Chapter 9: Popularity dances around
~~General P.O.V~~
School went out, and the official weekend started. With Spirit Week in mind, students came running out to do their own thing away from school grounds. Yugi and Kiari walked out, making sure Yami or any of the Yugi's former friends' were following them. Kiari's skirt bounced around as she skipped while Yugi walked a couple paces behind her. Yugi chuckled.
"What are you so happy about?" he asked, Kiari giggled and turned around to face her best friend. "Because Monday's Spirit Week! Time for you to shine like the star you are, Yugi! What are you going to wear?" she said. Yugi started thinking. He didn't really consider what he'd wear for Spirit Week. He wanted something that attracts attention, but not so much that he and Kiari would have to run everywhere.
"I don't know. I guess you can choose for me." he told Kiari. Kiari's eyebrows arched up. "You, the great Yugi Motou, are going to trust me with picking out your perfect clothes for Spirit Week?" she asked. Yugi laughed, then nodded hsi head. "But if you pick out plaid and stripes, I'll kill you." he warned. Kiari laughed as the two walked on. "Don't worry, unlike most girls who can't pick a man's style, I can." she reassured. Yugi smiled, then shook his head.
The two walked on, laughing at what other had to say. Finally, Kiari looked at Yugi. "Yugi, what happened on the rooftop at lunch?" she asked. Yugi looked at her, and sighed. "Yami came up to me and sat down beside me. We talked, then he said that he would like to stop the sky at that moment. I asked why, and he said so that he can keep this moment forever." he explained. Kiari's eyes shined a little.
"Aw, that's so sweet." she said. "Too cliche, he needs work." she nodded. Yugi laughed, then turned to her. "Yeah it was sweet. I couldn't say anything after he said that." Kiari laughed, then turned to Yugi. "That's a first." she remarked. Yugi scoffed at her, then playfully punched her. "Don't get me wrong, I still can't forgive him yet. He just shocked me a little." he protested. Kiari shook her head and looked at the sky.
~~Yugi's P.O.V~~
We made it to the apartment without anything strange or cliche happening. Which is a really good thing, because ever since I came here, strange things always happen. Kiari unlocked the door and we both stepped inside. "Wow, let's eat some ice cream. I'm hungry." she suggested. I nodded and we both got out some chocolate ice cream cones.
Kiari and I sat down on the couch, licking our sickly sweet sugar spun treats. Kiari looked at me. That look she gave I knew that she wanted to talk about Yami. "I think Yami's trying to get on your good side." she said, after taking a lick. I scoffed. 'Please. He knows he's not off hell's hook yet." I told her, licking off my own cone. Kiari looked at me with mischevious eyes. "Yeah, but he thinks that saying a cliche line might make you think about him a little bit. You didn't say anything, which means he succeeded in making you think about him. That's a little too fast."
I scoff again. "He just said that because-" that's where I had to think. Did Yami want me to forgive him? Of course. He wants me to be with him again. Was what he said genuine? Probably. Yami rarely lies, especially with me. Did Yami want me to think about him? Yes he did. And this is one of his ways to make me do so. I look at Kiari. "I'm not saying to totally give Yami the cold shoulder. Just don't act like you'll be surprised at every line he throws out. After all, you're still mad at him. So, go ahead and talk to him, just don't act like you enjoy every word he says." Kiari suggested.
I knew she ws right. I probably acted like I was lovestruck with what Yami said earlier. But I like talking to him a little bit. At least Yami's not ignoring me anymore. I look at Kiari. "Man, I'm hopeless when it's showing my emotions around people I don't like right now." I said. Kiari laughed. "Don't sweat it that much. You're doing a great job. At least you're giving him a chance." she told me, licking her ice cream. I smile at her, and start licking my own cone.
We ate a small dinner and went to bed. We didn't talk about Yami after that, which was fine with me. Kiari told me that she would surprise me with what clothes I would wear on Monday, so we didn't talk about Spirit Week.
The weekend was great. We spent most of it over at Seto's house playing video games with Mokuba and talking with Seto and Serenity. Kiari and Serenity were like sisters, same thing with me and Seto. But the weekend flew by, and we were ready to go back to face one whole week of school.
~~General P.O.V~~
Monday came creeping up on the sky, causing Yugi to wake up and face the morning. Yugi then found his Spirit Week clothes hanging on hangers on his closet doors. They were black silk pants, and a royal purple sild shirt with buttons near the neck. Yugi laughed. These were the same clothes he wore when he was coming into Japan after three years of absence. Yugi got up, brushed his teeth and combed his hair, and put on the clothes Kiari chose for him. He left a few buttons undone to show his friendship cross.
