Light Dark

Chapter Eleven: Innocence
Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! You can't sue me cuz I have no money!
Summary: A boy who is hated by his parents, and hunted by Rare Hunters on a nightly basis, flees to Domino City, which he has spent unsuccessful time with Battle City Tournament. Two people he meets changes his life, how he views it, and learns the full meanings of friendship and... love...?
Pairings: OC's yami/OC, Seto/Jonouchi, Yugi/Yami, Bakura/Ryou, Marik/Malik, & Anzu bashing!
Teddybear - The 2nd e-mail was supposed to not have pics because I wasn't finished w/what I was saying. As I might have mentioned in the e-mail, the computer sent the message before I was finished. Stupid computer... Teddysnake - Since u like those so much, how about once I finish, I send you the one I did for QuarterDemon? Teddycat - Da dragons r comin' sooner or later! I jes need ta add detail an' spiff-up da overall graphics (AKA: lines)! Oh, crap I'm soundin' like Jonouchi!! ...He's cute! Wait, you're not gonna send ME ta hell, are ya......? I'm too young ta die!! *giggle* Anyway, time to brush-up those pics so I can send 'em ta ya! (Hopefully sooner than later) *opens up Adobe Photoshop & gets to work 4 some time* Ehh.. they're not done yet. Sorry...
Ranma Higurashi - this chappie is coming at a decent rate, but depending on what I do, it might be a while... but it's finally done! Yay!
This chappie is mostly dedicated for all those Yami/Yugi lovers!! If I get enough reviews (like, 5-10), I'll probably do a PWP? separate lemon chapter & post it elsewhere... (unless you readers out there would like one that is mandatory for the plot, but some people don't like that stuff - having a lemon that HAS to be read & when it's not a pairing one likes...) I'm doing that for 10YoW, for those who are reading it [Day 19's lemon was done in one day, but I need to finish up the lemon version of that Koenma/Kurohi lime chapter, "Flame, but No Rain"], & I will probably do that for Quarter- Demon. Feel free to review & tell me, or go by e-mail!
Huh. Who reads these rambles, anyway?
Oh, this chapter could almost reach the R rating if I advanced this chapter any further. Then again, that's why I'm probably gonna start a "Lost lemon chapters" section separate from the fic, so that those who like it can read at leisure and those who don't don't have to read it, as it probably won't help with the advancement of plot.
"speech" [thoughts] /Hikari to Yami/ //Yami to Hikari// (author notes)
***********************************************
I couldn't tell where I was. Funny, how I usually did. I heard some noise around me, and a warmth against me. A blanket? No, it was much too heavy to be a blanket, and not only that, it was alive.
I couldn't see anything; I think I fell asleep at some point.
My third eye opened blearily, and I was allowed sight although my entire body was out. I saw my hikari nestled against me, but I couldn't feel the contact. He sleepily looked up at me and saw my third eye open and gazing directly at him.
"Shirokoori~~?" he asked, his voice waving at the ends, but that was how my third eye heard things. "Are you awake in there~~? Open your eyes~~."
My third eye closed, and I slipped back into the warmth of oblivion. After a moment, I willed my twin eyes to pull themselves open. I blinked the sleep from them and yawned. "Hi~kari? Nan desu ka? Why did you wake me up?"
"Your third eye opened, and I got a bit freaked out. It only opens when a Rare Hunter's around..."
"Ah, no. It also opens when I'm asleep and am also curious of what's going on around me," I replied. "Kind of a safeguard so no danger shall befall us..." He didn't reply; I shifted slightly, a signal that I wanted to get up and stretch. Hikari slid off my lap and stretched, himself. I caught him frowning.
/Did you have to be so rough on me?/
I raised an eyebrow. //Whatever do you mean? If anything, *you* were tense.// I flicked my gaze to the leaving people, but Yugi and Yami stayed behind. The amethyst-eyed boy tugged on his darkness's shirt and mumbled something. He approached us and dragged my hikari to Kaiba and Mokuba. While they talked, I busied myself by stretching all the kinks in my body.
/Kaiba says we can stay!/
I raised my eyebrow again. //Honto ka? Cool.//
(A/N: Same as "honto". More like a question than a statement.)
/I'm going to play with Mokuba some more, okay?/
I nodded once. //Sure.//
"Oi! Mokuba-chan! Wanna play some more videogames or hide 'n seek?"
I looked at the spirit of the Pharaoh and Yugi. I grinned at them "Arigatou Yami, Yugi."
Yami snorted and rolled his eyes. "I'm only doing this for your sake, not the sake of Kaiba's!"
His hikari giggled at his dark's face. "Uh-huh, ye----ah..."
The red-eyed one frowned. "*You* disbelieve *my* words?"
Yugi gently nudged him in the ribs with his elbow. /Aw, c'mon! Y'know you like him!/
//ME?! Like KAIBA?!//
I chuckled at this open expression of telepathy. Silently, I handed Yugi a Duel Monsters Card and marched flashed back into my aibo's armlet.
***
Yugi and I walk home, enjoying the cool, near-summertime air. He folds his hands behind his head as he walks not much behind me. I slow my pace slightly to match his.
Being so close to my hikari and not being able to touch him is such a pain. I'm starting to think I could be just as rash as Shirokoori and...
No, I'm not like that, and Yugi doesn't seem to like the rash-type of lovers.
Especially after his breakup with Anzu recently.
"Hey, Yami, you okay?"
I blink and stare down at him, forcing a small smile. "I'm all right, aibou," I reassure him. In reality, I am actually almost nothing BUT all right. "I'm just thinking about things, is all."
He smiles. He looks so adorable! "What about?"
