Entry Eight
My heart pounded in my chest as I sat in the taxi with Yami holding my hand tightly.
I tried to keep my tears in, but they broke, and I placed a hand to my mouth as I cried.
Arms wrapped around me, and I sobbed onto Yami's shoulder, as his hand stroaked my hair.
"Shhhhhhh, its alright aibou. I'm sure he will be alright," he whispered.
"They...they...said he wasn't....breathing...when they...found him," I wailed, and he held me tighter.
When Yami and I had arrived at the Game shop, I was surprised that no one was there; when I received the phone call.
Grandpa had had a heart attack and was found unconsious and no breath.
"If...if he died...then...then..."
"Aibou, he won't die, I promise," he reasured me.
"Uh, sir, we're here," the taxi diver announced, giving me a sympathetic look.
Yami payed, since my hands trembled to much to even lift my wallet out of my back pocket, and escorted me out of the taxi, and led me towards the hospital.
I shivered when I stepped in as the noise level had risen, and injuried patients were wheeled, or helped outside, or towards rooms.
The doors burst open and there was an old man on a stretcher, with two doctors wheeling him towards the operation doors.
One was olding the IV bag, while the other was pushing on his heart.
"We're losing him! We're losing him!" the man shouted before they disappeared into the doors.
I felt warmth drain out of me, and left me cold.
I didn't move, or think, till Yami tugged on my sleeve gently and looked at me with concern.
"Are you alright Yugi?" he asked.
"Yeah...yeah...fine," I gulped, and felt him squeeze my hand comfortingly, before leading me towards the front desk.
"Um, excuse me. Is there a Mr. Sugoroku Mutou registered here?" Yami asked.
The lady looked up and started typing on the computer.
"And you are sir?" she asked.
"I'm a friend of his grandson, Yugi Mutou," Yami explained.
In a moment, the lady smiled.
"I believe there is a Sugoroku Mutou, but I'm afraid its family only."
"But I am family," Yami said, and winked. "I'm Yugi's friend and cousin."
I thought I was going to burst out laughing.
We may not be related, but we sure look it.
"Oh, my apologies, follow me, and I shall escort you both to your Grandpfather's room," she said and removed herself from behind the desk and headed towards the elevator. "Mr. Mutou was found with a heart attack, and despite him not breathing, he pulled through just fine."
I brightened.
"So, Grandpa's going to be alright?" I asked.
"I'm sure he is," she said with a nod.
My mood brightened considerably, and Yami wrapped his arms around my shoulders and hugged me close.
"See, I told you he was going to be alright, you silly goose," he teased.
I chuckled.
"I know, and I'm sure glad your right. So...which race horse is going to win next Tuesday?"
Yami rolled his eyes and bopped me lightly on the head.
The elevator stopped and we both stepped out of the box and were lead towards Grandpa's room.
"Here it is," she said before heading back towards the elevator.
"Oh, thank you!" I called out.
"No problem!" she called back.
As I stood before Grandpa's room, I shivered, not knowing how I was going to approach him.
"Don't worry love, just act like you always do," Yami whispered in my ear. "And I'm heading towards the coffee machine. Want one?"
I made a face.
"Ew, I hate coffee. But I'll take tea please."
Yami's lips pressed upon my cheek and he smiled, saluting.
"Roger that."
I saluted back before turning back towards the door and forcing myself to open it and stepping inside.
Grandpa lay in bed, with an IV tube connected to his arm, plus a heart monitor that gently beeped every once in a while to indicate his heart was still beating.
The first thing I did was sit in the chair beside the bed and clasped his hand, causing Grandpa's eyes to snap open.
"Ah!" I shouted in surprise, flinging myself back, before calming down. "Sorry, did I wake you Grandpa?"
"No, no, I was awake already," he reasured, and smiled. "Welcome back Yugi. I'm sorry that I ended up like this..."
"Oh, don't worry about it, Gramps," I said, and I was swatted on the head. "Ow, what was that for."
"Humph. I see your hanging around that Jounouchi kid to much. Such disrespect from young people these days," he muttered with a scowl, but I know he was playing.
"Gramps. Gramps, gramps, gramps, gramps, gramps."
"Heaven forbid! Are you Yugi, or Jounouchi dressed as him!" Grandpa shouted, and we both laughed.
"I'm sure Jounouchi can shrink to my height and get his hair spiked, plus die one eye red and one purple."
Grandpa chuckled, and grasped one of my hands, squeezing it tightly, before it loosened and he snatched it up, and held it closely to his face.
"Is this what I think it is?" he whispered as he touched the diamond ring gently and looking up at me.
My cheeks heated.
"Uh...what do you mean Grandpa?" I asked, looking away.
"Yugi...are you...engaged?"
"...yes."
"To whom!" he demanded, and the door opened behind us.
