Samantha was already on her way to the jet, Yami and Yuugi were still lagging back at the suite. Yuugi's eyes were fluttering between a half sleep, half wake state. He was still in the bed. "Time comes near Yami. I can feel it." Yuugi's eyes were distant, and his voice nostalgic. "Rah, please let me remember." A tear trickled down his cheek. His darker half was in the kitchen, and never herd Yuugi's whispered prediction or plea.
Yami walked up to Yuugi, laying a hand on his shoulder. Yami looked deeply at the form of Yuugi, something wasn't right. He looked lost all over again, how many times must he get lost. "Yuugi." Yami took a deep breath. Could it be maybe he remember something, unlocked a new door. Not that many doors in Yuugi's mind mattered anymore. He'd given Yuugi permission to run wild through his own mind.
Yuugi stared back blankly at Yami. "Rah, I wish to remember. Remember what is forgotten." He whispered so low that Yami had to strain to hear. "It is there right there, but yet so far way."
Yuugi's eyes flickered gold for a moment, and his body went limp as he collapsed into Yami's hold. Yami almost jumped back dropping Yuugi. However instead he began to shake Yuugi. "Yuugi." No response. What has that bitch done to you, my precious? Yami pulled Yuugi close to his body. Tears began to fall as he brought his lips to Yuugi's. It worked for Cinderella; just maybe it will work for me.
Yuugi's eyes didn't open, but his body brought him towards the kiss. Deepening it, Yami let Yuugi lead. Everything in his mind was a blur, as every door seemed to open at once. Nothing, nothing at all made sense. Every shadow became Yami, what a wonderful site. Everything shuffled, everything in a different order. Every door closed. Tears trickled. He broke their kiss opening his eyes. He fell out of Yami's arms, and back onto the bed. He cried heavily. "Rah, why?" His body shook violently.
Yami crawled into the bed and pulled Yuugi close. "What happened?" Pulling Yuugi's shaking form against his body he rocked them both. He ran his fingers through his hair. "Are you okay?"
"My shadows have become you." Yami gave a curious express. That was supposed to be a good thing, or one would think. Yuugi took in deep breaths through his tears. "But then, everything shuffled. Everything isn't in order. Nothing makes since." Yuugi grabbed his head with both his hands. "Rah, It hurts. The laughter in my ears, my head. My nightmare starts again, but now it is in my waking hours."
Yami spent the next few hours comforting Yuugi, whispering little loving what knots. Till finally out of breath and out of tears, he fell into an uneasy sleep. Yami scooted out of the bed.

"Seto." Yami's voice was shaky, and tired. "We've been delayed."
"What is wrong Yami? Delayed?" Seto's voice held worry. Yami's voice never reached this level unless it involved Yuugi.
"Yuugi, I'm not even sure myself. Something's happened. We'll be on the jet shortly."
"Alright. What about Samantha."
"She left hours ago. I'm sure she already knows what's going on. You know her." Yami sighed. "If she doesn't then I'll just tell her when we get on the jet."
"Is there something you're wanting to ask of me?" Seto could sense it in Yami's voice.
"I'm exhausted, and I've already asked so much of you. We both have." Yami's voice was steadier now.
"We are like family. Please, what is it?" Seto persisted.
"I want you to set up the duel arena. Allow my Egyptian God cards once more. Remove any penalty blocks."
Seto gasped. "You know, removing the blocks could be fatal?"
"I've got to crush this nightmare of his one way or another." Yami's voice began to shake again. "So, you'll do it then?"
"Yes, Yami. The day after you land we'll be ready." Seto paused. "I'll fly Isis an Marik over. Will you be strong enough?"
"Thank You. Yes, I'll rest on the jet. I've got to go." (Dial Tone)
