For The Love of Nature, It's a Tree!
Summary: Yami is just getting used to the 'modern conveniences' when he is majorly freaked out by Yugi, who happened to fall in love with a… better not say it. You can probably tell by the title though. Read and review if you can!

Hey, Satori Opaque here! Just to let you know, this is going to be written in Yami's point of view… Also, I might over-emphasize a character's bad points… Oh yeah, and I don't accept flames. If you can't stand the story idea, just leave like now. This is meant to be a humor fic, so there won't be any serious romance. I'm not going to use the Japanese names or terms, mainly 'cause I can't be bothered doing that and also, I don't really know how to use them.
Ok, here goes:

Yugi's New Love Life
It's been awhile after our 'adventures' in the Duelist Kingdom. I can't say much has changed, other than Yugi forcing me to attend 'school' and teaching me the benefits of the modern society. I wasn't too happy about him nagging me day after day, but eventually, I got used to it.
As much as I don't like to admit it, I do appreciate Yugi helping me out there. If he hadn't taught me of many things, I would've thought that toasters were weapons that shot out bread and that blowing up science labs intentionally wasn't even a rule to be considered. But that does NOT compare to what once happened… It freaked me out so much it wasn't funny.
Trust me, being locked away in a Millennium item for a whole millennia can be very, VERY hazardous for your health.
***
It began that one fateful day, when I just /happened/ to be too nosy for my own good. I regret it to this day on.
It was on a bright sunny 'Saturday' (these days of the weeks, as Yugi refers to them as) when it happened. I was sitting in our living room, trying to work the 'remote control' that changed channels on the magic box thingy… I think it's called a television or something… Yugi ran in, apparently blushing, acting all like a lovesick puppy. I wish I hadn't decided on pressing the matter…
"Yugi, what's the matter?"
"Oh… Nothing… Nothing at all Yami. You don't have to worry." He gave me a bright smile.
I raised an eyebrow. "Oh? You don't act like you're ok."
Yugi was slightly offended. "Yami, I said I was fine!
I was slightly put aback, since Yugi rarely spoke like that. Unfortunately, that made me want to know even more.
"Come on, Yugi. I /am/ your darker half after all. I have the right to know what's troubling you." I frowned. On closer inspection, I saw that Yugi's face was positively pink.
"I said NOTHING!" With that, he ran up to his room, leaving me sitting there, dumbfounded.
Well, not quite. I wasn't completely oblivious. I smirked, saying: "Well, well. It seems that our little friend Yugi has finally found a love life…" That led me to another thought. Who was it that claimed his heart, though?
***
It had been one whole week, but Yugi still hadn't said a word to me. He occasionally darted out the house, running off to somewhere – I don't know where. I was becoming increasingly edgy and overly curious… Curiosity killed the cat, but it worked for everyone else.
That night, being the impatient idiot that I am, I stormed into Yugi's room, demanding entrance. He didn't say anything, just let me in. Giving him my signature glare, I plopped down on his bed.
"Well Yugi, what do you have to say about yourself?" My glare didn't falter, even though he was putting on his 'I'm so innocent' act.
"About what?"
My glare intensified. "Your 'secret' or whatever you're hiding! Over the past week you've been running around, acting like a lovesick DOG! I demand the right to know what's going on! Being your darker half, you SHOULD confide in me! I'm fairly hurt that you didn't!"
Yugi looked down, tears welling up in his eyes. "I- I'm sorry, Yami… I j- just didn't know how to tell you…" He started wailing. "I didn't mean to hurt you!!!"
I raised an eyebrow. He did this so often I wasn't fazed by it anymore.
"Sure, sure, ok, ok, I accept your apology…" Yugi immediately stopped crying and looked at me, grinning from ear to ear. "Anyways, you aren't off the hook yet. Tell me what you're so happy about."
Yugi blushed. "Oh, that…" He looked down at the floor, shuffled his feet and giggled in an almost embarrassed way.
"I, uh… Kinda met this individual whom I really… er… like…"
I smiled. Now we were getting somewhere. "And?"
Yugi continued, red as a tomato. I must say, however, he did look slightly moronic blushing. "Well, she's – "
"It's a girl?"
He glared at me. "What, you thought I was interested in guys?"
I shrugged. "I wouldn't be surprised if you were."
He ignored that comment and snapped back into his dreamy state. "Well, she's very beautiful… and nice… and sweet… and… I just love her soooo much… Hey I know Yami! I'll take you to meet her tomorrow!"
I smiled. It was rare Yugi was /that/ happy.
He dashed back up to his room, but not before poking his head back out, grinning like maniac. "Oh, and her name's Sakura. Don't forget that." [A/N No, this isn't a crossover of any sort.]
***
The very next day, at, let's say, the crack of dawn, a very hyperactive Yugi rammed down my door, awakening from my sleep in the rudest of ways. I must say, as much as I care for him, everyone has a limit.
"WHAT?!" I threw off the covers, extremely pissed off. "For heaven's sake, it's fricking only 5:30 A.M.! I am TRYING to get some decent sleep here!" I looked around, surveying the room, whilst noting to self I had to get a new door.
