Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Pieces Of Our Puzzle ❯ Heart Break ( Chapter 2 )

Aw, thank you so much for the reviews! It keeps me writing .. Anyway, this chapter is going to have insanity humor in it...about bacon XD! Oh yeah and Grandpa is very evil in this chapter. The story was too sad, I had to add SOME humor to it.

I don't know if Yugi's house has a backyard but it does in my story!

Couples once again: Yami/Tea -kills Tea-, Seto Kaiba/Joey, Serenity/Tristan, Marik/Malik and Bakura/Ryou

--------------------------------------------------------

Yami groaned and pushed himself off Tea who was sleeping under him. Shaking his head, he stood up and reached on the floor to put his pants back on. Glancing over at her, he made sure she was sleeping before he slid out of the room,

`Again. I had sex with her again. What the hell is wrong with me. Ever since I've fallen in love with Yugi, I've been acting like such an idiot.'

Sighing he walked down the hallway and stopped and Yugi's closed door,

`Ever since then, I've tried to hide it from him and everyone but only ended up being a total asshole and making everyone think I'm in love with Tea. I really should just get over this and tell him.'

Leaning against the door, he pressed his ear against it to see if he could hear anything. Nothing.

`He must be asleep.' The Pharaoh sighed and ran a hand through his tri colored hair, `I'll leave him alone.'

Scowling he walked back into his room where Tea was sitting up on his bed, the sheet wrapped around her, smiling warmly. He swallowed the lump in his throat and returned the smile and then looked at the clock,

"It's past 3. Don't you think you need to be getting home?"

She frowned, her blue eyes looking at him with a pleading look, "Do you want to get rid of me, Yami?"

`More then you ever will know.'

"No, it's just that. I don't want you in trouble by your parents. I'll see you in a few hours anyway."

The Pharaoh sighed of relief when she seemed to take that as an answer and reached over to pick her clothes up and began to put them on.

He shook his head and was about to exit the room when her high and sickening voice stopped him in his tracks, "Where are you going?"

"I need a shower. I'm all sweaty from before. You know your way out, right?" He said, smiling, trying to hide the sarcasm in it.

She stood up; half dressed and nodded, "Of course I do. Can you atleast give me a goodbye kiss?"

Defeated, the Pharaoh leaned over and pressed his lips firmly against hers and felt a slight annoyance when she licked at his bottom lip and caused him to open his mouth so she could poke her tongue inside. Sighing in defeat, his own tongue came up against hers and tangled them together.

It seemed like hours to Yami but it was only a few minutes when Tea pulled away and resumed getting dressed, giving him the chance to leave the room.

Stepping into the bathroom, he blinked and could have sworn he saw Yugi's stuff was missing,

"I must be losing it. I could swear this bathroom looks less crowded."

Stripping himself of the rest of his clothing, he turned on the water of the shower. Opening the glass shower doors, he stepped into the streaming water. The coldness of the water that fell down upon his tan skin seemed to calm him down as he closed his eyes and sighed letting his thoughts take over.

`Tomorrow. I'll tell Yugi what's been going on. I can't keep acting like this.'

Pieces of Our Puzzle

Chapter Two: Heart Break

Everlasting Hikari

-----------------------------

Meanwhile on the flight, Yugi had made a friend. A girl by the name of Arianna Ezrythal who was only about a year older than Yugi himself. Sixteen. She too was running away from her past. From what Yugi learned in the past few hours, she was running away because of her stepfather was abusive. Her mother was killed in a car accident while her dad lived in Florida. Yugi guessed she was on her way to see him and probably stay there for the rest of her life.

Arianna was a beautiful girl, no doubt about that. Her figure was small, very petite. Long brown hair with red highlights seemed to fall down her back and curled up on the bottom. On her body were baggy clothes, a sweatshirt hung loosely around her upper body while baggy black jeans were drooping from her lower body. On her neck seemed to be a certain symbol of a cross mixed with a rose and she had three holes in her ears. But what Yugi was enticed by were her eyes. They were large with green and blue with a mix of purple in them. He didn't know how her eyes were like that, nor did he dare to ask.

