Chapter Eleven
Groggily, Yami awoke to voices. Jou and Honda were bickering again.
The mage didn't notice the girl next to him until she pushed him down when he tried to get up.
Glaring at Anzu, Yami asked, "Where am I?" Just then, he realized he was in a bed.
"We're back at the village, now hold still! You need to rest."
Yami's head throbbed, and when he reached his hand up to it, he felt a bandage. He also realized he had other numerous bandages on his body.
"Would you hold still? You'll never heal that way!" Anzu snapped, exasperated.
Yami snorted. "I can heal myself. I _am_ a mage, if you haven't noticed by now."
Yami mentally reached into himself, to that black flame that represented his magic. But imagine his surprise when he found two flames. . .a black one, and a white one.
//What the hell?// he thought.
/Yami?/
Yami jerked up in bed, despite Anzu's protests.
"Yugi?"
Anzu started. "Yugi? He's not here. We. . .couldn't find him." She said sadly.
Yami was confused. "I- thought I heard Yugi just now."
/*giggle* You did./
"What!!"
By now, Anzu was getting annoyed. "Yami, you sure you're not hearing voices in your head?"
Yami snorted at the thought. "Of course I'm not hearing. . ." Yami's eyes widened in recognition. "voices inside my head. . ." he finished weakly.
//Yugi?//
/Hi!/
//Um, what's going on?//
/Not sure exactly, but it seems like when your pyramid and my necklace joined to form a whole puzzle, we merged into one./
//Uh. . .Does that mean you'll never have a body again, you'll only exist in my head?//
/No, I don't think so. While you were unconscious, I was able to figure out what happened./
//Well then, spill.//
/I'll explain later, look Anzu's calling you./
Yami snapped out of his thoughts, as he realized Yugi was right. Just in time to feel a stinging slap to his cheek.
"Ow, what was that for?" Yami cried, holding his reddened cheek.
"I was calling your name, but you wouldn't answer!" Anzu retorted.
"Well, what do you want?"
"I was going to remind you to get some sleep, since you need to rest from, whatever you did. Because whatever you did, it left you out of it for three days."
Yami's eyes widened. "Three days?" He squeaked, sounding much like Yugi at the moment. "I've been unconscious for THREE DAYS???"
Anzu nodded, as she left the room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eventually, while Yami rested, he figured out what happened between him and Yugi. Basically, when his pyramid was completed from Yugi's necklace, they merged into one. One could control their body while the other rested in what Yugi called, Soul Room. Both had their own, but both were very different.
However, even though they were supposedly one, they could still separate bodies, so that both Yami and Yugi could be present at the same time physically.
At the moment, the two boys were discussing what happened, while eating some fruits out in the backyard. The others were out working. Yugi had insisted that he help, but Anzu firmly stated that he and Yami needed to rest.
"This is no magic I have heard of." Yami muttered as he fingered the puzzle.
"First time for everything!" Yugi chirped cheerfully.
"Yugi, I'm sorry for betraying your trust. I'd understand if you wish to stay away from me, even if that might not be possible. . ." Yami glanced at the pyramid.
"It's okay, Yami-kun. The past is the past, and I think you're truly sorry for it."
Yami smiled gratefully. "Arigatou."
Yugi smiled.
"But Yugi, remember when you asked where I got this pyramid?"
"Yeah. You told me you found it." Yugi cocked his head curiously. "Why?"
"I didn't really find it. A man gave it to me."
"Really? Who?"
"I don't know who he was. At the time, it was before I worked for Master. I was young, still living with my parents. I didn't know I was a mage. One day, a man stopped by my home. When he saw me, he whispered something to my mother, and pointed to me. I didn't hear what he said, but my mother nodded to whatever he told her. Then he came over to me and gave me this pyramid. I remember, he was very kind."
"So why did you decide to keep the pyramid with you all this time?"
"I didn't have a choice. The minute I put it on, I felt connected to it. If I tried to take it off for a long time, I would begin to feel dizzy. So I kept it."
Yugi was awed. "Cool. What was the man's name?"
"He only told me his first name and the initial of his last name. He also said that it was important I remember it."
"So what was it?"
"Sugoroku M."
