Author's Note: I'm trying my luck out with Google Docs! :3 This is how I'm going to try to type chapters during the week so I can switch between typing at home and at school so that new chapters come out faster! Hope you guys will like it!
NOTE: I own nothing...Except the usual! And give thanks to Google Docs for this chappie! :P
(POV Yugi.)
I know I shouldn't worry about her since, you know, she's tough and has experiences with defending herself….Yami-Sempi says she can take care of herself but, if that's true, then why do I have the feeling something just isn't right?
At this moment I am in, what I would've called whenever I needed reassurance during my high school years, one of the most-safest places I could ever be. Where I can wander about without looking back to make sure no one tries to ambush me like so long ago…..Which makes me more anxious than comforted…At the moment I'm sitting in the living room, dressed in my light blue fuzzy polar bear Pajama bottoms and a light blue aloe sweater that usually goes over my hands and can't find a spot to rigidly stick to. Making some think it looks like a foamy ocean wave trying to cling to my upper body. I was also wearing fuzzy light blue socks and clutching a mug of hot chocolate, staring into it intently as I worried over Jounouchi-Kun and what she could be doing right now…... Aibou was in the kitchen making him-self a glass of hot chocolate. Jii-Chan on the other hand, had mentioned that he was tired and was going to go to bed but, not before mentioning wryly to Yami-Sempi and I that he trusted us and could understand young love, and had said to keep any "serious" love down to a quiet disable which had made me almost spit out my hot chocolate and had also turned made my face blush so badly that I thought I had a fever! Yami-Sempi on the other hand well, his eyes went wide eyed and he had stayed frozen like a statue in the kitchen entry way, his pale face turning just as flushed, if not more flushed, than mine. Chuckling, Jii-Chan bided us a goodnight and went up the stairs to his room, hands behind his back, and a wry smile very apparent on his aging face. Oka-San on the other hand, who had been there the whole time, gave Yami-Sempi a nice thwack on the head with her seemingly trademarked soup ladle that she always had in one hand, and warned him very sternly not to try anything funny, and could probably care less about him be a former pharaoh if she knew. She then said if he tried anything funny like that that he'd be kicked out on the streets right after he finished anything dirty like that or, even worst, she would probably cook him into soup with that very soup ladle! She then gave Yami-Sempi a steaming glare and me a very warning one, and told me that she could, in my opinion, seemingly trust me. She then left the living room, soup ladle still in hand, and made her way up the stairs briskly, leaving a rather stricken looking Yami-Sempi in her wake. I on the other hand well, I was rather nervous and embarrassed but that's just the tip of my emotional iceberg.
Which bring me back to my 'staring contest' with my hot chocolate.
Seemingly behind me at the moment though was the soft thumps of someone moving out of the small kitchen and coming out from behind a door frame curiously, wondering what the other was doing, staring into their innocent and steaming cup of hot chocolate with such a worried and tense expression.
"Aibou," Startled by the sudden interruption of my starring contest with my hot chocolate and my train of thought, I turned around and saw Yami-Sempi, Mou Hitori no Boku or well, Aibou holding a mug of hot chocolate and staring at me with his deep and usually determined crimson eyes staring into my less intimidating violet ones with a rather unsure and, what you could say, a more shallow looking look instead of his usual deep in thought look as he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong Mou Hitori no Boku...Nothing..." I answered softly, not looking up to meet his gaze and probably sounding rather more -unsure of myself than usual. The two of us stared in silence for a few second, me feeling his penetrating gaze searching right through me, making me fell rather uncomfortable. Tensing up and biting on my bottom lip I finally had to look up at him. I saw his eyes searching mine for an answer, trying to search down into the very depths of my rib cage….Well that's what I felt anyway….Maybe it's more like feeling see through, like a ghost? I don't know but the two of us stared at one another silently till I saw his boring gaze soften, knowing that he had found out what he needed…Which kind of made me almost shiver to be honest…
"Mou Hitori no Ore," Yami asked without precociousness, and sounding rather concerned, "Please tell me what's wrong."
"Nothing's wrong….." I answered, practically lying through my teeth as I kept my mouth in a straight line and stared pass him but, I still saw Aibou give me an unusual opened worried look and continued to press on with some of his natural curiosity which, doesn't help my doubtfully good poker face…...
