DARKNESS CONSUMES THE LIGHT
by Sansi
Chapter 6: Mind�s darkness
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Darkness. That�s what he was, probably ever had been and ever will be, forever. A distant laugh, sounding regretful and insane at the same time. Funny, wasn�t it? How could a person, whose name meant darkness, be afraid of the shadows? A person who spent millennia in the never-ending night. Trapped in a puzzle, a holy Egyptian item. But how could the millennium puzzle keep its sanctity , when deep within the devil housed.
Once the shadow of a man had been a pharaoh, proud and regal. But what was he now? A spirit? A human, after all? Half of a soul? The darkness balancing the light? Or was he something that just existed between this world and the afterlife. He couldn�t find the right term.
His time as a pharaoh had passed and he was gained a second chance. For what you might asor cor correcting old mistakes? For saving the world? For living a new life in an other time? Thas aas another question he couldn�t answer.
But that didn�t matter anymore. He failed. He failed his hikari. His aibou. His unknowing source of existence. He hadn�t seen his lighter half�s need, leaving him when he needed him the most. Tainting his innocent light with his selfishness. Yes, that�s what he did. He dimmed his light with his dark thoughts. He committed the worst sin. Failing as a protector. A job he always took very seriously.
What to do now? Give up and return to the afterlife? Seal himself off? He was always the reason his his light was in danger or hurt. His enemies always wanted HIS puzzle and HIS power. That situation was no exception. Leaving was probably fhe bhe best. For Yugi. But what if he was going to make the wrong decision, again. His heart was screaming at his head. As a game master he always did what his brain was telling him. Probably he should trust his heart this time. He couldn�t risk losing his aibou. He still had a mission to fulfil and hopefully he wasn�t too late this time ...

�They said they were happy that I decided to tag along. Happiness. What a distant and unreal word. It seemed so long ago that I was really content. They assured me that it was his decision and that I had to accept that. I smiled at their words of comfort, which weren�t helping to lift my spirits or fill the empty place in my mind or my heart for the matter. Probably they will leave me alone and stop asking questions about my well-being. I can keep this fa�ade; I did it all the time. Being bullied and alone taught me this. I will smile and laugh for grandpa and my friends, because they wor eno enough about me.

I was never selfish in my life, always looking out for others. There was only one thing I wished for, or rather longed for. I hoped to have him by my side all the time. I�m not a child anymore and reality caught up really quickly, taking the only person from me that meant everything to me. And now I have nothing to live for anymore. How can I go on with only half of a soul?

But I will continue smiling, fooling them that I recovered, showing them that I�m over him,n ifn if deep down I�m not.�

Joey persuaded T�a, Tristan and Ryou to go with Yugi and him to the arcade, kicking some guys� butt as Joey called it. T�a didn�t know about Joey�s plan as did Tristan, but both felt that something was terribly wrong with Yugi. As long as Joey Yug Yugi, a good duel could always pull the little light out of the deepest depression, or so Joey hoped.

Joey noted relieved that Yugi moremore cheerful this day. He laughed and poked fun on his friends. Yami was wrong and worried too much - there was nothing wrong with his buddy. Time healed all wounds, as the old adage said.
Joey was pulled out of his thoughts as T�a and Ryou were standing in his way, worried expressions on their young faces. Meanwhile, Tristan was playing a motocross game with Yugi.
�Why do we have to come HERE, of all places, Joey!� T�a demanded, keeping here voice low so that nobody could eavesdrop. Though she was speaking quietly, Joey didn�t need to be a genius to detect the nuance behind her words.

Joey knitted his brows in deep thought before he answered, �Why do you ask? We always come here and Yugi loves duelling ��, but got promptly interrupted by Ryou �Very smart idea. Yami is dead for what � a few weeks � and you want him to duel again?�
�Yes. What�s wrong with it?� Joey was really at a loss of words. What did he wrong this time? Was picking up on good old Joey the thing to do these days?
�Oh and you don�t think that playing Duel Monsters won�t hurt Yugi further. You know as well as everybody of us that Yami and Yugi always duelled together. And now you expect Yugi to duel as if nothing ever happened� T�a hissed, her patience failing her.
Joey laughed at her �But look at him T�a! Ryou! He is fine!�
�Or so you think,� Ryou spoke with a hint of annoyance in his voice, something very outcharcharacter.
�What do you mean by that?�
�I�m sure that hejustjust playing this. Have you never heard that people who have lost a loved one tend to do that? Some people get angry or even violent, others cry and other people hide their pain�
T�a spoke up �Look at his eyes, Joey.�
All three of them turned to their friend, seeing him laughing about something. His face was smiling, but his eyes stayed blank, not supporting the cheerful expressioney sey shuddered at the lifeless gleam in them. He never saw his friend looking that hopeless before.
�You also forgot that Yugi and Yami a vea very special and at the same time complicated relationship, much as Bakura and me� Ryou continued, his glance glued downwards.
�You mean the yami of your ring? What do you have in common with Yami and Yugi?� Joey questioned perplexed. To take this two as an example was like comparingkneskness with light, but oh � that couldn�t be more fitting.

�That�s exactly what I mean. My yami wasn�t as compassionate as Yami, but still he was my yami. He balanced me in some ways. We never had an affectionate relationship like Yami and Yugi, but I still was shattered, when he was in the shadow realm. We both denied the fact, that we need each other, but with the time we realized our mistake.� Ryou took a deep breath and continued, still avoiding his friend�s eyes. �I still can�t forgive him for what he did in the past, but we both know that we can�t exist without the other. We are working on a more friendly relationship, but we still have yet to reach the lovely connection Yugi shared with his darker half. I hope you will now understand Yugi better.�
And Joey did. Moreover he felt stupid and guilty for not noticing it sooner. Yugi was his best friend and he didn�t see when the little light was hurt and even persuaded him to duel again! �I�m truly an idiot and a bad friend,� Joey thought angrily.
Taking a quick glance at his best friend, he saw something on the ground were Yugi stood. Dismissing it as a black spot he turned to T�a and Ryou, wanting to tell them about Yami�s return as they would be a better help for the pharaoh, but out of the corner of his eyes Joey saw something moving out of the ground. Utterly confused, he watched it more closely. Something reached out of the black substance and moved towards Yugi. One by one of the tentacles reached out and encircled the teen�s feet. Joey tried to scream, warning Yugi and the others, but unable to form words. He was too shocked to speak, opening and closing his lips like a fish in the water. Through Joey�s strange [even that was strange for Joey] behaviour T�a and Ryou watched what was Joey pointing at.
The hikari was nearly completely encircled by black, foggy tentacles. Though they were standing in the middlethe the arcade full with people, nobody seemed to see thcidecident. They were even walking through Yugi. The lighter half�s eyes lost their focus, starring at the ceiling instead.
Sprinting towards Yugi, the three reached out to pull him out of his prison. But before any of them could take a hold on him, the ground opened and pulled the hikari down. Only the golden Millennium Puzzle lay forgotten on gro ground, separated from it�s master.
