Chapter Five: Tempest
The soft light of the sun began to filter into the room banishing the darkness of night and replacing it with the warm tones of daylight.
The light paused at a smiling face sitting next to a makeshift bed, the figure in rectangular bed slept soundly unaware of the presence watching him sleep.
Yugi sat patiently with his legs crossed watching Yami's chest rise and fall with each soft breath. Yugi stared at Yami, lost in the delicate features that encompassed his beautiful visage.
[Why won't you tell me what's wrong Yami, I want to help you so badly, but every time I try, you push me away. What are you so afraid of? I want to protect you Yami. Why won't you let me?] Yugi sighed as he continued to keep watch on his beautiful stranger.
[I wish I knew more about you Yami. You are such a mystery to me, yet, I feel like I've known you all of my life. You are the first person I have ever told about the bullies at school.]
Yugi brought one of his hands to the side of Yami's face, and caressed the delicate skin he found there. [Why won't you let me in Yami?] Yugi thought to himself and as if on cue, Yami's eyelids slowly rose to unveil crimson orbs.
Yugi froze the color in his cheeks rising rapidly almost as fast as his heart rate. Yami blinked a couple of times not really understanding what was going on. [Yugi?] Yami thought unmoving, too shocked to do much of anything.
Then suddenly it dawned on Yugi that he was still holding Yami's cheek in his hand. Yugi quickly retracted the offending appendage and blushed furiously as Yami brought his own hand to touch where the warmth of Yugi's hand lingered, his eyes still blinking rapidly.
"Uh, Grandpa told me to wake you up its almost twelve o clock." Yugi got up from his spot on the floor and walked to the door.
"I'll let you get dressed, I'll be waiting for you downstairs." Yugi added as he quickly exited the door closing it behind him.
Yami sat there still in shock of what had just happened. "What. who? I'm confused." Yami spoke to himself as he brought his hand from his cheek and examined it as if the warmth was tangible.
[His hand was so soft, and so warm.] Yami thought as he looked over to the door where Yugi was standing just moments before.
[I better get dressed. Yugi's waiting for me.] Yami thought as he rose out of his bed and entered the bathroom to take a shower.
Meanwhile downstairs, Yugi sat on the couch quietly by himself. [How could I have been so stupid! Why did I do that? He probably thinks I'm some kind of pervert now. Great. How could I have been so stupid!] Yugi mentally reprimanded himself for his actions upstairs.
"What's wrong Yugi you look upset." Sugoroku walked over to his grandson and handed him a glass of cold water.
"Oh, Hey grandpa." Yugi stated quietly, not really feeling like being bothered at the moment. "I'm fine, I was just thinking." Yugi decided on leaving out the part about the incident upstairs.
"Oh, well what are you planning on doing today? I hear they are having some kind of event at the arcade." Sugoroku stated as he too sat down, onto the comfortable recliner next to the couch.
"Hey, that sounds like a great idea, I'm sure Yami will love it! Thanks grandpa!" Yugi got up from his seat from the couch and hugged his grandfather.
"Well your welcome my boy Here." Sugoroku took out some money from his wallet and handed it to Yugi. "Take this, have fun all day if you want to, it'll be good for you, both of you." Sugoroku smiled.
"Thanks grandpa." Yugi got up from hugging his grandfather to see Yami coming down the stairs. Yugi starred as Yami slowly walked down the steps. He wore his usual black leather pants, only this time he wore one of Yugi's dark red tank tops.
"Hope you don't mind I borrowed one of your shirts." Yami stated; as he looked down at the shirt he was wearing, Yugi was still looking Yami over.
The shirt was slightly tighter on Yami than it would have been on Yugi but he couldn't help but stare at Yami's muscular and tone body was complimented by the dark hue.
"No. I don't mind." Yugi stated as he continued to look at Yami, when he finally reached Yami's face he quickly turned away trying to hide his blushing.
"What?" Yami asked as he looked behind him to see if anything was there.
"Oh, Its n-nothing." Yugi stated slightly stammering. Yugi turned back around and faced Yami who had now reached the bottom of the steps and was looking at Yugi oddly.
"Hey Yami would you like to go to the arcade with me? Grandpa told me they are having some kind of event over there." Yugi smiled at Yami once again. [He looks really good in that shirt.hum. What am I thinking!] Yugi was silent for a moment as he tried to gather his thoughts.
"Sure. That would be great." Yami stated, waiting for Yugi to reply. Yami watched as Yugi was lost in thought.
"Yugi?" Yami stated again more loudly than before.
"Huh? Oh! sorry. I kinda go lost there.heh" Yugi laughed nervously.
"Well lets go then!" Yugi grabbed Yami's hand and dragged him to the door. "Bye Grandpa see you later!!!" Yugi and Yami walked down the sidewalk to the arcade, which was not very far from the Motou residence.
