Author's Note: I found the perfect song for this chapter, so I'm putting it in.  Here's the disclaimer:  I DO NOT own Nickelback or their song "Someday".  That's that, let's continue!  I really like this chapter; I hope that you all will too!  Like the title, this is what Yami is "dreaming" about: a conversation he had with Yugi before all of this (I never mentioned it for this reason, by the way.) ever happened.  It's more of daydreaming, but oh well.  Enjoy! ^_^  (Sorry if the italics annoy you!)

            "Yami?"

            "Hmm?"

            "Um…thanks."

            "You're welcome, but I'm not sure what you're thanking me for."

            "For just…being there."

How the hell did we wind up like this?

Why weren't we able

To see the signs that we missed

And tried to turn the tables?

            "I did promise to be there for you through it all.  I swore to be your guardian."

            "But you're more than that Yami.  You're my best friend.  My brother.  My guardian angel.  And for that, I thank you.  So…thank you."

            "Yugi…"

I wish you'd unclench your fists

And unpack your suitcase

Lately there's been too much of this,

But don't think it's too late

            "Yeah?"

            "You saved me."

            "I don't understand; what did I save you from?"

            "Myself."

           

Nothin's wrong just as long as you know that someday I will

Someday, somehow I'm gonna make it all right,

But not right now

I know you're wondering when

(You're the only one who knows that)

            The young boy was lying in a field filled with waves of green grass, staring up at the clouds with a carefree grin on his innocent face.  His light magenta eyes closed peacefully; his left hand gently stroked the Millennium Puzzle that hung around his neck.  A gentle breeze blew through his wild, multicolored hair and tickled his eyelashes softly.  He sighed and opened his eyes again.  Then he looked at something in the distance, sat up, and grinned brightly.  He waved.

And I hope that since we're here anyway,

We can end it, saying

Things we've always needed to say,

So we can end up staying

            Then, almost immediately after he waved, he was gone.  The blue sky darkened and the environment died.  Yami was standing alone, staring dry-eyed at the blackened ground, no tears lining his eyes.  He looked up suddenly, eyes blazing with determination, and began running.  He ran until he had no breath left, but still kept going.  He could hear Yugi calling out to him and could hear malevolent laughter ringing out at him from all sides.  Eventually, he couldn't hear Yugi anymore.  But he still kept going.

            "The boy is mine.  It's your own fault that you lost him.  You're a failure, Yami.  A pathetic excuse for a guardian.  You will never see him again."

            Yami stopped and glared at the dark figure standing three feet away from him, covered in a black cloak.  "Give him to me, Osiris."

            "You want the boy?"  Osiris turned slowly.  "Then come claim him."

Now the story's played out like this

Just like a paperback novel

Let's rewrite an ending that fits

Instead of a Hollywood horror

            Yami ran forward, intending to tackle Osiris to the ground, but was flung backward by an invisible force.  He could hear Yugi softly crying out his name and begging for help.

            "I'm afraid," the poor boy said.  "Everything's dark and I can't see you.  Where are you, Yami?  Why aren't you helping me?"

            "I'm right here!" Yami exclaimed.  "I'm coming!"

            Osiris laughed.  "He can no longer hear you!  Yell to him all you like!"

            Yami was standing next to Osiris now.

Nothin's wrong just as long as you know that someday I will

Someday, somehow I'm gonna make it all right,

But not right now

I know you're wondering when

(You're the only one who knows that)

            Yami locked his arms around the shocked Osiris.  He placed his head on the wicked immortal's shoulder and said very softly.  "I love you, my little Yugi."

            Suddenly, Osiris faded.  The sky cleared.  The environment reappeared, brightly colored wildflowers added to the area.  Yugi was the one in Yami's arms now, and he returned Yami's loving embrace while tears fell from both of their eyes happily.  "I love you, Yami."

"Yami…goodbye…"

Something inside of Set reawakened.  It was odd at first, kind of like a pinch.  But it quickly spread throughout his entire body.  He was remembering things he had forgotten, things that he hadn't wanted to forget in the first place.  He remembered his hatred toward Osiris, his love for Leyanna and the people of Egypt, and Yugi. 

He fell to his knees, crying like no one in the history of the world had ever cried before.  "What have I done…?  Oh Ra, what have I done?!  YUGI!"
