I know that today is not Saturday and there is a reason for me uploading this chapter a day earlier. The things is I have to go to my older brothers wedding on Saturday and won't have time to upload this before we leave the house. So yay for a day earlier ^D^ Sorry that I took awhile to get this up today, busy getting ready for tomorrow.

No flames aloud, Thank you.


Chapter 21: First date

Monday morning Yugi stretched awake, forgetting that he had placed Yami in his bed earlier that morning.

Letting out a tiered sigh Yugi rolled to the right, finding Yami still sleeping, which surprised him as he always slept alone. The feeling of having another person next to him in bed had a comforting feeling to it.

Shaking his head Yugi propped himself up with his right arm before poking Yami on his cheek.

Nothing happened

Yugi tried again and still nothing. Exhaling Yugi shook Yami's shoulder a little more forceful this time, receiving a response. Yugi dropped his head in defeat, sitting up Yugi leaned over Yami so he could see his face, which Yami's eyes were still closed and breathing calmly. Placing a hand on Yami's cheek he turned his head to face him. Smirking Yugi rolled Yami's head back over on the pillow, leaving him to sleep a little longer.

As Yugi was changing after his shower the door quietly opened, Heba and Atem standing in its opening.

"Morning" Yugi said before they could question Yugi with what happened last night. Atem instantly saw another body sleeping on Yugi's bed, taking it the wrong way "Yugi!" A shift from the bed before it went still again "What did you do to him, and why is he sleeping there of all places" Atem practically shouted, surprisingly it hadn't woken Yami.

Yugi sighed as he finish pulling his clothes on, pushing Atem and Heba out of his room and closing the door behind the three of them.

"Stop assuming that I keep doing that kind of stuff to him. The only thing that I did was tell him that all those rapers that raped him should die, not me as he still hates me the way it is, leading me explaining in detail about why he should stop dwelling in the past" Yugi explained.

Heba agreed "So its something like that"

Atem became confused since he didn't know what was going on "What are you two going on about?" He asked.

"Let me explain" Heba replied "If you have someone like your brother with so much stuff on his mind or problems in his matter, and someone who had taken that class that Yugi took, the one he uses to help people. If you can figure out what makes those people tick, they break down slowly but surly until they begin to go into tears. If that happens with what words you choose when getting that person in that state, that person should be back to normal within a few weeks, though that type of fixing isn't guaranteed to work on all people, just the ones that need it the most" Heba said.

Yugi nodded "The only problem with doing it like that is that the person is forced to face the people who hurt them in order for it to work, though I don't have control over who shows up in his mind, just the most dangerous people with the words that I chose for him to focus on. Also he will be clinging to me until he gets better" Yugi added.

Atem raised a brow "Why is that"

"Lets think of Yami as a new born, but he does know how to eat, use the bathroom and change cloths, just not with use of his mind. The people I use this trick on think that whoever does the trick on them think they need to stay close at all times or otherwise they don't know what to do with themselves and they ball up and cry until that person comes looking for that person. It's strange thought that this method is most effective in curing" Yugi said leaning against the door "I'm just glad I finished up that list last night as I don't have anymore people to kill this week, hopefully not for the next couple weeks at that"

Heba shook his head with a smirk "Though you still need to write those reports for last night and the last few nights"

Yugi sighed, dreading those reports. The reports were the only thing that Yugi considered as work since every thing else he was told over the phone. The only thing Yugi had to do was go to the place and kill the person he was hunting.

Movement was then heard inside the room before something fell to the floor, Whimpering came right after. Yugi groaned "This will back fire back onto me with in a few days wont it" Yugi said out loud before entering the room "Get off the floor, you don't need help with that" Yugi snapped.

Heba chuckled "I'll give him four days before Yugi begins complaining and that's if he can keep his cool for that long" Atem agreed watching the scene in front of them.


The next day around noon Joey and Seto showed up at the mansion.

The first thing that the two saw was Yami. He was actually sitting across Yugi's lap and hugging Yugi around the neck with a calm expression as he watched Yugi type up the reports that he was suppose to do yesterday, but Yami was the first priority. They were in the living room on a couch.

Seto looked around the room, not finding Atem nor Heba in the room when Yugi replied across the room "They went to the grocery shopping a little while ago. Should be back in another hour"

Seto understood when Joey walked into the living room, a shocked expression written all over his face "What. The. Heck. Happened with you guys" was all Joey could get out.

Seto also came over, Yugi motioning for both to sit down.

About two minutes later Yugi finished explaining what had happened two days ago and Yami wanting to go with him and what Yugi did to Yami.

