Chapter 11: Near Kisses
Me: Hola! *ducks barely dodging flying vase*
Bakura: They're all a bit peeved don't you think Kitt? ^w^
Yugi: Yeap she's been AWOL for a bit, but that's not entirely her fault.
Me: Blame my mother, she refused to pay the internet bill until now.
Bakura: Still it seems a bit sad considering they have been waiting almost a month for this story to continue.
Me: I know... Since it was only my internet that has been gone I am pleased to say that I have been able a long chapter ^w^
Bakura: doesn't seem long... -_-'
Me: You know I can easily change this into a puzzleshipping fic... -_-
Bakura: I'll be good!
Me: see you guys at the bottom!
****since the break lines always seem to disappear this will have to do****
The duo entered the music cafe; International, upon entering Yugi began talking to one of the workers, a raven-haired teen, and wrote his name on a sign up sheet. The worker then seemed to smile at the song that that Yugi had chosen. Once all the musicians signed up the place was in motion.
"Okay, so International has a few musicians tonight, one of which is our favorite little guitarist slash singer... Yeah you know who I'm talking about! Everyone put your hands together for Yugi Moto!" the small crowd cheered as Yugi made his way onto the stage.
"Hey guys! It sure has been awhile, huh? So what song should I do this time?" Yugi said with much excitement and glee.
The crowd began shouting many songs and artists that seem to consist mainly of Taylor Swift and other female artists. Bakura decided to pitch in an artist and a song. He thought for a while and came up with a perfect song for Yugi. Smirking Bakura called out, "Believe by Blood on the Dance Floor!" The crowed seemed to quiet down at that suggestion and soon began agreeing with Bakura.
Shocked that Bakura decided to pitch in an idea, Yugi's grin grew and decided on the song. "Looks like my audience has come to an agreement. Believe, by BOTDF it is." With that decided, Yugi went back stage and picked up his favorite black acoustic guitar.
As Bakura sat down in the table in front of the stage, he felt a strange sense of some one looking at him. He turned, but saw no one even glancing. He frowned. 'That's weird.' He thought. He tuned back to the stage and saw Yugi Come back from the back holding a glossy black guitar. Yugi sat on a stool that was placed in front of the microphones (1). He began tuning the guitar. The audience seemed to hold its breath waiting for the young musician to begin singing.
"This is dedicated to all the people who have been left behind. Don't worry as a music family we'll all help you back up once you've fallen" Yugi said as he begun strumming the guitar.
Believe in me,
When you feel like your losing all your hope and dreams.
Believe in me,
When I am gone, you gotta keep a smile on.
Believe in me,
Good by my friends just celebrate the times we spent.
Believe in me,
We all die it's an awfully big adventure.
Believe in me, when I'm gone...
We All fall down.
We'll pick you up.
We all fall down
Well pick you up
Believe in me,
Just keep your faith and believe in all that you make.
Believe in me,
My love is not a gamble you count on it.
Believe in me,
No lies just love, I will be here just like the sun.
Believe in me,
When you are down, I will lift you up from the ground.
Believe in me, When I'm gone...
We all fall down.
We'll pick you up.
We all fall down.
We'll pick you up.
Believe in me, when I'm gone...
We all fall down.
We'll pick you up.
We all fall down.
We'll pick you up.
I love you...
As the song ended, the entire room erupted into cheers. Even the anti-conformist Bakura Stood up and applauded with the audience. All of a sudden, the audience started to chant, "Encore! More! Just on more song!"
Yugi just smiled. "Sorry guys, but there are other performers up, maybe next time." The crowd began to quite down.
Yugi got down with his guitar and just sat down next to the ex-king of thieves. Bakura looked at Yugi with a smirk. "That was something Kitten. You were very good." Bakura teased as well as complimented.
The younger Hikari just smiled and asked the thief, "Where to next?"
**** Bwahahaha! This is a line break thingy! Fear it and cower at its awesomeness****
"M'lord the little one seems to have a relationship with the thief" said a mysterious voice.
"That is good. The former thief has a great power, which will let us use the power with out the need of the puzzle or that pathetic excuse of a pharaoh." answered another voice in the shadows.
"Sir what would you like us to do?" asked the mysterious voice.
