DARKNESS CONSUMES THE LIGHT
by Sansi
Chapter 7: Emotional Basket
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
A sharp pain in his heart forced even theong ong pharaoh to his knees. Clutching the shirt on his chest and breathing through gritted teeth the darkness realised that something must have happened that caused his aibou to be separated from the puzzle. To add more bad news, the ancient ruler felt that Yugi’s soul was in danger, practically torn in two. His connection to the lighter half of his soul was slowly slipping away as Yugi was pulled into nothingness.
Any other light and darkness pair wouldn’t be able to feel this when the aibou wasn’t wearing the millennium item linking them. But through the years, Yami and Yugi had formed a bond that went far over friendship and the normal connection between a hikari and it’s yami. Why that was so, they didn’t know. But they assumed it was because they cared for each other deeply, much more than Bakura and Ryou and especially Marik and Malik did. Thus they couldn’t only speak to each other telepathically, but feel each other’s emotions and sometimes even perceive private thoughts as well.
The ache that was caused by the separation from Yugi and his millennium puzzle was dull in contrast to the dark emotions sinking into Yami’s sense from the lighter half’s mind. The emotions crashing on his consciousness were overwhelming, nearly knocking him out. But the stubborn pharaoh couldn’t let that happen or his aibou would be lost. Through the force behind the wave of dark thoughts he could make a few out. Loneliness … separation …hurt … self-doubt … anger … wish for salvation … love.
The last feeling caught Yami of guard. Love?! Love for whom? Who could his aibou love so much? Was reaction of his love the reason why he was giving up?
Deciding, that it was neither the time nor the place to think about this, he concentrated on his bond to his aibou to make out his location.

”Yuuuuuuuuuugggggiiiiiiiiii!” Joey screamed frantically, his hand still reaching out to the place, that his best friend occupied seconds ago.
Tea held her trembling hand over her mouth in shock and the white-haired hikari was about to faint. Even Tristan looked at the empty space horrified. What had happened? Where was Yugi? Was he ok? Questions along these lines raced through their heads, but all stayed unanswered.
The friends never noticed passer-by’s looking at them oddly or pityingly. The only thing they perceived, were 4 teenagers standing admits them in a crowded arcade with a look of horror on their faces. Slightly unnerved, but not really caring they went their way, ignoring the sad view. Though they had the feeling that they missed something deadly important.
The blonde was shaken, but the feeling drowned in guilt, nagging on Joey’s being. He didn’t help the hikari. Yami DID warn him! But NO, he wasn’t listening. YAMI! That was it!
”Yami! Yami!” Joey shouted over and over again.
Ryou, Tea and Tristan watched him sadly, thinking that the blonde was hallucinating. They comprehended how Joey was feeling or at least they thought they would. The friends felt it too. It wasn’t fair that they were losing two friends in such a short amount of time and without Yami they didn’t stand a chance to get Yugi back, IF he was still alive. Most probably Joey denied the truth, retreating in a world, where he was with Yami and Yugi.
Smiling sadly at the memory of the proud and brave pharaoh and his innocent and cute hikari, they knew to step in before they lose another friend, physically or psychically.
Tristan stepped forward, putting a hand on the blonde’s shoulder, showing him with that simple gesture that he wasn’t alone with his pain and that he still had friends left. It was a faint comfort, but a comfort nonetheless.
Tea, being the most sensible of them started in a soothing voice “Joey, its ok to cry … you don’t have to hide your pain. We all liked Yami and Yugi, but they are gone now. There was nothing we could have done.”
”You’re wrong, Tea. Yami told me that something was going to happen to Yugi, but I was sure he was mistaken. I would have prevented it, if I hadn’t been that stupid. It’s all my fault.” Joey answered bitterly.
The friends starred at each other helplessly. Now Joey thought the pharaoh had talked to him.
”Joey, you haven’t talked to Yami for weeks. It’s sad … but he is dead, remember?” Ryou spoke in his soft British accent.
”No, he isn’t. He came back a few days ago” the blonde commented, still oblivious to the fact that his friends thought he went mad.
”How?” Tea asked gaining puzzled looks from Ryou and Tristan. She just glared at them, daring them to comment. She was just playing along with Joey, hoping to help him if she did.
Before the last mentioned could explain, Yami was at their side, breathing heavily.
Tea’s eyes, along with Ryou’s and Tristan’s, were impossibly large while staring at the spirit of the puzzle.
Once he saw the spirit, Joey sunk to his knees, apologizing over and over again. He let both Yami and Yugi down. He wasn’t worthy to be called a friend.
Without a word, Yami pulled Joey to his feet, piercing him with his crimson eyes, daring him to glance away.
”Listen Joey! There was nothing you could have done! Stop blaming yourself!” the pharaoh demanded gently, but firmly. He wasn’t mad at he blonde, but at himself. It was his job to protect his hikari.
Joey nodded brokenly, adverting his eyes.
”And now, tell me what happened to Yugi!” Yami questioned urgently.
By the time, Ryou had picked the millennium puzzle up and handed it over to the former ruler, noting the forlorn look in the ancient spirit’s eyes. The fire of his red eyes was dimmed to a weak flame. It was a sad sight.
Seeing, that Joey wasn’t replying anytime soon Ryou informed the darker side of what had happened.
”Why are you here, Yami? How CAN you be here? How did you know this was going to happen and what will we do next?” the white-haired teen asked confusedly.
”I don’t have time for that, Ryou! Ask Joey. I have to find Yugi!” Yami answered annoyed and with the blink of an eye he was gone.
The friends, being used to the yamis’ mood changes, decided to go home. There was nothing they could do, anyway. Yami knew where to find them.

The pharaoh concentrated on his connection to his aibou and teleported himself to the place, or rather the dimension, where Yugi was. The puzzle of his Yugi … His Yugi?! Where did that come from? Anyway, the puzzle of Yugi was a big help, as it was eager to return to its master and therefore leading the way for the darkness. Probably the loss of the puzzle wasn’t that bad, but on the other hand the puzzle defended Yugi from attacks and without it … NO! he refused to think about it. He was going to find his aibou and bring him home unhurt! Everything is going to be alght.ght.
Yami found himself in pitch-black nothingness. Even he, a creature of the darkness couldn’t see in the dark fog. He hesitantly walked, only taking small steps. –I hate the dark. I truly do. It always makes me think about the time in the puzzle.-
Vaguely, he heard voices. “Yugi!” the yami shouted “answer me if you are here! Yugi”. No answer.
The voices grew louder, but he couldn’t make out the works. –They’re talking with somebody- Yami walked quicker, his feet taking him in a direction. Why he was running this way, he didn’t know.
Again, he heard the voices louder than before. Now he understood what they were saying and the darkness wished he didn’t. They were scolding somebody, telling them how worthless they were, not wanted by anyone, alone and forgotten, left alone.
By now, Yami was running, needing a confirmation for his presumption. And there on the ground was a small creature curled in a ball, weeping forth and back, begging the voices to stop.

Arainaina: A lot of people think the same way about Yami. 'How can he be that dumb?'. But believe me, he is really clueless, but he will learn it eventually! Thanks for reviewing!
Red Dragon of egypt: Thanks for the ear pluggs, but I didn't really need them. I just turned off my loudspeaker ^^. Well, I don't know much about the doom saga. Here in Austria, we impatiently wait for this saga. And I'm really looking forward the Memory world, but I'm unsure if I will long enough to see that day. They take way to long to broadcast new episodes! Though it made me happy that I can see a few short movies of future episodes on the janime site! Talk to you later tomodachi!
