Tulip-Jin: WAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!


Yami Tulip-Jin: Aibou, don't cry, it'll be better soon you'll see!


Tulip-Jin: *sniffle* I know Yami, it's just when I look at them...WAHHAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!


Chibi Red Eyes Black Dragon: Raaawwwrrrr! Rawwwrr rawr raaawwrrr! (Darn it! Just when things were getting sane around here!)


Chiwizard: *hugs sobbing Tulip-Jin in consulation* Well, that's what happens sometimes. I remember my first fic had this problem too - NOT A SINGLE REVIEW.


Tulip-Jin: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!


Chibi Red Eyes: Rawr! Raaawwrr rawr rrrraawwrr rawr raawrr! (What! That's just cruel, and TJ's a very sensitive writer too!)


Yami Tulip-Jin:*plugging ears with fingers* Sure, they _could_ just flame us but NOOOO, they gotta just plain not review! I've had it! If, after this, nobody reviews -


Chiwizard: Lets just start the fic.





~*~Nobody here owns Yugioh (too bad for them)~*~






~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~












Blight couldn't stop laughing. It had never known mortals could be so amusing! For


example, right now the Yami was more or less curled in a little ball in the back of his own


head. {Oh, why so glum?} Blight jeered. {Don't tell me you had a problem with my little


snack…} [If it will make you shut up, then I won't.] Blight snorted. After seeing his


little Aibou, you would think it would make the Yami more conversational. But no, he just


lay there. {Say, I know what would cheer you up! Why don't we do some of that 20th century


'mall trawling' I've heard so much about!} It sniggered as the Yami gave a little moan.


{Suit yourself, party-pooper, but I'm still hungry.} Blight vanished over the Yami's muted


protests…





















"The Blight. Of course It would choose that name." Bakura massaged hisforehead.


They were back at Yugi's house, and the TV was on, muted. There were thousands of special


reports coming in about the thing that called Itself Blight, but none of them could stand to


listen to it anymore. Yugi was just sitting on the couch, staring at the pictures of Blight


being displayed and crying. So was Taya. Joey was helping Tristan, who was throwing up in


the kitchen sink. At Bakura's words, Yugi wiped his face and turned around. "It?" Bakura


nodded. "I remember a story about something like this. Really more like a rumor…" He


paused, and was delighted to see everyone paying attention to him. "Well, people were


talking about an evil shadow spirit that would eat your soul. It would trick you, promised


anything to lure It's victims from their comrades. Then It would take you over. It feeds


off a victim's pain and misery, while It poses as them and destroys their lives. Then It


would claim their soul…and no one knew where It went next. But every time It struck, It was


far away from the last spot." "So, It will claim Yami's soul and move on eventually?"


Bakura shook his head. "Unfortunately, no. This is the first time a Yami has been taken.


Now, It will stay as long as It chooses, using Yami's powers to gorge Itself." "Isn't there


any way to get Yami back?" Yugi asked desperately. "Hmm. This has never happened before,


so maybe…" "Maybe? Maybe? What maybe?" Joey demanded. "If It uses Yami's powers, then


It will have to use the Shadow Realm to rest. If you could get It to duel you for him,


perhaps…"

Chiwizard: There we go. Another nice chappy is up, feel better?


Tulip-Jin: *hiccups* Uh-huh...


Yami Tulip-Jin: Now, if nobody reviews THIS time, heads will roll! Literally!
