CHAPTER 3 IS HERE!
PCrystals: Back again! Lets count to ten!
Yami: Uhhh how bout not!
Yugi: seriously. Waking up to go somewhere fun is one thing but waken us up at five to write the dumb story! Ahh!
Serena: I know. She could at least have common curtsey!
PCrystals: Oh well! Time for Part Three. It's called: One Lie too Many
ONE LIE TOO MANY
"Tea? Tea? Are you alright" Yugi asks after first period.
"Tell him the truth! Tell him NO" Tea tells herself. "Yes Yugi. Everything's fine. Yami's fine, I'm fine, your fine! We're all fine" She glues on her fake smile and heads to gym class. "Lucky for me drama runs in the family" She kids herself.
"Ms. Gardener, I see you have signed up for the charity run." Miss. Anderson smiles.
"Yes Maim." Tea nods.
"Who else here has signed up" The teacher asks twenty other girls in Tea's gym period. No one raised their hands.
"No one! NO ONE! Is Tea the only one? That's sad." She sighs. "Well best of luck to you, Tea." The teacher nods.
"Thank you." Tea bows her head as she received many odd and envying looks from the other girls. The girls gym period went about as normal as possible, they had a conditioning session for the hour they were there.
The solid yellow stone walls were the same as they always were. The misty smell and taste still stayed the same and darkness drifted in the air. Yami once again sat in the corner of his soul room staying as quiet as possible. No body said Pharaohs had to be strong all the time, right? His head was held by his arms which rested on his knees that he hugged close to his waist as he cried in silence. Was this what was to be? Him always crying? He didn't know himself, but for now he wouldn't think of anything else right now but him crying, he would have other people to think about later. "Why" He whispers low, though his voice echoes through the many, still not explored, chambers of the Pharaohs pyramid. "Why do I cry? Is there some unexplainable reason? Am I too worried about too many things" He wipes his eyes and stands up dusting himself off. He took a quick glance around the room being sure he didn't leave anything laying behind as he had before and having that risk of Yugi seeing it. He hoped Yugi would never find his secret. The last sorrowful slow tear fell down his face and faded as it reached his chin. Suddenly his knees buckled and he fell to the ground. Carefully picking himself up again he saw a small trickle of blood fall from his elbow as a reaction from his bare skin hitting the hard cinderblock ground. He felt somewhat relived as he watched the blood fall, slowly and satisfying his need for another color. Still, numb to the pain, he carefully wiped it and cleaned it slowly wiping it on his pants as he made his way out of his soul room and walked into Yugi's.
He sat on a small carpet in the middle of the young boys room and stared around. The surroundings had changed. The air was cleaner and smelled of fresh flowers instead of misty darkness and stale walls. He stared at the small child's play toys as he named each one and when Yugi had used them. He knew, none of them had been played with for many years but he did know Yugi often recalled playing with them when Yami was in control. Yugi would recall the past life of his that usually, if it weren't for Yami, he would've forgotten. The times he had spent with his parents before they died, the times he was with his Grandpa before he began school. But something caught Yami's eyes that he had never seen there before. He walked across the room, avoiding the many misfit toys, and bent over reaching under the bed and pulling a small dark blue note- book. He passed it between his hands many times and finally looked at it's cover. It read: Yugi's Journal. Journal? Yami thought, I didn't know Yugi kept a journal! He brought it back to the black mat in the middle of the room and sat down with it. He slowly opened to the middle and began to read an old faded page of the small book.
Entry: 94
Dear Journal, What am I to do? Yami has taken over and I am here once again to remember my past. Unfortunately I really don't want to see any of these things in here. They bring back so many memories. Some good, most bad. Things I always had wanted to forget. But now that Yami's here I don't have a choice, I'd die of boredom if I only sat here staring at the walls of my soul room. I actually envy the Spirit of the puzzle. Why you ask? He is always the one who wins, the one who gets the title, the one whose strong, fearless and unbeatable person. He always makes the girls fall over, ask me how I know this, I have my reasons. He stole Tea's heart, she told me today she developed feelings for him and asked me if that was ok. Of course I said it was OK. It's her feelings, not mine. Though I wish she would see me in the light she sees him. But he's taller, more masculine, and cooler than me. If only he knew my past. If only he understood the pain I go through every time I'm in this dumb soul room.
Yami closed the small blue book and just stared at it. In disbelief that his Hikari could be so dark and in sadness because his Hikari had feelings he never showed and lies her always held to himself. He decided he was going to talk to him later. He was going to try his best to understand Yugi better, ask questions, BUT not mention anything about the little book. Of course he wouldn't want Yugi finding out that he had read his journal, if anyone including Yugi had ever read his, and he did keep one, he would be very upset and feel exposed. He would approach the subject by starting small talk the best he could. For now, he was going to wait for his Hikari to come home and let him out for awhile. (man it sounds like he's a dog!) He got up and quickly put the book back under the bed, where he had found it, and went back to sit on his mat.
