Now, that we're finished with the climax, this is when things start becoming a little more smoother. Let's see how far these love birds will take it. Just to be clear on a few things. In Japan, your birth certificate is recorded in a koseki. A koseki is a family registry that every family household is required to have of their birth, acknowledgements of paternity, adoptions, disruptions of adoptions, deaths, marriages and divorces of Japanese citizens to their local authority. So, to be brief, koseki and birth certificate are two different things. A koseki is a family household record, while a birth certificate is only a record of the individual's birth. Got it? Good. Review please!
I made an appointment to the Domino City Information Offices. I was lucky enough to be able to set up an appointment three days ago, which was today. I drove Yugi there and she was able to go inside to get a copy of the Moto koseki. Now, that she got it, I can really make it up to Yugi for the way I've been treating her in the past.
I didn't want to just tell Yugi "I'm sorry for being an asshole, will you be my boyfriend and I will take care of you?" I wanted to keep my promises. I may not criticize my dad anymore, but that isn't to say I'm not gonna make myself a better man. That's what I'm going to do. I'm gonna make myself a better man for Yugi and try to take care of her the best of my abilities.
Though, we had work, we still took the time we had to spend time with each other and bloom our relationship. I also decided for us to enter Domino High to change Yugi's registration. We got ready and Yugi began searching through her closet with only her underwear on. Now that we were dating, seeing each other in the nude was fine.
Yugi searched through her drawer and got on her padded bra, while I looked for a good pair of clean jeans. Yugi searched through the closet and pulled out her uniform buttoned shirt. Oh dear.
"Hey Yuge, how bout you get on that black blouse?" I suggested.
"It shows too much of my cleavage," Yugi said.
"I got a safety pin," I winked as Yugi nodded, then hung her shirt back up, getting out the silk black blouse. She placed the blouse on, which showed puffy folds around the short sleeves and small folds around the neckline. A V shaped neckline met at the middle, showing Yugi's revealing cleavage, where the two halves of the shirt were sewn together, making it a one piece top.
I got out a safety pin from my drawer and took the bottom of the V shaped neckline, placing it together where it didn't show Yugi's cleavage. I pushed the needle through the blouse to the other side until the two fabrics reached to the bottom of the safety pin. I then pushed the sharp needle through the top of the two parts of the top fabrics of Yugi's neckline, then pushed the sharp needle part inside the top cover of the safety pin. I let go and clasped my hands.
"There we go!" I responded as Yugi looked in the mirror and smiled.
"I like it!" Yugi said, showing her usual bright smile.
"That's because I'm amazing," I bragged as Yugi sighed, rolling her eyes and I chuckled. "It's true and you know it!" I buttoned my jeans, then grabbed my green jacket from the closet.
"What if they still put me under the boy's schedule?" Yugi asked worriedly putting on her jeans.
"Then, we can go to the Domino Board of Education and sue their asses."
I sat on the bed and put on my shoes, while Yugi was putting on hers. She smiled and straightened the collar of my jacket before I kissed her lips, then cheek. She smells so nice. She hugged me as I held her gently, arms around her waist. I patted her back, then parted, taking just her hand.
"Ready to go?" I asked as Yugi nodded excitedly.
We both headed for the car, me opening the door for Yugi. I went to the other side and got inside the driver's seat. I drove down the road on our way to school. Yugi sighed nervously, then gasped and facepalmed herself.
"Oh my gosh, I forgot my phone and I hadn't called Miho in almost a week!" Yugi realized. Now that I think about it, I hadn't called Tristan either. I've been too busy trying to get Yugi's koseki, working, and spending time with Yugi. Hell, we were having a Die Hard marathon! I don't care what anyone says about Die Hard not being a romantic movie, IT'S DIE HARD DAMNIT!
"No worries. I got my cell phone, so you don't need it right now," I assured Yugi before I made it to the school parking lot, it wasn't too far away luckily.
Yugi and I climbed out of the truck and walked to the front, entering the inside the building. There were students taking their enrollment exam in other classrooms, so we walked very quietly. We walked up to the main office of the school, who were in charge of the school records and everything. Yugi had her koseki in her hands as she walked up to the office and went inside. I followed right behind her.
Ms. Ganbe was on the phone as we arrived at the front desk. I stood behind to watch what would happen as the woman got off the phone and turned her attention to us. Because of Yugi's size, Ms. Ganbe could only see Yugi's head. Though, Yugi still wore lip gloss and her hair was well combed with a bottom curls on her gold locks.
"May I help you?" Ms. Ganbe asked.
