Chapter 25
The Big Music Video!
Two weeks have passed since the Love Me Cafe competition, as everyone was still in shock about the surprise tie that happened with the top idol group, Lovely Peach and the newbies Hikari's. Who now had more people added to their list of fans, but still had a long way to go before reaching Lovely Peach's status.
Walking down the street, was a young girl wearing a junior high sailor girl school uniform; having short two tone brown color hair, with brown big eyes, not paying to any attention to what's in front of her. Too busy looking down at her phone, watching the Valentine performance by the Hikari's, as her main attention was pointed towards the leader of the group.
"Magician-taicho is so amazing! I can't wait to become a Duel Idol so I can be just like her someday!" Smiled the happy brunette, before glancing at the watch on her wrist.
"Oh shoot, I better hurry before or i'll be late for school!" She took off running down the road, wearing a bright smile on her face with high hopes of becoming a Duel Idol just like her newbie idol.
The girls were in the dance pratice studio practicing without Mai, who sent a message to the girls that she might be running a bit late today. As Joey was rehearsing while eating the chocolate that was advertised with the picture of Yugi on the wrapper. The girl's now had their Duel Idol Partner back as they were seated by the wall, watching the four.
"Joey-chan, should you really be practicing while eating that? I don't think it's good for your heath." replied Malik, still moving her body and watching Joey from the side of her eyes, who was doing an excellent job of multi-tasking; which was eating and dancing.
"I can't help it! This chocolate bar is so good!" replied Joey, taking another bite.
"I know right! I already had six of them!" replied a cheerful Yugi, who was was more hyper than usually today. That was mostly due to the six chocolate bars she already had. The girls were still dancing, blasting the music loudly when suddenly the studio doors were slammed open, stopping the girls in their steps.
"Pause the music! This is urgent!" exclaimed Mai, who at the moment looked at if she just ran a marathon and fixed her hair before strutting her diva self in the room.
"I have some big news for two of the members of this group!" exclaimed Mai, standing in front of the group, as Joey went to pause the music before making her way back to the group.
"Okay, first off have you guys heard the new song of Chaos Magician?" asked Mai, taking out her phone to play part of the song.
Akaku akaku akaku yurete
Yume no yume no hate e
Hanarerarenai
Mou nandomo akiramete wa oshikorosu tabi
Ikiba no nai kanjou ga me o samashiteku
Kegare no nai sono hohoemi zankoku na hodo
Tooi sonzai da to wakaru yo
Ienai kizu Kokoro mushibamu dake na no ni
Yami no (Naka ni) Ima mo (Yadoru) Omoi o osaekirena
After part of the song was played, Mai paused the music placing a bright smile on her face for the news she was about to deliver.
"I have heard of it! A matter of fact, girls at our school have been talking restlessly lately, as Idol News called it his next new hit." replied Yugi, gaining the attention of the others who all smirked slyly over at her.
"Maa, Yugi I didn't know you knew so much. Has the King of Duel Idol sparked some interest into you." Joey slyly grinned, as Yugi's cheeks were blushing red as apples.
"I still can't believe the King of Duel Idols' has a crush on our little taicho!? But you're just so adorable, that I can't just blame him. Aww, you two are going to be so cute together! Ne, Yu-chan, remember to invite to the wedding, okay?" Mai squealed like a school-girl, jumping ahead of herself as after the Love Me Cafe competition was over. Yugi and the girl's explained to her how they knew the handsome boy who visited earlier and also how he knew their real identities.
To say Mai took the news very well, but made a vow to the girls that if they let their true identity be revealed to any more people. She will put them through the worse punishment that they would believe they were in hell. Putting fear in the girls hearts, they made sure to not let anyone else find out about their true identity, if they don't want to face Mai's wrath.
"Mai-san, stay back on subject!" Yugi pouted cutely, as Joey held Malik back from death hugging Yugi because of the adorable face she was making.
"Oh yes! How could I forget! Guess which two are invited to star in the King of Duel Idol's new video!?" exclaimed Mai, as this really caught all of the girls attention, hyped with curiosity before Mai pointed a finger at Yugi then moving it over to Ryo next.
"Aaahhh!" The girls burst out cheerfully, forming a tight group hug happy for two of their members to receive such high opportunities. This caught the attention of their Duel Idol's Partners, who ran over to their master's.
"So Mai-san, when does the shooting of the video start?" asked Malik, after the girls were finish cheering, but yet still wearing happy smiles.
