P.S. I'm most likely gonna do a little story about Yugi when he was younger around the time of the car crash, and how he dealt with losing his mom, and being abandoned by his father. Depressing, no?

Yami, Yugi and Jirito: ¬_¬;; Weirdo...
"This is talking"
'These are thoughts'
Into the Darkness, Then Back to the Light
Yami pushed himself to his feet and looked around. Wisps of fog swerved around the area, only he knew they were lost souls, both guilty and innocent victims of the sentence to eternal darkness. How did they get here? Was Bakura around? It would make sense, Yugi was weak, it would give him the advantage. It had to be him. "Come out you coward!" Yami called, sticking close to Yugi's side.
An evil laugh echoed around him, though the voice couldn't be identified because of the echoes. Narrowing his eyes, Yami tried to see the figure emerge from the shadows. He growled. "You..."
"That's right." Jirito said, folding his arms and smirking over at him.
"Why did you bring us here?"
"How else would I get a physical form?" Jirito said then looked at Yugi. "Not exactly in the best condition, is he?" he mocked, nodding towards the gasping Yugi lying on the ground next to Yami.
Yami looked down and his features softened. Yugi couldn't take the strength of the Shadow Realm, it drained his energy magically and mentally, as well as physically. He knelt down, glancing at Jirito for any movement, then pulled Yugi up into a sitting position. Yugi slouched forward in his arms, barely moving. "Stay strong Yugi..."
Jirito withdrew a dagger from his belt, running his finger along the sharp part of the blade, cutting a thing line in his own finger. He looked at it and smirk, a malicious gleam in his eye. "It's time for the last of the family to meet his end..." He whispered to Yugi, though it was inaudible to him. He raised the dagger and it gleamed with red magic, catching Yami's attention.
Yugi opened his eyes weakly, looking up and spotting the red dagger. He shut his eyes again before summoning up the strength to bring himself to his feet. He wasn't beaten, at least not yet. He struggled for a second to keep his balance, still breathing heavily. He leapt back suddenly by instinct as a bright flash, the shine from the blade, nearly struck him. He was not so lucky the second time, receiving a deep cut across his arm. He stumbled to the side and fell to one knee, gripping his arm.
Jirito smirked, but was suddenly hit across the face. He turned and faced Yami, who had his fists raised. "For the last time... this doesn't concern you!" Jirito yelled, raising his hand and facing his pain towards Yami.
Once again, Yami was frozen, but this time it felt like a giant hand was crushing him to stay still. Some sort of black cords grew out of the ground and wrapped around his wrists and ankles, stretching his arms above him until he could barely move. He struggled against the bonds as Yugi received a kick across the head by Jirito, but black electricity sparked around and through him from the cords, causing him to yell in pain.
Yugi was on his feet and had been trying his best to protect himself, but when he heard Yami yell he looked to the side to see what was happening. Before he knew it, he was pinned to the floor with one of Jirito's hands around his throat while the other held a dagger.
Jirito grinned. "Poor little Yugi..." He said bringing the dagger down in front of Yugi's face and pointing it between his eyes. His grin widened as Yugi ceased to struggle. "Your friend is in no position to protect you..." He moved the sharp part of the blade down the side of Yugi's face, causing a thing line of blood to appear and Yugi to shut his eyes in pain. "And you're in no position to fight back..." He ran the dagger back up Yugi's face, this time diagonally across his face. Yugi's breaths were shaky with fear and his eyes remained closed. Harshly, but in an insane kind of calm tone, he whispered. "This is the end..."
Yugi shivering in fear, tears of fear and pain streaming down his face. This wasn't happening. This couldn't happen. Looking over he saw Yami blast the cords of magic with his own magic, releasing himself silently and racing over towards Jirito. Yami would-
Yugi cried out as a searing pain ran through him. He couldn't breath.... he couldn't think.... all he could feel was the incredible pain growing inside him. He stared straight ahead, absalutely nothing in focus. He wasn't even aware if he was breathing anymore.
Yami froze in is tracks at the sight. Yugi had a knife pertruding from the centre of his chest, his face pale, expression blank, breaths short. He noticed the for of Jirito fading aware, but paid no attention, all his focus was on Yugi, who had his eyes closed in pain. He dropped to the ground and pulled Yugi to him, pulling the dagger away from him and throwing it away. Hugging him lightly, he let down all barriers, fears and hidden emotions as tears streamed from his eyes. "Yugi..."
