High School Days Chapter 16 Come again?
School is officially out. Summer has defiantly started. You want to know how you can tell? Gee I wonder could it be the fact that kids were hanging out at the beach and malls or maybe the fact that girls were buying new bathing suits to impress the guys or the guys showing off their bodies to impress the girls. It could just be the fact that the weather got warmer or there were more kids roaming the streets during the day. That or it's just me, a young authoress daydreaming that she rather still be on summer vacation and not stuck in school. But never the less school was out and kids were having the time of their lives.
Somewhere in the proud city of Domino, in a little game shop, a boy laid on couch listening to music. Strangely it wasn't all rock or all pop, but an odd assortment of things. Little bit of rock here and there, some musical (two of which sounded very familiar), even a bit of romance songs. It's hard to explain that in that CD itself explained a good part of what happened to this boy over that pass half year.
~*~
Yami laid on the couch listening to the CD that Hoshi made for him before she left. He was waiting for his hikari and his friends to come back. They went out for some food shopping while Yami finished the rest of his chores. He took longer on them cause he knew that Tea would drag them to the mall before going food shopping. Not wanting get stuck carrying bags he took longer and insisted that they on ahead without him and that he would wait here. He tried to warn his hikari but Yugi had left before he could.
Ashidori mo karukushite chao chao Torumono mo toriaezu chao chao Raion ga unaru mitai no raimei ga Taisan wo unagashite iru Dou naru no? Sou...mou sugu ame {Footsteps are lightly taken, chao chao But hurrying anyway, chao chao The thunder like a lion's roar Prompts a dispersion. What's going on? That's right...the rain's coming.}
Dai kirai ame nanka chao chao Mou sukoshi itai noni Kaikan ga kaisan ni kawaru shunkan wo Raion ga isogaseta no wa Meihaku No! Meiwaku It's gonna rain! {I really hate the rain, chao chao I wanted to stay here a little longer, chao chao In the instant when the pleasant sensation was changed, When the lion made me hurry It was obvious, No! Annoying. It's gonna rain!}
So now he was waiting for his Aibou and friends to return from Tea's shopping spree and food shopping. He was also waiting for the mail to arrive. Supposedly Hoshi's letter was coming today. She had send him an e- mail saying her computer was going haywire so she was going to use snail mail until she could convince her father to buy her a new laptop. That or have a computer expert tell her what was wrong since she couldn't figure it out herself.
Ame wa mou aribai wo kesu no? Kare wa mou wasurete shimau no? Futari wa mou korekiri ni naru no? Subete wa ame no seitte koto ni shite okou {Has the rain erased his alibi? Did he already forget? Is this all the two of us will become? Let's make all of this the rain's fault.}
Kare kara no renraku wa Nothing Nothing Ame ni yoru kyoukun mo Nothing Nothing Kanjou mo igirisu no tenki mitai ni Utsurigi dattara totemo Raku nanoni...gyaku na no It's gonna rain! {As for calls from him, Nothing Nothing And lessons from the rain too, Nothing Nothing If my mind would change Like the weather in England That would be a relief...but it's the opposite. It's gonna rain!}
Of course he forgot to tell Yugi and the other about Hoshi. Yami half wondered how they would react. He knew that Yami Bakura would be laughing his head off until Yami told him who Hoshi was really. Seto would be doing something similar though not aloud. Yugi would be in several degrees of shock. That probably would go the same for everyone else beside Joey and Mai.
Ame ga netsu wo yomigaeraseta Kare mo futo watashi wo omoidashita Futari wa ima koko ni michibikareta Subete wa ame no sei, uun, okage na no {The rain has made my fever return. But he also suddenly remembered me. The two of us were guided to here now. It's all the rain's fault, no, thanks to it.}
Ame wa hito wo yondari keshitari Dare yori mo tegowai majishan ne Futari wa itsumo damasarete bakari Subete wa ame de hajimarun deshou... {The rain calls people and makes them disappear-- A magician stronger than anyone. The two of us had merely been fooling each other; And didn't everything start in the rain.}
Across the room he hear grandpa unpacking the new shipment of Duel Monster cards. Yami would have helped him but grandpa said he wanted to do this shipment alone.
