Disclaimer: I don't own crap but the stuff. well it was mentioned in the
last chapter, so don't bother asking again!!
Chocolate Covered Rice Balls Chapter Five: Lunch has now arrived!
It took Yumi a while to finally sit down and sigh. She was not only worried about her brother, but poor Seto's as well. There had to be something wrong with the actions that she had taken over the past couple of days.
So. we only have a couple minutes before this stupid class lets out. She thought to herself, watching the instructor go on about some stupid binary ionic compounds and other chemistry related subjects. I just need to save him!
Seto was in his class across the school, more focused on his work until he realized his promise. What would he do about the girl that he. had just met. It's not like I'm falling for her.. I'm just wanting to find out what happened to my brother, I know that something will happen, but who would go to that extremity?
Both of them, as dedicated as they both were to their lives felt utterly hopeless.
Inside Yumi's mind, she was in a corriordor, laying on a blue sheet that was adorned with deep shadow. She looked up and saw a full moon, which made her wonder about everything that had happened. The full moon was Yumi's favorite thing in the world, besides duel monsters and the fact that all she wanted was a family.
"Who am I?" she asked herself as someone that looked like her walked into the dark place.
"You are Yumi Ishada, the girl that is destined to be in love." Said the figure as she lifted Yumi up, setting her on her feet and also looking at the moon. "Do you know who you are, child?"
"I never have." Yumi said, pulling away from the person that could be her twin. "All I want is a place to really call home and someone to really call a family, but what I get is. I. I get.. Ah Dammit."
"You do not know that I am Yumiko, and I dwell here, too. I am here to be your friend, Yumi." The figure stopped her from going any further. "You are a good girl, but you have so much pain.. Why don't you look deeper into yourself?"
"There's nothing to see! All I know is the pain that dwells deep inside my heart, the knowledge that none of it will ever go away and the. darkness that devours more of the soul that I had left every day."
"Yumi! Why don't you see it? It is there, your talents! You are a talented girl, so use them. They will make you happy. I know that you are a fan of.. The Shad. I mean, Duel Monsters, right? You play it well.. As well as someone I used to know. but Yumi, listen.. You never were allowed to do the other thing that you loved through out all the time you lived with your adopted father. It did make you happy at first, didn't it?"
"You must mean that I liked to sing, right.. Yumiko?"
"Yes.. So why don't you?"
"..." Yumi looked at the ground. "No one would ever listen to me."
"That does not matter. What matters is the fact that you are happy when you sing. So sing! If only in here, then that is fine. You can sing in here and no one can ever hurt you for it, and I know that you have been humming around here and there.. You have talent, so sing, child, sing!"
Yumi stood up and nodded. "I'll sing, if you want me to."
"No! Sing if you want to, not because you are obligated!"
"Fine then! I WANT to sing!" Yumi turned to face the moon and put her hands together in a praying position. She then opened her mouth and the sounds flowed freely from her lips, echoing down the halls and bouncing along the walls.
"See the stars, hoshi, know their beauty see the love, ai, know it's passion... if you know it then it will show.. And if the knowledge Comes then you will glow! Never betrayed by the Heart of the loved stars Never held back By the palace bars, If only you could be As free Then you would know That the heavens are Not to far from us! Tenchi, heaven and earth, Combine to make life. Love is all in it! If you know the love And see it in the stars.."
As she sang, a particular person was in his class reading about Napoleon. The tri-colored headed boy looked around him as if he could hear a song that made him feel peaceful.
Yugi? came Yami's voice. Is something the matter?
No, Yami, but I thought I heard a song. Yugi thought back. It made me feel so wonderful!
So did I, Yugi. It's someone you know, or rather you met her this morning.
Do you mean that it might be. Yumi? How could she sing so loud?
Not loud, but she is singing inside her heart. I believe I know who did this, too. You must meet with her, if you have the same lunch as she does.
I do. I will see her and let you take over, if need be.
"Let it all come forth! Let it all live!!! Let it continue to breathe Back into the light, Where all of us wait."
Yumi didn't sing to any particular words or melody, but she did sing whatever came to mind that made her feel alive or free. She didn't know that other people could hear her sing, she really didn't care.
"For the time to come.. I wish that I had love That way I would never Be so lonely, so helpless. Never shall I see the way."
Seto looked up from his paper to see the clock. "Hmph.. This has been the slowest five minutes in my entire life! What the." he muttered as something became present in the back of his mind.
Seto was sitting in a chair in his soul room, with the room completely dark but one column of light that fell beside him. On the floor in that lit spot was the picture of Mokuba, his little brother. Just when he was about to get up, another pool of light began to fall right next to him on the other side and a picture of Yumi was in it! Why?
