Yami's eyes widened in horror as his worst fears engulfed him in an eternal grasp. It can't be.~ Yami looked up, glaring at Patrick with all the utter hate a Pharaoh could offer to a lowly being. Patrick started trembling as Yami's eyebrows starting twitching, a deadly sign of his fate. The mighty Pharaoh looked down at his sorceress, then up at Patrick, grunting he spoke slowly. His voice incredibly deep now. " What have you done Patrick? Hmm..? What have you done.?" Yami's twitching eyebrow increased as he slowly walked over to his opponent's side. Patrick was so scared he seemed to be glued to the spot his pathetic mass had taken up. " Answer me! You imbecile! What is it that you have done! Revive her! NOW!" Yami spat acid through his speech. " Yugi, she. she is a card. She'll be fine ne.next time you play. her card.." Patrick started crying as what he thought was Yugi neared him closer. " Oh really? A mere card. Hmm. should I take that to heart? Or should I take out YOUR HEART!" Yami bellowed in utter disgust. He grasped Patrick around the neck as he was lifted into the air. " Yugi. please stop. What are you doing?" Patrick squeaked for dear life. If he didn't die of this punishment he was receiving, he was sure he would croak of a heart attack at the surprising act that 'Yugi' was giving him. Yami looked up at him in utter disgust. His eyes widened as he realized what he was doing. And why? Why was he doing it?! He let go of Patrick causing him to land harshly to the plush grass. He sped home so quickly, he pondered if his speed just had to be inhuman. Yugi took over the now younger looking body, as Yami stayed in his own body, crouching over himself as he cried harshly, almost bitterly, into his hands. Yugi kneeled next to him, extending an arm over to his darks shoulder. Much to his surprise again, Yami flinched under his feather like touch. Yugi's eyes widened as he watched Yami attempt to regain his composure and run to the house, into what Yugi assumed to be their room. Yugi stood up, looked over to the battle scene that had taken place, and noticed what the drama had been about. The Mystic Sorceress was still lying there, her chest rising and falling harshly as her reddish-brown eyes reflected the sun. Her arms sprawled out opposite each other. She looked like she was crucified, only she was on her back. Yugi cautiously walked over to her side, unsure what was going to happen. His experience in living cards obviously showed him to be oblivious to this subject. Obviously, no one had to deal with this before. He knelt besides her. His caring personality told him to pick her up, although she was his height, and most likely his weight, he didn't want to drop her. He decided to stop worrying about dropping her, he was positive if he had her in the right position he wouldn't drop her. Extending one arm under her knees and another below her shoulders, he exhaled and lifted her. To his great surprise, she was pretty light. ~ Humph, so I am not as out of shape as I thought. ~ He carried her to the house, her face still looked flush as well as her glazed-over eyes. Her rubies still big as ever, her mouth still opened slightly, gasping for air. She still stared upwards, which was not the sky anymore but Yugi's face. He looked down to her and merely smiled at her, which she did not return. She looked like a card character, matching her masters determined attitude. Just.worn out. Yugi made his way over up the stairs to the guestroom, with great difficulty, for he had to continue shifting her weight so he could get each leg up each stair. He slowly bent over, gently placing her tanned body upon the bed. He looked at her one last time before dismissing himself from her room. Quickly scurrying across the hall back to his room, he found a head of deep blue under the covers, shaking incredibly, back facing him. Yugi cautiously walked over and sat next to the broken down Yami. He placed a trembling hand on Yami's back comforting his dark. He realized that Yami was too soaked up in his sorrows to actually respond or rather feel the skin contact. He casually bent down and closed the gap between them, hugging Yami's backside. To his shock, Yami quickly turned around as if Yugi were going to run away forever. Yami clutched onto Yugi's grip for everything he had. Yugi hugged him tightly feeling his shoulder become slightly soaked. Although he didn't care, he wanted Yami to feel better no matter what the cost may be. Thanking the gods it was Thursday, he had one more day to go before he was out of school for winter break. But what exactly was he going to do when the two would be alone together tomorrow? This girl seemed to cause his Yami to the verge of extreme sadness and depression. He would just have to lock her in her room. He couldn't risk anything happening between them while he was gone. He wanted to know what she was doing to mold Yami into such a weakling. Yami slowly let go, looking into Yugi's eyes in wonder. They sat like that for quit some time, just staring into each other's faces. "Yugi. I am in your debt.. I don't know what I would have done with myself if you weren't here. And I thank you for that." Yami sniffled a tear. It was so out of character for him to be like this. " Come now Yami, I refuse to have you staying up all night for me. It's my turn to take care of you." "But what about you Yugi? Where are you going?" Yami questioned. He seemed to have picked up Yugi's curiosity. He seemed to have forgotten of the Mystic Sorceress. "Don't worry about me, I will be in here soon." Yugi was holding responsibility firmly in his hands when he almost tripped down the stairs when the phone rang. "Hello? Grampa! Hi! Hai, the house is in top condition. Where are you? ..Oh" Back up in the room, Yami listened intently as his light talked into this wondrous machine. Yugi quickly took the time out to lock the door across the hall from his and Yami's room. Yugi trudged into the room. Yami, sensing his soul seemed to weigh down, he asked his light what was wrong. "Aibou, is there anything wrong? Anything you wished to talk about?" Yami pondered, attempting to hide the hurt and stabbing sensation upon his mentality and heart, he knew he had to be strong, he was like Yugi's. he just had to be strong for Yugi's sake. "Grampa's going to be gone for quite some time. He was at his friends house teaching his Godson to dual, when he got sick, along with his Godson, so. he'll be up there until January hits. He wont be here for Christmas." As Yugi spoke, he took off his usual outfit and dropped it into the hamper, leaving only his undershirt and boxers. Yugi sat on the bed, looking rather depressed forgetting Yami's sudden change of emotion. " Come now Aibou, don't be so distressed! It'll be you and me! We'll have a wonderful time!" Yami said disguising his still hurt feelings. " Well, I guess. I was just looking forward to Grampa being here and spending some time with me. I mean, I don't have a father, it would be nice to spend some time with SOMEONE." Yugi covered up in the blankets ready for sleep to possess him, not paying attention to the hurt look that crossed Yami's face.

