Chapter 13: Unwanted

Yuugi walked with her mother into the living room of the Sennen Mansion. All her friends were sitting down waiting on their ride to get there, except Ryou and Hiroshi. Ryou was looking at photos on the entertainment center while Hiroshi stood in the doorway with a look of worry on his face.

Yukari went to stand by her husband while Yuugi went to answer her friends. Each one of them did not look happy in the least bit and that worried Yuugi a little. She didn't want them to completely hate her, but she also had her reasons for keeping everything a secret.

Anzu was the first to look at her, but her look was anything but friendly. "Why didn't you tell us?"

Yuugi went to say something but Joey butted in with a, "And don't give us that crap about you had your reasons."

This shocked the young adult since never in all the time they had been friends did Joey ever look so anger at her or use such a harsh tone to her. It took a minute for Yuugi to compose herself, because she didn't want to be mean to them.

"I did have my reasons and it's your choice in whether you would like to hear them or not." Yuugi told them hoping they would take the time to listen. This however didn't seem like the case when Joey stood up and went to walk out of the room.

Out of reflex Yuugi reached out to try and stop Joey only to have her hand slapped away.

"We trusted you and never kept any secrets from you. Yet this is the second time we've had to find out you've been hiding stuff from us." Joey shouted.

"I didn't even want anyone knowing the truth!" Yuugi cried. "How do you think I feel now that everyone knows?"

Anzu had the nerve to laugh. "I think you should have thought of that before you got engaged to the future handicapped CEO of Sennen Records."

Before anyone could react, Yuugi had gone over to Anzu and clear as day slapped her across the face. The force of the slap caused Anzu to fall on Serenity who had been sitting beside the girl. No one knew what to say or do as the shock of what Yuugi just did took hold of the room.

Yuugi looked down at Anzu with fury in her amethyst eyes. "Don't you ever talk about Atemu that way again," She hissed at her friend.

"Yuugi!"

All eyes turned to the doorway where Atemu had just wheeled in with Yumi behind him. The other two siblings had returned to the party, but Yumi wanted to stay with her brother in case he needed her.

Yuugi took deep breaths to calm her racing heart before she did the first thing that came to her mind and that was leaving the room. She fled from the room before anyone could stop her and went to the one place she felt safe.

Atemu was normally a gentle soul, but hurt the one he cares for and you've unleashed a whole different side of Atemu. "What the hell is wrong with you people?" He shouted gaining everyone's attention. "First you try to leave before Yuugi can explain herself then you upset her. What kind of friends are you?"

"Apparently we aren't friends if she didn't trust us with her secrets." Joey pointed out to Atemu.

"And apparently you're not her true friends if you don't trust her to have a few secrets. Yuugi would never hold any secrets to try and hurt anyone. She likes her privacy and after everything she has been through I would think she deserves that." Atemu countered.

Anzu stood up in Joey's defense having recovered from slap. "Oh like living the high life is so horrible."

That was the final straw for Atemu as he pointed toward the door. "I want you out of my family's home now and don't think about coming back unless you want to apology to Yuugi."

Just like that all of Yuugi's friends minus Ryou walked out of the living room. It hurt both Ryou's and Atemu's hearts to see them just walk out like that without one ounce of remorse for acting like that toward Yuugi.

Hiroshi and Yukari followed, but only to make sure the young adults made it back to their estate. Neither of them liked the outcome of the party and hoped to talk to the group when they returned home. They trusted Atemu to take care of their daughter.

Once the front door closed, Ryou approached Atemu, "I would like to stay if you wouldn't mind. I don't like the idea of leaving here when Yuugi is upset."

Atemu gave a sad smile Ryou's way and agreed. "That will be fine." He turned to his sister. "Please hang out with Ryou during the party while I go find Yuugi."

Yumi wrapped an arm around Ryou. "Not a problem little bro, I'll take good care of Ryou." She smiled down at the white haired young adult. "How about I introduce you to some hot men while you're here?"

Ryou blushed but followed Yumi anyway as the adult talked about some of the hot celebrity men that had showed up to the party. Atemu rolled his eyes and hoped to every god that Ryou would still be alright when Yumi was done with her.

After that Atemu wheeled his way to the elevator they had built for him after his accident. It was hidden near the stairs and looked like another room, but when you opened the door it was just a small elevator. He got on and closed the door, then once he moved back and pushed a button, two steel doors closed on the elevator and he rode to the floor he picked. He hoped Yuugi was where he thought she was or he knew it would be a while before he found her.

