Hey everyone!
Ri-chan is back with a new chapter!
Though I did promise the chapter with the Burger World thing, I kinda want to do my new chapter on episode four of season zero, it involves this creepy watch guy and it's got one of my favorite penalty games in it. And since I can't use my laptop, which has the actually start for chapter seven on it, I'll do this one instead!
I own nothing at all so don't say that I do, just the plot which is a parody of the real plot from Yu-Gi-Oh.
Yami is still going to talk in italics in this story because it's cool.
Warning: This Yami no Games isn't all the bad, it's actually the penalty game that might make you cringe because it's a little wrong. XD
BTW, the watch collector is named Shoutarou so don't get confused. And I'm kinda sorry that this chapter doesn't have that much Yugi/ Yami time in it, its mostly a Honda/ Miho thing at parts, which is really sweet because those two make such a cute couple.
Oh, and Yugi is going to start calling Yami Mou Hitori no Boku because he feels like Yami is like another half of him now that they share his body. Plus I think it's CUTE when he does it!
On with the fic!
Imagination's Reality
Chapter Seven: Stolen Watch
"I'm off!" Yugi called to his grandfather as he headed for the door, a piece of toast in his mouth.
"Hey Yugi!" Grandpa called, making the boy stop and turn.
"What, Grandpa?"
"What do you mean 'What, Grandpa'?!" The older man asked as hew walked into the room. "If you're going out, finish eating first. It's bad for the digestive system."
Yugi pouted, which was odd since he still had the toast in his mouth. "But if I'm late, it'll inconvenience everyone. Later." Yugi replied as he walked out the door and headed toward the location that everyone would be meeting at.
Once Yugi was in the downtown area, he heard Yami yawn in his head. –Huh? Are you tired Mou Hitori no Boku? - Yugi asked, using his new nickname from Yami.
Yami blinked and rubbed his eyes, though Yugi couldn't see that since Yami was living in his body. -/ What…? Oh, yeah, just a little. I kinda slept in this morning; normally I'm awake when you are. /-
Yugi let out a small laugh. –How are you tired? All you do is hang out in my head! - He laughed out loud, earning a few weird looks from the people that passed them by. Yami frowned at the laughing, sure he hung out in Yugi all the time, but when something troublesome came up Yami would take over and use his shadow energy, which at the moment would drain him.
As Yugi walked along the street, he noticed that it was very busy. "Must be Sunday, look how crowded it is." He blinked as he walked and noticed an alley that was full of people standing in line.
"What's going on?" Yugi asked the last person in line who responded by telling him the line was for the D-Shock Premium collection, a series of watches that were extremely rare and valuable and the line was for the limited sale that they were hosting at the shop that was located along one of the walls.
Yugi blinked again and looked at the line, and that's when he recognized someone. It was Honda standing in line! And for some reason he looked uncomfortable from where Yugi was standing. As Honda was squirming, he didn't notice that Yugi had walked up to him until the boy was right next to him.
"So you like this kind of thing too, Honda?" Yugi asked with a smile, feeling Yami as he peered through his eyes. "Seems kind of out of character…" Yugi added on.
"Well… I suppose…" Honda laughed nervously before leaning down to Yugi's level. "Yugi… I have a favor to ask…"
The smaller only blinked.
So now Yugi was standing in line to take Honda's place who ran off to pee though he was actually not standing in line to get he watch for himself but rather for Miho because he thought that him doing this for her would make her pay more attention to him. And Yami was laughing in Yugi's head at the sudden turn of events.
"Honda… he sure is late…" Yugi sighed, ignoring that laughing in his head.
After a few moments, Yugi was finally up at the counter and the man behind it was smiling as he handed the watch's box to the small boy. "You sure are lucky." He then called out at everyone else in line. "Everyone standing in line behind! I deeply apologize! This item, D-Shock Premium Collection, is all sold out!"
Yugi heard the other people complaining about this and felt a little upset that the others were not going to get what they wanted, but at least Miho got her watch. "So this is that last item? That sure was close!" He spoke as he handed the money to the cashier and retrieved the watch.
Yami was listening in on what had just happened and felt a slight chill run up his spine, but he ignored it for the time being. But just as Yugi reached out to take the watch, a hand stopped him. Next to him was a man with sunglasses, a do rag, and a few piercings, his hand was on the watch box. The chill came back to Yami. -/ Aibou… /-
"I will be taking that." The man said.
