Warning: As the title says the witch. That means Anzu. Heavy Anzu-bashing and Yami taking care of her. I tried to make it a little angst, with Yami and Yugi and all the girls... But I just CAN'T, I can't write something even a little angst, as much as I would love to!
And so I changed the course and put the Anzu-bashing in, since humor and romantic is more my combination of genres! (Damn!)
Oh well, but I hope you like it anyway!
3. The evil witch
Yugi woke up on this nice and peaceful morning to the loud ringing of an annoying telephone outside of his room in the hall. Thinking about who would call this early in the morning, he heard heavy steps and his pharaohs angry muttering: "Dear gods please don’t let it be the witch again. I would rather deal with Pegasus again, then with her."
He could feel Yamis irritation over the link as he checked the caller ID, followed by another growl.
Then the ringing stopped all of a sudden, and Yugi could hear his grandpa scowl:"Yami?!"
"Ähm…yes?"
'Interesting, Yami sounds a little nervous and guilty, wonder what he did.'
"What did I tell you?"
"Not to sent things in the shadow realm?"
"And what did you do?"
"Sent the telephone in the shadow realm?"
"Right!"
"But it was Anzu calling again! I don’t want to listen to her this early in the morning! I will feel sick the whole day! Grandpa! You can't make me! You are not cruel?!"
Now Yami sounded a little distressed, until the older man (well, at last older by appearance) chuckled.
"It's all right, boy. Just remember, we need that thing, so bring it back tomorrow."
Yami let out a sigh of relief and Yugi could hear him walk away again, now a little more happy then before.
It seems that sending things to the shadow realm is some kind of stress and anger management for every Yami…
With those thoughts, the boy sat up in his bed. It was time to get up and get dressed soon, and he couldn’t sleep any longer anyway. And he could hear Yami growling and swearing in the other room about evil witches who can't get a hint, and how he would have put them in boiling oil as he was pharaoh, and he was allowed to kill everyone who was in his way. And everyone who insulted him with their presence as well.
In the meantime, Anzu was sitting alone in her room with its pink walls and the ugly pink carpet. Posters and photos of Yami where everywhere. Even the ceiling was full of them, all with red hearths around Yamis head. And all of them where snapshots, taken without permission as the Yami was out with his friends.
The girl was up for a long time by now, since today was a very important day for her.
Valentines Day.
And she had made sure that Yami really understood what kind of day this is, how important it is, since none of the spirits had known about it until she came along.
She had him and the others told what they are supposed to do, what to say…
Now she just has go to school, look as great and beautiful as she could, and wait for Yami to come and get her. Of course she would have to make sure that none of the other sluts in school could get in her way and try to pester or distract him, but that was not a big problem.
She would just wait by the school gates to get him first, then pull him away from that clinking shrimp Yugi, and let him ask her out for a date.
Of course she will need a place with no one around for that, because Yami was such a sweet and shy guy, he would never say anything with his friends around. When his Hikari was around, he would always ignore her!
Well, that would change after today!
She grinned at her image in the mirror and tried again to call the former pharaoh. She couldn’t understand why he always called her names and then hung up at her the first five times, and now he didn’t even picked it up any longer! She tried it now for the at last twentieth time, but he still refused to talk to her!
Then she giggled stupidly.
Yami must be too shy to talk to her!
Anzu blinked at her phone, it seems to be death or something, and she couldn't get a connection!
(Yami had by now sent it to the shadows!)
She threw her phone out of the window with an angry snarl: "You stupid thing, you just want to keep me away from my lover! But he will come and get me anyway! And then he will kill you for your crimes!"
"Anzu, stop your yelling that early, some people are trying to sleep!" called her mother, and she could hear her father whisper: "I really don’t know from what part of our families that insanity comes. Do you have any relatives in a nuthouse, or something I don’t know about? You didn’t drink or do drugs as you where pregnant with her, right?"
"Not that I know. And I would never even touch drugs! But there is always the possibility that someone in the hospital switched her shortly after birth…"
(Even her parents think she's insane…^____^ )
Yugi was a little nervous, as he looked at the white box of self-made chocolate, hidden in his book bag. All he had to decide now was the time when he will give it to his Yami, after he nearly burnt the kitchen down trying to get it perfect. He still couldn’t understand how that damn curtains could catch fire, he wasn’t even near them!
Yugi shrugged his shoulders, it doesn’t matter anymore. At the end he got it right, and it looked good, tasted good also, so who cared about the total mess he made in the kitchen…
Maybe he should give it now, so he could get it over with, and he had not to wonder anymore?
But before he could move, Yami stormed in his room, grabbed his arm and dragged him downstairs in a hurry:"You are going to be late, Aibou. What where you doing, sitting on your bed and starring in the air?"
Yugi blinked up at his darker half and blushed as he got lost in sparkling red eyes.
"Yugi? Come on, today's a big day."
'At last I hope it is.' Yami thought to himself as he watched Yugi grabbing some breakfast, making Yami chuckle at his squeak of panic after seeing the clock.
'Anzu was talking about it for weeks.' Yami cringed at the memory of that clinging nightmare, whenever she was near him she would talk about how much this day is for confessing love and going on dates…
'Maybe she did something right for once, at last I hope I do the right thing…'
He didn’t even notice Yugi dashing out the door, calling back a quick 'Good-bye' as he was a little lost in his hopes and plans for later, after school. There where still some things to do, to prepare, and hopefully it will all go according to plan.
'Last thing I need is for Bakura and Marik to ruin this day for us, they always want to fight just in the worst moments… But then again, the way they are always watching their own lights… I would say, they are busy enough with their own plans. Good for me. And more for me to tease them with…'
"Their poor Hikaris…" Yami didn’t even notice that he said that out loud until Salomon asked:
"What about the Hikaris? Anything I should know? Is someone out to kill them, or to take over the world"
"What? Oh, no, just Bakura and Marik properly giving them gifts. And with their twisted minds…" he chuckled at the thought.
The old man joint in, also seeing the humor, especially with Marik and his bloodlust.
"Aibou, could you…" he turned around to see Yugi already gone.
"He left a while ago. You where so lost in your dreaming, you didn’t notice him running off. But you know where his school is, and if something happen he will call you."
And with that he stood up to go and open the game shop, leaving Yami alone on the table.
Yugi meanwhile joined a worried Ryou and an annoyed Malik on his way to school.
"Are you all right, Ryou? You look a little troubled."
"Yes, I think I'm alright, I just have that weird feeling that something is going to happen. Bakura is alone at home, and he wouldn’t tell me why. You are so lucky, Malik, Marik can stay with your sister all day, so he can't cause too much trouble."
"You think? Try waking up in the morning with a decorated, bloody head on your nightstand."
Both of the other teens paled at the thought, but Malik merely shook his head:
"It's not that bad, you know, but I think Ishizu will go crazy if he keeps that up. Just imagine that, yesterday I had to remove him with the broom from under my bed!
And I always need to check in my closets and all, before I can change clothes or go under the shower."
"Well, I think he loves you. Somehow… And this is his…own special way in showing it…" said Yugi a little hesitant, but Malik shook his head.
"Na… he properly just has some fun and wants to share it… You know, like a kid finding a new game and showing it off…"
"You sound disappointed!" voiced Ryou before he clamped a pale hand over his mouth, blushing slightly red.
Malik turned with a smile around to him: "And what about you, dear Ryou? Why is Bakura at home?"
"He didn’t tell. But I bet he's just plotting a theft, or how he can defeat Yami, or something alike… And what about you, Yugi?! Don’t tell me Yami has not his eyes on you…" he quickly changed the topic.
Yugi also blushed, but answered nonetheless.
"You know he is always quite protective. But I will tell him… just don’t know when, and what to say…" he mumbled, but even so the others heard him and giggled.
"Awww… Don’t worry, everything will be fine…"
"Yes, I know… I don’t worry. Not really…"
They had a little encounter with Anzu at the gates as they get there, and she a thick cloud of cheap perfume surrounded her that made it very hard to breathe when she was near. A girl even fainted as the witch stood beside her for a moment. She demanded to know where Yami was, and Yugi send a picture of her to his Yami over the mind link, along with a mischievous grin.
Yami sent him a smile back and a picture from himself, hiding under a bed with his hands over his head.
As Anzu saw him smile instead of paying attention to her, she got angry and grabbed his collar to sake him a little.
But to his luck Ryou got quickly rid of her with a little trick, so they could finally go inside without Anzu screeching about Yami and how much he loves her.
