Mijikai: I'm back! Sorry for taking so long, but as many can understand,
school is very hectic. But now that I have a week off I can start
updating! Yay!
Yugi: ^_^
Yami:...(not there)
Mijikai: Pinch me. Yami's not here?
Yugi: Nope.
Mijikai: Why?
Yugi: ^_^ Um....
(In the puzzle)
Yami: No, no don't do it! Aw! You did it! You stupid fucken...oh wait...I'm talking to myself here...(goes back to the TV) No, no, aibou!
(In reality)
Yugi: He's kind of watching the episode where he went physco and lost my soul...
Mijikai: Oh...great buy, you can buy at E-bay!
Yugi: Back on subject!
Mijikai: Yes, yes, read and enjoy. Since people mostly want the main event to pop up, I'll be sure to start it in this chapter.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Entry Fourteen (~)*~)
I stared down at Yugi, and held him close to me, feeling my heart hurt.
"Yugi," I whispered, and he looked up at me slowly, his eyes tired and puffy from crying. "I'm sorry."
Yugi only snuggled up closer to me and tightened his hold on my hand.
"Just tell me what happened?" he whispered and I nodded.
(Flashback)
I noticed Reioko was uncomfortably close and did my best to avoid eye contact with him.
He was smiling, even humming and looking around like a kid on Christmas, when he grabbed my arm and pointed to the ice cream shop that I remebered going to when I was younger.
"Let's get a frozen treat. It is getting hot now," he said, and I nodded, though I did want to take Yugi there first, but Reioko was already dragging me through the door.
The little bell rang and Old Pop came from the back and smiled.
He was a chubby man, but with a friendly face, and I could see by the twinkle in his eyes that he reconized me.
"Ah, little Yami," he said. "Long time no see!"
"Nice to see you too, Pop," I said with a nod, and his grin widened when he saw Reioko by my side.
"A new one I see? Shall I get one big sunday with two spoons?" he asked.
I blushed, but before I could protest that Reioko wasn't my boyfriend, Reioko happily nodded and pulled me towards a booth.
"Isn't it funny that Pop knew you were gay," Reioko said, and I froze, and my eyes narrowed.
"How did you know?" I demanded.
"It's obvious. And besides, everyone from High School was talking about you when you left," Reioko answered casually. "How does Pop know about you?"
"My father worked here earlier and I always came to help when I was young. He found me out when I was staring at all the cute boys," I answered, then stopped.
'What am I doing? I didn't even tell Yugi all of this!'
Pop suddenly arrived with the sunday and placed it between us and then two spoons, and I slowly sunk down when he winked at me.
"Try not to scare the people away," Pop teased and I scowled at him, and slapped him playfully on his meaty arm.
"Just for that, I'll French him when a group of guys come in," I scowled, and he laughed while walking back around the counter.
"So," Reioko said casually. "Do you tend to taste the inside of a mouth or do you slide your tongue all the way down someone's throat?"
I started, then blushed as I realized what I just said to Pop, and nearly slapped myself.
'Baka! It's Yugi you want to have Pop tease about, not Reioko!'
"None of your business," I snapped and started eatting the chocolate ice cream, and ignored the fact that Reioko was starting on the otherside.
"You're friend Yugi," he started, and I perked my ears up. "He's a really nice guy. Shame he's engaged."
"What's you're point?" I asked slowly, and he smiled.
"Well, he's really cute, and sexy..."
I stood up and grabbed him by the shirt.
"Look you son of a bitch," I hissed. "You think of touching him I'm going too..."
"Is he gay too?"
That stopped me.
"Why?" I asked, but he only grinned, which really annoyed me.
"Well...it's obvious you're in love with him, right?" he asked slowly, and I sat down, smirking.
"I guess you found me out. Yes, I am in love with him," I said, a bit proudly, not caring if anybody heard.
For the first time, I wasn't ashamed of being gay because I had someone I love deeply.
And if he could take it, I can take it.
"Shame. You engaged, and he's engaged and...(sigh) I don't think he's gay."
"Oh how wrong you are," I said, and he looked at me blankly. "Because, I'm not engaged to any girl. I'm engaged to Yugi."
(Now that I think back on it, I somehow get the strong feeling that was not the best thing to admit to Reioko)
I expected him to stare at me with disgust, or better yet, become angry, but instead he chuckled.
"I thought so. It's the way you look and talk to each other," he said.
I was confused and suspicious.
Reioko was being to calm.
I know he's after my Yugi, and I'm surprised he wasn't going ballistic that I was engaged to him.
Something else was up that I was missing.
"Oh, and by the way...did you know Yugi's been seeing someone?" Reioko said quietly, and I froze.
My brain was telling me not to believe him, but I was slowly being filled with anger and jealousy.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Don't get me wrong or anything, but...I was walking down the hall...and I was walking by a closet. Yugi was in there with some girl, and then suddenly I heard them making out."
