Finally, I have the chance to make another Chapter. It has been some das and these ideas are spooking in my head. So, here's the new chapter.
Chapter 2 Past and future
After talking to Ishizu, Yami went straight into the game shop of Yugis Grandpa, walking into the younger boy's room. His grandpa had asked, if something happened and Yami just said that it was something they had to discuss in private. Solomon understood. Both were silent the whole way home, but they needed to talk about it.
Sitting on the bed of the small room, Yami let Yugi take over, even though he didn't like it.
The smaller boy layed down on the bed with a groan, taking off the puzzle. It layed on the nightstand the eye being seen. Life just got even more complicated.
"Yugi we need to talk about this" the spirit said, sitting down on the bed. Even though he was just a spirit, Yugi could've sworn he felt the bed moving. Maybe it was because he knew he was there.
Yugi moved himself onto the side, facing the wall. "I don't really want to" he mumbled into his pillow, eyes closing. He was tired and more confused than ever.
"I know you don't" Yami said softly "but we need to. I may not remember my past, or our past, but I always knew that something about you was different. And I had the need to protect it" he looked at Yugi.
The teen slowly sat up and pulled his knees to his chest, head resting on it. "I have nothing to say though" he meant silently "I don't really know what to say. Everything just got more complicated" he sighed.
"I can understand you Yugi but Marik is still out there and he will do everything he has to, to get what he wants" if he could, he would hug Yugi but in this form, out of their soul room, he was nothing but a ghost. Unable to touch anything or anyone.
Yugi looked at the puzzle, eyes narrowing. All of this happened to him because of that thing. If only his grandpa hadn't given it to him.
"I never should've solved this damn thing" he hissed.
Yami's eyes widened at the teen's words. "Don't say that. We belong together, and faith would've found a different way, even if you didn't solve the puzzle. Everything will be just fine" he promised. He knew that it would be fine, it always was.
"Maybe" Yugi rubbed his head, a headache forming. He should really start having some aspirin with him all the time.
"You should go to sleep. It's pretty late" the spirit glanced at the clock on the nightstand. It read 11:30.
Yugi nodded and layed back down. He was seriously tired, he had to admit that. It had been a long day, and everything just got more confusing and dangerous.
Facing the wall again, Yugi pulled up the blanket and closed his eyes. Yami vanished back into the puzzle.
Unknown to both of them, the puzzle started to glow, powers activating on its own accord.
Yugi layed in bed on his back. He could've sworn the bed was bigger, than usual and someone was lying beside him. It was night and Yugi was only half-asleep, rubbing his stomach unconsciously. It wouldn't be too long until he delivered, even though he had no idea how to do that.
But Isis said she had an idea. After all, they could get demons out of humans, so why not a baby out of a man?
Suddenly the silence was interrupted by a loud knocking sound on the door and he groaned.
The man beside him sat up quickly and stood up. He wore nothing but a piece of fabric, covering his private area.
"Enter!" he said in a strong tone, voice deep and rich. It reminded Yugi of someone, but he just couldn't remember who it was.
A man in armor entered the room, bowing down. The armor looked heavy and its silver material was shining in the moonlight.
"Forgive me my Pharaoh, me queen, but there has been an emergency" the armored man said in a respectful tone.
"Stand and speak" the man, that had been lying in bed with him, said. Yugi himself didn't want to stand up. It would be a waste of energy.
The armored man stood up. "The tomb robber has been found in the castle, my Pharaoh. The other guards are searching for him as we speak" he explained.
The other man turned to him and now Yugi could remember who he was. It was Yami.
"I need to take care of this. I want you to stay here, where it's safe for you. For both of you" Yami leaned down and pecked his check, a gentle hand resting on his swollen stomach. Even if Yugi protested.
He would be in bed after five minutes, complaining about his back.
Yami put on some clothes and followed he armored man. Yugi guessed he was a guard too.
So, he layed back down and closed his eyes. It wasn't the first time the tomb robber had found his way into the palace. Even though Yugi had never seen him, he knew he meant trouble.
Yugi twisted and turned in the bed but found no rest in it. The moon was shining bright and everything was quiet. Yugi turned onto the side, where Yami would usually lay. He searched with his hand but found nothing.
He wasn't back yet and Yugi could've sworn it had already been hours since he left. It was still dark out, so it was still nighttime. Even if they had found the tomb robber, Yami wouldn't deal with him in the middle of the night.
Yugi turned back onto his back and groaned, rubbing his face. He would never fall asleep, if Yami wasn't with him.
Yugi stood up and opened the large double doors of their chambers. Peeking outside, Yugi saw no one. If all the guards were gone, not even guarding the door, then something big must've happened. Yami would order him to stay in the room but he was concerned about him.
So Yugi slipped out of the room and went along the halls.
"Yami?!" he called. No answer, so he tried again, but only silence answered him.
Wandering around the halls, Yugi hoped to find someone, but no one was there.
Sighing, Yugi sat down on a chair. He was in the room he and Yami had decorated for some time alone. Talking and other stuff…
"You know" ha started, looking at his stomach "I would really appreciate it, if you would come out soon. I thank the gods for blessing me with you, but you are getting seriously heavy" he mocked, poking his stomach.
