A/N: Upon your requests Nagareboshi & Emerald Phoenix524, I have begun a sequel just for you and all the fans of the first story! Enjoy!
Brief Summary: After having his light back, stronger than ever, Yami and Yugi's camaraderie gets closer than ever before; but Yami's darkest side is demolishing because of his compassion for his angel, and decides that retribution is needed before it ceases to exist. But having faced Yugi and barely surviving, the dark Yami concludes that the only way to stop him, is to take the darkness from the light; Now Yugi is struggling to save Yami before all he knows crumbles from around him and the darkness corrupts him forever…
I couldn't think of a great title yet, so I decided to write this and upload it onto the end of 'Shadowing Glory' for the moment, and I want to know whether you think that I should continue to upload it onto the end, or should post it up as a separate fic? Please tell me in your reviews with your comments; I'd appreciate it a lot!
P.s. FlameRaven, a 'schism' is a parting.
P.p.s. All of you 149 wonderful comments have really made me ecstatic! I never dreamed my first Yu-Gi-Oh fic would do so well! You by far, are the best section I have ever written for! And it's even more amazing when a writer with such calibre as Mystic Dragon praises the story!
The whole story is dedicated to all of you!
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh. Full stop -_o.
Sequel: Part 1 – Callous Appraisal
A couple of weeks had passed since Yugi had made his recovery from his exhaustion, and already all had been forgotten; In fact, things had improved as a result. Yugi sprinted in through the front door, throwing his bag from his shoulder off onto the floor, and hurdled onto the sofa. With a glow, he watched excitedly as Yami came from it, out in front of him. Yami couldn't help but chuckle at the 'Cheshire Cat' grin planted on his angel's face. "Good day?" he questioned, and Yugi began to chat on about all that had happened.
It had recently become a daily routine between the two.
"Oh," Yugi energetically added, "We're going out tonight."
The friendship between himself and his Yami had never been better; the two were closer than ever before, and Yami had become more open to him, and he had noted that the pharaoh even had quite a good sense of humour.
"We?" Yami replied, lifting an eyebrow.
Otherwise, things were back to normal. Though he had to put up with constant querying from his friends, within a week or so, all was forgotten as Bakura had returned from his long vacation in England and had many tales to tell.
"Uh-huh. I volunteered your presence, hope you don't mind."
Yami sighed as Yugi added in an innocent blink of his sweet violet eyes, "…Fine."
Wondering how it could be possible, he watched as Yugi's smile grew as laughed contently. He was well aware that Yugi knew that he couldn't turn down a request when he blinked innocently and smiled sweetly; he would often use it to his advantage when it came to the matter of Yami's social participation.
"We're all meeting up at the park in about half an hour, then we were gonna go see a movie and get something to eat."
"…Okay."
Yugi couldn't help but laugh at Yami's response. He may have been the 'King of Games' but when it came to getting their way, he just couldn't win. "Innocence is a virtue, and the movie is an action flick."
"…Good," Yami said as he walked into the kitchen, "tea?"
"Please," he added sweetly. Victory like this was quite fun, as he was discovering.
Yami smiled, before freezing on the spot as he felt a cold chill down his spine. He quickly dismissed it, and flicked the switch on the kettle.

With the Mystic Elf contently deep into her book, the Dark magician rose from his seat under the giant shady oak and decided to look about for something to keep some interest about. It was another beautiful lazy day, and an excuse for doing as little as he pleased. He stopped and took watch of the Celtic Guardian as he skilfully swung his sword about, practicing his swordsmanship. He suddenly stopped, and grimaced, before sliding his sword back into its case and grimacing as he wiped back his lime hair from his face.
The Dark Magician approached him, and put a hand on his shoulder. "What's wrong?"
"Hmmm, I just can't help but fell something unlucky is going to happen,"
The Dark Magician suddenly frowned. "You're right… I've got a bad feeling…"
Celtic Guardian tilted his head, then looked at the Dark Magician, "So has Mystic,"
He folded his arms across his chest, and upon receiving a quizzical look, said, "I just heard her mutter it. This really can't be good…"
The Dark Magician's expression grew sombre, "I don't like this at all…"
* * * * * *
"I told you it would be fun," Yugi commented as he walked in and pounced onto the couch happily, "and it seems you're aware of it by that grimace," he added after getting an odd look.
Yami slumped down on the sofa next to his angel, picking up a pillow and playfully throwing it at him. "You should consider going to bed," he said.
"I can't, I'm not feeling tired,"
"…Is that so? Go up to bed."
"I won't be able to sleep," Yugi answered, lying back on the chair, "Can't I put on a movie?"
Yami sighed in defeat, and Yugi jumped up, and picked out the one he wanted to watch whilst Yami reluctantly switched on the television, and set the channel, waiting for Yugi to put the tape into the VCR and press play.
It was quite ironic that within 20 minutes, Yugi was fast asleep, snuggling against Yami's left side and some cushions. Yami decided he would stay up and watch the rest of the film, then take Yugi up to his bed and tuck him in, without waking him.
Unfortunately, within another 20 minutes, Yami was slumbering too.
~Yami gazed round at his unknown surroundings and grimaced as the chill returned to his spine. He squinted his eyes to try and make sense of the fogged ambience, as he cautiously scrutinized all around. Something dire filled the mood… as a hand grasped down tightly on his right shoulder; Yami grabbed hold of it, and pulled it down harshly, throwing the body over his back and into the air. He watched as the figure ably righted itself, landing perfectly on its feet.
Yami stepped back and growled calmly "Who are you, and what do you want?"
The figure laughed out loud. "Why ask questions if you already know the answer?"
Yami's eyes widened. 'It couldn't be…'
"You know who I am, because… I am you! Or, at least formerly you," the dark Yami submerged from out of the shadows and grinned evilly at him, "I will get retribution for what is happening…!"
Yami blocked as a fist came at him, then ducked under a swooping leg, and jumped back avoiding a falling heel. "…Retribution…?" he gasped as something wrapped round his ankles holding him to the spot.
" I will not allow you to carry on!" the darkened Yami spat out, as the darkness swirled up his arm and into his hand, forming a black sword, "I will end this," he said as he swung it at Yami's head.
Yami luckily managed to swerve out of the way in time. The dark Yami began to back up, making it clear that was only a warning shot. "Heed my words," it said, leaving them echoing as everything began disappearing as a blinding light filled the air. ~
"Yami?" Yugi questioned, having woken from his slumber and noticing the look of discomfort etched onto his face. His sleepy violet eyes looked on with concern.
Yami sat forward, wiped his eyes and shook his head, "I don't know," he then looked round at Yugi, "why are you awake at 3:45 a.m.?"
He shrugged, "I just woke up for some reason…"
Yami slowly rose off of the sofa and stretched out a bit, "You should go up to your bed and go back to sleep," he commented, before returning into the Millennium Puzzle.
Yugi nodded, and drowsily rose, clambered up the stairs and dived into his bed, snuggling into the covers.
/Night…/ he then curled up, and shut his eyes, falling fast asleep.
But Yami couldn't do so himself, he was to busy trying to comprehend what had just gone on. He had uneasiness inside about it, knowing that this more than likely was to do with his recent amity with Yugi…
'You are your own greatest enemy…' he sighed as he folded his arms behind his head, pacing up and down. He just wasn't aware of just what his darkest side was capable of… even he hadn't ventured there…never once in all the millennia he had lived…
But it was more reassuring that it's anger was directed at him, at least it couldn't be fatal…
To Be Continued…
