Chapter 11- The concert!

Yugi sighed as he fell into bed. He had spent a lot of his day with Atemu, but his family (mostly his grandpa) wanted to see him again. The boy turned over to stare at the ceiling, butterflys flying around franticly in his stomach.

'Man…I've never had this much fright before a concert before, and I've done solos before too…' Yugi sighed and turned again. 'I managed to let it slip that I had one more friend to grandpa…I hope they don't push Atemu away…what if they sense he's a dragon…?' he thought with fear. 'Or…or if…if they sense it all…ok,' Yugi turned onto his back again. 'I just will have to…stay calm, act natural, don't try and force hide anything, then they'll notice…Ok, I have GOT to stop talking to myself!' he bellowed in his mind. He took in a deep breath…and breathed out. 'Play it by year…just gona play it by year,'

(Next day…)

Yugi opened his eyes slowly, not really wanting to believe that this day has started. The sun shining through the window proved him wrong. Yugi sat up and stretched. The butterflies of eagerness and fear were still flying about. The mage sighed then felt a hand on his shoulder. Looking up, he saw the kind chocolate eyes of his roommate.

"Hey Yugi…you ok?" he asked, sitting next to him. Yugi nodded.

"Yeah…just got the butterflies…" he muttered with a light chuckle. Ryou laughed a bit as well.

"Nervous?" he asked. Yugi shrugged.

"Yeah, a bit. Excited too…" he stood and stretched his arms over his head again. "A lot of different emotions…not many I can place either," he muttered. Ryou chuckled and stood up straight.

"So what are you going to do this morning?" he asked, walking back to his side of the room. Yugi shrugged.

"I dunno. Just hang, try not to overstress myself, cuz I know I will," he muttered. "I think I might take a shower…have you taken one already?" he asked. Ryou nodded, sitting down on his computer chair and turning on his dell.

"Yeah I did why?" he asked, spinning in the chair. Yugi grabbed some clothes and towel.

"cuz I won't be out for a very very long time," and at that said, Yugi walked into their bathroom and began his relaxing shower. Ryou laughed lightly again and turned to his computer.

(later)

Yugi was walking down the street towards the concert hall. Brushing his bangs behind his ears, he let out a sigh. The walk was longer then Yugi usually went on, but his bike was trashed (by a certain white haired roommate) and he didn't have enough money to buy a car and didn't have a motorcycle license. Also, because he was stubborn, wasn't going to use the busses. So, young stubborn, foot sore Yugi, was on his way to his concert. Right now it wasn't even 11:30, but they had to set up, practice a bit, etc. So, there was that fun time for him to look forward too. Yugi stopped a second to rearrange his backpack and continued onward. He wasn't wearing his concert clothes right now, he was going to change when he got there. Why get them dirty, he thought earlier, so he folded/stuffed them into his bag and left the apartment after his hour long shower. Yugi smiled, his mind in complete contentment. But the beeping of a cell phone soon broke this peacefulness. Yugi stopped and put down his violin, digging the cell out of his coat pocket. Flipping it open, he held it up to his ear and spoke.

"Hello, Yugi Motou speaking," he greeted dryly.

"Ha-ha, what's wrong Yugi? You sound like the world has ended, and on your concert day!" that familiar chuckle allowed Yugi's face to light up.

"Atemu, hi!" he picked up his violin and began walking again. "Why are you calling?" he asked. Atemu laughed.

"Bored…I didn't think you were going to be at the concert hall yet so…I decided to call!" he chirped. Yugi smiled.

"I'm on my way there, we have practice beforehand," he explained. Atemu laughed lightly.

"Oh really? Heh, I didn't know. So, will be able to see you at all before the concert?" he asked. Yugi sighed and shook his head.

"No. We don't have anytime beforehand to see anyone. Sorry," Yugi 'phfted' upward, blowing hair out of his face.

"Ah, it's ok Hikari!" Atemu said with a happy-go-lucky voice. "What about…afterwards? I'm still kinda confused on that…" he explained. Yugi stopped walking as he came to and intersection.

"Well…" he looked both ways and walked. "Mind as well. I mean…I let it slip a bit already and…ah just, if you see me, come on over. If my family is already there though, kinda…walk to the side a bit…like in my line of vision. Then I might have a chance to get away from them to see you! If you see me though and I'm alone, it doesn't matter to me!" he said happily. Atemu laughed.

