Dreaming Sensation

Chapter Three: A Date's Apprehension

I don't own the Yugioh and the awesome casts.

Saturday Morning

"Ugh…" A sleepy Yugi grabbed a pillow from the left side of the youth sized bed, shielding himself from the tremendous from morning hour, yet forgetting what he had planned for today. His alarm clock automatically turns on, bringing out a nuisance sound of an equivalent beat and rhythm. He woke up suddenly and slammed his fingers unto the off switch of the machine. Today seems like an ordinary day for him, but when time passes, a new day, a new adventure and a new problem will occur.

Yugi stumbled out of bed; took a new pair of clothes to change into, and went out the door. Walking down the stairs and into the main floor of the game shop, he meets Grandpa there and sees him, once again organizing his deck of cards and making sure his shop is clean and funtional.

Yugi gave a disgruntled look. "Grandpa, why do you always have to rearrange your cards everyday? I mean, how many times have you done the same thing this how week and I'm guessing that –"

Yugi was stopped by the presence of his emotions. The expression of his grandpa's face… his lips curved downwards and his eyes, darkened in gloom. How could he say that! After all, he did help him win the first of the first competitions, his first star chip, his first duel. He's old and what other thing can he do right now. He may be able to do the unbelieveable, but what good will it do? His feelings of the magical guilt has urged Yugi to walk to his Grandpa and apologize to him.

Yugi reached out for his shoulders and slowly spoke. "Grandpa… I'm sorry. I've should've never said that to you in the first place. I guess I'm just too cranky in the morning that's all."

Forgiven and widespread of joy shines out of the seldom man. "Oh ho ho! It's okay."

Yugi gave a smile of satisfaction and left the house. He pretended to walk somewhere and hope to find at least one of the sisters, Femi or Aku, walking too.

Walking under the blue sky and penetrating through air's mass, a miracle has happened! Femi was walking on the other side of the street. Yugi on the right of the street and Femi on the left.

Yugi's Point of View

"This isn't what I had in mind..." I stared at her thinking this may be the only chance I'll have in order to find out more about the millennium items. "I need to do this... for the sake of Yami and his memories." I glanced at her again and took two deep breaths before approaching her across the street. Then I gradually walked behind her and tapped her lightly on the back.

"Hm?" she turned back to look at me, straight face to face moment. I could tell that she knew I wanted something.

"Yes Yugi! What do you want?" she asked me nicely. Most often when I see her, she is either fighting with her sister or just hanging out with the popular groups. Always projecting with a cruel or harsh tone of voice, but I've never heard her with gentle sound of waves. Just enough to sway you a bit but not to push you down the ground. I felt better and more comfortable when I finally heard approval of my presence within her.

Soon I was immediately afraid to speak, the fact that she still stared at me waiting for a response. "Um-um-um... I-I know this may sound weird to you but... can I go on a date with you?"

She gave a speechless face but then returned an answer with a friendly smile.

"It's okay if you don't want to. I completely understand. I just came out of no where and asked you on a date yet I don't even know much about you."

"Sure!" She said cheerfully sounding like she hasn't even heard what I just said to her. She grabbed my arm and walked away with him to the unknown. "So where are we going dearest?"

I flushed in pink and my cheeks began to appear in pink shades to her words. I started to perspire uncontrollably. "Uh-uh I-I-I don't know..."

An a smirk began to spread across Femi's face. "I have an idea! Are you hungry?" Her face came up close to mine. I felt uncomfortable as I could feel her cold breath run down my neck. My heart started beating faster and it felt like it was shaking me back in forth within. I could easily hear the beat of my heart pump faster and faster. My hands felt cold and I wanted to run back to my house, but I can't.

I instantly knew what she was thinking. She had a bright look on her face and I guess her desire was to eat somewhere. I planned my first date to be one of best event in my life so I treated her to an expensive resturant.

End of Point of View

Both Yugi and Femi walked back to her house, but only to the garage, which surprisingly was close to Grandpa's game shop. "C'mon Yugi! Lets ride in my limo!" Femi urged.

