Inu: "I'm taking over the Author Notes! Muhahahaha…." Clears throat. "Anyway, I don't understand why you like this story…. Maybe if you continue reading it you will hate it also."
Yugi: "Anywhy here is the next installment."
Inu: "Sorry If I missed some corrections."
~Normal POV~
Chapter 2
SLAM!
Yugi ran down stairs to the front door. "Heba, you ok? What happened? Did you slam the door again in somebody's face?" Yugi asked.
Heba paces around the room. "That's the 3rd kid from our school that came to ask you or me on a date."
Yugi rubs the back of his head. "Please calm down. We have to go to the Kaiba mansion now."
He grabbed Heba and dragged him towards the mansion.
Heba smirked, he could not resist teasing Yugi. "What's wrong Yugi? Are you that eager to see Yami?"
Yugi blushed. "What about you Heba? Don't you want to see Atemu?"
It was Heba's turn to blush. "I-I don't know what you're talking about?"
Yugi knocked on the door of the Kaiba mansion and Yami answered it.
"What's with you two? Your faces are bright red." He pointed out causing the two to blush even more.
"N-nothing Yami. C-can we come in?" Yugi stuttered out and Yami stepped out of the way, leading them to the living room where everyone else was already.
"About time you got here." Bakura said only to get hit on the back of his head by Ryou.
"Kura', be nice!" He turned to Yugi and Heba who sat on the couch. "How are you two?"
"Annoyed, creeped out and pissed off…" Heba answered and Yugi put his head in his hands.
"May I ask why?" Atemu asked as he and Yami joined them on the couch.
"Sure. Three people came to the game shop to ask me or Yugi out. It's already so annoying and creepy." Heba said.
"Game shop? You live in that new game shop called Kame Games?" Seto asked.
"Yah! We do. Grandpa runs it." Yugi said lifting his head.
"I heard about that place. I'm planning to check it out after school on Monday since its open during weekdays only." Joey said.
"Well… why don't you all come over after school on Monday and we will show you around." Heba said.
"Ok. But for now, can we finish first this damned project? " Marik asked.
"Agreed." the group responded.
~2 hours later~
"I'M NOT A DAMN DOG, MONEYBAGS!" Joey yelled.
"Well stop acting like one then!" Seto countered back.
"I just said I was hungry" Joey retorted.
"You're always hungry like a dog!" Seto responded.
Heba could not take it anymore. It was so obvious that they liked each other.
"ENOUGH! YOUR ARGUMENTS WERE ALREADY GETTING INTO OUR NERVES. OBVIOUSLY YOU LIKE EACH OTHER SO WHY DON'T TWO YOU GO ON A DATE ALREADY!" he screamed above the noise.
Joey and Seto turned red and the others were stunned speechless from Heba's outburst.
Seto turned to Joey. "Can I talk to you in private?"
Joey's blushed deepened. "S-sure." He squeaked.
The two left and Marik and Bakura laughed
"I like them. Can we keep them?" Marik said
Heba blushed. "I'm sorry. But their arguments and bickering were already getting annoying."
Atemu smirked. "Welcome to our world. We put it up 1 year. It's the same with Marik and Malik and Bakura and Ryou until they asked each other out."
Yugi look at Yami. "Are you two dating anyone?"
Yami choked on his drink. "You have to be kidding me! Have you met the kids at school? Name at least one who is worth it!"
Atemu laughed while Yugi and Heba pondered this.
Yugi shrugged. "Ok. You win. Unless you give into Tea and Anzu." Yugi said smirking
Atemu laughed harder and Yami started gagging
"Little one, me and my brother are gay. I would rather date Marik before I even consider dating her." Yami said smirking.
"Hey! What that supposed to mean?" Marik said but Malik kiss him to shut him up.
Heba sighed. "It looks like me, Yugi, Atemu and Yami are the only single ones here."
Yugi sighed. "That's so sad."
The others laughed
"I don't think the mutt and the rich boy are coming back. Wanna' go to the mall since our works is already half done?" Bakura asked
"I have never been to the mall here, yet it sounds fun." Yugi said and the other gasped
Malik hugged him. "You poor child."
