Domino High presents: Romeo & Juliet

Chapter 5

"No-no-no! That's all wrong! Again! This time with more razzle dazzle." The class gave a sigh as they returned to their places. It was the last thing on a Thursday and to be honest, who wanted to work hard? No one! Yugi sat backstage waiting for his scenes, which had been for most of the class. He looked out onto the stage and smiled at his Yami who was once again acting out Friar Lawrence's scene. They hadn't been together much for the past couple of weeks. Yami had been complaining about the rehearsals and how it had taken over their lives. Yugi would just smile and say that when it's all over they'll be loads of time to spend with one another. Yami loved the idea of that! Suddenly Tea emerged from behind one of the stage curtains which made him jump.

"Argh! Tea! What the hell!? Do you spend all your time behind things like curtains? Jeez that's the 100th time during this production you've scared the heck out of me…" he grinned. Tea frowned slightly before forcing it into a sickly sweet smile.

"Now Yugi that's not the way to treat a friend who has news for you…" Yugi raised an eye brow.

"News? About what?"

"About Yami, I thought you should know why he hasn't been around you that often…"

"I… I don't know what you're talking about… we're just mates. Why should I care?" Tea sighed,

"Yugi-Yugi-Yugi… I know all about you two… but anyway…" she thrust letters into Yugi's hands, "…take a look…" Yugi opened one hesitantly and began to read it. Half way through he frowned and then sighed before reading the next one. Tea grinned.

"So… Yami writes to you?..." Tea nodded.

"Oh yes… actually… he's been writing a lot since this play started…He complains a lot about you…"

"This cant be from Yami…" But it was Yami's handwriting and how he wrote. Was it true that Yami thought he was immature? Naïve? Yami never said those things… to him. He felt his eyes fill with tears as he read through the umpteenth letter.

"I know we haven't seen eye to eye Yugi. But anyone has the right to know…"

"I…I never thought he felt this way…" Tea nodded 'sympathetically' and placed an arm round his shoulders.

"Now-now… but look on the bright side, there are plenty more fish in the sea."

"But none like Yami…" Tea frowned.

"Well just tell him to get lost… he's not worth your time Yugi…" Yugi nodded slightly before she smirked and walked away. Yugi stood up silently and went behind one of the curtains and wept.

"How? W…why? Is that why you haven't been seeing me lately? Because you've hated my presence?" he sobbed, tears rolling down his face. Yami came off stage from the scene before but stopped in his tracks when he heard someone crying.

"Hello?" the sobbing stopped. "Whoever that was are you alright?" he asked quietly. But he stopped and smiled when he saw Yugi hiding behind one of the curtains. "So… are we playing hide and seek aibou? If I find you I get a big kiss…" He placed his hand on his shoulder but was shocked when Yugi pushed him away.

"Just fuck off Yami!" Yami blinked.

"Yugi… uh… I was just playing…sorry…" Yugi turned to Yami and frowned.

"Are you really? Sorry means nothing!"

"Yugi I was just joking… are you alright?" he tried to hug him but was once again pushed away.

"Well you don't seem to care about me when you write to Tea!"

"What the hell! WRITE TO THAT BITCH! What gave you that…"

"She showed me!"

"Really!!?? So you're saying you trust her more than me then? Nice to know!"

"Well now I know I trust her more!"

"What the fuck did she show you then?" asked Yami angrily, taking a hold of Yugi's wrist.

"Get off!" he shook Yami off of him, "…I… I hate you!" he screamed, before running off. Yami shook his head.

"Yugi!! Come back! Yugi!" he shouted as he darted after him. Yugi dodged past some of his class mates but then bumped into Joey. He fell to the floor winded.

"Yugi! What the hell…" he saw Yugi's tear stained face,"…Yugi?"

"Joey, hide me! I can't talk to him!" squealed Yugi, as he darted behind him. Joey stood up tall and crossed his arms when he saw Yami running towards him.

"Yugi! Yugi!" he stopped in front of Joey, "Joey just move it!" He pushed Yami away.

