As Yugi ran, he became blinded. Tears were seething out of his eyes. He began to pant heavily. His chest was rising and falling with each breath. He had no idea where he was headed, only that he needed to get away from Yami.
'Why does everyone have to force me into everything I do? Whether it be facing a shadow monster, or working in the shop.' Yugi thought as he began to slow down. He had run half a mile or so, before realizing that he was pretty far from home, standing in front of Kaiba's mansion.
'What am I doing here,' he thought.
Kaiba himself walked out of his mansion, head held high. He was wearing his usual black pants, black shirt and white gravity defying trench coat. He straightened his back more, if that was even possible. Then he strutted over to Yugi, who had finally stopped his blubbering, eyes now crimson.
"What are you doing on my property, you pompous wind bag. I thought I told you never to come to my home unless you truly needed me." He loomed over the smaller duelist, intense eyes glaring at him, burning through his delicate skin.
"I'm sorry Kaiba. I needed to get away from Yami, so I ran away from home. I had no idea where I was headed, so all I did was run. Sorry about ending up at your house."
Kaiba's response surprised Yugi more than anything. "Why don't you come in for a while? We can talk about this over tea, if you'd like."
"Sure Kaiba that would be immensely appreciated." Kaiba turned around and motioned for Yugi to follow him into the large mansion. Yugi soon found himself walking through several grand halls before entering the kitchen. And much to Yugi's dismay, Kaiba actually made the tea himself. For sure he would have maids? But alas, no, there were no maids, for Kaiba did not like people going through his stuff.
Kaiba brought over two steaming cups of raspberry tea. He handed over one cup to Yugi, before settling himself in a chair at the kitchen table.
The kitchen was painted a bright, but yet pale yellow, with a strip of wallpaper, adorned with spring flowers. There were new appliances fitted in there and the entire kitchen smelled of lilacs. The cabinets were wooden and had an old rustic look to them. They didn't really fit well with the rest of the room.
"So, Yugi, what seems to be the problem?"
Sorry it's so short everyone. I just haven't had much time lately, being in high school. Man, when will I ever have a break? Anyway, have a nice day.
