GOMENASAI! It has taken me forever to update this story:cries in the corner: I am especially remorseful towards YaoiShoujo, since this is her story. Gomen ne, pharaoh-chan:hugs:

I was crying, huddled in the corner of the van as the screaming kids surrounded me. I wanted to shout and thrash out at something (or someone) but I did not. They were kidnapping me! And Yami was not there to save me- I was not sure which one was worse. All the kids' screaming around me rang in my ears and made them sound full of static. One of the kids was sitting beside me and staring at me. His mouth was hanging open and he was just looking. I caught him out of the corner of my eye and I glared back.

"What"

"Do you miss your mommy" The little boy asked. "Is dat why you're kwying"

"No." I replied, lifting my hand to my eyes and wiping away the tears. "I don't have a mother. I miss Yami."

The boy nodded his head as if he understood and looked forward for a moment before returning his gaze to me. "I miss my mommy. It's okay to miss your mommy."

I wanted to cry.

Again.

"Shut up." I muttered before looking out the window in the back of the van. I half-expected to see Yami rushing up behind the van to save me. For a moment, I thought I did see him, but it was simply my imagination. I laid my head down on my knees and I sighed heavily. Maybe my pharaoh cared nothing about me at all. That was why he was not coming.

"LOOK OUT" There was a scream from the front of the van and then the vehicle seemed to swerve to avoid hitting something. Coming to a sudden stop on the side of the road, my ears were plagued now by the amount of crying kids instead of screaming.

"What happened" One of them yelled at the mother who was driving. It was clear that she was crying because I could hear it in her voice without having to see her face.

"I don't know..." She sobbed. "Some guy was in the middle of the street. He came outta nowhere." My mind was caught on this statement and I looked up, shocked. My heart leaped into my throat, hope filling my every void in my body. Could it be Yami? I thought to myself. My mind did not even consider the possibility that it was some homeless man and not my beloved pharaoh. Looking through the window, I had to squint to see through the darkness. My heart sank into my stomach as all I saw was an old and ratty homeless man crossing the street. I was about to look away and admit my utter defeat in my Yami not loving me when I saw past the old man. Standing there was Yami.

"YAMI" I screamed. Leaping up, I rushed to the door and threw myself outside. A few of the chaperones tried to grab me and pull me back in but they were too slow. I ran over to my pharaoh. "YAMI" I suddenly stopped a few feet from him, however. His hair was sticking up much like Marik's or Bakura's did. The Millennium Ring around his neck was swaying back and forth merely from the monsturous power that ommited from his body. That alone caused his clothes to flap and his eyes to shine with pure malice. I felt dread seep into my bones. I knew this look. Something bad was about to happen.

"You... took... my... hikari..." He growled, his voice completing him with the perfect possessed ensombile. "You... will... perish..."

"NOO" I screamed, only seconds too late. Powerful light illuminated through the millennium puzzle and surged across the street to the van. Striking it and everyone inside, all the souls in that car were forcably removed from their bodies and sucked into the puzzle. I watched in horror as these events unfolded. I was speechless. I could not really blame my pharaoh for this because he was not in his right mind. However, it was not very nice. Hell, he could KILL them. I did the one thing no one should do in that situation. Before the stream of souls could be trapped in the Shadow Realm, I stepped in between the souls and the puzzle. As a result, I could feel my spirit start to leave my body. No one was immune to the power; not even me. "Ya... mi..." I breathed one last time before I was exumed and collapsed. This act must have brought Yami to his senses because, not more than ten seconds after my soul left my body, it returned. As did the spirits of all the children in the party. I looked up and I saw Yami. His entire body was shaking horribly. Unable to keep his balance any longer, he collapsed onto the pavement in front of me. I sighed in relief and crawled up to him. I tried to touch him to reassure him that he was all right, that everything would be okay. But he pulled away from me.

"Don't... touch me..." I was confused. Cocking my head to one side, I then understood why he refused to let me near him. "I.. don't want to... hurt you... Yuugi..."

"You won't." I promised. He still would not let me touch him.

As Yami and I sat on the pavement, the people in the van had gotten out and were all shaken up. Most of the kids were throwing up and all the adults followed their example. They were crying and hysterical, some of them. One was even clinging to his parent (one of the chaperones) and was screaming that he never wanted to go to another birthday party again. I watched as Yami's state did not get any better and, even after forty minutes of sitting there, he was still shaking. He did not even resist when the police came and took all of us away for questioning after someone had called them. Along with the kids and party go-ers, we were shoved into the back of one of the squad cars to be taken to the local precinct. I looked out the window and sighed heavily. This was not a good sign.

Owari.

Sorry it is so short. But I just HAD to do this. It'll end soon... and by that I also mean eventually. I will try even harder to post soon and not procrastinate. Please be kind and review!