Yugi had also explained to her while he was running away starting with how Yami and Tea and the others with an exception of Joey and Kaiba had ignored him. Scarlet filled his cheeks when he mentioned Yami and what he felt towards him but Arianna didn't seem to laugh or make any disgusted looks when he mentioned that. She never found anything wrong with it.

Through out the whole flight to Florida, United States of America, the two seemed to have bonded quicker than they thought they would. Arianna was full of life when she put her past behind her and Yugi found her to be quite a joy to have around. When she would tell him stories about how she always wanted to marry a singer when she got older, Yugi would just laugh at her and smile. The red haired beauty also found the young duelist to be intriguing with his many adventures stories. Whenever Yugi spoke about a dueling story or how he beat someone famous in one, Arianna would lean over her chair and listen intently.

They had been so caught up in one conversation after another that they didn't see the polite and smiling flight attendant standing there infront of their seats with a cart full of food and drinks next to her. Freezing in their conversation, the two teenagers turned to her and smiled brightly when she asked them if they wanted anything.

"Turkey on rye please, nothing else." Yugi and Arianna said at the same time.

Both of them stared at each other before bursting out into a fit of giggles and waited for the flight attendant to hand them their sandwiches. When the kind woman handed their snacks to them, she said a polite goodbye before moving down to plane to the other people who needed something.

Holding onto her sandwich and placing it infront of her, Arianna beamed and turned back to Yugi,

"Your favorite? Mine too! What's your favorite drink? Mine would have to be those little sodas that come in the rainbow colored cans."

"Mine too! I always forget the name of it though. We really have a lot in common." Yugi said.

For some reason, he felt his heart lift off of the ground that it had been on in months as he happily chatted with the new girl he had just met less than a few hours ago.

--------------------------------------------------------

"Hey, gramps! Ova here!" Joey yelled when he spotted Solomon Mutou just about to enter the game shop. The old man froze when he saw Joey and Seto Kaiba running towards him as if they were in a hurry.

"Joey, Kaiba. What brings you two over here? Hopefully here to cheer my grandson up?"

Joey's eyes focused on a tree near by and he felt Kaiba place his hand on his shoulder, signaling for the old man to move away from the door of the game shop and pulling him off to the side. The old man gave a questioning look at the two but kept his attention focused on the look in their eyes and waited for them to finally speak.

"Yugi isn't here, Mr. Mutou...." Kaiba's voice was serious but there seemed to be a sudden crack in it.

Solomon's eyes widened and his heart fell when he heard those certain words escape from the billionaire's mouth,

"WHAT!? WHERE IS HE!? OH GOD, PLEASE TELL ME HE'S ALRIGHT! DID HE-" The blond took the opportunity to walk over and place his arms on the old man's shoulders as if to calm him down,

"Gramps! Relax, Relax! Yug is fine. But come away frum da game shop so we can tell ya. We don't want Yami ta hear us. Yug kinda wanted no one ta kno about it so let's go ta Kaiba's, alright?"

Relief filled the old man's eyes, "You mean he's alive??"

Joey felt a sweatdrop forming on the side of his head at that, "Of course he's alive! He's jus not in dis country anymore but cmon! Yami will be waking up soon and he can't hear any of dis."

The old man nodded and followed Kaiba and Joey into the black limo that wasn't parked too far away from the game shop.

When they were in the limo, Kaiba sat across from both Joey and Yugi's grandfather and leaned back into the leather seat while closing his tired eyes. Joey kept his eyes on Mr. Mutou who seemed to be anxious to hear what was going on or where the hell his grandson was.

The limo had starting to move and trail its normal paths towards the Kaiba mansion, it was then when Kaiba started to speak. Words escaped his mouth but his eyes remained closed and he stayed in his position,

"Yugi is gone. He's in America now. He ran away last night and came to my place to tell me. He said he couldn't take the ignoring or the fighting between Yami and him or Tea and Yami's relationship. He made sure I was to find you and tell you he was alright and I knew where he was. However, he doesn't want anyone else but Joey, you and myself knowing where he is." Kaiba spoke in a calm voice.

