Chapter Two
Today Venus is in amnesia and mercury is in opposition to Prozac. Forget about that werewolf in the cupboard under that stairs
Finally! Were Yuugi's thoughts when the magnificently glorious bell rung, releasing them from the infernal prison they call school. Yuugi ran all the way to his locker and stuffed his thick text books in haphazardly.
"Whoa, Yuugi, wasn't the rush"
Yuugi jumped about a foot in the air, but recognized the voice a few seconds after his feet touched the ground again.
"Oh, hello, Ryou." Yuugi said happily, but shyly, like usual.
"Hi."
There was a small pause in which Ryou blushed deeply. He had always been a shy boy. Very shy.
"Um, Yuugi, I was kinda wondering if you would like to go to the mall with me today. I would like to get to know you and be friends." The silver haired boy said hastily, before he backed out.
Yuugi smiled. He had always liked Ryou. "Sure" He said enthusiast. His first friend. Luck was on his side today.
Ryou smiled. He looked somewhat relived that Yuugi didn't reject him. He really did like Yuugi, a lot, in fact. He loved everything about the boy! So the two of them walked out of the building together, both smiled, talking energetically to one another. About school, how life sucked, anime, the latest fantasy book, and a new game called Duel Monsters.
They walked all the way town which wasn't that far from Domino High. Yuugi loved down town Domino, it was just so much fun to shot at practically every store! Regardless of how much money he spent.
"Hey Ryou wanna go to the arcade" Yuugi suggested his eyes sparkling like brilliant gems.
"Sure" Ryou said sounding equally as happy.
They kept walking, but this time no words were exchanged. They were too wrapped up in their thoughts. Ryou is so cool. He's like the brother I never had! Only better 'cause he's cute! And he seems so happy just being with me. Yup! I finally have someone I can trust. Ryou was thinking along the same lines, although he wanted Yuugi to be so much more that a friend. They reached the Domino Arcade. Inside the walls were painted black and the floor had dark blue carpeting. There were vending machines in a far end of the room and noisy video games were lined against the walls and were arranged around the middle of the room. The noise around the place was defining. The insecant chattering was enough to drive everyone insane, and to top that all off there was little music coming from the video games along with annoying little beeps and loud up-beat pop and rock music coming from the Dance Dance Revolution game that was a few meters away. The lights and the countless bodies milling around the place like a swarm of bees inside their nest made the temperature spike, even with the Air Conditioner on full blast. So why Yuugi like this atmosphere was a total mystery. Ryou on the other hand was covering one ear with his left and fanning himself with the right, but Yuugi looked like a kid in a candy store. He pointed to the DDR game excitedly saying,
"I wanna play, I wanna play" In a childish manner.
Ryou nodded as the hand that was fanning him was pulled so he was guided tot he large DDR platform. There were two figures on the stage, a girl with reddish brown, waist-length hair, and a boy with wild blond. The screen flashed with colors and blue and red arrows, plus there were multi-colored lights shinning on the dancers, adding to the already scorching temperature.
As soon as the up-beat song ended the two hopped off, sweating and panting slightly from trying to follow the ridiculously fast moves. They stopped in front of Yuugi and Ryou. The just stared, his face expressionless. They knew the honey-eyed teen as Katusya Jounouchi. The girl on the other hand, who seemed to be in secondary school and no older than fourteen smiled and said cheerfully, but breathlessly,
"Hi, I'm Shizuka"
Ryou and Yuugi politely said hello, but were more interested in Jounouchi who was now glaring at them.
"Aren't you the social outcasts" He said in a voice practically dripping with hate. The green-eyed girl took no notice and continued with her introduction.
"And this is Katsuya, my older brother"
Ryou and Yuugi nodded. "He goes to school with us." Yuugi stated, trying to contain his hate because he didn't want to hurt Shizuka's feelings, she obviously worshiped her brother! (A.N: Just so you know I'm not a big fan of shizuka)
"Well we should get going." Said Jounouchi hastily.
