*********************************
Yugi stood in the doorway, staring at a blue animal hanging from the chandelier squirting Evan with a high-powered water gun.
Another, larger blue animal was dusting a desk and painting off to the right. And right in front of him was what appeared to be Kitty's head and shoulders sticking up out of the floor, yelling at Kurt and Evan, who were now squirting her head. All the while, Yugi stood in the middle of the huge doorway, completely dumb-founded
Yami, still hanging onto Yugi, had buried his face in Yugi's soft hair. //Why'd you stop?//
/L...Look,/ Yugi feebly replied, lifting his arm slightly to point.
As Yami looked up, Evan suddenly looked towards the new source of light and saw Yugi standing there.
"Uh...Kitty? Kurt? I think we should be going, now," Evan said, also raising his arm to point at Yugi.
Kitty stopped yelling and Kurt stopped laughing and turned off the gun to look at Yugi. Then Kitty quickly sank back into the ground while Kurt simply evaporated. Beast stopped dusting and looked behind him at the sudden subsidence of noise. Evan was still standing with his arm pointing at Yugi, so it was easy for Beast to find the source of the disturbance.
"I see," he said. "Evan, would you please go get the Professor? ...No, I mean physically go and get him. I think we owe our guest an explanation, or two."
Beast put down his feather duster, while Evan disappeared into the foyer, and approached Yugi. As he came closer, Yugi tried to back up, but was blocked by Yami, who seemed to be rooted to his spot.
//Maybe you should just go with him. We might finally get some answers.//
/But.../ Having to nothing to say that might change his Yami's mind, (BW: yes, capital "y"...) Yugi was forced to relent.
Beast came up next to Yugi and put his arm around Yugi's shoulders. Beast then pulled him inside and steered him to the left of the staircase and into an elevator that had been hidden by an entire wall. Once inside, Beast pushed the button that would take them to the second to last floor. As they rode, Yugi looked up at Beast, who was humming something and looking at the doors.
Ding.
Whoosh.
The elevator doors slid open and they proceeded into the plain, slivery- steal corridor. Beast kept looking up and whistling his tune while pulling Yugi along, but Yugi, himself, had just remembered that Yami had re-entered the puzzle.
/Yami, where are we going?/ Yugi questioned, beginning to panic when Yami didn't answer.
/Yami?!/
...No answer.
"Yami!!" This time, Yugi accidentally yelled out loud, in his desperation to get an answer.
Beast stopped, startled, and looked down at the trembling figure. 'What the...'
"Are you OK?"
Yugi slowly nodded his head. "Gomen."
Beast was confused for a moment, then realized what he must have meant. "That means 'sorry', right?"
Again, Yugi slowly nodded.
Beast shrugged, "OK."
They had come to the end of the hallway. Beast reached out and opened a door that had, at first, seemed to appear out of nowhere. Inside, Xavier sat behind a marvelous, oak desk with his finger tips placed together in front of him. He had his eyes tightly shut, as if in deep concentration. He looked up from his finished thought and gestured for the to take a seat.
As Yugi took a seat in one of the chairs in front of the Professor's desk, Beast stood. "Would you like me to leave so that you might explain better?"
The Professor looked up from putting something away. "If you would feel more comfortable, you may leave. I will let you know when we are done."
Beast nodded, and left through the door. But Yugi was getting more worried by the minute. Where had Yami gone? Yugi couldn't feel him in the puzzle, he couldn't hear him, and Yami certainly wasn't holding him anymore. Yugi looked up from his lap into the Professor's eyes.
"Is something bothering you, Yugi?" He was concerned, Yugi could tell by the look in his eye and the way he spoke.
Yugi shook his head, thinking, 'Like I'm really gonna tell you I can't find him.'
*****
Unbeknownst to Yugi, Yami was watching from his soul room. He didn't want to interfere for fear of losing his temper and exposing them. Unfortunately, that wasn't working. He could feel someone trying to get into Yugi's soul room. He walked to his door and cracked it just a little bit. As he looked outside, he saw a bald man walking up and down in front of the room. He stopped and knocked on the door.
'You be getting any answer. He's in control, right now,' Yami thought, savagely.
