Thanks to all who reviewed this story's first chapter! And the girl's name is..Elle! (Seeing as how that was the only name mentioned...-shifty eyes-) But, yeah, due to an amazing demand, I shall continue.

And...honestly...this is the only story of mine that has had so many reviews the first time it was published. Thanks for making this a major milestone for me!

Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh. But I did go out and buy myself the same pillow used in the story. So I own that. MM-nyeh.

(--)

Birds chirped. Sunshine.

...Half dead groaning came from Elle. She never was a morning person. She started to open her eyes slowly. What she saw next stopped her pulse.

A cyclops was staring at her, right in her face. And it had tri-colored hair, and one big, crimson eye.

Hello, it said cheerfully.

She got up. It was just the pillow. And now he was no longer a cyclops. He had fallen on her face in the middle of the night, resulting in the "cyclops" she had seen. Her eyes had focused on his two eyes and tried to make them one.

'Hello to you too...' she grumbled, still half dead.

Sleep well?

'Sorta...I had a weird dream though...you morphed.'

I...what...?

'You were the real thing. The real Yami. One minute you were the pillow, next, it was the real you.'

He didn't answer her.

She got out of her bed and tucked him under her arm again. She did not swing her arms this time around, to Yami's relief. She opened a door and started going down stairs.

Where are we going?

'To see my younger brother. He's playing Zelda. And he probably wants my help.'

Oh. Okay.

She sat in the recliner, put a blanket on over her body, and placed the pillow in her lap. Much like the car ride, he snuggled his way into her arms until he was comfortable.

'I wish you wouldn't do that...'

Why?

'It feels weird.'

How so?

'Can't really say. Just don't do it.'

He wiggled a little in that way again, just to tick her off.

'Stop.'

He wiggled again.

'Seriously, stop that.'

Seriously, he wiggled a third time.

"STOP," she suddenly screamed, forgetting to use the little mind link the two shared.

"Stop what," her brother asked, confused.

"...Nothing...," she said, calming herself down.

Heh-heh...

'SHUT. UP.'

...Sorry... He purred again. She gently petted him, forgiving him. His purrs became stronger as she stroked.

"May I hold him for a while, Elle," her brother asked.

"Um...sure..." 'Please behave...'

Yes, ma'am.

She handed the pillow over to her brother's eagerly awaiting arms. He took him gently, carefully holding him. He tried petting Yami too, but to Yami, the petting didn't feel the same. It didn't have that same gentle touch.

"He's really soft," her brother commented. He started squishing Yami a little.

Ugghhhh...

"Squishy too,"he then giggled. He entertained himself by squishing the poor, defenseless pillow's face, making him look cross-eyed. He did it again, and make him look like a "butt-head". Another squish gave him a flat face.

All the while, Elle could hear the pillow try to call to her for help. She wished she could help, but she didn't know how.

"He's funny...I like him!"

Eh, heh...he's funny...nyeh..., the now disgruntled and misshapen pillow grumbled.

The young boy handed the deformed pillow back to Elle, who gently pressed him back into his original shape.

Thank...you...he muttered.

They continued playing Zelda until the boy looked up at the large clock on the wall. 11:00. His favorite show was on.

"Hee...Yami's gonna watch himself," the 9-year old giggled as he changed the channel to 9.

I'm gonna watch myself? What does that mean?

'You'll see...'

Hey, it's me! I look pretty good on TV!

'That's because you aren't a pillow...'

Do I always stand like that? I'm lucky I don't fall over...my legs are so far apart...

'Well...you do...'

Hey! Close your legs, stupid!

Elle tried not to giggle herself. This fellow was dissing himself.

Oh, now what? What's that shiny green thing?

'The Seal of Orichalcos.'

Why am I playing it?

'Because you thought it was the best way out.'

STUPID! What do you think you're doing! Call it back! Call it back!

'Would you cut it out? Some of use are actually trying to watch the show here...'

A low growl came from Yami. He was obviously not happy with the idea his TV self just came up with.

He was even more ticked off when he ended up losing the duel, and Yugi sacrificed himself to save Yami.

You big, fat retard...now look at what you've done...you've lost Yugi! How could you?

How could you...?

"Joseph, shut the TV off. We have to get ready to go soon."

The TV clicked off, and Yami was still yelling at it befiore he realized that it was off.

Hey, I wasn't done yet!

'You are now. We have to leave soon for the day, so let's go back upstairs.'

She carried him back upstairs to her room and dropped him back on her bed while she got clothes out and started getting dressed. But she forgot one little thing...

Well...this is what I missed out on last night...

'Huh?'

He then started singing: You've got a lovely bunch of coconuts, diddley dee-dee, there they are a-hanging in a row; One big one, one small one, both as big as your head!

It took her a second to realize: She forgot to turn him around like she did last night. Now he had a front-row view of her front.

'You, big, ugly Miroku(1).'

She gave him a small slap, then turned him around.

Drat. Fun's over.

'Too bad. No need for that behavior.'

But they were...

'I don't want to hear what they were.'

...Lopsided.

'I THOUGHT I SAID.'

Nyeh nyeh!

She growled, but thankfully, she was done dressing. She turned him around again and looked him straight in the face. Crimson eyes looked back at green ones.

'Listen. I'm going to be gone for the day. I want you to behave yourself while I'm gone. If something ever happened to you, I on't know what I'd do. You're my sort of best friend.'

What do you mean by "sort of" best friend?

'I mean, well..you're not human...but you're my little buddy.' She petted him again.

What would you do if I was human?

'Then you would be my best friend. But I like you just as you are now.'

Just curious...how long are you going to be gone?

'5 hours.'

That's such a long time...!

'I know. But see if you can keep yourself occupied until I get home. Here, read this.' She dropped an issue of Shonen Jump onto her bed. And there he was again, right on the front page. Giving whoever happened to be looking at him a thumbs-up.

Hey, it's me again!

'Yeah, you're in there. It's a fun read. Okay, I have to leave now. Bye.'

He moved to the edge of the bed and nuzzled her hand farewell. Have fun, okay?

'I will.'

She left, leaving the door wide open. Yami watched from the corner of her bed as she left. He was going to miss her.

He turned around and looked around her room. A bookcase was in the corner, filled with manga and Shonen Jumps. On top of it was a CD player.

Gee...where to start, he wondered.

(1)Miroku- I had Elle call yami Miroku just for the fun of it. For those of you who have never heard of the name, Miroku is a perverted monk from the anime Inuyasha. He usually grabs women's rear ends, but...due to a lack of hands that can grab stuff, Yami is stuck doing his little song.

Any ideas for what else he cam do while Jenna's gone? Possible ideas include reading I"s (pronounced I-zu), talking with Elle's other stuffed animals, singing to himself...shoot 'em at me.

R&R! Thank you!
