"This is talking"
'These are thoughts'
Yugi pulled away from Aurora as heard his name being called, looking over at the door. His stomach did about three flips at once when he saw who was standing in the doorway, looking at him with a mixture of shock and anger. "Yami! I... I uh.."
Aurora looked nervously at Yami, then Yugi, taking a few steps away from him while glancing worriedly at them. Yami was frozen for a minute, taking a few steps forward and standing in front of his friend, almost brother, in shock. All the anger inside him suddenly released as he raised his hand and struck Yugi hard across the face, causing him to fall to the floor. "What do you think you're doing?!" He yelled angrily.
Yugi groaned and looked up at Yami, hand pressed against the side of his face to supress some of the pain. What was he supposed to say? Unfortunately, not giving Yami in answer is worse then telling him the truth. "Get out!" Yami yelled, pointing towards the door. His glare was like daggers, cuting through Yugi's soul.
Pushing himself to his feet while trying to keep what little dignity he had left, Yugi faced Yami. This one moment had changed them both, and not for the better. Taking a deep breath, he spoke up. "I know you love her, but your not the only one..."
"Get out!" Yami repeated, louder this time. His anger was growing noticably, as he began to struggle to restrain himself.
Yugi stood silent for a minute, before looking over at Aurora, who turned her head away. He brushed passed his 'brother' quickly and out the door without a word, blinking back the tears in his eyes. He slowed to a walk once he was outside the door and Yami closed it, listening intently to what Yami was saying to Aurora.
"What happened?" Came Yami's muffled voice came from the room.
"It was an accident.... I'm sorry Yami..."
"Sorry? Your sorry?! He should be the one that's sorry!"
"Yami calm down.... he's your best friend-"
"Was, my best friend...."
Yugi shut his eye's tight, clenching his fist as a sharp pain shot through his heart. It was as though a needle had been pushed right through, and his raised his fist, pressing it on his heart. Tears escaped his eyes as the pain of rejection became to strong for his feeble emotions to defend against. Yami had been his best friend, his brother, and now.... now Yugi didn't know what they where...
Turning sharply away, tears turning into resisted sobs, he ran down the corridor, struggling to stop crying though the his attempt where in vain. He ran into his room and threw himself onto his bed, hugging his pillow and sobbing into it.
He loved Aurora. She made him feel... he couldn't describe it. It was like everything was right in the world as long as she was happy. He would have thought anything was worth it to be with her. But...
This was something that had never crossed his mind, though now he knew it should have. Yami had saved his life and given him a home, taken care of him and always been ther for him, and now... he hated Yugi.
But it wasn't Yugi's fault he was in love.
Still, he could have tried to get over it.
He couldn't, it was to difficult.
But he was going to los his brother because of this.
All these thoughts and more ran through Yugi's head, one side debating against another, proving no right answer. The confusion only made him cry harder, burying his face deeper into the pillow.
He was confused, and frightened, and alone.... Looking up, only one thought entered his mind.
"I have to leave..."
He turned and ran as quickly as he could, the light of the moon barely guiding his way. He pulled the extra cloak around him, trying to keep somewhat warm. Egypt was freezing at night. He ran aimlessly through the streets, dodging people and stalls, until his path became clear, and he felt the sand of the desert beneath his feet. He looked out onto the sea of sand.
He sighed heavily and walked forward, his feet sinking slightly into the cold sand. He had no destination, he had no home, he was alone.... all he could do was wander. To a better life? Imposible.... To death? Highly possible. He turned and looked back, the light caused by the fires and candles in the castle visible in the distance. Tears brimmed once more in his eyes, as he tore his sight from his home.
"Goodbye Yami...."
