Disclaimers: You know I don't own YuGiOh! So just hush and read
happily!!!
Yami let out a groan and turned over, a new day's sun was glaring in through the window, giving no mercy to the tired pharaoh. As per usual Yugi's restless movements, and kicks in the side continually interrupted his sleep.
Speaking of which, Yami winced and rubbed his aching ribs; he loved his hikari, but he never suspected the boy to have that much strength in his legs. The only way Yami was ever really to keep Yugi in one place was by hugging him so that he couldn't move around.
Blinking Yami turned over as a few not to joyful memories came to mind. Grampa in the beginning, did not much care for Yami and Yugi sleeping together, which meant that Yami would have to wait for him to fall asleep so he could sneak into his hikari's bed. Yami was usually very respectful of the old man's wishes, but ever since he got his body, his dark lonely soul room was too much for him to stand. After a while Grampa accepted that the fact that he could not win and begrudgingly agreed that they could share a bed. Yami had then learned about the way Yugi slept, so he tried out his hugging motive. Much to Yami's joy it worked until one night Grampa walked in.
Yami unconsciously shivered at Grampa's reaction; he was sure that the old man would be the next threat for the world's ending. Needless to say Yami never tried that again due to his fear of Grampa's wrath, and the crazy old badger's annoyingly watchful eye.
Yami sighed wistfully.it was really to bad, he rather enjoyed holding his little light so close to him. His body was soft and warm like a big teddy bear.
Yami let out another sigh though this one was more of frustration since he found the need for another shower. Another cold shower. Glancing at Yugi's side, he was not surprised to see that it was bare.
Yugi was Anzu's assistant for the play that she was directing and that meant that he had to leave for school at the crack of dawn. The play was Romeo and Juliet, which Yami actually had a staring role in, even though he was not much interested in theater. He only did it to be by Yugi's side. But Anzu kept everyone busy and he had not spent any real time alone with his little light, for weeks now. Yet somehow Anzu seemed to be at Yami's side night and day.
Yami let out a low growl at this thought. He realized long ago that the girl was infatuated with him. Though he did not return her feelings, she always suckered him into dates and such, which seemed to give the students of his high school the impression that they were a couple. He could only wonder what Yugi thought.
There was another wrinkle for you. Since Yami and Yugi were together less and less now, and Anzu seemed to have the entire school thinking they were a couple, it left Yugi seemingly available. Yami appealed to those who wanted the strong, mature, drop-dead sexy type, but Yugi had the vulnerable, kid-dish, so adorable with every breath, aura that made people (many not to Yami's liking) drawn to him.
But Jou and Honda were oh so helpful in that department. Jou probably caught on to how Yami felt about Yugi, so he felt it his and Honda's duty to scare off most anyone interested in him. Yugi was too dense to realize when someone was hitting on him, (lord knows Yami sent out a thousand singles) so he really couldn't complain. That is when Honda wasn't busy being dragged all over Domino by his sweetheart Serenity, and Jou and Seto were pretending not to be interested in each other.
Yami let out a chuckle and then a yelp at the cold water beating down on him; the relationships of him and his friends were so very interesting. Another odd couple was Ryou and Bakura, a yami and hikari just like him and Yugi. Somehow over the course of the years Ryou had managed to soften Bakura enough to go to school and not destroy anyone who looked in his direction. Of course this meant that Domino high school's clean slate was slightly more tarnished now thanks to Bakura and himself. They may still hold the other with contempt, yet they loved to terrorize the school together.
Putting on his uniform, along with the numerous leather and buckle accessories, Yami headed downstairs to the kitchen, greeted by sweet smells and warm breezes from the stove. Grampa was busily making breakfast, flipping pancakes and humming a soft tune. Only when Yami greeted him, did he notice the pharaoh's presence.
"Oh, good morning Yami. Sleep well?" the old man snickered at what he thought was a most glorious joke. To his disappointment, Yami only snorted and continued to pour himself a glass of juice.
"Yugi has gone to the school." Yami stated, more then asked. He knew the answer but small talk helped him wake up and ready for the day.
Grampa gave a solitary nod, flipping a pancake onto a plate before handing it to Yami. "Anzu, called and reminded me to wake Yugi this morning. The poor boy looked so heartbroken to get up."
Yami nodded his head, digging into the now syrup soaked meal, "She is putting all her energy into it, consequently, Yugi's energy as well."
"Yes, into the play.and into you." Grampa smirked over his shoulder at Yami, one for his sly statement and two, Yami's shocked face and syrup covered mouth.
"What-what do you mean by that, Grampa?" he asked, not noticing how ludicrously funny he looked.
Grampa turned back to the stove, though his smirk grew wider, "Please Yami, anyone can see she's absolutely taken by you. And it is very nice that you seem to becoming closer now."
Needless to say, it shocked the old man when the pharaoh let out a roar of laughter, and leaned back so far in to his chair that he was inches from falling. "You would say anything to keep me away from Yugi, wouldn't you Grampa!?" he asked, pushing away from the table and grabbing his backpack. Grampa didn't answer, he was to busy at being flustered from Yami's blunt, although true statement.
