Bow: Ah, yes, Chapter Ei-
Dragon: WILL YOU STOP SOUNDING SO GODDAMNED SURPRISED WITH EVERY NEW CHAPTER?! *pants, eyes narrowed*
Bow: *blinks* Okay... -__________-()...
Dragon: Just get to typing up the chapter that you have had written for the past week! It's been sitting in your backpack the entire time and now you need to type it up!
Bow: u.u... Yes MOTHER!!!
Dragon: Just type ...
Bow: Thanks to all of my reviewers, but I'm afraid I can no longer respond to all of you individually, as I have to update at school due to parental controls... *gares at parents* ~*~*~
Yami's eyes opened slowly as he lowered his head, looking down in the empty place in his arms that had once held a small, warm body. He sat up sleeply, shivering, as he ran his fingers through his tri-colored hair, ignoring the light blue, star-covered pajamas he wore.
"Aibou?" He muttered groggily, glancing around the bare room.
A red-numbered digital clock told him that it was about 3:16AM, much too early for Yugi to be up for school. His sleepy mind forgot that he could call out mentally to his hikari, and he stood up to go find the missing angel.
He soon found him in the kitchen, sipping a glass of water slowly. Yami smiled, coming up behind Yugi silently. He wrapped his arms around Yugi's small waist.
Yugi jumped, and then recognised the loving touch as Yami's. "I'm sorry, Yami-san. I woke you when I got up, didn't I?"
Yami shook his head. "No, it wasn't you. And you don't have to as 'san' to my name any longer, Aibou. Just call me Yami."
Yugi nodded, leaning back against the older boy after setting his glass in the sink. "Alright, Yami."
Yami smiled, resting his chin on his hikari's shoulder. His gaze was captured by a golden glint, and he brought his hands around the Puzzle.
"If I hadn't been placed in this item, we would have never met. So long have I scorned this Puzzle, but now... I owe it so much. How did you get it, Yugi? I never had the chance to ask you before now," Yami murmured, crimson eyes fixed on the inverted pyramid.
"My Grandpa found it in an archeological dig down in Egypt. He gave it to me to solve," Yugi mumbled.
"Grandpa? You have mentioned him before, but you haven't spoken of him since then," Yami thought aloud.
"My Grandpa... died... in a dig last year. A chamber collapsed on the group he was in," Yugi whispered, tears gathering in his gentle, violet eyes.
"Ainou, I shouldn't have brought him up. I'm sorry," Yami murmured softly, taking his hands from the Puzzle to draw Yugi closer.
The hikari sniffed, dashing the tears from his eyes. "No, it's okay, Yami. It's not your fault. I just miss him, that's all. It was better before, for me and my Mom. I miss that too. My Dad never hurt us then. After Grandpa died, Dad moved us here, to Domino. That was when he started to hurt us..."
Yami turned Yugi around, crouching down to his knees so that he looked up at the small boy. "Yugi, when I can make sure that you and your mother can live without depending on Byono, he will pay for what he has done. I swear it to you, Aibou."
Yugi nodded as Yami wiped his lover's tears away. "Thank you, Yami," he whispered, throwing his arms about the older boy's neck.
Yami kissed the top of Yugi's head as he scooped him up into his arms. "Come on, Yugi. You need to get back to sleep. There are still a few more hours before school," Yami instructed.
Yugi nodded, resting his cheek on Yami's shoulder.
The older boy smiled down at his hikari as he closed his eyes, letting him carry him back to bed. Yami layed him down gently on the mattress, leaning back on his feet after he deposited the tiny angel.
"Don't go..."
"I will stay as long as you want me to, Aibou," Yami whispered soothingly, brushing Yugi's golden bangs from his eyes.
Yami stepped over Yugi carefully, sitting down with his back against the wall. The hikari turned, looking over to the older boy.
"Aren't you going to sleep too?"
"No. I'll just watch over you. I'm not tired," Yami told him with a shake of his head.
Yugi sat up quickly, placing a chaste kiss on Yami's lips before laying back down and closing his eyes, a pale blush crossing the bridge of his nose as he tried his hardest not to smile. Yami, though, did smile, bringing his fingers to his lips as he watched Yugi. How had the boy done it? He had been a pharoah, devoid of any kind of love -well, that he could remember- and now he was fully devoted to this angelic soul.
"So, aren't you glad you listened to me, Pharoah?"
Yami needn't look up to identify the owner of that voice any longer...
"Yes, Hyoui. Here to gloat?" Yami mumbled.