"I'm here to change my registration. There has been a mistake in my registration with my gender this past year," Yugi said.
"Did you contact the office about this when it was done?"
"Yes, but they assumed I was trying to cross-dress, which is forbidden in this school."
"Did you show your koseki?"
"No Maim. I was living with my father during the time and, while I did talk to him about giving it to me, but he didn't. I moved in with my boyfriend about a month or so after that, but by that time it was already too late. I was able to make an appointment to get a copy of my birth certificate on my koseki before coming here."
"Let me see your koseki."
Yugi gave Ms. Ganbe her koseki and she examined it carefully. Ms. Ganbe hummed, then typed some stuff on her computer. She gave Yugi back her koseki.
"You were able to change your address, yet you didn't fix your registration?"
"She didn't know how to retrieve her birth certificate and it's my fault for not showing her how last year when she came to live with me."
The woman looked at Yugi and asked, "you said you lived with your father and he didn't try to fix the problem?"
"No maim," Yugi said embarrassed.
"I will talk to your father about this," Ms. Ganbe said, picking up her phone and dialing the number. Yugi grew more nervous and I held her hand tightly. "Hello, this is Ms. Ganbe from Domino High. I understand your daughter was registered as a male student. I want you to know we take these matters very seriously with our no cross-dressing policy..." there was a slight pause. "No sir, she's right here. She just gave me her koseki. She tells me that she did talk to you about it, but you hadn't tried to fix the pro..." there was another long pause, which made Yugi more nervous and frightened. I felt bad for her and wanted to tell her that everything was going to be okay. I knew her father is probably gonna be pissed right now. "Even if she didn't tell you, you should have caught onto that with her report card being sent at your mailbox, which also states her gender. As her father, you are supposed to take care of your child and make sure she's..." there was some loud yelling on the phone. "Sir, I ask you to tone down your language..." there was more loud yelling, then the phone hung up. Ms. Ganbe hung up the phone and sighed. "Did you claim, when you registered, that you were female?"
"Yes," Yugi replied quietly.
"Very well. Cross-dressing leads to suspension from school, but I will talk to the Board of Education about your education. Come to the office at the start of school and I'll give you the results."
"Thank you."
Yugi and I left the office and made our way to the pickup. Yugi bit her bottom lip, trying not to cry. I couldn't blame her for worrying like this. I held her gently, letting her cry on my shoulder. There was a huge possibility that Yugi would be suspended from school for something she couldn't control. I let her cry for a little while more, letting my shirt soak up the tears, before driving home.
I arrived home, opening the door for Yugi, and leading her upstairs. She held onto my hand, trying to stay strong, as I climbed up the stairs. I let Yugi open the door and we both arrived inside. To my surprise, I saw Tristan leaning against the wall, which separated the kitchen from the living room. I mean I shouldn't be surprised, since he has a key to my apartment, but he hasn't seen me in a while... I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.
"Hey," I greeted as Yugi waved weakly.
"What did you do to Yugi?" Tristan demanded.
"What?" I wondered. Did he think Yugi was sad because... "Oh no Tristan, Yugi and I went to fix her registration form. They told me they're going to fix it, but she might get suspended. Yugi's kinda down about it right now."
"I'm sure they probably won't," Yugi assured quietly, her hands together, fingers intertwining.
"I wasn't talking about- wait, did you say you went to fix Yugi's registration form at school?" Tristan asked, his face so dumbfounded that not even words could describe it.
"Yeah, I helped Yugi get her koseki and everything. Her father was kinda pissed when the school called, so they might let her off the hook," I smirked, trying to make Yugi feel a little better. She chuckled.
"Um... wow... anyways, Gloria told me last night that you hurt Yugi a few days ago, is this true?" Tristan asked, a little softer now, though still showed some seriousness.
"He said he was sorry," Yugi defended as I stood there, waiting for the punch or whatever Tristan was probably going to do.
"I... guess it really isn't any of my business," Tristan sighed, looking at the right the corner of his eye. I could tell he was upset that I hurt Yugi, though didn't know what I specifically did and deciding to not put anymore guilt on me than I already got. I think Yugi was the one convincing Tristan to let it go. "You wanna go to the Hostess Club tonight?"
"Not really. I promised Yugi no more Hostess Clubs for me," I replied.
"Are you sure?" Tristan asked, wondering if my mind was probed or something. I smiled, shaking my head.
"I get violent when I'm drunk."
"We- okay... I guess we can crash here instead."
"Cool. We can cheer Yugi up a bit," I said, patting Yugi's back as she gave me a small and innocent smile.
