I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh
Nighlight5: Hey I'm back…thank you to all that reviewed you have inspired me to write the 2nd chapter…Um…Yugi what are you doing?
Yugi: I'm trying to do something different to my hair by using this curling iron.
Nighlight5: But Yugi I love your hair like it is…um Yugi I don't think you should touch….that.
Yugi: OUCH!!!
Nighlight5: Oww…umm…Yami could you go check on him?
Yami: **nods**…umm…Yugi you have to let go of it…Yugi!
Nightlight5: Oh this is going to take a while and a trip to the hospital, so why don't you read Chapter 2 while I go and check on Yugi…Yugi are you ok?

Chapter 2: Stranger to the Shop
Yugi stood at the door of the dimly lit game shop. He had been standing there for a little while now. He couldn't decide whether or not he wanted to go in and explain to grandpa and Yami why he was home so late and why he didn't answer his link or sit outside until he died, which ever was less painful.
Well, since the second option was out of the question, there was only one thing left to do. Yugi extended out his hand and turned the doorknob.
"Ok, the doors locked", Yugi said exasperatedly, "New Plan".
Yugi lowered himself down and sat on the doormat.
"Well, on to plan B".
Yugi began to shiver from the cool wind that was whipping around the game shop. It was cold and dark and the only light outside was the light from neighboring houses. He watched as one of his neighbors walked to their window and shut it causing it to become even darker.
"Wait!" Yugi thought, the window! I didn't leave threw the door. I left threw the window!
Yugi quickly jumped up from his cold, hard spot on the doormat and ran to the side of the house where his window was. Sure enough, his window was wide open and the curtains were blowing in and out of the open window.
Yugi reached out his hand and gripped a hold of the metal pipe that ran up to his window. He flinched at the feel of the cold metal pipe in his hand. Yugi began to scale up the side of the house.
Note to self, Yugi though; remember to thank Joey for teaching me how to do this.
When he finally reached the window, one of his curtains blew out and hit him in the face, causing Yugi to lose his balance. He squeezed his eyes closed as he fell onto his desk and then to the floor with a bang. Yugi groaned as he slowly began to pick himself up off the floor.
"Well, Yugi said as he rubbed his head, at least I didn't fall the other way".
"Forget your key"? A deep voice asked
Yugi looked up to find Yami hovering over him.
"Here", Yami said as he extended his hand out and helped lift Yugi off the floor.
Um…thanks…", Yugi said trying not to make eye contact with Yami as he began to walk towards the bathroom.
"Yugi"
Yugi froze in his tracks and closed his eyes. He knew he would have to tell Yami something, but he just didn't want to talk about his parents. They had left him 8 years ago and as far as he was concerned they didn't exist.
"I'm sorry, Yami, It's just you and grandpa were having a conversation and I didn't want to bother you…
"Yugi, you wouldn't have bothered me". " It's just, I was worried about you".
Yugi felt bad about worrying Yami, and leaned up against the frame of the bathroom door, but didn't stay there for very long.
"Ouch, Yugi yelped as he straightened his stance and looked at the door frame to see it stained with blood.
"Blood"?
Yami jerked his head up when he heard Yugi and then ran over to check his arm. Yami gently took Yugi's arm and turned it over causing Yugi to groan in pain.
Yami was taken back by the large gash he found on the back of Yugi's arm. The gash was bleeding freely and was now beginning to drip on the floor.
"What happened?!" Yami asked as he ran into the bathroom to get the first aid kit.
" I guess I hit it on the desk when I fell in".
Yami rushed out of the bathroom with the first aid kit and rushed Yugi out of the door way and onto the bed. Yami then began to clean and dress the worn, making sure to make it tight so it wouldn't start bleeding again.
"Ouch", Yugi yelped when he felt the pressure on the gash.
"Sorry", Yami said not making eye contact, but still concentrating on stopping the bleeding.
"No, I'm sorry Yami, I should have told you I was going out".
Yugi frowned and hung his head as Yami stopped and peered up at him.
Yami looked up to see Yugi. He truly looked sorry, but he also looked as if something was bothering him to start with. Yami was about to ask what was the matter but he then sensed that Yugi didn't want to talk about it.
If something is bothering Yugi, Yami thought, and he feels that he needs to tell me, he will come to me when he wants.
