Yugi got up slowly and walked to the couch. His legs were shaky, so he took small steps. He was in total shock about what had just happened.

(Why did he do that? That was definitely not a dream.) His brain stopped functioning after that thought, and all he could do was sit and stare at the camera. A while later he snapped out of his daze, and walked over to the window.

He stared out at the snow covered mountain, now bathed in a pearly white glow from the moon overhead. Even though the scene was breathtaking, it couldn't lift the concern that was gnawing at his mind. Yugi hadn't heard from his dark in a while and worried, so he tried calling him.

/Yami?/ He heard nothing but silence so he tried again. /Yami? Please answer me./ He received no answer, and realized the link was closed from Yami's side.

(He probably never wants to talk to me ever again. Yami, why did you do it?) He sighed, and even though his erection was still throbbing painfully, he walked to the bedroom, fell on the bed and slowly went to sleep.

Meanwhile, Yami was in his soul room, hiding in the darkest corner. The shadows flowed around him, and surrounded him to protect him from sight.

(The shadows serve me, and the monsters of the Shadow Realm follow my orders. I was the great Pharaoh that saved the world twice, yet I can't control myself around a human.)

"He probably hates me now. I can't believe I did that, l didn't mean that to happen," he said sadly. Yami rose and walked around, the shadows following at his feet. He couldn't face his hikari after that. There's no telling what he would do. Yami wanted to stay hidden for as long as it took to make Yugi forget what had happened. He wouldn't be forgetting it for a while though, his arousal would make sure of that.

"Why did I do that? I can't believe I kissed him like that, or even that I kissed him. I'm supposed to protect him from those who would harm him and try to steal his innocence. That means I must protect him from myself now," he whispered as he sat on a small bed in the middle of a room he had walked into. He lay down and closed his eyes, the shadows covering him completely.

(0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0)

'Why is he afraid of me?' Yami asked out loud, as he followed the path Yugi had taken. He had lost sight of his aibou when the storm came. (Yugi why do you act like that? Please don't fear me.)

Yami saw Yugi's foot prints again and started to run. He was worried something had happened to him. He needed to find Yugi, because he without him, he was not complete.

Yami felt a change in the wind again, and ran faster. He had to find his dear aibou before he lost him in the coming storm. The foot prints were becoming harder to see, and the spirit had to slow down every once in a while to make sure he wouldn't loose them completely.

Soon he came to a clearing surrounded by trees. Yami looked around and finally saw Yugi. Yugi was on the ground, leaning against a tree. Yami saw his eyes were closed in pain, and when he noticed his right hand was injured, a wave of panic came over him. 'Yugi!' he cried out as he ran towards the other.

Yugi opened his eyes, and was overcome with fear. (He found me. I couldn't get away.) He was too weak to run anymore and the pain from his hand had made his entire right arm go numb. He slowly stood up, but collapsed before he was completely standing.

Yami ran up to him and fell to his knees before him. His gaze traveled to Yugi's hand, which was still bleeding. He slowly reached for it, but before he could touch it, Yugi pulled it back. Yami looked at Yugi, who was facing the ground, his eyes covered by his bangs. 'Yugi...'

'Leave me alone. Just please go away,' the younger teen whispered. Yami frowned and reached out to touch Yugi's face. Yugi gasped when the spirit caressed his cheek. He lifted his gaze slowly and looked into Yami's eyes.

'Don't be afraid Little One. I will not hurt you,' Yami told him, in a comforting voice, his eyes soft and loving. Yugi tensed up as Yami reached for his hand again. This time he let the spirit take hold of it. He cringed as pain shot up his arm, but did not pull away. Yami was trying to be as gentile as he could. He carefully wiped off the blood, pausing when Yugi's hand twitched. 'Calm down. I won't hurt you. I promise," he whispered, softly rubbing Yugi's hand. He pulled out some cloth from his pocket and wrapped it around the hand. When he finished he held it for a while before letting it go.

During the whole thing, Yugi relaxed completely, and didn't flinch. He slowly fell into a trance, and looked up at Yami. Yami noticed the dullness in his eyes, and became worried again. Suddenly the wind picked up again, and blew the snow everywhere. 'Yugi!' the spirit cried out, reaching towards his aibou. Before he could touch Yugi's face though, the wind surrounded them both and Yugi disappeared into the wind. When it was over, Yami looked around for his light, but couldn't find him anywhere.

(0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0)

Yami fell out of the bed, reaching for his aibou. He got up and looked around. When he saw no threat, he sat back down on the bed. He placed a hand on his forehead, trying to dull the throbbing pain he got from falling off the bed. He sighed and got up and walked around.

(It was another one of those dreams. Why do I keep having them? Everything is going wrong!) In blind fury, he punched the wall of the room, causing his knuckles to bleed. The shadows quickly covered his hand, trying to keep anything out. Yami watched as they latched on, and he grew angry again. He didn't know why, but he shook them off, and watched as they turned into wisps of smoke and disappeared.

He left the room, and walked around aimlessly. Unlike others, only he and Yugi knew the correct path of his soul room. So no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get lost down the corridors, or halls, or walk through a door.

He suddenly felt a knock on the door of his soul room. He didn't want to open it, so he stood still, hoping that Yugi would go away. He couldn't face his hikari, not after what he did.

"Yami please let me in," Yugi pleaded, standing outside the door. "Yami please."

(I'm sorry aibou. I must protect you from myself.)

"Yami please, I want to talk to you," Yugi whispered. "Yami I don't care what happened! I don't mind, I swear! I'm not angry! Please just talk to me!"

Yami said nothing, but leaned against the door, a single tear running down his cheek. (I can't. I'm sorry, but I can't.)

Yugi placed his forehead on the door, feeling all alone. "I can't loose you Yami. I need you to be with me always. Don't leave me," he whispered before going back to his own soul room.

Yami slid to the floor and stared off into the darkness. He watched the shadows slowly make their way towards him. He stood up and let them engulf him completely. He slowly faded away, until he disappeared.

Yami projected his image next to Yugi's bed. He gazed lovingly upon his precious aibou wishing he could hold him in his arms forever. The spirit tenderly moved Yugi's bangs out of his face, and gently caressed Yugi's cheek. He smiled when his aibou nuzzled against his hand.

Yami knew he had to be careful around Yugi. He didn't know what he would do the next time he lost control like that. The Pharaoh had promised to protect his innocent hikari, and he wouldn't fail, even if it meant giving up on his Love.

(My Love,) Yami chuckled at that thought. (Yes, he is my Love. I just wish I could tell him that.) Yami sighed and came out of the puzzle. He sat on the bed, and passed his lips lightly over Yugi's, causing the teen to tremble in excitement. Yami hugged Yugi tight, and fell asleep.

Yugi opened his eyes and looked up. He smiled when he saw the peaceful expression on Yami's face. He leaned up and kissed him lightly on the lips. He then cuddled into Yami's chest and fell back asleep.
