Yami pushed himself weekly away from Bakura's chest, the picture still in his hand, he starred at it with fear and anguish as the tears in his eyes stayed there, un-moving. He brought the hand holding the picture up holding in front of Bakura's face, the white haired Yami snatched it away from the other and starred at it. His eyes widened and his brow furrowed as his expression became more desperate. "What have we done Yami?" he asked looking at his friend who was now sitting beside him.

"Driven them away that's what, how could we Bakura, how? They're our soul mates," Yami replied unable to look at the white haired Yami beside him.

"We ignored them, that's how, we did, as did the others," Bakura replied puling his knees to his chest and burying his face in his arms, in a futile attempt to make things right.

"We have to make things right, you think we should tell the others?" Yami asked, Bakura and himself locking eyes at that point.

"Tell the others, of course we should tell the others you nitwit, they're involved in this too," Bakura growled and Yami looked even more depressed than before.

"I'll tell them tomorrow, at school," Yami said standing up with the help of the hand Bakura had offered him, the white haired boy having gotten up only seconds before.

"Yes, but we still have to find them Yami, they have to be with those other three, the one's that looked like Anzu, Jou and Seto," Bakura commented as the two headed out of Yuugi's room, the picture in Yami's hands. Yami nodded and gasped, more images flowing by his eyes, he stumbled forward almost loosing his balance, but Bakura caught him and held him steady.

"Yami, Yami, what happened?" Bakura demanded worry evident in his eyes.

"A, a memory," Yami said dazedly looking through his mind to once more come across the recently remember memory.

---Flashback---

Yami strolled down one of the great halls of his palace, he was bored, he sighed and no one seemed to be around today. The servants went around their daily duties but none of them seemed to notice him, typical, but it was more depressing that usual, since it was his eighteenth birthday after all. He heard a giggle and turned in time to see a flash of brown disappear around a corner, he came round that very corner and saw a door slam.

He smirked, walking to that door he placed his hand on the cold stone and pushed it open, as soon as he did he found himself back in the hall on his back. Someone was on top of him, hugging him around the waist, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY YAMI!" they cried.

Yami looked up and met with burning red eyes so similar to his own, "Teana," he breathed out, she loosened her grip on him and helped him up. She smirked and pushed him into the room where he was met with a feast, banners and other decorations lined the walls and their stood his closest friends, Jono, the healer, Seito, his High Priest, Bakura, an x-tomb robber now his head of guard and Teana, a Princess from Lower Egypt.

"What," he breathed out unable to form full sentences.

"You didn't think we'd actually forget it was your birthday did you?" Jono asked grinning pulling a chair out and Bakura shove the stunned Pharaoh into it.

"Sit, eat and enjoy," Bakura commented sitting beside him and the rest sat down at the table, the white haired fiend smirked at Yami who smirked back.

"But how, I thought you were all away doing business?" he gasped.

"We said we were doing business, not that we were going away," Seito commented smirking.

"I despise it when you play word games with me," Yami replied smirking.

"And I thought you were the KING of Games," Teana commented laughing at the look Yami gave her, somewhere between angry and a pout, making him look awfully childish, no offence to children. At this all present began to laugh, Yami deepened his scowl in an attempt to keep a straight face but he soon cracked, laughing along with them and so the day went on.

---End Flashback---

"I remember that day now, you made such a fool of yourself," Bakura said laughing slightly.

"But why would they be here, they weren't sealed in the Millennium items, that was you and me, all everyone else did was place part of their power into their Sennen Item," Yami commented, the two were at the base of the stairs now.

"I know, but if there is something that I can be sure of about those three is that they have a purpose for everything they do," Bakura agreed, "And I'm gonna find out what it is." Yami nodded and showed Bakura out the door, the two waved goodbye to each other and Bakura headed home. Yami walked back inside as his friend disappeared around a corner, and it was only then did it hit him.

He could still sense Yuugi, but if he could still sense Yuugi then he…then he must still be wearing the Millennium Puzzle, the mind-link! 'Yuugi,' he called and something stirred in his mind and then, beyond his belief came an answer.

'Huh, YAMI!' Yuugi exclaimed through the mind link and then his voice turned cold, 'what do you want, finally remembered my name I hear?' he spat, completely un-like the Yuugi he'd known.

'Yuugi I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it, I didn't see and I'm so sorry, can you forgive me,' Yami begged opening his side of the link completely.

Yuugi felt his resolve weakening, but however big his heart was, he didn't want it broken again, 'Yami, I don't know if I can, prove it to me Yami then maybe, just maybe I can trust you again.' Yami heard Yuugi sigh, 'I just don't want my heart broken again Yami, I'm sorry,' and with that Yuugi was about to close off the mind-link when he heard Yami yell.

'Yuugi MATTE!' and Yuugi stopped, willing to listen to his Yami.

'Hai Yami?' he asked appearing before his Yami in the corridor between their soul rooms.

'Teana, Jono and Seito they…' he was cut off for a minute.

'How do you know their names?' Yuugi demanded.

'Because Yuugi, they are Anzu, Jou, and Seto's past selves,' was Yami's reply and Yuugi gasped.

'Yami why are they here?' Yuugi asked, but Yami shook his head, 'I'm sorry Yami, I'm being called, I have to go.' Yami nodded again looking sadly at his aibou as he vanished and his soul room door slammed shut and locked itself from the inside.

'But he said maybe, I still have a chance to win him back,' Yami smiled slightly to himself before something else hit him, if he could reach Yuugi, could Bakura reach Ryou. He rushed to the phone and dialled Bakura's home number and it rang about three times before the white haired Yami picked up the phone.