"Cant believe we're stuck with Yugi again" Tristan whispers in Joey's ear.
"Shush you asshole! He's smart and he got beat up for us. We're trying to act nice and besides I consider him a friend and a very good one" Joey whispers back.
"WHAT? We're bullies! We beat people up not make friends with them" Tristan rages.
"Well, you may not! But I do. Yuge's a nice kid and really good at duel monsters might I add. But he needs friends! Not people called BACKSTABBERS" Joey shouts loud as the class looks at him.
"Joey? Is something wrong" The small boys eyes look at Joey with concern. His heart skipped a beat with sympathy for the poor kid. He thought Tristan was a true friend but BOY! Was he ever mistaken. Joey hoped he could help Yugi before Tristan hurt him.
"Back to work class" The teacher calls out as she recovers from the sudden outburst. The class had to copy a few notes from the board and amongst their groups they had to conduct an experiment for the science fair. Joey was in a group with Tristan, Yugi and another kid that went by the name of Yukasho. He was tall and thin with blond curls that hung slightly in his eyes. His deep blue eyes made the girls loose their breath, he was also on the track team for the school. He was fairly smart and creative.
I'm with my friends at least!, Yugi sighs to himself. He couldn't help but wonder why he couldn't have chose to sit with Tea today. He hadn't known they were going to be preparing their groups for the science fair. He glanced around the room searching for Tea. When he finally spotted her he sighs with relief. Her group was made of a bunch of girls she knew from her dance class and she was smiling, that's all that mattered to him. Yugi looked at each girls face thinking them by name. There was Tea, and going counter- clock wise he named them all. There was Janie, Tanya, Serena, and Mao. Janie was short and petite, much like himself, with long auburn waist length hair and dark blue eyes. Her bangs fell in her face and hid those eyes that so many boys love. Tanya was tall and lanky with short, choppy, thin blond hair, her neck was long and she was skinny. Her eyes were dark violet making her face seem pale and chubby, not like the rest of her body. Then, there was Serena. Serena was tall and thin, with a very attractive figure and a beautiful face. You never would have known about her past even if you talked to her. Her thigh length blond hair with black tips was thick and luxuriously soft and beautiful, her face was perfect and her cerulean eyes sparkled even when her bangs hung in her face. Mao. Mao was short and chubby with brown chin length hair and a chubby face. She wasn't very attractive but she had a nice personality. Hopefully Tea was doing good on her project, unlike him, who was sitting and day dreaming about girls! There's a change! Usually that's Tristan, Yugi would never do that. He wondered why he was just then. He shrugged it off and concentrated on the science fair project he had to do in less them a month.
"Hey, Yugi what are you doing" Tea asks as they walk home. "Yugi! YUGI" Tea asks. "Are you there"
"Uh? What? Oh sorry Tea. I was thinking." Yugi says showing no emotion at all.
"About what"
"I don't really even know." Yugi shrugs.
"Well, OK, but I have to go. I have dance tonight. I'll see Ya tomorrow"
"Bye, Tea." Yugi waves.
"Bye." And with that Tea runs off turning down the street towards the Dance Studio. Leaving Yugi standing in her dust feeling lonely and tired. He sighs hard and continues his walk home.
"Good day Yugi" Grandpa greets him.
"Hi, Grandpa." Yugi smiles. He takes off his sneakers in the hallway and heads toward the stair not even glancing at his Grandfather.
"Long day" Grandpa asks standing at the Shops counter.
Tell him, Yugi. Tell him it was long! Maybe he can help, Yugi urges himself inside his head. "No Grandpa. My day was fine" Yugi nods as he heads up the steps.
He opens his wooden door and shuts it closed behind him. He throws his back pack down on his desk, allowing the few papers to scatter as it hits the surfaces. He bounces on his bed and closes his eyes, retreating to his soul room.
Once in the hallway between his own soul room and Yami's he sighs and slowly walks into his own. "Hello, Yugi." Yami greets him.
"Hi Yami." Yugi smiles as he walks over to his bed and sits on it making himself comfortable. "Whats up"
"Nothing. Just been waiting for you." The Spirit smiles. To Yugi it didn't seem like a real smile, it seemed like one he placed on his face to make Yugi think he was fine. Yugi shrugged it off and looked at his other half waiting.
"Oh, sorry to keep you waiting."
"That's alright." Yami nods with a wave of his hand.
"Why were you waiting for me" Yugi asks tilting his head to the side as his heart began to pound in his chest.
'' Yugi" Yami starts. Yugi's heart feels like it's pounding it's way into his throat when he heard the next words. "Yugi, we need to talk." The Pharaohs face was straight, un-sarcastic and emotionless. He was serious, Yugi thought. I wonder what's wrong?
