Puzzled Blindness
Chapter 4
Out of the ordinary
Yami lead Yugi down the hall to his room. Yami opened the door and Yugi gasped. "Y-Yami.. Who did this?"
Yami giggled "I did silly."
"A-Are you serious?"
"Yep. Pop Pop said this is my room, so I can do as I please."
Yugi's mouth hung open as he looked around the room. The wall was painted tan, it had a golden colored border around the top, it looked almost 3D the way the ripples in it were. There were paintings of people with dog, falcon, and cat heads just below it. Around the bottom was a beautiful blue border with white trim. There was writing on one wall that Yugi couldn't read, a can of brown paint and a small paint brush lay over next to that wall. Yugi could only guess that it was because the writing wasn't done. Yami had a bed big enough for two with a tan blanket that had blue edges, his pillow cases matched, he had a bedside table that had a lamp on it. The carpet was a darker tan than the walls and had a large rectangular blue rug that had a thin white rectangle inside it.
Atem arrived back home and ran inside. He ran down to the game room, he looked confused when he didn't see Yami there. He looked worried when he didn't see Yugi there either. "Any of you seen Yami or Yugi?"
"Wen' upstairs to get somethin to eat" Joey said from the beanbag.
Atem ran up the stairs, he didn't see them in the kitchen so he walked down the hallway. Both bedroom doors were closed, he opened his and Heba's door and didn't see either of them, so he went down the hall some more to Yami's room...
"Wow" was all that Yugi could manage.
Yami giggled at Yugi's facial expression. "You like it?"
"This is freaking amazing" Yugi exclaimed.
"It's not THAT great" Yami chuckled.
"Are you kidding me, you're amazing Yami. I can't believe you-"
Atem busted through the door "Whatever you're doing just sto... uh... What ARE you guys doing?"
"I was showing Yugi my room, and my chinchilla..." Yami said, narrowing his eyes, but relaxing from his protective position in front of Yugi.
Atem relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh thank Ra... Anyway, trade me!" Atem pulled out the money from his wallet and switched it with the wad of cash Yami held.
"D-Dad... What did you think we were doing?"
"OH! Uh... Um... Nothing... I was uh... Just curious, that's all. Enjoy your night, and get those pizzas ordered" Atem waved as he walked out of the room and back out to the car.
"That was weird..." Yami said.
Yugi's eyes were still a little wide "I'll say..." Yugi turned back towards the weird symbols on the wall "Hey Yami... What are those symbols and what do they say?"
Yami's eyes widened for a second and turned to the symbols on the wall. "Oh, those are heiroglyphics. Ancient Egyptian heiroglyphics to be exact. They say 'Love knows no genders, nor bounds. Love is led, not by facts, or opinions, but by the heart. True love expands past the bounds of family and friendship to something greater. So follow your heart, stay on track, and one day soon, love will find you.'"
"Wow Yami... That's beautiful... Where did you get all that from?"
"My mom... I mean, she told my Pop Pop, and Pop Pop has been telling me since I could walk and talk."
"That's so cool" Yugi sighed and looked around the room. There was a brown dresser over in the corner with a cage on it. "Is that your chinchilla?"
"Yep" Yami walked over to the cage "You have to be quiet, because she has sensitive ears. Loud noises scare her." Yami opened up the cage, Yugi had yet to see any type of animal in it.
"Where is it?" Yugi whispered.
"That house right there. It's her dust bath, she sleeps in there a lot" Yami whispered back.
"Dust bath?" Yugi asked raising his eyebrow.
"Yeah, chinchillas have to have a dust bath, it helps make their fur soft."
"Oh..."
"They have to have Aspen bedding, and bottled water too." Yugi heard something move and he looked to see the chinchilla jumping out of the dust bath. It shook off and dust went everywhere.
"She's so cute" Yugi whispered.
Yami stuck his arm in the cage and the chinchilla jumped on it. "When they climb on you it means they like you. Chinchillas are very skittish, and fast movements make them nervous." Yami pulled the chinchilla out of the cage and she jumped up his arm and sat on his shoulder.
"She's a very pretty color" Yugi said.
"She's an ebony colored chinchilla. Pop Pop says she's worth a lot of money." Yami turned and smiled at Yugi. "You can pet her if you'd like" Yami reached up and pulled her down off his shoulder. He held her in his hands while Yugi pet her.
"She's so soft" Yugi whispered.
Yami giggled. He slowly placed the chinchilla back in her cage, locking it up. "We should go get some pizza ordered" Yami told Yugi.
Yugi smiled and nodded "I'm sure Joey is about to disintegrate into nothing without food."
Yami and Yugi giggled. They walked out of the room, Yami closed the door and the two of them headed down the hallway, back towards the game room. "Hey you guys, what kind of pizza do you want?" Yami asked once they got back in the room. "Dad gave me enough for three pizzas, so I need to know..."
"Well, ya gotta have a meat lovers, and a pepperoni..." Joey said thinking. Yami and Yugi looked at each other and giggled. "What's so funny?"
"Oh nothing..." Yami said smiling at Joey. "What about the third? Girls?"
"You know what sounds really good? Some taco pizza" Serenity gasped.
Mai looked at her and nodded "I agree, some taco pizza sounds delicious right now."
"Okay, meat lovers, pepperoni, and taco pizza. Good for everyone?" Yami asked looking around at everyone. Everyone nodded "Good, now I'm going upstairs to call it in and have it delivered."
"Sounds good" Joey said.
Yugi walked over to watch Joey for a few while Yami went to call in the order. Marik had joined in Malik's card game and they were getting along great. Ryou and Bakura were laughing over something they were reading. Mai and Serenity were sitting over in the beanbags in the corner giggling. Duke, Joey, and Tristan were still playing on the xbox.
