Spirit Hawk: ShadedRogue- I don't know if you read it, but there is another story before this to help understand this one, but Yugi's not dead and nobody killed no one. What's Kaiba got to do with this, I refer you to the first point and the first and second chapters of this story. treekicker- here you go, I'm giving this story one more chapter. R/R plz.

It took Yugi over a year to save money to recreate his old blade. Joey paled when he saw the knife in Yugi's hand. "You're not going to use that on your best bud, right Yug." Joey stammered. Yugi stopped in his steps for when Joey called him 'Yug' brought a flood of memories back to him. "I'm not sure." was all he said as he set the blade back down. Joey sighed with relief as Yugi turned away from him(A/n: as in he was relieved that Yugi wasn't going to kill him, not leave him.)

(Joey help me! Please Joey!) Yugi yelled out mentally. Another figure appeared in Yugi's now shadowy soul room. "What the matter Yugi? Don't you like what I've done for you?" the figure said. "Sorta, but you don't belong here anymore." Yugi growled. "It's nice to see I've made a little difference in your pathetic soul." the figure spoke. "You ruining my life!" Yugi continued to fight, but it was useless. "Well Yami ruined my life, so we're even." the shadow being snapped back.

"Yami didn't bring you here! Joey did..to save me, to save us!" Yugi shouted at the shadows. "Joey? But I...I'm so confused." the shadow being replied. "It's ok, I know that you never really had friends you could trust before." Yugi replied calmly. It was true Yugi's life was different from his. While he had friends, you knew he couldn't trust me as far as he could throw them, except for Seth Kane or Seto Kaiba as he was now known as. Yugi's friends were always with Yugi and defended Yugi. His friends turned tail and ran if he got into trouble. Joey was also one of his friend he could trust, but he was unsure now.

"Is it true, did you save me Joey?" Yugi asked as he snapped out of his trance. "Um..ya Yug." Joey quivered as Yugi still held the knife. "Thank you." was all Yugi said as he putt the blade back down on the table. "Joey, you can go. Don't tell anyone what happened here tonight." Yugi ordered. Joey shook his head in agreement. "Joey." Yugi said again as Joey started to leave "Yeah Yugi?" Joey asked. "Tell the pharaoh that you found Blake and that he wants to challenge the king of games to the ultimate duel tomorrow at three, Kaiba's mansion." Yugi said without a thought. "Sure Yug, We'll be there and I'll be there beside you." Joey chirped back.

Spirit Hawk: Here the second last chapter(that is if there is a next chapter). I'll be ending it with a conflict between Atem and Yugi, but I sorta have a prob with duels...so if anybody could help me out plz give me an e-mail.
