A Love Of The Past

Chapter 2

"Yuugi! Your friend is here!" Yami heard the old man call.

"I'm coming!"

"I'm Yuugi's grandpa," the man introduced himself.

"Nice to meet you," Yami said politely as he bowed. "I'm Mouto Yami."

Suddenly, a boy ran from the back of the Game Shop. "Thanks, Grandpa."

Yami stared at the boy. Even after his `dream' it was still surprising to see so many similarities between themselves. And he was wearing the necklace as Yami was. "Hey, Yuugi."

It appeared the boy had the same thoughts as his eyes lingered on Yami for a bit. "Hi, Yami." Then he looked at his grandpa. "We'll be in my room, Grandpa."

Yami followed Yuugi to the back of the shop and to his room. As soon as they got into the room, Yuugi smiled. "I can't believe how much we look alike!"

"Me, too." Yami stared at the necklace.

"Maybe we're long-lost cousins or something."

"Can I see the necklace?" he asked suddenly.

"Sure."

Yami took the necklace that was handed to him and looked it over.

~*~*~*~FLASHBACK~*~*~*~

**Yami was back in his dream. //Why does this keep happening?//**

"Yami?" a small voice called.

"Yes?" The boy and himself sat in a garden on one the benches watching the sun set.

He smiled. "I wish I could tell what you're thinking sometimes. From the expressions on your face, you looked very happy."

Yami nodded and got an idea. //Well, why not?// "Give me your necklace for a second, Yuugi."

**Yami stared at the necklaces. //It's the same one's we have!//**

Yuugi did so and Yami held his and Yuugi's in different hands. Then he started chanting a spell in Egyptian. After he was done he gave back the necklace. "Here put it back on."

"What did you do?"

The Pharaoh smiled. "Himitsu desu." (AN: "It's a secret.")

The younger boy put it back on. //Yuugi?// The boy jumped.

"Yami? Did you just say something." //It's me, Yuugi, in your head.// Yuugi heard the voice, but did not see the Pharaoh's lips move. /W-we can talk to each other through these necklaces?/

//Yes. Now you can know what I'm thinking whenever you want to know.//

/Thank you, Yami./ The Pharaoh smiled.

~*~*~*~END OF FLASHBACK~*~*~*~

Yami knew why they can talk to the other through their minds.

"Yami? Yami!"

He snapped out of his trance. "Huh? Sorry, Yuugi."

A smile. "That's okay. What happened?"

Yami handed back the necklace. "I had another vision... if you want to call it that."

Yuugi seemed interested. "What happened?" he asked, as he slipped the necklace back on.

"I found out why we can talk to each other," Yami started to explain. "I guess in my previous life, I put a spell on the two necklaces so you, in your past life, of course, could know what I was thinking."

"Why?"

Yami looked confused. "Why, what?"

Yuugi looked at Yami's necklace. "Why would you do that? Why would I want to know what you're thinking?"

"I don't know... I wish I did."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Let me see your necklace." Yuugi asked. /Maybe there's something different./

~*~*~*~FLASHBACK~*~*~*~

**Yuugi looked around at the world. /Where am I?/**

"Oh, Yami, I've been so foolish."

**Yuugi looked toward the voice. His eyes widened. /That's me!/

"What do you mean?"

**/That sounds like Yami!/ Sure enough, as soon as he turned to the owner of that voice, he saw the splitting image of Yami.**

"I mean I've been stupid! I left you!"

**/I left him? Why do I get the feeling I'm only hearing half the conversation?/**

"We left each other."

Yuugi shook his head. "You don't get it. I didn't have to leave. I was just... I was just too consumed with guilt and I figured I needed to make it up to everyone. I thought that I was supposed to help them and forget about my own life and happiness. It took my grandpa to show me my error. He told me I should do what I want, forget my guilt, it was illogically founded anyways. He said I should do what will make me happy because if I'm happy then he's happy. And that's all I ever wanted, Yami. I wanted a happy family."

Tears started at the edges of Yuugi's eyes. Yami carefully wiped them away. "Yuugi, what are you trying to tell me?" The boy looked up at Yami. //Please, Ra, don't let this be a dream! Please tell me Yuugi's going to be with me forever. I don't think I could withstand another let down.//

**Yuugi could hear all their thoughts clearly, but still wasn't getting what was happening.**

Yuugi slid his arms around Yami's waist and laid his head on his chest. /"You deserve to be happy. Your parents would want you to be happy." You're right, Grandpa. I will be happy./ "I'm trying to tell you that I'll stay with you. I don't ever want to leave you again." He tilted his head up and looked at Yami. And slowly their lips joined again.

**/What the...! This is a bad joke! This can't be the same thing Yami was talking about./ He felt his cheeks burn with embarrassment. /I loved Yani?/

~*~*~*~END OF FLASHBACK~*~*~*~

"Yuugi? Yuugi? Are you okay?"

Yuugi got pulled to reality. "What?"

Yami looked at him weird. Yuugi held out the necklace and Yami put it back on. "Did you see a vision?"

Yuugi's face grew bright red. "Sort of..."

"What do you mean `sort of'?"

/How am I supposed to tell him that in our past lives we loved each other?/

//What?!//

/Ooops!/ Yuugi really started to sweat. /I'm not used to having other people hear my thoughts./

//Obviously. Now, are you going to explain?//

"I might as well."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yami listened patiently to what Yuugi said. After that, they decided not to talk about their "past" and instead play games. They both found out the other had an interest in Duel Monsters. They played a heated battle, but before it was over, Yami announced he had to leave.

Yami started his walk home. He had one of the best days in his life. Yuugi had a very cheery attitude that was a contrast to his own lifeless one. And he realized why he, in his past life, fell in love with Yuugi.

Y-n-Y: Did you like it? I hope so!!

Yuugi: Are me and Yami gonna get together yet?

Y-n-Y: Impatient, are we?

Yuugi and Yami: ::nods and grins::

Y-n-Y: Just wondering, what did you guys get each other for the holidays?

Yami: I got Yuugi a golden locket shaped like the Millennium Puzzle with out pictures in it.

Y-n-Y: What did you get him?

Yuugi: ::blushed::

Y-n-Y: Well?

Yuugi: ::mumbles:: We... bed... love... night...

Yami: I think he's trying to say: it involved me, him, a bed, love and a night.

Y-n-Y: Um... yeah... I got the picture... ::drools at the image Yuugi and Yami::

Yami: ::sighs:: Please review? It'll keep her nose out of our lives.
