Panic smiled wickedly in the darkness of the closet as he saw a small hand reach out to grasp the knob. He pulled the door closed just as the fingers brushed the cold brass, causing the little one to gasp and shrink back, shaking slightly. Smiling and revealing his rotten teeth, Panic then opened the door, making it creak slightly.

Yugi screamed and ran back to bed, diving under the covers face first and shaking violently. Panic's grin grew, and he moved forward, out of the closet, slowly extending his arms toward the bed.

Feeling something creeping up on him, Yugi rolled over, but he was too terrified to lift the covers. He could sense a vile evil hovering over him. He screamed again, then heard the pounding of feet, a door clicking open, then the light flashed on. His fear ridden mind didn't process this, and he screamed as the covers were forcefully pulled off of his head. He kicked and squirmed, struggling to remain hidden and 'safe'.

"YUGI!" Yami wrenched the covers off of his little hikari, staring down with wide eyes at the violently quaking boy. Yugi's violet eyes were twice their natural size, and dark with terror. His skin was unnaturally pale and clammy, and he looked as if he was spaced out.

He picked Yugi up, cradling him in his arms and whispering soothingly into his ear. Yugi clung to his other half, burying his face against him and sobbing his fear away until he was left exhausted.

Yami continued to hold and rock Yugi as the horrid sobs subsided into soft little sniffles. Rubbing his back reassuredly, the pharaoh leaned in close to whisper in his ear. "What's wrong, Yugi? Did you have another nightmare?"

Yugi whimpered, buried his face against Yami, and pointed to the closet door.

Yami looked at the seemingly innocent door. "Yugi, don't you think you're a little old to be afraid of a closet monster?" Yugi just shuddered and clung to his other half. Yami sighed and yawned, wanting nothing more than to go back to bed and get some sleep. He'd just fallen asleep as Yugi had started screaming the second time.

Yami stood up and laid Yugi back in the bed. "It's alright, Yugi. I'll go check to make sure there aren't any monsters." Yami headed towards the closet, his hand out stretched towards the knob.

"NO! Yami!!" Yugi cried out, clutching the flannel sheet under his blanket tightly. "T-there's s-something in t-there....I f-felt it..." He used his mental link with Yami to send him the images of what had happened.

"Yugi." Yami sighed, tired and beginning to get frustrated. "It was that stupid show of mine that has you so scared, I bet. Monsters don't exist in real life." To prove his point, he jerked open the closet door, causing Yugi to squeak and throw the blanket over his head. Yami leaned into the darkness, peered around, flicked the closet light on, poked around, moved things, and shut the door firmly. "There. I checked, and there's no monsters."

Yugi just whimpered, trembling slightly. Yami sighed again, grabbed Yugi's desk chair, and placed it under the knob. "There, now he can't get out. Now, go to sleep." Yami came over, pulled the blanket off of Yugi, tucked him in, and kissed his forehead. "Good night, hikari. Go to sleep."

Yugi mutely nodded and obediently closed his eyes. On his way out, Yami reached into Yugi's top dresser drawer and pulled out a night light then plugged it in. "There, now, even if he does get out, the light will scare him away." Yugi was already asleep, so he didn't hear.

Stretching tired muscles, Yami yawned and crawled back into his own bed.

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

A faint scraping noise caused Yugi's eyes to jerk wide open, and he gasped in fear, his little body instantly stiffening up. Whimpering, he peered over his blankets, and, in the dim nightlight's light, saw the chair wobble and fall over, and the door knob slowly start to turn.............

Yugi's scream and the crashing of the chair brought Yami rushing into the room, his golden bangs askew, face foggy with fatigue, and panting from rushing. Yami's hand tightened it's hold on the door frame as he clicked the light on, revealing the fallen chair and ajar closet door. Yami groaned, shut the closet door and picked up the chair, ramming it under the door this time, before going over and once again picking up his hikari.

"Yugi..." Yami moaned, pulling aside the small one's covers. "I just angled the chair wrong, that's all, and when it fell, it must've hit the door and caused it to open.....it's nothing to be so scared about....." Yami's half closed eyes snapped wide open when the saw the state of his little, trembling hikari.

"Yugi!" Yugi blinked in spite of himself, looking down at his trembling body, and he saw what Yami meant. Yugi's face turned bright red, and he lowered his head, muttering, "Gomen, Yami, I didn't mean to!"

Yami just groaned, lifting Yugi off of the bed. "Three year olds pee the bed, not fourteen year olds." Yami scolded as he began to strip the soaked blankets off and motioned for Yugi to remove his wet pajamas. Yugi looked down and did so with trembling hands, trying not to cry.

Yami threw the wet blankets and pjs into the hamper and put fresh sheets on while Yugi changed his pjs. He then picked his hikari up and laid down on the bed with him. "Yugi, please, sleep......just go to sleep....." He yawned and fell asleep with Yugi still in his arms.

Yugi cuddled against Yami, warily watching closet door. After about fifteen minutes, his eyelids began to grow heavy, and the still closet had him convinced that whatever was in there would leave him alone, as long as Yami was with him.........

How very wrong he was............

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

Panic grinned, celebrating his victory. This was much more fun than giving that little twerp nightmares!!! He did it!! He actually made that brat piss his pants!!!!! Crowing with pleasure, Panic revved himself up for round three.

There was no way he was going to stop!! He still had the entire night to go!!! And the pharaoh was already getting annoyed. He hadn't expected Yami to actually fall asleep in Yugi's room, but.....this just made things more challenging....and more fun......
