"Yami, the doctor said no physical activity," Yugi whined, before giggling softly when a soft nose began to nuzzle his tender neck.

"This isn't physical activity aibou, it's cuddling," Yami smiled, before he began to purr softly, gently nuzzling his light for all he was worth.

Rolling his eyes, Yugi sighed, officially giving up, if Yami waned something or wanted to do something, there was no point in trying stopping him, he'd get what he want in the end, he always did, and right now he wanted to nuzzle his hikari's neck raw.

It had been a few days since Yami was released from the hospital, and the now ancient pharaoh was sitting on the living room couch, his little light in his arms, just the way he liked it.

After Yami had fallen asleep the first night at the hospital, Yugi and Egypt called the others to inform them about pharaoh, and in less then 20 minutes the entire gang was there, worried, but relived that the king was ok.

It had been a few weeks since then, possibly going on four or five, but Yugi wasn't really counting, he was just happy to have his love at home and safe.

Grandpa had fixed the skylight, but no one told him how it had really gotten broke. Yugi had told the older Motou that he and Egypt were playing around in his room and they had tried to open the window when it had shattered.

The older man didn't question the two cousins, for he knew the window was indeed old, and needed to be replaced, so he replaced it and asked no further questions, much to everyone's relief.

The once pharaoh was suppose to be resting, but that wasn't going so well. All day he had complained about being bored, saying that sitting on the living room couch all day was indeed not fun, so Yugi had decided to set with him and watch some TV, his first mistake.

Everything had been going fine, until Yami had decided he wanted to hold his hikari, and Yugi had let him, his second mistake. Now the small teen was trapped in the pharaoh's strong arms, butterfly kisses and gently nuzzles being rained down upon his neck and shoulder. He had doomed himself; he knew it.

"Poor cousin, you look very uncomfortable there," Egypt said softly entering the living room from the kitchen, giggling at the glare Yugi shot her.

"Hush you," Yugi glared, before trying to shove the pharaoh, who now thought he was a cat, away from his neck, but to o avail.

"Hey Yami, I didn't know you were part cat," Egypt giggled, being able to clearly hear the purrs coming from the once pharaoh. Two pair of eyes looked at her, as both yami and hikari glared softly, causing Egypt to only giggle more.

Yami was about to open his mouth to tell the girl to buzz off in a not so polite way, but was stopped by the sound of the game shop bells from downstairs. All three teens looked at each other curiously, all having a questioning look on their faces. The game shop was supposed to be closed, the doors to the shop locked.

All jumped to their feet and rushed downstairs towards the shop part of the house, Yami slightly in front of the two smaller teens for protection. Reaching the bottom of the steps, Yami quickly looked around and his eyes landed on a young girl.

She looked to be about their age, maybe a little older, possibly 17 or 18, but she was small, petite like Egypt and Yugi. She had long black hair, as dark as the midnight sky, and her eye were a deep brown, almost black looking. She wasn't pale, but she wasn't tan either. She had this feeling about her, like you knew even though she was small, and probably weighed only about 115 pounds, she could take you out in a fistfight.

The young girl was wearing old navy blue jeans that were partly faded, and a black tank top, that complimented her shape very nicely. The young teen looked directly at the ancient pharaoh and smiled.

"Sorry if I scared you, an older man was leaving and I asked him if I could come in I have something for one of you," the young girl smiled, shoeing off purely white teeth. Her voice was soft and sweet, but held something… odd. Yami quickly noticed the vanilla envelope she had in her hands, and began to think she was one of those delivery persons.

"What is your purpose?" Yami asked, moving in front of Yugi and Egypt in protection. He didn't care how young this girl was, or if she didn't look the least bit dangerous, he wasn't taking any chances.

"I'm one of the nurses at the hospital, you must be Yami, your doctor told me that you needed these, so I decided to bring them over," the teenage girl smiled, holding out the vanilla envelope for the pharaoh to take. "They're information papers and exercises he'd like you to try to help your recovery,"

"But the doctor said Yami was suppose to rest," Yugi interjected, becoming very confused by this, why would the doctor want Yami to exercise when he was hurt?

"That is true, but he wanted Yami to start getting his muscles to work again, he doesn't have to do them right off, but Dr Leon dose want him to try the physical therapy," the young girl smiled, her eyes never leaving Yami.

Slowly Yami made his way over to the teen girl, his crimson eyes watching her closely. All those years in the puzzle taught him to be cautious at all times, and that looks can be deceiving.

