Chapter 3; Dance to the beat of your heart, and Yugi's.
In the dressing room, Yugi was pulling out his costume; Yami was doing the same behind him. The tension was so thick Yami almost couldn't breathe. 'Why was Yugi upset earlier?'
Yugi sighed to himself. 'What if Yami's disgusted with me and wants to leave? Would he really do that? Or would he just laugh at me?'
The hikari's eyes filled with tears. Yami would undoubtedly leave when he told him. He sniffled lightly and continued to pull his costume out his bag.
"Yugi? Are you alright abiou?" Yami asked his light, hearing his sniffs.
"I-I…" Yugi was going to tell him there and then, when Tristan stuck his head in, wearing all black. Nicole had told him he would be assisting Mokuba.
"Show's in half an hour. Yami, you're opening act, you got your music?" he asked, Yami nodded and handed him the CD, told him the track, Tristan nodded and left.
"Sorry Yugi, what were you saying?" asked Yami.
Yugi shook his head, his courage gone, damn Tristan! "N-nothing, it can wait. You might want to get ready, if you're first up."
Yami nodded, and with a heavy heart turned his back on his light to pull his shirt off. He took in a gasp and felt his face burn red as a pair of arms threw themselves round his waist. "Yugi?"
"Dammit, I don't care if you hate me or not Yami. Just don't leave me!"
"Leave you? Now why in the name of Ra would I do a silly thing like that?" Yami frowned, and tried turning around, "Yugi, can you loosen up?" now the clamping of his waist had lifted he turned around. "Now what's been troubling you Yugi? You know you can tell me anything."
"Anything?" Yugi's big teary violet arcs met Yami's crimson orbs.
Yami nodded. Yugi let go of him so he could warm up, Yami stretched his left leg and put his foot to his ear. Yugi went redder still. This was now or never...
"I love you." Yugi mumbled, loud enough for Yami to hear. Yami fell over, landing on the old sofa that was in there with a strangled cry. "Are you ok?"
Yami sat up, finding nothing had broken. "I'm fine abiou, it's just not everyday my hikari tells me that he loves me, maybe you should make it every day, as should I."
"Ok… what!" Yugi turned back around, seeing Yami's face was smiling.
"Oh Ra, don't do a Joey on me Yug, I thought you were good at puzzles. Look I've gotta change my trousers, could you turn around?"
"Sure." Yugi sighed. Pondering over what his dark had just said. "Maybe you should make it every day, as should I."
'He said I should say "I love you" everyday, as should he…Oh Ra, am I that dense tonight?'
"Yami!" Yugi turned around to see Yami just about to put on his trousers.
"AH! Yugi, don't do that!" he glared at his light, then blushed when he realised Yugi was staring at his underwear, very tight, navy blue Y fronts. "Well I can't wear boxers with this get-up I'm telling you!" he cried exasperatedly."Now what didyou call my name for?"
"I just figured out what you meant. I love you Yami!" Yugi pounced on his under-dressed dark.
"Oof! I love you too Yugi." he hugged his light when there was a knock at the door.
"Curtain goes up in ten Yami, I hope you're…was I interrupting something?" asked Nicole. Seeing Yugi on top of an almost naked Yami.
"Um, no. Heh heh." Yugi sweat dropped and he climbed off.
"It's ok. I'll be ready in a minute. Thanks." Yami nodded, as he started pulling on his costume properly.
"Nicole to Chief, how's things out there Kenny?" she called over her headset, trying to blot out what she had just witnessed from her mind.
"Full house and all systems ready to go. How are things back there?"
"That Yami and his lookalike...You're safer not knowing Kenny."
"Aww come on! I know Ray likes K-… never mind." Kenny replied quickly. Nicole laughed.
"Too late Chief. Don't worry I won't tell. Look I'm up to announce… Gohan if Yami's ready tell him to get into place, curtains up in five. Mokuba, tell Tristan to be ready with the curtains."
"Gotcha." He was about to knock when Yami stepped out. He was in navy leggings and a white t-shirt. His feet in white ballet slippers.
"The public awaits good luck." Gohan showed Yami to the stage where he sat down in a ball. "Ok Nicole it's down to you."