"Yeah, sure, and that’s why Yami sent the telephone to the shadow realm, just so she can't call him anymore!" told Yugi the others merrily, making his fellow Hikaris giggling and chuckling as well at her stupidly.
"You should tell her that, I bet she will be excided to hear how much he appreciates her calls…"
Chuckling they watched Anzu falling over her own feet with that high heels of her, and she landed flat on her face. She was just lucky that the ground was dry, or she would look terrible. More terrible then she already does.
"Come, Malik, let her alone; it is a bad day for her. She just doesn't know it yet…" said Yugi, as he saw Malik looking towards the garden hose lying innocently around. It was not very hard to guess what the blond Hikari was thinking about, and the other two shoved him quickly inside. No need to get in trouble today just because Malik wanted to play a little prank on her.
(I bet he will love the 1. April…)
"Or do you think your sister would appreciate it when you get detention? She would be even longer alone with your Yami!"
And that finally held him back from torturing her a little more, and he left her alone with a pout.
The whole school was decorated for this day, girls where giving cards and chocolates and skipping around the school to fill lockers with fluffy stuff. One of the girls gave them small chocolates even before they where properly inside, telling them they where cute, just to skip away happily.
After getting rid of their blushes; Yugi, Ryou and Malik opened their lockers and blinked at the lots of colorful cards dropping out of them, along with some little chocolate-boxes.
They just blinked at them as Anzu, who's locker was also near, glared at them for making her believe that Yami was waiting for her!
She looked slightly tattered from a couple of heavy falls, with dry leafs from last year in her hair:
"Yeah, yeah, it seems that a lot of peoples here think you three are cute and adorable, especially when together! I don’t know why, and I don’t care either about all those idiots who have no taste.
But listen, and listen well, because I only say it once!
Today is my big day, and I will finally win Yami over! So just stay out of my way, or there will be dire consequences for you!"
Ryou blinked confused at her. 'Why the hell is she here, she should still be outside searching for Yami.' But it seems she had enough brain to see that it was only a trick.
Malik stuck out his tongue at her as she bounced away with her shoes in her hand. He patted Yugis head: "Don’t worry, you know that Yami don’t like her."
Yugi couldn’t hide a smile "I know that. Whenever he notices her anywhere near him, I can feel a huge wave of bloodlust over the link. Sooner or later she will piss him off enough with all her clinging, he will simply mind-crush her."
"I would like to see that." Everyone turned around to Ryou, who just smiled innocently:
"What?! It's true, after all! We all would love to see that happen. That’s the reason we made our bet about when that will be!"
"Sure, but I swear, you spent way too much time with your tomb robber!"
"Bakura isn't my tomb robber!" 'But I sure wouldn’t mind if he was…'
The three Hikaris went to their classes, all of them hoping, for several reasons that the day will pass soon. On their tables where several little plush toys, along with more chocolate, much to Maliks joy. But the others where also happy about the sweets, and couldn’t help but eat some.
Yugi was on the way to his locker in break, to put his books and the chocolate away.
He had ignored the cards he had found on his table telling him how cute he was and all, but was somehow glad that they weren't signed, so he doesn’t have to respond to them. He really hated to hurt peoples, even if he doesn’t know them very well.
He felt somehow flattered by them, true, but he didn’t want to be seen as cute. Cute sounds like something an aunt would say to a little girl in a flowery dress and a bow in her long hair.
'Really not what I want. And beside that, I already have other plans. I wouldn’t mind if they give their cards others, even if the most are just anonym crushes, nothing serious.'
After a lot of struggling and reasoning with himself for the past few weeks, he had decided for himself that he needed to tell Yami how he felt.
This was the best day for it, and even if the other didn’t felt the same, at last he would tell him. Or better, show him.
With the chocolate he had made especially for Yami…
And he trusted Yami not to laugh at him, or make fun, right?
'Right. Even if he doesn't feel the same, he wouldn’t hurt me too much. And it is easier to know now then to always wonder.'
Besides, he was somewhat certain that Yami felt the same, by the way that ruby eyes followed him always, and that feelings sometimes coming through the link…
Lost in his own thoughts he suddenly saw a familiar star-shaped mass of black hair.
His hearth skipped a beat as he saw his Yami, with a bunch of giggling girls surrounding him standing not far away. The former pharaoh was smiling as he looked around, seemingly searching for someone special.
In his hand he had a pink heart shaped box with a big red bow, and he gave it to a girl with long, blonde hair, who smiled brightly up at him.
For a moment Yugi didn’t know what to make out of the scene, all he could do was watch with wide eyes, as his Yami gave the girl some card and a stuffed bear as well. And the girl looked at him as if she was about to hug and kiss him in her happiness, while several other girls where not so delighted by that and shoot the blonde girl livid glares of jealousy.
(Well, and that was already all the angst I could think of…^_^' I really can't do anything dramatic…)
But after a moment the little Hikari smiled again as he saw what Yami was really doing there: People kept shoving their cards and chocolates in his hands, and he just passed them on to the nearest person he found, without looking at it or even thinking about it. He clearly showed that he didn’t want them at all, but they didn’t seem to get the hint.
He even looked a little irritated at all the unwanted gifts he never asked for. He just wanted to talk to his Aibou before he made arrangements for later this day.
Ruby-red eyes widen in relief as he finally spotted Yugi in the mass of students, and he nearly run to his smaller Hikari.
"Aibou! I'm so glad I found you." He blinked as a giggling girl gave him another heard-shaped box, looking at him with a blush and hope in her eyes.
With a shrug he shoved it some random passing boy in the arms, who blushed brightly as he also looked up at Yami.
Yami ignored both of them and took Yugis hand, giving it a light squeeze:
"Yugi, when you come home after school, and you're still alive, please wait in the living room for me, and we can spend the afternoon together. I need to talk to you, and I want to show you something, a surprise?!"
"Okay, Yami, I would love to."
Yugi nodded with a smile, happy that Yami wanted to spent time with him, not someone else, and he would make sure not to waste this chance.
Yami smile back at his sweet light and took of, jumping out of the window of the first floor just to get away from this crazy school and the even crazier students.
'And one of them especially, I hope I don’t see her!"
But there was one thing Yami was worried about:
He had seen Yugis locker for a few moments, since he tried to wait there for his light, and he just hoped Yugi wouldn’t eat all that sweets, or he could get sick. And who knows what twisted mind had made them in the first place!
Someone could poison it, or put sleeping pills in it to kidnap his light and hurt him or take advance of him! Yugi could get a sore tummy, or it could contain a curse that did weird things to him. Someone could even try to sell them to some random pervert; Yugi is cute and adorable after all!
The longer he thought about it, the more possibilities came to his mind, and he panicked a little until he shouted:
//Aibou, don’t eat any of that chocolate people give you!!! Please, I beg you, do me that favor! Your grandpa always says that you shouldn’t accept sweets from strangers! You don’t know who gave them to you!!!!//
Yami heard Yugis soft laughter in his mind, as well as his promise, and calmed down.
But before he could make it safely away, he heard something terrible. Something he really didn’t want to hear, not now and not anytime.
It made his blood run cold, in a way not even Pegasus, Bakura and Marik where able to.
"Yami!!!!!!! Yami, dear, wait for me!"
Yami never wanted to run away and hide so much as at this very moment. But Anzu caught him before he even could start to run.
The girl grabbed his arm and grinned up at him:
"Yami, I bet you where looking for me all the time, right? Here, I made this chocolate personally, all by myself, and just for you! Are we going out today? Or do you want to watch a movie at my place? My parents are away for a few days, so we can be all alone, and no one would disturb us, no matter what we are doing."
She made a short break to breath and smiled in a way she thought was seductive.
'Think, Yami. There must be a way to get away. I have things to plan, supplies to fetch, a Hikari to win…' He looked down at her 'A witch to destroy…'
"Or we can go to the mall and go shopping, and we can watch the sunset afterwards. You could carry me home after we look at the stars at the beach, and then you can spent the night with me, and every other night after that, too, if you want.
And tomorrow we let anyone know that we are together, and that you are mine, and then you can always pick me up after school or meet me in the breaks and we eat together, just you and me. I cook every day for you, way better then the shri- I mean Yugi. After all, I'm a girl, no way can a boy better cook them me!
(Yeah, right… we all believe that!)