"All they did was walk over, start off by shaking your hands, that's how it went. I had a smile on my face and I sat up straight. Oh, yeah, yeah, I wanted to know you, I wanted to show you…" Yuugi sang as she played on the piano in the studio. She only felt better when she was in front of an instrument playing anything that came to mind. "You don't know me, don't ignore me, you don't want me there you just shut me out. You don't know me don't ignore me if you had your way you'd just shut me up. Make me go away! No, I just don't understand why you won't talk to me. It hurts that I'm so unwanted for nothing. Don't talk words against me. I wanted to know you, I wanted to show you…"

A knocking startled Yuugi as she turned to see Atemu sitting on the other side of the glass waving at her. She stood going to the door and opening it to the recording part of the studio. "How did you find me?"

Atemu crossed his arms and looked at her as if asking 'really?' "This would be the only place you would run to when mad, upset, frustrated, or sick of being around people in general."

A blushed formed on Yuugi's face, because all of the above were true. Any place that held instruments or music in general could help take her mind off anything. With a sigh Yuugi plopped down on the couch and stare at the ceiling.

"What's on your mind?" Atemu asked as he wheeled up beside her and took her hand.

A fresh batch of tears formed in Yuugi's eyes as she recalled her friends' words and the looks on their faces. "They were a little upset when I finally told them about my parents, but I had no idea they would take it this hard when they found out about you."

Atemu rubbed the back of Yuugi's hand in comfort. "Listen I know you probably don't want to hear this after what happened. However you have to admit it may have been easier just to talk to them before the party."

"Yeah, but we just recently got engaged. It's not like I was keeping this a secret from them for years. I just wanted to keep things quiet with only few people knowing so I could continue a somewhat normal life while in college." She turned her head to look at him. "Plus if I had told them without you there, I don't know if they would have believed me."

Atemu had to admit Yuugi got him there. Ryou had to hear his voice just to believe Yuugi when she told her. However he didn't want their engagement to be the cause of Yuugi losing all her friends. There had to be something he could do to help Yuugi's friends see that she hadn't meant them any harm.

"You know we should probably head back to the party before your parents start to worry." Yuugi comment as she stood back up.

"Are you sure you want to go back out there?"

Yuugi pulled a smile, but Atemu could tell it was completely fake, "I'm good at pretending, but this is a special night we should enjoy it."

Once the two had returned to the party, they became the certain of attention for reporters and the cameras. Yuugi thought she would go blind at some point from all the flashing lights. It took Amun playing bodyguard for anyone to leave them alone.

As they tried to enjoy themselves they both could see the looks Atemu was getting from other celebrities. Atemu never understood why people had to stare at someone if they were disabled. It was like they hadn't seen someone in a wheelchair before. But he wasn't going to let it get him down, because he had his girl beside him and the public finally knew where his heart belonged.

After a while of talking to some of the guest, the two found their way to the buffet table, where Atemu could finally get some food into his stomach. He had been too nervous to eat before the party.

Yuugi made him a plate and joined him at one of the tables. The two talked about nothing serious since there were people around and some were probably eavesdropping. It was then that Ryou, who surprised Yuugi by still being there, hurried to the two and hide behind Yuugi.

"Hide me!"

Yuugi looked behind her at Ryou. "Hide you from whom?"

"Yumi!" Ryou whispered trying to be quiet in case the girl was around. "Atemu got Yumi to hang out with me while he talked to you. I now know the name of about every guy here plus the rating of each guy based on Yumi's scale from one to ten."

Atemu put a hand over his mouth to suppress his chuckles and a glare was sent his way from Yuugi.

"Why in the world did you put Yumi in charge of hanging out with Ryou?"

"She was there at the time and I didn't see the harm." Atemu said trying to look less guilty.

Yuugi rolled her eyes at her lover. "Listen I have hung out with your sister plenty of times. It's not pleasant if you're a girl. Why do you think she has a bunch of guy friends?"

Atemu shrugged. "I just figured she had a fan group. The girl has been on more dates than me."

"The girl is freaking boy crazy!"

"Who's boy crazy?"

Yuugi and Atemu turned to see two men about Atemu's age standing in front of them. One had long shoulder length white hair and brown almost crimson eyes, while the other had shoulder length sandy blond hair and dark violet eyes. Both had spiky hair and dark sun-kissed tans that gave them a sexier look along with the small bit of muscles they had.

Atemu let out a laugh when the white hair one put him in a head lock and ruffled his hair. "Long time no see buddy!"

