"Who's the champion?" A cheerful voice cried in joy.
"Yeah! GO YUMI!" Everyone cheered. Yumi scratched the back of her head nervously. However all thoughts were gone as she felt two arms wrap around her waist.
"That was an amazing duel my love, congratulations my love," a deep voice said. Her head leaned backwards into his shoulder as he nuzzled her neck softly.
"Thanks Yami, I couldn't have done it without you," She said sweetly and the two embraced each other.
"Although at that last minute I was sure you were going to lose," He joked. She did a fake gasp.
"Yami, you didn't have faith in me?" She retorted jokingly. He chuckled at her reaction and the two both kissed each other.
"Aw! They're so cute!"
"Young love, remember when we used to be like that?"
"How adorable!"
"Yeah get that Yugi man!"
The comments about their exchange came soon after.
"No! Please! Master Marik please forgive me! I promise to never fail you ever again! AHHH!" A horrible shrill scream came from where Danny had fallen. He suddenly rose up and went nuts like the rare hunter Yami dueled.
Yami! You and Yumi better be careful! I don't like the looks of this… Said a worried Yugi.
"Well, well, well… Looks like my Princess pulled through this duel. I knew you'd be the right choice. Pretty and a good duelist, just what I want to have as my queen when I become pharaoh…" Danny/Marik smirked.
"Never Marik! She'll never belong to you!" Protested Yami. Yumi looked over to him. His eyes were burning with hatred and his glare hardened as Marik approached them. Yumi never seen such coldness in Yami's eyes and it scared her to see it now.
Would it be like this every time Marik tries to flirt with me? I'm happy that he cares enough to be jealous, but what if he gets possessive? She wondered. Fear ran through Yumi as she stared at the mind slave came closer and Yami getting ready to pounce on him. Suddenly Marik held out his mind slave's deck.
"As promise my princess, you earn his deck and his locator card," Marik said and handed over her prizes. Yumi looked confused while Yami on the other hand, glared furiously at Marik.
How dare that man…First he sends people to steal my puzzle and Joey's Red Eyes, and now he's going after Yumi? All Yami felt there was anger.
"Uh thank you?" Yumi said slowly as Marik winked at her through Danny.
She doesn't even notice that he's flirting with her! And he's the enemy! Maybe she doesn't even care about him trying to kill me! He thought angrily.
"Enough of this Marik! Show yourself to me now! I'll duel you so we can just get this over with!" Yami suddenly burst at Marik. Yumi stared at him in shock from how much anger his voice mustered.
"Not now pharaoh, but I promise we'll duel real soon in the future. I'll see you in the battle city finals. And good luck my princess, I'll go after you really soon," Marik's voice faltered as Danny's body dropped to the ground, showing that his soul was now gone.
Yami angrily led Yumi away from the crowd and into an abandoned alley. He pushed and pinned her against the wall despite her protests and tears.
"Yami! What's gotten into you? Let go!" Yumi cried.
"What's gotten into me? What about you? Marik was flirting with you and you didn't try to stop him or do anything! Did you enjoy his attempts?" He demanded. Yumi stood there, stunned at his accusations.
He accused her of being attracted to another man when he's the one that went on a few dates with Tea! Friendly dates, he said. And now Yami is accusing her of liking another man! Rage filled her body as she pushed him off her.
"How could you say that? I do not like Marik! I love you Yami! I would never cheat on you!" She yelled back. Tears cascaded down her rosy cheeks as a painful stab went through her heart. "I can't believe you'd accuse me of something like that!"
"Easy! Because you were staring at him as he handed you Danny's deck and locator card!" Yami shouted back with just as much rage.
"How can you not trust me? You know I love you! I trust you! And you're the one that goes on random dates with Tea! Friendly dates, I bet!" This was a side of Yumi that not many would see. Yumi was always the one to let people beat her up without even trying to fight back because she didn't want them hurt. Everyone always saw her as the sweet girl that wouldn't hurt a fly. But yet here, she and Yami were shouting at each other loudly as if they were the leaders of opposite sides in a war.
"Tea and I only talk on those days! We never flirt or anything! But if you don't trust me, then maybe we should just break up!"
The words pierced Yumi deeply. 'Then maybe we should just break up!' The words rang through her ears over and over as she stood there staring. Yami's glare turned into a sad gaze as he realized what he just suggested. Everything around her disappeared as Yumi felt her heart break. Needles stabbed into her fragile heart.
"If that's what you want Yami, then fine," She murmured extremely low, but Yami heard her.
Did I really just say that? Yumi's eyes widened in terror, wishing that Yami didn't mean it and would apologize and tell her he didn't mean it. She waited for the make up to happen. Yumi would cry and apologize to him as he would hold her to not leave each other. She wanted to take everything back. But none of it happened. The two ex just stood there staring at each other. As Yumi was about to leave, a light blinded Yumi as Yami shrunk into the smaller Motou.
"Yumi! Are you ok? Please forgive Yami! He's just jealous! He does love you! Don't leave him, it'll break his heart!" Yugi pleaded. Yumi stood there laughing at how stupid it was. She just wished Yami would say sorry and beg her to not leave. Yet, it was Yugi who did it… He did it in Yami's place. Yumi sadly shook her head.
