Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Broken Darkness ❯ Chapter 12 ( Chapter 11 )

Disclaimer: I don’t own Yu-Gi-Oh…wish I did but I don’t…   A/N: Lots of love to my reviewers, I promise this chapter will be nice and long!  I’m gonna post the link to the smut scene when I can.  My internet is screwed up right now but I hope it’ll get fixed soon…and now for the long awaited chapter!   Broken Darkness   Chapter 12   Yugi        I paid for us to get into the amusement park and dragged Yami in with me.  I planned on taking him on everything, but I would let him pick first.      “So Yami, what do you want to go on?” I asked as we headed in and noted the distracted look on his face, something was really bothering him, “What’s wrong Yami?”      “…” he looked down at me and I smiled at him.      “You look really distracted,” I said, “Is something the matter?”
     “It’s nothing Aibou, I apologize, I just had an interesting dream last night,” he said.      “Oh really, me to!” I exclaimed, “It was really strange but it made me feel…so…so… alive.”      His eyes widened as he looked down at me, “What was it about?”      “Oh well…” I said sheepishly, “I don’t exactly want to go over the details…they’re a little ahem…interesting.  You were there though!”   Yami        I stared in disbelief as my Aibou.  Did he have the same dream I had had?  If so, did that mean our connection was back?  I still could not hear his voice in my head and I was sure he could not hear mine, so perhaps it was coming back slowly.  But if he had shared the same dream I had, that means…he knows my fantasy…but if it was a dream, maybe he thought little of it.  Or maybe…it was his fantasy…if it was, that means he likes me, just a little, right?  Or is it just lust?  It couldn’t be lust…not for him.  I knew…I remembered how innocent he was, he still is.      “Anyways, let’s get going,” Yugi said, “I don’t think we should focus on dreams when reality is so much more fun, well, at least today it should be.  So Yami, what do you want to go on first?”      “Me?” I asked, pointing at myself, “You’re asking me?”      “Of course, it’s your choice.  I’ve been on most of these so I know which ones are good for me but I want you to find out what’s fun for you!” Yugi said as he smiled broadly.      “All right then, let’s go on that one!” I said, pointing to something very tall, “I don’t recall what it’s called…”      “A rollercoaster?” Yugi asked, “You sure about that?”      “Why not?  Do you want me to pick something else?” I asked.      “No, it’s perfectly fine, I just thought you might not want to ride on the big rides but hey, you picked it so let’s go on it!” Yugi said and grabbed my hand, dragging me towards the ride, “I think I’m tall enough…sometimes I regret being short…”      I smiled at that comment, I heard him say it under his breath but I still heard it.  He was just slightly shorter than I was but I bet he would be tall enough to ride with me… why wouldn’t he be?  My question was answered when we arrived at the entrance to the rollercoaster and Yugi checked his height at a board labeled, ‘you must be this tall to ride’ and he smiled when he saw himself above the line which stayed how tall he had to be.      “Are you still sure you wanna go on this?” Yugi asked, “It’s nauseating but it should be fun, although there might be a little of a wait, but that’s how it should be for most of the rides…”      “Um…okay then,” I said.  I wouldn’t mind waiting, it would be time spent with Yugi, not wasted at all…not wasted at all…   …        “That was the funniest thing I’d been on!” I said as we walked off towards where the pictures were.  Yugi said he wanted to see how we looked when the pictures were taken on the rollercoaster.  I didn’t exactly know how a picture could be taken on a rollercoaster but I guess I was about to find out.      “It sure was.  Hey, look there we are!” Yugi said, pointing to where their faces were displayed proudly on a screen, “You look so funny!”      “We both do,” I said, “Our hair is going every which way…”      “I’m going to get a picture,” Yugi said and walked up to the lady running the booth.      “May I help you?” she asked sweetly.      “Yeah, we’re number 301 on the screen there and I’d like a small picture please, a keychain,” Yugi said and pulled out some money to pay for a small keychain.  I remembered what a keychain was, a small ring that you could attach stuff to.  I think he was attaching a picture then to the keychain, right?  I leaned against a railing as I watched other rollercoaster cars whiz by and listened to the people screaming as they went.  It really had been a fun ride, I wouldn’t mind doing it again if we could later on but I was sure Yugi would want to hit more rides than just this one.      “There you are, have a nice day!” the woman said and Yugi approached me with a smile, holding up a keychain.      “What’s that for?” I asked, “That’s our picture?”  Yugi nodded and began attaching it to my belt buckle.      “Here,” he said as he hung it on a belt loop, “This is for you!”      “Why?” I asked, “What is this for?”