"Aibou," He started slowly, moving out from behind the couch to come sit next to me, "We use to share a body. I know something isn't right," trying to avoid eye contact I looked away from him and sent my gaze over at the nearby wall, making it probably look like another staring contest. Yami-Sempi sit down beside me a put a hand on my shoulder, making me finally look over at him. His usual brilliant crimson eyes looked rather depressed.
"You know you can tell me what's bothering you," He asked me softly but retaining some noticeable sadness, "Don't you my Hikari?"
"Yes," I replied, not meeting his gaze, "Yes I know."
"Then why won't you?" He asked me. At first I didn't reply since, since I didn't really know how I could. The concern and worry I feel for Jounouchi-Kun is so great though! It's so great that my stomach aches. Kaiba-Kun could be doing anything to her! Anything and the rest of us wouldn't even know since, Jounouchi-Kun tends to keep her problems to herself... But I didn't want to belittle her either and make Aibou worry…Anyway, the two of us sat in silence for a bit till I sighed, knowing I'd have to outright admit it or suffer from having Yami-Sempi bore holes into my face from his never ending stare so, I did. Turning to look into Mou Hitori no Boku's eyes directly I sucked in some air nervously and breathed it out saying:
"I'm worried about Jounouchi-Kun."
Yami-Sempi's worried expression stopped for a second, his pale face relaxing more and returning slightly to the realness' that could be defined as well, his normal confident look returning. His eyes became sharper again, now retaining his usual piercing gaze that used thinking hidden behind observant red eyes. Looking down slightly at his steaming mug of hot chocolate, he leaned forward momentarily. Looking away momentarily and waiting waiting patiently, I almost jumped out of my skin when Yami-Sempi suddenly, but with the most exertion of gentleness so that I wouldn't be startled too much, he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer, making me almost yelp in surprise as I felt my face begin tingle and pepper itself with pigments of maroon. Gripping my cup of hot chocolate even tighter than before, as if trying to turn my knuckles paler in both of my hands, I let myself go limp, accepting his soft and comforting embrace that was sending an electric chill up my spine. It also let Yami-Sempi position me easily so that my slim bodice was resting pressed up next to his rather sturdy side. Without any words exchanged, I carefully handed Aibou my mug, letting him swiftly wrap his slender fingers around the handle so that he could put it on the table since his arms are longer than mine. He barely shifted forward, only making me move rather slightly but Yami-Sempi's fingers gripped my side with the up most care, sending more static sensations running down my side just from his touch that tended to leave me speechless…. When he gently moved back, letting his usually strait and confident back relax, I nuzzled my right ear as well as I could into his chest so that I could feel the one thing that would calm me the most…The simple soft beats of his heart that, as soft as they are, carry the same air as a winning stallion….. The feeling of pride, strength and pure selflessness to win and win for the sakes of others….The way his heart feels in rhythm with my own….How sensational
"Aibou," Suddenly, as my distraction from Jounouchi had came, the words that I should have known I would hear pinned my wandering thoughts down like an arrow to a now pierced bale of hay. Yami-Sempi's baritone voice resonated in my ears, almost making me fall over into his lap. Feeling my face flush from the thought, I looked up at him and listened, "You know Jounouchi can take care of herself, don't you?"
Twisting my neck to look up at him slightly, I bit down slightly on my lip again and answered, "I know Yami-Sempi but, I'm-I'm just-" But Yami-Sempi beat me to it.
"You're afraid Kaiba is going to do something to her," Yami-Sempi answered for me, sounding like he was going to get angered at the thought of it, or well, Kaiba-Kun doing something to Jounouchi-Kun, "I understand Aibou."
