Through the Mirror – Chapter Ten
Hey, there. Here's the next chapter. I wrote it with a few difficulties, but I hope you like it as it is. Review Replies are – as always – at the end of the chapter. Big Thank Yous and a big box of cookies to my beta AmberEyes!!
Disclaimer: Yu-Gi-Oh! is not mine. Be glad it isn't, because I can't draw very well. Nobody would want to watch it (I'm included)... Ahm, and the thing with the 'Simpson'-Boosters and 'Pokemon'-Boosters from the last chapter... they don't belong to me either.
Have fun reading!!
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Yugi had started to pile up the Booster Packs, sorting them into different paper boxes. He tried to appear calm, but his hands shook slightly, of course due to Yami, who leant at the counter beside him, sending him intent glances and every so often looking over to Sugoroku, obviously waiting for him to leave the room. Other than that he had stayed silent, his arms crossed over his chest defiantly. He was waiting for his moment to come.
::Someone help me,:: Yugi thought frantically, continuing to search for a way to escape. He could just run out the door and flee, but Yami was sure to catch him with ease. And then they would be alone again and his grandfather was his only security, the only thing to hold his look-alike back. So he had to stay by his side.
Another few minutes dragged on slowly, so slowly indeed, that he was sure to hear every second on the big clock at the wall tick by with a deafeningly loudness. It was torture to him. Time seemed to have lost validity somehow.
Suddenly a ringing sound echoed from the flat into the game shop, first breaking the tension, throwing the whole world back into action, then freezing everything to a halt again. The telephone. Yugi's hands stilled, unable to move, his face paling to an ashen colour. He couldn't remember a time he was so shocked to hear the device. He turned around slowly, seeing Yami's confused look in the direction of the sound and his grandpa making his way over to the door. He panicked.
::Don't go, grandpa, please, don't go!:: He quickly dashed past Yami to follow the old man, but was held back by a strong hand, wrapping around his arm, pulling him backwards against a warm body. He glanced up and saw Yami grinning at the door, which slowly fell shut, leaving only the both of them alone in the shop.
"Let me go this instant or else I'll scream," Yugi threatened, but knew it was a weak attempt. He was much too frightened to sound strong. As if to confirm this line of thought Yami's free arm came up, sliding around his waist and holding him close.
---I don't know what it was that called your grandfather out, but it certainly helped me.--- The taller boy smiled in triumph. ---I stayed much too long in your dimension, it's time to go back, little one. They will be waiting already.---
"You... You..." Yugi swallowed the lump in his throat, a sinking feeling in his chest. He felt lost... defeated. Tired. "You can't expect me to ever respect you again after this, Yami. I won't ever forgive you."
Yami's smile vanished, fear invading his features. ---Stop saying that. You can't change my mind.---
"I know." Yugi looked down to the floor sadly. It was probably the last time he saw the game shop or is home. Yami was just going to drag him out the door to a mirror and by doing that destroy his life. Then suddenly it hit him. His eyes widened, understanding working its way into his mind. He was safe here. The plan wasn't going to work! Yami beside him stiffened. Obviously he had read that thought. Yugi wanted to cry with relief, barely able to hold back the tears. His grandfather had gone to answer the telephone and that meant he stood directly behind the door, where the device was. There was no mirror in the game shop. He was safe!
---Can't be.--- Yami's eyes drifted to the right, then to the left, searching and finding nothing. He visibly gritted his teeth in anger. ---Be sure, I will find a mirror. We'll just go out, there has to be someone owning one!---
Yugi's mouth went dry. Yami was determined enough to go as far as break into another person's house? The prospect of other people getting hurt in the process, made his stomach churn. He started to struggle, immediately feeling that his efforts were in vain. He didn't have the physical strength to beat Yami.
---Aibou,--- Yami growled, pressing their bodies together in order to hinder Yugi so that he couldn't get any kicks or punches in. ---Don't do that.---
"You can't order me around, I'm not your slave." Not yet anyway. He sucked in air deeply, determined to scream out as loud as he could, just as he had told Yami he would do, but suddenly a hand was clamped tightly over his mouth, muffling his voice.
