This is the second chapter! Things will be picking up, so please enjoy! Also, I do not own Yugioh, or Transformers.

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

It had been three months since Yusei had moved in. School was now on summer vacation, and everybody was looking forward to sleeping in. Everybody but one.

"Brother! Big brother, big brother, big brother! Wake up! Why aren't you awake? Wake up!"

"Mmm. Yuma, I'm sleeping. Go bother Yusei." The sleepy brunette rolled over, shoving Yuma off the bed.

"I would, but he's not in his room."

"Then check the couch.

"You just don't want to play!" he pouted.

"That's right. I want to sleep."

Across the house, Yugi was also awake. He had gotten ready for the day and decided to let Yami sleep in, as it was his day off. He came downstairs to find Yusei asleep on the couch. "Yusei," he whispered, placing his hand on the boy's shoulder, making him jump.

"Mmm, good morning." He stretched and yawned, reaching the full length of the couch.

Yugi chuckled, getting coffee started. "Didn't last the whole movie night again?"

"Transformers marathon. Sue me."

Over the past few months, Yusei had calmed down a lot around his new family. He was still wary, and would occasionally lock himself in his room, but even he was surprised with how far he'd come. He was now even able to use a normal volume in conversation. The week following his adoption, Yusei had been introduced to almost everyone else considered to be family.

"Why don't you like the Transformers? I would have thought they'd be your favorite movies."

"It's because I'm good with machines that I don't like them. I mean, there is no way that a blender can rebuild itself into a weapon. Yeah, it could be used as one, but a phone, or a car?"

"I guess that would drive you crazy. Speaking of cars, I think my pickup will be getting a lot more use for a while."

"Oh?"

"Yeah. Yami's car is going to have to be sold soon. The mechanic says it's unfixable."

"Maybe I could have a look?"

"No. Don't waste your time. He's had the thing since high school. Joey, Tristan, and Anzu have actually started taking bets on when it'll die."

They heard a loud thump. "Jaden!"

Yugi sighed. "Well, the calm was nice while it lasted, hmm?"

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Yugi sat on a stool behind the counter in the game store on the ground floor of their house. Jaden and Yuma were in the store room, doing inventory, while Yusei was being shown how to work at the front counter.

"I just got my grandfather to retire about four years ago, and I have been running this place ever since. "

"I never knew this was here."

"I'm not surprised. Orphanages don't really allow very much freedom." Yugi seemed to catch himself, and before Yusei could think any more on it, Yami appeared at the bottom of the staircase leading up to their house.

"Yugi, Grandpa's on the phone. He says he needs to talk to you."

"Well, speak of the devil. When did he get back?"

"He says he's still in Egypt, but it's important that he talks to you."

Yugi nodded. "Yusei, man the counter for me, ok?" he received a nod and headed up to the house.

"Grandpa's as Egyptologist. We managed to get him to retire from running the shop, but, unfortunately, that just left more time for his travels. You'll probably be meeting him soon."

"Does he know about me?"

"Not yet. He has no cell service out on digs, and the satellite phone is only for emergencies."

"Excuse me, do you sell starter packs?" a little girl asked, peeping over the counter.

"Um, that corner. Over there." Yusei directed her.

"Thanks," she replied, wandering towards where he'd directed.

"Anyway, he's a really great guy. You'll love him."

Yusei absently completed the girl's purchase and turned his attention back to Yami. "Do you think he'll like me?"

"Of course." Yami smiled reassuringly.

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

That night at the dinner table, Yugi had an announcement. "As all of you know, Grandpa called today. No, he's not back. He is still in Egypt, but tomorrow, Yami, Yuma, and I will be flying over there. Jaden and Yusei, you will stay here."

"Why do we have to stay behind?"

"Because someone has to run the shop, and we can't afford to spontaneously fly five people halfway around the world. The only reason Yuma's coming is because he's too young to stay behind."

Yuma piped up at that. "Why do we have to go?"

"Because Grandpa says it's important that Yami and I are there. For what, he refuses to say." Yugi finished, and then turned to Yusei. "Do you have any questions?"

"How long will you be gone?"

"One week."

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

"Are you sure it's a good idea to leave Jaden and Yusei home alone for a whole week?" Yami asked Yugi, who was currently folding and packing light T-shirts for himself and Yuma.

"Grandpa said we both need to be there, and Joey, Seto, and Anzu are all just a phone call away. They're fifteen and sixteen. They don't need to be babysat."

Yami sighed. "You're right. I know you are, but I just can't help but worry."

"About Yusei, you mean?" Yugi paused, looking up.

"Yeah. But it's not just that. I've got a funny feeling you know? Like somethings about to happen."

"You and your feelings." Yugi shook his head.

"Have they ever been wrong before?"

Yugi lost himself in his thoughts for a moment, and then lowered his head. "No." he said, closing his eyes. "No, they haven't."

Yami clenched his jaw, silently berating himself. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring that up."

"No, it's alright. That part of my life is done." He was going to say something else, but at that moment, Yuma bolted in with a sleeping bag.

"I'm all ready to go! C'mon!"

"Yuma!"

Yami left the room, smirking at the boy's antics. Then he frowned. Yugi had always teased him about his sixth sense. But he knew that the laughter was false. Only show. If Yami thought he was fine, he wouldn't worry. 'Of course I worry.' Yami thought, 'I was the one who found him.' He'd gotten a bad feeling when they were both still teens; it had lad him to saving Yugi's life. 'I just hope I'm worrying about nothing this time.'

"Are you okay?" Yusei's timid voice brought him out of his thoughts.

"Hmm?"

"You were scowling."

"Sorry. I was just thinking."

"Oh . . . okay."

"Are you sure you boys can handle yourselves here for a whole week? I can get Joey to stay over."

Yusei looked uncertain for a moment, and then shook his head slightly. "If it's my choice, then I'd like to stay here with Jaden."

"Alright. You have the number where we'll be. And you also have Seto, Joey, and Anzu nearby if anything happens. Not to mention that Ryou and Bakura will be getting back from vacation in about six days."

"I know. Stay safe."

Yami chuckled slightly. "Thank you. I plan to. Take care of yourself and your brother."

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Yami, Yugi, and Yuma had left not ten minutes ago, and Jaden was already regretting their decision to leave the two boys alone together. "Yusei," he moaned. "Normal teens would be watching TV and eating junk food right now."

"I'm not hungry." Came the reply.

". . . Video games?"

"We have single player."

"Can we listen to the radio? I'll let you pick."

"I'm going to be down in the garage."

"I'll move the radio down ther- . . . wait. Why are you going to be in the garage?"

This was what Yusei had been hoping to avoid. "I think I may be able to fix Yami's car."

"Whoa, really? But the mechanic said it was dead."

"Yami never got a second opinion. And I have a friend who used that guy once. He said the guys a rookie. Talks technical so customers believe him, knows the basics too, but for real problems, he has no idea what he's doing."

Jaden was wide eyed at what Yusei was insinuating. "You think Yami's getting scammed?"

"I'm going to find out."

"Can I help?"

Yusei looked uncomfortable. Machines were his meditation. Something that could seclude him away from the rest of the world. "Um, all I really need would be for you to not tell anyone what I'm doing."

Jaden smirked. "Don't worry about it. My lips are sealed. I just want to see if you can really get the old thing back up and running."

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Things are going to pick up here, and we will be able to see a bit more of Yugi's past. Will he be able to connect to Yusei on a level nobody else has before? Thanks for reading, and please review!
