Ring: *sighed* Phew… my head hurts…
Yugi: *looking as tired as Ring* Duh~ we've stayed ALL night just to finish this chapter- I mean, look at this! *He flipped through the pages-* 6…7… 8… NINE PAGES!? *Surprised at the amount of works they've done*
Ring: *Smiling weakly* Yeah… I guess we were pretty into writing this... *gave another sigh*
Yugi: *straight eyes* Yeah, and I never seen you working as hard with your homework~
Ring: *stoke hard by the thought* Er… I guess~ *Sweat dropped as she saw Yugi's eyes darken* Huh? Where's Ura? And Yami? *Grinned unrealistically as she changed the topic*
Yugi: *Looked around, and saw two chibi-looking figures at the corner, apparently just having a staring-contest, not the friendly ones, that is. * There- *Smiled weakly* I guess these two will never get tired of fighting~
Iura: *Clinched her teeth, trembling and looked VERY unhappy* FREAKY-LOOKING Pharaoh!
Yami: *Also looked as if he was about to explode* Wrecked OLD Witch!
Iura: *Veins popped* GARBAGE PICKER!
Yami: *Too veins popping* HEAVY-MAKEUP SKELITON!
Iura: THE HELL!? I'VE NEVER PUT ON MAKEUPS!!
Yami: YEAH?! AND SINCE WHERE DID YOU SEE ME PICKING UP GARBAGES!?
Iura: WHY you LITTLE- *Preparing to charge at the pharaoh*
Ring: *Suddenly interrupted* Ura~ *She warned with a deadly glare* NO fighting!
Yami& Iura together: Haiii- *They exchanged dirty looks and both turned to look the other way, didn't want to see each other's face. It was obvious that they were forbidden to take any chance to have any body contact. Yugi and Ring couldn't afford any more dangerous things to happen, just like last time, which Yugi still got the nightmares often in his sleep. *
Iura: *Reminding the other yami the rule while she STILL looked unhappy* NO FISTS, LEGS, no NOTHING.
Yami: *Continued at what Iura didn't mention* Words and insults, ONLY. *And Turned to share one dirty grin with the female yami*
Yugi: *Not willing to brake the two up* Oh boy- * He wasn't thinking about putting his life endanger again either, watched as Yami and Iura continued throwing just insults at each other. *
Iura: Ugly piece of crap!
Yami: Wrinkled dinosaur!
Iura: DEMENTED HAIR-DO!
Yami: FOSSILIZED BRAINCELLS!
Iura: BAKA NO PHARAOH!!! SHORDY!! GAY-ASS!!
Yami: BAKAYARO DO BAKA NO WITCH!! FAT-SO!! BABA (Old woman)!! BA-BOON!!
Ring: *Sighed as she watched more of both yami's veins popped* O-k~ I'm ganna pull the screen now~ anyone have any problems with that? No? Wonderful! Here we go~ *Plainly talking to herself cuz' she was totally ignored by the yamis, Yugi just nodded with no other comments. *
And she did.

Chapter three_ Dramatic Love
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was quiet, and the board on the wall read Wednesday, February 5, 2003. The first-period bell had signaled, "CLASS NOW BEGIN" about fifty-five minutes ago.
Almost everyone in the bright room looked heavy-headed, bored, and dozy as one man stood before them spoke nonstop; it was painful to be the listeners.
"This isn't good-" Hunda (A/N: Tristan) whispered, "I mean look at the time! It's already 9:45!"
"Oh don't say that!" Anzu (A/N: Tea) snapped back also in low voice, "He will be here any second now- I mean, he's always late, well, most of the times..."
"Yeah! But not this LATE!" Jounouchi (A/N: Joey) joined in, "Yo Anzu! Ya' sure he's not sick today?"
"Like I said he's NOT! Not as far as I know-" She replied, "If he is he would have phoned me before class!"
"Yeah? And why you?" Jou pointed out.