"Domino has the world's largest mall." Yami said.
Heba started to leave. "Well? What are we waiting for? Let's go."
~At the mall~
Bakura and Ryou separate from the group as well as Marik and Malik, leaving Yami, Yugi, Heba and Atemu together.
"Alright, let me get this straight…. we all went to the mall, just to split up." Heba said as they walked into a leather store.
Atemu chuckled. "Since we all have different tastes, we split up to go where we want and then we meet up for lunch."'
Yugi grinned. "It's nice to finally have someone who likes leather besides Heba."
While looking through clothes, Yami and Yugi lost Heba and Atemu.
"Wonder where Heba went off to?" Yugi questioned
"Hey Yugi?"
Yugi turned around. "Yes Yami?"
"If you don't mind me asking, why did you moved to Domino?" He asked heading to the food court to meet the others after paying for their clothes.
Yugi and Heba don't like talking about their past but he also does not want to lie to Yami, so he settled for the middle.
"Um… it's a long story. We just had to get away from some people." Yugi said looking away.
Yami could tell that Yugi doesn't' want to talk about it so he let it go for now.
"So how do you like Domino so far?" Yami questioned as they sat at the table where they normally meet the others. They were first ones to arrive at the meeting place.
"Besides the annoying twin girls, it's great. I'm glad I met you guys or else this may not have been a good school year." Yugi said truthfully.
Yami fought down a blush and continued his questioning. "Where did you live first before moving to Domino?"
"Hmm… me and Heba lived in a small town called Webster in New York. We attended Webster Schroeder High and hated it." Yugi said remember that terrible school.
Yami wondered if it was really that bad. "Was it tha-"
"Yugi. There you are." Yugi turned to see Heba and Atemu walking towards them.
"Hey Heba. We lost you in the store so we assumed that you two went somewhere else. So we decided that we would just meet you here at the food court; it seemed easier for you to find us here." Yugi stated as Atemu and Heba sat down.
"Sorry Yami. What were you asking?" Yugi looked back at him.
"I was wondering if your former school was really that bad." he said.
"You have no idea!" Heba groaned.
Atemu looked at him. "Was there a problem at your former school?"
"Let's just say, I was the jocks favorite toy." Yugi said.
Yami looked at him. "You were bullied, weren't you?"
"Worse than that. They tortured him pretty much." Heba said
Yugi dropped his head on the table. "It's over now. It does not matter anymore. Can we move on?"
And as if on cue, his saviors arrived
"Hey!" Malik, Ryou, Bakura and Marik said
"Hey guys. Now that we're all here, let's grab lunch." Atemu said.
Yami was lost in thought while he stares at Yugi.
"Yami." Atemu said. Yami didn't hear Atemu.
"Yami!" Atemu tried louder.
Yami still lost in thought. 'Why would people hurt Yugi? And why is Yugi so secretive about his past? What happened to them?'
Atemu walked up and leaned into Yami's ear and screamed.
"YAMI!" Yami jumped and fell off from his chair.
"WHAT THE- Atemu!" he yelled.
"I called out your name 3 times. What were you thinking? The others had already left to get lunch." he pointed out.
Yami sighed and got up. "Sorry Atemu. I was lost in thought."
"I could tell… were you thinking about Yugi?" He asked and sat down across from Yami.
"Yah. He's so secretive about his past and I'm wondering why he was bullied at school. He seems like the nice kind of person who would have lots of friends." Yami said blushing.
Atemu sighed. "I know what you mean. When I asked Heba about his past, he also doesn't want to talk about it. "
Yami sighed. "I don't know why but I want know more about him."
Atemu sighed. "I know what you mean."
And then it struck them like lighting.
"Oh. My. Ra!" they said
"We fell for them!" Atemu said.
"And we fell hard!" Yami said.
And at that moment the rest returned.
"Yami, Atemu, we bought you McDonalds. I hope you don't mind." Yugi said as he and Heba gave them the food.
"Thank you." they both said blushing.
Marik and Bakura were giving them strange looks.
'I can't believe we fell for them.' Yami and Atemu thought
Then a thought struck Atemu. "Guys we've no time left to do the projects. It's already late."
