Chapter: One - Remembering Is The Worst.
-------------------------------------------------
A young boy, maybe about the age of sixteen, sat on the front porch staring off into the sunset that claimed the beaches and sea.
He didn't care about anything at the moment, just the sunset. Nothing could make this day more beautiful, or ruin it. It was going all to well, but as they say going all to well always makes something happen later on. But he didn't care, he just let himself believe nothing would mess it up, and when something did he would just go on with life – hey life does go on.
The wind picked up and the trees' leaves blew lightly. It was perfect. The temperature was not to hot, not to cold, just…perfect.
"Rai! Rai! Come on! It's time to go!" A girl ran up to the boy, bouncing up and down. "You promised!"
The girl was slightly younger than the boy with light brown hair that went to her waist with the brightest of blue eyes you could ever see. She was defiantly shorter than him, but not by much.
"Michie, don't worry I haven't forgotten." The boy smiled, his blond hair swaying with the wind. The girl nodded excitedly. "You have to be careful though. If mom finds out you have been doing this, I could get in big trouble and I don't want you hurt."
"Rai! Don't worry, I will be careful, I have been for awhile."
He nodded, smiling. "Let's go then."
Beads of sweat dripped down his forehead as he shot up from the bed. The dream again – why was it haunting him? Each day the dream would go a little further into it, and it was driving him crazy. He never wanted to even remember this dream, it was suppose to be gone by now, but yet the day still haunts him.
He just couldn't understand it; it wasn't making any sense at all. These dreams, flashes, voices, everything was just too much. Everything reminded him of her, everything.
Because of that day, the day that was haunting his dreams, he had to change almost everything about him; his name; his way of life; everything. But he refused to change his hair color and eye color; it was the only thing he had left of his real family. The family he belonged to from now to the end of his life.
"Jou…?" A soft voice asked. "Are you alright?"
The said boy looked over at the bed on the opposite of the room. "Don't worry, I'm fine, really."
"I don't believe you." The voice flicked on the light, and yawned. "It was the dream wasn't it?"
Jounouchi just nodded. "I can't get it to stop Yugi. I don't know why they even started. Why does my brain want me to remember this?!" The blonde growled in frustration, flopping down onto his bed.
Yugi moved over to his bed, sitting on it. "I can't explain that Jounouchi, it just does. Maybe, just maybe, you really aren't over it completely and you need to, to move on."
Jou sighed once again. "I don't know." Yugi hugged him lightly and went back over to his bed.
"Try to get some sleep Jou; you'll need it for tomorrow. Your class is early." Yugi looked at him and Jou just nodded. Yugi sighed and turned off the light and went back to bed.
The blond sat there in class, not really paying attention to the teacher. The teacher was just rambling about the exam they were going to have. He already knew about it and he didn't need to know more.
"Katsuya?" The teacher calling his name woke him from his thoughts as he looked up.
"Huh?" He asked, blinking.
"I would appreciate it if you were paying attention. This exam is worth a lot for your grade, and you really need to listen." She said to him, looking down at her book.
Jou just nodded slowly. "Yes…" He mumbled silently.
"Thank you."
Jounouchi sighed heavily and went back to his thoughts, though listening to her words, just not processing the information of them.
The dreams have been going on for weeks, and Jou just wished he would die so the dreams would leave him alone. He can't figure out what triggered them, and that made him even more frustrated.
Yugi sat on the floor by Jou, their backs pressed against the others.
"Jou…"
"Yugi it's going to drive me insane, and if it does I don't want to go back there…." He whispered lightly, sighing, his eyes locked on the ground. (1)
"Jounouchi listen to me. You wont go back there, it impossible. Okay… it is possible, but let's not even get there.
You're in this tiny dorm room that is so small you can hardly put anything in it with me and you're perfectly happy right now, and you know Michie would want that, same for your parents."
That comment about the dorm room made Jounouchi laugh a little and Yugi grinned. Jou was happy and he knew it, and that made him happy."Thanks Yugi." Jou said, smiling.
"No problem, but I wont be here all the time you know. I have a million other things to do."
"Like what?"
Yugi pondered for a second. "Actually, besides the homework, nothing."
Jou rolled his eyes and was about to say something when a soft knock on the door was heard.
"Who is it?" Yugi called out.
"I could tell you that, but then you wouldn't be surprised." They could almost see the person grinning.
"Door's open." Jou said plainly.
The door opened and in walked a girl. She appeared to be seventeen, and not a day older. Her very light purple hair fell down to a little past her shoulders and flipped out naturally, and her eyes were of the brightest and prettiest midnight blue you could ever see.
She wore a loose white shirt, with a simple brown jacket over it. The brown jacket had fur around the neck and on at the end of the sleeves. She also wore simple tan cargo pants, and white tennis shoes to match. And her favorite part of the outfit was her hat. It was one of those hats at were like regular hats but they are big at the head part. Those ones that look like a regular baseball cap but are like a beret? Yeah, you better understand.
The girl put on a big smile. She was always happy for some reason or another. (And no! She won't be like Tea. Oh God no…) (2)
"What do you need Chloe?" Jou asked her as he looked up.
Chloe grinned. "Jou, Yugi, I have some great news!" Excitement was held in her voice and too obvious.
"What's the news?" Yugi quizzed.
"My sister just opened a club!"
Yugi and Jou just blinked at the statement. Chloe rolled her eyes. "It's a club you guys. We can get in since my sister owns it, and no one can stop us."