The extra pounds were killing his back and the cravings were getting annoying. The one time he even wanted his meat with coconuts. No one was sure, if it was edible that way, but he loved it.
Yugi yawned and leaned back. He should just go back to bed. Yami was no where to be seen and the baby was complaining about him sitting instead of lying.
So, he started to walk back to his and Yami's chambers, walking down the long corridors of the palace.
"Let's get back to bed. What do you say?" he asked, rubbing his stomach. His response was a light kick.
"I'll take that as a yes" he laughed.
"Well well well" a voice behind him said.
Startled, Yugi turned around. Now in front of him, a few feet away, was standing a man. He had long white hair and amused brown eyes, scars running over them. He was wearing red cloak and light brown trousers. Sand was sticking on the boots he wore, some dropping to the ground.
"Who are you?" Yugi asked. He had never seen him before and it scared him
The stranger grinned, leaning against the wall. "I thought by now everyone knew my name. Or at least my title" he shrugged.
Yugi was confused. He had never seen him, and he didn't look like a royal from another place, but he did look like someone he should remember.
"You don't look like a royal" he blurred out, leaning his head to the side. He looked like and innocent child.
The man laughed, throwing his head back. "No, no, I am no royal at all!" he laughed.
"The little queen is in need of knowledge it seems. I am known by many names. Some call me tomb robber and some just thief. My real name though, is only known by myself" he grinned.
Yugi took a step back. So, this was the one everyone was looking for.
"If you are the one that broke into the palace then where are the others? Where is everyone?" Yugi asked.
The thief shrugged, still grinning like a maniac.
"Where's Yami?" he asked. He was scared that the thief had done something to harm him.
"Oh, don't worry my queen" he mocked. "Your precious husband should be running around here somewhere. He is still unharmed."
Yugi sighed in relieve. So Yami was alive. He was fine.
"You on the other hand" the thief took out a knife from his belt, twirling it in his hands, looking at it with amused eyes. "You will just be standing in the way. And what better way to take revenge on the royal family, for killing my family, than killing his own" he mused, looking back at Yugi.
"Wait-" Yugi started, taking a step back.
"Tell me, how far are you along?" the thief asked.
Even though Yugi was scared as hell, he found the strength to answer. "Eight months."
The thief nodded, looking back at his dagger. "Heard the gods blessed you with it. How else would they make a man pregnant" he gave a short laugh.
Yugi took another step back and the thief's head shot up. Yugi had no chance to get anywhere. His only hope was to stall the thief long enough for Yami to find them.
He took a deep breath, "Killing me isn't going to change anything. Yami is not to blame for whatever happened to your family" he meant.
The thief laughed yet again and Yugi was getting the feeling that it was something like his hobby or something.
"Don't think I wouldn't know what you're doing. Stalling isn't going to save you, but we can talk a little longer. The Pharaoh needs to be here, when I kill you, you know?" he explained.
Just in that moment, Yami came around the corner, hearing voices.
"YUGI!" he screamed, seeing his husband with the thief.
In that second, the thief rushed forward, grabbed Yugi, spun him around and pressed the knife to his stomach. Yami stopped.
"You will release him this instant, thief" Yami hissed
"Sure, as you wish Pharaoh. I'll release him to the afterlife" he laughed, ramming the knife into the stomach.
Yugi dried out in pain and clutched his stomach. The thief released him, and he fell to his knees, him walking away calmly, laughing. He knew Yami would be to be distracted to follow him.
Yami pulled Yugi into his lap and pulled his hand away from his stomach. Blood was running out of the wound at a fast pace.
Yugi started to feel light headed as Yami started to press on the wound. He was crying, just like himself.
"There is nothing I can do Yugi. I'm sorry" he kissed his husband on the lips, tears falling onto the younger boys face, mixing with his own.
"It's okay" Yugi whispered. "We both know that I always get myself into trouble, when I don't listen to you" he laughed weakly.
"Don't say that. It's not your fault" Yami sobbed. "I …. I have to trust you with one more secret. There will be a war and I don't know what will happen. We will meet again, and you need to keep my secret save, because I won't remember and there will always be people wanting it. And as long as you remember it, you will be safe."
Yugi couldn't hear the rest, as the scene changed
Yugi was standing outside wind blowing strongly. Someone was standing beside him, but he didn't know him. He had never seen him before.
Yugi felt numb on the inside and he couldn't remember what had happened. Or where he was.
"Now little Yugi, it is time or you to fulfill your purpose" the man smirked. Yugi raised his hands, not remembering if it was on his own will or that of someone else.
And then he began to speak.
Yugi shot up in bed, gasping for air. What the heck just happened. Was it a dream or a vision or both?
Head bowed down, he put a hand on his forehead and tried to calm down.
"Bad dream" Yugi shrieked in surprise and looked up, only to find Yami looking at him with worry.
What should he say now? The truth? Or should he lie? He didn't want to explain anything, but he couldn't lie to Yami. He put so much trust and love in him. How could he lie to him?
"Yeah" he finally said. Damn it. "Just a bad dream. Nothing to worry about. Tomorrow we have some duels again and we have to find the others. It may be late but they are still in danger" Yugi smiled.
God he was so tired.
Yami nodded "remember that everything will be alright. You will be safe" and vanished again. Yugi layed back down and closed his eyes again, remembering the words.
You will always be safe