**A few hours later***

BEEP BEEP BEEP!! "Argh! Yugi!! Do it now!!" Yami grouched, pointing a kingly finger he was so used to using at the alarm clock. Yes, the usual morning ritual was here. " Unuh." Yugi groaned, his tongue half-flopped out as he slithered his way over to the clock. " Get up Yugi! School!" Yami said as he flopped the blanket off of Yugi. " How can you get all peppy so quickly in the morning?" Yugi groaned while shivering. " Because I know once I get you up and off to school, I get the WHOLE house and the WHOLE BED to myself!" Yami stated, literally squinting his eyes in pride and happiness. Yugi simply groaned at Yami's sudden outburst of morning humor and headed for his usual morning shower. " Eh.. Beats me why he's so grumpy." Yami said unusually dumb. Within a few minutes, Yugi appeared at the doorway hold a towel around his waist. Yugi looked up from his daze on the floor to find Yami snickering. Provoking Yugi at his morning hour, wasn't a very good idea. "Yugi! Have you gained weight?!" Yami chuckled. " No, why?" Yugi was about ready to slap Yami a good one, despite if he was a few inches taller. " Look!" Yami walked right up to Yugi and had the guts to begin the poking of Yugi's flat tummy which had a very SMALL but ALMOST visible lining of a six-pack which Yugi was working hard to get still. " What about you Yami! Look at you!!" Yugi just about almost ripped off the robe Yami was wearing to reveal Yami in his boxers only. Although, there was a HUGE difference now. Yami's stomach was beautifully lined with a perfect, hard, golden-crisped tanned, six-pack. Yami flashed a grin worth a trillion pounds of Egyptian gold. " Yami! That's it! I'm sick of your crap!!" Yugi thought for a split second of the worst insult he could muster up. Without thinking he said the wrong thing though, " If you don't shut up! I'll. I'll sick the Mystical Sorceress on you!!!" Yugi screamed out. He suddenly stopped breathing as he realized what he had said. "Oh Yami." " No. its okay Yugi, you have finally gotten something out of your system which you have been waiting for a while now. And in fact, I am glad in a way that you have." Yugi saw Yami's eyes begin to tear up. Niagara Falls crept down his violet eyes. Horrible screams and memories of the past came flooding back to him. I HATE MY GREAT LORD, PHAROH YAMI!! I HATE YOU!!! " Yami I'm so sorry. I should have known you were only trying to make me smile. Oh god, Yami if there is anything you wish of me! Just ask! I'll. I'll even kill myself! Yeah! I will rid myself of." " Shut up! Can't you see it's enough of you to say that, yet alone start saying you'll kill yourself! I cant stand to loose another person Yugi!" Yami surprisingly embraced Yugi tightly. Yugi held on tightly. Yami fell to his knees. He sniffled before he spoke again, this time his voice was deeper than ever, deep and dramatically filled with emotion and sorrow.

