A World without Me….

Chapter 4

"talking"

-thinking-

Flashback

(echoes)

Yami's POV

Snow. So white and so pure…..just like you my Aibou….the sight of it brings happiness to everyone…..the way in covers the ground represents the exact thing you do in giving light to everyone….especially me…..you became the light of my darkened life…..your innocence radiates within my very soul…..your kindness has melted the coldness within my heart……you have given me everything…..every reason to live and love again…..oh Hikari…..

(I'll always be your light Yami….I promise)

(I'm glad I have you with me Mou Hitori no Boku…)

Oh Yugi….what would I give just for you to come back and be with me again Hikari…..what would I do just to get back to the time before I left…..to see your smiling face…..your beautiful amethyst eyes staring at me….just for you to be near me…..just to feel the warmth of your soul…..just to be beside you was enough reason to breathe….

Without you in my life ….is nothing……without you, I'm nothing……I'm just a soul that travels without a destination…..a lost soul in a darkened path with not light to follow….I can't even believe how stupid I am for leaving you Hikari…..Living without you is meaningless…..A world without you…..is more painful than death itself….please come back to me…..Yugi.

Normal POV

And as Yami sat near the window staring at the falling snow outside the Kame Game Shop, the phone suddenly ringed that made crimson-eyed teen snap out of his trance and went down to answer it.

When Yami finally made it downstairs, he picked up the phone and growled at the thought of talking to Kaiba since there are only two people who actually knew he's back at Domino. And it's probably Kaiba who's calling since Kaiba said that he'll check up on Yami once in a while, though for Yami its just away for Kaiba to annoy him.

"Hello, Motou residence…" Yami said considering he is a Motou by name ever since he was revived and became a part of the Motou family

"Hello Yami, this is Kaiba..." Seto Kaiba replied from the other line

Yami rolled his eyes in annoyance before speaking again

"This better be good Kaiba….cause I swear if your just calling to ask how I've been then I'm gonna kill you for good-"

"Well….considering you're threatening to kill me…maybe I shouldn't tell you anything about Yugi anymore" Kaiba said sarcastically

"Wait….you mean you have news about Yugi? Kaiba tell me what is it? Did something happen?" Yami said getting serious

"Relax Yami, nothing bad happened…well I hope so….but if you want to know…better come here at the mansion before I explain you everything…." Kaiba said before putting the phone down and hanging up on Yami

"Ra I swear, sometimes I just don't get how I became cousin with him in my past life" Yami said looking at the phone in his hand before putting it down and walking upstairs to his and Yugi's once room to change.

*one hour later*

Yami finally made it to Kaiba's mansion; he found Kaiba and Joey within one of the mansions living room patiently waiting for him.

Yami firmly entered the room and has announced his arrival by asking a question to Kaiba seriously

"Kaiba, now tell me what you have find out about Yugi? Have you fond out where he is?

"The answer to your question is yes and no." Kaiba said

"What do you mean by that Kaiba?! Will you answer me already and stop playing mind games with me!" Yami said getting irritated

"First, I want you to sit down and calm yourself before I explain my answer Yami." Kaiba said glaring

Yami glared back at the brunette before giving out a sigh and finally seated himself in one of the chairs in front of Kaiba

"Now tell me Kaiba what do you mean?"Yami asked once again facing the CEO with a glint of determination in his eyes.

Kaiba glance Joey's way as if asking something, and in return Joey quietly nodded before looking to Yami and said

"He called here a while ago Yami, he said that he has come back to Domino City" Joey said

"What! Really!! But where exactly is he?! Has he told anything else?!" Yami said excited of knowing that Yugi has returned and the probability of seeing his Hikari once again

"Hold it right there Yami, Yugi did called but he didn't actually told us where he is? The line was rather cut off or something….we are actually hoping that he might call again. That's why we called you here" Kaiba said studying Yami's reaction

"Mind telling me what he actually said…" Yami said slightly disappointed

Flashback

Kaiba and Joey was actually eating cakes and having tea for the fact that it was snowing and freezing outside. The couple decided to stay inside the mansion and spent sometime together while engaging in little conversation and more teasing and arguing.

The two were having an argument over how Joey eats some much when the phone suddenly ringed.

Kaiba stood up and picked the phone

"Who the hell is this-"Kaiba said before a chuckle came from the other line

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything Seto….how are you and Joey been doing?" A rich and lucid voice came from the phone

Seto Kaiba was rather caught of guard and took moments before finally recognizing the voice

"YUGI!!" Kaiba said looking shocked before looking at Joey who has obviously heard the shout of Yugi's name and was also shocked.

