Shades of a soul - [ Act II ]
By: Lily Maxwell
~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~:^:~
Yami sat on his desk, gazing out of the window, as the teacher had given them a break after a horrible session of hard-killing work. The rain fell down on the glass, Yami's lost and sorrowful gaze looking at each raindrop that made its way to the cool surface of the window.
He kept thinking about the boy, his eyes slightly narrowing in thought, still wondering about him. He wished he could see him again... but last night he couldn't find him. His eyes had been lost and unfocused since then.
His friends looked at him strangely, thinking on what would drive Yami so away from the world around him. Sure he was quiet, sure he drifted himself from the others... But he has been a little too much silent lately. He hasn't even moved at all since the first class!
"Yami, what's wrong?" his closer friend Seto Kaiba asked, and when Yami's gaze kept lost, he sighed, glaring at his friend. "Yami, what is wrong?" he asked more firmly this time.
"Earth to Yami, are you there?!" Bakura asked, waving his hand in front of his face, finally getting some progress and making Yami come back from "Lala Land" (A/N: I like the term, dun mind me ^^U).
"Sorry, did you say something?" he asked, eyes still slightly narrowed, unfocused.
"You seem troubled Yami, is something wrong?" asked Mai, the only girl in the group (A/N: Why did I mind putting her in?... Oh well, guess someone had to be caring in there).
"I'm fine..." he answered, looking back out of the window.
Malik, the last one of the group, looked through the window too, trying to see anything amusing that would drift Yami from Earth.
"Dude, look at that hot girl walking on da street! I bet Yami's been looking at her the whole time!" Malik said smirking. Bakura walked to his side, and saw the girl, then rolled his eyes.
"Man, that's Chris... I wouldn't talk like that if I were you..." Bakura said, while Seto gritted his teeth.
"You'd better watch your tongue, Malik..." he whispered menacingly, and Malik sweatdropped.
"Heh, sorry Seto, I didn't recognize your girl from here..." he tried to apologize, and the CEO just glared at him.
Yami ignored all their ranting, and just kept looking through the window, the rain getting harder by the seconds. Looked like... the day he met the boy.
'Why can't I stop thinking about him?' he thought, blinking his eyes, trying to keep the confusion away.
'Cause you're curious to know more about him. He intrigues you.' His inner voice replied, and he sighed. Meanwhile, Mai looked at him, studying his very actions, the lost glance.... the eyes narrowed, wondering somewhere else...
"Awww, I know! I got it!" she exclaimed happily, jumping up and down. All the 4 boys looked at her.
"You do?" asked Seto, and she nodded, and ruffled Yami's hair.
"He's got someone!! And can't keep his thoughts off of the person!!" she giggled, and Yami raised one eyebrow.
"I don't get it." Malik said, rubbing his head. Bakura hit him on the back of his head. "Ouch! Hey!!"
"She meant he's in love, dumbass." Bakura hissed, and Malik's eyes showed understanding. (A/N: lol, didn't I make Malik stupid in here? ^^U Oh well, I know nothing about him anyway...) Yami just sighed, and shook his head, looking back at the outside. Mai blinked.
"What? I'm wrong?" she asked, and Bakura hit his forehead, while Malik nodded vehemently, Seto crossing his arms.
"Looks like it." Seto answered, and Mai pouted.
"So, are you going to tell us or what, Yami?" Bakura asked, crossing his arms in annoyance, but the teen just sighed. Everyone sighed as well.
"Feel free to tell us anytime you want then..." Seto said and walked away, the others following him.
'I wish I could see him again... Maybe today...' he kept thinking, until he heard someone calling out his name.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAMIIIIIII!!!" came the annoying voice, and whoever was near winced, feeling suddenly very sorry for poor Yami Muoto.
This one whimpered silently to himself, while looking up at the annoying girl now standing beside him, a bright smile on her face, ready to throw herself at him at the first chance she got.
"What is it, Anzu?" Yami asked annoyed, while Malik and Bakura's snickers could be heard in the background, and Seto sighed.
"You seem sooooo distant today, what's the problem?" she asked, while titling her head to the side in what she thought was a cute way.
"That...." Yami began, wanting to kill her there and now. "Is not of your business." He replied, looking away.
"Is something bothering you?" she asked again in that annoying tone of voice of hers, totally ignoring (or missing) his reply. "You know, you could always share... With your friends' support, you'll be feeling much better. Nothing works better than friendship and..."
'Gods, doesn't she ever stop?' Yami asked himself.
'Won't she ever shut up?!' his inner voice replied, and Yami felt like dying there. It could be a good way out...
The whole depressing Friday seemed rainy and cold, the autumn wind trying to blow one's bones away, freezing one's heart to death. The rain seemed to never stop, as if the clouds wanted to cry their sorrows away.
Yami, bored, depressed and frustrated, walked through the same path that evening, knowing that it was not to get home earlier... Just because of him. His eyes wondered around hopeful, the lost glance wanting to be found again in the amethyst eyes of the stranger he had met before.
He stopped by the big oak tree where he had first talked to the boy. He had an umbrella this time, he knew better than walk around pleading for some illness to come and get him.
He touched the trunk of the tree, his thoughts filling his being with too many emotions at once. Hope, curiosity, frustration, anguish... His eyes were so dull cause he once again didn't find the boy, he was ready to leave, when...
He heard someone giggling behind him. His eyes wondered up, slight startled. He turned around slowly, his mind and heart willing the very same thing. He spotted his object of curiosity and... affection?... staring up at him, meeting his ruby eyes just as he got sight of his own amethyst ones.
The boy's eyes shone with a strange glow, some unknown bliss, and Yami found himself smiling down at him. Yami was taken back when the boy hugged him tightly, his head resting on his chest, arms around his middle. Yami blinked a little, then the boy looked up at him, smiling, eyes watery.
"You... came back..." he whispered, hugging Yami again.
The taller of the two smiled again, hugging the boy himself, feeling the same thing drawing him to the boy, the umbrella laying on the mudded ground, the wind caressing his cheek, along with the soft raindrops.
"I never said I wouldn't. You're the one who came back to me." he smiled, and felt the boy hug him tightly. He didn't mind it. Not now.