I look away, trying to hide a slight blush. I was glad we had passed a streetlight a moment ago, so hiding the blush wasn't too hard. "Many things."
"Oh, okay." He seems a bit disappointed, and I can't help but feel a little guilty. "Look what Shirokoori gave us!" He holds up a card with a black dragon.
"Blue-Eyes Black Dragon...!"
He giggles and grins. "Yes! Now, we can beat Kaiba! The finals are coming up soon, and we'll need to be ready!"
I nod once. "You're right. Kaiba is no pushover, and that card takes as many tributes that his Obelisk card takes." In other words, three of them.
"Maybe so, but Kurohi and Shirokoori pride themselves in this card. If you notice, there isn't a single scratch on it!" He carefully slipped the card into our deck. "Now, their heart is in our deck!" He chuckled and I smiled in reply. If only he knew I...
"Hey, Yami, are you sure you're okay?" he asks, probably sensing my emotions through our link.
"I already answered you before. I'm just fine, Yugi." I turn away from him.
I hear a small sigh from my hikari as we walk together. Eventually, we reach the Kame Game Shop. Yugi fiddles in his pants pocket for the keys. He unlocks the door, and we go inside. My amethyst-eyed hikari holds the door for me and closes it behind me.
"Huh. Grandpa must be asleep." I notice he doesn't move except to lean against the door. He looks exhausted.
"Yes, he must be..." I murmur. I turn his way. His head is bowed; I can't see his eyes. What's wrong? "Yugi?"
He looks up. "Mmmm?"
I blink. "Are you okay?"
Yugi giggles. "How ironic. I've been asking you that a lot lately!"
I glide over and take his hand in my own. I can practically feel the exhaustion through any and every means available. "You're tired, aren't you? Let me help." I feel him blushing profusely. Why is he so embarrassed? I pull him near me so he can easily lean against me if need be. I wrap my left arm around his lower back.
I escort him upstairs, and when we're almost in his room, I feel a gentle touch to my left hand. Blinking once, I look down slightly at Yugi, as we're almost the same height, give or take a head or so. Anyway, his light, feathery touch is on my hand and it burns so pleasantly...
"Yugi..."
"Hmm?" He looks up with a flushed face and I can tell he is trying not to hyperventilate.
I shake my head and we continue on our way. "It's nothing..."
"Ya~mi."
I shiver at his breathy tone. Looking at him again, I suddenly feel the cool wall against my back and two hands holding my wrists still. "Yu... Yugi...?!"
Yugi looks up right at my eyes - I just know it! I gradually feel the shock draining out of my system to only be replaced by my love and desire for the youth. I release a breath I hadn't a clue I'd been holding and lean my forehead against Yugi's.
This moment will forever be engraved into my memory - every smell, every sound, every sight, and emotion - but I'm worried I will do something wrong.
"Oh--, Yugi..."
He quickly releases my wrists only to place his hands on the wall near both sides of my head. I feel his lips collide softly with my open mouth. After a moment, he tries to pull away but I grab his waist, not allowing the option of escape.
I caress his lips with my tongue gently, and he grants me access into that liquid fire cavern. I explore that while increasing my grip slightly on his delicate waist.
His tongue reaches out to mine and connects; I gasp before I release a soft growl. With my nature, I wasn't used to being the "uke" for long.
(A/N: uke. Basically means the one on the bottom. Means "submissive".)
Yugi presses even closer into me, from the elbows to his hands supporting his weight. Our groins grind once before coming to a halt and we both gasp at the unexpected sensation.
"Y-Yugi..."
"Yami...?"
"I... think we should go to your room..."
Yugi groans and then I hear him hiss in a breath as I turn the tables and pull him to his room. However, I don't plan on carrying this out until I know, for certain, one thing.
Does he really love me, or is it just an instant of lust? After all, I have been harboring both since I realized he ever existed.
He sprawls out on his bed, looking up at me with large violet orbs.
"Yugi, I really don't know..."
He frowns. He wants me to continue. I sit near him, my hands in my lap. They're itchin' to explore my light's body, but I MUST remain in control.
"...But I have to. Yugi... do you..." I hear the uncertainty in my voice.
My light frowns at me - no, my uncertainty. Where was my courageous nature? "Yami? Do I.. what?"
Oh well... It's now or never. "Do you... love me?"
"Yami..." His eyes... they're watering...
"A-aibou! N-Nakigoena, kudasai!"
(A/N: nakigoena Means "don't cry". Literally means "cry not". Pronounced: nah-kee-goh-eh-nah.)
"Yami... Ai shiteiru..."
(A/N: ai shiteiru. Means "I love you". Pronounced: "ah-ee shee-teh-ee- rloo.)
"Yugi..." I gasped. I pull his head into my lap and bow my head. My eyes fall closed. "A... Ai shiteiru sono ue ni." I paused and opened my eyes. I realized, despite how calm I appeared, my walls had shattered. Gazing at him some more, I smile lightly and utter, "Omae wa kawaisugiru kara."
(A/N: sono ue ni. Means "too". Pronounced: soh-noh oo-eh nee.)
(A/N: Omae wa kawaisugiru kara. Means "You're just too cute." Pronounced: oh-mah-eh wah kah-wah-ee-soo-gee-rloo kah-rlah.)
He giggles and carefully sits up. He holds me by the shoulders and pulls me down atop of him, and right into a kiss. A moan rips its way through my throat as his hands gather in my hair, making me shiver at the gentle, barely-there tugs of tendrils.
This time, I feel a sensation against my lips and I open them invitingly. I groan at the feeling of the "invasion" and teasingly fight back.
Yugi... If this is what you want, you may have it.