Reaching out, Yami took the envelope from the small girls hands, their fingers just barely brushing. Yami couldn't help the violent shiver that ran up his spine, this girl was cold, ice cold to be precise. Her skin felt cold to the touch, and that oddly scared the pharaoh.

Holding the envelope in his hands, Yami looked down into the girl's eyes, hypnotized by their depths, he had never seen such eyes, never. True, Yugi's eyes were deep, but his held innocence and light, and Egypt eyes were deep as well, her blue orbs holding curiosity, and wonder, but this girls eyes, this girls eyes held, emptiness

Yami couldn't help but stare into her eyes, seemingly getting lost within them, and this caused shivers to race up and down his spine violently, causing him to gasp.

"Yami, are you ok?" Yugi's worried voice filled his ears, snapping him out of his daydream like trance, causing his head to violently start spinning, and the room to blur.

"I…. I think so," Yami whispered, clutching his head with one hand as he desperately tried to stop the room from spinning What the hell was going on?

"My name's Joan by the way, Joan Murete," the young girl smiled, happiness showing on her face, but her dark eyes as deep as ever.

"I'm Yugi, this is my younger cousin Egypt, and you already know Yami," Yugi smiled, walking over to the girl, reaching out his hand to shake.

"Nice to meet you Yugi, Egypt," Joan smiled, shaking both small teens hands, before bowing before the two of them, a sign of respect, which Yugi and Egypt did in return.

Yami looked shocked between the too light's, did they not feel it? Did they not feel how cold she was to the touch? Was it just him? Was he just being paranoid, again? He couldn't understand it. ((Maybe it's all in your head)) he mentally snapped, before clutching his head tighter.

"Love are you sure you're ok?" Yugi asked, placing his hand on Yami's back to steady him once he saw the dazed and pained look within the pharaoh's eyes.

"Yeah… I'm ok, just tired," Yami answered, giving Yugi a fake smile, which the smaller teen did not buy.

Looking directly into the pharaoh's eyes, Yugi pointed upstairs, his eyes stem, and left no room for argument. "Upstairs, I told you to rest today, now go before you pass out on the floor," Yugi ordered, his amethyst eyes dangerous, but Yami knew Yugi was doing this for his own good.

Giving a slight nod of his head, so not to worsen his already pounding headache, Yami made his way upstairs, leaving the three small teenagers downstairs. Part of him wanted to stay just in case, but he knew for a fact that Egypt always kept a dagger on her person, for safety.

"Is he going to be ok?" Joan asked, once Yami was up the stairs, and out of earshot.

"Yeah, he'll be fine, he just doesn't like listening to us when we tell him to rest for his own good, he can be hard headed at times," Egypt said, before giggling softly, causing Yugi and Joan to smile brightly.

"So where are you from Joan?" Yugi asked, hoping up onto the counter for a more comfortable position, standing up for a long time really started to hurt his legs after a while.

"I'm from Utah, but I moved down her with my mom when I was thirteen," Joan answered, smiling softly at Yugi.

"How old are you now, you look like you're about 16," Egypt smiled, resting her back against the glass counter that Yugi was sitting on.

"Actually I'm 17, just turned in the beginning of June, can't believe it was more then three months ago," Joan giggled, the soft noise sounding gentle, but… faded, like it wasn't there, or even real to be heard.

"Wow, you're older then all three of us, but you don't look it, you defiantly look about our age, which is 16 for all of us" Egypt smiled, shoving her hands into her jean pockets.

"Thanks," Joan smiled, before a loud crash was heard upstairs

."Oh Ra what did he do," Egypt growled, before bolting up the stairs, Yugi and Joan close behind her.

Opening the door, Egypt looked around and quickly spotted Yami, the ancient pharaoh curled up on the floor below the stairs, clutching his head, a rather large gasp oozing blood apparent on his forehead.

"What the hell," Yugi cried, running over to Yami, Egypt following close behind. "What the hell happened?" Yugi choked, examining the bleeding wound closely as he waited for Yami to answer.

"I think I was trying to come down the stars," Yami whispered, before hissing in pain when Egypt brushed his bleeding forehead.

"Head first?!" Egypt nearly screamed, her eyes going wide in disbelief. Helping Yami into a sitting position, Egypt ran up the stairs, leaving Yugi to hold the bleeding king.

Quickly returning, Egypt pulled out a numerous amount of bandages, and began to tend to the large wound, motioning for Joan to take a seat on the couch, while she finished up with Yami.

"You're lucky you didn't bust your head wide open," Egypt mumbled angrily once she was finished wrapping up the injury.

