Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction / Fan Fiction ❯ Those Two Years ❯ Of Lessons and Kisses ( Chapter 7 )

Another long wait I know, but again, don't kill me! I had a couple more tests and recently a major history exam and I need to decide what electives next year. I'm still going between Culinary Arts (Advanced Cooking) and Advanced Art. I probably won't make it into advanced art 'cause I couldn't draw decently if my life depended on it but I can try…

I still want to try and rewrite a few chapters of my other stories but life is just being extremely hectic and I lost my inspiration and self-esteem to keep writing a couple weeks ago. I finally showed some of my writing to a friend who down right said that the entire idea of the story was extremely weird and stupid and basically my writing stunk. She put it extremely plainly too, not even bothering to think much about my feelings.

I, of course, laughed and agreed since I know my writing skills are bad but she doesn't really know how much it really hurt my already low self-esteem. So I stopped writing for week or so before I finally got over it and decided not to care since anymore since I've been basically doing that for awhile. It didn't help the fact that she too likes to write and I've read some of her fanfiction, which is based on several Mary-Sues, OCs, and overused plots. It wasn't overly good either but I never said anything bad against her and told it was really good even though I really thought it was just okay.

…

Okay, so that is a lie. I thought I t was pretty bad with spelling errors, grammar errors, and all around not too good. Not to mention that she always brags about how wonderful her writing skills are and how long she's been writing. And always says she's in depression and how horrible her life is when she doesn't even know the meaning of actual life.

Then there is life itself at school and home, my friends have no idea what it's like for me at home and probably never will. I'm always happy, funny, and slightly sarcastic around them and general have the mind of a 2-year-old. Then they go about with all their little teenage gossip of 'Oh my god! I can't believe their going out!' 'He's so hot!' or 'He's just asked me out! Yay!' And since they're my friends I pretend to care about all their little life and when in reality I wish to just shove a stick up their ass and tell them shut the hell up.

Anywho, enough of my boring, meaningless so-called-life and on with the important part and why you're here, the actual story. ^_^; Oh yeah, review responses are now going to be at the end of the chapter, k?

Also, sorry if there is any identity confusion within the story, I try to keep it so when other people are thinking of Yugi, it's Khelil, and when not it's just Yugi but I'm sure everyone gets to general idea, right?

Another note, is that if anyone wants to know about my updates, look at my profile every once in awhile, I don't update too often their but it'll tell you most of the important things. Also, Lover's Phoenix readers, I shall have to take a small break from it since I can't think of what else to write in that story. Oh yeah, I rewrote the last chapter in Gone so please go read it to see if you like it better than before!

~*~ October 12 ~*~

Yugi sighed, as he was once again sitting on his oak desk, absently twirling a stand of blond hair as his 5th year Slytherin and Gryffindor walked in to the classroom chatting on random topics. It was almost Halloween and he'd finally managed to get the class not to try and kill each other and not having to explain to Poppy why over half of his class was sent to the Hospital wing after each class.

Hermione, unsurprisingly, was the only student for awhile to not try to kill their party and then soon other students followed. Surprisingly, Draco and Harry was one of the quick followers who seemed to have made a truce after the first few days to be civil to each other after Draco tried to lead Harry off one of the moving staircases, and Harry purposefully made the ground harder to purposefully drop Draco when the had to catch the other who was blindfolded. Let's just say now Hufflepuff was in the lead for the House Cup…

After the had past the trust games (which took a good month) he had to move them to start working as a team together which was harder then it sounded. Though they had worked okay in partner, when it came to the entire class trying to work, it was pure chaos so he was forced to separate them into 3 smaller groups which worked better.

It was finally the day for him to move on to the actual lesson. Yugi simply prayed that the work of the last two months wouldn't fall apart now.

~*~

The magical bell rang, signally in the start of class and the class immediately quieted down as the look at their teacher who, for once, wasn't dressed in leather. Yugi was clad in a regular black robe, similar to the school robes just with the house symbol absent. The usual neck collar was seen from under the robe along with his wristband but other from that he was dressed relatively normal (or abnormal for him).

Yugi smiled as he pulled at his wand, "So, now I've finally decided to teach you something other then not to kill or attempt bodily harm on one another."

The class looked at Yugi silently, wondering what Khelil had in store for them. Yugi continued to smile as he pointed to Neville, "Neville, what is the first thing that comes to mind when I say the word 'dark'?

