Y. Haku: -sweatdrop-
Yami: -Sweatdrop-
Both: OH NO! NOT THE BIG GOOFY GRIN!!
Haku: Yes fellahs, the big goofy grin! And it goes out to all my fantastic reviewers! I... I... Feel so proud that you all take the time to review! And I would like to thank you all! So here! -Throws her reviewers plushies of their favourite Bishounen- Just my little way of saying thanks!
Y. Haku: Wow Haku, The big goofy grin usually means you're on a sugar slash caffeine rush.
Haku: Whoever said I wasn't? -Grins evilly-
REPLIES:
DracOnyx: Thank you Thank you! But believe me, it's not that good...
Y. Haku: Hey waitaminit... Catherine is...
Haku: SHUSH BAKA YAMI! NO ONE MUST KNOW THAT MY REAL NAME IS CATHERINE!
Yami: Uh huh...
Haku (or should we say Catherine?): Waitaminit... oh dammit.
Dagger5: Naah, that would be too cheerful. And whoever said I was gonna kill off Yami? -Evil grin-
Yami: Yeah, she wanted to kill off...
Haku: Shut-u-up!
Kinsako: You really want to read the rest? Well I'm flattered. As for where I left it, I couldn't leave it any other spot, cos this chapter is gonna be LOOONG (hopefully) and this chapter really needs to be all in one section.
Autumn Ann Star: Erm... well you see Summer, I'm forcing Yugi to sink into a pit of despair and resentment, to the point of near no return, until he's rescued by the most unlikely of figures... And Ann? I'm updating now.
Alina3: w00t! Go you! They sound like great B'day prezzies and once again I hope you had a great day. As for the story, I can't give anything away, no matter how much I'm dying to.
Koishii No Tenshi: Yupyup! No more Anzu, and here, you can join my group! RSPKA, the Royal society of Prevention of kindness to Anzu! We enjoy activities such as Voodoo doll making and pin sticking into aforementioned Voodoo dolls. -Rants on about this for awhile-
I luv Kai: You're another one who can join my association Yupyup! And I don't want your Muses to eat my soul! Protect me from them my Yami!
Y. Haku: No way man, you're problem, Catherine. -Snickers evilly-
Haku: MY NAME IS HAKU DAMMIT!
Yami: No it's not, it's.... dun dun dun dun!!!! CATHERINE!
Haku: -cries as Y. Haku and Yami jeer at her- Thank Ra that they don't know my middle name....
SoulDreamer: Yes, Yami belongs with Yugi. As for the swearing, OMR! (Oh my Ra) I never knew there were so many OTHER words to describe the evil filth of Anzu. -Starts swearing at her with you-
Curtis Zidane Ziraa: Updating now!
Setokaba: Meepers, you'll like what happens in this chappie if you want Yugi to not be a cry-baby.
I'll hurt you if you do...: Eeep! -Hides- Okay, okay then.
shadow-demon18b: Don't we all? -Grins evilly-
Star Girl11:I'm updating now... and Anzu should die horribly.
NOTE:
Okay, by popular opinion and votes, this story will not be made into a tragedy! And keep in mind that no matter how bad things will begin to seem, it'll all work out nice. I think this has been the longest Author's notes that I've done so far. I'll make a nice long chappie to make up for that though... but I think it was mostly Review replies... man, I never knew so many people would review!
DISCLAIMER: Must I really put this is?
Lawyer dressed in black: If you don't, I can throw you in jail.
Haku: Okay then... I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! No matter how much I want to own it.
DISCLAIMER 2: I also don't own the song Bother by Corey Taylor. (Kick ass song BTW.)

The Second Miracle
~~~
((Y. Haku: Erm, Haku, I don't get the title. Haku: I didn't expect you to. But I'll explain it at the end of the chapter.))
Yugi sat in his room, casting a look out through his window and down to the street below. A glorious sunset painted the sky a million shades of red and orange, but he paid no attention to this wondrous sight, ignoring it completely. He was watching instead, a slightly foreboding figure slinking its way towards the Game Shop, as Jou left in the other direction. There was something familiar about that prowling walk, but Yugi couldn't quite place it. He decided not to let it get to him, as the game shop was closed for the night. He shrugged and walked slowly down the stairs, to the kitchen where he picked a piece of fruit off the bowl on the counter.
