Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Rain and Fire ❯ Days Gone Past ( Chapter 2 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

Mono: ^_^ Yay!! I love people who review! They are the best in the world!!!

Kani: Looks like someone found the Cokes in the fridge... *Sigh* Okay, heres the deal. Mono and I do not own Yugi or any other characters. If we did well, then things would be verrry different around here. *Thinks about leather, whips and handcuffs*

Mono: Enough Hentai thoughts Kani! O.o What are you doing?

*watches as Kani digs through the fridge and pulls out the last few cokes.*

Mono: O.O NOOOOOO!!!!! NOT THE COKES!!! I NEED THOSE!! GIVE THEM BACK!!! *runs after Kani waving a large dagger.*

Kani: It's for your own good! Now start the gursh darned story already!

Mono: one more thing: There is a little bit of cursing in this chapter, so don't sue me saying I didn't warn you. This message is for all you Party-poopers who get their underware in a wad when they read things they don't like. One question: *glares at everyone* WHY IN THE WORLD DO YOU READ THIS STUFF IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT?!?!?!?! *Pulls out he evil-reader voo- doo doll and starts sticking various pointed objects in places that will remain unamed. Trust us, ya don't wanna know...*



"I just don' understand. Why won' he talk to ya? I mean, you guys are like soul mates or somethin'. Right?"
The tall and annoying blonde sat backwards in his desk chair, talking to his friend.
"It's not that simple Jou. He obviously doesn't want to talk."
Not that I'd blame him with the way that we treated him. *Sigh* How could he just go like that though? That's just not like him.
[But what if it is. How do you know anymore?]
The little voice in the back of his mind reasoned with him.
HeHe wouldn't just abandon his Jisan, would he?
[How would you know though? He only left you a note, and no one else. And what about that mess with all of the Duel Monster cards? You know that the only card that wasn't there was The Dark Magician. Now think about that.]
Oh go away!
Yami stared at the floor, not wanting to listen to the voice of reason in his head. He knew it was right though. Even though the police had deemed it as a runaway case, he had hoped that they were wrong. He didn't want something horrible to happen to his Hikari, butthat would be easier than to know that he had chased him away.
He had ignored his innocence, and then he had lost him.
I let him get away. I don't even deserve this life! It's his life, just like he said when he left


He heard the door slam downstairs, signaling his Hikari's return. He listened to him walk down the hall, and stop right outside of his room. He didn't say anything, he gave him the silent treatment.
If you are going to run out on me, I will run out on you.
He returned to his studies.
Aboult a half an hour later, he noticed that it was quiet. Too quiet. Suddenly Yuugi's voice rang in his head.
/Yami?/
//What?//
/Did I interrupt something?/
//Yes.// He lied.
/Sorry. Never mind./
He felt the link close, and went back to his Algebra homework.
He felt a sharp thud, but he figured that Yuugi had just tripped.
Again. He is so clumsy sometimes.
[But you know you still love him...] said a voice in his head.
Oh! Just go away you!
He decided that enough was enough and that he was going to go to bed now.
He opened the link, just a crack, to see if Yuugi was asleep, but he was met by heavy defenses.
I didn't think that he had the strength to do that. Oh well.
He drifted off into sleep.

He woke up in what felt like a freezer.
What happened to all the heat? I wonder if Grandpa's ok, and Yuugi.
He went to the door to check on the two of them, when he opened his end of the link. He still felt the defenses, stronger than ever.
That's weird.
He gasped as he opened the door to face a frozen and worried Grandpa.
"Yuugi's gone!"
He ran to the room to survey the mess. The window was open, and the room was in complete disarray. Duel Monster's cards were everywhere.
Running to the window, he looked out, as if to see any sign of the small teen.
"Did you call the police?"
"Of course! They said to look for a note or something. They should be here any minute now."
With that Grandpa went down the stairs to wait.
Yami; however, started to scan the area for any sign of a note. He saw something sticking out of the top desk drawer.
He went over, grabbed it and ran back to his room.
Sitting on the bed he read the hastily scrawled note that was addressed to him.