"Ok, that sounds good!" he said. Yugi nodded then looked up to see where he was.

"Oh…I'm already here. Eh, wow that was quick. I got to go Atemu, hope to see you later!" he departed happily. Atemu chuckled.

"Same here hikari. Bye!" and then the line went dead. Yugi smiled and closed his phone, putting it back in his pocket. Walking inside the cool building, he began his tread to backstage. Walking past some security gaurds, and telling them who he was, he made it backstage. Walking inside the room where everyone unpacks and all, he glanced around to see a few chosen people already here. His stand partner, Amber, was over in the corner, kneeling and reading off some of her pieces. Laura's their first chelloist was here and she was tuneing. The two first stand violaist's were here and practicing and many other woodwinds and violins as well. Yugi walked past the few people over to Amber.

"Hey there," he greeted. Amber stopped playing and looked up.

"Oh, hey there Yugi!" she greeted, a smile spread over her face. Yugi kneeled down and began unpacking his instrament. Openeing the case, he plucked each sting and smiled.

"Ah not to bad. Hey Amber, watch my instrument will ya? I need to go change into the concert uniform k?" he told the girl. Amber nodded.

"Sure thing," she said. Yugi grined, grabbed his backpack and walked out of the room. Entering the hallway, he looked around.

"Bathroom…dressing room…where are they…Oh!" Yugi came to a door and opened it. "Dressing room," he smiled upon entering. Closing the door, he unzipped his backpack and threw off all his street clothes and put on his concert uniform. It concisted of black slacks and a white buttoned up shirt. Yugi made sure to remember to also tuck the white shirt in as well (which he didn't always like to do, it was a tad but uncomfortable at times). Also, another part of the uiniform was a black dressy jacket (kinda like a tuxido). Smileing again, he leaned down and took off his white socks and then put on some black ones and then some dressy black shoes. Standing, he took his regular clothes and put them in the backpack. Walking out of the dressroom, his shoes clicked as he treaded down the hallway. Going back to the room, he opened the door and walked inside. Going back over to Amber, he threw his stuff on the floor.

"Ahh, that was fun," he said, streaching. Amber laughed and went back to cleaning her instrament.

"No one touched your Violin, just to give ya a head up," she said with a chuckle. Yugi gave her a mock glare.

"Shut up Amber!" he bellowed. Amber just shook it off with a chuckle. Yugi roled his eyes and got out in instrument. Standing, he held it up to his chin and shoulder and began tuning. Placeing his left had on the pegs (at the end of the violin, by the scroll) he twisted them, tuning up each one of his strings. Finishing in not even a minute, he set his violin in its case and sat down. Amber glanced over at him.

"Aren't you going to practice at all?" she asked. Yugi shook his head.

"When I practice before something like a concert or for now a solo, I do worse," he shrugged. "Just me I assume," he muttered. Amber nodded in understanding. Yugi leaned his back against the wall and closed his eyes. Waiting for their practice to come and go. And then after that, coming to that same spot again to wait for their performance.

The practice went well. Everything seemed to be good. Yugi messed up slightly when he did his solo, but no one, not even Amber noticed. Afterwards Yugi, as said, was sitting against that same wall, eyes closed, trying to relax.

"Yugi, you are going to be fine!" Amber said. Laura and the first chair violaist (Brian) nodded as well.

"You're working yourself up to much man," Brian said sitting down infront of the boy. Yugi shrugged and gave out a weak smile.

"Yeah I know…just…" he just sighed and smiled more. "Thanks." Amber grinned and patted Yugi on the shoulder.

"Anytime! Common, were going to start going on stage in like 5 minutes!" she cheered. Yugi sighed and swallowed. Standing, he grabbed his violin and music. Walking forward, he joined the rest or the orchestra as they filed out to the stage. But, right at the entrance, he stopped. Amber appeared right next to him and took the music.

"I'll take it," she whispered. Yugi nodded in understanding and turned to look out on the stage. Then takeing a second to divert his attention to the audience.