Hyoui smirked, blue eyes sparkling with content. He wore his traditional garb, purple armor glinting in the streetlights outside Yugi's bedroom window. He took a firm grip on his green staff, crossing his arms over his chest as he leaned back against the bedroom wall opposite of Yami.
"Duel Monsters don't gloat. Well, at least I don't gloat, I'm not sure about the others," Hyoui told him, shrugging.
"Ohter monsters... That reminds me. Why don't I see any other monsters, Hyoui?" Yami asked, glancing over at Yugi's sleeping form.
"Because they remain in the Shadow Realm," Hyoui told him blankly. "Why, getting tired of me, Pharaoh?"
"I understand that they stay in the Shadow Realm, but why do only you visit your master?" He paused. "And pester me?"
Hyoui chuckled. "How do you think a normal person would react to a large, elven warrior carrying a huge sword walking down the street? Or perhaps Gaia could race his horse in the local mall? Not many mosters can change their attire like I can."
"If you can blend in so well, why couldn't you help Yugi?"
Hyoui's smile faded quickly. "If I engaged in any sort of battle whatsoever, I would revert back to my original state, thereby giving Yugi- sama away in an instant. Ao, he would not allow me to help him, out of fear that he would lose me and the others."
"I'm-"
"Apologise and I'll hit you over the head with this," Hyoui warned, gesturing with his large staff. "Yugi-sama has you to protect him now, that's all that matters."
Yami smiled weakly at the thought of being hit with the Dark Magician's staff. "Alright, no apologies."
Hyoui gave no answer, as his brow was furrowed as he stared at something on the floor. Yami followed the magician's gaze, crimson eyes falling upon Yugi's dueling deck.
"Hyoui?"
No answer.
Then Hyoui smiled, nodding. "Of course you can come out, Kidea. The Pharaoh and Yugi-sama are the only ones here."
"The Pharaoh?"
Yami's eyes widened as a tall woman appeared by Hyoui's side, flaxen hair spilling over her bare, blue shoulders and along her blue robes.
"Mystical Elf," Yami murmured.
~*~*~
Dragon: Oh, yea, like they couldn't figure that out themselves!
Bow: *hits her* Lemme alone! I just put that in there to make sure they got it!
Dragon: *rubs her head with a claw* Owwie...
~*~*~
Kidea nodded once, smiling warmly. "And you must be Yami. Hyouio has told me much about you."
"Though he has said nothing about you," Yami responded, throwing Hyoui a fierce glare.
She laughed musically, reting a hand on Hyoui's shoulder. "He does not speak of the others, or even I, very often. He does it to protect us." Kidea paused. "It is good that you have come. Yugi-sama has long awaited someone like you."
The Mystical Elf crouched down to her knees, placing a hand on Yugi's forehead. "Her loves you very much. He relies on you entirely now. So much, I fear, that he may suffer immensely if anything should happen to you."
"Then I will make sure that nothing happenes. I will not let him suffer so," Yami assured her.
"Good."
"Kidea?"
"Yugi-sama! I'm sorry, did I wake you?" Kidea asked him hurriedly, removing her hand from his brow.
Yugi sat up, looking from Kidea, to Hyoui, to Yami. He shook his head. "No..."
"I guess there is no keeping you asleep, Yugi," Yami chuckled.
Yugi smiled, a blush coloring his cheeks. "Well, with the three of you talking..."
"So, Yugi-sama, you haved not called upon me as of late," hyoui murmured, arms still crossed over his chest.
"I- Hyoui, I'm..."
Hyoui chuckled. "Do not fret, Yugi-sama. I am not offended. It has given me more time to spend with Kidea... and the others."
A faint blush lit Kidea's soft blue cheeks as Hyoui placed an arm about her shoulders. "Oh yes, and the others send their greetings, Yugi-sama."
Yugi smiled at his two spellcasters, nodding.
"And you said the Pharaoh was selfish and irritating!" Kidea snorted, poking Hyoui in the chest as they dissapeared back into their cards.
Yami's eyes narrowed. "Irritating?!"
The Pharaoh stood, stomping over to Yugi's deck and pulling out the Dark Magician. "Come say that to my face and we'll see who's irritating!"
Hyoui's green staff appeared over Yami's head, thumping his skull before dissapearing.
"Still you," came Hyoui's voice, along with an echoing chuckle.
Yami clenched his fists, eyes narrowing in rage as his hamds began to radiate with a dark purple light.
"Ack! Uh, Yami?! Hands. Purple. Glowing. Bad!" Yugi stammered, jumping out of bed.
Yami blinked, dark energy vanishing as he turned to Yugi. "What? Oh, sorry..."
"Just don't hurt Hyoui, okay?" Yugi breathed.
