Hey all! Glad you're still interested !
Yep. You know it, I still don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!
A special thanks to those who took the time to review! It means a lot! Arigato!!
Yugi walked down the street lost in thought about two hours after his conversation with Shido. Yugi smiled. It still surprised him how much had changed in just a little less than a year. Yugi was still shy and quiet, sure. But he had changed. He felt more confident, he even felt a little righteous anger for his so called friends ditching him. But despite that anger…he still wished he could have the gang back. Not that Yugi would want to give up Shido, not by a long shot, still, it would be nice to have someone to share his happiness with.
Yugi was so caught up in his thoughts he didn't even notice the two shadows following him, and that annoyed Yami a bit as he followed his aibou, who's thought patterns were so far away the boy might as well be on Mars. Yami could since a sort of distracting peace in Yugi's thought patterns, and Yugi was happy that Yugi was happy. But it annoyed him that Yugi couldn't even ensure his own safety.
Yami walked silently behind aibou, and, more noteworthy, the two shadows creeping along the walls just behind him. His heartbeat accelerated as one of the shadows sped up towards Yugi. Placing enormous energy on one foot Yami sprang into a energetic run, grabbing Yugi and pulling him out of the way just as the shadow shot off the wall at them. Yami and Yugi landed on their feet, Yugi looking very shaken and surprised.
"Yami…where did you come from?" Yugi asked, puzzled that his look-alike had just bolted out of nowhere.
Yami ignored the question as the second shadow shot off the wall, both of them taking human figures. One a black haired male about Seto's height in dark blue pipe jeans and a black shirt and a woman with shiny blonde hair and crimson eyes, about Tea's height in a black skirt and a jean material belly shirt. Both of them turned, looking past Yami at Yugi.
"That's the boy, isn't it?" The chick asked, looking at her companion.
The male nodded. "Sure is. Matches the description to the letter."
The woman strode towards Yugi with a sort of step meant to draw men like moths to a flame. Yami frowned and placed a protective arm in front of Yugi, with a look warning the woman to stay back.
"What do you want with Yugi?" Yami demanded.
The woman smiled in a cruel, sadistic manner.
"That's none of your business, but I will tell you this, he's coming with us."
Before Yami could react the Male lunged at Yami, knocking him out of the way, and the woman made her way to Yugi.
Yugi looked up, annoyed at the woman, who placed her hand under his chin and tipped his face up to look at her.
"You sure are a cutie…" she said licking her lips.
She bent down by Yugi's ear, running her toung along behind it. Yugi grunted.
How could she know…?
The woman pushed an annoyed Yugi up against the wall. Her intent clear. She leaned down and placed her mouth on top of Yugi's, nipping lightly at the boy's bottom lip, her hand running down his chest towards his pants. Yugi regained some control at this point and attempted to push the woman away. She responded by biting down on his bottom lip. Yugi gasped and the woman took the opportunity to slip her toung in, exploring the warm cavern. Her hand ran down into Yugi's pants, where she grabbed a hold.
No…not there…
Yugi's eyes welled with tears as he tried as hard as he could to get the woman off of him. But something seemed to be stealing his strength.
Just when Yugi thought it was over, the woman was flung away, screaming. Yugi looked up in surprise to see a very pissed off Yami glaring the woman down.
"How dare you think to touch one as pure as him with your tainted, dirty hands!" Yami roared. The sky seemed to grow darker and dangerous light flashed behind Yami's crimson orbs.
The woman stood sneering.
"He'll learn in time what he's gotten himself into." She turned a mocking eye to Yugi. "See around sweet thing, we'll finish what we started then."
Yami growled as the male hobbled over to the woman, bruises all over his body.
"What makes you think you'll be returning to where you came from after such a grievous mistake such as this?" Yami's voice was grave.
The woman turned a scowl upon the ancient pharaoh .
"And what makes you think you can stop us?"
Yami's eyes lit with a sort of humor, but somehow, Yugi didn't get the joke.
"Oh, you'll go where shadows like yourself belong." Yami chuckled as a small portal opened behind the two offenders. Yami nodded towards the hole as he strode towards them. "a never ending realm of shadows. Nothing more befitting, wouldn't you agree?" With that Yami flung both of the assailants through the portal, allowing the gate to draw closed.
Yugi, still shell-shocked, sat wide eyed and alert. The experience had shaken him and he finally reacted, curling into a ball, one hand on his lips, the other…where she had touched him….
only one person is EVER allowed to touch me there….
Tears began to course down Yugi's face as Yami approached. Yami bent down to the young lad, his aibou, and Yami pulled him up into his embrace. Yugi threw his arms around Yami, burying his face in Yami's chest, his body wracking with sobs.
