Disclaimer: I Do No Own Yugioh! Got that? Just a 23 vol.s worth of films! And the song belongs to BlackStreet!
O.o;; Didn't know you peeps actually would like this. But Maahh! It wouldn't hurt to continue, eh? O.O Does this mean I have to KEEP this Story Clean! Aaaahhh! How do I do that! Me and my Dirty Mind Can't Handle all this Pressure!
Oh! This is mostly in Yugi's POV! Later it will be from the others?
Ryou Bakura (hikari) = Ryou, and Yami Bakura = Bakura. Easy Enough?
Oh! And I'm not the Politically Correct Writer. So if there is commas where they shouldn't be, Sorry! I'm still Learning. And I still think English Grammar has To Many Dumb Rules! Other countries only have Periods and Question marks. ~.~;; That would be easy but not everyone can write Japanese or Chinese. Japanese is easy, Kanji's to many rules in where to start first. Chinese, let's not get into that one. I did it for a month and never went back. @.@
Now on with the Ficcie!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My Enemies, My Friends? ~~~
Outside on the balcony of my "home" I sit on a lounge chair. My eyes closed feeling the warmth of the sun basking on my face and the smell of fresh laundry whipping in the warm breeze. I smiled at the sun for it had been raining since I ran away from home.
A voice calls from inside, a cold yet smooth voice. "Yugi! We'll be going to the mall soon! So write out all the stuff you need!" "I already did!" "Oh! Good! We'll leave in a hour, soon as his business is done!" "Okay Seto!"
You're probably thinking Seto? What is Seto doing here? Well it's quite weird actually. Actually a lot of weird things happened since I moved here. And all for the good I think.
Then a sensual yet hard voice. "Why do I have to go? All you do is Awww at all the stuff your eyes falls on." "I do not Awww on everything I see!" That's Bakura's voice, I think you can figure who he is talking to. "I still think it's boring. And I refuse to Go!" "Fine then! Stay here and pout all day!" "I am Not pouting!" "Uhuh, Sure you are." The dark angel folds his arms pouting at his Hikari. "Alright! Alright! I'll go! But I'm going because I need a new dagger. I seem to have lost mine at my last expedition." Ryou gave a face. "You and your daggers I'll never understand. You love em but you keep loosing them." "Hey! I need it to live you know! My job isn't exactly a walk in the park! There are times when a man has to part with his love to live." "Your acting as if it was your umm woman or something." Bakura sweat dropped. "At least this one you can get rid off if it starts to nag?" Now it was Ryou to sweat drop. "Whatever Yami." And with that he headed out to the kitchen to get a soda or something.
Now there's a maniacal laughter ringing in the house. "I have Spotted a New Target! Yo Bakura! Where headed off to Britan!" "I hate that cold and rainy place. Does the sun ever shine there?" "Umm. Ra doesn't have enough frequent flyers mile to get there?" "If you didn't had that rod, I'll smack you right side your head right about now." "Yeah right. I love you too!" And a rumbling of punches and things getting thrown are heard. "Stop that Right Now or I'll Knock Both of you out with the Rod!" That of course was Malik. "Those Vases are coming out of your Checks!" "Stupid Bakura! And I was saving for that new Ninja bike I had my eyes on." "You shouldn't have said a Smart-aleck Remark then Pineapple Head!" More rumblings are heard then a Whack-Whack. There goes the two umm bad guys? Unconscious on the floor with those pinwheel eyes. Must've knocked them good I suppose.
Yup! That's my New Family! My Enemies has become My Friends. For some reason the Yami's call me the "Light" and Ryou the "Innocence". I didn't bother to ask why, I'm just happy to have friends again, no, more like a family now. We are all living under the same roof anyways, so family is the appropriate word here. Seto comes in when he isn't busy with work, or to drop Mokuba off for me and Ryou to babysit when he has to go abroad for business. Not that we mind, he's like a little brother we never had. And he always has new jokes to get us cracking on the floor. Yes. I like my new life. We all work together and No one is Ever left out, no matter how small the contribution is.
Oh which reminds me, I should explain about the "Business" that the Yami's do and Malik's as well. Now where to start? I guess from the beginning?
