Yajirushi: I'm sorry to all my loyal readers, as few as you may be.

Leana: Don't worry Yajirushi, I'm sure they are just glad you're alive.

Yajirushi:*Glances at hungry readers* I'm not so sure, Le.

Kanashimi: Yajirushi, really, you are melodramatic.

Yajirushi: Shush Shimi, I don't need your help.

Kanashimi:*Rolls eyes*

Yajirushi: Alright! Now, for the first time ever... Reviews!

Hikari Cruz: Thank you so much! It makes me happy to know my writing is good. Here's the more that you hoped for, I hope you like it.

Mylane67: Here's the next chapter! I have another working, but I am missing the song... GGGRRRRRR, it's so hard. Anyways, I know Yugi seems alone, but he has Kana and Leana to support him. Who knows, maybe he will have more people soon.

Fandomenforcer: I'm sooooo sorry I made you cry! That wasn't my intention, I swear!*Huggles* I hope whatever caused you to feel like that has gotten better. The song was actually the inspiration for this entire story! I just loved the song and my mind basically went into fantasy land and this popped out. XD Love how screwy brains can make me hate my life and push it on characters in my head...

Basket in a Nutcase: I love the enthusiasm against Atem, but sadly, it should be Yami. This is one of my stories where Heba is actually a different person than Yugi, sooooooooo blame Yami. *Pulls said character in front of her*

Ganzademon: I'm glad you like it! this wasn't meant to be depressing... too bad my brain loves making me see the bad stuff in life...

Yajirushi: Now, on with the story. DISCLAIMER!

Disclaimer: I know...

Yajirushi: Disclaim!

Disclaimer: Yajirushi doesn't own YuGiOh, or the characters. She does however own Leana and Kanashimi(Kana), so please do not use them without permission

Final note, the song in this chapter is italicized and in normal quotations "Like this, but no bold"

Come Alive

Club Nativus, 10:00 pm

Leanna gathered the band to the darkened stage of the club. She set the stage lights, as they were dark. Kana had joined her and was going to be her backup for this set. She and Kana were doing their vocal exercises, waiting for the cue from Yugi. She shifted in her knee high black boots, excitement coursing through her.

She grabbed her wireless mic and synced it to the speaker system. She told her bandmates what song she had chosen. It was a new one she had heard recently, one that had a great beat for the night. She gave a glance to Kana, before she told Yugi she was ready.

The crowded became silenced by Yugi's voice from the DJ stand.

"Tonight we have a special performance in honor of the Grand Opening of Nativus." Yugi called over the crowd. "Now, clap your hands and raise your voices for Refulsit*(Spellbound)!"

Leanna nodded to her instrumental players as they queued, starting the song.

"You stumble through your days, got your head hung low, your sky's a shade of grey." Kanashimi started the song, his baritone voice capturing the audience.

Yugi smirked at the song choice and signaled the bartenders over the heads of the crowd.

"Like a zombie in a maze, you're asleep inside, but you can shake awake." Kanashimi continued.

The bartenders and Yugi grabbed wireless mics from their pockets and prepared for the dance they had rehearsed with the song.

"'Cause you're just a dead man walkin'. Thinkin' that's your only option, but you can flip the switch and brighten up your darkest day." Kana grinned at Yugi and Leanna as he sang.

Yugi moved out from behind the DJ stand as the bartenders stepped up to the edge of the floor. Yami and the group of teens watched this with mild interest at what was about to happen.

"Sun is up and the color's blinding, take a world and redefine it. Leave behind your narrow mind, you'll never be the same." Kanna winked at Yugi, his voice echoing and reigning in the entrapped people.

Yugi sent one last look at his friends, before he disappeared into the shadows.

"Come alive, come alive, go and light your light, let it burn so bright. Reachin' up to the sky, and it's open wide, you're electrified." Kana kept the eyes of everyone on him.

Yugi sent a message to the lighting man hidden in the back office of the club.

"And the world becomes a fantasy, and you're more than you could ever be, 'cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open, and you know you can't go back again to the world that you were living in 'cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open. So, come alive." Kana sang a long verse, more people entered the already large crowd, all moving a little closer to the stage.

Yugi circled the large group, keeping hidden in the shadows, making his movements impossible to follow, Leanna though was tracking him.

