Yami: Unseeing Eyes

Yami awoke early the next morning. He had had hardly any sleep, due to the previous night's events. Yugi was still fast asleep beside him, having used up most of his energy through the Puzzle. Yami carefully got out of bed, making sure he didn't wake Yugi, an then went downstairs.

Ryou and Bakura were asleep in the front room, but he couldn't see Joey anywhere. He wandered through to the kitchen, searching for the blonde teen. He was quickly found, asleep on the kitchen floor. Yami was puzzled by this, but then saw that Joey was asleep in front of the shelf that held the knives. Smiling, Yami shook Joey out of his slumber. "Just ten more minutes..." Joey mumbled. Yami poked him in the cheek. "Go away..." Joey said. Yami grinned, a sudden thought coming to his mind. He poked Joey again. "Joey?" he said. "Are you awake? Guess not. That means NO PIZZA!!!" Joey jumped up instantly, and stood up, looking down at Yami, who was rolling with laughter on the floor. "Ha ha. Very funny. As the King of Games, you couldn't come up with anything better?" Joey said. "You've been around Bakura too long." said Yami, standing up. "Yami, shut up, you'll wake the others!" Joey said, acting unusually mature.

"Too late." Ryou said. He had obviously just woken up. "Bakura's still asleep." "So is Yugi." said Yami. "Do you want me to wake Bakura up?" Ryou nodded, and hid a smile. "Sure. Go ahead." Yami, thinking that this was rather suspicious, walked through to the front room, and to the couch where Bakura was sleeping. "Bakura, are you going to get up?" Yami said. Bakura snored. "Pig." said Yami, walking a little closer, and crouching down so that he was looking into Bakura's sleeping face. Cautiously, he reached out and poked Bakura's cheek. Nothing. So he poked him again, and little harder. Still nothing. Yami, again, poked him even harder. This time, Bakura moved, stretching his arm out to punch Yami in the face, and then roll over. Yami reeled back, ending up sitting on the floor. "Even when he's asleep he hurts... now I know why Ryou was so keen to let ME wake him up!"

He heard a few stifled laughs from the door. Before the faces darted away, he noticed that Yugi was up, and had been told by Ryou to watch. "RYOUUU!" yelled Yami, running into the kitchen. "Yami, you looked so funny!" said Yugi, laughing so hard he was crying. "Yeah, I wish you could've seen the look on your face when Bakura hit you!" Joey said. "I should have told you, usually I just leave him lying there!" Ryou added. "You guys are SO mean sometimes!" Yami yelled. "Hey, Pharaoh, keep it down, would ya? Honestly, they probably only made you Pharaoh because all of Egypt could here you at once!" said Bakura's voice from the door. "By the way, I was woken up by you and Joey. I was just waiting for the right moment to do th..." Bakura never got to finish, because he suddenly found Yami's fist in his face. "I take it back." he mumbled, checking that all his teeth were still there. "I feel so much better." said Yami.

"And so do I." said Yugi. "I'm glad you're normal again. Now, does anyone mind if I do and watch TV?" "Nope. As long as I can come with ya!" said Joey, following his friend through the door, and onto the couch. Yugi picked up the remote control, and flicked it on. "I love this show!" said Joey. "There's a guy that looks like me in it."

Yami stood in the kitchen, watching some of Yugi's show out of the corner of his eye. (AN: Three guesses. Which show is it?) "That show's just weird." said Yami. "It seems so... unreal." "Hey! I like that show!" said Ryou, bopping into the front room. Yami and Bakura shrugged, and went to sit with their friends.

Just then, the doorbell rang. It was Tea and Tristan. Yami jumped up to answer the door. "Hiya, Yami! We guessed that Ryou and Joey were here, because they weren't at their houses." said Tea. She heard a bit of the music from the TV, and leaned over so that she could see what it was. "Oh, you're not watching that stupid show, are you?" "Make way for Tristan!" said Tristan, running into the room, and dropping down next to Joey. "The best character in this show has got to be Honda!" he said. "No way! It's Jounouchi!" Joey protested. "I like Anzu." said Yugi from his chair. Tristan and Joey looked at him. "I would have thought you'd like that kid there. I've forgotten his name. The one with really spiky hair." said Joey, pointing. "No, that guy's the best!" said Bakura, pointing out a taller version of the boy that Joey had forgotten the name of.

"In my opinion, they're all stupid." said Tea. "That one that Yugi likes, she's so... so... corny." "Yeah, I agree. Come on, maybe we can convince them to put some decent programming on." said Yami.

What an ironic chapter. I needed a TV show for them to watch, so they're watching the original version of Yu-Gi-Oh! It cracks me up for some reason. Probably when Bakura says that Yami's his favourite character. And that Joey doesn't know the name of the main character. That is, Yuugi. Sorry if I'm assuming you all know their japanese names. I'll just write them here. Yugi = Yuugi Yami = Yami (How boring) Joey = Jounouchi Tristan = Honda Tea = Anzu (Yami) Bakura = Um... Bakura? (In English he's Bakura. In this fic he's Ryou) Ryou = Ryou Bakura. Well, I had to put some humour in... that's just the way I am, and the reason I can't write angst fics!
