Yami Bakura: ok folks, I bet you're tired of listening to Yami and Oni chatter. So I'm taking over.

Ryou: what have you done with them?

Yami B.: hush! *hits ryou* *ryou cries and glares* *suddenly, sounds come from a closet*

Ryou: *eyes widen * you shouldn't have locked them in the same closet, ya know. And where's Yugi?

Yami B.: enough out of you!!!!!! Be quiet, or you'll join them!!! And as for that annoying twerp....

Yugi: *tears up* you're making fun of me. I'm telling Yami!!!!

Yami B.: O_O

Ryou: *giggles* you're in for it now, once Yugi finds Yami!

Yami B.: THAT'S ENOUGH!!!! BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP OR ELSE!!!! *Yugi and Ryou jump and start to cry* WE'RE STARTING THE FIC NOW!!!

***************************

Panic grinned from the darkness. He was no longer in limbo..he had escaped the Shadow Realm, and was currently in Yugi's closet. Oh, he couldn't wait to invade the sickeningly sweet hikari's dreams.

********

Yugi was nestled warmly in his bed, sound asleep. He was so deep in sleep that if he was dreaming, he didn't know it. He was laying on his side, sweetly clinging to his teddy bear and buried under a mound of fluffy blankets. He was so relaxed and motionless.

This peace and tranquility didn't last long, however. After Yami had tucked him in, and he had fallen deeply asleep, a dark force reached out to his sub consciousness, invading his mind.

Yugi suddenly found himself in dreamland. He was at a carnival, with Yami. They were walking down an aisle of games, Yami's favorite part of the fair. Yugi held Yami's hand while in his other arm was his teddy bear. He skipped merrily by Yami's side as the taller boy slowed his pace, taking it easy on Yugi's short legs. Yami bent down and asked him if he wanted some cotton candy. Yugi nodded, hugging Yami then watching as Yami walked off, disappearing into the crowd.

Yugi hugged his teddy bear to his chest, smiling and waiting for Yami. And waiting. And waiting. Yami never came back. Yugi bit his lip, frowning. He was getting worried; he wanted to go look for Yami, but Yami had told him to wait for him. But he had waited, and Yami wasn't back. What if something had happened to Yami, and he needed Yugi's help? With that thought, Yugi hesitated only a second before going after Yami.

Yugi walked around......this place was huge, and he couldn't find Yami anywhere. He'd called out until his voice was hoarse. He'd tried asking a person or two, but they either simply ignored him or hadn't seen him because of his small size. Tears welled up in his eyes, and his lower lip quivered. He blinked, hugging his bear tightly. He bumped into someone, and mumbled "sorry".

The person in mention happened to be a very friendly looking clown who was handing balloons out to kids. He appeared angry at first, then frowned when he noticed Yugi's tears. "Hey, kid, don't cry. What's wrong?" he honked his big red nose, making it squeak.

Yugi just sniffed. "I'm looking for my.....older brother. I can't find him anywhere." More tears spilled out of his eyes.

The clown nodded. "Well, kiddo, hears what we'll do. You stick with me, and I'll help you find him." Yugi nodded, wiping his eyes. "That's better, kid. By the way, that's a very nice bear you've got there. Mind if I see it?"

Yugi gulped and clutched it tightly. "My brother gave it to me."

The clown smiled. "Well, how sweet."

Yugi followed the clown. They searched everywhere, and still couldn't find Yami. Yugi was really scared now. The clown sighed...."Kid, there's one place left. Does your brother like fun houses?"

Yugi thought. Yami loved games with a passion, but fun houses? Well, Yami liked horror movies and the like. "Yeah". He nodded.

"Good. You go check in there-" The clown pointed to the mouth of the fun house. It was really dark, and scary. "And I'll keep a look out here, in case your brother is wandering around, looking for you."

Yugi glanced into the mouth of the fun house. It was very, very dark. He gulped. "M-maybe, since you know it better, you should go in-"

"You're so little; how could you see over the crowd. No, no, I'm taller, best if I stay out here. Get a move on, kid." The clown's expression turned angry, and he smiled nastily and Yugi's fear. "Oh, what's the matter? Is the little baby going to cry?" He shoved Yugi into the dark entrance. Just before he fell into that dark void, the clown yanked his bear out of his arms. "Noo!!!" Yugi wailed, falling backwards and watching as the clown ripped the bear to shreds.