Yugi, for once, didn't tell me off for swearing, even though it was only one inoffensive word. "Come on! I said I'd bring to see Sakura today!" He tossed me a ball, which in further inspection I noticed them to be my clothes. "Get dressed!"
Giving him an exceptionally irritated glare, I threw off my pajamas and hastily stepped into my clothes. Why the hell this person would consent to meeting Yugi at this hour of the day was way beyond me, but hey. Maybe the world has changed much more drastically in terms of relationships…
He was practically dragging me out by now. I had no choice but to stumble aimlessly behind his lead. I'm not so sure he was in our realm, because he paid no attention to where he was going. Yugi managed to walk smack into the front door without even opening a crack of it. I sighed.
"You might want to try /opening/ the door, then walking out."
"Uh, right Yami. Thanks."
Wrenching open the door (and off its hinges in the process), he dashed out the door, apparently forgetting he was dragging a rather heavy load… Me. Sighing again, I struggled to keep up with him, while trying to pry his grip off.
We were heading the direction of the park. I groaned, because Yugi's death grip on me was getting a little painful.
"Um, Yugi, if you don't mind me asking, why did your girlfriend agree to meeting you at this ungodly hour?"
"She doesn't mind. She's always at the park anyways."
"Always at the park…?"
We rounded at few more corners. Yugi was dragging me, and I was trying hard to stay awake. Every few minutes, I found I had to regain my balance, for the speed he was traveling in, I was surprised it was even coming from Yugi. 'Boy', I thought, 'He must be really anxious to meet whoever he's taking me to meet.'
After a couple more strides, we ended up in the park. I looked around, trying to spot a girl of any sort, sitting on a bench, pacing about – but my efforts were futile. No one was in sight. I was becoming increasingly confused by the minute, and it rose up a few notches when Yugi dragged me into a small forest nearby the park.
"Why the forest? I thought you were meeting her in the park."
He paid no heed. Yugi was more or less… searching for something, I don't know what. Muttering things under his breath like 'Nope, that's not her' or 'I /know/ it's somewhere around here', he pushed through the mass of leaves and branches, until we came to a small clearing. In the center of it stood one solitary Sakura tree.
I blinked. No one was there.
"Yugi, are you sure you got the right time and place?" Taking in the scenery, I was positive that there wasn't a soul about – unless Yugi hadn't told me about invisible people.
Yugi nodded cheerily and walked over to the tree. Wrapping his arms around it possessively, he grinned ear to ear. "Yami, I'd like you to meet Sakura."
I was utterly appalled. Feeling my head swim at the prospect of falling in love with a tree was overloading. Stammering, I asked him a question. "Yugi, do people in these days usually fall in love with… trees?"
He shook his head, the crazed grin still plastered on his face. "Nope." He said in a singsong voice, acting all lovey-dovey. "I just chose to do so."
With that final comment, I sank into a dead faint, vaguely hearing Yugi call out "Yami!" in a panicked voice.
***
When I regained consciousness, I noticed it was way past 5:30 A.M. Instead, the sun was positioned a little past the middle of the sky, making it approximately 1:00 P.M. My vision was slightly foggy, but after a few blinks, I managed to observe my surroundings once again.
Yugi was overhead, pacing about (trying to be as close to the tree as possible), wringing his hands in worry and whimpering. He looked back down at me, then gave a cry of joy when he saw I was awake.
"Yami! You're awake!"
Despite being rather peeved off at Yugi, I smiled. "Shouldn't you know by now I'm a fighting person?"
He nodded excitedly. I heard a voice from behind. "Took you long enough."
Turning around, there was Seto Kaiba and Mokuba. I stood up, brushing myself off.
"Seto? What are you doing here?" We had become fast friends a while after our adventure in the virtual reality game, managing not to bicker like little kids in a playground anymore.
He raised an eyebrow. "Oh, Yugi jumped out of the bushes and begged me to come here, so Mokuba and I followed him here. We were just passing by in the park. What happened anyways?" We looked at the other two, who seemed to be chatting animatedly, not noting us having our own.
"Jumped out of the bushes…?"
"…Yeah."
I interrupted Yugi and Mokuba in their conversation. "Uh, Yugi, wouldn't the best thing you could have done is call the paramedics? I'm sure I wasn't in danger of any sort, but isn't that what you told me to do in situations like this?"
He nodded, still grinning like an idiot. "Yeah, but I couldn't bear it to leave Sakura so suddenly." He walked over to the tree and began cuddling it once more.
I felt slightly annoyed. "The tree is more important than me?"
He didn't seem to hear me.
Seto looked rather confused. "Would you mind explaining to me what in the seven, or nine," he added, "hells is going on?"
I groaned. "Yugi, you're going to have to tell everyone eventually. Start with him." Looking over at Seto, who was still very much confused, I muttered, "Brace yourself."
Yugi nodded and bounced over. "Oh, Seto!" He hopped up and down. "I know this is rather sudden, but I'd like you to meet Sakura." He pointed over to the tree. "She's my girlfriend!"
I managed to catch Seto right before he fainted.