Looking down at her watch, before looking back up, Mai answered her. " In just an hour! So you two better hurry up, and change clothes, as your Duel Idol's will really be needed this time, seeing that the place of the shooting take place in the real world, so I will be driving you two there!"
Announced Mai smiling brightly, while the girls on the other hand was caught off guard by the news.
"Now, who's first!" With a snap of her finger, a rack of clothes magically appeared in the room.
"It's a witch!" exclaimed Joey, jumping back in fright hugging Malik close, as if she was some type of shield.
"So this is where the video will be held! What a spooky place." Ryo shivered at the cold breeze that blew past the two. As in front of them was an area of dead forest trees, with a haunted dark mansion, a huge gate that stood in front of the two and the place was covered with thick fog. Standing beside the two, were their Duel Idol Partners.
"I hope you girls do a good job at the video shooting!" Mai called out to the two, who waved the blonde diva off as she left in her red sports car.
"Well let's make our way inside."
Yugi grabbed Ryo hands, as the gates miraculously opened as the two began to make their way inside the mansion. Once inside, the two saw how the place was packed with people such as camera's, director's, makeup artist's and more.
Sneaking up behind one of the two, the figure smiled to himself before leaning in closer by her ear. "I'm glad to see you here, aibou." To say, the figure, or should we say the King of Duel Idol's, was amused with Yugi's reactions watching how she twirled around fast while blushing and holding onto her ear.
"C-Chaos Magician-Kun!?" Yugi pointed in front of her, which there he stood smiling towards her way.
"It's nice to you again too!" He took Yugi's hand and gave it a kiss, before handing over to her a single red rose.
"If I remember, a single rose shows love for a person." murmured Ryo, watching Yugi shyly take the rose, before bringing it up to her nose loving the fresh smell of it.
"T-Thank-you!" Yugi shyly thanked him, as her cheeks were now the same color as the rose.
"Your welcome, but next time expect 50 of them." Yami smirked once he saw the confused look on her face, while Ryo on the other hand knew the meaning behind his words. Causing her on the inside to squeal at the romanticness of it all, but felt surprised when a strong pair of arms wrapped themselves around her petite waist, bringing her closer to a strong lean chest.
"Glad to see ya here, Snow Bunny-chan!" Grinned Bakura, tightening his grip on Ryo, causing the sweet girl's pale figures to be red as a cherry.
"I see I wasn't the only one who was invited to precipitate in the video shooting."
Walking over to them was none other than Anzu. She cooly removed her sunglasses off her face, glaring a tab bit when she saw how close Dark Magician was standing close to Yugi and the rose that was in her hands.
"Magician-kun~! I think the director wanted to talk to you about the video!" Anzu grabbed onto his strong arm mushing it between her large breasts, dragging him away from the three as obvious to Yugi, she was glaring after the two which was seen by both Ryo and Bakura.
"What a surprise." Smirked Bakura, while Ryo looked worriedly over at Yugi, whose gaze soon returned to the rose in her hands, bringing a smile to her face once again as she looked over to the twos direction.
"Ryo-chan, you didn't tell me you had a boyfriend!" Yugi exclaimed cutely, pointing over at the two, something which caught Ryo off guard and for Bakura to smirk proudly.
"Y-Taicho-chan! H-He's not my boyfriend!" Declared Ryo, shaking her head side-to-side.
"Bun-chan, don't be so shy! Definitely after handing over those Valentine chocolates, filled with love over to me!" replied Bakura, lending down towards her ear. "Don't you love me, Bun-chan?" He whispered sexily, causing Ryo's knees to go weak before releasing out an evil type laugh and letting go of the poor girl.
"Bun-chan and Chibi-taicho, you better hurry up to the dressing room. I believe we're about to start the video filming soon, as you guy's will be wearing my designs," Bakura walked away from the two, leaving behind a disheveled blushing Ryo.
Yami was standing out front wearing a sleeveless, black victorian styled jacket with black fur up at the collar, black fitted pants with two black belts that hung off around his waist, and black silver chains attached to the pockets, matching the ones going up his arms along with black boots. A black collar was placed around his neck, with cross earrings placed in his ear; having demonic long black nails.
"Tch, I must say I did a damn good job judging by how all these pathetic females look as if they're about to pass out from an orgasmn any sec now, just by staring at you." replied Bakura, standing beside Yami as coming out next was Anzu dressed in her demon attire.
She was wearing a dark sleeveless black dress, with straps attached to the collar that was around her neck that had a silver gothic cross attached to the center. The top part was made like a corset with black laces, while the bottom flared out reaching the ground. On her hands were her fingerless black laced gloves and rose earrings matching the hair accessory in her head, that had short black veil attached to it.