---You're not going to alarm the old man.---
::I will!:: Yugi bit down on the hand hard, making Yami flinch away promptly, wincing in pain. Again he filled his lungs with as much air as possible, driven by the urge to rescue himself. Nothing would be able to hold him back now. Nothing but...
---Please don't.--- Yami's unsteady voice captured his attention and he looked over to him distractedly, holding his breath. ---Please don't do that.---
::Why shouldn't I?:: Yugi narrowed his eyes angrily, but let the air leave his lungs slowly. He watched the other boy carefully. ::You want to abduct me, destroy my whole life! What do you expect me to do?!:: He was furious by now, fisting his hands at his sides.
---You...--- Yami cast his eyes down, a gesture which astounded Yugi, because he had never done such a thing before. ---You said you need me. Every fibre of your being screams at me how much you do. But somehow... somehow a great part of your mind doesn't want to submit to that feeling. How could it be that you want to be separated from me?---
"I never said that..." The anger Yugi felt softened to light irritation. "I just don't want to lose my home."
---Then I'll give you a new home!--- The edge of desperation surfaced in Yami's eyes again."But I don't know you at all," Yugi said quietly. "How can I trust you enough to put my life into your hands. You told me you don't want to be dependent on my decision. Do you know what you do to me by making me your slave? You make me dependent on you not only emotionally, but in every way possible. I won't have any rights at all. I'll lose not only my home, family, everything familiar, no, I'll lose my independence. Is that what you want? You want to make me depend on you?"
---That's not the reason.--- Obviously Yami was getting angry again. ---Don't you understand it?!---
"No, I don't!"
Yami gritted his teeth. ---I have to go home! I am the pharaoh! I have to rule Egypt and I have been absent for too long already! I just don't want to lose you! The problem is... the door to your dimension will be sealed next time I get back. It's too dangerous to let it stay open. What am I supposed to do now?! Say goodbye?! No... no, I don't want that! And I won't have that! I'm the pharaoh! My word is order! And nobody, you hear me, nobody can just go against that! Nobody! Not even you!---
Silence.
Yami was panting with rage, a dark growl warning everyone that he wasn't to be pushed now and better not to be contradicted. Yugi forced his thoughts away from this subject. He knew thinking about it would make the pharaoh snap, because his thoughts would certainly disagree. He looked down to the floor, not knowing what to say or think. So it was either lose home or lose Yami. He didn't want to lose Yami, despite everything he had come to like the ruby fire in his eyes somehow. There was a pull between them, something he could almost physically grab. There was a need to be with Yami, however shadowed his personality was. On the other side he couldn't give in to this feelings. It was wrong. Being with Yami required too great a sacrifice. He would have to give up everything for an uncertain future with a person he didn't know and didn't trust in a land he didn't know, surrounded by foreigners. That was too much. He shook his head.
"I'm sorry," he whispered, keeping his voice as even as possible, trying to make his contradiction sound soothing. "Even if your word always is order where you come from, I can't allow you to take me with you. You are not a ruler here, you can't demand of me to bow down before you. I simply won't!"
---Isn't that what you fear?!--- Yami made a furious step forward, closing the gap between them, making Yugi gasp in shock and reluctant pleasure as their bodies met. He kept his arms at his own sides though, merely searching for warm contact. ---You fear to lose your rights, your status as an independent human being? Look at me. The pharaoh, highest person walking this earth, degraded to this, a citizen, a boy like all the other boys around. I can't do anything about it while I'm here, unless I hurt someone to show them I'm superior! And that I can't do. I know how it feels to lose independence!---
"Then you should know that it isn't fair to do that to me," Yugi said, not able to resist leaning into the warmth slightly. As long as he wasn't forced, he found that it felt good to be near the other. "I mean, you have at least the choice to decide what you want. And you don't want to give this choice to me as well! Why am I not allowed to decide if I want to go with you or not?"