"I won't, no matter how tempting it sounds," Yami replied, rubbing his head with a growl.
"And I have to get ready for school! It's almost six!" Yugi blurted out, almost tackling his stack of folded clothing.
~*~*~
"Nice hair, Bakura," Yami chuckled, crimson eyes sparkling.
"Very funny, Pharaoh," Bakura sulked, running his fingers through his butchered hair.
"I think it looks nice!" Ryou puted defensively.
"Tomb robbers do not look nice!" Bakura exclaimed.
"You guys are going to get found out if you keep yelling like that," Seto warned, taking a sip of soda.
The gang sat at their traditional lunch table outside, Yami, Yugi, Seto, and Jou on one side, Bakura, Ryou, Anzu, and Honda on the other. Bakura grumbled unhappily, munching on a saltine cracker.
"So, who's gotten invites so far?" Seto asked.
Yugi and Ryou raised their hands.
"Only you two? The rest of you will have to sneak aboard then," Seto mumbled, taking another drink of his soda. "Other then Yami and Bakura of course."
"So, are you guys going to duel now? You never did yesterday," Honda interjected, looking over at Yugi and Ryou.
"No, we'll duel, "Bakura told him, meeting Yami's gaze. "You owe me a rematch, Yami."
"I beat you, no question, Bakura. No rematch is needed. And that duel was back in Egypt, can you honestly hold a grudge that long?" Yami snorted.
"Yes. So, if you won't give me a rematch, then I challenge you to a new duel, Pharaoh."
"And I except, tomb robber."
Both Yami and Bakura dissapeared back into their items, opening their soul rooms and closing those of their hikaris'. This gave them control of their bodies, which, unlike their own, were linked directly to their world, not the Millenium Items. It would also be helpful for when they were in the tournament, as they couldn't be seen seperate from their hikaris. They then opened their eyes, appearences then changing to their own.
"Hey! What the heck happened to Yug' and Ryou?!" Jou blurted out.
"Nothing. We are just using their bodies for now. The four of us are going to duel together," Bakura explained, growling.
"What? Why?" Jou demanded. Ah... always the inquisitive one...
"Because, Jounouchi, Bakura and I aren't accustomed to their decks. Besides, we need to practice for Duelist Kingdom," Yami told him cooly.
"No more questions! Now we duel Pharaoh!" Bakura snapped.
~*~*~
Bow: If any of you think that I am going to write out an entire duel, you're nuts!
Dragon: Ya! And it would be really boring!
Bow: -.-()... Who's acting like Wakka now?
Dragon: u.u...
~*~*~
Bakura slammed his fist down against the table, the cards set out shifting slightly from the sudden jolt. "This is an outrage! You're cheating!"
"I don't cheat," Yami responded cooly.
Yami had out his Dark Magician and Curse of Dragon, both out in attack mode. He had out no magic or trap cards. Bakura had out one face down monster in defence mode, along with one magic or trap.
"It's your move," Bakura growled, looking away from the cards in his hand with disgust.
Yami drew his card, and his eyes widened in surprise. He played the monster in attack mode. Summoned Skull. Bakura let out a hiss of anger.
"I attack your face down monster with my Summoned Skull."
Bakura smirked in triumph, flipping over the monster and slapping it down on the table.
"Man-Eater Bug! And he destroys your Skull!"
Yami growled in frustration, putting his skull in the graveyard.
Yami was at 600, Bakura at 300.
"It's your move, Bakura."
Bakura drew his next card and let out a cry of triumph. He turned the new card in his hand to reveal it to Yami.
"Change of Heart! And guess which monster will be mine for this turn, Pharaoh!"
"No!"
"Yes! Your Dark Magician!"
Bakura snatched up the card and discarded his Change of Heart.
"And I attack your Curse of Dragon!"
Yami's Life Points lowered to 100 as he discarded his dragon, turn switching to him as he took back his magician. He drew a new card, eyes lighting up as he showed it to Bakura.
"No! Stop Defence!"
"So, your Bug goes into attack mode, leaving me free to destroy it and your Life Points! So, I attack with my Dark Magician!"
Bakura slammed the cards in his hand down onto the table, retreating back into his soul room angrily. Ryou blinked, looking over at the two seperate forms of Yami and Yugi.
"Great game guys!" Ryou told them, wincing as Bakura proceeded to yell at him mentally.
"You and Bakura fought well," Yami commended, giving Ryou a smile of approval.
Ryou made no reply as he tried to calm Bakura.
"Well, now I know why I didn't get an invite to Duelist Kingdom," Honda gaped.
"Yea... Same here," Jou mumbled.
"Me too..." Anzu murmrued.
