Life isn't fair. If it was I'd own Yu-Gi-Oh!

Me: hello! First of all I would like to say sorry to anyone I upset with my bad language at the end of the last chapter. But it is PG13 and I did say it had mild swearing!

Yugi: I hope we didn't upset anyone!

Yami: (still behind sofa) the doom bikers upset me but no one seems to care!

Me: (rolls eyes) well we can't help you unless you tell us what they did to upset you!

Yami: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I can't tell you!

Me: (climbs behind sofa) Did they hurt you Yami?

Raphael: (from another room) Yami? Why don't you come and play with us?

Yami: Agghh!

Joey: (sigh and rolls eyes) are you two gonna answer the reviews from behind there?

Me: I don't see why not.

Mellinde: ooo, aren't you clever? It isn't exactly a Seto/Joey relationship, just Yami jumping to conclusions and me thinking they look cute together.

Yami Adritha: thanks Y. Adritha! Well one guess is defiantly right! You'll just have to wait to find out!

Astart: I knew they would be cute! Yami: No it isn't cute! Not at all! Me: I know you'd like it really Yami. Anyway part of your answer is right but I can't stick girl/girl pairings. There is no offence meant to anyone by that I just don't write about them. I don't get why everyone hates Tea! She's nice! And yes I did create the angels.

Kkwy: Well what do you think she did?

Dark-Lady-Devinity: Hi ya D-L-D! Kissing Varon! The doom characters aren't even in this fic! Half way there though. Tristan and his assumptions! Hehehe! You do know why you shouldn't assume don't you?

Sabey: hi girl! Well I don't know about kissing a woman but one guess is right! Here have a cough sweet! (Gives cough sweet.)

Ranchan11: Lol! Hello! Wow, someone didn't guess the answer! I like them as a couple too. Poor you having to work until 1 in the morning! My brother is obsessed with Aladdin and he is 17! Then again he is called 'Joey' which just about says it all!

InuhanyouFireSit: Thanks! Glad you like the story!

Me: wow! What a lot of reviews! Dedications: Mellinde, Yami Adritha, Sabey. I'm not sure if anyone reads this part of the story so if you do please review the story and put the word 'coconut' at the end!

Yami: The doom bikers are gonna get me!

Me: (sigh) when are you going to get over this Yami…… (Voice fades out)

Chapter 11

The Void

Normal P.O.V.

Joey was frozen to the spot. He couldn't believe his eyes. Through the window of the café across the road he could see Mai sitting opposite a boy about the same age as Joey with brown hair. And they were kissing! As he watched, the boy moved back and got up. Joey followed the boy with his eyes as he got up and came outside to answer his ringing phone.

Joey was never quite sure why he didn't just run away. He wanted to cry. He wanted to punch the boy in the face. But looking again another thought came to him. Maybe this boy didn't know about him. Maybe he thought he was the only one Mai was dating. Still he had to say something, so he crossed the road and leant against wall waiting for the boy to finish his phone call.

"Alright. Bye." The boy hung up.

"Excuse me." Joey called out to the boy, who turned to face him.

"Are you talking to me?" His voice was more like Yugi's than Joey's.

"yes." Joey thought of how to say this. "Well… I think you are on a date with my girlfriend." The boys face froze in horror.

"I knew it." He whispered to himself.

"Knew what?" asked Joey.

"She's been acting weird for a while now. And one of my mates said he saw her kissing another man in town." So this boy was as clueless as Joey about this.

"How long have you been going out for?" Joey needed to know the answer.

"About a month." The boy mumbled.

"Same as me den." Joey was horrified that Mai could ever do something like this to him.

"I can't believe this." Apparently the two boys thought alike. So Mai had lied to both of them.

"Are we just gonna let her get away with dis?" The boy seemed confused by Joey's question.

"I don't know. Are we?" Joey smiled at him.

"No we are not." He said firmly. "First off I need to know your name." the boy stared at Joey for a moment.

"It's Tom." He replied eventually. Joey smiled at Tom.

"Well then Tom, I think I gotta plan."

Mai was sitting in the café. She knew she was supposed to meet Joey soon but she also knew she could just tell him something important had come up at the last minuet. He'd believe anything I told him! The worst thing was she didn't even feel sorry about what she was doing.

While she was thinking, Mai noticed Tom come in and sit down.

"So who was on the phone?" Mai asked casually.

"Just a friend." Tom was looking at Mai very oddly.

"What is it?" Mai then jumped out of her skin when she felt two arms wrap round her shoulders. She spun around to see Joey standing there.

"How ya feelin'?" He asked coolly.

"Err…" Mai knew she'd had it now

"Me and tom were just talking…" Joey started.

"And we decided…" Tom continued.

"YOU'RE DUMPED!" Joey and Tom shouted this together and then ran out of the café laughing, leaving Mai in a crowd of onlookers.

Yami's P.O.V.

I could have died from embarrassment. I groaned lightly as I removed my hand from Bakura's knee and used it to cover my face. Through the gaps in my fingers I could see Bakura doing something similar and Tristan sitting down and handing out the drinks.

"It's nothing to be ashamed of." He sighed with a hint of humour in his voice. "If you like Bakura then you like Bakura. Its obvious to see and you shouldn't hide it."

"I don't like Bakura!" I screamed.

"Yami honestly!" Tristan rolled his eyes. "You were kissing in the corridor, and you had your hand on his leg just now!"

"Shut up!" Bakura was stopped from doing anything else by the waitress coming over with our food.

-

After lunch we headed back to the hospital to see Yugi. Apparently he had started to scare some of the nurses by being so silent. Grace didn't mind though.

