A/N: Yay chapter five! I'm so excited and ecstatic!  I never thought I would make it this far I'm so thankful to everyone you all brighten up my day when I get your reviews! By the way about my posting habits, now that I've gotten used to the whole high school thing in check I'll post every two to three weeks. I will also let you know if I can't post on a certain date(s) when I post new chapters, ahead of time! KK? Chapitre 5: Into the Dark of This Horizon  "When darkness descends, stand up and with the light in your Heart rise to the occasion." The darkness of the young morning enveloped him, a brisk air breathing down his neck. It was about 3-ish and the sun had not yet risen. Above him was a vast empty plain of Indigo. Letting out a small sigh, he turned to face the calm sea he would later sail across. Loneliness was all he could feel although he didn't know why."Are you okay, Yugi, you seem tired?"  A deep voice beckoned from behind him." No I'm all right, I just couldn't get to sleep so I came here,"" Anxious?""Yes…a little"" Something else is it?"" No its just I'm so confused one minute I'm excited about everything and the next I'm kind of scared, y'know". The shorter boy lowered his head in thought.Soon he began pacing around the pier keeping the well-maintained silence intact. After a while he became bored and in fact quite restless so he decided to move to a more secluded place.  All the boy could feel was the frustration his convoluted emotions had left him with and behind it all those emotions was a wall of nothing-ness; blank nothing-ness. He looked down into the waxing, waning waves into the deep indigo soul of the ocean.  " I'm sorry…" Yugi spoke as he recoiled to himself." Why are you sorry?"" Because…because I shouldn't be like this; I shouldn't be scared, I shouldn't be so wish washy with what I feel. I'm supposed to be strong for my destiny, for you and most of all my friends. What are they going to do; I'm the one who's strong always there for them when they need me to. If I'm going to help them I can't be this way… the thing is I know I'm still that courageous person deep down inside me but I can't feel it…It's like I'm lost…"Tears fled down the young boy's face uncontrollably.Sadness now mixed in with whatever frustration Yugi was feeling making plunge down into immediate anxiety to help Yugi.A few moments later he looked to the horizon seeing the sun on the verge of rising. He had an idea." Yugi emotions and life are like the day, there aretimes when the sun, happiness are the strongest most visual things around, then there are times when the sun sets and it becomes dark and the night seems endless. It's okay to feel scared or feel insecure those are natural emotions and when you don't deem yourself strong enough your friends will be there for you. Don't worry please…"A smile of his own appeared on Yugi's face. What Yami was saying was true; everything would be all right. Nothing would get in his way, not even his own emotions. Where sadness, frustration, and emptiness had once been, confidence and even slight joy now resided. The storm had passed and all was calm. " Well, what do you know?" a voice called from behind him. Recognizing the voice Yugi chuckled at the sheer irony of the moment. But then again, thinking about the type of relationship that he had with his friends, maybe it wasn't quite that ironic. " So you're here too, eh Jou?" he turned to face his best friend, lightly laughing still."Yeah, I got kinda bored so I decided to come here. "The tall blonde shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly." But… never mind…" Yugi, perplexed, shook his head trying to figure out how Jou could possibly be bored at 4 in the morning. It was nice to know that his closest friend was here, no matter how creepy the fact they've coincidentally bumped into each other more than once within twenty-four hours may be.  Yugi smiled, content, and returned to staring at the sunrise, his friend taking a seat next to him. Happiness filled the air through a cool refreshing early morning wind. It was simple moments like these this that made life bearable. It was joy that made him want to save humanity.  In fact, when was the last time he actually enjoyed something like this, the beauty all around him, the new day, just being alive? With all the commotion as of late and before that the cloud of mundane-ness that shrouded his life it must've been ages something like this was able to happen."Are you excited?' the shorter of the two spoke up.Jou turned to his friend and smiled wickedly, " Of course I am! Who wouldn't be excited about kickin' a whole bunch of ass?" Yugi let out a small laugh, how typical of Jou.The magic of the moment had now worn of, in spite of the fact that both boys were now content at least for a second. Judging by the sun's almost full appearance, it was about probably about five, with a vast amount of time before anything interesting would happen. What was currently felt as content, had melted now into a cold, wet puddle of boredom. While Yugi stared off into space, pondering life's bigger questions, Jou on the other hand, frustratingly, fidgeted around,"GAH! I can't take it anymore, this is so boring!" The blonde barked, falling roughly to the ground back first."Then why did you come?" His friend innocently queried. " Because I thought it would be better than sitting athome doing nothing.""Well look on the bright side, Jou, at least you don'thave to wait another week for the tournament.'" I guess you're right."       For a while the two friends just talked of trivial things, trying to fight off the insufferable enemy called monotony. It didn't work too well, but it passed the time.      