Chapter Six

She was still with him. She was still apart of him and there wasn't anything Yuugi could do to rid himself of her.

It was an early Sunday morning, the sky was over cast and the breeze in the park had a little bite to it as Yuugi and his grandfather went around the bike trail. Yuugi usually ran this particular path twice on weekends and once every weekday; But today, Yuugi could hardly make it through his run. He came to a slow running stop in the middle of trail. Up ahead, his grandfather brought his bike to stop and glanced back at the youth.

Yuugi had bent at the waist with his hand resting on his knees. He looked up and waved his grandfather on. Sugoroku hesitated but continued on leaving Yuugi.

Yuugi stood up and walked off the trail. He pushed his back the hood of his fleece jacket. He really shouldn't have let his grandfather continued without him, Yuugi silently scolded himself; his grandfather had just begun his exercise routine and he could have a heart attack going around the trail if he wasn't careful.

"This isn't fair." Yuugi dropped down on a small pile of leaves and pulled his knees to his chest. "What did I do to deserve this?" He wondered aloud. This body was too soft and weak. Carrying his school bag around at home had been a chore. After he had left the hospital yesterday, Yuugi had tried to clean his bedroom. Anzu and Jou had to help him since Yuugi's muscles started to cramp and strain after an hour of light housework. Then there was that incident at the mall that Yuugi did not want to think about. He was just grateful that Bakura and Ryou had shown up when they had. Bakura rescued Yuugi and Anzu from three guys who just refused to leave them alone.

"Yami's gonna go into conniptions after he hears about that." The boy muttered in disgust. "I'm going to forbidden from ever leaving the house except to go to school." he picked up a handful leaves and crumbled them between his palms. "I just bet that will please that psychotic bitch. She'd like nothing more than for Yami to start locking me in my room just so I can start hating him and then she would win. That sneaky witch, that's not going happen, I would kick Yami's ass before that happens."

Still there was Yami and his over reaction to what had happened to Yuugi.

When Yami had gotten his memories back it was hellish three weeks for them. Yami had no happy memories. His life had been filled with deceit and betrayal and dark magic almost from the beginning. The few bright spots in Yami's bleak, malevolent existence were at first with his mother who died when Yami was very young and then some lover Yami had, but the memories of that person were also twinge with betrayal. Yuugi never knew the sex of the person, Yami never talked about it except to say he was betrayed by one he loved. There was also Yami's stepmother. From what Yami had told him, that woman had it in for Yami from the start. She had turned Yami's father against him and had tried to remove Yami from the line of succession. She succeed in having Yami's father name her son the heir, but of course Yami killed the boy and the rest of her children before moving on to his father and her. It had scared Yuugi to see the cruel gleam of triumph in Yami's eyes when he told him how he had let her live after he had taken his father's throne. She was powerless, a foreign Princess in his realm with no one to protect her from him. He branded her a witch, stripped her of titles and luxuries, and tossed her into his father's harem where she was used by all of his father's loyal servants. Degrading the Queen had been part of Yami's plan to break the once proud and powerful woman. Yami hated her with passion that survived the grave. He did not end his torment of the woman until she called him Pharaoh and acknowledged him as her lord and master.

Yuugi had nightmares about the fallen Queen's death for a month after that and it still sent a chill down his spine when he though about it. It was sick; a product from a depraved mind, but that person no longer existed. Yami may never be known as a humanitarian, and he would sure as hit someone before offering to assist them; yet he was basically a decent guy.

"Who are you trying to convince, Yuugi? This is the same guy who sent you to the Shadow Realm because you wanted to grow a goatee." Not that he would ever have that problem again, the only facial hair girls had were baby fine mustaches, he snorted contemptuously.

Yuugi let the crumpled leaves trickle through his fingers. He sighed softly to himself as he drew his knees up closer and rested his head on them. He missed Yami.

*******

Yuugi looked a bit like his old self on that Sunday morning; Or that was what Jou wanted to believe.

The two were setting up a new display the game shop. Yuugi had called Jou earlier that morning asking if he wanted to help him out while his grandfather went to pick up Yami and the others from the airport. Jou agreed and was there just as the senior Motou was walking out of the store.

Two later, Jou was sitting across from his best friend on the in the store front window gawking openly at his chest.

It was hot in the shop, with the heart going full blast and Yuugi had felt comfortable enough around his friend to take off the oversized bulky sweater he had pulled on that morning and work in a simple tee shirt.

It was nothing out of the ordainary, he had done it hundreds of times in the past so the though that it might be distracting to his friend never crossed his mind.

