"Yugi? Yugi, what happened?" an echo went on forever. There was nothing around, just vast darkness, but a small glimmer of light pierced through the black vortex. The speckle floated farther and farther into the nothingness.
"Yugi? Yugi, are you okay?" the voice came again, as the echo hovered in the silence. The small light turned into a massive ray, about three times its original size. The heavenly ray glowed as it scanned its surrounding area, as if it were looking for something it had lost.
"Where are you, Yugi?" The voice called once again, but with more projection than the other calls. Still, the ray searched on, when it came to a sudden stop. It's bright, radiant glow focused above a face of a young teen boy, his expression was nothing. His eyes were cemented shut and his mouth showed neither happiness nor sad.
"Ah! There you are!" The voice sounded relived, it had found its lost possession. Then the ray grew bigger until it made the boy's whole body become light with its brightness. As the light from the heavens glared down at the small teen, his face suddenly started to change. Wrinkles appear around his firm eyebrows and tiny forehead.
"Is the light too much for you, little one?" The voice was as soft as a whisper as it spoke. "I'm sorry, but I can not send this blessing bright away. I may not find you again." The voice was sweet and hinted it deeply cared.
To this, the boy opened his chocolate brown eyes, though his expression didn't change. His eyes had no sign of life or mental awareness, like an empty body. His eyes just focused on the ray that engulfed his body, he started to open his mouth, from a line to an expression of agony and distress, though no sound escaped the tiny hole in his face.
"I know, I know," the voice sounded as if it could feel the boy's anguish, "but you are too special to hover here in this place of nothingness. You can break these chains of darkness, if you desire it. Just think of your own world, of your loved one, the one closest to you and your heart, Yugi." The creamy voice softens a bit, back down to a whisper. The teen responded to this with streams of warm tears, still his eyes hinted no existence of life.
"It's still painful, I see." The voice sighed, as if it were a disappointed parent. "I think I know why," The voiced paused. "Here, take this. It may help you coop with your memory." The beam sent down from the blackness, a small stuffed lion. It hovered above the lifeless teen's body, and then carefully landed on his chest. The teen showed no reply, the only motion came from his, still, running tears. Then, his tiny fingers twitched at his side, his arms moved up toward the toy. He gently grabbed onto the stuffed animal, as if it were a delicate glass rose. Its fur was a soft as velvet and its main was as warm as cotton. He ran his fingers carefully down its main. Rivers of tears still flowed through his chocolate eyes, they seemed like they would never stop.
"I know that he hurt you, and it's hard to think of him, but you have to. You can still admire him, even from afar." The voice tried to calm Yugi down, but it was no use. In that instant, the boy let out a huge, loud holler of pain, his heart couldn't take it anymore. The light winced at the dreadful cry, and then he suddenly stopped, and brought the lion up to his face and gently pressed his smooth lips onto its velvet fur.
"I see," the voice paused, "so you still love him."
To this, the teen responded with a nod, still kissing the stuffed animal. He began to replay the day in his mind…
