Tenshi: Hi! Tenshi here!
Kerra: And me too, of course!
Yugi: Hey, we're here too!
Yami: Unfortunately.
Tenshi: I'd watch it if I were you, Yami!
Yami: Why?
Tenshi: Because I was planning on making this chapter a cute little Yugi and Yami brotherly love chapter, but if you don't want to....
Yami: 0_0 You wouldn't!
Tenshi: Wanna bet?
Yami struggled diligently against the restraining hands, but he was no match for their strength. "Yugi!" he called out desperately. In the lingering darkness, he heard his name called out with a terrified cry. "Yugi!" he cried, almost near tears. Suddenly, there was a piercing shriek and...
Yami: Okay! I promise, I'll behave.
Tenshi: Good. ^_^
Yugi: Hey, Tenshi?
Tenshi: Yeah?
Yugi: You wouldn't really hurt me would you?
Tenshi: Oh, Yugi. Sometimes I will have to. All for the sake of a story. But I promise I wouldn't mean it!
Yugi: Okay! ^_^
Tenshi: Cute! *huggles Yugi*
Kerra: Oh brother. Can we just get on with the disclaimer?
Tenshi: Okay! Yugi?
Yugi: I'll do it! Disclaimer: The only things that Tenshi own are herself, Kerra, and Lance. Oh and the title and the plot. Yami's Tenshi does not own 'Yugioh!'. 'Yugioh!' is owned by Kazuki Takahashi. Not her. So please do not sue. Thank you.
Tenshi: CUTE! *hugs Yugi*
Yami:Grr... _-
Tenshi: (thinking) You know what? I'm gonna put in that little snippet anyway. ^_^
Yami: 0_0 Wait a minute! You promised-!
Tenshi: Read and enjoy folks! ^_^
Chapter Two: Yami Troubles
"All I'm sayin' Yug' is that it could work," Joey Wheeler was trying to convince his friend after school. "I mean, I could make money off of 'tis."
"I wasn't saying it wasn't, Joey," Yugi admitted neutrally. "But don't you think you should come up with something you could already do? No offense or anything, but you don't strike me as the type to make cologne."
"I'm tellin' ya," Joey argued. "I was just fiddlin' around with all this stuff and *poof* I got cologne."
Yugi laughed. The thought of Joey on television selling cologne was just a bit too funny. The two talked about it back and forth until they reached Turtle Game Shop, which was Yugi's stop. Offering a round of video games, Yugi opened the game shop door, making the bell ring. Declining, Joey waved and went on his own way and Yugi went ahead into the game shop. Closing the door behind him, Yugi stopped short.
Standing before him, looking like a sleep-deprived high school student, was Yami.
"Yami!" Yugi cried. He knew that whenever Yami looked troubled that something was very wrong. So he was feeling panicky that Yami looked like he had just gone through hell.
Yami's eyes gave a flicker of recognition but for the most part, they looked haunted. Yugi's heart tore. Yami looked like he was being terrorized, but Yugi could do nothing to comfort his protector. "Yugi," he murmured, taking a step forward. But it seemed to be too much for the spirit, for his eyes closed and he fell slowly toward the ground.
"Yami!" Yugi's eyes widened. Catching his friend in his arms, Yugi looked down worriedly at his mou hitori boku. Then Yami's full weight was pressed down into him as the spirit suddenly went limp [1]. Being the smaller of the two, Yugi tried to distribute the weight more evenly. Then, as at most crucial moments, the phone rang.
Looking up at the phone then back down at his Yami, Yugi tightened his grip and half-carried, half-dragged the poor, bedraggled spirit to the couch.
Another ring.
Hauling Yami up onto the couch, Yugi quickly scanned to make sure his friend was comfortable. He felt his heart break at the distressed look on his Yami's face.
Another ring.
Doing one more check on his friend, Yugi dashed back into the game shop and to the ringing phone. 'Why is it a phone always sounds urgent?' Yugi wondered for a moment, then he picked up the phone. "Hello?" he asked.