Shizuka shook her head. "I like them. Wanna play a game of DDR, Yuugi"
Yuugi blushed. Today was the best and weirdest day of his life. And he had long since decided to enjoy what fate threw at him this day, knowing full well that tomorrow his good luck streak would most defiantly end, and end painfully. He just knew it, out of experience. Then he would have to heal his heart one way or another. Usually by alienating himself from the outside world for weeks on end. (Usually a month or so)
Yami was hoping to see Yuugi one last time before he left school that day. He could've asking him out somewhere. But cruel fate wasn't in his favor that particular day. So instead he walked over to Malik, Marik, and Bakura, who were obviously plotting something that had to do with him because they immediately stopped talking when he came within earshot of the conversation. Yami only hoped that it didn't have anything to do with the bet. But he wouldn't put it past Marik to tell the whole school. Yet he didn't ask because he trusted his best friend. So instead he inquired,
"Have you seen Yuugi"
Malik suddenly nodded, catching Yami's undivided attention. "Where" He demanded.
"He was with a kid with white hair. He looked 'Kura." Said Malik dismissively, trailing kissed down Bakura's pale neck. "But my 'Kura's cutter."
Yami emotions kicked in. One stronger than the others. Jealousy. So some Bakura look-alike was with his Yuugi! The ruby-eyed teen left without saying anything.
Marik had a nervous look on his face. "I'm going to make sure he doesn't kill anyone." And took off at top speed after his deranged best friend. Anger can be a dangerous and powerful weapon.
"Yami"
Yami spun around to face Marik. "Nani" He asked rather rudely.
"I'll help you find Yuugi." He said simply, but in truth he wanted to meet the Bakura look-alike and see if he was anything like Yuugi, weak, nerdy, angelic, and innocent, or like Bakura, cruel, restless, demonic, and tough. Maybe he could get along with the boy. Marik shook his head. You haven't even met the guy and yet you're already saying you want to befriend him? Malik shrugged. But it just seems like this is a thing I'm missing like my lighter side or something. Some people may think it odd, but Marik frequently had mental arguments with himself.
Yami wasn't paying attention to anything but locating any sign of hair that look like his, but with less blonde in it.
Left, right, right, front, left. Yuugi panted as his small feet stepped on the platform, guided by the screen. His face and neck were drenched with sweat. Shizuka was next to him, also following the steps. She was good.
Jounouchi and Ryou were standing in the mini crowd. Ryou's mouth had gone dry. Yuugi's small frame moved so gracefully, like an angel. And what part of his pale, cream skin was visible was visible was glittering with sweat, giving the petite boy a very enticing look.
The hyper song ended as Yuugi hopped down, fanning his face with his hand, franticly. Ryou stared at the miniature boy with lust-filled eyes. But Yuugi, being the naive, innocent person he was, he was totally oblivious to the lecherous stare. Besides, he was talking to Shizuka about the Dance Dance Revolution game, much to Jounouchi's displeasure. Obviously he didn't approve of his sister socializing with the outcasts of her future High School, but obviously she couldn't care less who her friends were.
Ryou was just watching Yuugi's every move.
Yami looked in every shop down town. Why he was acting so over-protective and possessive, he didn't know, but he did want Yuugi by his side, and only his side.
There was one place left to look, the Domino Arcade. But he doubted that Yuugi would be in such a social place. (No offence to Yuugi, he thought.) Besides it was way too over crowded and would make anyone claustrophobic.
Upon entering the arcade Yami and Marik were engulfed by smoldering heat, their eyes scanning for any sign of the Yuugi and the Bakura look-alike, to no avail. So they, instead, began to walk, or rather, push and shove their way around the room, finally stopping at the prominent DDR game. And between the small crowd that had gathered to watch two dancers play the game stood Yuugi and a boy slightly taller than him, talking to Katsuya Jounouchi, an amateur bully, and a girl with waist-length auburn hair and dull green eyes.
The two boys approached them, Yami trying to look as though he had suddenly spotted Yuugi and not stalked him there. And obviously Yuugi felt his stare because the innocent youths face immediately lit up happily and signaled for him to come over.
