I'm a mad at the moment so please excuse any errors, i typed this up once, file didn't save not too happy about typing it again....
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The holidays had passed and everything was back to normal. Okay, Okay so the Mouto's were busy cleaning up left over egg shells from Yami's escapades and Jou and Honda had Yami play paintball with them against the Senior class and the all learned an important lesson: Yami and a paintball gun do not mix, neither do Yami and pixie-sticks, but now that is a story better left for another time...
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lately, Yami did nothing but sit up in Yuugi's room and stare out the window. The truth of the matter was that he felt rather used. He of course loved his Aibou and would do anything to protect him, but he wanted more. He wanted to be like everyone else. He'd watch a group of teenagers pass by outside without a care in the world. He wished that he could be as nonchelant, but he knew deep down that it would never be.
He sighed as he pressed his hand against the cool glass of the bedroom window.
'I wish I could remember all of my past. I wish there was someway for me to go back in time.' He stopped his train of thought and shook his head. 'That's nonsense, Yami.,' he corrected himself, 'There is no way to go back in time...perhaps I am not meant to...'
He sighed once more, his breath on the window caused it to fog up for a moment.
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anzu stood on the sidewalk below, looking up at the window Yami was standing in front of.
'He looks so sad...but most of all he looks lost.'
She continued to watch him knowing that he was oblivious to her being there.
'...Yami...,' she sighed, 'Yuugi told me you've been depressed lately and that he's worried about you...I don't know how I can help you, but I know that I have to try. I can't stand seeing you so sad.'
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yami moved away from the window, he could sense his Aibou trying to talk with him through their mind link, but he just did not feel like talking.
'Gomen Nasai, Aibou, but with my future so unclear to me I'd rather not talk to you...I don't understand what I am; what I'm doing here, or my purpose for being released from the Millenium Puzzle.,' he thought to himself.
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yuugi had told Anzu to go ahead upstairs and talk to Yami. Yuugi knew if anyone could get through to Yami then it would be her.
She had knocked on the bedroom door at least three times already. Finally she figured she had better just open the door slowly.
As she opened the door and peeked her head in her eyes fell on him.
He was now sitting on Yuugi's bed. One of his legs was propped up so that his chin was rested on his knee; his other leg lay flat on the bed. She noted that he seemed to be deep in thought.
'Maybe I should just come back later?'
As she took a step back the hardwood floor creaked.
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Eye of Horus appeared on his forehead as he continued to look in the same direction as before.
"Hello, Anzu. Is there something you needed?," he asked her in an almost monotone tone of voice.
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She stopped and was almost shocked by his tone of voice; it was as if he didn't care if she were there or not.
'That doesn't sound like the Yami I've grown to know over the past months.'
She turned around and faced him. He hadn't even acknowledged her being there.
"I cam to see if you were alright, but if you don't want me here then I'll just leave and go back home."
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yami sighed and turned his attention to her. He could see hurt and annoyance lingering on her facial features.
"Gomen Nasai, Anzu....please forgive me. Lately, I've been thinking a great deal about the mysteries of my past."
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anzu's face lightened and she smiled a small smile as she took a seat next to him on the bed.
"It must be hard, not to mention frustrating to have your future so unclear to you."
She could see just how depressed he really was and thought that now would be a good time to change the subject.
"...So...Jou and Honda tell me that they took you to go paintball'ing with them...how'd that go?"
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yami thought about this and then realization dawned on him.
"Oh, the weapon that fires the balls; it went well.," he replied with a small smile.
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Jou and Honda said that you beat the seniors. I think that's great and all," part of her thought it was a little dangerous but boys will be boys, plus she had seen Yami's aim, "no class has ever beaten them before."
Yami arched an eye brow at her. "Seniors?"
"Yeah, who did you think you were competing against?," Anzu replied with a question and a puzzled look.
"Jou and Honda told me we were competing against Santa's little helpers.," he stated, just as serious as could be.
". . . . . ." Anzu blinked, she couldn't believe it. 'Damn you boys; you'd do anything to win.' "Yeah of course you were playing against...Santa's...little...helpers.," she managed to choke out the words. "They...uh...just...sometimes...well they..."
"They use the name "seniors" to hide their true identities?," asked Yami oblivious to all.
Anzu sweatdropped and just couldn't bring herself to steering Yami in any other direction. "...mmm....hmmm....," she replied with a smile and a nod. 'Thank God, Christmas only comes once a year.'
@-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I'm sure Aibou told you to come over, am I correct?," Yami asked arching an eye brow.
'Aibou? Oh! Yuugi, of course.' Anzu smiled at the thought. 'He really cares for Yuugi.' "Yes he did, Yami. Yuugi's really worried about you."
"I don't mean to worry him, Anzu. I just feel that with so much of my past being a mystery that the less he has to deal with the better off he'll be. He shouldn't have to worry about people like Pegasus coming after him because of myself and the Millenium Puzzle. I sometimes wonder if I should just find a way to leave him."
Anzu couldn't believe what she was hearing. Yami wanted to leave them? Leave Yuugi?? Leave her???
'What am I thinking about myself for? What would Yuugi do without Yami?' "You can't!," she blurted out, much to her surprise and Yami's.
"Pardon?"
"...You...can't...leave..." Anzu blushed looking down at her hands which were in her lap. "...Yuugi would be devastated if you left..."
Yami blinked in surprise. 'Aibou? Devastated?' "Anzu, I'm sure that Yuugi would be fine without me."
"Actually, Yami, I don't think he would be. Before you came he was always being bullied, he never stood up for himself, and I've noticed a change in him."
"A change?"
"It's a good one, Yami. Yuugi now stands up for himself~~you've done a lot for him whether you know it or not.," she explained.
"...I see...," he began, "Well I may have influenced him to stand up for his beliefs, but at what price? Pegasus would have never taken Yuugi's Grandfather's soul if the Millenium Puzzle and myself were not around. I fear that Pegasus was only the beginning."
"...Oh..." Anzu sighed trying to think of what she could possibly say to make light of the subject. It was the truth though and she and Yami both knew it. Yuugi's life would be threatened if Yami stayed in it; but would it be better without him?
"Yami, I think that your leaving him now would be worse than anything anyone else could possibly do to him. He loves you, Yami.," she explained with a smile on her face. "Don't tell Jou," she whispered and then winked, "but I think you've become his bestfriend."
Yami blinked and then smirked. "You know I could rub that in Jou's face, Anzu."
"Don't you dare!," she yelled at him, not angry, more with an "I don't want to die!" tone.
Yami smirked and took her hand in his. "Don't worry, Anzu; I'll protect you from Jou's evil rath. If you're lucky he'll forget about it by lunch time, or better yet, we may see him chasing after the ice cream truck."
Anzu couldn't help but laugh and then looked down at their hands. His hand was still holding hers; she could feel a small blush creep onto her cheeks.
"Yami...would you....like to..."
"Get out and go somewhere else?," he asked finishing her sentence.
Anzu nodded and blushed even more. "We could see a movie or uh...go to the card shop downtown...it's up to you."
"Up to me, hmmm?," his smirk softened to a smile, "Let's go to the card shop and then see where the road takes us, alright?"
"S-sure. The day is full of possibilities."
