Yuugi stared at the pharaoh in shock. The pharaoh turned to leave when Yuugi ran in front of him and stared at him sadly. Crimson eyes stared into amethyst. Giving into Yuugi's look, the pharaoh sighed and lead Yuugi back to his room. He set Yuugi to sit down and stood in front of him.

"You want to know about the reason I have no name, am I right?" The pharaoh asked.

"Yeah." Yuugi nodded a little.

"I'll tell you." The pharaoh stared out the window. "It all happened when I was a child. My mother named me and everyone called me by my name. My father never liked that name and never called me it. My father wanted me to learn to control shadow magic and be able to summon monsters. I always protested and the one thing he threatened to take away…was my name…"

"He threatened to take away your name?!" Yuugi gasped in shock.

"He did. That was the only thing he could take away, apparently. I practiced shadow magic for so long each day. My first monster that I could summon was a Kuriboh. My father wasn't pleased at all…he yelled at me and told me to try to summon a stronger monster. I tried as hard as I could, but I couldn't."

"What happened next?" Yuugi asked gently.

"He kept threatening me. I tried as hard as I could and more but I was to tired and I couldn't concentrate. My father told me that if I couldn't summon anything besides a Kuriboh the next morning, I would lose my name." The pharaoh sighed. "He was a twisted man, but I still loved him and wanted to please him."

"I see."

"I stayed up all night with that Kuriboh by my side. I remember sitting on the ground after trying nonstop for an hour or so…I hugged Kuriboh tight and cried…he snuggled against me and I tried to smile, but I was so tired that I couldn't even smile. I remember feeling that Kuriboh rub against my cheeks and trying to cheer me up, but it was all in vain…"

'All in vain?' Yuugi thought to himself, not wanting to interrupt.

"I fell asleep and my father woke me up. Kuriboh snuggled against me before I got up and stared at my father. That look…that look always scared me…that look of anger and disappointment that was on his face even before I tried was staring at me. I used all my energy, but I couldn't summon anything. I can't tell you how much pain I felt as I tried to summon something. My father kept yelling at me, breaking my concentration and scaring me."

Yuugi saw the pharaoh's eyes close slowly. Yuugi felt bad for him and felt worse about wanting to know what happened.

"I couldn't take anymore pain and I fell on the floor. I felt the sweat and tears running down my face as my father yelled at me." The pharaoh gently touched his arm. Yuugi stared with a sad look on his face. The pharaoh's eyes opened and turned to Yuugi.

"My mother scolded my father when she found out about that. She continued to call me by name and my father got angry with her. I…remember the day she died…my father and her were arguing outside about my name…I went outside and tried to stop them…but my father got a dagger and put it to my neck, threatening to kill me so it wouldn't matter…"

Yuugi's eyes grew wide as he heard the word "dagger". The pharaoh sat beside Yuugi and felt arms wrap around his waist and sweet amethyst eyes looking at him.

"My father took the dagger and pressed it closer to my neck. I felt blood falling down my neck as I began to scream in fear. My mother tried to pull me away from my father, but my father began to use his shadow magic to keep her away. That's when Kuriboh came to my aid. He forced my father back and made sure I was safe. My father, driven by rage and disgust, started attacking everything in site."

"Pharaoh…"

"He was specifically aiming for me and Kuriboh. I hugged Kuriboh tightly, and screamed loudly. I was to scared to move and my father's attack was to great to escape from anyway. I figured I was going to die, but my mother took the attack instead of me. I watched her die! I watched my father's sanity die at that moment! He used some more strength to use a curse to make everyone forget my name. No one remembers my name, so I have no name. The closest thing I had to a name was darkness. My father always called me after my mother was murdered."

"Darkness?"

"He hated me, Yuugi. He thought I was created from darkness and refused to stop thinking that." Yuugi heard his other sigh.

"Yami…"

"Yami?"

"In Japanese, yami means darkness."

"I guess that's my name."

"Don't think that." Yuugi said, shaking his head. "You had a name and I'm sure darkness wasn't it."

"I would rather be called Yami than pharaoh."

"Alright, Yami." Yuugi smiled a little. Yami looked at Yuugi sadly, as if he hadn't explained everything. Yuugi tilted his head a little and stared in confusion.

"Yuugi…you can't tell anyone I told you about my past…I'd rather not let everyone think about it…"

"I won't." Yuugi smiled. Yami nodded and didn't move from his position, which was in Yuugi's arms. Yuugi stared at Yami and gave him a gentle smile. Yami sighed as he stared at Yuugi for a brief moment, before looking at the ground.

"Yami?"

"Huh?" Yami looked at Yuugi. "I'm sorry. I was just thinking."

"Oh."

"I'll be back." Yami got up, gave a sad smile and left.

Seto and Jounouchi were listening in and moved away when Yami started to leave. Once Yami was gone, they snuck into Seto's room and sighed.

"That must've been rough…" Jounouchi said.

"Yeah. He never was the same after that."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Poor guy."

Seto wrapped his arms around Jounouchi, smiling at him a little. Jounouchi stared at Seto, blushing a little. Seto messed with Jounouchi's hair a little and laughed. Jounouchi laughed as Seto messed with his hair.

Ryou was walking by and heard them laughing and he smiled. He heard another set of footsteps and looked around, but he found no one. Ryou reached his room when he saw someone standing in there. Ryou gasped as he recognized the figure.

"B-Bakura!" Ryou gasped. Bakura stepped beside Ryou and wrapped an arm around Ryou's shoulders, smirking. Ryou blushed as he watched Bakura.

"You didn't forget me, eh?" Bakura laughed. "You look even cuter than I remember…and I just saw you not to long ago…"

"Oh…" Ryou blushed even more.

"Embarrassed? You're so sweet." Bakura gently purred into Ryou's ear. Ryou stared at Bakura and gave a smile. Bakura gently ran his hand through Ryou's hair, grinning a little. They both jumped when they heard a banging noise. Bakura growled angrily.

"They always ruin our time together!" Bakura sighed and looked at Ryou. "I'll be back." Bakura then made his way out of the palace and into the night. Ryou sighed dreamily after Bakura left.

Yami was banging his fist against one of the pillars. His head was killing him and the memories of his past kept haunting him. He heard someone walking close and he sighed. He began to walk back to his room and when he got there, he found Yuugi was already asleep. Yami gently pulled the sheets around Yuugi before he laid down and fell asleep beside Yuugi.
