AS LONG AS YOU LOVE ME
chapter 2
Authoress- Hello again. Thanks to my one and only reviewer for the last chapter.
Bakura- She just couldn't resist the urge to continue immeditaly, otherwise you probably would have to wait until four other people reviewed.
Authoress- nods
Sabelina answered the phone in her usual cheerful tone, though she was still upset as to why Yami had acted the way he had. "Hello?"
"Hey, Sabelina!" the voice over the phone said cheerfully.
"Hey Tea! What's up?"
"Nothing, that's why I called."
"Oh, suffering from boredom as you? No need to worry, I'm here to save you."
"Great! Think you can come over?"
"Of course, I'm on my way."
"Okay, see ya soon then."
"Yami?" Yugi knocked softly on the bedroom door. It was silent for a moment before Yami replied. "Yes, Yugi?"
"Can I come in?"
"...Sure."
Yugi opened the door slowly and entered the room. Yami was sitting at his desk, writing something in his journal. Yugi sat on the bed "Yami, Sabelina was wondering why you did that."
"If that was a question...I don't know." Yami replied quietly. Now it was Yugi's turn to remain silent for a moment. "Oh. Sabelina seemed pretty upset. Perhaps, you should call her." he suggested. Yami sighed "Yeah." Yugi stood up and dismissed himself from the room, heading to his own room.
Yami wrote a few more words in his journal before putting it away and climbing into bed, more confused then ever, and fell into a disturbing dream.
"Come here, Yami." purred a smooth, deep voice. Yami couldn't see where the voice was coming from but found himself moving forward, nonetheless. He felt his body being pulled into an embrace. He was held tightly to the taller, firm form, he still couldn't see.
The voice purred again, this time in his ear, "Relax, Yami." Yami was actually finding it hard not to relax against his invisible 'comforter'. The voice purred once more, "That's better my precious."
Yami blinked in confusion and noted that his eyes were starting to adjust to the lack of light but he still couldn't see anything. He heard a soft rustle to his right and was able to see a shadow shifting. So that meant there had to a light somewhere nearby. He slowly turned around, expecting to find the source of light. But what he did find wasn't a source of light...the figure chuckled "Yami?" This voice was different...higher, softer, and urgent. It was Yugi's...
Yami jerked away and sat up, expecting to see Yugi watching him. No such luck, that would make too much sense. He glanced at the clock, 5:30a.m. No sense in going back to sleep now, not like he could anyway. He groaned and managed to drag himself out of bed and headed down to the kitchen. He was surprised to see the light on and Yugi sitting at the table.
"Yugi. What are you doing up?" Yami asked, concernedly. Yugi shrugged, "You were having a bad dream, I couldn't sleep."
"Did you try to contact me through our mind-link?"
Yugi nodded "Yeah, did it work?" This time Yami was the one to nod. "Good. Want to talk about it?" Yugi responded. Yami shook his head, "Not much to talk about. It was too dark to see anything, though I did see this shadow and a person, too dark to notice any details. I know he was taller than me." Yugi watched him for a moment, "You know it was a 'he'?"
"Well, I'm pretty sure, seeing as how the voice was deep."
"What did he say?"
Yami mumbled something and took a seat across from Yugi. "Must I repeat it?" he whined. Yugi shook his head,
"I guess not... though I am very curious..." he said giver his darker half, a hopeful expression. Yami sighed, knowing if he didn't comply now, Yugi would somehow manage to make him feel guilty for not telling him.
"First he told me to come to him, and even though I didn't know where the voice was coming from I found myself moving forward. Then he told me to relax, then I guess I did because he said that was better.."
"Yami! You're leaving out half the story." complained Yugi.
"For good reason too." Yami replied softly, staring at the table in front of him.
"Oh really? And what would that reason be?"
Yami sighed again. "Because I don't understand it myself."
Yugi was about to ask another question but Solomon, their grandfather, stepped into the kitchen.
"Well! What are you two doing up already?"
Yugi looked up at his grandfather, "Yami..."
"Nothing. Really." Yami interuppted. He received a glare from Yugi and a questioning glance from Solomon.
Bakura- Jade, you do know that you made the figure in Yami's dream sound like a cat.. points to the fact she used the word 'purred', three times.
Jade/authoress- What could I say..the person reminds me of a cat...a silver one. points to ShadowSpirits' story The Pain You Gave Me. I love that story and it contributed to my ideas.. Please read and review!
