Crying, An Art Less Taught

"... And she'll be here any minute now." Yuugi's violet eyes flashed up for an approval. He already knew that his aibou would allow this because Yuugi always told him at the last minute.

Yami no Yuugi's crimson eyes flashed up harshly. His eyes had drifted off to the floor for the last five minutes and he now knew it like the back of his hand. "So... let me get this straight. The women you love-"

"Anzu!" Yuugi looked up to his Yami swiftly in order to correct him.

"ANZU will be here any second now to help you with your homework. And you didn't tell me this because..." Yami's eyebrows went up swiftly.

"I'm sorry... demo... you don't tell me everything, right?" Yuugi put on a little smile. But before Yami could answer, a happy sound came from down the stairs. Yami gritted his teeth... it was HER.

"I'm going to Jounouchi's house to duel him." He grabbed the duel monsters deck from a top Yuugi's desk and turned the handle on the door. But, before he could leave, his cruel eyes met big blue ones.

Anzu smiled gently. "Where are you going, Yuugi?"

Yami growled in response. Anzu wasn't that bad... except when she was with Yuugi. "I'm not Yuugi..."

Yuugi smiled and looked up to his other half. "Won't you stay and help us, Yami?" Big eyelids covered and uncovered violet eyes.

Yami just pushed his way out the door. Anzu turned around to just see Yami run down the stairs before turning back to Yuugi. "Gee... what's his problem? He's never had a problem being called 'Yuugi' before..."

Yuugi closed his eyes and tilted his head back, letting the tears slide back into his eyes. "It's not you. It's the point that I didn't tell him that you were coming." Yuugi's voice cracked on the final word and Anzu blinked twice.

Anzu looked at Yuugi. "Gomen Nasai..."

Yuugi kept his head tilted back with his eyes closed. He sniffled and smiled as he put his head back into condition. "No... don't be..." His voice cracked again.

Anzu looked at Yuugi and closed her eyes. 'You love Yami, don't you?'. The thought would linger through her mind the rest of the night.

:Yami no Yuugi's POV:

I like games. I like winning. I like having fun. I like friends. But over all? I like Yuugi. No... 'like' is an understatement- I love him. I love him like there is no tomorrow. I love to watch him when he laughs... when he sleeps... when he plays. I love to taste him. Hai, hai... he tastes wonderful. Does he know I do this? Never... he is much too naive to grasp any of this. But his innocence makes me love him even more. But then... there are days like today.

Anzu, Honda, Jounouchi... all of them... they are my friends, but... but I can never trust them with the other me. The other me is only mine. I have claimed him and he is mine. But will they ever understand this? I don't expect them to. But, then again, have I ever really wanted them to understand my feelings?

Anzu... now Anzu likes me. I can feel this coming from her full force. That day that Yuugi stuck me with her... I could tell she liked me. I believe that this has changed since that day. That day I let me out upon her... and I truly think this scared her. I think that I freaked her out and I'm proud to say that I don't think she wants to come back to me. But I think- no, I know- she now has her eyes upon my prize... She will pay for this. She is not a bad person, but she seeks what I seek. Above all, mina-san thinks I seek my memory. But above all, I truly seek him.

Honda? Honda is completely clueless- a lost cause. He has a blank mind when it comes to love and all related factors. Personally? I would say he likes Jou-kun. He would never seek Yuugi... anyone fairly smart shouldn't seek what is mine.

Jounouchi... he can really tap in to what Yuugi and I are normally thinking. he knows us from the inside out. I truly think that he would know if Yuugi... loved me, too. Truthfully? That is why I'm going there. I could care less about the game right now... I love this game but not as much as I love Yuugi... Watashi no game...

:Yuugi's POV:

He hates me now. I can feel it through the mental link. I can feel his throbbing hatred. And as I look around... I am all alone. After all, Anzu did leave because I was 'removed from society' and she 'needed some time to think'. Gomen Nasai, but who does she think she is? I've needed time to think my whole life... I hate sounding like this. I don't feel like me... but, if truth must be told... I love the other me.

He has always been there for me... his warm smile... the way he makes sure no harm be falls me. And I love that... and I love him. I just wish he would stop searching for his memory.

