A/N: This is the sequel to my other story, 'Is it Wrong?', which is a fairly short one shot. I don't plan on this being a one-shot, so this is the first chapter of I-don't-know-how-many. JollyBigSis wanted me to write a sequel, and it was very encouraging, so here I am ^^
I'm not too sure about this one... In any case, the first few rough chapters I wrote were a lot worse. The first was still in Kaiba's view, had way too many weird details about Mokuba, and was just weird. Then the other was from Yami's point of view and just way too dialogue-y and had even more ooc-ness then this. Well, since you probably don't really want to read about my failures in writing, I'll get on with all the necessities ^^
WARNING: This is a prideshipping fic, KaibaXYami, so shonen ai. If you have something against gays, just don't read any of this. At all. Also, I feel the need to warn people about the character ooc-ness.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh in ANY way. I'm not even friends with Kazuki Takahashi. If I did, there would be a lot less card games and a lot more boy action.
I've gone on long enough; enjoy the end result ^^
The lights were off, his eyes were closed, but Kaiba laid in bed thinking instead of sleeping. So Yami has his own body. Does this prove something? No, it doesn't. Kaiba already knew Yami was a separate personality. It was impossible for him to be a separate person though wasn't it? Maybe Yami having a body proved he was a separate person. But Kaiba didn't feel surprised. Knowing that Yami was a separate person... Kaiba didn't feel like anything had changed. Had he been thinking of Yami as his own person the whole time? Great, his mind had been betraying him for even longer than he thought. And then with what happened earlier...
Kaiba didn't know what he'd been thinking. Normally he always thought things through. Always. But his hand... He didn't even know what he was doing until he saw his hand on Yami's cheek. While his hand was moving, he'd felt like a third person, only seeing the action. But when his hand made contact... It had only been a touch, but... His hand could still feel Yami's skin... Kaiba shook his head. No. No, no, no. He... 'loved' Yami, but he couldn't think like this. He couldn't think about Yami like he was going to act on his... affections.
Kaiba sighed, forcing some thoughts out of his head. He refused to let his brain think about Yami so much. It was unproductive. Kaiba opened his eyes and looked at the clock. The bright blue lights were a bit much to stare at when his eyes had gotten so used to darkness, but Kaiba forced his eyes to stay open. After a few seconds, he could actually read the numbers. 2:37 AM. The last time he'd looked at the clock had been four hours ago. Had he spent all of the time thinking about Yami? Kaiba sighed again. He closed his eyes for just a moment, and fell into an old, recurring nightmare. The one Yami had given him.
Shit. Kaiba had completely forgotten that he had school the next day. And as he walked into the classroom, much earlier than necessary, of course, he realized that there was a good possibility that Yami would be there. Knowing Yugi, he would want to be around his friend all day, or at least most of it. And Yami could get an education. It would work out well for both of them. But not Kaiba. He was already trying to avoid thoughts about Yami, and having Yami in the same room would be... detrimental. Not that Kaiba was expecting to have Yami in the same class or anything.
But Yami technically didn't exist. Kaiba mentally relaxed. You couldn't get into a school without certain documents, unless you were willing to pay a lot of money. Kaiba knew that Yugi's family wasn't obscenely rich. Not like himself. So Yami wouldn't be in school today. Kaiba calmly waited for school to start.
The bell finally rang, loud enough to break through the annoying chatter. Kaiba saw Yugi telling his friends something and all of them giggling. Whatever; it was probably about something idiotic. The teacher took roll, but was interrupted by knocking. He told the class to be quiet, which everyone ignored, and opened the door.
...What the hell?
This... should not be possible, not at all.
Yami met Kaiba's eyes for a moment, and Kaiba quickly made sure his eyes lost any trace of expression. Kaiba mentally frowned; Yami had probably already seen how shocked he had been. How could Yami possibly have gotten enrolled in school? Kaiba tried to figure it out, but couldn't think of how Yami could be in school. Kaiba heard Yami give some generic greeting, then sit down with Yugi-tachi. Kaiba listened, but heard nothing on how Yami got there. Kaiba needed to know. He'd just have to ask.
