Misunderstood Part 2
Kyoshi: HAHA!! I have returned!!! And I bet you thought that I wouldn't write more.
Seto: That's because you're lazy.
Kyoshi: Am NOT!! I have exams to study for, they ARE next week ya know.
Seto: Whatever…
Kyoshi: Hey, be happy. You and Jou show up in this chapter. And you're TOGETHER!!
Seto: Really? O__O… I'll be nice now.
Kyoshi: I thought so.
Yugi: Do I get tortured in this chapter?
Kyoshi: All in due time dear Yugi.
Yami: You better not hurt him. Or I'll… ::growls::
Kyoshi: sorry, but he gets hurt some. More emotionally than physically. Remember that I DID turn him into me.
Bakura: Into a psychopath?
Kyoshi: Damnit Bakura! Do you want to be hurt too?
Jou: ehh? Where's Saffire?
Kyoshi: Not sure. I told her to be here.
Ryou: probably getting fresca, knowing her.
Kyoshi: Probably. Anyway, I hoped you all liked the first chapter, I know it kinda sucked. This one is kinda worse. It's BORING. It'll get better I promise, cause next chapter is when some of the angst shows.
Yami: Because of your week?
Kyoshi: exactly. Everything that could have gone wrong this week has. Damn it all. If you care to understand a few things or just like to read about people's pathetic lives, namely mine, you can go to my weblog. It's at www.livejournal.com/users/shizuka_kyoshi. Yup, I know. Shameless promotion. Who knows, you might even like my mindless rants about nothing in particular.
Seto: Are you gonna start the story anytime soon?
Kyoshi: maybe. First, I would like to thank the people that reviewed my pathetic story! So I'm giving out a pint of my favorite ice cream Karamel Sutra to:
Yami Tsuki Tenshi, who also gets a few cookies for being my first reviewer! I love you're stories! Continue them!
Person without a name, don't know who you are but thanks for the review ^___^
Orion-San, ^_____^ thankyou!! Enjoy your ice cream!
Chimera, you wanna know something? My friend broke my VCR and when I was writing that part I decided to put it in. I seem to have Bakura act like an idiot O_o …Just wait until the scene in Spencer's!! ::evil maniacal laughter:: THAT never happened though
Rae, thanks muchly for the review! Happiness!!
Ok, Warnings are the same from the last chapter. And for the disclaimer is Bishounen of the day. And if I remember correctly it's one of my fav guys. Malik!
Malik: What do you want?
Kyoshi: You need to do the disclaimer.
Malik: Fine. Kyoshi doesn't-
Kyoshi: Wait! I want you to take off your shirt ^___^
Malik: ::grumbling, but doing as asked and discarding his shirt:: Kyoshi and Saffire, who doesn't seem to be here, don't own Yu-gi-oh. They own the plot, and many of the things that happen within. ::looks at authoress:: Now why the HELL did you put your pathetic experiences into a YGO fanfic? Are you that sick and twisted?
Kyoshi: ~_~ Thank you. I REALLY needed to hear that. And I'm EVIL, my friend is the twisted one. She calls me a demented sick puppy. Cause I like yaoi. She thinks it's odd.
Bakura: You've talked too much already, start the damn fic!
Kyoshi: ::glares at Bakura:: I AM!! ::sighs:: enjoy the pointless and boring chapter.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hey Ryou! Bakura!" Yelled Yugi as he hurried his pace when he caught sight of his friends. His Yami followed quietly behind him at a slower pace, a small friendly smile was present on his face as he gazed at his Aibou.
At hearing his name Ryou turned away from the shop window to face his shorter friend. Bakura caught sight of the Pharaoh and glared. The glare was returned full force by none other than Yami.
"Tomb Robber no baka."
"Omae ga youkun datta."
After this exchange of insults both of the Yami's growled at the other. The Hikari's that they should probably intervene before blood was shed. Yugi tugged on Yami's wrist to get his attention.
"Yami, we're in public. You can't kill Bakura. Or send him to the Shadow Realm." Yami growled at Bakura some more before he calmed down. "Fine." And with that he turned away from the silver haired pair.
To get Bakura to calm down Ryou had whispered something into his ear while hugging him from behind. Whatever he said sure got Bakura to relax fast. It was no secret that the two of them were an item, and everyone respected their decision to be together. Once the Yami's were under control Ryou kissed Bakura on the cheek and then turned to Yugi.
"So where first?" Asked Ryou.
"We can go in Waldenbooks first. I'd like to see if they have got the next novel to X. I've only been able to get the first four."