'I wonder where my family is…and where Atemu is too…' Yugi smiled. 'I know he's here though…I'm glad…' upon thinking that Atemu was even right in the front row, next to the stage, gave Yugi a feeling of hope. Takeing in a breath, he breathed out and turned to Amber and their conductor. Mr. Haldas smiled and nodded his head to the stage where the players were quieting down and the audience were also lessening their talk. Yugi glanced over at Amber and she smiled back. Stepping out, she walked through the door and onstage. It is a tradition, that the Concert and Co-concert master's come on the stage after everyone was seated and comfortable in his or her seats. Amber walked out and bowed, people clapped politely, and there were some whistles as well form most likely family members and friends. Yugi watched as she sat down in her chair and placed the music on their stand. Seeing it as a good time, Yugi entered the stage. It always made his heart flutter somehow when he walked on, hearing people clap for him and cheer. Such a wonderful felling. Yugi didn't bother to try and search the crowd, he just walked up to where he sat and gave a bow. Standing up straight, he turned to the orchestra's wind section and nodded his head once. The first oboist grined back in a sign of acknologment, licked her lips and blew a tuneing note. The rest of the woodwinds listened for a second, played and tuned. They were done in not even a few seconds. The obo player placed the read in her mouth and wet it, then played out another note for the brass. They finished and finnaly it was their turn (the strings). The obo player glanced up at Yugi and blew out the third and final note. Yugi placed his bow on his 'A' string and played, tuning up once again. As the rest of the orchrestra started to play, Yugi sat down. The rest of the strings joined and they finished. There was about a half-minute or so pause, and then Mr. Haldas walked onstage. Everyone in the orchrestra stood again and turned toward the crowd. People claped of course, and there were cheers as well. They soon sat and moved their chairs around to so they could see the conductor. Mr. Haldas waited pasiently, opening his music as well. Yugi, during this time glanced out at the crowed. Looking to his far right…he caught a glimpse of crimson. He immedatly directed his eyes to the conductor and his music. Mr. Haldas raised his arms up, signaling everone to get ready. Glanceing around the orchrestra, he smiled and counted off the beats silently and the brought his hands down in the first beat.

(another place in the auditoriom)

Atemu leaned back and smiled. He could tell Yugi saw him a bit, and let his smile turn to a grin. When entering this giant hall, he had immedatly picked up one of the programs. The only thing that would have been MUCH better about this concert…if it was free. Atemu watched on as Yugi played. But…to see his Yugi play and...Atemu laughed. He had found out what that secret was and he was defiantly surprised. But, of course, they needed to be even on their suprises. And Atemu was sure that Yugi would certainly be shocked at what Atemu got him…

Atemu blinked as he heard Yugi…playing alone for awhile. So, there was even more. Atemu smiled as he listened to Yugi and the other first chairs (Laura and Amber) play with him. He watched as, immediately after that first movement…Spring was it, ended. The next one seemed to show more…something… drama maybe? He could tell Yugi liked playing this, just the way the teen moved to the music, the expressions on his face. Actually, this was the first time Atemu ever saw Yugi looking this serious. He was so used to that face being filled with carefree emotions and happiness. It was…interesting to watch. Atemu felt his smile diminish slightly, but not from unhappiness, gods he felt so pleased right now, he didn't know why, but he did. Atemu watched on as Yugi played a lighter movement then that last one. He rested his arm on the armrest of the chair and relaxed more. He sat up straighter though when the final movement came. This sounded…more dramatic then any of the other ones. But it was quite calming. The piece played on, and soon it was coming to an end. But anyone could tell that, as they began to speed up. Atemu watched Yugi, seeing his movements as the piece ended. The conductor smiled and let his arms down, and everyone relaxed. Atemu watched as the conductor turned to Yugi and seemed to mouth a few things. The teen nodded back, stood and exited the stage. Atemu blinked, slightly confused. The conductor turned and turned the microphone on.

"Hello guests and welcome to our spring concert!" he earned claps, most just for being polite. The man continued on. "As you all may know, I am Mr. J. Haldas, conductor or this orchestra! The piece we just played was, as you all may know, Vivaldi's Four Seasons. For our next piece, we are playing Saint-Saens Violin Concerto No.3 in B major. Of course, this is a violin concerto, which means we have a soloist for it. The soloist that will play for you today won the Concerto contest that we set out for him and all the rest of the people in this orchestra and out. Usually, our soloist is a professional from outside this orchestra, but today we have someone different. The young man has been and exquisite young player and concertmaster to this orchestra. He's just entered the University of Los Angelus, a freshman this year, and is on a scholarship for musical theory and musicology, please help me and welcoming our soloist, Yugi Motou!" Yugi entered from the same place as he entered at the beginning of the concert, walking up to the front of the stage and bowed. Atemu couldn't help but grin as he watched Yugi.

