A Stupid Director That I Want to Beat Like Crap

Yugi woke up early the next day, she's always woke up early actually, she then take a bath and dressed herself for the day. I hope the school wouldn't know that I have something to do with what happened to Ushio, She thought warily.

Yami's Spirit form appeared beside her with a crossed arms, "Actually it's my doing, Yugi." He said with a smug smirk, "And don't worry, no one will find out, people will only thought that he had gone insane because of too much stress and greed".

"I hope so." Yugi replied, she then looked at the Puzzle on her desk, "Hey, I'm not wearing the Puzzle, so how come you heard what I was thinking?".

"Well, because there's only a short distance between you and the Millennium Puzzle, so I can still communicate with you, but I wouldn't be able to enter your body if you're not wearing the Puzzle." Yami explained cheerfully, "Will you wear the Puzzle?" He looked at Yugi curiously, but Yugi could see the hope in his eyes.

Yugi looked at the Puzzle with calculation in her eyes, contemplating whether she should wear it or not. She then decided that it would be better for her to wear the Puzzle considering she had agreed to become friends with Yami, she doesn't like the look of sadness on the other face and eyes anyway, and she didn't know why, but the thought of leaving the Puzzle behind in her room make her nervous.

Without a word, Yugi picked the Puzzle and wear it around her neck. "Thank you." Yami said gratefully, "This way, I won't get lonely then when you are at school".

Yugi nodded, "You're right, it's must be lonely and boring to be alone in the same place without anything to do." She agreed and walked out of her room.

"You know, you can just talked to me Telepathically, that way, no one will look strangely at you." Yami suggested cheerfully, like an excited kid talking about a chocolate cake.

Yugi frowned, 'You better be more careful next time, Yami.' She scolded the Spirit out of the blue, 'I don't want people see me doing something like that Shadow Game, it would be bad if people saw me doing something like that. Other people will definitely linking you with something like an evil ghost, or they will think that I become dangerous and need to be placed behind the bar'.

"Uuh." Yami groaned, "Okay, I will be careful, alright? It's not like there's any witness last night, I already make sure of it, but if it will make you relax, I promise I will extra careful the next time." He promised softly, looking down to the floor, looking like a child getting scolded by his Mother.

Yugi smiled a small smile at him, 'Yami, you are so childish.' She commented softly. Even if it's only a small smile, but since Yugi was hardly making any expression, the small smile was really a big change in her.

Yami only grinned at the comment, he know that he was childish, so he didn't really mind the comment. They soon arrived at the dining room, where Grandpa already finished preparing breakfast.

"Good Morning, Jii-chan." Yugi greeted with a bit of cheerful tone, not just toneless greeting like usual.

Grandpa looked up at her with a big grin on his face, "Good morning, Yugi!" He greet cheerfully, then his eyes caught the sight of the Puzzle, "Hee, so you decided to wear the Puzzle".

"Yes, I don't want to left it at home." Yugi explained while scratching the back of her head, she sat on the chair the opposite from her Grandpa and start eating her toast.

"Yugi." Grandpa called her, Yugi looking up from her toast in respond, "Do you feel any different? More powerful or smarter?" He asked curiously as he touched Yugi's forehead with his palm.

Yugi blinked at him, "Huh? No, what's wrong?" She asked with a bit of confusion.

His Grandpa shook his head, "Nothing's wrong." He answered, "It's just, it is said that whoever solved the Puzzle will gain dark power, I was just curious".

Yugi looked down to her toast, Even if so, Jii-chan, there's no way I can tell you without sounding like a crazy girl. She thought guiltily, I already have enough problem with my sanity for you to believe me. After that short conversation, Yugi continued to eat in silence.

After breakfast, Yugi made her way to the school, she decided to just walking for the day. As she arrived at her school, she was greeted by Jounouchi in front of her locker. "Yugi, can we talked for a bit?" He asked with a sheepish grin.

Yugi stared at the taller male and nodded slowly, wondering what Jounouchi wanted to talk about. Jounouchi cleared his throat, "Um, firstly, I wanna say sorry to you, I said that you were a scaredy cat yesterday and forgot to say sorry after you explained everything to me." He looked at her sheepishly, "And I want to asked you if you want to go to the arcade with me today after school?".