It's gonna rain! {It's gonna rain!}
Just as it turned to the next song, Yami hear the door open. True to his guess all the boys came in holding bags of clothes and food. Yugi and Ryou did get the better of the deal having the smaller of the bags. However Yami Bakura (who came out of his soul room at the wrong time), Seto, Joey, and Tristan had majority or the bags. Yami smirked to himself as he watched his rival, the tomb robber, and two of his best friends struggle to balance all of Tea's bags. Yami got up to help his Aibou and Ryou with their bags. But before he did he grabbed the camera, which so happened to be lying on the table next to him and snapped a picture of them all balancing their bags.
kagirinaku tsudzuku ankoku no sora hibiwarete-yuku enrai no oto tachidomaru tabi ashimoto ga yureru {Dark sky that stretches out limitlessly The sound of distant, cracking thunder. Whenever I stand, my steps sway.}
"Yami could you please stop taking pictures and give us a hand here," groaned Joey.
"I agree with the mutt," muttered Seto.
"Yeah a little help would be need right about now," said Tristan.
"Sure guys. Just wait until I help Yugi with his packages," said Yami. He walked over to Yugi and took a few bags from him. Setting the food stuff on the kitchen counter and Tea's stuff on the table, he made his way back to Ryou and took a few more packages as Yugi finished putting his away.
"Thanks Yami," said Yugi and Ryou.
atatakai hito no kotoba wo karite natsukashii hi no sugata wo karite oshiyosete-kuru akuyume-tachi Nightmare! {Borrowing the words of a warm person Borrowing the form of nostalgic days Bad dreams step ever closer. Nightmare!}
"Well Pharaoh we're not getting any younger here," grumbled Yami Bakura. Yami smirked as Yugi and Ryou went to help Joey and Tristan.
*Gee I wonder whom I should help. Seto, my rival or Bakura, the tomb robber,* thought Yami.
"Here Seto I'll take a few of those bags," said Yami. He took the lightest ones.
fushigi na koe tsumetai te yami kara call me nandomo call me { A strange voice, a cold hand... From out of the darkness, they call me. Again and again, they call me.}
ittai nani ga tadashikute. ittai nani ga machigai na no ka! omoide-tachi yo! ima sugu kono kurayami wo terashite kure! { What in the world is right? What in the world is wrong? Memories! Please, illuminate this darkness immediately!}
"Gee thanks Yami," Seto half mumbled as he noticed that even after Yami took some bags his load still wasn't any lighter.
Both he and Yami Bakura stumbled into the kitchen and just dropped the bags on the floor. Luckily both of them didn't have any of groceries.
taisetsu na hito wo mamoru tame nara kono karada-goto kizutsuite ii kono kokoro-goto moete ii { If it's to protect someone precious to me, it's OK if this body of mine is wounded it's OK if this heart of mine burns.}
kagirinaku tsudzuku ankoku no sora hibiwarete-yuku enrai no oto madowasareru na me ni utsuru mono ni { Dark sky that stretches out limitlessly The sound of distant, cracking thunder Don't be fooled by what you see.}
"You planned this didn't you," Yami Bakura accused Yami.
"Nope. Had nothing to do with this. I didn't know that Tea was going to take you guys shopping. Good thing I did stayed home then," said Yami.
/Yami./
//I had a hunch. I tried to warn you that Tea might take you guys shopping.//
/Oh./
"Oh c'mon guys it wasn't that bad," said Tea.
kizusuita mirai oitsumeru no wa kudakareta asu fuminijiru no wa kono mune ni aru ayafuya sa Love { My heart is uncertain if it should track down the wounded future or tread on the broken tomorrow. Love}
"You did drag us in there for two hours," said Joey.
"Yeah," Tristan commented.
"You also weren't the ones carrying your bags," grumbled Seto.
"Can't a girl do a little shopping once in a while," argued Tea.
