Sorry for being late yet again... Sigh and ghetto fanfiction.net is down
again...
Ur reviews have made me happy. I'm updating on time and that makes you [the reader] happy! Isn't this a nice cycle?
Also, to whoever is good at drawing...I would be eternally grateful if you would draw scenes from the story. I tried to, but as Carly would not tell you, they sucked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alyssa slept not a wink that night. Her 'darling' had been trying to seduce her all night long. After several hours of fending Yami off, she had retreated to her Soul Room just to have some peace. /Freaking son of a -/
Alyssa's thoughts were interrupted by Yugi and Ryou shouting at her Necklace for her to come out. Both she and Yami popped out of their respective Items.
Ryou sighed. "Phew, we were worried when we woke up only to find the Puzzle and Necklace on the bottom bunk instead of you guys.
"Interesting." The group ate breakfast and went their various ways. Jackie, Hannah, and Carly went off to shoe shop, Ryou, Yugi and Bakura left to go bowling, and Alyssa and Yami went back to bed, for some much needed sleep. Later, when Alyssa awoke, she found herself staring into Yami's eyes.
"What've you been doing?"
"Watching you sleep; you're an angel."
"I love you."
"And I you. That's why I wanted to begin your training-"
"Yeah, that's the only reason...." Alyssa laughed, rolling her eyes. She knew there was no right response to her statement.
"No! Well yes... No! The fact of the matter is that with untrained magic, you're a danger to yourself and those around you. I just want you to be safe."
"I understand."
"But we could probably try some basic training for now." They got out of bed, dressed, and cleared the family room of all furniture and wall hangings. The room was now ready for training.
"First, we want to find out what element you are. We'll test for shadow and light bases to begin wi-"
"But I thought you said-"
"Yes, yes that only yami/hikari pairs can be shadow or light. Well you never know when you'll be a yami. Like myself, remember how many times we puzzled over what I was going to be in the next life, all because of my shadow powers? Those were the days..." He and Alyssa smiled at each other, reminiscing about the good 'ol Egyptian life.
Many minutes later, they came out of their kiss for air. "Ahem, back to your training. I'm going to send a small ball of shadow energy at you. See if you can absorb it. If you can we're done, if you can't then we move on."
Yami spent a few moments concentrating on getting the ball of energy small enough that it would not seriously harm Alyssa. Not that he wanted to brag or anything, but when you're as powerful as Yami, the energy naturally came out powerful enough to severely hurt someone.
Alyssa held out her hand in preparation. When the dark purply-black energy shrank to the size of an eyeball, Yami gently tossed it at Alyssa's outstretched hand. She squeezed her eyes shut, focusing every fiber of her being on absorbing the tiny ball that was flying toward her.
"OW!"
"Alyssa, are you alright!"
"That ball burned me! Geez that hurts."
Yami looked at her blistering palm. Although the ball wasn't hot, it still caused magical burns, which hurt more than a fire burn, and took longer to heal. "Sorry, sorry, I made the ball as small as I could," Yami apologized.
"No, it's OK." Alyssa tried to heal her hand. "Why isn't it working?!"
"It's not a normal burn," Yami told her, after retrieving jell-O. "Most unfortunately, they have to heal naturally with out magic, they also hurt more and take longer to heal than a fire burn. Great for attacking, terrible for receiving." Yami said, spreading jell-O across Alyssa's palm.
"Jell-O? I thought only ice soothed burns."
"Alyssa, Alyssa, you keep forgetting this is not a normal burn. Many properties of heat burns do not apply to Shadow burns."
Alyssa grumbled, wrapping gauze around her comforted- but still painful- jello-y hand. "Now I see want Yugi and Ryou meant."
"Shall we continue testing or do you want a break?"
"Might as well get it over with..."
"Alrighty then, now for the light test. Obviously, I can't conjure a light ball for you to absorb, so I'll keep blathering away and you see if you can 'mute' me..." Yami kept making sounds.
Alyssa tried to 'turn off' Yami's drone, but after five minutes, they declared it a failure. For earth, Alyssa attempted to mentally move a piece of gravel. That failed. For life, the ex-Queen tried to talk to her cats. That failed. For fire, they turned on the gas stove and Alyssa tried to absorb the flame. That failed. For air, she attempted to create a gentle breeze. The ancient royals were blown against the wall, the wind (pardon the pun) knocked out of them.
Yami coughed, regaining his breath. "I guess we found out what your element is."
Alyssa panted, totally wiped out from using that large burst of energy. "Y- yeah..." She stumbled over to the couch and fell on it. Alyssa was asleep before she felt the impact.
"Note to self, start training out small."
The other boys arrived home, informing Yami that the girls had decided to go to their own houses, as opposed to coming back to Alyssa's.
"Eventful twenty four hours, huh?" Yugi asked.
"Yeah," Ryou replied.
"So Yami, did you find out Alyssa's element?" the ex-tomb robber asked.
"Yes, air," Yami answered, walking out the front door. After retrieving the mail, Yami sorted it into piled by who it was for.
"Mom, dad, junk, junk, dad, junk, mom," Yami mumbled to himself. "Oh, hey Yugi! We got one from the gang."
"Spiffy!" Yugi replied, reaching for the envelope.
Opening it, Yugi recognized a variety of handwritings. First was Joey's. Yugi read the letter out loud to the rest of the boys.
"Hey guys. They (the gang) are still not letting me tell ya what the surprise is. Tea says its for Grandpa to tell, as he is the 'brains of the operation.' What ever that means... So how's America been treating you since we left. Any action with the ladies-" Yugi blushed and stopped reading aloud for a moment. "Oh never mind I'm not telling you guys that part. "It'll be good to see you again. I miss ya. Joey.' 'Hey, it's me Tea. A bit redundant to say, because you probably already recognized my handwriting, but that's not the point. Things here are going great. And guess what?! I got accepted to go to dance school in America! Isn't that exciting? So I'll be going to college there. Grandpa also has another surprise for you. But it is not my place to tell you, as Joey has so kindly mentioned. Have fun until next time we see each other. Tea." Yugi read the various other personal notes aloud and soon he was at the last one- Grandpa's.
"Dear my Grandson and his friends, how's school? Your new friends? Your grades? Your girlfriends? Things here in Domino are going excellently. Business at the shop is better than ever; which brings me to my next point. We're moving to Florida, all of us, in the spring. You, Yami, the Bakuras, the Kiabas, the Gardners, the Taylors, Mrs. Wheeler, Joey and Serenity, Mai, everyone will see you soon. Enclosed in the envelope are five plane tickets so you and your hose can come home one last time. See you soon and all my love, Grandpa."
