Title: The Lost Eudoxia Author: Ash Knight Pairings: Yami/Yugi Warnings: Lemon & Sap Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Characters but I did come up with their alternate names and I do own Eudoxia. Acknowledgements: I would like to thank Princess Vegena for her encouragement and friendship. Without her I would have never of begun to write yaoi, and therefore all these fics would not have been possible. Vegena I'll love you always . . . .
Yugi had no idea what to say. Who or what was Eudoxia? And what did she have to do with the shadow realm.

"I'll have to explain it all on the way. Here take my hand" Yami said as he offered Yugi his hand.

Another great cloud arose around them and they were soon wrapped in it, almost like a blanket. Yugi suddenly felt a great force pulling him forward as if a hook had caught him and was pulling him forward by his navel. No sooner had he closed his eye had the sensation stopped. He was no longer inside the Puzzle. They were now in the shadow realm. But the realm was nothing like how Yugi had remembered it. They were standing in a clearing next to a great forest. The sky was a beautiful blue, and a mixture of red and yellow in the direction of the sun. Sensing Yugi's confusing and amazement Yami began to explain:

"This dimension has many places. Before you saw the place where Pegasus brought you to finish your battle but here, the shadow realm is a Utopia."

Yugi smiled in further amazement, which made Yami laugh a bit.

"Come on we have t get going, we should be thought the forest by the morning, which means we'll have to spend the night," Yami said as he began to walk into the forest.

Yugi followed and as he did so Yami began to explain about everything that was happening.

"I honestly can't remember my past. But I do remember about Eudoxia. When I locked the magic of the shadow game away in the Millennium items, I also locked away the monsters. In doing so I exhausted almost all of my power. Exodia was the last monster I was able to lock away. But what no one ever knew was that Exodia had a mate. She was just as strong, and depending on the one who controlled her she could be even stronger. I had almost no strength left but somehow I was able to lock her away. You see unlike Exodia, Eudoxia could change her form to reflect the inmost desires or fears of her master. When dormant she was a great orb of light. I had no power left to lock her inside the tablets like you saw with the others. So I locked her away inside a shrine. The shrine is well hidden beyond this forest. Past a village where I have placed loyal guardians to watch over the shrine. The wall Bakura saw revealed the location of where to find her and how to set her free. By tomorrow we will have reached the village and then make our way to the shrine. If luck is with us we should be able to stop Bakura from releasing Eudoxia. I doubt that even he could control her."

Yugi was shocked at what he had just heard. How could a monster, more powerful than Exodia exist? As they continued through the forest Yugi asked questions about Eudoxia and it became ever clear that if Bakura was to release her. He would be unstoppable. As the day continued they made there way through the forest until it was almost sundown. They finally came to a clearing at the base of a beautiful lake with a waterfall.

"We can make camp here for the night. I'm going to go out and look for some fire wood and something for us to eat, ill be back before the sun goes down. Stay here and I'll be back soon," Yami announced.

Yugi agreed and Yami was off. As the sun went down Yami had returned. He had made his shirt into a bag and inside of it he carried fruit, and with his free hand he held a small pile of wood to start a fire with. When he put the wood and fruit down he called out to Yugi but could not find him. He walked closer to the lake only to find Yugi's clothes thrown in a pile near the lake shore. Suddenly, Yami was pushed into the water before he could turn around and look for Yugi. When Yami came back up he saw Yugi before him, wearing only a playful smile.

"Come and catch me if you can!" Yugi said and he took off into the trees near the lake. Yami ran after him laughing all the way. Yugi had somehow managed to elude Yami as he tried to find Yugi. Finally Yami had given up and went back to the lake. He went over to the tall bank that was closest over the water. He looked down and suddenly He was pulled down into the lake. Yugi had somehow sneaked back into the lake and had once again drenched Yami. They both laughed as they made their way back to the bank. Just as they had reached the bank, Yugi reached out and grabbed Yami. Yugi kissed him sweetly and caressed his chest. Yami slowly let himself be guided down to the ground as Yugi began to undo his pants. The wet pants were quickly pulled away and now Yugi began to slowly pour water over Yami's chest with his cupped hands. He rubbed at Yami's body and slowly reached down once more at Yami's penis. Yami closed his eyes to concentrate only on the pleasure. Yugi began to suck at Yami's erect penis savoring Yami's taste. Yugi took the penis out of his mouth and stroked it, and began to suck and lick the scrotum. This continued as they both tried to prolong each moment. Finally Yami was primed and explode in Yugi's hands Yugi quickly rinsed off his hands in the water and then lifted Yami as best he could to reveal his entry point. Yami moaned as he felt Yugi enter his body for the first time. .He quickly sat up on Yugi's lap and kissed him gently. Yugi thrust himself inside again repeatedly, all the while kissing Yami's lips, neck, and nipples. Nights had completely fallen over them, and were now illuminated by the light of the full moon. Their bodies and the water around them seemed to have a glow of their own in the moonlight. When Yugi could finally hold himself back no longer, he let himself come inside of Yami. Yugi collapsed onto Yami's chest, both of them exhausted in pleasure as their hearts beat rhythmically with each in unison. Once again, Yami held onto Yugi in his arms in a silent feeling of euphoria. Suddenly Yami remembered the food and the wood and they both got up to start a fire. Neither of them put their cloths back as they did this and when they had both eaten their fill they once again embraced other. They remained silent, neither one wanting to be the one who broke the silence, and so they both fell asleep, holding one another in their great love. And all the while one thought kept running through Yugi's mind:

"Please don't let this be a dream. . ."
