Upon his vision of the card, Yami was shocked, even grew a little scared. He took grip on the card from Yugi's hand, suddenly; haunting words pierced his mind as tender moments were relived. A sudden voice of disappointment and hatred pierced his ears and mind as if it were real. It shouted in utter disgust: 'YAMI! THIS WILL COME BACK TO HAUNT YOU SOMEDAY! I SWEAR UPON RA! YOU DON'T COMPREHEND WHAT YOU ARE PUTTING ME THROUGH! I WILL MAKE SURE YOU GET SHUNNED! YOU MAY BE PHAROH, BUT YOU ARE A MERE HUMAN TO ME..I WILL GET MY REVENGE.' A silver haired man grinned behind the curvy figure of the angry woman. Although he couldn't recall who these people were at the moment. Yami shook his head as he dropped the card. Running out of the foreboding cave. He reached the entrance, his boots hitting the grass harshly patting it into the ground hard with his weight. The group outside turned to his assault of their silent wait for their friend. "Yami? What are you dooin here?" Joey questioned. "Yami, what's wrong? Nothings is there is it? Is Yugi okay?" Tea asked lovingly with a worried expression ready to barge into the cave, despite if there could be a human eating goul in there or not. "Nothing.. Nothing in there at all. Yugi's just getting something.yeah, getting something" Yami tried to disguise his fear, but the others knew that whatever it was, it just HAD to be something utterly horrible to get the great sorcerer to freak out and leave his light in such a place. "Yami..?" Tristen was worried now. Upon hearing Yami try to recover his breath back, Yugi skipped happily out of the cave. His smile could cheer up Satan himself. Yami straightened up, not wanting to worry Yugi. "Yami? Why did you run out? Aren't you proud of the card I got?" Yugi asked with pure innocence and wonder in his heart. Innocence, like your unborn son. Yami gasped in horror as the voice came again. A soothing woman's voice. But at the same time it was evil, full of despair in it. "Where's the card Yugi? Where is it?" Yami demanded. "Oh! It's right here Yami. I don't wanna get rid of it. Please? Let me keep it. I will put it to good use. I promise Yami!" Yugi walked up to Yami and put a hand up to his shoulder. Yami surprised Yugi by shuddering and flinching under his grip. On the way home, Yami walked about 5 feet in front of the group, while the others walked behind talking about how weird he was acting. "What's his deal?" Joey inquired. " Dunno, Joey. I wish I could say myself. Usually he's talking to me through telepathy by now. But nothing. I honestly don't know now. I try to keep contact. But theirs nothing. Its like his mind is either to blank from thinking right now or there's too much for me to tap into right now. Just give me some time to talk to him tonight. I'm sure he just wants to be a little private about whatever his problem is right now. Probably just not sure how you guys would take it. You'll see tomorrow, after I get him to talk tonight, he'll be talking and explaining everything." Yugi explained. "Are you sure Yugi? I mean just look at him now." Tea said with a jerk of her head to the group to draw their attention over to Yami, who had his head glued to the ground with his face covered, and hands in his pockets. "Tea's got a good point Yugi. How are you planning to get it outta him? He seems to be pretty sensitive about this whole ordeal." Tristan stated. " Hmm.. Yami never looks like hes gonna cry no matter what. When he and you almost lost yo grampa to Pegasus, he never once even cracked. Just twitched his eyebrow a few times. But today? He's a new person.." Joey surprisingly estimated. Tea, ignoring this, said a quick fare well to everyone and turned to her street. As Tristan did the same a few more blocks down. "Yuug, you sure you can handle this yourself?" "Joey. come on. He's my Yami for heaven sakes. We have SOME kinda connection SOMEHOW." " Aight, tuff guy. You do this. Catch ya lata." Joey ran the rest of the way to his house. Yugi, now alone with Yami a few feet in front of him, decided to catch up to his dark and see what's going on. " Yami?" Yugi asked, coating his stuttering voice with a brave and firm one. " What is it Yugi?" Yami seemed like an empty vessel, just talking only. No feelings what so ever. " What's wrong?" " I doubt you will understand, Aibou." Upon hearing his little "pet" name, he felt a little better. But Yami only used this nickname of his when he felt very serious or very playful. And clearly playfulness was out of the question. Yugi sighed. This seemed to be rare... that something of Yami's emotions were going absolutely no were

