Thank you all for taking the time to review. It helps me write faster.
Please read the song at the beginning. It's from the Pokemon first movie soundtrack and is very important to this story. Thanks

Chapter 3: Nightmares
If only tears could bring you back to me,
If only love could find a way.
What I would do, what I would give if you
Returned to me
Someday, somehow, somewhere.
If only tears could bring you back to me.
I'd cry you an ocean,
If you'd sail on home again.
Waves of emotion will carry you
I know they can.
Just Light will guide you,
And your heart will chart the course
Soon you'll be driftin' into the arms of your true north.
What will I do?
You know I'm only half without you.
How will I make it through?
Somewhere in his mind Yugi Mutou knew that it was just a dream, but that didn't matter.
He was walking in a never-ending rose garden. The flowers were large and their color vibrant. All of them were a deep crimson. The grass was green and cool under his bare feet.
It was beautiful and Yugi found himself smiling. He began to run out of sheer joy, but tripped and fell headlong into a puddle. He picked himself up and found himself drenched in sticky warm blood. He gagged and almost threw up.
"Yugi? Is that you?"
The boy looked up. There was Yami, he was upright, but was wrapped up in the roses that covered a wall. Their thorns had torn deep into the bare flesh of his neck and chest. His skin was red with the liquid that spilled from his veins.
"Yami!" The little one touched his hand and Yami weakly pulled away.
"Why didn't you come? I waited for you Yugi."
"I'm sorry. I'll get you out of here."
"No. It's too late now Yugi. The world will die."
Yugi was crying now, "I'm so sorry. Please forgive me."
Yami's large blue eyes locked with his, then went blank as his last breath escaped him a wet rattle. He went limp in his green prison and all dissolved into darkness.
"YAMI!"
*******
Yugi jerked awake with a cry.
"Yugi! Are you all right?" Anzu hadn't left with the boys.
"Yeah, I'm fine. It was just a nightmare."
Anzu's fair brow crumpled in confusion, "So why are you crying?"
The boy wiped at his face with the back of his wrist, "I don't know."
The girl looked incredulous, "I think you do. Your nightmare was about Yami wasn't it?"
Yugi's eyes welled up again, "Yes. Anzu, I don't know what to do..."
Anzu leaned over and hugged him close, "It'll be all right Yugi. It'll work out in the end, you'll see."
Yugi just cried.