Seto and Joey quickly understood what he had done as Yugi had done something like that to Joey when they first started out dating, but Joey wasn't as bad as Yami from Ryo, Atem and Malik telling him what he was like later on.

Joey starred at Yami. Yami jumped in fright, hiding his face from Joey's gaze.

"Heba is giving me four days until I snap. After today it marks the second day" Yugi said.

Seto smirked "Do you think you can hold out a couple more days?" He questioned.

Shrugging "Maybe, it's weird having him THIS close. I mean for the passed three months it was just a room that connected with mine. Until he goes back to normal it has been nothing but my bed, following me around and clinging, too much clinging" Yugi stated.

Joey laughed "It can't be helped can it"

Shaking his head "At least you weren't this bad when I tried it on you" Yugi said.

Yugi's phone then rang, alarming Yami and the others since it was that ring tone again.

Exhaling Yugi retched for his phone when Joey commented "I'm going to go raid the fridge"

"You won't find much in there" Yugi called after him before answering the phone.

It took until Heba and Atem to return from the store for Yugi to hang up the phone, a headache beginning to come on.

Heba stepped into the living room "Was that the government again?" He asked and Yugi nodded.

"They were just telling me that the reports had to be sent out by today and that I won't have anymore killings to take care of for a months" He informed with a smirk.

"That's great news Yugi" Atem said entering the room with a few bags over his arms.

"Yeah" Yugi set his laptop aside. He then picked Yami up, stood up and placed Yami back on the couch where he sat "Stay put" Yugi instructed leaving for the kitchen to get a couple pills for his headache before returning to finish the reports and sending off the wanted picture's.


Four more days passed without Yugi snapping at Yami. In fact Yami kind of snapped at Yugi in a way.

It was Saturday morning, the first actual week of July. Moaning awake Yami's eyes were blurred over as he didn't know what was going on. He felt as if he had been sleeping for a week after the night that Yugi confronted him, but right after that everything went blank from there.

Shifting Yami felt as if he had been laying on someone. Glancing up he could make out a figure, yet who it was he wasn't sure. Rubbing the sleep out of his eyes Yami soon found out who it was, shivering at the thought of sleeping with him, but soon realized that the feelings he had of hatred didn't cross his mind, but the thought of comfort and peace did. Confused Yami tried getting out of Yugi's grip, only succeeding in sitting up to stretch.

Yugi didn't budge an inch with the movement, continuing to sleep.

Releasing a breath Yami removed the arms around his waist, climbing out of bed to shower and change into something else. Yami couldn't even remember changing clothes so someone had to have changed his clothes for him. Shaking his head of the thought away he entered the room he was familiar with, grabbing a clean set of clothes and entering the bathroom. He was also surprised that the wrist band was also off. Shrugging that off he would worry about that later on when the thought came back to him.

Twenty minutes later Yugi stirred awake, feeling no other warmth next to him. Sitting up Yugi looked around, hearing a shower running and then go off.

Smirking 'Looks like he's back to normal. Though how much is back to normal with his anger towards me' Yugi thought climbing out of bed to change before his brother came to wake him, only to find him naked in front of him.

Minutes after Yami came out from the bathroom, surprise written all over his face with a light blush.

Without looking at Yami as his back was shown to Yami "Looks like you finally came too. Its about time, all you did was follow me around and cling to me" Yugi teased, testing Yami's anger problems.

Yami glanced down "I-I don't re-remember any of that, but what I do want to know is what you did to me. I know that I had anger towards you but now, now there is nothing, nothing that I can use against you" Yami exclaimed, light tears making there way into Yami's eyes before blinking them away.

Sighing Yugi turned his body around, already seeing that Yami would pass out from pushing his memories too much "Alright but calm down unless you want to pass out. Try not to think to hard or you will no matter what you do" Yugi said as calmly as possible.

Breathing in Yami then exhaled, taking his word for it for some odd random and sitting down on the bed for Yugi to explain himself.

About ten minutes Yami was told everything that happened after Monday morning had occurred. He held his head in pain, but forced himself to stay conscious for a little longer.

"Why is this happening to me, I told you to leave me alone" Yami pushed out, reverting back to his memories before hand.

Yugi became alert "It was the only way to help you right now, stop trying to hate me just because I want to help. And calm down or you'll pass out, I'm not lying about that part. You pass out and you could be out for another few day, this time I wouldn't be able to do anything about it until you wake up on your own" Yugi stated.