Everyone will be jealous because we are so, so happy, like in a fairytale. And they will put photos in papers and journalists will put us in the news because we are such a perfect couple that anyone should know about it! We are simply meant for each other, a match made in heaven, we will love each other forever, and have a lot of children… "
Yami turned from pale to green at those suggestions, not to mention that by now it was hard to think for him, since her perfume made it very hard to breathe. And it will surly kill some brain cells if he didn’t get away from her quickly!
Yami tried to move to the gate, but she was clinging too tightly to his arm, and so he had to drag her along since she refused to let go of him.
"ANZU!"
"Yes, my dear, sweet, sexy Yami-chan?"
"Get lost!"
"You mean, 'come with me', right? Skip school and go out with me!"
"No, I mean, get lost, go away, fuck up, drop dead! Let me alone!"
"And you will pick me up later? After school?"
"Don’t you get it? I don’t want to see you, hear you, and much less I want to touch you. And I don’t want you to touch me!"
"But Yami…"
"No buts, you little witch, you let me the fuck ALONE!"
Anzu starred at the angry pharaoh with big eyes.
And squealed.
She jumped up and down and nearly hugged him: "You make a surprise? For ME?! That so sooo great! And sweet! I love you so, so much!"
"And I want to kill you so, so much." murmured Yami, but the stupid girl simply didn’t get it! She looked up at him with big eyes and pouted at his stubbornness, and then she tried it with terrible blackmail:
"If you don’t go out with me I follow you around the whole day to find out about that surprise. I really want to spend the day with you, and you know you want it, too. You are just too shy to ask me, even when you know that I would go with you anytime!"
'Oh dear Ra in heaven, please spare me that torture or kill me instantly!!!'
But than he had a better idea, and with a smile he turned around to the girl, who thought she had finally won.
It was very hard for him to say the next thing without gagging, but he was a pharaoh! He couldn’t just throw up in public. It would make him look bad.
"Anzu, on second thought, I would like to go out with you."
He had to cover his ears for a moment at her squeal of delight, and he was very glad that no one was around to witness that ugly scene.
Time to shut her up.
"But! You are not allowed to tell anyone about it!"
Anzu was about to protest, but Yami gave her a firm look:
"I will meet you after school, not sooner and not later, right afterwards! Get it?
But if you tell even one single soul about it, it will be a proof that I can't trust you the slightest bit. And if I can't trust you, I can't have you anywhere near me. You understand? Tell someone, and you will never see me again in your life!"
'Last thing I need is that someone finds out about that!'
Anzu nodded reluctantly. It would be hard not to shoot out the good news, but it was a test, and she wouldn’t fail it.
If silence can win her a date with the sexy Yami, she would be as silence as a grave!
There was always tomorrow to tell everyone about it, with all the great details!
With a big grin she let go of the disgusted spirit and run back to her class, while Yami went also his way with a shudder and a felling as if he had just signed his own death warrant.
The box for chocolate he simply throws away with a disgusted snore. No way in hell he would eat that poisoned crap!
He had to run some errands for later, and now he had to plot something for that stupid witch as well!
But that couldn’t stop him from teasing Bakura about how he doesn’t know where to find a pet for his little Hikari. Who would have thought that Bakura would give him a bunny as a present, and not some stolen jewels or something. It looks like even Bakura had a little bit of romantic somewhere in that dark hole he called his hearth…
And he could swear he saw Mariks crazy hair as he came out of the fifth flower-shop with his arms full of red roses. He needs as many as he could get and put them away for tonight.
But for the moment they stood in several buckets with water and hidden them safely away until they where needed.
Finally everything was perfectly planned and ready, and all he had to do now was waiting for Yugi to come home so they could spent some time together until it was time for his surprise.
And he had even time for Anzu, even if he doesn’t really look forward to meet her.
Anzu was grinning the whole time in school, and scared a lot of people away from her, but surprisingly she refused to tell anyone the reason.
Finally Joey couldn’t stand that creepy look of hers any longer and he had to go over and ask:
"Okay, now spill! What's the matter with you? Yami wasn’t here all day, and here you are smirking as if you won the jackpot! You are scaring the people, and if you don’t stop that, I'm will go and call the nurse. That isn't normal, and we both know it!"
Anzu just smiled her 'I-know-something-you-doesn’t-know' smile and skipped away.
Malik shuddered.
"What do you think? Delusions or just mere wishfulness? It has something to do with Yami, that much is clear…"
Yugi just shrugged his shoulder: "Yami was here in our first break, he told me to come home straight after school. He wants us to spend the day together. So she can't have any real reason to smile."
"Yeah, she is crazy. So what? That’s nothing new!"
"Yes, and you know what you are talking about, right, Malik?"
Suddenly a boy steps up behind Yugi and tipped on his shoulder: "Its done." he simply said and walked away. Yugi nodded and whispered a quite "Thank you".
His friends just gave him puzzled looks, asking what that was about, but he grabbed the other two Hikaris and dragged them away: "I bet you two will like that, as bloodthirsty and mean as you are."
"I'm NOT bloodthirsty and mean!" protested Ryou, and Malik giggled: "Yeah, right, that’s way you said you would like to see Yami mind-crush Anzu!"
"That has nothing to do with bloodthirsty and such! Everyone who knows her would think so! And that’s beside the point anyway. So what did you do to her, Yugi?" his white skin did nothing to hide his blush, even as Ryou tried to change the topic quickly.
Yugi dragged them away to the lockers with a smirk: "Well, you see, I ask a few peoples to help me with a little problem in my first class, and they in turn asked also a few peoples…"
"But Yugi, we are your friends! Why didn’t came you to US with your problem?! You know…"
"I know Joey, but it is nothing serious! And you could say that it is a little surprise…"
He stopped his friends near Anzus locker, and they looked in shock.
The locker was nearly bursting, so many notes and letters where inside, and someone had nailed a bag on the opening to place all the paper in.
"It's impossible for her to have THAT many admirers! The people here are not insane enough for that!" muttered Malik in shook, and Yugi giggled cutely.
"Well, those are not exactly love letters. In the first class, she came in and annoyed everyone with her ranting about how Yami will write her many love letters. And I said to that boy beside me, we should write her one, but about the things we hate about her, you know. Sort of a 'hate letter'. And he told his girlfriend, and she told her friends, and, well, that’s the result…"
Anzus stupid grin vanished as she looked through the letters, and they all said how stupid she looked in that dress, how bad her makeup was, and how annoying the rants about friendship where…
The evil witch had a very hard time not to spill her secret, but somehow she made it through the day.
(And I know you where probably waiting for her to fail, so Yami could get away, but he has better plans! And beside, it would be too easy that way…)
After school she skipped happily to the meeting point in a distant park. She looked right and left to make sure no one was following her. As if someone would actually care what she was doing! Everyone had other, more important things to do.
Like going on dates, visiting relatives or getting a root treatment.
The poor spirit shuddered as she run up to Yami and tried to hug him. But luckily he could step away and watch her fall flat on her face.
"Okay, wit.. I mean, bit… No, I mean ANZU!"
(He wants to say bitch and witch, but cut himself short! ^___^)
"Hello, my dear Yami, I hope I'm not to late for our date!"
'That’s not a date! That's hell!' screamed everything in Yami, but he made a straight face as he turned around. He didn’t look if she was following him.
Sadly she did.
So Yami took her to the airport, all the while ignoring her ranting and squealing.
'Just a little bit longer. Don’t worry, Yami, soon this nightmare is over, and then you have the rest of the day all to yourself. It is worth it! The whole evening with Yugi! Don’t forget, if you get rid of her now, she can't get in your way later! '
"Oh, Yami, you want to fly away with me? That is so great, I wish I could have told someone."
"Yeah, I bet."
"And where are we going?"
"Hawaii."
"Hawaii! Oh, that’s sooo romantic! The sunsets on the beach, swimming in the late night, just you and me alone… But I don’t have any clothes with me! We need to go shopping as soon as we get there; I need at last a bikini. Or do you think I shouldn’t wear one? Oh, thank you, thank you so, so much, Yami!!!!"
Yami just gave a heavy sigh and put a big suitcase down.
'Just a little bit. After you done here, you can throw up!' he promised himself and tried to get rid of the picture of Anzu in, or worse, without bikini…
'Hell, even Marik would say that’s a very cruel and heartless torture!'
He looked at Anzu while tapping his foot: "I want you to get in there and not coming out until I tell you to."
Yami waited with anticipation if she really was THAT stupid. It is impossible for a human being to be THAT stupid!
"But why should I do this? Yami?"
