Entry Five
If I could forget one thing in my past, it would be that day.
I cried a river, and was swallowed up in my misery, that I didn't notice someone coming into the bathroom, and opening the bathroom stall.
"Yugi?" came Seto's voice.
I looked up with a jolt in my heart, and looked up to see him standing before the stall, concern clearly in his eyes.
"Yugi..."
"Yami is such a bastard. He told everyone what I am, now, now..." I couldn't finish, and I broke down again.
Strong arms wrapped around me, and I immediately felt my sadness melt, and fell into the embrace, but was a bit surprised when I felt fingers bring my face up, but I refused to look into his eyes.
"Yugi, look at me," Seto whispered and I did.
His long fingers wiped away my tears, then trailed upon my lips.
"Seto?"
"Yugi, please...don't cry. It hurts me to see you like...this," he whispered, and he kissed me.
More tears fell from my lashes, but I did not pull back, because I didn't feel there was any need to.
There was comfort, and love in that kiss, and it eased my hurting heart.
'Why did you do this to my Yami!'
"YUGI!"
I jerked back, looking up, gasping as I saw Jounouchi at the doorway, staring at the both of us with Honda behind him.
"JOUNOUCHI!" I shouted in surprise.
Jounouchi's usual optimistic expression was now livid fury, and his face was stained red.
"I thought you were my friend. You knew how I felt about Seto since last year!" he shouted. "You knew I loved Seto but you take him away anyway!"
"You...loved me?" Seto asked, flabbergastered.
Jounouchi gasped as he realized his error, and turned away, blushing deeply.
"Thanks alot, now he knows! I can't face him ever again!" he shouted and ran.
"Jou!" Honda shouted, and ran after him, but not before shooting me a glare that would have killed me dead flat if the term 'if looks could kill' were true.
I slipped down to my knees, and trembled.
"Oh, god, oh, god, what have I done?" I whispered.
Seto was silent, staring at the place Jou had been, before kneeling before me.
"Yugi, Yugi, it wasn't your fault. We can't help the way we feel. I'll talk to him after this, but Yugi..."
"No, no, it is my fault. Everything's my fault," I cried.
I felt exactly like Momo Adachi from the manga Peach Girl (and yes I do read that comic book! What? Lots of guys read it, and pretty much for the 'stuff' but I read it for the moral! And Momo's dead hot! Though some boys I know perfer Sae, like Honda, and this other guy, but then again, some guys agree with me, like Yami, Seto, Jou, and... ^^....eh...how about I continue?).
"I wish I was dead."
"NO!" Seto shouted, and I looked up, startled. "Don't ever say that, don't you dare even think about it!"
"Wha..."
"I love you Yugi, I don't want you to let go."
Tears welled up in my eyes.
"Seto!" I shouted, embracing him tightly.
"Shhhhhh, its alright Yugi. What ever happens, I'll be there for you, and I'll help you when you need support. You understand?"
"(sniff) Yes."
"Good, now lets get to class before we get detention."
"Alright."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I ignored Yami and Marik, while I was ignored by Jou and Honda, and nearly burst into tears of relief when the end of the bell rang.
In truth, I was a little excited, despite all that had happened to me that day, because Seto had invited me to go ice skating.
Seto had met me outside of school and we were driven to the ice rink, where we fit our skates and started gliding upon the ice.
I was surprised that Seto could be so graceful upon the ice, despite his tall stature, and laughed when he nearly collided into a wall.
A sigh escaped my lips as I glided slowly upon the ice, embracing the cold that touched my skin and touched my lungs.
It felt so good, to embrace the feeling and smiled as I felt arms grab me, and nearly fell over.
"Seto!" I shouted, hitting him playfully on the head, as he hung on to my waist.
"Hey, you were being to serious out there, when you are suppose to smile," he protested.
And a smile did touch my lips, and I laughed.
"Alright, alright, just stop grabbing me. Someday you are going to grab me, and I'm going to die of heart failure," I joked, poking him on the cheek.
He smirked as he let me go, and slipped his hand in mine, and guided me around the rink, as I held his hand.
It was a nice 'date', just as nice as the one I've had with Yami in the past...
Anway, after skating, we both warmed up by drinking hot cocoa, then sadly had to depart, since he had a meeting to go to.
He kissed my cheek, as the limo parked in front of the game shop, and we said our goodbyes before he left.
I sighed with happiness, before I went inside, only to become face to face with Grandpa.
"Hi Grandpa," I said, with a lop sided smile.
"Yugi? Where were you? I was getting worried, and who was that young man?" he demanded.
I think I was in a dazed state, because I don't really remember hearing much of what Grandpa said, but I do remember staring out where the limo was driving off, and I think I was blushing.
"YUGI!" Grandpa shouted, and I jumped.
"Huh?"
I watched him sigh and shake his head.
"Don't tell me your dating another guy!"
My cheeks heated, and I turned away.
"I guess your going to stop talking to me now," I mumbled sadly.
"...no, not this time, because now I have come to terms that my little Grandson is growing up."
Surprise flooded my mind as I whirled around and...sweatdropped as Grandpa did a weird grin.
"Wha!? I thought you didn't talk to me because I was _dating_ guys!"
"Hm? Well, I admit I was shocked, but no, I could understand that, the reason I was being so cold was because...well...I couldn't really come to terms that my little Yugi was growing up. I know it was no excuse in speaking coldly, but when ever I see you, I think of that young man that was going to steal you away from me someday. I guess you could say I was jeolous...jeolous that you would be giving you heart to someone else, not to mention a little mad at you, don't ask why because I don't remember," he explained and wrapped an arm around my shoulders. "You and me have always been pretty tight, ever since you were just a little baby, and you always came to depend on me and everything. You were my world, and the most important person to me, then I see that young man coming along and my percious treasure is moving farther and farther away from me...you understand me?"
