Alright! Writers Block, officially ovah'! Yay! Thank you FuturePast for getting it for me...
New chapter, on demand of all of you, my readers and reviewers! And, seeing that I don't want to make you all angry with me /again/ I'll let it start immediately!
Disclaimer: Every damn chapter... –mumbles- Okay, I do not, I repeat, DO NOT own Yu-Gi-Oh! If I did, Seto/Jou would be the main pairing, and yamis/hikaris right after. And Anzu would be dead. No discussions.
Pairings: Main Yugi/Yami, and minor Seto/Jou, Ryou/Bakura, Honda/Otogi. Also, Anzu/Yami, but that is onesided.
Warnings: If you haven't guessed it yet; boy/boy love, some cursing and bad words. Anzu bashing for all I'm worth! If any of this offends you, leave. And do it now. (And please don't come and tell me that I didn't warn you about the Anzu bashing!)
/Talking./ Yami talking to Yugi through the mindlink.
((Talking)) Yugi talking to Yami through the mindlink.
Okay, that's all for my babbling, see you in the end of the chapter!
Chapter 6School/Maths
10:45
Normal POV
Yugi sat next to Jou and sat with his head bent down over his math-test, looking like he worked hard. But, he wasn't even seeing the pages. No, he was trying to contact Yami through the mind link. But the spirit had refused to answer.
((Yami, are you alright?)) Yugi worriedly asked, as he saw Yami brake off a pencil one row on front of him. And it was the third only for that lesson...
Yami just snorted, and took a new pencil, ignoring Yugi completely.
A hurt expression entered Yugi's face, and he felt tears sting inside his eyes. Why did Yami ignore him like this? All he had said earlier was that he didn't want to tell Yami who gave him the Dragon Seeker card. Yugi sighed deeply, and doodled a little on his paper. He was done with his test already, but didn't leave it to the teacher, seeing that he'd have to leave the classroom then. And then he wouldn't be able to try to contact Yami.
Jou looked at Yugi, and then at Yami. The taller, tanned version of Yugi was writing harshly on his paper, and once again broke a pencil. A low, Egyptian curse left his mouth, when he took his last, whole pencil. Jou scratched the back of his head, and then decided to talk to Yugi a little. He was also done with the test, so it wouldn't matter.
"Oy, Yugi. How's it goin', has Yami answered ya yet?" He whispered lowly, while pretending to write down an answer.
Yugi shook his head sadly. "No...and I don't understand why. Jou, why is he acting so strange? Does...does he hate me or something?" Yugi's eyes grew worried and frightened when he said that.
Jou quickly shook his head. "No! Of course not! He wouldn' just start hatin' ya in the blink of an eye. He's your other half, damnit! And soul mates just don't start hating each other." He paused. "You really should talk to him, though. Figure out what that's buggin' him."
A sad expression appeared in Yugi's face. "But he won't talk to me..."
Jou smirked. "Yugi, my friend. You have the utter weapon, and you don't use it..." Yugi blinked, and waited. Jou rolled his eyes, and sighed. "Your eyes, Yug'! Ya have the biggest, and most beautiful eyes, and they can be used to a perfect weapon."
"How?" Yugi asked, with genuine interest.
"One word, my friend; Puppy-eyes."
Lunch/12:00Yami sighed and numbly stirred his yoghurt, his only lunch for the day. He sat outside, alone, under the same tree Yugi sat under a few days earlier. He leaned back against the stem and gave another deep sigh.
He had avoided Yugi the whole day, seeing that he didn't want to say something stupid, and hurt Yugi, or/and humiliate himself. But Yugi had tried to speak to him during the whole day, making the whole avoid thing harder.
A fire burned within his heart, a dark and scorching one that scarred his heart. It appeared every time he thought about Yugi, and the mystery person that had given Yugi that Dragon Seeker card.
Jealousy burned the spirits heart and soul, with unforgiving and hateful force.
In an inner vision he saw a smiling and laughing Yugi with his arms around a face-less person's neck, in a loving hug, and the mystery person had his arms around Yugi's waist. Then it turned into Yugi kissing, yes kissing, that fucking 'no one in particular-person'. And that vision burned even more, and made him want to scream with anger and wrath.
Another sigh escaped him, and he leaned his chin against his knees. But why did he care so damn much? If Yugi liked someone, he shouldn't he so jealous. He should be happy for his hikari. That Yugi found love would be a good thing, seeing that it would make Yugi happy, right? And all Yami ever wanted was for his aibou to be happy.
