I didn't mention this before, but Heba will be Yugi's twin brother in this one, too. He makes an appearance later.
Now, on with the chapter.
Chapter 2- He what?!
Yami, Atemu, Kyla, and Sayora walked into the Game Shop after getting back from the mall.
Since it was late, Tea, Tristan, Joey, and Ryou went on home.
"That was an interesting day." Kyla said.
"How many times did Tea end up hating Joey?" Sayora asked.
"I lost count after seven." Atemu replied.
"I lost count after ten." Yami added.
"Well, he kept opening his big mouth and saying things about that rumor at school, and it made Tea upset." Kyla said.
Kyla and Sayora walked into the living room.
Atemu turned to Yami and said, "Yami, didn't Tea have a crush on you even when you and Yugi were still one?"
Yami nodded. "Yeah. A year ago, she came to me, told me that she was in love with me, and wanted to date me, but I didn't feel anything for her except for friendship. Tea was upset, of course, but she got over it. In fact, she's over that crush. She hasn't said anything, but I think that she likes Tristan." Yami said.
"I thought I noticed her looking at him like that, but with that rumor, I just ignored it." Atemu said.
"How long has that rumor been going on at school?" Yami asked.
"A few weeks. Why?" Atemu asked.
"Curious." Yami replied.
Atemu looked over Yami and said, "Yami, you're in love with someone, aren't you?"
Yami nodded. "Yeah. Tea's been trying to convince me to tell him, but I'm being stubborn. I don't want to ruin my friendship with him." Yami replied.
"It's Yugi, isn't it?" Atemu asked.
Yami looked at him in shock. "How did you know?"
"I saw how you would look at him. I thought you were until I heard those rumors. Why don't you tell him?" Atemu asked.
"I can't. Yugi's young and innocent, and if he didn't feel the same way, it would ruin our friendship." Yami said.
"Yami, do you really think that Yugi would hate you for loving you?" Atemu asked.
"No, not really." Yami replied, smiling a little at the thought of his Light.
"Yami, even if Yugi didn't feel the same way, he wouldn't care about you any less." Atemu said.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Yami agreed.
"Speaking of which, why didn't he go with us??" Atemu asked.
"I don't know. I know I didn't ask him." Yami said. He frowned. "Now that I think about, I haven't hung out with him in a few weeks." Yami said.
"I haven't either." Atemu realized.
Sayora poked her head out of the living room and said, "Yami, Atemu. Grandpa wants to talk to us."
The two walked into the living room and sat on the couch with Sayora.
Kyla was lounging in the armchair, and Leo sat in other armchair with Yuesei in his lap.
"What's going on?" Atemu asked.
"I was letting you know that I'm leaving Saturday to go visit a friend of mine in America for a month." Grandpa said.
"That's nice. You haven't seen him in a long time, have you?" Leo asked.
"No. It's been almost a year." Grandpa said. He looked at the teenagers and said, "Yami, Atemu. Will you two look after the Game Shop while I'm gone?" Grandpa asked.
"Of course we will, Grandpa" Atemu replied.
"Yugi will help, too. He's already agreed to it." Grandpa said.
"Where is Yugi at? Shouldn't he hear this?" Yami asked.
"I told Yugi earlier." Grandpa replied.
"I guess he's upstairs." Leo said.
"No, he's not. That's the other thing that I need to tell you." Grandpa said.
"Is something wrong?" Kyla asked.
"Yes. Yugi doesn't live here anymore." Grandpa said.
There was stunned silence followed by a collective "WHAT?!"
"What do you mean he doesn't live here anymore?" Yami demanded.
"Yugi talked to me earlier, and he told me that he decided to move in with Seto." Grandpa said.
"Seto? As in Seto Kaiba?" Atemu asked.
Grandpa nodded.
"Grandpa, why did Yugi move in with Seto?" Sayora asked.
"He wanted to. Yugi told me that he wasn't happy living here anymore and that he needed to get away. Seto offered to let him live in his mansion, and Yugi agreed to it." Grandpa explained.
"Why wasn't he happy?" Yuesei asked.
"That I do not know. Yugi never really elaborated, but I could tell from how he was acting that he really wanted to move in with Seto. Since he was unhappy, I felt that the best thing for him was to move in with Seto." Grandpa said.
"Do you think that was a good idea?" Atemu asked.
"Kaiba has been over here a lot lately, and I don't think that he has any underhanded intentions. The truth is that there's not much that we can do." Grandpa said.
"When did Yugi move in with him?" Kyla asked.
"This afternoon." Grandpa said before leaving the room.
"That was certainly unexpected." Leo said.
Yami stood up, and it was obvious that he was angry.
"Yami, what are you doing?" Atemu asked.
"I'm going to kill Seto and bring Yugi back here." Yami replied before storming out of the room.
Everyone was on their feet and after Yami.
"Yami, wait!" Atemu said, grabbing him by the arm and pulling Yami back so that he could get in front of the door.
