Chapter 3 - The Dream and More Meetings
*~**~*~***~*~**~*~***~*~**~*~***~*~**~*~***~*~**~*~***~*~**~*~***~*
Yugi was angry the following day, and he had reasons for being mad. His Yami wouldn't let him get up and get ready for school.
"But, Yami, I have school! I have to get up now, or I'll be late!" Yugi was struggling hard against Yami's powerful grip on his shoulders. Yami had been holding Yugi down for twenty minutes now, and Yugi was close to tears from trying to get up. He was panicking, thinking that if he didn't make it to school, the world would end.
"Shhhh." Yami tried his best to calm down the anxious Yugi, with no luck. "I'll make you a deal, you can go to school this afternoon, if you're feeling any better."
"But, I have to go to school, and all of my homework is due-" Yugi suddenly realised he couldn't go to school. He'd have to face his teachers and convince them that he couldn't have possibly done any of the homework that they had given him. "Oh, no. My homework!" He exclaimed, and he let his tears splash down his face freely.
"Calm down, Aibou." Yami tried to comfort him, and held him as he cried. Yugi realised that Yami really did care about him, he had just used his old pet name for Yugi! Yugi looked up at Yami wearily.
"I haven't heard that in the longest time." Yugi frowned sadly; the old name brought back memories. Memories that were supposed to be happy, but only brought Yugi more grief, and reminded him of how long he had been separated from Yami. For one year. For one very long year he had gone without his Yami, and without happiness. Yugi drew back from Yami's comforting hold on him.
"Is there something wrong, Yugi?" Yami gazed down at his other half, and could see the boy's weariness washing over him. "You should go back to sleep, you need to rest. One more day, I promise. Then I promise you that you will feel much better." Yugi slumped back in his pillows, and held onto Yami's arm, tightly. Yami was unsure what his Hikari wanted.
"Thank you, Yami." Yugi let go of Yami's arm, and he fell into a restless sleep once again. But this time it was haunted by nightmares.
Yugi opened his eyes slowly, and he couldn't see anything around him. It was very dark, too dark in Yugi's opinion. He stood up slowly, and felt around, to see where he was. But there was nothing around him, nothing to touch or feel. He felt the ground around him collapse, and he shrieked out in shock and surprise. All around him he heard laughter, maniacal laughter. He shuddered as he fell for what seemed like an eternity. He could feel an icy cold wind reaching out towards him, and he couldn't shake off the feeling that something was watching him fall, waiting for him down at the bottom in the darkness.
"Yuuugiiiiii." An eerie voice whispered out from beneath him. It repeated itself several times, and Yugi was terrified of what was there when he would hit the bottom. "Don't try and hide, Yuuugiiiii. I will only find you. It is inevitable that I catch you." The voice whispered again as Yugi covered his eyes with his arms. He tried to think of happiness, but nothing came to mind. He felt the cold wrap itself around his body, and pull him towards whatever was waiting for him. It pulled him faster and faster, until Yugi hit the ground with a thud. He felt pain form throughout his body, and could hear an eerie sound of breathing somewhere close to him. He was shivering from the cold, and he tried to sit up. He gasped as he felt a sharp pain somewhere in his ankle.
"That's not nearly as painful as it will be once I have you to myself." The voice was just above him, and Yugi could barely see the glint in the being's red eyes as it hovered there. "I was bound to this place, just like all other evils and dwellers of the darkness. But I have been here too long, and I've found a way to feast again." Yugi could smell the horrid stench from the creature's breath, as it slowly lowered itself on top of Yugi. Yugi struggled, and tried to scream, but the creature lowered its mouth over Yugi, and he heard a horrible sucking noise, and unbearable pain followed. That's when the already dark world turned black, and Yugi fell unconscious.
"Yugi!" Yugi slowly felt himself being reintegrated with reality, and could feel the rough shaking that someone was giving. He opened his eyes uncertainly.
"Yami?" He said weakly, and felt the sharp pains return from his dream.
"Thank Ra you're all right! You were convulsing, and thrashing out everywhere, you wouldn't stay still. You were screaming at the top of your lungs! But everything's all right now." Yami hugged Yugi until Yugi could barely breathe, and Yugi pushed him away.
"I - I had a nightmare, and it was so real!" Yugi was breathing normally again, and he had calmed down. But Yami on the other hand was still fussing over Yugi, making sure he was perfectly fine. "I'm ok, Yami. I just - I'm a little tired, that's all." Yami hugged him again, and left. But five minutes later, he brought back a glass of ice water, and his two pills.
