I'm sad… my dad is a cop, so he's really protective of me. My classes are going to a camp where you get to stay over night and I can't go because he says it's going to be too dangerous and cold! I don't care if I get a little cold or if I get a few scratches and bruises! Me and my friend Luke are the only ones that aren't going. He's not going because he didn't have the money… so I'm going to be updating everyday again until Friday. Please enjoy!
Yusei walked into the garage and sighed. Crow looked up and saw the bummed expression on his face. Not wanting to ask, he just slid down in the couch again, flipping through channels. Yusei headed up to his room and closed the door. He tossed his jacket on the floor and took his undershirt off, tossing that to the ground too. The dark haired Signer went into his bathroom and splashed cold water on his face, trying to get the feeling of Aki's lips off his own lips. The water wasn't helping; nothing was.
He looked in the mirror, half-expecting to find his Yami standing there with his evil smile again… but he wasn't there this time. Yusei growled and slammed his fists into the marble countertop, his black bangs covering his eyes. He sunk down to the floor and leaned up against the wall of his bathroom. Small droplets of water brimmed the edge of his eyes, threatening to fall over. He wiped them away, thinking to himself that he shouldn't let something as small as this get to him; he had the WRGP to worry about anyway. But he couldn't help it. He's never been one to let his emotions to get in the way of his work or let feelings show on his face, but this time… it was different.
The teen blamed Yami… it was all his fault for telling Aki about Yamis in the first place. If he would have just kept his big mouth shut and made sure his eyes weren't red, then none of this would have happened. Why did he even need a Yami to begin with? Why did he have to come out of his Stardust Dragon card at all and ruin his life? It usually wasn't that bad having him around and stuff, but this just was too much. First, he steals Yusei's time with Aki at her party and now this? What could be worse?
"I'm sorry, what more can I say?" Yami Yusei said, appearing next to his partner. "I screwed up… badly… and if you can't forgive me, I can always go back to your card. I don't want to, but if that'll make you happy, then I'm fine with it." Yusei stayed silent and looked at the ground, his face expressionless. The spirit sighed and stepped through the walls of his room, leaving Yusei alone again.
The next morning, Jack walked downstairs and saw Crow and Bruno sitting in the living room. He looked around the whole ground floor, looking for Yusei, but found no one. "Do you guys know where Yusei is? Did he even come home last night from his date with Aki?" He asked.
Crow nodded. "He seemed really bummed out, so I don't think the date went well. I don't know where he is now, but he didn't come down for breakfast," He answered.
"Are you telling me… that I missed breakfast?" Jack shouted. Bruno sighed and face palmed. Crow only laughed. "Anyway, do you think he's still asleep or something? Should I go check on him?" They both nodded.
"Oh yeah, how did your date go, Jack," Bruno questioned. Jack blushed and chuckled.
"G-good I guess. If you call Carly falling in a lake because she lost her balance good, then it went great! I'm going to go check on Yusei now!" He called as he ran up the steps as Crow laughed downstairs. Jack knocked on Yusei's door and waited for a reply… he got nothing. He sighed and opened the door. Yusei wasn't in his bed, so where was he? He walked over to the closet and opened the door, finding nothing. He looked into the bathroom and saw Yusei sitting on the tile floor, his head hanging down and hands resting on his knees. "Yusei?"
Yusei stayed silent and looked down to the floor. "Oh man, your date didn't go well, did it?" Jack guessed. His friends eyes closed and he bit his bottom lip. "Come on, why don't you go downstairs for breakfast? You can't starve yourself just because your crush crushed you."
"You're not helping, man," Yusei said quietly. Jack cursed under his breath.
"You're forcing my hand here Yusei. You are coming downstairs whether you like it or not!" The tall Signer declared, grabbing his friends arm and dragging him out of the bathroom. Yusei snapped back into reality and raised an eyebrow.
"What are you doing?" He asked. Jack didn't answer and tossed Yusei down the steps. He rolled down and landed on his head against the wall. "Ow! So that's what you were doing?"
"Pull it together! You aren't going to be depressed just because Aki turned you down! Don't make me punch you in the gut like I did when you were sad about Kiryu being dead! You look like a little puppy that was left alone to die, just like I said last time!"
"Because I was, Jack! She left me alone on the beach!" Yusei countered, still upside-down. "I kissed her then she ran away crying, and I… have no idea why." He knew he was lying, but he couldn't let other people know about Yamis, not yet anyway. After seeing how Aki reacted, he didn't plan to tell them any time soon.
"I don't care! You are going to eat and you are going to live life like you had never gone out with her in the first place!" Yusei rolled onto his back and stared at the ceiling, not saying anything. Jack narrowed his eyes at the Signer on the ground. "Forget you. If you don't want help, then I'm not going to help you!"
"Fine by me… I wanted to be alone today anyways," Yusei muttered to himself. Crow and Bruno looked at each other then back at Yusei. Jack walked back upstairs and slammed his door. "Well someone is in a bad mood today."
"Actually Yusei… I think he has a right to be mad at you," Crow pointed out. Yusei looked at him with anger-filled eyes, but that didn't stop Crow from speaking. "You've been out on your own too much lately. Have you forgotten… that we're all still a team? This isn't Team Yusei, its Team 5d's. You're not the only member of this team, so stop acting on your own and wanting to be along all the time!"
"Crow…" Bruno whispered.
"I have the right to want to be by myself when I want to Crow!" Yusei yelled. "Don't you ever wish to just shut everything out… even if it's just for an hour or two? To have some quiet and not have to worry about the freaking WRGP around every corner? You're not the one doing all the math and science around here, me and Bruno are, so what do you have to complain about besides work?"
The room was silent before Yusei got up and went back to him room. Crow and Bruno glanced at each other and sank back into couch and chairs in the living room. "I don't think we should bother Jack and Yusei for a while," Bruno suggested.
"Agreed."
Yusei lay on his bed, staring at the white ceiling. Yami Yusei stood over him and Yusei turned over on his side. "Have you made up your mind if you want me to stay or not?" He asked. Yusei sighed.
"Do whatever you want, I don't really give a damn right now… I'm too tired and frustrated. Just don't bother me right now; can you do that for me?" Yusei whispered. Yami Yusei nodded.
"Whatever you like… Sir," He said before he disappeared into the blackness of the room.
This was basically just a filler chapter to tell you guys that Yusei is letting Yami stay with his soul and body… which is a good thing since Yami Yusei is the plot to this story. Lol. Anyway, tell me if anyone was too OOC or if you liked the chapter or not! Oh, and for all of you that reviewed last time, I love you forever! (Gives you a hug.) ^_^
Reviews + Being Nice = Happy Chibi Duelist. Thanks.