Yuugi opened a pack of the special duelist edition of duel monsters' card and poured them out on the floor between them.

"Man, these are so cool." Excitement rushed through him as Yuugi scooped the cards up and fanned them out. "Check'em out, Jou," he held the cards out to the fellow duelist. "Our rookie cards."

With regret, Jou tore his eyes from Yuugi's high, plump breast to look at the cards the his hands; His eyes lit up in genuine delight as he plucked his card from Yuugi's hands. "Oh, yeah, this is what I'm talking about." He crowed, checking out his dueling stats. He raised his eyes to Yuugi who was reading the back of his card as well and he asked, "This are like collectors, right?"

Yuugi nodded. "Limited edition trading cards from the first and second Duelist Kingdom Tournaments." He put the cards down and reached for one of the rolled up posters. "You might as well grab a permanent markers, dude, we've got some posters to autograph as well as some of these cards before we frame them."

Jou laughed, "All apart of being a celebrity, huh?"

Yuugi reached up and pushed his hair over his shoulder and stretched, "Celebrity my ass." He snorted, "I'm a washed up duelist everyone who's faced Yami wants to beat and you-"

"Don't start." The blond duelist warned.

"Yeah, well," he unrolled the poster and Jou watched as the happiness drained from Yuugi's face.

He moved over to Yuugi's side and put his arm around his slim shoulders. "Yug?" concern mirrored in his voice.

Yuugi shied away from his friend's touch, a touch that was not all that brotherly or friendly as it used to be and he stood up. "Mokuba would go nuts if Yami and I were to both autograph this." He went over to the sales counter for a roll of tape.

Jou had stood up as well. He started towards Yuugi, "Yuu-" He started.

"I'm hungry." He interrupted him. Yuugi went around the counter and found his grandfather's petty cash box. "How about you run down to the bakery and grab us a couple of cinnamon buns and lattes? Man, all this work?" He shoved some money into Jou's hands and almost pushed him out of the door. Jou tried to protest but Yuugi threw Jou's jacket into his arms and rushed him out with a half pleading look that melted the taller boy's resistance.

Reluctantly, Jou left to do as Yuugi's ask. As he closed the door behind himself, Jou could not help but be proud of himself. Today was the first time he had felt confident enough to make a move on Yuugi. Why shouldn't he? All of Domino knew Yami was gay, the guy looked like a homo, at least that was Jou thought. And yeah, Yuugi was gay, too. He could have a little bi curious, Jou didn't know for sure, but he always suspected that Yuugi a little thing for Anzu and this last week seemed to confirm it. Jou found nothing wrong with that, he was bisexual himself. When it came to getting laid, he didn't care if it was coming from chick or a dude, just as long as Jou got some. However, when it came to love, it didn't matter about the sex of that person and he had waited patiently for love to finally come his way.

It had started out so easily. Yuugi was his best friend, everyone used to note how close they were. It was Anzu who first said mentioned that Jou and Yuugi were just like brothers and Jou had been fine with that. Then fast forward to the Battle City Tournament. In that duel Yuugi had defied Yami to save Jou from Marik's control and had almost died in the process. Jou was still pretty young and he didn't know what the new feelings he had for Yuugi were at them, but he knew he would have done anything for Yuugi, anything; He was devotion was without limits when it came to his friend.

Then Yami and Yuugi separated and Jou found himself being pushed aside as Yami made a place for himself in Yuugi's life. Yami always needed Yuugi's attention. Yuugi couldn't go anywhere or do anything without that freaking dead Pharaoh hanging around except for school and soon not even there. Yuugi was in advance classes and his friends only saw him in the hallway and at lunch. Then when Yami started going to school, they were lucky if they saw Yuugi at all. The two were together more than they were apart. The happiest day of Jou's life was when Yami graduated from high school. By this time Jou had recognized what his new found feelings for Yuugi as what they were. The worst day of his life came about two years ago.

He had shown up at the Motou's one afternoon. It was summer break, the weather was hot, and it was a great day to go to the beach or the local pool. It was just a typical summer's day.

Sugoroku had told him to go on up; He had said that Yami and Yuugi were studying. The old man laughed about that, so did Jou as if it were a private joke or something; Those two were always studying especially since Yami was going to KO University in the fall. Jou remembered thinking that Yami was a lucky SOB to have gotten into the school and he didn't think the one time Pharaoh had gotten in on his "good grades" alone.