---Because you don't want to go and I would lose you!--- Determination clashed with the desperate rage in Yami's eyes. The dangerous glint in them made Yugi shiver. He stumbled backwards, losing the contact between their bodies. ---I would love to let you decide, but right now I can't allow it. It would hurt me far too much.---
Before Yugi could yell at Yami that there was nothing he could forbid him, the door opened and Sugoroku entered. Both boys looked at him in surprise. They had been too deep in this conversation and had forgotten that he had been directly in front of the door. Yami's gaze darkened, a sneer pulling at the thin line of his mouth.
"Yugi, your mother wants to talk to you. She's on the telephone." The old man went back behind the counter, eyeing their guest suspiciously. His grandson nodded and walked towards the door, pace unsteady and face pale. Yami followed him closely, every step gracefully and showing his proud nature, concentration fixed utterly on Yugi now.
Yugi felt Yami's presence in his back, telling him there was no chance to escape. Even if there was a possibility, a way out, before he would be able to form a plan, Yami would have prevented it. He read his thoughts after all. And somehow he couldn't do the same with Yami, no matter how hard he tried. The mind link only let him experience a few of Yami's feelings. He wondered if he had closed it or something like that.
Shaking his head to clear it of the right now unimportant thoughts, he focused on his major problem, fear making his breathing quicken and adrenaline rushing through his veins. He knew that by leaving the room now, he was utterly helpless. There was nobody and nothing to stop Yami. Even though... he couldn't tell his grandfather about his intentions. By that he would put him in danger. He didn't know what Yami was willing to do if he even risked his hatred. Sighing he closed the door after his look-alike.
---I can't just leave you, that much you should have understood by now,--- Yami told him fiercely, having read his anxious thoughts. ---I need you so much. The thought of being without you forever is unbearable...---
::Sometimes you have to let go, despite all the pain.:: Yugi looked at him sternly for a moment, then turned around and took the waiting receiver. "Hello? Mom?"
"Yugi, my boy, how are you doing?" the cheerful voice of Mrs. Mutou immediately spoke up and Yami flinched slightly beside him, then blinked curiously at the telephone.
---Intriguing,--- was his only comment, before he leant forward to listen to the woman.
::You can't understand her anyway.:: Yugi looked at him for a short moment suspiciously, but turned back to the receiver after a few seconds.
"I'm fine," he answered, forcing a smile into the words. "And my grades are good as well, so don't even ask."
"How did you know I would?" His mother laughed at the other end of the line."You always do." Yugi grinned, a bit happier than before. It felt good to talk to her. "And how are you doing in America? When will you be back?"
An audible sigh could be heard. "Oh, Yugi, I tell you they try to throw stones in my way every chance they get! It will take me a while longer than planned, but after those dorks are pursued into publishing the translation of my book, I come back as soon as possible."
Yugi had to force himself to voice his next question, knowing for him it made no difference how long she took. "Promise?"
"Of course, I promise." The loving tone in her voice brought tears to Yugi's eyes. If Yami really proceeded in taking him to Egypt, this was the last time he had the chance to talk to her. The last chance. Last. Yugi forced back a sob. Yami's presence in his back felt crushing.
---Aibou...---
"Mom... I..." He stopped short, trying his best to calm down, not wanting his mother to worry.
"What's it?" The cheerfulness had vanished and Yugi cursed silently. He had to hang up, or else she would know soon. Then she would forget all about her book and come back home, only to find him gone. No, he had to give her some more time.
"Nothing," he lied, finding it hard to sound composed. "I just wanted to say... I miss you. Very much. And – I love you."
"I know, Yugi." If someone was able to sound happy, worried and sad at the same time, his mother managed it. "I love you, too. And I miss you lot there, tell your grandpa as well. I wish I could be at home right now, I have the irresistible urge to ruffle your messy hair."
They both laughed, though Yugi felt hot tears slide down his cheeks. "Yeah, I suppose then I'm happy to have the distance between us, so you can't get your claws on me."
"Just you wait, son." Yugi could almost see her waggle a finger at him playfully. "My time will come."
"Yeah." He fell silent, the impact of what was about to happen to him, pressing down on him hard. Suddenly something at the other end of the line shuffled, a ringing noise could be heard.