//Of course as long as it doesn't have to drag us in at the same time.//
/*giggle* I agree Yami. Tea's shopping habit gets out of hand most of the time./
//Yes I've been on that end too many times.//
anata no koe yasashii te yume kara call me nandomo call me { Your voice, your gentle hands They call me from out of these dreams. Always, they call me.}
hageshii ame ni utarete mo tsumetai kaze ni sarasarete mo hikari wo motomete yamanai ano juboku no takumashisa omoishiru { Even when struck by the fierce rain Even when blown by cold winds Seeking the light I think of that tree's strength}
"By the way Yami, what CD is this," asked Ryou.
"Nothing but mixed stuff. This one is called Nightmare. It's almost over. Next is Sayonara wa Mirai no Hajimari," said Yami, "The song that was playing before you guys came in was It's Gonna Rain."
"It sounds really nice," said Yugi. "Where did you get it?"
Joey grinned. "I know," he said. "Hoshi gave to you, right?"
Yami didn't answer. But he didn't have to cause just then Joey took a look at the clock behind him. "Crud," he swore, "Mai's going to kill me. I was supposed to meet her ten minutes ago." He grabbed his jacket and ran out the door. "Bye guys," he called, "See ya tomorrow."
"Since when did Mai and Joey started to go steady," asked Tristan.
"Who cares," said Yami Bakura.
"Mutt managed to land a girlfriend. I'm surprised," said Seto.
"That isn't nice, Seto," said Ryou.
kagirinaku tsudzuku ankoku no sora hibiwarete-yuku enrai no oto tachidomaru tabi ashimoto ga yureru { Dark sky that stretches out limitlessly The sound of distant, cracking thunder. Whenever I stand, my steps sway.}
taisetsu na hito wo mamoru tame nara dare yori mo zutto hijou ni mo naru dare yori mo zutto tsuyoku naru { If it's to protect someone precious to me, I'll become much more extraordinary than anyone, I'll become much stronger than anyone.}
"So when did they start going out," Yugi asked his darker half.
"Right after the school fair," answered Yami. The next song on the CD began to play.
Yorusora ga hiraku koro Matataku ake no Hoshi { When the night skies open The bright stars twinkle}
Yami ni ikite 'ta ore no kokoro ni Tomotta yume no you sa { I've been living in the dark Like a piercing dream in my mind}
"Ah," said Yugi.
"Yami you have mail," called Sugoroku. He handed Yami a white envelope with a star sticker on the back.
"Thanks Grandpa," he called.
----------wasurenai. Tozasareta kono mune wo aketa kimi wo {----------I shall not forget. You, by whom this closed heart has been opened}
Kyou no sayonara wa mirai no hajimari Yuku michi ga ima wa betsu to shite mo Tsuku basho wa hitotsu... { Today's goodbye is the beginning of tomorrow Even if we take separate paths now We shall arrive at the same place...}
Deatta koto sae mo Kiseki to yobeba ii { Even if we had ran into each other Call it a miracle}
"Who's it from Yami," Yugi asked.
"Probably one of his fan girls," snickered Yami Bakura.
Yami glared at him but opened his letter.
Tomo ni hashitta tsukihi wo subete Hokori ni dekiru kara { For we can be proud of all the days We ran together}
----------arukidasu. Kono mune no kienu hoshi tsurete iku yo {----------I shall walk. Taking the never-fading star of this heart}
It was from Hoshi. The small star sticker gave that away. She was coming home tomorrow, that was good news. She also got to stay here for next year. That new really made Yami jump when he found out. However something happened before he got to start to read the letter.
Kitto sayonara wa piriodo ja nai sa Eien no saka wo nobotte yukeba Kimi to mata aeru... { Surely a goodbye is not a period If I go on and climb the everlasting hill I shall meet you again...}
Kyou no sayonara wa mirai no hajimari Kokoro nara ore wa soba ni iru sa { Today's goodbye is the beginning of tomorrow If in my mind, I shall be beside you}
Just as he was read, Hi Yami, he and everyone else heard something they all dread to hear.
Sugoroku ran into the room. "Yugi, Yami you and your friends better get out of here."
"Already going," stated Yugi.
"What's going on," asked Yami Bakura.
"Trust me Yami you do not want to know," Ryou told his darker half.
Kitto sayonara wa piriodo ja nai sa Yuku michi ga ima wa betsu to shite mo Tsuku basho wa hitotsu { Surely a goodbye is not a period Even if we take separate paths now we shall arrive at one place...}
"Just tell me," he asked.