I smiled, chuckling lightly, and giving him a big hug.
"Don't worry Grandpa. Just because I'm dating doesn't mean I'll be moving away from you. In fact, I think it would be nice to keep living here if I get married."
"Whoa! Whoa! I just got over you dating people, lets not get into marriage yet," Grandpa said, shaking his finger.
"And just think, maybe I might end up with a girl after all, and if you live long enough, you can have _great_ grandchildren!" I said happily.
Grandpa patted me on the shoulder before heading back towards the counter.
"Your giving me heart attacks Yugi. You maybe grown up, but not that much! And heaven forbid, I don't even want to think of more little brats running around the shop," he joked.
"Grandpa!"
"Hahahahaha, well, you better get your homework done, don't you have a study session with that Jounouchi kid?" Grandpa asked, and everything came rushing at me.
I gripped my backpack straps tightly, looking away as I hurried towards the back of the shop.
"We're not friends anymore Grandpa. He hates me," I whispered before I scuttled up the stairs and into my room.
I shut the doro silently, before flopping onto my bed and closing my eyes, letting everything run through my head.
First, I had a bad relationship with Yami, then we become boyfriend, and boyfriend, then we break up, then I get together with Seto, and Jounouchi gets pissed at me. What a life.
Suddenly, I felt a flash of pain in my head, and sat up aburtly.
'What the hell was that?'
I winced as something sharp tugged my mind and my face turned towards the window and I staggered towards it, climbing onto my desk, and looked through it.
At the bottom, was a young man, dressed in a sleevless purple shirt, showing his toned muscle bisceps, and tight black pants, completed with black boots.
He wore a cloak with the hood drawn over his head, so I could only see the bottom half of his face, and the wisps of bleached blonde hair.
There was some kind of golden axe in his hand, with a weird eye symbol on it.
'Who is this freak?'
I was going to open my mouth and yell at him, but it would not open.
All I could do was stare at him, while he looked up at me, holding his axe thingy upward, and it...glowed?
I winced again as a fierce pain struck my head.
~Do you know the location of Yami Mutou?~
"Yes," I heard myself say, and I became horrified.
'Is he controlling me? But how!'
~Tell me where he is~
"Why?" I asked, being in control, but I felt myself drifting away.
It was a weird sensation, like I was pushed back a bit and there was a dazed coat around my mind, but the deep inside was still consious, and panicing.
~No, questions! Just tell me where he lives!~
"N-no," I struggled, clutching my head tightly.
I saw a sneer appear upon the strangers mouth, and he raised the axe thing even higher, and it shone brightly.
A cry of pain escaped my lips, as spears of pain stabbed at my mind.
~Tell me where he is! You can not fight me for long!~
"W-why do you w-w-want to k-know?" I grunted.
~I will find him, then I shall kill him!~
The words struck me with a hard blow, and my struggle became even more violent.
"No, I won't let you!" I shouted.
~You will do as I say!~
Unbearable pain struck my head, and I screamed.
I admit I screamed, not a high pitched one like some boys, normal.
Suddenly, the pain was cut off, and I felt myself swaying, and falling, but before I fell, I remember seeing someone...someone tackle the stranger.
That someone was familiar.
Short, star fish shaped hair, that forever frown...who could it be?
Yami?
*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*` *`
'Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Bad head ache, must be a hang over. But wait, I don't drink, and I've never had that kind of stuff my whole life...something smells good, it smells like...hmmm cinnamen, mixed with lotus. Who smells like this, I know this. Its not Grandpa, he has a more musty smell...YAMI!'
"YAMI!" I shouted as I bolted up, and there he was, right there.
He was sitting in my desk chair, reading my Peach Girl manga, and glanced my way to show he heard me.
"Who ever knew you were such a pervert," he said calmly, as he flipped the page back so I could see the picture of when Momo found herself naked in a bed.
I flushed, and reached over, snatched the book out of his hands and slammed it on my desk.
"Get out."
Yami wore a stunned expression, then a cruel smirk coated his lips.
"What's the matter? Can't take the humiliation that I found about about your comic books? Besides, I'm surprised you even read this crap..." he started to say, but I cut him off, as I hugged the manga to my chest tightly.
"I just became found of the series, and do you know why? Because Momo Adachi is just like me. I feel she was and I are in the same boat with both our love lifes. But I know she will find her happy ending, and it gives me hope that I will find my happy ending. So now that you know, get out! And don't you ever SHOW YOUR FUCKING FACE TO ME AGAIN!"
Yami stared at me for a moment, then got up, and headed towards the door, but before he left he turned, meeting my gaze.
"You know, the reason why I was here in the first place, was because I was checking up on you to see if you were okay," he said quietly, before he left.
I sat there, staring at the closed door, then sproated a big sweat drop.
"What the heck...was THAT!? What's he getting at? Did he think it would make me respect him more?"
A frown and pout spread over my face as I thought, then screwed it.
My head still hurt and I wanted to sleep.
'But who was that stranger who wanted to kill my...I mean Yami?'
My eyes slowly closed as Yami's lingering scent filled my senses and I sigh escaped my lips.
I snuggled onto the pillow and fell asleep.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
After the incident, Grandpa had been watching me like a hawk (which was creepy) and Seto had been going almost everywhere with me.
"From now on Yugi, I'm going to be with you, and when I find that creep who hurt you, I'll punch his lights out," he had said.
It had already been two weeks, but they both still act like it happened yesterday.