"So I could help him called the school?"
"It's not like he doesn't know the number or how to dial it~" Hunda messed about as she continued, "Or maybe you just wanna be his "personal nurse"~ or why else would you be so concerned? Gee Anzu, you've really fallen for him-"
And heat swept through Anzu's face, altering the color from pink to bright red. It's true, what other possibility could there be? Ever since the last time the gang left Kaiba's island, and Yami no longer hanged around with them that much, Anzu recently turned her attention to Yugi (it's not saying she changes her sensitivity ease and frequently like hens switching nests or something, just that she seemed to have finally realized how adorable at the same time, "sexy" little-Yugi really is-) (A/N: Yugi: *blushed and sweat dropped* er… thanks… I appreciate that…)
"BE QUIET!! How many times do I have to tell you?! I DON'T LIKE YUGI!!!" She just wouldn't admit it.
"Yeah sure."
"SHUT UP!!! I'm just being nice to-" Not good! This girl had accidentally-rose-her-volume as she proclaimed. (A/N: Ring: sorry but I just gata say this- Anzu ga baka-de-su!)
"Guys! Keep it down a little will ya??" Ryou shushed from behind, but it was too late, Mr. Shokodai, their verbal communication teacher had approached the group's desks as he heard the chatters during his own lesson, which the class was previously talking about the finest story writer of the world- Kazuzuki Takahashi. (A/N: =^.^=) "Oh dear-" Ryou cupped his eyes tiredly, blocking his view that he didn't want to see his friends in trouble, meanwhile, Bakura (A/N: Ryou's yami), who was formerly at the desk right-behind his aibou, smirked wildly. 'Bunch of idiots.'
"So, it seemed that all of you here at this particular area have decided to have a much interesting topic to chat about on your own?" the man began.
"It sure is-"
"SHHHHH!!!" The others shushed him as Jou admitted both cheerfully and idiotically (God he's stupid!), there were laughers and gigglers for a little in the room, excluding Seto Kaiba, who was reading and paid no attention to neither the teacher or anything else that's going on, he never did anyways. (Funny he still got straight A's, must be in his genius genes.) And also excluding Duke Dublin, (A/N: Ring: what's his JP name? Humm.. I DONNO!! *Crying*/ Yugi: *patted her on the head* chil… chil…) who sighed weakly, he was until that time doing something absolutely opposite from Seto- watching and listening the whole time both to the gain's chatters and sen-sai. How did he do that? Not even the greatest scientist on earth could explain the answer. Anyways, eventually he also was always grained pretty-good mark for all the subjects, not to mention the comments under the "Class participation" and "Listening skills" columns.
"Ops…" for a further accurate word to describe in Jou's mind- 'Shit'
Before their Sen-sai could send Jou out and time-out him. AGAIN!
There first was an-
"Ahhh-!!!" and then a-
"POOM!!!" finally a-
"Whoom!! GEEEEE!!~~~" (Sound of something sliding) noises cracking in the hall, in time the door busted open and in-came-sliding Yugi, slowly stopping but with his face still flat on the ground. It was to be expected that the teen had accidentally tripped when rushing, and slid the rest of the way to the door.
"Owoo…" The boy lifts his head and tenderly rubbed his nose. Now the attention of the class was focused on Yugi of the amusing attendance he intruded, all's eyes were wide, while he slowly got up and unsteady… poor, poor him. Yugi was suddenly alerted of the glare of the "he"-who-you-must-not-observe-excuses, Mr. Shokodai.
"Sorry about my late attendance! Sir! I mean, Sen-sai!" The soldier-like tone came out from nowhere, Yugi just naturally did it. He couldn't help it--- under the deadly leer of his teacher Yugi was too confused to even think about his movements, let-along doing them-
'I'm a dead boy-' Good thinking Yugi! You're catching on-! Finally.