I know that it is selfish of me to do this... to wish upon him to never remember... not even his name, but... but I love him more than he will ever love him memories. How great could his memories be? They are just a wad of stuff that makes up human existence... I feel selfish... I know I shouldn't wish this upon him. He has every right to remember and every right to see. But why can't he just always be with me?

I saved him once... I saved us once. I wouldn't let go of the puzzle. Jou- kun told me afterward that I shouldn't be so devoted to someone whom doesn't love me back. I recall telling him I would stop... but I have yet to do so. Because my Yami is like an addiction. He is pure sunlight over a desert sand. He is my love and I belong to him... I believe.

I don't think he knows that I've gotten over Anzu since him. I don't think he understands that I don't feel that way for her. Truthfully? I know she is trying to stab me in the back to get at Yami. She's trying and I pray that she fails. I don't normally wish badly upon others, but today I guess I can make an exception.

I wish he could be with me now...

:3rd, all knowing, by Yami no Yuugi:

"So..." Yami let out a sigh as he extended his arm to rap on the door. A sharp cry caused him to pull his arm away from the door and turn around swiftly. He had been waiting for Jounouchi for nearly 3 hours now and Domino's curfew had already passed. Anzu's eyes fell upon Yami.

"Yami! Yami... Yami no Yuugi... go home to your aibou now!" Anzu's face had a tired look upon it and her eyes were saddened.

Yami let out an articulated sigh. "Naze?"

Anzu was now standing right across from Yami and she gritted her teeth as she grabbed his collar. "If I can't have Yuugi, than you must have him!"

"A-Anzu?"

Anzu swallowed and looked up to Yami. "I left because he was crying... he was crying because you were upset. He doesn't want you to hate him... he doesn't want you to be mad at him... he wants you to love him!"

Yami opened his mouth in response and tried to push words out. No words came. What seemed like an infinity later, Yami finally said, "...Wha-What did you say?"

Anzu closed her eyes softly and then looked up. "He loves you, Yami no Yuugi. And if you don't leave this door step, I'll tell him myself that you hate him. I'll do it. Leave your damn game behind!"

"I... I..." Yami looked off swiftly and lifted a leg that was once seemingly plastered to the Katsuya's doorstep. He lifted his other leg and began this cycle faster and faster. He began to run and tears of joy and sadness fell swiftly from his eyes. He looked up upon reaching his street.

Behind him, there sat a girl on a doorstep. The girl was near forgotten now. She licked her lips bitterly. After a long time, she finally looked up. "You... you weren't supposed to go to Yuugi..."

:3rd, All Knowing, Game Shop:

Yuugi threw his clothes in a corner and slid star pajamas on. He looked at himself in the mirror with a small smile. He closed his eyes and began to speak to himself. He began in a husky voice. "Aibou, you look so kawaii tonight!" Yuugi giggled and then switched his own voice. "Why, mou hitori no boku! I never realized that you..." He giggled and switched to the husky voice. "Truth is, Yuugi... I've loved you forever." This time, there was no giggle between dialects. "Me too... Me too... Aishiteru..." Yuugi wrapped his arms around himself and switched into his husky voice. "Be with me... forever..." Tears slid freely down Yuugi's face. "Always will I love you..." He continued in the husky voice.

A door creaked open behind him. Yuugi turned to see his Grandpa. "Go to bed, Yuugi... it's awfully late. And wipe those tears from your eyes! Tomorrow is a better day, ne?"

Yuugi wiped his tears away. "Tomorrow is what I'll always look forward to Ojii-san!"

Grandpa smiled. "Good! Oyasumi nasai!!"

Yuugi sat down on his bed. "Oyasumi..."

A dark spirit watched from the shadows. He smiled as he heard the young boy began to breathe in a heavy and slow way. Yami looked upon his aibou and shook him. He heard his hikari speak gentle words. "You're late."

"Gomen..."

"Don't be late."

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to..."

"I stayed up for you..."

"I know..."

"Oyasumi..."

"Aibou?"

"Nan?"

" ... nothing..."

"You sure?"

"Hai..."

"Oyasumi..."

Yami looked off to one side and whispered gently; "Aishiteru..."

Yuugi let out a short giggle. "Don't joke with me..."

Yami swallowed hard. "But I do..."

Yuugi frowned. "You're tired... please go to sleep."

"But..."

No response came. Yami clenched his fists as tears came down. 'Never in my life have you been this way...' he thought to himself. 'How dare she lie to me...'