Speaking of Seto, for some reason, no matter how many dates and outings I went on with him, I still...didn't feel the bond I had had with Yami and it worried me.
No matter how many times we kissed, or said we loved each other...it didn't feel real.
Seto's words of love and kisses had felt half real and half true, like he was hiding something from me.
That hurt me and I couldn't help feeling depressed one particular day, and went out for a walk at Domino park.
It was becoming cold and I knew winter was just around the corner, and drew up my school jacket closer up.
'Maybe I should have worn that scarf,' I thought as I strode down the dirt road.
"Jounouchi, listen, I really do feel that way."
"Yeah right!"
I stopped and stared at two big bushes, but on the other side I heard Seto and Jounouchi's voice.
"Please listen to me. I love you."
"You love Yugi, ya moran!"
"..."
"Don't you?"
"Yes, I do. But...I also love you."
"When did this come up? First you hardly notice me till Yugi introduced us, then you hardly acknowledge me more then anything then a friend, then you yell at me, call me names, and then I see you kissing Yug in the boys bathroom!"
"I know...its just...I think its just that...I liked him. I really did, and I was furiously jeolous of Yami having him in his possesion. He was like an item that I couldn't reach. But when he finally became mine...I feel like a boy who finally got a toy boat but doesn't want it anymore because my eye was already on something else."
My heart spasmed.
I mean, I could understand the part that he didn't really love me anymore, but...an item?
Is that what he thought of me?
He thought that I was the toy boat and he was the child to toss me aside whenever he liked?
I felt like running away, and crying, but I swollowed it and decided to do something else.
"Wha..."
There was a muffled cry.
"I love you my puppy."
I took a deep breath and marched towards the bushes and parted them, right when they kissed.
Both aburtly broke apart at the sound of parting leaves, and both swung around to look at me.
I silently stepped from the bushes, and stood there, glaring, mostly at Seto.
His expression would have been funny, if I wasn't so pissed.
"So..." I started.
"Yugi, I...I..."
"Oh I understand, and I know. I knew something wasn't right the moment you started giving me half true and half false love. And yes I am a bit upset that you are in love with someone else, I admit, but the truth was was that I felt like I was drifing also. But the thing that really hurts is that I was just a toy boat being tossed aside when ever the _boy_ FELT LIKE IT!" I shouted and slapped him across the face.
"Yugi!" Jounouchi shouted angrily, and I turned around, only to be punched in the face. "You bastard, don't you dare touch him!"
"Shut up Jounouchi!" I shouted loudly, so that he actually would.
I was right, he was dead silent.
Tears started trickling down my face as I turned my back to them.
"Do you know what its like? Do you know what its like to be rejected so many times?" I whispered. "Then, you suddenly look up and there is the one for you. You love each other, you want to be with each other, but then BANG they shoot you in the back! The one you loved and trusted loves another. You are depressed, then you find another, and you actually do love them. But you drift, and then you hear him saying that you were only a toy that could be tossed aside anytime they wished. Do you know how much that hurts?"
"Oh sop it up you baby!" Jounouchi shouted. "So you had a bad love life, so what?"
I turned to look at him, and his livid face of fury, dropped immdiately to one of horror.
"Oh my god," he whispered.
Now that my anger subsided, I felt the extreme pain in my left eye, and something sticky was flowing down.
I touched a droplet, and I gasped as I saw it was blood.
My left tear duct was releasing blood instead of tears.
I rose, staring at the blood, and covered my left eye, knowing it must be a hidious sight, staring with a wide eye at Jounouchi, who was staring with a horrified expression.
"Oh my god, Yug..." he whispered as he reached for me.
I wrenched away and ran, I ran and didn't stop till I reached the lake, that was already starting to freeze over, and stared into the surface and a sigh of relief escaped my lips.
My eye didn't really change, except...the color.
Was it starting to become red?
I looked in further to see if I could get a closer look (since surfaces of water isn't the best mirror for minor details, escpecially during a cloudy day) when I felt a pair of hands push me in.
A cry escaped my lips as I fell in, and rose up, coughing, but one hand grabbed the back of my neck and the hair in the back of my head and dunked me back down.
"Where does Yami live?"
"I don't know!" I automatically shouted and I was dunked again.
"Tell me, and I'll release you!"
"No! I can't, I don't want you to kill Yami!"
That was not the right answer.
I felt my head go under and felt the icey waters bite at my face.
My lungs started screaming for air.
I cried out under the waters, hoping someone, anybody would find me, and help me.
Suddenly, my head was brought up, and I started coughing.
"Are you going to tell me now?"
"Why do you want to kill him? What has he ever done to you!"
The stranger growled.
"He took someone from me, and I shall never forgive him. And...I know that someone loves him back, and will not turn to me unless he is dead! NOW TELL ME THE HELL WHERE HE IS!"
"NO!"
"Then suffer!"
My head went under again, but this time I didn't think it was going to come up anytime soon.
I tried kicking my body everywhere, but he was to heavy (because he was sitting on my back).
My body started shivering from the cold, and I became drozy.
'Please help me!'
Was someone shouting?
I barely felt the weight being removed, and hands brought me to the surface, where I gasped for the air, and coughed up water.
Warm arms, and deep shouting.
I felt someone stripping me.
'Is he going to rape me? Well, why not? I have nothing else to lose,' I thought (I think me was insane right then! OO0), and everything went black.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
"Cough! Cough!"
'Is someone coughing? Is it me? No, my mouth is shut. Oh crap, I feel like crap!'
I turned over, but couldn't.
'Why can't I move?'
There was movement beside me and I felt long hands running through my hair, then a wave of coughing.
The hand grasped my own, while another kept stroaking my hair.