Yami smiled at Yugi
"It's ok"
Yugi looked up when he heard Yami say that.
"I'm just glad your ok".
Yugi smiled back at Yami as he finished the bandage and sat on the bed beside him.
"You better get some sleep Yugi, remember you have school tomorrow.
Yugi nodded, and Yami gave him a hug before disappearing back into the puzzle.
Yugi watched as Yami disappeared. Yugi was so tried that he just fell back on his bed and closed his eyes. He was glad that Yami hadn't pushed the subject of why he was late getting home. He could probably tell that he didn't want to talk about it, but in the morning grandpa would be a different story. As he let the thought run threw his head, he gently drifted off to sleep.
(A/N: [means dreaming])
[Yugi's eyes fluttered open. He immediately noticed he was no longer in his room. "Huh"? Yugi picked himself up off the floor…or what was the floor. The floor was no longer there. It was just a giant pool of sand as far as the eye could see. "Where am I"? As soon as Yugi uttered the question a giant pyramid came zooming into view. "What"? The pyramid kept coming towards him until the pyramid revealed a glowing hole in the side of it. The hole seemed to be getting larger and larger until it swallowed him up. Yugi was now sitting inside the dark pyramid. There was not a single light in the room. All of the sudden a bright light shot out from a corner of the darkest. Yugi had to squint his eyes at first to adjust to the light. When he finally adjusted to the light he could just make out a figure standing in it. "It can't be"! Yugi's eyes opened wide when he saw who it was. "Dad"? It was his dad. He had turned around and was smiling at Yugi, but then he turned and began to walk away. "Dad, where are you going"? Yugi's father didn't reply. Yugi couldn't believe what he was seeing. Is it real…was this really happening? He had already lost his parents one time and he wasn't about to do it again. Yugi sprung from the floor and began to run towards his dad. "Wait, don't leave"! But his dad never missed a beat. As Yugi continue to run after his dad, the floor he was running on began to rumble and then cracked open causing Yugi to stop in his tracks. Some kind of dark shadow was flowing from the crack. Yugi was about to turn around and run back the other way, but the shadow reached out and grabbed his hurt arm and began to squeeze it. Yugi groaned in pain. The pain was so enormous that he slowly began to slump down on the ground. The shadow seemed to be taking advantage of his loss of strength and began to wrap itself around Yugi's other arm and his legs and finally around his neck. Yugi lie on the floor totally constricted by the shadow. At first the only pain he felt was the increasing pain in his right arm from the gash, but now he could feel his mind beginning to hurt. He felt the shadow some how moving inside his mind. The pain was beginning to take control of his mind and his vision began to blur, but right before he blacked out he heard…]
Beep Beep Beep Beep!
Yugi woke up with a snap and all must jumped straight out of his bed. The dream had scared Yugi so bad that he reached out with his right arm and slapped the alarm clock off the desk and it fell to the floor with a bang immediately stopping the noise. After hitting the alarm clock he had regretted it. He felt a sharp pain bolt up his hurt arm and grabbed his arm and cradled it in his other arm trying to stop the pain. Yugi closed his eyes and caught his breath.
It was just a dream. But how? It felt so real.
Yugi opened his eyes when he heard yet another noise. When he opened his eyes he find Yami standing by his bed
"What's wrong"?
Yugi thought about telling Yami about the dream but he figured there was no sense in worrying Yami about nothing.
"Um…it was nothing, Yugi lied, I just had the alarm turned up to loud and it scared me that's all".
Yami raised his eyebrow at his reply but lowered it when he saw Yugi's bandage.
"That'll need to be changed before you leave".
Yugi looked down at his bandage and noticed that instead of it being white like it had been, the outside had begun to turn red from all the blood.
"I can't, I'm already late for school
"Well you can't go to school with that bandage on…it will cause your gash to get infected…besides it looks like you have been squeezing on it.
Yugi froze when he heard what Yami had just said. "It was just a dream". Yugi had a look of horror on his face but quickly shook it off why he saw Yami looking.
"Don't worry it'll be fine", Yugi said as he ran into his closet and changed into his school uniform, "It'll be ok until I can get home".
Yugi then darted from the closet and grab the puzzle.
(A/N: /Yugi talking to Yami/ and //Yami talking to Yugi//)
//Are you sure//
/Yeah…it's fine/
I just hope grandpa has forgotten about last night.