~*~*~
Bow: Yea, yea, horrible chapter, but yet another just to keep the storyline moving. Alright, and an announcement! Due to the fact that writing out the entire Duelist Kingdom Tournament would be really boring on my part, we're going to skip to after it's over! Yay! No happy, cheery Anzu speeches! And, even closer to when Byono ****. Hey!!! No!!! A spoiler sensor!
Dragon: *grins* Thanks Sky!
Bow: Nooooooo! *blinks* Anyway, so Yugi becomes King of Games, Joey is second, they get the Millenium Eye (Yes, they get it. They don't use it, but Yami has it for safekeeping until he gets to Shadi. He's all guardian-y over the Items anywho.), I don't have to write ANYTHING with Pegasus *cheers*! Oh, and they meet Mai, Weevil, Rex, Bones, Keith, and Mako there. Oh! And I'm switching Serenity to her Japanese name of Shizuka, just to keep her kinda consistant with the whole Japanese name thing. But, I've seen the minor charries's names, and they're horrible! I'm not usin' them!
Dragon: *watches as Bow passes out from being such a windbag and talking too much* And a request, if anyone has a list of the cards in the characters' decks, in the older episodes before Aligator's Sword, Gazelle, Magnet Warriors, etc, please e-mail them to DragonBow87@aol.com. We're going to be using their older cards, if we even really use many duels. I don't think we will.
Bow: *glares at Dragon* I am NOT a windbag! *tries to backspace Dragon's previous action*
Dragon: Hey! Leave that alone!
Bow: And I didn't pass out!
Dragon: Pah!
Bow: *turns to readers* R/R!!! *tackles Dragon, biting her leg*
Dragon: Owwiee!!!
Dragon: WILL YOU STOP SOUNDING SO GODDAMNED SURPRISED WITH EVERY NEW CHAPTER?! *pants, eyes narrowed*
Bow: *blinks* Okay... -__________-()...

Yami's eyes opened slowly as he lowered his head, looking down in the empty place in his arms that had once held a small, warm body. He sat up sleeply, shivering, as he ran his fingers through his tri-colored hair, ignoring the light blue, star-covered pajamas he wore.
"Aibou?" He muttered groggily, glancing around the bare room.
A red-numbered digital clock told him that it was about 3:16AM, much too early for Yugi to be up for school. His sleepy mind forgot that he could call out mentally to his hikari, and he stood up to go find the missing angel.

"My Grandpa found it in an archeological dig down in Egypt. He gave it to me to solve," Yugi mumbled.
"Grandpa? You have mentioned him before, but you haven't spoken of him since then," Yami thought aloud.
"My Grandpa... died... in a dig last year. A chamber collapsed on the group he was in," Yugi whispered, tears gathering in his gentle, violet eyes.

"Well, now I know why I didn't get an invite to Duelist Kingdom," Honda gaped.
"Yea... Same here," Jou mumbled.
"Me too..." Anzu murmrued.

Bow: Yea, yea, horrible chapter, but yet another just to keep the storyline moving. Alright, and an announcement! Due to the fact that writing out the entire Duelist Kingdom Tournament would be really boring on my part, we're going to skip to after it's over! Yay! No happy, cheery Anzu speeches! And, even closer to when Byono ****. Hey!!! No!!! A spoiler sensor!
Dragon: *grins* Thanks Sky!
Bow: Nooooooo! *blinks* Anyway, so Yugi becomes King of Games, Joey is second, they get the Millenium Eye (Yes, they get it. They don't use it, but Yami has it for safekeeping until he gets to Shadi. He's all guardian-y over the Items anywho.), I don't have to write ANYTHING with Pegasus *cheers*! Oh, and they meet Mai, Weevil, Rex, Bones, Keith, and Mako there. Oh! And I'm switching Serenity to her Japanese name of Shizuka, just to keep her kinda consistant with the whole Japanese name thing. But, I've seen the minor charries's names, and they're horrible! I'm not usin' them!
Dragon: *watches as Bow passes out from being such a windbag and talking too much* And a request, if anyone has a list of the cards in the characters' decks, in the older episodes before Aligator's Sword, Gazelle, Magnet Warriors, etc, please e-mail them to DragonBow87@aol.com. We're going to be using their older cards, if we even really use many duels. I don't think we will.
Bow: *glares at Dragon* I am NOT a windbag! *tries to backspace Dragon's previous action*
Dragon: Hey! Leave that alone!
Bow: And I didn't pass out!
Dragon: Pah!
Bow: *turns to readers* R/R!!! *tackles Dragon, biting her leg*
Dragon: Owwiee!!!