Groaning in pain Yami held his head before Yugi came over, kneeling on the floor in front of Yami "Stop pushing yourself...Stop thinking about the past, those people...your parents. The people you hate the most will come to realize that they should regret what they did those years ago to you, but they will not stop after knowing that. They will continue with what they do and you will continue to suffer like this" Yugi grabbed Yami's hands, pulling them away from his head "JUST STOP ALREADY! Get a hold of yourself"

Yami's surprised gaze shot up towards Yugi's.

"Can't you see that you're only hurting yourself by doing this kind of thing. Think of your health for once, think of the people who actually care about you, your brother. What would he do if you became ill from what you are doing. Think about him before you do something stupid. What would your parents think if they found out that you die this early on and found you hanging out with them. Nothing, they would think of nothing instead of you being so stupid with the life they gave you" Yugi snapped standing up and leaving the room, slamming the door right after and making his way down the hall to who knows where.

Yami blinked in shock, shocked that Yugi put so much meaning behind his words. Yami was surprised that he had actually calmed down from that as his head didn't hurt that much anymore. Sighing Yami lied back down on the bed, slowly thinking about the stuff that Yugi had said.


A week later Yami had thought thoroughly on the offer that Yugi had wanted to get started on and agreed with what would come even if he didn't like it.

Yugi had calmed down from slamming the door days ago and happily understood as he stayed indoors to work on Yami's social skills an emotions like he did the last time in college.

Yugi did this for two more weeks until he knew that Yami was ready to be taken out into the town. During the time that they were inside, Yami had gotten his own room as he still wore Yugi's old cloths since they fit him just fine, thought Yami sometimes had a fit with them feeling a bit too big for his body.

After the two weeks were up, Yugi informed Yami that morning that they would be going out later.

Yami was in the living room reading some kind of book "You mean...A date" He clarified.

Raising a brow "If you want to call it that. We're just going out to eat and maybe catch a movie of something after"

Rolling his eyes Yami continued with his book "That's what a date is. Two people spending time together. I'm not that stupid"

Sighing "I wasn't implying that on you. You're the type that doesn't like to let people know that I'm with you so that is why I waited this long in taking you out. It was to train you to not be embarrassed with me around or snap out at other people because of me"

"Yeah yeah, whatever you say. I don't care" Yami called not caring all that much.

"Yugi shook his head "Fine, but if you act up then next time I'll have to think of a place that's a little more suited for you" Yugi smirked evilly walking away.

Yami tuned in on the 'suited for you' part, being a little scarred at where Yugi would take him. Yami then could hear chuckled coming from the kitchen right after.

Later that day around seven-thirty Yugi drove Yami and himself to the movie theater, both dressed in somewhat nice clothes for dinner afterward.

Twenty minutes passed before the two began walking up to the building, going inside as Yugi bought two tickets to this movie the two decided on before leaving the house. Once they had their tickets both grabbed something to drink and a medium popcorn to hold them until dinner.

They then headed for the room, deciding to sit at the top row below the film room so nobody could see what they were doing or who they were.

The movie soon began playing, something call Dream World.(A/N: This is something I had a dream about a while ago and will either make a Manga or a fanfic out of it.)

After a couple hours the movie ended. It wasn't at all that bad. It had action, horror, gore and a few others. The credits rolled while the lights brightened slightly.

Yami found out that Yugi had some how placed his arm behind his own seat like what girls would love to happen when with their boyfriends, but Yugi kept his sight in front and on the movie during that time so how did he get his arm behind Yami.

Yugi then stood up, followed by Yami as they threw their empty cups and popcorn container into the trash on their way out. Yugi grabbed his keys from his pocket and opened the car doors once close. Once inside Yugi saw the time as that was nine-fifty-two and drove to the dinner that was open twenty-four-seven.

It didn't take that long to get to the dinner as both were already sitting down at the table and had ordered something. They were just waiting on their food.

Both were silent for the most part as they didn't know what to say.

Yugi broke that silence soon after "Weird last few days hasn't it" Yugi asked.

Yami shrugged "Sort of, but if you're trying to get me to act up then you can forget it"

Yugi pouted "But aren't you a little bit curious to what I said earlier" Yugi asked.

"Beyond curious, why can't you just tell me" Yami said crossing his arms over his chest.

Yugi smirked "Because that one is only reserved for when you do act up"

Yami groaned hitting his head on the table and leaving it lay there.

Snickering Yugi pulled out a pen and wrote something on his napkin, pushing it over to Yami.

Yami picked his head up and read in his head 'You still owe me one' Yami blushed lightly at those words, totally forgetting about that payment. Yami then hid the napkin as their food arrived. The waiter then left as the two started eating.

"Judging by your reaction you can still remember that. I'll give it to you, you're not that hopeless after all" Yugi teased.