"Get out of my way, Atemu." Yami said.
"No. You're upset, and I get that, but storming over to confront Seto is not going to help." Atemu said.
"Besides, from what Grandpa told, it sounded like Yugi made that choice on his own." Leo added.
"How could it be Yugi's choice? This does not sound like something Yugi would do." Yami said.
"He's right. This doesn't sound like Yugi at all." Sayora added.
"Look. We'll see Yugi at school tomorrow. We'll wait until then to talk to him. By then, you'll have calmed down some." Kyla said.
"You can find out everything then. For now, you all need to calm down. Getting angry will only cloud your judgment." Yuesei said.
"Fine." Yami said before going upstairs.
Atemu leaned against the door. "Well, at least we prevented Yami from going to jail for murder." Atemu said.
"I was more worried about Yugi. I think Yugi did go by his own will. His reasons are what I don't understand." Leo said.
"We'll find out tomorrow." Kyla said.
"Why was Yugi unhappy? Did we do something to upset him?" Sayora asked.
"I don't know. I guess that anything is possible." Leo said.
"Let's not assume anything. Yugi can tell us tomorrow." Kyla said.
"Let's go relax Tomorrow is going to be an interesting day." Atemu said.
Yami had changed into boxers and a white shirt.
"What is Yugi thinking? Why would he move in with Seto of all people?" Yami asked himself.
He let out a sigh as he sat down on his bed.
Yami glanced to his nightstand and picked a picture of himself and Yugi with the rest of the gang.
"What happened to us, Yugi? I don't know why I feel like we don't have any kind of relationship anymore. What came between us?" Yami asked.
Not knowing what else to do, Yami let the silent tears fall as he began to realize that there wasn't a chance that he'd ever be with Yugi.
"He what?!" Joey shouted.
Several students in the schoolyard looked over at where they were curiously.
"Joey, keep it down." Kyla pleaded.
"Keep it down. Yugi is living with Seto. How can I calm down from that?" Joey asked.
It was a known fact among them that Joey was in love with Seto, but chose not to do anything about it because it seemed like Seto hated him.
"We don't know the details yet. We haven't seen Yugi." Sayora said.
"Why didn't you go and get him last night?" Tristan asked.
"Because if we went last night, Yami would be in jail for murder." Atemu said, looking at Yami.
"Seto got him to move in somehow, and it had to be him because this is something that Yugi would not do without prodding." Yami said.
"Look. We told you because we want you there when we confront of him." Atemu said.
"Look." Tea said, pointing.
The group looked to see Seto's limo pull in front of the school. The door opened, and Seto climbed out with Yugi behind him.
"Should we confront him now?" Tea asked.
The bell rang then.
"It'll have to wait until break." Atemu replied.
The group headed into the building.
Seto's eyes narrowed at seeing the group. 'They're up to something. I know it.' He turned to Yugi and said, "Yugi, why don't you meet me on the roof at break? It's where I always go at break and lunch to get away from everyone."
Yugi looked up at him. "I usually just sit and work on my homework or read." Yugi said.
"You can do that with me. I just want to make sure that you're all right." Seto said.
"What's the real reason?" Yugi asked.
Seto sighed. "I know that Yami, Atemu, and the rest of their gang are going to try and get you to spill about why you decided to move in with me, and I don't want you to have to go through that alone. Especially with your condition." Seto said.
"Seto, it is under control. Dr. Conrad himself said that it was. You just want to find a reason to get into an argument with Yami, Atemu, or Joey, or possibly all of them." Yugi said.
Seto sighed. "I just want to be there if you need me. Okay?" Seto asked.
Yugi smiled. "Okay, Seto. I'll meet you on the roof. We won't cause much of a scene that way." Yugi agreed.
"Good. Now, get to class." Seto said.
Yugi laughed and went into the school building with Seto following him.
'This is not going to be pretty.' Seto thought.
Yugi walked out of his class and headed up the stairs to go to the roof. He found Seto already sitting with his laptop, typing furiously. "Can you not even leave your company alone when you're at school?" Yugi asked.
"No. I always do my work during break and lunch. It gives me the chance to go over a lot of figures and documents before I go into the office to deal with them." Seto replied, not looking up from his laptop or stopping.
Yugi sighed and sat down beside Seto before pulling out a book.
"What are you reading?" Seto asked.
"Some book for English. It's boring, though." Yugi said.
Seto was shocked that no one had come up here, but he expected it soon.
"Okay. We have looked all over for those Yugi, so where is he?" Joey asked.
"Maybe we're looking in the wrong place." Kyla said.
"What are you talking about?" Yami asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, Seto always spends break and lunch up on the roof. Probably foes work. I bet Yugi met him up there." Kyla said.
"Well, it can't hurt to look." Ryou said, who had been informed of the situation.
"Let's go." Atemu said.
The group started into the building to go to the roof.