Turning to the door Yami opened it, and looked at red old man behind, "Anzu called practice for the day, so I will be home late. Yugi has the afternoon off I believe." and then walked out with a wave.
Yugi felt like banging his head on the wall for the one-hundredth time that morning. Anzu was off on a loud speech about working together to make the play a success. The actors weren't going to be in until after school, since Anzu wanted the backstage team and the onstage team to be separate so there were no difficulties. Jou who had been standing next to him for the last ten minutes was muttering to himself something about 'separating his.' and 'just wants.' and '.poor Yami'
Usually he would have felt compelled to ask Jou what was up, but right now.Yugi felt like going into the prop room and lying down on one of the Shakespearean couches and sleeping for all he was worth. Actually, he would give up anything to be anywhere else right about now.
"Motou-kun, the teacher told me to tell you that the principal wants you. Not getting into any trouble are we?" a tall blonde asked, leaning down to Yugi's eye level bending her knees seductively.
"No, at least I don't think so. Better go find out though." he answered his face falling into a thoughtful frown, the meaning behind the girl's actions flying completely over his head. Before she could answer, Yugi turned to Jou, excused himself, and tore out of the auditorium before Anzu could spot him.
Not even ten minutes passed and Yami waltzed in glancing about curiously. He noticed Jou glance over in his direction and waved, frowning when it looked like the teen was having a heart attack. In a trail of smoke, Jou was standing in front of Yami, seemingly trying to shadow him from the stage.
"What are ya, crazee? She'll see ya!" he hissed, staring down at Yami like he was insane.
Yami laughed lightly and patted Jou's shoulder fondly, "Yeah I know, I just wanted to visit Yugi and see how he is doing. Where is he?" he asked finally noticing that his light's tri-colour hair was nowhere to be seen.
Jou leaned back a bit calmer, but still tense, "He got cull'ed down ta the stinkin' principal's office!" he answered making a face at his sworn enemies name. Jou was just as much a troublemaker as Yami and Bakura, but he got caught more often. The principal never did, quite forgive Jou for stealing his wig and tying it onto the school's mascot.
Yami opened his mouth to ask why, when a feathery 'Yami-kun!', was called up from the stage. Both boys blinked, and Anzu stood before them, hearts pulsing in her eyes, and hands firmly clasping Yami's. Jou nearly fell back in mock death and Yami's eye twitched in surprise and a hint (only a hint, he is a 5000 year old pharaoh, people!) of fear.
She opened her mouth to say something, then stopped, looked around and frowned. "But where is Yugi-chan? I could have sworn he was here a minute ago." She asked, glaring at the two as if they were the reason for the small boy's disappearance. Both males, sweat-dropped, taking an involuntary step back, the glare Anzu was giving them could have killed a cow.
"Th-the principal wunted 'im, down in his office!" Jou answered, swallowing his urge to look down and whimper. That nickname Kaiba stuck on him long ago really did describe him well, as much as he hated to admit it. Though if it came from Kaiba's sweet mouth, that Jou longed to kiss then.
* SHUT UP BRAIN!! * he mentally screamed at himself, his face reddening to Yami's eye colour. As Jou berated himself quietly, it left Yami and Anzu to stare questioningly, before shaking their dismissively. They really did not want to know.
"Yami-kun! I'm so glad you're here! There are a few things about your character I wanted to discuss." Anzu gushed hugging Yami's arm and dragging him off to the stage. Yami sighed inwardly; he had the sneaking feeling that he was not going to see Yugi until tonight.
Suddenly one of the lights crashed down on the stage, spreading fire across it and the curtains. Total silence reigned for a few short minutes, before the entire auditorium broke out in a wild snafu.
Yami groaned loudly and began to massage his temples as a flaming Ryou ran by, with a yelling Honda and Jou chasing after him. Re-ally, late tonight.
Yugi's quiet footsteps echoed in the empty halls of his high school. No doubt Yami had caused another disturbance that Yugi would have to bail him out of; situations like this was the only reason Yugi ever had to make trips to the office. Ahhh, Yami. The purpose of his life, the rose in his garden. Yes, Yugi was deeply in love with his dark half, and found himself thinking of Yami almost constantly now, though this did not bother Yugi. To him the dark's mere name echoing of the walls of his mind was pure bliss to the love struck light.
"Ah Motou, go right on in!" chimed the fluffy, life-as-prozack, receptionist who always sat outside the principal's office, accomplishing.nothing. Yugi never understood why Mr. Fujitaka kept her around, when all she did was talk on the phone, watch gushy soap operas, and file her manicured nails.
Heaving a heavy sigh, Yugi walked up to the oak door and knocked, wondering exactly what he was getting himself into now.
Okay this chapter didn't accomplish much, but the next one will be better, I promise!!! Reviews if you please, and I'll love you forever and throw flower petals at your feet!! By now you know the policy on flames!
