Well on with chapter nine!!

Yugi walked towards Yushigou with a look of curiousity on his face. He knew he remembered this man from somewhere, he just couldn't remember where.

Yugi stopped, half a foot away from Yushigou and stretched his hand out towards his face. His cheek was warm, but he could sense that it wasn't naturally warm. (1)

" Where do you come from? I mean, how did, what are you?" Yugi asked, confused by this stranger standing in front of him.

" As I have already told you, I am Yushigou. Where I come from...." he pointed at Yugi's head, and then his heart, "lies in you. I was created when you were very young."

Yugi then gasped. He remembered! Yushigou had been his only friend when he was younger. He didn't have a lot of friends, although, he couldn't remember why.

"Why, I mean, where have you been? All this time, where have you been?"

A look of rage flashed across Yushigou's face, only briefly, almost immediately replaced with a look of 'supposed' concern.

" Ever since you completed the Puzzle," the word Puzzle was said with great sarcasm, " I was locked away in the deepest and darkest recesses of you're mind. That evil Yami of yours, locked me in there as soon as he came along. He brainwashed you, making you forget me, he tried to destroy me."

Yugi swallowed. Was Yami really that evil person Yushigou was describing?

" B....But Yami would have a good reason for doing that. He would only do that if you were evil, or trying to hurt me, or both."

Yushigou chuckled quietly to himself. " Yami was the evil one!" he said, feigning innocence. " He wanted you all for himself. I tried to help but...."

He started to cry fake tears, and felt Yugi's arms wrapped around him.

He smiled then. The trap had been set, and the prey caught. Yugi was his, and there was no way Yami was going to get him back.

Ryou woke up, pain flaming all over his body. He tried to sit up, and failed.

He looked around, trying to remember what had happened. But for some reason, he couldn't.(2) He looked down at himself and gasped.

There was blood covering the whole lower region of his body. He lifted an arm up, but found that he couldn't move it.

' Must be broken.' He thought.

A door opened, and Bakura walked in.

'It seems my poor hikari does not remember what happened last night. Oh well, I'll just pretend I don't know what happened.'

Bakura ran over to Ryou's side.

" What happened Ryou? How did you, I mean what did-?"

Ryou shook his head, tears spilling out of his eyes.

" I don't know Bakura. But I think I was....I think I was raped."

Marik was pacing the study in his house.

'So, this Yushigou is a threat to Yugi and Yami? I've never heard of a person having a figmented being before. And this goes way past the term ' imaginary friend'. I will have to stop this Yushigou, but I wonder how?? Hm....I'll have to ask Yami.'

Marik walked down the hall and opened the door to the guest bedroom. Yami was sleeping soundly on the bed.

With great relunctance, Marik walked over and shook Yami slightly. He stirred a little, but did not wake up.

" Yami, you have to wake up. I need to ask you a question."

**no reply**

Marik shook him a little more and said a little louder, " Yami you have to wake up! I have a question!!!"

**still no reply**

"Yami! The world is being taken over by the Shadow Realm, and if you don't wake up, all life on earth will be destroyed!!"

Yami jumped up, looking around wildly.

' So, that's what makes him wake up. I'll have to remember that for the future!'

Yami, seeing that, obviously, Marik was lying, sat back down on the bed. He was giving his worst glare at Marik and you could practically see the smoke coming out of his ears.

" Why you little! And I was sleeping and you came and...ugggghhhhh!! Now I have a headache!!"

Marik laughed and then said seriously, " How did you beat Yushigou when you first came?"

Yami's face got a serious thinking look on it and then he said, " Well, actually, I wasn't the one to defeat him. Yugi was. I was the one who gave Yugi the power and strength to beat him."

Marik had a dawning look on his face and said, "So Yugi had the capability all along, just not the power or the strength?"

Yami nodded and went on. " I wasn't able to defeat Yushigou myself, because unlike me, he was an actual part of Yugi's mind, body, and soul. I am his darkness, his opposite, therefore, having my own mind, body, and soul."

Marik nodded and told Yami to go on.

" Well, since I couldn't defeat him, I transferred apart of my power source into Yugi, making him able to defeat Yushigou."

Marik suddenly looked confused again. " Why was Yugi able to, but you were'nt?"

Yami shook his head. " That I don't know, Marik. Only he was the one who was able to defeat him. And he will be the only one this time, too."

Yay!! The end of chappie 9! Yugi- am I gonna get Yami back?

Me- well, maybe...but I don't wanna let you go!!

Explanations-

When Yugi beat Yushigou, he kind of killed him, so it was an effort for Yushigou to make his skin lifelike, but Yugi could feel the real him underneath the disguise.

Ryou went into a kind of post depression shock. He will remember the rape later on, but right now, his memory of it is on vacation.

WELL, HOPE YOU PEEPS ENJOYED THIS CHAPTER!!! PLEASE REVIEW!!
