(A/N: _ Sugar High + Sappy mood + Lily = Funny title)

Yugi sat on the bed, knees close to his chest, arms hugging knees, mind deep in thought. He's been out for more than a day now. He didn't know where he was, and what he was to do. However, he knew he could trust that girl. He was sure he knew her from somewhere, he just couldn't remember.

But yet, his mind got back to the main reason of why he was there...

How were Yami and the others doing? What were they doing?

How did they react when they realized Yugi was gone?

Yugi didn't know. But he did want to know.

'How do you want to know? You want to go back to them?' asked a smart voice inside his head (A/N: He has those too? O_o lol).

'It would be a start... I don't think running away was the right choice... not anymore...' he replied.

'Well... don't you think you need to get out of here first?'

'That's obvious.'

'Do you know where you are?'

Silence.

Yugi could almost hear the voice chuckling, and decided it was time to stop hearing it. Whatever he was to do...

He first needed to remember who that girl was. And it was no use asking her, she wouldn't answer him. He just needed to try and remember...

Outside, the rain had stopped, but Yugi had the feeling it would continue soon. He sighed and smiled slightly. Rain always had this strange effect on him. He would just smile and feel strangely peaceful inside...

But when there was no rain, then all would be gone. And right now, Yugi had a strange feeling... A very strange feeling...

~^:^~

Yami walked hurriedly towards Ellian's house. Her words kept echoing in his mind, and he was almost sure that she knew something.

Almost.

But if there was a hope that she knew... if Yami could finally find out where Yugi was... then he would be alive again. And he sure would run to wherever it was, and hug Yugi. Bring him back.

And then everything would be over.

He finally reached the front door. He knocked. And soon the face of a semi-sleepy Ellian greeted him. Sure she was not on her pajamas, but she should had woken up just half an hour ago or something.

"Hello, Yami. What brings you here at this time?" she asked smiling.

"Ellian, I need you to answer me." Yami said in a very low voice, and Ellian almost had to lean over to listen to his words.

"Uh... sure. Do you wanna come in?" she asked, but he shook his head.

"Do you know..." he began, and Ellian nodded him to continue. "... and answer me sincerely... Do you know... where Yugi is?"

Ellian blinked slowly, her eyes widening slightly. She then smiled.

"Why do you ask, Yami?" she asked. "I mean.... You know I don't really know where Yugi is and-"

"If I really knew I wouldn't be here asking you." He cut her off. "Now Ellian, I beg you... Do you know where Yugi is?" Yami asked again, and the longhaired girl stood there silent.

She then took a deep breath and nodded. Yami's eyes widened. He grabbed her shoulders, fury slowly coming to him.

"Why haven't you told me that before?! You knew I was trying desperately to find him! Why?!" he demanded, and Ellian blinked, trying to get out of his grasp, but his hold was tight.

"Yami..." she pleaded. She knew Yami was out of control, and it was all because he was apart from his light. And his angry self scared her. A whole lot.

Yami saw the fear in the girl's eyes and realized what he was doing, and let her go. The girl rubbed her shoulders slightly, and then smiled weakly. Yami muttered an "I'm sorry" and she nodded.

"I..."

"Take me to him." Yami simply said, and the girl looked at him, for it was more of a demand than anything else.

She looked into his eyes. Sadness, sorrow, hurt. And hope. What a week could do to this man if a day left him like that...?

Ellian slowly nodded, walking into her house. She grabbed her cloak, and then closed the door behind her, and started to walk through the still wet streets, the spirit of the sennen puzzle walking just beside her.

"Why haven't you told me before?" Yami insisted, and Ellian looked at the ground.

"Yugi left because he wanted, Yami. And little before he decided doing so, four of us had already noticed that there was something very wrong with him. We then realized the times Yugi wanted to talk to you, but was interrupted by Jounouchi or Honda or Anzu, who always got to you first. Yugi was being left out without you noticing." Ellian said, looking up again. Yami's eyes widened.

"You mean you knew why Yugi left too? Why-"

"We thought you could have realized it before something bad happened." Ellian said before Yami could end his phrase.

"Yugi being hurt is something very bad in my opinion, Mayani." Yami said, and you could tell he was quite angry with her. Yami never called Ellian by her last name. Never.

"Yeah, but there was a little bit of hope in us that made us believe that you would realize it before Yugi was hurt even more. But when you came back to us 2 days ago, and I saw the hurt in your eyes, we realized that the worse had happened. Or it was to happen real soon." She continued, before turning on a corner.

Yami only kept his head down. How could have he been so damn stupid?

"You said four of you noticed? You mean..."

Ellian nodded.

Before Yami could ask any more questions, he spotted a mansion over a corner. A mansion he knew who belonged to.

"There's no way..." Yami's jaw hang open. Never he would have believed Yugi was there.

"You wouldn't have thought he would be there, right Yami?" Ellian asked, smiling.

They entered the front yard, slowly walking towards the front door. All over the garden, there were red roses, violets, and lilies. All the flowers were still wet from the night's rain, and the very weak light of the sun reflected on the raindrops, making the whole place shining. It was really beautiful.

When they reached the door, Ellian knocked, and a maid greeted them. Before Ellian could say anything, a girl pushed the maid aside slowly, and faced Ellian.

"I thought you would be here soon." The back-haired girl said.

"Yeah, but-"

"Where is Yugi?" the voice startled the black-haired girl slightly, and she finally spotted the young pharaoh behind Ellian, looking very mad. The girl looked at Ellian with a look that said "Why the heck did you bring him here for?!"

"I know he is here, now take me to him." Yami demanded, and the girl glared at him.

"You don't order me around, Yami." She replied.

"Just take him to Yugi, Chris. Please." Ellian said, and the girl called Chris looked at her. She then sighed and nodded.

"Just follow me, and you'll get to see him." Chris said, and started walking up the main stairs. Yami and Ellian followed her, and the maid from before closed the door.

Chris lead them through a corridor, and then stopped at the last door from 5 (A/N: Mansions have many useless rooms.... *wonders what the other rooms are for*). Before she could reach the doorknob, Yami walked past her and opened the door.

There, sitting on the bed, was the reason of all his mind-troubles. The reason of his existence. The reason why he was still alive.

Yugi looked up at him, with wide surprised eyes.

"Yami?" he asked.

"Yugi..." the older teen (A/N: 3000 years can make one older... lol) whispered, and he could sense tears forming in his eyes.
