Summary: Yuugi misses his other half and questions his love for him. Mai and Yuugi's other friends join together to help him. But what can they do and who can bring him from his depression? Only one person can but he's been gone for two years now and what if he doesn't want to come back?

Declaimer: I own Yu-Gi-Oh! and all of it's characters. NOT! I totally wish I did though and so does everyone else in this world. Greeeaaat! *sighs*

Warning: Song fic. Boy and boy relationship. Maybe character death, it really depends on your point of view. Tẻa's NOT bashing (I used Tẻa to do her English name 'cause I'M FROM AMERICA! AND STILL IN IT!)

Thanks for reading (*pauses*) if you do read it. And this is my first time doing something like this…ever.

I cried as you left

My tears were crimson

But it wasn't for my lost

For you and your condition

- Yuugi Mutou

Chapter 1: Crying Heart

Faint sunlight came through the rain clouds that surrounded the city of Domino. A boy of eighteen laid on a bed as he stared up at his roof that made the living part of his grandfather's game shop. Tears flowed swiftly from his child-like amethyst eyes into his multi-colored mane of yellow bangs, black and mauve-red based tipped hair. His face was twisted into a pained smile as he remembered Him. His radio switched to a song that reflected on his thoughts and feelings.

I'm not the type

To get my heart broken

I'm not the type

To get upset and cry

A broken sob came from the teen as his memories went to when his other-half left to the afterlife. When Atemu and him fought each other at the Ceremonial Duel in Egypt. When he won and Atemu was free to go to the afterlife to see his family and friends.

'Cause I never

Leave my heart open

Never hurts me

To say good-bye

"Atemu, why did you leave? I thought you would stay. You promised me you would never let me go. Everyone else might have moved on but I can't. Why can't I, Yami? WHY?!" Yuugi Mutou whispered until a pain ripped through his chest making him yell the last word and curl up on his side on his bed.

Relationships don't get

Deep to me

Never got the whole

'In love' thing

Yuugi tried in vain yet again to feel his other self, his other soul, through their mind link but felt nothing. He was glad that his grandfather was on another expedition. If his grandfather was here there was no way he could do this silently. Sure he acted the same as 'Before' with his friends and family but when he was alone he let out all the motions he kept inside. Tẻa may have liked Atemu but ever since he left she became more obsessed on being with Yuugi trying to get on dates with him and hold his hand. But he wasn't going to like her that way.

And someone can say

They love me truly

But at the time

It don't mean a thing

The one person that stole his heart was now gone forever and wasn't going to come back. Yuugi got up from his bed and ran down stairs while putting on his old blue school jacket over his white shirt. He hopped over to the door and grabbed his keys and locked the door to the game shop before he ran up his street. His mind spinning with depressing thoughts when he passed the museum where they found out Atemu's identity and where they saw the Pyramid of Light. Yuugi started to pant as he passed the arcade where he and his friends had so much fun when he didn't even know that Atemu was with him. He couldn't think and the stupid tears would not yield.

My mind is gone

I'm spinnin' around

And deep inside

My tears I'll drown

He felt alone like when he was trapped in the Puzzle because of the Seal of Orichalcos and when he sacrificed his soul to save Atemu's. When he was before his life changed from finishing the Millennium Puzzle and in the process getting another soul; best friend; a crush. Yuugi strayed into the street to cross to the other side so he could be in his favorite thinking place. The Domino Park. Not once did he hear or see someone else following. He stopped by the lake and looked out and over it to the full moon and glimmering stars.

I'm losing grip

What's happenin'?

I strayed from love

This is how I feel

"Atemu, I wish I could have lost that duel. If I did you would still be with me and not gone like everyone else. I'm so alone since my friends went their separate ways. Tẻa left for America the next day after I told her I didn't love her that way and might never will. Honda and Shizuka are on their cruise to Hawaii and won't be coming back for at least three months. Joey is too busy being with his boyfriend, Kaiba. And I can't even talk to Ryo anymore since… yeah… well… since he passed away."

This time was different

Felt like I was just a victim

And it cut me like a knife

When you walked out of my life

"I just feel so alone with you gone; no longer able to smile naturally and laugh a real laugh. I should have at least told you before you left. Before you left so I could say that I love you. I love you so much that it hurts. As if you were torturous to be with but it's killing me slowly when you are gone. And now I'm dying everyday knowing that you can't come back. Every smile was a gift; ever word was a brick that build me up. Every touch was like electricity shocking my heart, every beat of my heart, beats for you. But now it's dead just like my own soul."