Yami looked down at Yugi and quickly turned away when Yugi noticed him starring. They continued this way as they walked down the street
Yugi turned to Yami as if to ask a question then quickly turned away and starred at the pavement.
[Why do I feel so nervous around him now. great. he's going to notice and think something's wrong.] Yugi sighed, as he looked up to notice that there was indeed some kind of commotion at the arcade.
"Look Yami. Wonder what that is." Yugi quickened his pace dragging Yami right along with him. As they arrived at the arcade they saw that there was a big tent pitched up right at the entrance, and some guy was standing on a platform yelling into a microphone.
The man on the platform had short spiked hair that was deep red in hue with bleached blonde tips. His eyes were green in color and he stood 6 foot one in height. He wore a yellow tank top underneath a black leather jacket and looked as if he worked out often. Black pants and large boots complimented the ensemble along with two black bands around his biceps.
"Come on everyone!! Gather round! Anyone up for a challenge? Beat me in a game of pool and you can play games at my dad's arcade all day for FREE!!!! That's right you heard me!!! FREE!!!" the man had an evil smirk on his face as he continued to yell in the loudspeaker while the people around him whispered amongst themselves.
Yugi walked up to the platform with Yami trailing behind, and saw that there was a pool table set up beside the platform and the people were all gathered around it.
Yami's eyes widened as he recognized the man on the platform, Yugi noticed and tugged on Yami's sleeve.
"Yami what's wrong?" Yugi asked looking up at Yami who looked down from staring at the man whom standing on the podium.
"Nothing. its nothing Yugi.." Yami smiled as someone from the crowd spoke once again. Yugi turned from facing Yami to where the voice had come from.
"This guys a genius no one can beat him! That was the hundredth guy today that he's pulverized." One guy spoke as he watched the man continue to speak over the microphone.
Yugi leaned over the railing that was surrounding the platform and the pool table to see a teenager being dragged away by two security guys.
"YOU CHEATED!!! I KNOW YOU DID!!!!! LET GO OF ME!! I SHOULD HAVE WON!!!!!!" the man yelled as he was dragged away by security.
"OH don't be a sore loser Bandit Keith, I didn't cheat. I'm Vash the intercontinental pool champion. Heh. No one can beat me. But if you do you can play in my dad's arcade all day for free!! But you have to beat me first, that's highly unlikely. So who's the next victim?"
The man mocked as he surveyed the audience glaring at the most daring of the group who soon coward away. Most them were looking another way, kicking the ground that had become really interesting or scratching the backs of their heads in embarrassment.
Yami watched as a teenager nervously raised his hand up high while the people around him quickly made a pathway for the announcer to see him.
"Ahh, finally someone with some guts. well now. step up to the plate my man and show me what your made of." The announcer spoke as the young teenager entered the closed off section and slowly made his way through the crowd, and stood next to the pool table.
Yami and Yugi watched as the man on the platform jumped down from the platform to the top of the pool table and spoke again.
"This little weakling here thinks he can beat me! We shall see." The man sneered as he looked over to the nervous teen who looked like a scared deer caught in the headlights of a car on a road.
Yami's hands were beginning to slightly shake as he watched the man with the microphone. Yugi's eyes traveled from staring at the scared young teen to Yami, whose face was pale as snow and his eyes, were wide. Yugi recognized that the expression that Yami held now was exactly like when Yami had told him not to take him to the hospital.
The man jumped off the pool table and walked up to the young teen challenger.
"So what's your name my little victim, I mean challenger." Vash grinned as the young teen's eyes grew wide and started to look around for an escape route.
"I. Uh.I." the young teen stammered as he continued to look around. Finding that there was no exit. He stopped and looked straight at Vash.
"Tommy. My name is Tommy." The teen said a little too quickly, his voice barely audible.
"Well, uh.. Tommy. If you don't mind.. I will break." Vash smiled as he stared into Tommy's eyes and walked back to the other side of the pool table.
"Here you go! Let the game begin." Vash stated as he threw Tommy a pool cue and set up the balls on the table.
"Now don't feel bad if you don't win Tommy, I am the champion of pool after all, at least you had the guts to actually try unlike most people here." Vash hissed as he looked at the crowd, his eyes landing on Yami.
Vash grinned and winked at Yami, looking Yami up and down. Yami eyes widened even more as he took a small step back. Yugi caught the exchange of looks. [I wonder what is wrong with Yami, is looking at that guy like that. maybe he knows him.] Yugi thought to himself as Vash continued his game of pool.
Vash hit the white ball with a force that scattered the colorful triangle of balls sending them in all directions getting the striped 4 and 2 into the pockets.
