Superhero Shadow
Yugi showed Ryou and Bakura into the house, while Yami went off to find somewhere to hide his car. With so many police looking for him, it wasn't a good idea to leave it near Yugi's house. "You don't mind sharing a room, do you?" Yugi asked. "Of course not!" Ryou answered. "Fine. You can have this room." Yugi pushed open a door. Inside it was pretty empty, except for two single beds, a table and a wardrobe. "Yami's next door, and my room's the door after that. The bathroom's on the other side." Yugi said, pointing out all the different rooms. "I'd better see where Yami's got to." Yugi turned, and descended the short flight of stair, just as Yami came in through the front door.
"I get this bed!" Bakura said, running over, and jumping onto his chosen bed. "Fine." Ryou closed the door, and dumped his bag on the floor. "Now, what did you want to talk about, Bakura?"
"That Yami guy. You must remember in the car; when he drove it straight through the other cars? He's got Heka powers, like me." Bakura said, lying down and staring at the ceiling. "You don't think HE'S Shadow, do you?" Ryou said. "Yes, I do. The thing is; there's another source of Heka near by, except it's a slightly different type. Now, do we turn Shadow over to Marik or not?" Bakura said, closing his eyes and thinking. "I don't want to. Sure, Marik wants the Heka magic, but is that worth sacrificing a guy that's been nice to us." Ryou said, standing up. "I don't suppose so, but do you want to face Marik?" Bakura asked. "It's simple. We're NOT going back!" Ryou said, opening the door.
"Yugi, I've got to get that statue back." Yami said, with his bag slung over his shoulder. "They're beginning to search houses! I walked past one of those huge TV screens; I saw the report. They're searching for me." "Don't worry, I'll help you!" Yugi said, smiling. "It may not be that simple, my little friend." Yami answered. "You're doing all I want you to do to help at the moment, by letting me stay here." "Alright." Yugi looked at his feet. "Now, do you want to order pizza?" Yami grinned.
Eventually, everyone went to bed, and to sleep. All except Yami.
"I can sense that Bakura has Heka... but I'm also getting a weaker signal, from Yugi..." Yami muttered to himself. "It could just be lingering parts of my energy, but I have to know." He stood up, and walked to the wall. "No ka-door... just have to try a bit harder then."
He closed his eyes, and touched the wall. His body glowed blue, and he passed straight through the solid wall, quite silently. Yugi was laying his his bed fast asleep. Dim light filtered through the thin curtains at the window, casting itself onto Yugi's face. Yami tiptoed across the room, desperately trying not to wake Yugi. Finally, he softly sat down on the bed beside Yugi's still form. He smiled at his friend's sleeping face. So sweet, so innocent. Gently, Yami put his hand on Yugi's forehead. The blue glow appeared, only fainter. Yami closed his eyes, and searched Yugi's energy patterns for Heka magic. "It is here... so lighter Heka does exist!" Yami murmured.
Yugi obviously heard Yami's murmur, or felt something, because his eyes snapped open. "Yami!" he said, finding himself looking into Yami's crimson eyes. "Yugi, I... I..." Yami jumped up. "Sorry." His blue glow grew brighter, as he turned, and ran back through the wall, leaving tiny traces of blue energy around Yugi. "Yami, don't..." Yugi began, but he was gone.
"Oh, well done, Shadow!" Yami said to himself. "You've gone and woken up his Heka! He's supposed to find it alone..."
Bakura lay awake in bed. 'So Yugi is the other source of Heka here.'
~oOOo~
Yugi jumped out of bed early the next morning. Suddenly remembering that it was Monday, and he had to go to school, he pulled on his uniform, and walked downstairs.
No-one else was up yet, and he had to leave in five minutes 'Stupid alarm clock... broken." he muttered. He scribbled 'Sorry, got to go to school, see you later' on a piece of paper, and left it for Yami, Bakura and Ryou. Then, quietly, he grabbed his schoolbag, and left the house.
Yami was watching from his window.
"Yugi, I'm following you today." he said. "I'm not the only one who will have sensed your powers, even if you haven't. And I've learnt from experience that Heka can cause more chaos than it does to help." Yami quickly donned his 'Shadow' outfit, and left the house. Choosing not to use his car (still hidden) he stuck to back alleys and deserted streets, until he reached the school. He smiled, watching Yugi enter the white building, then jumped over the wall, and hid in a convenient tree.
