AN: This one takes place a few hours after Pegasus takes Solomon's soul away.

Prepare yourself for angst, crying Yugi, plus being as he's younger in these drabbles of mine makes him more anguish.

Yugi: Age 6

Yami stared out the window with his arms crossed, he silently watched his aibou's friends leave, they walked down the street and out of sight.

They, at first, didn't want to leave Yugi all by himself at home, seeing as the only person around- Well the only living person around was recently taken away from him.

The spirit closed his eyes. Grandpa...

Why didn't he see what Pegasus was planning? He should have the minute he saw Pegasus's Millennium Eye, he should have realized that that man was not only there to simply duel the both of them.

No, he wanted their Millennium Puzzle, which Yugi wasn't planning on giving up, not without a fight he wasn't. Yami had to smile at that, though only at the young age of six his aibou had the heart of a warrior.

And Yugi was fighting for his other half, he was going to do everything he could to keep his dearest friend by his side. But as smart and skilled as he was, not even Yugi could have known that by saving Yami, he'd lose the man who took him when he felt so alone and afraid when he three years old.

Yami looked over at Yugi, who was fast asleep in his bed. He almost looked peaceful, if his other self didn't watch his aibou cry himself to sleep just only a few moments ago, he watched helplessly in the corner of the room as Yugi's friends tried their best to comfort the boy and say things were going to be okay.

I wish he had given our puzzle to Pegasus, losing me wouldn't be nearly as painful as losing the man who raised him. Seeing him like this, seeing the boy in this state, seeing him crying and sobbing, being completely unresponsive to anyone's act of reassuring him. It hurt him, and it hurt him deep, it made his heart ache and his eyes to become clouded with tears.

He glared at nothing, his frustration rising with each second. Yami chose then to disappear back into his Soul Room, he flopped down on his bed, mimicking what he often saw Yugi do when he was tired.

That snake! Yami thought out angrily, as he laid his arm a crossed his eyes.

Pegasus was going to regret what he did to his aibou. He wasn't going to win! He wasn't going to keep Solomon's soul, maybe when they arrived at Duelist Kingdom, he could convince Pegasus to return grandpa to his body in exchange for him. Their Millennium Puzzle is what he's really after, so would saying goodbye to his aibou, would giving himself up make any-

The spirit suddenly felt a sharp jolt of fear go through his chest. He shot forward and look around his dark and mysterious Soul Room, but found that nothing was amiss.

He placed a hand on his heart. "What was-"

"YAMI!"

The voice was so fear stricken, so desperate and broken that Yami couldn't help but freeze for a few seconds.

"OTHER ME!"

"Aibou!" Yami called out, realizing that the voice belong to his lighter half. Wasting no time, he ran out of his Soul Room and was in front of Yugi's in a matter of two seconds.

To his utter surprise, it was locked. Yami's eyes widened, their doors were never locked. He knocked in the door. "Yu-"

"YAMI!"

The shout that came from the other side of the six year old's room was more strained and desperate them before. He started to jiggle the handle as hard as he could, his thought process was on nothing else but getting the door open and getting to Yugi.

"Aibou! Please! Let me in!"

But the door wouldn't budge, it stayed shut, refusing to open. Yami listened as Yugi's cries grew louder and more broken the longer he was out here. His heart started to twist and shatter as he continue his assault on the door.

He squeezed his eyes shut, tears falling out of them as he leaned his forehead in the very thing that separated him and his 'brother'. "Yugi... Aibou!" He whispered, his voice cracking, he put a hand over his mouth to try and stop the sob that made it's way passed his lips

The spirit of the ancient puzzle slowly collapsed on his knees, he felt completely defeated, what was he suppose to do? if he couldn't get to Yugi then how was he going to help him?

"YUGI!"

-Then the door swung open, and out came his young friend.

Yugi fell against him in a fit of sobs and words that Yami couldn't make out. He cried and held onto his other self like his life depended on it. He buried his face in Yami's chest as he continued to sob.

Yami embraced the small, short child fiercely. He rubbed his back with his hand and used the other to run through the back of his spiky hair.

"Aibou-"

"Y-Yami! It was horrible!"

The spirit rested his chin on top of Yugi's head. "What happened, Yugi?"

At first, Yugi didn't say anything then-

"I-I was dueling Pegasus. But I was myself, I d-didn't let you take over. And when I ran out of t-time and lost the duel, not only did he take grandpa again, but he reached out and y-yanked the puzzle off my neck! He took you away from me too, Yami!"

Oh my aibou... I am so sorry.

"Please, don't leave me too, other me! Losing grandpa was too much- I feel guilty that I couldn't do anything to help, but I know we'll get him back, if I lose the Puzzle then I lose you forever! I c-can't, Yami. Not you too!"

Yami pushed away from Yugi and placed his hands on the boys cheeks. "Shh. Your not going to lose me." He whipped away Yugi's falling tears with the pads of his thumbs. "Aibou- Listen to me, I'm not going anywhere, I'll be by you always. I won't ever leave you."

Violet eyes meet violet eyes.

Yami continued his gently glided his thumbs a crossed his 'brother's' cheeks. "We will win, we'll get grandpa's souls back and you are going to continue to have me be right next to you."

"Other me..." Yugi gazed at his other half, hopefully, desperately wanting to believe he wasn't going to have Yami brutally taken from him, as the tears continued to fall.

"Y-You promise?"

Yami leaned his forehead against Yugi and closed his eyes. The six year old mimicked Yami, his tiny hands gripped the back of his protectors blue jacket, never wanting to let his 'older brother' go.

"Everything is going to be alright, aibou. I give you my word."