Rubbing his temples with his wrinkled and short fingers, the old man fell back into the leather seat and shut his eyes tightly. Kaiba's midnight blue eyes finally opened and watched the old man with an expression not even he could figure out.

"Yugi is in America.....He can't do that! He can't even get out of school without getting beat up!" Solomon yelled, his eyes opening up once again.

"Gramps," Joey started and placed a hand on his shoulder, "Yug will be fine. I kno it but please, we gotta keep dis a secret. He said he'd call when he arrived at a place ta stay."

Taking in several breaths to try to calm himself down, Solomon nodded weakly and placed his head in his hands, "I can't believe this is happening. What do I do then? Go home and pretend I don't know what's going on?"

"Exactly."

------------------------------

Tea Gardner stood outside of the game shop and had been standing there for over 20 minutes. Brushing at a wrinkle in her pink skirt, she heaved a heavy sigh. She had already tried calling the house to make sure Yami was awake but she received no answer. After trying over about four times, she huffed and gave up and walked out the door and down the street to the game shop. She knocked and waited for a reply but never received one. Huffing, she grew impatient and knocked twice as hard and waited again. Nothing. Now she was getting agitated.

"Yami! Why aren't you opening the door?? It's me!" Her whiny voice was enough to wake almost everyone in the neighborhood.

A black limo pulled up by her and the doors opened to let Solomon Mutou out. Tea gave a friendly wave but Solomon found himself not even paying attention. Again she grew angry. What was she, invisible? Resisting the urge to scream, she walked over to the old man with a smile on her face.

"Hello there, Mr. Mutou. How was your trip? Can you please wake Yami for me? We're supposed to go out to lunch." She said with a wide smile.

Placing a key in the lock of the game shop door and then jiggling the doorknob, it swung open and the old man resisted the urge to roll his eyes as the words that Kaiba spoke before came back into his mind and instead he just smiled,

"Tea. It's only 8 in the morning. Yami is probably exhausted. Why don't you try back in an hour or so?"

"But he was supposed-"

"Bye my dear. I'll tell him to call you." Solomon finished and slammed the door to the game shop before locking it.

Sighing of relief he walked up the steps that connected the shop to the little house and opened the door,

"My god, that girl can drive one crazy. I can't believe this is happening....My grandson. Yugi....I hope you'll be alright."

Walking into the kitchen, he flipped on the light switch and let the room light up. Opening the fridge, he pulled out the carton of eggs along with some bacon. With those out, he began to cook breakfast and waited for the older boy to wake.

-----------------------------------

Crimson eyes blinked open and then shut for a few more minutes before reopening fully. The Pharaoh yawned and sat up, stretching his body as if to knock all the pains and bumps out of it. Sitting up gently in his bed, he leaned on the headboard for support as he found himself very shakily trying to stand up.

"Ra. I didn't get much sleep last night at all. No point in even trying now."

Sniffing the air, he caught the familiar scent of eggs and bacon signaling that Solomon was home. Finally he was able to stand up fully and reached for a pair of pants near by and slipped them on. He cringed as the leather stuck to him and didn't seem to budge. Shrugging, he reached over and placed a black tanktop over his head.

Looking at himself in the mirror, he ran a comb lightly through his hair and sighed when he felt his insides turn again,

"Why am I so nervous? Oh, that's right! I wanted to tell Yugi what's been going on lately....That's why....I hope he'll forgive me for acting like such an asshole."

Frowning, he opened the door to his room and walked down the hallway to the youth's door which seemed to be closed. Tapping on the door infront of him, he waited for an answer. He got none.

"Yugi? It's me. I really need to talk to you..." The ancient spirit whispered.

No response came.

"Yugi, are you awake?" He asked and found himself opening the door to his room.

Stepping inside, he saw a lot of his hikari's stuff missing and an empty bed,

"Hikari?? Where are you?? Aibou??" The yami suddenly found himself growing nervous.