"I see it in your eyes, you believe that lie that you need to hide your face. Afraid to step outside, so you lock the door, but don't you stay that way" Kana finished his first part, his eyes locking with Leanna's next to him.

Yugi smiled and took a deep breath.

"No more living in those shadows, you and me, we know how that goes." Yugi stepped into a spotlight that had appeared as he started his verse.

Leanna smiled as the gasps rang across the club, eyes flying to the boy.

"'Cause once you see it, oh you'll never, never be the same." Leanna stepped forward, joining Kana at the edge of the stage.

The bartenders/dancers all smiled, ready to move and sing together.

"A little bit of lightnin' strikin', bottled up to keep on shinin'" Leanna and Yugi sang together, their voices melting into one.

Yugi stepped forward, his movement followed by the dancers.

"You can prove there's more to you!" The entire staff and band sang at once.

The patrons of the club gasped and stared, awed at the display of skill and practice.

"You cannot be afraid." Kana drew the eyes to him again.

The staff shared quick glances, joy and passion shining like small lights in every pair of unique eyes.

"Come alive, come alive, go and light your light, let it burn so bright. Reachin' up to the sky, and it's open wide, you're electrified." The staff sang, movement starting at once.

The crowd smiled, enjoying the show immensely.

"And the world becomes a fantasy, and you're more than you could ever be, 'cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open, and we know we can't go back again to the world that we were living in 'cause we're dreaming with our eyes wide open. So, come alive." The staff sang as they started a series of complex dance moves.

The band picked up on their quick instrumental piece, striking the cords with precision.

"Come one, come all! Come in, come on!" The staff beckoned people in the crowd, encouraging them to dance.

Several members of the crowd smiled and started to dance to the beat of the song.

"To anyone whose bursting with a dream!" A female staff member sang alone, her voice like that of an angel's.

Yugi smiled at the girl, glad they decided upon her nickname of Angel.

"Come one, come all! You hear the call!" The song continued.

More of the audience unfroze and started moving once again.

"To anyone who's searching for a way to break free!" Kana belted out his line.

Leanna, Yugi, and Kana shared a blinding smile.

"Break free!" The female staff joined.

"Break free!" The male staff added.

The crowd was now moving and jumping as the staff continued their dance on the border of the floor. The staff started clapping along to the beat.

"When the world becomes a fantasy, and you're more than you could ever be, 'cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open, and we know we can't go back again to the world that we were living in 'cause we're dreaming with our eyes wide open." The staff sang as one.

"When the world becomes a fantasy, and you're more than you could ever be, 'cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open, and we know we can't go back again to the world that we were living in 'cause we're dreaming with our eyes wide open." The verse repeated.

The staff prepared for the final few lines of the song, smiles on every face.

"'Cause we're dreaming with our eyes wide open." The staff continued.

The crowd was once again trapped by the music, many had stopped dancing.

"So come alive!" The staff started, Kana's voice joining a second later.

Yugi held and hit the final note, all eyes ending on him, his icy blue and silver hair shimmering in the light. Smiles reflected on every face of the staff. The crowd roared with cheers. The staff took quick bows before they headed back to their jobs. The crowd dispersed to the bar and tables around the room.

XXXXXXXXXXX

Yami's jaw was hanging open after the seemingly planned performance. He felt that he knew the voice of the blue haired boy that became the star of the dance. The tall boy weaved between people before he appeared at the DJ stand, a pair of headphones already over his head.

XXXXXXXXXXX

Atem glanced at his brother and started to laugh. He too had been impressed by the dance. His eyes had followed the blue haired boy, the movements held a strange familiarity with him. Something was sparking in his mind, but for the life of him, he couldn't figure out what.

XXXXXXXXXXX

Yugi selected a song from Leanna's playlist when he reached the DJ stand. Music filled the silent club. Yugi's head bounced along to the beat of the song. He hummed along to the beat as well, lost in his own world of music.

XXXXXXXXXXX

Malik stood from the table, catching the eyes of every one of his friends. Marik glanced at him in mild curiosity, but Malik ignored him.

"I'll be right back." The sandy blond said, leaving before anyone could say anything.

He winded across the room, directly up to the DJ stand. A glint in his eye, something was drawing him to the DJ.