"I'm sorry Yugi, but Yami has to do it on his own. I can't accept him back if you're the one who's apologizing for his mistakes. I'm gonna go and duel someone else ok Yugi? And Yami? If you're listening, good bye," Yumi said, managing to say it through her tears and ran off.
"Yami, you really hurt her. And I hope you know what she meant by good bye…" Yugi said softly to the almost crying pharaoh beside him.
"I know Yugi. I think saying that line was the biggest mistake I ever made…She was the best to ever happen to me…" Yami sobbed.
"Don't worry, I have an idea. Let's go get you your girlfriend back buddy!" Yugi said, trying to cheer him up.
"How? She left me, and she won't come back by simply saying sorry," He said miserably.
"I know, but I got a plan. Her favorite flowers are roses right? We'll start by getting her roses, then I'll explain the rest to you!" Yugi chirped and began running to the nearest flower shop.
"Thank you Yugi, I hope you plan works," Yami said hopefully and went back into the puzzle to think of what to say to Yumi next time he sees her.
Meanwhile with Yumi~~
"I can't believe he broke up with me!" Yumi cried as she ran through the streets. People were yelling at her as she bumped into them, but she didn't care. She didn't care about anything at the moment. Memories of her and Yami kissing, hugging, holding each other, or anything romantic moments they had flashed into her mind, making her tears fall even quicker.
"Watch out!" A voice yelled. Yumi looked to see a motorcycle speeding at her. Time stopped as it came closer.
Is this how it's going to end for me? First I get dumped, and now I'm going to die…I never even get to have my last kiss with him… Oh Yami, I'm sorry, I love you… Yumi closed her eyes and prepared to die. Her life flashed before her eyes as she blacked out.
With Yugi and the gang~~
"WHAT? HE AND YUMI BROKE UP!" Screamed the shocked Tea, Tristan, and Joey, which attracted attention from people nearby. Yugi shushed them to whisper.
"Yes, Yami and Yumi broke up today. But you guys, I know that the two still love each other, we got to get them back together!"
"Yeah!" The group shouted with glee.
"SHUT UP!" People near by shouted. The group apologized and turned back to each other.
"I never felt this giddy since we tried to set the two up last time," Tea chirped.
"I want my man to be happy again Yug!" Joey said, pounding his fist in the air with his giant smile plastered on his face.
"And Yumi is like my sister! Those two are the perfect couple! To getting them back together!" Tristan announced, raising his soda into the air.
"To getting Yami and Yumi back together!" The rest shouted and clanked their sodas together.
"The pharaoh says thank you for all your help and that he'll repay you guys one day for this!" Yugi said happily.
"Don't worry Yami! You don't have to do anything! Friends do things for each other! And since we're all friends, we stick together no matter what!" Tea began, and the others chirped in with a 'here here' anytime she says something they agree on. "You've done so much for us. So as friends, we will do whatever to get you two back together!"
"HERE HERE!" The group yelled in unison. Suddenly their cheering fest stopped as Yugi's cell phone rang.
"Hello? Yes, this is Yugi Motou. WHAT? HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? Well…I… Yes, thank you for calling…" Yugi's voice trailed off as Yami's spirit form appeared and began crying.
"Yugi? What is it?" Tristan asked. Tea and Joey looked worried at their little friend.
"It's Yumi, they said… THEY SAID SHE GOT HIT BY A MOTOCYCLE!" Yugi screamed and sobbed as did the pharaoh.
"WHAT?" The group screamed.
"How'd that happen? Which hospital is she at?" Joey quickly questioned.
"Yeah Yugi, we have to go see her!" Tea agreed.
"Yugi, tell them please…I can't bare it…" Sobbed Yami. Yugi tried to contain his tears to be strong for Yami.
"They said that Yumi was hit and then when the police arrived, they saw nothing! One of the people who saw the accident called. But once the police and ambulance got there, they said they couldn't find Yumi or the person that hit her or any clue of them!" Yugi said exclaimed sadly.
"Wait…So that means that Yumi's missing!" Tea cried.
"Wait, didn't Yumi have her duel disk today?" Joey asked. Everyone looked over at him and saw a lightbulb above his head. A giant grin appeared on his face, only to be replaced by a scowl right after.
"Well what is it Wheeler? Spit it out!" Tristan demanded, grabbing Joey by the shoulders.
"I was thinking we could ask Kaiba to let us track down her location using the tracking chip in her duel disk. But then we would have to see Money Bag's ugly face…" Joey complained with a pouty face.
"That's a great idea Joey!"
"Yeah let's go!" The gang all raced to the nearest taxi and ordered the poor driver to go to Kaiba Crop.
"Please Kaiba! Let us find her!" Yugi pleaded under the cold gaze of the blue eyed CEO. The whole gang had explained what happened earlier when they arrived, Mokuba was crying from the news.
"Fine, but only because I'm fond of your little friend," Kaiba gave in and searched for Yumi on the satellites.
"Huh, I was expecting that to be harder…"Joey whispered. The group nodded in agreement.
"WHAT? THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!" Kaiba screamed.
