The Dark Thought
Yugi ran up the stones that crumbled underneath his feet. Not paying attention to where he was stepping, the certain step crumbled completely, and caused him to fall flat on his face. Making sure that the town's people did not see him, he sulked back up to his closet sized room and began to weep. This was a new feeling for him. Usually his heart was cold, and hard as a rock, since he had to deal with Mariku all day. But ever since his encounter with Jonouchi, he had had a change of view. He actually felt sympathy for Jonouchi, and even though he would rather stay in Egypt, he didn't want to sacrifice someone else's happiness for his conniving, manipulative ways.
Something inside him made him change his ways but what was it? Could it have been the fact that Jonouchi was his best friend and there was no way that he could do that to him? He couldn't tell. Or was it just in his mind, maybe he was weeping for the mere fact that he couldn't do what he planned and now had to make the Journey to Guanika himself. 'Yes that's it', he thought to himself. 'I am still the same, I just have to find someone to send in my place. If I can't send Jonouchi then I'll have to think of someone else.' Suddenly a terrible revelation came to his mind. He could still pick Jonouchi. He began to tell him the story and he loved the idea. All he had to do was finish telling Jonouchi and that would be the end of his worrying. From then on he would no longer have to think about this stupid journey.
He decided that he would walk up to his ruthless master in the morning and explain to him that Jonouchi had asked if he could head up the voyage. This would certainly persuade Mariku to allow Yugi to stay behind. As the night went on Yugi's mind came up with even more twisted lies. Darkness turned into Light, and the night became a sleepless one. For Yugi were too busy concocting evil plans. Finally, he ended up with the lie of all lies. First, he would tell Mariku some of the details from the previous night, of course leaving out the parts that would turn Mariku from the decision that Yugi prayed for. Then, he would have to add a few details; he would say that as soon as Jonouchi heard about the trip, he immediately asked Yugi if he could command the trip, and that way both parties would be happy. In his mind Yugi had the perfect plan.
As the sun exploded into his room, Yugi realized it was now time for him to begin his morning routine. First, he had to wake all the staff; which was the easiest morning task he had. Then, he would wake his master; which could prove to be a very strenuous ordeal. Depending on how Mariku went to bed, or how much sleep he received, major whippings would often be a result of this morning task. Therefore, being rated as the least favorite.
These of course were the only two tasks he had, but it took up a considerable amount of time. Yugi, knowing Mariku decided that it would be best to wait a few hours before mentioning anything to him about the affairs of the night before. So after he finished the second task he walked out of Mariku's chamber and continued down the hallway, until he came to the room of his true love, Anzu. She was the only thing that kept him working for Mariku. She was also partly the reason in which he wanted to stay in Egypt and build the pyramids. Her face beamed beauty, and her hair seemed to shimmer every time it swayed in the spring breeze. She had the prettiest skin, and always looked gorgeous. Yugi couldn't remember a single thing that made him feel the way she did. Whenever he was around her, he was different. Not the cold hearted person he was while around Mariku, but different. He had feelings; he was in love even.