To his first response was yet another broken laugh from the entire class, and the rest of his friends couldn't help but groaned weakly. They were all used to Yugi being deferred and him doing something amusing every time when he was- at it, the "slid-show" was just one of the many tricks Yugi had used to show up, well… as long as he did, it's normal. (Although today was an exception, Yugi was far passed his usual time, which were likely to be around 9 to 9:30, or right after his teachers took attendances.)
"Take your seat…" The man stood before him suddenly seemed to have aged a thousand year, already tired but also used to counting the number of delays of Yugi to his class, why the heck was his lesson set first period in the morning for this precise class? By who? Stupid principal! Or was it Vice-principal? He didn't even bother saying anything else as he had also forgotten about Jou's punishment.
(A/N: Jounouchi: Hip-hip-hurray for Jou~ (Ring: Huh? How did you…?) Yami: he's just a trespasser- Get out! / Jounouchi: *sniff* how mean~)
"Alright class, where were we…? Oh yes, Sir. Takahashi was…" Mr. Shokodai continued on talking about Kazuki Takahashi at the same time as Yugi settled himself at his desk.
"Yug'! Finally man, what took you so long?" Jou pissed, followed by the endless questions of his other friends, everyone were worried about something of their own business, except Bakura, who just yawned because- really, before the sen-sai came any closer to his sight he was just a sleeping figure, aside the fact that he was one of the MOST harebrained laugher just a minute ago.
Bakura, however, began hanging around with his aibou later on since… when? Well, he was finally grown to "appreciate" Ryou as his partner, that's all that matters now. Ryou also bossed him around usually to do something he didn't want to- that was the reason why he began school, no doubt. (Alike Yami, Bakura hated the place! You see, it's boring!! Boring! Darn boring~~ His favorite subject? Gym, just gym, cuz' the rest are just BORRRING!! Plus- weird? )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Bakura's Math HW flashback~
BA-"Why did anyone even bother inventing MATH?? Counting was all that anyone needed, right?? I mean what the hell IS adding, subtracting, multiplications and divisions?!?! And how can anyone read letters off MATH??? This is just- GRAA---!!!"
RY-"You just can't figure out how to work math… that's all. Come-on, I'll help you! Now let's continue on from your last question… where is it…? Ah… yep yep here it is! There- so 63 plus 95 minus 34 multiplied by 26 and plus again 90 divided by 2 equals-"
BA-"GRAHHHH MY HEAD HURTS!!!~"
~End flashback~ (A/N Yami: *smirked* Baka no Tomb robber~ / Iura: *Striaght eyes* I don't see how you do any better- / Yami: SHUT UP!!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm fine- Anzu!! No I didn't have a car accident! Hunda? Sorry cuz' no I haven't got you anymore booster decks! Hohiyo to you too, Ryou! Hai! Genki-de-su! (Yes! I'm fine!) Hey Bakura! Hey Kaiba! (He's ignoring me~) And what was your question again- Duke?"
Amazing, Yugi actually answered each and every one of the questions. That was an 8 out of 10 seeing as he failed to notice the one Duke asked him, additionally the leading one- asked by Jou.
"Never mind, it's alright, I was just wondering if you've finished the science assignment that's due today."
"What assignment?" Yugi's brain wasn't functioning properly, or was it even functioning at all? Guess he's still having a hard time to cope the headache from his- "trip"- to the room.
"What?! Don't tell me you forgot about it and didn't do it!! The one we worked together as partners! Remember?!"
"Huh? OH!!! That!!!" the red spiky-hair boy finally realized as he snorted unrealistically. "Of course I didn't! I was only joking! I have it! See? It's right here~!" Waving a piece of folded paper at Duke, and because his seat was rather far away from Yugi's, Duke really couldn't tell that it was in fact merely a folded sheet of blank paper. He bought the lie quiet as easily as how Yugi fake it.
'Hell I'm in trouble!'