"Yugi, please wake up, please."
'Yami!?'
My eyes snapped open, and...I met his eyes.
I stared into them before I noticed that we were both in the same bed, both...stripped to our under garments...
My cheeks flamed with heat, and I pulled the sheet up higher, up to my chest, and figited with the edge of it.
"Yugi..."
"I-I (cough) thought I said..."
He silenced me, as he placed a finger to my lips.
"I knew you didn't mean it," he answered with a wink.
I sighed and sunk into the soft pillow, before I noticed my left eye was patched up.
My fingers touched it gently, but Yami grasped them and at first, it seemed he was going to kiss them, but instead they were placed back down upon the bed.
"The doctor said you were going to be fine, though he thinks that eye would be...changed a bit."
"Oh," I said dully and lifted the sheet over my shoulders and stared at the bed. "Um...why are we in the same bed?"
Yami's cheeks went redder then a tomatoe.
"Sorry, but when I pulled you out of the lake, you were drentched, and lips were turned blue. I...had to strip your wet clothing off, but don't worry, I wrapped you in my shirt and jacket, and socks and shoes...and ran towards home...and...and...you were just so cold. I was afraid you had hyperthermia."
I chewed my bottom lip as guilt ate at my stomach.
Yami looked terrible!
His hair was a mess, he was sweating, and his face was flushed with fever and coughing every once in a while.
"I'm sorry, its because of me that your sick," I whispered.
He only smiled.
"Hey I'm not the only one whose sick," he said and tapped me on the nose.
That was true, my head hurt like hell, and I too was sweating, and my heart did hurt as it beat.
"You know..." I said slowly. "You seem a lot nicer."
Yami's smile dropped and he sighed as he rested his head onto his pillow, gazing down at me.
"Well, I guess you could say I was mad and jeolous, and...the day you woke up from being unconsious on the floor...I didn't really have anything to say, and I was embarrassed and...I didn't want you to know I still cared about you."
I sat up.
"Why!?"
"Well, because," he mumbled as he stared hard at the bed.
"Because what?" I persisted.
"Because I didn't want to break up your relationship with Seto!"
"Why?" I asked him, a big sweatdrop on the back of my head.
"Because you were happy, and I already messed up...and..." he let his sentence trail off.
I gave an exasperated sigh.
"Yami, you are an idiot."
He looked away, which I'm glad, because he missed the mischeivious grin that slipped.
"I know," he whispered.
"And you messed my life up big time."
"I know," he groaned.
"And...!"
Yami waited, a grimace on his face like a child waiting for his father to shout out the last of his scolding.
"You hurt me deeply," I whispered and he winced.
"I know," he to whispered.
"Which makes you an idiot," I growled.
He continued to bow his head, and I lifted his face up and kissed him.
"My idiot."
"W...wha?" Yami stammered.
"Just to ask, do you love Marik?"
"...not really."
"Then why did you say it felt right when you kissed him?"
"You know," he said as he rolled onto his back. "I don't know. That's the strange part. Wait! Why are you asking me about love? I should be the one questioning you and Seto's relationship."
"Oh its over," I huffed. "I'm just Seto's _toy boat_ as he quotes."
I winced as I felt fingers bruch against my injured eye.
"Did he...?" he started to ask, anger in his voice.
"No, Jounouchi. I slapped Seto because I was mad at him. One: for cheating on me and two: for calling me his fricken toy boat. Then Jounouchi got pissed and punched me. It still hurts."
Yami kissed the side of my eye.
"To make it feel better," he answered my silent question.
I smiled, and hugged him, but immediately scrambled off when he cried out.
"I"m sorry, did I do something to hurt you?" I asked, as Yami sat up, revealing a bandage wrapped around his middle, with blood stained on his side.
"Yami," I whispered.
Yami looked down, and covered it with the sheet.
"Its nothing."
"It was that young man wasn't it?"
"..."
"He hurt you when you tried to protect me. Is that right?" I asked, and Yami hesitated before nodding.
"It happened when I knocked the guy off you. He grabbed this axe thing and sliced me with the edge of it."
I edged towards him, and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"My poor Yami," I whispered, before I remembered something, and scrambled to the other side of the bed.
"Yugi?"
"Sorry, its just...its just a little akward..." I started.
"Yeah I know, I mean just think whats happened during the past days. First we hated each other, then loved each other, then hated each other again, now we're making up again. Funny, huh?"
"Uh...I guess, but that's not what I meant."
"Oh, then what?"
"I meant it was akward that we are both in one bed in our boxers."
"Oh, good point."
We both looked at each other, before looking down at each others boxers, then looking away quickly.
Then, I heard him laugh, and my cheeks heated, and they heated even more when I heard him scooting towards me.
"On second thought, I don't see whats so wrong with it, I mean, who knows," he whispered in my ear. "We might end up like this alot in the future."
I was blushing full power.
"YA-" I was about to shout, before he kissed me.
I fell over onto the floor, and we both lay in this akward postion.
Me, Yugi, was on my back, with Yami ontop of me, lips still locked onto mine, and his arms around me that would not let me go.
Once we parted, he pressed his forehead against mine, and we smiled at each other, and I felt something being slipped onto my ring finger.
I knew what it was, before I glanced down at the silver ring, and we both smiled at each other.
Well, at least till I sneezed.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Mijikai: Sorry about the short relationship between Yugi and Seto, but I wanted to start the make up scene in bed thing. I thought it would be cute! And yes, there will be a little magic in this story, and to enlighten people, Marik and Seto were only minor problems in Yugi and Yami's relationship. (Wink)
REVIEW!
Yami: That's no fair!