The man suddenly turned around and looked at Yami. Yami turned and slammed the door. Though not open very far, it still made enough noise to alert the man that there was someone inside. He suddenly disappeared.
*****
Professor Xavier had closed his eyes again, but they shot open. It was as if he had had a door slammed in his face. Yugi noticed this and raised his head slightly.
"Are you alright, Professor Xavier?" Yugi wanted to know why he had started acting so strange.
"Yes, thank you, Yugi." The Professor said, trying to sound convincing. "So, you walked into the foyer and say a few strange things, did you?"
Yugi nodded. (BW: i don't think he likes to talk, right now.)
"I see. Well, the one hanging from the chandelier was Kurt, that really was Kitty you saw sticking up out of the floor, and the one who brought you used to be a teacher at the high school. His name is Hank McCoy, but the students tend to call him 'Beast'. I hope you don't mind that we kept our little secret form you. You see, I run a school and boarding home for mutants."
Yugi didn't know how to respond to this, so he wisely kept his mouth shut.
Noticing his silence, the Professor went on, "I am, as you know, Professor Charles Xavier of the Xavier Institute. This really is a school, but it is also a place where we train mutants to control their powers. Do you understand why we had to keep our secret?"
Yugi pondered over this for a moment, the nodded. (Yugi: i really like to nod, in this chapter. BW: yup!)
The Professor paused and nodded to Yugi. "Alright, then. You may leave if you like."
Just then, Beast opened the door and held it open, waiting for Yugi to walk out. Yugi stood up and made his way out the door. He stopped at the door and turned to face the Professor. He bowed out the door and turned and walked down the hall before it was closed. He silently made his way to the elevator and waited for Beast to go in first. They went up to the ground floor. Yugi went to his room and locked the door. He was beginning to worry. Where had Yami gone?
/Yami...Are you back?/
In response, Yami came out of the puzzle and looked into Yugi's worry- filled eyes.
"Where were you?" he questioned, looking at Yami's softening face.
I was in the puzzle watching. I didn't want to come out and disrupt anything." He added, "I'm sorry for worrying you."
Yugi buried his face in Yami's chest as they sat down on the bed. "Do you think we should tell him about the puzzle and you?" Yugi questioned.
Yami shook his head. "I don't think so. Not quite yet, anyways. Professor Xavier, the man you spoke to, might very well know some, already. I saw him walking down the soul corridor."
Yugi looked up at Yami. "You mean like Shadi?" Yugi asked. Yami nodded. "How do you think he did that? I don't think he has a Millennium Item?"
Yami shook his head. "No, I would've been able to sense it at least a little bit. I think it was his power, like the mutants he was talking about." Yami continued at seeing Yugi confused look. "He was talking about how this place is for training new mutants, right?"
Yugi nodded.
"Well," Yami continued, "it would make sense if he, too had a power. If he were a mutant, himself."
Understanding crossed Yugi's face and he nodded again.
There was a soft "poot" by the door. The two turned to see what had caused the noise, but there was nothing there.
*****
Kurt was in Professor X's office. "Professor!"
"Yes, Kurt?"
"Professor! I just accidentally teleported into Yugi's room und zere vere TWO of him!"
"Two Yugis?" he asked aloud. The Professor raised a eyebrow and placed his finger together on top of the desk. "Hmm..."
Professor X looked at Kurt and held his eyes. Kurt let the Professor trace his mind, looking for the scene.
~~What Kurt Saw~~
Kurt was standing in his room. He decided to go get something to eat from the kitchen. He teleported from his room - into Yugi's room?! He was standing facing the door, so he decided to turn around apologize. As he did so, he saw Yugi with another Yugi sitting across from him on the bed! Kurt teleported before they could see him.
~~Back In The Office~~
Professor Xavier released Kurt from his hold. Kurt teleported to the kitchen and his original destination.
After Kurt had disappeared, Professor Xavier was left to his own thoughts. 'The transparent Yugi could be the one the one I saw in Yugi's mind.' He turned his wheelchair around to look out the window that gave him a view of the students playing football. Kitty was phasing through trees with the ball and being chased by Jamie. "There is something very different about Yugi Muoto," he muttered to himself
