NEW AUTHOR'S NOTES: Well, I'm finally back. Chances of people remembering me… probably not very good, but for the readers who read this story and then wondered what happened- here ya go! Basically, didn't' like the mature content of this story and took them down and revoked my uploading privileges.. I did NOT want to edit my story (i.e. take out the lemon scenes) so I've been stuck wondering what to do… Now, I think I finally have a solution! So, without further ado, I give you the first chapter of my story, exactly how it was when I first uploaded it
---
Author's Notes: Ok, so I've wanted to write a Lemon for a long time... Finally worked up the nerve to do one.. and here it is! Obviously, this ISN'T just a Lemon fic- it's got story with it too. It IS NOT just a mindless Sex fic, 'kay?
Oh, by the way... I am QUITE GRAPHIC in this... Notice that 'quite graphic' is Capitol, Bold AND Italic—it's like that for a reason. Now, you're 'safe' in the first chapter- Lemon is not until Chapter 2, so, I SUPPOSE you could just read Chapter 1 if you don't like it...
Lastly, since I'm just plain saying this will have Lemon Scenes, if you don't like, don't read! PLEASE! I wanna know what people think of this, so if you don't like this kind of content, just ignore the story! Thanks in advance!
Coupling- Yugi x Anzu (my fave couple )
HOT SUMMER DAYS
By: NightmareDreams
Chapter 1:
A Day at the Beach
The large moon hung high and pale, swimming amidst the blackness of night and the stars, ushering forth the warm summer eve. A gentle breeze swept across the ground, which was illuminated abnormally well by the beautiful sky. Such a peaceful night was almost ironic to the emotions that mingled among the sweet smelling air: excitement and anticipation over the reprieve from school and the seemingly endless possibilities that the summer did hold.
Light cascaded from a second-story window onto the neatly trimmed lawn below. The light came from a room, in which a girl lay on her bed. The girl's head rested comfortably against a pillow, her pretty brunette hair strewn messily across it. Her eyelids hung low, hiding her dazzling blue eyes behind dark lashes.
As another light breeze blew through the open window of her room, a blush suddenly flashed across the beautiful girls face, followed by a nervous smile. Slowly she sat up and pulled knees towards herself, laying her face gently onto them.
"Yami..." she said quietly, as she continued to grin softly.
She didn't know why he would pop into her head, but he just would... She loved his grin that made her flush red... His mysterious and intense gaze... His voice that sent chills down her spine... His well toned body... She never would have thought that her best friend, such a pushover and bully magnet, Yugi, could become some one so opposite, and make her feel this way...
Suddenly the phone on her side table rang, snapping her out of her day-dream. She reached over and picked up the phone.
"Hello, Masaki residence," the girl said into the phone.
"Hi, Anzu! How'ya doin'?" came a friendly and enthusiastic voice that Anzu knew very well.
"Oh, hi Yugi," Anzu replied. She blushed a little further and was thankful that Yugi did not know what she had just been thinking about... "I'm doing good. You?"
"Yeah, I'm doing great! Hey, I was just wondering..." Yugi began nervously, his heart-rate rising a little more. "Jonouchi and Honda are busy tomorrow, so... I was just thinking... You wanna, maybe, do something together?" Yugi said, trying to sound as casual as possible.
"Sure, I've got nothing planned. What do you have in mind?" Anzu said back, slowly standing up, and moving across her room absent mindedly.
"Well... uh... According to the weather guy, it's supposed to be hot tomorrow. How about we go swimming?" Yugi said, his voice faltering slightly.
"Ok. Our pool is being cleaned tomorrow, so how does the beach sound to you?" Anzu said, tucking some of her hair behind one of her ears.
"Great! I guess I'll see you tomorrow then," Yugi said happily. "How 'bout I swing by around two o'clock?"
"Ok, sounds good," Anzu replied. A smile flashed across her face as she and Yugi exchanged good-byes, and then hung up the phone.
