I woke up. My blankets were on the floor as I yawned and stretched. My
alarm clock beeping.
"Morning Aibou" Mou hitori no boku said to me.
"Ohayou" I replied in Japanese.
"Did you have a good sleep?....." He said drifting off into
thought.
"Hai" I replied again
"That's good..."
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing... Just... Why did you..."
I knew what he was thinking. Yesterday, when I place my hand on
his and we hugged.
"I could just feel how you felt..." I said solemnly
He smiled, though sadly he smiled, "I guess that's good..."
I nodded and looked at the clock, "AH! I'm gonna be late for
school!"
My other laughed and left me to my work.
"You're some help..." I said sarcastically, searching for my
bookbag.
"There it is!" I acknowledged to myself.
After stuffing a small loaf of bread in my mouth I speed out the
door.
"Later Grandpa!" I called as I passed by.
"Bye Yugi" He called to me.
After a bit of running I met up with Ryou.
"Hey, Ryou!" I called.
"Oh, Morning Yugi" He said happily.
"So how's life treating you?"
"Uhh... Good..."
"You're other hasn't left yet?"
He shook his head, "Unfortunately not."
"That sucks... Hey, do you have a watch?"
He pulled one out his pocket, "I don't like wearing them..."
I smiled, "Me too"
He looked at the clock and blinked, "8:09... Eek! We're going to
be late! Come on!"
I nodded with a panicked look on my face and we started running.
Inside the school Ryou and I panted changing our shoes
and running down the halls to class.
"Aren't we there yet?" Ryou complained, "My chest feels like
it's on fire"
"Mine too" I said as we stopped in front of our classroom, "Made
it!"
We stepped inside making sure the teacher wasn't there yet.
"Ah... Morning Yugi, Ryou!" I voice said from behind us.
I shivered and slowly turned around, "Ah... Morning Mr.
Yunaki..."
"Lovely day isn't it? Glad to see you two so active this early
in the morning"
"Early?" Ryou and I said in sync.
"Yes, It's 7:15... Didn't you remember to put your clocks back a
hour a few days ago?"
"Oh! I can't believe I forgot!" Ryou said totally embarrassed.
"I guess Grandpa forgot to remind me..." I said sheepishly.
"Ah... It's okay boys, you to can just help clean the place" Mr.
Yunaki said, cheerfully.
"Err... I guess..." I replied.
"Sure... Why not..." Ryou said still embarrassed.
"Alright then! Here you guys go!" Mr. Yunaki said, handing up
some brooms, "You'd better get to work."
Inside our classroom me and Ryou swept. I swear we were
cleaning the same spots over and over.
"Hey Ryou? How much time left till school starts?" I asked him.
"Uhh... Let me check... 45 minutes..." Ryou said, sounding a bit
disappointed.
I moaned, "It feels like it'll never end!"
Ryou nodded, "Got that right... Hey I know! Why don't we have a
duel to pass the time?"
"Yeah!" I said totally forgetting Ryou also had an other who
possessed the Sennen Ring.
"Alright!" Ryou said smiling.
"Umm... Ryou?"
"Yes?"
"Has your other ever... Cared about you?"
"My other? Well I've never really met him remember, but... I do
hear this voice inside my head sometimes... Like when I had to
duel you"
"Which you really didn't but your other did"
"Yes... Well I watched the whole thing and well... When I was
awake, the pain in my arm hurting a great deal, I heard what I
think might have been my others voice say, "I can't risk his
safety for I still need him', isn't that funny?" He started
laughing.
I stared at Ryou completely blank, "Your other said that?"
"I think so, I have no idea who he could have been speaking to
though."
"Err... Malik"
"Huh?"
"He could have been speaking to Malik"
"Oh... Yes, that seems quite logical"
I nodded.
"Umm... Why did you want to know?"
"Huh? Know what?"
"If my other cared about me"
"err.. It's kinda of a long story but...sure I'll tell you"
I explained what happened the day before, why my yami
seemed jealous of Jounouchi and just about everything else.
"So... You two hugged?" Ryou confused, "Just because you could
understand him?"
"Err. Yeah... I told you it's a strange story..." I replied.
"Hai..." He said agreeing with me.
"What time is it anyway?"
"Umm.. 8:09"
"That's good that means we won't have to stay here much longer"
"Actually, we still have to last the school day"
I fell out of my chair, "Hopefully it's not as long as this..."
Ryou smiled, "That'd be nice but I don't think it's going to
happen."