"Crap!" was the response.
Yami looked at Atemu. "Since it's a school project, I don't think Seto would mind them sleeping over to finish it."
Atemu thought. "Yah, I guess. And Mokuba is at Serenity's house anyway."
"Who's Mokuba and Serenity?" Yugi and Heba both asked.
"Mokuba is Seto's younger brother and he is dating Joey's younger sister, Serenity." Ryou answered.
"They're freshmen at our school but since they're in a different grade, we seldom see them." Malik said.
"Ok guys. Let's meet at the mansion for a sleep over so we can finish the projects."
Then they left the mall and went home.
Yugi and Heba were in their room.
Yugi told Heba about his conversation with Yami and Heba said he had a similar one with Atemu.
"What we're going to do? I doubt that they're just going to leave it like that." Yugi said.
"I don't know. I just already want to tell them." Heba said.
"But can we trust them Heba? Remember the last time we trusted someone?" Yugi pointed out.
"Yugi, I don't think they're going to be like Dartz." Heba reassured.
"You fell for Atemu, didn't you?" Yugi stated.
Heba blushed. "That obvious?"
"To me, yes, because I'm your brother. To others, I don't know." Yugi said.
"You fell for Yami too, didn't you, Yugi?" Heba asked.
"Yes. I guess I did." Yugi said.
They both sighed.
"This is not good." they both said.
"Maybe we should trust them, Heba." Yugi said.
"We could. I mean Dartz did what he did for money and I don't think they need any more money. They already got enough of that." Heba said.
"Well… since we're all going to the mansion, I think we can tell them there. Besides maybe Seto and his mass army of guards can arrest Dartz before he finds us." Yugi hoped.
~At the Mansion~
Yami and Atemu were getting ready for the sleep over.
"Any clue how we're going to confront them, Atemu?" Yami asked.
"Yup!" he smirked. "We're going to play a game."
"A game?" Yami said.
Atemu nodded. "How in the name of Ra does a game can help us?"
"Not just any game, Yami. Truth or Dare." Atemu said.
'That just might work.' Yami thought.
~At the game shop~
"Grandpa, Mizuki, Ai, can we go to Seto's mansion for a sleep over? I know it's a school night but our project is due for tomorrow and we need to finish it." Heba asked.
Grandpa and Mizuki talked for a minute.
"Alright but go to school tomorrow. We will know if you don't." Grandpa said.
Heba and Yugi nodded and left the house with their bags.
~At Seto's mansion~
Once everyone was at the Kaiba's mansion, they started working on their projects.
"Our project is genetic engineering. Were both for and against it." Heba said.
"Ours is nuclear power. Were for it. There so much damage you can do with it." Marik snickered.
"We didn't have any choice." Ryou said eyeing Bakura and Marik
"Well… we're against cloning and we don't need more Joeys." Seto said.
Joey pouted and Seto kissed him while the rest gagged.
"It's my mansion; I can do whatever I want." Seto said and Joey blushed.
Everyone started laughing and talk amongst themselves about the projects.
Around six, the maids brought the dinner out. They still kept talking as they ate their dinner. After that, they all moved in the game room. Heba and Yugi have been nervous since after the dinner. They kept thinking if they going to tell them their past or not.
"So what are we going to do now?" Malik asked.
"I have an idea." Atemu said.
Everyone turned to him.
"And that would be?" Bakura asked.
"Truth or Dare."
Yugi and Heba gulped. If there was any way they did not want to tell their secrets, this is one of it. And with Bakura and Marik giving dares, they did not want to take any chances in what they would make them do.
Bakura and Marik smirked. "Interesting." they both said slowly. A shiver of fear ran down at everyone's spine.
"Alright. If we play this, I'm setting the rules because I don't trust Marik and Bakura not to destroy my mansion." Seto said.
Marik and Bakura fake pouted
"You ruin all the fun, Seto!" Marik said.
"Yah and you'll ruin my mansion!" He said.
Seto Kaiba Truth or Dare Rules.