"Yugi?"
"Tenshi?" [2] Yugi was surprised. He hadn't recognized the voice. The once so-cheerful girl was now sounding very worried.
"Are you having yami problems?" she asked, hesitantly.
He said, slowly, "Yeah. Why?"
"Because when I got home, Kerra was acting strange. Oh Yugi! At first, she was just staring into the t.v, then she started to thrash about! Her eyes were wild and it was like she didn't see me. I tried to get her to calm down, but it didn't work. She just barely stopped right now and she's just limp. If it weren't for the fact that I could hear her breathing, I would think she was dead!" The poor girl sounded near tears. "And I just got a call from Ryou. He says that something was up with his Yami too. When he got home, Bakura was stomping around the house and wrecking everything."
Yugi felt his face pale. "Bakura didn't-"
"No." Tenshi said, firmly, knowing too well what her friend had been implying. "He didn't. Quite the opposite in fact. As soon as he saw Ryou he calmed down and passed out right then and there. He called me and, of course, I don't know what to do. And I have to worry about my own yami. Oh Yugi, I don't know what to do!"
Hearing someone who was more hysterical then himself, Yugi switched roles and became the comforter. "Kerra," he soothed. "Have you heard anything from Malik?" Yugi couldn't help but worry that they had nothing from his friend.
"No," Tenshi was starting to calm down. "But don't be surprised if he calls up next."
"I know. Now listen. You go call Ryou back and tell him to bring Bakura over here. Then call Malik and see how he's doing. Either way, tell him we, hikaris, are having a meeting over here. And, to brink Marik along."
Tenshi paused. "Yugi, not that I don't trust you, but do you really think it's smart to have all of the yamis in one place?"
Yugi thought about that. Him and the other hikaris got along just fine. He and Bakura were good friends. Malik was a bit more insane but a good friend. And Tenshi was like his sister. The yamis, on the other hand, were another story.
Yami usually showed his emotions to no one but Yugi. Which made him seem a little stuck up at times. Add the pride that came with being pharaoh and you have a very noble soul. However, the other yamis all took different views on this.
Bakura was no longer the violent yami he used to be. He was as protective of Ryou as Yami was of Yugi. Problem was the only person he liked was Ryou. He put up with no one else, except Marik and sometimes Kerra. He no longer despised Yami, but he still didn't like him. The two would constantly argue and the only reason they hadn't killed each other was that their hikaris would always hold them back.
Marik was easily recognized as the most insane and sadistic of the yamis. He ignored his hikari and could care less what happened to him. At least that was what he always said. But Yugi could tell that if anyone messed with Malik, there would be hell to pay. Marik, however, was good friends with Bakura and pretended to have a crush on Kerra, if only to annoy her.
Kerra was had the most unusual relationship with the yamis. She was just as protective of her hikari and the other hikaris, especially Yugi. She knew that Marik only pretended to adore her and it drove her insane. She could usually put up with Bakura and the two were often found comparing breaking-and-entering techniques and Kerra giving tips on how to do pranks. However, it was Yami that drove her nuts. She was absolutely, positively, head over heels in love with Yami [3]. The female yami was Yami's friend, so he treated her with respect but even Yami felt embarrassed. The two were constantly teased for it and though Kerra paid it no mind, it embarrassed the heck out of Yami. Though she got along fine with the other three yamis, she was no peacemaker. If a fight broke out, she would be more inclined to join it, then stop it.
Yugi knew that all four yamis here would create a World War 3. However, in light that three of them were already passed out, Yugi was willing to take a chance.
"Tenshi, we don't have a choice," he answered. "Yamis don't go around acting like this. Something's up. And it's just a feeling that it's not good." With some reassurances and farewells, Yugi hung up the phone. He had a chilling feeling in his gut and he shivered. What would make yamis act like this?
~Yami's Dream Sequence~
'Where am I?' a very confused Yami, opened his eyes. To his greatest confusion, he found himself floating in a swirling vortex of darkness. Though he knew he should feel alarmed, he felt oddly calm. He closed his eyes once more.
