Chapter Fifteen: No Sleep Tonight
The moon's natural light shone down on out heroes, danced across the Cimmerian Sea and amazing on goers with its earthy glow. There our heroes, the Pokemon trainers, climbed up the side of Yu Yao castle. Why were they battling such an obstacle? Well…
"Why did they have to go upstairs?" Ash asked, grabbing onto the vines that grew on the side of the palace. The others were close behind him, following the path Ash had set them.
"Why don't we just sneak in and disguise ourselves? That would be less trouble." Ella suggested.
"Yeah, but what if we got caught? That would change history, which could change the future. If you want to keep things the same in out time, do not interfere! Or get caught, wearing modern clothes." Misty explained. "Besides, where we would we find any costumes?"
"Eh… borrow them?" Ella asked, shrugging her shoulders.
"I don't know what you guys are complaining about! I love climbing!" Sedmet grinned, jumping ahead of the group.
"Yeah, I wonder why?" Gary asked sarcastically. "Maybe it's because, YOU'RE A CAT!"
"I'm a lion, not a cat! Besides, it's harder to climb in human form you know!" Sedmet replied, with his nose in the air. Gary rolled his eyes and continued to climb.
"If I had my pan I could have knocked out the guards! My poor, poor pan. I WILL FIND YOU! WHERE EVER YOU ARE!" Brock shouted to the rooftops!
"AND WE WILL BRING YOU HOME! TO YOUR NICE, SAFE KITCHEN!" Tracey roared out. Brock and Tracy embraced one another, but without their arms to secure themselves to the walls, they fell to the ground… "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"¬.¬ they really loved that pan, didn't they?" May said.
"¬.¬ what gave you that impression?" Max asked sarcastically. A loud could be heard and someone screaming 'ow' was followed by it.
Everyone eventually reached to the first floor windows, peeking into the dining room where the watched were feasting on their supper. The taste of the food swirled in everyone's mouths and light conversations filled the room, shooting back and forth the dining table. Well… not everyone was engaging in on the fine food and amicable discussions. It was two young simpletons in the fields of emotion that were in their own worlds.
Yami and Shinju could do nothing but play with their food and daydream of the object of their confusions.
"Shinju, eat up your food my dear, it will keep up your strength. I don't want you catching your death during next week's raining season." Madame Shui lectured sweetly but sternly.
"Yes mother." The little girl replied dully. Shinju let her azure eyes scope the room onto any random object, weather it was her mother trying to get Hikaru to eat his vegetables or Onyx eyeing up one of the maids. But this time her eyes set on a head of tri-coloured hair. It was the Pharaoh's son, Prince Yami Atemu. Why was she staring at the prince?
"Eat your dinner my son, we do not want to offend our hosts." Pharaoh Akunaumhanon said, with a gentle smile.
"Oh, sorry Father, I guess my mind is in other places…" Prince Yami said. Akunaumhanon nodded and went back to conversing with Lord Rong, on his old war stories.
Yami went back to his thoughts and let them explore the room. A giggle escaped his lips when he saw Hikaru and Mana were fussing about eating their vegetables. But he raised his eyes in disgust when he saw Onyx trying to look up at one of the poor maid's dress. But Akilah put his in order and whacked him gently behind the head. Yami nearly burst out laughing, but he had to be on his best behavior. But any outburst was stifled when he saw a pair of blue eyes staring back into his crimson ones.
Wasn't that the girl he said was pretty?
She's not THAT pretty… she's quite plain actually. But… there's something about her… Yami thought, with a blush spreading across his cheeks. But those blue eyes are beautiful… WHA? Why am I thinking that kind of stuff?
Shinju noticed the heir to Egypt was looking back at her, so she turned away, crimson spreading to her cheeks.
"My goodness, your cheeks are burning!" Madame Shui gasped, holding her daughter's chin gently, to look at her face. The caring mother placed her palm on Shinju's forehead. "You don't seem to be running a fever…"
"Oh mother!" Shinju snapped, moving her head away. If her blush could become redder, it was as red a sun dried tomatoes.
"Hmm… I suppose you won't need a visit to the doctors…" Madame Shui followed the gaze of her daughter and it landed on Yami. The little boy noticed this, panicking for a place to hide; he took the tablecloth and put it over his head! Earning a few weird glances. But Shinju burst into giggles, making more people face fault, well only the residents who lived here. Never had they heard the quiet little girl laugh in public. Yami smiled, he didn't know why, but he smiled. Had he gotten the girl to notice him?
