Heba's having werid

Dreams

Ryou is a murder and has accidentally stabbed Malik

Malik has a shitty job and is most likely currently in the hospital.

But what about yugi?

Well let's find out

Yugi's Pov

I lay half awake in my room. Heba's snoring and Ryou went out as he does every Saturday. I believe it's a time and day for him to reflect and to have some fresh air.

I know he's not ready to talk about Bakura yet. Yeah I know I'm not saying 'his dark' and what not. I don't care about those words anymore. We aren't truly light with out them, so that makes them just friends I guess.

Or better yet friends who weren't even alive when we first met them. I miss Yami a lot. We leaned that our bond will never leave and forever be imprinted on our souls. What ever that means.

I'm sorry if I sound bitter, it tends to happen when everything that gave you a reason to smile is gone. Some times when I am falling into my deep slumbers, I feel as if he's here. Watching me.

Occasionally I'll feel lips touch my forehead but I'm already to far gone to open my eyes. Though I'm sure it's probably Heba. I mean sure he's younger but hey he's always protected me. Even as a kid.

I was always weak. I couldn't even play duel monsters with out the help of an ancient pharaoh. Pathetic right? Yea well at least I had friends for a while. They all pretty much left, while Ryou, Malik and I stayed.

Grandpa died shortly after the ceremonial duel. They said it was a heart attack. So while the three of us hid our upsetting losses and unhappy feelings Tèa and Tristan got offered dancing and acting careers in America.

We told them to go. They have lives to live ya know. Joey, I don't know what happened to him. Or at least where he his now. He left to go work as a chef job in Austria and then as florist in a flower shop in New York. Maybe he saw Tèa and Tristan.

I haven't seen Seto and Mokuba since the ceremonial duel. Malik, Ryou and I stayed in Egypt for a couple of weeks with Heba. The four of us came back to Domino City to make arrangements for grandpas funeral. Not many came, just our little circle of friends came.

Then I became secluded. Well almost, the game shop still gets a few customers everyone and then. But I only run the shop when necessary, which isn't often. It reminds so much of them. The cards are too much for me.

There's some one else here. But who? I can feel the slight vibrations as they try to talk. I can't hear anything! Gah this is so pathetic! I'm so pathetic! I can hear the faint whispers but I don't understand it.

Suddenly I'm not in my empty dark room.

My amethyst orbs glance around. There's toys in a corner. It's all very dark in here. Wait a minute, I've seen this place before! Isn't it my soul room? But why is it so different? So cold, so dark. But there's hardly any of my innocence is here.

Have I really changed that much with in a year? I know I've grown a couple inches and became less social but really? And why am I in here? What's going on?

'Knock. Knock.' Came almost silent poundings. How is anyone else here? The only one able to get in was Yami. Wait is it?! Can it be?! I ran to the door and pulled it open as realization hit me hard.

It wasn't who I was expecting but I can except it. A duel monster in purple robes with a matching hat towered over me. The Dark Magician. A slight smile graced his lips. I tried to speak but again sorrow had tightened it's grip on me.

Taking both of us by surprise I threw my arms around him and buried my face into his stomach. His cloths got wetter and wetter with each passing moment. I knew I was crying but I couldn't help it. Or at least I felt like it.

A hand patted my head rhythmically slow. Glancing up a see a sad smile. He leans down a little to whisper something to me. I listened eagerly because he doesn't speak often. Even my ragged breaths slowed and quieted down as I waited.

His semi-baritone voice bounced in my head as he spoke in rhyme.

"The darkness will return to save the light that has dimmed. Darkness will return the light which has been taken and lost. Darkness will heal and complete as well as cause havoc for an unknown light. Darkness will also complete the puzzles left undone and destroyed. Be careful and heed this warning for things of the past may be unearthed." And with that he disappeared. As did the my soul room.

I awoke to a dimmed room. Light caressed the the room from the submissive moon. Only letting her light show once a day amount many others while the sun hogs all the glory. Some times I wish it were just me and the light of the moon. It calms me as if making it to where the darkness consumes me but not in destruction.

It consumes me with love, care and ignorance. Also it doesn't and can't judge me for my imperfections for it has more. But who am I to judge? All it does is add to the beauty of it.

Loud rings blared through the house interrupting my thoughts.

"Uh huh." I exhaled deeply as I got up yawning as I did. Opening my bedroom and heading down the stairs to get the phone I answered lazily.

"Yo it's the Mouto residence. Yugi speaking." Dozing as I spoke I leaned against the wall and didn't have much time before the other person spoke hysterically.

"Yugi? Why ar-; never mind just hurry up and get Heba up and get to the hospital Serenity had her eye operation! It's Malik and he's hurt bad." And with that the call ended. It sounded like Ryou. Wait a minute, did he say Malik?!?

"HEBA!!" I yelled as I ran up the stairs, taking two at a time. When I finally reached his door I slammed it open scaring him awake with a start.

"What the hell Yugi! What's going on it's like, um it's," he glanced at his phone, "It's fucking four-thirty in the morning! What's so important it couldn't wait?"

I replied with as much attitude as him and with fear of my own.

"Get up you! It's Malik! He's in the hospital!!" I all but shout. He stays like he's dazed. Then he panics.

"Was it that psychopathic killer?!? How'd he escape?" He asked with out pausing. Then is dark skin became even paler, as he checked Ryou's and the guest rooms "Where's Ryou! Has anyone told Odion or Ishizu?"

I grabbed the keys as we reached the front door. He kept ranting until we were pulling out of the drive way in our blood red truck. It wasn't large but we are able to have 5 other people in here, not including the bed of the truck.

"Well are you going to answer me or what?! AND HOW THE FUCKING RA ARE YOU FUCKING CALM?! AREN'T YOU FUCKING WORRIED!" A dark chuckle escaped my lips.

"Of course I am! To answer your questions I don't know anything except that it was Ryou who called." I paused for a moment remembering that Heba checked the house for him "Don't you know he usually goes out on saturdays?" I questioned. His face contorted in embarrassment.

"N-no I didn't. Guess I'm not a very good protector am I?" He confessed.

I giggled slightly at his realization. Pulling out of the drive way and heading to the hospital I reply.

"No. We are just too reliant and bad at letting people protect us."