"Here's your tea Yugi. I didn't know if you wanted Green or cinnamen, so I got cinnamen. I hope you don't mind..." Yami started but I nodded.
"Thank you, cinnamen's fine."
I took a sip, and when I looked back at Grandpa, I noticed he was staring at Yami.
Yami looked a bit uncomfortable under his gaze and figited.
"Um...I hope you don't mind if I tagged along sir," he mumbled, blushing.
"It was you!"
Yami jumped.
"Wha...wha...wha!?"
"Yugi is it true? You're engaged to him?" Grandpa demanded as he pointed to Yami.
"Do you mind?" I whispered.
"Of course I mind!" he roared in rage, and I cringed, and immediately felt Yami's arms around my shoulders.
"But...but I thought you liked Yami."
"I do my boy, but I can not allow you to marry. Your still in High School for heavens sake!"
I burst out laughing, so hard I thought I would burst a lung.
When I finally calmed down, I smiled at Grandpa, wiping a tear.
"I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you. Yami and I had discussed it a bit, and we both decided...," I started to explain as Yami slipped his hand in mine. "...that we would marry after college."
Grandpa's enraged face melted, and he chuckled lightly.
"Then you must forgive me for my outburst. I congragulate you two, and I hope you, young man, look out well for my Grandson. I shall not tolerate anymore heart breaks from you," he scolded sternly, and Yami cowered behind me.
"Yes sir," he said meekly, and I laughed out loud.
"Ahhhh, don't worry, I won't let the mean Grandpa get you," I teased, and Yami gave me a look.
"Oh yeah?" he said, and I grew nervous as he gave me that smirk he always produced when he was up to something.
"Uh...yeah?"
Yami gave me a headlock with one arm, then gave me a nugy.
"Ow, stop it Yami! Stop it!"
"Not till you take back that I'm a coward!"
"But I never said that!" I protested, as I caught his hand and held it back from my messed up hair.
"But you were thinking it weren't you?"
I leaned over towards Grandpa.
"I'm scared. He reads minds," I whispered, and Grandpa erupted into chuckles, while Yami started tickling me.
After a passing nurse yelled at us to shut up, we settled down, catching our breaths before Yami broke the silence.
"Hey, Yugi. How are we going to have any children?"
All I'm going to say is that I'm glad that Grandpa was strapped to the hospital bed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"WHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAT!!!" Jou shouted as he grabbed my hand and stared at the ring on my finger. "You have got to be kidding me! You're only sixteen!"
"Acutally," Yami stepped in. "We're waiting till after college before we start the wedding bells."
"Thanks alot, you stole my idea," I heard Seto murmur to Yami and punched him on the shoulder.
Yami only stuck his tongue out at Seto, and I bit my lip to keep from laughing.
"Oh, by the way Yug," Jou said, not taking his eyes off the ring. "Anzu's back. She should be coming right about now."
"Oh," I said, forcing myself to be cheerful.
I mean, I was happy she was back, its just...I felt a bit uncomfortable being near the woman who had sex with my boyfriend.
In the corner of my eye, I noticed Yami shifting uncomfortabely.
"Sooooo, how's Honda?" I asked.
"Mad at me, rejected by Miho, and now is after someone new."
"Oh, who?"
Jou's face turned red with anger.
"My sister."
I blinked.
Once.
Twice.
"You have a sister? I didn't know that."
"Sorry, Yug. Didn't really think it was necessary to mention it," Jou said sheepisly, blushing.
Before I could say anything, I heard footsteps running towards me, and whipped around to see Anzu!
"Yugi!" she shouted happily and threw her arms around me, kissing me on the cheek. "How are you, I missed you."
In the corner of my mind, I saw Yami staring at Anzu, shaking slightly, with his lips pressed together tightly into a thin line.
"Jeolous?" Seto whispered with a grin.
"Shut up," he growled. "How dare she touch him, he's mine I say," he muttered quietly, and Seto burst out laughing.
"Anzu!" I said happily. "I'm fine. How as New York?"
"It was great! I studied so much ballet and I even got to proform on Broad Way!" she squealed with delight.
"Wow."
"And I heard you went to California. So how was it?"
"I'll lend you my journal so you can read all about it!"
"Great, I can't wait!" she said with a bright smile. "Oh Yugi!"
"Hm?"
She leaned over, and whispered quietly, "You won't believe what happened when I came to visit you. Yami got drunk and accidently bumped into me, and I fell into this huge mud puddle. He said he was sorry and said I could clean up at his place. After a took my shower, I was soooo tired from traveling all day, and then I accidently walked into him when he had stripped down. He stared at me with these dazed eyes, creepy I tell you, and he gave me this lopsided smile and grabbed me. And do you know what he said?"
I gulped, feeling my stomach drop.
"No?"
"He said. "Yugi, I'm so glad your back."