"Let me go Bakura…" Atemu pleaded as he tried to push the taller boy off him. Bakura did and stood back beside his companion.

"Did you miss us any?"

Atemu smirked at the two. "What do you think?"

The other one grinned at him. "I think you couldn't live without us so much that you went and got engaged again."

Atemu sighed. "The first time wasn't really an engagement." He then turned to Yuugi and pointed to the two idiots. "Yuugi, you remember Bakura and Marik don't you?"

Yuugi smirked at the two. "Oh I remember the two trouble makers who pulled so many pranks on me that I finally had to put them in their place."

Both Bakura and Marik looked at Yuugi for a moment as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

"I didn't think you would ever come back." Bakura stated. "The last time we saw you was after Atemu's accident."

Yuugi brushed it off not wanting to go into detail about everything with so many people around. "Yeah, well I came back to set things right with Atemu."

"When did you two get here?" Atemu addressed the two to change the topic. The last he remembered Bakura and Marik were spending their summer in Egypt.

Bakura took a seat at the table along with Marik. "We just arrived at the party because of a delayed flight. We should have been here earlier this morning."

"So who is this new fiancé we here about?" Marik asked. "We want to see the girl that finally caught your eye."

Yuugi cleared her throat to get their attention before she flashed her engagement ring. This caused both the men's jaws to drop.

Bakura then reached over and slapped Atemu on the back. "You finally caught the one that got away."

Atemu nodded and rubbed his now sore shoulder. "Yes I did and did you have to hit that hard."

Ryou who had been standing behind Yuugi watched the four talk between themselves before she tapped Yuugi on the shoulder. "Who are those two?"

The new voice caught the attention of Bakura as he turned to see Ryou standing behind Yuugi. His eyes widen at the beauty standing there. Without even thinking Bakura was out of his seat and standing in front of Ryou. He held out his hand.

"May I know the name of such a beautiful angel?"

Ryou blushed but gave Bakura her hand. "My name is Ryou."

"Ryou…" Bakura said letting the name settle on his tongue. He then kissed the back of Ryou's hand before letting it go. "That is such a lovely name. My name is Bakura and I am one of Atemu's friends from his childhood."

Marik rolled his eyes at his love sick friend. "Now that you have met the flirt over there, my name's Marik."

Ryou reached across the table to shake hands with Marik. "It's pleasure to meet both of you. I'm Yuugi's friend from Domino."

Bakura held out a chair for Ryou, before relocating his chair near her. "So Ryou have you ever been outside of Domino before?"

The two were soon lost in conversation, which caused a smile to form on Yuugi's face. Marik however pouted because he was the only one at the table without a pretty girl. Yuugi saw the pout and couldn't help but giggle at the blond hair man.

"Don't worry Marik I'm sure a girl will catch your attention."

"I've heard that one too many times. The only girls that have taken an interest in me only like the looks."

Atemu put a hand on his friend's shoulder. "It will happen before you know it. So how are those new gyms your father has built coming along in Egypt?"

"They're slowly getting there. My father is working on a new fitness tape in the meantime."

Marik's father owned gyms all over the world and had produced fitness tapes of all kinds to help people get into shape. The man used to be a champion boxer, but after a blow to the head that almost put him in a coma he gave it all up and instead started up his own gyms. Marik loved what his father did, but he was more into martial arts and had won a few championships. The only reason Atemu and Marik ever met was because Marik's father and Atemu's father were childhood friends.

Atemu knew Bakura through their mothers like he did with Yuugi. Bakura's mother was a childhood friend of Amara and a successful lawyer at that. She had helped the family before with a few legal battles. The woman was not one to be messed with and neither was her husband. Bakura's father was an actor and had starred in many major action films. It was still a mystery on how Bakura's parents found each other and fell in love. Bakura was in every way like his mother and father, plus he had starred in a few films with his father to try and start up an acting career. He wasn't well known in the movie world yet, but he was getting there.

Overall just like Yuugi and Atemu, Bakura and Marik were children born into stardom, but the fame never went to their heads.

Although after what happened that afternoon between her friends, Yuugi wished she was never the child of two celebrities. It only seemed to cause trouble at the moment and she did miss her days of being a normal girl going to school. Hopefully college wasn't going to be a bitch to her or the year wasn't going to be looking up any time soon when September hit.

Sakura: Friendships are truly tested in these times!

Yumi: You're seriously are going to leave it there?

Sakura: Sure am! This is the end of the party and everyone will just have to wait and see what I have in store for Yuugi in the next chapter.

Yumi: (sighs) Please review!
