Ch. 2
Welcome back! I hope you guys liked the first chapter. Yuma and Atral are introduced. They will have a sibling bond. No Pairings in this story. Sorry, guys. Please enjoy!
I do not own Yugioh. If I did….well, everything would be gayer.
It has been a couple months since college started. Yugi, Judai, and Yusei soon got used to living together. They took turns making dinner. Yugi had Mondays, and Thursday. Judai had Tuesday and Friday. Yusei was left with Wednesday and Saturday. Sunday was a free for all. Usually whoever lost the duel had to cook. Or if one of them was in a good mood, he would offer to cook. Yugi did let Yami cook at one point, but that hadn't gone well. He was lucky that the house was still intact.
Yugi learned that Yusei used Syncro monsters and was very level headed. He didn't talk much, but his few words were very wise and made up for his muteness. The black-haired boy could be found at ungodly hours working away at his computer or fixing up his Duel Runner. Both Yugi and Yami were stunned when they heard that Yusei dueled while driving a motorcycle type vehicle. Yami wanted to try, but he didn't know how to drive.
Judai was a carefree, but amazing duelist. He woke up late to all his classes for the first month. He hung out with another boy called Sho, a blue haired boy with circle glasses. They ran around the campus trying to find people to duel. Judai was almost as persistent as Kaiba when asking Yugi to duel. Every Tuesday, Judai would challenge Yugi to a duel. The brunette always lost, but he claimed that one day he would beat The King of Games. Yusei wouldn't duel Yugi as much, but kept trying to beat him every two weeks. Yusei would get this deep look on his face when he lost, most likely trying to see his mistakes.
"Oi! Yugi!"
The tri-colored boy glanced back from his place from the stove. Judai was giddy, bouncing on the balls of his feet. A huge grin rest on his face, matching his sparkling eyes. Yugi returned the smile. Judai's happiness was contagious.
"Did ya hear? We are getting new neighbors!" Judai exclaimed, spreading his arms out wide.
/Neighbors? / Yami echoed. He materialized next to Yugi, not that Judai could see him. Yami cocked his head, with his arms folded. His feet didn't touch the ground as he floated there.
/ hm….I wonder why they would transfer in the middle of the year?/ Yugi thought back, tapping his chin with a finger. He voiced these thoughts to Judai. He shook his head.
"I don't know. But who cares? It's a new duelist! There is a rumor going around that it will be two guys!" The brunette was ready to burst with his excitement. If Yugi was to believe what Judai said last week, he dueled about 50% of the school. Yugi would doubt that if he hadn't personally seen Judai go up to strangers and duel them one after another. Judai was always glad to have someone else to duel.
Soft steps alerted them that Yusei had returned from his Duel Runner class. Judai rushed off to inform the syncro dueler of the news leaving Yugi to his thoughts.
/ I wonder what type of duelist they will be…/
/ I hope they put up a challenge/
Yugi bit back a chuckle at Yami's words. Yami was getting bored at the Academy. He stated that even Anzu could duel better than the students who attended here. Yugi thought he was being dramatic, but agreed that he missed their duels with Kaiba. The only reason Yami wasn't dying of complete boredom was due to Kaiba's visit the last month plus Judai and Yusei's duels. Kaiba made it his duty to challenge Yami at least once a month.
Yugi let out a tired sigh. He hadn't slept in two days straight. He had stayed up late writing last minute essays on the effects of The Pot of Greed. Why he had to write an essay on the most used trap card, he had no idea. Yami had taken over during their last class, which was history. They were reviewing Ancient Egypt, a breeze for the dead pharaoh. He even corrected the teacher a couple times.
/ Look out! / Yami's voice brought Yugi out of his thoughts. He didn't have time to stop before running into the person in front of him. His sleep deprived body buckled and he fell, even though he didn't bump into the other person too hard. The other person stumbled backwards, but didn't fall.
"Ah!"
"Wha-?"
The stranger's strange dark hair jutted out reminding Yugi of shrimp. His crimson vest matched his large eyes. A golden pendant glittered in the fading streaks of sunlight. Yugi got a strange feeling looking at the boy. As if there were two pairs of eyes staring at him. The boy shook his head and extended a hand towards Yugi.
"Oops. Sorry about th-"He broke off after pulling Yugi up from the ground. He stared at Yugi for a while. He seemed to be thinking about something. Yugi brushed himself off.
/Hey, Yami?/
/Yes?/
/…You feel that too? Like there is someone else here?/
/….don't you see him, Aibou? That weird boy has a blue ghost with him/ Yami replied, pointing with an invisible hand towards an empty spot next to the stranger. Yugi blinked and stared hard at where his other was pointing. He didn't see anything.
/…no…?/
"Hey! Do I know you?" The stranger asked, tilting his head. His ruby red eyes scanned over Yugi again. His eyebrows scrunched up in thought.