"Limo?" Yugi knew that she had a lamborgini, but not a limo! Is she rich? Yugi wondered. "You have a limo Femi?" He verbally asked.

"Yea I do!" She said proudly.

Wow… she must be proud of having a limo. Yugi comfirmed mentally just by looking at her expression.

They both entered into the garage, quickly. It was dark inside of the garage. Trying to find the light switch, Femi trips over a piece of wood and falls to the ground. Yugi utters a gasp and seaches out for the light switch, carefully. Soon, he successfully finds it and instantly helps Femi get up on her own two feet.

"Are you okay Femi?" Yugi trying to help her. She gazed at the ground as she was lifted up slowly.

She bled from her index finger. It was a deep cut so it bled uncontrollably. Out of the blue, the cut on her finger shrinked until no more and the bleeding abruptly. Yugi hadn't noticed. Only she had and decided it was best not to tell him. The healing power was produced by her Millennium Bracelet.

She grinned. "I'm okay Yugi, thank-you. No one ever helps me..."

He stared at her sadly and turned to the car. There was an uncomfortable silence between the two, but Femi spoke anyway. "Hey lets go to the car!" She said with fake entusiasm as she grabbed Yugi's arm into the white long limo.

No one has ever done this to me before... I wonder if she's okay with that. Those words echoed inside of Yugi's head. He looked at Femi to make sure she was okay. She was calling out to someone so someone could drive the car for them. Thus immediately someone got into the car and started the engine. "This is going to be fun! Right Yugi?"

Yugi sat silently equally thinking about what Femi had just said. Minutes had gone by and they were finally there. Yugi's and Femi's car trip seemed boring and inaudible since no one was talking.

They both got out of the limo and entered a resturant called La Bella, an expensive Italian restuarant in the local city. The place was populated. Many noises echoed and detail filled the area. Endless spirals and loops ran along the walls in shades of gold and silver and plants of a rare type bloomed within dim corners. A waiter awaited them there and seated them next to a wide window near a beautiful, spacious view of city. Femi and Yugi sat face to face. Rested upon the cushion, Femi slides her hands on top of the elegant table, exposing her millennium bracelet to Yugi's view. The sight reminded Yugi's purpose of the date.

"Um, Femi." Yugi said as Femi's eyes raised to see Yugi's intentively. "Your bracelet... where did you get that?"

His question gave her an unexpected feeling. "Lets not talk about that. Why don't we enjoy-"

Yugi cutted her off eagerly and questioned her once again firmly. "Where did you get that bracelet Femi?"

Femi sighed and given up. She knew very well that he wouldn't leave her alone with that thought. She stammered as she spoke and was hiding something from him, hoping that he doesn't find out.

"I-I-I can't..." She twisted herself to the boundless windows next to her. A waiter approached them and given them laminated menus.

"Thank-you," Yugi said nicely. Femi didn't say a thing as she was still dazed by Yugi's question. Yugi waited until the waiter left so they can continue the conversation, but apparently Femi didn't want to continue.

"Yugi, I just don't want to talk about it right now," Femi demanded. She shaped her right hand into a right angle, her thumb pointing right while her other four fingers pointing upwards, and pressed them against her forehead. She seemed tired and frustrated. "I wished I hadn't gone on this date," she muttered.

Heard by her muttered, Yugi became furious. His chance of figuring out the pharoah's memories is quite infuriating. "Do you ever wonder why people never help you?' Yugi asked, trying not to sound rough.

She didn't answer except raised her eyes to him to listen a bit. "Maybe because you need to stop saying vulgar and brutal words to other people. When I first walked with you to my house, I heard you say some harsh things to Aku and the way you kicked her out of the table you sat in was mean. She looked gloomy and upset when she walked away, but when she was down, we helped her get up on her own two feet. Sometimes, accepting things the way they are are the best ways to get... real friends. I don't want to be a bother you anymore so I'll leave. Thanks by the way." He stood up and left the table, leaving Femi sitting by herself.

She sat looking at the two laminated menus, resting upon the table and now she only needed one. She groaned and only dwelled on what her companion had to say to her. Yugi…

Yugi exited the building and swallowed in the fresh air, relieved by nervousness and wonder. He stopped to talk to Yami.