Yes you are, Yugi. Anyone remember the last chapter? Which declared something about a piece of homework stuck beneath the pile of gym clothes from last week on Yugi's desk? That! Was the real copy of his so-call-didn't-leave-at-home's science assignment. (A/N: Ring: see? Rushing could only make things worst! So people, please remember… TO BE ON TIME!!! I know I need to practice on that…*mumbled the last sentence. *)
"THIS IS THE FINAL WARNING! The group over there! SHUT UP OR I'LL SENT YOU ALL OUT!!!" Mr. Shokodai meant time-out.
"Hai-!" the group frowned as they answered altogether, realizing how much louder they've became.
Well… that has been done was done, Yugi had decided to explain everything, anything he could come up with to Duke later, saving the WORST for LAST wouldn't hurt--- more, would it?
'And speaking of partner…'
It stoke him as Yugi remembered the answer to Jou's question, and at the same instance, the question, "What took you so long?"
"Hey Jou!" Yugi turned to Jounouchi, who seemed murky about being unnoticed for the-last-time.
"Yeah~?"
"Sorry Jounouchikun… I didn't mean to ignore you-"
"Oh stop it already!"
"Ok fine, well… you did ask me something… right?"
"Yeah, 'what took you so long?'"
"Well… it's Yami…" He paused as he remembered how oddly the pharaoh acted this morning, and for a minute he wondered why had Yami's expressions looked so dark, so… sad…? Was it all to his hallucination or what?
"What about Yami?" Everyone's attentions were now focused as their ears narrowed, all were engrossed as they heard the familiar name. Why wouldn't them? That name has not been mentioned for such a long time… everyone had almost forgotten about it even exits just like how Yugi did. (A/N: Ring: it even hurts me to hear anything like this… NO… Yami can't be forgotten!! / Yami: Gee thanks, but by the way… this is your story?)
'Yami?'
Finally, Seto kaiba's attention was bought, hearing the name of the one and only one who had outclassed the genius him in a Duel Monster game, the one who had ever came across his three BLUE-EYES-WHITE-DRAGONS as well as his god-card, OBELISK.
'What about that stupid pharaoh?'
As Ryou's dark half thought. Presumably Bakura had never learned to like the King of Games, also the lost leader of Egypt- thousands of years ago.
"Class! Your attention here PLEASE!" Mr. Shokodai announced and didn't give Yugi a chance to carry on, sending yet another disgusting glare to the group, the group that appeared to have at last noticed and took granted of his presents. He didn't really have to do that; if he must- he then really should sent one to each-and-everyone of the students in the class. Honestly, because no one, not anyone in that room other than himself seemed to appreciate him at all. (It didn't matter; he's always got his family who does.)
Another teacher had just entered and left the room a moment ago when no one was recompensing any awareness, leaving Mr. Shokodai behind with a piece of ID plus a gorgeous figure… leaning at the door…
All girls' eyes gleamed! And the guys' just wide! Finally the gang's with surprise and Yugi's came with stars of a lack of excitement!
"We have a NEW student!" As the man scribbled something on the board and read it aloud when he was done. "Yami, Mouto!"
(A/N: Ring: *hollered with excitement* bring in the KING OF GAMES!!)
Yami had changed from the clothed he slept with last night- an oversized t-shirt that so loose it bared most the skins of his upper body, and a pair of black, sexy boxer- to his favorites; (A/N: Ring: *drooled* sorry! *whipping the drool off plus blushed*) The blackest, and shiniest leather-chinos on earth. It was so tight, that it couldn't resist but to force shown completely to every details of the long, thrilling curves, and shapes of his sexy, muscular built legs. (A/N: Yami: *Blushed heavy* ENOUGH with the word "SEXY"!! / Yugi: *face bright red at the descriptions* but… *muttered* it's true…) At his upper body was yet another dark, leathered vest adorned with buckles, it was also tight, revealing the broad, firm shoulders, plus it was a little short at the same time. It was purposely designed to be short, as it was challenged to reveal a slight hint of its master's stomach, which was also well-developed.
