Chapter 2 Remembrance II and a new life
Dangerousgirl: Yea! I have 7 reviews! Thank you everybody! Anyways the last chapter, it really was in relation with the movie, and yes Kaiba really did say all those mean things to Yami, makes me wonder why Yami didn't get mad at Kaiba but oh well, the only time the chapter was not in correlation to the movie was when Yami got mad at Kaiba, other than that, it's pretty much the movie. Anyways here's the next chapter to did you ever really care?
Disclaimer: Don't own
Yami trudged along the wet streets, walking ever so closer to a high bridge over a rushing river. He slowly stopped at the bridge and leaned against the railing, his mind already back in the past, as he looked down at the river.
It was a few days after the duel with Kaiba, when Yami and Yugi were inside the Millennium puzzle going through the new rooms Yugi had found while he was trapped inside the puzzle with his friends. Yugi had found a very thick, ancient book with strange wordings inside. When Yugi managed to pronounce the words, the room shook and everything went black, when he came to, he was in his bed with Yami in a real body looking at him from his sitting position in the chair. After that, Yugi and his friends were thrilled that Yami had his own body, but they could still tell that Yami was still very depressed about Kaiba. Only Yugi understood why Yami was so depressed, the others had no clue.
Now when Yugi went to school, he left Yami at the game shop, because Yami couldn't face Kaiba at school. Yami would get start shaking every time he heard Seto's name, much less able to face him. So while Yugi was at school, Yami sat at his desk and just kept his head in his arms, replaying the duel over and over, inside his head. Whenever Yugi came home, Yami would pretend to be asleep, but Yugi knew better, because he could see the tear streaks on Yami's face whenever he looked in on him. At night Yami would stay awake looking up at the moon and the stars, wondering where 'did it all go wrong', until the sun came up. Yami hardly ate either, he mainly ended up putting the food back where it came from, and Yugi would just keep serving him the food. Pretty soon, Yami was looking so sickly, that it took several tears and puppy eyes, in order to get him to eat occasionally; there was nothing Yugi could do to get Yami to sleep, so Yami continued to live with his deteriorating health.
Now during all this time, Yugi did of course try to make Yami feel better, but Yami was inconsolable, so he would often go to his friends on what he could do to help Yami, he tried all of their suggestions, even Tea's but he soon realized that he was punishing Yami more than he was helping him. So Yugi decided to let Yami work out his problem.
Yugi had more pressing concerns at the time also, like constantly turning down Kaiba's challenges to duel, saying that he couldn't because technically it was Yami that dueled Kaiba, and Yami didn't want to duel Kaiba ever again.
After a couple of weeks, of this continued cycle, Yami had reached the final decision that he just couldn't live in this life anymore. He decided to go the day Yugi and his class had a field trip. He remembered everything that Yugi was telling him.
"Okay, Yami" Yugi said "I'll only be gone for a couple of days, and grandfather is visiting Professor Hopkins, so you'll be all alone."
"Don't worry about me, Yugi" he had reassured his light "You just have a good time at this field trip."
Yugi beamed at him "Yeah, guess you're right. I wonder if Tea is here ye…" Yugi got cut off when Yami got a scared look on his face and had wrapped his arms around himself and started shivering violently "She's here." Yugi sweatdropped "Huh?"
"The evil" Yami continued "The evil is here, I can feel it coming for me, there's no escaping…the evil."
BAM! The door was flung open to reveal the evil. "YAMI!!!" the figure squealed before lunging across the room and encasing Yami in a tight chokehold
Yugi started laughing "Oh Yami, it's just Tea."
"Ex…act…ly" Yami managed to wheeze out, with Tea's death grip
"Uh oh, we have to go Tea" Yugi said, looking at the clock.
"Awwww" Tea whined before detaching herself from Yami
"Bye Yami" Yugi waved
"Wait Yugi" Yami called out
"Yes?"
Yami walked forward to Yugi, and drew him in a big embrace, after a couple of minutes in that position, Yami slowly let go of Yugi and softly said "Goodbye Yugi."
Yugi frowned at the wording, "Yami? What are you…?"
