A/N: Thought of this chapter at school. While searching for a place to park...and finding none...and worrying over parking ticket *glares at meter-maid*. So yes. Is venty-chapter. Small trickles of stories are coming to you, faithful readers, whilst I take my "away time" which isn't really away time... Ooh, and I was re-inspired to write the rest of this chapter by Llyxius' story, "One Week". *huggles Llyxius* I looooove that story! ^^



Yami Yugi Moves Out! Chapter Ten

SEPTEMBER 27:

Have had it. There is no more room for me on buses; or rather, no more room for buses in my life. Just who came up with them anyway? Is a stupid idea. Stick a bunch of people with odd, foreign diseases onto one sticky, smelly dangerous 10-ton hunk of metal and send it careening on four very-bald tires?

No. Not for me. Already died once, thanks.

Maybe I should explain.

There was a storm last night, lots of rain and flashing lights, a bit like Joey's birthday party last year when Tristan accidentally busted the waterpipes in Joey's basement.... Anyway, apparently this storm made my alarm clock die. And Edith's, too. Woke up to her screaming, "Wake up, Yami! WAKE UP! THERE'S A BLACK-OUT! YOU'LL BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!"

So jumped up, stripped down, pulled clothes on, and took off. Had to chase the bus. Got on, realized I wasn't wearing shoes when I stepped in puddle of nearly-dried Pepsi. The day just got worse and worse....

Vented to Good Class. And then was struck with idea. Yugi doesn't take the bus anymore; he doesn't walk, either. He has a 'Driver License' and a car that Grandpa found for him at high school graduation.

So am going to Yugi's house after he's gone to Joey's to play poker (which he always does on Tuesdays and Thursdays); will retrieve keys, car, and license.



SEPTEMBER 28:

Plan was a success. Had to drug Tristan, who was at Yugi's house-alone-for Ra-knows-what-reason. Didn't really want to ask; Tristan was running around in only his underwear...highly suspicious.

Anyway, after drugging Tristan with sleeping pills, which I'd cleverly disguised in a glass of orange juice, I searched Yugi's room for his wallet. Since my aibou isn't stupid enough to actually bring money to a poker game.

Was right; he left his wallet, and Joey lives close enough that he just walked, so the keys and car were at my disposal. Took his license and keys, then had trouble finding the right car. Attempted to unlock several of the neighbors' vehicles before finding Yugi's ugly green machine.

Rust has eaten the passenger-side floor. Is frightening, but a convenience I suppose. Can take Malik for a ride and stuff him through the hole, then run over him. Or maybe Seto Kaiba...supposing he'd allow himself to be in a "rust bucket" as Yugi's named this car.

At school, I will now have my own parking space. Because I'm a History Professor. And you're not.

Is nice to feel smug again.



SEPTEMBER 29:

Am stopped at a red light. Sitting behind garbage truck, with my windows rolled down to keep self from getting heat cramps. Pants are sticking to the seat. Am beginning to get fidgety.

Ah, green light.

(At school now, in Yugi's car)

Parking space has been taken. Parking lot is full. No, correction, all *twenty four* lots are full. Have been driving around for forty minutes, and class is about to start. I won't be able to dock points from tardy students. I won't be able to eat my muffin and smirk at breakfast-deprived students. I won't even be able to give out pop quiz.

Am just going to sit here in the car hoping every person walking around is going to leave this accursed school.

...Found and then lost another spot. Had been sitting there, and some speed demon in much-faster, much-sleeker silver car sped in and took the spot. Must be more aggressive.

...Have found an unlocked car. Set it to "N", which Tristan told me is "neutral" and releases the brakes, and then pushed the car back. Set it to "P" for "Park", and then set Yugi's car in its place. Is a very nice place. Under a willow tree, near a small creek that I never knew was on campus. Is temptation for sweaty students; go to class...no, don't go to class, go swimming....

...Will take a break to go swimming. Class later.



Later:

Had thought to go out for lunch, but am hesitant. What if I lose my spot? ...Unless I find another unlocked car, that is.

Yes. Will go out to eat.



After eating at Dee's

Success! No need to break into anyone else's car, either. Found empty space near Student Building. Strange that no one has taken it yet....



After School:

...Found funny piece of paper on windshield, trapped under wiper blade. Will ask Yugi about it later. He's been calling my cell phone an awful lot today. Should learn how to check voice mail; will ask Edith when I get home.



Further A/N: I know, I know, there's more words from Pachelbel than actual story. It's a small update...but be happy...and review...with ideas ~.^
