Chapter Two for all of those who like this story so far. And I promise, it
won't turn into a romance no matter what this chapter may suggest!
And thank you to those of you who gave me good reviews on chapter one!! I'm not one of those people who won't update if I don't get reviews, but every author likes getting a handful of good reviews! n.n
And one last thing. Any songs I use to describe the chapter and Yugi and Yami's relationship that mentions love, it's meant in a brotherly way!! (And for those of you who don't love your brother [or sister] the way you love your best friend) Please don't take it in a sexual meaning, cause it's not.
With that said, read chapter two, enjoy, and then review!!
Sympathy
CHAPTER TWO: ANGEL
"I'm alone, yeah, and I don't know if I can face the night, I'm in tears and the crying that I do is for you, I want your love, let's break the walls between us, Don't make it tough, I'll put away my pride, Enough's enough, I've suffered and I've seen the light.
You're my angel, come and save me tonight, You're my angel, come and make it alright You're my angel, come and save me tonight." ~ "Angel" by: Aerosmith~
The world around him swam back in fuzzy waves. Nothing placed itself anywhere. Chairs and tables whirled Yami, making him nauseous. Even the slightest move sent pain rocketing through him. He let out a quiet moan and squeezed his eyes shut. Suddenly something cold and wet was pressed against his forehead. Yami jumped, startled by the damp coldness, and tried to force his eyes open. Through the narrow slits of his sight, he saw a woman leaning over him holding a dripping cloth. She grinned down at him with hazel eyes. Hair fell down and framed her beautiful face. It was tri-colored, just like his and Yugi's, except the colors that streaked through her jet-black hair were a deep blue and velvety purple. Yami sighed as she pressed the cloth back down on his forehead. "Glad to see you're somewhat awake." Her voice was more soothing this time. "The good news is you'll survive with a little rest. The bad news is you'll have a pretty bad headache for a while. Yami blinked blearily as his world started to grow fuzzy again. He forced his arm to move and grab the woman's wrist. "A-are you an angel?" Yami had heard Yugi talk of angels. He said they were beautiful creatures that came and saved hurt souls and made everything all right. With that in mind, this woman had to be of angelic nature. She laughed, a tinkling should that should have, in his state, caused Yami to wince in pain. Instead it soothed him. "You can call me an angel if you want, but I'm not close to one." She re-dampened the cloth and placed it back on his head. "My real name is Janie." "Janie." Yami murmured her name as he drifted off again.

Yugi sighed as he stared at his own bedroom door. He knew that on the other side stood a hurt Yami. His heart was probably crushed by Yugi's words. After all, he had pledged his eternal loyalty to him. 'You made a mistake.' Yugi scolded himself. 'You were tired and aggravated and you took it out on Yami. Just apologize. He'll be able to feel your true sorrow through your link.' If only it were truly that easy. Yugi knew he had probably damaged their link with his empty threats and it would take more then unspoken feelings to bring Yami to forgive him. He had turned down an easy duel just because he was tired. Though he knew it had made him seem a coward or afraid to those watching, it was when Yami questioned him that he felt the biggest dig at his pride. And he had snapped. But his talk with Grandpa had knocked down some walls he had built in his mind. Grandpa had shown him that Yami was a gift placed in his hands by the heavens. In his own strange way, Yami was an angel. It was with the completion of the millennium puzzle and the first appearance of his counterpart, that Yugi's life had turned around. Two of his worst bullies became two of his best friends. And the girl he liked became a good friend, though nothing more. It was also with Yami's help that they vanquished the evil lurking around inside the mind of his good friend and past bullied partner. Without Yami he wouldn't have Joey, Tristan, Tea, or Ryou at his side. Or his Grandpa. Yami had helped him win back his Grandpa's soul. But the thing that rang the truest was the last thing his Grandpa had told him. "Yugi, he's a part of you now." He had said. "Without Yami, you aren't Yugi Moto. And with out Yugi Moto, he's not Yami, Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh. You need each other." His Grandpa had been right. The two of them were like pieces to his puzzle. You needed both of them if you expected to get any further along. With his harsh words, Yugi had broken the pieces apart. Now he had to go put them back together. Sucking in a deep breath, he pushed open his door. "Yami?" He called, stepping into his room. "Yami, where are you?" Yugi stopped short when he noticed his room. His desk was void of the puzzle, where he had left it. The curtains were flapping in the breeze that blew in through his open window. The window Yugi knew he had closed. And Yami was missing as well. When Yugi put all three together, he found he couldn't breath. Yami had left him, ad taken the puzzle with him. He had taken Yugi's words to heart and decided to find a new aibou. And it was all his fault. Tears welled up in Yugi's eyes at the thought of loosing Yami forever. Especially after coming to the realization his Grandpa had just driven him to see. Yami was a part of him, his Guardian Angel. He just couldn't be gone. The tears spilled down his cheeks as he turned and fled the room. He ran back down to his Grandpa. Solomon Moto let out a grunt as his grandson's tiny body slammed into him and clung tightly. Sobs racked his small frame. "Yugi?" Grandpa whispered, hugging him. "What's wrong Yugi?" Yugi looked up at his Grandpa with a tear stained face. "He's gone Grandpa!" He cried, burying his face in his Grandpa's chest. "He's gone. Yami left!"