As she sat in the quiet that followed the phone call, her thoughts continued to dwell on Yami. She had rarely seen him, much less gotten to really talk to him... Even so, her heart beat a little faster and her face felt warm as she thought of him.
For so long she had wanted to meet him... Really meet him and be able to talk to him... But every time Yami came out of Yugi, she hadn't gotten a chance...
"Maybe..." she thought, hopefully. "Maybe... I'll see him tomorrow..."
The thought resonated through her body, causing a shiver to run down her back. Slowly she laid back down on her bed, her heart still beating a little harder then usual.
"See you tomorrow," she said to the picture of Yami in her head. And at that, she slowly drifted into a dream filled sleep, a cute smile nestled on her face...
As Yugi hung up the phone, he let out a sigh of relief. Lately, it had gotten harder and harder for him to ask Anzu to do anything, whether Jonouchi or Honda were with him or not... Yugi and Anzu had been friends since they were in kindergarten, and he had never thought of her any other way then a really good friend.
Until lately.
"What is it Aibou?" Yami asked from inside Yugi. He could feel Yugi's emotions: his nervousness and the slight excitement. He knew all too well Yugi's feelings for Anzu.
Yugi sat down on his bed and leaned his head against the wall behind him. "I didn't even ask her out..." Yugi just let the sentence hang, but Yami understood. "Why is it hard to just ask her to do something...? I'd never be able to actually ask her on a date..." Yugi continued.
Yami felt Yugi's heart sinking slightly. Yugi was one of the shyest and quietest people there was- he hadn't made a single friend other then Anzu until this, his tenth grade in school. And even then, Yami had been quite involved in Jounouchi, Honda and Yugi's friendship.
"You don't know that," Yami said, trying to comfort Yugi. "You just asked her to do something tonight and she said yes," Yami continued.
"That doesn't count," Yugi said indignantly. "Do you think she even likes me...?"
"Listen," Yami said, breaking through Yugi's self-doubt. "You don't know how she feels about you, or what her response would be if you asked her out. Stop being so pessimistic, you won't get anywhere beating yourself up."
Yami felt his words' impact on Yugi. They both fell silent; the tension slowly dispersing, leading to a twinge of guilt by Yugi.
"I know... I guess I'm just a little frustrated... I don't know what to do..." Yugi said slowly.
"And I understand that. Just trust things will work out, ok?" Yami said reassuringly.
"Alright. Thanks Yami..."
And with that, Yugi slowly laid back, his mind at ease. The golden puzzle that hung from a chain around his neck gleamed slightly in the light from the lamp Yugi had yet to turn off. Yami appeared as a ghostly outline next to Yugi and smiled as he watched him slowly drift to sleep.
"Sleep well, Aibou... Things will work out for you..." Yami whispered. And with that, he vanished into the puzzle.
The next day was a hot one, indeed. Despite the clouds that floated along in a misleadingly care-free way, the sun hung high and ominous, mercilessly beating down on the ground below with its rays. A lone figure walked along a sidewalk known well by him, occasionally wiping his forehead on his sleeve. The houses that lay along the cement that he strode all had windows thrown wide open; all hoping to tempt a non-existent breeze into their homes and relieve them from the intense heat.
"Sure is a hot out..." Yugi said to Yami, inside his head. "It'll be good when we finally get to the beach..."
Yami smiled from within Yugi.
A few minutes later, Yugi turned and walked up a path to the familiar house, right up to the door, which had a sign hanging from it reading 'Masaki'. Yugi reached out his hand but paused before it reached the oak wood of the door. His heart was beating a little faster again. He took a deep breath and knocked twice, before taking a small step back and waiting anxiously.
He heard stirring within the house followed by the door swinging open suddenly, revealing a very beautiful girl. She had on a white dress, covered decoratively with small, red strawberries. The top of the dress had a very slight 'v' line, which went across her chest, high enough not to show any cleavage, yet leaving nothing but two straps hiding her well shaped and tanned shoulders. The dress flowed seamlessly down her body, stopping in a skirt a few inches above her knees, accenting her legs.