Then why did it feel like his heart was about to brake?
"Yami?" The top duellist quickly turned his head around to learn the identity of the person who ha interrupted his thoughts.
Beautiful, violet eyes met his, and gave him a worried look.
Yami felt his heart leap in his chest, and he quickly turned away from Yugi, not greeting him. Maybe Yugi would leave id he were ignored. Then he heard his hikari sigh deeply, and sit down next to him. ((Yami, are you angry with me?)) A wave of sadness and worry came from Yugi's side of the mind link, almost drowning Yami in guilt.
Hearing the sad tone in his hikari's voice made Yami's heart melt, and he turned to Yugi with a soft smile. /No, of course not, Yugi. I could never be angry with you.../
Yugi smiled relaxed, and sighed. ((Good...I don't like it when people is angry with me...especially not you...)) Yugi blushed a little upon saying the last, and looked away. Yami also blushed, and cleared his throat. /Oh...good./
((Yeah, good...))
Silence fell over them, and Yugi fidgeted, and pulled up grass from the ground around him. He so desperately wanted to say something to brake the silence between them, but he couldn't think of anything to say...
"Yugi, may I ask you something?" Yami suddenly asked, not looking up from his yoghurt. His eyes didn't reveal anything, and neither did the mind link, so Yugi felt quite nervous. Yami could be about to ask anything. But Yugi trusted the question to be important, so he simply smiled and gave his answer.
"Um...sure. What?"
Yami's hold on the spoon got tighter, and his voice was very tight when he spoke. "Who gave you that Dragon Seeker card? Is it anyone I know?"
Yugi blinked. Who that had given him...Realization hit Yugi, and he leaned his head to the side in a confused and almost amused fashion. "Is that what has been bugging you, Yami? Who that gave me that card?"
Yami blushed, and scratched the back of his neck. "Yes and no...partly." His eyes narrowed, and he looked up from the ground to look at Yugi. "Well, who gave it to you?"
Yugi smiled, and laughed in a very relieved way, sending pleasant shivers down Yami's spine. "That was all? You've only wondered who that gave me the card? Why didn't you tell me that at once?"
Yami simply shrugged. Now it actually seemed quite foolish the way he had acted. But he still felt very jealous, and he wanted, no needed, to know who had given the card to Yugi, and maybe even carried Yugi's affection.
Yugi's smile brightened, and he pounced on Yami, and hugged him tight around the waist. "Oh, Yami! You are so silly sometimes!" Yami blushed at once, feeling the warmth of the other boy, a warmth that made him feel so...damn good.
"Yeah...I guess I am...but who gave you that card, Yugi? Why do you keep avoiding the subject? I want an answer now, damnit!" Yami said, and pulled away a little. His eyes glowed dangerously, making any man shake down to his toes.
Though, Yugi simply smiled yet again, not at all affected by Yami's glare, seeing that he knew that the former Pharaoh would never hurt him. "Jou gave me that card! I didn't say it in front of Kaiba, because I didn't want him to be angry with Jou." He frowned a little. "Err...to be more angry than he already is, that is."
Yami stared at Yugi. "J-J-Jou? H-He gave you that card?" The spirit spluttered out, and blinked several times.
But...if Jou gave Yugi that card...it meant that there wasn't any secret love that had conquered Yugi's heart! Yami felt, finally, the fires blow out in his heart, and he was filled with relief. Yugi wasn't in love with anyone...
Not that Yami considered that a good thing, not at all.
Yugi nodded, and giggled at the stunned expression on his yami's face. "Yes! And you know how Kaiba can be, so I didn't tell you...I hope that you're not disappointed with me, Yami." The short duellist watched Yami with big eyes, and a worried look on his face.
Yami quickly shook his head, and shot Yugi a smile. A heavy weight fell from his chest, and made him happier than ever. "I could not possibly be disappointed with you. Not now, not ever." That made Yugi smile even wider, and he gave Yami a brief hug. "Thanks, Yami."
While the two boys started to talk about random things, they were unaware of the fact that they were being watched. Blue eyes watched them with a vicious glint.
"Oh no, Yugi. You will not have him, Yami will be mine. I guess I'll just have to make him realize how much better of he'd be with me..." The eyes disappeared, with a low laugh as the only sign that it they had been there.

