disclaimer: ...I do not own Yu-Gi Oh!...or...Yami....*SIGH*....but that's just a misunderstanding between the creator and myself.

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

hey, I was really happy to see that all of you enjoyed chapter 5...that makes me feel good because I was aiming to please and I was extra glad to see that you all found it amusing. Sorry that it takes me so long to get a chapter out, VERY busy with college ending and now working. I'll try to get a chapter out monthly, again, gomen nasai... take care and enjoy! ^.^

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yami sweatdropped watching Isis ranting to no one in particular but herself; commenting about how men are all the same. The rest Yami figured it best to just ignore, and by doing so he found his life to be much easier.

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can't believe him! He comes back, gives me some kind of cryptic "I know now about my past" bit and everything is just fine and dandy?! Doesn't he realize how worried I was about him?! I thought something terrible had happened to him and that it was going to be all my fault and--- .....Is he ignoring my ranting???....He IS!

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'...Uh oh....Isis is looking at me...I've seen that look before, the one women get...something bad always follows...'

Yami takes a step away from her slowly and smiles nervously. "...Well, Isis....I should be returning to the game shop now, Yuugi's Grandfather will wonder where he is..."

'...Back away slowly and then if she advances, head for the stairs quickly...'

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

....Now, I know why Seto Kaiba loses his patience with my Pharaoh...he's impossible. However, he is my Pharaoh, and I do care for him...I just wish he would consider my feelings and....

Hey! Where does he think he's going?!

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yami booking it up the stairs just as fast as he can go. '...What a day, what a day...sucked into a tablet, chased by monsters, met some dead guy in a dress claiming to be my father, yelled at by a ranting Egyptian woman...at least I didn't get challenged to a duel by Kaiba with his "I will be the new Yu-Gi Oh!" ...yada, yada, yada bit...after he reaches that part the rest just goes right over my head. Note to self: Kaiba's speeches remind me of the kid who has the teacher whose voice has that annoying tone to it that no one can understand. ...What was kid's name? ...Brown...something Brown...'

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I cannot believe this! He left! He really left! ....The nerve! ...Fine...that's just fine...I know where you live, Yami! ....Oh, been spending too much time with Malik...I'm starting to sound as obsessed as he is. Now there's a scary thought...

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'...Damn...that woman can run...,' thinks Yami who is now leaning against the side of a building, staying out of sight. '...I'll just come back another day...'

"Hey Yuug! What are you doing!?"

'....Yup, blonde is definately his natural hair color....How is it that he and the rest of the population fail to notice the difference in height and facial expressions between myself and my Aibou? Must be something in the water....'

"...Yes, yes...Jounouchi...Could you please lower your voice?"

"What are you doing?! Hey dude, it looks like you're hiding from someone, is that it???"

'...Why do I even bother?...'

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

...I know he was there just a moment ago...shouldn't be too hard to find him in a crowd; that hair of his could be compared to the flags they use at the airport to guide the planes in.

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So dude, who are we hiding from???"

'We? When did this become a joint venture? ...And...does he know how stupid he looks leaning up against that wall? Ack! Is that what I look like?!' He quickly moves away from the building wall and straightens up, regaining his composure.

"...Look, I don't know what you're doing...but I..."

'...He is kid's friend...must try to be civil...let's try this again...'

"...Jounouchi, don't you have some place to be? ...Someone who needs you? ...Friends? Family?..."

"...Hmmmm....," Jou thinks long and hard about this, before coming up with his answer, "Nope. I don't have anything to do this evening."

'....Damn....maybe I could find a traveling band of Gypsies to take him off my hands for an hour?...Kid is trying to read my thoughts; hate when he does that. Should suggest reading a book or taking a nap, after all it is myself who does all the work...I hear crayons are a wonderful past time, maybe he could scribble on the walls of his soul room?'

"...Why not go annoy...IMEAN! Why not go visit Honda? You two ARE best friends, right???," he sighs, looking around to see people passing by.

"...Yeah, that baka and I are good friends, but we're good friends too Yuug! Right buddy?!," exclaims Jou as he gets Yami in a head lock.

'ACK!!!! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!!!'

"Jounouchi...what...ARE...YOU....doing????," he asks in between gasps for air, trying to push the baka off of him. "Can't...breath.... get....off..."

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hmmm...I wonder what could be drawing such a crowd? Perhaps I should go and see?

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Oh Ra! Oh Ra! People are staring! Can't get the baka off! Must not resort to violence; violence never solves anything...Oh, I've been spending WAY too much time with my Aibou. Soon I'll be resorting to his "Let's all be friends" line of thought...or worse...I could start blabbing on and on about friendship speeches. (Note to self: Anzu: Nice girl, try not to spend too much time around her). Wait...I could lose valuable brain cells with all of Yuugi's friends.,' he sighs, '...Some days it just doesn't pay to come out of the puzzle...'

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Excuse me. Pardon me. Can I get through please?," asks Isis as she makes her way through the crowd of people. "...Now...what is so---"

She witnesses first hand a scene not appropriate for under age viewers. (Children please shield your eyes, the following material may leave the viewer with traumatic images. You've been warned).

Jou has Yami in a head lock still and is giving the Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh noogies. Yami's arms flailing and his legs kicking madly; with what appears to be some form of gibberish coming out of his mouth (aka: an ancient Egyptian dialect).