'No,' I thought. 'That can't be. Yugi wouldn't let anybody touch him right now. Not after he was raped.'
"I even heard," he whispered, leaning in. "He had sex with her. It's all over the school."
My anger was boiling over.
Yugi was having sex with someone, and he kept refusing me!?
I got up and slammed some cash down before stomping out of the ice cream parlor.
~*~
I walked through town for several hours, actually, till the sun set and then I went to the bar.
Oblivious to each beer bottle that I tossed, I thought of what Reioko said.
~Yugi's been having sex with her........I heard him making out in the closet......~
'Yugi....Yugi....you little bitch!' I growled, my brain fogging, but my anger burning.
I stood up, paid, and then staggered back towards the dormitory.
It was elleven, but I found Yugi sitting at the table, and when he looked up, he looked releaved and hugged me tightly.
"Yami," he whispered. "Where were you, I was worried."
I didn't answer, but instead, grasped him by the shoulders and smashed my lips against his.
"Yami!" he shouted, pushing me away. "Are you drunk?"
Pushing him back, and throwing him onto the couch, then landed ontop of him and kissed him hard, again.
"Yami! Stop it! Stop it!" he shouted, but my fingers were already under his shirt.
Suddenly, I felt his hand squeeze my arm, and I looked down at him, and for the first time realized his eyes were wide and unfocused, tears running down his face.
'Oh god, what have I done?' I thought through my foggy brain, and slowly sat up, pulling him up with me, and held him to me tightly.
"I'm sorry," I whispered, "oh god, I'm sorry."
"No!" Yugi shouted, trying to push away from me. "No!"
"Shhhh, shhh, I won't do anything anymore, I promise," I said soothingly, and I could feel his tense body relax, and he cried.
"Why? Why Yami?" he whispered, his body trembling, and for an instant my anger flared up, and I pulled away from him.
"Why? Why are you having sex with another girl, but you refuse me? I'm your damn fiancee and your having an affair with a girl?" I demanded.
"But I'm not!" he shouted, grasping my shirt. "Why would I have an affair with anyone when I love you! Only you! I would never do such a thing!"
I didn't have to look in his eyes to see if he was telling the truth, the hysteria in his voice was enough, and I slowly began to realize how stupid I was, and pushed myself up from the couch.
"Yami!" Yugi shouted and wrapped his arms around my waist, his face buried between my shoulder blades. "Please don't go."
I bit my lip, and took him in my arms and sat down upon the couch, just holding him, our fingers interwined.
(End of Flash back)
Yugi sighed and laid his head upon my shoulder.
"You believed him? Out of all people, you believed him?"
"I'm sorry! I was jealous!" I shouted, then looked away. "I love you so much, that when ever you even talk to someone besides me, I get jealous, but...I guess..."
I felt soft lips against my neck.
"I thought I was the only one of us who felt that way. When I see you with Reioko...even though I know...you would never do anything behind my back...with the exception of sometimes....but...I still feel like throwing knives at him. I love you so much Yami."
I couldn't help but smile, and gently kissed the top of his head.
"If you ever left me...I don't know what I would do," he whispered, and I held him tightly.
"Me too, aibou. Me too."
If someone asked me what was the most emotional night of my life. This was it.
~*~
After school the next day, Yami came up to me and blindfolded me.
"Yami!" I shouted, almost stumbling. "I can't see..."
"Duh, I wouldn't blindfold you if you could," he teased, and I felt him kiss my cheek. "I have a surprise place to take you to."
"Is it far?"
"Nah, not that far," he said and took my hand and I slowly started walking.
It seemed like an hour before he stopped and removed the blindfold and took me in, a bell ringing and a chubby Egyptian man came from behind the counter, grinning.
He reminded me of Grandpa and I smiled back, liking this man already.
"Hello Yami. My you are a paculiar one. You don't show up for several years and now twice this week. Now whose this?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. "I hope you aren't cheating."
Yami rolled his eyes.
"Pop, Reioko wasn't my boyfriend. Just some guy who rooms with us. But this sexy treat here," he said, grabbing me around the waist. "is my finacee Yugi Mutou. Koi, this is Pop. He runs the ice cream parlor and used to work with my Dad."
"A pleasure to meet you," I said, and we shook hands.
"Ah, looks like I'll be making something extra special," he said, then glanced behind me. "Now, get your arms off the kids waist. I don't my customers being scared away."
Yami grinned.
"Aw, okay," he said slowly, before kissing me.
Pop scowled, but I could tell he was teasing and Yami let go just as some customers came in.
Yami grasped my hand and led me to a booth and he was grinning so brightly.
"So, what do you think of Pop?" he asked.
"He's wonderful! I wouldn't mind meeting him more often!"
"Yes, he's a real fatherly guy."
"Does he create all these treats himself?" I asked and Yami nodded. "Impressive. They all look so sweet and delicious."
"Oh, yes, but I know a desert that's even better that he can never create," Yami said and leaned forward.
