AUTHOR'S NOTE: I am such a dummy... I am so sorry for not getting the next chapter up. I finally had a couple days off, b/c of Fall Break, and since golf just finished, I'm hoping to get more chapters up ASAP! Besides, this chapters aren't going to be long-more or less-so I really don't have no excuses...

DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh! I am trying to get my own Seto Kaiba trenchcoat for myself! :D


Chapter Four

Yugi, after he finished his letter, gave it to his grandpa.

"Can you make sure this is sent? It's to a friend of mine."

"Which one?" He asked.

"Ryou, the white haired one. The quiet one-"

"I know who you're talking about now. Well, is he still quiet?" Yugi nodded as Solomon took the letter. "I'll take it to the post office in the morning tomorrow. Besides, dinner is almost done. Do you want some?"

Yugi's stomach growled on cue as they both laughed.

"Yeah. That sounds great! What is for supper?"

"We decided to make spaghetti and meatballs. You liked it when you were little… Always playing with the noodles and make a mess for us." Yugi blushed as the walked into the kitchen.

"Yugi!" His grandma, Isabella, called out and walked over to him. "How have you been?"

"Good. Today has just been so chaotic!" Yugi pointed out as they hugged each other. "Is dinner almost done?"

"Yep. Just got to wait for the sauce to cook and then it'll be ready. Can you get the plates Solomon?"

"No problem." His grandpa said as he walked over to his wife, kissed her on the cheek, and Yugi smiled. He observed his grandpa and remembered where the glasses and dishes were so that he could help.

"Yugi, can you please get water for us?"

He nodded. "Yes. But do you have some milk?"

"Of course. We just got a new carton yesterday." Solomon pointed out as he put the glasses and dishes on the table, helping his grandson.

"Thanks, grandpa." Yugi acknowledged, holding the milk and his grandpa holding the water.

Putting the stuff where they belonged, Isabella turned to the stove, stirring the sauce, and smiled softly. "Solomon, if you don't mind, I forgot to get breadsticks. Can you go outside and get them for me?"

"Yes, of course." He smiled and walked out of the house, to the garage, and get the breadsticks in the freezer.

Isabella turned to her grandson, and smiled. "So, tell me about your trip."

Yugi turned to face her as he sighed. "It was a LONG flight! Getting to Japan was no problem… Just getting here was."

"Why is that?"

"Well…" Yugi explained to his grandma about the train ride, the gun, his asthma attack, along with the panic attack, and Yami.

"Who is this Yami guy?" She asked softly.

"He saved my life. He had an inhaler, like I do, and used it on me. I couldn't reach mine, and yeah… I wished I could thank him."

Yugi put his head down as Isabella smiled.

"Did you catch his last name at all?" Yugi shook his head as Isabella sighed. "That's okay. I'm sure you guys will meet again. This is a small world after all."

The door opened as Solomon walked into the warm kitchen.

"Thank you so much Honey." She kissed him on the cheek and opened the box, putting in a few breadsticks. "Dinner will be done in a few, I promise."

Yugi nodded as his grandpa poured himself a glass of water. Yugi poured himself some milk as Isabella turned to the stove and smiled softly to herself.

I bet he doesn't know the secret legacy between our family and his… Yami and Yugi are going to get closer, somehow, and I don't think I'll be able to stop it.


Ryou's plane finally dropped down around 5 in the afternoon, pacific time. Ryou found his luggage and walked over to where his plane had let him off. He waited for only a few minutes as he saw his dad walk through the big crowd at LAX. Ryou smiled as they met in the middle.

"Good to see you, dad." Ryou said as his dad nodded.

"Same here, Ryou. How has everything been?"

Ryou gave his wheeled-luggage to him as Ryou carried the duffle-bag.

"Nice. Summer has been good over at home, but too hot some days." Ryou explained as his dad nodded. "What about you?"

"… I have a lot to show you and tell you about, so why not get into the car first, and I'll tell you all about it."

"Okay." Ryou followed his dad to the parking lot and saw that his dad, the one that moved away from his mom and himself, the one who didn't have the best job, the one who his mom thought was going downhill, had a shiny red, possibly brand new, Corvette. Ryou's mouth dropped open as his dad laughed.