The taller stroked the boys hair, rocking him back and forth. Eventually, Yami picked Yugi up and carried him back to their place and up to his room. There Yugi finally dried his tears and turned to his companion with a half smile.
"It's good to see you again by the way…I can see it's been one hectic day back, huh?"
Yami turned a tender smile on his mirror image and reached up unconsciously, sliding a lock of Yugi's hair back. Yami snatched his hand back as her realized what he was doing, but the expression remained.
"Well, it's been…interesting, to say the least."
Yugi smiled placing a hand where Yami had touched his hair.
"I…It was nice meeting your….friend…today" Yami said weakly.
Nice…I wanted to ring the little imps neck when I saw him kissing on Yugi…what the hell did he think he was doing anyway? Like they were so…familiar….but then again…isn't that what the term lover is meant to imply….Why does it even bother me so much?!
Yugi's smiled took on a dreamy quality.
"Yeah…he's been great…" Yugi's eyes drifted shut and the boy just looked so content it made Yami's heart contract.
Why can't I make him smile like that?….wait…what the hell am I thinking…this is Yugi, aibou….why would I want to make him smile like that…I don't swing that way….at least…I don't' think so…still, it would make sense of my reluctance to examine my own feelings…
Yami's heart felt heavier in his chest…as if something had been taken away from him…and Yami knew what it was…
Yugi's eyes drifted open and focused on Yami. Immediately his expression changed, he cocked his head to the side and looked Yami in the eye.
"What is it? What's wrong?" Yugi's voice was thick with concern
Yami shook his head.
"It's nothing…don't worry about it" Yami said, pushing himself up and walking from the room "I better get in a shower before bed."
Yami walked down the hallway to his old room, which held his still unopened suitcase. He walked over and pulled out a pair of black boxer shorts and headed for the bathroom. Shutting the door he walked over and turned the hot water all the way on. Yami stripped off his black shirt and deftly undid the buttons on his leather pants, finally stepping out of his boxer and stepping into the shower. His mind wandered over today's events. He felt a wave of anger wash over him as he saw the Shido boy hanging all over Yugi, and Yami could picture all to well in his mind how aibou had looked in the blondes arms as they shared that kiss. His ears picked up the sound of something grinding. At first this startled the Spirit until he realized that it was coming from him.
By this time the water had run cold so he turned the water off and grabbed a towel, drying off. He then grabbed his fresh boxers and slid into them.
Proceeding out the door into the hallway, he came face to face with Yugi again, who had his own shower supplies in hand. Yami felt a rush of….something he couldn't identify at the thought of Yugi in the shower.
That's ridiculous, I've known he was in the shower before and it didn't affect me at all like this…
Yugi bid Yami a good-night and headed into the bathroom.
Sighing the pharaoh walked into his modern day bedroom and flung his suitcase off into the corner, deciding a good dose of sleep would help.
Sliding under the covers Yami snuggled into the mattress and fell quickly asleep.
Yami stood bored as the music played through the hall. He wasn't even sure why he'd decided to come to the ball in the first place…all he knew was that, at the time, it had sounded like a good idea. The same loud music echoed through the room as Yami searched for one of his friends. Suddenly, he spotted someone that he recognized and made his way over to a young lad standing on the edge of the dance floor, looking as bored as Yami himself.
Yami couldn't explain why, but as he saw the mirror image of himself-albeit shorter and softer- Something Yami couldn't identify began tugging the strings on his heart. The feeling grew stronger as he got closer to the lad. As he finally reached the boy, he smiled as an old fashioned waltz played.
On impulse he took the boys hand without asking permission, but surprisingly, the boy turned a dreamy smile on Yami and gladly walked to the dance floor with him.
Somehow he knew he should recognize the lad, and indeed, part of him was screaming that he knew this person. But he just couldn't place a name, or even a place where they had met.
All Yami knew, as he twirled the floor with the lads soft body in his arms, was that this felt right, and that he wanted this moment to last forever…though he knew that it couldn't.
He looked down at the lad, and heard words spilling from his mouth, that he could've sworn he hadn't known were even in his mind.
"I've wanted to hold you like this forever…yet only in dreams can my wishes be realized….Nor do I wish to awaken, because as daylight breaks the horizon, you shall fade from my arms…"
The lad tsked.
"Dreams are not meant to sustain those who have the ability to fly while living. You are alive, don't allow dreams to be your only source of life. If there's something you desire in your dreams, chase it while you're awake. You'll never aspire this way."
Yami smiled down. "Yugi" he breathed as he lowered his lips to the boys. As he felt his lips connect to heaven, he resolved that he would not be satisfied with this feeling as only a dream. Leaning up he looked Yugi in the eye.
"I will make you mine."