Yugi noticed that Yami had been taking a while on ordering pizzas. He walked quietly up the stairs and found Yami to the left in the livingroom. He had his back to Yugi so he didn't see him come up the stairs. Yami was looking at pictures that were on the large wooden T.V. stand. "Y-Yami?" Yugi said quietly.
"This is my grandma and grandpa. Dad got a call from them the other night" Yami turned towards Yugi a smile on his face and his crimson red eyes sparkling "Grandma drives me crazy, but I love her, she misses me a lot."
Yugi smiled and walked over to stand next to Yami. "What are their names?"
"My grandpa's name is Aknamkanon, grandma is Yamino." Yami put the picture up and picked up another one. "This is grandpa's brother, Aknadin, and his wife Helen." He picked up another picture frame. This picture looked older, the edges of it were worn. There was a man and woman in it. "This is my great grandma and great grandpa. Artemis and Rin Sennen. They were blessed with two sons, five grandkids, and six great grandkids."
"Wow." Yugi noticed some more pictures with different people in them. "What about those guys?"
Yami put down the picture of Artemis and Rin and picked up another picture. "This is Dad's brother Mahad, his wife Isis, and their son, Marik."
"Wait, so Marik is your cousin?"
"Yugi I thought you guys already knew that. Marik, Bakura, and Seto are all my cousins..."
"Oh yeah!" Yugi giggled "I guess it still hasn't soaked in yet. Marik looks younger in that picture."
"Yeah, he was only seven in this picture." Yami put the picture down and picked up another one. "This is Bakura, dad's sister Mana, and her husband Takada."
"Awww, look at Bakura! He was so cute when he was little!" Yugi giggled.
"So, Aknamkanon and Yamino had Mahad, Mana, then dad, Atem. Aknadin and Helen had Shada and Karim. This is Shada, his wife Ishizu, and their son Odion." Yami said holding up another picture. He put that picture down and held up another "And this is Karim, his wife Cynder, and their sons Seto and Mokuba."
"Oh my gosh, Seto was adorable too! So that's Seto's mom and dad?"
"Yep, that's uncle Karim and aunt Cynder. Mokuba was just a baby in this picture."
"He's adorable. So, where's your guy's picture at?"
Yami turned around and put down the picture he was holding. He stood on his toes and grabbed a picture off the top shelf. It was Atem and Heba, Heba was to the left, sitting on his knees to be the same height of a very young Yami. Yami looked about four or five and he was currently in the middle of two sets of lips on his cheeks. A cranky pout mixed with a smile was on his face, his small arms were crossed across his tiny little chest. Heba leaned to Yami and kissed his left cheek while Atem was on the right leaning towards him kissing his right cheek. Atem was in a white button up shirt, dark blue blue jeans, brown boots, his eyes were closed and, despite the kiss he was currently giving, a smile was on his face. Heba was in a pink button up shirt, medium blue denim jeans, white tennis shoes, his face mimmiking Atem's. Yami was in a tan tank-top-like top, a golden belt around his waist, a tan kilt with a blue cloth down the middle. Golden bands were on his biceps, and around his wrists and ankles. He also wore a golden collar looking thing that Yugi didn't know what to call, a golden crown type thing on his head, and golden earrings in his ears. (Basically Yami is in his Egyptian pharaoh outfit minus the cape and the pointy thing on his left shoulder :P)
"Your ears are pierced?" Yugi asked looking confused.
Yami giggled "Of all the things to ask, that's what you ask. Yes, my ears are pierced, but those ones didn't technically go through my ears. They were held on by those bands going up my ears."
Yugi looked closer and noticed the bands Yami was talking about. "Oh. Wow Yami, you guys look so different compared to the others. Though I must say you guys look so happy, and you look adorable. You look a lot like...-"
"An egyptian pharoah?" Yami provided.
"Yeah.. It's a great look by the way..."
"Thanks" Yami said blushing.
"How old were you in this picture, Yami?"
"I was five. So it was ten years ago."
"Wow. Where were these taken?"
"Egypt. We lived there up until a few years ago. Then we moved here. And I've had to change schools three times since we moved here. And, hopefully, I can stay here."
"I hope so, it wouldn't be as much fun if you had to leave again." Yugi turned to face Yami and smiled "And I promise, no matter what, you can always count on me."
Yami did a crooked smile and his eyelids lowered a little "Thanks Yugi. I'm glad to have friend like you." Just then the doorbell rang "And there's the pizza!" Yami said. He ran down the stairs with Yugi at his heels, while the others came up the stairs to the landing. Yami opened the door and handed the delivery guy the money, got his change back, and took the pizzas inside.
Once they were upstairs Yami got down a bunch of plates and sat them on the counter. Everyone got pizza and went to sit in the living room and watch T.V. while they ate.
Once they were done they continued to watch T.V. for a little bit. "So, what are you guys gonna do?" Yami asked.
"Well, I'll stay, I don't have to go home" Joey said.
"I'll have to call my grandpa and let him know where I am, but I'll stay with ya" Yugi said.
"And you know Bakura and I are staying" Marik said.
"I'll stay" Duke said.
"Oh to heck with it, we're all stayin'" Joey said.
Yami and the others laughed. "Okay, well, here's my cell and there's the house phone, so you guys can get to calling your parents and whatnot."
"Alright" they all agreed.
Me: And so the calls to home begin. Next chapter Atem and Heba return home :) Let's see what's going on here :P As always *waves* Until next time you guys :) Goodbye!
