Chapter 10: Laments and Confessions"
While Yugi was still recovering, the gang decided to start moving. They only had a month to save the queen. It was no wonder why the gang was in such a hurry. They all trained when they had spare time, barely stopping as the trip out of the millennium ruins took 4 days.
Finally, the traveling group was out of the ruins, only taking them 3 days from almost non stop trekking out of the golden scattered remains. All of them heaved a sigh of relief and started their journey to thevine and flower arch. They passed underneath it, and felt something course inside their bodies, like a wave trying to seek out the breeze. The barrier seemed to prod and inspect them before deciding to lift up their defenses, seeing as they were no threat to the forest life. To this, the group let out a relieved breath. They camped out and decided to stay there for a day or two.
"Yami-kun where are you?" Yugi called out to her friend, scratching her head as she could not find her best friend or where he went to. The amethyst eyed teen had woken up earlier this morning, surprising the gang (except Kitsune, Midnight , and daresay Kaiba.), making them all envelope her in a tight and suffocating hug. Nevertheless, her whole morning was deemed with praises and worry related comments as she was stuck with the others, her form, stricken with shame and embarrassment.
"Yami-kun!" she called out again, hoping to catch the attention of Yami. Usually he would show up whenever he was called, but today. . the blood-violet eyed male did not pop out like usual, so Yugi deemed it strange and dare I say full of suspicion? The tri haired female let out a sigh of weariness, as she did not where the young man was. She had asked the others but they said that Yami left early this morning, saying that he would be gone for ra knows how long! The female was slightly down hearted to say the least, since she could not see her friend. .
But then. .
A thought struck her, almost slapping her on the face, as she turned cherry red. She had been thinking of Yami almost everyday as of late, and that was not all! Whenever the young man would get close to her or hug her, Yugi could feel her stomach do flipflops and a nice apprehension blossom on her chest, her heart beating crazily not showing signs that it would slow down once the male walked or pulled away. Her ears however, snapped her out of her musing as the violet eyed girl picked up a sound. Was that. . . a voice? Was it singing?
Curious on what that sound was, she slowly followed the noise, intending to memorize on whose voice that was. It did not take a moment later that she arrived on the one singing and it made her breath hitch. It was the person she had just been thinking about, and. . not to brag or anything, Yami's voice sounded soothing and beautiful. . was that sadness she detected on his voice?
'Oh please don't be sad, Yami-kun. .sadness does not suit you.' Yugi thought as she listened to the melody, that was somewhat melancholic and very much had a deep meaning ebbed on it.
Yami let out a sigh and shook his head, as he stopped on singing. That note was not right and it sounded offish. His dark fox ears perked up, trying to pick up if someone was spying on him, and Yugi did her best on hiding her scent and presence. Finally satisfied and assuming that no one was listening, the male opened his mouth and closed his eyes, his tails whipping up and down, dancing around him, as he compelled on singing. Finally hitting the right notes needed;
Hello, Hello
Anybody out there?
Cause I don't hear a sound.
Alone, Alone
I don't even know where the world is
But I miss it now.
Yugi's mouth twitched downwards, forming into a frown. 'Oh Yami-kun, why do you say that?" she mused silently, watching as he swayed from side to side, singing his heart out.
I'm out on the edge and I'm screaming my name
Like a fool at the top of my lungs.
Sometimes when I close my eyes
I pretend i'm alright but its never enough.
Cause my echo, echo
Is the only voice coming back.
Shadow, Shadow
Is the only friend that I have
Yami could feel the tears prick at the back of his eyelids, and he did not try to stop it. Instead, he let it fall, as he sang more. Letting himself be lost in the music, as he seemed to spun around. Yugi herself could feel the stinging burn behind her eyes but stubbornly pushed it down and watched as Yami gracefully and passionately let his body take over. It was mesmerizing to the eyes and Yugi found out that she could not even dare take her eyes off the shadow fox.
Listen, Listen
I would take a whisper if
That's all you had to give
But it isn't, isn't
You could come and save me
And try to chase it crazy right out of my head
I'm out on the edge and i'm screaming my name
Like a fool at the top of my lungs
Sometimes when I close my eyes
I pretend i'm alright but its never enough.
Cause my echo, echo
Is the only voice coming back.
Shadow, shadow
Is the only friend that I have.
The male sobbed but quickly forced it down his throat as he continued to sing, shaking his head stubbornly, determined to finish his song. His voice took into a powerful stance.
I don't wanna be an island
I just wanna feel alive and
Get to see your face again
I don't wanna be an island
I just wanna feel alive and
Get to see your face again.