I nodded.
"Yugi!" I familiar voice called.
I turned around, "Oh! Morning Jou!"
"Morning! Hey Ryou!" Jounouchi said cheerfully.
"Ohayou Jounouchi" Ryou replied.
"What brought you guys here so early?" Jou said, curiously.
"Ahh... We both left an hour early for school because we forgot
to change our clocks."
(AN: Arg! I screwed this plan up! Oh well... Time is Magic lets
just say that .")
"Okay..." Jounouchi said, somewhat confused.
I sighed, "Well I guess class is going to be starting soon."
Ryou and Jounouchi nodded and headed to their seats as did, I.
The day passed, as lunch came by something strange
happened.
"Hey Jounouchi" I said as he walked over to me, sitting on the
roof.
"Hey Yugi... Umm... I was wondering..." He began sitting down
beside me.
"Yes?"
"Well, I like this person but their the same sex as me..."
'Err this can't be good... He's in love with someone too! This
can't be happening... If he asks one wrong question I could end
up saying that I'm in love my other... Which is kind of strange
but still!' I thought to myself.
"Uhhh... Why couldn't you have asked Honda or Anzu about this?"
I said, questionably.
"Well, one Anzu's a girl and two... Honda would probably laugh
at me." He said.
"Err... Okay... So who are you in love with?"
He sighed, "I was afraid you were going to ask that question...
But... I'll tell you anyway cause you'll find out eventually..."
"Okay..."
"The person I'm in love with is..." He whispered the rest in my
ear.
My eyes widened, "But, but... It can't! I already hav-"
Jounouchi lips touched mine. My heart raced.
I could never explain this to my other.
I felt Jounouchi move closer to me, placing his hand around my
back, pulling me closer to him.
'Jounouchi...' I said inside my head since I was not able to say
it out loud, 'Why are you doing this?'
"Yugi!" I heard my other call.
'Not now!' I cried to myself, a tears starting to form in my
eyes, 'Not now... I don't want him to catch me like this...'
I tear fell down my cheek then another and another.
Jounouchi's lips left mine as he stared at me, "Yugi... Why are
you crying?"
I sniffled and stuttered a bit but all that came out of my mouth
was, "I'm..."
Jounouchi stared at me confused, then the lunch bell rang.
"I guess we have to go to class now, huh?" He said.
I nodded trying to wipe all the tears away before class started.
"Here, let me help you to class..." He lowered his hand to help
me stand up.
I jolt of pain shot threw me and I stopped trying to take his
help and stood up for myself, "I'm fine thanks..."
He blinked, "You changed again didn't you..."
My other nodded and walked off to class.
'I'm here to help, Aibou that's my job'
'But... Did you see?'
'no...'
'Oh okay..."
Once again the school day passed but all that was on my
mind was Jounouchi, love and my other... Why was I so confused
about this?
I sat on my bed, wishing that I hadn't gotten myself into this.
"Aibou..." The well-known voice called to me again.
He spirit sat down beside me, "Something's bothering you
again... What is it?"
I sighed, "Something that happened at lunch today..."
My other's eyes widened, "You mean what made you cry?"
I nodded, "But you don't know everything that happened, do you?"
"I don't..."
"Well... Jounouchi... He loves me as like you... And..."
My eyes swelled up again with tears.
"Aibou... You didn't..."
I shook my head, "I... I didn't but Jounouchi... He kissed
me..."
Yami's eye widened more then he looked depressed.
He stared down at the floor.
"I'm sorry... I didn't expect it..."
He mumbled something quietly a tear slowly falling down his
face.
"Another I..." I said solemnly.
He still stared at the floor.
"Yami..." I repeated.
His eyes seemed so soulless.
"YAMI!" I cried grabbing his arm and pulling him close to me,
"Say something..."
"Aibou..." He mumbled, "I'm... Sorry... I..."
I placed my hand behind his back and I pulled him closer.
My other's face slowly lifted upward, looking at me, "Aibou..."
He hugged me again, but that wasn't what I wanted this time.
I pushed him back.
He looked surprised, "Aibou what's wro-"
I locked my lips with his, pulling him closer to me this time.
'Aibou...'
"Mou hitori no boku... I love you'
"Morning Aibou" Mou hitori no boku said to me.
"Ohayou" I replied in Japanese.
"Did you have a good sleep?....." He said drifting off into
thought.
"Hai" I replied again
"That's good..."
