1A/N Dude! This chapter is going to be really creepy! You have been warned! By the way. Angel, Amanda and Kayo are my characters! Don't use them unless you have my say so...or I will sue you! Actually I'm too young to do that but that's okay!
Another thing...people have told me that I am copying the story Fatal Attraction. That is false and I assure you that this story will be nothing like that and never has been. Though I do recommend that everyone read that story. It is great!
Chapter 4-Two Yugis?
Yami starred at the snowy ground shaking. He wasn't too sure whether or not it was from the cold or the fact that his lover was taken away from him. Everything felt numb...even his mind. Yugi was everything and when everything is snatched from someone it makes it hard to understand anything.
After what seemed like forever, Yami looked at Yugi's father, Cole. It was clear he was dead for he was an ice blue color. Yami walked over to him and checked for a pulse just in case. How was Marik able to control Cole?
Yami was at a loss. He dragged the body back over to the car. He was coming up with a plan in his head. Yugi...Yugi...he's gone... was all that went through Yami's mind. A shiver ran up Yami's spine when he thought of how Yugi had looked at him before disappearing.
Even if Yugi had been cheating on him, which Yami now doubted in the first place, Yami wasn't going to let Marik hang onto him for long. Yami felt like he was in quicksand. No matter how hard he tried to fight off the emotions building up inside of him the more he became trapped within them. Tears welled up in Yami's eyes but he quickly brushed them away.
He had to be strong...for Yugi, his hikari, his ...love? Yami didn't know the answer to that but knew that in his heart he would always love Yugi. In his mind he already had a plan. He would go back to Joey's house and get help. Yami knew that whatever Marik wanted had to be something to do with himself so he would soon see him again.
Yami was so wrapped up in his thoughts that he totally forgot the father and the little girl still in the car. When Yami had dragged the body of Yugi's father to the car Yami starred in shock. He quickly ran to the front seat and checked for a pulse from the father. There was one, but it was faint. After checking for a pulse from the little girl he relaxed. They both were just knocked out.
Suddenly a car whirled by Yami at lightning speed. Yami felt anger burst through him for a lot of reasons. For one, he was now covered in snow, second the car the father had been driving became buried even further.
The black car came to a sudden stop ahead but Yami was too preoccupied to pay any attention to it. A teen stepped out of the car and raced towards Yami. "Oh my god! I am so sorry! I didn't see you there!"
Yami's anger was suddenly erased when he heard the voice. There was something about the tone he used that made Yami's anger, fear, and for some odd reason all thoughts of Yugi, fade away. Yami shook his head in confusion and went along with his business.
"Hey." The teen said now next to Yami. "What happened here? Do you need any help?" Yami again ignored the teen and didn't look at him.
Yami opened the door and shoved Cole inside.
"You don't plan on trying to drive this piece of junk do you?" the teen asked. Yami could feel his annoyance creep into his senses. "Why are you ignoring me? Are you deaf or something?" the new stranger teased.
Yami felt his anger take over. "Did I ask for your help!" he yelled slamming the door. He turned and slowly began to look at the stranger. "I have to find—," At that moment their gazes connected. Yami starred. "Yugi?"
The stranger that Yami's eyes beheld look almost identical to Yugi. He had tri-color hair but instead of the red tips, they were a dark blue. He was the same size as Yugi and had the same angles. However, what Yami felt was the most stunning was his eyes. They were a blazing sky blue, almost captivating. Yami starred at the teen for the longest time.
The younger one was the first to speak. "Yugi?" He looked at him in shock and backed away slightly. "How do you know my name?"
Yami didn't answer but continued to stare.
"A-Atemu?" the Yugi look alike asked. "No way! You're dead, there is no way you can be here." he began to stumble and fell in the snow. Yami took a step towards him. "Stay away from me!" the look alike shouted.
"Okay chill a second okay." Yami whispered barely able to find his own voice. "I'm sure there is a reasonable explanation for this. I'm not dead. Why do you look different? And what happened with Marik?" Yami asked all at once.