My heart fluttered, but then I snickered.
'Yami! You thought Anzu was me? You must have been really drunk!'
"Then he scooped me up, throwing me onto the bed, my towel slipping in the process, and he slipped in with me. Don't worry, Yugi, he didn't do anything, though I feared he was going to rape me. All he did was hug me, thinking I was you, that's all."
"That's...all?" I asked slowly, a bit suspicious that she was keeping something from me.
"Positive. Sorry, Yugi. But I would have left sooner, but since he thought I was you...well...he didn't let go of me, and I was sooooo tired that I fell asleep. The next thing I knew, I was awaken suddenly by him screaming. It was cute, but I was a bit worried if he thought we had...that...and I know you and him are together...so...I just wanted to tell you the truth to get the facts straight. So, you still mad at me?" she asked.
I was stunned, and shocked.
But, as I processed everthing, I burst out laughing.
"Oh my god, is that all?" I asked, holding my aching ribs. "I'm sorry Anzu. I should have trust you more. You _are_ my best friend after all."
"So, can you do me a favor and tell Yami what I told you? He refused to talk to me after he escorted me out of his home."
"Oh I'll tell him, but...not right away," I said with a grin and winked, causing Anzu to giggle.
"You are evil."
"I call it a little punishment. Oh, did you hear?"
"What?" she asked excitedly.
I held out my hand, and she squealed.
"Oh my god, you are sooooo lucky," she gasped as she grasped my hand and examined the ring. "It's beautiful. So," she said with a sly grin. "Yami proposed huh?"
My cheeks heated.
"Yeah. So, did you find anyone yet?" I asked, grinning, elbowing her in the ribs softly.
"As a matter of fact I did. But I'll tell you about it later. I think your lover there is getting a little jealous," she teased and giggled as I looked around and laughed along with her.
My little Yami was pouting, how cute!
RING! RIIIIIIIIING!
"Damn that bell!" I cursed, but smiled up at Anzu. "Well, we better get going."
"What's your first class?"
"Math."
"That's my class too!" Anzu said happily and grabbed my arm. "Let's go!"
"O...okay. Come on gang! Let's go!" I called and everyone hurried behind us as Anzu pulled me inside the school building.
~*~
Anzu and I pratically chattered in Math all day, luckily we weren't caught by the teacher, and I was over joyed that she was also in my Science class _and_ in my Language class.
We started catching up with each other during Brunch with all types of events.
She even told me about her new boyfriend in New York, and how she was thinking of moving there when she turned eighteen.
I told her a little bit about California, and we laughed at the time when Ryou had some heart attacks during a camping trip.
When fourth period came around, I was volenteering for stage manager all over again, and my Yami offered to play the main character.
It was till I was behind the curtains, checking to see if I needed to change them, when Yami approached me, and he didn't look happy.
"You alright?" I asked him with concern, tugging on the rope to see if the curtains would smoothly run.
He didn't answer, but instead kept coming towards me, and gently grasped my face and kissed me.
Once we parted, I stared at him with confusion, since I had no idea what to say.
But, luckily, Yami didn't expect me to say anything, and wrapped his arms around me tightly, burying his face into my shoulder.
"Y...Yami?"
"It's not fair."
My shock evaporated and I smiled gently and stroaked his hair.
"What's not fair?"
"How Anzu and you can chatter so much like women and leave us men out."
I bopped him on the head lightly.
"I'm not a woman. And I was just catching up with her. She _is_ my best friend, and I haven't seen her for two years."
"But _I'm_ your fi...I mean..."
I chuckled, while pushing him away a bit so I could see his face, and saw he was blushing and refusing to look at me.
"Are you...are you jeolous?" I asked and his face turned a darker shade of red.
"Awwwww, that is soooo cute," I chuckled, and kissed him on the tip of his nose. "I'm sorry love. I won't be so ignorant next time."
Yami smiled, and glanced at me before pulling away and stretching.
"I better see when the additions are going to be hosted. You will...come with me?"
"Nah, I have better things to do," I teased, and Yami snorted.
"Right, like you anything is better then _me_."
"You vain little..." I spluttered, but he already started walking away, chuckling to himself.
I chuckled myself before I went back to checking the curtain.
**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~
The first day of school passed by fast, and once that bell rang, I found Yami waiting for me at the front of the school building, and both of us, hand in hand, started walking towards the train station.
As we were walking, I felt...peaceful, for once.
And happy, that finally, Yami and I were offically a couple.
I slipped out of Yami's hand, and hugged his arm tightly, feeling Yami stop.
"Yugi?"
"Just happy."
"Heh, heh. So am I, love, so am I."
~~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~~
Mijikai: Not much action, sorry. But I'll be skipping a lot of months to get to Graduation, so Yugi and Yami can get their butts to college, and we start playing with more love triangles! A girl thinks Yugi's her destined one, while this guy is going for Yami, using Yugi in the process and it all becomes a tangled mess! Well, I hope you can bear with me before I get to the main part of the action.
