Part 6

Yugi awoke a few hours later without Yami by his side. Fear struck his heart briefly

before he remembered that Yami had gone to school. Yugi quickly got into his school

uniform, noticing, with a shiver, a liquid dripping down from between his thighs. He

ignored and pulled on his underwear and pants; heading out through the front door. As

Yugi looked around to gain his bearings once outside, and found that his home, the Kame

Game Shop, was a mere block away. It stood off to his right, and Yugi took off to school,

fearing his grandfather might see him and question his whereabouts. The need to find

Yami was very strong and confusing to Yugi. Just the thought of him made Yugi

incredibly hot. Yugi shook his head to clear his thoughts as they drifted toward today's

and last nights 'activities'. Out of breath, Yugi reached the school grounds. He looked

around quickly for any signs of fellow students, then took off for his fourth period class.

"Yugi!" Yugi stopped dead in his tracks and looked around, searching for the one who

called his name. "Yugi!" He heard footsteps from behind him, and whipped around to see

who it was. Jounouchi ran up to him. "Yugi, where've you been? It's been three since I

last saw you! Are you sick?" Jounouchi placed his hand on Yugi's forehead, checking for

a fever. Yugi's eyes widened in shock. "But Jounouchi,, I was in school yesterday! I even

went to the Café with you! What are talking about?" Jounouchi shook his head. "No,

Yugi. Today's Friday!" Jounouchi pulled out his planner from his book bag. "Ah! See?

Today is Today's the 27th, on Friday! You've been gone for a while. Don't you

remember?" But Yugi didn't respond, he just stared blankly at the planner's date. /The

27th… The 27th… Where was I? But I could've sworn… But…/ In an attempt to sort out

where he had been the last few days, the incident at the Café reappeared in his mind. He

pulled himself out of his daze and looked up at Jounouchi. "J-Jou-kun? What… What are

you?" Jounouchi locked eyes with Yugi for a moment before he sighed and closed his

eyes. "I should have known that this was going to pop up in the future." He opened his

eyes and stared at Yugi a moment more. "I know, you deserve to know." He grabbed

Yugi's hand and led him towards an outside bathroom. "Come, we will discuss this

elsewhere." Jounouchi led Yugi to the bathroom; inside, he checked to make sure no one

was there. Once he made sure that the door was locked, he looked back at Yugi.

Jounouchi gripped Yugi's shoulders, "Yugi, I'm not human." Yugi nodded in

understanding. Slightly surprising Jou. "I'm something called a Sand Wolf." Jou

hesitated, looking down at the ground and blushing before continuing, "And I was

wondering…. If you…. You would be m-my mate. F-for life." Yugi gasped. More in

surprise about what his friend had asked of him, than the fact that he was another

creature. "I know i-it's strange to ask you this but," Jounouchi looked up and into Yugi's

eyes. "But, I've always loved you. You're my closest, true friend in the whole world.

You've treated me like an equal and made me feel special. I know that this is a lot to ask

for, but," he reached out and grabbed Yugi's shoulders. "I want to be with you, to hold

you, to love you, and to protect you." Yugi stared, silent, processing what his best friend

had just confessed to him. In the silence of the bathroom, the sound of slow clapping rang

out like a siren. "Very nice speech Jounouchi kun. I almost believed you there for a

second." Yugi's eyes widened at the sound of Yami's voice. Jounouchi's exspression

darkened and he quickly glared at the ground. There was an audible 'clack' as the stall

door was somehow unlocked. Jounouchi's grip on Yugi's shoulders tightened at the

sound. The door flew open, revealing a pissed, but smirking Yami. The smirk dissipated,

and Yami spoke in a strong, commanding voice, "Jounouchi, release him." He released

Yugi as soon as the words left Yami's mouth. "Aibou," Yugi glanced up at Yami.

"Come. We're going home." His voice sounding soft compared to the harsh tone he took

with Jounouchi. Yugi's body moved towards Yami of its own accord. /What? What's-

What's going on?/ Yami smiled softly and extended his arm toward Yugi as he cleared

the distance between them. Yugi took his hand without complaint, 'till Yami picked him

up and threw him over his shoulder. "Ah! Yami, wait! I can walk!" "Don't worry," Yami

reassured. "I just want to get you away from him first." Yugi huffed as he walked out of

the bathroom. "I can do that myself you know." They were walking down the hallway

when suddenly, "Yami!" He stopped and turned at the yelling of his name, to see

Jounouchi. "What, mutt?" Jounouchi growled. "Aknadin!" Yami's eyes widened

dramatically. "Yeah, that's right! I know your hidden name! Turn around and fight me

like a man! The winner gets Yugi, and the loser is forced to leave town forever!" Yami

released an irritated growl. "Don't do it!" Yugi clumsily clutched at the lapels on Yami's

coat. "Jounouchi may be a bit… Coarse… At times, but, he's still my friend damn it!

You can't evict him!" There was a grunt from Jounouchi. "You have that little faith in

my strength? What the hell?" Yami sighed, rolled his eyes, and set Yugi down. "You

really wanna do this?" He rolls his shoulders. "Yeah! Bring it b-!" Yami was suddenly

behind him, grabbing his arm and yanking it sharply behind him. Yami straightened it,

yanking it upward and twisting it clockwise, successfully ripping a cry from Jounouchi's

throat. "Gah! You cheap bastard! L-Let me go!" He fell to his knees and quickly rolling

onto his back, using both feet to kick Yami in the chest. Yami stumbled a bit and released

Jounouchi's arm. He rubbed the slightly sore spot on his chest. Jounouchi saw his chance

and jumped to his feet, only to be knocked back on his butt by a sharp kick from Yami.

He flew a few feet, sliding 'till he was at Yugi's feet. "Jou!" Yugi began to help

Jounouchi to his feet. "Yugi, no!" Yami cried, but it was too late. Jounouchi gripped

Yugi's arm, and pulled him down onto the ground with him. Yugi gasped as he and

Jounouchi were enveloped in a blinding white light, "Ah!" The last thing Yugi saw

before the world melted into nothing, was what he believed to be the animal from his

dream. The black wolf.
