I got some explaining to do for the long delay, yet again! Just when life seemed to be getting on track, it just decides to turn on me and slap me right in the smacker. Hard, too. School's almost over (yay!), which means finals are coming up (boo). Plus, I have a strong feeling this is the year my step dad might be 'leaving' us. So that totally fries my brain. Anywho, this doesn't mean I've abandoned this story. Nope, I might even put up a few more funny one-shots (been a while since the last one). I don't own Yugioh or Beauty and the Beast!
All of the enchanted servants from the house were shocked, when Yugi struggled to get through the door while dragging Yami along.
"What happened?" the female vase asked worriedly.
"There was some trouble on the way," Yugi panted. "Can someone help, please?"
A couple of coat hanger came over and took some of Yami's weight off the small teen.
"Thanks."
"Come on, let's put him down near the fireplace," Anzu advised them. "On his big chair, now."
As they settled the beast onto the throne-like seat, a pair of leather gloves delivered some bandages and medical equipment.
"Wow, you guys sure aren't much up to date, huh?" Yugi asked looking through the supplies.
"You'd be surprised how much we've missed," Ryou told him.
Yami's eyes finally opened at that point, and he looked around for a few seconds. "We're back?"
"Yeah," Yugi told him. "And now I have to fix you up."
"How'd we get here?" the crimson eyed beast asked.
"I sorta, pulled you here," the teen replied blushing.
He continued to get a towel wet with hot water, when he looked up to see Yami beginning to lick his arm.
"Don't do that," Yugi told him touching his shoulder gently.
Yami simply growled at him, causing all servants to back away in fear.
"Hold still, would you!" Yugi grumbled in frustration as Yami kept trying to avoid the towel aimed at him.
Once it touched him, he let out a loud roar, resulting in everyone hiding.
Everyone, except Yugi.
"That hurt!" Yami barked at the younger.
"Well you should've stayed still," Yugi shouted back.
"Fine, I can play this game," Yami stated smugly. "If you wouldn't have run away, this wouldn't have happened."
"If you didn't go all psycho and scared me, I wouldn't have left," Yugi shot back.
"Well, you shouldn't have went into my room," Yami stated in victory.
"I would've, if you told me I couldn't go there."
'He's got me there,' Yami thought frowning.
The servants began to come out from hiding at this point.
"Now hold still, you furball," Yugi huffed grabing his injured arm again. "This could sting a little."
Yami closed his eyes, but the pain wasn't as bad before. Just like Yugi had told him.
"You were right," he finally said. "That wasn't so bad."
Yugi gave a small smile before saying, "Told you so."
"Your pretty good at this," Yami noted.
"Well, with experience comes skill," Yugi said sighing sadly.
Yami's ears drooped a little at this. "Was it that big guy back there."
Yugi looked into his sharp, crimson eyes. "Most of the time."
The beast snorted before growling, "Then he got what he deserved."
"Thank you," the teen told him softly.
"Hmm?"
"For saving my life," Yugi told him with a soft smile.
Yami returned it. "You're welcome."
The amethyst eyed boy then continued to clean up his wounds.
"Aww, they finally made it through five minutes with each other," Jou whispered to the others.
"Yeah, this is great," Ryou cheered silently.
"Before we know it, they'll be inseparable!" Anzu said with a grin.
After cleaning up, Yugi decided to go back to his room.
"I'm kinda tired after everything," he told everyone.
"But you haven't eaten all day," Jou protested.
Yami began to turn a very light shade of red on his face.
"No, Anzu brought up some food earlier, so that's enough for me," Yugi reminded them. "Thanks for that, by the way."
The vase looked completely clueless as the words came out of his mouth. "But I didn't..."
Yugi had already left before she could deny it, and a depressed sigh was the only thing that could be heard in the room.
The servants watched as their master also made his way to his room.
Broken spirit and all.
Sunlight hit Yugi right in the eyes, making the short teen make all sorts of grumbling noises.
"Grandpa, just five more minutes," he mumbled.
A yelp made him jump out of bed.
'What the heck was that?!'
Looking around, he recalled all the events of the day before and sighed.
'Grandpa...'
Yugi got up and went over to the window, and noticed Yami was outside.
'He must've made the noise from earlier.'
The wolfish man was picking his roses, but appeared to have pricked himself on one of the thrones.
"Stupid paws," he growled quietly to himself. "Stupid witch, stupid spell, stupid life..."
He then did the same action as before and started to claw at himself.
Part of Yugi's heart broke at the sight of the broken creature. He always did have a soft spot for anyone in pain.
"Hey," he yelled, "don't do that!"
Yami jumped in surprise and looked up to see the object of his affection... or what was supposed to be.
"And why not?" he asked smugly. "You said it yourself, I'm just some monster."
"Well, maybe you are, but that doesn't mean hurting yourself helps," Yugi told him.
"Thanks for your concern," he mumbled.
Yugi sighed, before asking, "What are you doing anyways? I thought no one could touch you precious roses."
Yami stiffed a bit in embarrassment, as he answered, "I'm not a 'no one,' and I was picking them for someone."
Yugi tilted his head in curiosity. "Who?"
'If it were possible, I would die of embarrassment right now,' Yami thought.
"Uhh," he stalled looking at Yugi for a bit. "Myself."
"Oh, that's really... sweet of you, I guess," the teen said. "You sure are strange."
"How's that?" Yami demanded, offended.
"Well first you inflict pain on yourself and now you give yourself roses," Yugi explained. "A little weird there."
"Hmph, you don't know anything about me," Yami huffed before going inside the castle.
'He has got to be the strangest person I have ever met,' Yugi thought. 'It's like he has a multiple personality. Beastly and human at the same time.'
The teen simply shook his head in confusion before laying back down in bed and staring at the ceiling.
'Everything here is pretty weird here for the most part,' he thought. 'It's almost like time is frozen here. No one is modern at all. I just hope the upgraded on the bathrooms here.'
Yugi turned a slight shade of pink at the thought. 'Come to think of it, do they even have bathrooms here? Everyone besides Yami are inanimate objects... unless a lamp can poop. But then where does Yami go, a tree?'
He laughed at the thought. 'I don't think his pride would allow it.'
Eventually, Yugi drifted off to sleep again.
What else was there to do in the castle?
That was kinda short, but be glad I gave you something. Writing is hard with my very tight schedule and the very rare moment where I don't have a complete brain fart. Still, it would make me happy if you review and give me some ideas for the next chapters. Never know if I might use them! See ya for no