--Good luck Yugi…-- he whispered through the mind link, even if Yugi didn't hear him, he didn't care. Yugi stood straight from his bow and held his instrument up. Placing his bow on the string, he glanced over at the conductor. Mr. Haldas gave a nod to Yugi and turned his attention back to the orchestra. Yugi turned his body fully around so that he was facing the crowd. Taking in a breath, he played.

(with Yugi)

Yugi had entered the stage, feeling excitement and nervousness flittering around in his stomach. He walked to the front and bowed low. He kept his head and back bent for three seconds and then straightened slowly. But, as he did…he heard something.

--Good Luck Yugi…-- Yugi almost jumped at the voice, but felt all nervousness wash away at the sound of that voice.

'Thanks Atemu…' he thought with love in his inner voice. Raising up his instrument, Yugi glanced at Mr. Haldas and then back to the audience. The orchestra started to play, but Yugi had about a meter of rest. He had his eyes closed, and when he knew he had to come in, he places his bow firmly on the string and let out a good strong down-bow. He playing on, knowing that Atemu was out there, silently cheering him on, and watching him. Yugi played on, and he felt like this was so easy now. So easy now since Atemu was watching him. Yugi moved in rhythm to the song, his body moving a couple steps to the left and then right again, swaying. Yugi's movements suddenly became more emotional as the piece was coming to a sadder like part. The boy's left hand never stopped shaking in vibrato and his body never stopped swaying either. Then, there were times that Yugi stopped playing. But he would never stop moving. At the times when the orchestra played only, Yugi would be silently counting, his foot tapping slightly in rhythm. And then, when he was supposed to play again, he came in exactly right. Atemu watched the teens every movement, everything he did…and he could sense the love that he was putting out through his playing…this love that was directed toward him. Atemu smiled and with his mind, sent back happiness and that same love. And he could see Yugi felt it. The teen moved more and with more passion in it. It really felt exhilarating, to both men. The one playing and the one listening. Yogi's body suddenly dipped down as he reached a low note and then his body flung up to reach a high note. The piece was coming an end, everyone could hear and notice it. Yugi's body was moving even more now, to reach down and hit those so very low notes and travel up to the highest ones in one breath. Yugi's eyes were closed, his brows furrowed slightly in concentration and seriousness. His fingers traveled quickly up and down the strings and suddenly he let down a cord, another cord and then the final one, letting it ring off the halls, his fingers still shaking (from vibrato). His posture was stiff and he looked almost like a statue. But, then his figure slackened and he brought his violin off his shoulder and back to his side. Smiling, he tucked it under his arm and bowed. He could hear clapping from behind him, and from the crowd. Yugi stood straight and smiled out at the crowd. Suddenly, someone from behind stage ran out and handed something to Yugi. Yugi attempted to grab onto the gift and not drop his violin at the same time. It was flowers, a bouquet of flowers. Yugi smiled, this always happened, another tradition. To hand the soloist a bouquet of flowers. Then, Yugi blinked.

'But…only time you get them on stage is…' he quickly glanced down at the tag around one stem.

I found out your secret, and it was wonderful. Here's a surprise back to you. Love, Atemu ©

It took a moment for Yugi to realize…and then he smiled. Turning back to the crowd, he bowed yet again and exited the stage. Placing the flowers backstage, he smiled and then walked back onstage to get ready for their next and final piece. Walking back on, there were even more claps. Yugi couldn't keep his grin back as he sat down in his seat. Mr. Haldas grinned down at Yugi.

"Great job," he mouthed out. Yugi smiled back.

"Thanks," he mouthed back. Mr. Haldas gave Amber a nod. She held up her instrament and played out an A so Yugi could re-tune. Yugi listened and then played, twisting the pegs again so that his instrament was the same with hers and that meant the orchrestra's as well. Mr. Haldas held up his baton, counted off one measure of rest and brought his hand down for them to play. This next piece went by so quick for Yugi. Almost immediately as it started slowly, it became deep and almost destruction like. Then the end came…and it was done. It seemed, to Yugi, he sat down, played for not even a minute and it was over. Yugi like this piece, yes, but the shock and slight overwhelming feeling from before left Yugi just not really thinking on what he was doing. But he didn't mess up, no he couldn't mess up when Atemu was watching. He felt like he was on cloud 9 right now. But he could also sense that Atemu could feel his emotions and was laughing…which made Yugi almost laugh as well. But he had to keep a certain amount of seriousness, or else he wouldn't make it through this song. But, soon enough, it was ending. With a quick and giant outburst from both the brass and whole orchestra, the piece was done…as so was the concert. Mr. Haldas smiled and pointed his baton to all soloists in the concert (ones who played alone in certain areas of pieces. After some brass players and woodwind players stood, the conductor turned to Yugi and nodded his head. The boy stood, and turned to face the crowed again, and then taking another bow. Suddenly, the slight scraping of chairs could be heard as the rest of the orchestra stood. Yugi finally could look out in search of Atemu and his family right now…but then he shrugged it off.