'Whoa, looks like it can think, after all! What now?'
"I want to see if you are really as flexible as you claims to be with your dancing, but I guess you are not flexible enough… Or is it that you don’t trust me?"
'If you have a bit of brain you don’t trust me and run away.'
"But of course I trust you, my dear Yami! You would never do something to hurt me, I know that! You love me more than anything!"
'Yeah, right. Move your fat ass, stupid witch!'
And so Anzu got in the suitcase, Yami locked it a little security lock, and tricked the guard into letting him pass with his living luggage. No one asked questions and no one looked inside. Everything went according to plan, much to his relief, as he heard a calling over the link he shared with Yugi.
/Yami, are you all right? I'm at home, but I can't find you…/
//Yes, sorry, Aibou! I was a little held back by something, please wait a bit. I just had to get rid of that witch Anzu, since she wouldn’t go away freely.//
/So that’s why she was grinning the whole day! What did you do to her?/
Yami smiled as he heard that Yugi wasn’t angry with him.
He put the suitcase on the assembly line and left the airport without looking back. Just as he was going out of the main entrance, he stopped for a moment.
//Well, I send her on a trip to Hawaii//
/Hawaii? Why…/
//Hawaii is that white and empty land at the North Pole, right?//
/Not really. Hawaii is warm and sunny, why?/ asked Yugi, now curios, while Yami made his way home.
//Then I think it might be a little cold with that kind of clothes… seems that I made a mistake with the address..//
Smiling he went home, both of them chuckling about Anzus stupidly. Really, who in his right mind would freely get into a suitcase!
Yugi was already waiting for him and Yami couldn’t help but smile at the boy, as he found him sitting in the living room, munching on some cookies grandpa had made for them.
"Hey, Aibou, sorry that I made you waiting. But the witch caught me, and I had to do something about her. Otherwise she would have ruined our whole day!"
"Hi, Yami! No, it's all right. We where wondering the whole day about what's the matter with her. And she really was that stupid to get in a suitcase?"
"Yes, I swear, I didn’t force her!"
The sat down on the couch, and Yami stole a few cookies from the plate.
"Aibou, would you go out with me later, even if I don’t tell you where we go? I want it to be a surprise."
"You wouldn’t put me in a suitcase, would you?" he teased Yami, who in turn messed with his hair.
"Never, Yugi. That’s only for evil witches who can't take a No for an answer."
"Then I follow you, where every you take me."
"Thank you, Aibou. You wouldn’t regret it."
They watched TV for several hours, cuddled together on the couch, until Yami looked up at clock.
"It is time, Aibou. Would you put this on?" and he gave his Hikari a silken, amethyst-colored blindfold the former pharaoh had prepared in his pocket.
"And don’t try to cheat and spy or I have to punish you, Aibou!" he teased him a little with a smile, and Yugi didn’t hesitate a second to put the dark violet cloth securely over his eyes.
"I could go to my soul-room and wait there until you tell me to come out, if you want."
"No, if you don’t mind, I would like to take a little walk. Not for long, but..""Its okay, Yami." cut Yugi in. He was curios what his other had planned for them, and he fumbled blindly around to take Yamis hand. Yami sent a comforting smile through the link and took the small hand.
"Come on, let's go, Aibou."
Yugi followed his pharaoh outside.
The evening breeze washed lightly over his face, fresh and a little cool, and it smelt from moist earth. Yamis hand in his own was warm and reassuring, and he could feel the others body heat as he walked slowly beside him.
Yami guided him outside and wrapped his left arm around his waist, while he took his right hand in his own right one.
Cars passed by, and Yami made with a strong grip sure he didn’t accidentally run over the street or in other peoples. And so they made their way without bumping into anything, even if Yugi couldn’t see.
He couldn’t tell where they where going, but he felt save in Yamis arms even without sight. Suddenly the sounds around them changed, there where leafless trees rustling in the wind, which seems to be a little colder and smelled of water now.
He could also hear birds singing their songs, and suddenly there was water. The light couldn’t say if there where other peoples around, he couldn’t hear anyone's steps beside his own and Yamis.
Little stones where crunching under their shoes, and suddenly Yami made them stop and squeezed his hand lightly.
"Yugi? Wait here for a moment, I have to fetch something. I have you in my sight all the time, and I'm back in a short moment, so don’t worry. Nothing bad can happen to you…"
"All right."
Yugi could hear the waves clashing on the shore, and Yamis steps walking away, but not too far. Something was scratching over the ground, but the short Hikari couldn’t say what was making those sounds. Something moved in the water, and Yugi nearly jumped as something touched his hand gently.
"Yugi? Come, but let the blindfold on. Just for a little longer." Those words, spoken softly in his ear, made him shiver a little, and he nodded.
Again, Yami took the pale hand before he scoped him up in his arms, and Yugi laid his cheek against the warm, strong chest. He inhaled the familiar scent before he was sat down on a wooden bench.
"Yami?" whispered the Hikari as he heard water all around them, and whatever it was, it moved and swayed under them. Something was around Yugis feet, but he really couldn’t tell what it was. Yugi guessed that they where in a boat, but he couldn’t be sure until Yami let him have a look.
The former pharaoh suddenly took Yugis hands in his.
"I'm very glad that you came here with me today, without asking the questions I know you must have, Aibou. I'm very proud that you trust me so much that you even let me blindfold you for a walk trough the park.
I have to tell you something important, and I'm not really sure how to do this, since it is noting you learn in school, and I never did it before, it wasn’t necessary until now, until I meet you.
And Yugi, I can understand if you don’t feel the same way, if you prefer a cute girl on your side or something. But I still hope you feel the same as I, that I can be more than a friend and brother, but I will be just that if you want me to…
But I have at last to try, or I will always ask me what if…
And if you don’t feel the same I hope you can at last forgive me…"
Yami didn’t said anymore, and Yugi reached for his blindfold to finally look at his dark.
"I better show you, Yugi, my little light, my sweet Aibou. I love you…"
Just as the piece of silk feel lightly down on his lap, he saw Yamis face leaning in, and soft lips pressed on his own, before he also closed his eyes again.
After what seems to be forever, he felt Yami pull back, but before he could say something, he reached for his darkness hands to also squeeze them gently.
"Yami, there is nothing to forgive because I feel the same. I was about to tell you the same today, and when we come home, there is a box of self-made chocolate waiting for you on your pillow."
"Oh, so that’s was the mess you made earlier this week! And here I thought you just tried to burn the whole house down!"
"Yami! You where not at home! I made sure of that, so how…" pouted Yugi, and Yami pressed their foreheads together, one hand around the shorter ones neck.
"Well, my dear, there was the burnt smell, not to mention the brown mass on the ceiling and all over the walls…."
"Damn it! It was supposed to be a surprise…"
"Than I will just have to act surprised later, Aibou."
Both smiled at each other, before Yugi reached up to take Yamis cheeks with both hands to guide him down for another sweet kiss.
Yami smiled against Yugis lips before he opened his mouth a little to trace his tongue gently over his lips and ask for entrance. After a little moment it was granted, and Yami stroked with one hands through black hair as he tasted his light for the first time genuinely.
After a little struggle Yugi finally sat comfortable on Yamis lap with his feet around the others waist and snuggled with a happy purr in his arms. Their mouth danced and spoke to each other without words, and if it weren't for the cold air, they would let their hands roam over skin, not clothes.
For them it felt as if the time came to a halt, they couldn’t hear anything beside their own, loud heartbeats and they couldn’t feel anything beside the warm body against their own…
And they didn’t even want to hear and feel anything beside that.
Nothing else was important.
As they parted again, after what seems to be an eternity, or a moment, or both, Yugi finally took the time to look where they where and he chuckled softly with his head against Yamis chest.
"Yami…I love you, my pharaoh." he couldn’t really say anything, everything just looked so perfect and romantic under the clear night sky with all its stars.
Yami had taken him out to the park, and now they where in the middle of the lake. The wooden boat they where sitting in was filled to the brink with beautiful, blooming red roses. It made the Hikari feel as if he was sitting in a sea for flowers, and they smelled so very nice. He picked one of them up and noticed that it had no thorns.
The full moon was mirrored by the calm water, and they where all alone in the park. The sky was like a black sea with thousands little diamonds scattered over the velvety plane.
"Thank you. This is really beautiful, it looks so perfect, Yami."
"Yes, I know."
He looked up at his Dark with a smile, just to notice that Yami wasn’t looking at the surroundings, but ratter at the Angel still sitting on his lap.