Yugi walked to the kitchen and saw Kiari making breakfast. Kiari looked up at him. "Good mrning Yugi, like the clothes I picked out for you?" she greeted. Yugi laughed, then smiled at her. "Yeah, but how is this supposed to represent me?" he asked. Kiari laughed. "You are cool, confident, and very sly. That outfit says it all." she explained. Kiari put plates on the table and turned back to Yugi.
"What do you think about me?" she asked. Yugi looked at her outfit. Kiari was wearing navy blue leather pants, a light lavender tube top with a row of flowers on the side, a beautiful liver sone armband around her left arm, and a silver bracelet on her right wrist. Yugi looked at Kiari. "You look really good. I like it." he said. Kiari smiled. "Thanks." she said. Yugi smiled, and both of them started eating their breakfast.
Kiari brought her CD player playing O-town, her favorite American boy band. But she wasn't listening to it with her headphones. Her CD allowed the music to be played out loud when her headphones were not connected, making everyone withing hearing range listen to it. Yugi looked at Kiari's CD player. "Did you have to bring that?" he asked as they were walking to school. Kiari nodded.
"Yeah, I like it." she said, grinning. Yugi shook his head and kept walking while Kiari was humming and dancing to the music. Soon, they got to school, and Kiari tugged his arm. "'Every Six Seconds is on. Want to dance?" she asked. Yugi looked around. No one they knew was around, so Yugi turned back to Kiari. "Sure!" he said. Kiari and Yugi then started breaking out their moves. (a/n If you need a visual, imagine the type of dancing you see on that episode with Tea and that dance guy, combined with the dance moves on the movie 'Save the Last Dance')
Kiari and Yugi were breaking it out, while a crowd coming over to them and watching. Cheering them on and clapping, Yugi and Kiari kept dancing, not noticing Yami and the gang watching them also. Yami was surprised at Yugi's moves. 'I didn't know he could dance like that' he thought. 'But I can't believe he's dancing with that infuriating female' Meanwhile, Kiari and Yugi kept dancing. Kiari's black hair streaked with red and gold shined in the sun, while Yugi looked graceful and sexy.
Finally, the song ended, and Kiari and Yugi finished their act with their final moves. Everyone cheered them and clapped. Kiari smiled at her partner, and Yugi smiled at Kiari. "Ahem." cleared a throat. Yugi and Kiari turned to the directiona and saw Yami and the gang looking at them. Meanwhile, everyone was leaving with comments like "You two rock!" or "You dance better than Tea!" Yami looked at Yugi.
"You dance well, Yugi. Maybe you would like to beat me in a game of DDR." he said. Yugi scoffed. "I probably can. But I guess I can try." he said. Yami smirked. Tea then stepped up. "Nice outfit Shishori. You dance so well. I wouldn't want to ruin those beautiful black platforms." she mocked. Kiari glared at Tea. "Thank you for your concern. You dance so well too. So well that insects and scum might clear the path for you." she remarked. Tea wanted to kill her right then and there, but Yami stopped her.
Yami put his hand in front of her, signaling her not to move. Tea complied. Kiari tried to walk over to her, but Yugi did the same thing. Yugi looked at Yami with determined eyes. "When and where?" he asked. Yami smirked. "At the game shop, at 8:00." he answered. Yugi nodded. "See you there." he said, then walked away. Kiari came back to Yugi's side.
"Why did you accept his proposal?" she asked. "You've never played DDR before." Yugi chuckled, then looked at his best friend. "I have once, and I've been secretly practicing ever since. So I think I'll win." he told her. Kiari looked worried, then sighed. She might as well trust her best friend. Yugi looked at her. "Do you want to watch?" he asked her. Kiari looked at him and nodded.
"Yeah, I'll come and watch. I'll also make sure Yami doesn't do anything to you." she said. Yugi chuckled, then the two reached the classroom.
While the teacher was talking, Yugi took a sneak peek at Yami's Spirit Week outfit. Yami wore leather, as usual, but he didn't have that confident aura like he used to. Yugi wondered why, but he dismissed it. 'I never realized how hot Yami looks in leather' he thought. Suddenly, Kiari tapped him on the shoulder. "Like Yami's outfit?" she asked. Yugi nodded, then chuckled.
"Do you?" he asked her. Kiari shook her head. "No, anyone can look good in leather." she answered. Then Kiari went back to taking notes. Yugi looked at Yami again. 'Yeah, but not as good as Yami' he thought. Then Yugi shook the thought out of his head. 'Yugi, remember, you still hate him. He ignored you, sent you back to hell, and didn't be there for you, don't forgive him just yet' he thought. Yugi then went back to taking notes with Kiari, unaware of Yami looking at him also.