"Oh, no." Mrs. Mutou groaned. "I have to go, Yugi, dear. There's someone at the door and I think I know exactly who it is." She sighed. "Time to go back to work, I have a meeting with a manager of the publishing firm. But I'll call tomorrow, okay?""Okay." Nervously Yugi shifted the receiver to his other hand, his throat suddenly hoarse. "Then it's Good Bye, isn't it?" He felt the salty taste of his tears on his tongue and tried to wipe the wetness off his face with his sleeve. It didn't work, it just got wet all over again.
"Yes, Yugi, but we'll talk tomorrow," the reassuring voice of his mother said. "Good Bye." He could hear her yell an exasperated 'I'm coming, stop banging at the door!', before she hung up, ending the telephone call. His hand holding the receiver started to tremble, a sob escaping his throat.
"Bye," he whispered, not daring to turn around to Yami. He dearly wished the other boy
would just go away and leave him alone. Right now he didn't want to understand him or try to accept him. Right now all he wanted was a bit of peace, a bit of time alone, so he could curl up in a deserted corner and cry. Yami was such unsteady a person, always so livid, so confusing...
---Please, look at me, little one.--- Yami sounded strangled, desperate and sorrowful.
Yugi shook his head, his hand tightening around the device, keeping it near his ear, so he could still hear the faint tooting. He didn't want to see Yami, he wanted to go to his mother, wanted to hide in her embrace. To just hide away from the world in her arms. Suddenly there were two hands on his shoulders, forcing him to oblige to Yami's demand. They turned him around swiftly and roughly he was shoved against the wall beside the telephone. The receiver slipped from his grip and hit the floor with a light thud. Hesitantly he looked up at Yami and involuntary gasped. Such sadness and conflict was displayed in his eyes that he had to catch his breath. His look-alike pushed him harder against the wall, glaring at him – as though all this was his fault. Then, much to Yugi's disbelief, tears sprung to his eyes, making them shine brightly in the dimmed light.
---Why...?--- Yami grabbed him by the collar and shook him. ---Why are you doing this to me? Why do you hurt me so much? Why can't you just need me as much as I need you? Why do you need other people more than me? Why can't you understand, why not accept me? Why?! Why all this?! I don't want it to be like this! I don't want to see you cry or run away from me. I don't want to see you look at me that terrified. I don't want to lose you... and no matter what I do, it seems there is no way around it. If I just go back alone, I will never see you again... if I take you with me by force, I'll have you by my side, but it wouldn't be YOU at the same time. I need the real you!" Finally the tears spilled from Yami's eyes, falling to his cheeks, running down to his chin. "What am I to do? Why can't I do anything right? I already lost most of your trust in me, I already scared you and I just cannot go on like this! If I realise my plan, you'll be gone completely. I'm feeling so lost. What can I do? What can I do...?---
Yami pushed him back against the wall, his hands fisting in the clothing he was still holding. His head sank down to Yugi's shoulder, hiding his compromising situation, his temple carefully resting there, the silent tears wetting the school uniform. ---I wish I could stay here forever and forget Egypt. I would give up everything, I would even try to learn your language and adapt to your weird system. I would give up my status as a pharaoh... as hard as it would be to manage all this... if it would please you, if you could accept me that way and learn to trust me. I would do it all. But... but the responsibilities... The shadows have to be controlled by me, there are powers that would be let lose if I stayed here and the connection to my world was gone. I really wish I could just let that happen and shrug it off... but do you know how many people would die? I don't know what to do anymore. I hate it. I hate the helplessness. This feeling makes me... do things I don't want to do. This feeling makes me hurt you, frighten you, when all I want is to be with you and make you happy. Please, please tell me what to do. Help me. Please, help me. Don't tell me to go, don't push me away. Help me...---
Yugi swallowed, having a lump in his throat that deterred him from speaking. Thoughts rushed through his mind at a high speed rate, confusion at having a crying Yami cling to him and begging him to help, clouding it. For a short moment the suspicious thought went through his mind, that all that probably was an act, but he dismissed it as fast as it came. It couldn't be. Yami had been sincere from the start. He always had said what he wanted and what he thought with utter honesty. That he now cried seemed to be impossible, he was a pharaoh after all. Wasn't it a sign of his desperation that he let something like that happen? But... how could he help him? And did he want that?