"You do need to get better. And you're not leaving until your fever goes away." Yami handed Yugi the water and pills, and pressed the back of his hand against Yugi's forehead. It was still pretty warm. Yugi finished the water gratefully. He was awfully thirsty, probably from all of the screaming that Yami said he had been doing.
"All right!" Yugi closed his eyes thoughtfully, and smiled up at his Yami. He made sure he used the look that always made Yami cave in, it was the innocent look.
Yami sighed, and hugged Yugi again. "Go to sleep again, Aibou. And don't worry, I'll be right here, so you're safe."
Yugi smiled, and fell asleep under Yami's watchful eyes. Yami didn't bother moving once from his spot beside Yugi's bed, to make sure that Yugi could feel his presence. And Yugi could feel his presence, it was a warm and fuzzy feeling in the back of his mind.
When Yami finally felt that Yugi was in a deep enough sleep, he left the room, and made sure that he was all right when he did so. And then again, there was a knock at the door. But it was a friendlier knock than the one that Bakura and Ryou had done. It was softer, somehow. He answered it with his usual grim looking face.
"Yami?" Tristan and Joey said simultaneously, with looks of pure shock on both of their faces. They couldn't believe their eyes.
"Yes? I suppose you are here to see Yugi. He isn't well, he's ill at the moment." Yami said in a neutral tone, having already told a lot of people.
"Oh, well, we were just coming to get him so that we could walk to school together. So does that mean he isn't going to school?" Joey snapped out of his shock, and spoke up.
"Yes, he will not be attending school today. Would you tell his teachers for me?" Yami actually smiled when Joey and Tristan both nodded in agreement.
"You - you look oddly different." Tristan remarked.
"Yeah," Joey agreed with him. "You look different. But then again, we haven't seen you since you left Yug all alone. You crushed his heart, you know that? But I could tell, even under that mask of his. He looked like he was in pain every day after you left. Why did you leave him? Why did you leave my pal all alone like that? Huh???" Joey was again defensive, and he clenched his right fist into a tight ball, and held it in front of him. He was shaking, for some reason.
"I had to leave him, it was not meant to hurt him. I wish I could have reassured him. And my appearance has changed because of my journey that took me so far away from my Hikari." Yami looked down at the ground. He was getting annoyed that everyone wanted to know every single detail about what had happened. "And that is all that I can tell you." He added after he saw the looks in their eyes. They both groaned, and turned around. Tristan looked back at Yami.
"Tell Yugi that we hope he gets better, and tell him that we dropped by." Tristan turned back around, and he and Joey continued on their way to school. They were both still surprised from seeing Yami at Yugi's house. So when Tea joined them, they both had to explain multiple times for her to completely understand that Yami answered the door, not Yugi, and that Yami looked so real, and that Yugi was sick and wouldn't be going to school.
Back in Yugi's room, he had woken up again, trying to listen to the voices he heard coming from close by. He could have sworn that they sounded like his friends Tristan and Joey. He shrugged to himself, and turned back over, but he didn't fall back to sleep. Instead, he ended up going and sitting down on the chair at his desk, and finishing the last of his homework. Funny thing, I thought that I had only finished a few pages. Yugi thought to himself, and frowned. Could Yami have done it? When he finished it, he replaced it back in his school bag, and fell asleep at his desk. It was pretty comfortable for him, he was surprised. Usually desks are too hard to be comfortable on. Oh Well, He thought again, and fell asleep.
"Yugi? Aibou?" Yami opened the door to his Hikari's room, and peered around the corner. He found him asleep at his desk. Yami shook his head, and put Yugi's unconscious body back in his bed. Yami then left, and found an interesting show on the television, it was an Anime series. To him it was pretty interesting, and boring at the same time. It was Angelic Layer, and after Angelic Layer, he found himself watching a weird show he found annoying. A show he found so irritating, and not to his liking, and so he turned off the t.v., and lay down on the couch. He lay there, deep in thought. He could feel that Yugi had closed off his link with him, probably ever since he had left. He sighed, and had a short, sweet nap. He actually dreamt that he was back in Egypt, only this time he had brought Yugi with him. And he slept with a smile on his face.

Sorry about this chapter being so short, but my annoying parents keep walking by the computer and watching me as I type. And my mom just warned and threatened me that If I didn't get off soon I'd be banned form the computer or something like that
-.-*sweatdrop*
So tomorrow when they're both gone (*cheers* Yay! ^-^) and I'm all alone again, I'll write a lot more of this story! Sorry, again.
Oh yah, thanks so much to all of my reviewers, I really appreciate your comments! ^-^ You all made my day sooo much better! ^-^
