Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Common Grounds ❯ Love Lost ( Chapter 17 )
[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Mistress: Hola! Thank you for your reviews, the next chapter will come much faster I assure you. This chapter has been added for angst and because it fits well. I'll to write more Yugi/Yami although other than that one-shot I don't usually dabble in that are. For all you Yami/Yugi fans I have the sequel to “Ultimate Valentine” in the process of writing, while Bakura and Ryou will be mentioned it is 98% about Yugi/Yami.
Chapter 16: Love Lost
You come and sit next to me and smile noticing that I am already better but they want to keep me in bed, just in case. I open the book and tell you that this chapter is more about Yumi than it is about our favorite boys..
A week has passed since Yugi had come over and played duel monsters with Yami and Mrs. Moto, as she had promised, had now finished making the attic suitable for living. Yumi had her own computer in there as well.

KingOfEgypt: Hey!
ForlornHope: Yumi!
SmexyShrimp: You're here!
BitchOnCrack: ( laugh ) hey guys! Did ya miss me?
KingOfEgypt: No we hate you
BitchOnCrack: ( sniff ) I feel so loved.
ForlornHope: Anyway guess what!
SmexyShrimp: We already know, he just finished telling us.
BitchOnCrack: What?
ForlornHope: Bakura was nice to me today!?
BitchOnCrack: ( dies of shock )
SmexyShrimp: It's true! I saw!
KingOfEgypt: All of them have been a bit kinder these days…. I'm suspicious…
BitchOnCrack: Aww come on, where's the benefit of the doubt thing. Spread the love!
ForlornHope: Ha ha, but Malik's right it is a little suspicious.
BitchOnCrack: How do you know they're not changing?
SmexuShrimp:…. A possibility…
KingOfEgypt: You stand up for them a lot you know… I'm starting to suspect you're behind this…
“Yumi you have mail!”
BitchOnCrack: Sorry guys I gotta go, I have MAIL!
KingOfEgypt: Oh no you don't!
BitchOnCrack has signed off.
Yumi let out a breath of relief as she closed down the computer. She walked down the stairs and met her parents in the kitchen.
“Mail!? For me?” she asked.
Mrs. Moto nodded and handed her a large package. Yumi flipped it over and read whom it was from. Nialy Vakwitch was written in fancy letters on the return address. Yumi grinned and ran up the stairs to open her letter in peace. She sat down and began reading.
Dear Whatsyourface,
I kid, Hey Yumi! Sorry for not writing sooner (I've been busy) but here I am, writing. Anyway I hope you're enjoying Japan! Oh and mom's still working on those adoption papers so if we're lucky you and I will be step sisters soon… that is if you still want to be. Anyway I included the legal papers and I also put the teen speak version of it on there.
Now to more pressing matters… uhm I don't know how to say this, but, well since you left and all and we were all so sure that you weren't coming back because of the legal stuff ( which we have discovered were invalid in the first place, why? Because it is up to you to choose who to live with because of your age ) Seth… well he is dating someone else and well I thought you should know. You two never did break up. In fact if I remember correctly when you left you were in full lip lock. I've included a picture, ugly isn't she, and well I don't know the details but yeah.
I miss you so much, it's no fun here without you! Oh and say hi to all the hot guys there in Japan!
With much love,
Nialy.
Yumi re-read the letter four times before putting it down. She couldn't pretend she wasn't disappointed that Seth hadn't waited for her to come back… even if it was just for a few weeks, but somewhere inside she knew this would happen. People move on. Yumi sighed and looked at the picture that was included.
`Of course…. A blond… He always did have a weakness for blonde's,' Yumi thought miserably.
Yumi fell back onto her bed and stared up at the ceiling. Things had been going pretty good here and she wasn't sure if she wanted to leave. Especially with the Seth thing… Yumi rolled over with a groan and picked up the letter again. She knew she wouldn't have minded as much if Seth had written her first or e-mailed or something.
“Yumi! Dinner!”
Yumi rolled over to find her brother looking at her from the “door”.
“Be right there,” she replied and watched him vanish.
`If I know legal matters it'll take at least a few more months for them to even get a good solid ground for this case. I have to hurry if I plan on completing my mission…'
I close the book and you frown. I know, Seth was a jerk wasn't he? If you remember Nialy was Yumi's best friend, and Seth a friend and boy-friend. You get up as your cell phone rings and groan as you hear your mother telling you to pick up food on your way home. I smile and wave as you leave.
AUTHORS BLAH BLAH
Mistress: Like I said this is a filler chapter, it's also meant to keep the plot going. I suspect because of the shortness of this chapter that the next update will come sooner. The longer the chapter the longer the wait, unless I've had a reeeaaallly good day.