"I don't know what's going on here… but it seems to me that you're the bad guy…" Yami frowned.

"I've done nothing! Yugi just listen…" Joey pushed him back again,

"He doesn't want to talk to you! Get it!" Yami scowled,

"What do you know about this? NOTHING! So fuck off so I can…"

"What? Bloody hurt him some more?" Tristan came walking over from coming off stage.

"What's going on? You guys are making a load of noise!" said Tristan confused. He caught a glimpse of Yugi's face and frowned, "What the hell?!"

"Ask Yami," nodded Joey. Tristan turned to him,

"I've done nothing! If you let me explain…"

"HA! That'll be right!" laughed Joey. Yami clenched his fists and tried to get to Yugi again but was held back by Tristan.

"Let-me-go!" struggled Yami, as he attempted to break free from Tristan's grasp.

"Just calm down man!" grunted Tristan trying to hold him still. Yami broke free, pushed Joey aside and gently took Yugi's hand.

"Yugi listen, I've don't nothing. Cant you see what she's doing?" Yugi didn't know who or what to believe anymore. It was definitely Yami's handwriting and his way of writing… Before he had time to open his mouth, Yami was grabbed away from him by Joey and thrown to the ground. "That was uncalled for!" he growled, as he aimed to punch Joey back but his fist was caught by Tristan. Yugi stood on the spot and watched his friends fighting. He didn't know what to do or say. Tristan pushed Yami away towards the stage and stood beside Joey. "What the hell! Why are you trying to…" He dodged a punch, "…bloody kill me!!" He quickly jumped to the side to avoid more angry fists and held onto the side of back set. It wobbled. Yami held his hands up in defeat, "Fine if you want to become…" the two boys rammed into him causing him to fall out onto the main stage. Once again he held onto the back set to steady himself. It wobbled again. Yami froze when he realised where he was,

"Uh…"

"Yami what on earth are you doing!!??"

"Sorry Miss… two bloody…" 'What's another word I can use instead of bastards?…' …morons shoved me out here…" he replied still holding onto the set. It gave a final precarious wobble before toppling over. People screamed as they ran to avoid being crushed by the giant piece of scenery. With no time to spare, Yami dived under the 'Capulet's Banquet Table.' With a huge crash the scenery hit the floor.

"Bloody hell! Who didn't tie it to the pillars at the back!!" screamed Ms Williams, as Joey and Tristan ran onto the stage trying to lift the heavy backdrop off the floor.

"Quick! Help! Yami's under there!" shouted Tristan.

"YAMI!??" gasped Yugi, as he and other class mates ran to help pick it up. After a few heaves, the class managed to lift it and four others tied it to the pillars backstage. With only a few cuts and scrapes, Yami crawled out from under the table and sat on the floor- breathing heavily.

"Oh my god Yami!" cried Yugi as he rushed to his side and tried to hug him. Yami looked up at him before looking back down at the floor and pushing him away,

"Just leave me Yugi…" he said quietly, "…stop confusing me with your mixed feelings." He slowly got up off the floor and brushed his costume down. Joey and Tristan looked at the floor in shame when Yami looked at them before jumping off the stage and leaving the auditorium. Yugi sighed as he watched him leave.

OOOOOoooooOOOOOoooooOOOOOoooooOOOOOoooooOOOOOoooooOOOOOoooooOOOOOooooo

Since Yami's parents were away for a week on business, he was left in the house by himself. For once in his life he was sad that his parents had gone. He was alone with no one to talk to-alone without his friends at his side-alone… without Yugi. He sighed deeply as he slumped back on the couch and flicked on the stereo to listen to the radio.

'We have a dedicated tune for Andrea from your love Jason… enjoy it you two love birds.' "Amazed" began playing on the radio. Yami stared into space while his eyes began to water. The lyrics struck him painfully in the heart and he couldn't bare any more pain, so he switched to a different station.

'I'm gonna live my life, like everyday's the last

Without a simple goodbye, it all goes by so fast.

