"Heart's Desire"
Chapter Three
"Another Millennium Item?"
Cherry: Hurray! I got a lot of reviews this time!! Yay!!!!!
Yugi: (sighs with relief)
Yami: Congrats, Cherry. I guess this means that people do like your story.
Cherry: It does, doesn't it? (does a happy dance all around the room) People like my story! People like my story!
Yugi and Yami: (anime sweatdrop)
Yugi: Anyway, before she decides to hug me again, let's start the story.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
\ It's weird. I wouldn't have seen it in her eyes if I hadn't been looking for it, but there was definitely something strange about her, / Yugi thought to Yami during class after lunch. He looked over to Kaelyn. She was taking notes, but obviously not interested. Yugi never would have guessed anything strange about her from that; she looked like half the girls in class.
\\ That's why I pointed it out to you, Hikari, // Yami thought back. \\ I sensed something weird about her when Joey challenged her to that duel. //
\ And she wiped Joey out so fast. It was almost like the magic of a Millennium Item, but that's impossible. We know where all the Millennium Items are, and she doesn't have one of them, right? / Yami didn't answer. \ Yami? / He sensed Yami's hesitation. \ Yami, what is it? / Yugi demanded.
\\ Er, what would you say if I told you there were once eight Millennium Items? // Yami asked Yugi reluctantly.
Yugi had to stop himself from yelling out loud. He didn't see Kaelyn glance at him out of the corner of her eye. \ What do you mean, an eighth Millennium Item? / Yugi mentally screamed.
Yami didn't seem too eager to answer, at least, not until Yugi threatened, \ If you would rather not have any chocolate cake for dessert tonight . . . / Yami groaned. His biggest weakness besides his friends was his chocolate addiction.
\\ Okay, okay. Before I got sealed into the puzzle, there was one last sorcerer, or should I say sorceress, to be dealt with. Her name was Neferti, and she held immense power, a power that could have rivaled mine. She, too, wanted to control the powers of the Shadow Realm for her own purposes, so I had to seal her soul away like I did the others. // Yami stopped there, and Yugi felt an odd sort of pain coming from him.
\ Something wrong? / he asked.
\\ No, nothing, // Yami said.
Yugi chose not to push the subject. \ What was the eighth item? / he asked instead.
\\ It was a sword, // Yami answered.
Yugi decided to stop. There was now definitely a pronounced pain coming from Yami, and he didn't want to make it worse. Instead, he tried to decide how to find out if Kaelyn had the other Millennium Item.
The last bell rang, shaking Yugi from his thoughts.
"Okay, class, see you on Monday, and don't forget your homework!" Ms. Haruna said cheerfully.
The class made a beeline for the door, but Yugi and Kaelyn lagged behind a little, gathering their things. As Yugi started to leave, a giggle from Kaelyn behind him stopped him.
"Yugi, you are a bit stupid, you know that?" Kaelyn said.
Yugi raised an eyebrow at her. "What do you mean by that?"
"I mean that you shouldn't talk to Yami in the middle of class, or you could miss something that could make you fail." Kaelyn giggled at Yugi shocked expression. "I do have the sword, you know. You can just tell Yami that Neferti hasn't forgotten what he did to her, and she wants to pay him back." She gave Yugi an affectionate smile. "But I promise, Yugi, that I won't let her hurt you. You're my friend. I won't let her harm you."
She kissed Yugi on the cheek and was out of the classroom before Yugi could process another thought. He ran after her immediately, but was stopped by Tea.
"Hey, Yugi, come on! I thought we were all going to get some pizza after school," she reminded him.
"Yeah. Pizza," Yugi mumbled, barely listening. Tea caught his tone of voice.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
Yugi looked at Kaelyn quickly disappearing figure down the hallway, then turned to Tea and said, "I have got something really important to tell you all. I tell you when we catch up with Joey and Tristan."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Cherry: That chapter was a little straightforward, but I think it's appropriate.
Yami: Sure. Hey, why didn't you explain what was going on with me?
Cherry: Because it's a surprise, silly!!
Yugi: I hope it's a good one. This story needs to keep up the quality.
Cherry: You like the story too, then?
Yugi: (smiles) Of course I do.
Cherry: (hugs Yugi)
Yugi: ACK!!!!
Yami: (shakes head) Keep the reviews coming. Maybe she'll let go of Yugi if she get more reviews.
