Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Pieces Of Our Puzzle ❯ Lyrics Of My Life ( Chapter 5 )

Note: If anything bad about a site is written in here, it has to do with fanfiction.net, lol. The worst site ever.

I'm going on vacation for awhile and I haven't updated for a bit so I figured I would before I left, Enjoy ^.^.

Thaaannkk you for the reviews! Really, thank youu! I'm so glad you like it. Hehe, yeah, I know, Taichi is awesome isn't he and the best thing is, he's all mine! XD, hehe, anyway, here's chapter five.

Note: I did not copy Sabby-chan's fic, infact, a few weeks after I started mine I found hers! They're almost the exact same (well, kind of, hehe.) but mine is going to have a very interesting twist so when you can, stop by and read hers!

WARNING: This story contains serious Tea/Anzu bashing. It also contains YAOI which is BOY/BOY love. If you are against either one of those or both, LEAVE!

"You really write beautiful lyrics, Taichi. It's as if you're talking about your own life in them. Infact, I truly do think you're talking about your life in this one. You should be a writer or even a singer."- Arianna

Yugi's 17th Birthday…..


A loud ringing echoed through the room making a person roll over and groan, shoving their head under a pillow. The ringing didn't seem to stop and the person found himself sitting up and grabbing the annoying object with one hand. Grasping the clock in his hand, Yami growled at it,

"I hate you. You know that? I was having a dream my aibou was back and you interrupt it!" Glaring at it, he then suddenly smirked and placed it back on the desk, raising his hand; he yelled two simple words, "MIND CRUSH!"

However, he didn't realize that whatever the clock was sitting on would also go to the Shadow Realm and instead of just the clock going, the desk along with half the floor went, creating a huge hole in the floor,

"Oh shit!"

Solomon looked up from his paper from the breakfast table and looked up at the ceiling to see Yami looking down at him with a nervous laugh. Shrugging at that and the huge hole in the ceiling, he picked up the paper again and began to read,

'Been a year and a half and still no call from Yugi. I wonder if he forgot, nah, he'd call when he was settled but my god, a year already? It's his birthday today…..my grandson is 17, my god. I sure hope he's doing alright.'

As on instance the phone rang in the kitchen and Solomon stood up to pick it up but not before glancing at the caller ID to make sure it wasn't Tea,

'America? Florida? Could it be? Wait, this is a very odd number.'

"Hello? Solomon Mutou speaking."

"Hey grandpa…It's me, I'm sorry I haven't been able to…."

"Nonsense! I'm just glad to know you're okay!," He glanced up at the ceiling to make sure Yami wasn't listening and was relieved when he heard the water running in the bathroom, "How are you doing, my boy??"

"I'm fine, grandpa. I really am. I'm living with this nice girl, Arianna and her father. I have a lot of friends and wow, I just love America, grandpa but I do miss you! I'm just not sure if I'm ready to come back yet…"

Shaking his head, the old man sighed, "No, you take your time. Happy birthday by the way! Anyway, I know you've had a hard life, especially with the feelings you have for Yami but take care of yourself, alright?"

He could swear Yugi's eyes were as big as saucers on the other line when the little one gasp into the phone, "How did you know about that?"

Footsteps were heard and the old man took it as a sign the crimson-eyed Pharaoh was coming down the steps, "I've seen it in your eyes. Listen, the object of your affection is coming down the steps now. I'm so glad you're okay, my boy. Please call whenever you can! I love you. Take care."

"I love you too, grandpa. I'm going to call Kaiba and Joey now. Bye!"

With that, the line went dead and grandpa went back to reading the paper just as the crimson-eyed boy entered with a look of curiosity on his face,

"Who was that? I hope not Tea."

Arching an eyebrow, Solomon blinked, "Not Tea? I thought you loved her."

"Well, I do but.."

"I know, she can drive you insane. As she does all of us. Anyway, it was just a close relative of mine."

"Oh. I thought it would be Yugi but I guess I have to give up on that for now…."

Chapter Five: Lyrics Of My Life

Scrunching his face at the video game infront of him, Joey nearly threw the remote into the tv as he saw his guy get shot down. Kaiba looked over at him and smiled slightly before returning to his book. Mokuba and Joey were playing an army video game while Kaiba was sitting quietly on the couch, enjoying a book he had been reading for some time now.

"Damn, Mokuba! Ya beat me again!" Joey whined causing the younger Kaiba brother to giggle.

Just then, the phone rang, making the two freeze in their game and watched as Kaiba got up to answer it. Normally a servant would but it had been longer than a year since they last heard from Yugi and Kaiba was more than anxious for the youth to call at one point.

"Hello. Seto Kaiba speaking."

"Kaiba? It's me…"

Shock filled Kaiba's eyes and Joey took this as a signal and told Mokuba he would be back and to not play without him. Smiling, the younger boy nodded and then retreated out of the living room and up to his room until the two were off the phone.

"Kaiba? Is that who…I.."

"Yes. Yugi! Happy Birthday! We've been wondering when you would call! Where are you? How are you?"