For better or worse? ~~~
It all started the second day of my arrival to Malik's house. I found out he was taking over half of the family's business on this side of the continent. Seems the Ishtar's are head of some Archeological Exhibitions from Egypt. They tour around the world showing the lost artifacts of Egypt's Golden Age in the museums all over the world. Isis takes over the Western world while Malik takes over the Eastern world. Well, during the course of time many artifacts were stolen from Egypt with out it's governments notice. And these people were getting rich from it at auctions and stuff. And that really pissed off Malik somehow, he doesn't like people stealing "his" stuff. So he reorganized GHOULS into some kind of, well I guess a kind of tomb raider? Instead of stealing what's not his, he's stealing back what's stolen. And returning it back to Egypt's state treasures. Although it all ends up in the Ishtar's care. Safe in the high security of a national museum. His sister isn't happy of how it was returned but thought twice once she found out how many was really stolen from Egypt way before her time. Almost even before Caesar's reign. The Yami's were all to happy to lead the campaign. It was Bakura's talent to steal and figure out traps and stuff, while the other loved to torture the one who stole it in the first place. There were many umm cases of rich people going insane and ending up in an asylum because of a certain fair headed demons swooping in at night with evil glowing eyes.
So Malik's the boss, his Yami is the umm I guess the judge? And Bakura was the thief that no one can ever catch. Which reminds me, Bakura seemed to have attracted a lot of fan clubs. The female population finds his ways, gee what is the word here? Suave? Poetic Justice? I don't know. I just know there is a fan club, and a web site of all the places he has attacked last. And pictures of how he would looks like. I showed it to him once and he nearly screamed his head off. Guess he didn't like how his "image" was being portrayed. One had a British accent like Sean Connery, a chest like Usher and a face which I really can't describe. Something cross between Antonio Banderas and some other famous dude. //Scary Image!// Some even pictured him like Lestat the Vampire, though they might not be wrong with the vampire part. He loves blood just like they do. Brrrr. I'll never understand his fascinations with blood. Ever! Of course this cause him more problems with Yami Malik who constantly tease him about his fan club and his new supposed looks. The house would be broken down if it weren't for Malik's threat of taking it out of their pay. You may not think much of it but the house holds expensive items reaching well over a thousand dollars each. Now they think twice about what they throw now. But sometimes in the heat of battle, they forget. And Malik will come out knocking them out with the rod.
And as for Seto being here a lot. Well he's hanging out with a certain white haired angel. Bakura's father died not to long ago and Malik let him lived with him. How he adopted him into the family nobody knows, but we all know he used the rod to get his way around the government.
Well that pretty much explains how we all end up here. It seems like faith had brought us all here. But when you deal with faith, there is Always something behind it. And I pray I never learn the Truth about it. I'm happy now, I don't want to go back to where I was. In the Dark Abyss of Nothingness. Where no Light reaches and No one can Hear or See me. I hate that, it's so Lonely and Cold. Now I see why the Yami's are the way they are. If I hadn't run when I did, I would probably gone mad to.
Shopping and "We meet again." ~~~
An hour has passed and it's time to go. School is just around the corner and I haven't gotten my stuff yet. I'll need a new uniform that's for sure. I don't know why but I actually grown some. Not much but noticeable. That was probably the second most happiest thing in my life. Now I'm about my Yami's height. I frown at that name then dismissed it. I haven't forgotten about him. How could I. When he is the other part of me, the other part That should complete me but he didn't. I'm only half of a whole. But I'm a Happy half of a whole. Once I went back home to see if they had changed. But when I got to the shop it was closed. "Out on Vacation" it said. Then I heard laughter in the back and I checked. All was there, my friends, my grandpa an Him. They were all laughing. At what I do not know, but in my heart I can't help but think it was of me. And yet again I ran away and cried. Hurt beyond hurt. I never came back. And I never went looking for them. Hopefully they think I'm dead. If that is the case, if they ever see me, I hope they think I was a Ghost coming to Haunt them for what they did to me. Actually that Had passed my mind once. And of course Bakura wanted to help. Though it never occurred to me to really do it, but maybe, one day, I would?
