A Summer Dream
Pan: Sorry, this took FOREVER, and went through THREE different versions while I was writing it. Kujaku Mai gets introduced! And she's nasty! Whoop! I plan to bring in another few characters from the show soon as well. Goody goody!
Your reviews made me laugh so hard, I nearly fell off my bed. And people want to kill me... and thank you for the plushies and the flamethower, Koishii no Tenshi! Here is some free advice; assume nothing.

Yugi squeezed his eyes shut tightly, bidding the tears not to come. His body shook with unheard sobs, fists clenched in an effort to hold his sadness in...
...until something soft pressed up against his lips, and something warm traced up his bare arms. He opened his eyes in surprise, just as Yami pulled away from him. "Except 'aishiteru'." the taller boy smiled gently. Yugi looked up at him silently for a moment, before flinging his arms about Yami, and sobbing into his koi's chest. "Sorry... I'm so sorry..." Yugi murmured as his tears dried. Yami held him gently, letting him cry his apologeticness away. (Pan: Yes, I damn well know that 'apologeticness' is not a word!)
"I'd forgive you anything." Yami said as the shorter boy in his arms fell quiet again. "I owe you my life." Yugi shook his head. "No, no, you owe me nothing! You paid me back long, long ago!" he said. Yami laughed quietly. "I suppose, koi, I suppose."

A brunette girl sat behind a glass window, waiting for her visitor. She was dressed in the gaudy orange of the prisoner's uniform, her arms folded across her chest, and her face showing annoyance. After quarter of an hour of waiting, a blonde girl was shown in. The two were left alone to talk.
"So, Anzu honey, how've you been?" the blonde asked, sitting down. "How do you think I've been?" Anzu hissed angrily in reply. "Another four-and-a- half years in this shithole - I'm fed up already!" The blonde blinked pointlessly. "Regretting it then, are we?" she asked, amused. Anzu shook her head. "Of course not. At least I caused those queers some grief." she smirked.
"Speaking of those two, are you ready to begin our plan?" The blonde nodded. "Yes, dear, I called the taller one... what's his name now? Well, whatever, I called him a few months ago, and claimed to be his mother. Didn't believe me, of course." She sighed. "How on earth did you find out his real name?" Anzu smiled. "Now, that's a secret!" she said. "They put me here, it's time for them to pay! Yami, or should I say, Atemu, especially."
"Whatever you say, darlin'." The blonde stood up and left, Anzu smirking darkly, before being 'escorted' back to her cell.

"Idiots!" Bakura exclaimed over breakfast. Everyone looked up at him in surprise. He was glaring pointedly at Yami and Yugi. "Why did you have to go and worry us all, and many more besides last night?!" the white-haired teenager continued. Ryou poked him in the side. "That's none of your business..." Bakura turned his glare on Ryou now. "When Yugi shouting wakes me up at midnight, it's my business!" he said angrily. Yugi rolled his eyes. The arguement between Bakura and Ryou continued in this fashion for sometime, and by the end of it, everyone else had left the breakfast table.
"You know, you were right, Yami." Yugi said as they walked towards their shared bedroom. Yami looked down at him curiously. "About what, Yu-chan?" he asked. Yugi smiled. "I have been working too hard. I really should take a break." Yami shrugged. "It is your choice, like you said. I'm sorry I offended you." Yugi shook his head. "Never mind, never mind... anyway, I was going to say, how about we spend this day together, just you and me?" Yami smiled and nodded. "I'd like that."

"Hey Yami! Some chick's here to see you!" Bakura shouted up while the two lovers were preparing to go out. Yami sighed. "I wonder who that could be?" he murmured quietly, leaving the room to find out who the 'chick' was. Yugi trotted after him silently.
In the entrance hall stood a tall blonde girl, older than Yami. She wore a short purple skirt, and jacket, with a white shirt. She smiled at Yami as he entered. "Hello there!" she said in a sickly-sweet voice. "Who are you?" Yami asked, none too politely. The girl smiled. "I'm a cousin of yours - your mother sent me to get you. She's been terribly upset since you blew her off on the phone a while ago. The name's Mai. Kujaku Mai."
Yami folded his arms. "I have no mother, Mai. I only have the family that I have here with me now. I am not leaving." he said stubbornly. Mai pouted. "Please, just come visit her then? Onegai?" she asked sweetly. "No!" Yami said. "Oh, what can it hurt?" Mai said, trying to persuade him into it. "I don't know what's happened to you; you've forgotten your mother, your name..."
"MY NAME IS KISEKI YAMI!" Yami yelled angrily. Mai shook her head. "It's not. Your name is Hitori Atemu." she said simply. "That name is written on a tombstone in a cemetery near here." Yami growled quietly. "It is not mine." "That's because everyone thought that you were dead!" Mai protested. "Please, Atemu, you only have to come this once!"
"MY NAME IS YAMI!"
"You name is Hitori Atemu, whether you like it or not, and you're too heartless to visit a poor woman who has worried about you for nine years!"
"I have no family! I have no mother, and you are not my cousin!" Yami fumed. "Now GET OUT!"
"Not until you come with me!"
"No!"
"Fine..." Mai muttered. Her eyes fixed on Yugi for a second, and she smiled inwardly. She turned and pretended to storm out. Yami glared at her the whole time. Yugi walked up behind him, and rested his hand on his lover's shoulder. "Are you okay, Yami?" he asked quietly. The taller turned to him with a soft smile. "Yes, I'm alright." he said quietly. "Now are you ready to go?" Yugi nodded cheerfully. "Yeah!" Yami wrapped his arm around Yugi's waist as they left for town.

"That went to plan..." Mai thought as she drove her car back to her apartment. "Now all I need to do is kidnap the little one!"
