Secrets of Yesterday

"So where did you go all summer Yugi?" asked Tristan as they sat down in their homeroom, "You never told us, keeping it secret like that. We've been wanting to write you, but we didn't know where to send the mail!"

"Well," said Yugi in his deep, mature voice, "Since the summer is over, I suppose that I can tell you. Ever since freshman year, I've been wanting to go to this martial arts camp to train a bit, and get you guys to stop calling me scrawny. We trained everyday from sunrise to sunset, and being out doors so much, I've gotten a decent tan. Anyways, while at the camp, the students were allowed to get a job while we were up there, and I got a job as a mechanic, working on the weekends. I got paid and since my boss liked me so much, he gave me the black bike that you saw me riding. I didn't have time to cut my hair, so I just let it grow out. Yami and Grandpa like it, so I'll keep it long."

"You look like a rouge," Tea said dreamily.

"Yeah Yugi," Joey replied, "You look like such a bad ass now. Yet, you're still the same guy. Glad to see that your personality didn't change as much as you did." They all laughed and began to reminisce about past memories. The door opened and the teacher stepped in, asking the class to quiet down as he took roll call. Seeing that everyone was there, the teacher placed his book down, and began to speak.

"Welcome back everyone," he said, "I hope that everyone enjoyed their summers. However, seeing that school has begun the time for games is over and hard work has come back. Along with that little announcement, I have good news for all of you. Today, we have a new student. Please come in."

The class all shifted their sights to the door as a young woman walked towards the front of her class. She had honey brown hair that reached the middle of her curvy back, and her hips swayed back and forth as she walked into the classroom. Her body was extremely curvy and all the boys, including the teacher, watched her with interest. As she stood before the class, Yugi's eyes popped out of his head as he saw her face. It was a gentle face, with a beautiful smile on her cherry lips and smooth honey colored skin. It was her eyes that caught Yugi's attention the most because they were the color of pure silver. The teacher cleared his throat and opened his mouth once more.

"Please introduce yourself," he chocked out.

"Hello," she said in a beautifully soft voice, "My name is Jade Tsukimoto and I just arrived from Egypt where I have been living for a few years. I am very glad to be transferred to Domino City and I am happy to meet all of you." Yugi's focus faded and heard Yami in his head.

'Yugi? What is wrong?' asked the Pharaoh.

'It's the girl from my dream! She's here in my class Yami,' Yugi replied and allowed Yami to look through his eyes to see the girl.

'Yes, she matches your description perfectly. Try to keep an eye on her and get back to your studies. Relax Yugi, we'll talk later.' Yami faded from his mind, and Yugi's hand clutched the Millennium Puzzle around his neck out of habit.

"Now where should we put you?" said the teacher, "There's a seat, behind the kid with the long, red, spiked hair." Jade made her way forward, aware that all eyes were on her, except the eyes of the red head. He kept his gaze down, and avoided her eyes completely. Yugi was trembling slightly, and he paled as he heard the seat behind him scrape against the floor, and the sound of a body flopping down onto the seat. The teacher turned to the board and began the day's lessons.

Shit! Yugi thought to himself, This is the girl from my dream, defiantly! She has the same silver eyes and the same sad face. Damn, damn! How am I supposed to concentrate with her sitting behind me? I can't sense what intentions she has, but since I'm freaking out this bad, they can't be good.

"Mr. Moto!" yelled the teacher, "I'd appreciate it if you paid attention to what I am trying to teach you. If you fail to pay attention again, I will give you a detention."

"Yes sir!" replied Yugi, straightening, "I am sorry." Ugh, what a fucking prick. I never did like this teacher. Joey passed him a note, and Yugi carefully opened it, and flattened it oh his desk.

'Yugi, what's the matter with you? You are sweating like a fucking pig over there, maybe you should go to the nurse or something? Hey, by the way, since your sitting in front of Jade, you think you could get me her phone number? She is HOT! Joey'

Yugi's eyebrow raised in the air and he wrote back to Joey, glancing up every now and then to make it seem like he was taking notes.

'Damnit Joey! I am not getting her number for you! If you want it so badly, ask her yourself. Anyway, I'm feeling okay, just…it's nothing. I need to talk to you and the others later, so stop by my house after school, okay? I'll talk to you later. Man, our teacher is such a dick! Yugi'

Yugi handed the note to Joey, who read it and nodded slightly at him. Yugi relaxed and started to pay attention to his history notes.