"Come on Yugi, or the bus will leave us." Tea called from downstairs
"Coming!" Yugi called down the stairs, before looking back at Yami questioningly
"Go ahead Yugi, I'll be fine" Yami said trying to smile reassuredly.
"Well…okay." Yugi said slowly before turning around and walking out of the room.
Yami watched from the window, Tea and Yugi leave before reaching into his pocket and producing a folded up piece of paper with the letters Yugi written on the front. He placed the letter on top of the desk with the millennium puzzle over it.
"Goodbye." Yami whispered, before walking out of the room, forever.
Now here he was, standing at the bridge ready to end his life, not caring who was looking at him. He slowly hoisted himself onto the railing, and stood on top of it, looking down. He took a deep breath and spread out his arms in preparation to jump.
"Don't do it." A woman's voice called out.
Yami started and turned his head in the woman's direction. She was wearing black boots with formal black pants and silk blue shirt; she had a white coat over it. She had brown hair with large streaks of gray in it, and brown eyes behind sharp looking glasses.
"Why shouldn't I?" Yami asked
"Because whatever happened, it can be fixed." The woman answered
Yami shook his head "You can't help me, because it can't be fixed."
Now it was the woman's turn to shake her head "That's where you're wrong, anything can be fixed."
"I just want to forget everything, and in order for me to forget, I have to end my life." Yami said
"Well, how about you just forget about your life, and start with a whole new life?" The woman asked.
That piqued Yami's interest "What?"
"You heard me" the woman smirked "What if I told you that I have the advance knowledge and technology to erase your memories of your life and give you a brand new life?"
"I'd say, how much will it cost me?" Yami asked
The woman laughed "Nothing, you will not be paying me a single penny, other people pay me to do this."
Yami looked at her skeptically, "Look why don't you come with me, and I'll explain everything." The woman said, gesturing toward a long black limousine. Yami hesitated, then figured he had nothing to lose, so he hopped from the railing and followed the woman into the limo.
Inside the limo, the woman scrutinized Yami's face and body. "What?" Yami finally asked, "Nothing" the woman said "Just thinking with a lot of sleep and food, you can easily be the hottest patient I ever had."
Yami blushed, "I guess I'll take that as a compliment."
The woman smiled, "I should introduce myself, my name is Eileen Kilai, but you can just call me Doctor Kilai."
Yami took her a outstretched hand and shook it once while he said "Yami Motou."
"Oh my," Dr. Kilai gasped "The Yami Motou? The King of Games?"
Yami nodded.
"Something really bad must have happened for you to try and commit suicide." Dr. Kilai stated.
"Something did or I should say someone" Yami answered "But how can you help me?"
Dr. Kilai smiled "I am the top renowned scientist, in erasing people's memories and giving them new lives."
Yami whistled "Impressive."
Dr. Kilai nodded "It is, and one hundred percent of all my patients never got any flashbacks of their old lives, even if they were subjected to everything about their old lives, to them it'll be as if they had never been there before."
Yami's eyes lit up "So if I get my memories erased, there's one hundred percent chance that I will never remember?"
Dr. Kilai nodded "Correct."
Yami frowned "How is that possible?"
"Because while the other doctors, simply erase your memories, I take your memories out of your head, and put in new memories."
Yami chewed his bottom lip as the information sunk in.
"Well? Are you interested?" Dr. Kilai asked gently
Yami lifted his head and in a clear voice said "Count me in."
Yami could hardly keep his excitement in as the car neared a huge glass building that rivaled Kaiba's.
"We're here." Dr. Kilai said, as the limo slowed to a stop.
Yami cautiously got out of the car, and looked way up at the intimidating building.
"Don't worry." Dr. Kilai said, as she led Yami through the expensive building "We're just going to step into my office for a little bit, so you can tell me what kind of new life you want."
"I get to choose?" Yami asked
"Of course," Dr. Kilai said "I'll be giving you a big book about lives that you can choose from."
Yami nodded as he stepped into an elaborate office. Yami sat down in a plush chair, while Dr. Kilai went to her bookcase and pulled out a huge book.
"Here you go," Dr. Kilai said "All the lives that you can choose from."
Yami let out a little 'oof' as Dr. Kilai dumped the book in his lap. Yami opened the book and started to flip through the pages. After awhile, Yami shook his head and said "So far there is nothing that interests me, I mean; I don't want to be a trash collector or anything. Do you have any suggestions or anything?"