"Yes… There is A LOT of things I have to tell you… But we will take turns telling each other what has been going on, alright?" Ryou nodded and put his stuff in the trunk. Ryou was still flabbergasted as they drove out of the airport parking lot. Ryou put his backpack in between his legs and grabs out his notebook and one workable pen.

"Well, let me write it all down." Ryou smiled, lying through his teeth, as his dad began.

Ryou knew what his dad was saying, and had the best memory among his friends. He decided to write to Joey this time. Even though he wrote to Marik and had the letter in his backpack, he'll mail that later, but he wanted to get Joey's thoughts on this, too.

Joey,

How's everything? I hope that you're having a good time over in Tennis, Tennessee. Kidding, but I finally made it to California! I am in my dad's car, a red, shiny CORVETTE, and he is explaining everything to me. I'm a bit overwhelmed. Why, and how, did he get this car? I really hope he is living in a nice home, have a nice job, you know…

It's a little… scary. I've just now seen my dad and BOOM he has a life… Great… Anyways, he just told me how he met this woman… Wait… Woman? He… remarried? And he didn't even decide to tell me? Now, I'm freaking out in the inside! Her name is Natalie, and she has two teenagers as well… Lovely… I'm not even an open person, and now… I just want to go home, back to Kentucky… This is getting out of my comfort zone and what if they don't like me? Natalie and her children? Is it too late not to go home? Oh look! The HOLLYWOOD sign! I've got to take a picture of that! Sorry, but this is getting to be too much for me.

Your pal,

Ryou


After dinner, Yugi walked into the game shop, looking at all the stuff his grandpa had to sell.

"Hey grandpa." Solomon poked his head through the door.

"Yes, what is it Yugi?"

"Well… One day can you show me everything you have?"

Solomon nodded. "How about later this week? You still need to get settled in."

Yugi smiled. "I know… But, you know how I am about games… I love to play them, and they're so much fun!"

"I know that Yugi."

"Hmm…" Yugi turned to his grandpa. "Can I go to the pier? It's just a couple blocks from here, right?"

"Yes… But please take your cell phone with you. I don't want you to go out there, alone. Be back before 8."

Yugi nodded. "No problem! I'll be back before that." He walked out of the door and stared at his clock. "It's seven now… So that shouldn't be too bad, right?"

Yugi walked towards the pier, passing an ice cream shop and a music store.

I'll have to come back here with money next time.

He made a mental note to himself as Yugi saw the pier. He was a block away as he held his camera in his hand.

"Wow! This sunset is beautiful!" Yugi cried out as he took pictures of the sunset and boats coming in and out. He walked up and down, taking pictures, and stopped when he saw a person sitting down on a boardwalk. Yugi walked up to the figure and stopped short, again, when he saw it was his look-a-like. He gulped and turned away.

"Hold on." Yugi froze as he turned around slowly. "You're the teen from the train ride today!" Yugi nodded as Yami walked towards the small teenager.

"Yami, right?" Yami was taken aback, but smiled to hide the shockness.

"Yes. I'm glad that you remembered my name. But, I never caught your name at all?"

Yugi froze up, again, as Yami got to Yugi's height. "I-it's Y-yugi…"

"Yugi… What a pretty name…" Yugi nodded and was blushing pink. He walked to the other side of the boardwalk, Yami following right behind him.

"Y-yami…" Yugi gulped, taking a deep breath. "What is your last name?"

"My last name is Garrison." Yugi nodded and turned around, walking away from the water. "Where are you going?"

"I got to be home before 8, and it's 7:40, and it takes a bit to get home, and I don't want to be late…" Yugi was rambling on as Yami smiled, crossing his arms. Yugi stopped as he saw that smile. "Why are you smiling?"

"Because it's cute when you ramble about stuff. And… Well…" Yami trailed off as Yugi looked up at his friend. Were they friends?

"I just want to say, thank you for saving my life…" Yugi pointed out as he walked up to Yami, and did a quick hug thingy with him and turned around, hiding his blush.

"Yugi…"

"I've got to go! I'm sorry!" Yugi ran away as Yami reached for him but Yugi was far away from him. Yami sighed and looked back at the sunset.

"Why do I mess up at everything…" Yami murmured to himself as he sat down on the boardwalk, sighing.


Well, there ya go everyone! If you have any ideas how to make Seto's trenchcoat under thirty or so bucks, that would be great! My idea was to go as him for Halloween, and later on go as him for cosplaying! :)