     “What’s it for?  Yami, it’s a gift for you!” Yugi said laughing, “This is your first time on a rollercoaster, right?  This should be a memorable moment and I just captured it for you!”  I returned his laugh with a warm smile as I looked at the keychain, now firmly attached to my belt.      “I like it,” I said, “Thank you very much Aibou…this gift means a lot to me.”      “Sure thing Yami, so…where do you think we should go next?” he asked, a gleam in his eyes, “Remember, it’s your choice!”      “Um…let’s see…” I glanced around at the various rides now before us and then I pointed to one, “That one.”  It was moving very fast in loops, a two seat ride.  The rollercoaster had room for four in a row and this one only had two, meaning Yugi and I would be on it together.  That made me warm inside, but I couldn’t tell him, although I noticed a slight blush on his face also which he shook off as soon as he noticed me looking at him.  Was this how the entire day was going to be?  Blushing just because a ride only had room for two in a seat?      “Yami that one looks good too, come on!” Yugi said shaking off his earlier blush as he did so, his cheeks returning to a normal color and he ran towards the ride.  I followed after and they got in line.      “Does a ride like this make you dizzy?” I asked as we waited.      “Just a little, it goes around in circles a few times and gains in speed, watch!” Yugi said and I did so, watching the riders spin increasingly faster in their seats.  It made me slightly nauseous to watch but he was determined to do this, he wanted to experience everything.  I moved up in line with Yugi towards the entry gate onto the ride and as soon as it was their turn I followed Yugi towards the car that would hold us and I helped him lower the clamp that would hold in from falling out as the ride would speed up.   Yugi and I exchanged a nervous grin and the ride started.  It started slowly at first and I found it enjoyable, until the cars began to shift and twist and spin.  I found myself being pushed into Yugi as the cars swerved one way and when they changed direction Yugi was pushed into me.  We were blushing furiously as the ride continued to speed up.  I let out a scream of delight as the wind swept past his face, blowing my hair in every direction and Yugi followed.  It seemed everyone was enjoying the ride.      I was disappointed when it began to slow and come to a stop, the bar across their laps lifting and the two exited the ride.  I tried to calm my hair down and Yugi was following suit.  Both of us went into the nearby bathroom to look in the mirror.      “We better get used to it though,” Yugi said, “A lot of rides are fast like that.”
     “Why didn’t the rollercoaster mess up our hair like this one did?” I asked.      “This one was all over the place; the rollercoaster wasn’t so it wasn’t as bad,” Yugi said, “So where do you want to go next?”      “I get to choose again?” I asked, “Aibou, why don’t you choose next?”      “I really don’t know, I mean I kinda like them all!” Yugi exclaimed.      “Then we’ll go on all of them, all right?  Just choose one this time,” I said.      “Okay then,” he replied, his voice a little nervous, “Well…what would you like…”      “Don’t choose what you think I would like, choose what you would like,” I said, “I mean it, we both should have fun.”      “If you’re sure,” Yugi said, “Then let’s go on this one!”  Yugi grabbed my hand and dragged me to a ride that looked like it used water with it.      “What’s this?” I asked.      “It’s a water ride Yami,” Yugi said, “So that means we’re going to get wet…”      “Oh,” I said, “Is that fun?”      “Yeah, it is, it’s a little warm out so it’ll be nice to cool down.  We’ll dry off as the day goes on,” Yugi exclaimed.      “I trust you on this one,” I said, “So…how many go on this ride?”
