Chapter 2:
Incomplete
After the whole ordeal with Raphael and his little fight with Joey, Yami walked inside the motor home, solemnly, still thinking of Yugi. He sat down at the table, with his head in his hands. No one was in the motor home with him, but he didn't care anymore. He sat there and began to cry his heart out.
"Yugi…I'm so sorry…please…forgive me…I beg of you…" he sobbed. He looked out the window at his-no, Yugi's- friends who were either hanging out or laughing about some dumb joke. He didn't notice Tea's and Rebecca looking inside sadly at him. He stood up and walked to another room of the motor home.
"I hope he's okay," Rebecca said sadly. Even though she didn't trust the Pharaoh, she believed in him.
"I hope so too, Rebecca," Tea' said.
"I hope so too…"
Soon, night rolled along. Everyone was asleep, even Yami. He was still for only a few moments, and he began to whimper in his sleep. He started tossing and turning, tears rolling down his face as the thoughts of the duel replayed in his mind.
Time for you to pay up, Pharaoh!
No!
Yugi! No! What are you doing here!
It only needs one of us. So I'm letting the Seal take me instead.
NO! YUGI!
Yami bolted up from where he slept, sweating and breathing heavily. More tears began to form in his eyes. He clutched the blanket he had and began to sob. "Yugi…I feel empty without you…forgive me for what I've done to you…I can't live without you…" he sobbed. He got up and quietly headed towards the kitchen. He noticed the radio beside the sink and he turned it on, but turning the volume down so that he wouldn't disturb anyone. A beautiful melody began to play and Yami knew this song as the music got louder. He closed his eyes as tears began to fall.
Empty spaces fill me up with holes
Distant faces with no place left to go
As the song played, Yami thought about Yugi, his best friend, like a brother, was torn away from him.
And he blamed it all on himself.
Without you within me, I can't find no rest
Where I'm going is anybody's guess
Yami then noticed a sharp knife placed on the counter. He took it without hesitation and looked at his left wrist. 'This is for Yugi…' he thought. He placed the knife deep in his wrist.
I tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake, but my world is half asleep
Yami winced as the pain in his wrist became more intense, but he didn't care. He wanted to end his pain.
Unknown to him, Rebecca got up to get some water from the bathroom. She suddenly heard some music coming from the kitchen as she came out. She walked closer to the dark figure and turned on the light. She almost shrieked at what she saw and dropped her glass. She saw Yami cutting himself!
Yami didn't move when the light was on, but he heard a tiny squeak from the young girl, and didn't move. Rebecca broke out of her frozen state and ran to the Pharaoh. "Yami!" she cried, grabbing Yami by the wrists. She tried to take the knife away from him but Yami wouldn't let go. She didn't care if she had blood on her hands or if she didn't trust him, she had to stop him.
"Yami! Stop this!" She cried as she pulled him down to her level and slapped him hard across the face, causing him to crop the knife. Yami was wide eyed and terrified as tears continued to roll down his face. He looked up sadly at Rebecca as the song on the radio continued.
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete
Tea' was awoken by the screams and walked towards the two. "What's going on, Rebecca?" she asked. "It's the Pharaoh," Rebecca said. "He tried to kill himself."
"My God…"
Tea' noticed the blood on Yami's clothes from his wrist to his chest. Yami looked up At Tea' as she knelt down to his level. "Pharaoh…it's okay…you don't have to blame yourself for this," she said.
Voices tell me that I should carry on
But I am swimming in an ocean all alone
Yami looked up at her again, tears still rolling down his face. He looked scared, and lonely. He looked down again. "Face it. I belong in darkness," he muttered. "Yugi was my light. Without him, I…I can't go on without him. I feel useless without him."
Being, my baby, is written on your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake
Rebecca placed a hand on Yami's tense shoulder. "I know how you feel. I miss Yugi too," she said. "But if you find it in you, you can free him. You just need to believe in yourself again."
I tried, to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake, but my world is half asleep
Yami looked up again at Tea', deep into her eyes. Silence was between the two as they stared at one another.
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete
Yami looked at his hands. His bloody hands shaking in fear and torment. He took one last look at Tea' and he pulled her into an embrace, sobbing harder than he ever did before.
I don't mean to drag it on
But I can't seem to let you go
Rebecca smiled at the two embracing each other. She figured Yami needed to be comforted after all that happened to him. She stood up and left the two alone.
I don't want to make you to face this world alone
I wanna let you go
The two stayed in the embrace for a long period of time. Tea' stood up before the young Pharaoh. "Come on. I'll take you back to bed, okay?" she said. "You can sleep in my room, if you want."
Yami looked up at her and for the first time in a day, he smiled and nodded.
I tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake, but my world is half asleep
She took Yami by the hand and led him to the room where she slept in. "It isn't much, but I manage," she joked as she got an extra blanket and a pillow and set them on the floor
"Thank you, Tea'," Yami said with a small smile. He was still depressed about Yugi, but he tried to hide it.
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
Yami silently began to cry again and he sank to his knees. Tea' walked beside him. "Pharaoh," she said, kneeling to him. "I want you to have this." She held out a little stone in a shape of a heart that had a dent in the shape of a thumb. Yami looked at it. "What is it?" he whispered. "It's a worry stone," Tea' said. "You rub your fingers in this dent here and it will take care of any worries you have."
Yami took the stone and stared at it and smiled.
"Thank you," he said.
Soon they both curled up for the night. Tea' looked at Yami as he held the stone in his hands. She smiled as he began rubbing it between his hands.
"Please, let Yugi be safe and out of harm's way," he whispered to the stone.
But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete
Yami soon fell asleep with the stone in his hands. A tear rolled down his cheek and it fell on the stone. The stone began to glow in a blue-ish color and faded away.
Tea' fell asleep soon after, but never noticed the smile on Yami's face as he drifted off to his dreamland.

Note: This was based on a dream I had a while back. I cried in my sleep because I thought I saw this happen. But anyways, read and review and I may post up a new chap!