As he was slowly making his way back upstairs though, he heard the back door open and cast a curious glance in its direction. His gaze hardened as he looked upon the one who used to be his partner, and though still his secret love, the one he loathed with a passion. Yami had not noticed him yet, so he slipped quietly away, before difficult questions were asked. He really didn't want to see the happy smiling face of his Yami right now anyway. He slipped into his room, and closed the door behind him, casting his gaze out of the window and looking down again. There still was the shadowed figure again, standing outside the game shop. If he had of been able to see the figure's face, he would have noticed the sadistic smirk upon its face. He sighed, pulling the curtains on the sight. He fell onto his bed and sighed. /Stupid Yami./ He thought, /How I hate you, yet I love you as well... I can't explain my feelings for you my dark, so why do I try? Day after day, I just want to stand there, look you in the eye and profess my feelings. But I don't. Why can't I? Am I afraid? Afraid of what you could do? What if you leave me? I wouldn't be able to handle that. I want you here, even if it means only in the house, and nowhere else. I just want you AROUND./
He heard busy footsteps coming from down below, as his Yami tried to make his own dinner, never understanding just how confused the pharaoh was, as he yet again got the knife out from the top drawer and walked to the bathroom, locking the door behind him. A gasp of pain rang out as he made the first cut of the night.
~~~
/Yugi knows I can't cook... Never having lessons and all... Never really needed them either./ If Yami thought he had been surprised when he spotted Jou and Honda having a heated row on the corner, that was nothing when he learned the reason of their argument. /Yugi... They said he had been cold and distant to them, but my light would never... could never.../ He sighed, as that annoying little nasty voice reared its ugly head.
/Ahh, but what do you know Pharaoh? When was the last time you spared a second glance towards the boy?/
Yami sighed, /Not in months. Maybe I should talk to him, after all, what could possibly go wrong?/ He pulled himself away from the stove, the contents of a large pot beginning to smoke slightly. He dragged his way up the stairs and lightly rapped upon Yugi's bedroom door. To his surprise, it swung open of it's own accord. He raised a perfectly shaped eyebrow at this, but walked into the room nonetheless, for the first time in many months. Looking around, he noticed several things that seemed out of place. One, his light's curtains were not open, and when Yami did open them, there was a horrible amount of dirt and grime upon them. Two, the room was an absolute mess, and it looked like Yugi made no effort to clean anymore. Dust bunnies as big as Yami's hand were around everywhere. Three, there looked like there was something on the carpet, splattered here and there, and even some of it on the bookshelf and walls. The splattering was a red brown colour and looked almost like it was... "Blood." Yami gasped, and stared about in horror at what had become of this place. What was wrong with his Aibou? And why wasn't he telling Yami anything? Could Yami be the problem? Had he said something, done anything to anger and upset his Hikari? Not that he could think of, but then, why?
A burning scent reached his nostrils and he raced downstairs again to put out the fire that had been his dinner. He sighed, his hikari's problems pushed to the back of his mind as he set about looking for the fire extinguisher. Yugi could wait, until the house wasn't in danger of being burnt down.
Because of Yami's abrupt departure from his bedroom though, Yugi missed him as he walked back to the room. Looking around briefly, Yugi sighed once, and changed gingerly with bandaged and still stinging hands, before collapsing on the bed and falling into dreamless sleep.
~~~
Yami was gone before Yugi woke up that day. /Probably out with Anzu./ The youngling thought bitterly as he set up shop for the day. He turned on the radio for some comfort. A slow mournful tune was playing, and a haunting male voice began to sing over the top of the sad guitar.
~Wish I was too dead to cry
The self affliction fades.
Stones to throw at my creator.
Masochist, to which I cater.~
/Yeah, that was right. Well, maybe not the self affliction part./ Yugi thought to himself, listening as the music seemed to describe his very feelings.
~You don't need to bother,
I don't need to breathe . I'll keep slipping farther.
But once I hold on,
I won't let go 'til it bleeds.~
/I'll hold on Yami, Hold onto you, All I want is to be with you, but I keep pushing myself further and further away till I'm not sure even you'll recognise me anymore./ Yugi sighed. /is that what I really want? It would make things a lot simpler, not being able to breathe./
~Wish I was too dead to care,
If indeed I cared at all.
Never had a voice to protest,
So you fed me, to die just...