The little bell rang as Ryou opened the door for everyone to enter. They then made their way to the back of the store where the isle for manga was. Once there Yugi traced the spines of the assorted manga series in search of the exact title he was looking for. He came across the series but found that the exact one he needed wasn't there.
"Dang. The fifth one is missing. Again." Was all Yugi said with a sigh. He looked over to the end of the isle to see Bakura sitting Indian syle on the floor looking through a manga. Yugi doubted that the ancient Tomb Robber was actually reading it and guessed that he was probably just looking at the pictures. Yugi glanced at the title and saw that Bakura was reading an issue of Earthian. That made him giggle a bit thinking back to when Jounouchi had told him that Seto had bought him the Earthian DVD as a present a while ago. He also remembered when Jounouchi had then explained the relationship between the main two characters Kagetsuya and Chihaya. This made him blush some. He glanced slightly over at his 'Mou Hitori no Boku' for a minute, but returned his gaze to look at Ryou who was sitting next to Bakura. It looked to be as if he was reading Gravitation. He'd heard some stories about that series too, though he couldn't remember who told him about it. Yugi decided that since the manga he'd wanted to look at wasn't there he'd go visit the New Age section to see what they had.
As he walked out of the manga section he noticed that his Yami was following him. He was Ok with it, he liked having his Yami around. The section he was looking for was about four isles away from the one they had left Bakura and Ryou in. Yugi kneeled down in front of the row of books and searched for a certain title. Once he found the book he took it out. On the cover there was a woman in beautiful robes behind a magickal cauldron. Yami sat down next to Yugi and peered at the book his Hikari was holding.
"What is that?" Inquired Yami.
Yugi looked up at his darker half and answered. "It's called 'To Stir a Magick Cauldron.' And it's by Silver RavenWolf. I've heard good reviews about this one."
"Hmm… What's it about?"
"It's about a religion called Wicca. It's path is quite magickal and mysterious to some."
"I've heard some rumors from the people in school. They said that it was bad. I don't believe them though." He gave Yugi a small smile.
"Many people are misinformed about it. They think that it has to do with the Christian's 'satan'. Though that has nothing to do with the Craft. The main rule to Wicca is 'Do what thou wilt, but harm none.' I try to live by that."
"Thank you for telling me that Aibou. It's something new to think about. One last question though. What deity is followed in this religion?"
"It is sometimes called 'The All', and can be split into the Lord or the God, and the Lady or the Goddess. There are many different pantheons that can be used. Like Greek, Norse, Roman, Celtic, and my favorite, Egyptian. It all depends on the practitioner's preference." Yugi looked through the book for a minute then put it back in it's place.
"Thanks for your interest Yami. Do you wanna go back to Bakura and Ryou to see if they're ready to go?" He was answered with a nod from Yami. They both stood up and made their way back to the manga section.
When they reached the isle they saw that Ryou seemed to have finished his manga and was laying his head on Bakura's shoulder. Bakura didn't seem to mind as he was almost finished looking at the pictures in Earthian. Ryou looked up and greeted them with a smile as he then rose from his position on the floor and stretched.
"Once Bakura finishes are we gonna go? I'd like to look at the other stores." Ryou glanced down at his Koibito. "I looked through that manga and it seemed interesting. Chihaya sure looks like a girl." Ryou giggled and Yugi joined him. Bakura finished the Earthian manga and just put it on a random shelf, not bothering to take the effort to put it back in it's place. Ryou sighed and put it with the other ones of the series, wanting to e neat.
"Ikimashou?" Asked Ryou.
"Hai." Came the response from the other three.
They made their way out of the door, the little annoying bell ringing again, announcing to the rest of the store of their exit.
Once out of the store Yami spoke up. "Where are we going now?"
"Well I still need to get a new VCR." Ryou glanced at Bakura.
"What?!"
"Anyway. I'll get it before we leave so I don't have to carry it around. I think that Spencer's is closest, so why not go there now?" Everyone agreed and went to the mentioned store. This store also had one of those bells that rang when the door was opened. The inside had a techno atmosphere, the whole back half of the store was without lights, but black lights and differently colored lamps partially lit the area. Yugi went over to the cabinet that held the silver jewelry behind the register to see if he could find the charm he wanted. His eyes widened as he saw it hanging there. Looking around him to see Yami's attention with the dragon statues and both Bakura and Ryou were looking at the neon lights. He told the cashier which charm he wanted and also a silver chain to go with it.
"That'll be $16.22 please."