Yugi's eyes softened, "Sure, Jounouchi." She said softly with a nod of her head.

Jounouchi was grinning widely when he heard the answer, "Just call me Jou, it's hard to say 'Jounouchi' after all." He told her and then they made their way to class together, catching the people's attention right away, though no one dared to assume anything because they were scared of the glare Jounouchi sent to the whispering students.

The classes went on like usual, Yugi was paying attention to class like usual while Honda and Jounouchi were talking quietly to themselves, their seats were next to each other behind Yugi's, sometimes Yugi would commented here and there when the Teacher was not looking her way.

The next period, Jounouchi get different class, so it left Yugi walking by herself to her next class. On her way to class, a boy wearing her school's uniform was walking to her, he looked too old to be in high school though.

"Hey boy, have you heard about the actor?" The man asked casually, as if they were friends.

"Actor?" Yugi asked in confusion, "Nope, I don't hear any. What actor and who are you?".

"I'm Fujida, since you don't know about the actor, I can lead you to him." Fujida offered with a sly smirk.

"Huh? Are you sure?" Yugi asked in suspicion, beside her, Yami appeared in spirit mode, he narrowed his eyes at the man.

"Yep. He and I are friends. We will meet after school, I can show ya!" Fujida told her. "Just don't take anyone with ya. He don't like publicity".

'What kind of actor dislike publicity?' Yugi commented to Yami.

Yami nodded in agreement, "I find this guy suspicious." He added seriously.

'Same with me.' Yugi agreed, "Sorry but no, I'm busy after school." She said tonelessly and walked passed the stunned man.

Yugi entered the class and take a seat on her usual spot, not to far from Tomoya Hanasaki, a boy that she noticed as a loner like herself in the past. Hanasaki looked like he had a good day because he was grinning to himself during the class, What's so good I wonder? She thought to herself before she changed place with Yami.

Yugi dislike History, the only History she like was about Ancient Egypt, so she decided to let Yami take over while she decided to play with herself in her Soul Room. Yami didn't mind though, he like History and was quite enjoying himself, so it's a win-win situation. After school, since Yugi had fell asleep sometime during the History, he went to Yugi's locker, he met Jou on the way.

Huh? Jounouchi blinked when he saw Yugi, the girl looked very cheerful. He never saw Yugi that cheerful before, Yugi normally expressionless, or in rare occasion when she was happy, she only smiled a tiny bit that would went unnoticed unless people were paying close attention to her expression. He decided to shrugged it off, it's better if Yugi was back to her cheerful self anyway, even if it was happening too suddenly like that. He walked to her, "Hey, Yugi, ready to go?" He asked with a grin on his face.

"Sure, Jou, let's go." Yami answered while trying to sound like Yugi, meaning he had to refrain himself from getting too cheerful, before he caught a glimpse of Hanasaki following the man from before, "Huh?" He blinked in confusion.

"What's wrong?" Jounouchi asked as he looked at the same direction that Yami looked at.

"I thought I saw Hanasaki following the strange man I met earlier today." Yami answered him hesitantly.

"Yami, I get a bad feeling about this, follow him." Yugi, who was still in her Soul Room, told him.

Yami nodded in agreement, he turned to Jounouchi, "Jou, I'm going to follow Hanasaki, I get a bad feeling about this." He told him and run to the direction he saw Hanasaki took.

"I'm going with you!" Jounouchi yelled as he run along with Yami, they turned the corner and caught a glimpse of Hanasaki walk in a haste to the back entrance.

Narrowing her eyes, Yugi took over her body back and hastened her pace, somehow she get a feeling this wouldn't end well, Jounouchi noticed the change in Yugi's expression and also quickened his pace.

When they got outside, they saw Hanasaki walking with a man Jounouchi never saw before, they ran until they get to behind the gym. Jounouchi saw the man smirked at Hanasaki, the smirked looked wicked in his eyes, he also noticed that Yugi had stiffened a bit, so she must had seen the evil intention of the guy as well.

"So, where is the actor?" Hanasaki asked with an innocent grin.