Schoolyard
Normal POV
Yami leaned comfortably against the brick-wall of the school building and enjoyed the warmth he was provided with from the sun. His thoughts, though, were far from the weather. He was thinking about Yugi, of course.
His hikari was still inside of the school, waiting for the test result from the Maths. Yugi was always keen on his test results, and always tried to do his best. Yami had already gotten the result back, and it wasn't really that good. Seeing that he had broken every single one of his pencils during that test, and only had managed to make half of it. And that half was all wrong answers...
He smiled affectionately. Damn that boy, making him feel so unfocused.
Not that it really was Yugi's fault, but it was partly. He had invaded Yami's mind during that whole test, by making him think about him all the time.
Damn that feeling called jealousy.
His nice and quiet moment was broken by a shrill voice, from very close. "Hi, Yami!"
The ancient spirit almost fell over with surprise, and his eyes snapped open. In front of him, only a few feet from him, stood Anzu. The brunette was smiling sweetly (or not) towards him, and batted her eyelashes towards him.
Yami felt like throwing up.
"Oh, Anzu. Hi." He said, and sighed deeply.
Anzu pouted, and took a step closer to Yami. "Aw, Yami...that's not how you should speak to a woman..."
"Well, you're not a woman. You are some sort of shadow-realm creature that has escaped." Yami said inside his mind. But to Anzu, he smiled slightly, and spoke in a calm, and quite cold voice.
"Sorry, Anzu. I'm just tired, that's all."
"Yeah, I know how you feel!" Anzu chirped, and made her eyes bigger. "I mean, all of this thinking can get you tired..."
Yami simply rose an eyebrow at Anzu, and then looked away towards the school-doors. Couldn't Yugi come out soon so they could go home, and Yami could get away from the girl in front of him...
"Yami, do you know something?" Anzu's voice had suddenly grown quite husky and low, so Yami quickly turned his head to see what was going on.
The blue eyes he met was clouded, and filled with lust. It made Yami shiver violently, with disgust and only disgust. Anzu pressed up against him, and Yami felt quite sick upon feeling her breast push against his chest.
"Anzu, would you mind to step away from me?" Yami asked, trying to keep his voice as cold as possible.
But the girl didn't seem to hear him. She stroke his chest with her index finger, with, she thought, a seductive smile. "You are sooo sexy..." She purred, and rubbed her breast against him, thinking that she was sexy.
Yami was close to throwing up now, he had never felt so sick. "Anzu, stop it. Right now." Sure he could push her away, or simply send her to the Shadow Realm, but Yami was too polite to push her, and too kind to send her to that hell. Although it was tempting.
But Anzu ignored him. She put her hands behind his neck, and pulled him closer to her. He stumbled forward, almost falling over, and stared down in the girl's eyes. Her eyes filled with lust, she spoke huskily, making Yami feel even sicker. "I want you." And then, she kissed him full on the lips.
Yami felt his eyes widen, and he made sounds of protest in the back of his throat. He put his hands on her waist, and tried to push her away, but didn't succeed. And when he opened his mouth to protest, Anzu plunged her tongue into his mouth, and he felt the wet thing rub against his own tongue. That made Yami almost puke, and he tried to turn his head to the side, but Anzu held her hands on his cheeks and held him still.
It was in that moment, Yugi exited the school. His mind was happy, and he felt very satisfied. His math-test had gone perfect, all answers correct, and now he would go home with Yami, the love of his life. He looked around himself to find his darker side.
Then he saw Yami. Making out with Anzu furiously against the brick-wall of the school.
Yugi felt his heart freeze, and then shatter in small pieces. Like in slow-motion, he saw the pair's lips move against each other, in a passionate way. It felt like he wasn't there, like he watched from above, or far away. But it was still happening.
Yami was kissing Anzu.
A sob escaped Yugi's throat, before he could stop it, making Anzu let go of Yami, and Yami turn his head in the direction of the sound.
Yami felt his heart drop when he saw Yugi, and he pushed Anzu far away from him. "Y-Yugi, wait...this is not what it looks like, I swear-"
But Yugi didn't stop to listen. No, he turned with another sob and ran away from the other two. His heart was shattered, and sorrow flooded his senses. Yami...was together with Anzu. Yugi had lost Yami to Anzu. Now, the last chance he had had, was gone, torn into shreds.
His heart was shattered. And he doubted that it could be mended.
