xChapter 1x Bye-Bye Yugi
Yugi, a teenager who was very short for his age, with the most beautiful amethyst eyes and tri-coloured hair, sat on his bed holding a piece of white paper in his hands. A small smile graced his cherubic features as he read it over and over to himself. He finally got accepted into that Art College he always wanted to go to.
He got up from his bed and folded the letter up and put it in his pocket. He walked over to his closet and pulled out his duffel bag that he used when he slept over his friend's house. Yugi placed it on his bed and unzipped it. He had already gathered up all the things he needed, like clothes, his sketchpad, his pens/pencils, his books/mangas, shoes, toiletries, and other stuff that he might need while he was away. This he packed into his duffel bag and zipped it back up.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
Yugi looked at his closed bedroom door, where the knock came from. "Yes?"
"Yugi?" Yami's voice filtered into the room. "Can I come in?"
Yugi smiled. "Sure." He said looking around, making sure he didn't forget anything.
Yami opened the door and walked into the room, closing the door behind him. Yami looked almost exactly like Yugi, only he had more strands of blonde hair and piercing crimson eyes. He also was a little taller than Yugi. Yami looked at Yugi and then at the duffel bag on his bed. "Where are you going, hikari?"
"I told you, I'm going to college." Yugi said smiling.
"College?"
"It's school, Yami, I have to go there for four more years." Yugi explained.
"Why?" Yami asked sitting on his bed.
"So I can get a degree in something, like art or science or something."
"Why are you going to college?"
"You ask a lot of questions. For art, that's what I'm majoring in."
"Art, like…drawing?"
"Art like…yes drawing, painting, music, performing, singing, etc." Yugi said opening some drawers at his desk, making sure he didn't forget anything.
Yami scratched his head. "I thought art was drawing."
"Art can be a lot of things." Yugi said giggling.
"I am a spirit, Yugi, I don't know a lot of things."
"I know."
"When are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow afternoon, I have to get there by four thirty, and it's in New York, so I'm going to leave around twelve." Yugi said, pulling out his deck and placing it in the side pocket of his duffel bag. "Well I'm all packed up." Yugi sat down on his bed next to Yami.
9:30 The Next Day
"Okay, so do ya know who we're going ta invite?" Joey asked over the phone.
Yami sighed. "We're going to invite all our friends, Joey. You know Tea, Ryou, Bakura, Marik, Malik, and Serenity."
"What time?"
"As soon as possible, Yugi said he would be leaving around twelve."
"Whoa, he's in a rush ta leave us."
"He has to be there by four thirty, and it's in New York." Yami explained, looking towards the stairs to make sure Yugi wasn't coming. This was supposed to be a surprise.
"Um, well I'll tell Serenity, and I guess Marik and Malik. So you can call Tea, Bakura, and Ryou."
Yami growled, he really didn't feel like talking to that Tomb Robber, but this was for Yugi. "Fine."
"Okay well, I'll see ya later." Joey said hanging up.
Yami did the same and got the address book from the table next to the phone. He flipped through it until he came to Tea's phone number. He picked up the phone again and dialed the number. He listened to it ringing and smiled when someone picked up.
"Hello, Gardener residence, this is Tea speaking." A female voice said.
"Hi Tea, it's Yami."
"Hello Yami, why are you calling so early?" Tea asked.
"Yugi's leaving for college today and I wanted to throw him a surprise party."
"Oh!" Tea squealed. "That sounds great. I'll bring food and drinks. When should I come over?"
"As soon as possible, he's leaving around twelve."
"Okay well I'll see you soon!"
"Okay bye."
"Bye." Tea said hanging up the phone.
Yami flipped through the address book again and found Ryou's number. He picked up the phone again and dialed the phone number. A groggy Bakura answered the phone.
"What the hell do you want?" He yelled into the receiver.
"Hello to you too Tomb Robber." Yami growled.
Bakura snorted. "Hello to you too, Pharaoh." Before Bakura could say anything else, Ryou came and snatched the phone away from his yami.
"H-hello?" Ryou said yawning.
