Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Deepest Dreams ❯ Confusion and Pain ( Chapter 2 )

Star: Hay I'm back with another chapter. This is faster than I usually put up a new chapter, but what can I say? I love Yami and Yugi, both separate and as a couple. ^ ^

Anyway, I'm also going to be posting up another chapter of Don't Leave and The Sweetest Rose. If not today then tomorrow, but it will be soon. Don't forget, for all of you who read Don't Leave, this next chapter is a lemon, so watch for it. ^.~

Well, here we go. Enjoy.

"Yami…hey. Earth ta Yami……YAMI!" yelled Jou, jerking Yami out of his dazed state. "Are you ok bud? You've been acting funny all day."

"I'm fine Jou, I'm just….tired," Yami said, as he feigned a yawn. Truthfully, Yami wasn't tired. He had slept in Yugi's room all night, holding the younger one in his arms. He had never felt so peaceful in his life. The reason he was spacing out was because he was in deep thought.

**Yugi's been avoiding me all day,** he thought as he walked through the halls. **In fact, he hasn't looked at me at all. I hope nothing's wrong with him. Why won't he talk to me?** Yami stared sadly at his light, who was laughing with his friends.

Yugi looked at Yami through the corner of his eye, and saw the usually regal Pharaoh standing in a corner looking depressed and alone. Yugi could feel sadness flow into his heart, but it was quickly replaced with fear when Yami looked at him. *Why do I feel like this? It was just a bad dream, but it felt so real. I care for him too much. Maybe…more than usual. I get a funny feeling when I'm around him, and I like it. But last night, I…..I just don't want that to happen in real life, but what if Yami really does feel that way? What if he really does hate me?*

"Yugi are you ok?" asked Honda with a worried expression. "You seem really quiet today"

Yugi flashed a fake smile at them. "I'm fine guys. I guess today is just one of those days, you know. Now let's get back to class before were late." Yugi ran up the stairs, passing Yami as he jogged down the hall to their next class. Yami just slowly trudged through the hall, followed by Jou.

"Ok, there is definitely something wrong wit you today. Usually you race after Yug, but today you're staying away from him. What happened between you two?"

"Nothing Jou. Everything's fine," Yami said with a sigh. **At least….I hope. I just can't shake the feeling Yugi's afraid of me. Each time he looks at me, I can feel fear come into our link.**

In the class, the teacher gave a new project. He was assigning partners, when he stopped at Yami's name. Usually he paired him up with Yugi, because the two worked perfectly with each other, but today he saw them sitting at different ends of the class. Usually they were inseparable, but today was different. "Yami and...Jou."

Both yami and hikari sighed when they heard the pairings. Yami was relieved because he wanted to give Yugi some space to let him cool down. Yugi, on the other hand, was just relieved that he wouldn't have to work with Yami, not after last night.

"Yugi and…Ryou," the teacher called out, and Yugi smiled happily. He went over to sit with Ryou, and the two friends started talking immediately. Yami was glad to see his light truly happy for once in the day, but was saddened that he wasn't the one causing that happiness.

"So, I'll see you tomorrow, and don't forget to start researching tonight," the teacher finished as the bell rang, signaling to the kids their freedom had come. Yami was packing up his bag, when he heard Yugi's voice come hesitantly through their link.

/Y-Yami?/

\Yes, my little aibou?\

/Ryou is going to spend the night. Is….is that ok?/

\Yes, that's fine,\ Yami replied as he walked through the doors outside. He knew now that Yugi was indeed afraid of him, but for what reason? He decided it would be better if he spent the night somewhere else. He asked Jou and was enthusiastically welcome by both Jou and Honda, who was also spending the night.

\Yugi, I'll be spending the night with Jou and Honda. Since tomorrow is another school day, would you like me to come home early?\

/No/ came the reply, a little too quickly. /No, don't come….early. You…you don't have to do that…because of me./

Yami had to strain to hear the last part, but when he heard he was confused. Why wouldn't he do things for the one he cared for so much? Well…..he was still debating if what he felt last night was brotherly concern or….love.

\Are you sure? It wouldn't bother me at all.\

/…….Yes, I'm sure/

As both of them walked away in different directions, they were each lost in their own thoughts.

**Why do you fear me? I'd never do anything to make you fear me. Please don't be afraid of me, I'd never live with myself if something happened to you because of me. I…I'm sorry for anything, my sweet little Yugi. I'm sorry**

*I'm so afraid now. I don't know why though. It was just a bad dream…but I can't shake the feeling that it was more than a dream. Maybe he just acts nice to me, but secretly he despises me. I don't want him to be angry with me…..even if it means distancing myself from him…maybe for good. I'm sorry if I've done anything, my Yami. I'm sorry.*

Their final apologies were transferred into the mind of the other by the magic of the Millennium Puzzle. Neither knew their thought's had been transferred, but somewhere deep inside, they accepted.

Star: There you go. That was a little longer than before, but not as long as I meant it to be. Since it seems like everyone wants this updated soon, I decided to give you what you want.

Anyway, I'm really tired, so please review if you like. ^ ^