But 'til then
Just my echo, my shadow
You're my only friend and I'm
He took a deep breath and released everything he had to give to his voice and Yugi finally let the tears fall down to her cheeks and into the ground.
I'm out on the edge and i'm screaming my name
Like a fool at the top of my lungs
Sometimes when I close my eyes
I pretend i'm alright
But its never enough
Cause my echo, echo
Oh my shadow, shadow
Hello, hello anybody out there?
He finished his song, and crumpled down the ground, staring at the sky. "Why do you not notice?" he whispered to no one in particular, and then Yugi surprised herself. . by singing her own song.
All I needs a little love in my life
All I needs a little love in the dark!
Yami whipped his head to stare at Yugi in shock, he hastily stood up and kept his gaze on the petite female, as Yugi sang. The female managed a watery smile.
A little but i'm hoping it might kick start,
Me and my broken heart!
I need a little loving tonight
Hold me so i'm not falling apart!
A little but i'm hoping it might kick start!
Me and my broken heart!
Yami quickly caught on and he let out a small smile grace his features, as he finally got into step with Yugi, and started circling around her, hovering mere inches from the ground. Yugi smile softened and she started to sway her hips, softly dancing as Yami sang.
Shotgun, aimed at my heart
You got one!
Tear me apart in this song,
How do we call this love?
Woah oh oh!
Yami smiled fondly at the woman and continued;
I try to run away
But your eyes
Tell me to stay
Oh why, why do we call this love?
Woah oh oh!
It seems like we've been losing control!
Somebody tell me i'm not alone
When I say
All I needs a little love in my life!
All I needs a little love in the dark
A little but i'm hoping it might kick start!
Me and my broken heart!
The two started hovering above ground, dancing around the others, like a bird, courting their mate. Their hands wove together, as both Yugi and Yami's body twisted and turned in midair, their tails and wings flailing wildly, keeping them afloat.
I need a little loving tonight!
Hold me so i'm not falling apart!
A little but i'm hoping it might kick start!
Me and my broken heart!
Yami took the lead and grasped the amethyst eyed girl's hand, making Yugi smile with a whole heart. The male let his voice flow out with affection as they danced again, their movements untamed and free.
Maybe, some part of you just hates me
You pick me up and play me
How do we call this love?
Yugi took the spotlight and sang, twirling as Yami spun her around.
Woah oh oh!
One time,
Tell me you need me tonight!
To make it easy you lie and say its all for love!
Woah oh oh!
It seems like we've been losing control!
Somebody tell me i'm not alone
When I say!
All I needs a little love in my life!
All I needs a little love in the dark
A little but i'm hoping it might kick start!
Me and my broken heart!
I need a little loving tonight,Hold me so i'm not falling apart!
A little but i'm hoping it might kick start!
Me and my broken heart!
Woah woah!
Me and my broken heart
Woah woah!
Me and my broken heart
Woah woah!
Me and my broken. .
Yeah yeah
Me and my broken. .
The two soulmates were stuck by the background noises they made, as they circled and their arms intertwined, dancing whole heartily to their hearts content, and finally they sang.
Its just me!
Its just me!
Its just me!
Me and my broken Heart!
All I needs a little love in my life!
All I needs a little love in the dark!
A little but i'm hoping it might kick start!
Me and my broken heart!
I need a little loving tonight
Hold me so i'm not falling apart!
A little but i'm hoping it might kick start!
Me and my broken heart!
The mesmerizing dance the two did was ended, Yugi being dipped by the lithe male, as she grasped unto Yami's shoulder, her other hand on his waist.
A lazy smile spread upon the blood-violet eyed teens expression, as he descended down to Yugi's level. He was much too tempted to kiss the female right then and there, but instead he landed his lips on her cheek, almost close to her lips. The two slowly floated back down, and the wind died down haughtily. Yugi felt happy and dazed, a silly grin on her face, before everything registered on her mind and she stared at Yami, with a blush on her cheek. "Why did you do that?" she asked breathlessly. Yami was dazed as well but he snapped out of it when he heard the question
He was silent for a while before he sighed and gave up on denying his feelings. It was now or never he guessed. "Because Yugi," he paused and took a deep breath, letting the word roll of his tongue and Yugi's world shattered.
"I love you"
~Bloopers~"Oh finally!" someone whisper yelled and the others shushed them immediately, staring at the cute scene infront of them."Just shut up and watch!" one hissed and the other glared.Oh yeah, definitely going to kill that blonde.
