SummerAngel92: Hello everyone! I am sorry for not updating for some time now. Reasons are homework and no inspiration. Ryou will have the chance to talk to Yugi.
Yugi POV
I growled in frustration. Cleo's homework has no ending! But at least it is not as bad as my paperwork back at the base…..
So here I am, Yin Tyler doing my remaining homework at the school library. I had to stay back because of Cleo, Sam, Jake and Sandra.
It was awfully quiet since they are only a few people around.
Sighing. I closed the book that I was reading not long ago. I wearily leaned on my arm.
There had no news of Mr. Boss after Danny and Rick had found the weapon crates. The crates were found by the police a few days later after we found them. According to the news, they were illegal weapons, probably smuggled.
I yawned and sleepily rubbed my eyes. I was very tired at the moment from doing my homework and worrying of Mr. Boss devious plan. I nearly fell asleep if it wasn't for a voice which woke me up.
"Yugi? Are you okay?" asked a voice.
The voice sounded familiar and whoever it was called me Yugi. I looked over my shoulder and was startle to find Ryou.
"Are you okay, Yugi?" Ryou repeated and walk beside me.
Normally I wouldn't like if anyone goes near me especially the specific people I disliked most .I treated him coldly like the rest and mean too but he was still friendly and caring as usual. There was once when we were having P.E, I shoved him quite hard that he twisted his ankle. Sandra wasn't happy when I did that. In fact, she scolded me and forcing me to apologize to him. I didn't but instead …"Weakling. That shoved wasn't even that hard." I snapped causing him to look quite hurt.
"Why would you care?" I sneered. Ryou gave a small smile before replying.
"I care because you are my friend and my classmate."
I was quite taken back from the statement. After how I hurt him, he still considered me as…a friend?
"Well don't!" I snarled and got several shushed from some of the student who was studying near by. I just glared at them, nastily causing them to flinch.
Ryou went silent but said in a soft tone. "Why did you run away, Yugi?"
I was gathering my things when he asked the question. "First of all, my name is Yin not Yugi and secondly …" I paused to glare at him. "You know why."
"I rather hear it from you not a video." He replied and paused for a moment. "Yami misses you terribly."
I stopped but continued to gather my books. There were many of them and was quite heavy. "Like hell I care." I growled.
"Not only that, your grandfather has been grievous of your disappearance…" I paused to look at him in the eye. He wasn't lying I could tell. "He misses you, Yugi. All of us even for some of the people you never thought of."
It really struck me when I heard that. I thought they would have forgotten and had move on. "How is grandpa now?" I asked, quietly.
"He….is alright but….he has to go to the hospital quite often." Ryou replied sadly. "He has hardly eats or sleep for the past years. He kept on saying it was his fault that he had neglected you so much. The doctor had told us he must be properly taken care off or his condition would worsen. He seems better nowadays since Yami had taken good care of him but…..none of this would have happen if you had not run away."
I felt guilt and regret swept over me. I've never thought that I, running away would have cause so much pain to grandpa. Even though he had neglected me three years ago, he had raised me up since young and I was very grateful for that.
But most of all, I was very grateful towards Yami who had taken care of him all this years. I will never forgive myself and be plagued by dark nightmares. Nightmares of grandpa lying on the hospital bed dying.
I hung my head down in shame. Yami seems to be a better grandson than I did. I just ran away without caring of the consequences of my one and only family. I hated crying. Crying made me look weak but I couldn't prevent my tear to fall on the table.
"Yugi?" Ryou asked startled. I could easily guess that he didn't expect this kind of reactions. "Are you okay?"
I quickly wiped the tears which threaten to fall from my eyes. "I'm fine." I whispered. "Does he know I'm back?"
"No. Not yet. Yami didn't want to tell him. He rather wants you tell him." Ryou replied.
I didn't say anything but silently finished gathering my things. The others must be worried where I am now….
I was about leave when Ryou stopped.
"I happy to see you again, Yugi. I'm sure your grandfather will be happy to see you again."
"Thank you…"I whispered softly and left without a word.
As soon I was away from the library, I went to the restroom. I turned on the tap and splash my face with the cold water. I grip on the edge of the sink. I look myself at the mirror. It didn't reflect the fierce, cold person but someone who…had deeply regretted for its action.
I remembered while I was at the plane before I became into this, I had told myself that whatever happens to them is their problem, not mine. I never even want to care of what might happens but I do now.
It feels terrible.
I remained there fighting back my guilt and pain. After a while, I realized how late it was. I grab my things and went to the school gates where an anxious looking Sam was standing.
"Yin!" He gasped and ran towards me. "Are you alright? Where were you?"
An annoyed looking Sandra was beside me. "Sam's right. WHERE were you?" She growled. "You nearly gave Cleo a heart-attack!"
I look down sadly. "I'm very sorry. I just …got sidetracked." I whispered.
I saw Sam and Sandra surprise looking faces. Normally, I would had snapped at them and said it was my business or ignores them. I, apologizing, am quite rare among them.
"Are you okay?" Jake asked who appeared beside Sam.
I gave a small nod. I walk to the limo which was parked right outside the gates. The worried looking teammates behind me, I replied in a quiet voice.
"Let's go home."
SummerAngel92: Poor Yugi. He must be very sad….Cheer up! I promised the next chapter won't be so….angst. Pls Review!
