This is the first chapter of "A
Game of Chess". And this kind of has some profanity in it. If you are a big
Yukito fan, and you say you absolutely cannot live without him, DO. NOT.
READ. THIS! I repeat! DO NOT READ THIS! If you are, go back! o__o Go back! But,
if you just totally ignore this warning, and jump to reading, you can flame me.
Please R&R! ^^;

"Arigatou, Touya-kun!" thanked Yukito
sincerely as he opened up the gift. "You didn't have to get me a gift."
"Oh, but I did anyway. Not like
you hate it, do you?" giggled Touya fiendishly.
"No, of course not! I love how
you did your name."
"Do you like how I painted it?"
Touya pointed a finger at the vivid colors.
"Hai. It really stands out,"
complimented Yukito.
Touya and Yukito were sitting on
the couch together as Yukito studied the hand-crafted noodle bowl.
"You forgot the chopsticks,"
Touya added.
"There are chopsticks?" Yukito
dug through the small cardboard box. He took out a matching pair of colored,
thin chopsticks. At the end of each chopstick, showed that Touya had carved and
painted his name in Kanji.
"They match!" exclaimed Yukito
cheerfully. "Oh, this makes me feel like getting you a gift, Touya-kun."
"You don't need to," Touya told
him.
Yukito looked at him. Touya
quickly lost the fight.
"Oh, alright. You can—go get me
a gift," Touya said with a wave.
Yukito smiled and kissed Touya
on the lips.

Outside, watching the happy
couple was…
Nakuru.
"Chess," the brunette muttered
to herself as she disappeared into the distance.
~
"Touya," Yukito caught Touya's
attention.
"Hai?"
Yukito handed Touya a brightly
wrapped box. "Oh, Yuki." Touya unwrapped the gift and opened the box. Touya
lifted a glinting, small object. It was gold ring, bearing a tiny, blue gem in
the middle.
"How much did you spend on it?"
Touya gasped as he looked all around the ring. He flipped it upside down and
saw the name "Yukito" in Kanji.
"That doesn't matter, my love.
Just as long as you're happy," smiled Yukito. Just as Yukito and Touya were
going to embrace each other—
"TOUYA-KUN!"
Nakuru pounced onto Touya's
back, and the ring leaped from Touya's fingers. Yukito quickly caught it in his
hands.
Touya yelled. "NAKURU! YOU ARE
SUCH A—"
"Oh, Touya, you're such a fool!"
giggled Nakuru as she released her grasp.
"If you are a king and you come across an unworthy—" Nakuru glanced at
Yukito and shut her eyes immediately. "—pawn, you must remove it, ne?"
Touya stared blankly at the
agitated girl. "Nakuru—what are you talking about?"
Nakuru sniggered gleefully.
"You'll find out soon enough!" She waved. "Ja matta ne!" Nakuru then ran off.
Touya and Yukito blinked.
"What's with her?" wondered Touya.
"Too much sugar for breakfast?"
chuckled Yukito. "Here." He gave Touya the ring back.
"That stupid girl," Touya
scowled under his breath. "Well, I'll see you later, snow bunny." Touya and
Yukito kissed, then Touya walked the short distance home by his bicycle.
"Touya," Sakura beckoned Touya
to come into the kitchen.
"What now, monster?" sighed the
older boy.
Sakura ignored his insult and
continued on. "So you know?"
"Know what?"
"That—Yukito isn't-"
Touya nodded. Sakura took a tiny
gulp. "And that I-"
"Hai, hai," Touya said annoyed. Touya
walked up the stairs and into his room.

"The pawn is growing weak, my king. Sacrifice it,"
murmured Nakuru to herself in a malicious tone. Her brown eyes narrowed,
staring at the large yellow house from a tree. She remained hidden beneath the
green leaves.
~
The next day, Touya was getting
rather suspicious when he sensed Nakuru's presence. But Yukito was perfectly
fine.
During PE class, Nakuru
whispered to Yukito:
"Follow me after school. Alone."
Yukito didn't say anything. He
was wondering what to expect…
~
Yukito followed Nakuru to the
park.
"What is it Nakuru-san?" He had
been dying to ask her ever since PE class.
~
"Yuki? Yuki, where are you?" Touya called out,
walking in the empty streets. He heard a feminine voice speaking that he'd
recognize anywhere. Nakuru. He hid behind the large penguin slide and watched
the conversation.
"I have to remove the pawn from
the game. It's about to die. Yet another piece to fail the king," Nakuru said
to Yukito.
Yukito gave a look of terrible bewilderment.
"What?"
One corner of Nakuru's lips
slowly curved, forming a spiteful smirk. "You're about to removed from the
game, Yukito. Your time has come."
"What are you talking about,
Nakuru?" Yukito asked, most awfully baffled by her words.
Suddenly Nakuru pointed a loaded,
silver pistol straight at Yukito's chest. She cocked the gun. Yukito retreated
a few steps, frightened to death. Touya's eyes expanded.
"The queen will remove you from
the game now," told Nakuru. Her right index finger pulled the trigger, causing
a bang that could unambiguously be heard for miles.
In a matter of milliseconds, the
lead bullet struck Yukito in the chest, allowing crimson liquid splatter out
and hit the floor. It was as if everything was in slow motion.
Yukito fell backwards to the
cold concrete as his spectacles flew from his face and shattered to pieces.

Remember, this is only chapter one! ^^ I'M SORRY
THAT YUKITO-KUN DIED! The story just popped into my head one day while I was
still working on my "Snow Bunny to Winged Angel" fic.