He handed her the money as she put the charm and chain in a small box. This was put in a bag with a receipt and then handed to Yugi who thanked the woman. He then went over to Yami. The said spirit glanced down at his Aibou.
"Look at this dragon Yugi." He picked up one of the statues. It was partially red with a blue glimmer to some of it's scales. The dragon's pearly wings were spread wide, as if being proud. It was partially curled and standing on many blue quartz-like glass crystals. A chalice rested by it's one arm.
"That's really beautiful. It makes me think of… graceful darkness. Strength and mystery also seem to be a part of it."
"Why is that?"
Yugi looked thoughtful for a moment, then responded.
"I'm not sure, it's just the image I get." Yugi just shrugged a bit.
Yami nodded. He set the statue back on the shelf and turned his attention to another dragon piece.
Over in the darkened section of the store Bakura was examining a neon lighted peacock lamp. He stood there staring at the figure as it changed colors. He'd never seen anything so strange! After a few minutes he gave up trying to understand it. Bakura turned around and his eyes widened slightly. Walking over to the shelf miscellaneous items in the middle of the store. He picked up a box and grinning evilly turned to Ryou.
"Ryou-chan…" he called out in a sing-song voice.
Ryou turned towards Bakura and caught sight of what the ancient spirit was holding. His eyes widened and his face grew red as he blushed. The box that Bakura was holding held a pair of fur insulated leather handcuffs.
"Bakura?"
"Can we get this?" He asked, still grinning.
"I-I guess…" His face grew even redder.
Bakura laughed like the maniac he was, thinking of all the things that he could do to poor Ryou. They weren't THAT bad. Just really hentai. So in Bakura's mind they were good things. Ryou didn't mind that much, but that's just a minor detail.
Ryou decided that they should leave soon since Bakura was attracting the stares of the other customers in the store. He grabbed the Tomb Robber's arm and went over to Yami and Yugi.
"Are you done yet?" Asked Ryou. He still had a pinkish color to his cheeks.
Yugi nodded, lifting his bag to show he made a purchase.
Still snickering Bakura went over to the cash register to buy his new 'toy'. The woman, who actually looked to be in her mid-teens, smirked when she saw what the silver haired spirit was buying. He handed her the money after she told him the price, then she handed him the bag with his 'toy' in it. Grinning back at the other three, they all made their way out of the store, with the little bell ringing again.
"I swear, I'm gonna rip that bell off of the door and crush it with my bare hands." Growled the spirit of the sennen ring quietly. Ryou sighed.
"Bakura, I don't think the store would appreciate that."
"What do I care? Most of those people are annoying."
"Anyway. What did you buy Aibou?" Yami asked. He looked down with a half questioning gaze.
Yugi stopped for a minute and opened his bag to reach in and grab the small box. It was black with a gold ribbon design on the corner. They all stopped and looked down at a smiling Yugi.
"They finally had the necklace that I wanted to get." Opening his little box he pulled out a chain with a gleaming silver ankh hanging from it.
"So you've been wanting an Egyptian ankh. How come?" This came from Yami.
A small blush from Yugi. "I have my reasons."
Everyone accepted that answer and continued walking until they came to a small store called Software etc. It was a game shop. Not like Sugoroku's game shop though. This one was mainly for computer and video games. They decided to go inside to look around, and Bakura growled slightly at the bell. The other three sighed.
Once inside the store a familiar voice called, "Hey! Yug!" He looked up and saw his friend Jounouchi standing next to a quiet Seto.
"Jou! What are you doing here?" Asked the boy with tri-colored hair as he walked to the pair.
"Oh, Umm.. Seto wanted to get me another present." Jou looked up at Seto then back to Yugi. "He likes to spoil me." He grinned.
"We're just looking around in different stores. Also Ryou needs to get a new VCR. Bakura broke it." Jou laughed at that, and the sennen ring spirit growled at him. He stopped laughing just as quickly.
"I didn't break it. The stupid thing stopped working."
"Sure Bakura, whatever you say."
It was left at that as Jou hid behind Seto as Bakura glared at him.
Yami walked over to the section that had GB color games. He picked one up and looked at it. The Pharaoh turned to his Aibou and held up the box.
"Yugi, this game looks quite strange. Is there any point to it?" The game he held was one of the Harvest Moon games. Yugi picked the box out of Yami's hands and looked at it.
"Ryou has this I think." He turned to the mentioned boy.
"Ryou. You have this game, don't you?"
"Yes. But I haven't seen it for a while. Bakura 'borrowed' it."
"That game was pointless. The moronic farm sprites kept giving me more damn chickens than I needed!"
