SummerAngel92: Hello Everyone! Now is the time for Yugi and Yami to talk to each other…..Yay! Enjoy!
Two weeks passed by swiftly, after the brief encounter with Ryou Bakura. Yin was somewhat less cold and dark but that doesn't mean he had softened entirely. He just didn't become too friendly with them.
The members of the Gold Team were wondering what had happened to him since he was less uptight and less strict.
"What do you think happened?" asked Sam while looking at the quiet teen who was writing on his book.
"I'm not really sure either. I just heard that he met that white-haired boy, Ryou at the library. The librarian says that Yin looks very sad and guilty after he finished talking with him. He didn't hear much, something like 'He misses you' and 'Grandfather'. That was all he heard." Jake replied through the small intercom which was hidden perfectly on Sam's collar shirt.
"Do you think this is about his grandfather?" Jake asked when Sam did not reply.
"Maybe…." Sam replied, quietly when he notice Yin looking at Ryou with an unknown expression then later a look of gratitude at the Yami.
"I've got a feeling that Ryou had something had greatly upset the boy." Sam murmured. "Despite all the pain and sadness he had seen throughout his life as a spy, something must have triggered his pain."
There was a soft gasp from Jake. "Poor Yin, something must have happen to his grandfather then."
"Probably." Was all could Sam reply.
Yugi POV
I quietly write on my book as I felt Sam eyes on me. I could tell that he was worried about me. Not only him but the entire crew as well. They seem to notice my changes. I was still the same though but not entirely. I still felt terrible about the news of grandpa even though it was a long time ago.
I bit my bottom lips as I was nervous. I needed to know more what had happened so I've decided to write a note to certain person.
Yami.
I wanted to give him the letter since I needed to know how is grandpa and the only who knows is Yami himself. I could have easily spied on them on my own but I needed to hear it from Yami.
I needed to know it from him only.
I took a deep breath as I finished writing the letter. Now the only thing was that….should I write who written it to him?
But I decide to be honest to him and to myself. I sign my name neatly at the bottom.
Folding it neatly, I slipped it into my trench coat.
The school bell rang a while later, Sam dismissed the class and everyone gathered their books. I was the fastest since I didn't carried much. I was the first to leave the class. Sam raised his eyebrow at me when he saw I was in a hurry.
"See you in while. I need to do something first." I said, quickly and hurried to Yami's locker.
While I was there, it wasn't too crowded and the student was oblivious at my presence. I quickly took out the letter and slipped it into the locker. I sighed in relief whilst praying he would accept.
I turned around and met face to face with a teen with blonde hair and brown eyes.
Joey.
Joey looked confused and …angry?
"What da you think you're doing?" He growled.
I was about to growled back when I noticed how…. Messy he was. I cocked an eyebrow at him, not wanting to know what he has been doing.
"I asked again, what ya are doing with Yami's locker!" He growled again.
I snorted. "Nothing." I look at him in disgust. "I'm amaze that people could not hear strange noises around the school."
He looked angrier than I could imagine. "Well I didn't do any of those sorts!" He snapped. "The teachers asked me to fetch something!"
I rolled my eyes and replied. "Whatever. You are a dog after all."
Joey looked furious but I walked past him without a word.
Normal POV
As Yin was gone, Yami and the others were surprise to find Joey fuming.
"What's up, Joey?" Honda asked when he noticed the furious looking Joey.
"Th…that bastard!" Joey growled.
"Who?" Ryou asked, confused.
"Who else? Yugi!"
"What did he say?" Yami asked.
"Well he thinks that I was …well with Seto and ….never mind!" He snapped. "I saw him put something in ya locker, Yami."
"My locker?" Yami asked, startled.
"Yeah. A letter or something." Joey replied.
Yami opened his locker and sure enough a letter was there. He took it out whilst closing his locker.
"What do you think he wrote?" asked Mai.
"Open the letter, Yami." Anzu said.
Yami open it and read it. After reading, there was a confused look at his face but gladness.
"What is it, Yami? What did he write?" Ryou asked.
"Nothing. Just something." He replied with a small smile.
"Tell us." Mai urged.
Yami just chuckled. "Sorry. I can't. I have to go alone."
"Go? Go where?" Anzu asked, confused. "I though we were going to the movies tonight!"
Yami gave her an apologetic smile. "Sorry Anzu. This is more important. Let's reschedule it, alright?"
"But-" Anzu was cut off by Ryou.
"He wants to talk to you in private, I guessed?" Ryou said.
Yami nodded.
"Well I hope it works out." Mai replied with a smile as well.
"But why does he wants to talk to Yami alone? Why can't we follow?" Anzu frowned.
"Because Yugi wants to talk to him alone, Anzu. Probably something important." Honda commented.
"Hmph! That boy refused to talk to us, treated us coldly and now you're going to still talk to him?" Anzu said, annoyed.
"Anzu, Yami can go out with you any time but this is a chance Yami can't miss!" Ryou reasoned.
"I still don't think we should forgive that Yin. Don't you remember when he said he wanted revenge and made his grandfather ill?"
Yami and the rest were silent but interrupted by Yami's cold glare towards the girl.
