Chapter Seven

 

After Seto dropped Yugi and Sugoroku off at the game shop he and Mokuba headed home. The limo pulled up and they both exited and walked inside. Seto heard the stereo still on.

 

“Mokuba I thought you turned that off before we left.” Seto asked as he picked up the remote to turn it off.

 

“I thought I did.” Mokuba said as he gave his brother a confused look.

 

“Hn” Seto turned and headed upstairs to lie down.

 

He walked into his bedroom and sat down on the bed and looked out at the night sky. The moon was full and a few clouds lingered as the rain turned to a light mist. He laid back and closed his eyes wishing that it was all a horrible nightmare.

 

He wished things could be different, like they were before. Yami and him dueling and thriving off of that rivalry to keep them going. He loved to duel Yami, he was a challenge that he could never get enough of. Life would never be the same and he knew this.

 

He sat up and knew he would not be able to sleep so he went downstairs and turned the TV on flipping through the channels hoping to find something to get his mind off the day's events. He stopped when he caught sight of a very familiar duelist.

 

It was outtakes of Battle City and the World Championship. Yami was standing in his familiar black leather, buckles, two belts, wrist bands and the buckle around his neck and of course the millennium puzzle.

 

He stood confident even in the worst of situations. His cards had always come through for him especially when it looked as if he would lose.

 

Seto sighed and put his head in his hands as he sat back further on the couch. He quickly looked up when he heard a noise from in the room, but nothing was there.

 

`My imagination, no one could get into my mansion with all the security.' He stood and walked toward the kitchen and noticed a duel monster card on the counter.

 

`Probably Mokuba's' He thought as he picked it up and gasped as he let it drop to the counter again.

 

“It can't be only two duelists I know have this card.” He picked it up again and turned it back over. It was no mistake he held the Dark Magician in his hand.

 

`Maybe Yugi left it here the other night?' Seto sat the card back on the counter.

 

`I'll give it to him tomorrow.' He made his way back towards the living room and was about to head upstairs when he stopped abruptly as he saw a shadow at his bay window.

 

He inched closer and noticed the spiky hair.

 

“Yugi what are you doing here?” Seto asked confused of how he could have gotten in.

 

The figure didn't answer as he remained staring out the window.

 

“Yugi how did you get in?” Seto asked a little more sharply.

 

Again no answer.

 

“Damn it Yugi quit fooling around!” Seto exclaimed.

 

“I am not Yugi.” The shadow spoke in a low baritone voice.

 

“Yami is….is it really you?” Seto whispered as he moved closer.

 

The figure turned around and crimson eyes glowed in the moonlight that was coming through the window.

 

Seto moved closer till he was only a few feet away. “How? Why?”

 

“I do not know?” Yami shrugged.

 

“B…but you died.” Seto stammered

 

“I know, but I can not pass to the afterlife.” Yami looked up at Seto to meet his gaze.

 

Seto reached out to touch Yami's shoulder but his hand went right through. He stumbled back and landed hard on the couch.

 

“Yami….I miss you.”

 

“As I miss you Seto.”

 

“Will you….stay?” Seto whispered.

 

“I don't know if I can, but I will try.” Yami spoke as he sat beside Seto on the couch.

 

Seto looked over at Yami and noticed that he was in fact transparent.

 

“Seto…please do not tell Yugi.” Yami turned toward him.

 

“Why?” Seto asked as he looked at the other confused.

 

“I might….scare him that is why I came to you. Yugi is so jumpy and even more so now since I am no longer around.”

 

“You will have to tell him sometime.” Seto leaned back as he yawned.

 

“I know just not yet.” Yami looked over at Seto and noticed that he had fallen asleep.

 

He smiled and curled next to Seto placing a blanket over him.

 

“Good night Seto.” He whispered as he lay down.

 

He watched as Seto slept and wished that everything had been different he looked out the window and watched as the rain ran down the window.

 

He looked back at Seto and sighed. “I am sorry my priest, I have left you in this life as well.” Yami stood and faded leaving Seto asleep and alone.