Now I'm stuck in this condition

And I've got all the symptoms

Of a girl with a broken heart

But no matter what

Yuugi looked down at the ground and fell to his knees and hugged his chest tightly as the sobs and tears came back. You would think he could have stopped crying but it seemed that he had an unlimited number of tears to shed for the Pharaoh.

You'll never see me cry

Stalker's POV (A/N: Forgive me put until you know who this is this person will be called this.)

You with the sad eyes

Don't be discouraged

Oh and I realized

It's hard to take courage

Violet piercing eyes shone through the shadows besides a willow tree as they watched the sad stricken teen by the park's lake. It looked like a little kid crying for his mom because she was gone and never coming back. But instead it was this 'Pharaoh' that Yuugi was crying for. She had never seen Yuugi so depressed and she promised to herself she would find out who this 'Pharaoh' is and help the teen get through this.

In a world

Full of people

You can lose sight

Of it all

"Don't worry Yuugi," The owner of the eyes whispered to him even though he was three yards way. "I'll help you. I'll ask your friends' help to find this 'Atemu'. Trust me. Mai Kujaku, never breaks a promise." And with that Mai backed away slowly from the hikari to the city beyond the park's gates.

And the darkness

Inside you

Can make you

Feel so small

Mai ran to a phone booth and punched in a few numbers and brought the phone to her ear. She was impatient and it didn't help that the person on the other side didn't answer until the seventh ring.

But I see

Your true colors

Shinning through

"Hello" A sweet girly voice answered slightly breathless.

I see

Your true colors

And that's why

I love you

"Tẻa? It's Mai Kujaku I need some help." Mai said into the mouthpiece.

So don't be afraid

To let them show

Your true colors

"What's wrong, Mai. Is something wrong?"

True colors

Are beautiful

Like a rainbow

"It's Yuugi. I think his in trouble. Do you know a person named Atemu…"

Yuugi's POV

Back at the Game shop Yuugi stepped out of the bathroom towel drying his multi hair in an effort to dry it without it being puffy later on. His pajamas consisted of only black pants and socks. His chest was bare (Kath: *drools*) and already his child fat turned to lean hard muscle. (Drag: Better late then never.) If any of his friends saw him they would have mistaken him for Atemu but his child innocent eyes, hair, and personality didn't make him fully like his other half.

Did it happen

When we first kiss?

'Cause it's hurtin' me

To let it go.

It seemed that there was nothing left to live for. If it weren't for the fact he thought his grandpa and his friends would miss him, he would have committed suicide a long time ago. It seemed only like a month since the former Pharaoh left but it's been two years now and he still haven't gotten over him. Yuugi signed at the sight of his room; toys everywhere, clothes scattered, old homework from his senior year overflowed the mini trashcan in his room, and poems, songs and stories mixed in with the scattered stuff on the ground.

Maybe 'cause we

Spent so much time

And I know that

It's no more

So many things he plays with but he still loves playing Duel Monsters never mind the fact that he always wins. The only opponent that could ever come close to beaten him was Seto Kaiba, Jonouchi's boyfriend. He didn't know how they got together only that they tortured each other because they were too afraid to admit their feelings for one another. And the only person that can beat him was the one that was alive 5,021 years ago; starting now. Yuugi looked away from his toys to the moon shinning through his window. He remembered when his other half looked at the moon in the exact place, as he was now, the night before they were to start dueling in the Battle City Tournament. When Yuugi said that he would help him no matter what to find out who Atemu was but didn't think he could help much since he almost lost him in that fire. When he held the Puzzle in front of him and Atemu placed his hands around his bringing yet again a shock to his love struck heart.

I should have never

Let you hold me, baby

Maybe why I'm sad

To see us apart

'I should have never fallen for a spirit: much less a spirit that saved the world, has shadow magic, and probably not even gay.' Yuugi thought to himself as he looked away from the glorious moon, closed his eyes and slowly fell to the ground as a terrible pain shot through his heart. The Pain that only meant that he was still alive and his other soul was dead in the peaceful afterlife; pain of wanting something but having no power to get it no matter how bad he wanted it. The pain of despair that filled his heart and that only kept him known that he wasn't dead but Atemu was. 'I should have never fallen for his beautiful personality, his hard-core will and determination, the sweetness that only he showed me, and his moral continuance of trying to save the world.'

