Yami's POV
Why?
Why not?
But it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter at all.
End Yami's POV
"Class, we have two new students today. Please welcome Yami and Yuugi..." the teacher trailed off, moving to the side to allow passage to the new students. In entered two nearly identical boys, known to us as the ex-pharaoh of Ancient Egypt and the King of Games whom originally came from the city Domino. But no one there knew that.
It wasn't one of the big cities in Japan, but one of those much smaller village type of place. Still, a high school is a high school and being new students to one causes big commotions. Yuugi glanced around the class nervously, eyes scanning for any familiar faces. But who was he kidding?
There would be no one there he'd recognize. He had left everything behind. Not necessarily the everything, but everything else. A hand gripped his shoulder reassuringly, the same calloused fingers he had been holding before now gently massaging his shoulders, relieving him of his anxieties.
He smiled with his head set downcast, hiding his expression to the new people he'd yet to become friends with, though he doubt he would want to. It wasn't the same as before. All too confusing for him too handle, to comprehend. Why did he leave?
It doesn't matter...
Why doesn't it, Yami...?
Because... I'm here.
It doesn't matter?
No.
Why do these things happen...?
Why does the heart lie?
What happens when you die...?
"It doesn't matter..."
"Yuugi! Yuugi! Wait up!" Two heads turned around at the call. Yuugi, the shorter of the two, smiled gingerly at the red haired girl running toward him and his other. She stopped in front of them, hands rested on her knees and panted for much needed oxygen. "So... so... want to have lunch together?"
It was an innocent gesture at friendship but Yuugi felt Yami's rage, his anger pointed particularly at 'Rei'. As quick as he possibly could come up with a reason, Yuugi excused himself, claiming that he wanted to spend time with his other.
His other.
Rei didn't know what it meant but it sounded pretty intimate to her. She realized her mistake and gladly backed down. It wasn't her position to try and become friends with Yuugi, not when he was more concerned about his other.
Don't try to be nice...
Stop pretending...
This shell is not as innocent and naive as its exterior pretends to be.
"Yuugi?"
"Yes, Yami?"
"Let's go."
"Okay."
"Ne... Yami..."
"What?"
"Are you angry?"
"Angry? No, Yuugi. I am not angry..."
"I see..."
Sounds of clothes rustling was what woke up Yuugi. He slowly sat up on the bed, head turning to the right to see what the problem was. "Yami? ... What... what are you doing?"
"Waking up to make breakfast..."
"Oh?"
Yuugi frowned, eyebrows drawn together in thought. Something was wrong, very wrong. He could feel it. With no further thoughts, two hands found their way to Yami's face, gently cupping it. "Is it because of yesterday?" Crimson hues darkened as the elder forced on a smile.
"No..."
"It's because of her, isn't it? It's because of Rei that you're--"
"No..."
Yuugi's hand dropped to his side dejectedly. "It is..."
"No."
Scrambling to the desk beside their bed, the smaller one picked up the knife laid on top of it. He held his arm in front of him and slashed it, eyes clenched shut and body shaking from the pain. Yami was immediately beside him and embraced him. He disposed of the knife and sniffed the air, wrinkling his nose at the scent of blood.
Yuugi smiled and snuggled closer to his other. "It is."
What's going on?
What's happening?
I don't understand...
But it doesn't matter...
Meet me on the balcony.
Yuugi
Rei stared dubiously at the note in her hand as she stepped up the stairs to the top of the school. Why would Yuugi want to meet up with her? Especially not after yesterday...
She sighed deep and long. Things just couldn't get anymore confusing and complicated for her. She finally reached the door and turned the knob, squinting when a wind rushed There in front of her stood Yuugi... alone. Strange... she had expected his... other to be there with him.
"Yuugi?" she called out softly.
"Oh, Rei-chan! I'm glad you decided to come! I was really starting to think you wouldn't come!" the short teen exclaimed, rushing over to hug Rei.
Rei was surprised to say the least, tensing at the contact. This was different. "Yuugi? W-what's going on...?"
"Hehe." Yuugi let go of her, backing away by a few steps. "I just wanted to talk to you... that's all..."
"About what?"
"Nothing really... just..."
"Just...?"
Suddenly, Yuugi's eyes changed to a much darker hue, one resembling that of his other. Blood red eyes glared at her, the smile and friendliness previously shown gone. Rei stuttered and backed up against the door. "J-just... what... Yuugi?"
"Just... nothing," the other Yuugi mumbled. He grinned at her. Before she could question his motives again, shadows surrounded her, pulling her down until... nothing.
Two silhouettes stood above one of the tall buildings of the city, their eyes looking down at everyone. Above them, the stars and moon shone with an odd glint. One of them, known as Yami, smiled and patted his other, Yuugi, gently on the head. "It'll be okay, little one. As long as I'm here..."
"Nothing else will matter..." finished Yuugi. He held onto the elder more tightly, wrapping his arms around him possessively.
Yami's POV
Sometimes you wonder...
What are the important things in life...
And how much do they worth to you...
But it doesn't matter.
