Chaki: Hello! Welcome to the much-anticipated second chapter of Shiroi no Kokoro, Ganjou no Kokoro! Sorry it took so long, was in read-only mode for the past few days, which is when Ihappenedto finish writing...Oh well, its up now!Just a note, when Mr. Motor laughs later on in this chapter it does NOT sound like Santa Claus, ok? Now lets get started!

-♥-

It had been a week since Daisuke Niwa joined Yugi Motou and his friends. They had gotten really close, for some un-explainable reason. Yugi could sense that him and Daisuke were going through the same troubles, each feeling each other's pain. He didn't say anything, however, because he was afraid: afraid that he was right.

Finally! Spring Break! Yugi Motou though, as he ate lunch with his friends on the last Friday before he had a whole week to relax, and forget his worries. Jonouchi was gulfing down his food, occasionally stopping and coughing harshly. It was Anzu who broke the silence while they were eating.

"So, what is everybody doing next week?" Anzu said, resting her chopsticks on top of her lunch box.

"Well," Yugi said, "I'm not sure. I promised Grandpa that I'd help out at the store, and then I promised Kaiba that I'd duel him and…"

"Kaiba!" Jonouchi interrupted. "Why the hell would you wanna hang around with him? He's a f…"

"Yea, we all know what you think of him Jonouchi…" Anzu said, stopping Jonouchi before he threw a fit. "Let Yugi continue."

"And, well…that's it really." Yugi finished.

"I'm going to see Shizuka, she's dragging me to Kaibaman again…" Jonouchi sighed.

"What! Jonouchi seeing Kaibaman!" Honda blurted out.

"It gets worse, this is my 15th time." Jonouchi said, as Honda and Otogi laughed hysterically. Jonouchi ignored them and continued. "It wouldn't be that bad, except she sits with Kaiba the whole time, and I dunno…It's a load of BS, really…" Jonouchi went back to eating.

"Honda, Otogi, since you two are enjoying yourself so much…why don't you tell us what your doing?" Anzu asked, as Honda and Otogi suddenly froze.

"Uh well you see…We're going to see Shi…" Honda started, but Otogi stomped hard on his foot. "Damn! What was that for?" Honda shouted.

"We're going to see Honda's sick aunt." Otogi said coolly.

"Oh really…?" Anzu said.

"Yea, poor sick auntie…" Honda added in sarcastically, and pretending to wipe a tear from his eye.

"And then we're going to the Kai…" This time, it was Honda's turn to slap Otogi hard in the back.

"What he means is that we're going to take Auntie out so she won't get so sick of the hospital all of the time." Honda said convincingly, while Otogi was silently wincing in pain.

"You two better stay away from Shizuka!" Jonouchi shouted. "Or I swear…"

"WHAT?" Honda and Otogi blurted out in unison. "Wh..wh…what ever gave you that idea?" Otogi managed to stammer out, while whispering to Honda "This is all your fault!"

"MY FAULT!" Honda stood up, shouting at Otogi. "You're the bastard that brought up this whole damn mess!"

"Me? Yeah right." Otogi walked away, not wanting to hear anymore of Honda's lame excuses. Honda sat down, enraged, and kept eating his meal.

"Well I'm going to Domino Theme Park!" Anzu shouted with delight. Everybody gasped, while poor Daisuke (who was being ignored this whole time) look confused.

"What's that?" Daisuke asked. He hadn't really been paying attention to the news or anything recently; due to he was still getting over his loss of Dark and trying to move on.

"Idiot! You haven't' heard of the Domino Theme Park? It's like the best in Japan! Where the hell have you been for the last year!" Jonouchi asked, shouting at Daisuke from the other side of the table.

"Jonouchi!" Anzu shouted, standing up from the picnic table that they had been sitting down on. "Don't be so mean to Daisuke! He lived on the other side of Japan for goodness sake!" Anzu was practically shouting at Jonouchi, who was now quietly eating his food. As soon as Anzu turned her attention back to Daisuke and sat down again, Jonouchi shot a piece of his lunch at Anzu, hitting her in the hair. "JONOUCHI!" Anzu screamed, almost knocking the whole picnic table over when she stood up. "YOU GET THE HELL BACK HERE!" Jonouchi had taken off, sprinting towards the safety of the school. Anzu was running behind him, while Yugi and the others were laughing hysterically as Jonouchi was being chased around the schoolyard. Jonouchi beat her inside, and as soon as Anzu was sure that he was gone, she calmly sat down at the table. "What?" She said, brushing off the dirt from her short blue skirt. Suddenly Yugi burst out laughing, and after getting a couple glares from Anzu, everybody gladly joined in.

After school, Yugi and Daisuke were walking home together. "So," Yugi started to say, but he was having a hard time thinking about something else to say due to he wasn't the greatest conversationalist. "Why did you come to Domino? I mean, I'm sure there had to be some reason why you moved…" Yugi looked at Daisuke, who was staring towards the ground with a sad expression in his eyes. Suddenly, Daisuke looked up and smiled.

"Oh, you know. Usual stuff. I just was getting tired of my hometown, and the school system wasn't that good." Daisuke smiled. Yugi liked the way he smiled; it was always so full of hope. If only I could smile like that again…Yugi thought, as his thoughts were brought back to the Pharaoh.

"Well, where did you live before coming here?" Yugi asked in order to keep his thoughts from wandering to the Pharaoh again.