"I know," I rather softly, so that Yami-Sempi would calm down a bit, "But it's just-It's just-" Struggling to find the words to say, even to someone who was inside me for almost over two years, I swallowed hard and decided to spit just say it like how I was thinking it, "Kaiba-Kun seems like-like he could be very possessive….." I sat up a bit, feeling rather shameful for my accusations over the CEO, "An-and well, some of us are pretty sure that Jounouchi-Kun and Kaiba-Kun like each other…An-" I paused for just a second and saw Yami-Sempi waiting patiently for me to find the right words, in my jumbled up sentence. I started to play with one of my longer bangs that were on my right side with my right hand while I kept curling and un-curling my left fingers and my toes as I searched for better words in my frustration, "And-An well, it's," I sighed tensely and stopped fidgeting and looked into Yami-Sempi's irises again, which were watching me intensely, "I think he's doesn't want to let her go!" I finally managed to say, "I think something happened on that date….." I just trailed off, unable to continue…..And that last part, that last part reminded me of how Kaiba-Kun and Jounouchi-Kun are like…..I've never really thought they hated each other….Maybe in the beginning….But since then? I know Kaiba-Kun can be rude and cruel sometimes but, but he not just that…..I know he's caring and just doesn't want to show it towards me, or really anyone who isn't Mokuba-Kun…And Jounouchi-Kun? I know she says thing that are in the wrong place at the wrong time but, she just means well…..And all those fights the two have had…..From all out duels full of retorts and testing of strengths to just plain arguments…..I don't think those where just those types of fights met to hurt one another….I think the two just argue to hurt one another….I think Kaiba-Kun just does it secretly tease her sometimes..Maybe he doesn't even know if that's true…And Jounouchi-Kun does sometimes too otherwise, if she had truly hated him, she would've had done something worst than a few insults and any attempts at trying to punch him….No, there's something more between the two…..
"Aibou," Yami-Sempi said, alerting me to come back into reality for a second time.
Blinking, I focused on his face and looked into his eyes and saw something that almost surprised me….Could that is…..Could that be amusement?
He seemed relieved that I hadn't said what he was probably thinking in his head, which I don't think Kaiba-Kun would ever be that uncivilized….He's just, well, very commanding…Anyway, Yami-Semi's mouth curled ever so slightly at the corners while his eyes became even more amused, making me curious as to why he seemed so well…..Cat like! Giving him a look with one of my eyebrows raised he simply wrapped his arm back around my waist, making me almost jump up off the couch again, and turn my face another shade of crimson that it seemed to receive way too often if you asked me…..Feeling almost frozen I heard Yami-Sempi give a warm laugh and answer my thoughts almost telepathically:
"So Mai was right," He commented calmly, "Opposites really do attract."
Author's Note: It is a very good thing that I don't have a really update schedule like I should….Because my procrastination and bouts of writers block would be cruel so cruel! TT_TT Anyway, I cannot begin to mention how much RE WRITING it took to make this friggin chapter! And I feel really bad about making you guys wait for a chapter that is making you wonder what Jou and Seto are going to do! But I thought for my odd dramatic practices that it would fit! And….Also…I wanted some Puzzleshipping fluff…SO THERE I ADMITTED IT! XDD Anyway, I will try to get procrastination to pack it's backs but, I have been slightly busy trying to get my slacking butt into gear! So here, *Tosses some plushies* Here is another present go with another apology….TT^TT But I have some GOOD news! I haven't been slacking the whole time! I've been planning for another story, (Which, may or may not be a good thing with my updating schedule or, the lack of one….TT^TT) that is going to feature, A TON of characters and I mean A TON! It's going to have side plots, tons of romance, and, I will give a hint that, it's a Castleshipping fic…..I do presume that is the shipping name for Priest Seto, (Who I will call Seth because…..Well…It's acceptable! XD) a female Katsuya Jounouchi, and Seto Kaiba! And if you're wondering when chapter 2 of Possession will come out? I will try to get it out soon but, I really just need a weekend for that. It involves a ton, a TON of research that I'm doing in order to make things accurate so, if it takes awhile, do understand that in my opinion, writing a tea ceremony is going to be a lot of hard work in order for me, and a American who has never participated in one, to try to make it seem as close to a real one as I can. Anyway, that's what I've REALLY wanted to say and I will try to make updates faster if possible! Thanks everyone for being so patient!
Oh and by the way, I probably will never use Google Docs on my laptop again…..That's also what kind of made this chapter take forever…Anyway, off to type the next chapter which will probably be FULL of Puppyshipping awkwardness!