Neville looked around nervously and started to fidget but stopped when he looked at Khelil who gave him a comforting smile. "Well, evil, I guess."

"Thank you Neville," Yugi said before he pointed to a Slytherin and asked the same question and their answer was similar. He continued up and down the rows, repeating the question to each student and came up with nearly the same answer, evil. Almost every single student gave the same answer and each time Khelil said nothing and just moved on.

When he had gone through everyone he just sat there, looking at the class before he spoke, "Now, what is everyone's conclusion on darkness?"

"That dark is just the same as evil," Ron said, without hesitation, causing Yugi to smile at him.

"Our minds were originally like mirrors: when facing mountains, they reflect mountains, and when facing water, they reflect water. But the ignorance of this world is like floating dust that distorts and obscures the reflecting images," Yugi said softly, so softly that some people had to make sure he said anything at all.

Dean looked at him confused, "What do you mean?"

Yugi turned to look at Dean, who was seated next to Goyle, before he turned to looked back at the entire class. "What I mean is what I said. When you are a child, your mind only understands what it sees, no other influence and you see what you want and think what you want, similar to how a mirror works. But as you grow and are introduced to the world, it influences your thoughts and your mind no longer your own. Your thoughts are changed due to the corruption of the world around you.

All your answers are the same; darkness is evil. The correct definition of the work darkness is concealed or secret, mysterious, or lacking light. Evil is defined as being morally bad or wrong. How is there a connection?" Yugi stopped as he watched the classroom, many of them looking to be in deep thought. (Okay, so maybe only a few that included Hermione, Harry, Pansy, and Draco.)

Yugi continued, "Voldemort is said to be the Dark Lord, but I truly do not think he fits the description. He is not concealed or secretive but he may be evil or maybe simply not completely understood. We do not know his situation for we truly have no right to judge him since he don't know him. The world isn't in black and white and that is something everyone should understand.

Three of the most powerful spells that are known are the Unforgiveables. One allows another to control one's mind, another causes great mental and physical pain, and the last kills in an instant. But they are neither good nor evil, dark or light. They are only as bad as those who use them.

I'll give everyone an example with the Killing Curse, which gives instant death. It may seem evil and cruel for it to be used but again, you must know the situation of its two uses. It can be used in battle, to kill an enemy or an innocent or another where it can be used to end the pain of someone dear. If someone is hurt and you know they will die a slow a painful death even if they get medical help. Which is better, allow them to day slowly, drawing out their misery until their last breathe or end it painlessly for them?"

"It's still killing someone, I'd rather ending it for them in a better way," one of the Gryffindors said.

"A better way? What better way? Stabbing them with a knife? Letting them bleed to death from the wound? Or maybe you prefer a more humane way? Strangling perhaps? Slitting their throat? I'm sure those are just absolutely painless," Yugi said, sarcasm drenching his words.

"Whether any of you accept it or not, the Killing Curse is the most painless way for someone to die, for the victim feels no pain."

Another person spoke up now, "How would you know they feel no pain. Not like you've experienced it."

Yugi laughed but nodded, "True, I've never actually experienced it but have you ever seen it in action. The victim doesn't cry out in pain, they simply… die. Mediwizards and mediwitches can exam the body, they find something abnormal, because technically, the bodies of those who died from the curse, should be alive because everything is fine other than the fact that there dead."

The teen smirked, "Besides, have any of you every actually asked the Bloody Baron exactly how he died?"

Several gasps were heard throughout the class. Hermione was the first to ask, "You actually asked the Bloody Baron?"

Yugi shrugged, "No, he told me himself. He probably would have told you himself too if anyone bothered to ask."

"But if the Killing Curse doesn't hurt you, why is he covered in blood?" Blaise asked.

Yugi smiled sadly at him, "Who ever said it was his own blood?"

The entire class looked at each other silently.

Yugi smiled before he grabbed a piece of chalk and continued their lesson.

~*~

The bell rang signally the end of the period, the class filing out in silence. Yugi absently twirled a piece of blond hair as Harry stayed behind to talk.

"You okay, Khel?" Harry asked, her sparkling emerald eyes shining in slight concern.

"Of course not. Why do you ask?" Yugi said, confused.

Harry shrugged, "You just seemed less yourself this lesson."

Yugi smiled sweetly; "I'm fine, I've just been thinking about a few things." 'Like how the hell to get you and Draco to stop being so bloody stubborn and admit you both have feelings for the other. Then again, it would help for you two to discover the feeling first, huh?'

