HxC: Wah! I completely forgot to tell you guys that the first couple of chapters might not have much going on between Yami and Yuugi, but fear not it will happen…eventually - jk.
SxC: You do realize that is not even remotely funny right?
HxC: You do realize that attitude might get you hurt one day right?
SxC: Hn…
HxC: Any who…I. Do. Not. Own. And before I forget in the beginning they are in America hence why I'm using most of the American names. Also there will be some confusion but it will all be explained as the story progresses. Enjoy!

Faded Past
Chapter 1 – Yuugi POV:
I woke with a start from the strange dream, or rather, faint memory. I do not really have many memories from that time mostly due to not wanting to remember. However, the one memory that is hard to forget is the one of snow and the mysterious woman. Although it is faded, I remember the cold, the hunger, the feeling of death seeping into my soul, and the coppery taste on my tongue. I was startled out of my thoughts by frantic knocking sounding from my apartment door and a deep voice yelling,
"Yuugi! Are you there! Open up!" I sighed 'there goes Yami.' I thought. I pulled a shirt on and answered the door with a,
"what is it?"
"Yugi, thank the gods you are alright!" was the confusing response. While I try to come up with an intelligent response, let me tell you about a few things. One, My name is Yuugi Mutou and I just recently moved into an apartment complex down the street from the game shop. Two, a few years ago Yami, also known as Atem, went to the afterlife after finishing his mission of defeating the dark one and returned a year later along with the two nut-jobs (i/e: Akefia and Marik).
Three, said two nut-jobs got together with two of my best friends and are as loveable as ever (HxC: Don't let the sarcasm hit you on your way out! (^_^)). And last but not least, I'm a vampire and said two friends and Yami found out about it last week and accepted it. Now back to my intelligent response,
"Huh?" Yami sighed in relief and said,
"I had the most horrible nightmare earlier and was under the impression that it really happened and became worried, so I came over to check on you; sorry about that." I blinked at the long explanation and asked,
"What was your nightmare about?" Yami blushed and replied,
"Well I dreamed about a small village covered in snow. I saw a giant black cloud hovering above the village like a miasma. I then saw you sitting in the snow beside a broken down house. Then a woman appeared and looked as though she was speaking, but no sound came from her mouth.
You looked as though you were having trouble breathing and the woman took out something and cut the side of her throat then she positioned your head at the same side she had cut. After a couple minutes, you looked like you had died and that is when I woke up." All throughout the explanation, I led Yami into the living room. By the end of the explanation, I had become pale and was silently freaking out. After a few minutes of silence I said,
"Yami I swear you must be psychic. Either that or the mind-link is still working." (*hint, hint*) Yami blinked and asked,
"Why do you say that?"
"Because those are the only explanations as to why we had similar dreams." Yami's head, which had lowered to look at the floor, snapped up and he stared at me with surprise shining in his crimson eyes. I became deep in thought about the woman's presence in my dream/memory. The feeling she had about her, I could only think about one thing that described it and her,
"Shinigami."
"Huh?" Yami had adopted a look of confusion, Which I privately think is cute, and I blinked at him then blushed and asked,
"I said that out loud didn't I?" Yami nodded and asked,
"What's a shinagamu?" (Mind you he's from Ancient Egypt not Japan) I smiled and corrected him,
"Shinigami, in japan they are gods of death or grim reapers if you will." Yami's eyebrow raised at that bit of information and asked,
"Like Anubis?" I pause a bit, to think, and finally said,
"Sort of, Anubis prepares the dead for the afterlife. Shinigami guide souls to the afterlife." Yami nodded and said,
"You know a lot about Japan."
"Considering that I'm from Japan, it shouldn't really be a surprise." Whatever Yami was about to say was cut off by the phone ringing.
HxC: I know I'm evil.
SxC: No you aren't I am.
HxC: You came from my mind so there. Anyway please tell me what you think. Ja-ne!
