Souls and Hearts

Chap 1~ I have what?!

"Tell us where they are you ungrateful brat!" A man hooded and cloaked backhanded a small girl causing her to fall on her butt. The child was small built, only looking 4'7'' in height; with chin length raven hair and joyful blue eyes. Dust clouded up from the warehouse floor staining her white pants and ivory skin. She coughed and held her bruising cheek as thick crimson blood flowed down her lip to splatter paint her dark purple t-shirt. She gave a small sob rapidly shaking her head no.

"Do you not know or are you just not telling us Ankari?" The man backhanded her again before stomping out of the room, slamming the door shut. Ankari huddled up in a darkened corner as she played with the dust tracing the kanji's for life and death with her black and silver sneakers.

"Please let out master find us soon." She thought letting her tears hit the ground. Jou snapped awake screaming.

"What the hell is wrong?" Yugi cried throwing open the door. Jou turned to him breathing heavily, complexion almost baby power white.

"Yami!" Yugi shouted understanding what was wrong.

"Another dream again?" Yami asked yawning as he walked into the room. Jou nodded his head grasping the bed sheets.

"Was there any change in this dream?"

"Yes." Jou whispered out, if it could be considered a whisper. Yami gave him a look to continue.

"The girl's name in Ankari, and the man said that they where looking for something. She also drew the kanji's for life and death." Jou whispered a bit louder.

"Do you think this means something, Yami?" Yugi asked giving an innocent tilt of the head.

"Well I think we can rule out Jou's past." Yami looked thoughtful.

"Then why would I be having these dreams?" Jou asked complexion coming back little by little.

"Jou would you mind if I tested you?"

"Test what Yami?"

"Your ESP level."

"My what?"

"Your ESP level. It shows how psychic you are."

"Will it hurt?"

"No but you are going to feel drained in all levels."

"Then lets go for it! I can just sleep it off." Jou got back his goofy grin.

"All right." Yami raised his left hand and pressed lightly against Jou's forehead with his index finger. Both boys closed their eyes and the puzzle started to glow. Yugi took watch as the door to make sure nothing would interrupt Yami. They found out the hard way that breaking such an amount of concentration could be deadly. He gave a cute yawn playing with the shirt hem of his blue dragon PJs. Yami's eyes darted around behind his lids before snapping open wide.

"Yami you ok?" Yugi shook the former pharaoh's shoulder lightly.

"What's wrong?" Jou yawned feeling the exhaustion already.

"Jou your ESP level is off the charts. Higher then Kaiba's or mine. Higher then both of ours combined together. Almost unlimited." Jou seemed to forget the fatigue as Yami's words echoed in his head. He had the highest ESP level Yami had ever seen!

"Oh wow! So I can tell the future and all?"

"Not exactly. There is some bad news."

"B-bad news?" Jou lost his happy act, a watery gleam settled in his eyes.

"You will never be able to access it, to harness it. Even with training you can't. I'm sorry." Yami put his hand on Jou's shoulder in comfort.

"It's ok. I mean it was just something that I was better then Kaiba in." Jou sniffed, wiping away his tears.

"Well I am going back to bed." Yugi bowed and walked back to his room.

"You should get some sleep as well." Yami walked out following Yugi's path. Jou fell asleep before his head hit the pillow. Two women were huddled in the corner of a void. Both looked 25, identical, but one was dark and the other was light. The darker one sang an eerie but comforting toon as she stroked the lighter one's silver chin length hair. Lake blue eyes emitted tears causing darker spots to appear on the dark woman's already dark purple spaghetti strap dress.

"Life it will be ok." The darker one whispered pushing back her own raven hair, gray purple eyes going soft.

"Hai Death." The lighter one, Life, whispered back fist clutching her long white spaghetti strap dress.  

Me~ Gya! Sorry for such a short chap! Maybe it should be more of a prologue then the first chap.

Myself~ I think that would have been a smarter choice.

Me~ Don't worry it gets better with even more plot twists that will be explained and once everything clicks people will cheer. Also the chaps will be a lot longer! A lot longer, as I said before this is more of a prologue. Well please tell me what you think!

All~ Byes!