Yami:
Mijikai: (while running) Read and enjoy, and please keep all sharp objects out of reviews for safety measures, thank you! ^^m (peace)

Entry Five
If I could forget one thing in my past, it would be that day.
I cried a river, and was swallowed up in my misery, that I didn't notice someone coming into the bathroom, and opening the bathroom stall.
"Yugi?" came Seto's voice.
I looked up with a jolt in my heart, and looked up to see him standing before the stall, concern clearly in his eyes.
"Yugi..."
"Yami is such a bastard. He told everyone what I am, now, now..." I couldn't finish, and I broke down again.
Strong arms wrapped around me, and I immediately felt my sadness melt, and fell into the embrace, but was a bit surprised when I felt fingers bring my face up, but I refused to look into his eyes.
"Yugi, look at me," Seto whispered and I did.
His long fingers wiped away my tears, then trailed upon my lips.
"Seto?"
"Yugi, please...don't cry. It hurts me to see you like...this," he whispered, and he kissed me.
More tears fell from my lashes, but I did not pull back, because I didn't feel there was any need to.
There was comfort, and love in that kiss, and it eased my hurting heart.
'Why did you do this to my Yami!'
"YUGI!"
I jerked back, looking up, gasping as I saw Jounouchi at the doorway, staring at the both of us with Honda behind him.
"JOUNOUCHI!" I shouted in surprise.
Jounouchi's usual optimistic expression was now livid fury, and his face was stained red.
"I thought you were my friend. You knew how I felt about Seto since last year!" he shouted. "You knew I loved Seto but you take him away anyway!"
"You...loved me?" Seto asked, flabbergastered.
Jounouchi gasped as he realized his error, and turned away, blushing deeply.
"Thanks alot, now he knows! I can't face him ever again!" he shouted and ran.
"Jou!" Honda shouted, and ran after him, but not before shooting me a glare that would have killed me dead flat if the term 'if looks could kill' were true.
I slipped down to my knees, and trembled.
"Oh, god, oh, god, what have I done?" I whispered.
Seto was silent, staring at the place Jou had been, before kneeling before me.
"Yugi, Yugi, it wasn't your fault. We can't help the way we feel. I'll talk to him after this, but Yugi..."
"No, no, it is my fault. Everything's my fault," I cried.
I felt exactly like Momo Adachi from the manga Peach Girl (and yes I do read that comic book! What? Lots of guys read it, and pretty much for the 'stuff' but I read it for the moral! And Momo's dead hot! Though some boys I know perfer Sae, like Honda, and this other guy, but then again, some guys agree with me, like Yami, Seto, Jou, and... ^^....eh...how about I continue?).
"I wish I was dead."
"NO!" Seto shouted, and I looked up, startled. "Don't ever say that, don't you dare even think about it!"
"Wha..."
"I love you Yugi, I don't want you to let go."
Tears welled up in my eyes.
"Seto!" I shouted, embracing him tightly.
"Shhhhhh, its alright Yugi. What ever happens, I'll be there for you, and I'll help you when you need support. You understand?"
"(sniff) Yes."
"Good, now lets get to class before we get detention."
"Alright."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I ignored Yami and Marik, while I was ignored by Jou and Honda, and nearly burst into tears of relief when the end of the bell rang.
In truth, I was a little excited, despite all that had happened to me that day, because Seto had invited me to go ice skating.
Seto had met me outside of school and we were driven to the ice rink, where we fit our skates and started gliding upon the ice.
I was surprised that Seto could be so graceful upon the ice, despite his tall stature, and laughed when he nearly collided into a wall.
A sigh escaped my lips as I glided slowly upon the ice, embracing the cold that touched my skin and touched my lungs.
It felt so good, to embrace the feeling and smiled as I felt arms grab me, and nearly fell over.
"Seto!" I shouted, hitting him playfully on the head, as he hung on to my waist.
"Hey, you were being to serious out there, when you are suppose to smile," he protested.
And a smile did touch my lips, and I laughed.
"Alright, alright, just stop grabbing me. Someday you are going to grab me, and I'm going to die of heart failure," I joked, poking him on the cheek.
He smirked as he let me go, and slipped his hand in mine, and guided me around the rink, as I held his hand.
It was a nice 'date', just as nice as the one I've had with Yami in the past...
Anway, after skating, we both warmed up by drinking hot cocoa, then sadly had to depart, since he had a meeting to go to.
He kissed my cheek, as the limo parked in front of the game shop, and we said our goodbyes before he left.
I sighed with happiness, before I went inside, only to become face to face with Grandpa.
"Hi Grandpa," I said, with a lop sided smile.
"Yugi? Where were you? I was getting worried, and who was that young man?" he demanded.
I think I was in a dazed state, because I don't really remember hearing much of what Grandpa said, but I do remember staring out where the limo was driving off, and I think I was blushing.
"YUGI!" Grandpa shouted, and I jumped.
"Huh?"
I watched him sigh and shake his head.
"Don't tell me your dating another guy!"
My cheeks heated, and I turned away.
"I guess your going to stop talking to me now," I mumbled sadly.
"...no, not this time, because now I have come to terms that my little Grandson is growing up."
Surprise flooded my mind as I whirled around and...sweatdropped as Grandpa did a weird grin.
"Wha!? I thought you didn't talk to me because I was _dating_ guys!"
"Hm? Well, I admit I was shocked, but no, I could understand that, the reason I was being so cold was because...well...I couldn't really come to terms that my little Yugi was growing up. I know it was no excuse in speaking coldly, but when ever I see you, I think of that young man that was going to steal you away from me someday. I guess you could say I was jeolous...jeolous that you would be giving you heart to someone else, not to mention a little mad at you, don't ask why because I don't remember," he explained and wrapped an arm around my shoulders. "You and me have always been pretty tight, ever since you were just a little baby, and you always came to depend on me and everything. You were my world, and the most important person to me, then I see that young man coming along and my percious treasure is moving farther and farther away from me...you understand me?"