     “We sit in a line, the ride can seat up to three or four, I think but two should fit in just fine, so we won’t have anyone else,” Yugi said.  I don’t think he realized what he was saying because if he did he’d be blushing, I think.  I was…if he would be sitting in my lap…and that dream surfaced to my mind at any point on this ride…great.  I didn’t want to think about this right now!  I shook it off as the line moved forward and our turn drew nearer.      “So are you going to be up front or will I?” I asked.      “I’m going to be sitting up front on the ride because I’m slightly shorter than you are so I should sit in the front,” he said, “Besides, I wanna get wet.”      “Okay then,” I said.      “You look kinda nervous,” Yugi said, “Something wrong?  Is that dream you had really bothering you?  I’ve kinda just let my dream slide for now; I don’t want it to ruin my day here.”      “Did you not like the dream then?” I asked, slightly hurt.  If he had had the same dream I had then if he didn’t like it I was at a loss.      “No, I never meant it like that,” Yugi said, “I meant I just wanted to have fun today, spending time with you.  I can spend time interpreting my dream later and so can you, so come on, let’s go on more rides and eat cotton candy until we get sick!”  I smiled and laughed a little, it wasn’t that bad at all.  I could focus on dreams later, I didn’t need to now, although some of these rides made it hard not to but oh well.   …        The water ride had been lots of fun and Yugi and I got off laughing and shaking excess water from our clothes and hair as we did so.  My hair hung in clumps around my face and I peered through them at Yugi who was ringing out his hair.  I watched him and smiled, it had to be love, these feelings just wouldn’t go away, but why couldn’t I bring myself to tell him?      “Hey Yami, I got a ride idea that could dry us off quite nicely,” Yugi said, a gleam in his eye, snapping me out of thought.      “Oh really?  Does it go fast?” I asked, returning the mischievous gleam in his eye with my own.      “Extremely,” Yugi agreed and started off, “Come one!”      “All right Yugi, I’m coming!” I exclaimed and followed after.   …        “That was amazing!” I said after we had hit our tenth ride.  We had gotten some lunch and were sitting in the shade of a tree on a bench eating it, recovering our breath and a little of our energy.      “I know, wasn’t it fun?” Yugi agreed as we ate.      “This place is a lot of fun,” I said, “So…you said we could hit some shows after we ate to let our stomachs calm down.  But what are these shows?”      “Various things, they change from year to year but eventually come back after some time,” Yugi said, “They’re fun to watch.”      “It sounds like a lot of fun,” I agreed, “So what choices do we have?”      “I think there are a few action shows and a magic show,” Yugi said, “But we’d have to check the times for them all so we can plan accordingly.”      “A magic show sounds fun,” I said.      “I like them as well but I’ve seen real magic so it’s kinda lost its touch,” Yugi said, “Your shadow magics I mean, I’ve seen them, experienced them…I’m actually kind of glad they are gone though…”      “Why’s that?” I asked, “I don’t exactly remember that part yet.”      “They were very dangerous,” Yugi said, “Don’t you remember anything like that?”      “I think so, but only a little,” I replied, “Did you fear the shadow magic?”      “In some ways I did,” Yugi said, ‘it took you away from me.’      “What did you just say?” I asked.      “What do you mean?” he asked.      “You just said, ‘it took you away from me’,” I said.      “I didn’t say anything like that.”      “I just heard you!”      “But I wasn’t talking!”      “Yugi, I clearly heard you say, ‘it took you away from me!’” I exclaimed and we both gasped.      “Our connection!” we said in unison.      “It came back,” I said, “I didn’t think…”      “I didn’t know if it would or not.  We had it when we had the millennium puzzle connecting us but I didn’t think we would get it back,” Yugi said.  I realized I’d need to be careful what I thought now, if our connection was really back then Yugi would know my thoughts when I let my guard down and that would be really embarrassing.  I think he realized it was the same for him.      “So what does that mean?” I asked.      “It means we don’t have to talk to communicate, I think,” Yugi said, “That and we can hear each other think.”      “Is that a good thing?” I asked.      “I don’t know…” he said, “It used to be.”      “Why isn’t it now?” I asked, trying to mask my concern.      “It isn’t I mean…” he said, “No, there’s nothing wrong with it, and it’s good to be connected to you again.  I mean, it’s good to have this connection again…”      “It is,” I agreed, “Does this mean everything is back to normal?”      “Normal Yami?” Yugi asked with a slight giggle, “This past week hasn’t been normal, I mean nothing has been normal since you came back.”
