I've thought about it & I think this idea must have been inspired by
Forbidden Memories for the PlayStation, since the Nobles are somewhat based
on what Seto said about being High-born & controlling darkness, so maybe
I'll have to complete the game again now & see if it can give me any more
weird inspiration.
Thanks to Rena Campbelle for actually reviewing.
Also, I hate the title but couldn't think of anything better, so if anyone wants to make a better suggestion, I'd be grateful.
Also, any ideas, required explanations or requests are welcome, after all, I can't improve if no one tells me what I'm doing wrong.
Oh, suppose I ought to warn you that I really don't like Tea, so there may be some minor bashing, though I don't intend to do it deliberately.
Anyway, on to chapter 3.
Yugi sat at the shop counter, it had been half an hour since Yami had finished on the phone, he had blocked the entire conversation & had yet to remove the mental block. Yugi was worried & wanted to check that Yami was okay but he knew he needed time to think, so Yugi had left him without interruption, though that didn't stop him worrying, or wishing that Yami would remove the block or talk to him, just to let Yugi know he was fine. Yugi heard the bell on the shop door ring & looked up to find his friends entering, Yugi allowed a smile to form on his face, removing the previous worried expression. "Hey Yug', how're things goin'?" Joey asked, a wide grin plastered on his face. Yugi shrugged nonchalantly. "Shop's been slow, so I've been a little bored. I'm really glad to see you guys." "I'm rather surprised things could be slow, considering how popular duel monsters is, especially after Battle City." Ryou stated in his usual, polite manner. Yugi nodded. "I said the same thing to Grandpa, he just said not to worry about it." "Hey Yugi, where's Yami?" Tea asked, causing Yugi to sigh dejectedly. "Something wrong bud?" Joey asked with unmasked concern. "Not really. Ishizu phoned earlier & spoke to him & he's been upstairs since, he even put up a mental block when he spoke to her & hasn't removed it. I guess I'm worried about him." Yugi replied truthfully. "Pharaoh hasn't told you what is was about?" Bakura asked incredulously. Yugi turned to face him immediately, hoping Bakura would have some answers. "You know what it was about?" Malik shrugged next to him. "We kind of overheard Ishizu." "Well? What was it about?" Yugi asked, curiosity getting the better of him. "She had a vision of Yami's past, before he became Pharaoh, so she wanted to tell him about it. I'm surprised he didn't let you hear." Malik replied, a slightly smug look gracing his features. "That's strange, Yami's never minded me knowing about his past before." Yugi trailed off, noticing how fidgety Bakura was. "Do you know something Bakura?" Bakura visibly jumped. "Why would I know why Sa-Pharaoh blocked you?" "You were going to call him by his past name, weren't you? Did you know him or something?" Malik asked suspiciously, before adding, "After all, you did say that you knew his sister." Yugi was about to respond, when another voice cut him off. "Come with me tomb robber, I think we need to talk." Yami stood in the doorway that led to Yugi's home. He turned to leave, but then added, "Don't bother asking anything Yugi, this doesn't concern you, the same goes for you too Malik." Bakura quickly followed Yami, glad to be saved from the awkward question.
Yami sat on his bed, watching a very uncomfortable looking tomb robber, normally, Yami would have teased him for losing his usual façade, but today was anything but normal. Yami sighed, trying to figure out what to say. Bakura beat him to it however. "What do you remember Saharen?" Yami smirked inwardly, deciding he could make this into a game. "Well, why don't you ask me what you want to know? It would be easier then me trying to explain." "Don't start Saharen, I'm not in the mood." Bakura snapped. Yami instantly dropped his indifferent mask, allowing Bakura to see his hurt & regret. "Did it really hurt you so much Nub? My loss of memories?" Bakura sighed deeply & Yami could tell just how much pain the former tomb robber had been hiding. "Yes Saharen, it hurt me a lot. Especially the duel, not only did you have no idea who I was, but you sent me to the graveyard, discarded as nothing." "I'm so sorry love. You know I'd never hurt you deliberately, right?" Yami replied, his tone holding nothing but compassion & regret, very different from how he spoke to everyone else, even Yugi, such emotion was only ever shown by the two to each other. Yami moved closer to Bakura & wrapped his arms around Bakura's shoulders, in an attempt to comfort him. "I know, that was what kept me going. Having you so close & yet not being able to have you, to even talk to you, was killing me, but you remember now, so it doesn't matter anymore. I love you Saharen, always." Bakura replied, moving into Yami's embrace. He smiled, finally content & free of the ever-present pain he had grown so used to since his return. "Yei mer tuei Nub, wah." Yami replied in their native tongue, before revelling in the reunion as his lover was.
It's a bit short I know, but I thought it needed ending there, with all the OOC fluff. I've never written fluff before, so let me know how I did. Please R it's great inspiration to write more. Hope you've enjoyed the story so far. Later.
