.

Yami watched him run off then felt something embrace him. He looked down and saw Yugi burrowing his face in his chest.

Yugi looked up at him, * I'm glad you're okay. * Then his eyes lit up, * I wish I could fight like you. *

Yami gave Yugi a small smile then went to check on the wounded man.

"Here this is for sterilization, take it with water," Yami gave the herbs to the man then he walked over to the cart to repair it.

*Let me help you, * Yugi helped the man by bandaging his wounds.

"Hey, you in another language, are you from another island? There are many small islands that live in different societies. I heard the amount of immigration is getting rather large."

Yugi looked up at him, * Sorry, I didn't understand a thing you said. *

'I really have got to learn their language.'

After Yami repaired the cart and woken the horse he then carried the man to the cart.

"Well I think I heard him screaming and searched for the screaming I think he was kidnapped from his island," Yami lied.

"I see," the man said.

Yami nodded, "I found him and defeated the kidnappers and since he doesn't understand anybody he followed me."

"Well his clothes are a little torn and big."

"I asked him to change into my clothes since his others were battered."

"Okay, Ummmm….just a minute," the man searched in his cart, then he brought out some clothes.

"Um, I'm a merchant. I'll sell you these clothes and shoes. What do you think? You can buy them all for just 150 gil. (hehehehe gil from FF7.)

"Hmm…. Too expensive, 100 gil," Yami said.

"Huuh? You'll still bargain with a wounded man like me?"

"What kind of person would charge a person who saved his life?"

"But, a warrior like you wouldn't bargain like this."

"Well, if there's a person like that, please tell me," said Yami as he took the clothes and gave them to Yugi and told him to change.

"Don't' tie up the belt, just wind it around yourself," Yami said.

"Wind….belt….around….self," Yugi tried to repeat.

"It looks like he's trying to learn our language," replied the merchant.

They got into the cart and started to the nearest town. When they arrived at one they immediately went to a doctor. In the doctor's place were many soldiers and most were dead. One was still alive, but was really delirious.

"It was….horrible. That man….horrible," he would say.

*Flashback to the Forest*

A lot of soldiers that were paid to find the Light were waiting outside the forest. Suddenly some men came out from the forest (same guys that were on the flying dragons.)

After the men killed the soldiers then men tried looking for the Light, but then a man stood in their way.

He smirked then swiftly killed the other men then another man came out.

"Otogi, stop it. Don't do this useless killing," said the man who came out.

"Hmph. It's nice to hear the scream of pain. Killing is my job I love it. Arthur you coward of a leader, I'll never obey your pathetic orders," said Otogi.

*End the soldier's flashback*

"Hey, is that true?" the doctor asked Yami. "The merchant said you actually hurt the leader of the thieves."

BAM!

Suddenly the door was opened, three soldiers came in and one of them shouted, "Have you finished the coffins? Tomorrow we leave town, so you have to prepare the cart and bring all the coffins. Damn, how much longer will you leave these dead soldiers on the floor?"

The doctor was about to say something but the soldier interrupted.

"And who are they?" asked the soldier pointing at Yami, Yugi and the merchant.

"They just brought in a wounded man," said the doctor.

"Is that so? A merchant, a wandering warrior and…," his eyes had a glint in them. "An exquisite young boy."

Yami growled silently.

"Search them!" he said to the other two soldiers. Then they began checking the car and Yami's bag while the shouter eyed Yugi.

"Why do they think we're suspicious? We're only wanderers," asked the merchant to the doctor.

"It is said that the Light appeared in the forest but someone has already taken the Light. So everyone is searching for who stole the Light.…the legend is becoming reality. It is hard to believe the Light is in this world and the person who will raise the Dark who still sleeps," the doctor explained.

The merchant's eyes widened, "The legends coming true? Oh my I don't want to see the beast if it ever awakens."

Yami frowned listening.

Yugi just blinked and stood closer to Yami not trusting the lead soldier that was staring at him lustfully.

In another place in the world in a castle people were talking about the Light.

"So even the greatest prophet can't know the Light's face."

"That's right, Mr. Kemo. It's very difficult to predict it," said a blonde little girl.

"Arthur, your grand daughter is really good at reading prophecies. Now tell me why you came back without the Light and giving him to Mr. Pegasus?" said Kemo.

Pegasus was sitting at the back, listening.

"Well we could avoid the weaker monsters but when it got darker more monsters appeared. The monsters were too strong for us. I didn't want my men hurt so I decided to retreat," explained Arthur.

"So someone took the Light from the forest?" asked Pegasus.

"I don't know who did but it was no ordinary man. He killed all the strong monsters that are hard to fight. When we saw the dead beasts, Otogi wanted to find this person and fight him," said Arthur.

"Hmm. This Otogi seems quite interesting. I have to meet him," Pegasus said to Kemo after Arthur and his grand daughter left.

Yami and Yugi were in a hotel; Yugi was looking around in the lobby while Yami bargained for a room. When they finally got a room Yugi noticed that Yami seemed miserable.

*Are you all right? * Yugi asked him, worried.

Yami stared at him then opened his bag taking some clothes out before throwing the bag into a corner.

"Here change into these," he handed the clothes to Yugi.

Yami started changing into his own while Yugi stared feeling his cheeks becoming warm.

Yami crawled into bed after finished changing leaving a blinking Yugi. Yugi then noticed there was only one bed and he began to blush then changed into his clothes quickly.

Yugi slowly crawled into the bed and stared at Yami's face, blushing. He slowly drifted to sleep and unconsciously snuggled closer to Yami.

*Next morning*

Yami woke up feeling a little cold for some reason; he sat up stretching and saw the soldiers departing through the window.

*Good morning, * Yugi chirped.

Yami turned and saw Yugi all dressed up in his leather clothing.

'He looks sexy in leather. Wait! Bad Yami! Bad Yami! Think unsexy thoughts! Think unsexy thoughts!'

Yami sighed, "You woke up before me," then he out of bed. Suddenly, he howled in pain and fell to his knees.

*Yami! What's wrong?!* Yugi began to approach him.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!!" Yami screamed.

Yugi's eyebrows knitted together in worry but stopped where he was.

++++++++++++++++++++++

Yugi: What happened to Yami?!

Yami: Yeah what?

K: Not telling.

Y+Y: -___-

K: All I can say is that you won't die.

Yami: Okay.

K: I really want people to give me questions in my other story Childhood Comedy and Questionnaires, please!

Yami: No, don't.

K: __