Yugi suddenly felt a little self-conscious; he was wearing his normal school uniform: the navy blue pants with matching blue jacket, covering the plain white button-down shirt he wore underneath.
"Hi Yugi!" Anzu said with a smile that made Yugi's heart jump into his throat. "Ready to go if you are," she continued happily.
Yugi swallowed hard. "I'm ready," he said, his voice cracking slightly at the end. A blush flashed across his face as he hoped Anzu hadn't noticed.
"Cool. Let me just grab my bag," Anzu responded, disappearing for a couple seconds. When she returned, she had a yellow backpack slung over her shoulder.
So off they went, walking the few blocks to the beach. Every once in a while a car would pass them; most of the passengers inside throwing superior looks at the two- riding inside their air-conditioned car, although a few guys Yugi knew from school ogled at him causing him to blush: they all wanted to be the one walking beside Anzu.
Either Anzu didn't notice, or simply ignored them, because, much to Yugi's relief, she paid no attention to them.
While they walked, Yugi and Anzu made small talk. Nothing too exciting- simple happenings, funny stories, things they saw on TV and rumors they heard. Every once in a while there would be an awkward silence during which Yugi would rack his brain for some new, interesting topic. He would have given anything to be the type of guy who was naturally funny, or some one who just had a lot of interesting thoughts or ideas.
But he really wasn't.
About twenty minutes later they crossed a road and where finally able to see the beach.
"Whoa..." Anzu said, staring, mesmerized, out over the sea of beach towels, umbrellas, coolers and innumerable people.
"I guess we weren't the only ones who thought today would be a good day for the beach..." Yugi retorted. "Maybe there's still a good spot left though," he added hopefully.
"Well, we better hurry before ALL the good spots are taken!" Anzu said, flashing Yugi an adventurous smile.
The two hurried down to the beach, eyes peeled for a spot. After ten minutes of beach combing they found a good one, a little ways away from most of the other people. They threw their blankets out over the hot sand and set their bags down. Yugi kicked off his shoes and socks and then dug his feet into the sand absentmindedly, letting out a gentle sigh.
The rest of the day went pretty well in Yugi's mind. He had managed not to let his eyes pop out of his head when he saw Anzu come back in her pink swimsuit, and covered up a 'squeak' with a fake coughing fit when Anzu had asked him to put sun-tan lotion on her back.
Eventually, people who had kids started to leave, causing the overall volume of the atmosphere to drop considerably. Yugi looked over at the food stands and then stood up.
"How about I get us some ice cream?" he said spontaneously.
"I'd like that," Anzu said looking over at him, a relaxed smile on her face.
Yugi walked off across the beach toward the ice cream stand, leaving Anzu to her thoughts. She had had a wonderful time today with Yugi. She HAD always liked him a little bit... But compared to Yami... She let out a small sigh, continuing to think about the two, until she was suddenly interrupted.
"Hey... What are you doing here?" came a voice, laced with a hint anger.
Anzu looked up to see a guy her age standing in front of her. "What do YOU want," she said back to him.
"I thought you said you were busy today?" the guy said back.
"What I said was that I wouldn't go out with you. Period," Anzu spat angrily.
As Yugi walked back with two ice cream cones in his hands, he noticed the guy talking to Anzu. "I wonder who he is..." Yugi said to Yami. As he got closer he could hear them; they were boarder-line shouting at each other, which made Yugi nervous, so he decided to sprint the rest of the way up.
"Who are you here with anyway?" the guy shouted.
"What's up Anzu?" Yugi said.
Anzu closed her eyes and let out a sigh; the last thing she wanted to do was get Yugi involved.
The guy turned around and looked at Yugi. "You're here with HIM?" he said incredulously.