I smiled, chuckling lightly, and giving him a big hug.
"Don't worry Grandpa. Just because I'm dating doesn't mean I'll be moving away from you. In fact, I think it would be nice to keep living here if I get married."
"Whoa! Whoa! I just got over you dating people, lets not get into marriage yet," Grandpa said, shaking his finger.
"And just think, maybe I might end up with a girl after all, and if you live long enough, you can have _great_ grandchildren!" I said happily.
Grandpa patted me on the shoulder before heading back towards the counter.
"Your giving me heart attacks Yugi. You maybe grown up, but not that much! And heaven forbid, I don't even want to think of more little brats running around the shop," he joked.
"Grandpa!"
"Hahahahaha, well, you better get your homework done, don't you have a study session with that Jounouchi kid?" Grandpa asked, and everything came rushing at me.
I gripped my backpack straps tightly, looking away as I hurried towards the back of the shop.
"We're not friends anymore Grandpa. He hates me," I whispered before I scuttled up the stairs and into my room.
I shut the doro silently, before flopping onto my bed and closing my eyes, letting everything run through my head.
First, I had a bad relationship with Yami, then we become boyfriend, and boyfriend, then we break up, then I get together with Seto, and Jounouchi gets pissed at me. What a life.
Suddenly, I felt a flash of pain in my head, and sat up aburtly.
'What the hell was that?'
I winced as something sharp tugged my mind and my face turned towards the window and I staggered towards it, climbing onto my desk, and looked through it.
At the bottom, was a young man, dressed in a sleevless purple shirt, showing his toned muscle bisceps, and tight black pants, completed with black boots.
He wore a cloak with the hood drawn over his head, so I could only see the bottom half of his face, and the wisps of bleached blonde hair.
There was some kind of golden axe in his hand, with a weird eye symbol on it.
'Who is this freak?'
I was going to open my mouth and yell at him, but it would not open.
All I could do was stare at him, while he looked up at me, holding his axe thingy upward, and it...glowed?
I winced again as a fierce pain struck my head.
~Do you know the location of Yami Mutou?~
"Yes," I heard myself say, and I became horrified.
'Is he controlling me? But how!'
~Tell me where he is~
"Why?" I asked, being in control, but I felt myself drifting away.
It was a weird sensation, like I was pushed back a bit and there was a dazed coat around my mind, but the deep inside was still consious, and panicing.
~No, questions! Just tell me where he lives!~
"N-no," I struggled, clutching my head tightly.
I saw a sneer appear upon the strangers mouth, and he raised the axe thing even higher, and it shone brightly.
A cry of pain escaped my lips, as spears of pain stabbed at my mind.
~Tell me where he is! You can not fight me for long!~
"W-why do you w-w-want to k-know?" I grunted.
~I will find him, then I shall kill him!~
The words struck me with a hard blow, and my struggle became even more violent.
"No, I won't let you!" I shouted.
~You will do as I say!~
Unbearable pain struck my head, and I screamed.
I admit I screamed, not a high pitched one like some boys, normal.
Suddenly, the pain was cut off, and I felt myself swaying, and falling, but before I fell, I remember seeing someone...someone tackle the stranger.
That someone was familiar.
Short, star fish shaped hair, that forever frown...who could it be?
Yami?
*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*`*` *`
'Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Bad head ache, must be a hang over. But wait, I don't drink, and I've never had that kind of stuff my whole life...something smells good, it smells like...hmmm cinnamen, mixed with lotus. Who smells like this, I know this. Its not Grandpa, he has a more musty smell...YAMI!'
"YAMI!" I shouted as I bolted up, and there he was, right there.
He was sitting in my desk chair, reading my Peach Girl manga, and glanced my way to show he heard me.
"Who ever knew you were such a pervert," he said calmly, as he flipped the page back so I could see the picture of when Momo found herself naked in a bed.
I flushed, and reached over, snatched the book out of his hands and slammed it on my desk.
"Get out."
Yami wore a stunned expression, then a cruel smirk coated his lips.
"What's the matter? Can't take the humiliation that I found about about your comic books? Besides, I'm surprised you even read this crap..." he started to say, but I cut him off, as I hugged the manga to my chest tightly.
"I just became found of the series, and do you know why? Because Momo Adachi is just like me. I feel she was and I are in the same boat with both our love lifes. But I know she will find her happy ending, and it gives me hope that I will find my happy ending. So now that you know, get out! And don't you ever SHOW YOUR FUCKING FACE TO ME AGAIN!"
Yami stared at me for a moment, then got up, and headed towards the door, but before he left he turned, meeting my gaze.
"You know, the reason why I was here in the first place, was because I was checking up on you to see if you were okay," he said quietly, before he left.
I sat there, staring at the closed door, then sproated a big sweat drop.
"What the heck...was THAT!? What's he getting at? Did he think it would make me respect him more?"
A frown and pout spread over my face as I thought, then screwed it.
My head still hurt and I wanted to sleep.
'But who was that stranger who wanted to kill my...I mean Yami?'
My eyes slowly closed as Yami's lingering scent filled my senses and I sigh escaped my lips.
I snuggled onto the pillow and fell asleep.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
After the incident, Grandpa had been watching me like a hawk (which was creepy) and Seto had been going almost everywhere with me.
"From now on Yugi, I'm going to be with you, and when I find that creep who hurt you, I'll punch his lights out," he had said.
