Life's unexpecting turns . . .
(Sorry for the delays, but there is so much stuff I need to do that I have barely any time to have fun. Guess I got lucky for writing this chapter. I've been thinking about it well, and some things could go on here in the story. But don't worry; from what I see the story could get better.) DISCLAIMER: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!
Chapter IV: Corruption . . .
*** A few months later . . . *** Time has gone by so fast for some, while others seem to be like an eternity. As usual, days in school go by slowly and dull. For some reason Honda wears sunglasses and strangely remains hidden at all times. He tries to keep his mouth shut from what he saw that one time when he was excused from that test. Yuugi still remains passive and keeps his emotions hidden, but recently gets a slap of reality seeing time doesn't last forever. And after going out a few times, Jounouchi and Anzu finally realize that they are right for each other. They walk to school together, and at times they make excuses to their friends so they can go off together. Still, they try to keep their relationship hidden from everyone. Anzu even tries to keep her secret especially from Yuugi.
Jounouchi and Anzu are both walking to school going through an obscure path in the alley. They try to not be seen so their secret is discovered. Just about as they reach the school and leave the alley Jounouchi takes her hand and stops for a bit. "I've sure liked the times I've spent with you." Anzu turns away a bit thinking about her friendship as well, then looks to Jounouchi. "Yea, but we should be careful. I don't want for Yuugi to find out about this. Do you remember what happened that one time?" Flashback: [At the end of school when everyone was leaving Jounouchi and Anzu were in the back of the school where they expected for no one to be there. Anzu was leaning against the wall, and had her arms around his neck, and Jounouchi had one around her hips and one on her back. They both were soothing each other with kisses, as only the silence is heard. After a few minutes they break the kiss and stare into each other's eyes and smiling. As they are both in a trance Jounouchi lowers his hand as it moves lower down Anzu's back. When they are about to move in closer for another kiss and as his hand was about to go below her waist, a familiar voice broke their dreamlike state. "Anzu? Jounouchi? What are you two doing?" Yuugi's voice is heard from a distance as he walks toward the two. Right then, Jounouchi and Anzu break away from each other and turn around not looking at each other with a flushed expression on their faces. When Yuugi reaches them, he stops and blinks in curiosity. "Um, what were you two doing?" Not realizing, both abruptly talk at the same time trying to make up an excuse. "N-N-NOTHING! T-THERE'S NOTHING!" Yuugi blinks again wondering how come they look so embarrassed. "Come on. It looked like you were hugging each other. What was that all about?" Both turn around all of a sudden trying to figure out an excuse off the top of their heads. Then they begin to alternate talking, starting with Anzu. "Yea! W-we were just t-trying to be friendly to e-each other!" "She's right! W-we weren't getting along so well." "That's right! He's been acting like an ass!" "Yea, and she was being a bitch!" "So we decide to try to settle out our differences here!" "Yea, so we got talking and we settled things out!" "True, and what better way than a friendly hug?" Anzu jumps into Jounouchi's arms suddenly giving him a friendly hug, unlike the one from earlier. They give a fake smile as they both have a sweatdrop from all this. Yuugi once again blinks his eyes, this time from confusion. "Okay, I guess."] Jounouchi nods a bit. "You're right. We'll figure something about this later. Let's just get to school before someone sees us." When he is about to move up to her and show his affection and concern, Anzu is already walking off strangely without saying anything at all. He crosses his arms and gets a bit worried wondering how come at times she acts like this. "That's odd. How come she goes away from me like I'm some stranger? Maybe she's holding back for some reason. I just hope that she'll still want to be with me." Jounouchi sighs, then after walks toward the school.
On the opposite side of the school Yuugi is walking forward to the school alone. "That's it. Today's the day I need to say something. I can't hold back my feelings." Right then he sees Honda walking wearing sunglasses and trying to hide from someone. Yuugi walks up to him wondering about what's with him. "Honda, what's with you lately? Why the sunglasses?" When Honda hears his voice, he jumps away startled. Then when he sees that it's his friend he sighs from relief. "Oh, it's you, Yuugi. What do you mean?" Yuugi gets tired from Honda hiding whatever he hides, so he jumps and snatches the sunglasses away. When he lands he notices that Honda has a black eye on his left eye. "What happened to you?" Honda turns away ashamed from all this, and then decides to finally say something. "Well, let's just say I've made some very bad investments. Now I'm in big debt and there are some loan sharks after me. This is what I got, but I need to pay them back before they do something worse to me." Yuugi nods and hands Honda back his sunglasses. "Well, I'm here every step of the way when you need it."