Yami smiled as he walked towards the minute teen. Marik was staring avidly at the white haired boy. I knew it! The Egyptian blond thought. He's almost exactly like Yuugi. Pure and untainted. ((AN: Untainted my ass, he's just as perverted as Marik is, and that's saying a lot.))
"Hi, Yuugi" Yami said cheerfully smiling lovingly at him. For some reason, the mere sight of the untainted angel made him ecstatic.
"Hello Yami." Replied Yuugi, bashfully, slight pink tinting his cheeks, but it wasn't noticeable due to the lights that were flashing, giving the illusion that his skin was changing colors.
Ryou was glaring daggers at Yami, but the ruby-eyed boy ignored it and went back to talking to Yuugi as if it were only him and Yami, the way the tall troublemaker wanted. Also this gave Marik a chance to speak to Ryou.
"Uh, hi." He said uncertainly as Yami stole Yuugi away.
Ryou seemed infuriated by Yami's action. "Hullo." He mumbled in an annoyed fashion.
This isn't going anywhere, I can tell.
"What's your name" The basic 'what's your name' approach always worked.
"Ryou."
Marik smiled. Ryou, what a beautiful name. Dragon, that's what it meant. He was starting to like this boy more and more. He would defiantly have to talk to him outside the loudness of the accursed arcade.
"I'm Marik."
Ryou nodded and tore his gaze away from Marik and back to Yami and Yuugi who were now stepping on to the DDR platform. Ryou just had to smile. Another chance to watch Yuugi sweat. Marik scowled. He liked it when Ryou's attention was solely on him. But obviously the shorter boy was more interested in what went up on stage, rather than him.
Yuugi stepped on the platform until his chose a song. Yami was waiting patiently as Yuugi selected. The song was called Dream a Dream (I think that's what it's called.)
The song started. It was up beat, and hard to keep up with. Left, left, front, left, right, left back. And the shorter boy was doing it very well.
Dream a dream
If you take me in your dream
Take me anywhere you please
Boy you're making me scream
Still trying to keep up and focus his vision on the screen and not the multi-colored flashing lights, Yuugi moved his feet non stop, panting and breaking out into another sweat. He took his eyes off the screen for a brief second and placed them onto Yami's dancing, leather-clad form. The tall teen was also panting. What ever part of his slightly tan skin could be seen glistened with sweat and the multi colored lights, his ruby eyes intently focused on the screen, his thin pink lips were slightly moist and slightly parted. The leather attire clung to his body like a second skin, hugging all the right curves. Just one glance Yuugi noticed all of these details, nearly stumbling over his still rapidly moving feet.
Dream a dream
If you take me in your dream
Take me anywhere you please
Boy you're making me scream
It took Yuugi a few steps before he got it together again. The song was almost ending and for that the minute teen was grateful. It was feeling very hot right now, and Yuugi would have loved nothing more than to take of his shirt and run outside to the slightly-cooler-outdoors. May weather was almost always unbearable.
Oooh la la la la
You gotta dream a little dream
The song ended and Yuugi immediately hopped off, undoing the first four buttons of his school blouse. He felt two pairs of eyes on him. Yami's and Ryou's. Once again, innocent, naive Yuugi brushed it away like a bothersome fly.
Although that didn't stop Ryou and Yami's stares. Ryou contained himself from drooling and Yami did all in his power to keep from jumping on the naive boy. But Yuugi just looked so fucking inviting! Just sitting on the chair that was leaning against a wall near the DDR stage, fanning himself vigorously, eyes closed, and lips parted, his pink tongue sticking out a bit. What was seen of his chest was sweat drenched. What the two wouldn't do to feel that porcelain skin of their lips, skin that made silk feel like sheep wool. Marik wasn't taking any notice of Yuugi, but Ryou's reaction.
Holy fucking Ra! What the hell does Yuugi think he's doing? Damn he's fucking hot.
Yami friend desperately to wet his dry mouth, why was Yuugi torturing him so?
Marik glared. Ryou was staring open-mouthed at Yuugi. So Ryou's likes the runt. I've got an idea. Ryou will be mine!