"And what's that?" I asked innocently, and he kissed me light.
"You."
I blushed, and laughed, when there was a cough and we looked up to see Pop looking at us with a raised eyebrow as he slid the treat inbtween us with two spoons.
"Now, now, young people must control there hormones," he teased, and Yami looked up innocently.
"What do you mean?"
Pop scowled and whapped him with his towel he had tucked into his belt before returning to the counter.
"Wow," I whispered, as I stared at the ice cream.
It had two banana's with vanilla and chocolate ice cream piled ontop of it with dripping carmal and whip cream. At the very top was a cherry and I took my spoon digging in.
"This is great!" I exclaimed, and Yami nodded.
"This is the best place for dates, and Pop seems to know exactly which kind of ice cream goes best."
I felt a little jealous.
"You dated others?" I asked.
"In Junior High. Back then, nobody really cared. It was High School I had to watch out for."
"Oh," I said, trying not to sound sad or annoyed and shoved more ice cream in my mouth.
We finished the platter in about ten minutes, the cherry still in the middle of a puddle of melted ice cream.
Before I could ask who should get it, Yami sliced it in half and we both poped it into our mouths.
"That was good," I said smiling, and Yami nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, the door burst open and we looked up to see Reioko, panting as he ran towards us.
"Yugi!" he shouted frantically. "You received a phone call that your Grandpa is in the hospital from a heart attack!"
I stood up suddenly.
"Oh no, how is he?" I asked, forgetting how much I loathed Reioko.
"Critical condition. They're not sure if he'll live."
My insides went cold and tears welled up in my eyes.
"Grandpa!" I shouted, and I felt arms wrap around me, and I could fell Yami's fingers stroaking my hair soothingly. "Yami, I have to go see him..."
"I understand," he interupted. "I won't hold you back. I'll collect our assignments and fill you in on the tests."
I smiled, and kissed him.
"Thank you, koi," I whispered, not caring if Reioko saw, then rushed out of the parlor.
~*~
Numb.
That's pretty much how I felt right now.
Tears spilled from my eyes as I sat in the back of the taxi, coming back from Japan.
'Grandpa...Grandpa....'
I cried harder, covering my face, and remembered the tombstone that was ontop of a small hill in the Domino Graveyard.
Sugoroku Mutou
Greatest Grandpa
~1031-2003~
'Grandpa. Why did you have to die so soon?' I thought, sniffing. 'Why did you leave me now?'
I bit my lip.
How was I to break it to Yami that I had to quit college and take care of the Game Shop?
My guts didn't settle when the taxi stopped at the curb of the University, and I paid while getting out, and slowly went back onto the campus and towards the dormitories.
My steps echoed in my ears as I started up the stairs and I sighed as I held the knob of the door.
'Well, at least I'll have Ya-' I was about to think when I opened the door and I stopped.
Yami and Reioko were making out fiercely on the couch.
What the hell!
"Erhem!" I shouted and both looked up.
Yami blushed and scrambled away from Reioko and stood up, smoothing his wrinkled clothing.
"Um...welcome back, Yugi," he said smiling, but blushing. "I didn't know you'd be back so soon, Imooto."
I started.
'Did Yami just call me a little brother?'
"Yami? Are you alright?" I asked slowly, and he looked at me with a cocked head.
"Never feeling better. Oh, Yugi, this is my boyfriend Reioko...I hope you don't mind that...I have a boyfriend..." Yami stammered, and I glared.
"What the hell is going on!" I shouted.
"Easy. You went home to see our sick Grandpa, and while you were gone I met Reioko and we fell in love," he explained and both smiled at each other as they held hands.
I felt rage fill me and I slapped Yami hard across the face.
"You son of a bitch!" I shouted and stomped to our room and slammed the door, locking it behind him.
"I'm sorry Reioko," I heard Yami say. "I'll talk to him later."
"While we wait how about we have a little couch time?" Reioko purred and I winced as I heard moaning and closed my eyes, pressing a hand to my forehead.
How could this happen!

"Yami? Are you alright?" I asked slowly, and he looked at me with a cocked head.
"Never feeling better. Oh, Yugi, this is my boyfriend Reioko...I hope you don't mind that...I have a boyfriend..." Yami stammered, and I glared.
"What the hell is going on!" I shouted.
"Easy. You went home to see our sick Grandpa, and while you were gone I met Reioko and we fell in love," he explained and both smiled at each other as they held hands.
I felt rage fill me and I slapped Yami hard across the face.
"You son of a bitch!" I shouted and stomped to our room and slammed the door, locking it behind him.
"I'm sorry Reioko," I heard Yami say. "I'll talk to him later."
"While we wait how about we have a little couch time?" Reioko purred and I winced as I heard moaning and closed my eyes, pressing a hand to my forehead.
How could this happen!

Mijikai: Before you kill me for leaving _another_ cliff hanger, I have good news! Since I have the week off, I'll be updating more instead of putting if off for a couple of months!