Pharoah?

"Yes Yugi?" Yami appeared transparent before Yugi.

Sorry that I didn't get to collect any information about the Millennium Items. I know how important it is for you.

"No Yugi. It's reasonably understandable and you're the one doing the work so I'll be patient."

Yugi smiled and stood on his toes, trying to see if he's still far away from grandpa's shop, but of coarse, standing on his toes didn't help at all. Sadly he was still too short. His yami disappeared and while walking, he hears a sudden of footsteps coming from behind him. He turns around seeing Femi running after him. He waited for her and when she finally stood before him, she stop to take deep breaths and hugged him. Her hands laid on Yugi's back, gripping onto his blue jacket. She was close to him. Close enough so that he can feel her cold cheeks rest upon his. Shorty after, she parted away from a confused Yugi.

She grabbed Yugi's hands and looked down at him. "Yugi I'm sorry and honestly I am. I haven't realized my problems, not until you pointed it out for me. Your like a brother to me... I'm embarressed and weird that I'm asking you this… so uh… will come with me to my house. I'll tell you about the... bracelet…ugh… if you come."

Yugi smiled as she saw the words of wisdom. A limo drove up next to them and they got in.

Once seated and relaxed, Femi began her explaination. "Yugi..." She pressed black button on the door of the car and a window rose, covering the view of the driver. "I-I stole this bracelet from a muesum.."

"Wha-!" Yugi was cutted off by a slap from Femi's hand. "SHH! Don't be so loud. No one knows except you, me, and Aku. That's it so be quiet will ya?"

Yugi groaned a little. "Okay, sorry, but-but why did you do that? Where did you get it from!"

"I did it because it looked sooooooooooooo pretty! I was just too tempted see. I also got it from a muesum from Egypt. They have nice jewelry there you know that."

"Egypt? Did your sister stole one too because I've noticed both of you have similar objects."

"Well... I don't know. Beats me, she could've stolen it too. How else would she have gotten it? Go ask her when we get home."

"Okay." The car drove up to the same house Yugi and Femi entered before. They both got out of the limo and went to the entrance. "Here's the house.Let me show you around." Femi opens the door and Yugi enters inside of a mansion! Outside of the house was covered with dead plants and ivy vines, but inside of the house was beautiful red colored rugs, lined up perfectly on a wooden floor. Pottery, unique and bizarre pieces of art, and lavishly painted paintings hung onto the dull walls, bringing attention to the enormous home. The stairs seem limitless and the handlebars were polished. Chandeliers hung magically above them without subsiding. Beautifully, the house flowered into a awe-inspiring ball.

Yugi stood speechless and shocked. His jaw dropped. I guess this meant you can't judge a book by its cover. "I'll be upstairs, okay. You can go to Aku if you like. Maybe she can answer your question."

"Okay."

Femi walked upstairs to a room while Yugi searched out for Aku's room. Unforeseen, he passes by her.

"Hi Aku!" Yugi said happily.

She smiled brightly and surprised to find him in her home. "Hi Yugi. What brings you here?"

"Femi brought me here and oh I have a question. Where did yo get that hairband thing?" Yugi asked.

Aku smirked. "Why you want one?"

"What! No-no! I was just wondering..." Yugi complained frantically. "I know I've should've asked you when we talked about it."

"Its okay I was just joking. I got this from my mother..." Her voice broke off into silence and gazed off, silently, watching nothing in particular. Her eyes started off in a different direction, her face moving away from Yugi's view. My mother…

"Um... Aku... are you alright?" Yugi asked.

Aku wiggled her head. "I'm okay, thanks for asking though. I'm going to go back to my room now." She disappeared from Yugi's field of view and went into her room.

With no idea of what to do, Yugi went to search for Femi. While openning the multitudes of doors in the mansion, the action utterly reminded Yugi of openning doors too in the Millennium Puzzle where also collection of doors were enclosed. "Ugh... I don't think I should be doing this. Maybe just one more door." Yugi settles to open one last door discovering something meant to be undiscovered.

To be continued…
