I know that I should be updating my other fics, but I just got another flame. Oh well. This is one my favourite fics so if this gets flamed, well...I don't know...please don't flame it.

Nothing will dampen my mood! My YGO Japanese DVD's (including the movie) are on their way! I never thought I would get them, but YAY! And I'm really sick. I had triple Biology and I had to do a presentation and I had a fever. Not good.

So be thankful I am updating and not going to bed like I want to! Anyway, to the nice people who reviewed THANKYOU! I love reviews! They make me so happy!

Anyway review replies:

JadedKatrina: See my new keyboard is working fine! I can update! I am loving your story, please update it soon!

Yamishadowcat22: You will soon find out why Ryou and everyone has 'forgotten' Yami. And the stranger will soon be identified!

Blackcat46: Thank you! I tried for ages to think up an original plot for my first chapter fic...and this was the result!

shadow star: New chapter is here! Thanks for the review!

Dia Starheart Motou: Thank you for your lovely review! I will reveal which is reality, but that's the key part of this fic, so I have to find a way to make it really good! I don't even know which is reality yet! I have a good idea which I'm gonna choose.

Thankyou to everyone who read/reviewed. I'm glad to know that other people like this!

~*~Slaying the Dreamer~*~

Yugi sat up and rubbed his eyes. He rubbed them again but still could see nothing. "Yami? Are you here?" He heard a noise from the corner of the room. Then the door opened and something was thrown into the room. The door slammed shut and locked automatically.

Yugi sat shaking, and not just from the cold. Whatever had just been thrown into the room was moving. He could hear slight sounds coming from the floor. Yugi curled up into a ball on his bed, through the darkness he could hear breathing.

"H-hello? Is anybody there?" Suddenly the movements ceased. Yugi got up from his seat on the bed and walked over to where he guessed the sounds had come from. "Are you okay?" Yugi held his hand out, searching through the darkness.

Something grabbed his outstretched arm and pulled him roughly to the floor. "Aaah! Help! YAMI!" "Shhh. Do you want the guards to hear you?" Yugi stopped yelling immediately. Whoever this was it wasn't Yami. The voice had sounded male, and harsh.

"If you stop yelling I'll let go, okay?" Yugi nodded and whispered "yes". "Good." The boy let go. "W-who are you?" The boy laughed. "Who am I? Does it really matter? I'm stuck here now. Whoever I was I'm not now." The voice held sorrow and pain.

"Oh. Well, I mean do you have a name? What do I call you?" The room was silent for a moment. "I don't remember very well. I used to be called Aibou, I think." "Aibou? That means partner, right?" Again silence. "I really don't know."

"I used to have several names, things that people called me. Especially one boy, we were very close." Yugi sat on his bed again. He had nothing else to do, he might as well talk to this boy until Yami came.

"So, what's your name?" "Yugi, I'm here with Yami. He protects me." The boy gasped. "That's what I used to be called by my friend!" Yugi sat forward. "You used to be called Yami?" In the darkness the boy was smiling, glad that he had remembered.

"Yes, I was called Yami. I remember now!! Yugi felt his stomach flip. "Do, do you remember me? Yami, do you remember Yugi?" Another silence. "I remember a Yugi, yes. But not very well. Were we close?"

Yugi had tears trailing down his face. 'Yami, he doesn't remember me! What the hell did those guards do to him?' "Yes, Yami. We were very close. I was your best friend!"

"The boy suddenly felt very guilty. He could hear the boy crying because he couldn't remember. "I am sorry, Yugi. But whatever the guards did to me, now I can't remember much. I don't mean to cause you pain..."

Yugi wiped his eyes with the sleeve of his prison uniform jacket. Whenever he woke up here he always wore ripped, dirty trousers and sweater.

"It's...it's okay. It's not your fault. I will help you remember again, Yami. But we have to get out of here!" "I agree on that. The guards have been less-than-nice to me." Yugi nodded as the door swung open.

The lights flipped on and another boy was thrown into the room. This time however as the lights were on Yugi could see who it was. "Yami? But if you're there, who's..."

Yami, confused, followed Yugi's gaze to the boy sitting in the middle of the floor wearing the same as them. He smiled up at them. His long, unkept blonde hair in his chocolate brown eyes.

"Bakura?!" Yugi was shocked, what was he doing here? "Yes! That was my name! I was Yami Bakura!"

~*~To be Continued~*~

Short chapter, I would have written more, but this seemed like a convenient place to stop ^___^ Yeah, another cliffy, but it makes the fic more interesting, ne?

Please review and hopefully I can get the next chapter up faster!
