Chapter 2: Four Alike Plus One Rose
A young man of 18 years stood in front of a body length mirror working on his tri-colored hair of black, red, and blond. He was wearing a silk short sleeved violet shirt, black leather trousers, a neck belt and chain bracelets, and the last but certainly the most important thing to this young man was an upside down pyramid attached to the chain that hung from his neck.
"Finally!" cried the young man after fighting with his hair for a couple of minutes.
A laugh came from behind him. Turning around to look at the person admitting the soft baritone laugh he saw a man only a couple of years, by one or two, older than him and look closely like him the only difference were the sharp features and deep crimson eyes instead of the gentle amethyst eyes. Both though had spiky black hair ripped in red with blond bangs framing their face, though the older had o few streaking through the black base. He was also more tanned then the 18 yr. old boy who was a beautiful pale were he didn't look unhealthy, a male version of Snow White if you must compare him to someone.
"Ow, shut up Yami!" the younger yelled.
"But Aibou…" Yami started to say.
"No buts Yami; plus, it takes you just as long to get your hair right, too."
"Yes, but, I don't see why you're fusing over your hair just for one person."
"That person is my cousin who I haven't seen in years my yami, so I want to make a good impression when I do," the younger turned back to the mirror at this point for a final check fidgeting with his close and stuff.
Yami let out a sigh and walked up behind the younger, "Yugi you look good don't worry so much, plus if your cousin is anything like you say then they will not care about how you look as long as your there."
A smile crept to Yugi's lips as a blush arose to his cheeks at what Yami said. Turning around to look at the semi-transparent figure behind him the smile grow and brighten as he gave the apparition a hug and muttered a thank-you to him. Yami gained a slight tent of red to his checks at his Aidou's hug that he tried to fight down as he returned the hug.
The moment was ruined by the door slamming open causing the two to jump from each other's embrace. Turning towards the door Yugi and Yami saw a tanned replica of Yugi standing in the door way with a shit eating grin. He was dressed exactly like Yugi except his shirt was crimson instead of violet.
"Owe did I interrupt something?" he asked seeing the flushed faces of Yami and Yugi.
"NO!" both yelled at the young man their faces darkening.
"What did you need Heba?" Yugi asked his twin brother while trying to figure out how to murder his brother and get away with it.
"Mom's ready to go if you are," Heba said deciding to not push his luck and tease his brother and the spirit more.
"Okay we'll be down in a minute," Yugi replied slowly calming down at the idea of seeing his cousin again.
Heba gave a nod at that and closed the door. The two left in the room looked at each other and a blush rose to their checks once again.
"Um… I think going to go back into the puzzle so you can finish getting ready," Yami said disappearing after Yugi gave a nod to him.
Yugi turned around after Yami had retired to the puzzle and did one last look over. Once he was sure that everything was okay and how he wanted it Yugi ran out of his room and down the stairs jumping down the last few steps. When he landed on the living room floor he saw his mom and brother waiting for him by the door ready to go.
"Ready t o go?" Yugi and Heba's mother asked.
"Yep," the twins said grabbing their leather jackets and heading out into the cold air to the car.
The ride to the hospital, which their cousin was just released from, was a short drive to the boys in the back including Yami's own twin Atemu who resides in Heba's puzzle. All through out the trip Yami and Atemu kept asking the younger twins about their cousin.
"So how old is your cousin?" Atemu asked through the link that the four shared.
"19" Heba replied after a moments thought to hold old their cousin is.
"So what should we expect when we meet your cousin?" Yami asked this time.
"Well we should tell you that our cous' does have multi-personality disorder. Each one is a little different but not enough that, unless you know her, that you can't tell…"
"Wait! What her? I thought that your cousin was male by the way you two talked about her," Yami interrupted Yugi.
"Yes our cousin is female; also the way to distinguish between her personalities is by her eye color."
"So which color is how?" Atemu asked
"Well if I remember right there's five personalities all together. Their eye colors are hazel, red, blue, green, and crystal-white. The personality with the hazel eyes is the main one, her name is Desseria Rose King. She is the mixture of all the personalities," Heba finished for Yugi, who just picked up were he left off.
"When Dess's eyes are red that means that Nina is in control. Nina is a hot head so don't mess with her family, thing don't turn out for the one that does. She is a pyromaniac but that's no surprise since her name means fire. She's also the trouble maker of the group.
"Blues eyes show that it's Oceana. She's the calm one of the group, the strategist if you will. Swimming is her number one thing to go, she just loves the water.
"Baby greens are Maka, the mother-hen of the five. If you got a problem it's best to go to her especially if you need comfort. She loves gardening and defiantly has the green thumb for it.
"The last one is like the younger sister of the group with her crystal eyes representing her name. Crystal is very hyper, one second she'll be doing one thing then the next she will be do the complete opposite. Never, I repeat NEVER, give her sugar or anything sweet with out one of the other personality's permission." Yugi finished just as they arrived at the hospital.
Standing out side the gates of the hospital when the arrived, was a young lady of 19 years, standing at about 5'7". Her long dark brown hair with w tint of red was pulled back into a high pony-tail that reached her mid-back with her chin-length bangs hanging down framing her face. She had lightly tanned skin that was between Yugi's and Heba's cooler. At the moment you couldn't see her dark eyes that were silver-gray that faded into a brown for they were closed in what look like deep thinking. You could tell that she wasn't too skinny or to big for her built. She adorned a fancy red sweeter with a swoop neck that seemed to help block the oncoming winter air, black boot lag jeans that fit snug to her lag contrasting perfectly with her lose fitting sweeter. On her feet was a pair of wedges that a lot of people thought she was crazy for wearing during the winter time. To complete her look she wore a pair of sunglasses almost as if the were a headband partly holding her bangs from failing into her face.
Yugi and Heba started to get exited when saw the young lady standing out there. They both smiled at each other and as soon as the car stopped in front of her, snapping her out of her thoughts, they were out of the car to great her with yami and Atemu next to them.
"Hey Dess, it's good to see you again," Yugi said giving the young brunette, Dess, a hug.
"You are Dess right?" Heba teased also giving her a hug while laughing.
"Yes I'm Dess, my eyes are hazel aren't they, so don't worry Love," Dess responded while laughing along with Heba.
"Wait! What? What right does she have to call him love?" Atemu thought after hearing that not comprehending that this was Desseria there cousin.
"Yep so how are the others?" Heba asked after taking a good look at her eyes.
"Good their all asleep right now, so please don't be calling them out because it's finally quite for once."
Yugi and Heba couldn't help but to burst out laughing causing Dess to roll her dark eyes at them. The next question that she asked though shocked all of them.
"So how have the two, or should I say four, of you been?"
"What…how did…? Where?" was all that Atemu could get out, so Yami decided to help him out.
"How can your cousin see us because I'm pretty sure that you didn't tell her?"
"I'm not sure," Yugi replied.
"Come on boys get in the car I want to get away from this place as possible and I'll explain later so come on," came Dess's shout from the passenger seat.
"I guess we'll find out later," Heba said while shrugging his shoulder along with Yugi then got into the back seat of the car with Yami and Atemu retreating back into their respective puzzle.