"Hai, Hai….but before you scold me and ask me where the hell I've been. Let me tell you first that I'm fine and have just come back here in Domino" Yugi said

"What!! You're really back at Domino little buddy!!" Joey shouted as he grabbed the phone from Seto

"Hi there Joey! Yeah I'm back and for good…" Yugi replied

"Great!! So where are you so Seto and I can pick you up?!" Joey said really excited in seeing his best pal

"Err….about that…I can't tell you yet, still have things to take care off" Yugi said sounding a little bit unsure

"But Yugi! Buddy what's wrong!?" Joey yelled

"Err….(sigh)…look Joey I have to go, I'll call you again okay-" Yugi said before the line was cut off and be replaced by the sound of dial tone

End Flashback

"And that's what happened before we decided to call you up and made you go here Yami" Joey said

"I see, do you think he' really okay? He seems in hurry when he you said that he hung up on you?" Yami said asking Joey

"Well, I hope so Yami. What I didn't get is why wouldn't he tells us where he is….or rather why hasn't he come back here at the mansion?" Joey said looking confused and a little bit worried

"Don't worry puppy, he'll be okay. And I'm sure we'll find out what the hell happened to him once he calls again or when we see him." Seto said looking softly at Joey

"I hope you're right Seto" Joey said

"Yeah….I hope you're right Kaiba" Yami added

Then moments later, the phone ringed again. Seto, Joey and Yami looked up at the sound before looking at each hoping that the call was from Yugi.

Seto quickly stood up and reached for the phone, behind him are Yami and Joey listening closely

"Hello, Kaiba mansion" Seto said in a business manner

"Hello Seto, It's Yugi again" Yugi said

(sigh) "Yugi, glad you could call again….we were expecting to hear from you again since you suddenly hung up on Joey" Seto said

"Umm….sorry about that. I didn't mean to hung up on him." Yugi said apologetically

"Well he's rather eager to talk to you so I guess I'll just put you on a speaker Yugi" Seto said placing the phone to the table in the center of the living room before pressing the speaker button and sitting once again in the couch.

"Now Yugi, before you say anything or before we ask you anything….I would like to inform you that someone else is here with us." Kaiba said out loud before looking at Yami

Yami was rather afraid or nervous to say anything considering that he left his Hikari a year ago. He was afraid at how Yugi would react knowing that he was there as well.

"Umm….okay. Who is it? Is it someone I know?" Yugi said sounding unsure

For a moment no one answered and kept quiet. Both Kaiba and Joey looked at Yami urging him to speak up and let his presence be known.

"Y-Yugi…Aibou….It's me Yami." Yami said sounding a little bit unsure

Nothing was said for a little while from Yugi's side and this made Yami think that the young Hikari was rather shocked or angry at him

"Look... Yugi I-"Yami said trying to explain or apologize

"I never thought that I would be hearing your voice ever again Yami. I never even thought of knowing that you would ever come back at Domino after leaving…" Yugi said sounding rather calm

"Yugi…I just misunderstood things. I didn't mean to-"Yami tried to explain his action

"I really don't want to hear your excuse over the phone Yami. The least that I would ask is for you is to tell me straight to my face why you left. It's not like I'll really believe to whatever your excuse is….but that's the least I expect from someone who turned his back and just left without a word." Yugi said sounding cold

Yami was taken back by Yugi's word but deemed that Yugi has the right to be angry at him and say those words after he left the young Hikari.

"I understand that the two of you has something to settle but I want to know where the hell you are right now Motou." Seto said seriously

Using my last name means you want my honest answer right Kaiba? Well….I'm at my new home right now. I was actually gonna invite you tomorrow once I settle some matters" Yugi said

"Well….were IS that new home of yours bud? I really want to see you…" Joey said while eyeing Yami, who has been quiet

"I believe you know the mansion of the Hiroshi's right Kaiba? It is where I am at this moment….and I wish for all of you to come here tomorrow….ummm before lunch? Would that be okay with you guys?" Yugi replied

"Sure I know where that is…but why are you there Yugi? Why not comeback here at the mansion with me and Joey?" Seto said

"Now, now Seto….that would take a long explanation. I'll answer all your question tomorrow okay….for now I have to go. Good Bye." Yugi said before putting the phone down.

"He's getting the habit on hanging up on us doesn't he?" Seto said before giving out a sigh

"So what do you plan on doing tomorrow? Do you really know this Hiroshi mansion?" Joey asked

"Well….he didn't gave us much of a choice but to go there tomorrow and find out what the heck happened to him. And yes, I know where the mansion is….in fact I have been there once during my childhood years." Seto said

"Well….how bout you Yami? Want do you plan on doing tomorrow….how do you plan on explaining things with Yugi….he's really upset you know." Joey said looking at Yami sadly

"I don't know Joey….maybe just tell him the truth and hopefully ask for forgiveness and hope that we can work things out again." Yami said closing his eyes in defeat

"Well…I suggest you stay here for the night so we can go there together-"Seto said before Yami cut him off

"No, I'll go home….I need to be alone and think things over with. I'll just see you tomorrow" Yami said finally opening his eyes before standing up and walking towards the door

"Okay, we'll pick you up at the game shop around eleven" Seto said before Yami could finally walk out of the room, leaving without any response.