I didn't give it to

You on purpose

Gotta figure out

How you stole my heart

It felt like a nightmare that his life had turned into. Like someone else was controlling his life and he didn't have a saying anymore. Yuugi twitched as the pain inside his chest grew past unbearable and silently cried as all the times him and Atemu battled against the bad guys. They had saved the world time and time again and the part when he got back his body; the feel of relief, guilt, fear, love, and redeemed honor from his partner was overpowering. Yuugi grabbed his head and screamed for his partner, his yami, his other half, his best friend and his protector to come back. Even if his cries were in vain he still cried, begged, plead and yelled at any god his mind could remember through the fog of pain.

My mind is gone

I'm spinning around

And deep inside

My tears I'll drown

Yuugi felt like his grip of reality was fading by ever passing moment and his friends and his grandpa were the only things he held onto. Nothing else mattered besides Jii-chan, Katsuya Jonouchi, Tẻa Mazaki, Ryuji Otogi, Malik Ishtar, Ryo Bakura, Hiroto Honda, Shizuka Kawai-Jonouchi, Seto Kaiba, Mokuba Kaiba, Mai Kujaku, and…Yami no Yuugi/Atemu/Mou Hitori no Boku. He felt like he was scream and no one was even looking at him. (Kath: Yes I know this came from Titanic when Rose talked about how she felt like but it's still good. And no I do not own the movie but I do own a tape of it.) Like he was on an edge of a cliff and no one was there to pull him back. (Kath: And yes this came from the same movie now stop asking.) He was alone and he had no one to lean on anymore for help. It's funny that the smaller stuff in life is what we take for granted and we don't notice till it's gone.

I'm losing grip

What's happening?

I strayed from love

This is how I feel

Soon Yuugi's memories went to his life before he finished the Puzzle, when his life was incredibly better then now. To when he had no friends to be with and only had his games to keep him company. To when he never met the Pharaoh and he was still trying to finish the Millennium Puzzle. Before, when he had no protector to save him from the kid's wrath at school and the bruises, cuts and the torment from his abusive father. (Kath: This isn't true but I don't know who his father is.)

This time was different

Felt like I was just a victim

And it cut me like a knife

When you walked out of my life

Flashback

"My, my… You are nothing but a weakling." His father's voice filled his head as he doubled over in pain from the blow he received. His back hit the wall and slid down to the floor looking up at his dad with pain, pity, amethyst eyes rimmed with tears. "You're not my son. You never were and you never will be." The taunting voice came as blows hit his heart and the pain never receded.

Another Flashback

"You'll never be loved Yuugi." Tẻa saying when he refused to be with her. "I know who you love and if he did love you Atemu would have stayed here." Tẻa's face darken with jealousy, pain and anger. "Let's face it the only person that loves you is me. But now you won't have anyone to love you and it will be your own fault." Tẻa furiously turned on her heel and stomped away. She left a guilty Yuugi by the school's gate with his friends that heard the last of her ranting.

Flashback Ends

Now I'm in this condition

And I've got all the symptoms

Of a girl with a broken heart

But no matter what

Yuugi took his arms from his head to hug his middle and he lifted his pained twisted face as a battle cry tore from his lips. Only one person could save him from this stage. Only one can make him whole again, to feel again; to laugh and smile like he uses to do when he was alive. Only two words to make him feel the luke warmth on his cheeks and the pain in his heart. Yami/Atemu. He signed as the he could feel himself fall closer to the inky blackness behind his eyes. He welcomed the dark with open arms and he plunge into a dreamless sleep.

You'll never see me cry

Mai's POV

Show me a smile then

Don't be unhappy

Can't remember when

I last saw you laughing

"Kaiba! Put Jou on the phone NOW!" Mai screeched into the phone earning a few stares from the people walking on the street. "I don't care if he's playing Halo 3" (Drag: Jaden-Lover1634 does not own Halo 3, sorry ;) ) "Just put him on."

If this world

Makes you crazy

And you've taken

All you can bare

"Why should I?" A calm voice said. It sounded like he was smiling at her, practically taunting her. "You're his ex-girlfriend. He doesn't want to talk to you after what you've done." (Kath: Every time Kaiba smiles a puppy dies.) (Drag: Oh, look, Joey died!)*

You call me up

Because you know

I'll be there

"KAIBA! It's Yuugi. He needs help." Mai said, trying to sound patient though she was anything but. "If you don't put him on I will come over there and drag him with me just to get his ass over here. And I can get by your 'high security' mansion and through the doors to get to you. And you know I can and will."