Yugi creped downstairs hoping not to wake or catch grandpa up. He had almost made it to the door when.
"Ah…I see you made it in last night".
"Grandpa…um...yeah I made it in". "Well I have to go…I'm going to be late for school".
"Yugi…you don't think you are going to get off that easily do you."
"I was hoping".
Grandpa waved his finger at Yugi signaling him to come here. Yugi could tell that he wasn't going to get off as easily as he did with Yami.
"Where were you last night"?
"I...I…was at the park".
"Oh…and seeing that the park is only 10 minutes away from here, how did you manage to come home 2 hours late"?
"I'm sorry grandpa…I was just thinking about stuff and I lost track of time".
"That's no excuse". "Yugi, you had me worried to death…what if something had happened to you." "I would never be able to forgive myself".
"I'm sorry, but I'm ok, nothing happened".
"I know, and we're lucky". " You better go on to school, you'll be late".
Yugi nodded his head and turned to walk out of the shop when he heard.
"Oh…and Yugi…your grounded".
Yugi opened his mouth to say something but closed it when he saw the serious look on his grandfather's face.
"I want you to come home straight after school". "I need your help with the game shop today".
Yugi nodded his head once more then turned and left the shop.
**~~At Domino High School~~**
"Well class, the teacher said, I have the results from last weeks test and I have to say some of you did very well." "Here go Yugi….Tea." "And then again, some of you just make me sad, the teacher said as she handed Joey's paper back to him".
" A D-, but how? I studied all night for this test." "I studied chapters 5 & 6".
"That's great Joey, the teacher said, but this test was on chapters 7 & 8".
Joey's eye began to twitch right before he fell out of his desk.
"Take it easy on him Mrs.Suddeth, Kaiba said from where he sat, his little doggie brain doesn't work as well as everyone else's".
Joey jumped up from the floor and was ready to fire back.
"Hey, who asked you mop head"?!
"Us who make good grades get to comment", Kaiba said as he flashed his A+ at Joey.
Joey curled up his lip at and Kaiba and began to show his teeth, but he soon decided to forget about Kaiba. He wasn't going to take Kaiba's bait and let him make a fool of himself.
"That's ok, Joey shouted, I'll just keep studying harder and I'll ace the next test".
Um…Joey, Tea spoke up, are you aware that the next test…was yesterday"?
Joey's eyes popped open and a large sweat drop formed on the back of his head.
"WHA?!?, but how"? "Where was I"?
"You were where your always are at, Tristan said, sprawled across the desk…asleep".
Joey lowered his head as the school bell rang letting the kids know it was time to go home. Once outside they all began to walk in a straight line like usual.
"So, Joey said breaking the silence, who's up for going to the arcade".
"Ok", Tea and Tristan said in unison.
"What about you Yug"?
Yugi was about to answer when he heard Yami say something.
//Remember Yugi, you have to help your grandpa after school today with the shop//
/I know I know/
"Sorry, I can't today guys". "I have to help grandpa out with the shop today".
"Aww", Tea groaned
"Are you sure you can't get out of it Yug"?
"Oh…I'm pretty sure".
"Well, if you can, you know where to find us".
At that time they had just arrived at the game shop and waved goodbye to Yugi. Yugi was about to go in the shop when he noticed a familiar looking car parked beside the game shop. He stared that it for minute trying to figure out why it was so familiar.
//Something wrong, Yugi?//
/Oh…no, everything's fine/
Yugi then reached for the doorknob and entered the shop.
"Grandpa…I'm home".
"Grandpa"?
"He's not home yet"
"Huh"? Yugi backed up against the door when he saw who it was.
"D..Dad"!
Nighlight5: Well…there's another chapter done. I hope you liked it.
Yugi: Why did I get hurt in this chapter? It's not like I get hurt like that when I'm over at your house Nightlight5.
Nightlight5: Yugi how can you say that? We just had to take you to the hospital.
Yugi: Oh that…Well it was only a small 3rd degree burn.
Joey: and you made me stupid.
Nightlight5: Um…Joey I didn't make you stupid…you came that way.
Joey: **Anime fall**
Nightlight5: Anyways…like I said before…I hope you liked. The 3rd chapter will be better.
Yami: Please R&R