::Yes.:: That question was simple to answer. One of the very few to be answered simple and clean. He wanted to help. Very much so. He could feel Yami sigh, the air brushing against his neck lightly. She shivered at the delicate tickle on his skin.
---What can I do?--- Yami asked again, his voice small and pained. ---Tell me where to go, what to do, please...---
"I don't know yet." Yugi shifted and took Yami's hands in his, disentangling them carefully of his clothes. The other teen simply let that happen, no resistance in his fingers.
---What am I to do?--- Yami repeated, seemingly not willing to take Yugi's answer as it was.
"First..." Yugi stepped forward, away from the wall and over the small distance between them towards Yami. "...let me hug you."
---Hug?--- The pharaoh sighed again quietly as the smaller boy put his arms around him and pulled him against his body. ---How is that going to help me?---
"It is meant to comfort you, silly." Yugi smiled against Yami's hair, his own fears and problems – though caused by the boy in his arms – for the moment forgotten. "After that we both can think of a solution. Is that okay with you?"---Yes.--- The taller teen fell silent, his arms coming up to return the hug and they stood in front of the door to the game shop for a while, just holding on to each other, dwelling in the warmth they had created between them. Only the smell of something strange caught their attention and their heads turned to the kitchen simultaneously.
"The cooking!" Yugi shrieked, making Yami duck his head in shock. "No, no, no, no, no!!"
He hurried to the stove, pulling the pot off of the hotplate immediately and opening the window to get the smoke out. "I hope we didn't come too late... I would hate to see the food ruined."
A hesitant tug on his sleeve made him stop in his tracks, look up and into Yami's pleading eyes. He had never seen him like that before and it caused him to blink in surprise and shock. What was it with Yami and the mood swings?
"Yes, Yami?"
---Would you... hug me again?---
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
To Be Continued...
That was it for now. Many of you wanted Yugi to be taken to Egypt, but also many of you wanted him to stay. Wait and see what happens, because it's not over yet.
Well... Yami crying. (looks at the readers) Yes, he is crying. And he is trying to hide his tears from Yugi by hiding his face, though knowing that isn't possible. But there's just no way out for him and Yugi is... an anchor, the centre of his problems and desires. I hope it all sounded like it was meant to.
Review Replies:
Thank you, thank you! You people out there make me so happy!! (hugs everyone) Here, you get a Yugi-cuddly toy!!
There were far too many reviews to answer every single one. I'll put down the names here and answer the first ten to fifteen reviews I got. I think I will do that in future chapters as well. It's fair and I don't have to pick someone out.
Thank you to: Kohako (Don't know about the Seto-Jou yet, but I'll think about it), I love athrun (That were many reviews. I was shocked, because it was the same sentence to each chapter ), Towairaito Zoon (This story owns the world? Of course it does! Muahaha), reki (self-heimlich? Does that even exist (laughs) I will be careful with the fluff), Kagu (So Yugi shall be taken to Egypt? Poor boy. (cackles)), Shire (Thanks, I like dramatic stories), Osiris-Lee (Did you know the word 'uber' is a German word? Heh, so you wanted uber-angst?), PadFootNoxed (Thanks for putting me to your favs), SilverWing147 (Yami a Stalkist?! I have to think about that... Erm... Right, but I don't think Yami watched Yugi shower... or did he? And you're right. Yami had been approving and then... (sighs)), Maverick Soldier (Perfectly balanced? I had hoped for that (smiles) Here is the update, so you don't have to lose your sanity! I liked the review), Chibi-ichii (Now Yami doesn't show only insecurity, but also weakness. And I don't think I do the Inu-Yasha-thing. Good idea though, it had crossed my mind, too), Rikainiel (Don't you like the possessiveness? (grins)), Hikari Hiei (Yugi can't keep his distance as long as Yami won't let him, hehe.), Laryna6 (Yeah, the trust-issue! Yami, the mighty Pharaoh! Can't let enyone order him around or disobey (snickers) About Egypt: You'll see soon what's going on there, so I don't say anything (winks)), ime back (Yami will be less mean in future chapters (pokes Yami) Nee, Yami?), Hakiri-Nefertiri (Yeah, Yami is used to just getting everything the easy way. Now that he is in a lose-lose-situation, he can't take it (laughs)), tiger witch (Sorry, no Egypt in this chapter. But perhaps in the next one? (nudges Yami) Get him, Yami!), linkfreak (Break the puzzle?! Well, THAT would be mean. It would hurt Yami a great deal. I think Yami would just go and crush whole Egypt in his despair =), Anime Crazed (Isn't that clear? I thought I explained that many, many times? Okay, you're right, I couldn't explain the whole thing, because that will come up later. Wait and see! (smiles)), Master Elora Dannan (Off to Egypt? Yaaaaaamiiii? Could you take Yugi to Egypt? Pleeease? (flutters eye-lashes at him) Well, Yugi would lose everything. Poor boy. Can I really do this?)