He leant down to claim another gentle kiss, and they let their hands roam over the other, lost in the moment and each other.
END
And so I changed the course and put the Anzu-bashing in, since humor and romantic is more my combination of genres! (Damn!)
Oh well, but I hope you like it anyway!
3. The evil witch
Yugi woke up on this nice and peaceful morning to the loud ringing of an annoying telephone outside of his room in the hall. Thinking about who would call this early in the morning, he heard heavy steps and his pharaohs angry muttering: "Dear gods please don’t let it be the witch again. I would rather deal with Pegasus again, then with her."
He could feel Yamis irritation over the link as he checked the caller ID, followed by another growl.
Then the ringing stopped all of a sudden, and Yugi could hear his grandpa scowl:"Yami?!"
"Ähm…yes?"
'Interesting, Yami sounds a little nervous and guilty, wonder what he did.'
"What did I tell you?"
"Not to sent things in the shadow realm?"
"And what did you do?"
"Sent the telephone in the shadow realm?"
"Right!"
"But it was Anzu calling again! I don’t want to listen to her this early in the morning! I will feel sick the whole day! Grandpa! You can't make me! You are not cruel?!"
Now Yami sounded a little distressed, until the older man (well, at last older by appearance) chuckled.
"It's all right, boy. Just remember, we need that thing, so bring it back tomorrow."
Yami let out a sigh of relief and Yugi could hear him walk away again, now a little more happy then before.
It seems that sending things to the shadow realm is some kind of stress and anger management for every Yami…
With those thoughts, the boy sat up in his bed. It was time to get up and get dressed soon, and he couldn’t sleep any longer anyway. And he could hear Yami growling and swearing in the other room about evil witches who can't get a hint, and how he would have put them in boiling oil as he was pharaoh, and he was allowed to kill everyone who was in his way. And everyone who insulted him with their presence as well.
In the meantime, Anzu was sitting alone in her room with its pink walls and the ugly pink carpet. Posters and photos of Yami where everywhere. Even the ceiling was full of them, all with red hearths around Yamis head. And all of them where snapshots, taken without permission as the Yami was out with his friends.
The girl was up for a long time by now, since today was a very important day for her.
Valentines Day.
And she had made sure that Yami really understood what kind of day this is, how important it is, since none of the spirits had known about it until she came along.
She had him and the others told what they are supposed to do, what to say…
Now she just has go to school, look as great and beautiful as she could, and wait for Yami to come and get her. Of course she would have to make sure that none of the other sluts in school could get in her way and try to pester or distract him, but that was not a big problem.
She would just wait by the school gates to get him first, then pull him away from that clinking shrimp Yugi, and let him ask her out for a date.
Of course she will need a place with no one around for that, because Yami was such a sweet and shy guy, he would never say anything with his friends around. When his Hikari was around, he would always ignore her!
Well, that would change after today!
She grinned at her image in the mirror and tried again to call the former pharaoh. She couldn’t understand why he always called her names and then hung up at her the first five times, and now he didn’t even picked it up any longer! She tried it now for the at last twentieth time, but he still refused to talk to her!
Then she giggled stupidly.
Yami must be too shy to talk to her!
Anzu blinked at her phone, it seems to be death or something, and she couldn't get a connection!
(Yami had by now sent it to the shadows!)
She threw her phone out of the window with an angry snarl: "You stupid thing, you just want to keep me away from my lover! But he will come and get me anyway! And then he will kill you for your crimes!"
"Anzu, stop your yelling that early, some people are trying to sleep!" called her mother, and she could hear her father whisper: "I really don’t know from what part of our families that insanity comes. Do you have any relatives in a nuthouse, or something I don’t know about? You didn’t drink or do drugs as you where pregnant with her, right?"
"Not that I know. And I would never even touch drugs! But there is always the possibility that someone in the hospital switched her shortly after birth…"
(Even her parents think she's insane…^____^ )
Yugi was a little nervous, as he looked at the white box of self-made chocolate, hidden in his book bag. All he had to decide now was the time when he will give it to his Yami, after he nearly burnt the kitchen down trying to get it perfect. He still couldn’t understand how that damn curtains could catch fire, he wasn’t even near them!
Yugi shrugged his shoulders, it doesn’t matter anymore. At the end he got it right, and it looked good, tasted good also, so who cared about the total mess he made in the kitchen…
Maybe he should give it now, so he could get it over with, and he had not to wonder anymore?
But before he could move, Yami stormed in his room, grabbed his arm and dragged him downstairs in a hurry:"You are going to be late, Aibou. What where you doing, sitting on your bed and starring in the air?"
Yugi blinked up at his darker half and blushed as he got lost in sparkling red eyes.
"Yugi? Come on, today's a big day."
'At last I hope it is.' Yami thought to himself as he watched Yugi grabbing some breakfast, making Yami chuckle at his squeak of panic after seeing the clock.
'Anzu was talking about it for weeks.' Yami cringed at the memory of that clinging nightmare, whenever she was near him she would talk about how much this day is for confessing love and going on dates…
'Maybe she did something right for once, at last I hope I do the right thing…'
He didn’t even notice Yugi dashing out the door, calling back a quick 'Good-bye' as he was a little lost in his hopes and plans for later, after school. There where still some things to do, to prepare, and hopefully it will all go according to plan.
'Last thing I need is for Bakura and Marik to ruin this day for us, they always want to fight just in the worst moments… But then again, the way they are always watching their own lights… I would say, they are busy enough with their own plans. Good for me. And more for me to tease them with…'
"Their poor Hikaris…" Yami didn’t even notice that he said that out loud until Salomon asked:
"What about the Hikaris? Anything I should know? Is someone out to kill them, or to take over the world"
"What? Oh, no, just Bakura and Marik properly giving them gifts. And with their twisted minds…" he chuckled at the thought.
The old man joint in, also seeing the humor, especially with Marik and his bloodlust.
"Aibou, could you…" he turned around to see Yugi already gone.
"He left a while ago. You where so lost in your dreaming, you didn’t notice him running off. But you know where his school is, and if something happen he will call you."
And with that he stood up to go and open the game shop, leaving Yami alone on the table.
Yugi meanwhile joined a worried Ryou and an annoyed Malik on his way to school.
"Are you all right, Ryou? You look a little troubled."
"Yes, I think I'm alright, I just have that weird feeling that something is going to happen. Bakura is alone at home, and he wouldn’t tell me why. You are so lucky, Malik, Marik can stay with your sister all day, so he can't cause too much trouble."
"You think? Try waking up in the morning with a decorated, bloody head on your nightstand."
Both of the other teens paled at the thought, but Malik merely shook his head:
"It's not that bad, you know, but I think Ishizu will go crazy if he keeps that up. Just imagine that, yesterday I had to remove him with the broom from under my bed!
And I always need to check in my closets and all, before I can change clothes or go under the shower."
"Well, I think he loves you. Somehow… And this is his…own special way in showing it…" said Yugi a little hesitant, but Malik shook his head.
"Na… he properly just has some fun and wants to share it… You know, like a kid finding a new game and showing it off…"
"You sound disappointed!" voiced Ryou before he clamped a pale hand over his mouth, blushing slightly red.
Malik turned with a smile around to him: "And what about you, dear Ryou? Why is Bakura at home?"
"He didn’t tell. But I bet he's just plotting a theft, or how he can defeat Yami, or something alike… And what about you, Yugi?! Don’t tell me Yami has not his eyes on you…" he quickly changed the topic.
Yugi also blushed, but answered nonetheless.
"You know he is always quite protective. But I will tell him… just don’t know when, and what to say…" he mumbled, but even so the others heard him and giggled.
"Awww… Don’t worry, everything will be fine…"
"Yes, I know… I don’t worry. Not really…"
They had a little encounter with Anzu at the gates as they get there, and she a thick cloud of cheap perfume surrounded her that made it very hard to breathe when she was near. A girl even fainted as the witch stood beside her for a moment. She demanded to know where Yami was, and Yugi send a picture of her to his Yami over the mind link, along with a mischievous grin.
Yami sent him a smile back and a picture from himself, hiding under a bed with his hands over his head.
As Anzu saw him smile instead of paying attention to her, she got angry and grabbed his collar to sake him a little.
But to his luck Ryou got quickly rid of her with a little trick, so they could finally go inside without Anzu screeching about Yami and how much he loves her.