'I know where Atemu is,' he thought. 'And my family…I know I'll find them afterwards.' He thought with happiness. Soon, the clapping and cheering decreased and the orchestra could leave. Yugi placed their music in the folder and proceeded off the stage, Amber right by his side. As they entered backstage, Yugi grabbed the flowers that he recently put down and held them close to his chest.

"So," Amber started, taking their music and walking back toward where their instruments were. "Who's that from?" she asked. Yugi smiled.

"A very close friend," he answered. Amber grinned, and patted Yugi on the shoulder.

"You just never like to tell anything Yugi," she muttered. "To many secrets." Yugi couldn't help but grin.

'You don't even know the half of it….'

(Afterwards)

Yugi had packed up his instrument and was walking out to the lobby, Amber right by his side. The exited through the doors to a hallway were a few people were waiting for people to come out. Yugi looked a bit, looking for his family.

'They must be out in the main lobby…' he thought. Then turning to his left, his eyes caught familiar spiky hair. Yugi walked slightly faster to come in full view of the other. He felt a smile come to his face as he walked closer to the one waiting. His closer friend was reading the program, flipping through it, but the sound of footsteps allowed him to look up. He glanced up at Yugi and grinned, crimson eyes showing happiness. Yugi smiled back and then ran up to the other. Dropping his violin down right as he ran into the others arms, the bouquet of flowers in hand. Atemu wrapped his arms around Yugi's torso, allowing him to pick Yugi up and off the ground. Amber walked closer, slightly confused on the sight. Yugi squeezed around Atemu's shoulders tight and couldn't help but smile.

"Thank you," he whispered into the others ear. Atemu laughed lightly and nuzzled Yugi's neck.

--Heh, you're welcome little Yugi…-- he whispered back. Yugi slowly pulled away and got his footing back on the ground. Pulling himself out of Atemu's embrace he glanced down at the flowers Atemu gave him. Suddenly, he turned to face Amber. Grinning, he inclined his hand toward Atemu.

"Amber, this is my good friend Atemu. Atemu, this is my stand partner, Amber," he introduced the two. Atemu held out his hand and Amber took it.

"Nice to meet you," Atemu greeted, a smile on his face. Amber grinned as well and let go as they finished shaking.

"Likewise…so, wait…um are you the one who gave Yugi the flowers?" she asked. Atemu blinked and rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.

"Um…well yes I did," he answered. Amber blinked and glanced at Yugi, whose face was uncanny…red… She grinned.

"I see…" she said, a smirk on her face. Yugi swallowed and grinned.

"Heh, yeah…" he mumbled. Amber smiled and gave a nod to Atemu.

"Well, I'll see you later Yugi, nice meeting you too Atemu. Bye!" and at that she was walking away down the hall. Yugi breathed out and grinned.

"She seems nice," Atemu commented. Yugi smiled.

"Yup…heh, so Atemu," he turned to the other. "When did you find out I had a solo?" he asked. Atemu chuckled and waved the program.

"Grabbed this immediately once I got here, and I then saw that table place where you can give flowers to performers. But, never thought they would give it to you onstage," he laughed. Yugi grinned and let out a chuckle as well.

"Hehe, yup. They do, but it was defiantly a surprise Atemu," he said with a smirk. Atemu nodded and then gave Yugi a loving smile.

"So…you see your parents yet?" he asked. Yugi shook his head, picking up his violin again.

"Nope. I think they're in the main lob-"

"UNCLE YUGI!" Yugi immediately stiffened and turned slowly to be jumped on by a young girl. He almost dropped his instrument and flowers, but managed to hang onto them.

"Oh, hi there Anakai!" he greeted. "Now, could you please…get off Uncle Yugi now," he said, trying to pry her off. The girl jumped down and grinned.