The man, Fujida, chuckled wickedly and out of the blue punching Hanasaki in the face. Then he kicked Hanasaki's stomach, effectively throwing him to the wall.

Yugi and Jounouchi gasped before took off running to the man, "HEY! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" Joey yelled in anger, even if he never talked to Hanasaki before, it doesn't mean he would let some strange guy beat the crap out of him. He grabbed Fujida by the collar and raised his fist in the air. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't beat the crap out of you right here and now!" He growled angrily.

"The Director . . . he made me. I didn't want to." Fujida answered in fear.

"That's it." A man hidden in the bush said to his worker, a camera was revealed from the bushes held by some cameramen. "This will make my film famous."

Yugi ran to Hanasaki, "Hanasaki, are you okay?" She asked in concern. She could see a nasty bruise forming on his face already, she touched Hanasaki's stomach to see if there's a broken bone, but she retreated her hand immediately when Hanasaki hissed in pain.

"I . . . wanted to see the actor." Hanasaki whispered weakly.

Yugi sighed, "Hanasaki, it's very clear that that guy was lying to you." She said exasperatedly, "Please don't so easily trust what people say like that, what if he kidnapped you?".

Hanasaki looked at her with tear filled eyes, "I'm sorry, Yugi-chan." He whispered softly, still in shock of what happened.

"Cut! Cut! We don't need to film a friendship drama like this!" The Director ordered as he and his crew coming out from the bushes. "We've already got what we came for. Now, people will feel sorry for poor Hanaski for being the bullied victims. It will brings in a great audience for us." He smirked confidently. "At least, this boy will become excellent celebrity".

Jounouchi snapped his attention to the man, he threw Fujida aside, "You son of a bitch!" He glared at the man. "I'LL KILL YOU FOR THIS!".

Jounouchi snatched the Director's throat, "With the camera recording all your actions?" The man challenged.

Jounouchi noticed the camera and froze before being kneed on the chest, Yugi stared in horror and anger while Yami's spirit gasped in anger. "Jounouchi!" Yugi yelled in worry, she lowered Hanasaki to the ground gently before running to Jounouchi.

"And with that, I'll take my leave, I already got what I came for after all." The Director smirked before he, his TV crew, and Fujida left the area.

"Jou! Are you alright?" Yugi asked in worry as she cradled her friend, who winced in pain while clutching his chest. Yami's spirit stood beside Yugi while glaring daggers at the direction which the Director taken, he get really angry because the man dare to do something like that to Yugi's friend, and Yugi's friends were his friends as well.

Yugi was angry herself, she called Honda and explained to him what happened and asked him to take Jounouchi and Hanasaki to their homes. After Honda agreed to help, she closed her phone and put it back in her pocket. She lowered Jounouchi to the ground and standing up, eyes hard with anger and determination.

"Yami." Yugi called as she walked in the same direction the Director took.

"Yes, Yugi?" Yami asked as he followed after Yugi.

Yugi's hand clenched tightly, "I wanted you to give that bastard a Penalty Game." She growled lowly, "I give you permission, I won't let him get away with this, he will doing the same to other people if he left alone".

Yami looked at Yugi in surprise before nodding in agreement, "Alright." He said and take over the control over Yugi's body, "And I will make sure no one watching us." He smirked at Yugi, who smirked back at him.

XXXXX

That night, the Director had finished editing his movie, he was excited as he heading for his car. But when he arrived at his car, a boyish looking girl already waiting for him. "You are the girl from before, Yugi, was it?" The Director smirked. "What are you doing this late of night?"

"I'm here to play a game with you," Yami replied calmly. "A game called Shadow Game. The rule is easy..." He showed a dice in his palm. "I roll a number and you must roll one that is lower than that number. A warning for you, if you cheat, you will have to face the consequence, and if you lose, you will face a Penalty Game."

"A Penalty Game?" Director asked in mocking tone, "That's stupid!".

"Just wait and see," Yami said with a smirk, he threw the dice and it landed on a six.

The Director snorted, "Well, looks like I win by default, there's no way I'm gonna lose." He said confidently.

"You might be lucky, but the game will not over until you win." Yami said calmly while handing the dice over to Director.