"Hello Ryou, I'm sorry for calling so early." Yami apologized.
"Oh, it's okay." Ryou said. "What's the matter?"
"Well, Yugi's leaving for college today, and I wanted to throw him a surprise party. I wanted to know if you two could come as soon as possible."
"Wow, already? Okay We'll get ready and be over in a little bit." Ryou said. "Bye."
"Bye!" Yami hung up the phone just as Yugi was coming down the stairs.
"Who was that Yami?" He asked, yawning.
"Uh…it was a salesperson, doing some survey thing." Yami lied. He had heard Yugi complain about those 'sales people' a lot.
"Oh, stupid sales people. They call so early." Yugi said walking into the kitchen.
Ryou hung up the phone and turned towards Bakura. "What are you doing, go get ready."
"Why?" Bakura asked, folding his arms across his chest.
"Yugi's leaving for college today, Yami's throwing him a party. Now c'mon. Don't you want to see the person you like before they leave?" Ryou said poking Bakura in the arm.
Bakura blushed and snorted. "W-What are you talking about?" He said turning his head.
"C'mon Bakura, I know about your little crush."
"Is it really that obvious?"
"Well you do stare at him a lot, and I saw your notebook. And there were pages with Yugi's name in little hearts." Ryou said smiling.
"Hey! Stop going through my stuff, you pest!" Bakura said, his face bright red.
Ryou giggled and pushed Bakura toward the stairs. "So go get ready! Sheesh." Bakura mumbled something under his breath, something along the lines of 'I'll kill you'. He made his way up the stairs and into his bedroom to get ready. Ryou shook his head and walked into the kitchen to make breakfast.
--
Bakura fidgeted in the driver's seat as he waited at the red light. Sure they could have walked to Yugi's house but, hey, Bakura liked to drive. Ryou looked over and rolled his eyes. "Bakura, stop it."
"Stop w-what?" Bakura said nervously, gripping the steering wheel, causing his knuckles to turn white.
"That. Why are you so nervous?" Ryou asked, turning off the radio. Bakura mumbled something under his breath and stepped on the gas pedal once the light turned green, causing Ryou to fall forward a bit. "Hey, don't hit the gas so hard." Ryou scolded, fixing his seatbelt.
"Whatever…" Bakura mumbled, sticking his tongue out and Ryou and turning a corner. His stomach did a flippy sorta thing when he saw Yugi's house come into view. (Kitty: Flippy sorta thing? Y'know when you get excited or nervous…or in Kura's case…BOTH!) 'Okay Bakura, just calm down and act like nothings going on. I mean c'mon the Pharaoh's there, might as well torture him. That will keep my mind off of Yugi.' Bakura was so deep in thought that he almost went past Yugi's house, until Ryou reminded him. Bakura blushed and turned into the driveway, turning off the car and taking the keys out of the ignition.
They walked up to the door and Ryou placed a comforting hand on his yami's shoulder. "Just be yourself Bakura." Ryou patted Bakura's shoulder and rang the doorbell.
Yugi opened the door and blinked when he saw Ryou standing there smiling and Bakura there…staring. Yugi blinked again. "Um…hello. What are you guys doing here so early?" He asked smiling.
"Um…well we just wanted to…um…say…hi!" Ryou said smiling.
Yugi gave Ryou a confused look but stepped back and let them in. "Well…hello to you too!" Yugi said happily as Ryou and Bakura made their way inside. Yugi ushered them into the den and told them to make themselves at home. "Would you two like anything to drink?"
Ryou shook his head. "No thank you." He said politely. He looked at Bakura nudging him in the arm.
Yugi walked over and waved his hand in front of Bakura's face. "Ba-Ku-Ra? You in there?" Yugi asked snapping his fingers.
Bakura came back from his reverie and looked into Yugi's large, innocent, kawaii, beautiful, adoring, loving (Kitty: Aww so many words to describe Yugi's eyes, whelp you get the point!). Bakura blinked and blushed a light shade of pink. I mean c'mon you would blush too having Yugi stare at you. "Uh, yea."
"You want something to drink?" Yugi asked smiling.
