Me: Hello everybody. *ducks as various objects zoom towards her head* OK I'M SORRY 4 SUCH THE SLOW UPDATE! This month has been the busiest ever. I now have basketball 2 days/week and I also have horseback riding and clubs once/week. But the main hold-up is school. I get a project like every week and the humanly-impossible load of homework doesn't help either. So take your anger out on school! *objects magically change position and charge towards school…*

I'll try to update at least once a week and at the most once/2 weeks. If I haven't updated by then check the review page; I'll review for my own story and give u an approximate time when I'll update. K?

Again, THANX SO MUCH FOR THE REVIEWS! And just for a little fun, I've decided that every 50th reviewer will win a prize. So keep reviewing to get there! ^_^

K, basically all the symbols are the same as last time except for one minor one that might only come in in this chapter, I'm not sure yet. Here it is:

"Quotation"- Ra/ other god talking

It will probably be mostly Ra, but I don't know if I'm going to put another god in here so I did that just to be safe. K now that we've got all that down on with the fic! ^_~

Chapter 4: The Vision

************************************************************************

Yugi stared up into space, his hands resting under his head and his covers all the way up to his chest. Even though his body longed to sleep, his mind said otherwise. The information Yami had given him wasn't just the type you could digest overnight, shrug, and put behind you. No, this was the kind that you would think about for days, and everytime you did, would come up with a new question. It left you shrouded in a blanket of mystery, and even though what you heard was information, what you got was inquisitions.

Yugi finally decided that this wasn't helping any, he had to get out of that cramped room and have some time to himself. He hastily closed his mind link with Yami; he was their only hope of defeating Sheantu, and he needed as much energy as possible, even if it wasn't a lot.

Yugi quietly sat up in his bed as shifted his body so that the covers were off him and his feet were left dangling from the side, mere inches from Tea's head. He quickly lifted himself onto the floor and silently stepped around his friends, chuckling mentally at the occasional, "Yeah, supersize it…" coming from Joey. He finally reached the door and closed it with a soft click.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

(Yami's POV)

Yami woke up to the blackness of his soul room, lost in his thoughts. 'I swear, if that sleaze ever gets to Yugi, he will pay.' He glared up at the "ceiling".

'Speaking of Yugi, I'd better check on him. Who knows what Sheantu would do.' However, when he tried to contact Yugi, he hit a mind barrier. 'Oh well, he probably closed it on accident. At least he's sleeping.'

But to Yami's horror, he wasn't. He was about to jump out of the puzzle and wake the others when he saw Yugi close the bedroom door behind him. 'Probably wants some time to himself, personally I don't blame him… I should go follow him though- no one is ever safe now a days.' And with a soft glow from the Millennium Puzzle, Yami appeared, his feet lightly hitting the floor, heading for Yugi.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Yugi sighed when he finally reached his destination- the small balcony connected to Grandpa's room. (*K, I know there isn't really one, but let's just say there is.*) He leaned against the railing and looked out at the small town, seeing only a few 3am lights, his hair gently blowing in the wind. Why couldn't life always be this simple, this peaceful? Why did it have to be so dangerous and … complicated? (*I was just listening to Avril Lavigne's "Complicated" so I had that word on the mind*) As he pondered in his thoughts, he found himself being jerked from reality and into somewhere else.

When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was darkness. 'Oh no, not again.' But wait, there was something…no, someONE. With long, straight brown hair and a friendly smile. "Tea!" Yugi yelled in delight. But as he was reaching out to her, she suddenly vanished.

"What, Tea where are you!?" Yugi ran to where she disappeared, and he swirled around in confusion. Tears welled up in his eyes as he frantically searched for her.

"Yo Yug, watsa matter?" a voice asked.

"Joey, is that you?" Yugi cried out in relief. He turned around and there was none other than him, looking concerned. He went out to hug him, but he, too, dissolved in a wisp of smoke.

"What's going on!?" A single tear slipped down Yugi's face. He felt a hand on his shoulder. "Yugi, its Tristan, are you okay man?"

Yugi looked up and saw Tristan, smiling at him. "Are you going to go away too?" he whispered.