The handsome pharaoh had his head low, allowing both the light and shadows to fight over for their territories on his face. His eyes were closed as he listened to the crowds' chatters and comments, annoyed by the screams from these obsessive girls, it was not meant for his tiredness but his naturally dank, and mysterious characteristics that corresponded with the meaning of his name- "Dark".
/Yami!/ Yugi's heart thumped and face heated as he saw his darker half, by both the reasons of graceful to see him plus something else, he didn't really know "What something else?" He didn't realize it, until it explained by itself to his reactions were kinnda the same thing with Yami's new fan-girls- drooling after Yami as he entered deeper into the room. What am I doing?? It's sad that Yugi had no idea, nor realizing still of how he really had felt for the young pharaoh, which was the same feeling Yami had for him… Yugi… why wouldn't you understand?
"Hum… interesting… so Yamichen, are you really actually brothers with Yugi Mouto?" Shokodai sen-sai said as he continued his work of examining Yami's fake ID paper, where did he get it? Well… the king of games had his own way.
"I mean… you both have the same last name… and not to mention, you- both look the… same?"
At this, a bolt seemed to have stricken everyone at the exact moment, guess the girls were just too busy drooling and guys mumbling curses of dislike under their breath, no one gave the impression to realize this obvious fact.
And of course, Jounouchi, Anzu, Hunda, Ryou, Bakura, Seto and Duke, everyone in the gang knew this well, so excluding them everyone else in the room continuously stared from Yugi to Yami, and Yami back to Yugi. Anzu, as one of the girls, just practically continued to drool nonstop at the sight of her long lost lover, who didn't love her back, that is.
"Right… Just returned from Egypt? Eh?"
Wrong! It's- lost in the memories of Egypt while his soul was here with Yugi the whole time! If only he knew… which of course he didn't. Yami's new ID had definitely faked it well. Pathetic human. As Kaiba assumed. (A/N: Ring: hey… aren't you a human too?)
"Well… according to the info I have here… Mr. Mouto-"
"Hai?"
"NOT you Yugi! Sit down!"
/How rude!/ Yugi complained and Yami chuckled lightly- Silly aibou~
"Anyways, according to the info I have here, Yamichen, I do believe that since you've just returned to Japan since… 7 year? Well… your Japanese might not be as good… Ja! Minna- san? Please help Yami to your best-"
"Ohiyo, Hachimemashida! Boku wa Mouto, Yami desu, ja, dozu yo ro shi kuu, o ne gai shi masu! (Good morning, first time meeting you! I'm Mouto Yami, then, I hope my presents had not brought you any trouble! And I wish we'd have a great time working together!)
Before the old man could finish, Yami interrupted his sentence. He was NOT happy of being said as a rookie, and so he defended the teacher by saying a whole line of the most accurate tongued Japanese. Stupid Shokodai, don't you know you could never insult the King of games? Or ever say anything like insults? AND you should NEVER! EVER look down at Egypt's number 18s Pharaoh!!
Once again the girls howled at the trilling tong of both Yami's voice and language spoken, shouting in disagrees at their teacher as he had underestimated their star. Things like:
"Oh my Kami!! He spoked!!"
"Oh shut-up!! He doesn't need any help!"
"Cutie!!!!"
"Look this way!!! This way!!!"
"Don't you thing he's sooooooooo cute?????"
"We know that!!"
"Hey look!! He winked at me!!!!"
"Oh- I think I'm ganna faint-!"
//And I think I'm ganna throw-up…//
Yugi giggled as he watched the other red, spiky- hair boy leaned closely to the walls, smiling at the fan girls both in a both fake and tired way.
/Oh come-on Yami~ aren't you happy that everyone likes you!/
And Yami took one gaze towards the audience. True, the girls LOVED him, also seeing that the guys were just glaring at him- with dark eyes, a few of their mouths kept opening and closing but he cannot hear them with all the girls' screams.