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Stupid stupid mortal! Why must I be subjected to such embarrassing acts?!' He suddenly turns red and sweatdrops. '....Oh....she found me...not like the blonde one made it too hard for her. You leave me no choice...'

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yami stops flailing and points in a random direction. "What's that? An all you can eat buffet cart going down the street?!"

"What?! Where?! Sweet!!!," Jou yells, dropping Yami on his ass and running through the crowd in hot pursuit of his next meal.

'.....................................................................................'

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

...Well, there's something you don't see everyday. I should have come to Japan a long time ago. I'll just try to not to laugh as he sits on his ass in the middle of the alleyway. Oh, hell, failing miserably...

I do, however, find it quite interesting that he can barely remember anything in relation to his past, but can perfectly recite every obscenity known to man in our language.

...Wonders never cease to amaze me...

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'...Oh...I am going to have to hurt him...yes...perhaps send him to Egypt on a one-way trip...have him visit the Nile crocodiles? No, too many witnesses...'

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Isis slowly makes her way over to the lump sitting in the alleyway, and holds out her hand to him.

"...Need a hand?," she asks trying not to laugh at him.

Yami sighs and rolls his eyes, sweatdropping. "...Thanks...," he replies, taking her hand and slowly standing up.

"Now, my Pharaoh, please say that you will meet with me tomorrow afternoon. Events will soon come to be and I fear for your safety; if you are not prepared, and with no real sense of your powers, I'm afraid that you will not be able to defeat this evil."

"I will do anything to ensure the safety of my host and his loved ones."

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is good that you have found ones who care about you, my Pharaoh. However, the visions my Millennium Tauk has predicted, show your life (as well as theirs), being full of sorrow.

I can't help but worry. Will my brother really destroy you? How? And why? Are the only questions that run through my mind. To think that my own brother could do such a thing; it is apparent, though, that the spirit within the Millennium Rod is controlling him. What would my Pharaoh think of me if I were to tell him that this evil coming for him, is in fact, my own flesh and blood?

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

She suddenly looks lost in her thoughts. Could it be that she fears what it is she knows? ...Is there no way for me to stay with my Aibou?

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"...Isis?," Yami started, his voice breaking her train of thought.

"Hai, my Pharaoh?," she replied, noticing that she had been lost in her thoughts.

"...Are you trying to spare me from having to leave my host? Is it better that I leave now; for there is no hope of keeping him safe if I am to stay?"

"...Oh, Yami...I cannot tell you what is right or what is wrong. Your path is one that only you alone can choose; I am merely here to guide you."

He stood before her, his eyes watching hers for the truth. "You did not answer my question. Is it best that I leave? Will my host and the ones he holds dear be hurt if I am to stay?"

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you are to leave, Yami, then perhaps they would be safe. However, I know not for sure how long; it depends on my brother and how desperate he becomes. If you left, would he use them to lure you out?

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"...I do not think it makes any difference whether you stay or go. This evil will find you and all you hold dear. If you stay, you will be an easy target, yet if you go it would only lure you back, by some means."

"...I see...then you will tell me tomorrow what I must do to defeat this evil...," it was more of a statement than a question.

"...I..."

Before she could finish he was gone, walking across the street as the moon appeared through the clouds, lighting his way.

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

...Will the truth be too much for him? Would it have been best if I had never come to Japan? ...Only time and the new tournament will tell... Oh Malik, I do so hope you will fight this evil...there must be some shred of goodness left in you...

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'...Tomorrow, I will know whether or not staying with Aibou is the best thing to do...'

/Yami?/

//...Hai?//

/What happened today? ...You seem so distant and you shut me out.../

//...My apologies, Aibou...I just have a lot on my mind...//

/...Yami.../

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Later that night while Yuugi slept, Yami sat at the end of his Aibou's bed, watching him sleep.

'To think that, something (or someone), is coming to destroy you. I wish for no harm to come to you, my Aibou. I have thought of leaving you, but where would I go? And for how long would I be gone?,' he sighed softly as he looked out the window, at the night sky. 'I know you would try and help me, if I were to tell you. However, why should I burden your life, when you finally have all that you have ever wanted; friends.'

Yami slowly closed the blind in the window and sat on the window seat, in the darkness. He felt as if it suited him, the natural darkness, much like his soul; it was easy to be lost in the darkness after all.

'...If only I could remember everything about my past. Earlier today, when I touched the tablet and met my father...,' he sweatdropped at the thought, '...he mentioned that my powers came from within. Could it be that my emotions trigger my powers? ...and what of these powers? Granted, the Millennium Puzzle gives me a great deal of power, and the Eye of Horus, as Isis mentioned at one time. ....How is it that I was able to call forth an "energy" ball in my very hand and use it against a God?,'

He sighed, resting his head against his knee, which was propped up. '...I feel that my life suddenly got a lot more difficult...'

@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That's it for now, I'm very short on time. I'm sorry that it's so short and I promise that next time I will make it longer, I just wanted you all to know that YES I am still alive and so is this story, just that life gets in the way. I hope that you got a few laughs out of it, and that you're still enjoying the story. I'll have a new chapter up w/in the next month, I promise! Hoping for a few reviews...please??? ^.^ Ja Ne