Yami groaned, and made an attempt of running after his hikari, but Anzu grabbed his arm and turned him towards her. She batted her eyelashes and made a, she though, seductive smile. "Well...Yami, why don't we continue this somewhere private, hm? Somewhere were we'll not get...disturbed by other, annoying persons." She stroked his arm, and smiled sweetly.
Yami's eyes narrowed, and he snatched his arm away from her. "Anzu, let me tell you something I've been wanting to say to you for I don't know how many months."
"Oh! Sure, love!"
"Fuck off." Yami snarled, and then ran after Yugi.
Seeing that Yugi had such a large advantage, he was able to think for a while on where to run. Not home, Yami would go there for sure. And it wouldn't be hard for him to reach Yugi, and Yugi didn't want Yami to talk to him. He weren't sure he'd be able to keep himself from crying.
Ryou's place was out of the picture. One, it lived a crazy Egyptian there. And two, he'd have to tell Ryou about his crush on Yami. And he really didn't feel like explaining it all to him.
Then, one name came to his mind, the only person who knew all about this thing. "Jou..." Yugi whispered, and then turned to run down the streets of Domino again. When he were only fifty metres from Jou's new house, he heard Yami's voice from behind him.
"Yugi! Wait, please, wait!" Yugi looked over his shoulder, and saw Yami run only a few metres behind him. Yugi's heart leaped, and he forced his legs to move faster. He turned a corner, and then saw the door of Jou's house. Small, but looked very cosy. Seto Kaiba had bought it for Jou, seeing that his father was in jail.
Yugi sobbed harshly, and knocked the door forcefully. "Come on, come on, come on..." He whispered and looked around him to see where Yami were. He couldn't see him yet, but it would only be a matter of time...
"Yug'? Wha'dya doin' here?" Yugi turned his gaze to the door, and saw Jou standing in the doorway, hair messy, and clothes crumbled. His eyes were groggy, like he'd been sleeping and just had woken up.
Before Yugi could explain, he heard Yami's voice from not too far away. "Aibou! Please, just listen to me-" Yugi pushed Jou into the house, and then closed the door behind them. Then he locked the door, to keep Yami from coming in. His whole body shook, and he stared at the door with blurry eyes.
Jou watched all of this with a weird facial expression, and a worried feeling in the pit of his stomach. "Yug', wha's up? And why are you runnin' from Yami?"
Yugi looked away from the door, and Jou could suddenly see that his eyes were filled with tears. "Y-Yami is...is...together with..." A sob escaped his throat, and he flung his arms around Jou's waist, to cry violently into his shirt.
Jou blinked, as he had never seen his friend like that. Yugi was the one who always carried a smile, even if it was a sad one. The blond had never seen Yugi cry like this, like his heart was broken.
Then, Yugi's words hit home, and he understood. "Yami's seein' someone?" Jou asked lowly, and put his arms around Yugi's waist, to give him some comfort and support.
The short boy nodded, and sobbed wildly. "I-I saw h-him ki-kissing h-h-her..." He started to cry even harder at the memory.
Jou sat down with Yugi in his lap, and held him close. "Who? Who was it you saw him with?"
"A-Anzu..." Yugi sobbed out, and buried his face in Jou's shoulder. After saying that, he felt his heart crash even deeper, and he sobbed, but all his tears were out. All he could do was to sob until his throat hurt, and then he sobbed even harder.
"Anzu?" Jou blinked several times, and then his eyes narrowed. "That damn bastard..." Anger filled Jou, and he looked down at his devastated friend. How could Yami do that? Go kissing some damn whore, and brake Yugi's heart like that, and for what? A little pleasure?
How dared he!
A knock of the door interrupted Jou's thoughts, and a voice sounded through the door.
"Yugi! Are you in there!" Yami's voice were worried and slightly out of breath.
Yugi twitched at hearing Yami's voice, and he felt his heart leap. He didn't want Yami to be there, he wanted for him to leave, just leave him alone. He crept deeper into Jou's arms, and stared at the door with wide eyes.
"Who's it?" Jou shouted, even though he already knew.
Silence followed for a few seconds. "Jou? Is that you?"
"Yeah. I live here, ya know." Jou gritted out, and tried to keep himself from screaming curses and other foul things to Yami.
"Oh...is Yugi there?" Yami's voice sounded worried, but that didn't make Jou less angry.
The blond looked down at Yugi, who stared at the door with tear-filled eyes. Then they looked up at Jou with pleading eyes. "Please, don't let him in." Yugi whispered, and buried his face in Jou's shirt, now damp with the youths tears.