Was that why he that goofy smile spread across his face? Perhaps… but Prince Yami would never admit it. Being as stubborn as he was. But soon to take away the bloom of… new feelings in the air, Hikaru laughed so hard he wasn't the only one who knocked a few things on the table. He had the tablecloth tucked into his shirt and nearly fell back onto the floor, if his father hadn't caught him. Pretty soon all the food and drinks were mixed to make a disgusting meal. It was just yummy… note the sarcasm.
"Oh by the heavens!" Madame Shui gasped, cleaning her son's face. "My dear, please help me clean Hikaru."
"Yes sweetheart. Please excuse me everyone, I will be back shortly…" Lord Rong picked up his son and followed his beloved wife. "Yami, what happened?" His father asked, cleaning his son's stained face. "Umm… I… Well Madame Shui saw me staring at her daught-Ah!" Yami cut himself off, covering his mouth. "Staring at her daughter?" Akunaumhanon finished for Yami. He leaned in closer so only his son could hear what he was about to say. "Do you have a little crush on that Shinju girl?" "OoO NO! I don't like girls! Well except for maybe Mana, she's Ok, but other girls, blergh!" Yami grimaced. This made Akunaumhanon smile, patting his son on the back."You think that now, but wait till you're older… you'll understand." Yami blinked. What on Earth was his father talking about? Akunaumhanon winked at him and went off to help Mahado to get Mana to eat her veggies. Prince Atemu leaned his head on his right hand and sighed. He just embarrassed himself in front of several people and his father. Great... Just great…
But just as Yami was going to wash the mess on his robes, his eyes caught something. It was the image of that girl. The one he was looking at. She was smiling at him! And not the kind as if she was about to laugh at him. It was friendly. All of Yami's embarrassed and humiliated feelings were gone, and replaced by the tingling in his tummy.
"Hello." She said.
"Uh… hi." Yami shyly turned away, not wanting to look at Shinju properly, encase he would blush. He coughed, "Do you know where the rest room his?" Shinju nodded.
"I'll take you there." Shinju offered, turning on her heel. "This way…" and so the little Yami followed her. Leaving some gob smacked faces at the window.
"I don't get it!" Ash grumbled. "They're being so nice! Why aren't they fighting yet?"
"Just be patient Ash. They've got to start sooner or later…" Misty said.
"Or a couple of years later. Who knows how long it took for them to become enemies?" Brock asked. "We could be stuck here for days! Maybe months!"
"And we can't watch them all the time! We need to sleep and eat too." Sedmet pointed out. Misty sighed; it was time to reason with her impatient friends.
"Look guys, I need this clue badly, if you stay with me I'll be grateful." Misty said. All the faces stared at her, obviously hinting something. The redhead rolled her eyes and growled, "And I'll owe you a favor."
"Cool!" Everyone grinned. "What are friends for?"
"WHOOT! WE GET TO STAY UP ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL NIGHT!" Max cheered.
"SHHHHH! They'll hear us!" Everyone chided, looking back inside the window. Too bad they did not look up to see what was watching over them.
"Takumi, how long are we gonna have to stay here?" Yukiko whined to his older brother.
"As long as it takes, now shush! We have to stay awake and spy on those brats! When they go to sleep, we go to sleep!" Takumi snapped, never tarring his beady eyes away from his prey.
"But they could stay up all night! All week even!" Yukiko exclaimed. "You know how much energy kids have these days…"
"We're just going to grin and bear it! So shut up!" Takumi growled, hitting his brother on the back of his head.
"Ow! I hate when you're mean to me!" Yukiko squealed, holding the back of his head.
"Stop whining you baby!" Takumi grabbed a stone, and aimed it to hit his brother, but instead it flew across the beach in Yu Yao and hit a certain tri-coloured ex pharaoh. (A.N: It's not Akunaumhanon or chibi Yami. For the rest of the chapter I'll call little Yami, Chibi Yami/Atemu or Prince Yami/Atemu, so no one gets confused. Ok?)
"Argh! Son of a jackal!" Yami screamed, as the pebble hit his head. The only reason he didn't swear was because he didn't want to in front of little, innocent, swear free Yugi.
"Are you all right Yami?" Yugi asked worriedly.
"No, I am fine aibou. Something just hit my head, I don't know what though." Yami said, looking at his surroundings with a questionable expression.
"Hey, Yami…"
"Yes?"
"Do you recognize those people? Climbing on the side of that castle?" Yugi said slowly. Yami turned around gasped at the sight. There were the Pokemon trainers, on the side of a castle! What were they doing there!