And I'll see

Your true colors

Shinning through

"Fine we'll be there; I just don't see why you're worried about that pipsqueak. You didn't even know him that well." Mai rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Um… He saved my life, got me out of the Seal of Orichalcos grip; save my soul twice I might add. He also showed me compassion and got me to have Joey get the guts to ask me out. Is there any other reason why I should NOT help him?" She fumed at the CEO.

I see

Your true colors

And that's why

I love you

"You forgot the fact that he save Joey's soul, save the whole world so many times, defeated Pegasus, Mariku, Dartz, Noah, Bakura, Zorc, and … huh I think that's it. Oh wait he saved me, Mokuba, Sugoroku Mutou, Dartz, Noah, Marik, Rishid, Bakura, Yuugi, Tẻa, Honda, and Shizuka. Now I think that's all of the people he saved." Mai nodded along absently at his words, not really paying attention until after he finished and raised an eyebrow. "Wait, I thought we were talking about Yuugi not Yami…Pharaoh…Atemu…thing. Idk, really on what you call him."

So don't be afraid

To let them show

Your true colors

"We use to call him Yuugi but now we have to call him Atemu since- WAIT! Why am I still talking to you?" Kaiba grumbled some unintelligent words and stiffly hung up. Mai looked at the phone with a dumbstruck express. She stood staring at the phone until the beeping of the offline tone reached her mind then she slammed the phone back down. With some of her dignity still enacted she went to the closest bookstore then to a shop that sold what she would call 'voodoo'.

Your true colors

Are beautiful

Like a rainbow

"Hold on Yuugi." Mai whispered as she left the shop and made her way to the Domino Park. "Don't worry. Atemu will be back I promise. I just hope what my grandmother said was true and these," she shook the bag she was carrying, "will do what they need to do."

Yuugi's POV

Yuugi's mind was still trapped in the dream world, as his body moved on its own and slid on to the bed. His face was covered in tears and nail marks where he gripped his face from the pain. His chest and stomach was painted in purple-blue from the fights he tried to stay away from. Who ever said that when he got older the kids that pulverized him would leave him alone after High School was wrong.

How did I get here

With you I'll never know

I never meant to let

It get so personal

Yuugi twisted and turned but never once woke up. His hand strayed to his stomach where the Millennium Puzzle use to hang from, but it felt nothing. He frowned in his sleep and moved his hand slowly to his neck to feel the leather string that held his Puzzle, and still felt nothing. His frown deepens as he gripped his hand into a fist. The dream changed to something that killed another part of his soul.

And after all

I tried to do

Stayin' way

From lovin' you

Dream Scene

The crash of waves filled his ears as he looked out over to the horizon. His blonde bangs whipped through the furious wind, and the spray of the ocean waves and the tears that the sky unleashed soaked his whole body, his clothes, and his hair. He was standing on a cliff that was raised over the deadly ocean currents. He was wearing his old Domino High School uniform and seemed to be the same height he was at fifteen. Thoughts of suicide clouded his mind as he stepped closer to the edge.

I'm broken hearted

And I won't let it show

And I can't let you know

You'll never see me cry

"Don't do it Aibou!" A voice so familiar yelled from behind him. The teen could imagine whom the owner of the voice looked like. Leather black boots with two strips that was covered in spikes would move as he walked to the stilled teen. Black leather pants would cover the strong legs that carried the person over. A black leather shirt with no sleeves covered the well-toned chest. A blue ribbon would be tied around the owner's arm just under the left shoulder. Chains and black leather bracelets would cover his wrists. The neck would be mostly covered in a black spiked choker. The hair would almost be like his own hair but four blonde lightening streaks should be shooting up to the gray-black clouds. And lastly, the eyes that was way narrower than his own. The eyes that captured his heart with so much fear, love, and wonder. Fierce purple-fire red would shin through the fading light. (Drag: SO. MUCH. LEATHER!)

This time was different

Felt like I was just a victim

And it cut me like a knife

When you walked out of my life

Yuugi turned slowly around to face the person who talked. He thought he could face him without the pain, despair and longing but he couldn't even keep the anger that filled his eyes from showing. The mind link was back and he could hear the other one's thoughts and feelings. Pain and guilt flashed through the link as Yuugi faced the other teen.

