Darkness and Inspiration
Kohari: Well, we're back. Don't know if anyone missed me or not –
Seto Kaiba: Who would?
Kohari: Hey, you're not in this one! –sigh- Well, since you're here, can you do the disclaimer for me?
Seto Kaiba: Lazy (beep!). Kohari does not own YGO and it's only a matter of time before Kaiba Corporations does! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Kohari: OK. Scary. Anywho...let's go!
Chapter 8
(Yugi and Yami)
Yami?
Can't sleep again?
Yeah. Sorry. Hope I'm not bothering you.
It's all right. What is on your mind?
...Anzu.
Oh. This again. You seem to think about her a lot.
Yeah. Wonder why.
You know why.
Yeah, but –
You're hoping it isn't true...
Mm-hm. It may not be.
And it may be.
...For some reason, I get the feeling I need to tell her tonight.
But it's late, Yugi.
I know, but...she said she'd always be willing to listen.
Even at two o'clock in the morning?
...
If that's what you feel you must do, then do it. If it is your heart speaking, then listen.
Again, you preach about doing as my heart tells me.
It is the truth. And you never listen.
With good reason! It's ridiculous!
Love is ridiculous?
Yes!
Must you shout? Everyone will hear you and the neighbors will complain.
I'm sorry.
All is forgiven.
But it is ridiculous.
No. It is not.
Is so.
How so?
Well...um...it's impossible!
Why?
Because! Um...your brain is what sends out all commands. Your heart can't do that.
I thought you always fell asleep in Science, Yugi.
No! I get onto Joey about it!
Then why were you snoring last week?
Umm...okay, so I nap sometimes, but that's not the point!
The point is that you love Anzu.
Right!...Wait! Wrong! The point is that I don't love Anzu!
Denial.
What'dya mean, denial! I don't!
Hn.
What's that supposed to mean?
Weren't you just saying a while ago that you wanted to tell her that you loved her?
Umm...
Just as I thought. It's all right, Yugi. You needn't worry. It's not as though everyone will know.
They might.
I'm sure she'll understand if you don't want her to inform anyone else.
I'm not.
You need faith, Yugi. You have trust in the heart of the cards, but you have none whatsoever in your own.
...You're right.
...
Besides, you've been around longer than I have. You would know things like this better than I would.
...
Are you still listening to me?
Yes.
Oh. You weren't saying anything.
There was nothing to say.
Not even "I told you so?"
It wasn't necessary.
...
...
Do you think I should call her?
I stand by what I said earlier. If that is what your heart is telling you to do, then do it.
...I will...
-Phone: 3 rings heard on other line. Before anyone picks up, Yugi hangs up.-
Why did you do that?
I can't do it.
What?
I can't tell her. I can't. I'm too scared.
What is there to be afraid of?
You have no idea.
Then how will you let her know?
I won't.
You must!
I can't! I'm too scared!
You've faced worse than this before. I have confidence in you. You must have confidence in yourself.
...Fine. You're right. As always. I'll tell her tomorrow.
Promise?
Huh?
If I don't force your word out of you to do it, then you won't confess to her.
Alright. I'll do it after school tomorrow.
Then it's settled.
Yes.
Then go to sleep. You shall have a big day ahead of you.
Goodnight, Yami.
Goodnight, Yugi.
Kohari: Okay. I'm done! Woohoo! Review, please!
[Possible] Preview of next chapter: Yugi confesses his love to Anzu (just got tired of writing Tea. It didn't look like a name the way I type it, stupid computer!). How will she react? And what will Seto do? Stay tuned!
