Change of Heart
Chapter 8
Grudge Match II
Summary: Hey, we have a fight scene! YAY! Anyway. Did Ryou say a bad word?
Game Shop.
Yugi's gang and the Blade Breakers sat in the sitting room. Joey and Tyson are sitting in the opposite sides of the room. Kai and Yugi are separating the two. Ryou, Max and Tea sat on the settee. Ray sat with his legs crossed on the coffee table in front of the settee. Kenny and Tristan sat in chairs across each other.
The ill feeling returned, bringing Kai and Yugi back to Tyson and Joey's recent fighting. The latter looked fiercely at each other. Everyone seemed to stay away from the dark duo. Max continued to boldly sweet talk Tea, Ray started a talk with Ryou, and Kenny challenged Tristan in a staring contest. Yugi gazed up at Kai, who seemed to be lost in his own thoughts. I really hope a fight doesn't start.
You can't disallow the expected, Yugi, Yami said.
I can try, can I? Yugi stood up, spinning to tackle Joey and Tyson. Unhappily, or owing to Fortune's perverse drollness, Yugi's circle landed him face to face with Kai. Yugi stepped away from him.
What's wrong, Yugi?
Yugi breathed deeply, leaning against the wall. I felt quaint, Yami.
Quaint?
Yeah. It's awkward to describe.
Are you unwell?
No. It felt quaint, but I liked it.
Hmmm. What were you doing before you felt quaint?
Oh yeah! Yugi cut his link with Yami, and walked over to Joey. "Why don't you just make an apology?"
"Because he's not worth it," Joey responded. "Besides, he started it."
"I did not," Tyson barged in. "You started it, punk!"
"You dishonest idiot!"
"Say it to my face, punk!"
"I would, but I'd have to reduce in size a few feet."
There was a concise pause. Neither company could think of a retort.
The audience watched the show, trying to foresee the next round. For an instant, Ryou was different. That instant started the fight.
Joey pushed Yugi out of the way of Tyson's punch before sending back his own. Kai drove himself, catching Yugi before he hit the ground. Both sat alongside the settee when Tyson drove Joey into it from behind. Ray jumped off the coffee table as Joey forced Tyson into it. Even Kenny and Tristan have to move. Tyson forced Joey into one of the chairs, and Joey tossed Tyson in another chair. By the time they were finished, the sitting room was blank.
The full room was now a desert. The glass was broken and the objects named furniture no longer existed. Sugoroku first appeared at the door upon hearing the emptiness of stillness. He had seen the whole thing, still not quite sure of what began the flare-up. "GET OUT!!" erupted the frail man. Sugoroku watched the whole batch depart the room before he sat down in what used to be a chair.
At the park.
Tempers had at length cooled down. Everyone was considering in their own way. Ray was hanging upside-down in the monkey bars. Ryou sat on the ladder of the monkey-bars. Kenny sat by the sand box and Tristan was beside a tree. Tyson and Joey sat adjacent to each other on the double slide, murmuring "Sorry" to each other. Yugi sat on the swing, his feet gently pushing down on the ground, giving his seat a small move. Kai leaned alongside the shaft farthest from Yugi. A few moments later, it grew shady and they have to leave.
Kai walked from behind everyone, with Ryou ahead of him. He gazed at Ryou, which visibly freaked him out. Ryou turned at him and Kai backed off. Something wasn't right about him, and it wasn't the best time to tell it.
Ryou scoffed at Kai's indecision, and repeated his statement that started the whole flare-up. "Idiot."
