I do not own Yugioh, and never will.
I want to say thankyou to my only reviewer of the prologue or summary:
Sweet July
History Can't Help But Repeat Itself
Chapter 1
Taking the cup of coffee from Ryou, Yugi sat down next to Yami on the couch. Ryou passed the other two cups of coffee to Bakura, who detested tea, and Yami, who merely preferred coffee to tea. Taking his own cup of tea, he sat down on Bakura's lap.
"So what are you two up to today?" Ryou enquired.
"Hikari and I are going into London," Yami answered. "See the sights and everything. That and Hikari found a job as a teacher at a high school. We are going to go and check that out too."
"Well it'll be nice if you take the job. Even if Bakura won't say it we enjoy having you guys here," Ryou said.
Bakura snorted, but with a look from Ryou was silent and drank from his cup.
"Yeah," Yugi said. " We like being here too. It'll be nice to stay with friends. No one seems to have time to get together anymore. Now that we have all of our separate lives."
Ryou nodded understandingly, everyone has their own lives now, and there was little time to visit old friends.
They finished their drinks, Yugi took the cups into the kitchen and placed them into the sink. Glancing at the clock on the wall, he noticed what the time was. If they didn't leave soon they would most likely miss the train they wanted to catch to get to London.
Yugi walked into the lounge smiling.
/Yami, if we want to catch the train we have to think about leaving very soon/
\Okay aibou\ Yami replied.
"We'll see you guys later then, Ryou, Bakura. Have a good day," Yugi told them.
Ryou turned to Yugi and smiled.
"Okay, but if you are going to be out for dinner call me," Ryou said.
"Yes mother," Yugi answered smiling teasingly.
Bakura snorted and let out a small laugh.
Yami got up off the couch and went into the hallway, with Yugi not far behind.
Pulling the coats off the coat rack, Yami pulled his on and helped Yugi into his like a mother would her child.
/Thanks Yami/
Placing a kiss on Yami's cheek, Yugi then checked that the coat was sitting right. The millennium puzzle proudly showing.
For a moment Yugi went to open the door, then realized he had forgotten the keys. Hurrying up the stairs, he grabbed them off of the bedside table and snatched both his and Yami's wallets. Shoving the keys and his wallet in his pockets, he went down the stairs to where Yami was waiting.
Yami opened the door and let Yugi out first.
As soon, as the door had shut behind them, Yugi put Yami's wallet in his pocket and then pulled his coat closer around his body, the cold wind was sharp and bitter. Quickly Yugi shoved his hands into his pockets to get them warm again.
Taking the lead Yami and Yugi walked to the train station.
Heading off to buy the tickets for the train once they got the station, Yugi left Yami sitting down on a bench. Yami received a few funny looks from some people at his complete leather outfit. A mother sent a very disapproving look and mutters to herself, "What was his parent thinking?" She quickly moved away from him taking with her, her son who looked to be about five. He was staring at Yami wide eyed.
Yami could not help but smile at the kid, and his mother, he enjoyed the attention. It was still not as enjoyable as dressing his little lover Yugi up in leather, much the same as his own. The attention that Yugi gave him would always be better than any other kind though.
The mother made off as quickly as she could once she saw the smile.
As he made his way through the crowds back to Yami, Yugi noticed the mother hurrying off with her son in tow.
"Scaring the local mothers Yami?" Yugi teased.
"Oh of course not," Yami replied innocently.
"Sure, sure, I've got the tickets, we can go get the train now, it just got in," Yugi informed him.
Yami nodded and they got off the seat heading through the thronging crowds to their platform.
Once the platform was found, that was the easy part over. It seemed that everyone wanted to go to London at this time of the day. Managing barely to get to the train doors without being squashed by the taller people, they boarded.
Walking down the train for a while, they finally found a carriage with a spare seat and sat down.
Yugi leaned his head gently on Yami's should. Yami smiled and gently brushed his fingers through Yugi's hair. Yugi cherished the touch, letting Yami continue unhindered, ignoring all the glares they were receiving from homophobic people.
The train ride was short and uneventful, the train only having one short stop before they got to London.
As the train began to slow down, most began to get up out of their seats and get closer to their nearest exits. Yugi took Yami's hand and they both followed the crowd off of the train and onto the London platform.
Stepping off of the train,
Stepping off of the train, Yugi almost staggered backwards into Yami, but Yami managed to direct him to the side where they could stand rather unhindered by the crowds and out of their way.
"What's wrong?" Yami almost had to yell to over the noise.
/Don't yell use the mind link/
\Okay then, what's wrong?\
/Magic, can't you feel it in the air. This place is covered in a strange and different form of magic. It's not the same as the Shadow Realm./
Yami lowered his barriers that he had erected when Yugi had staggered backward. He frowned when he discovered that Yugi was right. There was magic here, and it was nothing like the Shadow Realm.
\You are right, this magic is nothing like that of the Shadow Realm, and it is no where near as strong as that of the Shadow Realm, even when it is at it's weakest. It has to be some other type of magic, almost like those trace magic's that we found in my old temple.\
/Yeah, thankfully they didn't get in there. There was some things in there that are for no other eyes than yours./
\Yes, come on let's move out of here, it's getting really crowded and…\
/You don't like having so many so close to you. Hey neither do I/
Yami grinned, and steered them off the platform and out the doors of the train station. Yugi didn't mind Yami steering him through the crowds, it kind of reminded him of school and the children as they attempted to escape the school after it had finished for the day. Only slight differences, the amount of noise was by far louder, and the movements were more rushed.
As they made their way through the crowds and outside, Yugi felt the same pulse of magic he had felt only moments before, except it was slightly stronger than the last. Curiosity tore away at Yugi and Yami, desire to know exactly what they could feel. Although Yami was curious, he was also concerned for how the magic might be able to harm Yugi. Anything dangerous for his aibou was not worth the risk for the sake of curiosity.
That and it was not healthy for either the people who hurt Yugi or for Yami himself. Having his aibou hurt brought up all of the darkest emotions that for the most part were suppressed for the sake of Yugi. Yugi would rather that Yami didn't hurt people, but if he didn't know about it and never found out, Yami figured there was no harm done to his aibou and would happily continue following his natural instincts.
Another pulse ran through their bodies.
/Yami, I can feel this magic coming from over in this direction. It's almost constantly coming from over there. Let's go and find out exactly what it is./ Yugi suggested with a smile.