" Yugi. I didn't know you took your appearance so sourly. I should've been considerate of your feelings. And for that I grant you my greatest if apologies." Yami sniffed while mentally and physically flinching at his ghosts of memories slapped him over and over again. " Yugi, get dressed. Your bus will be here shortly." " But what are you going to do while I'm at." Yugi said worriedly as he remember were their Mystical Sorceress was at the moment. " I will be taking a nap young one." Yami said distressed. His sins were really getting to him now, that his own Aibou had said something. " Oh ok." Yugi simply stated feeling a little lighter remembering that she was locked away in the guestroom. Yugi quickly got dressed, grabbing a cereal bar as he opened up the front door for his exit, when a hand on his shoulder whirled him around. It was Yami. He embraced Yugi once more, lightly grazing his lips on his forehead. Yugi was extremely surprised by this. He smiled at his dark once more before running to the now honking bus at the front of his house.

*****

Yugi came skipping home. He took out his keys like he usually did, although he was surprised that Yami hadn't been there to open the door up for him, like he had been doing the past week, ever since he got that card. He shook off his thoughts. He wanted to ask Yami of something. He was going to the mall with a group of Tea's friends. All the girls were giggling as they asked him to go to the mall with them, but when he refused, they acted all sad like they were about to cry and literally begged him to go. He smiled as he kept replaying the event again and again over in his head, causing him to smile at numerous times in the day. He turned around as he opened the door, to lock it back in place. He let out a huge breath ready to scream for Yami's requested presence in the kitchen when he heard something of the utmost unusual. This noise, or rather, voice, was so bitterly beautiful. It frightened him as well as made him want to listen to it more. Although I was in a different language, it was beautiful whether he understood it or not. He froze dead in his tracks. This song. he heard Yami sing it in the shower before, and then again when he slept upon his lap that night. He never thought twice about it. But not it was coming from an obvious woman's voice. He tilted his vision up the stairs into the sun- lit hall. Reality slapped him with a silk-gloved hand as he realized that the guestroom door, which was directly in vision at the very top of the stairs, was open. He was determined to see if his dark was okay, but at the same time, his fear slowed him down, as well as the singing voice. But none- the-less he was VERY determined to go up those steps. But slowly that is. He just about tiptoed up the stairs going EXTREMELY slow as he listened to the mystical voice of what he assumed to be the Mystical Sorceress, the voice getting louder as he stepped up.

Kyun Baar Baar... Ah Ko Me Tum, Kuldivun Le te Haa. Oh ohh.. Naa so te Hum. Na muche co tum. Sone de ti haa.. Oh ohh..

Kyun Baar Baar.

Yugi quickly accelerated his legs forcibly as he walked down the hall to his room. He walked in to find Yami dead asleep lying on his back on his bed. The Mystical Sorceress sitting at a chair, her right hand holding his folded hands across his chest, as her left on his forehead, protectively. She smiled as Yugi walked in.
