Emi: Wow! We have eight people following this already!
Kori: That is about the average fan of Yu-Gi-Oh's age.
Emi: Don't discourage them Kori.
Kori: Yeah, let's give them false hope. One day they will become a teenage Yaoi fanfic writer for a show about card games like you Emi!
Rasa: -Sigh- Kori come on now... Read and review!
Chapter two, The ignorant and the arrogant.
"What is with you!" Yugi snapped.
Yami turned around and groaned, "Quit being a child, Motou." He sounded slightly irritated.
"You don't go around kissing people without their permission." Yugi kept snapping at him, still keeping his voice low so no one would hear he got kissed by a man. If you think about it though, this is a Shounen-Ai department: they have heard, seen, and written worse. "Who do you think you are!" He growled.
Yami walked closer to Yugi and glared down at him for a moment then calmed down, "If you can't handle a simple kiss, then you cannot even handle anything in this department." He leaned against the wall for a moment trying to relax and not yell at the new employee, again.
"I'm not even staying in this department anyway." He mumbled under his breath.
Yami's ears perked up, slightly angry. "Why did you sign up to work here than? As a joke?" He glared. Yami leaned forward away from the wall and stared at him like he might tear him to shreads. "Why the hell did you come?" He asked.
Yugi backed up not liking that tone one bit. "I wanted to work in the Shounen department, not this department." He answered.
Yami glared at him for a moment, then began to give a disappointed look. "I suppose that is a good thing." He sighed.
Yugi became slightly confused. "Why is that?" He asked.
"Because you would not last a day here, let alone a year." Yami smirked.
"Yes I could!" Yugi snapped. "I could do it, but why would I want to?" He shouted. "Are you joking with me!" Yugi continued to get angrier.
"Ah, I see. You would think this department is a joke." Yami chuckled.
Yugi realized that Yami was just messing with him but that just made him angrier. "I don't think I am suited for this job, I'm not really gay." Yugi tried to calm down, not wanting to give Yami what he wanted.
Yami rolled his eyes and took a hold of Yugi's hand and began dragging him again to the Shounen-Ai department. "H-Hey! Let go!" Yugi tried to yank his hand away feeling embarrased again seeing the stunned looks of his new co-workers. Yugi kept silent after awhile and saw that Yami dragged him back into section three. Once Yugi looked around for a moment, he realized what Yami was trying to tell him. There were two women there, so not all of them were gay.
"Come on, you're going to introduce yourself to everyone." Yami commanded.
"Wait! I won't be working here though-"
"You saw how I helped Valentine correct?" Yami asked.
Yugi nodded, "But you didn't want to."
"I did it because we are all apart of the same system. It does not matter, in fact there are writers I respect in the Shojou section, Shounen, and even the Shoujo Ai section." Yami said.
Yugi didn't respond for a moment, he just wondered what was Yami trying to accomplish.
"Now come on, I want you to go around and introduce yourself." Yami began to push Yugi next to one of the editors. Yami didn't stay for long though, he simply went back to his desk and began to make some calls to his authors, or at least that is what Yugi thought.
The first one was a short man called Fumio, apparently he had been working there for over eight years and had a wife. He was confused on what kind of wife would allow this type of work. He just didn't say anything about it. Nothing at All. Although the fact that his desk was the one with the cloth over it and covered in stuffed animals made him even more curious.
"Can I call you Yugi?" He asked pushing back his bangs.
Yugi nodded, "I don't care really, I prefer to be called Yugi to be honest though." He admitted. Sometimes it was simply too awkward to be called Motou, it made him feel like he was in his high school days again.
"You seem uncomfortable. Is it the teddy bear?" He asked.
Yugi felt the need to say, "Yes, you are a grown man and married why do you have a desk that looks like a five year old girl's desk, while you work on Yaoi?" But he didn't say it just to be polite.
"I know you want to ask, so I might as well tell you. My wife gave me this stuff so I keep it on my desk so I can resist the urge to go home and see her." Fumio picked up the bear and began to cuddle with it.
"Ah." Yugi awkwardly laughed and said bye before having to move on to the next person, but he already knew her so this would be easy enough.
Kori looked away from her work for a moment and looked up with a sour look on her face. "What is it Yugi?" She growled. She was on the phone a moment ago and because of the fact she had eight broken pencils on her desk, it did not end well.
"What happened?" Yugi asked hoping not to end up like one of the many pencils on the desk.
She sighed and lifted up one of the pages from the draft causing Yugi almost to scream out loudly. It was a sex scene like one he had saw earlier, except this was the most detailed part of the whole draft. Yugi looked away and began to blush. "W-What's wrong with it?" He asked with a stutter.
Kori sighed and began to point to one of the men on the page, "She censored his pe-"
Yugi did not let her finish because he began to clear his throat. "What is wrong with that?" He asked.