"OH MY RA! HOW DID THEY GET HERE?" Yami screamed loud enough for even the whole castle to hear! And that was something. All of the other teens turned around to look down at the hikari and yami with wide eyes.
"Hey! It's Yugi and Yami!" Ash yelled at the top of his voice! And he started waving his arms like a maniac. "What are you guys doing here?"
"Ash! Don't let go of the railing!" Ella screamed, but it was too late. Ash lost his footing; Misty tried to grab the capped crusader along with everybody else, bit it was in vain. And it caused them to fall of the building too! They flew off like a paper bag caught in the wind! And you know how hard they are to catch! Well… the guys weren't like that… except for the catching part…
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" They all screamed. Falling was becoming one of their favorite hobbies… not. "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"
It was lucky the gardens were littered with plants, ferns and bushes, or our heroes might have not survived. But they did manage to get a few thorns in their butts… unfortunately for two people; they ended up landing in a much more inconvenient place.
"OH MY RA!"
"LOOK OUT!" Ash screamed at Yami, but before he could get out of the way, Ash used him as a nice cushion so he could land softly. He sat on Yami's back, crushing the poor pharaoh. "Hehe, thanks Yami!"
"ARGH!" Yami growled, trying to heave Ash off him. "GET OFF ME! YOU'RE BREAKING MY BACK! YUGI, HELP ME!"
"Hold on aibou!" Yugi yelled. "I'll lift him off you!" But Yugi was about to have his own problems. Just not the same kind that Yami had…
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" A girlish scream could be heard heading towards Yugi, before Yugi could even turn to look at the hurtling object, it smashed into him, sending him flying far away from the group. With poor Yami still crushed under Ash's weight, leaving Ella to rescue Yami… and Ash, from the angry pharaoh.
"YOU'RE DEAD!" Yami screamed, with Ella holding Ash by the hand while running and screaming. Yami kept a hand on his sore back while waving about a wooden stick, which was his choice of weapon. "BY RA'S MUMMIFIED SOUL, YOU'RE DEAD!"
"EEP! Pikachu! Give a thunder shock! Oh no! I forgot him back at the library! DAMN!" Ash wailed, dodging a hit from Yami's stick.
"Sparkscat is back there too! OH NO! I CAN'T BELIEVE I LEFT HER WITH THAT PERVERT!" Ella screamed.
"HEY! PIKACHU IS DEBONAIR! LIKE ME! NOT PERVY! Well… he is a little bit, but in a charming way!" Ash said in Pikachu's defense.
"¬.¬ Really?" Ella said shaking her head. "Like master, like Pokemon…" So Ella and Ash kept running from Yami, while the others tidied themselves off from the annoying plants. In the corner was where Yugi and someone else laid on the grass…
His violet eyes blinked open and were met with a pretty pair of azure ones staring into his. He blushed at the realization that reached him. There was Misty, looking down at him, gob smacked and her cheeks burning. And she was lying on top of Yugi, with his hands placed on her hips, both their breaths' hitching. Yugi didn't know weather if he felt desire or pure embarrassment. Misty was clueless too. She had to get off of Yugi! Before something happened! Now she didn't know Yugi that well… but she was sure he wasn't the kind of guy that would kiss you out of no where. But it was better to be safe then sorry.
Misty jumped off Yugi as quickly as she could, with as much dignity as possible. Too bad she fell on her behind the instant she got off of Yugi.
"Hehe, sorry Yugi, I guess I have to watch where I land in future…" Misty apologized, scratching the back of her neck. That comment made her blush redden, sending dirty thoughts to her head.
"No, no, it's fine. No harm, no foul." Yugi laughed sheepishly, that never-ending blush never leaving his face. Except maybe to my virgin mind… Yugi thought to himself. Misty offered her hand and Yugi took it, and he was again on his feet. "Thanks." He said. If his face wasn't beet red before, it was now. So was Misty's!
"UM! A LITTLE HELP!" Ash screamed, running to where Yugi and Misty were, Ella not trailing far behind. Ash jumped behind Misty and gripped on her shoulders. "MISTY! Protect me!" Ash squealed. "If you hit me! You'll be hitting the girl!" Ash warned. Yami stopped in his tracks. He was powerless to do anything, since he would NEVER hurt a girl, unless it was necessary.
"Using a woman for your own protection!" Yami growled. Ash giggled sheepishly, as Yami calmed down.
"Haha, I would risk Misty or any girl to protect myself! I was just using that tactic to calm you down and stop being mad at me!" Ash grinned. Yami's fist curled into a ball and a low hiss emitted under his breath.
"ARGH!" Yami growled. "You better run…" Soon that chasing began again, with Ash running for his life, running like hell!