~*~ October 21 ~*~

Yugi walked around the school grounds idly, not paying much attention to where his legs took him. He was dressed in his school uniform, the Slytherin crest glistening in the moonlight.

He wasn't oblivious to the looks Draco shot him when he thought he wasn't looking then again, what did he expect. Nor did he not notice the looks Harry seemed to have been sending Draco when he thought no on was looking.

He could tell that Harry was already attracted to the young Dragon. The longing gazes and sweet blushes were enough for him to notice. He was surprised that no one else had, then again, he was rather observant about some things.

Yugi sighed again as he walked along the lake, one of the giant squid's tentacles visible near the lake's center. He'd been a bit off lately, been thinking too much of the past and too little of the present. He couldn't deny he missed Yami and it took everything in him to go back to Domino and pretend he never left. Light and Darkness always wish to be near and when apart both have the longing to complete themselves. And since, of course, Yami currently had no idea were he was, Yugi had the incredible urge to return.

Yugi shook his head, pushing the thought away as he continued walking.

~*~

Draco Malfoy turned around sharply as he heard a few twigs snap, his grey eyes meeting those of Khelil Sef. Draco glared half-heartedly at the professor before he snapped, "What are you doing here Mudblood?"

Khelil simply smiled, ignoring the comment, and sat down next the blond, looking at the calm lake.

Draco glared but couldn't deny how nice it felt to have the other near.

The two sat in silence, each barely noticing that they moved slightly closer together for warmth from the autumn night. Yugi's voice brought Draco out from his thoughts.

"What's wrong?" he said softly, his voice full of concern.

Draco glared again, "What makes you think there is something wrong?"

Yugi smiled knowingly, "Don't kid yourself, my dragon. You've been a bit off for the last week." Yugi looked at him, his eyes shining in genuine concern.

Draco turned away, "Why do you care? Not like we're friends."

"Who ever says we're not? Don't lock yourself away from everyone, that's probably the worst thing a person can do."

"You should follow your own advice sometime then." Draco said bitterly, looking back out to the lake.

Yugi's reply was soft, "Maybe I should. You can trust me, Draco. Please."

Draco sighed before he spoke, "I received a letter from my father a few days ago. He… he wants me to Voldie-dearest during Christmas vacation." He spat out Voldemort's umm… new umm… name like it was a curse word, obvious dislike in his voice.

Yugi hand moved toward him, gently stroking his cheek. "And you don't want to?"

Draco's eyes harden, "Of course not! Just because I'm in Slytherin, everyone assumes that I wish to join the slimy git."

Yugi giggles, oddly enough, "Don't forget I'm in Slytherin too, Dragon."

Draco smiled slightly but dropped quickly, "I just don't know what to do now. I can't refuse my father's request but I don't want to pledge my life to some ugly old snake." He looked away, looking as though he was trying not to cry.

Yugi moved closer to Draco, wrapping his arms gently around the blond in a small hug. Draco stiffened slightly but quickly relaxed into the hug. It was different though, from Khelil usual… manner of doing things. It wasn't intimate or seductive. It was just… friendly, in a way.

Draco nuzzled Yugi's neck slightly, wondering how long the two have been in that position. One minute, two minutes? No, longer. Maybe 10-15 minutes he'd say.

Yugi looked up at Draco, his bright amethyst eyes shining in concern. One pale hand moved up to brush a strand of his growing blond hair away from his face. "Are you okay now, Dragon?"

Draco slightly moved his head from where it rested earlier, his grey-blue eyes meeting those of the tri-colored hair teen. The blond nodded, "Thanks, Khel."

Yugi smiled, "No problem. Anything for a friend."

'A friend?' Draco looked at Khelil, who was still smiling. 'That, that sounds nice.'

Yugi moved forward, brushing his lips against Draco's cheek in a chaste kiss.

Draco blushed, but part of his mind was noticing how soft Yugi's lips were. Draco eyes landed on the other teen's pink lips, trying to fight the urge to feel the softness again. 'Screw it already.'

Yugi's eyes widened as he felt Draco cover his lips with his own. Sure, he knew Draco was attracted to him but he never thought the blond, which actually act out on it.

Yugi gasped as he felt Draco's tongues move against his lips, accidentally allowing the other boy to slip his tongue in Yugi's mouth.

Yugi moaned as he felt Draco pull him into his lap before threading his figures through Yugi's gravity defying hair.

