Mou Hitori no Boku: True Darkness
Pan: STOP WITH THE QUESTIONS! YOU'RE SCARING ME! *cries* Sorry. Now, that's done, I can say the important stuff. I don't think I reminded you, but the Eye Realm is Lust and Hope (which explains Yami when they first arrived in the Realm.) Yugiou saying 'Sorry to put you through this again' is to do with the fact that I base him of off the 'original' Yami, the one in the first arc of the manga 'The Thousand Piece Puzzle'. The sadistic one that hurts people. Nothing to do with Egypt, or Kaiba during Duelist Kingdom. Just the hurting people part. A bit crap really, I know, but still. I intend to make some very interesting changes to Yugiou, starting in this chapter... you'll have to wait and see... but it's definately NOT the last you'll see of him!

"Yima! This isn't fair!" Yami yelled, standing in the middle of a dark room. "Get me out of this Challenge NOW!" He grew angry as he got no reply. Stubbornly sticking his hands in his pockets, he began to observe his surroundings more closely. Not that there was much there. He stood in silence for a few minutes, mentally deciding that he was going to kill Yima when he got out of there.
After another few seconds, a glowing form began to appear. The form of Yami's unconscious aibou was lying before him, but not as Yami had just left him. The Yugi before him was bloody and beaten, red blood staining much of his clothing as it seeped from bruised wounds on his legs, arms and head. Very slowly, the boy began to open his eyes. "Yami... help me... please..." he said faintly.
Just as Yami was about to aid his aibou, whether it was an illusion of the challenge or not, another form appeared a little further off. Once again, it was Yugi, but a golder crown pushed his bangs up and over it. He was dressed in royal Egyptian robes, not unlike the ones that Yami remembered wearing himself. It was hpw he had imagined Yugi when his small aibou became Master of the Shadow Realm. But now he faced a dilemma.
"Obviously I'm supposed to go to one of these Yugis..." he said quietly. "But which? A wrong decision would be awful."
"I can give you a clue." said the Pharaoh Yugi. "One is your desire, one is your hope." Yami frowned. "Of course, this Realm is Lust and Hope." he muttered to himself. "I need to go to my hope... but which one?" He spent a few minutes looking between the two.
"The Pharaoh Yugi is what I want for him; to become the Master of the Shadows, like I was. This other Yugi is clearly dieing, and what I want for him is life. But which do I hope for? My desire is that he will become the Master..." He looked intently at the Pharaoh Yugi. "Very clever, Yima!" he said aloud. "I have made my decision."
He stepped around the dying Yugi, and went to the Pharaoh Yugi. The dark room glowed and collapsed, releasing him back into Yima's house.

"Pharaoh..." Yima said, her eyes wide in awe. "How did you... how did you..." Yami looked at the card depicting the Eye in his hand. "It was simple after a while. My desire is not that Yugi will become Master of the Shadows like me, but it IS that he will be with me forever, shown by him dying; I would lust for him to stay alive, while hoping he would be Master." He smirked. "There is a very subtle difference." Yima applauded softly. "Well done..."
"Yami-chan, is that you?" A sleepy voice said. Yami looked down into his aibou's half-open amethyst eyes. "Yes, it's me." he said, kneeling down beside the boy. "You did it... I knew you could..." Yugi smiled softly. "One step closer..." "Shh..." Yami laid his finger on Yugi's lips. "Shh, you need to rest right now. Just go back to sleep. I'll be here when you wake up." "Okay Yami-chan." Yugi closed his eyes, and instantly fell asleep again.

Yugi yawned, sitting up. "I feel so much better..." he murmured. He blinked his violet eyes, looking around for Yami. He smiled to see the dark spirit curled up by the wall, fast asleep. "He must have stayed up all night!" Yugi said quietly. He stood up, padding across the floor in sock-covered feet, and draped the blanket over Yami's slumbering form.
Quietly he walked down the flight of stairs in the corner, to find Yima asleep on the sofa, with her head hanging off of it, and Seto and Ryou asleep in two big chairs. Spotting his shoes by the door, he pulled them on and went outside into the fresh air. It was still quite dark out; that strange light just before dawn was casting long shadows across the fields. He took a deep breath of the night chilled air, and walked towards the fence that was surrounding Yima's house. He lent on it, amused by the Kuribohs bouncing across the grass. "If only things were this peaceful all the time... this would be a nice place to come on holiday! Heh..." He shielded his eyes against the bright ball of light just rising over the distant horizon.
Smiling, he very quietly crept back inside, and picked up his bow and quiver full of arrows. Back outside, he stood a good ten metres away from one of the fence posts, aimed an arrow at it, and fired. After a few more shots, he retrieved the arrows, and moved further away from his target, repeating the exercise until he was nearly fifty metres away. At this point, he had trouble getting the arrow to go far enough. After five unsuccessful shots, he went to pick up the fallen arrows. Sighing, he returned to his mark, and tried again. This time, he drew the string a little more taut before releasing the arrow. The satisfying sound of an arrow hitting it's target broke the morning silence, followed by a very slow clapping. Yugi looked up, to see Yami standing at the window.
"You're getting good at that." Yami said. "I just wish my hookshot aim was that good!" Yugi laughed. "You only have to practise!" he called back. "What, and pull Yima's fence down? I expect she'll be annoyed enough having arrow-dents in it!" Yami said. "Hold on." Within a few seconds, Yami was outside.
"Try again then." he told Yugi. The shorter boy raised his bow, arrow to string, but promptly let go of it, holding his injured arm. Yami was by his side in an instant, checking the thin yet deep cut. "It's not healed yet." he announced. "You'll have to keep resting it every so often, but the magic in these Realms should help it heal." Yugi nodded. "And the cut on your face will probably scar." Yami added. Yugi shrugged. "What are looks, other than everything to Tea?" he said lightly. "Not much." Yami kissed Yugi lightly. "I'm just glad you're alright."

"This is IMPOSSIBLE! How could this happen?!" Yugiou paced up and down his small prison. "This shouldn't happen to me... and I can't make it go away..." He dropped down, and sat curled up in a corner.
"How could I fall in love with Yugi...?"