Yugi frowned as he looked up at him. "What are you saying? This D-Shock is…"
"You do not deserve this item."
Both Yami and Yugi blinked in response, but Yami glared deeply as he felt a bad vibe from the creepy man. Shoutarou pulled back his sleeves to reveal many watches lining his wrists and arm, stopping at his elbows. He explained that they were Swiss Color Watches Special Variation and that they were a collection when you had all the watches.
Shoutarou then explained that no one else in the world has ever collected all ten watches. "Do you see? That's why this D-Shock Premium collection only has meaning in the hands of a rare watch collector like myself! An amateur like you who doesn't understand the meaning or rare watches… should not possess it!"
"No…" Yugi spoke softly before the man grabbed him by his uniform collar and held him up, glaring at him from behind his glasses.
"Unforgivable… I will not forgive you…!"
Suddenly a hand reached out and gripped the man's shoulder, Shoutarou turned to see that Honda was standing behind him. "Who're you? You wanna get in my way?!"
"You may be a rare collector or whatever, but you gotta obey the rules." Honda replied, glaring back at him as Shoutarou let Yugi go.
"What?"
Yugi stared in shock as Honda and the taller man glared at one another, Yami watched in silence at them. But all this was stopped when they heard the cashier call the police, causing Shoutarou to run off.
"Sorry I'm late." Honda smiled at Yugi. "You okay, Yugi?"
Yugi let out a soft sigh before looking back at Honda with a smile on his own face, though Yami was still frowning, knowing that they would meet that man again.
"Hey! Isn't it great?" Miho smiled brightly as she looked at the new watch that she was now wearing, all thanks to Honda and Yugi.
Jou gasped as he looked on in surprise. "It's the first time I've seen a real one!"
"Honda, you really helped Miho by standing in Miho's place." The lilac-haired girl smiled as she turned to Honda who was blushing.
Anzu rolled her eyes. "Friends truly are worth having, right Miho?"
"Absolutely! I love you, Honda!" Miho smiled brightly once again and Jou took this as a opportunity to mess with his friend.
"She said she loves you, Honda! Aren't you glad you stood in line since early in the morning?" Jou smirked at Honda who was blushing again.
"Shut up! As a beautification member it's only the natural thing to do!" He then turned and waved his hand out. "Look at the world! People's hearts are dirtied… purifying those people's heart is the true beautification member's job! In other words, a beautification member must have a pure heart and the greatest kindness."
"Although that's kind of overdoing it." Yugi added in.
"How forceful." Anzu said.
"Hey, Miho, can you let me see that?" Jou asked, totally ignoring Honda.
Miho blinked. "This D-Shock?"
Honda turned to glare at the blond. "Hey, Jou! Are you listening to me?!"
"Just while we're here." Jou smiled, forgetting about Honda again. "I just want to do this once in my life."
"Okay! Just don't get it dirty!" Miho smiled as she began to take it off.
"Wait a moment!" Honda exclaimed.
"What is it Honda?! You're screaming in my ear!" Jou barked back.
"Rock-paper-scissors." Jou looked at him strangely. "The winner of rock-paper-scissors has the privilege of holding Miho's D-whatever."
The blond just glared at him. "It's D-Shock. You're no candidate if you don't even know the name." He spoke back; all the while the small group did not notice that someone was listening in on their conversation.
In the end it was Honda that won the small battle.
The group went into the arcade and played around for a little while, all though Honda seemed distracted by the watch and Yami was on guard, though he wouldn't tell Yugi what was wrong.
After a while Honda went to the bathroom to wash his hands, but when he came out it seemed that the D-Shock, which he had placed in his pocket when he went it, went missing, though he didn't know it.
"You're leaving already?" Anzu asked.
"Yeah, I have an early curfew." Miho replied just as Honda came back.
"Really? Then I'll return that…" As he went to get the watch from his pocket, he noticed that… it wasn't there!
"What is it?" Miho blinked.
"Hey, don't tell me… you lost it?" Jou looked at him funny.
"No… no way! That's can't be!" Honda freaked out, trying to figure out where the blasted watch went. As he was checking himself over for it, Yugi looked behind Honda and noticed that Shoutarou was near by, smirking at them and he felt Yami looking at the man too, a glare in his eyes.
"IT'S GONE!"