"Why would Yugi want to be with that guy over all of us?" Tristan asked.
"That's something we'll just have to find out." Tea replied.
Yugi had just finished reading a chapter when he heard, "Yugi." Yugi looked up to see Yami, Atemu, Joey, Tristan, Tea, Ryou, Sayora, and Kyla standing there,
Seto shut his laptop and glared heatedly at the newcomers.
Yami ignored the look Seto was giving him and siad, "Yugi, we need to talk."
"Then talk." Yugi said.
"Alone." Yami said, glancing at Seto.
Seto stood up and said, "Anything that you have to say to Yugi you can say to me."
"This has nothing to do with you, moneybags, so just stay out of it." Joey barked.
"Be quiet, mutt. I'll be wherever I damn well please and there is nothing that you can do to stop me." Seto retorted.
"Seto, it's okay." Yugi said. He looked back at the gang and said, "You can either say what you have to with Seto here or not all."
Yami's expression showed that he didn't like it, but he let it go. "I want to know why you left home." Yami said.
"I left because I was unhappy at home. Seto offered to let me come live at the mansion and I accepted." Yugi replied.
"That doesn't explain it, though. Why were you unhappy?" Atemu asked.
"Those are my reasons, Atemu, and I don't want to explain them." Yugi said.
"You need tot ell us. We're you're friends." Tristan said a little angrily.
"Watch your tone. He's done nothing wrong, so don't go getting angry at him." Seto said.
"I thought I said for you to stay out of this." Joey said, raising his voice a little.
"Look! My reasons for leaving and being unhappy are my own. I don't have to explain everything to all of you. Seto offered to let me move in with him, and I accepted it. I am in no danger, and I have nothing wrong, so just stay out of it." Yugi said.
"Why didn't you talk to one of us? We would have helped." Yami said.
"Yami, you cannot fix every little thing that goes wrong in my life. None of you can. Just because something's wrong doesn't mean it can be fixed." Yugi said.
"You can at least talk to one of us about it." Atemu said.
"Sometimes, things need to be dealt with alone." Yugi said.
"Look. You need to tell us what is going on. We-" Yami started.
"Stop it, Yami!" Yugi shouted.
Everyone was stunned to silence because Yugi was known for raising his voice in such a way.
"I am not a child anymore, so stop treating me like one! I moved in with Seto, yes. I have my reason, yes. Are they your concern? No. My reasons are my own, and I don't have to tell anyone. You do not have to protect me anymore. I don't need it, so please just stay our of this. It's not your concern. It's no one's concern, but my own, so please mind your business, and pay attention to your own life. You have a second chance at life so use it, and stop trying to control mine." Yugi said.
Everyone, even Seto, was stunned at what Yugi had just said to them.
No one was more sunned than Yami. He couldn't believe that Yugi wanted him out of his life.
The bell rang.
"We have class." Yugi before grabbing his bag and walking off.
Seto got his stuff and started to the door. He stopped and turned back to them. "Back off, Yugi. He knows exactly what he is doing." Seto said before leaving the roof.
"We need to get to class, or we'll be late." Kyla said.
"We'll discuss this later." Atemu said.
The group headed fir the door to go to class, still stunned.
Lunch came quickly, and the group sat down to eat and talk.
"That was weird for Yugi. He never talks like that to anyone." Joey said.
"He is right, though." Kyla said.
"About what?" Tristan asked.
"His reasons for this are his, and he has the right to do this. Plus, he's right. He's not a child, and he really doesn't have to tell us anything." Kyla explained.
"He's keeping secrets, though. He's never done that before." Yami said.
"It could be Yugi doesn't want anyone to know." Atemu said.
"And telling moneybags." Joey said.
"Um, do you think that Yugi and Seto could be dating?" Sayora asked.
All eyes turned to her.
"What makes you say that?" Ryou asked.
"Well, Seto has been coming over to the Game Shop a lot lately, and Yugi moved in with him. I just thought that maybe they're together." Sayora said.
"There's no reason to jump to conclusions. We don't know that that is true." Atemu said quickly, hoping to stop Yami and Joey from blowing a gasket.
"What other reason is there?" Tristan asked.
"I don't know." Atemu admitted.
"I say that we find out." Yami said.
"You mean pry into Yugi's life and fid out what he's hiding." Joey said.
"Yes.' Yami said.
"I'm in." Joey said.
"Me, too." Tristan agreed.
"You can't do that. Can't you respect that Yugi doesn't want us to know? Prying isn't going to help us at all." Tea said.
"And didn't you say that you'd always respect Yugi's wishes, Yami?" Atemu asked.
"That was before he turned to my rival and started keeping secrets from me." Yami said.
"Then let's start prying." Tristan said.
Atemu, Kyla, Sayora, and Ryou looked at each other, each thinking that this could not end well.
That's the chapter.
Yugi might be a little out of character, but it'll become clearer later.
You'll find out what's worng with Yugi next chapter.
