The next person to be interviewed is the spirit who duels within the Millennium Puzzle, Yami.
Yami has taken the place of Yugi.
Yami tells them, quite plainly, "I was watching that. You know, I don't like coming out unless there's a duel."
"Well, you know that you were out before and there wasn't a duel." Amanra points out.
"Yugi wasn't here either. That was when his soul was taken away…" Yami informs her.
Melody stops the pointing out contest, "Speaking of that, what was that like? I mean, all you can remember is sharing a body with Yugi and poof! He was gone."
Yami looks at her, "Were my tears not enough?"
"We know you were upset and felt empty, but it wasn't your fault. The Stone corrupted you. But, it must have felt strange being out all the time and being alone." Amanra says.
"Yes, it was strange having that feeling of loneliness. It would have been fun, maybe, if his soul hadn't been taken in the process." Yami says, more to himself then Amanra and Melody.
"So, we know at first you were a, excuse me for being blunt, a maniac. You know how many people were sent to the hospital during that." Melody says accusingly.
Yami says, with no emotion, "Well, they were nuisances to society or bullies, so there was no loss."
"Be glad they couldn't identify you by your hair. You have a pretty unusual hairstyle. There must only be two people that can have that hairstyle." Amanra comments.
"Is there something wrong with it?" Yami says, sort of angrily.
"There's nothing wrong with it. It's just that, it's very… interesting." Melody says quickly.
"Mmm-hmmm…" Yami trails off.
Melody thinks a topic change needs to be in place. "So, when you come out, do you get any taller?" She asks.
Yami, surprised about the topic change since so many people ask him about that, answers, "In the beginning, no, there was no size difference. Lately, I have been getting a little taller when I come out."
Amanra cuts in. "We forgot to ask about when Kaiba was trying to kill Yugi!"
"Oh, shit!" Melody exclaims. " We forgot all about that!"
Yami is silent for a moment, then answers, "Ummmm… he says that it was not fun. Especially when the blocks in the one room almost crushed Tristan."
Melody replies with a, "Well, hopefully it wouldn't be fun." She thinks for a moment, then asks, "Say, can you tell us who he likes?"
Yami talks to Yugi for a minute. "He says he's not going to give out that information."
Amanra doesn't like this answer. "Damn."
"What were you going to do, tease him about it later?" Melody asks her.
"Maybeee…" Amanra replies.
"And that is why he won't tell you." Yami tells Amanra.
"Oh, well. What were you thinking when you dueled my brother at Duelist Kingdom? You almost killed him!" Melody exclaims.
Yami is surprised about the abrupt change in subjects again. "Ummmm… I guess I was thinking more about Yugi's grandpa at the time. Besides, it's not like we knew about him being your brother at the time."
He points out.
Amanra looks at Melody and asks, "How long did you keep it a secret from everyone?"
Melody thinks for a moment. "A little while, actually."
Yami answers for her, "We only found out when she saw him lose against Pegasus and lose his soul."
Melody is lost for words for a moment. "Ummm… This isn't about me! It's about you!" Yami sighs.
Bakura from behind the camera says, "I think this is more interesting, actually."
Amanra tells him, "She'll get her turn later. Yami, how did you feel when Yugi suggested the brain switch in your duel with Pegasus?" She asked.
"I was surprised by how right he was about the whole thing. He was very perceptive of the situation." Yami replies.
"Nice. I know you where upset when his soul was out of commission for a little while, so I won't ask about that. How did you feel when we were up against our evil stepfather in the virtual realm?" Melody asks, skipping almost the entire Battle City Tournament.
Yami replies, "That was a hard time, too. The time when I was dueling Noa for Kaiba, that was stressful."
"I know it was stressful for more than just you." Amanra says.
"Huh?" Yami asks, surprised.
Amanra says, "Just look at Melody. Her brothers…"
Melody cuts her off. "Ahem! I am here you know. We're supposed to be interviewing Yami, but the conversation keeps coming back to me!"
Yami sighs. "Fine…"
Melody: How did you feel when you were dueling Marik in the Shadow Realm and the rules he added.
"I was glad the connection between Yugi and I was kept. I was also thankful for the card Kaiba gave me." Yami said after a moment of thought.
Melody thinks for a moment. "I guess I don't have anymore questions. You, Amanra, Bakura?"
"I have one. Were you surprised to find out that Yugi didn't have any idea about you?" Bakura asks.
Melody looks over at him. "Good one, Bakura!"
"I was surprised. I thought Yugi knew like I did. The first time our consciousness merged was when we dueled Kaiba at Duelist Kingdom. He didn't become aware of another person until we dueled Bakura in the Shadow Realm and our souls were separated." Yami answered.
Amanra starts, "I think-"
Melody interrupts her with another question. "Was it the time with the role playing game or when the others were put into cards?"
Yami answers simply, "The role playing game."
Melody looks at Amanra and says, "Now, Amanra, it's a wrap. Yami, do you have anything to say to your fans?"
Yami says with out a moment of thinking, "Believe in the heart of the cards."
Amanra hits her head, "How did I know that was coming."
Yami looks a Melody and says, "Yugi wants to say something to his fans."
Melody replies with an "Ok."
There's a bright gold light and Yugi replaced Yami.
Melody looks closely at Yugi. "Yami does seem taller."
Yugi takes it offensively. "Hey! Can I say it now?"
"Sure." Amanra says.
Yugi thinks for a moment. "If Yami will be an example, don't dwell too much on the past. It will do no good to second doubt yourself."
Bakura says, "Nice. Well, that's a wrap. We'll see you later."
Next to be interviewed will be my character, Melody. If anyone has any ideas, or any suggestions for changes to these first two chapters, I will take them. Thank you!