//You think~? // He sighed and looked even weaker.
//Besides you guys, everyone else in the room that's male seems to have a lot to speak about me under their breaths~ see? Even this one right beside me is having fun doing it- // He pointed to Mr. Shukudai, who's having a hard time calming the fan girls down and didn't notice he was being point at.
Yami was saying the truth, though! Mr. Shukudai has being mixing curses into every five words he spoke. And being the only one told, Yugi laughed so hard with his surrounding friends blinked confusingly at him and Yami just watched him with a soft, satisfied smile…
NO! He was not satisfied, impossible! How could he… ? Not with the limited time left for him to live, to be with his beloved aibou…
I need more time! As his heart wounded more at the thought, wishing for time with all his might. He'd never want to leave his dearest Yugi! I need… forever! His purpose of coming to school wasn't plainly just to listen to the girls annoying yells, he came, because he wanted to make Yugi happy… he waned his last moments to be the happiest moments of Yugi's life…!
Yami watched as Yugi resumed laughing, hard, innocently, not seeing the malicious fate as it too continued to torture his yami, As Yami remembered- 'The prophecy from the ancient time, will soon… comes to pass…'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At last! The fifteen minutes that seemed like forever passed and the bell ringed among the voices of girls.
At last! As Mr. Shokodia cheered silently and prepared to leave.
Their second period would be drama, one of Yugi's least liking subjects, yet today, with Yami around, drama totally became something different than just plain drama.
"Ohiyo! Minna-san!" Mrs. Tenbobo, the drama sen-sai greeted. (A/N: Yugi: another make-up name./ Iura: no doubt.)
Yami had took the seat in-between Jounouchi and Yugi, he didn't ask for much, anywhere's fine as long as he was next to his aibou. (A/N: Iura: *straight eyes* and you said you didn't ask much? / Yami: *grinned* Well…)
//Here- I believe you've been praying to Ra for this//
/Huh?/ Yugi took the piece of wrinkled paper from Yami's hand, then he could have screamed if Yami hadn't cover his mouth for him. Well… you see because, before him, was the boy's lost-science-homework.
/How did you know I was-??/
//Yugi~// Yami knocked his own forehead lightly- and pointed to his aibou's- ignoring once again the teacher's speech, and the surrounding girls' drools. (Not to mention, Anzu, one of the most revolting howler who's sitting right behind him, well… guess he didn't notice.)
//You forgot.//
/Huh? Oh yeah…/ The little one smirked softly as he recall that he and his yami could just hear each other's mind, even in a distance far away. It really didn't matter, even if Yugi hadn't pray for the paper, Yami doubtless would still pick up his homework for him from under his gym clothes. But still, it cannot hide the fact that their minds were the best communication tool there is on earth, especially at times when there were secretes they wanted to share, only with each other. (A/N: Ring: how sweet~/ Yami& Yugi:* blushed together~*)
At aside, Duke watched and wondered what the paper was, while both Yami and Yugi turned to grin at him and turned back. Why? He was confused, and the yami and hikari still sniggered under their breaths.
Jou and Hunda soon began scribbling questions in papers and threw them towards Yami when their new sen-sai wasn't looking, the balls missed Yami many times before the two arguing ones could throw properly. (Hunda and Jounouchi always disagrees with each other, remember?) Yami and Yugi had to slip from their seats to pick up the paper balls, and later they too threw some with responses. And in no time, the four boys began throwing paper balls at each other with no more purpose, just for fun. It's been a long time since they last joked about together like this, and Yami felt… he felt so… comfortable, he never did notice how much he loved his friends, Yugi's friends before, they were truly… the best.
