"This is talking"
'These are thoughts'
"Maybe I shouldn't have gotton so mad at him..." Yami thought to himself as he walked down the corridor that led to Yugi's room. It was already very late in the day, and he hadn't seen Yugi at all. "I hope I haven't upset him that much..." He felt guilty for the way he had yelled at Yugi, but hurting him was much worse. Reaching his brothers door, he took a deep breath before knocking. "Yugi?"
No response.
"Yugi, we need to talk." Yami said, knocking again.
Still no answer.
Confused, Yami opened the door and looked in. The room was pretty clean, everything ordered in the right way, but there where a few small things missing, like the two daggers and the sword Yugi had received for his seventeenth birthday, and the bag that usually hung by his bed. That was strange, why would Yugi need that?
Then Yami spotted something on the bed, and walked over. "A note? He thought as he picked it up, sitting on the bed as he began to read it.
Yami, I heard you when you said I used to be your best friend, and I'm sorry to hear that. As much as I love Aurora, I never thought how much it could affect our friendship. I don't want it to. But it has.
You were my best friend, Yami, but I know now I am not welcome here. Do not try to follow me, it's better this way. Goodbye brother.
Yugi
Yami's grip tightened on the note, crumbling it a little, as he absorbed what he had just read. "Yugi no..." He whispered, tears brimming in his eyes.
He'd lost him.
He coughed heavily, gasping for breath helplessly as he couldn't stop coughing. He was exhausted, and dying of thirst. His muscles were aching and run down so much from almost endless walking, he felt as though he was wading through water. His breaths became heavier, his vision blurry, and his steps slower. He let out one heavily sigh and collapsed to his knees, then forward on his stomach. He couldn't go on any longer.
A sudden pounding, like fast footsteps, echoed around him in his consciousness, causing him to look up. In the distance, he could hear voice, but all he could see where black blurs. He struggled to see who or what they where, but the heat of the desert was unbearable. His head dropped to rest on the soft sand, his vision slowly dissolving into darkness.
Five Years Later...
-----------
At the age of eighteen, only a few months before his fathers passing, Yami and Aurora had gotton married as planned, not knowing they would have to replace Yami's father so soon. In a battle with a neighbouring, Pharaoh Akunumkanon had received a sword threw his heart, and died almost instantly. Through his weeks of grief, the only thing Yami could be thankful for was that the Gods had not allowed him to suffer.
He missed his father, and for weeks after his tragic death Yami could not focus. He had become Pharaoh only a few days later, but many said he wouldn't last, that he didn't have the skills to do so, but once Yami got over the death of his father, he proved them all wrong.
Now he himself was a father. His four-year-old son, Oyera, was the spitting image of him, the innocence Yami had lost in war, pain and death was still alive in his eyes. He was unmarked by the terrible world around him, but Yami knew, sad though it was, he would lose his optimistic views on everything in time. It was part of growing up in this world.
But that didn't stop Yami from making sure Oyera enjoyed his life as much as possible. Nothing was more important to Yami then his family, and he would do whatever if took to make them happy.
A feeling that he usually extended to Yugi...
Yami shook his head. "It's been five years since you laid eyes on the boy Yami, get over it." he thought, but then another thought spoke up in his mind.
"But you feel guilty... you may have sent the boy to his death..."
Yami groaned and sat up, getting up and walking over to the balcony. He stood there in silence, gazing over the kingdom and across the desert surrounding it. It was true, he did feel guilty about Yugi. He boy had relied on him more then anyone. When his parents had died, Yami took him into his home. Yugi always turned to him when he was finding life hard, when he needed to take to someone or to be comforted. He trusted Yami with his darkest secrets (save for his love for Aurora) and his life, and Yami had let him down...
Yami covered his eyes with one hand, head down. He swallowed hard a single tear ran down his face. "Yugi..."
Yugi had changed somewhat in appearance. His skin was a much darker brown then it had been before, he had grown in height quite allot, and his build was stronger now, suggesting a life of hard work. There was a soft sound of footsteps behind him, and Yugi turned to see the Thief King, Bakura, standing behind him. Looking back at the building for a moment, Yugi then turned to face the tomb-robber, withdrawing a something from the bag on his back. "Follow me, the kitchen area is lightly guarded, it should be easy to get in."