"Yugi! Were ready to go!" "Coming Seto!" I grab my light coat and soon I was out the door.
After an hour ride in the traffic Seto stopped by at the the Tokyo Super Mall // let's just call it that okay?//. Seto, Malik, and the two Yami's walked out to the mall looking like the Mafia or something. Scaring the crowds away. And me and Ryou behind them looking at the horrified faces of the crowd and chuckling at them all.
We went to the clothing store that sold our school uniform. I went one way Ryou the other. Seto was with the rest at the Men's Section looking at some Ralph Lauren or something. My guess is what ever sounds expensive is what they are gawking at.
As I went towards the more petite section I bumped into someone. "Sorry. I didn't see you there." "Yugi?" I turned around and there in front of me was my Yami. "Yami. What are you doing here?" I said with a cold tone I didn't know I had or was capable of doing. "I, uh, was looking at some uniforms for school." "Oh. Well. Good bye then." I turned the other ways and started to leave, telling myself I wasn't going to cry because of him. "Yugi! Yugi Wait! Can we talk? We all miss you." His voice had an uncertainty to it. "Sure you did." I said rather sarcastically and without emotions, was I ever this cold sounding? "Yugi. Why did you leave? Grandpa's been worried sick about you. He even had the cops searching for you." He had you I thought, so why would he miss me? Besides, What cops? I was in the same town and Still they haven't found me. Some cops must have been busy stuffing their faces with doughnuts then doing their jobs. Or they really didn't bother to look for me. "I have to go now Yami." "Yugi! What is wrong with you! It's like you changed! Where's the Yugi I used to know? The sweet and caring Yugi? Where is my Hikari? That has always been by my side." He just Noticed that?! After all that time I was Lagging Behind Him, he just Notices I'm Alive? How dare he! My own Yami not even Realizing I was always there, behind Him! I turned to face him making sure I kept a blank face on. "For your Information Yami. I'm Not a Child anymore. I don't need You to Protect me, or your Petty! I can take care of my own self, by myself, without You. If you don't mind. I have things to do. And places to go." "Do? Do what? Go where? You should be home with your family." I snorted at that part. What family is he talking about? My own grandpa didn't notice me when you were around, neither did my so-called friends. I was literally tossed aside, remembered at their time of need. I wasn't going back to that life. To be wanted when only needed. No. I am happy with my present life.
"Yugi!" A voice ranged. "Coming!" I yelled back. "Yugi! Is that Seto's voice?" "Yugi! Check this out! This coat will look cool on you!" "Yugi! Your with Seto and Malik?" And then another voice, two in fact. "Yugi! We found some neck buckles that will go good with your new uniform!" Now Yami was utterly speechless. "Yami Malik and Yami Bakura too?" I looked at his dumbfounded face and laugh. "Yes. They are all here. And yes. I'm with them all." I twirled hard without falling for once. "Well. It was nice chating to you Yami 'Not.' MY Friends are waiting for me." I didn't even bother to look back, but I had a very smug feeling for a changed. I had just talked back to my Yami, I was in Control this time. And he was helpless to do nothing.
** O.O Wow! Yugi being a Bad Ass! Cool! *sticks tongue out at Yami* Nyaaa! You had your chance And You Blew It! So Long Jack!**
Hot Mocha Cappuccinos ~~
Once we finished shopping we all settled down for a hot cup of mocha cappuccinos and cake. I told them my chance meeting with Yami and I got a high five for my cool performance.
"Didn't know you had it in you." Said Bakura.
"Your just full of surprises aren't you lil sprite." Replied Yami Malik.
I just smiled. "I did take it well didn't I? And I didn't cry once!"
"That's because you cried all your tears already. I doubt you have anymore to spare for that Pharaoh." Malik practically hissed under his breath. He wasn't very happy about Yami seeing me again.
