L: WEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
YL: Watch out! She just had 2 cups of coffee!!!
L: Snow! Snow! Snow!!
YL: Oh yeah and it's snowing again. What's the big deal? It's just snow.
L: It never snows in this part of Oregon, it only ever rains.
YL: Big deal.
L: Give me one good reason not to hit you right now.
YL: Um...it's snowing?
L: Ok. *goes to window to watch the pretty snow*
YL: Wow I didn't think that would work. Ok time for disclaimer: we don't own Yu Gi Oh, if we did, well I'll tell you one thing I wouldn't be freezing to death in snowville.
L: K, chapter five: Did I say kiss? I meant..
"talking" 'thinking' /Yugi to Yami/ //Yami to Yugi//
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The entire table was silent; they were all watching Yami to see his reaction to the bomb that Nakia had just dropped. Nakia looked into his eyes trying to read his expression not wanting to read his thoughts because it was an invasion of his privacy. 'Why did I tell him? What will he say?' Yugi decided to break the tension; he could feel through their link that Yami was upset.
"Nakia, did he do anything else?" Nakia kept her eyes on her brother's,
"No Yugi, after.after he kissed me. I-I told him that he had to stop, that I had my duty to my brother, and that nothing he did would sway me from my course." Yami looked away from her eyes then he stood and ran off, he left the restaurant, and kept running. The table stayed silent and watched Nakia.
"I-I need to be alone for a while, I'm sorry that I ruined your plans." And with that she ran off in the opposite direction that Yami went.
~Yami's pov~
The moment she said he had kissed her all I wanted to do was scream. How could that maniac do that to my little sister?! Wait, when did she suddenly turn into my sister? Before we left for the restaurant I was still doubtful of that, and now I feel the need to protect her, to make sure she is never hurt. Is this what it is like to have a little sister? I feel this way about Yugi too, but with him it is different, he is the other part of my soul, and I love him. Nakia is my blood. I can feel it now, the connection that she claimed led her to me; I can feel her.
~Nakia's pov~
I'm so stupid! Why did I say that? Why did I tell him? But then, why did he run away? Is my brother ashamed of me? Is he angry with me for letting Malik kiss me? Why didn't he yell or scream like the old Yami would? Why didn't he jump up and declare that he would hunt Malik down and kill him? Yami used to do those things all the time; he used to want to protect me almost to the point that he was smothering me. But he's not my brother anymore, he's not pharaoh of all Egypt, he doesn't rule over all with his grace, he isn't the day and the night anymore. Somewhere along the line, the world realized that, but I haven't.
~normal pov~
Malik watched her, she had run to a park and was now sitting on a rock next to a stream, and she was crying. He stepped out from behind a tree and walked up to her. Her back was to him and he put a hand on her shoulder. When his hand touched her she almost jumped out of her skin, she turned around and looked at Malik. When she saw him she let out a little sob,
"What has your bastard brother done to you?" Malik asked kneeling down next to her. Nakia didn't say a word; she just threw her arms around Malik and cried into his shoulder. He put his arms around her and pulled her up so she was standing.
"That bad huh?" Nakia just kept crying.
Now that Yami could feel his sister he decided to follow and see where it led. She had gone to a park on the opposite side of town, he began to wander the park looking for her, and then he heard crying. Another memory came flooding back.
~Memory~
Nakia was crying, she must have been six at the time, and Yami was eight.
"Nakia please don't cry, what's wrong?" tears slipped down her face.
"It's my finger, I cut it." She held out her small hand to let Yami look at it.
"Oh Nakia it's only a scratch, you'll be fine." He said looking at her finger.
~End of memory~
"Nakia!" Yami whispered, and he ran towards the crying, but he stopped cold when he saw her in Malik's arms, being comforted, and petted by him.
"Shhhhhhh Nakia, it's alright, shhhhhhh." Malik whispered softly. One of his hands was softly stroking her curls while the other was wrapped securely around her. Yami saw red, his hands bawled up into fists.
"MALIK GET YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF MY LITTLE SISTER!" Yami shouted angrily. Nakia looked up in shock, and Yami saw the tear trails on her face. 'Had I done that to her?'
"Why should I let her go? Why should I give her back to you when you're the one who did this to her?!" Malik held her a little tighter. Yami was shocked. He walked up to them and punched Malik in the face, Malik fell to the ground and Nakia moved back in horror, as she watched her brother and Malik throw punches at each other and then roll around in the dirt.
"STOP IT!!" she screamed. But they kept fighting, hitting each other, kicking, scratching and clawing. Then Nakia had, had enough. She put her hands together then pulled them apart; as she did the boys flew apart. She stepped in between them.
