AN: I don't own Yu Gi Oh! I would like to say how much I appreciate all you reading and your reviews, I hope to have your continued interest and feedback.

On a side note, part of the reason that it has taken so long for an update (long for a 'drabble' series at least) has been because I've had several "Aha!" inspired moments, but as soon as I start writing these...they become 7 pg long stories...which is faaar too long for this series. On the plus side, however, if you enjoying reading my stuff it means that there are at least two one-shots coming hopefully soon, one of which will be based on the drabble below.

I hope you enjoy and please review.

43. Fashion

It was only after the class reluctantly left the hot springs and changed into the provided yukata that Yami no Yuugi decided to make an appearance.

After Yuugi had properly tied his obi he slipped out of sight for a second and pulled the Sennen Puzzle back over his head.

"I know mou hitori no boku doesn't like being separated like that," he muttered to himself, "I hope isn't too upset."

As soon as the puzzle landed against his chest a transparent apparition was standing at his side, slightly turned away.

"Sorry about that mou hitori no boku," Yuugi apologized before his dark half could even say a word. "You're not allowed to wear anything in the hot springs themselves so I had to take off the puzzle. I hope you're not mad."

With a reluctant ghostly sigh the spirit answered. "It's okay aibou. As long as you're alright, it's fine." He turned and lifted his head with a smile. "So, did you have fun ai-"

Suddenly the dark apparition stopped, one transparent hand quickly rose to cover his mouth.

"Mou hitori no boku are you okay?" Anxiety clearly colored Yuugi's words.

"F-fine aibou. W-what is that you're wearing?"

Obviously thrown by the question, Yuugi blinked before replying. "This? Oh, it's a yukata, a summer kimono. You also wear them after you get out of the hot springs. Are you sure you're okay mou hitori no boku? You look...kind of red...and the puzzle feels really warm. I don't know if you could have a fever if I don't have one, but are you feeling alright?"

"Y-yes, just fine aibou. You-you should go back and join the others."

"Mou hitori no boku-"

"Yuugi, come on! You're gonna miss the food!"

Without another word the spirit vanished and Yuugi found himself being dragged by the hand behind Jounouchi. Though his darker half didn't appear again, the puzzle felt very warm against his skin for the rest of their trip.

And Yuugi was quite confused when, several days after their return, his 'mou hitori no boku' appeared at his side, ignored his greeting, studied him for a long minute as he unbuttoned his uniform jacket and declared, with the utmost seriousness... "Aibou, I think...I'm very interested in traditional Japanese style."

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed and I appreciate your feedback.

Just a few notes for anyone who is confused...

A yukata is a light kimono (as explained above) both used for hot weather and for post-bathing and are frequently seen at onsen (at least from my research into it) (an onsen is a hot spring or hot spring resort-type place)

Japanese high schools tend to have a class trip somewhere...Yuugi's class went to an onsen.

(In case I really failed at explaining) Yami was all flustered and blushing b/c he thought Yuugi was abso-friggin'-lutely adorable in his yukata (hence his newfound interest in traditional Japanese fashion) (btw this is also a common trope in BL (boy's love) manga...so I can't really claim originality here)