"Well would you look at that! I get to go again." Vash smirked as the young teen stood there motionless gripping the cue so tightly in his hands his knuckles were turning white. Vash aimed his cue once again and hit 3 more balls into their respective pockets, the audience were still in awe. In his third turn, Vash missed the 6 striped and sighed.
"O well. Your turn Tommy-boy." Vash turned around to look at the petrified Tommy who stood there starring at the pool table trembling.
"I.I." Tommy looked up at Vash who smiled.
Yugi stared as Tommy made his way over to where the white ball was located. He aimed his cue but Vash walked over to him and began to speak.
"You can't beat me you know. No one can. You might as well give up while you still can." Vash grinned as he pat Tommy hard on the back.
Tommy hit the white ball and sent it rolling. unfortunately in the wrong direction. The game continued with Vash sending all his balls into the pocket leaving an awestruck Tommy starring at the pool table. Looking. lost.
"Thank you for trying." Vash grinned as the two security guards from earlier came out of nowhere. They each grabbed one of Tommy's arms and hauled him out of the small arena.
"So Yami, are you going to say hi to me or are you going to keep lurking in the shadows?" Vash turned to face Yami with a huge grin on his face as he licked his lips.
"Yami do you know him?" Yugi asked as he looked away from Vash to Yami who was slowly stepping backward.
"I. I." Yami stammered as he stared at Vash who was slowly walking foreword matching every step Yami took.
Yugi noticed Yami's scared look and stepped in between the two halting Vash's advance and Yami's retreat. [I completely forgot that Yugi was here.] Yami thought as he looked down at Yugi.
"Ahh who's this? You little protector Yami?" Vash laughed as he pointed to Yugi.
"Hey! I'm not little!" Yugi yelled at Vash who looked at Yugi quizzically.
"Woah, your little friend is either very brave. or very stupid." Vash pushed Yugi aside roughly causing him to hit the ground with a thud.
"Yugi!" Yami quickly tried to run to Yugi and helped him up but Vash managed to garb Yami's right arm and yank him back close to him.
" So where HAVE you been Yami? I've been looking all over for you." Vash smiled as he raised his other hand to ouch Yami's left cheek.
Yami quickly swatted away the offending hand and began to struggle to get loose.
"So you're going to struggle now? That's a change. it won't matter though." Vash pulled Yami closer.
Yugi seeing that Vash was distracted quickly picked up an unused pole for the tent used to cover the pool table and silently walked over to where Yami and Vash were standing.
"So Yami, where have you been hiding? I missed playing with you."Vash grinned as Yami began to struggle once more.
Yami finally noticed Yugi standing behind Vash. Yugi was slowly raising the pole above his head, ready to strike. Yami began to grin.
"Why are you smiling!" Vash yelled at Yami who only grinned wider.
Suddenly Yugi brought down the giant pole with a thud, right onto Vash's head who instantly let go of Yami and toppled to the floor.
Yami jumped out of the way just in time and landed next to Yugi who was laughing.
The whole crowd of spectators began to cheer and dance around. Suddenly one spectator noticed that a couple of the pool balls had all fallen to the pockets as Vash's pool que hit the floor.
One of them picked up the wooden que and noticed a small black button located near the grip. He pressed it and the rest of the balls found their way into the pockets.
"HEY!! HE WAS A CHEETER!!" The boy yelled.
All the spectators began to yell in anger and began to destroy the tent and the pool table.
"Lets make him feel the way he made us feel!" One shouted.
"Yeah!!" a couple more people replied. Then all of a sudden out of nowhere a chocolate shake went flying though the air and landed right onto the fallen Vash's head.
As soon as the first shake flew more pieces of food went flying and landed on Vash. Soon there was a frenzy of flying food as the crowd found things to throw at Vash who was laying unconscious on the ground.
Then someone wrote down "Through some food at the Dirty cheater" on a piece of cardboard and placed it next to Vash's body. Soon more food was flying at him who now only appeared as a large compost heap.
"Serves him right to try and hurt my Yami." Yugi stated happily and smiled until he realized what he just said.
Yugi began to blush and quickly averted his gaze from Yami who only smiled and began to laugh.
Yugi heard Yami's laughter and turned around to see him smiling, and began laughing himself.
"Come on Yami I think I've lost my appetite for the arcade we can find something better to do at home." Yugi smiled and began to walk toward home when he felt something touch his hand.
Yugi looked down to see Yami's hand intertwined with his own. He looked back up to see Yami smiling Yugi blushed slightly and the two continued to walk home together.
Oy! I almost forgot I've got a favor to ask all my lovely reviews. I need you guys to read "My secret love, my eternal darkness" fic. I need reviews!! I've only got two! T.T It's depressing me!
