I AM SO SORRY! I have been so overloaded with core projects and home ec. Projects, it's rather overwhelming. I haven't even gotten a chance to work on this fic.
Yami: Well, it took you long enough.
:P
Yugi: My, aren't we mature. -_-;;
Yup! And I'll update Into the Looking Glass when I'm done with this chapter.

Inner World, Chapter Four: Eyes of Shadow
By Moonnymph
Yugi yawned and slumped against the couch cushions. Seto got up and began to gather his books. Joey and Ryou were also packing up when they heard a frightened voice behind them.
"Don't leave me." Yugi begged, his eyes beginning to cloud over. Everyone sat down rather quickly.
"C'mon Yugi, we won't leave if you don't want us to." Joey reassured his best friend.
"He's right, we'll stay here." Ryou added as an afterthought. Seto, however, fidgeted uncomfortably.
"Actually, I have to go home...Mokuba can't be by himself for too long after school." Yugi blinked, and shook his head.
"That's okay, Seto, we understand."
Yugi's grandfather interrupted the conversation next. "You boys run along now, Yugi will be just fine."
"I can stay with you, Yugi, if you want me too." Ryou said in his soft voice.
"Sorry guys, but Serenity's coming to visit, and I gotta get home soon. See ya!" Joey said, heading out the door.
"Bye Joey!" The other two called after him.
Yugi yawned. "I think I'm fine now, Ryou. You don't have to stay here if you don't want to."
Ryou shifted warily. "That's all right Yugi. It's not a problem at all! And it'll be nice to have some human company."
Yugi and his grandfather gave him curious glances.
"My father isn't home very often, and my mother passed away a long time ago." Ryou said quietly. The Muotos did not know how to respond.

Yugi went into the bathroom to change. When he stepped out, he cautiously knocked on the door to his room.
"Are you done?" He called.
"It's okay Yugi!" Ryou answered.
Yugi opened the door to find Ryou sitting on his sleeping bag.
"How are you feeling?" The British one asked.
"I'm a lot better now!" Yugi responded in his naturally cheerful way.
"That's great!" Ryou smiled. "Good night Yugi." He said, sliding into the bag.
"Hang on, I've got to take out my contacts." The tri-hair colored boy said suddenly.
"You wear contacts?" Ryou inquired curiously. 'How did I not know this?' He wondered, bewildered.
"Yup. I have for a long time." Yugi faced his bureau, carefully folding the lens out of his eye. He put both of his contacts away in the special white case. He turned towards his friend, blinking a few times. Ryou was stunned at the subtle change, yet everything about the little one looked different.
"Yugi! Your eyes...they're red!" Ryou blurted out, surprised. Yugi nodded. His eyes sparked in the dim light of the room, gleaming like liquid flames. It freaked out his friend.
"Well, good night Ryou." Yugi mumbled sleepily, crawling in between the sheets.
"Good night Yugi."
~*~
"Well, I'm glad to see you came back, little one." Yami smiled, his deep baritone voice echoing about Yugi's soulroom. He was sitting on the boy's desk, comfortably swinging his legs.
"Yami?" Yugi squinted up at his counterpart, eyes heavy-lidded. The expression made him look even younger. Yami chuckled, gazing down at the hikari.
"Shh, go to sleep, I'll see you soon." 'The boy is obviously tired.' He thought to himself.
"Aren't you going to sleep?" Yugi asked, close to dozing off.
"No, I'll wait up for you. By the looks of it, that shouldn't be very long." Yami couldn't go to bed, not until his light was resting.
"Okay, if you're sure..." Yugi's eyelids drifted closed, his breathing even and peaceful. Yami leaned forward, brushing the jagged blond bangs away from Yugi's face.
"I'm sure."

Okay, people. I apologize for the slow (and not very long...) updates.
Yami: Got that right!
Quiet you! Anyways, feel free to send me an e-mail when you're really impatient or if I'm taking a really long time to update. I'm the kind of person who needs a slight kick in the ass to do something.
About my name...I chose it because nymphs are the half-goddesses in Greek mythology, and I love the moon. THOSE ARE THE ONLY REASONS! Ahem, please review!
Yami: Well, it took you long enough.
