Change of Heart

Past Disclosed

Summary: Get a flashlight; Kai, Seto, and this Okami have a dark secret, or maybe it's kind of gray. ( Oh yeah, Yami had some fun, being the malevolent little devil he typically isn't.

"Okami," Kai snarled in the phone. "Why are you giving me a call?"
"Seriyuu told me you came back. We longed for you."
"I haven't returned," Kai notified the distant voice. "I left the Trinity, so I'm no longer Suzaku."
"But you called Seto Kaiba Seriyuu, and you have returned, so what am I to suppose?"
"Statements are never true," Kai said. "You should know that."
Laughter emitted from the phone. "I would, wouldn't I?" Then the voice grew solemn. "Suzaku, you should come back."
"Stop calling me that!" Kai snarled. "If you want to talk to me again, I want to see your face." Kai laughed as he hung up. Like I want to see you again Trisha.
Yugi and Yami watched Kai from the window. Who do you suppose he's talking to?
Yugi turned away from the window. It's none of your business, Yugi said as he immediately got into bed. Go to sleep, Yami.
I want to talk to Kai.
What? Yugi shook his head. Whatever. Just don't do something foolish. Yugi disappeared into his Soul Room.
Yami was now in Yugi's bed. This should be enjoyable, he thought. Kai came in, and Yami leered as Kai had an astounded look on his face? What's wrong, Kai?
Kai stepped back. Something's wrong.He looks different. He stepped forward again. "Are you okay, Yugi?"
"What makes you think I'm not?" Yami asked.
"Do you have mood swings?" Kai asked.
"No," Yami said, leering. "What makes you think so?"
He looks and sounds possessed, Kai thought. Maybe demonic. "Whatever. Night, Yugi." Kai could have sworn he heard a voice whisper, "I'm not Yugi." Brushing it off, Kai nodded off as Yugi and Yami switched back again.
Yami laughed, being a clear spirit another time. I scared him, he said, continuing to laugh. You should have seen his face.
I did, Yugi reminded Yami. Hmm? He looked at his sleeping bag, which looked more like a massive black worm. Is he murmuring things?
I don't know.Yami said. Let's see if he wakes up.
Almost instantaneously, Kai woke up. Sweat ran down his face and arms as he got out of the sleeping bag. He walked over to the window, letting the breeze chill his body. Uninformed of Yugi's being there, Kai began to sum up past happenings.
Both Yami and Yugi listened enthusiastically. Kai is like a warren. He's always saying the opposite to himself.
"All these sentiments are inside me." Kai sighed. "I don't know what to do. Why do I feel so unable to help and frail?" He gaped up at the stars, seeming dissatisfied on his unanswered question. "What do I do?" He sighed again. "I don't want to accept it, but the only ones who could help me are Seriyuu and Okami. I just hope Yugi and the others would understand." He went back to the sleeping bag, and with a heavy sigh, went back to sleep.
I hope Kai would be all right, Yugi said, getting on his bed.
I wonder who Okami is, Yami said, sitting beside Yugi. Seriyuu is Seto Kaiba, but the wolf is a new identity.
Either he tells us or not, let's just leave it alone, Yami.
Fine.
Good night, Yami.
Sweet dreams, Yugi.