The bell rang loud and piercing, signaling the end of the day. Yugi loaded his books into his bag and headed out the door, towards his black bike that gleamed in the sunlight. Fishing the keys out of his pocket, Yugi straddled the bike and was about to start it when he heard a shuffling noise from his right. It was the new girl being cornered by some big ape of a senior. Yugi calmly put his helmet down and strode over the two, and he tapped the guy on the shoulder.

"Back off, I'm busy," said the guy, "Come on sweetheart, how about you and me go out on a date?"

"I said no," she replied nervously.

"She said no," Yugi said, pulling him away from the new girl.

"I thought I told you to back off kid."

"She told you to back off as well, but did you listen to her? No you didn't, so I don't see a difference in it."

You're dead meat kid." The big guy got up on his feet and lunged at Yugi, who easily dodged him. The guy snarled and tried again, and Yugi dodged again. He was trained to protect himself, but he didn't want to fight this guy. However, he couldn't help it that the guy was a moron. Yugi's body was totally lax, no muscle strains. His body was completely clam and relaxed. The guy lunged at him again and suddenly he was on his back staring up at the blue sky.

"That's what happens when you use too much force," Yugi said, "You'll end up on your back. Are you okay Jade?" He was still nervous around this girl, but he just saved her, so maybe she wouldn't bother him at all.

"Yes, I am fine sir. Thank you," she said softly and she held out her hand. Yugi looked at it and then took it in his own.

An image flashed before his eyes, and he saw himself and the girl as children, playing in the sand. However, they weren't dressed in modern clothes, but they were clothed in Egyptian clothes. He was wearing a short, white kilt and the girl was wearing a short, white dress and they were laughing together. Someone called their names and they ran towards the voice…

"Hey, hey!" said Jade, "Are you okay?" Yugi shook himself, and quickly let go of her hand. He looked into her silver eyes and wondered who she really was.

"Yeah, I'm fine," he replied, though he didn't feel fine at all, "Well, I'll see you around." Yugi quickly returned to his bike and the engine roared to life. He sped down the street, desperate to see Yami and talk to him. Jade watched him go and smile slowly to herself. Good, she thought to herself, The vision penetrated into his mind.

As soon as he got home, Yugi pounded up the steps and into his room. His grandpa was tending the shop, so the house was empty, except for Yami. In his room, Yami sat reading about ancient Egypt when Yugi barged in. Yami took one look at him and knew he was upset. He stood up from the bed, and Yugi strode forward and collapsed onto his shoulder, shivering violently. Yami rubbed his back as he eased their bodies onto the bed, coaxing him to stop shaking.

"Come on now Yugi," he whispered, "What happened to you after the bell rang?" Yugi mumbled something and Yami pulled his warm body away from his. "What did you say?"

"I had a vision today, when I shook hands with the new girl," Yugi muttered.

"What was it about Yugi?" Yami soothed, "Come now, tell me all about it." Yugi told Yami briefly about the vision and when he was done, silence ensued. Yami had no idea what to make of it, so he kept his mouth shut. He continued to stroke the youth's back, pulling him closer, and then cupped Yugi's cheek. Yugi looked into Yami's eyes, and his heart nearly stopped beating. Yami looked so sad as he gazed into his ruby eyes, and Yugi opened his mouth to ask if he was alright. Yami leaned in closer to Yugi's lips. An inch away from each other, there was a sudden knocking on the door and Grandpa's voice was heard on the other side.

"Yugi? You're friends are here to see you," he said. The two halves pulled apart just as the door opened up.

"Hey guys," Yugi stammered, "I'm glad that you all could come over."

"No problem Yugi," Tea said.

"Yeah, what are friends for?" Tristan responded, "Hey Yami. What's up man?"

"I am doing well," Yami replied calmly, "Are you all alright? How were your summers?"

"They were good," they answered together. Yugi looked at Yami in wonder. How can he remain so calm after we almost kissed? My heart is still thumping wildly against my chest! Did he really intend to kiss me, or was he just doing it to make me feel better? Does Yami feel the same way as I do for him?

"Yugi? Earth to Yugi!" said Joey, waving his hand in front of his hands face. Yugi snapped back to attention and looked at everyone in a confused way.

"Maybe coming over wasn't such a good idea after all," Joey continued, "You've been spacing out all day man. Tristan, Tea, let's go. I think the heat may have something to do with Yugi's dazed head."

"Guys, I am fine," Yugi replied, jumping up and towering over everyone, "See? I just have to talk to you guys about the new girl, Jade." Yugi told them all about the dream and what he saw today when he shook hands with Jade. After he finished, there was a pregnant pause as everyone contemplated the story. Yugi glanced at Yami, who had his eyes closed in concentration. Tea sighed and said, "And I was hoping for a quiet school year, sheesh."
