Kurayami no Koishii: Incubus?
~ @ Lunch ~
Jounochi-kun was the first to greet me at our usual table. Ryou and Honda followed soon after, and Anzu showed up just minutes later. Raising my chopsticks to my lips, I was suddenly interrupted when I noticed they were all staring at me.
"Na- nani?" I gulped, and Hiroto spoke up.
"So, Yuugi… Tells us more about this 'Yami-chan' of yours…."
Katsuya cut in, "Yeah! Is she hot or what?!"
I blushed, then coughed nervously. "He…."
THAT got their attention.
"NANDE?! KIMI NO OKAMA DA NA?!" WHAT?! YOU'RE GAY?! they exclaimed, jumping up out of their seats.
All eyes turned to them, and the cafeteria went silent. Luckily, no one could make heads or tails of what they'd said, since they'd yelled at different times and blended the words together. They sat back down, sweatdropping, and the lunch room slowly started buzzing with random conversation again.
"Hai… I think it's just this one person though… I've never liked anyone else…"
Ryou blinked. "Eh? What do you mean?"
I sighed, imagining my shadowed love. The feeling was hard to put into words, even if it filled my very soul. Still, I would try to grasp the ephemeral metaphor.
"He completes me, as if he were my other half. And yet, I've never held interest for any other, be it a boy or a girl…. He's just… different, some how…. I don't really know how to explain it…"
Some part of my rambling must have gotten through to him, since he grasped my hand, smiling. "I understand completely! You feel he's 'the one', right? You're soulmates!"
Soulmates? Could it really be that? "I- I dunno…. I mean, we just met a little while ago… A few weeks, at most…"
Anzu interrupted, the start of yet another peace, love, and friendship rant… "So? Follow your heart, Yuugi!"
The others gave me an annoyed look, as if saying 'now see what you made her do?!'. I sweatdropped, clearing my throat to catch Anzu's attention again, then filled them in on the details of how Yami-chan and I met. After I was finished, they all had varying degrees of worry on their faces.
"Yuugi, how do you know this guy isn't one of those crazy stalkers who woo their prey and kill 'em afterwards?" Well, Katsuya put that rather bluntly….
"And how can he look exactly like you? He could be a long lost relative, for all you know!" Hiroto and the incest topic….
"Are you sure you just aren't having warped recurring dreams?" And there's Anzu with the last possible option, give the girl a prize!
I was about to say that I'd thought of all that already, when Ryou intervened and remembered the puzzle factor in the love equation. Sugoi- someone actually thought of that… His explanation for Yami's appearance was a bit unnerving, though… To say the least…
He pulled out an old-looking leather-bound book, flipping through the yellowed pages in search of something. It seemed to be a dictionary of legendary and mythological creatures, but why would Yami have anything to do with that?
"Aiya! Found it!" he exclaimed, pointing to a line of extremely small print. "Incubus: a spirit or demon thought in medieval times to lie on sleeping persons, esp. on women for the purpose of sexual intercourse; see also SUCCUBUS….."
He snapped the book shut, locking eyes with me. "Are you sure your 'shadow lover' isn't one of them?"
Jou-kun frowned, raising an eyebrow. "So Yami could just be a really horny demon?"
I blushed, then glared at them. How dare they say such things about him! "He couldn't be! We haven't done anything like that at all! Besides…" a small smirk came to my face, thinking of the one solid bit of evidence I had. "Neither of us are from the area that Incubus are supposedly from. Yami's Egyptian…."
The bell rang, signaling lunch was over. I rose from my seat, tossing what was left of my bento, and turned to leave. No sense waiting for my 'friends'… I was mad enough at them for accusing Yami of being such horrible things… Unfortunately, Ryou ran up, catching my shirt sleeve so I couldn't brush him off.
"What do you want?" I inquired, giving him my best glare.
His features softened, and he let me go. "Just- be careful, okei? None of us want you to get hurt…"
"I won't be, but I'll keep your advice in mind…" I stated calmly, then continued on to class.
But I couldn't help wondering… Could he be right?
