The monsters were attacking. All through it, Yugi was mourning the loss of his other half, his best friend. All hell breaking loss became the biggest understatement. More so than saying the Grand Canyon is big. More than saying that cells are small. Dark magic, brute force, and anything else he could come up with were going.

The state of Yugi's soul room became worse than my room. Things became dark, puzzles disfigured, toys ripped, curtains ripped. But this time he didn't hide, attacks gaining power as his dark energy increased. /WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME!?!!?!?!?!?/ He fell to the ground on all fours. "I don't understand! Why did you leave me? Why didn't you tell me? I would have.I could've.I don't know!But I could have done something!" And the Master of Light gave way to the Darkness. "I loved you Yami!"

The creature's attacks were growing and growing. The monsters faded away one by one leaving a small boy lost in the darkness, no Yami to guide him out.
"Little boy, little boy, let me come in." He placed a shadow hand to Yugi's head. The turmoil he saw startled him so, that it jerked the youth back to reality.

"You killed Yami." No trace of anger, no hidden malice. Only sorrow and pain had room. One last tear worked its way down the small boy's face. He remembered when Yami would wipe them away. It got to his mouth. How many times had Yami put his finger there to stop his crying? The little tear, having just one purpose, dropped to the chin. Countless times a caring finger had lifted it up to see a tender face flashed through his mind. His last tear made its fall from his face to floor with a loud bang that could be mistaken for a gunshot. "This is my best, I've given my all. The outcome has yet to be a determined. I can only hope it will kill me. Please, kill me."

"That would be too easy for you. No, I will return for you later."

"You are wrong. There will be no later for you. And if I'm lucky, there will not be one for me, either."

"What are you blabbering about?"

"Look behind you." He smiled sadly. "The weight of my pain you've caused is coming to get you." Little shadow animals came out of the ground. "First, the shock of something happening, then the reality sets in. The sadness comes first." The little shadows jumped in him. "Then the fear." The creature howled in agony. "Right away Confusion comes to join its brother, fear. Then anger. Now," He added, "you know my heart." Everything exploded and Yugi was gone.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------

"Where am I? Oh. Obviously I failed." He looked around again. "Yami? You here?"

"Little one."

"Yami! Where are you??"

"Over here." He followed the voice.

"I don't see you."

"Almost there Aibou." He stepped out onto an area of sky but didn't fall. "You succeeded."

"Yami!"

"Yugi! You soul feels.different. Dark." He frowned.

"I lost you and so I became both Yami and Hikari. And losing anyone you're close to will turn your soul dark, and now that that is able to happen, it did."

"In any case, I'm glad we're together again and that you succeeded."

"Succeeded?" Yugi frowned. "But we're both dead."

"As well as the creature."

"But we're dead."

"Well, not quite."

"What does that mean? We're zombies or something? I feel like a zombie."

"No,no,no! This is a plane between death and the afterlife."

"So we can go on to the afterlife, or relive out deaths? Mmm, that's a really hard choice to make. I'll take A!"

"No. We are offered a choice between life and death."

"Why are we still here!? Lets GO!!!!"

"Its not that easy. For every person that dies, it's a being to die in their place. For every spirit that dies, it is a person to live."

"???"

"We have to stop one person from dieing."

"Oh! No prob! We only have one flaw in that excellent plan of yours. If you haven't taken any notice, WE HAVE NO MASS!!!!"

"Not hard to take care of. We are given a day to take care of this."

"That's it!?"

"Yes, Aibou."

"Oh, okay." Yami laughed.

"We'll do it." They fell through the sky. Yami and Yugi quickly created parachutes.

"I've always wanted to go sky diving!" He shouted.

"But we just died!" Yugi blinked then laughed.

"Not sky dieing, diving! Sky diving!"

"Oh! I have to agree. I like it too!"

"Open your chute!"

"How?"

"That cord dummy!"

"Yugi??"

"Sorry. That cord there. Watch." Yugi pulled his.

"Oh!" Yami imitated. "Its not working! Did I pull the wrong one?"

"Pull the emergency one!"

"???"

"The other one, Yami." They were both floating down towards the park where they had spent the night. Yugi steered them to the clearing. The two partners threw their gear aside and ran to his house.

"Now Yugi, the best way to break this to them is-"

"Hey guys! We're back!"

"Yami!?!?! Yugi?!?!!?" Yami sighed.

"- Not to do that."

"How-how-how-"

"Look, technically, we're dead. We have 24 hours to stop someone from dieing, or we are going to stay dead. Wanna help?" They nodded dumbly.

"This is not what the doc meant by relaxing at home."

"Sorry for all the surprises Grandpa."

"I'm glad I know.I think."

"Come on!"

"Wait."

"What is it Ryou?"

"Bakura!"

"He's back???" Replied a startled Yami.

"No, but he's a killer."

"So? I get it!" Yugi took on a sarcastic tone. "Oh sure. Realease a psychotic homicidal demon that we worked so hard to capture so we can kill someone so we can live again?"

"Uh, Yugi."

"That wasn't a dream?" Ryou and Yami shook their heads.

"Wow, that's gotta suck, Yuge."

"T'sokay. I tell you what. We can yak about it over sundaes once we take care of this."

"I think I'll stay here." Offered a frazzled old man.

"If you want to not see this, I'd suggest the kitchen."

"Yami? Honors?"

"Fine." Yami muttered something and Ryou winced.

"He-he-he-"

"Outside is better I think, than go ahead." He stumbled to the door with one hand on his head. Getting outside, they saw him change.

"What do you mortals want?"

"Nothing, just for you to go and never bother us again."

"With pleasure!" The Tomb Robber stalked off. The two pursued him at a distance.

"That was too easy."

"So?"

"He might have plan-AH!" The Pharaoh crumpled.

"Yami! Shalaam! Get your **************************************************************************** ****down here! Your pharaoh needs you!! Yami, what's wrong??" The Egyptian popped out of the shadows.

"I was watching as always."

"WHATS WRONG WITH MY YAMI!?!?!?!?!?!?"

"Calm down child. I can heal him for a short time." The soft blue glow encircled his hands again. Yami was healed, but didn't wake up. "Return to us." He woke up.

"Yugi! We need to find Tomb Robber! Who knows where he has gone!?"

"Yami, we're taking care of you. Send a message to Ryou. Mission aborted."

"I'm perfectly fine!" He smiled and began working a spell in his head.

"No spells Yami. Not this time. You're going to tell me this time."

"We should merge than."

"Okay."

"Thank you friend."

"Anytime Mas- Yami." He faded back into the dark.

"But who are we going to keep from dieing?"

"You.