"Magician-kun how do I look?" asked Anzu, hoping the idol would say good things about the way she looked and hopefully get his attention off of her rival.
"You look perfect." Answered Yami, somewhat pleasing Anzu with his answer. As Bakura scoffed, knowing what type of answer the idol was looking for. She was displeased for getting her hopes up high, as Yami only gave her one glance before looking away.
"Wow! You two look amazing~!" exclaimed a female, as coming out next was Ryo. Drawing the attention of everyone on set onto her, definitely Bakura, at her very realistic angelic appearance.
Ryo was wearing a pure white dress with long see-through white sleeves, that had long slits in them, up in the center of the dress was a diamond heart crystal with three rows of tiny diamond chains attached to it on each side. The bottom of it went down in layers of ruffles, touching the ground while on the right side there was a split with a flower pinned up top, right at her hip.
Pure white shoes were on her feet, with crystal chains hanging from off the strap and had crystal earrings with a matching necklace.
"Angel. . " Yami heard Bakura murmur, who looked to be in a trance as he stared at Ryo; who a had caught the attention of a couple of males who were in room, staring at her with blushing cheeks.
"Bakura, if you don't hurry up someone else might just snatch her away." smirked Yami, gaining Bakura's attention who placed his usual scowl on his face, turning his head away from the scene.
"Che, talk when you've captured your own girl. Oh, here she comes. . ." replied Bakura as stepping next out the room, was the shorter figure of Yugi. As soon as she stepped out catching the attention of Yami, having his eyes glued to her, along with everybody else.
Yugi had a white corset-like top that was lined in white ruffles to match the sleeves and choker. The sleeves were made up of three layers, with the innermost as a thin frill and the outer two as triangular shaped sleeves, with a lace frill at the tip. The choker had a upper and lower frill layer. There were four white bows and a white crystal heart brooch in the center of the chest.
A very frilly white skirt that had a total of six layers alternating between skirt and white tulle ruffles. On the second layer, there is a small white chain matching the flow of the lace and on the top most layer is a white frill cloth with part of the front left being open, so the inner layers can be seen, and has four white ribbons on top of it. White ballet styled high heel shoes with a single row of white frills on the foot and a big white ribbon on the uppermost part of the shoe, and a small white ribbon parallel to the big white ribbon.
For accessories, she was wearing a white ribbon with a crystal heart in the center as her long spikes of hair, was pulled up into a high ponytail to the top of her head, along with crystal heart earrings and white angel styled wings with lace patterns throughout the wings on her back.
"Yo King, I think you might want to close that mouth of your's before flies get up in there?" Teased Bakura, snickering when he saw the deep trance Yami was still in, which also caught the attention of Anzu. Who began to glare over at Yugi, who along with Ryo was getting complimented by the staff.
"Alright everyone, in this video it will be telling the story of a powerful demon king forbiddingly in love with an angel. These two roles of course will be played by our famous Dark Magician-kun and Chibi Magician!" The director pointed at them, as Yami was pleased with the role he and Yugi were going to be playing, while of course Anzu was greatly displeased with the information.
"Next, our Heart-chan will be playing the role of the overprotective angel sister, who greatly disapproves of the relationship between the Demon King and her sister. While our lovely Anzu-chan will be playing the part of the jealous demon who is in love with Demon King, devastated once she realized the Demon King is in love with an angel." explained the director, as everyone was surrounded to hear her explanation.
"Later on the overprotective older sister meets with demon Anzu, giving her a dagger that she will later on use, once she confronts the Demon King. Confirming his feelings for the angel, and with her anger out of control stabs the Demon King in the heart and runs away from the scene. Next our angel Magician-chan stumbles upon the scene and as she sees the man she loves slowly losing his life, sits by him broken hearted as the Demon King takes one last glance at the angel he loves with all his heart, closing his eyes signaling death. After the Demon King takes his last breath, the broken hearted angel takes out the dagger and suddenly stabs herself, ending her life. Far away the other sister felt the connection between her sister breaks, shattering her pure heart as black demon wings release from her back. Okay now that is over with, let's get to work!" announced the female director,as everyone soon got in place.
The shooting of the video was broken into four scenes, as right now the group was working on the first scene with Yami's song playing in the background. On set, the Demon King played by Yami, was lying down on this huge velvet red bed with black gothic interior bed frames, lip singing the lyrics to his song.