"Maybe he's downstairs or..." The spirit didn't even finish what he was saying as he ran down the steps and into the kitchen where Solomon was sitting drinking a cup of coffee and reading the newspaper. He looked up when he saw the Pharaoh's eyes scanning the house with an incredible speed.

`Ah, it's about time he notices Yugi is gone. This is great.. I have to sit here pretending I know nothing when for all I know Yugi is off in America stripping. Oh god, there goes the phone. It's probably Tea. Kaiba is right. She really is a slut. I wish she would just disappear. Oh shit, I burnt the bacon. Now I have to go make more! How the hell can I eat now though? I have to shove food down my throat because I don't know what's going on. Well, if I'm shoving any bacon down my throat, it won't be the one that's swiveling up in the frying pan. I need to cook some more. Man, what am I saying? I'm really starting to crack. Well, atleast I cooked some good eggs. Oh well, may as well talk to him seeing how he's running around like an idiot as it is.'

"Ah, hello there, Yami. Good morning. Breakfast is ready. Would you please wake Yugi? I think it's time he woke up now."

"Solomon, Yugi isn't upstairs...I-I thought he was down here with you...."

The old man pretended to remain calm and continued to drink his coffee, "Maybe he's at a friend's house. He has been inside a lot lately and I told him to go out last night. I'll try Joey or Kaiba. That's the only place I can think of."

Nodding, the darker Yugi sat down in a chair and popped a piece of bacon in his mouth, only to find himself almost choking in a matter of seconds. Reaching over for a cup of juice, he quickly drank the cup and let the food fall down his throat.

Picking up the phone, Solomon turned and apologized, "Sorry about that, Yami. The bacon didn't come out too well today."

"N-no problem. Please call Kaiba or Joey."

Dialing a number and placing the phone to him, the number to the Kaiba mansion rang. The noise scared the living hell out of Joey that he jumped in the air and fell off the bed, pulling Kaiba with him and ripping the sheets off the bed. The couple was currently trying to get a few more hours of rest after seeing Yugi's grandfather earlier.

"Who the hell is calling now?" Kaiba growled and reached for the phone.

"Hello? Kaiba speaking. Do you have any idea what time it is??"

"Hello. Kaiba. This is Solomon Mutou. Cough. Did Yugi stay over your house at all or have you seen him? Yami and I are looking for him and we cannot find him."

Joey leaned over to listen but couldn't hear much when Mokuba's voice was heard from downstairs,

"Seto! Breakfast is going to have to be ordered today! Something was wrong with the pack of bacon and it set the stove on fire."

Pulling away from the phone, Kaiba blinked and yelled back down the steps, "What!? That's the fourth one this week! Something must be wrong with the stove."

Rolling his eyes he turned his voice back to the phone, "Why, uh, no, Mr. Mutou. I haven't seen him. Maybe Tea or one of them have."

Nodding on the other line, Solomon responded, "I see. So you haven't seen him. Well, I'll give the others a call. If you know anything could you pl- Hold on. I have another call."

Solomon sighed and pressed the call switch button and was transferred to the next call.

"Hello? Solomon Mutou speaking."

"Is Yami awake yet?"

"No! Get off my phone. I'm in the middle of a very important call!"

Click.

"Sorry. I had someone else on the line. Anyway, if you see him. Can you please contact me? I'm starting to grow worried now."

"Of course. Is Yami there right now?"

"Yes he is and he's panicking right now. He just ran outside and is calling Yugi's name. I feel bad I can't tell him though."

"In time he'll find out. Oh, I forgot. Yugi also had a note to give you. He must have forgotten about it when he dropped it at my house. You could say you found it in your room and that's how Yami will know."

"Ah, I like that idea, Kaiba. Alright then. I'll talk to you later. Goodbye."

"Bye."

----------------------------------------------

Sitting at the kitchen table and sighing as he watched the servants clean up the mess that was made a little while ago, Kaiba leaned over and kissed Joey on the cheek,

"You know what to do right? Make sure Yami doesn't see you either. It'll ruin everything."