Yugi eyed the guy wearily: he was quite large and had a reputation for his hair-trigger temper- and his fighting ability.
"Just leave us alone," Anzu said firmly.
"What? You gonna make me?" the guy said, on the verge of exploding.
"She said leave," Yugi retorted, glaring at the guy.
The guy turned around and looked at Yugi fiercely. "Well... If you put it that way..." the guy said, turning away slightly. Yugi let out a small 'phew', but too soon: the guy shot back towards Yugi and let his fist fly. Yugi didn't have any time to react and took the blow straight to the face. The punch lifted him off his feet and sent the ice cream flying from his hands. When he hit the ground, blood spluttered out of his nose and he lay still; unconscious.
"YUGI!" Anzu screamed, jumping to her feet and rushing towards him. But before she could reach him the guy grabbed her arm, holding her back.
"Shut up!" he barked at her, throwing her back down and turning on her.
"Yugi... Yugi... Are you alright?" Yami said from within Yugi. "No... he's out cold... What should I do?" he thought to himself. "Don't worry Yugi; I'll take care of this."
And with that, the puzzle hanging around Yugi's neck shone gold, and then died out.
Yami had taken control.
He stood up and looked at the guy, wiping the blood from his nose. Yami was, in a nutshell, much more impressive physically then Yugi; and wearing nothing but his swim-trunks, it was quite obvious. His chest and abs were well defined, his arms chiseled, his face etched with his trade-mark glare. Anzu saw him and blushed deeply... She had gotten her wish... He was here...
"Excuse me," came Yami's voice, which was deeper and more impressive then his Aibou's.
The guy turned around and had quite a shock. "Y-... You're that little crap?" he stuttered.
"Never mess with Yugi," Yami said, his voice filled with righteous anger.
The guy looked at him stupidly, as if his eyes were playing a trick on him. Yami took advantage of this and let his fist fly, punching the guy in the side of the face. The guy stammered for a moment, and then snapped back to reality.
"Now you've asked for it!" the guy said, furious now. He ran at Yami and punched. Yami easily blocked the blow and countered with a strike of his own. His punch belted into the guy's stomach, causing him to double over, clutching his gut. Yami wasted no time and dropped his elbow hard into the base of the guys head, causing him to drop. This time, he was unconscious.
Yami wiped his nose again before looking over at Anzu, who was biting her lip.
"Are you alright?" he asked as he walked towards her, then kneeling down.
"I-... I'm ok..." Anzu said, blushing. She held her arm nervously as she looked into his dark eyes, lovingly. "Thank you..." she said slowly.
"It's no problem," Yami said gently.
As he sat there, he realized just how pretty she was. He hadn't ever had a quiet moment, just him and her. And since Yugi liked her, he never dwelled on the thought...
"I've... I've really wanted to talk to you..." Anzu said. Yami continued to look at her. He knew so much about her from Yugi...
Anzu studied Yami's expression carefully. "I... I have to tell you... I'll never forgive myself if I don't... I... I like you... I mean... I really like you..." She spoke slowly; carefully... She had felt the emotion for so long, but never had it been translated into words... Never had she professed it.
Yami looked back at her solemnly. What could he say...? It was true he liked her back, but... Yugi... "I..." Yami started, "I like you too... B-"
Suddenly Yami sensed something, causing him to fall silent. Yugi was slowly regaining consciousness. "Yugi... Yugi, are you alright?" Yami said inside his mind to the slowly recovering Yugi.
Anzu moved closer to Yami; she didn't notice him zoning out... She couldn't believe that he liked her back.
"Thanks again... Yami..." she said slowly. "I... I... I want to do something... Incase I never get the chance..." She slowly leaned towards Yami, who snapped back to reality as she placed her hand gently on his cheek and carefully pulled him towards her until her lips met his. She brought her other hand to his face as she gently traced the outside of his lips with her tongue.
