Chapter Two
A Yu-Gi-Oh! Fanfiction by Yami
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! My name is Yami, I am not a famous person and I don't own anything but the plot of this story.
Author's Notes: The title of this chapter's title is from the song "Missing" by Evanescence. It's unreleased so I'm sure not many of you have heard it (it's a kickass song, go download it!). At the end of this chapter I'll write the lyrics, I'm sure you'll agree as to why I chose this song. Well, I'm going to post this and the first chapter at once so I'm not expecting any reviews yet. Enjoy this new chapter. It's really different and the whole story probably is going to be different than what you guys read last time. Just because I don't think the old plot was going anywhere.

"Yugi."
Yugi rolled over; he was tired…very, very tired…
"Yugi, get up."
Yugi covered his ears; he wished that voice would go away.
"YUGI!"
Someone was shaking him now. Yugi opened his eyes, annoyed to have been woken up. "WHAT?" he asked.
Staring back at him was his yami, his eyes narrowed in concern. "Shouldn't you be at school, little one?" he asked. The two were now separate beings, meaning Yami could roam around freely but they were still connected.
Yugi rubbed his eyes and looked at his watch. His yami was right, it was currently 11 am and it was approximately lunchtime for his class. At that thought, he felt his heart clench as yesterday's events hit him full force. "I don't feel so good today," he said quietly.
Yami felt his light's heart clench but decided not to voice it, knowing that Yugi didn't want to discuss it. "Alright Aibou," he said gently.
'Yugi's not at school today,' Joey thought sadly as he stared at his lunch.
"What's eating you, Joey?" Tristan asked, his mouth full of food. "Don't tell me you're still bummed out about Motou."
"It was pretty mean of us to lie to him though," Joey said. "And you Tea, you're always talking about friendship and now you're saying that friendship never lasts. This is so unlike you guys!"
"Welcome to life Joey," Tea said. "I don't like it either but it's time we faced the truth and not go on in ignorant fantasies."
Ryou, who had been watching them all in silence piped in. "You have a point Tea, but why are you only saying this to Yugi? Why is he the only one getting the cold shoulder?"
"You need to stop protecting him," Tristan argued. "Sooner or later we all wake up to the real world. Yugi needs to learn on his own the pains of the world."
"But he's had his own pains of the world," Ryou said. "You of all people should know that."
"What's that supposed to mean, Bakura," Joey asked. Though he agreed with Ryou, he wouldn't let him diss his friend.
"Never mind," Ryou said, putting up his hands to show that he didn't want a fight. "Just…forget I said anything."
"Yeah, whatever," Tristan said and went back to eating. There was an intense silence after that.
Yugi and Yami sat on the log for a long time in silence, just staring at the river. Studying Yugi's face, Yami could see the tear stains on his light's delicate face. "Aibou, you've been crying," Yami said softly.
The look his light gave him made him want to tear his own heart out and cry into the night. The deepest sorrow Yami had ever seen was buried deep within his light's amethyst eyes. "They hate me," he said bluntly, trying in vain to mask his pain.
"Who?" Yami asked, his concern growing with the tears in Yugi's eyes.
"Tea, Tristan, and…and…" Yugi couldn't finish, his heart hurt too much. It was all too much to bear; the people he thought he could always count on just turned their backs to him and drifted away.
Yami took Yugi into his arms. "I'm so sorry Aibou," he whispered and Yugi let it all flow out, burying his face into his yami's shoulder and sobbing his heart out.
End Chapter
Missing by Evanescence
Please, please forgive me
But I won't be home again
Maybe someday you'll look up
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?"
You won't cry for my absence, I know-
You forgot me long ago
Am I that unimportant?
Am I so insignificant?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
Chorus
Even though I'm the sacrifice
You won't try for me, not now
Though I'd die to know you love me
I'm all alone
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
Please, please forgive me
But I won't be home again
I know what you do to yourself
I breathe deep and cry out
"Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?"
Chorus
And if I bleed, I'll bleed
Knowing you don't care
And if I sleep just to dream of you
I'll wake without you there
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something…
Chorus