"Don't worry, Kaiba. I kno what ta do."

"Alright. I'll see you later, puppy."

Joey nodded and walked out of the mansion and down the path to where a limo was waiting for him. When he was inside, he told the driver where to go. A block away from Yugi's house so it wouldn't look obvious. As the limo traveled, Joey's eyes scanned the folded piece of paper within his hands and began to read the letter to himself,

"Dear everyone,

If you're reading this I'm probably gone by now. I've decided I'm no longer wanted here and that you'd all be better off without me. I'm leaving for America tonight and there will be no traces of me left. I'm sure you'll be happy without me and you'll be getting along fine. Yami, I just wanted you to know that I hope you're happy with Tea and maybe even propose to her sooner or later. Joey and Kaiba, I wish you the best of luck in your relationship and to all the others, well, I have no words for you. Grandpa, I'm sorry I ran off and I'll miss you dearly. Please take care of everything and tell Yami he can have my room now instead of the other one seeing how I won't be returning ever again.

Sincerely,

Yugi "

Frowning at the letter, the blond then folded it back up and placed it back in his pocket and almost fell forward when the limo came to a dead stop. He thanked the driver and told him to wait for his return. Opening the doors to the limo, he stepped out and shielded his eyes from the bright sun. Holding the letter within his pocket, he made a dash towards the game shop and hid around the corner. Outside he saw the Pharaoh flipping out and Tea grabbing his arm and whining, trying to drag him off.

"Damn. Now what." Suddenly he remembered there was a back entrance to the house and ran to the backyard of the house. Opening the door gently, he slid inside and climbed up the steps. Coming up to another door, he opened it to find himself in the den and walked up the stairs to where he knew Yugi's grandfather would be. Stopping at Solomon's door, he knocked and waited for a response. When the old man opened the door, Joey handed him the letter. The old man then nodded and thanked the blond and then Joey was gone, descending the stairs once again and out the den's door and back outside.

Peeking around the corner, he saw Yami and Tea still outside and took it as his chance to run back to the limo and back to safety.

----------------------------------

Slamming the door to the game shop and locking it tightly, Yami leaned up against it and shoved his fingers in his ears as he heard Tea whining and screaming to let him in. Reaching over to the side, he pulled on the string that let the blinds fall over the glass of the door and found himself smiling. However, her screaming continued.

Deciding he couldn't take it anymore and wanting to see if Yugi was home or even found....he ran up the steps into the house to find Solomon crying in the kitchen. Curiously he ran over to him and sat down next to him,

"Solomon! What's wrong? Did you find Yu-"

Shaking his head and clearing his vision, the old man held onto a piece of paper that caught Yami's eyes, "Oh I found him alright. Read this." He said and handed him the piece of paper.

With his hands trembling, the Pharaoh reached over and took the folded paper from the old man's hands. Shaking, he unfolded it and read it silently to himself. Crimson eyes widened and his heart sunk to the bottom,

"N-no....No! Yugi...H-he's gone...He can't be! W-when did he leave?? Does it say?? Maybe we can catch him!"

"Yami, Yami!" Solomon said, trying to calm him down, "He left last night. It says it on the bottom. I'm sure he's long gone now."

He was sure his heart had crumbled into millions of pieces and fell down below. The pieces fell and became incomplete one by one just as the puzzle was when he was first trapped inside so many years ago. His Aibou was gone. His hikari. His other half. Gone.

`He's gone....No....This isn't true.....I-I'll never get to tell him how much I love him! Why! Why the hell did I have to act like such an idiot! WHY!?'

Solomon saw the tears leaking from the ancient spirit's eyes and decided to leave the room to give him time alone and to think everything over. Once the old man had left, Yami hit his hands on the table and pounded them so hard he was almost sure he had broken one of his fingers,

"WHY WHY WHY! Aibou! Why did you leave me!? Now I'll never get the chance to tell you how much you mean to me!!"