"No." Bakura stated flatly, blushing lightly.
Yugi nodded. "Okay…"
Yami walked downstairs and was about to walk into the kitchen when he spotted Yugi with Bakura and Ryou. His eyes went wide and he ran into the den. "Uh…what are you two doing here?" Yami said his left eye twitching.
"Well you did call us over Pharaoh." Bakura snorted.
Yugi's amethyst eyes went wide and he stared at Yami. "Yami?"
Yami's eye twitched more. "What are you talking about? I didn't call you over." Yami winked quickly.
Ryou gasped lightly. "Right, we just came over to say hi and see if you guys wanted to hang out..er…something!" Ryou said quickly, smiling sheepishly.
Bakura snorted and sat back, rolling his chocolate brown eyes. Yami sighed, Ryou caught on quite well (A/N: NO! No yamixRyou I HATE THAT COUPLE!) Yugi looked at Ryou, Bakura and then at Yami, rolling his amethyst eyes. "Whatever." He said, sounding oddly like Seto Kaiba (A/N: gomen I just HAD to mention him!), he walked up the stairs and into his room.
Yami turned to Ryou and Bakura once he heard Yugi's door close. "That was a close one."
"I'll say." Ryou said leaning back. "Why'd you have to open your big mouth Bakura?" Bakura snorted and glared at Ryou. "Oh…never mind." Ryou said quietly.
"Hopefully everyone will get here soon, so we can start this. Yugi will be leaving in like two hours." Yami whispered, sitting in the reclining chair next to the TV.
"Yea I thought everybody would be here already, I mean they live closer than we do." Ryou said looking towards the door.
"They should be here soon." Yami sighed.
As if on cue the doorbell rang and Yami jumped out of the chair and walked over to the door. He opened it and greeted Tea and Joey who were standing there with bags in their hands. Ryou and Bakura walked over and helped grab some of the bags, which they brought into the kitchen. Tea looked around, "Where are Marik and Malik?"
Ryou shrugged. "They didn't get here yet."
Bakura rolled his eyes. "Knowing them they'll probably be here 'fashionably late'." He snorted and began unpacking the things Tea and Joey bought, mostly sugary things.
Yugi walked downstairs and into the kitchen. He blinked a few times, looking at Tea, Joey, Bakura, Ryou, Yami…and then at the snacks they brought. "O-okay, what's going on here?" He smiled. "Are we having a party or something?"
Joey gasped. "Aright who told 'em?" He folded his arms over his chest and glared at Yami.
Yami sighed. "Joey, nobody told him. But it's not hard to figure out…now."
"So we are having a party? What's the occasion?" Yugi asked eyeing the candies.
Tea smiled and hugged Yugi. "We're throwing a party for you going away!"
Yugi frowned and pushed Tea away. "Oh so you guys want me to go away?"
"No Yugi, we're just happy that you got accepted!" Tea said cheerfully. Yami slapped his forehead, and Ryou and Bakura exchanged glances.
Yugi's frown deepened and he semi-glared at Tea (A/N: He can't glare fully). "Whatever." He said turning and walking back upstairs. Yami and everyone else in the kitchen soon heard a door slam upstairs, loudly, causing them all to inwardly wince.
Tea looked confused and she turned to the others. "I don't understand, what happened?"
"I think he took what ya said the wrong way."
"Why?"
"Well you made it sound like you were happy that he was leaving." Ryou stated, pulling out a bag of blue plastic cups and setting them on the table.
"I'm not happy that he's leaving, I'm just happy for him." Tea said folding her arms across her chest.
"Well maybe you should go tell him that." Yami reasoned.
"Well maybe he should come downstairs so we can start the party!"
Yugi paced around his room until finally sitting down on his bed. His bed was soft and he would miss sleeping in it, he didn't know how comfortable the dorm beds would be. He had gotten stuck with a double, and his room mates name was Vincent DelGaro (A/N: There will be random OCs in here…). He didn't know anything else about him since they hadn't given him his e-mail address. (A/N: When my brother got into college, he got a paper with his room mates name and e-mail addresses on it or something…)
He sighed and laid on his bed, smiling at how soft his comforters were. When he got to New York he would have to buy blankets and sheets, he had no room to fit his huge comforter into his bag. He sat up when he heard a knock on his door. He sighed. "Who is it?"