Yugi tumbled backwards for what seemed like a long time. He landed in darkness. He was sitting on a cold floor, and all around him was open blackness. He teared up, crying in fear. He would've sat still, but noises in the dark made him jump up and run. He tripped over something, landing hard on the ground. Suddenly, there came on a light. He lifted his head to see what he had fallen over. He was laying on top of Yami!!! He gasped, relief washing over him. He snuggled up to Yami's chest, crying.

But Yami wasn't moving. His chest wasn't going up and down; Yami wasn't even breathing. He was pale and perfectly still. Realizing what this meant, Yugi cried even harder. "NO!! YAMI!!! Get up! Please get up!!! Yami!!!" Maniacal laughter echoed through the darkness.

*************

Downstairs, Yami was engrossed in his show and had no idea of the happenings in his little aibou's mind. He was, however, startled by Yugi's sudden cries. Dropping his popcorn bowl and flinging aside the blanket, he ran upstairs into Yugi's room. The boy sat up as soon as the door was flung open and light flicked on. His breathing was heavy, his skin clammy and cold with sweat, eyes wide and teary, and heart racing. He looked absolutely terrified.

Yami wasted no time in gathering Yugi into his arms. He wrapped his arms around his little body, rubbing his back and rocking him. Yugi clung to Yami, burying his face in his pj shirt, shaking and crying. "Yugi, hush, it's alright; it's just a dream. Tell me what happened."

Yami held him tighter as Yugi choked out between sobs, "It was so horrible. We were at a carnival, you left to get some cotton candy and never came back. I searched and s-searched, but I couldn't find you. A c-clown....he- he pushed me into the funhouse. H-he tore up my b-bear. And then I f- found you. You were-were d-d-d......." Unable to finish, Yugi was overcome with fear and horror again and buried his face against Yami, soaking the shirt even further.

Yami's eyes widened. No wonder his poor little hikari was frightened. If he'd of dreamt Yugi was dead......Yami shuddered at the mere thought, holding Yugi tighter. "Oh, aibou, it's alright. It was just a dream. I'm here, you're here, and we're both fine. Besides, I never would have left you.....I would have taken you with me to buy cotton candy. It's alright; hush now. There you go. That's better." Yugi leaned back, calmed down by Yami's strong, assuring arms and soft voice. Yami wiped his tears and smiled down at him.

He hugged Yugi to him tightly. "It was just a bad dream. It's alright. It was probably caused by you being upset about Jiichan being gone for so long. It's only the second night he's been gone, Yugi. We still have 5 more nights to go. Remember he called earlier? You talked to him; you know everything is alright." Yami paused, thinking. "IT was also, mostly, that stupid show of mine. I should have had you in bed long before that came on."

Feeling much better, Yugi nuzzled his face against Yami, then kissed his cheek. "Arigato, Yami. What would I do without you?"

Yami chuckled softly. "It's more the other way around, hikari no tenchi. What would I ever do without you?"

Yugi blushed and nuzzled him again. Yami hugged him briefly. "Ready to go back to bed?" When Yugi nodded, Yami lay him back down and tucked him in. He sat on the edge of the bed, leaning over and kissed Yugi's forehead. Yugi's eyes closed. "Remember, Yugi, dreams are just our subconscious playing tricks on us. You can control your dreams. I love you, and would never leave you." Yami stayed until Yugi had fallen fully asleep, then went to bed himself.

******************

In the darkness, Panic growled to himself. Things had been going so well until that damned little brat had cried out, bringing the cursed pharaoh into the room. He growled again in frustration. That had been such fun, too. Well, he would just have to try again.

He waited until he was sure Yugi and his darker half were both sound asleep. This time, he used a different setting. He had the poor little hikari all alone in a big city street. It was cold out. So cold. And the people.....they weren't friendly looking at all. Yugi was trembling and sniffling, on the verge of tears. Panic smiled, then frowned as the boy suddenly hugged himself, saying, "No, Yami loves me. He'd never leave me."

His jaw dropped. He was loosing his hold and slipping further and further away from the little one's mind. He cursed as he found himself back in the closet. He tried reaching out again, but this time the accursed pipsqueak had engineered his own dream. Panic could only look on in disgust. It was such a sweet, nauseating dream. It was a bright, sunny day. Yugi, in swim trunks, jumped into the pool. Yami caught him, twirling him about the water and splashing. Jiisan was there too, laughing as Yugi splashed him from in Yami's arms.

Panic was going to be sick. He swore and tried again. He still couldn't get in. Damn it!! Well, if he couldn't get into the kid's dreams.......and he wouldn't dare trying to mess with Yami's head......there was always another way to make sweet, innocent little Yugi piss his pants!!!!! He grinned at that thought.....that was a good start, making the little one wet the bed.
