Authors Note: I UPDATED AGAIN! Read, read, read!!! I don't own Yugioh
Chapter 4: Practice makes perfect

After coming back from visiting grandpa at the hospital, Yugi flopped himself down onto the living room couch exhausted and not to mention depressed. It was the same every time, he and Yami along with his friends would go and visit grandpa, when he came home he felt like.like shit. Seeing grandpa lay in the bed unmoving, his soft breathing, pale and sickly skin broke his heart. The young male groaned loudly rolling onto his side, that wave of sadness hitting him again.

"If you're tired why don't you go and lay down in your bed Yugi. Its late."

Yugi mentally sighed looking up at his older half who was seating himself beside his sprawled out form. Sitting himself up a bit Yugi studied Yami closely taking in every detail. He was working way too hard; there was a tired look to his blood red eyes that always burned with determination and confidence. His spiky hair didn't shine the brilliant shades of black, red and gold the way it used to and Yugi missed that. His small hand reached out to stroke the soft spikes in loving strokes but pulled it back, dropping his hand back to him. It hurt to see his Darkness look so stressed and hopeless, it just wasn't the Yami he knew anymore. Yugi lowered his eyes, guilt pounding at his consciousness in tremendous waves.

" I'm not tired. You should get some rest too you really need it. Besides we both have school tomorrow." Yugi said softly a worried look on his face.

" I dropped out Yugi."

His sad expression was immediately replaced with one of absolute shock. Had he just heard what he just thought he heard?

" You what?" The words could barely past Yugis lips.

" I dropped out, I needed to take up another job to keep this roof over our heads Yugi. I had to do it okay." Yami closed his eyes as he rubbed his temples trying to rid himself of the on coming headache.

" Why didn't you tell me I would have-"

" Yugi, don't worry I'm gonna take care of everything."

" Yami, I can help you. I'm worried about you."

Yami turned his head slowly his red eyes looking straight into those bright pools of lavender.

" I'm fine Yugi, there's no need to be worried. You have school tomorrow you should be getting your rest. Last thing I need is your teacher calling home and telling me your grades are dropping, I have enough trouble as it is."

" Yami if you keep going on like this up your gonna end up sick just like grandpa!"

Yugi raised his voice angry that Yami was being stubborn and hard headed with him. Yugi couldn't bear losing another one he loved, not like he lost his parents and he feared he would lose grandpa too. He refused for it to happen again.

" You need to rest give yourself a break Yami! Working day and night like this isn't good for you."

Yami looked back at his aibou a hard and serious expression written across his creamy features as his red eyes narrowed.

" You will listen to me and do not speak back. Now go to bed." With that the darker half rose from the couch picking up his leather jacket from the arm of the chair and putting it on.

" Where are you going?" Yugi asked his voice soft but firm.

" I'm going to work." He didn't spare a glance over his shoulder at his aibou as he opened the door to leave. If he did he would have saw the tears that threatened to fall from his lights lavender eyes.

" You act like your going through this alone Yami! I'm worried about grandpa too. I can help, I can get a job-" Yugi's words were cut off as Yami turned around with burning red eyes.

" You will not get a job you will focus on school! That's whats important Yugi!" The former kings voice boomed into the small living room area, Yugi slightly flinching at its loudness.

" But I want to help-" His small form whispered to his darker half, who stood towering over him a good 8 inches.

" You want to help? Go to school that's how your gonna help me." The tone was firm and harsh leaving no room for back talk or objections. When Yugi made no move to counter his words, he turned around again walking out the door. Before he fully walked away he paused turning back to his light, with his head lowered, blond bangs falling in his cherubic face. " There's some leftovers in the fridge if want them. I'm not hungry so you can have it. Goodnight Yugi." Yami looked Yugi over for a moment before walking off again. When Yami was out of sight Yugi locked the door behind him, his small form resting against the door. A sad sigh escaped his lips feeling useless as well as depressed.

" Oh grandpa.." Yugi stood up from the door walking straight to his room where he plugged in his radio and searched for the tape Hasina had gave him.

" Where is it?" Yugi rummaged through his pants pockets and desk drawers coming up with nothing. Now more than ever Yugi was convinced he had to do this he had to help Yami and grandpa out. The small angel refused to sit around and watch his life fall apart especially when he knew he could make a diffrence. Yugi quickly ran from his room searching the jacket he wore to lunch just a few days ago, where he knew the tape difinately was. .

" Found ya!" With a triumphant smile Yugi ran upstairs and popped it into his radio pressing play. When the song began, Yugi got up from his bed begining his dance. He recalled how Hasina's hips moved, in sync and in tune with the rhythm just smooth. Taking it in small steps he slowly swayed his hips side to side with the easygoing music his body flowing naturally to the beat. Once he was rocking to the beat he moved his hands up and down his body the way Hasina had showed him too, a blush coming to his cheeks as he did. It wasn't everyday he danced like this; well Yugi couldn't remember the last time he actually danced. But he knew how to at least a little, from watching music videos on T.V and the energetic kids at school.

One thing Yugi knew about dancing was that it wasn't easy, and to be good at it takes a lot of practice. So every night for a week, Yugi came home and danced his ass off. He either played the tape Hasina gave him or found any random radio station and danced to it. From Rock to Reggae, Yugi grooved to it, didn't matter what it was. He tried out all different types of tempos and beats, every one fun to move too. He even borrowed books from the library on how to dance; he was determined to learn everything. So that Saturday Yugi danced as he cleaned the whole house, hips shaking, body grooving to the sweet R&B beat that pumped from the speakers. Yugi was so caught up in the moment he didn't hear the door open or notice two people walk in.

" Yugi?"

Yugi twirled around, broom clenched in his hand like a microphone, as he faced he puzzled Yami and grinning Tygris.

" I see your practicing." Tygris smiled brightly golden yellow eyes gleaming.