"It's me-e-e-e-e!" Tea said cheerfully.
"Come in." Yugi said laying back down and resting his head on his pillows.
Tea walked in and sat on the edge of the bed, a huge smile plastered on her face. "Hey, look I think you took what I said the wrong way. I never meant that I was happy that you were leaving, I'm just happy for you. Y'know the whole getting accepted for college thing?"
"Uh-huh." Yugi said staring up at his blue ceiling. Gosh, there was a lot of blue in his room.
"So why don't you come downstairs so we can start the party. We want to have fun before you have to leave." Tea said poking Yugi's leg.
Yugi chuckled. "Fine, I'll come down." He smiled and headed downstairs, Tea right behind him.
--
Yugi walked down stairs and into the den where Yami, Ryou and Bakura were sitting on the couch, obviously waiting for him. Yugi smiled. "Wow some party…" He said sarcastically.
Ryou laughed. "Well we were waiting for you. Also Marik and Malik aren't here. You know how they are when they come to a party."
Yugi sat down next to Yami on the love seat. "Yea remember during Malik's birthday party?"
Tea giggled. "They totally trashed the place."
"And Ishizu was so pissed." Joey said, remembering the night clearly.
….flashback….
"Happy Birthday Malik!" Bakura, Ryou, Yugi, Yami, Tea, Joey, Ishizu, and Marik yelled as Malik blew out the twenty-one candles on his birthday cake.
Marik smirked. "And since you're twenty-one now…" He went to the kitchen and came back out with a bunch of beer cans in his hands. "You can DRINK now!" Marik then began passing out beer cans to everyone in the room.
"Uh…I don't drink Marik." Yugi argued, placing the beer bottle on the table next to him.
"Pfft. Nonsense." Marik picked up the beer can. "Drink."
"No thanks."
Marik opened the can and put it to Yugi's lips. "Do it…"
"Don't make my hikari do anything he doesn't want to do!" Yami yelled, taking a gulp of his beer.
Marik grabbed Yugi's shoulders and poured some of the liquid into Yugi's mouth, causing Yugi to sputter and cough. Yugi pushed Marik away and wiped his mouth with his sleeve. "Tastes good doesn't it?"
"NO! I told you I don't drink." Yugi practically yelled.
Yami walked ovr and pushed Marik away, causing him to spill beer on himself." I told you to leave him alone." He growled.
Marik stuck out his tongue and took a gulp of his beer can, he threw Yugi's on the ground. "Marik! Do NOT make a mess!" Ishizu yelled.
….a few minutes later…
The party was a disaster. Basically everyone was drunk, except Yugi because he doesn't drink, and Ryou was kind of sober. Malik was busy throwing things around and having fun breaking lamps and other random things. Marik was laying on Yugi's lap and making kissing noises at him, Yugi trying to back up away from him. Tea was trying to dance on the DDR mat that they had set up on the play station, falling over a couple of times. Yami and Joey were passed out on the couch, snoring very loudly and sometimes mumbling in their sleep, something about squirrels? Bakura was still drinking, on his eleventh beer.
Ishizu had gone upstairs, unable to deal with the noise and the drunk weirdos in her house. The house itself was a complete wreck…glasses broken, empty beer cans thrown all over the place, couches messed up, etc. Ishizu was not going to like this…
….end flashback…(A/N: yea short flashback…:smiles: )
Yugi laughed. "Ishizu was really mad after that."
"I heard she grounded them." Tea giggled, covering her mouth with her hand.
DING DONG!
"They're here…" Ryou said, looking towards the door.
DING DONG!
"Somebody go and get it already!" Joey said.
Yami sighed and got up off the couch and made his way towards the door. "About time you two got here…"Yami said greeting the hikari and yami, sighing as he say the pack of beers they brought.