"Fan girls," replied the others.
"They're just after Yami, Yugi, and Seto though," said Tristan.
"But you do not want to be here if come running though," said Ryou.
Sou sa Sayonara wa subete no hajimari Dare mo mina tabi no tochuu dakara { That is so A goodbye is the beginning of everything Because anyone, everyone is in the middle of a journey}
Sou sa Sayonara wa piriodo ja nai sa Eien no saka wo nobotte yukeba Itsu ka mata aeru... { That is so A goodbye is not a period If I go on and climb the everlasting hill Someday we shall meet...}
"Let's just get out of here," said Tea.
"Agreed," said Yami. They all grabbed their jackets and headed towards the door. Just before he turned off the CD. They quietly snuck out the door. But on of the fan girls spotted them.
"There they are," she called.
"Crud," they all yelled.
The chase was on!
~*~
Blue sapphire eyes blinked in confusion as a group of boys and one girl ran by. One of which looked very familiar to that person. This person was heading towards the Game Shop when they ran by. "Why are they," the person was interrupted as a the answer came rushing by, fan girls.
"Why am I not surprised," mused the person. "I guess I better go and save them before those fan girls get them."
~*~
"Keep running guys," said Tristan.
"We are," the others yelled at him.
Just as they ran passed a house a pair of hands reached out them, two at a time.
"What the," cursed Yami Bakura.
"Quiet," the person who grabbed them.
Just then the fan girls when racing by unaware of what just happened. Yami looked to see whom their rescuer was. A light lit up in his eyes as he recognized who it was.
Bright sapphire eyes that sparkled with mischief and long golden hair pulled back in a half up half down ponytail, she gave a wink and smile and then said, "Hi Yami."
"Hoshi," Yami exclaimed. He gave her a hug, which surprised her and everyone else.
"Uh hi Yami. I didn't think you missed me that much. This is also a little out of your personality," said Hoshi.
"It's been one month since I've seen you," said Yami, "Don't I have every right to miss you."
"Yeah but you're lucky my dad is asleep or else he'll be tearing you apart. Just cause Matt gave you his blessing doesn't mean my dad did," said Hoshi.
Yami sweatdrop. "Oops I forgot about that," he muttered under his breath.
"So who's this Yami," asked Tea.
Yami snapped out of his thoughts, "Oh right this is Hoshi my girlfriend."
Just as he was thinking early everyone was in several degrees in shock, expect Yami Bakura who looked like he was ready to burst out laughing. Hoshi cocked her head in confusion. Turning to Yami she asked, "Is he the robber that tried to get in the palace once or twice but no one manage to catch until one day he caught and he was sealed in ring?"
Yami nodded and Yami Bakura's expression of laugher turn in shocked and rage. "Wait a minute," he yelled, "By Ra how do you know about that?!"
Hoshi looked at Yami. "You want to tell him or should I?"
Yami shrugged. "I guess I should. Hey Bakura you'll never guess who Hoshi really is."
"Who?"
"I'll give you a hint. It the Empress of the Egypt."
Yami Bakura when pale after he heard that. The pieces slowly fell into place. "You can't mean she's," he said weakly.
"Yep," confirmed Yami. Yami Bakura went even paler, if that was possible.
"Wait a minute Hoshi. I thought you were coming back tomorrow," said Yami.
Hoshi shrugged. "Got in on an early flight, convinced dad to let me come home early. I was going to surprise you, but you ran right pass me and disappeared before I could even say hi. Of course you had every right to, the fan girls were hot on your trail."
"Ah."
The others were still in shock. Yugi was the first to semi-shake it off but still tumbled around in the words trying to confirm it. "Yami but how, when, why didja tell me, and what do you mean Empress of Egypt, and what's going to on?!"
Hoshi opened her mouth to answer but was cut off by another yell. "Excuse me for a moment. I must go and save my brother his fan girls." She ran towards where the yell came from. Yami when and started to explain about Hoshi.
After he finished Hoshi had come back. Throwing her hands up in the air she said, "I give up. No matter how hard I try I can't get him away from those girls. With you guys it was easy you had a good distance between you the fans. With Matt there isn't even a place to grab him. He's on his own."
