The Nightmare!

Welcome all to the 3rd installment of 'The Nightmare.' I hope you all have enjoyed
the story so far. Thanks for all the hits and reviews! Now it's time for Chapter
3! This features the POV of Dream Clown. Ooo...what will happen next?

Chapter 3: Dark Dreamer *Dream Clown's POV*

Darkness...is all I can remember. I vaguely remember my past in Pharoah's
kingdom. I know I used to manipulate the dreams of others all the time. It was
nothing to me. I loved it. Until that hateful day when I went into the wrong
dream, at the wrong time...

"Now is the time to strike, Anzu!" I informed her.

"What do I do?"

"Ryuji Otogi...and...Honda Hiroto are going to bed now. Tell me whose dream you
would like to manipulate and I will let you alter it as you want to. Remember
what I have taught you and now you can manipulate their dream to your liking."

"I want...Otogi. He messed up Honda's mind into believing that he's gay and he
is in love with him. I can't stand you Otogi! Every since you challenged Yugi
to the game of Dungeon Dice Monsters! And then you were hanging all over
Shizuka during Battle City! You..."

"Ok, how would you want his dream manipulated? I can persuade him to do
whatever you want."

"Oh really? I want you to...."

*Reader's POV*
Otogi is tossing and turning and sweating. Honda, of course, is out like a log.

-Otogi's Dream-
Otogi and Honda are at their favorite spot in the park, having a picnic.

"I'm glad I could finally get a day off to have this picnic with you Honda."

Honda's just eating the food, not saying anything.

"Honda? What are we going to do tonight?" He asks.

"I'm going to be with Shizuka. You know she IS my girlfriend right?" He replies
between chews.

"Wha?! When did this happen?" Otogi asks rather surprised.

"What do you mean? We've been together since Battle City. And then we went
on that cruise. It was so wonderful!"

"I thought we were together?"

Honda stops eating and looks confusingly at Otogi.

"What do you mean 'we'?"

Otogi places a hand on Honda's thigh.

"Together...as in lovers..."

"Lovers?!" Honda yells, quite shocked at Otogi's actions.

"We share a house together and we even went on a cruise together."

"What are you? Some gay freak or something?! My balls don't roll that way,
and you know it!"

"But, just last night we were..."

"Zip it! I'm a woman's man, not a man's man. I've always been like that! And
what you say I did, I did it just not to hurt your feelings! I'm glad we had
this talk, so now I can say, GET AWAY FROM ME! If I ever see you near
me or Shizuka, I'll have you arrested!"

Honda gets up andves ves Otogi staring at him...

"Honda..." Otogi sqeaks out. He turns around and says "What is it now?!"

"I thought it was forever. I thought I was your Dicey."

"Consider those days over, forever!" He says storming away from Otogi.

"It's over...? I can't believe that it's over..." Otogi stutters out as tears
well up in his eyes. "It's OVER!"

-End dream-

Otogi sits up panting hard and in disbelief of what he had just dreamt. He
looked to his left, where Honda sleeps, but he wasn't there.

"My Ra...it was true..." Otogi says as tears fall freely from his eyes.

Otogi gets up and put some clothes on. He left the house and went to that
same spot in the park.

"I thought it was forever. What went wrong? It was just a dream...wasn't it?
I mean, I would always tell him that I was so happy until this couldn't be
anything but a dream... I never really thought it actually was a dream."

Otogi curls up next to a tree and cries.

Honda walks out the bathroom to see that the bed is empty.

"Now where did he go? Maybe to get something to eat." He says as he walks out
the room and downstairs to the kitchen.

The kitchen was dark, so he knew he wasn't there.

"Maybe he went to the guest bathroom. I was in there for quite a while." He laughs.

He opened the guest bathroom, but it was empty.

"Where could he be?" Honda asks himself as he checks every room in the house,
but still, no sign of Otogi.

"Maybe he's playing a game with me...and if I don't find him by morning, he'll
show himself."

Honda goes back to bed. The next morning, Honda awoke to hopefully feel Otogi's
body against his. He sat straight up in bed, knowing that something wasn't right.
Once again, he throughly searched the house and outside. But still, no Otogi.

"My Ra, where is he? What could have happened?! Maybe he went to work. I'll
try there."

Honda picked up his cell phone and dialed his game shop.

"Moshi moshi, Iteko speaking."

"Hi, this is Honda."

"Honda-sir, how may I assist you this morning?"

"Is Otogi there?"

"No, he hasn't reported to work yet. But I will tell him you callled as soon as
he walks in the door."

"Thank you. Bye."

He hung up the phone. Now he was really getting worried.

"Otogi...where are you?"

Otogi wakes up as a bird pecks at his hair. He looks up to see people walking
and jogging by him. He stood up and read thd that he was still in the park. A
gentleman stopped next to Otogi.

"Excuse me madam, are you ok?"

"Yes, I am."

The man looks at Otogi surprisingly.

"Oh, excuse me, I thought you were a lady!"

Otogi felt his hair, then realizing it was not in his usual style.

"I get mistaken for a female quite often when I have my hair like this. So,
it's no biggie."

"Well, sir, do you need a ride home? My car is just in that parking lot." The
guy says pointing towards his car.

"Ok..." Otogi says, walking with the guy.

They get in the car and the guy drives off.

"So, what's your name?" He asks.

"It's not important. I was betrayed. The one who I thought loved me, really
loves someone else!" Otogi yelled, needing to let that out.

"How can anyone betray a beautiful person like you? If you were like me, then
I would give you everything in the world. But since you're not..."

"What do you mean....like you? Do you have feelings for guys?"

"If you want to say that, then yes. I actually have feelings for both genders. So,
it really doesn't matter to me."

"Hmph. I thought the guy I loved, loved me too, but he doesn't like me. He likes
girls now."

"So, you do have feelings for guys also."

"Yes, this one in particular."

The ride was silent for a while until Otogi noticed they had passed the same
coffee shop 3 times.

"Where are you going sir?"

"I don't know. I thought I was supposed to be taking you home but..."

"No! I don't want to go there! I can go to your place." Otogi says cutting off the man.

"Fine then. We can go there."

*Dream Clown's POV*

"Well now, Anzu, how do you like that for starters?"

"Perfect. Who's next?"

"Whoever you choose my dear." I tell her.

But little does she know that I only have one goal in mind. One person to make
pay for the suffering I've been through. Yami, I will get you!