"Hey we're here, quit complaining and let the party begin!" Malik yelled, holding up a couple of beer cans. Marik came up behind him and gave a loud whoop, hugging Malik around the waist. (A/N: Yes marikxmalik…I'm not sure if you guys like that couple but…) "And Yugi, since you're leaving you have to have at least one beer before you go!" Malik said, winking in his direction.
Yugi giggled and waved his hand. "Fine, fine. But just one, you guys. I don't want to get drunk before I have to go to New York." (1)
Marik whooped again and sat down next to Yugi, handing him a beer. Yugi looked at it and made a disgusting face. Marik nudged him in the side, pouting (or at least trying to) cutely. Yugi smiled and opened his can, taking a small gulp of the liquid almost spitting it out when he did, but forced the icky liquid down his throat. Yugi gave a small smile, while trying to ignore the bad taste in his mouth. Marik and Malik smiled and began passing out the beers to everyone else In the living room, before settling down on the couch and opening their own cans.
Yugi moaned inwardly, rolling his amethyst eyes. This was not a good idea, Marik, Malik and beer did not mix well. He pulled down his sleeve and checked his watch. 10:45. Oh this was going to be fun…not.
-A few minutes later-
"So then I was all like…" Marik stopped and took another gulp of his beer. This was like his fifth one in a row. "I'm not a whore, just because I sell my body for ten cents an hour doesn't make me a whore."
"You're one cheap whore." Yami said throwing his empty beer can on the floor. The floor was now littered with tons of beer cans and bottles.
Malik smirked. "I have ten cents…hell I have a whole dollar."
Marik smirked back. "Oooh what are you gonna spend it on?"
"hehehe, I think you know." Malik said laughing. Marik got up and pulled Malik up with him. They ran upstairs and slammed a random door.
"DON'T USE MY BED!" Yami yelled upstairs before sitting back down on the couch and grabbing another beer can.
"Guys I think that's enough beer." Yugi said rounding up the empty beer cans and placing them in a garbage bag.
"NAH!" Ryou said. "C'mon Yugi live a little."
"Ryou, you're supposed to be on my side." Yugi said, grabbing the unopened beer can from Ryou's grasp. Ryou pouted and crossed his arms over his chest.
"C'mon Yugi, y'know ya like da beer." Joey said, propping his feet up on the coffee table.
Yugi pushed his feet off. "Feet off the table."
"You're so uptight." Joey said.
"If you guys are just going to get drunk then I'll leave now. I'll get there early so I can unpack my things before my roommate gets there." Yugi picked up the now filled garbage bag and walked into the kitchen. He placed the garbage bag by the back door and opened another one, he'd have to clean up a little before he left. He walked back out into the living room and stopped short. Bakura was on his knees picking up the crushed beer cans that had gotten thrown under the coffee table. Yugi shook his head and walked over to where Bakura was.
Bakura stood up and almost fell backwards when he saw his crush standing in front of him staring at him. He saw the opened garbage bag in Yugi's hands and dumped the cans he had picked up into it. Yugi cocked his head to one side and stared at Bakura. "Why are you cleaning up? Are you drunk too?"
Bakura laughed a little, a small blush creeping onto his pale skin. "Uh no, I am not drunk. I just thought I could help out before you have to leave."
Yugi smiled. "That's nice." He then bent over and began picking up the rest of the empty beer cans, frowning at the stains on the carpet. He sighed, he would have to clean that up also. Man these people made a mess.
Marik and Malik were still upstairs, three guesses as to what they were doing. Yami was gulping down beer after beer and throwing the empty cans at Joey who was half asleep on the couch. Ryou and Tea were playing a racing game and crashing their cars, laughing hysterically when they exploded. Bakura groaned. He walked over and helped Yugi in picking up the many cans of beer on the floor and placing them in the garbage bag.
Yugi picked up the filled garbage bag and walked it into the kitchen, placing it next to the other one. He opened the cabinet doors that were under the sink and began rummaging around for carpet cleaner. He smiled when he found it and got a rag towel from next to the sink. He walked back out into the living room and began scrubbing the large spots of beer that were on the carpet.
