I'm back! ^_______^
Yami: Oh, we're *so* overjoyed.
;_; You're being mean. *pokes Yami's shoulder*
Yugi: *giggles*
Yami: *scowls*
Ahem! Anyways, lets not waste more time.

Inner World, Chapter Five: Deep Inside
By Moonnymph
Yugi stretched, basking in the bars of sunshine that streamed through his window. Ryou was still asleep, his chest rising up and down evenly. Yugi blinked, his crimson eyes dull with the glaze of awakening.
'It's too early.' He mumbled, flopping back onto his pillows. He burrowed into the cushion, wrapping his arms around it and sighing contently. Neither he nor Ryou got up for a long time.
~*~
Ryou rose and padded into the kitchen wearing his green slippers.
"Good morning Mr. Muoto!" He chirped brightly.
"Ah, good morning Ryou!" Grandpa replied. "Is Yugi still asleep?"
"I'm afraid so. I would hate to wake him up, he looks so peaceful." Ryou answered.
Grandpa nodded. "I don't like waking him either, but if I didn't, he'd be late for school!" He chuckled, remembering such occasions.
Ryou suddenly frowned. "What do you suppose that episode was all about yesterday?"
Grandpa's face darkened with worry. "I'm not quite certain."
Yugi stumbled into the kitchen, rubbing his eyes and yawning. "Morning." He mumbled. "What's for breakfast Grandpa?"
"Anything you're willing to make."
Yugi pouted, making the other ones laugh. "I know, waffles!" Suddenly energized, he darted around the room gathering the waffle iron and ingredients. Ryou and Grandpa stared as he flew about the room, a tri-colored blur.
~*~
"It was nice having you over Ryou!" Yugi was saying good-bye to his friend.
"Thanks for having me." Ryou smiled. "Bye Mr. Muoto!" He called.
"Good-bye, Ryou!" Grandpa called back. Yugi shut the door.
"I'm going up to my room for a while." The little one turned towards the stairs.
"Okay. I'll be sweeping out front." (Does anyone else notice he always seems to be sweeping? O_o)
The door clicked shut behind Yugi. He sluggishly made his way to his bed and carelessly toppled onto it. He shut his eyes.
Yugi slowly dragged his eyelids up. He was in an entirely different realm. It was a huge, open prairie, with one gigantic tree in the very middle of it. The sky was a pale lavender, tinted with the colors of the rising dawn.
/Where am I?/ Instead of being trapped within the boundaries of his mind, the thought reached out across the plains, echoing back faintly. Yugi jumped. Dark, forbidding storm clouds reached across the heavens. Quick dashes of white-hot lightning streaked down to hit the ground, making the earth shudder and split.
Yugi trembled. He did not enjoy being in this strange, unfamiliar world. He began to move towards the tree. A force, almost like invisible hands, was drawing him to the center of this secret land.
When the petite boy made it to the tree, a barrier rose up, blocking him. Yugi pressed his hands against it, a wall of glass. He peered into its depths. A perfect image was reflected back, his eyes closed.
//Come inside...// A whispery voice breathed. The barrier cracked, then shattered.
Yugi glided towards the only vertical structure in the midst of the flatlands. He pressed his hands against the rough bark, his fingers drifting down it, tracing every crevice.
He gripped the branched, delicately pulling his small frame towards the canopy.
Yugi settled down in the center of the tree, leaning up against a branch. A figure jumped down from the concealment of the leaves, startling the younger one. Yugi relaxed, recognizing the darkness.
"Hi Yami."
~*~
I think I'll end it now. I'm sorry it was so short, but I'm tired. It's our spring break, so I'm gonna try to update more frequently. Night!