Everyone was seated in the hall. Duke, Téa, Kaiba, and Solomon; Yugi's grandpa, were all sitting in the front row with Tyson's grandpa, Hiro, the White Tigers minus Kevin, the Blitzkrieg Boys, Goten and Trunks. LC was sitting in the aisle beside them. Téa was reading the programme.
"Ooh! Look, Yami's up first! Then that Yamcha, Tien and Krillin…" Téa squealed; Kaiba fought the urge to get up and leave.
"We can read the programme as well as you can Téa." Mumbled Duke irritably. Kaiba sighed and looked down at his own programme, seeing how long before he could see the mutt make a total prat of himself... but couldn't find him anywhere.

INTERMISSION:-
The voting commences for half an hour at
The concession stand. Votes are then counted
And the winner will receive the prize money...
"Hey Trunks, if our dad's win, do you think they'd be too worried about the prize money?" Goten asked his lavender haired friend.
"I doubt it, my dad's only in this with Goku so he can have an excuse to pummel the shit out of him, I'm not saying he could but I know how my father's mind works. Oh about time." Trunks said as the lights went down.
"Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the Royal Griffin Boarding School's talent competition. Tonight's opening act will be Yami, dancing to Celine Dion's 'I'm alive.' Give it up for Yami!"
The applause almost deafened Kenny as he hit the play button and directed the spotlight onto Yami.
Mmmmm ... Mmmmm ...
I get wings to fly
Oh, oh ... I'm alive ... Yeah
Yami stretched his arms gracefully as he stood up.
When you call on me
when I hear you breathe
I get wings to fly
I feel that I'm alive
He spun to one side of the stage, before gracefully imitating a bird as he crossed to the other side.
When you look at me
I can touch the sky
I know that I'm alive
When you bless the day
I just drift away
All my worries die
I'm glad that I'm alive
You've set my heart on fire
Filled me with love
Made me a woman on clouds above
I couldn't get much higher
My spirit takes flight
'Cause I am alive…
Yami just left his body to do the talking, his heart and soul on cloud nine. Yugi loved him and that was all that mattered.
When you call on me
(When you call on me)
When I hear you breathe
(When I hear you breathe)
I get wings to fly
I feel that I'm alive
(I am alive)
When you reach for me
(When you reach for me)
Raising spirits high
God knows that...
That I'll be the one
Standing by through good and through trying times
and it's only begun
I can't wait for the rest of my life
He did a number of pirouettes on the spot then bounded to the side.
"Lower the safety line." Nicole commanded, she could see Mokuba doing as he was told.
When you call on me
(When you call on me)
When you reach for me
(When you reach for me)
I get wings to fly
I feel that...
Yami grabbed the line and skilfully clipped it into the harness he was wearing, whilst making it look like he was drawing circles round himself with his arms. Before taking a running leap above the audience...
Nicole was glad Piccolo and Gohan were on the job of holding him up; there might've been an accident if it was her.
When you bless the day
(When you bless, you bless the day)
I just drift away
(I just drift away)
All my worries die
I know that I'm alive
He came back down, unclipped the line, and pirouetted as the song ended.
I get wings to fly
God knows that I'm alive
Yami stopped spinning and gave a bow as gracefully as he could whilst feeling slightly dizzy. And walked off the stage to applause.
"Well done Yami! You were brilliant." Nicole clapped him on the back. Yugi stood beside her.
"Yami, that was beautiful. I never knew you could ballet!" Yugi hugged his darker half. Yami's dizziness subsided and he smiled.
"You never asked abiou. Can we go and sit down now?"
"Sure thing, Yugi's not up until later." Nicole told them. Yugi led his lover into their dressing room and sat Yami down, and himself next to him.
"So why ballet and why that song?" Yugi asked him. Yami sat back and grinned at him, pulling his smaller counterpart onto his lap.
"Ballet, because Téa said it would suit me, being elegant and skinny and all… and that song, because… that's how I feel when I'm with you." Yami smiled, and then slowly guided his lips over Yugi's in a gentle, chaste kiss.
It was all Yugi wanted for now, knowing Yami must be tired after dancing like that. Breaking the kiss, he settled his head in the curve of Yami's neck, as the taller of the two ran his fingers through his hair.
