Chapter 2- Lost

Yugi woke up the next morning feeling drowsy and like he never got any sleep at all. The violet-eyed boy sat up and rubbed his eyes.

"Oh god…what time is it…" he looked over at the clock and almost fell out of bed. "Holey shit!!" He screamed and he jumped up and ran to his closet to get ready.

`Damn…damn damn damn…' he thought over and over in his mind as hi slipped on his leather pant's (A/N- Yes, Yugi does wear leather) The teen shot down the stairs and snatched a piece of toast on the table and ran out the door. Soon after he left, Suororku walked in the kitchen.

"Where's my toast!?"

~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!

Yugi ran up to the gates of Domino High and gently eased them open, slowly walking through the schoolyard. He opened the school front doors as well and slipped inside, being careful to not make any noise. He sprinted down the hallway to his locker and grabbed his books for the day. Yugi looked up at the clock and noticed the bell would ring soon. Being smart, he waited for it to ring so he could travel in the crowd of the other students and not get caught. Not to long after this thought was made, the bell rang and teen filed out of their classes. Yugi quickly moved in with the mob down the hallway and turned into his third hour class.

`Damn…history. Well, better than getting math or I would be severely pissed,' Yugi thought, sitting down at his desk and took his regular activities of staring out the window. Not to long after Yugi came in, his friends followed. Ryou, Joey, Honda, Duke, and Anzu. Ryou walked up to Yugi as the others came as well.

"Hi Yugi." He greeted. Yugi just snorted in reply. Ryou cleared his throat. "So Yugi…where were you this morning?" The white haired teen asked. Ryou did in fact have white hair. One you could say was as white a snow. His eyes were a soft chocolate brown. He was around the same height as Yugi, maybe a bit taller but not by much. Yugi shrugged at the question.

"I slept in late," he said un-expressionaly. Ryou nodded. He knew not to push Yugi to why he slept in late…that would only lead to a very loud outburst of anger from him or a black eye. And yes, Yugi does punch when he gets in a really bad mood. Ryou smiled lightly and walked back to his desk. The rest of the gang followed as well, knowing better than to hang around Yugi for too long. They all gathered around Ryou's desk.

"Yugi's so sad…?" Anzu whispered. Ryou groaned.

"Do you always have to point out the obvious!? Of course he's sad! No, he'll punch a kid out cold but he's a happy and joyful! Bull shit!" Ryou glared at her. Anzu held her hands up as a defense.

"Ok ok, sooooorry!" She yelled. Ryou sighed.

"He's just distant himself from us so much…I wish we could just cheer him up…" Ryou whispered. Duke thought for a second.

"Maybe we could surprise him or something…?" Ryou shook his head as a no.

"No…that won't work. And besides…what does Yugi even enjoy now?" They all were silent.

"Now that cha mention it…Yug' has dropped a lot of things…even duel monsters!" Joey explained. The rest of the group stared at him.

"He gave up that!?" Honda said wide eyes. "When did this happen Jou!?" Joey shrugged.

"Don't know…I just know Yug's given up on almost everything!" Ryou sighed at this comment and looked over to Yugi.

`Oh Yugi…we want to help you but you've concealed yourself inside you own head so much we can't get you out…' Ryou thought. He saw Yugi's hand travel down his chest and clutch a shape behind his cloths. Ryou suddenly felt energy from what Yugi was holding. It was weak, but still there. Ryou gasped inwardly as a little of the shape formed through his shirt. It was the one middle piece of Yugi's puzzle.

`He must had managed to grab it when the puzzle broke!' he thought. But then the albino's eyes traveled up to Yugi's face to look into his eyes. The boy's eyes were empty. Like Yugi's very soul had vanished. Ryou turned back to his desk. Yugi's eyes had looked like that ever since Yami disappeared into the light. Then the realization hit him. (A/N- Sorry for their slowness!! Yes, I am making them sort of slow ^^) Yugi missed Yami more then they thought, but who couldn't? Yami was Yugi other. Ryou spoke up to the group.

"I'll talk to him guys." They all nodded in agreement. Ryou turned back to the empty eyes of his once friend.

`Yugi…'

~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~

School was finally over. Yugi walked out the front gates, walking slowly. Suddenly he heard a voice from behind him.

"Hey Yugi! Wait up!" A voice yelled. Yugi turned to see Ryou running up to him.

"I was wondering if you wanted to walk home together!" He asked breathlessly. Yugi shrugged and turned back around and walked on. Ryou followed.

"So Yugi…what have you been up to lately?" Yugi just shrugged again. Ryou's smile fell.

"Yugi…we need…to talk-" Yugi stopped.

"About what?" He said coldly. Ryou rubbed the side of his arm.

"Yugi…you've been acting strange every day. And your losing weight…" Yugi whipped around to face him.