Joey waited patiently and listened to the talk between his lover and his best friend, waiting anxiously to see what was going on. On the other line, Yugi was dodging Taichi whom had a pillow in his hand and trying to hit the youth but the blue haired boy went down when Arianna, Yeminshi, Jackie and a few other people attacked him and kept him away from Yugi.

"Thanks! I'm doing great! I'm in Florida, living with a great family and awesome friends! I love it here! I'm sorry I took so long to phone you. I just phoned grandpa a few minutes ago. I was just waiting till things settled down with me. You know?"

Noises in the background were heard as a vase shattered and Taichi's yelling was heard over the other noises making Yugi start to laugh into the phone,

"Sorry about that. My friends are having a pillow fight and one of them just broke something."

"That's quite alright. I'm glad you're doing well. Would you like the updates so far?"

"Sure, I'm sure nothing has changed I bet."

"Not really. However, Yami did search for you for a year but gave up because he went to so many states and couldn't find anything on you."

Widening his eyes, Yugi gasped, "Yami? Yami actually searched for me? Yeah right! That idiot Pharaoh would search for me? I thought he was with that slut!"

Shocked by the words and tone in the youth's voice, Kaiba gasped but shook his head, "Well….Yes, he did search for you and he misses you like crazy. And yes, he is dating Tea still…"

Rolling his eyes, Yugi snorted, "Figures. He'll probably marry her for all I care. Anyway, I have to go. Tell Joey I said hi and I miss him! Actually, let me say a quick hi to him."

Nodding, Kaiba handed the phone to the puppy, who took it and smiled as he spoke to Yugi through the phone,

"Yug? Happy Birthday! How are ya bud? I miss ya!"

As the conversation continued, the billionaire walked away and down the hallway, his coat edges rubbing up against the floor. Sighing, he raked a hand through his dark hair and leaned against the wall to close his eyes and think,

"Yugi…..It's only been a year and half. You're still the same person…..yet something inside of me is saying…..you're not…"

VAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVAVA VAVAVAVAVA

After saying goodbye to Joey, the violet-eyed boy hung up the phone only in time to duck as Taichi came launching at him with a pillow. No, make that two pillows, one in each hand but since the youth ducked, the phone ended up in between them and went crashing to the floor.

"Ah! The hell are you doing, Taichi!?"

"I'm just trying to give you a birthday hit. Better than birthday punches now hold still!"

"Hell no! You'll have to catch me first!"

The two chased each other around the house and then Yugi collided into a person, Kenneth who just laughed when the boy tried to apologize and sputter out words between mixes of it was Taichi's fault and he was sorry. The man just laughed and held his hand up to silence the boy and told him it was fine as he made his way down the steps.

"Hey you two! Come over here for a second. One of the guys that works with my dad, his son, Kevin goes to our school and he looked at your lyrics, Taichi and he loved them! Mind if I look at them?" Arianna smiled.

Pausing in his chase after Yugi, Taichi froze and smiled as he walked over to the group that was seated within the large living room,

"Sure. I have them in my car. I'll be right back. Shouldn't take me long."

With that said, he was gone out of the house in a flash, rummaging through the car to find the lyrics he had written back when Yugi had first just met him. Smiling at Yugi who had sat down next to the group, Arianna looked over and quietly asked him how the call to his grandfather and two friends went.

"It was actually pretty good. Yami's still dating her and uggghhhh…Well, you know."

Leaning over, she hugged the boy tightly to her and Yugi found himself blushing deeply for he knew, ever since he met this girl and she came into his life, he held a special bond to her and he knew deep down inside, it was more than friendship.

"It's alright, Yugi. I know it's hard and that awful girl is still around but cheer up…we're all here for you." Arianna said smiling.

"That's right!" Jackie said, placing a hand on his shoulders, "Everyone is always here. Don't you ever forget it."

"Thanks guys. I really needed that." The violet eyed boy smiled at the gesture he was receiving.

Taichi burst back through the door holding a sheet of paper, knocking Yeminishi over whom was sitting quietly at a table close by, causing the black haired male to fall to the floor and glare up at the hyper man.

"Whooopps! Sorry about that, buddy. You shouldn't be by the door though!"

Rolling his eyes, the green eyed man stood up and brushed himself off, "I will try to remember that next time while you're around.."

Smiling charmingly, the blue haired man walked over to where the group was seated in the den and handed the lyrics to Arianna as he placed them within her slim hands,

"Here ya are. I wrote this awhile ago. Yugi over there loved it."

"Hell yeah! It really describes his life as it was in the past."

The violet eyed boy then stood up, earning a curious gaze from the red haired beauty that sat close by,

"Where are you going, Yugi?"

"I'll be right back. I need to get something."

Nodding, Arianna shrugged and then proceeded to read the lyrics Taichi had given her just seconds ago. Scanning the paper with her eyes, Arianna began to read the words that were written neatly on the lined piece of paper as Jackie leaned over her shoulder to get a better look.

To my mother, to my father,
It's your son or it's your daughter,
Are my screams loud enough for you to hear me?
Should I turn this up for you?

I sit locked inside my head
Remembering everything you've said
This silence gets us nowhere!
Gets us nowhere way too fast!

