Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Broken Darkness ❯ Chapter 5 ( Chapter 4 )

Disclaimer: I don’t own Yu-Gi-Oh   A/N: I’m crazy and cruel…There have been too many poorly written smut stories with lack of plot and proper grammar.  I’m just here writing a decent one, can’t you tell?   Oh, and about the millennium thing, I won’t change it…too lazy to!  I understand, I’m more of a fan of the manga than the dub…     Broken Darkness   Yugi        I did my homework while Yami was collapsed on the bed, Gramps brought up some juice and sandwiches for lunch and then went back to mind the store.  I finished my homework and packed it all away so I’d be ready to head off to school the next day.  Yami occasionally murmured my name in his sleep but I think he might have been dreaming.  I asked Gramps about it and he said I probably shouldn’t have told Yami everything in such a short amount of time summed up the way I did.  Yami still looked peaceful lying there…I guess to me this proved he was really human…he could get sick and he could have bad things happen to him…  Not that I wished it to happen to him but he now seemed…more like me…I guess I always thought of him as a little non-human because he always seemed so calm and in control.  Of course, that was because he was a spirit but then we were searching for his lost memories…so now…he had complete amnesia and he didn’t seem as calm or in control…he just…I don’t know anymore.      “Yugi…” he murmured again and I looked over at him.      “Should I call my friends and have them over…or would it tax him too much, like his flashback seemed to and my telling him everything?” I asked myself, shutting my math book and standing up from my desk, walking over to him and sitting down on the bed next to his sleeping form.  He had hid something from me when he talked about the memory flashback he had received.  He hadn’t told me everything, so what was he hiding?  What was he too embarrassed to tell?  We had always shared things in the past… but then again we shared a body and he couldn’t exactly hide anything from me as time wore on.  So what was it?  And why did I feel different now…now that he was back?  I didn’t feel like this before he left, and I have no reason to have this flood of new emotions coming over me, breaking like a wave.   I couldn’t be in love or anything…I still liked girls, right?       “Yugi…” he breathed as he slept on.  This must be really hard for him to deal with… so maybe he’s more confused with the memories and doesn’t understand them and that’s why he hides them from me…because he’s confused.  I can help him understand if he’d tell me!  I place my hand on his head and twirl one of his locks slowly around my finger.  He was different this time…I don’t know.      “Yami, I can help, you just have to let me,” I whispered, yawning.  Being around a tired sleeping figure must be making me tired.  Maybe a nap wouldn’t hurt…just a small one…I wasn’t going to leave his side though, no matter what he thinks.  I won’t abandon him if that’s what he thinks I did last time…nope, I won’t leave.       “Yugi,” he whispered and I watched his eyes open slowly and I quickly released his hair.  He stared at me blankly.      “Are you alright?” I asked and he nodded, “Um…I think I have to apologize…”      “What for Yugi, what apology?” he asked and I blushed, burying my hands between my legs.      “I think I may have said a little too much... telling you all that…about the past.  It might have been a little more than you could bear and with that flashback you had it might have overwhelmed you…I’m sorry,” I said, “I didn’t mean to…”      “Yugi…” he murmured, “Its okay…it’s not like you can take it back…”      “I should never have done it in the first place!” I exclaimed and watched as he sat himself up, “Yami…”
     “Yugi, I’m glad you told me,” he began, “As hasty as it was…it will make the flashbacks somewhat easier to understand…”      “Did you remember more?” I asked slowly and he smiled a small smile.  It was rare… even when he was in the puzzle he rarely smiled and now…      “Not really,” he said, “I guess I’ll have to wait for those…what did you call them?”      “Flashbacks?” I asked and he nodded, “Yeah…flashbacks are kinda what happens when you look back on something I think, whether unconsciously or consciously…”      “Looking back on the past?” he asked.      “Yep,” I said, “Are you still tired?  I mean…we really don’t have to do anything if you don’t want.  I don’t want to make any more mistakes so I won’t introduce you to the others until you’re ready…”      “Ready?” he asked a puzzled expression on his face.      “When you think you’re strong enough, when it won’t tire you out to have so many people around…” I said, trying to explain, “Being with them might cause flashbacks…”      “Yugi…do you know a Kaiba?” he asked.      “Yeah, so you do remember another name!” I said happily.      “Yes, I do…I mean, who is he, who is this Kaiba?” he asked.      “He’s your rival,” I said quickly and then noticed his puzzled expression, “Well my rival too in a lot of ways…  A rival is an opponent…um…someone you fight with a lot… you compete against one another to be the best…”
     “Am I better than him?” Yami asked and I blinked twice.  Yami had managed to prop himself up against the headboard and was resting his arm on his knee and his head in his hand.      “Yeah, sorta,” I replied, “Nothing really got resolved…he still thinks he’s our better…”      “Yugi…you just said ‘our better’,” Yami said, “What did you mean by that?”      “Well, when we were sharing a body…maybe I should be telling you this!” I said with a slight laugh.      “No…please, go on,” he urged and I sighed.      “We always fought Kaiba together,” I replied, “As a team…”      “A team…” he said.      “Yup, that’s when people work together to achieve something…” I explained and he nodded and then looked a little dizzy, “See…I shouldn’t have said anything I’m such an idiot!”      “Yugi you’re not!” he said and before I could argue he pulled me into his arms and I stayed there, frozen in place, “Yugi…you’ve done nothing but helped me in the time I’ve been here…you’ve been so patient with me…and I know what patience is…”      “Yami,” I murmured slowly.  Why was the heat I feeling so different than anything I’ve felt before?  I’ve had other people hold me…but this time it felt different…warm… and loving…  I tensed up slightly and laughed nervously.      “Thank you Yugi,” he repeated.      “Do you even know what ‘thank you’ means?” I asked quietly, trying to loosen the mood slightly so I could relax.  He released me from his embrace and leaned back against the headboard for some support.      “I don’t know exactly…but I remember someone saying it a lot…like it’s meant for someone after they did something for you…” Yami said.      “That’s kinda it,” I said with a sigh, “Are you feeling tired?”      “A little…I don’t know why,” he said, “I really…really wish I knew more…”      “And you probably wish you weren’t sick,” I said, wishing at that moment he’d just return to the way he used to be, not sick and he knew…he remembered everything.      “That as well,” he said and shifted to lie back down on the bed and it looked like his eyelids were getting heavy, “I’m tired…”      “Then rest Yami, its okay,” I said, “I don’t mind if you do, we don’t need to do anything and we can always get dressed later…  Besides, it’s a Sunday and we don’t have much to do on Sundays…”      “Uh-hu,” he said slowly.      “But tomorrow we’ll need to find you some fitting clothes,” I said hastily, “I mean, it’s not important but you can’t just wear PJs and your other outfit all the time…”      “Why not?” he asked.      “It’s kinda a rule to change your clothes daily…at least having a fresh shirt and such,” I said with a slight blush and I heard a light snoring beside me.  Yami had already fallen asleep.  I sighed, I had done it again, taxed him past his point, he wasn’t strong enough and he didn’t remember enough yet…  Tomorrow maybe he’ll be strong enough… I’ll have to face my friend no matter what tomorrow and they’ll ask…  I just don’t know how I’m going to respond…      “Night Yami,” I whispered and leaned forward and kissed his forehead.              &nb sp;   TBC   A/N: So…good?  Was it bad?  I don’t want to do much Yaoi yet for reasons unknown to all my reviewers but I swear you’ll like it when I get to it, alright?  Just bear with me!  I promise it’ll be good!