- No making people kiss
- Nothing to do with my mansion
- Don't make Joey act like a dog (Seto stares at Marik)
- No Killing, maiming or dismembering (Seto also stares at Bakura)
- Oh and did I mention, NOTHING TO DO WITH MY MANSION!
Everyone sat in a circle and since Atemu suggested the game, he went first but kept their plan in secret and he started with Bakura instead of his target.
"Bakura truth or dare."
Bakura smirks. "Must you ask?"
Atemu shrugs. "Never hurts to say."
"Dare!"
Atemu thought for a moment and then smirked. "I dare you not to talk for 10 minutes. Don't worry when it's your turn, you just have to write it down."
One thing that is hard for Bakura is not talking.
Everyone laughed and Seto smirked. "Finally! Found a way to shut him up."
Bakura was pissed off. He tried to yell but stopped himself and sat down.
"Ok. It will go clock wise that means it's your turn, Yami." Seto said.
Yami unlike Atemu wants to get straight to the point.
"Yugi, Truth or Dare."
Yugi bit his lip. "T-Truth."
Yami smiled. 'Yes.' he thought.
"Why did you move to Domino? The whole truth this time."
Heba's eyes narrowed. 'I knew this is what they were planning. I knew they would not leave the questions unanswered.'
Yugi bit his lip again and sighed. 'May as well tell them the whole truth.'
He looked at Heba who just shrugged his shoulders as he wants to say 'It's up to you.'
"There are two main reasons why we moved here." Yugi said. "But before we tell you that, there's something we have to tell you first or the two main reasons won't make any sense." Heba said.
"Alright… what is it?" Yami said.
"You know that some men can have kids?" Yugi said.
"Yes. Me, Malik and Joey can." Ryou said.
"You can!" Everyone except the three mentioned was shocked.
"Yah. We just were going to tell you, just never found the right time. Not every day you boyfriend says, 'Oh hey, by the way I can have kids'." Malik said.
"Ok. That was shocking." Yugi said.
"Anyway…" Heba said gaining their attention back. "You know how some end up at the black market because a man that can have kids is rare." Heba said.
Everyone nodded even though their instincts told them they would not like what happens next in Yugi's story.
"Me and Heba were put on the black market by a man we trusted." Yugi stopped and took a deep breath. "He kidnapped us and c-caged us l-like animals!" Tears fell down to his face. He pulled his knees to his chest and put his head on them.
Heba sighed and continued. "Our grandfather's brother figured when he found out that we could have kids that Dr. Dartz may pull something like this." He stopped to gather his composure and fought back the tears. "He went to the black market to search for us and when he found us he bought our freedom." Heba couldn't help it anymore. Tears rolled down his face and he hugged his brother.
"Dartz… Dartz… Dr. Dartz… I remember reading something like that in the paper. He was never convicted right?" Seto said and both boys nodded.
"It also said that it happened 4 years ago…" Seto said.
Then he remembers that there were two reasons why they moved in Domino. 'I'm not going to like the second reason, am I?' Seto thought. Although he won't admit it, he's grown fond of the boys. They seem like little brothers to him.
"I don't think I want to know but, what's the reason you moved?" Seto asked.
Heba, being the only one able to calm down, enough to answer him. "One, we left to escape, Dartz because he is still out there and two our names were in one of the papers so everyone knew it was us." Heba shivered at what happened next. "Me and Yugi were tortured at school because they thought that we were freaks or monsters due to the reason that we can have kids".
Yugi choked out the response. "Th-they s-said we deserved the beatings and tortures they put us through." Heba held Yugi and rubbed his back to calm him down.
"Heba, Yugi, we're sorry. We didn't know it would be that bad." Yami said.
Heba sighed. "It's ok. We've already plan to tell you all anyway."
Atemu and Yami were shocked.
"Really why?" Atemu asked.
"Because we trust you guys." Heba and Yugi responded.
After a few more rounds, the gang went to bed.
Seto provided everyone their own rooms.
~Heba and Yugi~
The two decided to stay together after what just happened.
"Think we made the right choice, brother?" Yugi asked as he lay down on the bed.
"Yes Yugi. I think we did." Heba said and they both fell asleep.