It had already been two weeks, but they both still act like it happened yesterday.
Speaking of Seto, for some reason, no matter how many dates and outings I went on with him, I still...didn't feel the bond I had had with Yami and it worried me.
No matter how many times we kissed, or said we loved each other...it didn't feel real.
Seto's words of love and kisses had felt half real and half true, like he was hiding something from me.
That hurt me and I couldn't help feeling depressed one particular day, and went out for a walk at Domino park.
It was becoming cold and I knew winter was just around the corner, and drew up my school jacket closer up.
'Maybe I should have worn that scarf,' I thought as I strode down the dirt road.
"Jounouchi, listen, I really do feel that way."
"Yeah right!"
I stopped and stared at two big bushes, but on the other side I heard Seto and Jounouchi's voice.
"Please listen to me. I love you."
"You love Yugi, ya moran!"
"..."
"Don't you?"
"Yes, I do. But...I also love you."
"When did this come up? First you hardly notice me till Yugi introduced us, then you hardly acknowledge me more then anything then a friend, then you yell at me, call me names, and then I see you kissing Yug in the boys bathroom!"
"I know...its just...I think its just that...I liked him. I really did, and I was furiously jeolous of Yami having him in his possesion. He was like an item that I couldn't reach. But when he finally became mine...I feel like a boy who finally got a toy boat but doesn't want it anymore because my eye was already on something else."
My heart spasmed.
I mean, I could understand the part that he didn't really love me anymore, but...an item?
Is that what he thought of me?
He thought that I was the toy boat and he was the child to toss me aside whenever he liked?
I felt like running away, and crying, but I swollowed it and decided to do something else.
"Wha..."
There was a muffled cry.
"I love you my puppy."
I took a deep breath and marched towards the bushes and parted them, right when they kissed.
Both aburtly broke apart at the sound of parting leaves, and both swung around to look at me.
I silently stepped from the bushes, and stood there, glaring, mostly at Seto.
His expression would have been funny, if I wasn't so pissed.
"So..." I started.
"Yugi, I...I..."
"Oh I understand, and I know. I knew something wasn't right the moment you started giving me half true and half false love. And yes I am a bit upset that you are in love with someone else, I admit, but the truth was was that I felt like I was drifing also. But the thing that really hurts is that I was just a toy boat being tossed aside when ever the _boy_ FELT LIKE IT!" I shouted and slapped him across the face.
"Yugi!" Jounouchi shouted angrily, and I turned around, only to be punched in the face. "You bastard, don't you dare touch him!"
"Shut up Jounouchi!" I shouted loudly, so that he actually would.
I was right, he was dead silent.
Tears started trickling down my face as I turned my back to them.
"Do you know what its like? Do you know what its like to be rejected so many times?" I whispered. "Then, you suddenly look up and there is the one for you. You love each other, you want to be with each other, but then BANG they shoot you in the back! The one you loved and trusted loves another. You are depressed, then you find another, and you actually do love them. But you drift, and then you hear him saying that you were only a toy that could be tossed aside anytime they wished. Do you know how much that hurts?"
"Oh sop it up you baby!" Jounouchi shouted. "So you had a bad love life, so what?"
I turned to look at him, and his livid face of fury, dropped immdiately to one of horror.
"Oh my god," he whispered.
Now that my anger subsided, I felt the extreme pain in my left eye, and something sticky was flowing down.
I touched a droplet, and I gasped as I saw it was blood.
My left tear duct was releasing blood instead of tears.
I rose, staring at the blood, and covered my left eye, knowing it must be a hidious sight, staring with a wide eye at Jounouchi, who was staring with a horrified expression.
"Oh my god, Yug..." he whispered as he reached for me.
I wrenched away and ran, I ran and didn't stop till I reached the lake, that was already starting to freeze over, and stared into the surface and a sigh of relief escaped my lips.
My eye didn't really change, except...the color.
Was it starting to become red?
I looked in further to see if I could get a closer look (since surfaces of water isn't the best mirror for minor details, escpecially during a cloudy day) when I felt a pair of hands push me in.
A cry escaped my lips as I fell in, and rose up, coughing, but one hand grabbed the back of my neck and the hair in the back of my head and dunked me back down.
"Where does Yami live?"
"I don't know!" I automatically shouted and I was dunked again.
"Tell me, and I'll release you!"
"No! I can't, I don't want you to kill Yami!"
That was not the right answer.
I felt my head go under and felt the icey waters bite at my face.
My lungs started screaming for air.
I cried out under the waters, hoping someone, anybody would find me, and help me.
Suddenly, my head was brought up, and I started coughing.
"Are you going to tell me now?"
"Why do you want to kill him? What has he ever done to you!"
The stranger growled.
"He took someone from me, and I shall never forgive him. And...I know that someone loves him back, and will not turn to me unless he is dead! NOW TELL ME THE HELL WHERE HE IS!"
"NO!"
"Then suffer!"
My head went under again, but this time I didn't think it was going to come up anytime soon.
I tried kicking my body everywhere, but he was to heavy (because he was sitting on my back).
My body started shivering from the cold, and I became drozy.
'Please help me!'
Was someone shouting?
I barely felt the weight being removed, and hands brought me to the surface, where I gasped for the air, and coughed up water.
Warm arms, and deep shouting.
I felt someone stripping me.
'Is he going to rape me? Well, why not? I have nothing else to lose,' I thought (I think me was insane right then! OO0), and everything went black.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
"Cough! Cough!"
'Is someone coughing? Is it me? No, my mouth is shut. Oh crap, I feel like crap!'
I turned over, but couldn't.
'Why can't I move?'
There was movement beside me and I felt long hands running through my hair, then a wave of coughing.
