Chapter 5: Finding the truth?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
LAST TIME
�BROTHER! That�s it! I was like a part of his family. Joey, whatever Seto thinks about you! You are a genius!!! �� he exclaimed eedlyedly.
Joey watched him somehow anxious. What was the spirit up to?!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Yami�s somehow crazy mood frightened poor Joey badly. The spirit was always calm and composed and never showed his real feelings, especially in though situations. Nobody ever knew what he thought during a duel, not even Yugi and he was the other half of his soul, sharing not only body but mind too. The blond assumed that his regal behaviour had something to do with his past life as pharaoh and his title �The King of Games�.
Despite his mind telling him to NOT ask him, Joey�s curiosity got the better of him. �What do you mean by that?� he declared his inner thoughts at last.
Yami, coming down from his cloud, turned to his friend with a somewhat maniac grin, confirming Joey�s hypothesis that the former pharaoh had gone mad.
�You don�t understand?� the darkness replied, seemingly amazed by the remark. He turned his attention to Joey, making the other sigh in relief as he saw the old Yami coming back. Joey nodded.
�You said that Yugi and I were like brothers, which means we were like a family. We already know that aibou apparently doesn�t need a friend; otherwise our plan with Ryou must have worked. That means that I would have to give him another brother.�
Joey�s mouth hung open in shock. He wants to give Yugi a brother! Is he nuts?!?! Massaging his temples to get rid of the headache forming he said bluntly what he thought. �Did you hit your head or something? How can you give him a brother? You know the story with the bee and the flower isn�t true.�
The usual cold mask was back on the pharaoh�s face, showing that he wasn�t a bit amused by this declaration. But Joey being Joey didn�t see that he was skating on thin ice. Probably he was just lucky that the ruler regarded him as a friend or else he would visit the shadow realm for a long time.
�I wasn�t finished speaking.� Yami continued, his crimson eyes darkening. Joey wisely kept his mouth shout this time. Sometimes he knew what was the best for his own well-being. �I know that I can�t give him a brother, but there is another family member who means a lot to him. If I can convince Solomon to spend more time with his grandson, Yugi won�t think about me anymore. The answer is to keep him busy with his friends and guardian so he can�t dwell in his depressive thoughts.�
Joey didn�t answer and looked at the pharaoh with a look that clearly said �You-really-think-that-will-work?-Then-you-have-another-think-coming�
�And as you didn�t seem to believe me, I�m going to tao Soo Solomon myself� Yami sulked while looking at the watch over the door. �Don�t forget that you are going to meet Yugi tomorrow� were his last words, before he vanished.
Being alone in the apartment, Joey sighed sadly. He knew that Yami didn�t mean to be so harsh, as did Joey, but he doubted that the spirit�s plan would work. Yugi was still in danger and if his other half won�t find out soon what was wrong with him, there wouldn�t be a chance to rescue his buddy.

XXXXXNEXT DAY AT THE GAME SHOPXXXXX
�YUGI!!! Are you ready? You�re going to meet the gang in a half an hour!� Solomon Mutou shouted upstairs. As always his shout was unheard or at least unanswered. Sighing sadly - he did that a lot lately - he went in the living room, thinking about the last weeks. His only grandson was depressive, there was no doubt about it. Yugi hardly eat or talked and as far as Mr. Mutou could tell he didn�t get much sleep either.
He knew the cause, of course, he couldn�t possibly not know. The hikari took Yami�s departure hard. When he had said goodbye to his other half nearly a month ago, Yugi had done his best to keep his tears in check. Solomon wasn�t blind or stupid, he knew that they meant much to each other, probably even more than they realised themselves. All this time they were so close and the sudden separation caused them much heartache. Yugi�s grandpa didn�t know the spirit very well, but he assumed that it broke the pharaoh�s heart when he bid his hikari farewell.
At first the old man thought that Yugi would recover, but now weeks after that fateful day, Yugi hadn�t shown any signs of getting better and he slowly realized that there will never be one.
�I�m going to meet the others grandpa. I will be back soon. Bye� Yugi�s voice startled the old man and before he could respond the young man was out of the door. As always the little light avoided his grandfather, as the old man would surely ask how he felt. Feeling slightly better as his grandson finally started to see his friends again, he made his way to the shop. They were finally making some progress.