"I lived in Azumano." Daisuke replied.

"Ehhh, really!" Yugi said, getting excited. "Why would you move from there? There are so many cool things in that town!"

"I just, I dunno. After things were getting dangerous…" Daisuke started to say, but was cut off.

"Dangerous? Yea right." Yugi said in disbelief. "I bet I've been in more dangerous situations than you!"

"Name one." Daisuke said smoothly, as if he knew he had already won.

"How can I know if its more dangerous if I don't know something you did?" Yugi said, getting more and more excited by the minnute.

"My mom used to set the house full of traps when I would come home from school everyday until I was around 15!" Daisuke said, getting excited.

"Yea, well I was once playing this card game when my friend was under mind control. We were both attached to a giant anchor that was going to drop into the sea in thirty minutes if one of us didn't win. If we did win though, you only got the key to your chain. And on top of that," Yugi said, as if it weren't enough danger for anybody, "If we tried to break free not only would the anchor fall with both of us attached, a giant dumpster would fall on another of my friends who was trapped in a chair! Oh," Yugi said forgetting one minor detail, "the water was shark infested."

"No way…" Daisuke said in awe. "And I thought that my mom was a pain, who were these people?"

"Well, it was Jonouchi who was under mind control, and Anzu was stuck to the chair."

"Whaaattt? You're kidding me. Who the heck would do this?"

"Some freak show named Malik Ishtar, well, the evil one at least."

"Who?"

"Mal-lik Ish-tar." Yugi said slowly, as if to spell it out for Daisuke. "He was a rare hunter. Well, until I beat him and got rid of his dark side."

"How can you get rid of someone's dark side?" Daisuke asked, hoping that one day he could return home and help Satoshi with getting rid of Krad.

"Well, it wasn't me. It was his own fault, I mean, its not like I can warp people to the shadow realm or anything…"

"Shadow realm?" Daisuke asked yet another question, being overwhelmed about all of the secrets this boy seemed to hold.

"Yea, it's the place were lost souls go. Don't get me wrong," Yugi said just incase Daisuke didn't understand, "its not a happy place. Its like one of those graveyards that are haunted with ghosts and spirits from horror movies."

"Oh," Daisuke said, trying to his best to sound like he knows what Yugi was talking about, even though he had no clue.

"Well," Yugi said as they arrived at the Kame Game Shop's entrance. "Here we are! Do you wanna come in?" Yugi asked Daisuke, who seemed to be enjoying his company.

"Yea, ok."

As the two entered, Daisuke gasped. He had never seen so many trading cards in one place. The walls were lined with them, different booster packs and brands, along with a whole case of the rare ones up front. Behind it, a very old man was standing with a giant welcoming smile on his face.

"Why hello!" He said as Yugi walked right up to the desk. "How was school Yugi? Have a nice day?"

"Yup Grandpa! It was a blast! Oh," Yugi said, as he motioned for Daisuke to come forward. "This is my new friend Daisuke. Daisuke," Yugi said turning to face him. "This is my grandpa."

"Very nice to meet you." Daisuke said, giving a small bow.

"So, what are you two here for?" Mr. Motou asked.

"I dunno," Yugi said. "It'd be great if you could show Daisuke how to play Duel Monsters, I don't think he knows how…" Yugi looked at Daisuke, who was staring at him blankly.

"Ho ho!" Mr. Motou said, laughing. "I'd be glad too!" He said, as he pulled out his own deck and spent the rest of the afternoon trying to teach Daisuke how to play.

It was around seven o'clock when Daisuke finally left. Yugi went up to his room and loaded up his computer. It wasn't anything special, but he had installed a few games on his PC that he would play in his spare time. About halfway through his usual hour of playing, the phone rang. "Yugi!" Yugi heard his grandfather shout from downstairs. "Phone!"

"Hello?" Yugi said as he picked up the phone.

"Oh, hey Yugi, its Anzu." Anzu's voice rang from the receiver.

"Anzu…What's up? Is something wrong?" Yugi asked, since Anzu almost never called him. They would always talk on AIM with each other.

"I was wondering if, umm, if you would like to come to Domino Theme Park with me tomorrow."

"Whaaaattt?" Yugi said in shock. "Really! How did you get tickets? I've heard they're really expensive."

"I won them, at that dance contest I entered awhile back. You remember, right?"

"Yea," Yugi said, even though he didn't remember at all, it was the Pharaoh that went.

"Well, I thought I'd ask you!" Anzu said happily. "So, will you come?"

"Sure! I can't wait!" Yugi said, his face getting redder and redder as he thought about his date with Anzu.

"Ok! I'll see you tomorrow, at ten?"

"Yup! Any time is good for me!"

"Bye bye!" Anzu said as Yugi heard a click from the other end, signaling that she had hung up. Yugi felt the excitement bubbling up from inside of him.

"Y-E-S!" Yugi shouted "I'M GOING ON A DATE WITH ANZU!"

"Yugi!" Mr. Called from downstairs. "Could you keep it down? People are trying to sleep!"

"But Grandpa…" Yugi said in a whinny voice. "I have a date, WITH ANZU!"

"Yugi, Please! KEEP IT DOWN!"

"Yes, Grandpa…."

Chaki: So, did you like it! I sure did! Next chapter is the big date! But will something go wrong that could affect Yugi, forever? I dunno! Just read it when it comes!