The hand grasped my own, while another kept stroaking my hair.
"Yugi, please wake up, please."
'Yami!?'
My eyes snapped open, and...I met his eyes.
I stared into them before I noticed that we were both in the same bed, both...stripped to our under garments...
My cheeks flamed with heat, and I pulled the sheet up higher, up to my chest, and figited with the edge of it.
"Yugi..."
"I-I (cough) thought I said..."
He silenced me, as he placed a finger to my lips.
"I knew you didn't mean it," he answered with a wink.
I sighed and sunk into the soft pillow, before I noticed my left eye was patched up.
My fingers touched it gently, but Yami grasped them and at first, it seemed he was going to kiss them, but instead they were placed back down upon the bed.
"The doctor said you were going to be fine, though he thinks that eye would be...changed a bit."
"Oh," I said dully and lifted the sheet over my shoulders and stared at the bed. "Um...why are we in the same bed?"
Yami's cheeks went redder then a tomatoe.
"Sorry, but when I pulled you out of the lake, you were drentched, and lips were turned blue. I...had to strip your wet clothing off, but don't worry, I wrapped you in my shirt and jacket, and socks and shoes...and ran towards home...and...and...you were just so cold. I was afraid you had hyperthermia."
I chewed my bottom lip as guilt ate at my stomach.
Yami looked terrible!
His hair was a mess, he was sweating, and his face was flushed with fever and coughing every once in a while.
"I'm sorry, its because of me that your sick," I whispered.
He only smiled.
"Hey I'm not the only one whose sick," he said and tapped me on the nose.
That was true, my head hurt like hell, and I too was sweating, and my heart did hurt as it beat.
"You know..." I said slowly. "You seem a lot nicer."
Yami's smile dropped and he sighed as he rested his head onto his pillow, gazing down at me.
"Well, I guess you could say I was mad and jeolous, and...the day you woke up from being unconsious on the floor...I didn't really have anything to say, and I was embarrassed and...I didn't want you to know I still cared about you."
I sat up.
"Why!?"
"Well, because," he mumbled as he stared hard at the bed.
"Because what?" I persisted.
"Because I didn't want to break up your relationship with Seto!"
"Why?" I asked him, a big sweatdrop on the back of my head.
"Because you were happy, and I already messed up...and..." he let his sentence trail off.
I gave an exasperated sigh.
"Yami, you are an idiot."
He looked away, which I'm glad, because he missed the mischeivious grin that slipped.
"I know," he whispered.
"And you messed my life up big time."
"I know," he groaned.
"And...!"
Yami waited, a grimace on his face like a child waiting for his father to shout out the last of his scolding.
"You hurt me deeply," I whispered and he winced.
"I know," he to whispered.
"Which makes you an idiot," I growled.
He continued to bow his head, and I lifted his face up and kissed him.
"My idiot."
"W...wha?" Yami stammered.
"Just to ask, do you love Marik?"
"...not really."
"Then why did you say it felt right when you kissed him?"
"You know," he said as he rolled onto his back. "I don't know. That's the strange part. Wait! Why are you asking me about love? I should be the one questioning you and Seto's relationship."
"Oh its over," I huffed. "I'm just Seto's _toy boat_ as he quotes."
I winced as I felt fingers bruch against my injured eye.
"Did he...?" he started to ask, anger in his voice.
"No, Jounouchi. I slapped Seto because I was mad at him. One: for cheating on me and two: for calling me his fricken toy boat. Then Jounouchi got pissed and punched me. It still hurts."
Yami kissed the side of my eye.
"To make it feel better," he answered my silent question.
I smiled, and hugged him, but immediately scrambled off when he cried out.
"I"m sorry, did I do something to hurt you?" I asked, as Yami sat up, revealing a bandage wrapped around his middle, with blood stained on his side.
"Yami," I whispered.
Yami looked down, and covered it with the sheet.
"Its nothing."
"It was that young man wasn't it?"
"..."
"He hurt you when you tried to protect me. Is that right?" I asked, and Yami hesitated before nodding.
"It happened when I knocked the guy off you. He grabbed this axe thing and sliced me with the edge of it."
I edged towards him, and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"My poor Yami," I whispered, before I remembered something, and scrambled to the other side of the bed.
"Yugi?"
"Sorry, its just...its just a little akward..." I started.
"Yeah I know, I mean just think whats happened during the past days. First we hated each other, then loved each other, then hated each other again, now we're making up again. Funny, huh?"
"Uh...I guess, but that's not what I meant."
"Oh, then what?"
"I meant it was akward that we are both in one bed in our boxers."
"Oh, good point."
We both looked at each other, before looking down at each others boxers, then looking away quickly.
Then, I heard him laugh, and my cheeks heated, and they heated even more when I heard him scooting towards me.
"On second thought, I don't see whats so wrong with it, I mean, who knows," he whispered in my ear. "We might end up like this alot in the future."
I was blushing full power.
"YA-" I was about to shout, before he kissed me.
I fell over onto the floor, and we both lay in this akward postion.
Me, Yugi, was on my back, with Yami ontop of me, lips still locked onto mine, and his arms around me that would not let me go.
Once we parted, he pressed his forehead against mine, and we smiled at each other, and I felt something being slipped onto my ring finger.
I knew what it was, before I glanced down at the silver ring, and we both smiled at each other.
Well, at least till I sneezed.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Mijikai: Sorry about the short relationship between Yugi and Seto, but I wanted to start the make up scene in bed thing. I thought it would be cute! And yes, there will be a little magic in this story, and to enlighten people, Marik and Seto were only minor problems in Yugi and Yami's relationship. (Wink)
