Well here's the next one :P i got lazy on the ending though :P

Chapter 9

A little while later Yugi's grandpa came home. He seemed tired so they left him be. He took a seat in front of the Tv and turned on to his favorite channel. When it was on commercial Yugi came up to him.

"umm, grandpa?"

"yes, Yugi?" He said putting a sugar cube into his coffee.

"Is it alright if I have a friend sleep over for a while?"

"Yes it's fine Yugi, but who's staying over?"

"Kaoru, Right now he's sleeping in my room." Grandpa took a look and saw a little lavender haired kid sleeping in Yugi's bed. He still had his pony tail and school clothes on.

"Okay, but I'm having one of my colleagues Stay in the guest room so he'll have to sleep with you and Atem." Yugi's eyes widened but his grandpa just sat back in front of the TV.

w-what?!?!? He felt his face go red, so he ran into the bathroom to cool his face. Just then Atem came in with a towel.

"You're going to take a shower?"

"Yeah…" He put the towel next to the tub. "hey, Yugi."

"yeah?"

"where did you get that?" He pointed to his pendant. He had forgotten to put it inside his shirt.

"huh! Ummm…" Atem raised an eyebrow. "I got it from…" Why couldn't he think of a lie?! E could lie to his other friends and sure it was hard for him to lie to Atem, but why is it so difficult for him to think of one now?

Atem sighed.

"If you don't want to tell me fine." Yugi relaxed. "But you're going to have to tell me everything."

"after you tell me everything." Yugi knew there was still something he hadn't told them. Did something else happen after he was sent here? Atem looked at Yugi straight in his eyes.

"Then that's a promise." Yugi walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.

Should I really tell him about Caster? He knew that telling him wouldn't be so hard. From what he told us it shouldn't be too hard to believe but… something in the back of his head told him not to tell anyone so easily.

He heard the door open and his grandpa greet his guest. They sounded like such good friends. He smiled happy that his grandpa had just as good friends like him. He went downstairs and saw the jar of sugar cubes his grandpa left alone on the table. His grandpa was busy talking to his friends so his grabbed some and put them in a little bag. He went into the kitchen cupboards and took out a mug and some coffee powder.

I always wondered what coffee tastes like…He mixed them together and took a sip.

"BLEH!" he almost spat I out but managed to get over the sink first. It was so bitter! He put the contents of his experiment away and put the bag of sugar cubes in his pocket.

He crept silently into his room, so he wouldn't wake Lavi. He tripped slightly and felt the bag fall out of his pocket, but she didn't move. He picked up a small purple rectangle and some wires and went into the living room. He put the split ends of the wires into his ears and the other end into the rectangle. He set it to shuffle and listened to whatever his ipod played for 5 minutes.

He heard a door open and Atem came out of the bathroom with only a towel.

"Forget to set your clothes again?"

"yeah…" He blushed then headed up to Yugi's room since they shared. When he was almost at the door Yugi remembered something crucial and ran to Atem.

"Wait! Don't go in there!" He said a little bit too late for Atem was already in the room. The lights were on. She was awake. They were inside the room. One of them only had a towel on…

"hmm?" Atem looked at Lavi. "What are you yelling about? And what are you still doing here?" He said pointing to Lavi. He closed the door and looked through the closet for some of his clothes.

I forgot… that he didn't know who Lavi was.

"Who are you anyway?" He said pulling out his clothes.

Lavi looked at his surroundings. And realized that she wasn't in school anymore.

"Lavi"

"Lavi? You know that means lion in Hebrew." (note Lavi in Hebrew is a guy's name so he doesn't realize it yet.)

"It's short for the name Yugi gave me."

"And what is that?" He said about to take off his towel.

"-that's not such a good idea Atem…" Yugi whispered in his ear.

"Why?" He asked looking very confused. Yugi sighed.

"Well I guess I'm going first. I don't want you finding out after you.. You know.."

"hmm?"

"I'll start with her name." Atem's eye twitched.

h-Her!?!?!?

Yugi beckoned Lavi over and whispered something in her ear. She let her hair down and took off her jacket.

"This is my friend, Lavidia. I found her in a forest… That's pretty much all I know about her right now." Atem's jaw dropped to the floor.

"t-then why did you bring her here!?!?!"

"Well, she followed me to school to give me this pendant." He showed it to Atem. "and then she got enrolled in the school somehow. Everyone thought she was a guy. And well, she followed me here. When everyone was leaving I don't think she had a place to go ,so I asked grandpa if she could stay over."

"but he didn't know she was a girl?" Yugi nodded.

"And grandpa is letting his colleague stay in the guest room so she will have to sleep with us."

"Why didn't you tell him she was a girl!!"

"I don't know I just I would have to tell him who she was."

"then why didn't you?"

"I'm not sure my gut just told me not to tell anyone."

"not your grandfather? Not me? Not your friends?"

"I wasn't supposed to tell anyone! I'm not sure why but it just told me not to!" He yelled loudly. Suddenly he felt very tired. He laid down on his bed and Lavi sat beside him. She looked up at Atem and stared at him like she had done before.

"w-What are you looking at?" He stuttered. His face turned a deep color of red. "turn around!" She didn't turn around but cocked her head.

"Lavi please turn around." Yugi sighed. Lavi obeyed.

"Why did she listen to you?" Atem asked putting on his clothes.

"I'm not sure. She just does."

"Doesn't she ever talk?"

"Sometimes. I have only seen her a couple times but somehow she seems so close. It's a weird feeling…"

Silence

"Do you like her?" He asked smiling.

"wha?! No! where did you get that?" Yugi blushed a bright color of red. Atem laughed and sat next to him on his bed.

"I just assumed since you weren't telling anyone about her."

"I only saw her a few times! And those were short!" He turned a brighter shade of red.

"please, don't ignore me." Lavi said still facing the wall.

"oh sorry, you can turn around now." She turned and started to stare at Atem again.

Why does she keep staring at me?

He stared back. It seemed like they were having a staring contest, but Atem was clearly not winning.

"so is it okay if we keep it a secret from the others?" Yugi asked hesitantly.

"yeah, but how is she going to sleep with us?"

"well, she could sleep in your bed and you can sleep with me in mine since… she's…"

"ok, I guess that works."

"We should go and eat dinner now. Lavi put your hair up now." She obeyed. They went to the kitchen and took their seats. As they were setting the table Lavi handed Atem a plate. When their fingers touched he felt a sharp jolt from his fingertips and dropped the plate. It didn't break because… it was plastic.

What was that? a fuzzy feeling went up his arm almost making it numb. He held his hand tightly and bore it while they were eating. Right after dinner they went to bed. But Atem couldn't sleep for his hand was hurting so much.

I'm ending it here. I'm going to try to continue it tomarrow if i can. :D