"Ryou"
Ryou jumped at looked at Marik innocently through thick, black lashes and deep chocolate eyes. Marik stared for a split second at Ryou's natural beauty, but then cleared his throat.
"Um- I was wondering if you'd like to go somewhere with me this weekend. I'd like to get to know you better." In so many more ways that you know.
Ryou looked mildly surprised. He stayed silent for a minute, considering his obviously very few options.
"I was thinking of asking Yuugi to go to the movies with me, but you can come if you want." Ryou offered.
Awww shit. Yami's runt is going to be there? Well, screw it, at least Ryou said I could come along, and that's probably as good as it gets, right now.
"Sure." Said the blond Egyptian, but he couldn't help feeling somewhat disappointed.
Yami seemed to come to his senses when Yuugi told him he was going outside for some fresh air.
"I'll come with you" Yami said a little too enthusiastically, but Ryou didn't notice leaving. Marik had him in a very interesting conversation about Duel Monsters.
Yuugi inhaled as he walked outside. Inside the arcade the air was so hot and stuffy that it was hard to breath, but now he could breathe normally. As could Yami. Well not really. Seeing Yuugi stretch making his shirt come up, revealing some more pale skin that had made Yami's breath hitch. He swore that the three fates and Ra were working together to make him explode from unfulfilled desire by Yuugi. What did he do in his past lives to deserve this?
Soon Yuugi announced that he was ready to go back to the packed arcade. Yami wasn't, but he'd follow Yuugi any where he went. They were somewhere far from the DDR game, where Marik and Ryou still chatted away merrily about stuff the white-hair boy and Yuugi had talked about, well except the fantasy book part. The two look-alikes kept walking until a game took Yami's attention.
"Wanna play a game of table hockey" He suggested.
Yuugi smiled and nodded happily.
Taking the southern end of the game bored, Yuugi grabbed the orange puck and threw it at the other end of the table to Yami, who blocked it quickly. The ruby-eyed teen had fast reflexes, Yuugi noted.
Back and forth, back and forth...and so on. This game probably wasn't going to end soon. Yuugi was probably the champ of table Hockey. The two boys were tied six to six.
"SCORE! I win" Yuugi exclaimed, throwing his arm in the air. Yami smiled.
"Congratulations, you beat me. No one's ever beaten me at a game before."
Yuugi blushed and an awkward silence followed. Yami rubbed the back of his neck.
"Wanna go back outside" He asked hopefully.
Yuugi nodded and began to walk outside with Yami at his heels.
The cool evening air hit Yuugi's still damp chest, making the small boy shiver and button up his blouse again. The sky had lost it's baby blue color, and had changed to an orange with golden fluffy clouds, and a purple tinge higher up the sky, when a few faint stars were twinkling dully, they were dimmed even more by the bright glow of the city lights. But still the sight was beautiful.
"Yuugi"
Yuugi jumped and turned around. Ryou was running up to him, smiling, with Marik at his heels.
"Kon'nichiwa, Ryou-chan. Sorry, I forgot you were with me, for a second." Yuugi apologized.
Ryou shrugged. "It's okay, no biggy." He looked at the sky. "We should get going. It's getting dark."
Yuugi nodded and began walking west in the direction of the Kame Game Shop. Ryou ran after him.
"I'll go with you."
Yuugi smiled. "Thanks."
Ryou fumbled with the hem of his shirt. "So why do you like hanging out with Moto"
Yuugi shrugged. "He's cool, but were just mere acquaintances"
Ryou nodded in relief. "That's cool."
Yami: waterfall tears Nooooooooooooooo! Why do you have to be so mean! chases after Neko with a plastic mallet
Neko: ahhhhh! GOMEN GOMEN GOMEN!
Ryou: holding Yuugi's hand
Yuugi: blush
Yami: growls Mine! attacks Ryou
Bakura: These people are crazier than me, so review again for this chapter. AND TELL THE PEOPLE THEY WANT TO SEE MORE OF MEEEE!
Neko: tackles Bakura Narcissist. Oh! And before I forget still wrestling the nut case I will post every time I get 5 reviews, just to know that the story is being read.
