Me: Okay, I've been really really focused on my new stories that aren't even out yet... Thanks soooo much to Fallen who beta'd the first chapter of the next story which is to be a Christmas present to all of you (Though it may end up coming out long before Christmas.) ^w^ To my reviewers:
To Ern Estine 13624: I'm glad you're enjoying it ^w^

To blueeyesdarkmagic: XD I still haven't managed to get over there and read a story -.-' very disappointed with myself lately... Oh well! ^w^
To Amazon Huntress (Guest): Lemme see if I can answer all of your questions... Ummm, Bakura's feelings are going to begin to become evident. I planned on doing a chapter of him like I've been doing for Yami. That chapter was just kinda rushed because I had a busy week and needed to get that done. I've had yet another busy week this week, so it's really hard to remember what I'm doing. Heba and Atem actually aren't going to be in this one. I have used them in Kotonaru and the Puzzled series though. I do use them though, just not as much as Yami and Yugi. Don't apologize, always happy to answer questions ^w^
To v flower: XD Isn't he though ^w^
To Inori no Uta: Not yet ^w^
To Eschatology: You'll find out in.. I dunno how many chapters XD But soon ^w^
To Fluffy Plushie: XD His secret isn't safe :P Lol ^w^
To Mirai Panda: Not quite yet... But in the near future yes ^w^
I do not own YGO nor anything pertaining to YGO. Enjoy ^w^
I apologize if this ^w^ is getting on anyone's nerves... That face is a sign to me that that review was completely answered to or that I was done with that paragraph. So I apologize if anyone gets annoyed by it ^w^
The Darkest Light
Chapter 14
Please
Yami walked in circles inside the school. He turned left, heading down yet another hallway. His current mission? He was embarrassed to admit it, but he'd forgotten. 'Damn' he thought to himself for what seemed like the millionth time that day. "Today is just not my day" he sighed aloud.
"Hey stranger!" Yugi chirped, popping up beside him.
"Holy RA!" Yami yelped, stumbling backward and falling on his butt.
Yugi giggled as Yami hit the ground "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you." He reached his hand out and took Yami's hand, pulling him up from the ground. "What are you doing? This isn't the way to your classroom."
"Well.." Yami said sheepishly, not wanting to admit that he had forgotten exactly what he was looking for.
Yugi couldn't stop the smile that slowly spread across his face. "Did.. you.. for.. get?" He asked, sounding out each syllable so as not to embarrass Yami.
The older sighed, his head hanging in defeat. He slowly looked up, catching sight of his target as he did so. "Just remembered!" He shouted as he ran forward "I'll catch you at lunch!"
The shorter giggled as he watched him run off, shaking his head while rolling his eyes playfully. "He didn't admit that he forgot" Ryou chuckled, walking up behind him with Bakura at his side.
"He so forgot" Bakura chuckled.
"Definitely" Yugi agreed with a smile.
Yami ran after the other student, trying his best to catch him before he was caught running in the hallway. The boy finally stopped, sensing someone following him as he turned around. Yami skidded to a halt, narrowly avoiding colliding with the boy.
"Hey" he greeted awkwardly as the cold blue eyes stared at him.
"What?" He practically spat, clearly annoyed at the younger one's shenanigans.
"I-I wanted to ask you something..." Yami trailed off, nervous that he had crossed some sort of line.
"Well" Seto urged him on, not wanting to waste anymore of his precious time.
"Can you teach me how to fight? Teach me everything I need to know so I can protect my friends and family?"
The older teen sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose in annoyance. "How much do you actually know?"
"I don't know anything. About myself or fighting. All I know is basic stuff, but you seem to know a lot more."
Again Seto sighed, closing his eyes as he shook his head. "Only because I don't want to keep chasing you down to protect you. Meet me on the front steps after school."
"Really?"
"Yeah. And one other thing."
"Hm?"
"What the hell is that?"
Yami followed Seto's finger to the bracelet around his right ankle. "I'm kinda on house arrest for breaking a kid's hand. I didn't even know I did it. He threatened Yugi, and I went after him. Apparently I lost control and broke his hand."
"So it was you who was fighting with Ushio then?"
"Yeah."
"And judging by the closed up cut on your leg, I'd say it was you who saved that kid from falling off the rock wall too."
"You have a keen eye for observation" Yami chuckled.
"In my line of business it's necessary."
Yami raised a brow but at the sound of first bell decided not to question it. "Gotta go!" He yelped, turning and sprinting for his first class.
"Hey Yami" Marik waved as he ran by.
"Hey Marik, can't talk. Gotta go. Later!"
Marik and Malik exchanged glances before looking back at where their friend had just sprinted around the corner. "That was odd" Malik observed.
"Nah, it's a typical Yami thing" Marik snorted, shaking his head before walking forward, stopping only when they arrived at Malik's class.
Yami skidded to a halt outside of his classroom, almost toppling over his brother in the doorway. "Where the hell did you go?"
"Nowhere. Why?"
Bakura's eyelids lowered in a state that said he didn't believe his brother for a minute. "You're lying."
"We really don't have time to discuss this. Just go sit down."
The elder brother growled, but went to sit down nonetheless. The teacher walked in a few minutes later and class began.
The rest of the day went by pretty quickly, Yami felt like he was asleep with how fast it flew by. He was now walking side by side with Yugi on their way out the doors. "Hey, where'd 'Kura go?" He asked, looking around and realizing his brother wasn't there next to him.
"He said he was going back for Ryou, to go on ahead home" Yugi told him, raising his brow a little at the teen next to him. "Are you okay? You've barely heard a word all day."
"Sorry" Yami chuckled sheepishly "Guess I'm just distracted."
"Did you remember what you were looking for this morning?"
"Yeah. I found him."
"Him?" Yugi asked, turning his attention back to Yami and raising a brow as they stopped.
"Yeah. Seto. The guy that helped us out and showed me those moves. I went to talk to him." Yami turned quickly to Yugi, placing his hands on the smaller's shoulders to get his full attention "You can't tell 'Kura though! If he knew about any of this he'd kill me."
"Okay. But what are you planning?" The younger teen asked, his violet eyes shimmering with worry.
"Relax. He's just gonna teach me how to fight, so I can protect you guys."
Yugi's eyelids lowered in an incredulous look at his his friend. "You're an idiot."
"How am I an idiot? You saw those things same as I did!"
"Violence isn't always the answer!"
"Sometimes it is! It's not like those things were going to let us live!"
Yugi shook his head sadly, placing a gentle hand on Yami's shoulder. "Just don't die" he said quietly before walking away.
Yami felt a pain in his chest, watching as the younger teen walked away. "Hey dip shit" a voice called behind him, causing him to forget the pain for the time being.
"Hey Seto" he sighed.
"Let's get going. First, we go to your house and take that thing off" Seto said, annoyance lacing his tone.
"Um.. I can't take it off..."
"Yes you can. Just follow my instructions."
Yami sighed, hoping he wouldn't get in trouble for whatever Seto had planned. "Alright. I trust you."
Me: Okay, and with that I'm ending that chapter there ^w^ Hope you all enjoyed, until next time ladies and gents! *waves* Goodbye!