"Why is everyone obsessed with what I'm doing!? I'm fine ok!!" Yugi yelled. Ryou took a steep back.

"Yugi…you know your not…please, you need to get over what happened." Yugi stared at him.

"So you're telling me to forget…ok then. I'll forget Marik and how he almost killed me! I'll forget the millennium puzzle! I'll forget all of my friends because if I don't remember the puzzle, I never would have made friends!! So for me to forget Yami!!" Yugi was screaming by now. "To forget him!! For me to go back and get beaten up all day!! Ok FINE then Ryou I will!!! I'll forget the person that made who I was ok!!!?? Is that fine with you!" He shrieked. Ryou looked to the ground.

"Yugi…we all have one we love who die…you just have to get over what happens…you can't go on living the way you are or you'll kill yourself!" Ryou yelled at Yugi. Yugi suddenly smiled making Ryou's brown chocolate eyes become fearful.

"Maybe that's what I want…maybe I want to die…then I could at least not have to feel pain…I could leave the hell of a living…" Yugi whispered icily. Ryou's eyes widened more. Yugi was suicidal!? When did that happen?

"Yugi! Gods, what are you thinking!?" Ryou yelled snatching Yugi's arm. "Yugi I know how your feeling, I know what your going through!!" Ryou suddenly stopped.

`Oh no…Yugi won't believe me…!' Ryou thought quickly. Yugi stared at him, then his eyes narrowed. They turned from the violet, to a deep empty indigo.

"You know nothing…" Yugi whispered coldly. "What do you fucken know!!" Yugi screamed yanking his arm out of Ryous grasp. "Are you lying to me to make me feel better!? Bull shit Ryou!! BULL SHIT!!!" Yugi screamed. Ryou scooted back.

"Yugi…really, I'm not lying…" Yugi suddenly slapped Ryou straight across the face.

"Stop telling me lies!!!! Stop trying to make me forget!!! JUST STOP!" Yugi cried. "What do you want me to do!? Pretend!! Act happy when I'm not!? Just leave me alone Ryou!" Ryou moved back up near him.

"Y-Yugi…please just listen…" Yugi glared at him.

"I am not listening to you damn lies!!! Just leave me alone! Just go away!!!" Yugi screamed. And at that he shot off down the street. Ryou suddenly sprang after him.

"Yugi!! Yugi, please wait!!" Ryou cried to the other teen. Yugi didn't listen to him, he just kept on running. He streaked into the woods and out of site. Ryou came running up where Yugi disappeared.

"Yugi!! YUUUUUGIIII!!!" Ryou hollered. Suddenly thunder cracked overhead. "Oh no…."

{With Yugi}

The boy was running through huge thick patches of trees, cutting his face, arms, legs. But he didn't care. He wanted to get away. Get away from everyone. Suddenly he came upon a long tree root. He tripped and fell face first in a pool of mud. The boy sat up, whipping mud from his face and cloths, swearing under his breath. Yugi soon stood up and then hollered in pain as his right leg gave way on him. Yugi plopped down and pulled up his pants to see his ankle swollen. Yugi groaned and tried walking on. Trying to ignore the acing pain from his foot. Not to long after he fell, he made it to a clearing. Yugi sat down on the edge of the forest and whimpered in pain from his sprained ankle. Yugi sighed and pulled his knees up to his face, attempting to ignore the pain. He cried.

`Why…' he thought. "Why did you have to leave WHY!!" Yugi screamed into his knees. "Your not gone…I still believe you can come back…oh dear gods…please…please bring my yami back. Even if for one second…at least I can see his face…for me to tell him what he told me." Yugi looked up at the sky. "Oh Yami…you were like my twin…but I can barley remember you face…" Yugi brought his head to his knees. "Please come back…."

{Back to Ryou}

"YUUUUUUUUUGIII!!" Ryou hollered again and again. Ryou had been running all around the park and in the woods looking for Yugi for at least 45 minutes by now. Ryou suddenly turned a corner sharply and ran headfirst into someone.

"Oww!! Watch where you're going you- Ryou!!!??" Ryou glanced up to be looking into lavender eyes.

"Malik!?" Ryou bellowed. Malik nodded, helping Ryou up to his feet. Ryou hugged his good friend and fellow hikari. "It's great to see you!" He grinned. Malik smiled as well.

"Same! Ryou, what are you doing anyways?" Ryou' grin vanished and he looked toward the ground.

"I was looking for Yugi…he ran off and I have no idea where he is." Ryou said slowly. Malik's eyes widened.

"What!?" He yelled. "We have to find him!" Suddenly the whole area lit up in a flash of lightning. Soon after thunder rolled over the night sky. Ryou glanced over at Malik as the rain started coming down.

"We got to get him out of the rain and home!" Malik yelled over the rain and thunder. Ryou nodded as they split up, hoping their little friend wasn't caught in this storm. Of course…he was.