"So the Tomb Robber took his hand at being a peasant farmer."
"I would never be a farmer! Pharaoh no baka."
Ryou, Yugi and Jou sighed. Those two would NEVER get along.
"So Jou, did you get a game?" Asked Yugi, trying to get the spirits' attention away from fighting.
Jou came out from behind his boyfriend.
"Oh yah. I picked out Kingdom Hearts. Manori-kun just beat it and recommended it to me."
"You mean Kaoru Manori? From English class?"
"Yup, that's him." He looked at the box. "Though I'm not so sure about the whole Disney theme though. Sora and Riku have such huge feet!" Yugi laughed a little. Seto just took the game out of his hands and walked over to the register to buy it.
"So where are you guys going next?" Jou glanced at everyone else for a minute before returning his gaze to his shorter friend.
"I'm not really sure. We've just been walking around and going into the interesting stores."
"Well I think that we're going to that one movie and music store next. Wanna go with us?"
"Sure! I'd like to see if the new Gackt single is in."
Seto returned with a bag in hand. Then Yami walked back over to Yugi and stood behind him. He patted his right upper arm. Yugi slightly winced but no one noticed.
"Are we leaving soon Aibou?" Asked Yami.
"I think so." He glanced at the silver haired pair who seemed to be standing quite close. They were looking at the PS games.
"Ryou, you ready?" The mentioned boy turned around and nodded to Yugi. Both of them made their way to where the group was standing.
As they left the store Bakura twitched when the bell rang. After a few minutes of walking they entered a store called FYE. For Your Entertainment. It was a pretty good store that even had scanners in various places that would show previews of movies and CD's. They were fun to play with!
At the anime section Yugi picked up Nadesico. Jou grabbed it from him and tried to scan it but the red scan line wouldn't reach the bar code.
"Gah! What's up with this?!" Yugi took it out of his hands and tried the bar code on the other side. This time it worked. Jounouchi pouted.
The main screen opened up and everything was in Spanish.
"Ok. This is freaky." Jou pushed a random button on the side. 'Maybe this will work.' The green warning showed up and the preview started.
"Umm… Yugi. I don't think this is the right preview. This looks to be… a Jacky Chan movie? Ok. Someone mixed things up."
"I think you're right."
Ryou stood next to them and picked up a different movie.
"Let's try this one."
They scanned it, but the screen noted that there was no preview.
"Oh well."
Yugi decided to go over to the Japanese music section. Once there he looked for a specific name. Gackt. He had the voice of an angel and the body of a god. 'Though I think another person looks even better.' Yugi thought with a blush. He shook that thought from his head, telling himself how unrealistic it was. Looking over what titles were there he noticed that the one single he was looking for wasn't there.
'Hmm… another scanner.' He looked back down at the CD's and picked up one. Scanning it and picking a song, he put on the headphones and closed his eyes, and hummed along to the melodious tune. Yugi mouthed one of the verses.
'Kimi ni ai ni yuku yo, (I'll love you)
Kanarazu ai ni yuku yo, (I'll definitely love you)
Kono yume ga owaranai you ni, (Just like this dream won't end)
Kono mama niji no mukou e, (To the other side of the rainbow)
Futari de aruite yukou, (Let's walk together)
Dokomademo sora ga tsuzuku kagiri. (As far as the limitless sky continues)'
He opened his eyes and saw crimson. Blinking, those crimson eyes happened to be in a face much like his own. He took off the headphones.
"Umm… hi Yami."
"What are you listening to?"
"It's a song called Soleil." He held up the CD to show Yami. "It's from Gackt's MOON album. I think that this CD is one of his best yet."
"It's about 4:30 something. We should probably leave soon. Seto and Jou are going to leave in a few minutes. Ryou wants to go to the electronics store and they're ready to go."
Yugi nodded and put the headphones back on the hook. He followed Yami over to the exit where everyone else was standing.
"Hey Yug, I'll see you tomorrow, me an' Seto need to go pick up some food."
They said their farewells to the pair as they left the store and entered the limo that was waiting for the two.
The others left this store and went to their last stop, the electronics store. It had many neat toys to play with!
Inside of the store they were met with one of the freakily happy employees that just want to help you with a smile. Ya know, they also work at Walmart. Starbucks and Walmart will take over the world!! Umm… anyway…
They escaped the happy person and headed toward the back. Yugi and Ryou were talking about school and such with their Yamis walking behind them. At one point they walked by a wall that had many televisions stacked playing one big picture. The VCRs' were next to the cameras. Ryou found one that he deemed to be good. 'Maybe Bakura will leave this alone. I doubt it though.' He decided he'd get it. Yugi looked behind them and noticed the Yamis missing.