"Yeah, sure, and that’s why Yami sent the telephone to the shadow realm, just so she can't call him anymore!" told Yugi the others merrily, making his fellow Hikaris giggling and chuckling as well at her stupidly.
"You should tell her that, I bet she will be excided to hear how much he appreciates her calls…"
Chuckling they watched Anzu falling over her own feet with that high heels of her, and she landed flat on her face. She was just lucky that the ground was dry, or she would look terrible. More terrible then she already does.
"Come, Malik, let her alone; it is a bad day for her. She just doesn't know it yet…" said Yugi, as he saw Malik looking towards the garden hose lying innocently around. It was not very hard to guess what the blond Hikari was thinking about, and the other two shoved him quickly inside. No need to get in trouble today just because Malik wanted to play a little prank on her.
(I bet he will love the 1. April…)
"Or do you think your sister would appreciate it when you get detention? She would be even longer alone with your Yami!"
And that finally held him back from torturing her a little more, and he left her alone with a pout.
The whole school was decorated for this day, girls where giving cards and chocolates and skipping around the school to fill lockers with fluffy stuff. One of the girls gave them small chocolates even before they where properly inside, telling them they where cute, just to skip away happily.
After getting rid of their blushes; Yugi, Ryou and Malik opened their lockers and blinked at the lots of colorful cards dropping out of them, along with some little chocolate-boxes.
They just blinked at them as Anzu, who's locker was also near, glared at them for making her believe that Yami was waiting for her!
She looked slightly tattered from a couple of heavy falls, with dry leafs from last year in her hair:
"Yeah, yeah, it seems that a lot of peoples here think you three are cute and adorable, especially when together! I don’t know why, and I don’t care either about all those idiots who have no taste.
But listen, and listen well, because I only say it once!
Today is my big day, and I will finally win Yami over! So just stay out of my way, or there will be dire consequences for you!"
Ryou blinked confused at her. 'Why the hell is she here, she should still be outside searching for Yami.' But it seems she had enough brain to see that it was only a trick.
Malik stuck out his tongue at her as she bounced away with her shoes in her hand. He patted Yugis head: "Don’t worry, you know that Yami don’t like her."
Yugi couldn’t hide a smile "I know that. Whenever he notices her anywhere near him, I can feel a huge wave of bloodlust over the link. Sooner or later she will piss him off enough with all her clinging, he will simply mind-crush her."
"I would like to see that." Everyone turned around to Ryou, who just smiled innocently:
"What?! It's true, after all! We all would love to see that happen. That’s the reason we made our bet about when that will be!"
"Sure, but I swear, you spent way too much time with your tomb robber!"
"Bakura isn't my tomb robber!" 'But I sure wouldn’t mind if he was…'
The three Hikaris went to their classes, all of them hoping, for several reasons that the day will pass soon. On their tables where several little plush toys, along with more chocolate, much to Maliks joy. But the others where also happy about the sweets, and couldn’t help but eat some.
Yugi was on the way to his locker in break, to put his books and the chocolate away.
He had ignored the cards he had found on his table telling him how cute he was and all, but was somehow glad that they weren't signed, so he doesn’t have to respond to them. He really hated to hurt peoples, even if he doesn’t know them very well.
He felt somehow flattered by them, true, but he didn’t want to be seen as cute. Cute sounds like something an aunt would say to a little girl in a flowery dress and a bow in her long hair.
'Really not what I want. And beside that, I already have other plans. I wouldn’t mind if they give their cards others, even if the most are just anonym crushes, nothing serious.'
After a lot of struggling and reasoning with himself for the past few weeks, he had decided for himself that he needed to tell Yami how he felt.
This was the best day for it, and even if the other didn’t felt the same, at last he would tell him. Or better, show him.
With the chocolate he had made especially for Yami…
And he trusted Yami not to laugh at him, or make fun, right?
'Right. Even if he doesn't feel the same, he wouldn’t hurt me too much. And it is easier to know now then to always wonder.'
Besides, he was somewhat certain that Yami felt the same, by the way that ruby eyes followed him always, and that feelings sometimes coming through the link…
Lost in his own thoughts he suddenly saw a familiar star-shaped mass of black hair.
His hearth skipped a beat as he saw his Yami, with a bunch of giggling girls surrounding him standing not far away. The former pharaoh was smiling as he looked around, seemingly searching for someone special.
In his hand he had a pink heart shaped box with a big red bow, and he gave it to a girl with long, blonde hair, who smiled brightly up at him.
For a moment Yugi didn’t know what to make out of the scene, all he could do was watch with wide eyes, as his Yami gave the girl some card and a stuffed bear as well. And the girl looked at him as if she was about to hug and kiss him in her happiness, while several other girls where not so delighted by that and shoot the blonde girl livid glares of jealousy.
(Well, and that was already all the angst I could think of…^_^' I really can't do anything dramatic…)
But after a moment the little Hikari smiled again as he saw what Yami was really doing there: People kept shoving their cards and chocolates in his hands, and he just passed them on to the nearest person he found, without looking at it or even thinking about it. He clearly showed that he didn’t want them at all, but they didn’t seem to get the hint.
He even looked a little irritated at all the unwanted gifts he never asked for. He just wanted to talk to his Aibou before he made arrangements for later this day.
Ruby-red eyes widen in relief as he finally spotted Yugi in the mass of students, and he nearly run to his smaller Hikari.
"Aibou! I'm so glad I found you." He blinked as a giggling girl gave him another heard-shaped box, looking at him with a blush and hope in her eyes.
With a shrug he shoved it some random passing boy in the arms, who blushed brightly as he also looked up at Yami.
Yami ignored both of them and took Yugis hand, giving it a light squeeze:
"Yugi, when you come home after school, and you're still alive, please wait in the living room for me, and we can spend the afternoon together. I need to talk to you, and I want to show you something, a surprise?!"
"Okay, Yami, I would love to."
Yugi nodded with a smile, happy that Yami wanted to spent time with him, not someone else, and he would make sure not to waste this chance.
Yami smile back at his sweet light and took of, jumping out of the window of the first floor just to get away from this crazy school and the even crazier students.
'And one of them especially, I hope I don’t see her!"
But there was one thing Yami was worried about:
He had seen Yugis locker for a few moments, since he tried to wait there for his light, and he just hoped Yugi wouldn’t eat all that sweets, or he could get sick. And who knows what twisted mind had made them in the first place!
Someone could poison it, or put sleeping pills in it to kidnap his light and hurt him or take advance of him! Yugi could get a sore tummy, or it could contain a curse that did weird things to him. Someone could even try to sell them to some random pervert; Yugi is cute and adorable after all!
The longer he thought about it, the more possibilities came to his mind, and he panicked a little until he shouted:
//Aibou, don’t eat any of that chocolate people give you!!! Please, I beg you, do me that favor! Your grandpa always says that you shouldn’t accept sweets from strangers! You don’t know who gave them to you!!!!//
Yami heard Yugis soft laughter in his mind, as well as his promise, and calmed down.
But before he could make it safely away, he heard something terrible. Something he really didn’t want to hear, not now and not anytime.
It made his blood run cold, in a way not even Pegasus, Bakura and Marik where able to.
"Yami!!!!!!! Yami, dear, wait for me!"
Yami never wanted to run away and hide so much as at this very moment. But Anzu caught him before he even could start to run.
The girl grabbed his arm and grinned up at him:
"Yami, I bet you where looking for me all the time, right? Here, I made this chocolate personally, all by myself, and just for you! Are we going out today? Or do you want to watch a movie at my place? My parents are away for a few days, so we can be all alone, and no one would disturb us, no matter what we are doing."
She made a short break to breath and smiled in a way she thought was seductive.
'Think, Yami. There must be a way to get away. I have things to plan, supplies to fetch, a Hikari to win…' He looked down at her 'A witch to destroy…'
"Or we can go to the mall and go shopping, and we can watch the sunset afterwards. You could carry me home after we look at the stars at the beach, and then you can spent the night with me, and every other night after that, too, if you want.
And tomorrow we let anyone know that we are together, and that you are mine, and then you can always pick me up after school or meet me in the breaks and we eat together, just you and me. I cook every day for you, way better then the shri- I mean Yugi. After all, I'm a girl, no way can a boy better cook them me!
(Yeah, right… we all believe that!)
Everyone will be jealous because we are so, so happy, like in a fairytale. And they will put photos in papers and journalists will put us in the news because we are such a perfect couple that anyone should know about it! We are simply meant for each other, a match made in heaven, we will love each other forever, and have a lot of children… "
Yami turned from pale to green at those suggestions, not to mention that by now it was hard to think for him, since her perfume made it very hard to breathe. And it will surly kill some brain cells if he didn’t get away from her quickly!