Suddenly, the sense of gravity was on him and there was something firm beneath his feet. His demon eyes [4] fluttering open, he saw that he was surrounded darkness. For one panicky moment, Yami thought he had been banished back into the puzzle. Then, a soft glow of light appeared far in the distance.
"Yami."
Yami snapped into attention. He knew that voice. That was Yugi! What was his "little brother" doing here?
"Yami."
"Yugi!" Yami called out to him.
"Yami. Help me." Yami felt his heart tighten. His little [5] aibou sounded so scared. Walking slowly, Yami walked toward the light.
"Yami. Help me."
"Yugi, I'm coming," Yami soothed, walking a little faster.
"Yami."
The said spirit walked a little faster. Who brought them here? Why were they here? Did someone want the Millennium Puzzle?
Suddenly, he forgot all his questions as he heard another cry from Yugi. He was calling to him louder and he sounded terrified. Walking even faster, Yami threw off plans for revenge at the moment and right now all he could think about was getting to his hikari. Nothing else mattered.
Finally he got to the orb of light. It glowed brightly for a moment then dimmed down to show Yugi, surrounded by light [6]. He looked at Yami with fearful eyes but managed a small smile for his yami. Seeing his hikari safe from harm, Yami managed a comforting smile.
Taking another step toward Yugi, Yami felt something cold and hard grab his ankle. Surprised, Yami looked down to see a gray, zombie-like hand gripping his leg. Out of the shadows, more hands came. Some grabbed his arms, his legs, and his middle, each having a stand-fast hold on him. Trying to pull away, Yami felt his insides go cold at hearing a loud shout coming from Yugi.
Horrified, Yami turned just in time to see the same gray hands grab Yugi and pull him into the darkness.
"Yami!" Yugi barely had enough time to give one last terrified, helpless look to his yami, before he was no longer seen.
Yami struggled diligently against the restraining hands, but he was no match for their strength. "Yugi!" he called out desperately. In the lingering darkness, he heard his name called out with a terrified cry. "Yugi!" he cried, almost near tears. Suddenly, there was a piercing shriek and then nothing.
"Yugi" Yami cried, tears pooling his eyes. "Yugi!" But no one answered back.
The cold hands slowly loosed their grip and let the once proud spirit fall to his knees.
Yami couldn't believe it. His light was gone. He had never felt this sort of darkness before. When he had been in the puzzle, darkness and loneliness had surrounded Yami. But this was different. Before, Yami had never had a real friend and he had never known what it was like to be loved like a brother, like kin. Now that he had, the pharaoh felt a depression such as that he had never known. He couldn't live without his light. At that moment, Yami felt murderous. Whoever had hurt his aibou would pay. Dearly. The anguish he felt was uncontrollable.
"Yugi!" he wailed, looking up to where the sky would be and gasped in surprise.
There, right above his head, was the moon. But it wasn't how Yami remembered it. It was red, a crimson red. And it was dripping blood.
Suddenly, it all went dark for Yami.
~ End Yami's Dream Sequence~
"Yugi!" Yami cried, snapping up and his eyes wouldn't quite focus. He wailed his arms around. Only to be enveloped in a warm hug. Though he still couldn't quite see, Yami felt himself calm instantly.
"It's okay, Yami" Yugi soothed. "It's okay. I'm right here."
Blinking his eyes, Yami saw the room slowly come together. Looking around, he realized that he was on a couch and that his aibou was giving him a comforting hug. Relieved at finding his hikari once more, Yami wrapped his arms around his brother [7] to form a tight hug. Even though he had come to realize the nightmare for what it was, the feeling of losing Yugi still pained him.
Reluctantly breaking the hug, Yugi backed away to get a good look at his Yami. Casting worried eyes on him, Yugi checked to see if the spirit was really okay.
"Yami?" he asked slowly. "What happened?"
Too happy to even speak, Yami hugged Yugi once more. He would never lose his hikari. He couldn't let that happen.