"¬.¬ Men." Ella and Misty sighed, while Yugi just shook his head, giggling at the antics of the yami and pokemon master. Misty took note of this, blushing at the thoughts in her mind… He's got such a cute laugh… What! Why am I thinking that? I sound like a stupid schoolgirl! I don't have a crush on Yugi! I don't have a crush on Yugi!
"Hey, Misty, what's wrong? Your face is red!" Ella gasped. "Are you sick Misty! Do you have a fever Misty! Please be OK!" Ella squealed tugging onto Misty.
"Ah! Ella, I'm fine!" Misty yelped, almost falling backwards. Ella blinked twice and beamed.
"Oh! Yay!" She cheered, strangling a screaming Misty with another hug. Yugi sweat dropped at the lioness, but liked seeing the closeness between the two.
Hehe, those two are cute together. But Misty is cuter… HUH! W-Why did I think that? Yugi gasped.
"Yugi, what's the matter?" Yugi snapped from his thoughts at the angelic voice that haunted him in his dreams. For at least the hundredth time in Yugi's life, he was speechless. But he wasn't in front of an entire classroom of students or a entire arena of duelists… he was just talking to Misty… his crush. Though HE would never admit it.
"N-nothing… it's nothing don't worry about it." Yugi smiled, while Misty mirrored his blithe façade. Ella blinked for the hundredth time that day. She looked at the glances Yugi and Misty were sending back to one another. Her eyes widened and she scratched her head.
Why are they looking at each other like that? Wait… they look familiar… don't I look at Ash in that way? Hmm… WAIT! I know what it is! It's… oh no, I lost it! Dang! And I was so close! Ella thought, narrowing her eyes.
"Hey sis, what are you glaring at?" Sedmet asked.
"Oh I lost another conclusion in my head!" Ella growled in frustration.
"Aww, don't worry sis, it will come to you." Sedmet said, putting a hand on Ella's shoulder. Before Ella could reply, the gang heard Yami and Ash screaming from far away. "Oh no…"
"They've probably beaten each other to a pulp by now." Brock said. Everyone followed the howling of Ash and Yami and it led them to a dark, damp looking cave. Soon two figures emerged from the deep tunnel; they were strange looking creatures…
"AH! MUTANT MONSTERS ARE HERE TO EAT US!" Max screamed hiding behind May.
"WE ARE DOOMED! DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!" Sedmet screamed, hiding behind his sister too. Ella and May both sighed, smacking their foreheads.
What did I do to deserve a brother like him? They sighed.
"Hey guys!" Ash smiled along side Yami, walking out the cave. Max and Sedmet sweat dropped and did a traditional anime fall. Nothing out of the ordinary there…
"Well I feel stupid." Sedmet grinned.
"You should." Max said.
"That means you feel stupid too, we both thought they were cannibal mutants." Sedmet pointed out. Ignoring the Max and Sedmet debate, the others went back to being normal… well… if you can call everything that's happened in this story so far, then yeah, it's normal.
"Hey guys! Yami and me found shelter!" Ash cheered.
"We can stay here tonight." Yami said.
"But why don't we just ask those people inside the castle if we can stay with them?" Yugi asked.
"Oh yeah, a couple of warriors are just gonna let a couple of strangers into their home! And they'll slice us a nice dinner! Which by the way would be, I don't know, MAYBE US!" Gary commented sarcastically. Misty glared at him and smacked him behind the head!
"SHUT UP GARY!" Misty screamed in his face. Her screeching made Gary's hair stand on end even more! "BE NICE!"
"Eeep!" Gary squeaked. Why is she being so nasty all of a sudden? I ALWAYS make sarcastic remarks at everyone! Especially Ash! Wait a minute… That's the guy Misty likes!
"Ok, I'll be nice to your boyfriend!" Gary grinned. Misty's mouth dropped to the floor and Yugi blush yet again, for the hundredth time.
"ARGH!" Gary was about to regret his smart comment. Whack! Misty had punched Gary! And given him a black eye! Aww… poor Gary...
"OW! My beautiful eyes!"
"Serves you right!" Misty growled.
Ella looked at Ash and then at Yami with a concerned look. Then back at Ash.
"You know what this means don't you?" She asked. Ash grinned in excitement,
"We get to make out!" Ash asked. Ella stared blankly at him, while Yami rolled his eyes.
"No Ash. That's not what I meant Ash." Ella sighed. "But maybe later Ok?" Yami rolled his eyes again and said,
"There will be no sleep tonight… I can guarantee that…"