     “I’m sorry,” I said quickly.      “No, I don’t mean it like that!” Yugi said.      “What do you mean?”      “I mean, I just never expected you to come back from the dead, and now that you’re here, I guess it’s just I have to get used to you having your own body.”      “Oh.”      “I’m sorry, now you probably think I’m crazy.”      “Why would I think that?  I’m a little crazy myself, I think…”      “Well, with our connection back we can be crazier together,” Yugi said, “Come on, let’s hit some of the shows now, what do you say?”      “Sounds like fun, and don’t think too much,” I said.      “Why’s that?”      “Because you’ll give me a headache, I think it’s happened before,” I said.      “Oh, right,” he said and started to laugh, “I think you did that to me too.”      “So let’s just try not to give each other a headache then,” I said returning his laugh with my own, “Now let’s hit some of these shows you’re talking about.”      “Sounds like a plan,” he agreed and we made our way to the first of the many shows we were going to be watching.  It would be fun, I knew I’d like it a lot.   Yugi        So we could hear each other now…I’d have to be careful with what I thought about now.  He heard me thinking about how he had been taken away from me.  If he dwelled on it and realized it might mean I like him would he confront me on it?  If he did would I have the courage to tell him how I felt or would I deny anything and possibly hurt his feelings if he liked me back?  I didn’t know!      I ignored my thoughts as we entered the first of a few shows that we would be watching, I couldn’t focus on this now, and I just wanted us to have fun.  Today was a day for us to be together and to have fun; I wouldn’t let anything spoil it.   …        We stayed watching shows for the rest of the day, Yami couldn’t get enough of them, he said they were exciting and ‘cool’.  I didn’t mind of course, I liked them a lot too.  Yami did appear to be getting tired out and the sun had begun to go down by the end of our sixth show and the park would be closing soon so I suggested we go home and maybe watch a movie to end our day.  Yami had said it would be perfect, so we left and headed for home, Yami’s hand holding mine as I led us home.  I don’t think we’d get to watch a movie but I thought I’d suggest it anyways, I don’t know why.  I didn’t want him fainting on me again, falling asleep and forcing me to carry him home would be rather hard to do.   …        “That was a really fun day,” Yami said as we sat on the couch, “I’m glad I was able to go with you and enjoy it Yugi.”      “It was a good day, wasn’t it?” I asked with a smile, the movie long forgotten.  Yami smiled back at me and yawned.      “Oh, sorry.”      “It’s all right, we had a big day, and it’s perfectly fine having you tired.”