Anzu, Duke and Ryou were the ones, who simply watched with interest- Damn that Pharaoh! While Bakura have this HUGE desire to join in with the game, but he didn't really want to allow the King of games to look at him like he was some kind of… moron, like them, and so, he struggled to relax himself by continuously muttering:
"That's just stupid, something that only the Baka Pharaoh would do! That's just stupid-"
And Yami chuckled at the sight of this miserable tomb-robber.
Seto Kaiba, meanwhile, just felt ashamed, pride-damaged because of being beaten by this… mentally retarded… human being! (A/N: Ring: he's not really a human anymore… you know?) God save me… He'd whisper tiredly.
And none was awarded of what really awaits them- next-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Yamichen?" as Mrs. Tenbobo read aloud unsurely from the attendance chart, causing Yami to drop a paper ball from his hand in alarm.
"Hai?" he quickly sat down as everyone's attentions turned to him.
And the female sen-sai looked glad that she spoke the right name. "Well Yami, I have wandered a long time to ask you whether you had taken any drama lessons in Egypt."
//Like hell I do.// There was yet another giggle from his side, where Yugi was sitting.
"Iie." He responded.
"Let him try!!!"
"Yeah!! Let him try!!!"
"King Ahoru!! Let him try King Ahoru!!"
The girls began shouting altogether in excitement once again, what's going on? What's King Ahoru? The pharaoh himself was a king… but does it have anything to do with the other king that they're talking about? He hadn't paid any attentions to the activities going on in the room and he didn't know what the teacher was really talking about.
//Aibou… what's going on?// Yami's head tiled to Yugi's side. //Who's this… King Ahoru?//
/Well… "The King's Wail", this is the play we're doing right now, and King Ahoru's the main character in the story// the little one smiled.
/Hehe… It looks like everyone had chosen you to act as King Ahoru./
Yami was shaken, What?! Act!? He's never acted in his whole live! Not what he know of it.
//What?! No way, you've got to be joking!// He was half terrified when Mrs. Tanbobo agreed to the fan girls' wishes, which again the guys just garbled curses.
/Don't worry!!/ Yugi sniggered more at the face of the nervous pharaoh; he stood up and began pushing Yami forward. /You'll be fine! And believe me, you will like the character Ahoru, after all, he's a king! Just like you once were! /
//But I-//
No time to chat anymore, Yami stood now in front of the whole class once again, he stared and stayed frozen while his hikari quickly ran back and took seat at where there was the best view. Yugi was however, enjoying with delight of what his yami was about to perform, and with no questions allowed, that darned teacher just handed Yami a copy of the scrip with brief descriptions of the story at the side, then she assigned him with Scene-32.
The pharaoh sighed once again weakly, eyeing the book of papers in his hand with disgust, how was he suppose to do this? The great pharaoh had never, ever act before! He was always the one to see his servants who act out a play in front of him because of the loyal families' own entertainments, although he didn't really remembered much of it, he was sure he had always found it boring. Now… everything's different! In this new world, new century that's totally different from his time, Yami would have to take his part as a servant, and ACT for Yugi.
The cheers from his fan girls disturbed him… not allowing him to focus on reading, so Yami had no choice but to ask his hikari yet some more questions… he sighed, again.
// O-k, fine… acting… right? I just act…//
/Yep! You bet!/
// Ja aibou… what's the story's plot, really? I can't concentrate with all these noise around me…//
/Hehe, neither can I if I were you… fine, well… "The King's Wail" took place in the time around the last century; it's basically about a King, King Ahoru, who fell for his own little sister, who also didn't have a clue of this feeling from her brother. They loved each other dearly but she had always loved him as only her brother, and nothing else./
//Un-huh- go on. //
/And in the end… the king finally realized that there can never be hope for him in the princess' eyes, and at the same time, also realized that he only had a few months of life left, due to a major disease, which what we call to day a cancer. Then because of so, the King struggled to hold back his unshakeable devotion of his feelings for his sister, at the same time fighting with the pain of the disease he carried… and I think Scene-32 was when Ahoru confess to the audience how hard the fate was to pressured him… Yami…? Are you listening…?/
There was no response…
Yami stood cold, frozen, and terrified. No way… As he followed Yugi's saying from the scrip, and he couldn't believe his eyes, his ears. Oh god, why the hell are you doing this to me… ?! I can't act this thing! The hell!? Why are you tormenting me like this!?