Suddenly, Yugi's expression relaxed and he sighed, but he did not breath in again.
"No!"
Suddenly, it dawned on him. Who had been calling him? Looking around, he couldn't see anythin. He turned around and froze. "Mom..."
"Yugi..." Sarah stood before him, slightly transparant, tears brimming in her eyes. "This wasn't supposed to happen...I'm so sorry..." She whispered, lowering her head.
"No, mom, it wasn't your fault." Yugi tried to explain, but Sarah interupted.
"It was Yugi, I was supposed to be there to protect you, ever sense Jirito's time ended I made it my duty toprotect you from death, and I failed..." She outstretched her arms and pulled Yugi close to her, leaning her head on his and burrying her face in his hair. "I'm so sorry..."
Yugi could think of nothing to say, there was nothing to say. Though he knew his mother for only a short time in his life, all the love he'd ever felt for her suddenly returned. He hugged her back and smiled. "You were the one that saved me earlier, when I was thrown off the building, weren't you?"
"Yes." Came Sarah's muffled voice. She pulled away from him, with some resisitance from Yugi, and held him at arms length. "You have to go back."
"Go back?"
"You don't deserve this and neither does your friend." She said, indicating down to Yami. "He's heartbroken without you, you're his best friend. Your life is not yet over, and at a small price you can go back."
"Really?" Yugi said in an excited tone. "How?"
Sarah frowned slightly. "All your life, well, at least since the call accident, I've watched over you. I've watched you grow, I've even seen you have you adventures at Battle City and Duelist Kingdom. With what little magic I possessed I was able to do so, but if I give that up, your soul can be restored." She looked down. "I want you to live out your life, even if I can't see it."
"But-"
"Yugi... please don't argue." Sarah said, looking up at him. "I love you Yugi, please, let me do this... for you."
Yugi frowned and looked down, seeing Yami. He closed his eyes and nodded, hugging her again. "I love you mom..."
Sarah smiled and a small glow engulfed then. Yugi suddenly felt himself being pulled downwards, and he lost his he felt like he was in a dream as he seemed to drift to sleep.
Yugi opened his eyes and looked up at him. "Hey Yami..." He said weakly, and smiled when Yami hugged him. "I'm sorry for worrying you..." he whispered, but he doubted Yami was listening. Strangely enough, he didn't fell hurt at all. Looking down, he noticed his wound had healed. You wouldn't have even known it was there unless you saw his bloodstained shirt.
He sat up and and after a few minutes of questions, was able to convince the overprotective Yami he was fine. He sat down on the chair and sighed, reaching his hand inside his pocket and pulling out the picture he had found in the attic, he smiled at it.
"Who's that?" Yami asked, sitting next to him.
"That's my mom." Yugi said, voice quiet and distant. "She died back when I was a kid."
"Oh.." Yami shuffled uncomfortably. He would have to mess up right after Yugi nearly dies, wouldn't he? "Sorry..."
Yugi seemed to snap back to reality and looked over at Yami. He smiled and shook his head. "It's ok, I don't mind anymore." Yami sighed with relief. "Well thats good, but um..." He pointed at the picture, spacificly at Yugi. "I was wondering who's the other guy."
Yugi was confused the looked back at the picture. He blushed slightly and scratched the back of his head. "Oh... that's me."
"Little Yugi!" Yami said grabbing the picture and looking at it, grinning slyly. "I wonder what Joey would make of this..."
Yugi's eyes grew wide and his voice suttenly got alot more serious. "Yami don't you dare!"
"Try and stop me!" With that, Yami leapt up off the floor, ran across the room and out the door.
"Hey! Get back here with that!" Yugi yelled, following Yami at a fast pace
A traslucent form of Sarah appeared just as Yugi ran out the door. She smiled as tears fell from her eyes. "Goodbye... my son..." And with that, she faded away forever, only a memory, only a dream.
The End
-----------
Weird ending, but hey, lets see you make one after you've been working and editing for about two hours.
Personally, I creeped myself out when Jirito had Yugi pinned down and was talking to him. Whada you guys think?
Ok, I need to know what you guys thought. I wana know how good/bad it was. Please review!
Believe it or not, I may have an idea to use, kinda like a sequel but it'll be added onto this. Of corse, if I did have it I'd have to use Jirito again, and it wouldn't be half as long... and it would have (most likely) a character death, one of the many ^^;;
Anyvay... I guess that's all I gotta say. Once again, please review and slán slán for now!
Bay Bay!