Yugi jolted and noticed that Honda had now taken his pants off as well as the rest of his clothing, leaving only the boxers on. "WHY?!" He screamed, causing the others to freak when he pulled back the waistband of his boxers. "Where did it disappear to?!"
Suddenly a hand came up and slapped him hard in the face. It was Miho who did it, and she was NOT happy. "Honda, you idiot, idiot, idiot!" She exclaimed, running off and away from the group, yelling about how much she hated poor Honda.
"M-Miho!"
And so, Honda ended up having to look all over the arcade for the watch. All he wanted to do was make Miho happy with him again and Jou, Anzu and Yugi, along with Yami, were doing their best to try and help him.
It looked like Honda wasn't gonna find the watch, but the brunet was not going to give up. He had to find that D-Shock! As Honda was on the floor on his hands and knees crying, someone stepped on his hand, making him cry out in pain.
The group looked up to see that it was Shoutarou who did it and he was smirking at them. "Oh! Sorry, I thought that was a wash cloth." He smirked in delight.
"You bastard…" Honda growled under his breath.
Jou went up the man and grabbed him by the collar of his hoodie. "What are you doing, punk?!"
"Stop it Jou." Honda sighed as he stood up. "If you have time to play with that idiot… then please help me search for the watch instead."
"What he said." Shoutarou smirked and pushed Jou away.
Yugi frowned deeply as he watched the creepy man walk away, knowing that HE had the watch. –No good Mou Hitori. I don't have any proof he took the watch. - He spoke into the mind link, but before he could get a reply, an alarm went off and he turned to see Honda had lifted up one of the slot games and was getting yelled at by security. Anzu and Jou ran off to help the poor man.
He was just that desperate to find that watch.
And now Yugi was sure of himself, he had to get the watch back from that man!
Running over to the stairway that Shoutarou went through, Yugi went down the down staircase as he saw the man going toward something down in the basement of the building. And that's when he saw it! The watch was in the man's hands!
Yugi was right!
After following Shoutarou to the air conditioning room in the basement, he tried to get the watch back, only to get himself hurt from Shoutarou hitting him.
"Give it back! Give it back!"
"This is mine!"
"But that…!"
SLAP!
"See what you get? This is mine!"
"It's not…"
"What? You mean it's mine!"
Shoutarou then punched Yugi again, knocking him down to the floor. "Just obtaining a mystical item is the greatest high!" He then kicked the smaller boy in the gut, earning a groan of pain from the poor boy.
-/ ABIOU! /-
As he walked away, the air became dark and heavy around Shoutarou just as Yugi stood up and opened his eyes to reveal crimson orbs filled with pure hatred and disgust, as well as a little mischief. Just as Shoutarou was about the open the door to leave the room, he noticed that the doors were locked and he heard a dark chuckle.
"It's Game Time."
He turned around and saw that the whole room looked like the inside of a clock! And that Yugi had changed into someone else, someone darker and stronger then the small boy, with a smirk and a playful look in his red-eyes.
"You!" He yelled, charging at him.
"Hey, that's dangerous." Yami spoke softly, just as a giant pendulum came swinging right in front of them.
"What the hell is this?"
"You're going to play a game with me."
"What?!" Shoutarou turned to look at Yami.
"However…" Yami began. "It'll be a Yami no Game." He then pointed to the D-Shock. "We will be wagering your stolen D-Shock."
"Don't fuck with me, bastard!"
Just then, out of the floor came a door and out that door came a mechanical bird. It reached out and took the watch before going back into the floor, in which the doors then closed.
"My… my D-Shock!" The man cried as he got down to the floor to try and open the door.
Yami looked at him, every time the man said the stolen watch was his made Yami was to kill him, but that was not his style. "But it's not really yours, is it?"
Letting out a soft sigh, Yami continued. "But if you win this came, I'll acknowledge that it's yours."
"Game you say?!" Shoutarou looked up at Yami.
"Well? Do you accept?" Yami smirked.
"I'll play any game you got!" Shoutarou stated as he stood up.
Yami only kept the smirk, liking that this man was getting so worked up and the game had yet to even start. "No need to be so angry." He then pointed to the door. "The rules are simple. At the start of the game, that same pigeon from before will appear. The D-Shock stop watch will activate. The one who stops it closest to ten seconds wins."
"What? That's it?"