Kaiba soon realized that Yugi was almost constantly around Yami. But he also noted, with pleasure, that Yami kept some distance between himself and the rest of the group, nearly interacting with only Yugi. He smirked whenever he saw Yami miss what they said completely. He also saw Yami flinch a few times when they touched him. Kaiba smirked at that. He couldn't help but feel like he had won a game of some sort. Yami hadn't flinched when Kaiba had suddenly touched him. And seeing as Kaiba himself hadn't even seen it coming, he knew Yami sure as hell hadn't known what was happening.
Finally, Yugi left Yami alone for a moment. It was close to the end of lunch, but there was enough time for Kaiba to walk over to him and get an answer. It was killing him, not knowing how Yami had gotten in. Kaiba walked over, wasting no time. He had wasted enough waiting for Yugi to leave.
"Yami." Yami turned, his eyes meeting Kaiba's. That was one of the things Kaiba had always noticed about Yami. Yami would look him straight in the eyes. Most people wouldn't look him in the eyes at all. Not even Mokuba could hold his gaze when Kaiba was mad. But for Yami, it didn't matter. He'd stare back no matter what.
"Kaiba," Yami nodded a bit. He was standing with his hands in his pockets, still facing the direction Yugi had left in.
"How are you here?" Kaiba decided to just ask, leaving out the meaner word. Yami smiled a little, like he had known that's what Kaiba was going to say. It made Kaiba a little pissed off, but he left his face emotionless and waited for Yami's answer.
"Do you mean how am I here, or how am I here?" Kaiba mentally sighed. Only Yami would answer Seto Kaiba's question with another, more confusing question.
"Don't be stupid. How are you in school?" Yami cocked his head to the side a little.
"You mean you don't have any interest in how I have my own body?" He asked, "None at all?"
"You'll probably just say it's some magic bullshit, so why should I want to know? All I need to know is how you're in school. 'Magic bullshit' is not an acceptable answer."
"Why do you want to know?" Kaiba was about to get really pissed, but he saw Yami's eyes. They were almost playful... Was Yami teasing him? Kaiba smirked at the thought. At the same time, he realized that it was a ridiculous conclusion. Yami wouldn't tease him. Right?
"Look, you can't get into school if you appear like you did," Kaiba explained, as if Yami didn't know this already. Yami smiled at him, not escaping Kaiba's notice.
"Let me think," Yami put his hand to his chin, as if thinking deeply, "It just happened so suddenly. Like... Magic."
"Dammit, Yami." Kaiba growled, but there wasn't any real anger in it, and Yami laughed. It was soft, quiet, and only for a moment. It was more like a chuckle, but not. Kaiba couldn't place it. Yami was about to say more, when Yugi came back.
"Hi, Kaiba." Yugi smiled, but Kaiba could see that he was confused. Was him talking to Yami that weird? Or the other way around?
"Yugi." Kaiba acknowledged Yugi, then turned his attentions back to Yami. "So? Are you going to tell me?"
"Actually, I'm not sure. Grandpa took care of it." Yami confessed. Kaiba's jaw would have dropped if he hadn't had such perfect self control. Luckily he did, possibly except when his mind was turning on him in love-related situations.
"So this was all a waste of time?" Kaiba kept his voice low. Yugi looked a bit wide-eyed. Good. At least he could still scare one of them. But Yami just looked him in the eye.
"It depends on how you look at it."
"It was unproductive, I've learned basically nothing," Kaiba hoped Yami didn't notice the 'basically' that he'd had to add, since after all he did learn that his rival could tease. Well, if Yami had noticed, he didn't comment.
"I see," Yami replied. That's it? He had at least been expecting Yami to say more than just two words. Kaiba was about to make some smart-ass comment, but was interrupted by the bell. Without saying anything, he turned and walked away.
At least he'd kept decent self control around Yami.
A/N: So how was it? I'm probably not as happy with it as I should. See? See the ooc-ness? (I really shouldn't have listened to Card Captor Sakura songs and No Matter What while writing this... I mean, Kawaita Sakebi was necessary, but some were just horrible for writing a good prideshipping fic. Especially Groovy, that song was playing while writing the dialogue. Seriously detrimental to the content X3)
So please review! And constructive critiscm. Any mistakes found are welcome too, just no flames~
Also, feel free to suggest ideas for the chapters or something. My brain is getting lazy over summer break. A weird thing I noticed, my meme is the longest thing I have posted 0.o
See you in the next chapter! ^^ (Unless you hated it. Then... I'm sorry.)