The silence is what kills me
I need someone here to help me
But you don't know how to listen
And let me make my decisions

'Cause I sit here locked
inside my head remembering everything you've said
The silence gets us nowhere!
Gets us nowhere to fast!

All your insults and your curses make
me feel like I'm not a person
And I feel like I am nothing but
you made me so do something
'Cause I'm fucked up because you are
Need attention, attention you couldn't give

I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering everything you've said
This silence get us nowhere!
Gets us nowhere way to fast

After she finished reading them, Arianna gasped and looked over at Taichi with tears in her multicolored eyes,

"Taichi? You tried to commit suicide??"

Sighing, the man lowered his head and found the carpet to be interesting as he tried to find the words to explain himself,

"At times, yes. I don't know what was worse. Being ignored at times or being beaten up by my parents. As I told you guys when I first met you, drugs and alcohol were their lives so I didn't mean shit to them…"

Finding tears in her eyes, Jackie leaned over and wrapped her arms around Taichi whom blushed heavily but accepted her into his arms and he too, wrapped his own around her in return,

"Taichi…That's horrible…It almost sounds like mine but only my father was abusive.."

"I know.." Arianna sighed, "And he killed off your mother with his own two hands…God, I feel so horrible for the both of you…"

Smiling sadly at that, Jackie tightened her grip on Taichi, "It's alright as long as you have someone around to share the pain.." She whispered softly, earning a smile from the hazel eyed man.

Yugi then walked into the den carrying a guitar case, Yeminshi followed and sat down with the group as Yugi pulled out an electric blue guitar. He then stood up and went into the corner of the room where a system was as he pulled it over to the guitar and placed it inside.

Arching his eyebrow at this, Taichi smiled and then decided to forget all his sadness and looked over at the black-haired man, deciding to tease him a bit,

"What's the matter, buddy? Read all the books you have in your bag?"

Snoring, Yeminshi rolled his eyes, "No. I'm merely taking a break. I thought I would join you all here and listen what Yugi created out of his own mind."

"It's amazing. Yugi s so timid back then when I first met him, he meets up with Taichi and his whole life changes." Arianna giggled.

"Yugi? You created a song?" Jackie asked in amazement, "As in, with lyrics and all?"

Chuckling, Yugi smiled at her, "No no. I didn't create a song, I made the music and rhyme for the one you just heard Taichi read. Here listen."

Placing the guitar gently in his lap and cradling it carefully to him, the boy leaned over and began to play a bunch of music out of the wondrous instrument within his lap.

Two months before Yugi reached the age of eighteen…

Yugi sighed as he stared in the full length mirror infront of him and blinked a few times before shaking his head to clear his view. The boy….no, man in the mirror was not who he had been half his life, no, he was someone he had become through all his pain and suffering, the results in all this turned his own personality upside down. He was still kind, but only to the ones he cared about, yet, he would be polite to people he didn't know. However, a burning hate had grown inside of his heart, completely taking over him, a hate that resulted against everyone back in Domino, Japan, except for his own grandfather, Kaiba and of course, Joey. The hatred seemed to grow more at the mention of the Pharaoh or Tea's name and Yugi found his eyes had lost their innocence too. They were no longer the innocent and lovable shade of purple. No, that had been replaced by hard and determined crimson orbs. However, his eyes reminded him of the former Pharaoh so he had added a silver outline to them, making the silver ignite the crimson off a bit. His body was no longer tiny and weak, no, since he had been living here, he had grown, he was probably even a bit taller than Yami himself and had muscles starting to pronounce here and there around his body. Of course, he still wore all black, sometimes even leather which he found to be quite comfortable.

`I can't believe I'm almost 18…This is insane….And by god, have I changed…'

Instead of staring at the mirror in horror, he found himself smirking at the image before him as he smoothed out his black outfit, adjusting the chains at times so they didn't crash into one another.

"Heh. The bondage look. Always been one of my favorites."

Brushing a blond bang at out of his eyes, he gripped it roughly and stared at it for a bit before pushing it aside in disgust,

"I really have to change that. Maybe I'll ask Arianna to dye it blue for me. God only know what Taichi would do to my hair if I let him…"

Smirking, he pulled away from the mirror. Arianna. That's right. Her father wanted to talk to Taichi and him along with Yeminshi about the songs they've been writing lately. After Taichi's first song was complete with lyrics and music and all, the boys then decided to write more and more each day. They soon had over 10 songs and it impressed everyone so much, Kenneth was thinking of making them a band.

However, at this moment Yugi had more important matters to attend to as he reached over to grab a bouquet of roses that lay close by. Walking over to them, he picked them up and admired the colors and the mixes of red, pink and white within the eternal flowers. Taking one last look in the mirror, he smiled once again and pulled away.

Walking down the steps, he checked to make sure she wasn't around, and sure enough, she wasn't. Infact, the house was completely dead, Kenneth was out discussing the latest songs with a bunch of producers and Arianna was out with Jackie, probably at the mall. Perfect. It gave Yugi a lot of time to set up what he was planning.

`I may have been afraid to tell her how I felt years ago….but now I'm a complete man and I'm more than ready to let my feelings out for this woman.'
