*********************************
It was close to midnight and Yami and Yugi were barely getting to sleep. Yugi turned over on his side and snuggled closer to Yami. Yami was already asleep, but closed his arms around Yugi, anyway. Yugi was asleep within an instant, but his sleep was restless.
Yugi was walking up and down the halls in the Institute. He walked past Professor Xavier's office. Someone was inside. Yugi cracked the door, slightly, but found no one. "Hmm... Wonder what that was all about?" He shrugged and moved on. He was walking kitchen. Kurt was raiding the fridge, again. Yugi sat down at the counter, but Kurt didn't notcie him. He stood up out of the fridge and turned around. Then, he did think he felt someone, or something, in the room, but he dismissed it as being too tired.
Kitty walked into the kitchen, yawning and stretching. "Ya know," she started, part way through a yawn, "you really make a lot of noise getting food in the middle of the night. And don't you, like, ever change that watch to give you pajamas, or something? You look really weird always wearing the same thing." She walked up to the counter on Yugi's left and leaned against it, chin in her right hand with her left folded in front of her on the counter.
"You know zat I can't," Kurt explained. "Only ze Professor can do zat. But I'll turn it of, for a vile. It does get kind of old looking at ze same sing in ze mirror," he shrugged. Kurt reached down to the watch he always wore on his right arm an pushed a button.
Yugi almost fell out of his chair when the blue creature that had been hanging off the chandelier, earlier, was standing in front of him in Kurt's place.
Kitty was yawning again as though this was perfectly normal, and Yugi had to wonder if she was brain dead, or something.
"Well, it's better then those clothes, I guess. But you really should get a new uniform. Or at least wash the one you're in!" she said, waving her hand of her nose to emphasize the remark.
"Ja?" He reached down and pulled a part of the uniform up to his nose to see if she was right. He quickly released it and pinched his nose closed. "I guess you're right," agreed, flipping the "r" in "you're".
"I'm going back to sleep. You better keep it down, Kurt, or be expecting some surprises when you wake up." She walked out of the room, hands behind her head.
Kurt watched her leave and had to chuckle. "Sure. You do zat, you'll be getting some surprises, yourself, Shadowcat." Yugi was king at Kurt when he said this, but hadn't moved once!
'Whoa,' Yugi thought. 'I must REALLY be dreaming for that to have happened.'
Kurt turned around and faced Yugi, staring at him, but looking past him, as well. Kurt reached down to the watch and turned the holograph back on, his eyes never leaving whatever they were looking at.
"H - Hello?" he said to the darkness. "Is somebody zere?" When no reply came, he turned and put a milk carton he had gotten out back into the fridge. As he came up and closed the door, he eyed the window warily and left the kitchen.
Yugi watched him leave and turned to look out the window when Kurt had turned the corner. Seeing nothing, Yugi jumped out of the chair and hurried after Kurt. Getting up alongside him, Yugi said, "What were you looking at through the-"
"Zere is definitely somesing going on around here," Kurt said.
Yugi tapped Kurt on the shoulder. "Kurt? Is something wrong? What's going on?" He got no response. Yugi stopped and let Kurt turn the next corner. This time, though, he did not follow. "I agree with Kurt: something's definitely going on, around here."
POUND! POUND! POUND!
"Yugi?!" someone called. "Yugi! Get up! We're gonna be late for school!"
On the bed, Yugi stirred, enclosed in Yami's embrace, not wanting leave the comfort of his warmth.
Yami was awake, and, knowing Yugi had had a hard night, he called back, "I'm not feeling so good. You go ahead, I'll catch up."
There was a pause. "Well," the voice said, "if you're sure. But hurry up. You'll haf'ta walk if one's here to take you!" Footsteps could be heard leaving down the hall. They were alone, again.
Yami shook Yugi gently. Yugi stirred and open one amethyst eye. He smiled up at Yami. "Ohayou," was heard, softly passing his lips.
Yami smiled. "Ohayou, aibou." His embrace tightened for a moment and then released, letting Yugi stretch widely and yawn himself awake. "It's time for school."
Yugi frowned, remembering the dream he had had that night. Reluctantly, he got up and got dressed, aware of Yami watching as his back muscles flexed with each movement. As he turned around, Yami smiled and disappeared in a flash of light. Yugi walked up to the beside table and picked up the puzzle.
