It's all in "the heart of the cards"
Rating: G so far
Summary: Yami has his own body, Valentines Day is coming up and the Pharaoh is completely unaware of what Anzu has in store for him.
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-gi-oh! If I did things would be very different. Less dueling and more romance, (especially between Yami & Anzu!) I only own Hikari Shien (Yami's Vultari "Twin" sister)
Pairings: Yami/Anzu (main) Jou/Mai, Honda/Shizuka, & Yugi/Rebecca (minor)
Chapter 1:
Traditions, and new things for a spirit to try.
It had been three months since the Duel, and still little Yugi Motou missed Yami's presence within the puzzle. Yugi looked over at the sleeping pharaoh. "Atemu, I'm really glad that we both lost the duel." He whispered. Yami (Atemu) didn't respond, but Yugi could tell he was sleeping deep. Anzu-chan, the pharaoh dreamt I still remember the way our feelings were revealed.
Yami kissed the tears off of Anzu's face; he knew his voice was one of the things about him she loved. He gathered her into his arms; she laid against his chest, letting his heart sooth her tears. She let herself be enfolded by his embrace, "I'm not going to the after life. Anzu, Yugi and I both lost the duel, please stop crying." He said, Without looking at him Anzu kept crying. "Yami's gone, he lost the duel. I'll never get the chance to tell him." Anzu's vision was coming back slowly, she could see Yami's eye of horus glowing on his forehead. Oh my God, Yami? You're alive? But I thought that.. "Anzu, the duel was a draw, Aibou and I both lost. Ishizu found my body and, never get the chance to tell me what?" Yami asked, kissing Anzu on the forehead. That I love you: more than just as friends. That ever since we went on that date Yugi set us up on, I've fallen in love with you. Rebecca made me admit my hidden feelings, but I never got the chance to tell you how I feel. His lips locked with hers, Anzu, the feelings are mutual. A life without you, even in the afterlife, would be emptyYami sent, soon they were both lost as a tsunami of passion swept over and consumed them. Yami clasped her against him, not wanting to let her go. They kissed until the need for oxygen forced them apart.
Yugi had returned from the kitchen a thick glass of water was in his hand. Chuckling softly to himself, "Grandpa said he wanted you up Atemu, he was a little afraid to do this so it's up to me." Softly he padded up to the bed where his darker half was blissfully lost in the world of dreams.
Anzu held him close, "Don't let me go." She said her voice wavering. He kissed her again, Serenity wrapped Yami's cape around the pair and …
Yami woke with a start feeling the Ice-cold water drip from his face. "Aibou! What In Ra's name possessed you to do this?" He shouted, his Light smirked. "Grandpa wanted me to wake you up." Yami glared at him. "Besides, I wanted to see your reaction, Yami, it wasn't disappointing." The smaller tri-color haired teen laughed. "Dreaming about Anzu again?" he asked. Just because we don't share the same body anymore doesn't mean I can't watch your dreams. Our spirits are still bonded you know. He sent. Yami blushed. His eyes became menacing, changing from violet to crimson, Aibou, if you ever do this again I will MIND CRUSH you! Yugi's face paled, nervously he backed off. He had seen Yami like this once before, when Yami had played the seal of Oricalkos in a duel against Raphael. Shiko Yami Yugi wasn't someone that Yugi liked to deal with; no Yugi was locked away because of Shiko Yami. Even now, three years later, that ordeal still gave him nightmares.
"Okay, Okay, Yami, grandpa wanted to talk to you in the game shop. He was very cryptic about it. Only saying that it was urgent." Yugi said.
Yami shook his head, Grandpa, what is so urgent? He thought, following Yugi down stairs to the shop.
Yugi recognized the package his grandpa was holding, it was wrapped in brown paper, and had no return address.
"Yami, this package came for you this morning. There's no return address, so I don't know if it's dangerous or not." Grandpa said. Yugi gave Yami a questioning look. Do you think we should open it? It looks familiar somehow. The lighter asked his darker half. Aibou, it does look familiar. Grandpa was wrong, it isn't addressed to me, it's addressed to both of us.
"What are you talking about Yami?" Yugi asked. "Aibou, look at the address label." Yami replied. "I saw that, it said Yami Motou…"Yugi replies "No, Aibou, read the characters again" Yami insisted "It has to be from some one who knows about you Yami. But it does say Yami Yugi."
"Yami, please open it. If it's dangerous, we'll face it together." Grandpa said. Yami & Yugi glanced at each other, Yes, if we trust in the heart of the cards…
The Pharaoh cautiously opened the package, as if somehow by opening it, he would cause a shadow game to begin.
Inside were two more boxes, equal in size and shape. Yami hands one to Yugi, "Is it safe?" Yugi asked. Yami shrugs, "We'll find out together Aibou." He whispered.
"The Millennium Puzzle! Cool" Yugi shrieked.
"What is this? Aibou, the Millennium Puzzle is made out of gold, not this brown substance." He stated, confusion evident in his voice. Yugi chuckled inwardly. Yami shoots him a quizzical look. "Aibou, what is so funny?" he asked. "I guess they didn't have chocolate in ancient Egypt." Yugi stated. "Chocolate?" Yami asked puzzled. "Aibou, what is chocolate?" Yugi looks at Yami, "Yami, are you serious?" Yugi asks. You've never heard of chocolate? "It's one of the best sweets any one has ever tasted." "I'm not eating the Puzzle, Aibou." Yami stated flatly. Yugi shook his head. The person who sent these millennium puzzles should have known that Yami wouldn't harm anything that looks like the thing he was sealed in for 3,000 years.
Yami takes out the last piece of the puzzle, sealed inside this puzzle was a deck of duel monsters cards. We have something in common Yami thought to this new deck, both of us were sealed inside the Millennium Puzzle.
Yugi smiles. "Well, you are the king of games."
"Aibou, I know. But who could have sent them?" Yami replies, sealing the puzzle back up.