"I've seen far worse." She told us while checking Yugi over. "I've seen a child so badly abused, he'd cry every time someone came into his room. I've seen a girl who hid under the blankets and refused to come out. But they got better and Yugi will too." I knew she was right but didn't stop me from worrying. I'm not sure how it happened but at some point me and Bakura were left alone in the room with a sleeping Yugi.

Bakura lent back in his chair stretching.

"God Yami, can you remember when I found out about these dreams?" I grinned at the memory.

"Yeah. That was crazy."

Flash back

Normal P.O.V.

Yami slowly opened his eyes. It took him a moment to realise that he was in a position that he shouldn't have been in. He was lying on his right side with his left hand under his cheek and his right arm spread away from his body. Just as he was struggling to figure out how he got there he felt something pushing against his chest. There was only a little force behind it and it didn't hurt but he instinctively rolled away from whatever it was so he was lying on his back with one arm either side of him.

When his eyes finally focussed he gasped at what he saw. Bakura was standing above him. He had one foot on Yami's chest to hold him there. There still wasn't any pressure behind it, but it reminded Yami that the tomb robber could stop him from going anywhere if he wanted to. Then Bakura opened his mouth and said something that Yami had never expected to hear from him.

"Are you alright?" Yami gasped. He had never thought that Bakura would ask me if I was O.K. I needed to answer him all the same. But he was saying something else now.

"I know it's a stupid question but, you're alright yeah?"

"I-I'm fine." Whispered Yami scared of what Bakura might have planned. Bakura smirked and for a second Yami saw a flash of the Bakura who had once beaten him up. What hurt the most is that they had been friends.

"You're nothing but a little liar Pharaoh. No one can get beaten up this bad and be fine." Bakura then removed his foot from Yami's chest but instead, he knelt down, one knee either side of Yami and pined the young pharaoh's wrists above his head, holding them to the ground. Yami had gasped at the sudden movement.

"Now." Snapped Bakura. He was being careful not to hurt Yami but didn't want him running away either. "You are going to stay exactly where you are and you aren't going anywhere until you have told me exactly what happened to you and who did it. And bear in mind, I don't like to be lied to." Yami gulped. For a second Yami thought about lying, but he knew that Bakura would know. So he told him the truth. And what surprised him was that Bakura actually listened. When he was finished Bakura smiled.

"I knew we were friends Yami." This took Yami by surprise so much he nearly stopped breathing.

"You knew?" Bakura nodded. "Why in Ra's name didn't you say!"

"Two reasons." Bakura shifted his weight slightly. "One I only found out about a week ago and two I didn't think you knew, I thought you wouldn't want to be friends now." Yami smiled up at the now blushing tomb robber.

"Alright then Bakura friend again, can you get off me and help me up?" Bakura smiled at Yami's question.

"In a minute." He then moved his hands from Yami's wrists and ran them up and down Yami's arms. When he had finished with his arms, Bakura ran his hands over Yami's chest and sides. Yami couldn't hold it in any longer and let out a snort of laughter.

"What are you doing?" he spluttered.

"Checking for broken bones."

"Oh."

There was a moment of silence.

"Well, you're ribs feel pretty badly beaten but I don't think there are any breaks. Your left hip feels a bit weird, it might be fractured but I'm not sure. You should probably take it easy for a bit. Come on!" He then got off of Yami and pulled him to his feet. "Oh and, Yami?"

"Yes?"

"Tell me if you have any more dreams."

End Flash back

Yami's P.O.V.

"Yeah I know!" Bakura started laughing too. I suddenly had a very bad thought.

"Bakura if you had known how many dreams I'd have, do you reckon you still would have wanted to know?" Bakura looked shocked that I'd ever ask that question.

"Of course I'd still want to know! You're my friend!" Bakura smiled even more. We were stopped from going any further with the conversation because then grace came in.

"I'm very sorry boys but I'm afraid you will have to go home now. We need to do more tests on Yugi." I looked at the sleeping boy. The angels had healed his wounds but he still hadn't spoken properly and he was starting to get scared easily.

"Alright." I sighed. "It will help him to get better." But before I left the room, I went over to the bed and placed a gentle kiss on his forehead.

Normal P.O.V.

After Yami left the hospital and said good bye to his friends, he went home to the game shop. His grandpa was out somewhere so he was alone. He didn't need to open up the shop so he had some time to do whatever he liked. He tried to go to sleep but he was too worried and nervous about something he couldn't place. In fact the whole house felt different. It was almost like someone else was there.

After a while Yami decided to have a shower. As he was standing in the shower he was mentally listing all the things he could have on his mind that would make the house feel seem so out of place. There was Yugi, but that wouldn't make the house feel weird, his dreams, maybe, Serena,

"Yami." The whisper was quiet but Yami heard it. He quickly turned off the water. Trembling with fear, Yami got out of the shower and pulled on his clothes. He had never felt so badly frightened. The bathroom was empty but the voice had sounded like someone was standing right behind him. The hallway was clear too, feeling worse with every step he took, Yami entered the kitchen. He was about to turn around and leave the room when it happened.

It was suddenly like someone had thrown a bucket of icy water over him. It made him gasp in shock. There room was suddenly no longer there leaving him standing in an empty black void. Not just shut your eyes black. Pure black. Worse than night, worse than space, this was the black of complete nothingness. This is stupid. Yami thought. The kitchen table is right there next to me. Yami reached out with one hand. The table wasn't there. Shaking he stretched his arm out and still nothing. Felling around on both sides of him Yami realised that the reason there was total blackness, was because there really was nothing there. But then Yami had the sensation of rushing back into his body, like being released from a catapult. Yami fell to the ground, and the ground is exactly where he stayed.