     “I know, we had a lot of fun,” he said.      “You like saying that now, don’t you?” I asked, “So…how soon do you think it’ll be before you get all your memories back?  You seem like you’re almost back to normal now.”      “Almost, a few pieces are still missing but I think I’m almost there,” he said, “I mean, it’s been two weeks now and your grandpa told me it usually took a lot longer so he was impressed.”      “So am I,” I said and watched his expression carefully.  He continued to smile and hit another yawn.  His eyes began to flutter shut, a tired expression apparent upon his face.      “Sorry, I’m just really tired,” he said and leaned against me on my shoulder, his eyes closing slowly, “Thank you Yugi.”      “No problem, having fun is something friends need to enjoy once in a while,” I replied with a smile, not really meaning anything by it.      “So we’re just friends?” he asked, a hurt tone slightly in his voice.      “Best friends, like brothers, why…” I began.      “No, it’s nothing,” he said quickly, “I didn’t mean anything by it.”       I couldn’t believe what I had heard…did he want to be more than friends?  Did he have feelings for me after all?  Should I just tell him then?  I looked over at him but he was falling asleep again on my shoulder, totally ignorant to me.      “Yami,” I murmured and he moaned.  I shifted him so he slept in my lap because my shoulder started to hurt with his head against it.  I touched his hair and stroked it slightly, reveling in how soft it was, still a little damp from the ride earlier in the day.  He didn’t respond to me and I heard a soft snoring escaping from his lips.      “Yami,” I murmured again to make sure he was asleep.  He didn’t respond to my touch nor did he awaken when I called his name, he was already deeply asleep.  I was still amazed at how quickly he fell asleep; I don’t think he normally did in the past when he still had a spirit form.  I remembered catching him often awake and thinking, I think he found it hard to sleep back then and maybe he was just catching up on it now.  He was so adorable when he slept…wait, I just thought that…did he hear me?  Wait; if he did he’d just think it was a dream.      “Yami, I have something to tell you,” I said, feeling safe enough to tell him now.  If he heard it, he would think it was a dream so I was safe if he rejected me.      “I think I’m in love with you,” I whispered and clasped a hand over my mouth as soon as I had finished saying it.  I couldn’t deny it, I loved him, I really did, but I couldn’t say it was certain to him, could only say I thought I was, that way I could just say I was thinking it and it wasn’t really real.  I didn’t want…I guess in some part of my mind I was still denying it.  I didn’t know what to do with my feelings; I didn’t want to be hurt!      I guess I’d have to figure it out as more time went on, I mean, I didn’t know what to do and I didn’t know how everyone would react.  I moved Yami away slowly and went to get changed for the night, bringing back a blanket and pillow so Yami could sleep comfortably on the couch.  I tucked him in and found myself kissing his cheek goodnight again.  This time I didn’t mind as much I guess but I still was blushing furiously when I finished.  I went back to my room and threw myself down on my bed, burying my face in my pillow as I pulled the covers up around me.  What was I going to do?  Why couldn’t I understand these feelings?  I wanted to understand them, I wanted to tell him.  I just didn’t want to be hurt by him either, because that would be the worst.  To have him come back to me only to be hurt when I told him I loved him and then he would reject me horribly.  I didn’t want that!      “What am I going to do?” I asked myself, “I love Yami…but should I really tell him now?”   Yami   (DREAM)

     Water…water surrounded me everywhere, I was in it but I could breath, the tiny bubbles rising all around me.  My feet touched something, it felt like glass, smooth and crystal underneath my bare feet.  What was going on?  What was this dream I was having?  Where was I?      “One month…”      “Who’s there?” I asked but no sound escaped as I asked, still surrounded by water, the bubbles escaping from my mouth that should have been words.      “One month…”       Who was talking to me?  It sounds like a woman’s voice but I’m not sure, who is it?  Why do I have this sense of loosing something now?  I feel like I’m going to loose something precious to me now…what is going on?      “One month…”       “What’s going to happen in one month?” I asked but nothing could be heard, nothing could be seen.  Only more air bubbles escaped my mouth as I talked.      “One month…”      What was going to happen?  Why did I feel afraid?  Why?  What was going to happen in a month…?   TBC   A/N: I’ve officially entered in the partially fantastical part of the plot, I wonder if anyone will get it.  I don’t think anyone will, I mean, well, someone might, have fun guessing.  I kept my promise, this is 4,000 words!  Was it worth the wait?  I plan on updating mostly everything on Sundays now, it would make it easier and I wouldn’t feel as rushed so that’s when I plan to update pretty much from now on, all right?  I hope you look forward to my updates and I’m sorry for the wait.  Kudos to all my reviewers I love you all lots!  Review this story but don’t flame!  I don’t like flames they will be used to roast marshmallows!
