Again, I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!, 'cause it belongs to Kazuki Takahashi-sama, but I do own the OC introduced at the end of this chapter. Enjoy!)
Shōnen-Ai High School
Chapter 2
"AAAHHH! I just can't decide!"
"Yugi, just calm da hell down!"
"I'm in the middle of a crisis and all you can say is 'calm down'?!"
"It wouldn't be dat much a crisis if you listened ta me! I'm tellin' ya, man!"
"Jou-kun, you aren't helping me at all!"
"Agh! T'is is useless!"
First of all, after making that call to the Shōnen-Ai High School, Yugi was told to bring one of his stories to the building's offices to see if he had what it took to become a student. Second, he called Jounouchi and asked his friend to help him deciding which of his stories to take; of course, after Jounouchi forced Yugi to thank him for making him search on internet.
But it seemed that things weren't going so well...
Yugi was probably just about to explode.
"What if none of my stories are good enough?! What am I going to do then, Jou-kun?!"
And Jounouchi wasn't being the helping hand he was most of the times.
"Well, I dunno! You're da one who was so excited 'bout entering dat school!"
"Who's getting killed up here?!" And eventually, they both argued loud enough for at least half of the city to hear them, so Yugi's grandpa, Sugoroku, went upstairs to check on them. "Do you have to be that noisy?"
"Gomen ne, jii-chan..." apologized both of them.
"Oi, oi, daijoubu!" said Sugoroku. "What's the matter, anyway?"
"Well, you see, jii-chan," began Yugi, "remember that I called the Shōnen-Ai High School and asked them to let me become a student?" His grandpa nodded. "The thing is that they asked me to take a story with me so they can see if I got what it takes."
"And what's the problem?"
"Da problem's dat Yugi can't decide on what story ta take!" answered Jounouchi.
"Do you have any story that you like the most?" asked the elder. "Your first one, for example, the one of the..." Sugoroku had trouble remembering the first story Yugi had ever written.
"In fact..." said Yugi, looking down with a hidden smile on his face. "In fact, that story has this special meaning to me, it's something sentimental." The teenager smiled widely and looked up. "It was my first great work and I'm sure—"
"—that it'll be good enough to guarantee your entrance to that school!" finished his grandpa. Jounouchi sighed and put both of his hands at the back of his head.
"I wished t'is'd been t'is easier from da beginning!" he whined.
"Arigatou gozaimasu, jii-chan!" thanked Yugi as he stood up. "Now I just have to find the folder where I put that story."
"Is it hand-written or did you write it on the computer?" asked his grandpa.
"Eh? Why the question, jii-chan?" asked the blonde.
"It's only that I thought that the people at the school would like to see the story written in computer," explained Sugoroku.
"He's kinda right on that, Yuge."
"Hm... in any case, I'll have the original one and a computer written copy, ne?" said Yugi.
"Dat works for me!" Just after speaking, Jounouchi's cell phone rang. "Moshi moshi? Oi, Shizuka, I'm just at Yugi's place!" The mentioned teenager giggled as he realized the blonde's younger sister was at the other side of the line. "Hai, Shizuka." Jounouchi separated the phone from his ear. "Say 'hi', you two."
"Hello, Shizuka!" they both said happily. The blonde smiled and pulled his phone closer to his ear again.
"Yush... demo...! Hai... love ya too, Shizuka!" he said before hanging up. "Etto, I hafta go, Yuge."
"Something wrong, Jou-kun?"
"Iie," he answered. "Remember dat Shizuka's movin'?" The other two nodded. "Well, I was supposed ta help 'er," said Jounouchi standing up from his place.
"What a bad example of a responsible big brother, Jounouchi!" said Sugoroku waving a finger in a disapproving way.
"Well, I'm sure that Jou-kun's doing what he can!" added Yugi in his friend's defense.
"So, I'll see ya two later!" The blonde made his way to the door. "And good luck, Yuge!"
"Arigatou, Jou-kun!" Then Jounouchi left the Mutou house.
"Anyway, you need to start searching for that folder or you won't have story at all!" reminded the elder.
"Hai, you're right!" replied his grandson as he stood up from the floor. "Arigatou, jii-chan!" After his grandpa left, Yugi knelt down and took a folder from under his bed's mattress, taking some paper sheets out of it. Time to work!
-
Yugi woke up the next day at the sound of a very annoying alarm. He groaned and turned to see the clock beside his bed. It read 6:08 AM. He also looked down at himself, groaning as he realized he fell asleep on his computer chair.
I just slept about 3 hours... The teenager smiled. But I guess it was worth it.
Yugi spent most of the previous day's afternoon checking his story and making some changes on it, so after all, he had 2 copies in total: the hand-written one and the computer written one. He sighed, leaning back on his chair.
"Yugi, are you awake yet?" The teenager almost jumped when he heard his grandpa's voice and knocking on the closed door. He turned to the clock again; this time it read 6:30 AM. He'd spent nearly thirty minutes just sitting on his chair? "Yugi!"
"Hai, jii-chan!" replied Yugi. "I'll take a quick bath and then I'll leave, ne?"
"Yush!"
-
"IIE! How did I run out of time?!"
Somehow, after his shower, the almost half an hour that Yugi supposed he'd have to walk to the offices turned into 10 minutes. To make his luck worse, the way there was at least 25 minutes walking. The only possible answer left? Run and pray to Ra he got on time, of course! But just when he was turning on a block—
"OW! Oi, what's your problem, huh?!" —Yugi accidentally bumped into a female motorcyclist, who unfortunately fell to the ground as a result of the impact.
"Sumimasen!" apologized the teenager. "Daijoubu?" he asked, standing up and offering his hand.
"Hai, hai, I'm okay!" said the stranger as she took Yugi's hand and he helped her to get on her feet. That's when he noticed that she had curly and short very-deep-blue-colored hair that ended right above her shoulders, and she didn't look like an adult at all. Probably she was about Yugi's age or maybe even younger.
"Oh, well, then," he began, "I'm glad that I didn't hurt you! Demo, I'm in a bit of a hurry, so sayonara!"
"If you don't mind me asking," she started before he could leave, "why are you in such a hurry, eh?"
"Etto, you see, I need to get to the offices between the Domino Studio and the Japanese Market in about 10 minutes and I'm really running late!" answered Yugi.
"The ones next to the Shōnen-Ai High School?" He nodded. The girl got on her motorcycle again."I can give you a ride if you'd like," she told him. "I was going just to the same way."
"Really?" asked Yugi with stars in his eyes.
"Sure, get on!" The male nodded again with excitement and did as told.
"Oh, wait, before I forget, what's your name?" She chuckled and turned her head back to look at him with the corner of her eye.
"The name's Satori Kerii!" she answered with a big smile across her face. "You can call me Kerii-chan!" Kerii winked at him.
"My name is Mutou Yugi," he replied. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Kerii-chan!"
"Pleasure's all mine, Yugi-kun!" The motorcycle's engine started roaring. "So, you need to be there in what, 5 minutes? Then you're gonna need this!" Kerii grabbed a helmet and put it on Yugi's head. She laughed at seeing his confused face. "You're gonna have to hold on tight if we wanna get you there on time!" Before Yugi could speak, the girl moved them both into the street and stepped on the accelerator with all her strength. "WHOO HOO!" she yelled looking up, laughing as if nothing in the world mattered. He gripped her shoulders tightly and buried his face on her back.
"You know, Kerii-chan, I need to get there ALIVE!"
(A/N: There you go!! I totally love Kerii! And! she's gonna be one of the main characters now as she'll have an important role on the plot.
