Chapter 13
What is it about the summer? You wait and wait for it to come when you're in school, then you just want it to leave? You get so bored with the camping, swimming, and just plain goofiness you can't wait for school to start.
Senior year. The year when all you say is good-bye to everyone all year long. This is what everyone wonders about. Why?
We join Yugi, Ash, Becky, and Sesshoumaru when they are 18, one week before school starts.
Ash knocked on Yugi's door.
"Oh, he- Ash! What is the matter?" Yugi asked quickly pulling Ash into an embrace and shutting the door.
Ash's sobs shook her short frame.
"You guys get into a fight again?" Yugi asked rubbing Ash's back. "You know you can come live with me. They can't stop you now. Your legally and adult. Wait for things to cool down and then decide what you want to do. Don't decide now while everyone is still upset, you could do something you regret."
"T-thanks Yugi you're the greatest," Ash said burying her head into Yugi's chest.
"I'm going to run down to get the mail, then I'll make you some breakfast ok?" Yugi said breaking the embrace. Ash nodded sitting on the couch. Yugi was the BEST cook ever.
Yugi came back a few minutes later. "Jesus Seto! College doesn't cost that much! Yugi explained walking into his apartment.
"What do you mean Yugi?" Ash asked from her seat, she had picked up Yugi's copy of Eragon by Christopher Paolini and was reading the back.
"Seto Kaiba has been sending me money to live off, and to take care of the apartment, he just sent me 2 million dollars for college!"
"You mean the Kaiba that goes to our school? How did he get that much money?" Ash asked brown eyes wide.
"He owns Kaiba Corp. in Japan. He is the CEO and KC just went global. He is making more money than Bill Gates!"
"Wow."
"Ash, that reminds me... What college do you want to go to? You could go to any one you wanted... You've got the grades for it," Yugi said, concerned because Ash hadn't voiced ANY thought or opinions on what college she wanted go to, anytime the subject was mentioned she had quickly changed the subject, like she just had done.
"I think I'm just going to go to CMU, I'm not really sure what I want to do..." She said staring of into space with a wistful look.
Yugi sat down beside her on the couch. "It's the money isn't it? I've got tons of money saved up from all the money Kaiba gave me, I can pay for it."
"Yugi... I depend on you for so much, I can't ask you to do this for me also..." Ash said giving him one of those simple chaste kisses he loved so much, one that said how much she loved him.
"Alright..." Yugi said hugging her. She was just to stressed out to get into an argument about something he had a pretty good idea of how to fix.
Ash's sister was 20 and still lived at home, they fought often, most of the time Ash's parents got involved, a verbal sparing match between all 4 members of the family broke out, and she just couldn't deal with it anymore.
"Now, for that breakfast I said I was going to cook you, what would you like?" Yugi asked still embracing Ash.
"Thanks Yugi... for everything, not just for loving me, and offering the money, but for understanding me, and knowing when is not the time to argue," Ash said quietly.
Yugi just gave her a bright smile.
"Eggs and bacon please!" Ash said giving Yugi one of her beautiful 100-watt smiles.
Yugi nodded going into the kitchen and making the desired food. He only had to put his plan into action...
"Ching Chong!" Becky yelled bursting into Yugi's apartment around noon. "Girl talk! Out Yugi, out!" She said shoving Yugi into the hall.
"Well that's nice, kicked out of my own apartment..." then in a quieter voice, "Thanks Beck."
He met up with Sesshoumaru in the parking lot.
"You sure about this Sess?" Yugi asked.
"As sure as you are about yours."
Yugi nodded jumping into his car with Sess.
"Ah, hello!" the clerk said looking up from where he was fixing a diamond ring.
"We are just looking for now," Yugi replied smiling at the old man.
Yugi looked through the rings in the display. Then he saw it the perfect pair of rings. They were plain gold bands, but platinum, silver, and the gold were braided together, small stones braided in. 1 of each. Ruby, Emerald, Saphire, and diamond.
