Hey, everyone! I'm EXTREMELY sorry that I haven't written anything in a while. I had horrible writer's block with this story and I kind of lost the inspiration to write. But, after arguing with my boyfriend why Yu-Gi-Oh is awesome, I wanted to write again. So, guess who's back? :)
Chapter 7: Two Wrongs Don't Make a Right, but It Sure Does Make Me Feel Better
The next morning I sat down at the kitchen table, enjoying a bowl of cereal and watching the news. After my discovery the night before I crashed on the couch in the living room and it was actual pretty refreshing. I left my room exactly the way I had found it and for one simple reason: Cleaning Day.
Once every two weeks, Grandpa likes to go into our rooms and tidy up a little. I know what you're thinking and no I didn't leave my room in disorder so Grandpa would clean it. I left it because I wanted to show him what Yami was doing. I even left him a note, explaining my side of the story. So, yeah, I'm kind of excited about what's going to go down after school.
I finished up my breakfast and was about to leave when I heard a soft creak of the stairs. On instinct I dove under the table and peeked from under the green tablecloth. A few seconds later I watched Yami's shoes as he walked into the kitchen.
Shit, how am I supposed to get out of this one? I thought as panic rose in me. Okay, okay, calm down Yuugi. All you have to do in sneak out like a ninja and he won't even notice.
I proceeded with my plan and slid out from under the table. Luck was on my side because Yami had his back to me and was completely oblivious to my presence. I crept out of the kitchen and into the living room. Once I was out of earshot, I breathed a sigh of relief. Now all I have to do it get to the front door and then I'll be home free.
It was at that moment that I realized that I had left my bag in the kitchen. Fuck, I thought angrily and I turned back towards the kitchen.
I walked back into the kitchen and tried to perfect my skills as a ninja. Unfortunately he heard me that time. Yami turned to me and gave me the biggest smile in the world. I hated him at the moment and yet loved him all the same.
"Good morning, aibou."
"Hey," I replied as I grabbed my bag and headed towards the front door.
"Hey, aibou?"
I stopped and turned back to Yami. He had the saddest look in the world and I almost gave in to his begging stare. But I fought on. "What?"
"Do you want to walk with me to school?" He asked.
My jaw dropped, literally, and not even because he asked me to walk with him. I was surprised that he even had the fucking nerve to ask me that after what he and his demon bitch of a girlfriend did to my room.
Remember when I said that payback was going to a bitch? Well, here comes the beginning of it. I laughed out loud, surprising both Yami and myself. "Ha ha, fuck that," was all I said in return and I left.
I instantly began to regret what I had said. I stopped outside of the Game Shop and was almost tempted to go back inside and apologize. But I didn't because you don't surrender once you declare war.
The day passed like it normally did after that, or at least until lunchtime. I was sitting on the roof with my little cluster of Anzu haters when the bitch herself appeared. She tapped on my shoulder and beckoned me to follow. Anzu led me from the roof and took me to and empty classroom. Once I was inside she closed the door and turned to me.
"What did you do to Yami?"
I really was in a bad mood because I retaliated. "The better question is what the hell did you guys do in my bedroom? Well, I probably already know…"
"Look, it was my idea, okay?" Anzu seethed and for once I wasn't intimidated. "Yami didn't want to do it in there but I convinced him to."
"Did you also convince him to trash my room while he was banging you?"
Anzu gasped and I could see that I struck a nerve. "Yuugi! What happened to you? You weren't like this before Yami and I got together. Are… are you jealous?"
"And maybe I am!" I shouted. "Maybe I am jealous because I have always loved Yami and he never noticed! Or maybe I'm just pissed that you guys had sex in my room! On my bed! And you destroyed the place afterwards!"
"You're not the only one who loves Yami!" Anzu yelled back.
"No! I love Yami more than you ever will! I had a bond with him that I've never had with anyone before! And then you came along and that bond was broken!"
"Don't you think that maybe you're the one who broke that bond, not me?"
She almost had me on that one but I pushed the comment aside. A crowded had begun to gather outside of the classroom and I hoped they couldn't hear what we were saying. Well, impossible dreams are the best kind, as they say.
"No, I just couldn't stand seeing him with someone like you! And do you think that I wasn't hurt? I was and it hurt so badly! So don't come to me asking what I had done to Yami. Maybe you should ask yourself what you two have been doing to me for the past six months!" And with that, I left Anzu and made my way to my friends.
I tried to seem normal after the fight but I failed epically. Everyone could see that something had happened and they were concerned, even Kaiba. I didn't feel like telling them though so I did everything in my power to avoid the subject.
When it was time for our last class I was beyond depressed. My eyes were downcast and a dragged my feet as I made my way to my seat. I sat down and took out my notebook and that took way more effort than I thought it would be.
Kaiba took a seat next to me and glanced at me out of the corner of his eye. Jou came up beside him and Kaiba shrugged. Ryou, Malik, and Honda all entered at the same time and they shot me worried glances. The bell rang just as they sat down and the teacher began his lecture, which I tuned out.
At one point, after I pulled myself out of my reverie, I looked to the front of the classroom and caught Yami staring at me again. I held his stare and I hoped he could see the hurt in my eyes. I wondered if he had heard anything and assumed that he probably did. News spread around my school like a pestilence.
I felt a connection stir inside of me but this time I didn't fight it. Sure enough, I heard Yami think, Yuugi?
Yeah? I thought back.
Yami smiled at me. I'm glad you didn't shut me out again, aibou.
I guess.
What happened between you and Anzu today?
We fought, that's all.
She was crying.
Funny, I was doing that six months ago.
He frowned at me and I returned the gesture. Yuugi, is there something you want to tell me?
Other than the fact that I love you unconditionally?
Wait, what?
I gasped and realized what I had done. He stared at me in disbelief and I felt myself begin to blush. My friends heard me gasp and they all stared at me questioningly.
Aibou, you what?
I instantly began to try to shut down our mind link again, but the damage had been done. I stared at Yami helplessly and watched his reaction. I honestly feared for the worst. But I watched as a smiled tugged at Yami's lips.
Yay, chapter 7 is done! I think this chapter was a little short but aren't they all? R&R everyone! :)