//Better hurry. They'll be leaving any minute//
With that, Yugi unlocked the door and bolted down the hall, just in time to flag down the last car pulling out of the drive. He hopped into the back with some help from Jamie and Kitty and they were on way to school. ((BW: ok, too lazy to go through the school day. let's just skip ahead to after school, shall we?))
Yugi was walking back to the Institute, again. He took a slightly different route, though. He was walking through a forest that he had been told led to the back of the Institute. Yami was in the puzzle sleeping.
There was something in the bushes up ahead. Yugi stopped and looked at the rustling bushes, trying to see if it would come out or what it was from where it was. A big dog jumped out of the bush and stopped in front of them. It looked up, sat down, and wagged it's tail furiously. Yugi took a step forward, reaching for it, and it barked at him. Yami was eyeing the dog cautiously.
"Maybe we should just leave it alone," Yami said.
"Hmm..." Yugi set his backpack on the ground and held his hand out again. This time, the dog reached up with it's head and put it into Yugi's hand, rubbing against him. Yugi giggled at the pleased look on the dog's face.
He stood and picked up his backpack, continuing on to the Institute. He had gone a few steps when he turned. The dog was sitting looking at him, head tilted slightly to the side. "Can I come? I think I'm lost..."
Yugi's eyes widened. Had that dog just spoken?! Yugi looked around. Yami was still asleep, so he hadn't said anything. And there was nobody else around. He looked back at the dog. "Um..." he said uncertainly. "I don't see why not...? Um... Ok."
The dog's ears perked up and it bounded up to Yugi, waiting for him to carry on. Yugi turned once again and went on, the dog prancing on his right.
As they reached the back of the Institute, the dog bounded off to the left and disappeared in the bushes again. Yugi stared after it, expecting it to come back out. When it didn't, he shrugged and went inside.
Yugi, Yami still napping, walked into the kitchen to find Kurt with his head in the fridge again. "Hey, Kurt," he greeted as he put his backpack on the floor next to a stool. He lifted himself up via the counter and sat.
Kurt paused, turned and stood to see who had entered. His face softened into an easy grin when he saw Yugi. "Oh,. Hey, Yugi. How's sings?" he questioned.
Yugi shrugged. "Not to bad, I guess." He looked at the counter, wondering what to say, next. He remembered the dog and looked up to see Kurt leaning on the counter across from him, studying him intensely. "Um..." Yugi started, slightly unnerved by the look. "Do you know anything about a dog that's been running around, lately?"
Kurt stopped chewing on a bologna sandwich he had found to think. "Vell..." he said, "zere hahs been zis volf in ze voods, somtimes, but she's harmless. Vhy do you ahsk?"
Yugi blinked. "Be-because I think it followed me back here..." he stammered.
Rahne Sinclair walked into the kitchen. "hey Kurt!" she greeted, seemingly not noticing Yugi.
"Hey, Rahne," he replied as she ducked into the open fridge door. Kurt turned slightly so that he was still leaning on the counter, but more on his side than his front. "Yugi, here," he began, motioning to Yugi, "vast just telling me how a volf zat followed him up to ze institute."
Rahne paused and stood up, turning to look at Yugi. She looked him over in a scrutinizing manner. "Was he, now," she said, dragging it out, slightly. She shrugged and turned to Kurt. "Denken Sie ihn wissen? ((Do you think he knows?))" she asked in German.
Taking up on the clue, Kurt switched to his native tongue, as well. " Ich würde nicht auf es zählen, aber bin acreful. ((I wouldn't count on it, but be careful.))" he replied.
Rahne blushed and fidgeted, slightly. " Ich wußte nicht, daß dieses das Zicklein... war.((I didn't know this was the kid...))"
Kurt looked at her. "Honest!" she claimed to the you-should-have-known look Kurt was giving her. She glanced one last time at Yugi, gave him a small almost apologetic smile, grabbed a sandwich and left through the door at the other side of the kitchen. Yugi and Kurt watched her leave. When she turned the corner, Yugi turned back around. Kurt was examining him, again.
"Um..." Yugi said, trying to think of some reason he had to be going. "I have a lot of homework to do. I'll see you at dinner." With that, he slid off the stool, grabbed his backpack from off the floor and left through the same door as Rahne.
Kurt shrugged and left through the opposite from Yugi. He looked up and down the hall, just to be sure, and evaporated with a small puff and smoke cloud.