The others were still in shock. They didn't quite hear her.
~*~Several Hours Later~*~
A lot of explaining had to be done and it lasted several hours. Joey and Mai came back and joined in, helping with the explain on parts they knew. It took so long because Yami, Joey, Mai, and Hoshi all had to wait for the others to recover from the shock or wake up from fainting. It took so long that Hoshi had to convince her dad to let them stay over for the night. Still recovering from jetlag, Mr. Ishida agreed too tired to argue. (It still amazes him how his daughter can still be jumping around like a five year with tons of energy after she did all that running around and flying back home this past morning.) So currently all but two people were sound asleep scattered inside the house, in the living room, the kitchen (Joey and Tristan were not allowed in there), and in the guest rooms.
Hoshi sat outside staring at sky above her. It was a dark midnight blue color. Behind her the moon gleamed a pale yellowish color as the stars stood still in the sky, shining. She smiled to herself as she felt Yami come up behind her and then take a seat right next to her.
"Beautiful isn't it," she hear him say.
"Hn," was the only reply she gave him. Then Yami lead over and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Hoshi blushed a brilliant red. Yami laugh at her reaction.
"I love you," he whispered.
Hoshi let out a sigh before replying, "I love you too." Then she rested her head upon his shoulder. Yami smiled before leaning his head on top of hers. His arm went around her waist pulling Hoshi closer to him.
Silent fell and both of them return to watching the stars. No words were need, they knew how each other felt. Yes everything was just right. There was no need to worry.
~*~
Yugi: Very nice.
Ray: Yes I agree.
Kirara: Got rid of them.
NB: Where's Yami and Seto?
**Kirara points behind her. Yami and Seto were on the ground, exhausted.*
NB/Yugi/Ray: Oh.
NB: Well that's it! Please review! Bye for the last time!
Yugi: You actually finished it.
NB: Yep! I'm so happy. I finally finished a story with cutting it off from the real plot or discontinuing it.
Yugi: Yay!
*Ray walks in*
Ray: Hi Hoshi, Yugi!
NB/ Yugi: Hi Ray.
Ray: So you finished this story didn't you Hoshi.
NB: ^_^
**Yami and Seto come running in followed by fan girls** Yami/Seto: Help!!!!
Ray/Yugi: Shoots! **Both of them hide behind NB.
**Kirara comes out** Kirara: What's going on here?

Kirara: Should I get rid of them?

Kirara: Sure. My aibou doesn't own Yugioh or Digimon. It's the same thing as always.

So now he was waiting for his Aibou and friends to return from Tea's shopping spree and food shopping. He was also waiting for the mail to arrive. Supposedly Hoshi's letter was coming today. She had send him an e- mail saying her computer was going haywire so she was going to use snail mail until she could convince her father to buy her a new laptop.

"By the way Yami, what CD is this," asked Ryou.
"Nothing but mixed stuff. This one is called Nightmare. It's almost over. Next is Sayonara wa Mirai no Hajimari," said Yami, "The song that was playing before you guys came in was It's Gonna Rain."
"It sounds really nice," said Yugi. "Where did you get it?"
Joey grinned. "I know," he said. "Hoshi gave to you, right?"
Yami didn't answer. But he didn't have to cause just then Joey took a look at the clock behind him. "Crud," he swore, "Mai's going to kill me. I was supposed to meet her ten minutes ago." He grabbed his jacket and ran out the door. "Bye guys," he called, "See ya tomorrow."
"Since when did Mai and Joey started to go steady," asked Tristan.
"Who cares," said Yami Bakura.
"Mutt managed to land a girlfriend. I'm surprised," said Seto.
"That isn't nice, Seto," said Ryou.
kagirinaku tsudzuku ankoku no sora hibiwarete-yuku enrai no oto tachidomaru tabi ashimoto ga yureru { Dark sky that stretches out limitlessly The sound of distant, cracking thunder. Whenever I stand, my steps sway.}

"So when did they start going out," Yugi asked his darker half.
"Right after the school fair," answered Yami. The next song on the CD began to play.