He pushed those thoughts out of his head; he didn't know all that much about Yami and he still though the guy could read minds if he wanted to despite what Yuugi had said. Yami had whooped Kaiba's ass three times just for looking at him the wrong way, Jou was sure that the former spirit had taken a peak into Kaiba's head and didn't like what that bastard had been thinking.

Jou was removing his shoes when he heard a loud thump coming from somewhere in the apartment. He stepped out of shoes and came further into the house. He checked the empty living, the television was off as was the stereo; It was when he started towards the kitchen, Jou heard something hit a wall and break. He started to race up stairs when he heard Yuugi cry out for Yami. The boy sounded as if he were in pain and on the verge of tears. Jou reached Yuugi's room-he remembered the bedroom door being open, not cracked or flung fully wide; it was just opened-Jou remembered reaching the door and coming to a complete stop. What happened after that, he couldn't recall. He just remembered kneeling on broken glass and debris as he retched in an alley far away from the Kame Game Shop and the Motou's house.

A few days later, he had come stumbled across the two in the park. Yami had Yuugi pressed between himself and tree and the two were devouring each other's mouths and it all came back to him in a blinding rush. He had seen them together, having sex on Yuugi's bed. Yami and Yuugi…Jou vowed to never forgive Yami for this and in the same breath he promised to one day have Yuugi. Now he had his chance.

Yuugi was a girl and Yami was gay. Now it was only a matter of time before that asshole came out and told Yuugi he didn't want him anymore and then good ol' Jou would be there to pick up the pieces.

Jou could not keep the smile from his face as he realized that his fondest wish was about to become true. Wasn't life just grand?

********

Yuugi let out a sigh of relief once Jou was gone. He looked out at the empty store before he pushed off the door. On his way back to the window display, Yuugi snagged his discarded sweater and pulled it back on.

If it was Kaiba then it was his best friend, he though grimly as he tugged the sweater over his unnatural abundance. The last thing Yuugi wanted was for Yami to jump on Jou for this-Or maybe he was just being paranoid.

"Yeah, that's it." Yuugi mumbled as he flipped through the cards he was going to add to the display and the ones he was going to have autographed.

A while later, Yuugi had put the last of the poster and finished with the display. He raised the shade on the shop door and opened up for business. It was a quarter after nine when the bell on the door twinkled. Yuugi was on the phone with a Mokuba, letting the kid now about the new shipment that had arrived when someone called out his name.

The young duelist jumped. He turned around quickly and with a whoop, Yuugi dropped the receiver as he leapt over the counter and pounced on Honda.

"Whoa!" The brown haired boy took a step back. He caught Yuugi in a headlock and started to give him a nuggie. "You little punk. Is this how you greet a guy who brought you a gift?"

"What you get me?" Yuugi demanded as he shoved his left elbow into Honda's side.

The taller youth shoved him away, "I've give you a hint. It's from a chick with a secret."

"I don't get it?"

Honda pointed at Yuugi's chest and winked. "Yami's going to like it." He stepped past Yuugi to check out the new cards in the display case.

Yuugi turned around and looked at his friend, puzzlement clearly written on his face as he tried to piece it together. The light bulb went off it and with it went Yuugi's temper.

"You fucking hentai," He shrieked wildly; Yuugi took a flying leap and landed on Honda's back. "Man, I'm going to kick your-"

Honda had anticipated this reaction but not the violence of it. Yuugi was sitting up on Honda's back like he was riding a horse and he was using Honda's hair as the reins. Honda retaliated by grabbing two fistfuls of Yuugi's tri coloured locks and was pull them.

"Oww, let go of my hair, you son of a bitch," Yuugi yelled even as he pulled tighter more on Honda's head.

Honda let out a shrill scream that was almost feminine in it's pitch. "I'm going to kick your-"

//Hikari.// The mental command slashed through mind causing the boy to cry out in pain.

Honda realized Yuugi was no longer playing around. Yuugi had let go of him and was now climbing down from his back. Honda let go of the boy's hair and turned to the doorway where Yami stood.

Yuugi collapsed against the case, with his hands to his head and his eyes closed tight as if in pain. Yami did not move to help him; He just continued to stand in the door with his arms crossed over his chest, watching impassively while Yuugi suffer…

"I'm going!" Yuugi burst out. "Damn it-" He winced again. He almost fell to his knees. "I'm sorry, Yami."

Yami relaxed his stance and picked up the bags at his feet. "Shouldn't you be resting?"

Yuugi nodded numbly as Yami came towards him. "I-I'm going…Where's Ji-san?"

"He's coming." Yami told him. //Go to your room. We need to talk.//