"Yeah so what?" Jou said, still confused.
"It means do you want to go to the club with me?"
"Oh," was the reply.
"Will you?"
"Sure, we need to get out of here anyways." Jou said smiling widely, Yugi nodded in agreement.
"Great!" Chloe said. "Let's go!"
"Right now?"
She laughed. "Duh. I can wait if you want to get ready, I'm already ready."
"Chloe you are always ready. You don't give a damn about your make-up or anything other girls do."
"I know. As long as have my hat, I'm ready." She made a 'v' with her fingers and laughed. Chloe just loved that hat of hers, and Jou and Yugi could never figure it out, so they let it go. (3)
Jou and Yugi both got up and went to the closet they shared and took out some clothes to go to the club in.
Yugi wore his usual when he went, or tried to, go into a club; a leather outfit with a lot of buckles that made him incredibly sexy. (*drools* Yummy….) (4)
Jou picked out black leather pants and a sleeveless turtleneck, one of his favorite outfits.
Chloe grinned. "Hurry up…." She whined.
"Oh, just wait for ten minutes then we'll leave. Promise." Jou grinned.
"Alright then." Chloe said and sat down.
About twenty minutes later Jou and Yugi were finally ready.
"You guys doubled it on purpose…" Chloe eyed them, the guys just grinned.
"Let's just go."
The club line was freaking long, and Chloe so did not want to wait, so she dragged Jou and Yugi up to the front of the line.
"You can't go in front of-" A man began to say, but Chloe interrupted him.
"Oh shut up." Chloe looked at the guy who was allowing people in, and who was about to not let her in the club at all no matter what. "I don't mean to be bad at all; I just needed to get in, sorry." Chloe gave her innocent look that Jou and Yugi knew too well, and the guy looked at her sighed and allowed her to speak. The innocent look was just too much to say no to. "I'm Chloe, Sakura's little sister. Does that ring a bell?"
"Ah, yes," the man replied, "the owner of the club. She does have a sister named Chloe…"
Jou and Yugi just watched, blinking rapidly. Was he actually going to let them in? Jou and Yugi thought it was going to be impossible, but Chloe gave her innocent look and took out her license, showing it to him, even though it clearly stated that she was underage. (5)
"Alright," he sighed, "you can go in."
Chloe smiled. "Thanks a bunch!" She went through the doors, dragging Jou and Yugi with her.
"He fell for your look, wow…" that was all Yugi could say. Chloe giggled and dragged them further into the club, where most of the people were dancing or having drinks.
There was even a live band – just how cool was that?
All three of them couldn't figure out where how Sakura got the bands to play, but they let it past there minds once Sakura introduced a new band.
"Everyone, I'd like to introduce a band who all of you love and they are…. Rush!" Sakura grinned, and with that name said everyone grew excited and they all cheered.
The drums started beating and five figures were on-stage. The crowd eagerly grew quietly waiting for the song.
Graffiti decorations
Under a sky of dust
A constant wave of tension
On top of broken trust
The lessons that you taught me
I learn were never true
Now I find myself in question
(They point the finger at me again)
Guilty by association
(You point the finger at me again)
The voice was smooth and delicate and when the guy who sang the lovely lyrics showed his face, Jou's expression turned blank.
"Seto?" Jou breathed inaudibly.
Jou couldn't believe it… That was the guy he met a few weeks ago! And now he is some famous band?! Jou was totally confused.
Paper bags and angry voices
Under a sky of dust
Another wave of tension
Has more than filled me up
All my talk of taking action
These words were never true
Now I find myself in question
(They point the finger at me again)
Guilty by association
(You point the finger at me again)
The rest of the band played their instruments and a guy, who looked like Yugi, only taller and his orbs were crimson colored, sang the chorus. (6)
Yugi stared in aw at the sight before him, his eyes gleaming with lust, something Yugi never took on, which sort of scared Jou, but he let it slide.
I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind
"They are really good." Chloe said, trying to make a conversation at her friends who were ignoring her. They didn't answer her. "Damn it, I lost them until the song is over…"
I'm gonna run away and never say goodbye
(gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away)
I'm gonna run away and never wonder why
(gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away)
I'm gonna run away and open my mind
(gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away)
I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind
I wanna run away
and open up my mind
I wanna run away
and open up my mind
I wanna run away
and open up my mind
I wanna run away
and open up my mind
The song ended and everyone cheered. Jounouchi was still speechless, and Yugi just kept staring.
Chloe was talking to her sister, who gladly would let them in at any time they wanted.
Jou was sitting at the bar sighing.
"It's nice to see you again." The voice startled Jounouchi and he turned around, smiling.
"Seto…"
"Yeah."
"It's funny how you met a person all over again, isn't it?"
"Yeah, yeah it is." Seto said, sitting down next to him.
"You never told me you were the lead singer in Rush."
"Did you ever ask?"
"Well…. No, but you still could have told me."
But can Jounouchi tell Seto the truth about his life?
Can he tell him how he really isn't Katsuya Jounouchi, that he is really Rai Kamyia? The famous street racer who disappeared off the planet after his sister and parents died?
No, it was best he didn't. Seto would instantly turn away…
-------------------------------------
1. Yes. Jounouchi was in a Mental
Instituion.
2. If she was like Tea I would die. I
HATE TEA!
3. Exactly like me. I got my hat, I'm
ready to go anywhere!
4. *drools* Two words! Yum-My!!!