Yorusora ga hiraku koro Matataku ake no Hoshi { When the night skies open The bright stars twinkle}
Yami ni ikite 'ta ore no kokoro ni Tomotta yume no you sa { I've been living in the dark Like a piercing dream in my mind}
"Ah," said Yugi.
"Yami you have mail," called Sugoroku. He handed Yami a white envelope with a star sticker on the back.
"Thanks Grandpa," he called.
----------wasurenai. Tozasareta kono mune wo aketa kimi wo {----------I shall not forget. You, by whom this closed heart has been opened}
Kyou no sayonara wa mirai no hajimari Yuku michi ga ima wa betsu to shite mo Tsuku basho wa hitotsu... { Today's goodbye is the beginning of tomorrow Even if we take separate paths now We shall arrive at the same place...}
Deatta koto sae mo Kiseki to yobeba ii { Even if we had ran into each other Call it a miracle}
"Who's it from Yami," Yugi asked.
"Probably one of his fan girls," snickered Yami Bakura.
Yami glared at him but opened his letter.
Tomo ni hashitta tsukihi wo subete Hokori ni dekiru kara { For we can be proud of all the days We ran together}
----------arukidasu. Kono mune no kienu hoshi tsurete iku yo {----------I shall walk. Taking the never-fading star of this heart}
It was from Hoshi. The small star sticker gave that away. She was coming home tomorrow, that was good news. She also got to stay here for next year. That new really made Yami jump when he found out. However something happened before he got to start to read the letter.
Kitto sayonara wa piriodo ja nai sa Eien no saka wo nobotte yukeba Kimi to mata aeru... { Surely a goodbye is not a period If I go on and climb the everlasting hill I shall meet you again...}
Kyou no sayonara wa mirai no hajimari Kokoro nara ore wa soba ni iru sa { Today's goodbye is the beginning of tomorrow If in my mind, I shall be beside you}
Just as he was read, Hi Yami, he and everyone else heard something they all dread to hear.
Sugoroku ran into the room. "Yugi, Yami you and your friends better get out of here."
"Already going," stated Yugi.
"What's going on," asked Yami Bakura.
"Trust me Yami you do not want to know," Ryou told his darker half.
Kitto sayonara wa piriodo ja nai sa Yuku michi ga ima wa betsu to shite mo Tsuku basho wa hitotsu { Surely a goodbye is not a period Even if we take separate paths now we shall arrive at one place...}
"Just tell me," he asked.
"Fan girls," replied the others.
"They're just after Yami, Yugi, and Seto though," said Tristan.
"But you do not want to be here if come running though," said Ryou.
Sou sa Sayonara wa subete no hajimari Dare mo mina tabi no tochuu dakara { That is so A goodbye is the beginning of everything Because anyone, everyone is in the middle of a journey}
Sou sa Sayonara wa piriodo ja nai sa Eien no saka wo nobotte yukeba Itsu ka mata aeru... { That is so A goodbye is not a period If I go on and climb the everlasting hill Someday we shall meet...}
"Let's just get out of here," said Tea.
"Agreed," said Yami. They all grabbed their jackets and headed towards the door. Just before he turned off the CD. They quietly snuck out the door. But on of the fan girls spotted them.
"There they are," she called.
"Crud," they all yelled.
The chase was on!
~*~
Blue sapphire eyes blinked in confusion as a group of boys and one girl ran by. One of which looked very familiar to that person. This person was heading towards the Game Shop when they ran by. "Why are they," the person was interrupted as a the answer came rushing by, fan girls.
"Why am I not surprised," mused the person. "I guess I better go and save them before those fan girls get them."
~*~
"Keep running guys," said Tristan.
"We are," the others yelled at him.
Just as they ran passed a house a pair of hands reached out them, two at a time.
"What the," cursed Yami Bakura.
"Quiet," the person who grabbed them.
Just then the fan girls when racing by unaware of what just happened. Yami looked to see whom their rescuer was. A light lit up in his eyes as he recognized who it was.
Bright sapphire eyes that sparkled with mischief and long golden hair pulled back in a half up half down ponytail, she gave a wink and smile and then said, "Hi Yami."
"Hoshi," Yami exclaimed. He gave her a hug, which surprised her and everyone else.