I wish I had a reason,
My flaws are open season,
For this I gave up trying,
One good turn deserves my dying.~
My dying. The words echoed around inside Yugi's head. /I have so many flaws, don't I Yami? I'm short, I'm weak, and I'll bet you resent the fact that you always have to protect me. And now, well, my voice is gone, ever since you and Anzu fell in love. I really do wish I didn't care, but unfortunately, I do./ He shuddered slightly. The chorus repeated itself, the haunting refrain echoing through Yugi's mind and soul. This was followed by a guitar solo that seemed to pierce his very being.
~Wish I died, instead of lived
A zombie hides my face . Shelf forgotten, with its memories
Diaries left, with cryptic entries~
He chanced a glance into the glass cabinet in front of him at that point, where his sunken features could clearly be seen. The borderline anorexic boy sighed as he knew those lines to be true. It almost seemed as if this song was telling him about himself, playing all his emotions. The voice that was starting up again though was abruptly stopped with a "click!" Yugi looked up at whoever came behind the counter, for that was where the radio was kept. Sunken amethyst eyes met slightly psychotic red orbs, the orbs of the Bad ass himself, Yami Bakura. Long white hair flowed about tanned features and a cocky grin. His hair was more spiked than his counterpart though Yugi knew that since he had received his own body, the Tomb robber had mellowed, slightly. At least he wasn't as much of a raging psychopath as he used to be.
"Good song, isn't it?" The tomb robber commented, with the air of one commenting on the weather.
"What are you doing here? If you want Yami..." Yugi started, but the Yami cut across him.
"My, my Yugi, that's not like you. In actual fact, I just came looking for the dark disturbance I felt in this area." The tomb robber grinned flashily, the Millennium ring appearing through his shirt as he did so.
"Don't you ever get tired of doing that?" Yugi questioned at the display, having seen it countless times before.
"Of course not. It's as flashy as ever. And since when do you talk like that Yugi?" The tomb robber replied calmly, one eyebrow raised.
Yugi raised one of his in response, causing the tomb robber to chuckle. Straightening from his position of leaning against the wall, Bakura commented,
"It's alright Yugi. See I came here cos I heard you'd gone through a few changes. One of your 'friends' Honda I believe it was, told me you didn't seem yourself lately, and being the concerned friend I am..." Yugi scoffed. "Alright, maybe I'm not a good friend... A pretty terrible one actually. If you must know, I came to poke fun at the Pharaoh's Hikari. See how far I can push you. But seeing as that isn't going to happen..."
"What do you mean, Tomb robber, I would have thought you'd JUMPED on a chance like this?"
Yami Bakura laughed and slinked an arm around Yugi's shoulders. "You know what, little Yugi? This could be the start of a beautiful friendship. I really like the new you. It's a great improvement."
Yugi shook the arm off him and scowled at the tomb robber. "Just what makes you think I'd be friends with you?"
Bakura laughed once more at the Hikari. "See Yugi, I can promise you great things. I can teach you how to squeeze all your negative emotions into a little ball to be released upon your whims and desires. I'm you're ticket outta here, Black Hikari, and you know it as well as I do. Now, here's what we do."
~~~
Yami came home later that evening to find a rather large surprise on the counter of the game shop. "It's a note..."
'Yami,
It was nice knowing you, and I hope to see you around some time.
I'm starting a new life now, and I know you'll be fine without me.
I know you'll be fine with Anzu, seeing as you love her so much.
If you ever see me again, be surprised, because I don't plan on
coming back.
Best of luck,
Yugi.'
~~~
Anzu looked down upon the body of the small back alley kitten. The one that she had taken her anger out upon. She wiped the blood off the blade, before placing the cat's slashed body into the dumpster behind her. The blade was certainly sharp enough. "I'm coming Yami..." She whispered, a glint of madness in her eyes. "If I can't have you, no one will..."
~~~
Yami: -is trembling slightly- Anzu is after me... Anzu is after me.... Gaah! SAVE ME!!!!!
Y. Haku: Catherine, that was evil, leaving a cliff hanger like that. And NOW will you explain to me just what the title means?
Haku: Nup! See, I'm going to see if the readers can figure out exactly what the chapter title's relationship with blood is. The person who figures it out can have the caffeinated drink of their choice, a full set of YGO! plushies, a bag full of sugar, and a chapter dedicated to them!
Y. Haku: At least give me a clue!
Haku: Okay, I guess so. It's something important that happened to the Hebrews people, the Hebrews!
Yami: -Eyes widen- OOOoooohhh.... Very clever, Haku. Very clever.
Haku: Why thank you Yami! Now would you all do me a favour and R&R?