The tri-colored tapped his chin in thought. He wasn't going to tell the boy that he was the King of Games. He didn't like all the attention that came with the title. It caused so much trouble. Shadow games, killing, stealing, soul stealing, and more. But then again most of that was due to his puzzle.
"I don't think so." Yugi replied, not entirely lying. He didn't know the boy. So, it wasn't technically lying.
The boy scratched his head. He paused as he turned to look at the spot that Yami was pointing at earlier. "What was that, Astral?"
/ He is talking with the blue ghost/ Yami informed him.
/ Can you describe the ghost to me?/ Yugi was curious. Maybe this boy was like him and Ryou. Maybe it was another Egyptian spirit? But why would they be blue?
/Well, the ghost seems to be a boy with blue skin. He has mismatched eyes. One gold and the other is pure white. He almost seems like an…./ Yami paused looking for the right word. /…alien../
Yugi bit him lip in thought. An alien ghost? He hadn't seen that before.
"…There's no way Yugi Motou would come to school here!" The boy shouted, startling both the pharaoh and his host. The boy turned away from the air back to staring at Yugi. He seemed to be trying to proving a point.
"…" Yugi could almost see the gears turning in the boy's head. He sometimes wished he and Yami didn't have this recognizable hair. Sadly, nothing he did tamed their hair. Or changed it. Really, they just beat Pegasus and Kaiba! There were plenty other amazing duelists that they haven't beat yet!
/ Pegasus, the creator of Duel Monsters, and Kaiba, the champion of Duel Monsters before us./ Yami drawled, sending waves of amusement. Yugi blushed.
"You! Are you Yugi Mutou?!" The boy shouted, pointing a finger right in Yugi's face.
Yugi rubbed the back of his neck nervously as he nodded. He watched as the boy's face went from disbelief to realization to shock.
"WHAT?!"
The boy's shouted pierced the still evening, causing Yugi to wince. He had jumped back a couple feet, staring at Yugi with a shocked, but awed look. He remined Yugi of a startled cat, with its hair sticking out.
"The Yugi Mutou? The King of Games Yugi Mutou?!" The boy rambled, waving his hands around. Once again, he paused to 'listen' to something. Maybe the blue ghost? What did the boy call the ghost? Asal? Ara?
"You're right, Astral! This is our perfect chance to beat Yugi Mutou!" Turning his attention back to Yugi, his ruby eyes shone with determination. His body was trembling slightly, probably from excitement. "Yugi Mutou, I challenge you to a duel!" He swung his finger at Yugi, as he declared his challenge. A sparkling grin plastered to his face.
Yugi grinned. "I accept!" His tiredness suddenly was pushed back, replaced by adrenaline and giddiness. Then a thought struck him. "…who are you?"
The boy fell comically on his face. As he picked himself up, he chuckled nervously.
"Ahaha…. sorry about that." The boy apologized straightening himself. Then he jutted his thumb at his chest. "I'm Yuma Tsukumo. Call me Yuma, Yugi-sama!"
Yugi blinked at the title. Yugi-sama? He shook his head.
"No, need for the title," He told Yuma. "I prefer Yugi, Yuma-kun." He hated when people treated him like a god. He was just the average person that loved dueling.
/ average person with 3 different colored hair. And a sharing a body with a 5000-year-old pharaoh/ Yami stated, once again proving Yugi wrong.
/…okay, not that average…. but I love dueling just as much as any other person! / Yugi pouted, puffing his cheeks. He really hated when Yami turned against him like this. Really! Yami snickered in their mind. Yugi stuck his tongue out at the pharaoh.
"Alright, then! Yugi-senpai! Duel me!" Yuma cried out again.
Yami and Yugi nodded in unision. They radiated excitement and happiness. Yugi whipped out his duel disk from his bag. (Yami made him carry it around. He was paranoid that they would be challenged to shadow duel). He clipped it on expertly onto his arm. In a fluid motion, he slid their deck into the slot.
Yuma reached into his jacket to pull something out. He patted himself down. Then glanced around. He spun around, looking at the ground for something. He turned all his pockets inside out. Yuma froze.
"AUGH! I FORGOT!" He screamed at the sky, grabbing his hair. Yugi and Yami jumped at his sudden screaming. Yuma then turned to where Yugi assumed Astral, the blue alien, stood.
"I left my duel disk in my dorm with Yuya! I have to help him unpack! Sorry, Yugi-senpai! I promised my roommate I would help him unpack! See ya later!" With that Yuma, dashed into the distance.
Yugi blinked in the direction that the boy left in.
/ ….I really wanted to duuuuuueeeeel/
Yugi just laughed and walked back to his dorm. There were certainly special people that went to the Academy. He was sure he would see Yuma again.
Cut! That's chapter two! Hopefully I didn't make Yuma too out of character…. Anyway, please leave reviews and thoughts. Constructive criticism would be appreciated. Tell me if you guys really want Yusaku to show up. I am debating if he should enter the story of not.
Bye Gold Buy!