"Uncle Yugi, I saw you , I saw you on stage!" she chirped. Yugi smiled.

"Did you now?" he asked, kneeling down. Anakai nodded enthusiastically, when her eyesight suddenly caught Atemu. She stopped and stared up at the other. Atemu blinked questionably as the girl seemed to be…examining him. She looked to be in deep thought…but then she perked up and grinned.

"Dragon!" she shouted enthusiastically. Atemu and Yugi both felt their faces go white. The older one stared.

"Uh…" he just stared. Yugi turned to Anakai.

"Anakai, why did you call him that?" he asked, trying to keep his voice still. The young girl grinned.

"Uncle Yugi, dragon dragon!" she playfully said, waving her arms about. Yugi sighed and glanced up at Atemu.

-Just ignore it for now- he whispered. Atemu nodded and kneeled down to be in front of the girl.

"So your names Anakai is it?" he asked. The girl nodded.

"Yes, and this is uncle Yugi!" she said. Atemu chuckled.

"Yes I know, I am a friend of Yugi's. My names Atemu," he told the little girl. Anakai grinned and then that grin turned to a curious stare. Atemu blinked as the girl moved closer. Suddenly, she ran up and grabbed the one stray blonde bang that stuck up along the spikes of his hair and tugged it. Atemu let out an 'eep' of surprise and pain. Anakai kept pulling it.

"How does it stay up?" she asked, trying to put it flat down in front of Atemu's eyes. The dragon winced as she pulled it extra hard, almost pulling him face flat on the floor. Yugi tried to pull Anakai away from his friend.

"Anakai, stop pulling his hair!" he exclaimed. The young girl turned, an innocent smile on her face.

"Why?" she asked simply and then tugged the bang again. Atemu was clenching his teeth, trying to not scream out and foul words that the young girl would hear.

"Anakai, what are you doing?" came a voice from down the hallway. Yugi glanced up as did Anakai. The girl let go of Atemu and ran toward her mother.

"Hi mommy!" she embraced the woman. Serena laughed and then turned to see Atemu rubbing his head from the pain that the little one endorsed on him. She walked up and smile apologetically.

"I'm sorry for that," she apologized. Atemu grinned and stood.

"Oh it's alright," he said. She smiled and turned to Yugi.

"Ah Yugi," she gave the teen a hug. "Great job today! You did wonderful!" she exclaimed. Yugi smiled and returned the hug.

"Aha, thanks," he said back. Serena pulled away and then allowed her vision to catch onto Atemu. Blinking questionably, she turned to him.

"Who might you be?" she asked. Atemu smiled and rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.

"Um…my names Atemu," he traditionally (to him) bowed and then straitened. Yugi's aunt's eyes wandered over Atemu's body, most likely searching him out with her magic. Yugi felt his figure stiffen as Serena did this, but Atemu just stood still, not trying to look suspicious of anything. The woman stared at him for a while longer then smiled.

"My names Serena. I'm Yugi's aunt," she said, just assuming that Atemu knew Yugi. Well…she was right. Atemu bowed again.

"Nice to meet you," he greeted. She smiled and then turned.

"Oh, looks like everyone else found out I came over here," she said, grinning. Yugi glanced around his aunt to see many people coming down the hallway. Glancing over at Atemu, he gave a slight smirk.

-here they come- he breathed out. Atemu managed to keep in a chuckle.

--Well…let's hope for the best-- he whispered back. Yugi let out a smile, but then noticed…that Serena was giving him a odd stare. He immediately let his smile fall, and looked over to see his grandpa come closer.

"Yugi!" he exclaimed, walking over to his grandson and giving him a giant bear hug. Yugi grinned and attempted to hug his grandfather back while not dropping the flowers in hand. Remembering them, he mentally cringed.

'Shit…' he muttered in his mind. Sugoroku drew away and grinned up at his grandson.

"You did very well today Yugi," he said. The teen smiled.

"Heh, thanks grandpa," he said back. Sugoroku stared up at his son for a moment, then glanced down to see the flowers in his hand.

"Yugi," he started, pointing to the bouquet. "who gave you those?" he asked. Yugi smiled and rubbed the back of his head.

"Um…actually Amber did," he said, trying to lie as best he could. But then make it sound like…she was the crush. Suddenly he heard his uncle cheer.

"Yes, Yugi had finally found a woman!" he exclaimed, bounding over to the boy and wrapping one arm around the teen's shoulders. Yugi let out a grin and a blush covered his face.