And now that you're gone, I can't cry hard enough

No I can't cry hard enough for you to hear me now'

He switched it again. "Goodbye my lover…"

"FOR FUCK SAKE!" he yelled, as he switched off the radio completely. He rested his face in his hands and sighed sadly. "Is this really it? But what have I done to loose Yugi's trust? I'm so confused… AND IT'S ALL THAT BLOODY TEA'S FAULT!" he roared. He felt tears trickle down his cheeks as he looked at his trembling hands. His mobile began to ring. He looked at it and walked away to the other side of the room. 'Yugi Mob' was calling. He paced up and down the living room until it eventually stopped ringing. "I want to answer but I just can't…" his voice trembled, "… but I love you Yugi… why don't you love me anymore???" His mobile rang again. He turned to look at it again, "If it's Yugi I'll… I'll answer it…" he picked up the phone. '077764912354' "Who the hell?... Hello?"

"Yamikins?"

"How the fuck did you get my number? And how dare you call me you… you… FUCKING WHORE!" he screamed down the phone, feeling like he'd ripped his vocal chords. He hung up and threw the mobile across the room in a rage. He stood on the spot and began breathing heavily to calm himself down. Next the house phone rang. He wiped away his sad-angry tears and went to pick up the phone.

"H…hello?..." he sniffed slightly.

"Yami?" came Yugi's voice, "I tried your mobile but you didn't answer which is quite unlike you…" Yami rubbed his forehead.

"What are you calling me for?" he asked, clearing his throat- which was now hoarse from all his shouting.

"I just wanted to see if you were Ok…"

"Why'd you care? You hate me Yugi…"

"No… you're the closest person to me…"

'If I was the closest person to you then why can't you trust me??'

"What did I actually do to ruin it? To ruin us?" he blurted out. Yugi paused since he wasn't expecting this.

"B…but you know…"

"I bloody well don't! Aibou… I mean… Yugi… where on earth did you get this nonsense from?"

"But you sent Tea…"

"Oh aye! I speak to that bitch!" he interrupted.

"Well if you'd just fucking listen then you'll remember! It's your handwriting Yami! How can you explain that? Absolutely no one writes like you… and it contains… your… piercing words which I once appreciated…"

"So you don't app…"

"So it's you who's forgetting things not me. I have evidence! But why do you hate me? You say in your letters that I'm a naïve little boy and that I'm clingy and childish. If I angered you then why didn't you tell me rather than telling someone else about it??" Yugi paused to take a breath after his long rant. He heard Yami sigh on the other line.

"Because I had nothing to be angry about Yugi…" There was an awkward silence.

"So… you didn't answer my question from earlier… Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

"Not really…well… not physically…" he said sadly, shaking his head.

"What do you mean?" asked Yugi.

"My heart Yugi. My heart has been bruised. So sad but its true." Yugi bit his lip,

"I… I don't know what to say…" Yami saddened.

"Just say that this has been all one bad dream and that this never happened. I love you Yugi…"

"I…I can't… and I don't think I can love again…" replied Yugi sadly, with a sigh.

"But Yugi I've done nothing!"

"We can still be friends…" Those words broke Yami's heart.

"B…but I love you… no one else…" breathed Yami, tears forming once again in his eyes. Yugi took a deep breath to stop him from crying.

'You love him go on… you know you want to make up…'

'Nah… he's a joke and a liar. He's just going to use you.'

'Would a liar get this emotional and say that he loves you? Listen to Yami, not Tea…'

'Aye but he wrote the letters! Explain that eh??!'

'I know it wasn't him… we know Yugi…'

'Was!'

'Wasn't'

'WAS!'

'WASN'T!'

"SHUT IT!!" yelled Yugi.

"Yugi?" Yugi shook the voices of his thoughts out of his mind.

"I… no-no… not you… I… I'd better go…" he hung up. Yami slumped himself down on the sofa and cupped his face in his hands.

"I've lost my love forever…" he wept.

TBC…
