Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-gi-oh, sobs are heard Yes, I know, it hurts me to say it, let alone, hear it. If I did, I would know Heaven on Earth grin

Author's Note: This is my second story on I'm looking to make this one a lot longer than the first. This story is also a lot different than my first, "Bring me to Life," because it contains heavy angst and perhaps a character death! Gasp You'll have to read to find out grin Also this story is YY/Y, if it offends you, turn back now. Takes place during Battle City.

"Deadly Deception"- By Cherise Wheeler

Yami's POV

Peace. A thing I wish the world had, but there will never be peace as long as my puzzle exists, and my power along with it.

Over the past few months, my enemy; our enemy, Marik has made it his life's mission to torment my friends and strip me of my powers. He dreams of nothing but world domination and making us all suffer, but I will not let that happen.

Just recently, however, I feel something amiss. I know Marik is planning something, but I do not know what. I worry; however, that this time, might be the time I fail. I have succeeded time-after-time in thwarting his plans; will this be my hour of defeat? No, it won't; it can't, not with Yugi by my side. I love Yugi with all of my heart and I know he loves me the same. We support each other always; he is my guiding light. I cannot fail if he is with me, guiding me, just as I guide him.

Just last month, Yugi and I realized our feelings for each other and admitted our love to each other, and we have been so much happier ever since. I feel our bond has increased greatly, due to our new closeness, to that, I am pleased. Also, I have recently discovered, that by using my powers, I can take on a solid form (drools). I love being able to feel him in my arms, and kiss his soft lips. He is everything to me. Without him, I am nothing...I don't know what I would do without Yugi...

In fact, when I mentioned I felt something amiss, I realized something. Yugi has been acting strangely lately, almost like he isn't himself...I'm sure it's nothing...I'm probably just imagining things...

Ok, short first chapter, but it needed to be done. It has set the stage for my fic and in the next chapter, the drama begins grin Please, read and review. Nothing makes me happier than knowing people have enjoyed something I created, corny, yes, but true. So, make my day and review:)
