A Clash of Kingdoms
Yuki was humming as he cooked dinner. He had the news channel on while he waited for Shuichi to get home. The past two weeks were hell for the both of them, tempers rose and fights ensued often. Yuki had finished meeting his deadline for his latest book just earlier in the week and today was Shuichi's last day for finishing the new album. The two of them were looking forward to a mini vacation away from work, which meant that they would have to leave without anyone knowing about it before hand. The plan was to go out of town and rent a room for some days. Shuichi was quite adamant on going to Domino, and he kept telling him it was a surprise. Yuki had a small smile as he thought about his lover, then a sadistic grin crossed his face as he imagined how tired he was going to be.
In Domino city, the Turtle Game shop was struck by some violent thieves. One of the residents were killed and another is in critical condition. The thieves were gone before the police arrived. The King of Games was currently not at home when this happened, which leads police to believe that they might have been after him in the first place. Police are... The report on the news was cut off as Yuki turned off the tv after hearing his lover come home.
"I'm home!" Shuichi said with as much enthusiasm he could muster, which today was not so much, he looked about ready to fall on the ground.
"Welcome back brat." Yuki smirked at his lover. "Sit down so we could eat." Shuichi walked drunkenly to the table that the food was set in. "Why don't we go to bed after we finished eating?"
Shuichi nodded, and tried not to fall asleep on his delicious food that his lover had made. "I love you soooo much Yuki." Shuichi smiled lovingly at Yuki.
"Yeah, yeah brat, me too. Now eat." Yuki returned the smile and they both ate peacefully, until the Shuichi's phone rang.
Shuichi didn't recognize the number, but did recognize the area code. "Hello?" He answered in a confused tone. Yuki watched as his lover's skin paled at whatever news he was hearing. Shuichi's emotions were very clear to Yuki and something drastic must have happened for him to loose his childish personality that he usually has even when tired. "Is he alright?" Shuichi asked hesitantly. "Where is he right now?" He paused as he waited for the caller to answer. "I'll be there as soon as I can. I'm on my way now, can you please make sure that he knows I'm coming. Thank you officer." With that he shut off the phone. Shuichi turned to look at Yuki, his eyes were full of unshed tears. "Yuki, I have to go to Domino now instead of tomorrow. My aunt just passed away and my grandpa is in critical condition." Shuichi had a few tears running down his face. "My little cousin has no other relatives, and is being held in the hospital until I get there." Shuichi couldn't take the shock anymore as he collapsed.
Yuki quickly scooped him up and hugged him gently. He whispered encouraging words to his lover as he cried. A few minutes passed before Shuichi calmed down enough to stop crying. "I'll get the suitcases and call the hotel to get our rooms early. Don't you need to call someone? I'll get the car ready for us to leave after I pack the suitcases."
Shuichi looked at Yuki with confusion. "You still want to go with me?"
Yuki looked at his lover and sighed. "Yes you dumb brat, now finish this quickly because your cousin is waiting for you."
Shuichi squealed happily and launched himself at Yuki. After a brief hug, he sent a message to Hiro telling him what happened and that he was going to be gone with Yuki. Shuichi was not going to tell anyone else because then he would be hounded by the rest of his friends and he knew that Hiro wouldn't tell anyone unless there was an emergency, in the meantime he would just act like he didn't know Shuichi's whereabouts. After everything was packed, the two quickly drove to Domino and Shuichi was glad about Yuki's extreme driving. Both of them were thinking about what was going to happen in the future.
Domino Hospital
Yugi had his face in his hands as he tried to stop the tears from flowing. Ryo was to his left, next to him was Malik, and Seto was on his right with Mokuba besides him. The five of them were having a sleepover at Kaiba's house when Yugi got the news. A few weeks after the ceremonial duel, Yugi had a fallout with his other three friends, and the topic was not something any of the five wanted to talk about. There was a secret that was kept from Tea, Joey, and Tristan, which was that the two spirits didn't exactly leave and somehow ended up bringing Seto's Egyptian counterpart Seth back. Seto wasn't happy when he found out. The four of them did not need the millennium items to do magic, but they still resided within their host's body. They could take both spirit and tangible forms outside their hosts body, though it was not for a extremely long periods of time. The only ones beside the five that knew were Yugi's grandfather and mother, one of which is now dead and the other was close to dying. The lights were trying to calm their spirits who wanted to find the criminals and deal with them permanently, Atem was all for it was even had more creative ideas of punishment than Bakura and Seth had which earned Bakura's respect. Bakura was in "kill" mode because he had grown fond of Yugi's mom, she had reminded him of his own mother.
The five of them were informed that a cousin of Yugi was going to come. Yugi had told them that it was going to take a while because his cousin lives in Tokyo though he was had been planning to come to Domino in a few weeks. There seemed to be something going on because there was a lot of nurses and doctors going to and from the intensive care unit. A young man wearing a black cap covering all of his hair was dragged into the ICU by one of the nurses. Another young man with golden hair and eyes was trailing along but stayed in the waiting room of the ICU. Another nurse went to Yugi and calmly led him to the ICU to see his grandfather.
Minutes seemed like hours and the hour that Yugi and Shuichi was gone seemed very long to their loved ones that were waiting. Yuki really wanted to go out and smoke, but he wanted to be there for his lover for when he got out. Seto was pacing in the waiting room, the shadow wielders decided to wait for Yugi to come out before they went on a rampage. They all had a suspicion of what they were called in for, the elder Motou must have taken a turn for the worse.
At last the two walked out, Shuichi had sunglasses on so that no one would recognize him but they did little to hid his tears that were trailing on his face. Yugi was clinging to his cousin, which got his friends confused thinking that the person was a total stranger. They moved to remove Yugi from Shuichi, but stopped when Shuichi embraced the younger in a more protective hug. While Yugi's friends were shocked by the gesture, Yuki was in shock about Yugi's hair. When his lover had warned him about unusual hair color and eyes running in the family, he was still not expecting to see Yugi's hair to be the way it was.
A few minutes passed in silence and Yugi removed himself from Shuichi. He rubbed his eyes to get rid of stray tears and smiled to his friends. "Guys this is my cousin Shuichi."
"Hey!" Shuichi greeted a bit more cheerful, though not with his usual spark. Shuichi then pointed at Yuki, "that's my boyfriend Eiri, hope you don't mind." Yuki nodded his head in greeting. Yugi wasn't shocked that Shuichi brought his lover, he was sure that was the reason for the trip that they had planned. He was glad that his cousin had someone other than Hiro to support him. "How about we get continue this at another place. I need to take care of the paper work here and I don't think it would be good for Yugi to stay in this place right now."
"We'll go to Burger World, it's open all day now." Yugi suggested. "We'll meet you there."