"Umm… Ryou, I'm gonna go find Bakura and Yami before they break something." Ryou looked back and seeing that the two mentioned spirits weren't there he sighed. "That's a good idea." Ryou followed Yugi as they backtracked and found the spirits standing in front of the TVs and staring without blinking. Yugi and Ryou found this funny and laughed. Another creepy employee found them and asked if they needed help. They stopped laughing.
"Hey Ryou, I'm gonna leave with Yami, cause I should be getting back to the game."
Ryou said farewell and went back with her so she could help him get the VCR.
Yugi walked over to Yami and waved his hand in front of the Pharaoh's face.
"Hello… anyone home?"
Yami blinked and looked down at Yugi.
"Umm, yes?"
"We're gonna leave now, Grampa probably doesn't want us to be out too long. I promised him last night that I'd help in the shop later. Ryou knows that we are leaving and he'll get Bakura when he's done." The sennen ring spirit was still staring at the wall of TVs.
They both left the store and headed back to the game shop. Tomorrow was Monday, a school day. Some liked it to see their friends, to socialize and others particularly hated school. Yugi, though he got good grades, thought it was a place of torture and did not like being around the other people that attended the school. Sure, Yami was at the school with him, but he couldn't always protect his precious Aibou. Will tomorrow be a better day than usual? We'll find that out later.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Bakura: You seriously don't know how to say things without sounding like an idiot. And you put WAY too much detail when you were explaining things.
Kyoshi: ::glares:: SORRY! I'm not used to writing, I'm learning here.
Saffire: What'd I miss?
Kyoshi: Where were you?
Saffire: Talking to Kaoru.
Ryou: Same Kaoru from the chapter?
Saffire: Yup. He's one of my best friends and I have SO much fun freaking him out with my love of yaoi. He's the one who owns Earthian, and the whole yaoi scene kinda creeped him out. ^__^;; I call him Kaoru cause of the Kaoru from Dir en grey. I miss his pink and spiky hair, it was totemo sugoi!! Or very cool. ^^ Manori isn't his last name, it's Marino. The story behind it is that in his Japanese class when he wrote his name he'd mix up the last two symbols in his name and it ended up as Manori. I yelled at him a lot about that ^__^
Yugi: I'm guessing that bad things happen to me at school, right?
Kyoshi: exactly.
Yugi: Oh joy.
Yami: Don't worry, I look after you Aibou.
Yugi: but the story said that you can't protect me! I'm doomed!
Kyoshi: Sorry Yugi, but I don't have anyone to protect me at school, so you have to suffer along side me.
Yugi: Damn.
Everyone: O__O
Saffire: Such a naughty word Yugi.
Jou: he was bound to say something bad sooner or later.
Seto: At least in this chapter I got my puppy. ^____^
Jou: ~_~ You know that I hate you, right?
Seto: I love you too.
Jou: -_- stupid moron.
Saffire: I'm sorry if my little part about Wicca offends anyone. It's just something that I believe in.
Ryou: I thought that you said that you didn't really care if people got offended.
Saffire: I didn't say it like that!
Bakura: Ryou-chan… Can we go try out my new toy? ^_~ ::evil grin::
Everyone: O_O;;
Saffire: Ok, I think we should end this soon. So now it is time for Bishounen of the Day! And today's Bishounen is… ::looks at card:: Huh? ::looks up:: It's blank. O_o
Kyoshi: Did we loose the card with the name on it?
Saffire: I don't know O__O!!
Kyoshi: So then I guess that it's up to you the reader, who should be the next Bishounen of the day! The one with the most votes will win, and also you can make a suggestion for what the winner should wear! Or not wear if that is the case. ^____^ ::evil grin::
Saffire: Hentai ~_~
Malik: I think you're forgetting something. Again.
Kyoshi: Japanese translations, right?
Malik: Pin Pon.
Kyoshi: Ok then! Here are the translations:
Omae ga youkun datta – I put this small sentence together by myself so I hope it's right. I'm sure it is. It means 'you were a stupid ruler'. It's informal. Omae for you, ga as a particle, youkun is stupid ruler, and datta is the informal past tense form of desu, it's just a copula to tie things together.
Ikimashou – It's the 'let's' form of iku or ikimasu to be polite. It means 'let's go'
Saffire & Kyoshi: And remember R&R!!! We need the encouragement!!
