A/N:*Errr.. Another shot at a YGO fic . My last didn't go over well.. Hehe. It's called 'Another Yami' read and see what I'm talking about. Hell, Even I think it's bad. I just haven't got around to revising it yet. So, this is yaoi. I promise I'll do a cute Tea/Yami or Tea/Yugi fic when I'm done for all you flamers! One more thing, Yami Bakura will be known as just Bakura and nice Bakura as Ryou. Yami Malik will be Ishtar and regular Malik will be Malik. Me as the author will make random appearances. Get it? Got it? Good. The spell doesn't work on this but I think I caught most of my mistakes

Warnings: some characters are OOC AU, Yaoi, lime, cursing, And maybe a little Angst. Yugi's just a tad mean in the beginning but he turns out alright

Pairings: Bakura/Ryou, Ishtar/Malik, Yugi/Yami, Jou/Seto

Disclaimers: I don't own any of the YGO people. But I do own this plot.

'thoughts' "speaking" (whispers)

Prolog

'It's darkest before dawn in my kingdom'. These, my friends, are the words of a boy. Not just any boy mind you, but a boy with elemental control. He controlled the power of The Darkness, the blackness that crept into children's dreams. But this. poor child was lonely. He wanted a friend. But who can love the son of Death himself?

'No one.' Thought the boy. 'No one wants me here. So why should I stay?'

The boy was surrounded in semi-total blackness. Almost like being consious and asleep at the same time. But he could here nothing from the outside world. He was dreaming... that must've been it. A strange light in the distance seemed to taunt him, goad him into coming closer to it so they both would meet in the middle. Slanted eyes darted around. The light was closer than it was the alst time he looked. It seemed as if it would creep foreward unnoticed, like a blood thirsty predator stalking its prey. This boy was the prey. The light came closer...and closer, until it was nearly upon him. He reached out one tentive hand and was engulfed.

The light was strong and overwhelmingly powerful. It almost blinded the boy. He squinted into the light and saw a pair of pale violet eyes. The eyes watched him intentavly, as if looking for some mistake, some...imperfection. It obviously didn't find any because it spoke.

"Yami, come to Nova. I await you there."

~*~

Yami bolted upright in a cold sweat, His breathing was ragged and uneven.

"That dream..." The light, the darkness, the eyes, the voice... it all semmed so familiar to Yami, but vauge at the same time.

'Strange,' he thought, 'That has never happened before.'

Yami shook his head to clear his thoughts and pushed the silk sheets back. He stood and stretched. Oblivion Castle was his home. One of the eight kingdoms in the land of Ultima. Each kingdom had an element that powered it. Oblivion's was the element of darkness. Yami was a prince. His father was a king. King Daemon was this tyrants name. Yami's father was the most severe of the eight kingdoms.

'Maybe a little too severe.' Yami thought acidly as he dressed in his leather attire for the day. As he walked through the drafty halls he has the oddest feeling that he was being watched. He shook his head, and continued walking.

He arrived in the great hall with in minutes and was greeted by his mother and father.

"Good morning, darling!" His mothers clear tenor rung out through the almost empty room as she stood and walked to her son. Her long blond hair fanned out behind her like a cloak of near whiteness.

"Did you sleep well?" She laid a gentle kiss on his forehead.

"Yes I did mother, thank you." He smiled and she laughed

"Katrina! Stop babying the damn child! I will have no son that is weak." His father was in a foul mood.

'I wonder why...' Yami thought idly. He decided to ask.

"Father," he began tentavly, "What has happened? You are unusually angry today."

Daemon glared at his son.

"You will be going to the kingdom of Nova today. You will speak to the prince. No one else."

Yami gasped softly. 'Nova? That's the place the violet eyes told me to go.'

"Dear?" Katrina asked softly, "Are you alright? You were in a daze."

Yami shook his head, "I'm fine, mother. I was lost in my thoughts."

Yami's father continued, "You leave this morning. The carriage is in the front gates. Leave, boy. Come home whenever you please."

He turned his head. Yami was used to this. His father hated him at times it seemed. His mother grabbed Yami's hand.

"I'll walk you to the gates, dear." She gave his hand a tug. Yami shook his head.

"Mother, you've no need to do that. I am perfectly capable."

Katrina let go of his hand and pulled her son into a loose embrace.

"Be careful," She whispered into his ear, "I hear that the king of Nova is up to no good. You will most likely be going to the other kingdoms as well. But I am not sure. Good luck, my son."

Yami nodded and walked through the doors of the dinning hall. He walked slowly through the winding corridors. Again he felt as though he was being watched. A gentle laugh made him turn.

"Who's there?"

The Voice laughed again. Piercing blue eyes looked straight at him from the shadows.

"I?" The voice taunted, "I have come to warn you, Yami of Oblivion." The 'Voice' stepped from the shadows. A boy stood there of about Yami's age. Chestnut hair fell almost gently in his blue, blue eyes. But it was a façade. This boy had power and he was anything but gental.

"I am Seto, Prince of Blizzage, the neighboring Ice kingdom. The boy you are going to see in Nova is Yugi. The other Princes will be there, in Nova as well."

Yami waited for the boy to continue.

"Jou from Inferno. Bakura from Shocker. Ryou from Watara. Malik from Quaker. And Ishtar from Cyclone. Half of them are evil and the other half are not."

Yami looked at Seto questioningly, "I am confused. What does any of this have to do with me going to meet Yugi?"

