The Ghost of Yami Atem

Chapter 4

Yugi dropped his bag down on the floor as soon as he entered the house. He had just returned from school, and as soon as he walked in he saw his Grandpa running around like a mad man, mumbling and grumbling about how messy the house still was. Yugi shook his head to himself as he climbed the stairs to go into his room. If his Grandpa was having problems with the house, then the only thing a good grandson would do is to come up with a solution. For now, he better not disturb the man.

Looking around the house, Yugi noticed that he didn't see Yami anywhere, nor did he see him anytime during the day. Yugi in the end just assumed that Yami didn't come out during the day, since he is a ghost and all. So with that thought comfortable enough in his head, he quickly changed into a t-shirt and shorts before getting started on his homework. Eventually Grandpa would come up and force him to take a bath, then they would go back downstairs to eat dinner. Everything was pretty normal.

Nightfall came quickly. Quick for most people, but for Yami, it felt like ages.

Tonight he was finally going to get Yugi back for the other night. He was going to show the kid who's superior, and he would be victorious. Smirking, he vanished only to reappear upstairs right in front of Yugi's room which was still slightly opened. Taking a ghostly breath, he peeked into the room slowly only to have his eyes widen in confusion.

Yugi wasn't in the room.

Stepping away from the room and wondering deeply to himself, Yami was so busy thinking about where the child had gone that he didn't even notice the small figure standing behind him, mimicking his moves.

When Yami scratched his head in confusion, the figure behind him scratched his head too. Yami decided to go downstairs to look for the child, and the figure behind him followed. Yami ended up in the living room where he began to walk behind all the chairs, looking for the young boy. As Yami moved from the large couch to the loveseat, the small figure slid behind the large couch Yami had already looked behind, being silent as a mouse. He observed Yami from afar, trying his hardest to stifle his giggles.

Yami furrowed his eyebrows. "Where is he?" he asked himself softly, now standing close to where the little boy was hiding.

Yami circled that same couch again, the figure crawling away and on to the couch as soon as Yami stood behind it. He looked at the ghost's turned back cautiously, and as soon as Yami turned around, he got the fright of his life.

"HA!" Yugi shouted, then burst into fits of laughter by the look of shock that crossed Yami's face. Yami's mouth was wide open, eyes enormous and had a hand over his heart. He was left speechless! Yugi laughed some more, holding his stomach as he giggled uncontrollably.

"YUGI!" Yami then shouted, fuming at the laughing child who was now rolling on the floor.

"Haha! Y-you sh-should've s-seen your f- face! It was priceless!" Yugi said, still laughing hysterically.

Yami glared at the child.

"Do you think this is FUNNY!?" Yami shouted, arms crossed as he looked down at Yugi.

"Why do you think I'm laughing?" Yugi said, now standing up to face Yami.

"Why you..." Yami began with irritation, and seeing the look of anger, Yugi broke into a run. Yami didn't hesitate to give chase at the child who was smiling despite the impending danger of messing with a spirit.

Yugi ran all around the house, circling furniture and going under them if he had to, just so he could get away from Yami. Yami was right behind him though, mumbling curses under his breath each time he came close to catching the child, but missed.

Yugi was right in front of him, barely in arms reach. He couldn't catch the child like this. Yami then came up with what he would call, a brilliant idea. With a wave of his hand, he slid the boxes that were scattered everywhere in front of Yugi, stopping the child in his tracks. Yugi tried to get away, but Yami reached him just in time.

"No fair!" Yugi whined, pouting as he crossed his arms and then turned around to glare up at Yami.

"What are you still doing here?" Yami demanded, shooting Yugi an angry stare.

"Duh! I'm living here!" Yugi shot back, smiling innocently up at Yami even though the ghost's temper was at breaking point.

"I thought I told you to get out," Yami said, steeling himself so he could not hurt the child, even though he really wanted to give the kid a piece of his mind.

"Yeah, but you can't act all tough and get what you want, now can you," Yugi said, giving Yami a smug look.

Yami glared even further, the thought of sparing the kid slowly being consumed by anger. Instead, he used the only other way he knew when some little kid is being stubborn.

"I'm stronger than you'll ever be. You're just a mere child while I am practically twice or age. Also, as you're human, I am not," Yami stated, grinning to himself as he watched Yugi's little fists clenched.

"So!? That doesn't mean you're better!" Yugi exclaimed angrily.

"Yes it does," Yami said.

"But I'm smarter than you!" Yugi yelled, folding his arms.

"Yeah right," Yami sneered.

"I'll prove it!" Yugi exclaimed. Looking around, his eyes fell on the leaves scattered all over the floor. "See those leaves?" he asked Yami.

"Yeah."

"Well, I can blow them all outside with one breath!" Yugi said proudly, happy that Yami turned to look at him with curiosity. Perfect.

"Oh really now..." Yami trailed off, sarcasm lacing his voice.

Yugi nodded.

"Fine, let's see," Yami said.

Yugi gave one look at Yami, then turned to face the huge pile of leaves. He took a deep breath, then blew.

Yami blinked, then burst out laughing.

"Haha! Not even ONE leaf moved!" Yami cried, laughter erupting out of him.

Yugi scowled and looked at Yami. "Fine, then you do it!" he challenged.

"Fine," Yami said.

Yami turned towards the leaves, took one huge breath, and blew. Yugi watched in amazement as all the leaves rose up and flew out the opened windows, seeing as they all disappeared from the house quickly. When Yami stopped blowing a minute later, all the leaves in the house were gone.

"See!" Yami boasted, turning back to look at Yugi who was still looking at the house carefully as if expecting to still see a leaf. When Yugi didn't see anything, he glared at Yami, but a hint of something was hidden in his eyes and Yami couldn't place what it was.

