Author's Note: Well, I know I'm one review short but I figured it wouldn't hurt to post this up now! I've counted up the votes but I was a dissapointed to find that only two people actually voted. So, in the case that some of you didn't read the author's note I'm going to be a little more obvious this time. I will re-counting the votes during this chapter's reviewing period this is your last chance or I'll just count the votes I have right now and go ahead with it.
Now then, enjoy this chapter and witness the return of "crazy yugi"! Lets say...38 reviews huh?
Chapter 5

Yugi screamed. There were hands all over him, pushing and shoving him to a place where he didn't want to be. He beat his fists against the thing that was forcing him to move but it didn't seem to have any effect. The being was made entirely of shadow and appeared to have no physical matter to it anyway.
"Please!" Yugi cried out and arched his back. Every time the creature laid a finger on him it felt like a whip biting into his skin, cleaving flesh from bone. "Leave me alone!" The young boy wriggled in the grip of the monster but the pain it was causing him was overwhelming and he felt weakened. "Get off me! Please! Don't do this!" Again his back arched in pain and a scream was ripped from his throat as he struggled. Blood was trailing down his back and arms but still he fought. He didn't know why, but he knew giving in was more dangerous than the pain.
Yami sat up in bed, his eyes wide. He had dreamt that someone was screaming, that someone was in pain and desperate for help. A cold sweat broke on his brow and he tried to calm down his breathing. That was when he heard it. The screaming. He was up in a flash and he could hardly stir his legs to move fast enough up the stairs. There was only one person that screaming could be coming from and he didn't want to think about why any human being would be making a sound like that, especially this one. He passed Solomon Moto in the corridor on his way to Yugi's room. The older man seemed stunned and afraid, but Yami had no time to comfort him, he needed to see what was wrong with his friend, with his light.
Yugi's body twitched madly as the hands continued to touch and push him in a direction. He couldn't work out what direction it was as it was dark and he was in too much pain to think sensibly, but he knew it was bad. Twisting and bucking in the grip of the creature he could have sworn he could make out a face of some sort. A face like his own but masked in shadow. A face with glowing emerald eyes. The eyes were sort of hypnotic, they seemed to tell stories of an ancient time, but also the glowed with tales of the future and the reflections of the present. Looking into his own face and seeing those eyes was an unnerving experience. But he also couldn't help finding them oddly attractive. Yugi couldn't look away and his amethyst orbs were glued to the green ones of the creature. The thing looked identical to Yugi now apart from its eyes. It could draw power from the host since he was so ensnared in its spell. Yugi didn't even struggle the last couple of meters and the creature easily pushed the hikari into his soul room, locking it from the outside. Now there was only one soul acting in this body, and it certainly wasn't Yugi's.
When Yami did make it to the room he almost let out a yelp of horror. There, on the bed, was Yugi's small form, thrashing against the covers, his back arched in pain and screams ripping themselves from his throat. Yami ran to his hikari's side and desperately shook the boy.
"Yugi!" He yelled above the screams, desperation evident in his voice. "Yugi wake up! It's just a dream!" Pain continued to be evident on his light's face and Yami felt a flash of pure terror race through him, this had to be more than just a dream. "Yugi! Please, wake up!" He begged, and for a moment Yugi stopped twitching in his arms. The boy's eyes flickered open and looked blearily at him for a moment before they rolled backwards into his head in a dead faint. Yami felt his heart stop. Yugi couldn't be…? Quickly he moved to place two fingers on Yugi's pulse, but even before he got there the eyes opened again, more quickly this time. What the Pharaoh saw almost made him faint himself. The eyes looking at him were no longer an innocent light purple that he was used to seeing on his aibou. Now they were a different colour altogether. Green.
Yami couldn't help releasing Yugi from his grip and stumbling back. Something was very definitely not right here. No one's eyes just changed colour radically like that. What was going on? The Pharaoh almost made his fears known to what looked like his hikari. That was until he saw the look on Yugi's face. Hurt was written all over his features.
Author's Note: Told you I'd get your attention! If you haven't already voted please go back a chapter and read the author's note! I need your opinions folks!...Anyways...you can go on reading now! Enjoy !
"Y..Yami?" He asked, looking hurt and terrified at the same time. "W…what happened? It hurt so much Yami, I thought I was going to…" The smaller boy broke down into sobs and Yami's heart melted. Gently he moved forward and took his light in a comforting embrace.
"It'll be alright." Yami hushed and held Yugi close as he cried over the night's experience.
"It was horrible, I don't know what happened, I was in my mind and then I walked into where you used to be and there was nothing. Empty space and I was falling." The sobs renewed themselves and Yami held the boy tighter. There was a space in Yugi's mind where he had once been. That was dangerous.
"Yugi." Yami said firmly, "Yugi you must promise me never to go to that place again." Somewhere in his chest he felt Yugi nod. He was glad that Yugi had made the promise. He didn't know that he could take seeing his friend that way again.
"Why did you jump away from me like that?" The smaller boy asked, pulling away from his darkness a little. Yami struggled for words for a moment and then decided on none at all. Instead he took his friend by the hand and walked him over to the mirror. Yugi's eyes widened.
"W…what happened?" He asked, shocked.
"I don't know." Yami replied honestly, "You passed out and then your eyes were green." Yugi nodded slowly.
"Thanks Yami, for being there." Yami smiled,
"It's ok." He replied, "Will you be ok now? I'll be just downstairs if you need me, and grandpa is only a few doors away." Yugi nodded and looked as brave as he could. Yami smiled again, "Good night aibou." He walked over to where grandpa was standing and carefully steered the man from Yugi's room, comforting him as they went.
As the door clicked shut a grin took over Yugi's face and his eyes sparkled wickedly. Suddenly he looked completely evil. It was a horrific transformation. Slowly the small boy walked away from the mirror and climbed onto the desk in the corner of the room, pushing open the skylight. With almost superhuman agility, he leapt up and pulled himself onto the roof, crouching low so as not to slip. The city around him was lit up in parts and cars could be heard roaring by in the distance. Another dark smile curved Yugi's lips and then he spoke, his voice hushed and predatory.
"Everything is falling into place perfectly." He looked back down into the bedroom that was his, where Yami had been stood only moments before. "The Pharaoh will never know what hit him."