Yugi yawned. "Hey, Yuug, come on! Didn't you get any sleep?" Jonouchi said from the desk next to him. "Yeah, I'm just tired." Yugi said, giving Jonouchi a sleepy smile, and deciding not to tell him about Yami the night before.
"Good morning, class. This week's History assignment will be Ancient Egyptian beliefs and legends. I want to to pair up..."
Yugi immediately looked to Jonouchi.
"...to create and present a five minute presentation on the subject. You may use any media you wish. We will now go to the library to begin research." The teacher opened the door, and led her class to the school library.
"I'll be with you then, Yuug." Jonouchi said. "Sure. Any ideas?" Yugi said, having perked up. "Hmm... how about that Heka stuff that Yami told us about?" Jonouchi said, lowering his voice. "Well, I don't know..." Yugi thought about it. "It may be better not to."
For two hours the class sat in the library, occasionally getting up to find a new book, or request permission to use the internet on the school computers. (AN: Double history! Save me!) They let out a collective sigh of relief, as the bell went for break.
"What did you get then?" Yugi asked Jonouchi, who was reading over his notes. "A load of stuff about pyramids and the afterlife. You?" Jonouchi answered, without looking up. "Gods, goddesses, and, oh yeah, more gods." Yugi let out a small laugh. Unknown to him, Yami, or Shadow, was watching him from the trees.
"Hello, Yugi." A girl's voice said behind him. "How've you been, brat?" Yugi turned around, recognising the voice. "Anzu, piss off." he said, annoyed already. Sure, he had liked her once, but she was really just a stuck-up bitch. You know, one of those girls who's make-up always has to be perfect? Well, Anzu was like that.
"You threatening my girl?" another voice said. A tall boy with brown hair appeared next to Anzu. "What's it look like, genius?" Yugi said, turning away. Without warning, the boy lunged forward, and punched Yugi, who went flying. "Hiroto Honda, you're in deep shit!" Jonouchi yelled.
Yami had moved, ready to strike Honda, if he went for Yugi or Jonouchi. But he didn't need to. Nearby, Yugi was pushing himself up from the ground, the air surrounding him beginning to go pale blue. He turned back to Honda, and walked so he was facing him, although he had to look up, because of his own height. "Hey, look Anzu, the kid's back for more!" Honda laughed, having not noticed the blue glow. Yami had, and was concerned. Should he stop Yugi, before the Heka magic got too strong for Yugi to cope with, or just leave him be? He took the first option. He jumped down from the tree, and launched a flying kick at Honda.
"Shadow!" Yugi said, shocked, as the blue glow faded away in an instant. Jonouchi was staring, wide-eyed, and Anzu was running away, as fast as she could. "It's OK, Yugi." Shadow said quietly. "I'll deal with them." A blue glow formed on Shadow's hand, and he launched a blue ball of light towards Anzu's feet. She fell over, as her feet became frozen in place. Honda had been knocked out cold by Shadow's initial kick.
After that, Yugi lead Shadow away, where they couldn't be seen. "What are you doing here, Yami?!" he asked in a loud whisper. "I was bored." There was a better reason, but that would have to wait until later. "I'll speak to you more later."
~oOOo~
Later
"What do you want to talk about, Yami?" Yugi asked, after arriving at home, to find Yami back before him. "You, Yugi." was the answer. Yami patted the seat next to him, getting Yugi to sit down.
"Yugi, last night..." Yami gave a weak smile. "I came into your room, because I wanted to confirm something. You're the kind of person I've been looking for; someone with Heka powers, like me." Yugi looked at him with wide eyes. "I have Heka?" he asked. "Yes. Of course, you need to learn to use your powers correctly, and I'd be happy to help... if you wanted..." Yami said, blushing a bit. "Um... ok then." Yugi said, nodding.
Yugi showed Ryou and Bakura into the house, while Yami went off to find somewhere to hide his car. With so many police looking for him, it wasn't a good idea to leave it near Yugi's house. "You don't mind sharing a room, do you?" Yugi asked. "Of course not!" Ryou answered. "Fine. You can have this room." Yugi pushed open a door.

"Oh, well done, Shadow!" Yami said to himself. "You've gone and woken up his Heka! He's supposed to find it alone..."
Bakura lay awake in bed. 'So Yugi is the other source of Heka here.'
