Chapter 17: Yumi the Shrink

 

You come in once more and you look flushed, as if you've been running. I stare for a moment before deciding I shouldn't pry and smile at you instead offering you a seat. With a grateful sigh you seat yourself and we begin another chapter…

 

Yumi spent the next few days avoiding most people and when she did talk to someone she tried to cut it short. She was stills slightly hurt by her boyfriend cheating on her… and badmouthing her but she supposed it was only natural for that to happen. She sighed and packed for school. She walked down the stairs and was stopped by her parents.

 

“We've arranged for you to try and get your license within the next three days. Then you can drive to school by yourself and Yami won't have to,” Mr. Moto said.

 

Yumi smiled and nodded. She figured that would be good and seeing as Yami never drove her to school anyway this was an improvement. She began to walk out the door when Yami came up behind her.

 

“Where are you going?” he asked.

 

“To school,” Yumi replied cocking her eyebrow.

 

“That's the wrong way,” Yami said as he took his sister by the arm.

 

“Uhm… last time I checked that way was perfectly fine,” Yumi said as Yami dragged her into the garage.

 

“Yeah well the car is this way,” Yami said as he pulled out his car keys.

 

“Eh?”

Yami opened the door to the drivers seat and sat down.

 

“You coming or not?” he asked.

 

Yumi stared strangely for a moment before going around the car and entering from the passenger seat.

 

“Why are you driving me to school?” she asked as they began to drive to school.

 

“You seemed a bit down so I decided I better drive you to school to make sure you don't take a detour into the road,” Yami replied.

 

“You noti- I mean I'm not sad,” Yumi said defiantly.

 

“Yeah I noticed, and your friends noticed too,” Yami replied.

 

“How would you know if my friends have noticed or not?” Yumi asked curiously.

 

“…well…we happened to bump into each other,” Yami said shifting uncomfortably in his seat.

 

Yumi grinned for the first time in the three days and suddenly the world seemed like such a better place. Three days later the entire group had gathered for moral support. Yumi was going to take her drivers test. Yumi came to the front thirty minutes later looking defeated.

 

“Yumi?” Yugi asked carefully.

 

Yumi grinned at them and flashed her new driver's license, “I passed with flying colors!”

 

Yugi smirked and hugged Yumi tightly. Malik came and gave her a pat on the back.

 

“I knew you could do it,” he said with confidence.

 

“Yeah right he was the most nervous out of all of us,” Marik commented from the back.

 

The others laughed as Malik tried to land a punch on Marik. “Is it just me or does Marik have the unmatched ability to make people want to hit him?” Yumi said as their group began to move towards the door.

 

“It's his special talent,” Bakura said with a grin.

 

“We're going to go celebrate right? So where do you want to go?” Ryou asked as they piled into the truck that Yami had borrowed so that they could all fit. Although Ryou, Yugi, and Malik sat far away from Marik and Bakura (Yami was driving) the air around them wasn't as… “frosty” anymore.

 

“Oh nothin' special, just any place with fries and pizza!” Yumi exclaimed happily.

 

The drive was short and as they stopped all but Bakura and Yumi immediately headed into the dinner. As Yumi began to walk away Bakura took a hold of her shoulder.

 

“Yeah Bakura?” she asked as she turned around.

 

“I need to talk to you in private,” Bakura said glancing at the door of the dinner.

 

“Oh… okay,” Yumi said as she followed Bakura back inside the truck. “So what is it?”

 

“Ryou.”

 

Yumi sat staring at Bakura for a moment. It was almost like talking to Ryou a few nights ago. Ryou had admitted to having a tiny crush on Bakura and after that he had of course told her that she wasn't to speak of it to anybody especially not Bakura.

 

“What about Ryou?” Yumi pressed on.

 

“I think….no I know that I….well sorta like him….” Bakura said with difficulty.

 

Yumi almost hugged Bakura out of happiness, “Ah… I see…”

 

“What do I do?” Bakura asked.

 

Yumi laughed, “Tell him of course!”

 

Bakura stared at Yumi as if she was crazy, “You've got to be joking.”

“Nope, isn't that what normally happens when you like someone. You tell them and ask them out!” Yumi said as if it were the most obvious and natural thing in the world.

 

“Ah but if you will remember back-”

 

“I know I know, “I'm a jock and they're outcast”. Jeeze can you get anymore childish! You don't have to do it now, you can wait until your next tutoring session which I believe is tomorrow,” Yumi said waving her hands around herself as she spoke.

 

“You see things so weirdly,” Bakura said as they got out of the truck, “I'll follow your advice…I swear it's going to kill me.”

 

Yumi grinned as Bakura walked ahead of her into the dinner. Things were going perfectly…

 

I close the book and both of us are grinning. There is some serious fluff ahead! You glance at your wrist watch and apologize as you wave and head out the door. I tell you not to worry, you do have other things to do than story time. You respond that even so it is your favorite thing to do.

AUTHORS BLAH BLAH

 

Mistress: I just remmembered why I don't take sports or any martial arts: They make me want to kill myself. and they make me cranky.

 

Anyway I might post some links to my fan art later -__-0 for now I just wanna crawl into a hole and die.