"Uh hi Yami. I didn't think you missed me that much. This is also a little out of your personality," said Hoshi.
"It's been one month since I've seen you," said Yami, "Don't I have every right to miss you."
"Yeah but you're lucky my dad is asleep or else he'll be tearing you apart. Just cause Matt gave you his blessing doesn't mean my dad did," said Hoshi.
Yami sweatdrop. "Oops I forgot about that," he muttered under his breath.
"So who's this Yami," asked Tea.
Yami snapped out of his thoughts, "Oh right this is Hoshi my girlfriend."
Just as he was thinking early everyone was in several degrees in shock, expect Yami Bakura who looked like he was ready to burst out laughing. Hoshi cocked her head in confusion. Turning to Yami she asked, "Is he the robber that tried to get in the palace once or twice but no one manage to catch until one day he caught and he was sealed in ring?"
Yami nodded and Yami Bakura's expression of laugher turn in shocked and rage. "Wait a minute," he yelled, "By Ra how do you know about that?!"
Hoshi looked at Yami. "You want to tell him or should I?"
Yami shrugged. "I guess I should. Hey Bakura you'll never guess who Hoshi really is."
"Who?"
"I'll give you a hint. It the Empress of the Egypt."
Yami Bakura when pale after he heard that. The pieces slowly fell into place. "You can't mean she's," he said weakly.
"Yep," confirmed Yami. Yami Bakura went even paler, if that was possible.
"Wait a minute Hoshi. I thought you were coming back tomorrow," said Yami.
Hoshi shrugged. "Got in on an early flight, convinced dad to let me come home early. I was going to surprise you, but you ran right pass me and disappeared before I could even say hi. Of course you had every right to, the fan girls were hot on your trail."
"Ah."
The others were still in shock. Yugi was the first to semi-shake it off but still tumbled around in the words trying to confirm it. "Yami but how, when, why didja tell me, and what do you mean Empress of Egypt, and what's going to on?!"
Hoshi opened her mouth to answer but was cut off by another yell. "Excuse me for a moment. I must go and save my brother his fan girls." She ran towards where the yell came from. Yami when and started to explain about Hoshi.
After he finished Hoshi had come back. Throwing her hands up in the air she said, "I give up. No matter how hard I try I can't get him away from those girls. With you guys it was easy you had a good distance between you the fans. With Matt there isn't even a place to grab him. He's on his own."
The others were still in shock. They didn't quite hear her.
~*~Several Hours Later~*~
A lot of explaining had to be done and it lasted several hours. Joey and Mai came back and joined in, helping with the explain on parts they knew. It took so long because Yami, Joey, Mai, and Hoshi all had to wait for the others to recover from the shock or wake up from fainting. It took so long that Hoshi had to convince her dad to let them stay over for the night. Still recovering from jetlag, Mr. Ishida agreed too tired to argue. (It still amazes him how his daughter can still be jumping around like a five year with tons of energy after she did all that running around and flying back home this past morning.) So currently all but two people were sound asleep scattered inside the house, in the living room, the kitchen (Joey and Tristan were not allowed in there), and in the guest rooms.
Hoshi sat outside staring at sky above her. It was a dark midnight blue color. Behind her the moon gleamed a pale yellowish color as the stars stood still in the sky, shining. She smiled to herself as she felt Yami come up behind her and then take a seat right next to her.
"Beautiful isn't it," she hear him say.
"Hn," was the only reply she gave him. Then Yami lead over and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Hoshi blushed a brilliant red. Yami laugh at her reaction.
"I love you," he whispered.
Hoshi let out a sigh before replying, "I love you too." Then she rested her head upon his shoulder. Yami smiled before leaning his head on top of hers. His arm went around her waist pulling Hoshi closer to him.
Silent fell and both of them return to watching the stars. No words were need, they knew how each other felt. Yes everything was just right. There was no need to worry.
~*~
Yugi: Very nice.
Ray: Yes I agree.
Kirara: Got rid of them.
NB: Where's Yami and Seto?
**Kirara points behind her. Yami and Seto were on the ground, exhausted.*
NB/Yugi/Ray: Oh.
NB: Well that's it! Please review! Bye for the last time!