Yami tried to move to the gate, but she was clinging too tightly to his arm, and so he had to drag her along since she refused to let go of him.
"ANZU!"
"Yes, my dear, sweet, sexy Yami-chan?"
"Get lost!"
"You mean, 'come with me', right? Skip school and go out with me!"
"No, I mean, get lost, go away, fuck up, drop dead! Let me alone!"
"And you will pick me up later? After school?"
"Don’t you get it? I don’t want to see you, hear you, and much less I want to touch you. And I don’t want you to touch me!"
"But Yami…"
"No buts, you little witch, you let me the fuck ALONE!"
Anzu starred at the angry pharaoh with big eyes.
And squealed.
She jumped up and down and nearly hugged him: "You make a surprise? For ME?! That so sooo great! And sweet! I love you so, so much!"
"And I want to kill you so, so much." murmured Yami, but the stupid girl simply didn’t get it! She looked up at him with big eyes and pouted at his stubbornness, and then she tried it with terrible blackmail:
"If you don’t go out with me I follow you around the whole day to find out about that surprise. I really want to spend the day with you, and you know you want it, too. You are just too shy to ask me, even when you know that I would go with you anytime!"
'Oh dear Ra in heaven, please spare me that torture or kill me instantly!!!'
But than he had a better idea, and with a smile he turned around to the girl, who thought she had finally won.
It was very hard for him to say the next thing without gagging, but he was a pharaoh! He couldn’t just throw up in public. It would make him look bad.
"Anzu, on second thought, I would like to go out with you."
He had to cover his ears for a moment at her squeal of delight, and he was very glad that no one was around to witness that ugly scene.
Time to shut her up.
"But! You are not allowed to tell anyone about it!"
Anzu was about to protest, but Yami gave her a firm look:
"I will meet you after school, not sooner and not later, right afterwards! Get it?
But if you tell even one single soul about it, it will be a proof that I can't trust you the slightest bit. And if I can't trust you, I can't have you anywhere near me. You understand? Tell someone, and you will never see me again in your life!"
'Last thing I need is that someone finds out about that!'
Anzu nodded reluctantly. It would be hard not to shoot out the good news, but it was a test, and she wouldn’t fail it.
If silence can win her a date with the sexy Yami, she would be as silence as a grave!
There was always tomorrow to tell everyone about it, with all the great details!
With a big grin she let go of the disgusted spirit and run back to her class, while Yami went also his way with a shudder and a felling as if he had just signed his own death warrant.
The box for chocolate he simply throws away with a disgusted snore. No way in hell he would eat that poisoned crap!
He had to run some errands for later, and now he had to plot something for that stupid witch as well!
But that couldn’t stop him from teasing Bakura about how he doesn’t know where to find a pet for his little Hikari. Who would have thought that Bakura would give him a bunny as a present, and not some stolen jewels or something. It looks like even Bakura had a little bit of romantic somewhere in that dark hole he called his hearth…
And he could swear he saw Mariks crazy hair as he came out of the fifth flower-shop with his arms full of red roses. He needs as many as he could get and put them away for tonight.
But for the moment they stood in several buckets with water and hidden them safely away until they where needed.
Finally everything was perfectly planned and ready, and all he had to do now was waiting for Yugi to come home so they could spent some time together until it was time for his surprise.
And he had even time for Anzu, even if he doesn’t really look forward to meet her.
Anzu was grinning the whole time in school, and scared a lot of people away from her, but surprisingly she refused to tell anyone the reason.
Finally Joey couldn’t stand that creepy look of hers any longer and he had to go over and ask:
"Okay, now spill! What's the matter with you? Yami wasn’t here all day, and here you are smirking as if you won the jackpot! You are scaring the people, and if you don’t stop that, I'm will go and call the nurse. That isn't normal, and we both know it!"
Anzu just smiled her 'I-know-something-you-doesn’t-know' smile and skipped away.
Malik shuddered.
"What do you think? Delusions or just mere wishfulness? It has something to do with Yami, that much is clear…"
Yugi just shrugged his shoulder: "Yami was here in our first break, he told me to come home straight after school. He wants us to spend the day together. So she can't have any real reason to smile."
"Yeah, she is crazy. So what? That’s nothing new!"
"Yes, and you know what you are talking about, right, Malik?"
Suddenly a boy steps up behind Yugi and tipped on his shoulder: "Its done." he simply said and walked away. Yugi nodded and whispered a quite "Thank you".
His friends just gave him puzzled looks, asking what that was about, but he grabbed the other two Hikaris and dragged them away: "I bet you two will like that, as bloodthirsty and mean as you are."
"I'm NOT bloodthirsty and mean!" protested Ryou, and Malik giggled: "Yeah, right, that’s way you said you would like to see Yami mind-crush Anzu!"
"That has nothing to do with bloodthirsty and such! Everyone who knows her would think so! And that’s beside the point anyway. So what did you do to her, Yugi?" his white skin did nothing to hide his blush, even as Ryou tried to change the topic quickly.
Yugi dragged them away to the lockers with a smirk: "Well, you see, I ask a few peoples to help me with a little problem in my first class, and they in turn asked also a few peoples…"
"But Yugi, we are your friends! Why didn’t came you to US with your problem?! You know…"
"I know Joey, but it is nothing serious! And you could say that it is a little surprise…"
He stopped his friends near Anzus locker, and they looked in shock.
The locker was nearly bursting, so many notes and letters where inside, and someone had nailed a bag on the opening to place all the paper in.
"It's impossible for her to have THAT many admirers! The people here are not insane enough for that!" muttered Malik in shook, and Yugi giggled cutely.
"Well, those are not exactly love letters. In the first class, she came in and annoyed everyone with her ranting about how Yami will write her many love letters. And I said to that boy beside me, we should write her one, but about the things we hate about her, you know. Sort of a 'hate letter'. And he told his girlfriend, and she told her friends, and, well, that’s the result…"
Anzus stupid grin vanished as she looked through the letters, and they all said how stupid she looked in that dress, how bad her makeup was, and how annoying the rants about friendship where…
The evil witch had a very hard time not to spill her secret, but somehow she made it through the day.
(And I know you where probably waiting for her to fail, so Yami could get away, but he has better plans! And beside, it would be too easy that way…)
After school she skipped happily to the meeting point in a distant park. She looked right and left to make sure no one was following her. As if someone would actually care what she was doing! Everyone had other, more important things to do.
Like going on dates, visiting relatives or getting a root treatment.
The poor spirit shuddered as she run up to Yami and tried to hug him. But luckily he could step away and watch her fall flat on her face.
"Okay, wit.. I mean, bit… No, I mean ANZU!"
(He wants to say bitch and witch, but cut himself short! ^___^)
"Hello, my dear Yami, I hope I'm not to late for our date!"
'That’s not a date! That's hell!' screamed everything in Yami, but he made a straight face as he turned around. He didn’t look if she was following him.
Sadly she did.
So Yami took her to the airport, all the while ignoring her ranting and squealing.
'Just a little bit longer. Don’t worry, Yami, soon this nightmare is over, and then you have the rest of the day all to yourself. It is worth it! The whole evening with Yugi! Don’t forget, if you get rid of her now, she can't get in your way later! '
"Oh, Yami, you want to fly away with me? That is so great, I wish I could have told someone."
"Yeah, I bet."
"And where are we going?"
"Hawaii."
"Hawaii! Oh, that’s sooo romantic! The sunsets on the beach, swimming in the late night, just you and me alone… But I don’t have any clothes with me! We need to go shopping as soon as we get there; I need at last a bikini. Or do you think I shouldn’t wear one? Oh, thank you, thank you so, so much, Yami!!!!"
Yami just gave a heavy sigh and put a big suitcase down.
'Just a little bit. After you done here, you can throw up!' he promised himself and tried to get rid of the picture of Anzu in, or worse, without bikini…
'Hell, even Marik would say that’s a very cruel and heartless torture!'
He looked at Anzu while tapping his foot: "I want you to get in there and not coming out until I tell you to."
Yami waited with anticipation if she really was THAT stupid. It is impossible for a human being to be THAT stupid!
"But why should I do this? Yami?"
'Whoa, looks like it can think, after all! What now?'
"I want to see if you are really as flexible as you claims to be with your dancing, but I guess you are not flexible enough… Or is it that you don’t trust me?"