The stranger starred at Yami. "I look different? You're the one who looks different. Why are your eyes a crimson? It's pretty but...not you." he answered. "And we defeated Marik ages ago in that shadow game."
Yami was confused. "Your name is Yugi, right?"
Yugi nodded.
"How is that possible? I just saw Marik take you away!" Yami exclaimed. He put his hands on his hips, "And I like the color of my eyes thanks." Yami held out his hand to help the foreign Yugi stand up.
Yugi looked at it and hesitantly took it. "I don't understand how it became so snowy so fast." he stated going off topic. "I was in a desert when suddenly I was here. I just started driving home hoping someone would know what was going on. Why would Marik do that?"
Yami looked around. "It has been snowing for about two days now. There was snow on the ground before that! What world were you living in?" Yami asked. The whole situation was making him nervous. Why was there someone else around that look just like his lover, and had the same name too?
"World?" the other Yugi asked. A horrified look came upon his face. "World...What's today?" he asked slowly.
Yami shrugged annoyed. "Friday? I don't know why?"
"No!" Yugi shook his head, "The date! Tell me the date!"
Yami thought a minute. "I think it's January 23, why?"
The other Yugi looked confused. "January? What is January?" The other seemed uncomfortable and started to back away. "You're not my Yami. Who are you and where have you taken me?" he asked looking around.
Yami was in total shock. "January is a month. And I'm not too sure that you are where you're suppose to be." Yami whispered and then shook his head. "I don't have time for these games. I have to find Yugi before it's too late."
"But I'm right here." the other stated very annoyed.
"No! Not you, the one that was just kidnaped by Marik!" Yami shouted. He turned and started to walk away when a bright light appeared before him.
Yami watched in amazement as a human figure appeared within it. Moments later a blue eyed Egyptian was standing before him in sacred robes. "Shadi?" Yami exclaimed in both amazement and worry. The only time he had ever seen Shadi was usually when something bad was about to take place.
Shadi didn't smile but bowed his head in reply. "My king."
Yami tried to find words. "B-but you were sent to rest. After I recovered my memories I was told your spirit was at peace." Yami stammered. "Why are you back here?"
Shadi sighed and a saddened look took shape in his eyes. "I was my king, but I am afraid that since you refused to take your journey in the afterlife a new evil has the chance to roam this earth."
"Marik." Yami cringed trying to push the sudden thoughts of his frightened hikari out of his mind. "How did he get back? I thought he was banished forever!"
Shadi continued his explanation. "The shadow realm was not destroyed when you defeated Zork. Just cut off from the rest of the world. There hasn't been a soul sent there in months and the shadows are hungry." Shadi sighed. "The Gods think that as a result they have sent Marik to send more souls to the shadow realm."
Yami felt his eyes widen and his heart jump out of his chest. "Is that what he plans on doing to Yugi?" Yami asked all thoughts of the other stranger that had now come up beside him.
"Hello!" The other Yugi sneered. "Still right here!"
Shadi looked at Yami and cringed. Yami didn't like it, he had never seen Shadi shudder before and all he knew was it couldn't be a good sign. "Let me finish the rest before I tell you your Hikari's fate. Marik was set free but at a price. He either has to find many souls or just one to suit the shadows, One of pure light. other wise he won't go back to the Shadow Realm but Hell."
Yami shook his head. "That is impossible. No soul can exist of pure light or even pure darkness. There has to be some kind of balance. Why would the shadows want Marik to do the impossible?"
Shadi frowned. "There are two souls that wonder earth that use to consist of something pure. One of them was banished by you. Zork was the creator of the Shadow realm, therefore his soul consisted of pure darkness. If the shadow realm were to receive a soul of pure light that would mean the end of the world as we knew it."
"Why!" Yami demanded.
"If an innocent, kind, and pure soul that has done no harm to anyone were to be taken to the shadow realm they shadows could feed on it and become more powerful. This would truly falter the balance between good and evil." Shadi explained.
"That still doesn't explain why Marik took Yugi!" Yami yelled. He couldn't tell if he was more upset because Yugi was gone or that the shadow realm was trying to feed on an innocent soul. Yugi wouldn't be the one that consisted of pure light because he had a dark side that fought Yami during the whole Dartz ordeal.