While lying on the bed, the Demon King thinks back to the scene which he saw the angel that captured his heart; playing in a flower field with her older sister, smiling bright as the sun that melted his cold heart. While deep in thought, the door creaks open which shows demon Anzu, climbing into the bed trying to seduce him with her looks, only to fail as he pushes her away. Standing up off the bed and walking out the door, as demon Anzu stretches her hand out him, not wanting him to leave her.
"And cut, awesome scene you two!, Lets move on to the next one!" announced the director.
This time the cast was out outside in the colorful flower garden that was located a few feet back of the mansion, as Ryo and Yugi played around. Ryo calmly sat there, picking up a flower and admiring it beauty. When Yugi placed a flower crown on top of her head, shooting her a beaming innocent smile with the sun shining above her, as Ryo smiled a bit softly at the innocence of her younger sister.
"Angel's. . ." Murmured the female director as she, along with the rest of the cast, was admiring by how the two really did look as if they were a pair of angel sisters.
"Cut! Did you you get that on screen!?" She asked the blushing cameraman, shaking his head frantically.
"Alright moving on to the next scene people!"
"Alright you two, this next scene has to be romantic! As the two lovers are finally meeting each other!" announced the director, at this Yugi was nervous standing in a forest covered with fake snow holding the fake rose they gave to her earlier.
"Don't look so nervous to relax and look natural for the camera." Instructed Yami, walking to stand in front of Yugi.
"S-Sorry, I-I'm just a little nervous about this part." Admitted Yugi, staring down at the beautiful single rose in her hands.
"Just act normal as you did with Heart-chan. Think of it as you having to meet with the real me, not the idol me okay?" asked Yami, as Yugi gave it though looking up at Yami. The director of the shoot had just made it back to her set, once she saw how they were making contact with each other, she ordered the other director to silently film it, not wanting to break the connection between the two.
Yami was confused with the way Yugi was suddenly staring up at him. Reaching out her hands to cup his cheeks, bringing his face down closer to her's and was captivated with the soft smile that broke out on Yugi's face.
"You're eyes are really are gorgeous, Yami-kun." Yugi whispered, as the two were now just an inch apart from kissing each other. Yami in that moment badly wanted to kiss her and would have if the director didn't call out to them. All of a sudden, breaking the moment the two were having.
" That was brilliant you two! And Anzu awesome job with the being sneaky and evil when you were glaring at the two. For a minute there you really did look as a woman who had her love of her life being taken away from her!" called out the director, as this caught both Yugi and Yami's attention, looking back to where Anzu was standing hiding halfway by the tree.
For a minute Yugi spotted raw jealousy and hatred in Anzu's eyes before it was quickly wiped away, as she placed a professional smile on her face.
"Alright, this scene is after the older protective sister gives the dagger over to Anzu, the Demon King and Anzu now meet each other, where she will stab him! For this scene there isn't any lines given to you, so you two will have to make it up on your own. Alright, and start!" This time, Yami and Anzu was standing in the fake snow field about to have their big scene.
"Do you really have feelings for her?" Anzu was the first to start off, while Yami began to play along.
"Yes, she is my soul-mate and you are not." Yami faced her in front, standing a feet away from her.
"Why? What does she have that I don't? I'm beautiful and way more talented than she is!? What is it that you see in her that you can't see in any other girl, including me!? Why is she so special!"
Deep down, Anzu tried to keep her character in place, but the scene that she witnessed at the Love Me Cafe competition and the scene they took for the shoot kept replaying in her head. Remembering the way he confessed to her; the way he looked at her. It all wasn't fair to her!
At this, the whole crew were now playing close attention to the two, as the room was intense as none made a word. Standing beside Ryo was Yugi, taking in each of Anzu's words, trying to put the puzzles together of her words that felt as if they came deeply from her heart.
Yami, feeling the same way as Yugi, felt as if Anzu's words held a lot more meaning and then noticed how that she pointed the side of her eyes straight over at Yugi. Putting the puzzle pieces of what was going on and decided to play along with her, while also saying the truth.
"I can't put into words what make her so special. She's like this shining burst of warm light, that brings happiness everywhere she goes. It wasn't her looks that made me fall for her from the start, it was her honest and beautiful smile, that I deeply cherished with all of my heart. Every moment I'm with her, I begin to fall deeper and deeper in love with her, and that will never change." The honesty of Yami words, even though they were suppose to be playing made-up, it sounded to be honestly true to Anzu, feeling a stab in her heart.
