*********** H...Hikari!! A hand stretched out, grasping at the blackness. It struggled as it desperately tried to grab hold. Hik.. HIKARI! no.. Hikari... Don't go! HIKARI!!! The hand lunged forward to a face forming in the blackness. The face painly turned... Slowly darkness started swallowing it. "Hikari!" The hand tried harder to reach, then made a final attempt to grab at what now was total blackness. When the fist opened, a glint of gold shimmered.
"HIKARI!!!!!!"

Yugi uncomfortably tapped his pencil. He was supposed to be copying notes, but his brain just couldn't focus. Try as he might, he just wasn't interested in the arithmetic. All he cared about was that nagging dream he'd been having for over a week. Was it supposed to mean something? Or was it just...
'Yugi, what's the matter?' Yugi jumped in his seat, totally started by Yami's randomness, dropping the pencil to the ground with a loud "clack!" The half-asleep classroom jumped and turned to see the source of the sound. The teacher stopped, then smoothly turned to watch him grab desperately at the ground.
"Yugi" The teacher called firmly. "I can't have your clumsiness interrupting my class. If you can't take care of a pencil properly, them I'm going to have to take it."
"Yah-yes 'mam." Yugi muttered. He really hated this class. The teacher was a jerk, and none of his friends were in it. The only one he had to talk to was Yami. Which reminded him.
'Yami!' Yugi thought with gritted teeth 'Don't DO that! It freaks me out!'
'Well?' He pretended like nothing had happened. 'You never answered me.'
Yugi sighed. 'It's this dream...' He started to tell him, then stopped. How could he explain? 'Well, I've been having it for the past week, and every time it gets a little clearer. There's this girl, and she's calling for... a Kari or something. Then...' He stopped. That face... last night had been the first time it had actually appeared. Yugi struggled to remember it's features... but nothing came to mind. The only thing he could think of was its familiarity. He had seen the face before... but...
'Well?'
Yugi jumped again, eyes bulged and teeth gritted, letting out a small "Yeep!' The brown haired girl next to him made a funny expression and let an awkward glance in his direction. 'That Yugi kid is so odd. ..' she thought.
'YAMI!' Yugi let out a thought yell in his head. 'I swear, you're gonna give me a heart attack some day!'
'You never finished!' There was hint of a smile in his tone of voice.

'Yah, well, that's all there was.' Yugi lied. The face didn't really matter if he couldn't tell who's it was, anyway.
'Well, if that's all that's wrong. ..' Yami slowly added 'Then I think you've got worse things to worry about.'
Sure enough, on the blackboard, the teacher was scratching in the words POP QUIZ with her diminishing piece of chalk. The whole class groaned, and the teacher let out a shrew smile. "Well then!" She barked. "I hope you were paying attention! Everything away, pencils out! You know the procedure!"
Yugi moaned and slid down into his chair "I'm so dead. .." he muttered.