Yami was stunned. He hadn't been expecting this... But, slowly, he opened up more to the kiss, forgetting that Yugi was 'waking up'.
Anzu parted Yami's lips with her tongue and slipped it into his mouth. Her tongue met his passionately, as the two seemed to dance. She then ran it all over his mouth, the whole while her soft hands gently caressing his face.
Finally the two parted, gently; savoring the moment. Anzu let out a nervous little chuckle. Yami looked at back at her, with a puzzled look on his face. All of the sudden, a voice inside his head grabbed his attention.
"I trusted you..." came Yugi's voice.
"Yugi... I..." Yami stuttered back, inside his head.
But before he could explain, Yugi blocked him out. "I... I'm sorry..." Yami continued, even though he knew Yugi couldn't hear him.
With that, Yami relinquished control of the body, and Yugi became dominant again. He appeared there in front of Anzu, giving her quite a nasty shock.
"Y-... Yugi... You're alright..." she said slowly.
Yugi slowly looked up at her. Sadness and pain filled his eyes, as he looked at Anzu.
"I... I have to go..." he said slowly.
A week came and past since the day at the beach. Yugi had gone home and had not as much as spoken to Anzu; or Yami for that matter. He was mad... Mad at Anzu for kissing Yami... He felt betrayed... Betrayed by the one person he trusted most; the person who was part of him- Yami. He felt rejected... Anzu had not liked him, and only went to the beach on the off chance she might see Yami.
At least that's what he thought.
If possible, Yami felt even worse. He never meant for it to happen. He never thought Anzu liked him... And most of all, he never meant to hurt Yugi, the one who he had always protected. Now, he could not even speak to Yugi. It pained him so... Because while he could not talk to Yugi, to explain it all, he could feel Yugi's pain; a pain so intense that it felt like a knife through his chest. Worst yet was knowing that he, Yugi's most trusted friend, had caused it.
Yugi lay motionlessly on his bed, staring aimlessly up at the ceiling. He let out a sight and turned his head slightly to the right. There, beside his dresser, lying on the floor was his bag, still packed from that day. As he looked at it the thoughts and emotions that he had tried to escape all week long came back to him.
"Why?"
That single burning question was etched into his mind. He had resisted the question for as long as he could; he knew the only way he could get an answer would be by talking to Yami or Anzu... Something he wasn't sure he was ready for.
The longer he sat there, thinking about it, the more it plagued him, permeated him, like a poison moving through his blood, until finally he made up his mind.
"Y-... Yami...?" Yugi said slowly.
There was silence for a moment, as the words rang out in his mind. Yugi took a deep breath, as he finally allowed Yami to speak to him again.
"Yes, Aibou?" Yami said softly.
"Why?"
All week long, Yami had ached to talk to Yugi; ached to tell him that he didn't mean for it to happen; ached to answer all of Yugi's questions, but this was the one question to which Yami was unsure of the answer... He would have given anything to know the answer, just so he could tell Yugi; just to relieve some of the pain.
But he couldn't.
Yami let out a sigh. "That's one question I don't know..." Yami looked sympathetically at Yugi, from within Yugi's mind. "The only person who does is Anzu..."
As he finished, Yami felt Yugi's pain rise up again.
"But..." Yami began. "I know this... She never meant to hurt you. I know she didn't... And, I think, you know she didn't too..."
Yugi dropped his head slowly and looked at the floor. "It still hurts..." Yugi replied quietly.
"I know it does: I can feel how much it does... And for that, I am truly sorry... I never meant to do this to you either..."
"I know... I... I forgive you..." Yugi said.
The silence that ensued was much different from that which had filled the room for the past week. That which once was, was filled with grief and anguish. This silence carried away some of the tormenting pain that Yugi had been feeling. Yami was happy that he had helped, although he still felt one last thing that was unresolved for Yugi.
After ten minutes, Yugi broke the silence.
"I have to talk to her..."
To be Continued...