"Well speak of the Devil. Here comes the 'Happy Happy Friendship crap Groupie'." Seto was glaring at the direction of a small crowd of my so-called friends. //I need to watch more bad mouth movies so I can curse right!/
I looked at the on coming group. And they were all there. Jo, Honda, Tea, even Mai and Shizuka and of course my Yami. I just looked, didn't say a word or waved hi, just stared. And they did the same. Looking nervous not knowing what to do? So I did it for them. I ignored them totally. I mean? Why bother? They didn't notice me before? So why should I notice them now? Like they say "Pay backs a Bitch" and that's exactly what they are getting from me. Absolutely Nothing. The silent treatment will Kill them alive. I smiled at that. They did that to me and now I'm returning the favor.
** O.O Am I being to Evil? Is my Kawaii Yugi-chan falling to the Dark Side! *darth vader doing the peace sign in the back ground* Nahhhh! I think they Deserve Every bit of Coldness they Get!**
And so they sat somewhere in the back ground whispering something I could care less about. Ryou looked at me. "You okay? We can leave you know." "No. They aren't getting the satisfaction of me running and crying anymore. I will show them I can make it on my own without them 'babysitting' me."
"That's my Boy!" Exclaimed Yami Malik. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Nothing. Absolutely nothing." Replied Bakura who had a smirk on his face. 'He sounds like a dad or something! Nyahahhahaaa! He could pass as a Grandpa with that hair!'
"I don't Like that Look in your eyes." Yami Malik said with a grimace.
"I have Beautiful Eyes don't I?" Bakura smirked back and fluttered his long dark eyelashes.
"If you two don't Quit. I'll make You!" Malik hissed at the two Yami's who shut up quickly. To them Malik maybe weak, but his hands are heavy like irons and with the rod that equals to the Iron Hand of Pain in the morning.
Seto just chuckled, "Well Yugi. Are you ready to face them at school?" "Of course I am. I'll be fine. You worry to much."
"Nyahahahhaa! You sound like a nagging Mother! OUCH!" Seto gave Bakura a good kick in the shin.
We all laughed and have fun. And I was feeling all the much better because I knew I can face them come Monday morning.
That Night ~~~
Late that night I lay down my bed with my radio on. It's Midnight Love on now. Nothing but love songs on. Why I'm listening to it I don't know, but it helps me think better as I lay down my mind blank and wondering on it's on. As I lay in a deep trance I hear a song play.
Let's stay in Love
Let's stay Together
Let's stay Devoted
Let's stay For Ever
Let's stay in Love
Let's stay Together
Let's stay, Let's stay in Love.
~~~
Listen
Girl, I must confess
That you are the best
That I've ever had in my whole life
And I believe that Love
Just wouldn't be complete
Without you here beside me
Near to guide me through
Whatever comes my way.
Funny how that song used to fit my me before. I had always thought me and my Yami would always be together. But here I am, with a new family and friends. And He out of the picture. Sad. He Promised he would always be with me, through good and bad times. That promised sure went down the drain. "Yami no Baka! Doushite! Doushite boku o wasureta no?" //Yami you Stupid! Why! Why did you forget about me!// Oh well, Que sera sera. //What will be will be?// If this what was meant to happen, I'm not going to change it. I tried to changed it but to no avail. I was still left alone. I looked out at the window and stared out at the full moon. A sense of de ja vu over swept me. Moon, tall huge double door, an altar, white and black. Two figures, child-like in appearance, but their eyes, hold such powers and felt so . . . old? I shook of the feelings. Must be the music I thought. It makes me dream things. And soon I was fast asleep.
Stranger in the Night ~~~
High above the clouds a lone stranger floats. Cloaked in black, hood covering face, only a pair of twinkling eyes shines through the darkness.
"Thou, who art with me always . . ."
The moon glows brightly behind the floating stranger, an eerie presence of shadows flutters the night sky.
"Let Shadow guard Light"
A sleek black and glimmering wings of incandescent wonders sprouts from behind the cloaked stranger. Yet it is not the glittering black wings that captures the attention, it is the fact that there is three. The third being right in between the outstretched two.
"My Mortal Beloved. Have faith in thy self. You were never alone. Be strong and hold on. For your Faith is about to be unveiled."
In a wisps of black glittering wind the figure fades.
** O.O What in Tamales is That! Brrrr. Is it a He? Or a She? Or could it be a HeShe? SheHe?**