Other Review Replies:
Yana5: You like Yami being in control? He's a control freak, right? Well, he is the high and mighty Pharaoh after all!
AmberEyes: You like that version better? I'm relieved! So I at least succeeded! I had been almost frantic with the last chapter! Thank you for beta-ing! (hugs Amber)
Pharaoh Atemu's Angel: Well, you WONDER what happens next and I KNOW it. But there's one disadvantage I have. I have to write it... Waaah! (hits head on the desk)
Flowacat: You think Yami was a spoiled brat as a child? Yeah, you may have a point. Well, imagine everyone tells you that you are the highest person on earth as soon as you can understand it. XD And Yugi just says 'No, you're not.' Of course he's pissed (laughes) You sure don't sound like an ice princess (grins) You do like fluff very much, right?
Sozoku: But it's not sure if Yami takes him to Egypt or not. Though this chapter showed his uncertainty. Every time I think about Yami taking Yugi to Egypt I have the picture of Yugi in my head, how he is sitting at a window in the palace and staring outside over the villages, longing to get away, then Yami running on and about, trying to cheer him up and not succeeding... sniff... a sad picture. Interesting, but it would shatter Yugi's trust completely and then you could throw the story away, because there is no point anymore. (sighs) Yami is really crazy. Well, thank you for the review.
YumeTakato: Yeah, you're right. Everyone keeps on saying 'Poor Yugi, poor Yugi', but what about Yami? Though I must admit, Yami is the one in control of things, so he has the responsibility to use them the right way. Well, thanks for the review!
Geminidragon: So you want to see Egypt? Good, because I surely will give a glimpse of it sometime. I Yugi will be abducted or not... well, time will show it!
Lomedraug: GOLLUM?! Oookay, you have a point in a way. Keep the Puzzle in mind, it will come up later on and it will be important. Yugi is very possessive when it comes to the puzzle, he would never give it to Sugoroku.
Yami-loverOB1: Don't die! Don't die! Here's the next chapter!! I already have a plan how my story is going to go, but your idea is great. So, sorry. I can't use it. And I'm not sure if it would work. Yugi has less power than Yami, how could he block the way back with a power not even equal to Yami's? Yami could break it and then there would be a mess again. Anyway, thank you for the idea and the review!
SoulDreamer: Okay, I finally accepted that I write cliched stuff. It's not a bad thing, right? So I write more and wait for doom to get me (yawns) Doom? Ha! I laugh in its face Muahahaha! Anyway, thanks for the review!
My special Review Replies (Some of you had such nice long reviews, I couldn't let them unresponded =))
Strega: Ah, there you are! (grins) You liked the last chapter best? I can't believe it, it was so hard for me to write! I even contemplated stuffing it into a folder and leaving it there to never be continued. It had been frustrating! Anyway...
1) You liked the drama? Good, then it was worth the sweat and tears. The desperation grew according to Yami's growing fear, because he realised that Yugi wasn't going to go with him without him forcing him.