 

 

 

Seto awoke and stood and walked to the kitchen and looked at the Dark Magician card. `It was a dream, Yami is really gone' He thought. `I need to go and give Yugi back his card.' He walked upstairs to take a long shower.

 

 

 

Sugoroku and Yugi sat at the table for breakfast and both silently stared at the empty chair. Sugoroku looked at Yugi who had tears in his eyes. He sighed and looked at his food.

 

`There are no words I can offer him right now that would comfort him.' He thought as he silently looked at his grandson

 

Just then the door bell rang. Yugi didn't seem to notice lost in his own thoughts. `Yami and I used to sit together after he made breakfast while jii-chan was away.' He smiled at the thought of Yami using the toaster for the first time.

 

~ “What…Ahhhh Ra damn thing work!” Yami shouted as he clenched his fists together.

 

“I am a Pharaoh for crying out loud and no inanimate object will conquer me!”

 

Yugi sat at the table and laughed at his dark.

 

“Push the lever on the side down.” Yugi giggled.

 

Yami glared at the toaster as he pushed the lever down.

 

“Ah Ha!” Yami shouted.

 

A few minutes later the toast popped up and Yami gasped at the black toast. He growled in his throat and in a burst of black and purple mist the toaster disappeared.

 

“Yami what did you do?” Yugi shook his head as he giggled.

 

“I sent the Ra blasted thing to the shadow real.” He fumed as he turned to look at his hikari.

 

“How about cereal aibou?”

 

“Cereal sounds good.” Yugi laughed as he watched Yami stomp over to the cupboard to grab a box of cereal. ~

 

 

Yugi was brought back to reality when his jii-chan walked back into the kitchen.

 

“Yugi someone is here to see you.” Yugi stood and made his way to the living room. As he walked into the room he noticed a certain CEO standing by the window looking out.

 

“Kaiba what are you doing here?” Yugi asked surprised that the CEO would visit so early.

 

Seto cleared his throat and took the Dark Magician card from his briefcase.

 

“You left this at my house the other night and I though I would return it.” He handed the card to Yugi.

 

He stared at the card then back to Kaiba. “I….didn't have my deck with me.”

 

Seto stared at Yugi like he was from another planet. Yugi looked at Seto.

 

“Maybe it's Mokuba's.” Yugi asked as he looked at the card one more time.

 

Seto shook his head. “Already asked him and it is not.”

 

Yugi thought for a minute. “Well let's go check my deck just in case.”

 

They made their way up to Yugi's room and Yugi picked up his deck and shuffled through. He then pulled out his Dark Magician card and showed Seto.

 

Yugi then walked out the door and entered another room. This one was dark and had a lot of Egyptian artifacts. Seto followed him in figuring this was once Yami's room.

 

Yugi picked up Yami's deck that was sitting on the dresser and shuffled through.

 

He looked up at Seto then shuffled through again.

 

“Yami's Dark Magician isn't here.” He whispered as he looked up at Seto.

 

Seto stared at Yugi and watched as he placed the card on the top of the deck. “How…did you get it?”

 

“It….was on my counter last night.” Seto spoke softly

 

“Maybe Yami left it there.” Yugi looked at Seto confused.

 

“Maybe.” Seto shrugged, but knew that if Yami had left it there he would have noticed before now.

 

Seto cleared his throat as he looked at Yugi. “Well anyway I thought I would bring it by. I have to get back to Kaiba Corp, but if you ever need me just call.”

 

Yugi smiled as he gave Seto a hug. “Thank You for everything.”

 

Seto hugged Yugi back and then walked out of Yami's room and back downstairs. Yugi watched as he walked out and then just stared at the wall.

 

“Yami I wish you were here. I need you my other.” Yugi sobbed as he closed the door.

 

Yami watched as Yugi shut the door. He sat on his bed and stared out the window.

 

`Another rainy fall day' He thought as he stood and made his way closer toward the window.

 

He watched as Seto drove away and moments later watched as Yugi walked out and onto the curb.

 

“I wonder where my aibou is going?” Yami asked himself out loud as he decided to follow his hikari.