This wasn't a scrip!? It couldn't be! Even this book, these papers were annoying him! How could it be just a story?! True, there were some differences about this theme, yet, WHY was it so much… so much like- like the situation that he… was in…?
How? Can anyone "act" if it were to them… reality?
I can't…
/ Yami…? / Yugi blinked that he didn't know WHAT pain, was Yami suffering at the moment. He watched as the pharaoh lowered his head, his mouth mumbled silently at the lexis from the paper, and shadows once again overtaken his appearance. Something shined from behind the hairs that covered most his face, close to the eyes, and they looked like… waters? No! Tears…!
/Yami!?/ Yugi's heart thumped harder and faster- Something's wrong!
Panicked, Yugi wanted to put a stop to this, what's happening to Yami? Does he hate to act THAT much?
No one noticed what Yugi did about what's happening to his brother, not even the gang. However, before Yugi could stand up and stop Mrs. Tanbobo, who was again busy calming the crazy girls of this wild class down, Yami took the action.
"I called-!" it was a start as the pharaoh bellowed, and everyone froze at his sudden action, so did Yugi, yet soon they realized it was the drama they prayed for.
"Upon the most honored one! Thy who all worshiped! Hear my cry, oh great one!"
Yami's heart burned with sorrow and tears as he continued, his emotions had already overwhelmed him, let along his expressions, which were as real as anyone could ever define if it was just Yami who's skillful in acting, or… something else...
Hear me aibou! this is my play-
"What have I done? Why is thy torturing me with my fate?
Oh hear me, my anger! And my sorrow
Has man ever looked desecrated at you?
Had one not came back to you at their deaths?
Thy who created life
Has come to retreat mine-
(Yugi… where are you when I needed you…?)
One hopeless man who hid once in deep sorrow
And in the love he had for his dear sister
As hopeless as he may see
He still prayed with all his might that one day-
You would forgive all his sins and hold him once again in thy arms
(Did you know? When I was in pain…?)
But no!
The god who was like devil played with the life of that one man
Toyed with his life, and
Shattered his hopes
Dreams
And everything else
(Don't you know? I'm about to loose you…)
Thy had once clamed-
'All shall have love
Have hatred
For those were the gifts from I'
Yet thy had forbidden me to love my sister
Forbidden me to hate thy
(Yugi!)
All I asked… were love and forever
Are they too much?
Even for thy?
(Listen to me! Hear my cry!)
Take this pain! Yank it away from me!
Keep it away!
Let me come back to Thy!
Grant me the love for me to embrace my sister!
No! Thy can take life from me!
Just take it!
In place to allow me to love my princess!
Let her love me back!
(Look this way! Just look into me!)
I promise!
I'll bring her happiness!
I'll never make her cry!
Until the final second-
Of my unfortunate life-
(Yugi! Can't you see!? You're about to loose me-!)"
The drama was amazing, Yami gave a finally bow as he faced the audience without any more words spoken. For the minute when everyone was still clapping, especially the girls, shouting, "Encore!! Brovo!!"
That moment, his and his hikari's eyes met.
/Y-Yami…?/
//…//
The pharaoh didn't reply as he just gazed at his hikari into the eyes, there was so much, so much more to say, to confess, but how? Could he possibly do that without hurting Yugi at all? At the moment, Yami couldn't think of anything but his sweet hikari, eyeing him with sorrow and his tears were already dry…
Yugi also didn't speak anything else, his heart beat so fast and his face was hot- Something's wrong… Yami's definitely not the same! He had the feeling but didn't realize that Yami truly, was "acting" directly to him.