�Solomon� an oddly familiar voice near caused him a heart-attack. �Who is there?� Yugi�s grandfather asked frightened, looking around the room frantically, but spotting no soul.
�It�s me, Yami� and then suddenly the figure of the proud pharaoh appeared a small distance away from him. The pharaoh bowed respectfully.
�Yami? But how could that be?!� Mr. Mutou asked disbelievingly.
�I had to come back. Yugi is in great danger and I need your help, Mr. Mutou!� the darkness blurted things out. The old man was more than a little surprised by the lost spirit�s turn up, but there was no doubt that this was his grandson�s other half. The way he stood there with the regal air around him and the worry about his aibou; this was Yami.
�Anubis allowed me to come back to save my hikari from the darkness. Yugi will die and the world will be destroyed unless my hikari stops dwelling on my death.�
�Do you have a plan?� Solomon asked, sounding serious, because the ancient pharaoh never joked about important matters.
�I tried to give him a friend, another soul mate, if you want to call it that. But we failed ��
�Who is we?�
�� Joey agreed to help me � and then Joey said that I was like Yugi�s brother and so I thought you could spend more time with him �� the darker half explained, but got interrupted by Solomon�s laugh.
Looking perplexed by the sound, Yami stopped.
�Are you really that dumb, Yami? I thought you were the King of Games for a reason,� he said mockingly, giving him the same look as Joey, telling him without words that he didn�t give his plan a chance.
Yami �mphed�, but didn�t comment further. -Who do they think they are? They can�t speak with me like that �- With his nose up in the air, the pharaoh looked like a little spoiled brat that was denied something.
�Sit down and listen, Yami. I will explain something to you. Probably you will understand Yugi better afterwards,� Solomon demanded gently. If he found a way to knock some sense in the ruler, there would be hope for Yugi after all. Thought that wasn�t an easy task as the teenage-ruler was more stubborn than a donkey.
The shadow did as was he was told, his arms crossed over his chest, looking expectantly at Yugi�s guardian. Yugi was always his weak spot and this old man made use of that shamelessly.
�Yami �� Solomon Mutou began, �You two, Yugi and you, ARE halves of the same soul. How can you think that anyone at all could take your place? There are no substitute soulmates out there. You only have one! You can�t just take Ryou or me, for that matter, to replace you. Think about all the time you spent with each other, the battles you had to fight and the memories only YOU TWO share.� The wise old man paused, looking to see any reaction. But the pharaoh�s face stayed blank.
�Don�t tell me you took your separation from Yugi easy. I know you felt the pain too, but his pain was more intense for different reasons.� This caught the shadow�s attention.
�You chose death over l A l A life with your friends. A life with him. He always had self-doubts, but then you came and gave him self-confidence, support and friendship. Yugi was crushed when you left, you know that much. But I think you can�t imagine the real reasons.�
Yami by the time felt really uncomfortable in his seat. �Is there more behind that I thought? I believed that he was only sad, because I was his friend-
Noting the darker half�s change in behaviour, Solomon felt that he was getting through to him. A good sign, a good sign indeed!
�He began to doubt himself again, thinking that he chased you away with his weakness and crying. But worst of all he thought that you were disgusted with him �� the old man was sharply interrupted by the former pharaoh, who jumped out of his seat. He snapped when Solomon reached the word crying, not hearing the last interrupted sentence.
�Why should he think I would turn away when he cries? I never gave him a cause to think so. And he isn�t weak! People take advantage of his innocence, his kindness and his helpfulness �� Mr. Mutou couldn�t catch anything after that. Yami was to indignant to talk perspicuous, only mumbling to himself.
�Yami! Calm down! I wasn�t donet. Yt. Yami!!!! You need to hear the rest� Solomon touched the ruler�s shoulder to calm him, but Yami kept shouting, cursing himself for his foolishness.
�I know what you are getting at. You don�t need to tell me any more. I understand that you only wanted to help, not charging me, but see the truth, Solomon, EVERYTHING IS MY FAULT � and I can�t understand what Yugi sees in me!� he shouted out in fury and Yugi�s grandpa could have sworn there were tears in Yami�s eyes.
But before he could say anything to help Yami, he was gone.
�You are wrong, Yami! You don�t know what I was getting at. You got me complete wrong,� The wise old man said wishfully, sadly.