REVIEW
My heart pounded in my chest as I sat in the taxi with Yami holding my hand tightly.
I tried to keep my tears in, but they broke, and I placed a hand to my mouth as I cried.
Arms wrapped around me, and I sobbed onto Yami's shoulder, as his hand stroaked my hair.
"Shhhhhhh, its alright aibou. I'm sure he will be alright," he whispered.
"They...they...said he wasn't....breathing...when they...found him," I wailed, and he held me tighter.
When Yami and I had arrived at the Game shop, I was surprised that no one was there; when I received the phone call.
Grandpa had had a heart attack and was found unconsious and no breath.
"If...if he died...then...then..."
"Aibou, he won't die, I promise," he reasured me.
"Uh, sir, we're here," the taxi diver announced, giving me a sympathetic look.
Yami payed, since my hands trembled to much to even lift my wallet out of my back pocket, and escorted me out of the taxi, and led me towards the hospital.
I shivered when I stepped in as the noise level had risen, and injuried patients were wheeled, or helped outside, or towards rooms.
The doors burst open and there was an old man on a stretcher, with two doctors wheeling him towards the operation doors.
One was olding the IV bag, while the other was pushing on his heart.
"We're losing him! We're losing him!" the man shouted before they disappeared into the doors.
I felt warmth drain out of me, and left me cold.
I didn't move, or think, till Yami tugged on my sleeve gently and looked at me with concern.
"Are you alright Yugi?" he asked.
"Yeah...yeah...fine," I gulped, and felt him squeeze my hand comfortingly, before leading me towards the front desk.
"Um, excuse me. Is there a Mr. Sugoroku Mutou registered here?" Yami asked.
The lady looked up and started typing on the computer.
"And you are sir?" she asked.
"I'm a friend of his grandson, Yugi Mutou," Yami explained.
In a moment, the lady smiled.
"I believe there is a Sugoroku Mutou, but I'm afraid its family only."
"But I am family," Yami said, and winked. "I'm Yugi's friend and cousin."
I thought I was going to burst out laughing.
We may not be related, but we sure look it.
"Oh, my apologies, follow me, and I shall escort you both to your Grandpfather's room," she said and removed herself from behind the desk and headed towards the elevator. "Mr. Mutou was found with a heart attack, and despite him not breathing, he pulled through just fine."

Anzu and I pratically chattered in Math all day, luckily we weren't caught by the teacher, and I was over joyed that she was also in my Science class _and_ in my Language class.

"You alright?" I asked him with concern, tugging on the rope to see if the curtains would smoothly run.
He didn't answer, but instead kept coming towards me, and gently grasped my face and kissed me.
Once we parted, I stared at him with confusion, since I had no idea what to say.
But, luckily, Yami didn't expect me to say anything, and wrapped his arms around me tightly, burying his face into my shoulder.
"Y...Yami?"
"It's not fair."
My shock evaporated and I smiled gently and stroaked his hair.
"What's not fair?"
"How Anzu and you can chatter so much like women and leave us men out."
I bopped him on the head lightly.
"I'm not a woman. And I was just catching up with her. She _is_ my best friend, and I haven't seen her for two years."
"But _I'm_ your fi...I mean..."
I chuckled, while pushing him away a bit so I could see his face, and saw he was blushing and refusing to look at me.
"Are you...are you jeolous?" I asked and his face turned a darker shade of red.
"Awwwww, that is soooo cute," I chuckled, and kissed him on the tip of his nose. "I'm sorry love. I won't be so ignorant next time."
Yami smiled, and glanced at me before pulling away and stretching.
"I better see when the additions are going to be hosted. You will...come with me?"
"Nah, I have better things to do," I teased, and Yami snorted.
"Right, like you anything is better then _me_."
"You vain little..." I spluttered, but he already started walking away, chuckling to himself.
I chuckled myself before I went back to checking the curtain.

The first day of school passed by fast, and once that bell rang, I found Yami waiting for me at the front of the school building, and both of us, hand in hand, started walking towards the train station.
As we were walking, I felt...peaceful, for once.
And happy, that finally, Yami and I were offically a couple.
I slipped out of Yami's hand, and hugged his arm tightly, feeling Yami stop.
"Yugi?"
"Just happy."
"Heh, heh. So am I, love, so am I."

Mijikai: Not much action, sorry. But I'll be skipping a lot of months to get to Graduation, so Yugi and Yami can get their butts to college, and we start playing with more love triangles! A girl thinks Yugi's her destined one, while this guy is going for Yami, using Yugi in the process and it all becomes a tangled mess! Well, I hope you can bear with me before I get to the main part of the action.