As if reading Yami's mind Shadi shook his head. "Your Hikari has a dark side. That is you. If you would have left for the afterlife Yugi's soul would have been destroyed. However you stayed and now he still shares your dark half."
Yami knew his words to be true. He remembered what Yugi had told him during their duel. You and I are exactly the same. So the darkness that's in your heart is the darkness that is also in my heart! Those words cut through Yami like a knife.
"Now that Yugi has been separate from you the balance has been faltered. If Marik does succeed in sending Yugi to the shadow realm then all hope for this world is lost." Shadi continued. "I have been told that the reason this 'other' is here is because you will need his help."
The other Yugi put his hands up defensively. "Whoa! Don't drag me into this okay! I just want to go home nothing more." he turned to Yami who was giving him an exasperated look. "And why do you care so much about me...or the me in this world? You never cared before."
Shadi spoke before Yami was able to. "Yugi, you have been sent here from an alternate world. You and Yami are...partners here." Shadi explained stammering some what. Yugi look confused.
"He means that we are together." Yami detailed.
Yugi suddenly became wide eyed. "You mean like lovers."
Yami nodded.
"Ooookaay." Yugi stated turning red. "We aren't lovers in my world so don't try anything funny okay."
Yami sighed and then frowned. "Whatever, but why? You said that I was dead?"
Yugi smiled. "Well, more dead then you were before. See different things happen in different worlds. I know because I research and I have that kind of time during the day. Anyways yeah, you got your memories back and you left for the afterlife. I guess in this world you don't. If that's different what other things are different. Is Amanda here? How about Angel and Joey?"
"Angel, Amanda?" Yami questioned. "I don't know them but we do have a friend named Joey. Blond hair, brown eyes—,"
"Dopey sometimes." Yugi finished.
Yami chuckled. "That's the guy."
Shadi spoke next, "Sorry to interrupt this but there is something else I need to tell you. You must be very careful. Now that Yugi has no dark side balancing his soul it will start to create a balance."
Yami shook his head confused. "What do you mean."
Yugi giggled. "He means that I am going to turn into a creepy evil person, right?"
Shadi didn't smile. He nodded.
Yugi stopped laughing. "Okay, I was just kidding. I didn't mean to be right."
"Yugi will develop a dark side but since he has never had one of his own his soul won't know when to stop creating one. Before He'll know what is going on his soul will become darkness." Shadi continued. "You must stop this from happening."
"I don't understand." Yami said frustrated. "Why didn't this happen before Yugi solved the puzzle?"
Shadi nodded in understanding. "You were still in this world. Yugi is no longer in this one meaning he can't sense your dark side any longer. That is why this other is here. Marik made them switch worlds. Since the Atemu in that world has left for the afterlife there still will be no balance between you two."
"That's not good." Yugi took in a breath. "Can I use my powers to get back to my world? I could take him back with me." Yugi pointed to Yami.
Yami starred. "You have powers?"
Yugi smiled and nodded. "I may not have a soul that consists of pure light but I am part of the good team. I can take us back to that world and save the other me."
Yami nodded. "Let's do it."
Shadi said a few last words of warning. "It will be difficult to find the other you in that world. Here you would be able to track Marik down by concentrating on his powers. But in that world everyone has powers. It won't be an easy task."
"Since when is anything?" Yami muttered.
"Okay, lets go Atemu." Yugi smiled and grabbed his wrist.
"Um...you can call me Yami." Yami stated while being dragged away.
Yugi stopped and looked Yami up and down. "No...I'm going to call you Atemu. It is your real name and your not exactly my Yami." Yugi finished and dragged Yami to his car. "We have to go to a certain place for me to do the spell. I just hope it works."
Yami had one more question for Shadi. "Hey shadi?" Yami said beginning to turn around. "Was Yugi really cheating on—,"
But Shadi was gone.
A/N End of chapter. I have a question too.
Should the other Yugi's Yami come back from the Afterlife? Yes or No? Tell me in your review okay?