"So stubborn." The Director said as he took the dice, "Game over!" The Director snapped while throwing the dice at Yami, he turned around to go while laughing loudly, obviously thinking that he already won.

Yami had protected his forehead by his Millennium Puzzle and the dice cracked in two by the impact, the two pieces landed on the ground, a six showed on one side while the other half of the dice showed a one.

"I win." Yami announced with a smirk and his arms crossed, causing the Director to turned around and gasped in shock, the dice broken in half. Yami pointed his right index finger at Director as a third eye appeared on his forehead, "Penalty Game! Illusion of Mosaic!" He exclaimed and a Magic from the third eyes on his forehead shot towards the Director through his index finger.

Director's vision started turning mosaic, it started with Yami, and then everything else. He gasped and screamed in horror when all he can see was mosaic.

Yami grinned on triumph while Yugi stood by his side. "Nice job, Yami." Yugi nodded in satisfaction.

'Thanks!' Yami answered cheerfully. "You will now only see through mosaic since you twist reality for your own needs and desires." He told the screaming Director.

"NOOOOO!" Director screamed loudly before fainting.

Yugi chuckled silently, "Let's go home now." She told Yami softly, Yami nodded and give back the control to Yugi.

While walking out, Yugi noticed a figure outside of the studio. Dreading being found out, she walked cautiously to the figure, than noticed that it's her new friend, Jounouchi Katsuya.

Jounouchi saw him and gasped, "Yugi?" He asked in surprise.

"Jou, what are you doing here?" Yugi asked curiously, inside she's glad that Jounouchi didn't see anything.

"I came to get this" Jounouchi smirked while showing the video tape, he threw it to the ground and stepped powerfully on it, making sure it broke to pieces, "This way, that asshole wouldn't humiliate Hanasaki anymore than that".

Yugi smiled a bit at him, "I'm glad you are okay, Jou." She said honestly, remembering the hit her friend received earlier.

Jounouchi grinned at her, "Don't worry, I'm strong." He said while patting his chest to proof his point, he then blinked at Yugi, "And what are you doing here?" He asked in confusion.

Yugi winked at him, "I was just making sure that the stupid bastard won't cause any more harm." She answered mischievously, "Let's go home." She suggested after a moment of silence.

Jounouchi stared at Yugi for a while, not only that he never expected Yugi to use foul language, he also wondering what Yugi did to the Director, and how? Seeing Yugi's small figure and being a female, he couldn't imagine Yugi attacking someone who was bigger than her.

In the end, Jounouchi only smiled at Yugi and nodded, they then walked together, chatting on their way to homes before separating to get to their respective homes.

"Haaaah." Yugi sighed as she flopped down to her bed, she already closed her eyes and was ready to get to sleep at any moment, but then she noticed Yami was snuggling at her. "Yami?" She asked as she opened her eyes, she could see Yami was lying on the bed beside her, his arms wrapped around Yugi's waist and his face on her shoulder.

Yami's hold on Yugi tightened before he looked up to meet Yugi's Amethyst eyes, "Can I hold you like this?" He asked pleadingly..

Yugi looked at Yami's violet eyes, "Why?" She asked in confusion.

Yami blushed lightly, "I kind of having dificulty sleeping without holding you." He admitted embarrassedly.

Yugi raised her eyebrows, "You mean you were snuggling me like this before? I don't remember." She commented.

Yami chuckled, "It's because I waited for you to sleep before hugging you." He answered cheerfully.

Yugi's eyes softened at him, she shifted a bit so she could get more comfortable before pulling Yami's head to her, she kissed the Spirit's forehead and closed her eyes, "Alright, I will become your snuggling bear." She whispered softly, "My childish Onii-chan (Big Brother)".

Yami stared at Yugi with wide eyes before breaking into a big grin, "Then, you will be my Imouto-chan (Little Sister), Yugi." He said as he snuggled his head at Yugi's neck, after he get comfortable, he immediately drifted to sleep, humming softly in content.

A smile forming on Yugi's lips as she leaning her head on Yami's head, "I already love you as my Onii-chan, Yami." She whispered before she herself entered the dream land.