"Enough with the testosterone!!" She said looking at them. She looked up at the sky, "Oh Ra help me." She looked back at them; both of them were covered in dirt. Malik's shirt was torn, he had a black eye, and he had a cut on his cheek. Yami had a black eye to match, and his lip was bleeding. They both glared at one another, both still on the ground about six feet between them, both breathing heavily.
Malik stood first, then Yami, neither of them said a word, their eyes were locked in a death glare. Then Malik looked at Nakia,
"Nakia, I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave." Nakia looked back at him as he filled the gap between them. "Forgive me for my rudeness." Yami saw red again, but he stayed where he was. Nakia and Malik looked in each other's eyes, and then Malik leaned down and kissed her. It was a small, soft, short kiss. "We'll talk again." He said in a whisper. Yami took a few steps towards them ready to punch Malik again but then Malik turned and left. Nakia, in a daze watched him leave. Yami glared as he watched him leave then he gently took Nakia by the shoulders and made her look in his eyes.
"Nakia, I may not remember everything about being your brother, but as your brother I'm telling you that Malik is bad news and you will stay away from him." Nakia nodded.
"Come on Yami lets go take care of those cuts and bruises." She and Yami left the park and headed back to the game shop. When they got back Yugi was there waiting for them, he looked very worried.
/What happened Yami?/
//I'm not badly hurt Aibou don't worry.//
"What happened Nakia?" Yugi asked, making Yami sit down on a stool in the kitchen.
"My baka brother decided to pick a fight with Malik." She said giving Yami a look. "Get a first aide kit and we'll fix him." She gave Yugi a smile. Yugi smiled back and went off to find a first aide kit. Yami watched Yugi leave; he had a strange expression on his face.
"I never thought it would be possible." Nakia said watching Yami.
"Never thought what would be possible?" Yami said, pulling his gaze from the place he last saw Yugi to look at her.
"My big brother is in love." Nakia said with a smirk.
"Is it that obvious?" Yami asked looking down at his hands.
"Yami, I'm your sister, I know your expressions, and that is definitely a look one gets when they are pining for someone." Yami sighed, and blushed. "The real question is: why haven't you told him you love him?"
"How do you know I haven't told him? I could have told him and he could have rejected me." Yami said looking up at her.
"Yami, if you had told Yugi that you loved him I can guarantee you that he would have greeted you with a kiss a minute ago." Yami looked at her with a confused look on his face.
"What?"
"Is it only obvious to me?" She looked up at the ceiling, "Oh Ra, my poor brother." She looked at Yami again. "Yugi is very much in love with you Yami."
"She's right Yami." Said Yugi, he had been standing in the hall listening to the entire conversation. He was blushing a deep shade of red.
//Truly Aibou?//
/truly./ Nakia smiled and took the first aide kit Yugi.
//I love you too Yugi.//
"Ok boys enough with the mushy stuff, let's get Yami fixed up here and then you two can go talk." Nakia said as she began to clean Yami's cut lip. Yami and Yugi nodded, and Yugi helped Nakia clean up the rest of Yami's cuts. Then she left the two of them alone at the game shop and went for a walk.
"Have fun boys." She said as she left the shop. She then began to walk around aimlessly, her thoughts were all mixed up, and she couldn't seem to straighten them out. The sun had begun to set and her wandering had brought her back to the park she had been earlier, but this time she went and sat on a swing, and watched the sun sink.
Malik had followed her since she had left the game shop; he had followed her all over town and now that she was alone he came up behind her and pushed her swing. When she felt herself go foreword she let out a little squeal. Then she looked behind her not knowing what to think until she saw Malik. He grinned at her and when the swing came back at him, he pushed her again. She turned around and looked foreword.
They stayed like this for a little while longer, him pushing her, and her looking out at the sunset. Then just as the sun had gone and the swing had come back to him he took a hold of the chains, and stopped her. Then he whispered in her ear,
"I told you we'd talk again."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
L: ok I know we said that we would have Malik plotting in this chapter but I think this way is slightly better.
YL: That and she's lazy.
L: Don't start. I'm warning you.
YL: Oooo what ya gonna do? Sick your twenty pound cat on me?
L: Something like that.
YL: I'm not afraid of your cat.
L: Well, you should be.
YL: *rolls eyes* yeah yeah yeah. REVIEW!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
L: WEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
YL: Watch out! She just had 2 cups of coffee!!!
L: Snow! Snow! Snow!!
YL: Oh yeah and it's snowing again. What's the big deal? It's just snow.