"Hello, Bakura residence," Bakura growled down the line and Yami coughed.

"No need to growl Bakura," he commented.

"Oh, Yami, why are you called me?" Bakura asked sounding astonished and surprised that Yami would call him

"Yuugi was wearing the puzzle," Yami said bluntly.

"P-pardon me," Bakura spluttered, "and why would that be of interest to me?" he finished.

"Because stupid, I could use the mind-link," he heard Bakura gasp on the other line, "Yuugi's side was open, I talked to him Bakura," Yami shouted sounding like a child that had just been presented with long awaited chocolate.

"Gotta go, bye," was Bakura hasty response and soon the beep sounded in Yami's ear confirming that Bakura was gone.

"Arrogant bastard," Yami told himself chuckling slightly.

---Bakura---

After placing the phone down on Yami Bakura went and sat in the rather spacious lounge of the Bakura household. 'Ryou,' he called through the mind link, 'Ryou, if you can hear me, answer.'

'Go to hell,' Ryou spat at his Yami through their minds.

'Ryou please, Hikari,' Bakura begged but was stopped short by Ryou interrupting him.

'Don't call me that, I hate you, don't you dare call me Hikari or aibou or anything,' Ryou yelled obviously hurt and upset.

'Ryou, waga Tenshi, please,' Bakura continued to plead with his fuming other half.

'How dare you call me yours, I don't want anything to do with you BAKURA!' the name was shouted with disgust, or at least that's what it sounded like to Bakura.

'Ryou, damn you, listen to me,' Bakura demanded.

'NO!' was Ryou's final retort before the link was cut of completely from his end.

"Hikari," Bakura chocked out looked dejectedly at his hands, "what have I done to you, aibou I'm sorry," he muttered to himself though, un-known to him it was heard. Heard by a certain white haired boy who had opened his end of the link just in time to hear his Yami's last words.

"Oh Yami," Ryou whispered before calling out to him, 'Bakura, Bakura,' he called twice and finally heard his darker half answer.

'Ryou,' it was faint but clear.

'Hai Yami, I'm sorry but I just can't be near you anymore, I don't want to get hurt again, I'm sorry,' Ryou whispered back as though afraid of being heard by prying ears.

'What if I proved it to you Ryou, prove to you that I can be your friend?' Bakura suggested and he felt the confusion his lighter half was feeling. He suddenly got an idea, he concentrated on the ring and vanished into it, he materialized behind Ryou and the Hikari had yet to notice him.

"What should I do?" Ryou muttered, "Can I trust him? He completely ignored me, how do I know he won't do it again?" The white haired angel nearly hit the ceiling when two strong arms wrapped around his slim waist. "B-Bakura?" Ryou questioned, turning his head slightly so he could look at his Yami through the corner of his eyes.

"Yes aibou," Bakura answered placing his head on Ryou's shoulder.

"What are you doing?" Ryou gasped and gulped at the close contact he was having with his Yami.

"I'm going to prove to you that I can be your friend," he replied looking at his Hikari with longing and Ryou felt his heart melt but he refused to give in.

"How and when?" Ryou asked sternly narrowing his eyes slightly hoping he could fool his Yami.

"Now," Bakura declared spinning Ryou round and placing his lips softly against that of Ryou's. Ryou's eyes shot open at what his Yami had done and immediately he began to push at Bakura's chest in a futile attempt to get his Yami to stop, unfortunately for Ryou, Bakura was much stronger than himself.

Bakura finally pulled away and Ryou slapped him, "How dare you, you think you can just waltz in here and dot that, you think I'll trust you because of a kiss?" Ryou demanded of his other, darker, half.

"Ryou I," Bakura started but Ryou interrupted him.

"You're what? SORRY? Well Bakura, sorry is not going to cut it, neither are you and your stupid kisses, just go, leave me the hell alone!" Ryou demanded pointing at the door.

"Ryou."

"GO!" Ryou yelled, Bakura sighed, eyes downcast.

"As you wish Ryou, you won't see me again," and with that he vanished into the ring and rematerialized inside his own house.

"I failed you aibou, I'm sorry," Bakura muttered walking out of the house and going to find somewhere to contemplate his feelings.

---Jounouchi, his P.O.V---

I wonder what was up with Yami; he seemed so…upset, could we have done something wrong. No, it must have had something to do with those brats, how I'd love to kick their scrawny asses but, something keeps telling me I knew two of them and that one…he looked like me, just…older, more like…the Yami's'. Could it be, do I have a Yami? Hell no, I don't have one of those Millennium Items so it's impossible.

But, why does something keep telling me that I've done something wrong, it's like I have these memories of me, the gang, Yami and someone else, we're all having fun but…that one person, I can't recognise them. Short, looks like Yami, used to be a friend, wait a minute, YUUGI, OH SHIT!!! My best friend, my… I, I forgot him, I didn't even remember his name, oh no, I need to find him and apologize.

What about the white haired one, I think I recognised him too, but maybe its just cause of Bakura. Hey wait, Bakura has a Millennium Item, he's a Yami, but that means…he has a Millennium Item: he has a Hikari, RYOU!!! Oh no, I'd forgotten them both, how could I have been so stupid?

That's what Yami was upset about, that was Yuugi's room and none of us realised, none and we're all his friends, or his x-friends now. We ignored him, I ignored him and he was my best friend, we drove him away and now there's no guarantee we'll see him again, oh Kami-sama damn it.

Well, that's it for now, can you guys give me some ideas as what you want to happen when Yuugi sees the gang at Domino High? Please and thanx! Bye now ^_~