*** Later on that night. ***

"Yami?" " what?" Yami's grumpiness and annoyed mentality were VERY clear to Yugi right now. Yugi decided not to reply. Excpesially if Yami was going to be like this. Yugi went to his dresser and pulled out some boxers with little dark magicians on them with the words, 'sorcerer' printed around the waist elastic, and a muscle shirt. Not caring if Yami was in the room, Yugi dressed himself in his usual pajamas. Crawling into the warm-comforting blankets, he found safety to the world. He peeked up, sighting Yami sitting in his desk, head in hands breathing heavily as if he were crying. " Yami! What's going on?!" Yugi was so worried, that just upon seeing someone he cared for so deeply and with a strong personality, seeing Yami cry was that most scariest thing in the world, making him want to cry also. Their soul and body connections didn't help Yugi either. He felt the pain of Yami when he attempted to talk to him. Yami still didn't respond to his light. " Aibou..," Yami said, lightly wandering over to Yugi's bed. He got under the covers as if to shield himself away from the world. " please Yami, tell me what's wrong. It hurts me to see you like this." Yugi was happy to see no tear stained trails on Yami's face. " Oh Yugi.may you never experience what I have. May you always remain pure to the heart. May you always remain my light." " Yami, please, load off your burdens on me, for I am here for you. I'll understand no matter what it is." "Yugi, in time you will find out. The secret is out and will come out even if I don't say anything- Yami was interrupted by Grampa who was shouting up the stairs at Yugi, who clearly, from Grampa's Yelling, that he forgot to clean the dishes. Not wanting to, but getting up fast and going down to his Grampa to finish his chores, Yami found himself alone. This was a bad time for the ancient live artifact to be by himself. He was getting what he deserved.

~ "YAMI! DON'T SAY THAT! WHY? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME?!" the woman bellowed at her lover. Yami's violent violet eyes, now red with lack of sleep, glared at this woman as if he had never known her. "Bitch. That's all your good for. Using innocent hearts such as mine. You're a prostitute. Get out of my castle. I don't ever want to see your rotten face again." Yami spat bitterly. The woman looked utterly horrified at her lord's last words. " PROSTITUTE?! I AM A SORCERESS OF HIGH CLASS. IT IS YOU WHO HAS DEMEANED ME. YOU WHO TRUST SUCH LOWLIFE TO HAND IN THE SOCALD TRUTH TO YOU. HOW DARE YOU?! YOU RUIN MY HOMELAND AND ME! YAMI I HATE YOU!" ~ Yami woke himself to a crying Yugi in his lap. He sat up, adjusting Yugi's head as he slowly drifted to sleep muttering something about Grampa yelling at him. Yami sighed as he watched the now sleeping Yugi. He stroked his hair, playing with his bangs. He looks just like me. I'm surprised how a reincarnation can look so similar. He's like a son to me in a way, he thought. "I HATE YOU MY LORD! THE "GREAT" PHAROH YAMI!" Yami jumped at the sound of the familiar female's voice echoed throughout his head, causing Yugi to stir. Yugi lay their innocently asleep. Yami had no intentions of moving Yugi for his own selfish sleep. He continued to stroke his hair, twisting his bangs between his fingers. He chuckled to himself, remembering how no one 5000 years ago would believe that his hair was natural. Gel wasn't out then and they all wanted to know how the royal family men had that hair. 5000 years ago. He was pretty old. A lot of things in his past long forgotten. Even though it was that many years ago, he was still stuck in the same 17 year old body that he was sealed as. Only now will he start aging like a normal human. He glanced back down to Yugi, admiring his face and body, like his own. Only with certain traits he carried that Yugi didn't. " I'm proud of you Yugi. You've come a long way since I have arrived. But no, I take no credit at all. this is all your doing. I simply motivated you. What am I to you? Even I can't read your complex mind in those thoughts." Yami traced Yugi's hair were his blonde streaks would be. "Goodnight Yugi." Whispered Yami in Yugi's ear, almost silently. He bent down and kissed Yugi's forehead. He leaned back against the headboard of the bed and stared out the window. He reluctantly went back to his other thoughts that night, watching the diamond filled velvet sky outside as a diamond was thrown across the sky. Yami did something he never thought he'd do when he was a pharaoh. He wished upon that star.