"Don' worry, I won't." Jou mumbled, and then lifted Yugi up to his feet. "You go to the bedroom, and get some sleep. I have to talk to Yami for a minute."
Yugi nodded, and then walked on wobbly legs through the door where he knew that the guestroom was. He had visited Jou several times, and therefore knew where almost everything were.
Jou waited until Yugi had closed the door, and he heard it click softly. Then he walked up to the door, unlocked it and swung it open.
Yami stood on the doorstep, and had his hand raised to knock the door. He looked at Jou surprised, and then lowered his arm. "Oh...Jou, where's Yugi? I saw him run in here, and-" Jou interrupted him. But not with words.
Jou slapped Yami hard in the face. "Tha's for kissin' Anzu." He slapped the spirit again. "And tha's for making Yugi cry." One more loud slap. "And tha's because I felt like it."
Yami blinked several times, and put a hand on his stinging cheek. "Jou, what the-"
Jou interrupted him again. "Oh, shut up, would ya? I can't believe ya, Yami! How could ya do tha'! What the fuck were you thinking!" The blond stomped his foot, and gave Yami a glare that could've easily competed with Seto Kaiba's.
Yami blinked yet again. This wasn't like Jou. He had always been the Joker of the gang, never really serious about anything (except Seto, of course). But now, he was glaring viciously at Yami, with a very serious look on his face.
But Yami was wrong. Jou cared about one more thing, and that was his friends. For them, he did close to anything.
"Jou, could you please explain to me of what it is you speak? I'm not really following here...what have I done?"
"Hah! Like ya don' know..." Jou snorted. "Ya wouldn' be here if ya didn' know why I'm angry wit' ya!"
Yami simply stared at the furious Jou. "No, I really don't understand what...you know what, never mind. Where's Yugi, I need to talk to him."
Jou gritted together his teeth. Such ignorance, just say that he wanted to talk to Yugi, not even assuming that Yugi wouldn't want to talk to him. So, it was for Jou to make him fall down a few notches.
"He don't want to talk to ya." Jou said, and then glared. "And I really can't blame him."
"Jou, what-"
Jou was now furious. He stepped closer to Yami, and poked him hard in the chest, not once braking the eye contact. His eyes shot lightning, and he sported a glare that would make a furious lion mewl like a small kitten.
"You know what, Yami! Fuck off, go an' chat with yer little girlfriend Anzu. Or ya just can go an' kiss her into oblivion, or fuck her brains out, I don' really care!" Jou paused and then added with a quiet voice. "But leave Yugi alone." And then, Jou slammed the door so hard that the windows clattered.
Yami stared at the closed door, and then his eyes narrowed. "JOU! OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR! I HAVE TO TALK TO YUGI! JOU! JOU!" He banged on the door loudly, only to make his hands hurt. The door remained unopened and locked, just like it was before.
Yami turned to lean against the door, and slid down it, to sit down on the ground. His heart felt like it was about to brake, and tears stung his eyes. He was so close, but yet so far away from the one he loved more than life itself. And he couldn't get to him...
"Yugi..." He whispered softly, and closed his eyes for a second. Hesitantly, he reached out to Yugi's mind. /Yugi? Are you there/. Through the link between them, he could feel hurt and betrayal for a second, before it was cut off, leaving him alone and cold. Without Yugi in his life he felt...
Incomplete.
It was a horrible feeling, like he had lost half of his soul. He couldn't for his life understand how he could have missed the obvious way he felt about Yugi. And when he did come to reason about it, why hadn't he gone to him, confessed how he felt?
"You were afraid you'd hurt him..." A voice whispered inside his head. And it was true. Yami had been afraid of that, and also he'd been afraid of not being good enough, or of doing something wrong. But now, that he figured out how he felt, he lost him...
Like the old saying goes; You don't know what you've got until it's gone.
End Chapter!
How many people wants to kill Anzu right now?
Readers: -raise hands-
Thought so. She won't die yet, though. But her time will come, believe me! –looks evil-
I hope that the chapter was good, and that at least someone appreciated it. I worked hard on it. Like, real hard (even though you might not notice it...)
And now, for those who will review: Please, no complaining on the Anzu bashing! It will be ignored or/and laughed at. So, to keep you from making fools of yourselves, don't mention it. I will only make fun of it (inside my head, not here.)
Anyways, drop me a review, and you shall be rewarded with a new chapter!
