Wee Cookie: Sorry I haven't written in a wee while people, as always I've been busy. And it don't help not having any ideas right now.
"What's wrong Yami?" I asked as he continued to watch me from where he was standing before me, Bakura was sitting beside Ryou talking to him about subjects unknown to me. I wasn't paying attention to them that much more or less Yami's initial reaction to the song or my voice while I sang. 'Would he get the hidden meaning with those lyrics and who they are or were aimed at?' I thought to myself as he looked away from me.
"Yami" He looked back to me, tears in his eyes. He stepped closer to me as he wrapped his arms around me.
"Yugi why would I be like that, it is you who was right?" He whispered in my ear, I looked up to him and smiled. Leaning closer to me Yami placed his lips on mine just as the door began to open. Pulling away from the embrace we were met with the gang standing in the door way. Shocked expressions on some, anger on the others. Following the initial feeling I stepped in front of Yami, like I was trying to defend him.
Tea, Malik and Seto stood there looking at Yami, while Joey looked to and from me. Concern lingered in his eyes as he knew exactly what was going to happen. They were bound to say something about Yami being here along with the fact they saw us kiss.
"Yugi... What's going on? Why are you here?" Malik asked, pointing to Yami, his eyes widened at Yami's appearance, and the fact Yami had his arms around me.
"I thought you left!" Seto asked, I guess he was confused as to why he was back and me and Yami now being an item. Yami tightened his grip on my hand as Tea began to speak.
"Yugi... Yami what's going on here? Yugi I thought you hated Yami after what happened between you two and I thought you left?" She spoke in a harsh tone as she looked us up and down, eyes widening as she caught sign of our enlaced fingers. "Oh no... No you two can't be serious. Your back together after everything that happened between you two... how could you Yugi?"
Before anyone else could speak I raised my voice as I spoke, "Look, Yami's back for good alright? I love him and I never stopped loving him. He always felt the same for me; he only left because of Joey. Yami didn't want to make things worse by staying back then, he's changed guys please just stop."
They looked from one another then to mea and Yami. Joey stepped forward letting go of Seto's hand he began to speak, "Look guys, Yug's right, forget the past we shouldn't dwell in it, the only thing that matters is that Yami's back and he's changed. He promised he wouldn't hurt Yugi again and I believe him, even if what happened between them two was bang out of order."
I smiled as Joey looked to us, Seto probably didn't care, and he knew the real truth behind every thing. That it was mainly Bakura's fault or should I say misunderstanding? We couldn't fall out now, not with the show only 3 days away.
"Considering we are all here should we have some practice at our track list for the show and maybe run through some of the titles?" Malik asked as he walked over to his bass guitar sitting in it case beside his computer. The hard expression on Tea face subsided as she smiled at the pair of us.
"Sorry Yugi, sorry Yami. Honest I didn't see it that way..."
"It's alright Tea, well are you up to some practice?"
"Sure why not?" walking over to the table in the centre of the room, I picked up a pen ready to write out the track list for the gig.
"What you guys fancy playing then?" Joey looked up slightly as he pondered through his thoughts.
"Umm how about 'The way I was'?"
"Sounds like and idea, what about you Ryou?" I asked as I wrote down the song.
"'Live this down'" I nodded as I wrote the song name down along with all the other songs the guys came up with, making the list around 10 songs maybe less. All songs we could play together as a band and knowing them inside out. The list consisted of:
Makeshift Romeo - The Way I Was
Papa Roach - Live This Down
dope - Best For Me
dope - Rebel Yell
30 Seconds to Mars - R-Evolve
30 Seconds to Mars - Savior
The Blackout - Save Our Self's
Hollywood Undead - City
Hollywood Undead - Black Dahlia
"Guys you fancy trying Black Dahlia, we've never played it before?" They looked up from their separate sheet music to me.
"Aye come on guys." Joey was the first one in the recording room. Climbing to our feet we followed him taking our places. Joey with his second favourite drum set and a microphone, Ryou with his 'flying V' guitar, Malik and his bass guitar and Tea with her keyboard and a microphone beside her. I stood there just waiting for my queue.
Joey started the song with the first verse in rap like how 'Hollywood Undead' sings it, knowing I only had a few lines left before I started the chorus.
I loved you,
You made me,
Hate me.
You gave me,
Hate see?
It saved me,
And these tears are deadly.
You feel that?
I rep that,
Ever time you tried to seal that.
You feel bad?
You feel sad?
I'm sorry, hell no fuck that!
It was my heart,
It was my life,
It was my start,
It was your knife.
This strife it dies,
This life and these lies.
And these lungs have sung,
This song for too long.
And it's true I hurt too,
Remember I loved you!
Knowing Yami would probably take the chorus wrong I closed my eyes and began to sing; silently knowing it was now or never.
And I've, lost it all,
Fell today,
It's all the same.
I'm sorry, oh.
I'm sorry no, no.
And I've, been abused,
I feel so used,
Because of you.
I'm sorry, oh.
I'm sorry, no.
No.
I stopped to let Joey carry on with his verse knowing I would have my part in this one. Two simple words I get to say along with Joey.I wish I could I could have quit you.
I wish I never missed you,
And told you that I loved you,
Every time I fucked you.
The future that we both drew,
And all the shit we've been through.
Obsessed with the thought of you,
The pain just grew and grew!
How could you do this to me?
Look at what I made for you.
It never was enough and the world is what I gave to you.
I used to be love struck,
Now I'm just fucked up.
Pull up my sleeve and,
See the pattern of my cuts!
(Words in bold are the two words Yugi says with Joey)
And I've, lost it all,
Fell today,
It's all the same.
I'm sorry, oh.
I'm sorry no, no.
And I've, been abused,
I feel so used,
Because of you.
I'm sorry, oh.
I'm sorry no.
No.
Seems like all we had,
Is over now, you left to rest.
And your tears are dried up now,
You just lay without a sound.
Seems like all we had,
Is over now, you left to rest.
And my fears are over now,
I can leave with my head down.
And I've, lost it all,
Fell today,
It's all the same.
I'm sorry, oh.
I'm sorry no, no.
And I've, been abused,
I feel so used,
Because of you.
I'm sorry, oh.
I'm sorry no.
No.
Finishing the last of my part I opened my eyes seeing Yami still staring at Bakura while he spoke to Seto, probably about his time away. His past I forced out of him while he was weak. Stepping out of the recording room, the guys and I had a quick listen to the recorded track as we made the odd comment on the song. Apart from that everyone seemed content with my actions and mine alone.
"What time is it Yugi?" I looked to my phone since I didn't wear watches very often.
"It's around 6 Joey, why what's up?"
"Gotta go then, I will see you guys tomorrow. See ya." With that Joey went leaving us behind, he sometimes did have to be in early. But it wasn't that which got me, Seto left with him too.
"Don't know about you guys but I'm going to get something to eat, coming?" Malik asked as he headed for the door. Ryou, Bakura and Tea followed him. I waved as they left leaving me and Yami to do what ever we wanted.
"Come on, we will head back." Yami nodded and followed me, locking the door and heading home was quite fast compared to usual, just arriving at the apartment I owned in what seemed like only a few minutes was good enough for me. It meant I had more time to spend with Yami before the next day of torture, not being with him as much when I had to practice with the guys.
I'm not complaining that I hate practicing with them, which I don't its great being able to express my feelings through lyrics I sing. When I sing I go into another world, one where it's just me with the person I'm singing to standing before me. Each time I sing it's always Yami standing there in front of me, staring at me as I sing the words of feeling aloud.