"Alright. I'll see ya then," Tristan waved before leaving out the door. I didn't tell Tristan about Yugi and I being a thing now, because I didn't want to tell him when he just recieved News about me physically attacking Yugi. I wanted to wait until I had proven that I could be a good boyfriend for Yugi.
The day of school came and we decided to get ready for the day. I got out my uniform and laid it out on my bed as Yugi got out her white buttoned top. I smirked, then dug under my bed to retrieve a flat box. By the time I got it out, Yugi had already gotten out her blue uniform pants. I gently lowered the hanger with the pants down and replaced it with the box. I hung the pants back up, nodding to Yugi to open the box.
Yugi opened it, then gasped when she saw a blue skirt with folds and a pink jacket. There was also a blue bow at the very bottom over some knee socks. A smile formed across her lips before she placed it on the floor and glomped me to the bed, pressing her lips against mine and arms around my neck. I never hesitated to kiss those lips back, our tongues hugging each others as we continued our kiss. We grinned and laughed before kissing some more.
"Thank you, Joey," Yugi said.
"Your welcome... and I think you popped my knee," I replied as Yugi got up off me before I sat up, cringing against my popped knee.
"I'm sorry."
"No worried. It's not broken," I assured, getting up and looking for my shoes.
"Still, I'm trying these on!" Yugi decided excitedly, taking off her night gown and placing on her padded bra. She carefully combed her hair, twisting her gold locks with her two fingers to make them curl. Her hair, from what I could tell, was starting to grow longer now.
Yugi put on her uniform: the skirt, buttoned top, bow, pink jacket and socks. I swear, it cost a ton to get the girl's uniform, but it was worth every penny. I also dug into Yugi's drawer and pulled out a pair of shorts, throwing them to Yugi. She looked at them, then me.
"You remember how Tea would complain about the guys looking up her skirt?" I asked as Yugi quickly put on the shorts and I laughed in response. Yugi sighed aloud in reply to my laugh. She looked in the mirror and placed lip gloss on her lips to make them shine cherry red.
"You think I look too much like a china doll?" Yugi asked.
"If you mean too beautiful, then yes."
"I mean... am I wearing too much lip gloss."
"You look fine, Yuge. A guy would know if a girl is wearing way too much makeup and you're not. You look beautiful."
"I hope so," Yugi said, looking nervous. I walked up to her and buttoned her jacket before taking her hand.
"Let's get to school," I declared.
We took the bus to school as Yugi closed her hands together, fingers intertwining, while looking down at her shoes. We sat near the front, watching as a few Domino High students began entering the bus. Many of them gave Yugi stares before taking their seats. Even after taking their seats, the students were staring at Yugi in disbelief. The girls were whispering things to each other, which made me sigh and leaning my head back. I so wish my pickup wasn't running out of gas.
I walked with Yugi to the office, after we changed our shoes. She waited at the office, as Ms. Ganbe gave her the form letter. We both read it together. According to the letter, Yugi's father is ordered to appear in court for child abuse or child neglect. The Home Room teacher has the right to punish Yugi for whatever they think is necessary, though Yugi also has the right to sue the school to the Domino City Board of Education, if she feels the school is preventing her rights of education or discriminating her in any way. In a sense, Yugi had won.
"You can go to your classroom now. You know your Home Room," Ms. Ganbe said.
"Thank you," Yugi thanked her teacher, bowing, before we both exited the office.
We made our way to our classroom, wondering what our teacher was going to do. Yugi sat in front of me, so I could keep an eye on her. Everyone was staring at her or giving her weird looks. For the guys, I gave them a threatening look and they looked away. Yugi's been through enough already as it was. Yugi didn't need to face anymore of this shit.
Gloria came, who stared at Yugi in surprise when she saw the uniform. She smiled and greeted Yugi, who greeted back. Miho was also surprised as well. She quickly walked to Yugi and pulled her up by the arm, whispering something to her like girls usually do when they talk about something important in their minds. Yugi excitedly was telling Miho about how I bought her the uniform and the letter. Miho was happy for Yugi.
"Hey, I missed the big News, who got pregnant and who slept with who?" I teased as Yugi tapped my head back.
"Nobody," Yugi replied as I chuckled in replay, folding my arms behind my head like a pillow.
"Oh, so Who slept with Nobody, that makes sense," I teased some more as the girls laughed.
"No."
"Wait, so Who slept with Nobody, then slept with No? I'm confused."
"Joey!"
"What?"
"Okay class, time to settle down!" I heard the teacher announce as we all gathered into our seats. He made a role call, making sure we were all here. He never mentioned anything about Yugi and we left it like that.