XXXXXXXXXX

'Yugi, incoming.' Leanna warned her friend, before he was surprised.

'Thanks Lea.' Yugi responded, opening his darker amethyst eyes, still hidden behind his glasses.

"Do I know you?" A voice to his left rang out.

"Maybe." Yugi responded, slipping the headphones down to his neck.

"I'm Malik." The boy introduced himself.

"Hello." Was Yugi's only response.

"It's nice to see you again Yugi." Malik smiled at the blue haired boy.

"So, someone still remembers me." Yugi said blandly.

"I never forgot you." Malik replied.

"Yes, you did." Yugi bit out.

"No Yugi." Malik insisted. "I knew you were gone, I just didn't know how to bring it up with the others."

"Liar." Yugi accused.

"He's not lying Yugi." A feminine voice called the younger boy out.

Yugi sighed, his eyes closing.

"I know." Yugi whispered.

Malik watched as the female with bright blue hair wrapped her arms around Yugi from behind. Yugi relaxed into her arms, his head sliding under her chin easily.

"Are you two together?" Malik inquired.

"No." Leanna said. "I'm just his best friend. He trusts me like no other."

Malik nodded, a smile forming on his face.

"I'm glad you found a true friend Yugi." Malik looked at the boy.

"Thank you Malik." Yugi spoke softly.

"I have to tell the others you are back." Malik told the now tall boy.

"You can't." Leanna spoke up.

"Why not?" Malik asked.

"They must learn on their own." A baritone voice responded from behind Malik.

Malik jumped and looked into the yellow cat eyes. A devil's smile shined under the eyes, every other feature hidden in shadows. Leanna smiled at the hidden person, her eyes sparkling in the flashing club lights.

"Who are you?" Malik looked worried.

"Another friend of Yugi's." The voice spoke.

"I'm Malik." Malik held his hand out.

"Call me Kana." A thin pale hand left the shadows, followed by a tall body.

Kana stood at a proud 6'3", towering over his friends. His yellow eyes glowed, much like a real cat's eyes would. Short black hair rose in spikes from his scalp, blood red tips shining. Wiry muscles lined his arms and legs, showing his strength. His hand met Malik's in a strong shake.

"I need to go." Yugi's voice was stronger once again.

"Yugi?" Kana looked at the smaller boy, his face instantly morphing into concern.

"Dark." Yugi simply said.

Leanna's arms dropped and Kana followed Yugi as he left. Leanna took over the DJ stand, keeping the music loud and pumping. Malik waved to the girl before leaving the stand. Leanna flashed Malik's aura and saw the gray stripe had disappeared with the finding of Yugi. Malik practically bounced to his friends, a bright smile stuck to his face.

XXXXXXXXXX

Yugi strides through the halls of the offices behind the club. He knows Kana is following him, but he doesn't care. Something in the city had called out to the young Seer. Something dark and dangerous. Yugi figured Kana or Leanna would follow him, they protected each other, it was their job.

'Young one.' A feminine, motherly, voice echoed in Yugi's head.

'Mother Gaia.' Yugi echoed back.

'Be careful. This enemy is dangerous.' Mother Gaia warned her sudo son.

'Yes Mother.' Yugi stopped walking as the cool night air hit his face.

He felt the soft weight of Kana's hand rest on his shoulder. He leaned back into the hand, his eyes closing. Kana slipped his arms around the smaller boy's waist. He rested his head on the black and blue haired boy. Yugi sighed tears started to gather in his eyes. Kana placed his lips on Yugi's neck, kissing it gently.

Yugi smiled, before he gently pushed Kana back, away from him. His amethyst eyes stared back up at the sky. An echoing sadness resided in the once happy eyes. Kana knew he would never be enough for his small friend, boyfriend really, but he still liked the smile he could give Yugi.

"We should go." Yugi turned to his taller counterpart.

"Where to?" Kana looked into the purple eyes.

"The Sakura Park." Yugi started walking.

"What are we up against?" Kana followed, focusing on the task at hand.

"No idea." Yugi admitted.

"Something bad though." Kana sighed.

"Yeah, dark and dangerous too." Yugi added.

"I'm with you for it all." Kana assured the teen.

"Thank you Kana." Yugi whispered, stalking into the dark shadows.