Yami didn't even answer, to busy clutching his now throbbing skull to care. Letting Yugi help him to his feet, Yami took a seat on the couch, resting his head against the soft cushions of the furniture.

"You've been rather clumsy lately Yami," Egypt growled, taking a seat on the in the love chair, crossing her arms angrily over her chest.

"Shut up, my head already hurts," Yami barked, not in the mood to hear Egypt scowling him, he already had a headache; he didn't need her making it worse.

Egypt rolled her eyes in annoyance, before she turned her head to Joan; surprised the girl had been so quite. "Hey, you ok Joan?" she asked, watching as the girls seemed to stare at Yami, watching the pharaoh closely, very closely.

"Yes, I'm fine, I'm just glad he's ok," Joan said, not taking her eyes off the former pharaoh of Egypt. Egypt was about to open he mouth and press the girl, when Joan stood up, smiling at everyone.

"Well it was nice meeting you all, but I really must go, I'm still on my shift," Joan smiled, bowing slightly to the three, her long black hair falling around her.

"It was nice meeting you too, I'll walk you to the door," Egypt smiled, getting up from her chair, and leading Joan out of the house, leaving Yami and Yugi alone.

"Are you ok love?" Yugi asked, taking a seat on the floor in front of his pharaoh, looking deeply into his eyes.

"Yeah I'm ok," Yami slightly smiled, then winced at the throbbing pain he began to feel in the back and front of his skull. Ra he felt like shit!

Getting up from his seat on the floor, Yugi made his way into the kitchen, and soon returned with an ice pack, placing it softly on Yami's head, before taking a seat on the edge of the couch.

"Thanks, hey aibou can I ask you something?" Yami asked, his crimson eyes looking up at his light, locking his eyes with Yugi's.

"You just did but sure," Yugi giggled, earning a soft smile from Yami before it disappeared, his eyes turning serious and wondering.

"When you touched that girl's hand… was it cold, like ice?" Yami asked, looking up into Yugi's eyes, searching for any signs from the boy above him.

"That girls name is Joan, and no it felt warm to me, why?" Yugi asked, curiosity rising within his deep amethyst eyes.

"No reason," Yami answered, before closing his eyes, the light from the room beginning to make his head spin rapidly. It made no sense, how come he felt the girls hand be ice cold, but when Yugi touched her she was warm, it didn't add up. ((You're being paranoid again)) his mind argued, only making his head hurt worse, but he didn't think he was, was he?

Hearing footsteps on the stairs Yami opened his eyes, just in time to see Egypt enter the living room, a smile apparent on her face. "I like her she's nice," Egypt giggled, before taking her seat back in the love chair.

"Don't you think she's… odd?" Yami asked, trying to sit up, but only managed to get halfway there before collapsing back onto the cushions, a groan escaping his lips.

"Who's not, and why are you being so mean Yami?" Egypt asked, crossing her arms over her chest, her eyes narrowing.

"I'm not, I was just asking… hey E, when you touched her… was she cold?" Yami asked, looking directly into Egypt's eyes just like he had done to his aibou.

"No she was very warm, why?" Egypt asked, an eyebrow arching as she looked curiously at the pharaoh.

"No reason," Yami answered, before making himself comfortable on the couch, it appeared he wasn't moving from the sofa, even if he wanted to, his head wasn't going to allow it.

"Man, you've been acting weird Atem, weirder then you normally do," Egypt said rolling her eyes. First he falls of the roof, and then he tumbles down the stairs, what next?

"Just shut up," Yami growled, flipping Egypt the bird, which earned him a whack on the arm.

"Yami stop it," Yugi ordered, his amethyst eyes darkening, as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"She started it," Yami whined, before finally having enough of his pounding headace and forced himself to sleep.

Deep in the shadows a figured smirked, teeth bearing, as dark red eyes landed on the pharaoh, watching him hungrily. So close, soon, very soon I will have you the figured purred, their deadly eyes darkening within the shadows.

Stupid mortals, so ignorant, so blind, can't even see what's right in front of their eyes the figured cackled darkly, their murderous eyes never leaving the sleeping form of the pharaoh. But of course this makes my job much, much easier, still, I was hoping for a challenge, a well, he'll be dead soon enough the figure smirked, a red slimy tongue darted across pale lips, watching the pharaoh hungrily from their seat within the shadows.

Soon very soon, for what those fools do not know is that my plan is already put into action hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Shadows

It is what you fear the most, correct

How can it not

For you do not know what lurks within them

You do not know what creatures wait to devour your very soul

Rips you apart, and feast on your rotting flesh

But I do

For I command them

And now

I command them to feast

ON YOU!!!!!