*** A few minutes before school ends . . . *** Anzu is walking down the hall ahead of time before school ends. She was excused to leave to work early, but she left to spend some time with Jounouchi. She's thinking about if she's making a mistake being with Jounouchi. "Am I doing the right thing? I sense something bad going to happen." She looks up ahead and sees someone walking, and the person is approaching her. "Who is there?" When the person walks right up to her, Anzu realizes who it is. "Yuugi? How did you get here?" Yuugi looks up to her with a smile, but looks a bit nervous. "I just sneaked out." Anzu blinks at the idea. "That doesn't sound like you. Why?" Yuugi closes his eyes for a moment, and then opens them slowly. "Because I have something to say." Anzu's eyes widen a bit, having a bit of an idea of what Yuugi was going to say. His crush wasn't really much of a secret to some people, especially to her. "Uh, I'm sorry. I really have to go. I can't get to work late. See ya!" Yuugi gets Anzu by her arm so that she doesn't leave. "Please, just let me get this off my chest." He lets go of her arm, and Anzu stands there since she doesn't want to be impolite to him. "Alright, what is it?" Yuugi takes a deep breath, and then looks to her. "I think you know this already. Since we knew each other, I've always liked you. I just wanted to know if you wanted to do something, like go out." Anzu blinks at Yuugi's approach, which was nothing like what Jounouchi said. Then she remembers the situation right now. She realizes she can't lie to her friend, so she needs to say the truth. "Yuugi, I'm flattered but I can't. I'm with someone." Yuugi loses his balance and almost falls, since he felt like reality pierced fiercely through his heart. "W-What? With who?" Just then Jounouchi walks toward the two from the same way Anzu walked. Not noticing Yuugi right next to Anzu because of the height, Jounouchi walks to her and puts one arm around her as he smiles. "Ready to go, love?" Anzu then slowly points to Yuugi. Jounouchi turns his head and sees Yuugi with tears running down his eyes in pain from another stab in the heart. "Love? It all makes sense! I can't believe you two! Why did you two keep something like this for so long?" Jounouchi's eyes widen seeing how much he has really hurt Yuugi from all this. "I'm sorry, Yuugi. We should haven't been hiding this for months." All the anger and pain goes to Yuugi's head and runs to Jounouchi punching him in the stomach hard with all his might. Jounouchi falls to his knees surprised how hard Yuugi can hit. Yuugi continues to hold his fist tightly as hard as he's trying to hold back his tears, but cannot hold his emotions easily. "MONTHS!? YOU KNEW HOW I FELT! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD STAB ME IN THE BACK LIKE THIS!" Yuugi runs off away as fast as he can. Anzu kneels down to help Jounouchi up, as both of them look at their hurt friend run off.
As Yuugi runs away from the school trying to escape from the hurt, he accidentally bumps Honda. Honda almost falls and drops his soda, but regains his balance and drops his soda still. "What's your problem!? Oh, it you. What's wrong Yuugi?" Yuugi turns away trying to conceal his tears. "It's just that I just found out Anzu's secret." Honda blinks a bit not knowing how broken down Yuugi is. "Oh, did Anzu or Jounouchi tell you? Or did you find out yourself?" Yuugi's eyes widen in surprise. "You knew too!?" Yuugi continues to run away toward his house, as Honda realizes what stupid thing he just said. "Dammit, why did I have to say that?" All of a sudden, he hears familiar footsteps coming from behind. He turns around seeing two men in black suits each with a gun in their hand. Honda starts to run and hide from them. "Shit, it's the loan sharks. Now what?"
Yuugi finally reaches his grandfather's shop, and runs straight to his room. He removes the sennen puzzle from his neck and places it on his desk. Then he jumps to his bed and places his face on the pillow as he lets his tears run releasing his emotions without interference. After a bit he turns around and stands up looking out the window. "Why did those two have to keep something like this. Why did destiny have to turn like this for those two? Maybe I should change destiny, but how?" A green glow begins to emit from his drawer. Yuugi turns around and wipes his tears a bit, then walks up to the drawer and opens it. He sees the source of the light is coming from the black pack of cards. Taking the cards out, he looks through them. After looking, he throws all the cards on the ground except one. The one he is still holding is causing the glow. After Yuugi stares at the card, his eyes begin to have a red light to them. His eyes change, and it appears as his soul becomes corrupt and blind with the pain and anger he's suffered. "Now I know what I need to do . . . "
(Well, I felt like writing something interesting here this time. I think this story may go on a bit longer than I thought. Well, I don't know if that's good. Guess it's up to the readers there. Good thing there are people that give out opinions. I thank you for taking the time to write on what I have written. So if others read this, please R+R!)