"However, if you exceed ten seconds, the pendulum will pass by right next to the D-Shock. You know what'll happen if you're too slow, right?" Yami taunted, though that was really a part of this game. "Whether you do this or not, is up to you."
"Don't mock me! Of course I'm in!"
"Alright." Yami nodded. "So who'll start?"
"I will!" Shoutarou glared at Yami who only smirked.
"Understood, then… game start!"
The doors opened again and the metal bird popped out, only this time it had the watch in its beak, the timer on the watch began to count down. After a moment of waiting, Shoutarou reached out and hit the stop button just as the pendulum came down and swung past them.
The watch's time was 9 seconds and 35 milliseconds.
"How's that?!" The man said, laughing nervously.
"You're good. Now, my turn." Yami spoke in a simple tone as the bird went back in. Yami stood there, his eyes focused only on the doors.
"Start."
The bird came out again; the watch had been restarted at zero again. Shoutarou smirked, hoping that Yami would be nervous as well, but he gasped when he saw that the red-eyed boy had his eyes closed!
Just as the pendulum came down, Yami opened his eyes and reached out and touched the stop button, the pendulum just missing his hand.
The watch's time was 9 seconds and 95 milliseconds.
"9.95 seconds?!" Shoutarou exclaimed.
"Looks like I win." Yami spoke, still keeping the smirk he had earlier.
"No! This was just a test! The next one will be the real one!"
Yami raised an eyebrow but smirked again. "Test? I see, very well. Then…"
"Wait." The man stopped him. "This time I'm doing it from that side!" Yami only shrugged and walked to the other side as the taller passed by him.
"Start."
The watched started again and Shoutarou kept a smirk on his face. 'I figured out his winning strategy. One side is more favorable. This side allows your hand to escape at the last moment. I thought it'd be harder with the upside down numbers, but the switch is the most important thing.'
"Alright… now!"
He reached out to hit the button, but suddenly something felt off. The pendulum came down towards him and moved over his hand. Shoutarou screamed loudly and fell to his knees.
"Too bad." Yami spoke softly as he took the watch from the bird's mouth. "I suppose I'll be taking this back after all." But suddenly a hand reached out to stop him.
"Stop! There's no way I'm giving this up! Forget this game! The D-Shock is mine!"
Shoutarou looked up from the watch and up at Yami and froze in sheer terror at the site before him. The air around the smaller boy had turned heavy and dark with power, Yami's eyes were a deep crimson, almost black if you will, and a golden eye glowed on his forehead.
"How pathetic."
"You…"
"The Door of Darkness… has been opened."
"What?" Shoutarou then felt something odd with his injured hand. He looked at the wound and was surprised to see that instead of blood and muscles, he saw watch gears and springs! And they were moving as well!
"What is this?!" He exclaimed as he pulled back his sleeve and saw that the watches he wore were sinking into his flesh and were becoming a part of him! Yami smirked and walked away, holding Miho's D-Shock in his hand, hearing the man's cries of fear, pain, and mercy.
"YOU FOUND IT?!"
Honda looked at the watch that was now in his hand and was smiling brightly at the returned item. "It's true! Yes! It's found!"
"So it was under the stairs?" Jou asked as he looked at Yugi.
"Yeah!" Yugi smiled at his blond friend.
"Why would it be there?" Jou blinked, not sure how the hell the watch even got there in the first place.
"Also," Anzu turned to Yugi as well, "what happened to your face?" She indicated to the bruises that Yugi now had on his face from the fight with Shoutarou before everything went black on him.
"It's like to joke about this… but I don't remember what happened." Yugi smiled nervously. Honda was now crying in happiness, stating that he was thankful and that Miho was going to be happy with him again.
Yugi smiled at this, and noticed that Yami seemed satisfied with this as well, but he also seemed to be feeling happy, like he accomplished something that he wanted to get done with. Yugi didn't know what it was, but one day Yami would tell him what was going on and he would also figure out why he would blank out at times.
But that will be left for another day.
TBC
I really like this chapter because Honda and Miho make a cute couple and I helped establish that Yami is such an evil, little bastard who loves to screw his opponents over, plus his Yami no Games are so evil. And in the episode this is based off of, Shoutarou had his glasses fall off and his eyes are clock faces!
It's creepy!
Anyway, the next chapter is the Burger World chapter!
And, if you send me a lot of nice reviews, I'll even do a little Yami/ Yugi scene in the next chapter. (smiles)
Please review!