Yugi closed his eyes as he kissed back slowly, wrapping his arms around the blonde's neck. He couldn't deny that Draco as a good kisser and he's been so… lonely lately. 'Maybe he can help me forget…'

The two parted, both panting, a blush appearing on Draco's cheeks, which was matched with Yugi's own blush. Yugi's blush deepened when he noticed he was straddled to the blond's hips.

Yugi stood up quickly, moving away from the blond who as still sitting, his blush even brighter. "I'd better get back to the castle. I'll um… see you tomorrow," Yugi said nervously.

"Yeah," Draco said as he watched Yugi ran back toward the castle. He'd never seen the teen act so nervous. 'Well, fuck. Did I just screw up or what? What the hell am I supposed to do now.'

~*~

Yugi mumbled the password as the picture swung open before quickly rushing in and collapsing on the bed. He shook his head; a few glistening tears fell from his amethyst jewels. Ra, he was so confused at the moment. He knew he loved Yami, that was for sure, but when Draco kissed him… it just felt so… so right.

He looked up when felt something brush his arm, meeting the sapphire eyes of Nefertiri.

: What's wrong, Master Yugi? : She asked, her words laced with motherly concern.

The young professor buried his face in her thick fur, his arms wrapped around her neck. Nefertiri unfolded her wings, gently wrapping them around the petite teen.

: I'm just so confused now! I love Yami, but… Draco kissed me today and I, I enjoyed it. : Yugi replied, his voice quivering. He hadn't been so confused in such a long time. Since… since Yami and his friends started ignoring him.

: Hush little one, it'll be okay. Follow your heart for it can't lead you wrong. :

Yugi smiled slightly, looking back up with shining eyes. : Thank you, Nefertiri. You always seem to know what is best. :

The sphinx smiled, : Now go to sleep, young master. You have class tomorrow. :

Yugi smiled mischievously, : Yes, mother. :

Yugi laughed as he dodged an airborne pillow.

UPDATE: Poo, I was almost done with this chapter and starting the review responses when my computer goes poop on me. Evil… I keep get a large amount of pop-ups and my computer is constantly freezing on me. So we need to get our computers washed out for viruses. It's completely evil I swear. So even if I do finish the next chapter soon, I won't be able to post it for awhile. I have to transfer everything to the ancient computer, which literally takes ages. And I mean ancient computer, it doesn't have MS Word on it and we couldn't find a replacement mouse because none of the new mouses (or is it mice?) have the correct plug for it and cordless don't work on it either. Evil….

Anywho, more Yugi/Draco-ness… ^_^ But now poor little Yu-chan is confused on h is feeling… Aw, poor baby. It'll all get cleared up after a bit more snogging. ^_^ Jealous Harry comes up and then a bit of Draco/Harry. I also hope Yugi was just a tad more in character this chapter while he was comforting Draco. I've always figured Yugi to be kind of touchy around people and that he just enjoys physical contact so that's why Yugi gave Draco a hug. ^_^

This story should end up about 15 chapters I think, give or take a few chapters. ^_^;; Anywho, hope everyone enjoyed this! Now, push the little purple-blue button that says 'Go' on it to make the authoress happy! ^_^

Review Thanks on FF.net: magic_shield, UsagiLovesDuoChan, It'sHardToBelieve, Jenniyah, Curtis Zidane Ziraa, Strega, shadow-demon18b, LilBlue-Hedggie, Kokoro Kawari, SilverKnight7, hobbit13, Anneirda Nikaru, Midnight Fairy, Dark Teargem Rain, Lissa14, Akiko Koishii, YamiXYugi, Rin, Argun Lux, Sabby-chan Yaoi Fan, Senia Naku, Female half-breed,Violet Blossoms, Toki Mirage, insanechildfanfic, and fluer21 (Well dang, that's a lot of people… -huggles you all-)

Fluer21- Thankies, I love this kind OOC Yugi. I find it adorable. He's a bit more in character this chapter so it's a bit confusing. More sext and flirty Yugi coming up though… I think. ^_^;

Toki Mirage- Yeah, I know it's Atemu now (Personally, I think they should have picked a more exotic name for Mi-chan) but I'm just way too lazy to go back and change it now. ^_^;;

Rin- Winking Yugi is adorable but one person did mention I had him wink too much. ^_^ I think Yugi will eventually tell Dumbledore a bit but not everything…

Dark Teargem Rain- ^_^ I think I've already read your story, have I reviewed it though? ^_^U I don't remember. If not I'll go review it, kk?