"Befriend the young light and when the time is right bring him to me." Replied the other voice.
"Yes M'lord." Replied the voice.
"You will do well Jaden." Said the other voice.
"Do not worry I will bring the light, whatever it takes I shall bring him to you master." Replied the Jaden.
The figure stepped out of the shadows and revealed a boy around age of 17. He had golden colored eye and short brown hair. He wore a black cloak that his red school uniform.
"Good my young one, if you fail the world as we know it may cease to exist." Replied the dark voice. The shadow stepped out of the shadow just enough to reveal Multi colored hair consisting of crimson, blond, and ebony.
With that said, a fog of amethyst smoke began to fill the alley that the two partners were in. Jaden was left behind and set out to befriend the fallen hikari.
****OMR who saw that coming? Line break****
Having left the music cafe, our duo set out towards the Pet store, which was right next to International. There they bought cat food and a new set of cat toys for Pita. Yugi bought a little cat tag for her it the shape of a blue fish. On the tag, it said her name and information in case she got lost one day. He also bought her a little loose collar for the tag.
"You didn't have to buy that for Pita because I have money you know, chibi-tan" commented Bakura.
"I know I didn't, but I wanted to. She's the first temporary pet I ever had." Replied Yugi.
Temporary. That word made Bakura stiffen. 'What does he mean temporary? Is he planning on leaving soon.' Thought the thief. Ever since Yugi came into his life, Bakura has actually been having fun in a long time. He had grown attached to the hikari. Hell he dares say that he is falling for the light. Whether if it is because he lost his own light or not, he is certain that he is harboring some feelings for quite a while. Maybe even before the whole fiasco started. With that thought entering his mind, Bakura didn't notice the blush that slowly crept onto his face. At least not until Yugi broke him out of his trance.
"Kura... are you okay? You're face is getting red. Do you have a fever?" Worried yugi place his forehead against the blushing thief. This made the thief gulp and turn even darker.
"Yea... I'm fine... Yugi when you said temporary... did you mean that you were leaving...?" asked Bakura in a quite voice (2).
Yugi seemed taken by surprise. The younger always thought that the thief would only allow him to stay for a short while. He never thought that he would be able to stay with him indefinitely. "Well... I thought that you were only going to let me stay a little bit... Before you... abandoned me like all the others." Said the younger teen.
Bakura, surprised by the reply, quickly looked back at the hikari to meet sad tearful eyes. He wiped the corner of Yugi's eyes as the tears started to fall from them. "No, I would never abandoned you. You are kind adventurous and not a complete ass like the friendship squad. You are different. And besides I think I lo- I mean I enjoy y-your company."
Yugi smiled. He leaned towards the thief and gave his a chaste kiss on the cheek. Bakura tried hard not to blush, but failed, dusting his cheeks a rosy pink.
"I enjoy your company too, Bakura." Said Yugi as he took a hold of Bakura's hands.
Bakura began to lean down closer and closer to Yugi's lips... Then the Funeral march song began. Quickly separating from one another, they awkwardly coughed and looked around a blush adorning each one's face.
"Uh... You should probably answer that..." Yugi said awkwardly.
"Right..." replied Bakura as he pressed the talk button.
"BAKURA!" yelled the voice on the other line
"What is it Marik?" gritted out Bakura. He had been Sooooo close.
"I got out earlier than expected" replied Marik in a booming voice.
"Really?" asked Bakura "You're here or you just wanted to inform me?" the thief questioned as he looked towards Yugi who was still wearing a light blush on his cheeks.
"Both!" replied the other Yami cheerfully.
"Okay, Me and Yugi will be there in a few minutes." Answered the ex-tomb robber.
"The pharaoh's hikari is with you? Why?" asked the ex-insane mastermind.
"It's a long story. One that he will personally have to tell you." He replied.
"Okay see ya in a few." And with that the call ended.
"That Marik?" asked Yugi.
"Yup"
"He here already?"
"Yup"
"We meeting him over there"
"Right-o"
"And he wants to know why I'm hanging out with you..."
"Right on the nose"
"K' lets go"
With that awkward exchange our duo set off to find there newly arrived friend.
****FIN... JK to be continued****
