Disclaimer: Yu-Gi-Oh! doesn't, in any way, shape, or form belong to me. I have a feeling If i did own it, the show will crash and burn eventually. If you decide to sue me, I guess you will get the notebook where some of the chapter drafts are written, two of the YGO wallscrolls I own, and while your at it, my new Inuyasha wallscroll. I got it from Amazon.com =D

Reincarnation Of Souls

Chapter 13: Realization

When Yami awoke, a dull aching pain was in his midsection. That, and two grey blurs were swimming in front of his eyes. As his ruby eyes adjusted, he noticed groggily that Anzu and Yugi were kneeling on either side of him. Anzu, with water, Yugi with bandages. He sat up closely, and peered at them, cracking a shy smile. "Hello. Did I run into something?" Anzu peered at his belly. "You must have" she answered. "It seems like something sharp cracked you real good here. You must have passed out afterward"

Yugi, whose violet eyes were slowly gaining sparkle and happiness, collapsed on Yami, sending him back on the pillows with an "oomf!". The pain in his midsection doubled but he ignored it. He laughed as he threw his arms around the crying Yugi. "Yugi...Yugi...shh... I'm okay!" As he glanced at Anzu through Yugi's embrace, he thought she saw a frown flicker through her face. That quickly diminished as a smile filled her and she bent down, tousled Yami's hair and gave him a kiss on the forehead. "I'll come back later" Anzu whispered, running a hand through her hair. Yami noticed that her eyes did not agree with her smile, but quickly forgot as Yugi landed Yami with a wet kiss on the cheek, as Anzu exited the room quietly.

After Anzu left, Yugi rolled off Yami, and sat up. "Master Yami!!! I woke up! I woke up and-" He dropped off and gestured toward the area near the door. A red stain was on the floor. "Anzu tried to clean up. It wouldn't come off... after that...the...air felt weird. And the sky made rumbling noises. What happened?! I was sleeping, How could I not have noticed anything Yami?!"

Yami peered over the bed to the area on the floor. Then the blood on the wall directly in front of his bed with the shackles on either side. He then looked up to the high blood stain to the left of the bed. 'Coincidence' he thought grimly to himself. Reality crashed down on him when he remembered what he was doing before he blanked out. "Your injuries!" He exclaimed, swinging his head around to look at Yugi from head to toe. "Are you allright?!" Yugi nodded fervently. "Anzu cared for me. I don't think she was very happy Master Yami. I woke up and you were next to me. And Anzu was there. She was crying"

Yami suddenly remembered the cold look in her eyes as she exited the room. He felt his stomach plummet. The warm happy feeling inside of him vanished as though a cold gust of wind exterminated it. He swung his feet over the bed and stood to his feet. "Yugi...will you please excuse me for a moment?"

Yugi nodded. "Okay Master Yami"

Yami nodded. Turning on his heel, he fled from the room at top speed.

Anzu, wiping streaming eyes, turned briskly down the hall toward the courtyard gardens. 'Of course. Yugi. Yugi Yugi Yugi. I was frightened, and he gives his attention to Yugi. Whats so special about that boy?!'

"Why....why Yami?!" she whispered, sinking to the floor beside a bush, and putting her face to her hands. "Why do I feel this way?!" Anzu cried to her hands. "This...feeling....Its as if, I love Yami two different ways...as if...there is another person inside me that loves him just like I do....

...and I hate him"
