CHAPTER 5

"I guess it's just you and me now."
Sighing somewhat unhappily, Yugi looked down at the pieces of the puzzle that layed on his desk.
"Sometimes I wonder if I'm doing the right thing. Yes I desperatley want you back Yami. I love you with all my heart and soul. But is it right to do so at the expense of my friends? Joey won't talk to me anymore. Kaiba has gone back to his sneer ways. Even his little brother turns the other way when ever I come near. People are talking. Whispering behind my back. I'm lost and I'm scared Yami. It's as if history is repeating itself. I can't live that way. Not again. Not after I've had the taste of friendship and love. Grandpa's gone. He won't ever be coming back. You're the only one I have left Yami. I need you to return to me."
With his brow deepened, Yugi leaned foward in his chair as he tried to put the pieces of the Millenium Puzzle together. He was now nearly half way finnished. Only a handful or so pieces remained.
Almost finnished! Just a few more pieces and!
Hardly able to contain himself, Yugi squirmed in his seat as he drew nearer and nearer into completing his task.
Soon Yami will be here with me and I'll no longer be alone! Maybe Joey will want to be my friend again. Even the Kaiba brothers! I know they will want to. They HAVE to!
As fate would have it, Yugi was down to one final piece when the doorbell rang from downstairs.
"We're closed!"
Yugi yelled as he turned back to the puzzle.
The doorbell rang again, this time the person was more persistant.
"I said we're closed! Come back tomorrow!"
Yugi again yelled beginning to feel somewhat irritated.
The person ringing the doorbell was also becoming irritated as they turned to pounding on the door.
"AH! Can't whoever that is get a clue!"
Sighing, frustrated, Yugi absent-mindly placed the final piece into the puzzle before hurrying out of the room.
"I'm coming! I'm coming!"
Reaching downstairs, Yugi yanked the door opened, ready to give whoever was standing out there a good talk. He however stopped in mid-sentence when he noticed who it was.
"Mai! What are you doing here?"
"Hi Yugi. Mind if I come in?"
Taking a step back, Yugi allowed Mai to enter the game shop. He watched her puzzled. Wondering as to what business she had here.
"What brings you here Mai?"
"Joey."
"Joey?"
"Yes!"
Turning to Yugi, Mai frowned unhappily.
"Joey told me what's been going on with you, Yugi. And I want to know, is it worth it?"
Yugi starred at the floor, biting his lips unsure as to what to say. He knew what to say, he just couldn't find the right words to say it.
"I'm waiting!"

UPSTAIRS: YUGI'S ROOM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Finally completed and lying untouched, unnoticed on the desk, the Millenium Puzzle began to glow. The light from the puzzle grew brighter and brighter, illuminating the room with a soft, golden light. The light was soon over-taken by a dark, scarlet red color. A mad shriek escaped from the puzzle as a figure slowly emerged from the puzzle. Their eyes, dark and cold. As that of the night. Looking about, around the room, the figure smiled slightly, amazed and amused.
"I'm back!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~
DOWNSTAIRS
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yugi was still trying to find the right words to say when he felt a warm sensation run through him. Startled at first, he was unsure of what to make of it.
"Hey, kid, you okay?"
Mai asked as she reached out to touch him.
"Yeah. I'm okay. It's just....."
That's when it dawned on him. Looking up to his room, Yugi let out a warrior's yelp of delight as he turned and raced up the stairs.
"Yugi! What is it! What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong Mai! Yami's back!"
Yugi yelled half-way up the stairs.
Confused as well as curious, Mai quickly followed Yugi upstairs. Reaching Yugi's bedroom door, Yugi took in a deep breath, slowly letting it out before opening the door.
"YAMI!"
Yugi cried out happily, rushing towards his tri-colored counterpart whom he had thought he would never see again.
Yami turned, glaring at the boy who was coming towards him. Just as he was almost near him, Yami struck the boy across the face. Falling down, Yugi looked up at Yami in shock, gently rubbing his cheek. Mai was equally shocked.
"Hey! What was the meaning of that Yami!"
She asked feeling outraged. Quickly walking over to Yugi, she knelt down and gently placed her hands underneath his chin and lifted his head to take a better look at the mark that had just been left.
Yami looked down and smirked as tears began to fall down Yugi's cheek.
He's more weak then I remember! But I can not have my fun with that girl here. She'll have to be taken care of.
Hiding the smirk and replacing it with false worryness, Yami knelt beside Yugi.
"Yugi! Please forgive me! I am not sure as to why I did that! I should have never struck you! Forgive me please!"
To make it seem more real, Yami was capable of causing a few tears to fall from his eyes.
Yugi looked up at Yami, first frightend but slowly his eyes softened as he saw the tears fall.
"It's okay Yami. I know you did not mean it."
Gently brushing Mai's hand away. Yugi slowly stood up.
"Here! Let me help you!"
Yami replied as he guided Yugi to his feet.
Mai took a step back unsure as to what to do.
"Are you sure you're okay Yugi?"
"I'm fine Mai. Thank you."
"Yes, Mai, Thank you! Uh, I know this may seem rude, but could you possibly leave? I've been gone from Yugi for far too long and I....."
"I get it!"
Mai replied smiling deviously, winking.
"Well then kiddo's, I'm off. Call me later Yugi okay?"
"Sure Mai. And thanks for stopping by."
"No problem and don't forget what I said!"
"I won't!"
Yugi and Yami watched as Mai left the room, closing the door behind them. They listened closely until they heard the sound of the front door closing. Yugi turned to Yami, over-filled with emotions.
"Yami! You're back! You don't know what this means to me!"
Yami's response was to violently strike the child once again, this time with more force. The momentum of the strike caused Yugi to stumble backwards into his bed.
"Yami! What!"
Silently, Yami walked over to Yugi, leaned down grabbing a fist-full of his shirt and brought him to his face.
"There are going to be a few changes around here!"
Yami snarled as Yugi looked up at him in with fear in his eyes.