Yami~
I left because of you. You stole everything in my pathetic little life. I hope you like it, 'cause now it's yours. Maybe, just maybe you'll see me again, Pharaoh, but don't count on it.
Enjoy the life that your darkness has taken over. May it bring you many years of hell, along with the knowledge that I. Hate. You.
Yuugi

He stared at it in stunned silence, thinking it over


"Hey, numskull! Are you even in there?"
Jou's ranting finally brought Yami back to reality.
It had been four years, and still it hurt. But then again, he was his light, his other half. He was nothing without him.
He pulled out a crumpled photograph from hi pocket. Looking at it, you would never think that anything bad could possibly happen between them.
His Hikari was laughing, pointing at his own funny antics.
Ra, I miss him.
"Jou, I'm quite alright, turn around."
The blonde did as he was instructed, but not without muttering curses under his breath.
"I heard that Jou."
Two girls walked into the classroom and took their seats, right behind Yami. They were talking and giggling.
Then one of them said loud enough for him to hear, "They say that Pharaoh's Light is coming to Domino! I can't believe it! And I used to know the lead singer, Motou Yuugi. In fact he went to this school. They say he ran away, and now look at him! God, isn't he just gorgeous?"
Even though he knew that they were trying to get him to turn around, he stayed facing forward, staring at the picture in his hand.
* His* Hikari? Famous? No, it couldn't be. They were trying to trick him or something.
Ra that's cruel. They shouldn't do that, they know I'm right here.
[That's the point, dumb ass.]
Oh, shut up!
Here, take a look, I've got his picture right here!
He couldn't hold it in any longer. He turned around to face the two girls and glared.
"You bitches. You know that he and I are related and this is a very, very sick joke."
They just stared, holding a picture and CD. They looked as though the principal had walked in and given them both suspensions.
"But its true, we thought that you knew! You really don't know?", she gasped. "His music's been all over the radio stations for days! Here, look."
She handed him the photo and CD.
She was right. There he was, standing there between the other group members. But he didn't look like the Yuugi that he knew. He looked older, taller.
[Darker]
He was wearing tight fitting leather pants and a black sleeveless tank. He had a large buckle around his neck, like always, but now in addition he had wrist cuffs too. He looked about his own height, and had a deep crimson and black guitar in his hands.
He stared into those eyes, once so full of laughter and life, now dull and emotionless.
"Do you mind if I borrow these for a minute?"
He turned away before the girl could answer.
"Jou! Ryou! Get over here!"
He hardly ever raised his voice to anyone anymore, but right now, he was to shocked to care.
They turned and looked at him.
"Now."
His tone was sinister.
"Look, it's Yuugi! He belongs to a band named "Pharaoh's Light" . They're supposed to be coming to Domino soon."
He spoke in flat tones, trying to keep the excitement out of his voice.
Yami handed the disc over to Jou and Ryou for their inspections.
Their eyes gleamed in pleasure and excitement as they recognized their lost friend.
"I have to go somewhere right now, so Jou, tell the teacher that I went home sick. Or something.
He grabbed his books and his jacket and took off down the hall without a backwards glance.
"He took my picture!" muttered the one girl.


"Don't you *ever* disobey me again, do you hear me? I said, do you hear me?"
There was a grunt and a snap.
"Whatever."
The teen on the floor was doubled over on his knees, holding his stomach.
He managed to dodge the next kick, but failed to notice the hand that came down on top of his head. He winced as his head was being pulled up by the hair.
"Disobey me again, and you won't walk away, I promise you that. You might be able to sing, play, and write, but you can do all that without the use of you legs. Got it?"
"Whatever."
He was dropped onto the ground again and kicked in the chest again.
There was a sickening crack as the foot connected solidly to its target.
The man left the room, leaving the boy all alone.
Yuugi would never show any emotion for the abuse he received. He was used to it by now. He knew that he could never trust anyone, and here was the proof.
A guy goes off and gets himself into the music business. Sure, he hits it off, gets famous. But how does the the damned president of the recording buisness repay him? He kicks him around. Literally.
He groaned and pulled himself up into a sitting position.
Good. Now all we need to do is get you to that couch. Over there. C'mon.
He winced as he tried to pull himself up.
Move it. Damnit, its no use. I can't believe that he finally broke his broken bone record. Three ribs, and I think my arm. Life is bloody-freakin' grand.
He winced, pain lacing his body. This was worse than usual.
Usually he'd just get kicked around and then he'd go out and drink it off.
I don't think that'll work this time.
He felt something tingling at the back of his head, and suddenly, he fell into fuzzy blackness.
His unconcious body slammed into the floor.