Tristan looked perplexed. "What are you…" his voice started to fade, as did he.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

(Yami's POV)

Yami peered into Grandpa's room and saw Yugi on the balcony. He became alarmed as Yugi was laying on the ground, his eyes wide open. "YUGI!" He yelled as he rushed over to his aibou. He tried to wake him up, but was unsuccessful. "No…" he murmured and a single tear trickled down his face.

/Yami…/

'He's still alive! Don't worry Yugi I'm coming.' He vanished with a bright light.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

This was too much. Yugi fell to his knees and cried his eyes out. He cried for his friends, he cried for Yami. How he wanted him. And, as if to answer his prayers, he appeared, bending down to Yugi's level. Except this time, he was real, no illusion or deception. It was the real Yami.

Yugi threw himself into the open and comforting arms of Yami. It was amazing how just having Yami there could calm him down. Yami rubbed his back and tried to soothe the little boy, and it seemed to be working. Although Yugi was speechless, Yami knew that he appreciated him always being there. And Yami treasured having such a loving and caring person as his light. (*Awl, how cute! ^_^*)

For 5 whole minutes, they just stayed in the same position, cherishing each other's embrace. Until a mighty shake made Yami's caring enclosure turn into a protective grip.

Yugi was terrified. Even with Yami protecting him, what had enough power to do that? But then Yami provided the answer. "Ra." He whispered in awe.

"Yes Yugioh, its Ra."

Yami's face turned from awe to anger. (*in 3.2 seconds! Never mind, it's an inside joke*) "Ra, why are you doing this to my hikari?"

"I'm sorry Yugioh, but you weren't even supposed to be here in the first place, so I am banned to answer your question. The only one whom may speak is Yugi." And with a snap of His fingers, Yami froze like a block of ice.

"What did you do to him!?" Yugi screamed, the tears that Yami had stopped freely falling down his face. "Why?"

"Do not worry, nothing is wrong with him. He will return to normal when I allow it. He needn't know what I am about to say- you can tell him later."

Yugi, for the first time, looked at Ra. He had golden blond hair, glowing white skin, and was in robes of the highest quality. (*I don't really know what he looks like, so I made that up.*) "Tell me what?"

"Your message."

"Huh?"

"This is what will happen if you shall not succeed in defeating the dark one. If you do not vanquish the evil, this will come true."

"But how do I defeat him?" Yugi asked.

"Only you can figure that out. Use your heart and you will find the way."

"Wait!" Yugi shouted. But his attempts were useless as with a wave of Ra's hand the ground started to shake and he (*Yugi*) and Yami started to disappear.

"Follow your heart."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Yugi opened his eyes and saw Yami lying on the balcony next to him. "Yami!" he cried, shaking him. Yami moaned and when he saw Yugi, sat up. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine Yami don't worry about me. Honest."

Yami looked skeptical but ignored the feeling. "What happened?"

Yugi took a deep breath. "Ra told me that if I didn't defeat Sheantu, my vision would come true.

"Wait, slow down. What happened in your vision?"

"Well," Yugi sniffed. "I first saw Tea and as soon as I saw her she vanished. The same thing happened when Joey and Tristen appeared too."

"So you're saying," Yami stated. "That if we don't defeat Sheantu, all of them will be gone?"

"I think so." Replied Yugi sadly.

"But how do we defeat him?"

"All Ra said was, 'Follow your heart'."

Yami smiled. "Well, if you have to follow your heart, I'm sure you'll be able to. Your heart is as big as the pyramids and I'm sure that you'll be able to defeat him that way, even if you don't know what Ra meant. It's you Yugi."

Yugi returned the smile. "Thank you Yami. I know we'll be able to defeat them."

And they both looked at the beautiful lights of the small town below, two strangers in an unforgiving world.

Me: Sorry for the length but I know what I'm going to put for the next chapter so it should be up soon. I was going to connect them but it doesn't really fit with this one so I let it be a separate one. Let's just say this is an 'information' chapter. The next one will be really exciting, I promise!

Remember, if anyone has any ideas for any of my fics don't be hesitant to tell me! I mean, I don't want to write something nobody wants to read…

CYS! I hope… It all depends on the schoolwork… But I promise it will be updated by next Sunday, k?

Bye! Don't forget to review! ^.~