Dr. Kilai tilted her head thoughtfully "Why don't you turn to page one thousand three hundred and thirty-two? I find that my patients really like those lives."
Yami turned to the suggested page "WOW! There's so many to choose from, a bodyguard for the president, Senator, Congressman, CEO of the music industry, ooh an agent in espionage. How can I choose?"
Dr. Kilai laughed "Well, why don't you choose the espionage?"
"Really? Why?" Yami asked
"Well, not only do you have the looks and body for it," Dr. Kilai began "But you also get to choose another life."
"How come?" Yami asked
"Because as a spy you'll need another life to cover-up what you really do at night." Dr. Kilai explained.
"Oh," Yami said "Then I'll choose espionage and the CEO of the music industry."
Dr. Kilai nodded "Excellent, now that you know what you want to do, why don't we get started with the process?"
As they walked toward the room with the equipment, Yami turned to Dr. Kilai and asked "How long does it take for my memories to be erased?"
"Well the least amount of time to erase a person's memories is three days," Dr. Kilai answered "And that's only because there's some memories that they want to keep so they fight it for awhile."
"I see." Yami murmured, as he reflected back on the days with Yugi.
As they entered the room Dr. Kilai said to Yami "Before we begin with the process I need you to say something to yourself on this video tape."
"What?" Yami asked
"In the event should you ever find out that you had your memories erased and thinking about retrieving them, you will be given this tape that you made before you got your memory erased, about whether or not you should get your memories back." Dr. Kilai stated from memory. "Don't worry, it's just a precaution, none of my patients had ever figured out that they had their memories erased."
"Hmmm" Yami walked into the room and faced the camera recorder. After a few minutes he walked out and gave out a big sigh of relief.
"Ready?" Dr. Kilai asked
"More than ever." Came the reply
"Just relax and it will all be over before you know it." Dr. Kilai reassured Yami, as she strapped the head projector on his head.
Yami nodded, before closing his eyes as the medication took effect, drifting off to sleep.
"How's he doing?" Dr. Kilai asked her assistant.
"Actually, he's doing very well." The assistant answered "He's losing his memory a lot faster than all the other patients."
"Hmmm, that's probably because he really wants to lose those memories, all the other ones still had attachment to some memories. He said something bad really happening with someone, but I'll find out later when I view his memories" Dr. Kilai reasoned
"Well, whatever it is at this rate he'll be finished before the day is over." The assistant said
"Then I'll get his two new lives memories ready, so that by the time he's finished, we can automatically start with them." Dr. Kilai said as she walked out of the room.
Yami slowly opened his eyes; he got up and stretched languidly from his king size bed.
"Good morning, sir." A young maid said as she stepped into the huge stylish room.
"Good morning, Annie" Yami smiled as he got out of bed. "I overslept so I won't be having breakfast."
Annie nodded "Very good sir."
Yami quickly showered and dressed in black leather pants with high leather boots and a silk crimson shirt covered with a black leather jacket, as he stepped out of his mansion, he greeted his chauffer with a good morning before getting in his limo.
The limo stopped at a building bigger than the Kaiba Corporation, Yami stepped out and into the building. As he stepped off the elevator, at the top of the building he was greeted with a woman sitting in one of his chairs.
Yami smiled "Ah, Eileen, to what do I owe the pleasure?"
Dr. Kilai smiled "I just wanted to see how my favorite CEO and spy was doing, is that so wrong? Atem Yamazaki?"
Dangerousgirl: And that's all for this chapter, people. If you want the next chapter up really fast, then I want a lot of reviews, and NO Yami and Dr. Kilai will NOT get together! EVER! They are just friends! There will be someone else! HEE HEE
Seto: You are so damn greedy, you know that?
Dangerousgirl: Reviews are what keep me happy, there's nothing wrong with that
Seto: When do I get my POV to explain myself, about why I did what I did to Yami?
Dangerousgirl: All in good time, Seto, right now it's Yami's turn to shine.
Seto: Sweatdrop
Dangerousgirl: Oh, and on one final note, remember Yami's condition that he gets whenever Tea comes, it will be important.