"I won't let it happen, Yugi," Yami promised. "I won't let it happen."
Wisely knowing that his yami was in no condition to talk, Yugi comforted him. "I know, Yami," he soothed. "I know."
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ *
Not too far away, a pair of brown eyes gleamed and a mouth formed itself into a smirk. Looking into his mirror [8], he couldn't help but chuckle. "Poor, poor little Yami," he said, his eyes resembling that of a vampire. "Don't you realize it yet? There is nothing you can do to save your hikari. Absolutely nothing. I wonder how it will feel for you to watch the most important person to you get taken away from you." Giving an evil smile, he erupted into a laugh. And everything around him chilled.
Fin*
Yami: Yugi! Don't leave me!
Yugi: (pops up behind Yami) I'm right here.
Yami: (face faults)
Kerra: (re-reading chapter) I thought you said this was going to be a cute little Yami and Yugi bonding chapter.
Yugi: I thought so too.
Tenshi: (looking sheepish) I know, but I always wanted to try my hand at drama and then my brother had to come over and piss me off.
Lance: (pops out of nowhere) This chapter sucks! It doesn't even have Kaiba in it!
Tenshi: __ Grrr..
Kerra: 0_0 I don't think Tenshi should be disturbed at the moment.
Tenshi: He didn't like my work!
Kerra: He never likes your work.
Tenshi: 0_0 Oh yeah.
Kerra: -_-"
Tenshi: ^_^ Oh well. Anyway, Yugi can you tell all the nice readers to review?
Yugi: Okay. (uses puppy eyes) Please write a review. I have a feeling that if Tenshi doesn't get tat least two reviews for this chapter, she'll write an unhappy ending and kill everyone off.
Kerra: (looks at Tenshi) I thought you said you would never write an unhappy ending.
Tenshi: I know. But if I think no one's reading this, then it doesn't matter how I end it.
Kerra: I never thought about that.
Tenshi: Anyway, just two reviews please! And please review my other fanfics! Until next time, C'ya! ^_^
Key- [1]- This is not a shonen-ai fanfic. I have repeated over and over that in this fanfic that Yugi and Yami love each other as brothers. If you want to take it as shonen-ai, then feel free to. It's not because I'm a close- minded person (which I'm not) that I don't write shonen-ai. I just don't think I can do it. If you've read my bio, then you will find my reasoning. Anyway, you can read this anyway you want, then you can read it as shonen- ai. But I'm not going to end this with them confessing any feelings. I just write it as brotherly love. So please understand. [2]Ha, thought I wouldn't put myself in the fanfic, huh? It's okay. This is (probably) the only fanfic that I put myself in. [3]-Okay, this is not a mary-sue. At least, I don't think it is. What I think a mary-sue is, is a fanfic in where the cartoon character falls in love with an original character. If that is what a mary-sue is, then this is not it. Yami does NOT end up falling in love with Kerra (Kerra: Rats.) I just thought it would be a funny situation if one of the yamis did have a crush on Yami. Which Kerra does. Seriously. She has posters of him and everything. Same thing goes for Marik. I'm just doing it to be funny. Marik does NOT really love Kerra. He just acts like it to piss her off. [4]- LOVE that phrase! [5]- Yugi: I'm NOT little! [6]- He sounds like an angel, no? (hugs Yugi) CUTE! [7]-I'm getting really tired of putting " " around the word 'brother'. The point is that, by blood, Yugi and Yami are not brothers. But they do like to think of each other as such. Just to clear things up. [8]- NO, he's not looking at his reflection. He has this magic mirror, kinda like the one in 'Beauty and the Beast', except not as pretty. He can see anything he wants (which now sounds kinda nasty) but it doesn't have little roses all over it. It has a giant bat encasing the mirror and little red gems that form a border and they look like blood drops. And NO, I'm not giving away who 'he' is. (Not that it's not obvious enough)
Yugi- hikari
Yami- yami
Ryou- hikari
Bakura- yami
Malik- hikari
Marik- yami
Tenshi- hikari
Kerra- yami
'blah' = thoughts
"blah" = talking
2 reviews people! TWO!!! So PLEASE review!!! ^_^

Wisely knowing that his yami was in no condition to talk, Yugi comforted him. "I know, Yami," he soothed. "I know."