"I don't care what you say, Anzu but Yugi is still my hikari no matter what…" he growled.
Anzu didn't reply back since Yami was angry for the way she had talk about Yugi.
The gang said their goodbyes and headed home. Yami went home quickly and was greeted by his grandfather.
"Hello Yami. Why are you such in a hurry?" He asked.
Yami smiled at him. "Hi grandpa. Nothing really, just anxious to meet a friend."
"Well who is he?" Sugoruku asked.
"Um…Yin Tyler" Yami replied, nervously.
"Oh, you mean the new boy in your class?"
"Err...yeah." Yami said.
"Alright but don't be long."
He went to his room and grabs something underneath his bed. It was a box. He blew the dust off and coughed. It has been a long while since he had opened it. He took the cover off and saw Yugi's deck card and his millennium puzzle.
Yami always wondered why the latter had never taken the puzzle and the card with him. They were Yugi's most prized possession.
He put them in the bag and went downstairs. He said goodbye to his grandfather and went to the place where he would meet his lighter half.
Yugi bit his bottom lip nervously. He was very nervous of his meeting with Yami. He doesn't know how long since he actually talk with the spirit of the puzzle.
He had managed to convince Sam and the others for not spying on him this time despite the protest form the others.
"I hope he comes…..I really want to talk to him." He murmured.
Yugi was sitting on a bench where it was near the lake. The sight of the lake was beautiful especially at night so it was also quiet.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" said a voice behind him.
Yugi turned around and saw none other than his darker counterpart, Yami.
"Hello hikari…." He said with a small smile.
Yugi smiled back and watches Yami sat beside him. He was carrying his bag and had placed it on his lap.
There was an awkward silence since both did not know what to say.
It was Yami who break the silent. "What did you wanted to talk about?"
Yugi POV
"What did you wanted to talk about?" Yami asked.
I looked at him as he asked me. I wanted to talk to him of many things and probably ….asked him to forgive me but I couldn't. I decided to ask him of grandpa instead.
"How's grandpa?" I asked.
"He's fine." Yami replied.
"Ryou…told me that…." I stopped because I couldn't find the right word but I did anyways. "That grandpa was very ill while I was…..away."
He looks at me sadly and nodded sadly. "Yes, he did. His heart couldn't take the grief of losing his only grandson. That's why he was admitted at the hospital."
"The hospital?" I asked, shocked.
"Yes. The doctors said that if grandpa continues to be like this, he might….." he bit his lower lip. He didn't want to continue nor did I want him too.
"How did he recover?"
"I was at his side all the time telling him that you will come back one day and that….."
"That what?" I asked.
"That you will also forgive us for what we have done to you." Yami said finally.
I looked down at my hand. Forgiving them was really hard but asking them to forgive me was even harder. They were wrong to me but I was also wrong as well….
Which was right and which was wrong?
"Yami, I…..I forgive you what you've done to me." I whispered.
Yami smiled. "Thank you, aibou."
"If only if you forgive me as well." I finished.
"Forgive you? You did nothing wrong." Yami asked, confused.
"I did do wrong things. Like running away, causing grandpa to fall ill and wants revenge to."
Yami was silent for the moment. "I had forgiven you a long time ago. I was the one that made you ran away and cause you're pain."
"So I guess we both were wrong." I replied.
"I suppose so." He chuckled.
We didn't say anything more. I glanced at my watch and realized how late it was.
"Oh no…" I groaned.
"What?" he asked surprised.
"It's getting late and I promised Cleo I'll be back before 7. Now its already 7.20!"
"Cleo? As if in, Cleo Classic? Our history teacher?" Yami asked.
"Yes." I replied.
"Wait a minute; you're living with our history teacher?"
"Well I'm not the only one."
"Who else?" Yami asked.
"Err. Well…" I didn't dare tell because if I did, our cover is blown! But then…
"I'm very sorry, Yami. I can't tell you." I whispered.
"Why?"
"Because if you get involved…" I looked at him sadly. "You and those around you will get hurt."
Yami looked shocked. "Yugi, what do you mean? I don't understand."
"It's too complicated, Yami. I promise I'll tell you….when the time is right."
He looks at me before nodding. "Alright."
"Thank you." I said while getting up. "I'll see you tomorrow, Yami."
"Wait a moment! I want to give you this…"He muttered while rummaging through his bag.
I watched as his pull out familiar looking cards and…
"My millennium puzzle!"
I took the puzzle and traced the eye. It been so long since I've had the millennium puzzle.
"You left it along with your deck. Why?"
"Because …It isn't mined anymore." I held out the millennium puzzle. "It's yours, Yami, along with the cards"
He shakes his head. "You're wrong, aibou. This may have been mine but it is now yours." He smiled as he handed me the cards. "Along with the deck cards too."
I bit my bottom lip and smiled at him with gladness. "Thank you. I'll treasure it."
I wore the millennium puzzle around my neck and placed the card in my trench coat.
"Goodbye Yami. See you at school."
I walk away but look behind me and saw Yami going home too.
"Someday Yami….I'll be going home too." I whispered.