She set down the paper, "Well, I just don't like censoring stuff like that. I mean we all know what it is. Just draw the damn thing!"
"I wanna quit. I wanna quit. I wanna quit so much." Yugi thought. He talked with Kori for a few more minutes before having to talk to three more people: Akira, Hiro, and Takeshi. Surprisingly Takeshi was the only gay person out of all the men working in that section. Akira was slightly awkward to be around and had seemed like he got too absorbed in his work. Although, Hiro was the only normal one and said his author does not do any sex scenes, so it was perfect for him.
But the last one, the only other female, was the most frightening of them all.
"What do you want?" She asked.
Yugi noticed her desk first, he remembered it quite well. There were small posters of hard core yaoi scenes nailed to the head board of the desk, multiple names and numbers of authors, and a stack of papers that were coated in red ink. Yugi thought of how harsh she must be due to the fact, red ink means corrections.
"I'm supposed to introduce myself. I am Yugi Motou." He said giving a smile.
She put what looked like hand sanitize on her hands then began to shake Yugi's hand then cleaned her hand again. This caused Yugi to slightly get ticked off but kept it to himself.
"I am Kuro." She simply said. The name fit her all too well.
"Oh, that sounds like a nice name." Yugi awkwardly laughed again.
"What's your favorite manga?" She asked moving her bangs away from her face. She had a red streak down the left side of her hair, which in some manga meant she had a boyfriend but Yugi shivered at the thought of what kind of boyfriend she would have.
"Yokai academy." Yugi answered. It was a manga about a weak demon trying to become a stronger one so he can finally leave the academy and de-throne the highest up demon.
She looked a bit confused, "Ain't that a Shounen manga?" Her voice had a hint of an accent somewhere, it almost made him want to ask what race was she.
"Yes." Yugi answered.
Kuro began to brush her hair with her fingers, "So you an Uke?" She asked with a light smirk on her face.
Yugi tilted his head to the side a bit confused, "An Uke?" He asked.
"That means your a bo-"
"Kuro!" Kori exclaimed and left her desk with a red pen still in hand. "Don't sexually harass Yugi!" She snapped pushing Yugi away.
"But I still don't know what an Uke is." Yugi sounded confused and a bit scared about what that might mean.
"Hey! Get back to work! If you don't finish today you are staying later again!" Yami shouted. He glared over at Kori, "Is your author even done yet?" He asked.
Yugi figured out that at this point when ever her author was mentioned she would go back to her desk and grumble to herself.
"Motou, come with me." Yami left his desk, leaving everyone in awe that Yami was already done with all of his editing. Since he was the editor and chieft he had the most well known authors and the most amount. If you are good enough though, it is no problem. He walked down back in to the break room and sat down after getting a drink.
"What do you think?" Yami asked.
"About what?"
Yami rolled his eyes and took a sip of his drink. "The editorial staff." He responded.
"Oh. They seemed a bit different. But I already said I can't stay sir." Yugi frowned.
Yami took the final sips of his drink before throwing it away. "Can't say I am surprised. You don't even know what an Uke is." He chuckled.
Yugi sighed, "I doubt you know everything either."
"Oh but I do know everything," Yami began to smirk for a moment before clearing his throat. "I do know everything. Yugi Motou, twenty-two years old, went to East Domino College for two years, single, a virgin-"
His eyes shot open and he nervously looked over at Yami, "How did you know that?" Yugi exclaimed.
Yami almost busted out laughing, "I read your resume dumbass!" He said in between his laughter.
"But that last part-"
"I made it up. Don't tell me it's true?" Yami began to lightly stroll around the hallway keeping in his laughter.
Yugi looked away and began to grip down on to the edge of his pockets, "You are making me really want to work here sir." He said obviously in a sarcastic tone.
Yami's eyes narrowed, "Why not work here?" He asked. Yami seemed to be persistent on getting Yugi to work here for some reason that Yugi did not know.
Yugi rolled his eyes again, "Look, I have no problem with Shounen-Ai but I could never work here." He mumbled.
Yami walked closer and began to tower over Yugi again, "Why?"
He blushed slightly and backed away from Yami, "Because I'm not gay." He said.
"But there is only two people editing there who are gay." Yami tilted his head. This was slightly confusing since Yugi only knew one people who were gay. Maybe one of the other men were secretly gay? Maybe Koru was gay, but why would she be working in Shounen-Ai... Wouldn't Shoujo-Ai suit her more? Yugi decided not to think about this after awhile.
"I just can't alright. I want to do something else." Yugi insisted.
"I hate half ass people." Yami growled and began to walk back to section three, by himself.
Yugi stood there a bit shocked for a moment. He started to look down a bit confused and slightly disappointed.
"Why should I feel guilty?"