Midnight Fairy- Yugi/Draco/Harry? That is very kinky… ^^ I like. Hm… I might add that if I can think of a way to get it in but I want to make Yugi's relationships with the Harry Potter cast to be relatively brief since he still madly in love with Yami. Then again… maybe some Yami/Yugi/Draco/Harry might be in order… ^_^; Joking… I think.

Anneirda Nikaru- I tend to overdo little Yu-chan a lot. I didn't even notice I was making him wink so much. ^_^ I noticed smirking but didn't really think too much about it. -huggles Yugi- Hmm… I tried to get Yugi more on the 'friendship' view instead of a sexual way of looking at him but it seems out little Dragon couldn't' help himself. ^_^ I'll try to get some of Yugi's faults here and there for you to make him more human instead of the little perfect angel. First, I think I need to actually think of some faults and mistakes he can make… The character I'm trying to get Yugi into is one where he is clever, sarcastic, sly, and adorable when he's around a lot of people but he's actually really emotionally hurt when thinking about the past. The ending part of the sorting when he talks to Draco kind of shows or hints on that. Maybe I'm just not making it clear then huh? I'll try to write a small side story since I gave Yugi a different childhood story then in the manga.

Hobbit13- -falls over laughing- I was just joking! ^_^;; I wouldn't put a Severus pairing here, it'll most likely end up as Remus/Sirius. No fear! No Severus pairing in this story… IoaD is another story though… ^_^;

Strega- Trust games are pretty interesting, along with teamwork ones. I had to do the blindfold ones at the beginning of the school year and it was pretty funny. I accidentally fell off a platform though because I knew the edge was there but I didn't know it was so close so I took a step and fell off. We couldn't' talk to our partners at all either so it made it even harder. One guy told his partner to turn too soon and ended up making him run into a wall. Another funny thing that happened was we had to climb up the platform I fell off of (and this is outside) and one blindfolded guy accidentally slipped his hand into a puddle and water and he didn't know what it was. 'Twas very funny.

UsagiLovesDuoChan- Hmm… I'm trying to add both Yugi/Draco and Yugi/Harry in somehow since I was trying to decide between them and I already had a bit of Yugi/Draco so I decided just to do both. ^_^ When life gives you lemons, read them! ^________^ It would annoy me If I didn't eventually change them all I just need to remember if I put Panseru on anything else in this story. I changed the ones in Gone but the others, I don't remember. ^^

Review Thanks on MM.org: SilverKitsune!!!, Shadows_Of_The_Past, Crazy bout Ryou, C.M. Aeris, Ling Ling, GemJewel, EroilSirian, Rowan Girl, JaggedLittlePill, persom, and Writer For Hire

Writer For Hire- I don't' add those in too often but every once in awhile I get the urge to say something in the middle of the story. I don't usually put them in though… or do I?

EroilSiriam- Yugi's major OOC I know but I love him that way. -huggles Yu-chan- Acting like Yami? Never really thought about that before I knew Draco meant Dragon in something I just didn't remember it earlier when I wrote it and now I'm too lazy to go back and change it. ^_^; I noticed I spelled Sevvie-chan's name wrong in earlier chapter but I'm, again, am too lazy to change it right away. I hope Yugi was at least a bit more in character this chapter though. ^_^;

C.M. Aeris- Yeah, a lot of people keep telling me the back gold is oil and I already knew that when I wrote the story but the type of 'black gold' I was mentioning was one that actually was a mineral, like white gold. I was also slightly disappointed at the name they gave Yami, Atemu is slightly Egyptian but they should have named it something more toward the Khemetian culture.

Crazy bout Ryou- Hmm… I don't think any of the other hikaris will be in it. I might have them show up near the end of the sequel but… they won't play a major part. I find it hard for me to write and focus on more than one or two characters.

Shadows_Of_The_Past- I completely forgot about my MM.org account for the longest time since it was always down for me. I usually tend up update on FF.net faster since I'm there more often. You no like lemons? Evil! >< ^_^ I always put warnings around them and at the beginning of every chapter so if you don't' enjoy them, you can just skip until the next warning, kk?

SilverKitsune!!! (aka Toki Mirage)- I wasn't sure if it was Mahaddo or Mahaada so I chose one and figured I'd fix it later when I reviewer told me. ^_^ Still too lazy and busy.

Finished April 17, 2004 with 4,632 words with Author's Note and Review Responses.
