Ryou: I know what you mean.
Anthy: ...Without Anshi.
Ryou: Yep. Well...let's get going.

Silver Mist
Chapter Three: Black Buttons
Is it a kind of a dream
Floating out on the tide
Following the river of death downstream
Oh is it a dream?
Yugi still didn't tell anyone about the eerie rhyme the shadows sung. Yami didn't seem like he needed it right now. Yugi sat on the edge of the well and examined the stone that Spink and Forcible gave him. There didn't seem like there was anything special about it.
"Mew." Yugi looked at the all too familiar kitten that was next to him. He could faintly hear Yami calling for it in the mist that seemed to permanently hang around the house.
"Irisuuuuuu!!!!!!!"
The kitten paid no heed to the voice. It stared at Yugi's stone, and then at Yugi. It seemed to wink, and respond to Yami's voice.
"Irisu!" Yami cried as the kitten jumped into his arms.
"You really care about that black ball of fur, don't you?"
Yami was slightly offended by his hikari. He seemed to have changed. His voice was cold and...almost evil. Yami didn't know how to respond at first.
"Yes. I do care about him." Yami said firmly. Irisu meowed in agreement. Yugi narrowed his eyes and hopped off the side of the well, onto the damp grass.
"Baka yarro." He muttered, walking past Yami and not making eye contact.
Yami felt hurt. He let Irisu down and headed back to the house. He snatched his wallet, scribbled a note to Yugi and left. He needed to let off some steam. Maybe there was a shop around that he could just...
@@@
Yugi looked around the drawing room. He had been trying to open the door for the past five minutes. He saw Yami's note. And he hoped that his yami would stay gone. There! Yugi spied an old fashioned black key sitting on a shelf. He picked it up and slowly opened the once locked door.
He found himself walking down a long corridor. The light behind him was fading, and the light ahead of him was becoming brighter. Yugi reached a door, and was confused once it was opened.
He could have sworn that he just left his house...but this was a mirror image of what he left. He was back in the kitchen, or...the other kitchen. Something was wrong. Yami sat at the table, but...it wasn't him.
The other Yami was as white as paper. He was taller and thinner that the one Yugi knew. His fingers were long, spindly, and never stopped moving. They also had long, claw-like red fingernails. He turned to Yugi, who was frightened by his final feature.
There were black buttons sewn where his eyes should be.
"Yugi, you're finally here."
"I don't get it, where is here?"
"This is your home. Now, why don't you go and get ready for dinner."
Yugi found his room easily enough. It didn't look any different from his own, except that Yami's bed wasn't there, and there was a toy chest full of new toys and a dresser of new clothes of most people's dreams.
Dinner could have come from a five-star restaurant. Yugi was still slightly nervous around the other Yami. The black button eyes never missed a thing.
"After dinner, maybe you could play with the rats."
"What?!"
"Don't play games Yugi, you almost always play with the rats after dinner."
Yugi didn't like this, but he played along. The black button eyes were...
Yugi didn't want to think about it. No. Bad. Yugi actually spent the night there. The shapes were there again. They were watching him. Yugi heard them, gathering themselves. Hear heard their whispery voices again.
We have teeth and we have tails
We have tails we have teeth
We were here before you fell
You will be here when we rise