"U-Uncle!" he bellowed, trying to remove the mans arm from his shoulder. "I-It's not that!" Chris laughed and let go of the blushing teen.

"Oh fine, be like that!" he said. Yugi gave him a pouting like glare and then turned back to the rest of his family. They had all congratulated him on his performance and he'd gotten flowers and all from a couple of his other relatives too. In this time, he took a few milliseconds glances at Atemu to make sure he was doing all right. He was standing farther back from the group, trying to as unseen as he could be. Yugi smiled at this and would go on talking to his family. Suddenly Serena came up behind him.

"Aren't you going to introduce everyone to your friend?" she asked, emphasizing the word 'friend'. Yugi's face paled.

"um…um I guess…I guess so," he stammered. Serena grinned and leaned in closer.

"Don't worry," she whispered. "I won't tell." Yugi stared up at her, and then smiled.

"Thank you," he mouthed. Turning to Atemu, he made eye contact and then directed his head over to his family group. Atemu blinked and stared on with uncertainty. Yugi let out a grin and directed his head toward the group again. Atemu still blinked with doubt but walked over anyways. Sugoroku glanced over and the man coming over to his grandson. He only came to where Yugi was standing with Serena and Anakai and began talking to them. But there was…something there. Sugoroku blinked and stared at how Atemu moved…it was in a way that most humans didn't do. His walk seemed smoother then the average human, and his eyes were a odd color as well. And there were…secrets hidden behind those eyes. Sugoroku, in the past, was an expert at reading people at first sight by looking to their outward appearance, to their movement and then especially their eyes. Eyes always were the easiest place to see who and what a person really was like. This man seemed to…have a barrier over his eyes. This barrier worried Sugoroku slightly, but then he shrugged it off and walked over to their small group. Another thing that perplexed Sugoroku was the resemblance between his grandson and this other man. They both were a slight smaller for their age, and their hair was almost identical. Though Yugi's was naturally lighter and softer, this newcomer's hair seemed to be soft…but jagged and stiff as well. The elderly one finally made it over to the group and he let out a smile.

"Yugi," he started. The younger one turned and faced his grandfather. "Who's this?" he asked. Yugi smiled.

"Um, grandpa, this is my friend Atemu," he introduced. "Atemu this is my grandpa, Sugoroku," he said. Atemu bowed again.

"Nice to meet you," he greeted. Sugoroku blinked.

"Are you Japanese?" he asked. Atemu straitened and smiled sheepishly.

"Yes. I'm sorry, I just bow out of habit," he said with a light chuckle. Sugoroku grinned; this boys manners were quite good. And he seemed very polite…maybe a tad bit to polite to be exact.

"Ah I see. So…what is your last name. Atemu…?" he droned out, making circles with his wrist. Atemu smiled.

"My name's Atemu Akasaki," he said clearly, and pretended to not notice the shocked features of entire mage family. Sugorkoku blinked and then smiled.

"Well it is very nice to meet you Atemu Akasaki," he said. Atemu gave out a grin. He met the rest of Yugi's family after that, and all seemed to be going well. Yugi could tell his grandfather was unsure about Atemu, but he let it pass for now. After everyone had meet Atemu, Sugoroku looked down at his watch.

"Well we should get going. We were going to go out to eat tonight, remember Yugi?" he said to the boy. Yugi grinned on the outside but was groaning inwardly.

'Fun…' he muttered. Turning he walked over to grab his violin. Turning again, he began following his family out the doors, Atemu right by him.

--Think they noticed?-- he asked. Yugi whipped around and shushed the other.

-Shh!- he looked up at his family to see that no one had turned around. -Ok, they can hear the mind link somewhat- he whispered to the other. -So when we talk through out minds, you have to be quiet!- he said. Atemu blinked and nodded.

--Ok-- he answered. Yugi smiled and walked faster to catch up with his family. Walking out of the building, he glanced back.

-See ya Atemu- he said. Atemu waved and walked over to the parking lot area where is car was.

--Bye hikari-- he said with a wink. Yugi grinned and ran over to where his family was by their car. They had a couple, because all of them had their own, but Yugi went with his grandpa. He sat up front while Serena and Anakai sat in the back. Yugi jumped in and closed the door. His grandfather drove out of the parking lot without saying a word. Then, once they drove for around five minutes, he finally turned to his grandson.

"Yugi, there is something we need to talk abou."