Not too far away, a pair of brown eyes gleamed and a mouth formed itself into a smirk. Looking into his mirror [8], he couldn't help but chuckle. "Poor, poor little Yami," he said, his eyes resembling that of a vampire. "Don't you realize it yet? There is nothing you can do to save your hikari. Absolutely nothing. I wonder how it will feel for you to watch the most important person to you get taken away from you." Giving an evil smile, he erupted into a laugh. And everything around him chilled.
Fin*
Yami: Yugi! Don't leave me!
Yugi: (pops up behind Yami) I'm right here.
Yami: (face faults)
Kerra: (re-reading chapter) I thought you said this was going to be a cute little Yami and Yugi bonding chapter.
Yugi: I thought so too.
Tenshi: (looking sheepish) I know, but I always wanted to try my hand at drama and then my brother had to come over and piss me off.
Lance: (pops out of nowhere) This chapter sucks! It doesn't even have Kaiba in it!
Tenshi: __ Grrr..
Kerra: 0_0 I don't think Tenshi should be disturbed at the moment.
Tenshi: He didn't like my work!
Kerra: He never likes your work.
Tenshi: 0_0 Oh yeah.
Kerra: -_-"
Tenshi: ^_^ Oh well. Anyway, Yugi can you tell all the nice readers to review?
Yugi: Okay. (uses puppy eyes) Please write a review. I have a feeling that if Tenshi doesn't get tat least two reviews for this chapter, she'll write an unhappy ending and kill everyone off.
Kerra: (looks at Tenshi) I thought you said you would never write an unhappy ending.
Tenshi: I know. But if I think no one's reading this, then it doesn't matter how I end it.
Kerra: I never thought about that.
Tenshi: Anyway, just two reviews please! And please review my other fanfics! Until next time, C'ya! ^_^
Key- [1]- This is not a shonen-ai fanfic. I have repeated over and over that in this fanfic that Yugi and Yami love each other as brothers. If you want to take it as shonen-ai, then feel free to. It's not because I'm a close- minded person (which I'm not) that I don't write shonen-ai. I just don't think I can do it. If you've read my bio, then you will find my reasoning. Anyway, you can read this anyway you want, then you can read it as shonen- ai. But I'm not going to end this with them confessing any feelings. I just write it as brotherly love. So please understand. [2]Ha, thought I wouldn't put myself in the fanfic, huh? It's okay. This is (probably) the only fanfic that I put myself in. [3]-Okay, this is not a mary-sue. At least, I don't think it is. What I think a mary-sue is, is a fanfic in where the cartoon character falls in love with an original character. If that is what a mary-sue is, then this is not it. Yami does NOT end up falling in love with Kerra (Kerra: Rats.) I just thought it would be a funny situation if one of the yamis did have a crush on Yami. Which Kerra does. Seriously. She has posters of him and everything. Same thing goes for Marik. I'm just doing it to be funny. Marik does NOT really love Kerra. He just acts like it to piss her off. [4]- LOVE that phrase! [5]- Yugi: I'm NOT little! [6]- He sounds like an angel, no? (hugs Yugi) CUTE! [7]-I'm getting really tired of putting " " around the word 'brother'. The point is that, by blood, Yugi and Yami are not brothers. But they do like to think of each other as such. Just to clear things up. [8]- NO, he's not looking at his reflection. He has this magic mirror, kinda like the one in 'Beauty and the Beast', except not as pretty. He can see anything he wants (which now sounds kinda nasty) but it doesn't have little roses all over it. It has a giant bat encasing the mirror and little red gems that form a border and they look like blood drops. And NO, I'm not giving away who 'he' is. (Not that it's not obvious enough)
Yugi- hikari