"Okay, you win that round," Yugi admitted. "But…" He looked around the house once again until his eyes spotted a huge cobweb that was hanging in the corner. Seeing similar cobwebs everywhere, he grinned and knew exactly what the next challenge was.

"See that cobweb? I can take it down with my finger."

Yami looked at Yugi's little finger, and then at the big cobweb. "Ah, no, I don't think so. Let me show you how it's done." With overwhelming pride and confidence, he showed Yugi his powers. With one snap of his finger, the cobweb blew up into tiny dusts and as they fell they slowly disappeared before they could touch the ground.

Yugi hid the big grin on his face.

"See, I am more superior," Yami said with a hint of arrogance mixed in with his sneer.

"Nah, I still don't believe it," Yugi said, shaking his head sadly. "Try moving something. Like that painting!" He then pointed towards the painting that hung on the far end of the wall.

"Okay," Yami said, shrugging. It was no big deal. Easy! Just one picture.

With his arm outstretched, Yami focused then lifted the painting off the wall. Yugi stared in awe as the painting floated in the air.

"What to do with it?" Yami asked, grinning as he saw Yugi's gaping mouth.

"Put it on that wall," Yugi ordered, pointing towards the wall which was closer to the couches.

Yami does just that.

"No, I changed my mind. It looks better next to the door," Yugi said quickly, pointing to the smaller wall.

"Okay," Yami said, moving the painting again.

"Try moving something bigger. Like those boxes, or that chair!" Yugi exclaimed immediately after the painting, and he pointed at the various boxes and chairs that still needed to be placed.

Yami picked up the chair, then moved it towards the other end of the room.

"No, no, no, no! Not there, bring it back to the other end!" Yugi cried out.

Yami moved it back over.

"No I changed my mind, put it back!" Yugi shouted.

Yami growled as he moved the chair once more.

"How about those boxes? Move them upstairs and that big one next to the couches and that box in the kitchen!" Yugi said, all at once.

While Yugi was talking, Yami was picking everything up until almost everything was now in the air, moving back and forth as Yami tried to keep focused on the floating objects and all the challenges Yugi was throwing at him. If he lost focused, everything would come crashing down.

"No! Move that box in the kitchen and that chair upstairs, and that couch needs to go-"

"Enough!" Yami shouted, and by his words all the objects in the air landed on the floor with a huge bang.

"Hey! You're going to wake Grandpa-"

"Shut up!" Yami exclaimed.

Yugi shuts up.

"And come here!" Yami yelled, pointing to the spot next to him as he stood in front of the staircase.

As Yugi trudged over, Yami directed a small, wooden table next to him.

"Sit!" Yami ordered, pointing at the table.

Yugi sat.

"Cross your legs!" Yami yelled next.

Yugi crossed his legs.

Once Yami was sure Yugi wasn't going to move, he used his magic to lift the table with Yugi on it, up into the air and then freezing it there. Yugi stared wide-eye at him.

"Now, watch!" Yami commanded, and then turned towards the fallen boxes and chairs and all sorts of things in the room.

With one sweep of his arms, he directed all the objects to make two rows in front of him. Then, moving his arms back, the boxes and chairs moved like a train as they were all sent to their places.

Then, snapping his fingers, Yami made all the cobwebs in the house disappear, each one exploding into a dust of smoke.

He then turned towards the covered chairs and couches. Moving his hand back and forth quickly, he pulled the sheets off to reveal the black, leather couches and wooden chairs. Opening the boxes next, he took the plates and other utensils out and directed them towards their places in the drawers and cupboards. Flowers and vases were placed in their places, and boxes were thrown out into the big recycling bin outside.

Sighing at the job well done, Yami slammed the door, smirks to himself, then turned towards the blinking Yugi that still floated in the air. And with his hand, he finally directed the table down, setting it on the floor where it belonged.

Yami grinned at Yugi who was still blinking at him.

"See, I told you that I'm great and way better than you could ever be!" Yami said, crossing his arms with his chin up as if he was a King.

Yugi spoke after a short moment, taking the time to process everything that had just occurred right in front of them.

"Cobwebs gone?" he asked.

"Gone!" Yami said proudly.

"Leaves outside and off the porch?"

"Completely!" Yami said boldly, his ego getting bigger.

"The sheets off the chair gone?"

"Yes!"

"Boxes and chairs put away?"

"All put away!"

"House finally cleaned?" Yugi said, casting Yami a secretive look with a big smirk on his own face.

"The mansion is spotless!" Yami exclaimed, the grin widening on his face.

Yugi gave a huge smile, absolutely satisfied. "Now Grandpa won't leave!"

"Now Grandpa won't- HEY!" Yami exclaimed, pride completely gone and replaced with utter shock.

"See Yami, I told you I'm smart," Yugi said, giving him a wink as he stood up and started climbing the stairs.

Yami is left where he stood, absolutely speechless.

Yugi yawned as he stretched, stopping to turn to look at Yami once more. "Goodnight Yami," he said, before disappearing down the upstairs corridor.

After Yugi has gone, Yami was still left in shock, unmoving, mouth totally open as he stood there blinking like an idiot.

"B-b-b-but..." He started to blubber, looking up the stairs only to hear the sound of Yugi's bedroom door slamming shut.

Silence.

…

…

"ARGH!" Yami yelled angrily, his shout echoing throughout the empty house. "This is not what I planned..." he moaned, a big pout on his face as the anger was replaced with shame. Disappointed and humiliated, not wanting to face himself any longer, he disappeared to go mourn over his failure against an eight year old child.

And there's the end of the chapter! I hope you enjoyed it! I still laughed when going through the chapter again. Is the Yami shaming enough? LOL! Yugi certainly put him in his place.