2) Great! You understood him! (gives bear hug) I liked your statement 'I I'm not ruler here... I'll take you somewhere I can rule over you.' It's so very true! That's exactly how Yami thinks!
3) Yugi really has backbone in the series, though I like him as the small, poor, little Yugi as well. I tried to keep him a little bit more under control though. You cheered him on? That's nice! Someone has to show Yami how to behave after all (Yami, SIT!) Seriously, Yami needs to learn and Yugi has to have backbone for that, or else the whole story would be pretty pointless with Yugi following Yami everywhere in everything and crying all the time (shakes head)
4) Yes, Yugi gave Yami a second chance, but there would never be a third chance! So if Yami really realises his plan, he shatters everything there had been between them. And to rebuild it must be very, very difficult, if not impossible!
5) Yes, Yami means Yugi's soul, his Ka and Ba, everything that makes him Yugi, but he doesn't mean slavery (though he himself said Yugi would be his slave in Egypt. Bad, Yami. Now wonder Yugi understood it wrong). He wants to have Yugi's Ka and Ba, because then Yugi would be dependent on him and never leave him. The reason for that is quite obvious... Yami gave him his own Ka and Ba, he devoted him everything he is (though Yugi doesn't realise it) and is kind of Yugi's possession (and because of that would never leave Yugi). He needs something in return, something to be sure of. He needs Yugi, because Yugi has his soul. I don't know if you meant it like that (sweatdrop)
6) Yeah, the end was a nasty cliffy. You liked it? I can't believe you liked it THAT much. I was very uncertain about that chapter, but now I'm sure everything went back to going how I want it to go! Well, thank you for the review (and the compliments. You helped me to gain the confidence to continue)!
Sansi: Hey, there! Na, alles klar?
Dein jetzt wohl allerlängster Review war ziemlich interessant. Du hast den Punkt gut getroffen, muss ich sagen. Der Großvater und wohl auch die Mutter sind für Yami Yugi's Familie. Würde er ihnen weh tun, würde er auch Yugi weh tun.
Du möchtest also, dass Yami Yugi nicht nach Ägypten verschleppt? Deine Gründe sind gut, genau die, die auch ich im Kopf habe. Yami zögert schon die ganze Zeit und Yugi's Leiden hat ihn letztendlich doch getroffen, auch, wenn noch nicht feststeht, ob sein Wille, Yugi bei sich zu behalten, am Ende doch Oberhand gewinnt. Er hat ziemliche Angst, Yugi zu verlieren.
Das achte Millenniums-Item? Meintest du damit nicht vielleicht den Kino-Film? Ich habe mal in einer Zeitschrift gelesen, da soll es angeblich um ein achtes Milleinniums.Item gehen, aber das stimmte gar nicht. Das war kein Millenniums-Artefakt. Soll es in YGO R tatsächlich ein achtes geben? Hmm... Also, ich würde es mir ansehen, wenn es läuft, aber bei uns läuft ja im Oktober erst mal die neue Staffel an, mit Orichalos (ich habe die DVDs und da sind die bis Folge 155 drauf. Richtig spannend (sigh))
PMS? Ja, ich habe mal nachgeschlagen. Hat, glaube ich, irgendwas mit der Periode zu tun, das stand aber auch nicht genau erklärt, sondern nur, was die Abkürzung bedeutet (sweatdrop)
So, danke für den längsten Review der Welt!! Man sieht sich wohl!! (hug)
Cheria: Many, many questions. Yami can't just grab Yugi and run off with him. On the one side, it hurts him to do something like that to Yugi. Though he IS determined, he also feels guilty. On the other side, there's Yugi's grandfather. He is family to Yugi. If Yami killed grandpa, he would hurt Yugi. So Yami can't do that. The other thing you mentioned, what if Yugi threatened to kill himself and how Yami would react... hm. He would be furious, then he would lock Yugi in a room without any sharp objects and pin him down until he is sure that Yugi doesn't want to kill himself anymore. I think it would be like that.
