READ THIS CAUSE I SAID SO!

Well all, welcome to another chapter of Past and Present. People are wondering, OMG is yugi gonna be okay! Is he (or how) is he gonna find out about his past! Well…let's just see how the story goes shall we? Suggestions may be given in the form of reviews as well as compliments of flames, I don't mind flames, they cook my marshmallows XD. I'll be updating this story about once a week, sooner if I get lotsa reviews (5+ on the latest chapter). So sit back, read, and enjoy!

Warning: I may do mean things to yugi in this story if I feel like it, or if I don't get many reviews. Please think of Yugi?

Thick and heavy. That was one way to describe how Yugi felt when the waves of consciousness were brought forth.

His vision swam before him and he struggled to lift his hand to his aching head. But he couldn't. Blinking away sleep he realized he was strapped to a table. His mouth formed into a big 'O' but he couldn't find his voice to scream. Let's just say he was shocked shall we?

"I see you're awake," an obnoxious voice penetrated the darkness.

Yugi's head moved sluggishly from side to side trying to find the owner of the voice. Why couldn't he think straight!

"You've probably noticed your slower movements by now. Or perhaps you haven't? After all your mind is trapped in a half conscious state."

"Wha-what did…" his voice was barely audible in the pressing dim light.

As he became more awake (sort of) he took in his surroundings. He was on a table, one that looked like what doctors operate on. He'd seen them on Tv once before he fainted at the sight of blood on the screen. There was a lit candle off to his left but the blackness around it caused it to become very dim.

"What did we do to you? We merely took you from your home, drugged you and tied you to an operating table."

"Why?..." His throat was becoming constricted, it hurt to speak.

"Because we needed you. Unfortunately you weren't wearing the puzzle when we caught you. You would have made things a lot simpler for you and me if you'd just worn it that morning!"

Yugi flinched at the tone. It made his head hurt. "Because of you I have to send my henchmen back to get the puzzle and return here. Making me thoroughly bored."

"What do you want with my puzzle!" he croaked.

"A duel. Between me and your father."

Yugi felt like laughing. "My father is in England! What does he have to do with my puzzle?"

Through the darkness Yugi thought he saw an evil grin. Or was his mind just playing tricks on him? "I see he hasn't told you. No matter. It only makes this plot a little more interesting."

A cool liquid was dripping through his skin, he felt his arm go heavy. "I have no further use for you for now. So why don't you just rest for a bit?"

His body felt cold and tired and soon his body felt too lazy to move. With hazy eyes he watched two eyes boring into his. With his mind slipping into sleep he barely realized his captor had two coloured eyes. One blue. The other, a piercing gold. Then all went black.

Grumbling, a man with short red hair smashed a rock through the topmost window of the Game shop. Acting quickly the man jumped into the attic room and looked around. Everything was blue except for a brown desk and a few posters, discarded clothes and scattered books were evidence of a lazy child's room and he knew he'd found the right one. Looking down he spotted his prize. The millennium Puzzle.

Taking it quickly in his hands he kicked the open bible over the side of the desk and left. "There's no such thing as God, what a fool."

(a.n. Yami could you mind crush him? Yami: but then wouldn't that be weird in the story? A.n. CURSE YOU AND YOUR LOGIC!)

He jumped out the window and sped off down the street on his bike with the puzzle around his neck.

Inside the puzzle Yami was contemplating. What did these people want with the puzzle, or Yugi? They had defeated Marik and Pegasus, both of whom had given up on their quest for the items. Some of you might be wondering why Yami just didn't send the henchman wearing his puzzle to the shadow realm? For the simple reason that he needed to know where Yugi was.

He clenched the fabric where his heart should have been beating. Even without one, he hurt. His child was once again in a position where he could be dead before this person even got to where he was! Most would have been cursing the deity they followed should something like this had happened to them. But not Yami, he remembered the last time he scorned God.

With a jolt, he fell of the stair he had been sitting on. "I suppose we've arrived," he muttered angrily and forced himself to stand."

With an angered sigh, the henchman walked into the building.

That's it! Yup that's it. Since I really like how this chapter went. How about I post it early, ne? but send me a review okay? Or else… (holds yugi in a constricting hug) I'll squeeze him to death!