Seto sighed, "You are impossible. For example, I am Prince of Ice and Jou is Prince of Fire. Our elements oppose one another but we are meant to be. You and Yugi are the same way. It's ironic really. The opposing elements are meant to be in order to create the land of Ultima."

"Ah," Yami thought for a momment, "I thought we were already the land of Ultima?"

Seto shook his head, "None of us are under the same ruler. How can you be a whole if you are in pieces? Or...Dear Yami, how can a white heart exists without a black."

Yami snorted, "You speak in riddles. Black? White? Nonsense."

Seto raised a brow, "Is it? Is it really the nonsense you say it is? Things will become clearer in time, dear Yami. Adieu for now."

With that Seto disappeared, "Wait!!" Cried Yami. It was too late. He had already left.Yami was utterly confused. Light? Dark? They will become clearer...

'I would hope so.' Though Yami irritably

He arrived at the gate and was greeted by a familiar face.

"Why hello Shadow. What brings you here?"

Shadow laughed, "I have to escort you until we arrive in Nova. By carriage it takes about two hours. I suggest you rest up on the way there."

Yami laughed along with Shadow, "You haven't changed a bit. Still trying to act like my mother."

Shadow mocked bowed, "Shall we leave, My Fair Prince?"

Yami nodded, still smiling, "Yes we shall."

Shadow opened the door of the black carriage and Yami climbed in. He looked at the always-black sky and sighed.

'I wonder if the sky is white in Nova...'

The carriage set off. Yami laid his head back on the soft cushions and closed his eyes.

'Perhaps I will sleep.' And he drifted off.

~*~

Blackness surrounded him yet again.

'Why is it always blackness?' He wondered

" Because that is what you are." Said a soft angel like voice from the darkness.

"Who are you? Why are you doing this to me? I have enough problems with out talking to voices in me head."

The voice sounded surprised, "Didn't Seto explain it all? You are the Darkness...And I," The Voice got closer, "Am the light."

Yami turned and gasped at what he saw. A boy that looked almost identical was staring at him with...Violet eyes.

"The amethyst eyes in my dream. That was you. You are Yugi. The one Seto told me of."

Yugi nodded, "So he did see you after all. He said you were a bit dense and didn't quite understand." Yugi looked him over with apparition, "You are a piece of work. Mmm... Just like Seto said. Your gorgeous."

This caused Yami to blush at the white leather clad youth. Yugi took an abrupt step foreword, catching Yami off guard, and kissed him. Yami's eyes widened in shock. This boy... That was in his dream was kissing him! It felt so real. So right. Yugi melted in to the taller boy and moaned when Yami nipped his bottom lip. Yami's tongue slid inside Yugi's warm cavern and Yugi shuddered. Yugi's arms found there way around his waist. He clung to the other as if he was a lifeline. Yami was forced to pull back. Yugi's eyes were glazed over in passion.

"My, my Yami. You've had practice. I'm glad to call you my own."

Yami glared, "Your own? I am not yours! You have no right to claim me!"

Yugi sighed and hugged Yami. He stiffened.

"Yami. You're my darkness. I need you as much as you need me. Please do not push me away just yet."

Yami grunted, "Get off." Yugi looked as if were going to cry. "I'm sorry, Yugi. But I think I have to wake up. You can cuddle me when I get there." Yugi smiled and detached himself.

Yami began walking toward a light that kept getting brighter and brighter.

"Yami?" He turned and Yugi giggled, "Wake up silly."

So he did.

~*~

Yami was stirred from his sleep by shaking.

"Wake up Yami! We're here."

Yami blinked at Shadow, "Already? Wow..."

Shadom shook his head and smiled, " I tried to sleep but you kept moaning the name 'Yugi'."

Yami blushed, "Oh really? Hehehe. Come, Shadow. Enough nonsense."

Shadow opened the door and hopped out first. He offered his hand to Yami who ignored it.

"Nonsense? I think you should get some before you leave here." He winked.

Yami glared, "I can take it from here, Shadow. You may leave. Tell my mother I arrived safely."

Shadow nodded, "As you wish. Bye Yami. Have fun." Shadow got back in to the carriage and it drove off. He stood there looking at the white sky.

"Beautiful... I've never seen anything like it." Said Yami in awe.

"Yami!!!" In a blur of white leather, Yugi jumped on Yami. "Hello, love." Yugi kissed his nose.

Yami groaned, "Ow."

"Yugi get off of our guest. I think you've hurt him."

Yami recognized that voice, "Seto." He nodded curtly from the ground. He picked Yugi up and set him by himself. Yugi slid an arm around his waist.

"I didn't know you knew the Oblivion Prince, Yugi."

Yugi nodded, "Yep! I invaded his dreams. I told you that, Jou."

Jou laughed, "So THAT'S Yami! Wow...He's hot." Seto thwapped him, "Sorry!! Owww. Man Set, be gentle. I'm fragile y'know."

Seto made a rude sound, "Fragile my ass. Shall we go?"

Yami nodded, "We shall."

They walked to the giant white Nova castle.

'I wonder if it gets dark before dawn.' Thought Yami. 'Most likely not. It's like I'm in heaven.'

None of them realized the blood red eyes that followed them.

'Soon, My Prince, soon.'

Beta notes-
First of all, there are far too many sentences where you have periods instead of using commas. Don't be afraid to use commas even if you think it may be a run on sentence. Periods make things choppy, while commas make the actions flow.
Second, reread sentences. There are some places that don't make sense. More often than not it's the brain thinking faster than your fingers can type it out. Check to make sure it flows and is understandable.
Other than that you have a pretty decent fic going for you.