Now I'm in this condition

And I've got all the symptoms

Of a girl with a broken heart

But no matter what

"Aibou please don't." Yami no Yuugi-no Atemu pleading was very uncharacteristic. "I'm sorry for what I've done. I thought this is what you want, what I needed. I went through hell to save the world. I defeated Zorc and the Thief King, stayed in the Puzzle for a millennia, saved your Jii-chan from Pegasus. Let's not forget the fact that I saved the world from Mariku, Dartz, and Bakura and Zorc again. And lived without your soul or encouragement the whole time Dartz tried to kill the people of your world." Atemu said to him as his memories flooded through the mind link.

This time was different

Felt like I was just a victim

And it cut me like a knife

When you walked out of my life

Yuugi looked over his shoulder to the ocean trying to hold in the tears that threaten to fall. 'If I died then I could be with Atemu in the afterlife too. No one would miss me. They are all too busy with their own lives.' Yuugi thought. He looked over to the former Pharaoh as his own tears fell down.

Now I'm in this condition

And I've got all the symptoms

Of a girl with a broken heart

But no matter what

"Aibou please don't die and live." Atemu said brokenly. All his efforts were in vain.

You'll never see me

"Yami…" Yuugi whispered.

Cry…

"Hikari don't."

All…

"…Gomen nasai." And with that Yuugi stepped back into the air and down to the ocean below. He was falling to his death.

My…

"Yuugi! NO!" Atemu ran to the edge trying to catch the said teen as he fell from sight. But his arm reached out and only caught air. "YUUGI!"

Life…

Mai POV

Can't remember when

I last saw you laughing

"So what's with the bag Mai?" Shizuka asked as she, Tẻa, some other girl, Honda, Jonouchi, Kaiba, and Mai pulled out the items that were in the bag she brought. Everyone she called came to the park to help her. "I mean, what are these for?"

If this world

Makes you crazy

And you've taken

All you can bare

"Well… You see my family believes in witchcraft and voodoo stuff and so naturally I know a few spells." Everyone became quite and looked at her flabbergasted. Mai looked up and became very defensive. "I did say some spells, not all." Mai pointed out.

You call me up

Because you know

I'll be there

"It's just…" Tẻa began but she trailed off, a little scared of Mai might do if she finished. The new comer grabbed her hand and said some encouraging words.

And I see

Your true colors

Shinning through

"Look some people believe in the super natural okay. You don't have to be here if you don't want to." Mai said a little hurt but was not surprised of their reaction.

I see

Your true colors

And that's why

I love you

"We're not going anywhere." Shizuka said looking at anyone that was daring enough to leave and prove her wrong. Nobody moved and nodded their confirmation. Mai smiled and started to get everything ready and set up.

So don't be afraid

To let them show

You're true colors

"Thanks guys this means so much to me. Thanks that you accepted me even though this is probably freakin' you out. There is one person I don't have to worry about." Mai said looking up from her work.

True colors

True colors

Are shinning through

"And who's that Mai?" A Brooklyn accent said looking at her with warm brown eyes. Kaiba looked at his boyfriend starting to worry that he was still in love with her. But he saw that Jonouchi was just playing nice.

I see

Your true colors

And that's why

I love you

"The one person that doesn't believe that he was an ancient pharaoh's cousin, that was in a prophecy, and was a High Priest from his past life." Mai said and looked at Seto Kaiba. "None other than the CEO of Kaiba Corporation and your boyfriend Joey. Seto Kaiba." She said his name in a deep voice trying to sound like Atemu. Everyone burst out laughing since they knew what she said was true and laughed even harder at Kaiba's face when it turned into a scowl.

So don't be afraid

To let them show

Your true colors

"So Mai," Honda said when everyone could control their laughter. Some giggles still escaped now and then against the tries. "What is all this for anyway? What spell are you going to use?" Everyone's laughter stopped at once and looked at her for an answer. The said teen looked around preparing for their reaction.

True colors

Are beautiful

Like a rainbow

"This spell is to resurrect the dead. To bring back a loved one or a person that you miss and give them another body." Mai signed when everyone had a blank expression. "I'm going to bring back the Pharaoh. Pharaoh Atemu." Sharp intakes of air came from all around the circle