"Ah, I made those with scraps from a necklace, the rocks are flawed, just some tiny scratches on the bottom, but they look beautiful just the same eh? I can't seem to get rid of them, so I'm going to sell them as a pair for 5,000," The clerk said looking at the rings fondly.
"I'll take them, Sess you got what you need?" Yugi asked.
"I really have to thank you for this Yug. Without you I would never be able to get these rings until after college... I promise I'll pay you back."
Yugi smiled at his friend. "Sess, even if you never pay me back, you're still my best friend, and this is what I can do for you and Becky."
The two friends smiled paying for their rings and getting back into the car.
"Thanks again Yug. I'll see you around," Sesshoumaru said dragging Becky out of the apartment.
Yugi nodded.
He turned to where Ash was reading Eragon.
"What would you like for dinner?" He asked her.
"Whatever you want to make... I'm not sure," Ash said.
"Well then, why don't you go take a bath while I get it ready!"
Yugi quickly went into action. He made his famous New York Strip Steak, and lit two candles.
He set the coffee table and set two cushions on the floor across from each other.
By the time Ash came out of the bathroom he was ready. He had the rings in his jeans pocket and led Ash to her seat.
She giggled at the romantic setting. It was better than actually sitting at a dining room table in a restaurant, they were alone in a comfortable place, and a song softly played on the radio.
'I was down, my dreams were wearing thin
When your lost, where do you begin
My heart always seemed to drift from day to day
Looking for the love, that never came my way'
They ate in companionable silence.
'Then you smiled and I reached out to you
I could tell you were lonely too
One look then it all began for you and me
The moment that we touched, I knew that there would be'
"Ash, I can't even describe how happy you make me..."
'Two less lonely people in the world
And it's gonna be fine
Out of all the people in the world
I just can't believe your mine
In my life where everything was wrong
Something finally went right
Now there's two less lonely people in the world tonight'
"All I can say is that you are my world, and what I'm going to ask you doesn't have to happen until after college, and I want us to go to the same college..."
'Just to think, what I might have missed
Looking back, how did I exist
I've dreamed, still I never thought I'd come this far
But miracles come true, I know 'cause here we are' "Don't say anything until I'm finished please, this is... hard enough as it is..."
'Two less lonely people in the world
And it's gonna be fine
Out of all the people in the world
I just can't believe your mine
In my life where everything was wrong
Something finally went right
Now there's two less lonely people in the world tonight' "I love you will all my heart, and I want to spend my life with you... and only you... if you ever left me... I'm not sure what I would do..." 'Tonight I fell in love with you
and all the things I never knew
Seem to come to me somehow
Baby love is here and now there's...' "What I'm trying to say... Trying to ask is..." 'Two less lonely people in the world
And it's gonna be fine
Out of all the people in the world
I just can't believe your mine
In my life where everything was wrong
Something finally went right
Now there's two less lonely people
Two less lonely people
Two less lonely people in the world tonight' "Is, will you... will you marry me?" 'Two less lonely people in the world
And it's gonna be fine
Out of all the people in the world
I just can't believe your mine
In my life where everything was wrong
Something finally went right
Now there's two less lonely people
Two less lonely people
Two less lonely people in the world tonight' Ash had tears shining in her eyes as Yugi slipped the ring onto her finger. He fell over onto his back as she tackled him into a fierce embrace. She just couldn't seem to form the words. Yugi was patient and he knew the answer by the way she was hugging him. He kissed the top of her head."I-I love you, Yugi Mutou, and it would be the biggest mistake of my life to tell you no. I'm not stupid enough to make that mistake, so YES!!" They shared one of those simple, sweet kisses, then cleaned in more companionable silence, and then went to sleep, in each other's arms contented and happy. Owari, 'till next time. Sword Master Jeff: Thanks! UltaAnimeFangurl: Yes the plot is coming up... finally! Note: I will now go by a new policy, people haven't been reviewing, so I will now make future chapter 200 words per review. Sorry for the Formatting, I'm trying to fix it... O yeah, "Two Less Lonely People In the World" does not belong to me, it belongs to Air Supply... really good song, listen to it!