'If you have a bit of brain you don’t trust me and run away.'
"But of course I trust you, my dear Yami! You would never do something to hurt me, I know that! You love me more than anything!"
'Yeah, right. Move your fat ass, stupid witch!'
And so Anzu got in the suitcase, Yami locked it a little security lock, and tricked the guard into letting him pass with his living luggage. No one asked questions and no one looked inside. Everything went according to plan, much to his relief, as he heard a calling over the link he shared with Yugi.
/Yami, are you all right? I'm at home, but I can't find you…/
//Yes, sorry, Aibou! I was a little held back by something, please wait a bit. I just had to get rid of that witch Anzu, since she wouldn’t go away freely.//
/So that’s why she was grinning the whole day! What did you do to her?/
Yami smiled as he heard that Yugi wasn’t angry with him.
He put the suitcase on the assembly line and left the airport without looking back. Just as he was going out of the main entrance, he stopped for a moment.
//Well, I send her on a trip to Hawaii//
/Hawaii? Why…/
//Hawaii is that white and empty land at the North Pole, right?//
/Not really. Hawaii is warm and sunny, why?/ asked Yugi, now curios, while Yami made his way home.
//Then I think it might be a little cold with that kind of clothes… seems that I made a mistake with the address..//
Smiling he went home, both of them chuckling about Anzus stupidly. Really, who in his right mind would freely get into a suitcase!
Yugi was already waiting for him and Yami couldn’t help but smile at the boy, as he found him sitting in the living room, munching on some cookies grandpa had made for them.
"Hey, Aibou, sorry that I made you waiting. But the witch caught me, and I had to do something about her. Otherwise she would have ruined our whole day!"
"Hi, Yami! No, it's all right. We where wondering the whole day about what's the matter with her. And she really was that stupid to get in a suitcase?"
"Yes, I swear, I didn’t force her!"
The sat down on the couch, and Yami stole a few cookies from the plate.
"Aibou, would you go out with me later, even if I don’t tell you where we go? I want it to be a surprise."
"You wouldn’t put me in a suitcase, would you?" he teased Yami, who in turn messed with his hair.
"Never, Yugi. That’s only for evil witches who can't take a No for an answer."
"Then I follow you, where every you take me."
"Thank you, Aibou. You wouldn’t regret it."
They watched TV for several hours, cuddled together on the couch, until Yami looked up at clock.
"It is time, Aibou. Would you put this on?" and he gave his Hikari a silken, amethyst-colored blindfold the former pharaoh had prepared in his pocket.
"And don’t try to cheat and spy or I have to punish you, Aibou!" he teased him a little with a smile, and Yugi didn’t hesitate a second to put the dark violet cloth securely over his eyes.
"I could go to my soul-room and wait there until you tell me to come out, if you want."
"No, if you don’t mind, I would like to take a little walk. Not for long, but..""Its okay, Yami." cut Yugi in. He was curios what his other had planned for them, and he fumbled blindly around to take Yamis hand. Yami sent a comforting smile through the link and took the small hand.
"Come on, let's go, Aibou."
Yugi followed his pharaoh outside.
The evening breeze washed lightly over his face, fresh and a little cool, and it smelt from moist earth. Yamis hand in his own was warm and reassuring, and he could feel the others body heat as he walked slowly beside him.
Yami guided him outside and wrapped his left arm around his waist, while he took his right hand in his own right one.
Cars passed by, and Yami made with a strong grip sure he didn’t accidentally run over the street or in other peoples. And so they made their way without bumping into anything, even if Yugi couldn’t see.
He couldn’t tell where they where going, but he felt save in Yamis arms even without sight. Suddenly the sounds around them changed, there where leafless trees rustling in the wind, which seems to be a little colder and smelled of water now.
He could also hear birds singing their songs, and suddenly there was water. The light couldn’t say if there where other peoples around, he couldn’t hear anyone's steps beside his own and Yamis.
Little stones where crunching under their shoes, and suddenly Yami made them stop and squeezed his hand lightly.
"Yugi? Wait here for a moment, I have to fetch something. I have you in my sight all the time, and I'm back in a short moment, so don’t worry. Nothing bad can happen to you…"
"All right."
Yugi could hear the waves clashing on the shore, and Yamis steps walking away, but not too far. Something was scratching over the ground, but the short Hikari couldn’t say what was making those sounds. Something moved in the water, and Yugi nearly jumped as something touched his hand gently.
"Yugi? Come, but let the blindfold on. Just for a little longer." Those words, spoken softly in his ear, made him shiver a little, and he nodded.
Again, Yami took the pale hand before he scoped him up in his arms, and Yugi laid his cheek against the warm, strong chest. He inhaled the familiar scent before he was sat down on a wooden bench.
"Yami?" whispered the Hikari as he heard water all around them, and whatever it was, it moved and swayed under them. Something was around Yugis feet, but he really couldn’t tell what it was. Yugi guessed that they where in a boat, but he couldn’t be sure until Yami let him have a look.
The former pharaoh suddenly took Yugis hands in his.
"I'm very glad that you came here with me today, without asking the questions I know you must have, Aibou. I'm very proud that you trust me so much that you even let me blindfold you for a walk trough the park.
I have to tell you something important, and I'm not really sure how to do this, since it is noting you learn in school, and I never did it before, it wasn’t necessary until now, until I meet you.
And Yugi, I can understand if you don’t feel the same way, if you prefer a cute girl on your side or something. But I still hope you feel the same as I, that I can be more than a friend and brother, but I will be just that if you want me to…
But I have at last to try, or I will always ask me what if…
And if you don’t feel the same I hope you can at last forgive me…"
Yami didn’t said anymore, and Yugi reached for his blindfold to finally look at his dark.
"I better show you, Yugi, my little light, my sweet Aibou. I love you…"
Just as the piece of silk feel lightly down on his lap, he saw Yamis face leaning in, and soft lips pressed on his own, before he also closed his eyes again.
After what seems to be forever, he felt Yami pull back, but before he could say something, he reached for his darkness hands to also squeeze them gently.
"Yami, there is nothing to forgive because I feel the same. I was about to tell you the same today, and when we come home, there is a box of self-made chocolate waiting for you on your pillow."
"Oh, so that’s was the mess you made earlier this week! And here I thought you just tried to burn the whole house down!"
"Yami! You where not at home! I made sure of that, so how…" pouted Yugi, and Yami pressed their foreheads together, one hand around the shorter ones neck.
"Well, my dear, there was the burnt smell, not to mention the brown mass on the ceiling and all over the walls…."
"Damn it! It was supposed to be a surprise…"
"Than I will just have to act surprised later, Aibou."
Both smiled at each other, before Yugi reached up to take Yamis cheeks with both hands to guide him down for another sweet kiss.
Yami smiled against Yugis lips before he opened his mouth a little to trace his tongue gently over his lips and ask for entrance. After a little moment it was granted, and Yami stroked with one hands through black hair as he tasted his light for the first time genuinely.
After a little struggle Yugi finally sat comfortable on Yamis lap with his feet around the others waist and snuggled with a happy purr in his arms. Their mouth danced and spoke to each other without words, and if it weren't for the cold air, they would let their hands roam over skin, not clothes.
For them it felt as if the time came to a halt, they couldn’t hear anything beside their own, loud heartbeats and they couldn’t feel anything beside the warm body against their own…
And they didn’t even want to hear and feel anything beside that.
Nothing else was important.
As they parted again, after what seems to be an eternity, or a moment, or both, Yugi finally took the time to look where they where and he chuckled softly with his head against Yamis chest.
"Yami…I love you, my pharaoh." he couldn’t really say anything, everything just looked so perfect and romantic under the clear night sky with all its stars.
Yami had taken him out to the park, and now they where in the middle of the lake. The wooden boat they where sitting in was filled to the brink with beautiful, blooming red roses. It made the Hikari feel as if he was sitting in a sea for flowers, and they smelled so very nice. He picked one of them up and noticed that it had no thorns.
The full moon was mirrored by the calm water, and they where all alone in the park. The sky was like a black sea with thousands little diamonds scattered over the velvety plane.
"Thank you. This is really beautiful, it looks so perfect, Yami."
"Yes, I know."
He looked up at his Dark with a smile, just to notice that Yami wasn’t looking at the surroundings, but ratter at the Angel still sitting on his lap.
He leant down to claim another gentle kiss, and they let their hands roam over the other, lost in the moment and each other.