Blushing even brighter "I'm not hopeless Yugi, I just don't like thinking about what happened as whatever you did a few weeks ago was erased from my mind" Yami protested.

Yugi's face then when blank, eyes blinking every so often "What" Yami question wondering why Yugi went silent.

Shaking his head "Nothing, it's just that you never really say my name when you talk with me. This is the first time you did and it just shocked me a bit" Yugi replied continuing to eat.

Yami shot his head to the side, grumbling something that Yugi couldn't hear before he started eating again.

A little while later Yami wondered about something "Hey, can I ask you something?" Yami asked.

Yugi drank from his Coke, glancing up.

Fumbling with his hands "Y-you said that you knew everything about me, yet I don't know much about you. You told me something that day in the janitors closet and you found out why our brothers and us had crappy lives. You said you would explain yourself better later on when we started this thing" Yami proclaimed, head still focused at his hands.

Yugi blinked for a moments as he remembered stuff from way back then. Chuckling "I thought Seto and the others explained my past to you when Atem was being cured, though I don't think that they told you everything since you could hide your thoughts better from me than they could...so, what did they tell you. Was it something from college or something that happened in high school, I never asked you that from back then"

Shooting his head up Yami was shocked that Yugi had figured that out so quickly after Seto and the other two told Yami about Yugi's previous boyfriend, Yugi just never asked about what they talked about. While Yami stared at Yugi, as he smiled sweetly, Yami could feel the sweat rolling down the back of his neck and back as he thought 'I can't believe that he figured that out so quickly'

"So what did you guys talk about. I'm curious to know what those three told you about me" Yugi asked, no anger in his voice as he said this.

Yami blushed lightly 'Why is he so calm. Why isn't he getting angry that Seto, Marik and Bakura told me stuff about his life, he should be angry' Yami thought again before asking "Why aren't you angry, you should be. Your friends said stuff without asking you"

Nodding lightly "Yeah I should be angry but I'm not. Whatever you talked about with those three should be for the best, they probably knew that I would never be able to tell you straight out even if I tried" Taking a breath "It was hard enough telling Joey, Ryo, Malik, and Atem all that stuff when the time came. Most of the time I had to finish telling them the next day"

After they finished eating Yugi left a tip on the table before going up to pay for the food they had just ate.

Yami stood not to far away as he leaned against the wall. Yami noticed something fall out of Yugi's wallet as he pulled it out from his pocket. Walking forwards he picked it up off the floor, looking at it to see what it was.

Yugi turned to Yami who came up behind him, finding Yami with a shocked expression on his face.

Yugi sighed at the thing Yami held before pushing Yami out the door. Once inside the car Yami asked, not thinking his question through "Is this the guy"

Yugi was taken off guard, stopping himself from turning the key to the car on. Yugi hadn't blinked in over a minute when Yami figured out what he had done "Ah sorry" Yami apologized resting his arms down over his legs, the picture still in his hands.

The hand that held the key in the ignition fell, leaving the key hanging while Yugi's back hit the seat. After at least three minutes Yugi started the car, driving away from the dinner and back home, this time no detours on the way there.

When home that took the same amount of time like always with twenty to a half hour. Once the car was turned off Yugi slowly got out of the car as well as Yami, both making there way to the house.

Half way there Yugi snapped out of it "Looks like Seto and the other two mentioned that memory.

Yami jumped two feet of the ground, snapping his head up at Yugi. Blinking non stop "Th-that took way too long even for you" Yami stated.

Grinning sheepishly "Sorry, but when people mention the one in the picture" Yami handed the photo back to Yugi, who took it and put it back into his wallet "I can't think straight for awhile after that. I think I got that problem figured out yet it still hurts to remember" Yugi pushed the door open as it was still unlocked from the inside.

In the living room Heba and Atem were playing on the Wii they had while playing Wii Tennis as they had gotten back from their own date a few hours before hand.

Both ignored the two in the living room, Yugi leaving to his room and Yami going to wander the mansion a bit more to figure out what other secrets it had that Yugi told him a while back.

Before long the night came to an end as everyone went to bed, Atem never asking Yugi or Yami how the night went, figuring that everything went well considering the fact that Yami didn't know that much about Yugi to begin with, but he was wrong, Yami did know somethings about Yugi that Yami could never say aloud while Yugi was around.


And there you have it, Yami has started his healing process and is starting to ask Yugi questions. Wonder what Yami will do now that he doesn't have hatred over Yugi anymore. This will be tough for Yami. Yugi will soon have to get over his previous boyfriends death if he wants to help Yami out, along with figuring out this arranged marriage thing.

See you all in two more weeks for another update :3
