Superhero Shadow
All thoughts aside for this chapter will be Yugi's.
"What do you do if you like someone, I mean really like, but are afraid they'll reject you?"
'Oh. I dunno, really. But I like Yami. Is this question pure chance, or does he feel the same way? I don't think I can risk it.'
"Well, I'd confront them." Yugi said quickly. Yami nodded. "Yeah... Thank you." He got up, and left the room. "Keep practising. I'll be back soon."
'So, I'll practice. Maybe if I get really good at this, he'll like me the way I like him. It's more love than like. I LIKE Jonouchi. I LOVE Yami. There's a difference.'
Yami left the house. Unknown to him, Bakura and Ryou were watching. "Well? Do we turn him over to Marik?" Ryou asked. "I don't know... he's after the statue though. Probably doing the hero bit, no idea what it does." Bakura answered. "What DOES it do?" Ryou said. "Amplifies Heka." Bakura said. "In the wrong hands, it can also open portals to other realms. If Yami had it, it would open to the Realm of Darkness. If Marik had it, it would open to the Restricted Realm, where everything magical is sealed away, and only released by certain people."
"So, if Marik took Shadow's Heka, and added it to his own, then used the power from the statue, he would be almost unstoppable." Ryou said gravely. "I don't think we can allow Marik to get it. Or him." "You're right. It won't be long before the statue is shipped off though. We have to get Shadow to stop it, or we'll never get it back." Bakura pointed out. "Not just Shadow," said Ryou. "Can't you sense it? A growing source of lighter Heka nearby." "Of course I can sense it!" Bakura snapped. "It's Yugi."
Yami soon returned, holding a bag very carefully. Instead of opening the door, he glanced around, then walked through it. He sneaked it into his room, now abandoned as Yugi went downstairs to get lunch. He found a note on his pillow.
"The statue will soon leave the country. It is in Domino Harbor. I will tell you no more." it read.
"Good. A chance for Yugi." Yami opened the bag. It contained a mask, much like his own, only in gold and black, instead of silver. He wrote his own note, and pinned it to the mask. He silently slipped through the wall, and left the gift on Yugi's bed, before slipping back.
~oOOo~
Yugi trotted up to his room, holding a sandwich. He was intending to check his email, but on entering the room, remembered that his connection had been cut off. He shrugged, and turned towards the wall that connected his room to Yami. As he was about to walk through it, something caught his eye. Something laying on his bed. He put his half-finished lunch on a table, and went to pick it up. He stared in wonder at the dark mask, and read the note.
"Yugi, I got this for you. Don't ask where, don't ask how, I just want you to have it. This is an offer to you, to become my partner, and to use your new Heka abilities. Don't feel that you have to. There is something here more powerful than any Heka ever used in the entire history of the world. I was afraid to tell you before, but now I feel I must. I love you, Yugi. I don't know if you feel the same way, but I love you, nothing else matters.
Yami."
The note read. Yugi gaped at it, then a look of joy floated across his face. Holding the mask, he ran at the wall, glowing blue and passing through it, and crashing into Yami, who was standing against the wall, right where Yugi emerged. They both fell to the floor, and Yugi managed to hug Yami.
"Thank you!" Yugi pretty much yelled. Yami was almost frozen with the shock of falling to the floor, but managed to return the hug. "So does this mean...?" he asked. "Yes, I accept, and I DO love you, Yami!"