But before they could even realize it, time had flashed by bringing, many other duelists, friends and foes as well as the ship itself into the pier.      Many voices seemed to speak at once and fill the air with their song of mixed emotions, as the area bustled with a crowd of people. As far as Yugi could see there were most likely more than three times as many duelists than he had seem in last two tournaments he had gone to! Though it was crowded it was spectacular seeing all those people, all with hopes for the upcoming event. Fortune, fame, anything, you name it.       Now that most everyone was there it was time to search for the rest of the gang. Both of the boys searched from one end of the pier to the other. Their search had come up fruitless and to add to the situation now they were out of ideas. Jou suggested splitting up to look for everyone but it wasn't such a good plan to separate and increase they're chances of not getting back together. With nothing else left to do, it was decided to just stay put and hope the others find them. Whether or not it would work only time could tell.             By that time it was eight and people were ushering duelists onto the ship, and still there was no sign of the others. All hope was lost or so it seemed. The ship was loading; time was running out, everything was falling out of place. Fear had gotten the better of Yugi, as it became closer and closer to boarding time.What would he do? Everyone has always gone to tours together. Would things still be the same? "Yugi, Jounouchi! We're sorry for being late!" the two teens turned to view Anzu running toward them, Ryou, Honda and Malik following closely behind her." I'm glad you made it." Yugi sent a beaming smile to his other friends as they caught up to him."Were glad… to have …had made it too…" Ryou said, catching his breath." I hate to break up the reunion but shouldn't we be boarding the ship?" Malik pointed out as the others realized they were the only ones still on the pier.            Quickly the whole gang marched up onto the ship and re-organized at the nose of the ship. And by now the sun had made its full appearance and was shedding its light everywhere warming even the coldest of souls.      They'd now found each other and were now ready to face anything that may be thrown their way.            The better part of the morning they talked, joked and played as any group of friends should. Yugi found it relaxing to be able to not have to worry; life seemed to be the most beautiful thing at times like this. It was like a vacation, maybe it was the cool, blue ocean surrounding him, the ever so free and comforting breeze, whatever it was it was bliss.      As the hour of noon approached, everyone decided it was best to go in search of their rooms. But when they had turned to leave they found themselves facing an oh so familiar face." So you're here?" She said in an icy-cool tone. Long, blue, silver, and black tresses of hair blew gently across her delicately featured face as the girl stood tall and elegant."Huriko you're here?!" Yugi spoke questioningly but still with a nervous excitement."Yes I am." Huriko's words were short as if to be filled witha sorrowful anger."Huriko?" Anzu stepped forward from the group, clenching her chest and finding the strength to confront the icy-beauty. Giving Anzu her attention the ice queen switched her passive gaze from Yugi to her." I want to apologize for anything I said that might have offended you. I was wondering, maybe we might actually be friends?" The brunette spoke in confidence. Huriko lowered her eyes, making Anzu uneasy."Maybe? In a perfect world." She replied icily as she indifferently cut through the middle of the mass of people to proceed to the other end of the ship.       Frozen, Anzu stood shocked, appalled, and mostly hurt.In an attempt to comfort her, Ryou put his hand on her shoulder and told her everything was okay. She silently nodded, telling everyone she was going to be okay, although they were still concerned. What were they to say? She'd started the whole mess, talking about a girl they hardly knew behind her back, on the first day of school no less! Of course they were going to side with Anzu, but Huriko's reaction was not surprising.        With the feel good moment of the day ruined and nothing else left for them to do, the whole gang went ahead with the original plan to find their quarters. As always in a landslide vote everyone resolved to stay and Jou's room to give Yugi a bit of peace.      Yugi trudged into his room, now feeling the repercussions of waking up and being active at three in the morning. The room was absolutely gorgeous. On one end of the lavish room was a bedroom type place with a king sized four-post bed and on the other was a comfortable living room space with two couches, all of which were done in black and silver.      Using what energy he had left, he flopped onto one of the couches, burring his head in a feather soft pillow. It was like a soft cloud light and fluffy. The day was far from over and he had already had a day's worth of action, the early morning at the pier, almost leaving his friends behind, and not to forget the escapade with Huriko out there. Despite all that had happened, Yugi could take comfort in resting a while.Bit by bit he fell into a deep sleepy spell, taking rise among his dreams. A land of love, and adventure… END Chapitre FIVE A/N: I did it! Sorry again for not posting when I should but now that it's summer I don't think I'll have much of a problem with posting.