"I know this girl to be quite the duelist, and the cook, but me to. love her?" he asked himself, knowing that he was alone and he could be himself. "I'm. not like that! There is only two things in the world that matter to me! One, dueling and winning. Two, Mokuba.. And.. And.. And.."
He picked up the picture of Yumi and looked at it. "And three. I do care for her." This inward feeling swept over him, making him wish that he could see her again. "I do want to help her in anyway I can.."
Yumi stopped singing. "That's enough for now." she said, "But thank you. Yumiko. but why. who are you really?"
Yumiko walked to where she could be seen. "I know you have the Millenium Charm. That is the real reason I am here. I dwelled inside it for a long time in search of something. I lost it back when I was at home, where I come from."
"I see. well, I will do anything that means I can help you. You have made me feel so much better about myself and the world outside." Yumi bowed, noticing that the place looked like a Japanese garden, with cherry blossom trees in full bloom. "AH! Sakura Trees!" A little pond was in the middle of her garden, lined with little gray rocks that were perfectly shaped. "It's just like home! Oh! Nihon! Nihon ni ikite, moo ichido watashi wa genki yo!" Yumi was in her black and silver kimono, and the sky was perfectly sunny. "Watashi wa Genki!"
"I'm glad for you." Yumiko turned around and left again. "I will see you soon then."
The girl blinked and opened her eyes to see the classroom in which stood a man in a black suit. "Excuse me, but I'm looking for a Yumi Ishada."
Yumi's heart felt a strike. Oh, no! she thought when the man saw her in fear. I know those suits! I know them.. They were at the site of the death.. They came to the funeral. with Maximillion Pegasus! What would he want with me? Or is it a good thing?
"Ah, Miss Yumi." Said the man. "Mister Pegasus would like to invite you to his home in Duelist Kingdom." He said as the rest of the class started to whisper.
"Duelist kingdom?" asked one boy.
"NO WAY!" said another.
"That's the new girl, don't take her!" said someone else. "I'm a good duelist, take me!"
Yumi shook her head. "I can't go. My. my father wouldn't let me!"
The man took off his glasses. "No, Yumi, I am your father." It was true. This was the man that adopted her, but she didn't know that all the time he was working for Maximillion Pegasus! How did that happen? "So, are you coming or will I have to tell Pegasus about your incooperation to his hospitality? You have the Millenium Charm and we want it!"
Yumi then decided to make or break for it. "Sorry, FATHER, but my leave here is due! Tally ho!" She ran for the window just as the bell for lunch began to ring. She raced on and tried to think of a way to get to her shop and find her brother. Then what about Seto Kaiba? There was just too much to think about and not enough time to do it right at that moment, for a whole brigade of people were coming after her. Everyone from kids wanting her autograph just for being invited to meet Pegasus, the teachers wanting her to stop and listen to what the men in the black suits wanted, and the men in the black suits themselves.
Yumi! came a voice. It's me!
I thought that I just dreamed you up. Yumi thought. I'm stuck in a predicament here. I know that you can help! I just do! Can you perhaps. I don't even know if this is possible, but you need to get Seto! I need to see him badly!
Yumi, I can try, Yumiko then flashed out of the M. Charm and turned to face everyone else. "SETO KAIBA!!!"
"That's Yumi!" Seto could hear it from where he was standing in the lunch line near Yugi and his friends.
"Yumi?" asked Yugi. "Hey, I need to see her!"
Seto and Yugi both raced forward to see Yumi being sought after by many people.
"Stop that!" Seto screamed. "She's just a girl, would you quit doing that? You might kill her." He walked to Yumi and the others started to back off. "Yumi? Are you all right?"
"Fine." She replied, "Oh hello, Yugi!"
Yugi bowed slightly. "Hi, Yumi. I have something that I need to talk to you about."
Yumi nodded. "Yeah, well, Seto and I have something that we need to do as well. We planned this for this morning and it's really important."
Yami, who could see through Yugi's eyes, saw Yumi, who wasn't really Yumi at all. it was someone he used to know, and care for. The priestess? he asked himself. The one that sealed herself up in secret that I couldn't stop? No, that cannot be her... Yumiko.
-chapter five end- This makes up for the shortness that was present last time! There was a lot of Japanese used this time as well. Take a look! Hoshi- star ai- love Tenchi- heaven and earth Sakura- cherry blossom trees Nihon- Japanese for Japan, the country Nihon ni ikite, moo ichido watashi wa genki yo! - I went to Japan and I am happy again! Watashi wa Genki- I am happy!
In chapter three, I made a mistake on Tadaima, which is what you say when you come home. You are supposed to say Itterashai, which means the translation that I gave then. Thank you so review what you read!