"Is there anything you want me to do?" Bakura asked leaning over Yugi.
Yugi looked up at him. "Um.." he looked around and noticed that Marik and Malik were still missing. "Well I would ask you to go and find Marik and Malik…but…"
"Uh…yea…" Bakura said chuckling nervously. "I wouldn't want to know what those two are doing at the moment. Or what room they are in."
"Yea me either. Why aren't you drinking?" Yugi asked, curious as to why Bakura was still sober.
"I quit last year, no more beer for me." Bakura said putting his hands up.
"Yea like I'm s'pposed to believe that load of crap." Yugi said going back to scrubbing.
"Well…I only drink beer on New Years how about that." Bakura said blushing.
Yugi smiled. "That's a little better, but I still think you drink more than that." Yugi got up and walked into the kitchen, Bakura following behind him, walking a bit too close to him. Yugi placed the rag near the sink and returned the carpet cleaner to where he found it. Bakura watched Yugi with interest. "Oh great…" Yugi said looking at the clock. "Cleaning up those guys messes takes a lot of time. I've gotta go or else I'll be late." He turned to leave and almost had a heart attack when he saw Bakura was just inches away from him. Yugi gasped. "Sheesh, do you have to be so close?" He asked placing a finger on Bakura's nose to push him away. Bakura bit down and Yugi pulled his finger back, afraid that Bakura would bite him. Yugi chuckled lightly and walked out into the living room where the drunks were still in the same spots. "I've gotta go everyone, I'll call you when I get there!" He yelled before running out into the foyer, grabbing his keys and jacket, and hopping in his car. (A/N I am making Yugi live in New Jersey, it's pretty close to New York, I'm not good at airplane rides :smiles: ) He turned the key and started up his shiny blue BMW and backed out of the driveway. He honked twice and rode off, Bakura waving to him from the living room window. Bakura watched as the car sped off, 'Did I actually try and bite him?' he asked himself. He shrugged, 'Oh well, I can bite him all I want…when he's mine.' He chuckled to himself. Yugi would be his, in time.
Bakura turned back towards the drunks, who were looking around trying to find out where the noise came from. Marik and Malik came down stairs, their hair ruffled and them looking dazed. Malik smiled, "You owe me…" He began counting on his fingers. "Thrity-five cents."
"I do not!" Marik exclaimed. "I owe you more than that…"
Malik thought for a bit and then giggled. "Oh yea…" he grabbed Marik's hand and led him over to the couch where Ryou and Tea were currently seated, still playing their game. "Wow are you guys drunk?" he asked poking Ryou's arm.
Bakura sighed and walked over, sitting down next to Marik. "Yea they all are, 'cept me and Yugi who left already."
Marik turned towards Bakura. "He left already?" Bakura nodded. "Wow the little one was in quite a rush to get out of here."
Malik pouted "And I wanted to have a threesome with him…" Marik and Bakura looked at him wide eyed. "What? Can't I joke around once in awhile?" He asked folding his arms across his chest. Bakura shook his head and Marik laughed hugging Malik around the waist.
"I love you."
"I love you too." Malik said giggling.
"Oh please do NOT make out in front of me." Bakura said.
"Oh you know you like it!" Marik said, smirking.
"NO I don't! Now help me get these beer cans away from these people." Bakura said indicating Yami, Ryou, Joey and Tea. Marik and Malik shrugged and they began helping Bakura gather up all the cans, empty or not, and throwing them out. They ignored the whines and curses that the drunks threw at them. "You guys shouldn't have been drinking this stuff." Bakura stated, grabbing a beer can from Yami's grasp.
"NO BEER FOR YOU!" Marik exclaimed trying to take the beer can from Tea. "Let it go!" He finally got the beer away from Tea and was now onto Ryou, who looked really really drunk. "Uh…hey Ryou…I've never seen you this drunk before." Marik said laughing.
Soon all the cans of beer were in the garbage, and those who were drunk were either sleeping on the couch or on the floor, i.e Joey. Bakura shook his head and sat down with Marik and Malik , who were currently sitting on the couch watching a random movie that was on the Sci-Fi channel.
