M. THE TRUTH REVEALED

It Can't Rain All the Time

Oh, when I'm lonely,

I lie awake at night

and I wish you were here.

I miss you.

Can you tell me

is there something more to belive in?

Or is this all there is?

Last night I had a dream.

You came into my room,

you took me into your arms.

Whispering and kissing me,

and telling me to still belive.

But then the emptiness of a burning sea against which we see

our darkest of sadness.

Until I felt safe and warm.

I fell asleep in your arms.

When I awoke I cried again for you were gone.

Oh, can you hear me?

Kurama pulled Yusuke into a friendly embrace when they were alone at Yusuke's home after the ordeal. "I remember parts of my childhood." he stated sadly, as they sat in his room. "I remember a man with a spiked hairstyle teaching me to fight, not in the way that Genki was... he was showing me, us, ancient techniques as that woman, Yugi, was always screwing him up. But they were shadows, no faces."

"Us?" Kurama asked as Yusuke sat against a wall with a sigh.

"I remember two girls... they seemed to have been hell bent on annoying everyone." he stated with a laugh as he held the Millennium Tauk, fooling around with it as he mentally debated weither he should trust the girl and put it on or not and keep on wondering about what she told him.

"You can't bring it upon yourself to blame that woman?" he asked as Yusuke looked ready to hurt something, he clutched the magical object harder as Kurama rested a hand on his shoulder. "Give her a chance, Yusuke. In the Spirit World Files they do state that those from the Shadow Realms never lie because they value truth as honor and that it is terrible to hide behind lies."

"I guess your right, Kurama." he replied as the pink haired boy gave him a smile and kissed his forehead.

"Give it a shot, Yusuke. If you don't believe it then you can always give it back to her and give her a peice of your mind." he stated as the tempermental Spirit Detective accepted that plan and nodded.

"See ya' tomorrow." he stated as Kurama left, he laid back on his bed and held the Tauk up in front of his face. "You, my dear thing, better not be a mind control device nor away to kill me slowly." he muttered and put it on. it was then he felt a jolt as he closed his eyes and seen what he waned.

[ A crying three year old Yusuke was in bed as a beauitful young woman came sprinting in, looking rather concerned. "Mama." he sobbed as she picked him up and held him close, the boy held on to her robe as he buried his face into her shoulder with little arms around her neck. "I had a terrible--"

"Shh, child." she whispered stroking his hair and rocking him back and forth. "Tis fine, all is well."

"I seen terrible things." he whispered as she frowned.

"Don't worry, Yusuke my dear, you'll grow up to scare away these terrible things." she stated as he sighed and started to fall asleep.

"Like you and Papa?" he slurred as she laughed.

"Or anybody else, my angel." she stated firmly. ]

["Goddess help me, he's just like you." a woman with tri-colored hair stated as her violet eyes sparkled with laughter. It was then she reached over and hit the spiked tri-colored haired man on the head. "But cuter." A four year old Yusuke giggled as he snuck up on his father and hit him with a water balloon.

"Damn you, Yugi, he's about as mischevious as you are." he stated breaking out the hose and attacking the other three.

"Yami, you cheater!" Yugi shouted tackling her husband as Yusuke and his twin sister acquired the hose and started another water fight that soon turned into a mud fight.]

[ "Yusuke!" a voice shouted as he seen a younger version of Yume running towards him, hugging him as a man laughed as the woman seemed to be talking with someone else. A blonde... dark skinned...

"Uncle 'Mal!" he shouted as both kids tackled the blonde, followed by the man's laughter.

"Well, Malik, looks like you got taken out." he stated as all laughed.

"Come on, you two hellraisers." she stated picking both up. "How would you like to visit Grandpa Shadi and Grandpa Solomon?" she asked as they shouted yes, getting a smile from her.

"I'll tell Kaiba to reschedule the meeting, Chemy, I'm sure he'll understand." the blonde stated standing up.

"I take it he's in Japan?" ]

[ "Mama! Papa!" a younger Yusuke shouted as he tried to get out of the odd woman's grips. "Mama! Yume! Papa!"

"Now it will be finished, the Shadow Realms won't interfere with my perfect future." the Time Guardian muttered as she held the struggling six year old. Two people came bursting into the room, eyes blazing as Pluto stared at them. He seen Yume come in as Pluto raised her staff.

The man lunged for Pluto as she got off an attack, which the woman jumped in front of. He seen his mother take the blow for his sister as the man attacked Pluto, but she slipped into a portal. He took a few steps and kneeled by his wife. "Yugi, by Ra, hold on." he stated as she took in a few shaky breaths before coughing.

"Call Malik and Ryou and Seto." she stated, getting to her knees as Yume was crying. She scooped up the six year old girl and tried to calm her. "Calm down Yume, please." she pleaded, restraining her anger as she went off to her daughter's room. The man went off also. ]

[ "WHAT?!" voices chorused as he seen the blonde, a pale haired man, a cold brunette, a black haired man, and a man in a turban. Each looked rather pissed and beyond the realm of hate. The man with spiked hair stood as did the woman with tri-colored hair. She was trembling as he tried to calm her down.

"Setsuna Meioh has kidnapped our son, in our own home." she stated as the group was still shocked. "It will take a good bit, that is why I am asking you to help."

"That bitch." the cold man with brown hair stated, slamming his fist down on the table and cracking it. "Mokuba and I can keep tabs on her, maybe track down her friends and see about blackmailing them into getting on her case."

"Let's start." the blonde growled as all blinked."For Yusuke's sake, you can't try tracing him nor her by yourselves without exhaustion." ]

[ "Mama, what's wrong?" a slightly older Yume questioned her stressed mother. "Is it about Yusuke?"

"Gods, I'm going to slowly killer her when I find her." she muttered as Yume hugged her.

"You'll find him, you got to!" she stated as she watched her near crying daughter.

"Come on you, off to school!" she stated as Yume blinked in confusion. "You go to school and I vow on my soul I'll never give up, no matter how long or the cost I will find my son."

"You better!" she stated and went off as the man sat by her.

"To the Shadow Realms?" he asked as she nodded.

"Back to the drawing board." she stated as they were gone. ]

[ "Nearly eleven years!" a excited voice stated as the woman focused her self on where it was. "Time Guardian or no, you slipped up. Finally..." with that she fell back into the man's arms as Yume was gone.

"Why do you exhaust yourself?" he whispered picking her up as it went into what just happened... ]
