Now in this chapter the song is not going to have the same speed as the song in the movie. It'll be a more slow and soft music that you would hear at a slow dance at a prom, homecoming, wedding, etc. Anyway enjoy!
Chapter 5
Love is an Open World
At the castle, in the audience room that appears to be the inside of a church, the chorus in the above balcony sing the ceremonial song for the coronation as Yami stands before the bishop with Yugi off to the side and every single guest sitting in the benches set behind the alter. Taking the crown, the bishop waits for Yami to lean his head down just enough for him to place the crown in his hair since the tri-tips are held back with a black hair tie.
With the crown set, the bishop holds out the pillow with the two sacred items set. Reaching for them, Yami hears the bishop clear his throat, causing him to look at him. "Your majesty, the gloves." Understanding what he meant, Yami slowly but nervously remove the gloves, places them on the pillow before shakingly taking the sacred items into his hands.
As he slowly turns toward the audience, the bishop began the crowning prayer with everyone standing out of their seats. Keeping a straight face, Yami glances at his hands to see the embers slowly form. Luckily the bishop has almost finished with the prayer, So Yami quickly replaces the items back on the pillow and putting the gloves back on to stop the fires from seeping out of his hands. As everyone call out his new title as King of Domino, Yami faces everyone again, now more calm.
Later that night, everyone is now in the throne room with the band playing music and many couples dancing to the great music while many other guests laugh and chat amongst themselves until a guard sounded a trumpet that silenced the music. Standing just beside the thrones, Tristan announces Yami's entrance before announcing Yugi's entrance with the two standing beside each other with every single guest applauding and bowing to the King and Prince.
Clearing his throat as everyone stood straight, Yami starts his first speech as king that also included the special announcement. "First off I want to thank everyone for attending my coronation. Now before the ball begins, I have an announcement that has been waiting to be made for this night.
"Before my parents' death, my father had informed me that he, my mother and the King and Queen of Tokyo had thought of a plan that will join our kingdoms. They had planned for Prince Yugi and I to be betrothed by the time we both became sixteen."
This announcement had a few party guest cheer. He had heard this announcement from his mother one week before she and his father had left with Valon and Mai for their journey that became the end of the four royals so Yugi isn't surprised like their guests. But to hear it from Yami caused a slight blush to form on his cheeks.
However, from within the crowd, a pair of turquoise green eyes behind a pair of red glasses flashed with anger for a moment as the owner pretended to be cheering along with the other guests.
"But now that our parents are gone, we both hope that our union will be a joyous one for us and our kingdoms and will satisfy their spirits. And now, I hope everyone enjoys tonight." With that, the band started playing different music with the guests either dancing or hanging off to the side with Yami and Yugi both noticing Tristan lead Tea onto the dance floor and Duke bring a maid with long auburn hair and lovely green eyes, Serenity, close to him as they dance to the beautiful, slow music.
Now that they are alone as they watch everyone enjoy themselves, Yami glances over at Yugi and says softly with a smile on his face, "Hi."
To hear him finally speak to him after years of being apart, Yugi faces Yami with the blush finally gone now that the announcement is over. "Oh um, hi Yami."
"You look handsome tonight."
"Thanks, but you're more handsome."
"Thank you." and then the two looked back at the whole room to see everyone enjoying themselves, especially Tristan, Tea, Duke and Serenity. The two have been good friends with those four as they were growing up and knew that they are very happy with the ones they had a crush on for a long time and are now together.
After watching their friends and the guests having a great time for a few minutes, Yami looks back towards Yugi, smiling at him as he just continue with watching everyone else. Just as he is slowly raising his hand to caress the side of Yugi's face, he froze and quickly hid his hand behind his back when they heard Tristan's father, the old butler since his son is occupied with dancing with his sweetheart, appears before the two and says, "Your majesty, it is now time for you two to dance to celebrate your engagement."
"Thank you, Julian." Yami says gently.
Looking out towards the dance floor, Yugi finally noticed that the music had stopped for a while and every couple that were dancing had stepped off to the side, allowing them to have the floor. Now that everything is set for their dance, Yami offers his hand to Yugi and says, "May I have this dance?"
Slipping his hand into his, Yugi says happily, "I would gladly give to my king." And so, Yami leads Yugi onto the very middle of the dance floor, bringing him close. Seeing the two singers now ready to begin, Yami and Yugi begin to dance to the soft music that began.
All my life has been
A great world that's shut me out
And then suddenly
I bump into you
This first singer began to sing softly to the music the band is playing.
I've been searching my whole life
To find my own place
And maybe it's the party talking
Or the endless sweets
As the second singer begin to sing with his partner, Yami and Yugi think back to their childhood, when they were once the best of friends as they sway to the song. How happy they were when they were together back then.
But with you
But with you I found my place
I see your face
And it's nothing like
I've ever known before
Love is an open
World!
Love is an open
World!
Love is an open world
With you
With you
With you
With you
Love is an open world
As they dance along, imagining that they are the only ones in the whole world, Yami whispers to Yugi as he brings him even closer, "I missed you, my aibou."
Smiling at his words, Yugi whispers back as he pulls Yami's face closer so their foreheads were touching, "I missed you too, my mou hitori no boku." As far as Yugi knows, having Yami beside him made Yugi feel complete, the hole that had first formed when he had started to avoid him has filled up in his heart.
I mean, it's insane
What?
We finish each other's
Sentences
I've never met someone
Who thinks so much like me
Our mental synchronization
Can only have one explanation
You
And I
Were just
Meant to be
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
To the pain of the past
We don't have to feel it anymore
As the singers near the end of the song, a question pops into Yugi's head. As much as he hates to ruin the perfect moment the have, curiosity was getting the better of him. "Yami?"
"Yes aibou?"
"Why did you start shutting me out when we were young?"
Before answering, Yami remain silent. Then he held Yugi much closer to whisper to him, "I'm afraid I can't answer that. Just for now, I want to enjoy it just being us here."
Feeling the same way, Yugi settles his curiosity and allow himself to being held by Yami, causing the ne king to plant a tender kiss on his forehead, saving the kiss on the lips for a much more special moment.
Love is an open world
Love is an open
World
Life can be so much more
With you
With you
Then Yami and Yugi end their dance with Yugi leaning his back against Yami's hard chest, both facing a window showing the full moon since the curtains were open enough to reveal the whole face. With their hands, Yugi and Yami form a heart shape around the full moon, creating a frame.
Love is an open
World
Taking Yugi's left hand with one hand while the other pulls out a small box from one of his pockets in his suit. Opening the box and taking out the engagement ring his father had given him before he left for his journey with just one hand, he slips the ring onto his wedding finger. To see the ring for the first time, Yugi smiles as he gazes back into Yami's eyes. Bringing his fingers to his lips, Yami gently kisses them before planting a deep kiss on Yugi's lips for the very first time.
As everyone in the throne room applaud for them and their friends cheer for them, Yami and Yugi remain where they stand, with Yugi simply letting Yami hold him close to his heart as his own flutter like a feather in a gentle breeze.
However, watching them from where she stands within the crowd, Rebecca becomes furious and begin to realize that she has to set her plan into action at once.
