"Hikari, are you feeling okay?"
"Yep!"
"Oooooookay..so what do you wanna watch?"
"Jurassic Park!"
"Yugi, Aibou, you get terrified every time you see that movie!"
"Do not!"
"Aibou-"
"Please!" Yugi gave the irresistible chibi eyes.
"Must.not.look.alright, alright already! Just stop with the chibi eyes!" Everyone laughed while a skeptical Gramps got out the movie.
"I'll get the blanket."
"Okay, Yu-Yami, how do you know he gets scared every time and always ducks behind the couch or a blanket?" He sighed.
"I am his other half. I've been with him for a while now. I see from his eyes. I sometimes watch him as you cannot see me, like this."
"YAMI! That's mean! Don't do that to them!"
"Sorry little one."
"It's okay! Can you reveal yourself now? I feel kinda silly talking to you when they can't see you since they know now." Yugi wasn't looking at the moment, but Yami flinched.
"Actually, I think I'll head into the puzzle if you don't mind."
"Aawwwww, but Yami, I wanted to watch it with you!"
"I'm terribly sorry Yugi."
"Okay Yami." He blinked. "Have you been playing with my red pens again?"
"Oh, yes Yugi, they're just so interesting. (no sarcasm) I'll see you later." He disappeared entirely."
"I hate it when he does that." Anzu didn't say anything, but the red didn't look like ink.

"AAAAHHHH!!!!!" The light dove under the blanket again. The show was barely started, but Yugi had already dived under at least ten times. A calm part was reached, and a relieved Yugi sat up. And a moment later was screaming again, not in fright but in pain, and holding his heart.
"Yugi!" The movie forgotten, his friends and Grandpa were begging Yugi to tell them if he was okay. He calmed down and was then holding his head.
"Yami!" He gasped.
"Are you okay? What's going on?!"
"Yami-shielding me-" And he passed out.
"WHAT DID YAMI DO TO HIM?!?!?!?" The two were separated, blood pouring from one's heart, nothing on the other's. A strange man everyone but Grandpa recognized appeared.
"My foolish Pharaoh! I told you to alert the young one! Ah, poor master, unable to shield his Hikari anymore."
"Shield from whom?" Inquired Ryou.
"Tomb Robber! Why are you here? Leave at once!"
"Hold it mister. I'm the FORMER Tomb Robber's Hikari."
"Then he is no more? How was he done away with?"
"My friend Yugi there got rid of them. Yami's Hikari." The Egyptian made no reply. He was reciting a spell, and a blue glow was coming from his hands as he laid them on Yami's heart. It faded and Yami shot bolt upright, shirt still stained.
"Shalaam, I have not enough magic left to clear this mess." Without a word, all the blood was gone and so was Shalaam. He looked around. Seeing Yugi, he jumped up. "YUGI!" A long string of ancient Egyptian, followed by its American and Japanese translation came out of his mouth as he ran to his Hikari. "Yugi, I'm so sorry, I tried to shield you from my pain. I'm sorry! **** me! ****************************************************!" Ryou, Anzu and Gramps stared at him. "Is he."
"No. This is my fault. I should have-I could have-if I had only-" Shalaam appeared beside his master and laid a hand on his head. The mighty ruler, once devoid of any weakness or emotion, collapsed with tears running down his face.
"Do not worry about either of them. My master is merely unconscious, as is little master Yugi." He snapped and they disappeared. "Pharaoh is in his Soul Room, and Little Master Yugi is in his quarters. I will come to care for them." He faded. Gramps stared.
"Who was that?"
"Shalaam, Yami's old friend and adviser and servant."
"He snapped and my grandson disappeared."
"He's upstairs."
"Why did he call Yugi Little Master?"
"Yami probably made Yugi his second master."
"I need to sit down."
"Do you want everything to do with this whole thing to be forgotten by you? To be clueless he has a yami, or that Bakura even existed, everything?"
"Yeah."
"You'll have to wait for Yami to wake up and stop blaming himself for everything or for Yugi to figure it out."
"Ok." He nodded dumbly, returning to this wonderful place between denial and shock. ~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:
Yami dreamed. Yugi dreamed. They shared the same nightmare. A horrid recollection of Yami's life as a Pharaoh. One of the worst. As it happened, it was his last day as a Pharaoh. It was his death day, and Yami remembered it clearly. Both halves tossed and turned. Yugi woke up screaming. 6 hours had passed and it was 11 at night. Gramps rushed in along with Ryou, Jou, and Anzu. The latter tree watched as he dove into Yami's soul room. Not even realizing he was speaking out loud, he woke up his dark side.
"Yami wake up! I know now, I do, I do. I'm sorry Yami, I should have pressed you further! I see what's going on now! I'm sorry!"
"So..they're both blaming themselves for the other's pain?"
"Yeah, Jou, it seems that way."
"Yug, snap out of it!"
//Little one, you're alright!//
"Yeah of course! Please tell me what's going on! Why's it happening again?"
//Not now Little One. You need to sleep.//
"Okay Yami." He came back to reality.
"What did he do to you Yugi?"
"Nothing, he was just trying to help me, shield me.I should've KNOWN!" He burst into tears again.
"Known what?"
"He's reliving his death, knife in the heart, over and over. It wasn't ink, it was blood! He's been hiding it and shielding me from his pain so I couldn't feel it but it was too much! Shalaam's been taking care of him and making sure he's okay, but I should've know! I could've-I could've. done. something!"
"Yuge, calm down. He was cursing in three languages when he found out you were hurt! Shalaam had to knock him out to keep him from going into hysteria, I think it was too late. Yuge, he was sobbing! Full out bawling!" Jou attempted to keep his friend from doing what Yami had done.
"He was? That upset?"
"Yes Yugi." Replied a slightly shaken Anzu.
"Anzu," He hesitated, "why aren't you guys at home? It's 11:00."
"We came to make sure you and Grandpa would be okay."
"He's in shock Yuge, he doesn't want to remember anything in relation to this."
"Yami's thing. He can erase certain things but leave others. I can't."
"Can you get him?"
/Yami? Come out please?/
//Of course.// The first thing he did was give Yami a hug who had tears in his eyes.
/He doesn't want to remember you or anything that relates to this whole thing./
//I see.// "Are you sure Yugi's grandfather?"
"About what?"
"Your memory."
"Yes! Will it hurt?"
"No. Goodbye Yugi's Grandfather."Yami raised a hand and said something in Egyptian as well as "transport!" . Everyone looked around. Yami and Gramps were gone.
"Puzzle. He's hurt again."
"Why?"
"Dunno. Gonna go help him." Yugi crumpled on the bed.
/Yami?/ Not hearing him, the Egyptian continued swearing heavily. /Yami?/ ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~ DON'T KILL ME!!!!!