"I. . .I . . I will never let you go!" Blinded with fury, Anzu released the dagger, stabbing it into Yami's chest before making a dramatic exit away from him.
"T-That was brilliant!" cried out the director, clapping her hands along with everyone on set, except for Yugi. Who felt that the emotion Anzu was show during the shoot were not fake, but very real.
"Cut! Cut! Magician-chan, I need some raw pure emotion here! This is the finale scene, where you see your lover lying on the ground slowly dying! Your is broken with grief!" called out the director, as this was Yugi three times with retaking this scene.
"Let's take a break!" The director called out, while Yugi remain on set trying to come up with a plan that might help her with this scene.
"What's wrong aibou? You look as if you're deep in thought about something." Yami sat up, looking over at Yugi.
"I can't feel sad! I-I mean I'm really trying, but I just can't get myself to feel sad!" Confessed Yugi with her big round eyes brimming with tears, that Yami quickly wiped away.
"Don't think so hard about it. Try to think back to a time that made you really sad, bring the emotions from that time during the shooting. Will that help you out some?" asked Yami, hoping that his bit of advice might help her out some.
"Alright, let's get back shooting! Action!" The director called out, as Yami went back lying down on the ground.
Doing what Yami said, Yugi began to think back to the most saddest time of her life, as flashes of red and blue lights of a ambulance flashed through her head. White hospital walls, blonde hair covered with blood, as she was hooked up to the oxygen machine. She remembered the feeling of hopelessness and despair.
While Yugi was unaware, everyone who was present had their full attention focused on her, watching the show of emotion that was presented on her face. When small rain of tears ran down her face, grabbing hold of Yami's body as if it was the only thing she had left.
Deep inside, Yami too was caught off guard with Yugi's heart-breaking scene, but had to remind himself about his part and reached out his hands, caressing her soft cheeks, one last time before closing his eyes.
Still crying, Yugi released the dagger that was stabbed in his chest, raising it up high before stabbing herself in the chest. Lying the upper half of her body on top of his, as suddenly the camera zoned it over to Ryo, standing alone with tears running down her face. As deep inside it was due to the emotion Yugi just displayed, but was quickly reminded it was her turn and acted her role.
Clutching her chest tightly, Ryo dropped down to her knees holding her face in the palms of her hands, as black demonic wings released from her back ending the video. After the last scene was finished, the entire set was silent when the director stood up out of her chair, clapping her hands joined by everyone who was present, as some of the females had to wipe away the tears that were in their eyes.
"H-Huh?" Ryo and Yugi was surprised from the the number of hand claps they received, as Yami began to help Yugi up off the ground, while Ryo stood up on her own.
"Fantastic job you two!" cried out the director, who was agreed with by many of the other members who were on set, bringing a smile to the twos face. Wiping away the flashback that had went through Yugi's head, as she never again, wanted to remember that scene.
Yugi and Ryo were standing out by the mansion doors waiting on Mai to come and pick them up, as the shooting was now over with. As Ryo was playing with the Change of Hearts' hair, while Dark Magician loyally stood by Yugi's side.
"Magician-san, it look's I have another thing to fight for and that is the heart of the Chaos Magician, which I refuse to let you have." Vowed Anzu, before making her way out the door, taking her leave.
"Some chick's, really just don't know when to give up! So Bun-chan, do I at least get a kiss before you go." came the cocky voice of Bakura, playfully flirting with Ryo. Smiling to herself, Yugi left the two spotting Mai's red sport car pulling up the gate outside.
"Ryo-chan, are ride is here!" Yugi called out, about to take her leave, until a strong pair of arms wrapped themselves around her petite form, pulling her towards a strong lean chest as a pair of lips met her cheeks.
"You at least should say good-bye to me before you leave, aibou." Yami whispered hotly into her ear, nuzzling the side her neck.
"S-Sorry Yami, but I will next time!" Promised the apple red cheeked Yugi, as Yami kept her captive in his arms before letting her go, as she waved at him before walking after the door. Ryo was about to follow after her, if she wasn't grabbed and dipped low to almost touching the ground by Bakura, who smirked down at her.
"Bun-chan, I have a present before you go." replied Bakura, confusing Ryo greatly and leaned in, giving the snow white intelligent girl, a sweet and possessive kiss on the lips. Before lifting her back up, releasing his hold as he coolly turned his back away from her, making his leave.
"From now on, you belong to me Bun-chan!" Bakura called out the blushing mess of a Ryo who felt fireworks happening around her.
End of Chapter 25
