Bonjourno! Well, I have attempted two (I think) fics in the past, and got horribly bored with them each time. But now I am back with an idea I intend to see through to the end. What is it I am working on? A simple Yu-Gi-Oh does Sweeney Todd Story, with a lil Dragonball Z crossover!
Summary: Yugi decides to go and try out for a local theater's Domino Days (I will explain later) production of the award winning Stephen Sondheim Musical "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet of Street". Yugi decides to drag a reluctant Pharaoh to the auditions with him? What will happen? (Note, this fic will have Anzu bashing. I do not like Anzu, she serves no purpose to the plot, in my opinion.)
Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING (Gotta cut down on the Hogan's Heroes)
And now, let the story, begin….
--
It was a typical summer day in Domino City. The birds were singing, people were going about their business, and children were playing. Yugi Mutou sat on the couch reading through what appeared to be lyrics for a song. His other half was taking a shower, so Yugi felt he had sufficient privacy to rehearse. He began to sing the first few words of the song.
"Nothing's gonna harm you. Not while I'm around." The small boy pushed out his tiny lungs. "Nothing's gonna harm you. No sir, not while I'm around."
Young Yugi was so wrapped up in his song, he didn't hear his darker half exit the shower and make his way downstairs. Yami gazed upon his young partner, with a sort of adoring gaze. He let Yugi get halfway through the song before he interrupted his hikari.
"You really are an angel, aibou." The former ruler said with a smirk.
Hearing this, Yugi jumped up, scattering his papers everywhere, with a slight blush across his face.
"What makes you say that?" Yugi asked trying to control his blush.
"Well, first off, you sing like an angel. Secondly, you're as kind and loving as an angel. That must be it! You are an angel, sent to me from above." Yami proudly declared as he sat down next to his lighter half. "Mind if I give this a try?"
"Well… sure, but we really have to be going."
"Going? Where?"
"I already told you, I have an audition today for the Domino Thespian's Troupe production of Sweeney Todd, and you said you'd go an audition with me." Yugi said with a smirk on his face.
"What? When did I agree to this?"
"Just now!" Yugi giggled as he grabbed his Yami by the wrist and dragged him out the front door.

It took Yugi and Atemu a good half an hour to reach the theater where the auditions were being held. They entered through the side door only to encounter the entire gang. From the dour, Yugi spied Jou, Ryo, Malik and Honda conversing. Yami noticed Bakura standing in the corner, reading through what appeared to be a script for the show. Yami gave Yugi a little peck on the cheek as he approached the former Thief King.
"So, Bakura…" muttered the former Pharaoh.
"What do you want, your highness? Can't you see I'm busy?" groaned the white haired boy.
"What did your hikari have to do to get you to come here? Blackmail? Bribe? Threaten?"
"Nothing. I came by my own will."
"Really, I don't take you as a fan of the theater. "
"It is a story about revenge, betrayal, greed, rape and murder. Why would I pass this opportunity up?"
"True…"
groaned Yami. He looked over at his aibou, hoping he was having a
better time. Yami and Bakura returned to the group and joined in the
friendly conversation. Shortly afterwards, Anzu and Serenity showed
up and dived right into the conversation. The clock struck 12:00
noon, audition time. Right on time, the door to the front of the
auditorium slammed shut, causing everyone to jump. A muscular man
with black spiked up hair, dressed in a white button down shirt with
a black vest over it. He wore a pair of orange cargo pants. The
newcomer had a mug of what appeared to be coffee in his hand. This
man was the director, Son Gohan, world renowned stage actor. And boy
did he look livid.
A taller man followed him. He had long white
hair and donned a form fitting red suit. This was a man the group of
friends knew all to well. It was the show's producer, Maximillion
Pegasus. He was in one of his typical "fabulous" moods. He took
his seat in the front row while Gohan jumped up onto the stage.
"Alright, listen up. All you who have made it here on time, congratulations. You're one step closer to being in my elite cast," Announced Gohan. "You in the back. Yes, you, the one who showed up at 12:01. Out! I will not have people showing up late on the first day. Unacceptable. Better luck next time"
As Gohan barked this command, a young teenage boy no older then 16 sadly made his way out of the theater. The director continued.
"We will begin the auditions now. All we need is for you to hand over your information sheet, and sing a song of your choice. The song does not have to be from Sweeney Todd, though we prefer that it would be. If you need someone to play the music on the piano for you, I will be happy to oblige." The , short man jumped into the seat next to Pegasus. He examined his clipboard. "Alright, I would like everyone to please head into the lobby. I will pick the first person now, and after their audition, they will inform the next one. And so on and so on. First up… Mutou, Yugi! The rest of you! Out!"
Yami turned to his smaller, light half, gave him a reassuring smile as he blew him a kiss. The rest of the potential actors and actresses made their way into the lobby, leaving small Yugi standing at center stage. Pegasus was the next to speak.
"Long time no see, Yugi-boy."
Hearing this, Gohan looked up at the boy. Something suddenly clicked in his head.
"Yugi Mutou? King of Games correct?"
"Y-y-yes…. S-s-sir."
"Pleasure to meet you. Don't be so nervous. You'll do fine boy. Tell me, what will you be singing?"
"Um…. N-n-not While I'm A-around, from Sweeney Todd…"
"Ah, fabulous choice. Do you want the piano?"
"No thank you"
"Very well. Anytime you are ready"
At this, Yugi closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He began to sing the song he had rehearsed for a week straight. He poured his heart and soul into song, trying to hit every note as best he could. When he had finished the song, he opened his eyes to see the two men jotting notes down on their clipboards.
"Thank you Yugi, I'm sure you'll be hearing back from us. The cast list will be posted tomorrow morning. Have a nice day. Oh! And on your way out, be sure to send in a Mr…. Mutou, Atemu."
Yugi nodded his head at this as he walked outside the theater, his knees about to buckle. He notifies his other half of his audition. As Atemu walked towards the door, he got a nice surprise good luck kiss from his younger self. Atemu approached the stage, scratching the back of his head. He was out of his usually confident character. Gohan looked up at the man before him.
"So what do you plan on singing?" asked the young Sayian.
"Um… I have no clue…"
"… I suppose I can help you out here. What is your vocal range? You sound like a Baritone to me."
"I suppose?"
"Very well, you will be singing Epiphany for me. Give me a minute to find the sheet music..."
Atemu stared with a blank face. He felt as though he had a long day ahead of him…

Well, I hope you all enjoyed this.
