Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Probationis Vitae ❯ Peace ( Chapter 1 )

Peace

AN: This is the sequel to "Trials of Life." To those of you who know how fast that story came out, I just wanted to let you know that this probably won't come out as fast. And I will appreciate any and ALL suggestions!

Also this will involve more on the Millennium Items.

Disclaimer/claimer for the story: I don't own "Yu-Gi-Oh!" or anything related to it, however I do own the plot and my original characters. I also don't own the song used in this chapter, "Flying Without Wings", because it is owned by Westlife.

Warning: This WILL involve gay relationships. Not comfortable with that, then get out. You have been warned.

Also, this chapter will be in Yugi's POV unless otherwise stated. This won't happen often, but this makes this chapter easier to write.

Finally, Yami=Yami Yugi, Yugi=Yugi, Bakura=Yami Bakura, Ryou=Bakura, Marik=Yami Marik, and Malik=Marik.

/Yugi to Yami/

//Yami to Yugi//

~*~*~*~*~ = transition from song to story and back again

~*~*~*~On with the story~*~*~*~

Everybody's looking for that something

One thing that makes it all complete

You find it in the strangest places

Places you never knew it could be

~*~*~*~*~

Three years ago, I never would've believed this possible. I live with my Grandpa and the one I love above all others and I know that he returns my feelings. Then again, three years ago I was a different person, we all were. Three years ago I ran away, but now I'm back and everything's better than ever.

~*~*~*~*~

Some find it in the face of their children

Some find it in their lover's eyes

Who can deny the joy it brings

When you've found that special thing

You're flying without wings

~*~*~*~*~

We've all got better lives now, everyone of us is happy. We each have found someone special.

Ryou still has Bakura, and they couldn't be happier. Especially since Yami and Bakura made an effort to put past differences behind them and now they get along relatively fine.

Malik and Marik came to visit recently and we found out that they got together as well. Surprising in some ways, yet it also isn't in others. After all, every yami, including Marik, got their own bodies after Battle City.

Anzu and Honda are currently together, they have been for about nine months now. Soon after I came back Yami and Jonouchi got me to help them play matchmaker and it worked perfectly.

Though the most surprising couple would have to be Jonouchi and Seto. I guess the old saying is true, there is only a thin line between love and hate. They got together about six months ago, during one of the Venator's visits.

~*~*~*~*~

Some find it sharing every morning

Some in their solitary night

You'll find it in the words of others

A simple line can make you laugh or cry

~*~*~*~*~

I've managed to forgive my friends too. Actually I forgave them long ago, it just wasn't until I started living with Yami again that I was finally able to forget. We're now pretty much as close as we used to be.

~*~*~*~*~

You'll find it in the deepest friendships

The kind you cherish all your life

And when you know how much it means

You've found that special thing

You're flying without wings

~*~*~*~*~

And the Venators? Well, just as they promised, they visit quite often. They come over whenever they don't have a mission or are on vacation. They've also had a couple of missions close by so they could visit in the past year. I didn't expect this, considering the system, but I guess they requested these missions just so they could visit me. They really are the best friends anyone could ever wish for.

~*~*~*~*~

So, impossible as it may seem

You've got to fight for every dream

Cause who's to know which one you let go

Would've made you complete

~*~*~*~*~

Currently Yami and I attend Domino University with everyone else. Though at the moment we're on summer vacation.

I'm going after a teacher's degree, I'm going to go after a dream I've had for a while. I've wanted to teach younger children for a long while, probably ever since the bullying began because I hoped to help the others who have a similar problem. Yami is going after a medical degree, surprisingly. I never expected this, but what makes him happy will make me happy.

~*~*~*~*~

Well, for me it's waking up beside you

To watch the sunrise on your face

To know that I can say I love you

In any given time or place

~*~*~*~*~

As for Yami and I, we couldn't be closer. I guess the old saying was right, absence does make the heart grow fonder. Because ever since I returned for good I realized that I love Yami more than I ever did before. Though it may also help that I know he loves me. We are two halves of a whole, and I can't imagine how I ever lived without him. He's my life and I'm his.

~*~*~*~*~

It's the little things that only I know

Those are the things that make you mine

And it's like flying without wings

Cause you're my special thing

I'm flying without wings

~*~*~*~*~

We've learned to try and tell each other everything. We share everything we have. And in the process I've learned quite a few little things that most would never notice. Little gestures or changes in expression he gets when he get frustrated or angry. I noticed some differences before, but now I've noticed more, I've gotten to know him more than ever before.

And though some say we look alike and could pass for twins, we both argue with that statement. While we're the same height and have similar hairstyles and builds that's about where the physical differences end. His hair has a few more blond streaks through it and is slightly more stiff looking. Also his eyes are the deepest shade of crimson, so different from my own violet orbs. His also, unlike mine, have a certain regal shine, like a prince. The same goes with his presence. While I can easily blend in if I want, he has a harder time, he just seems to stand out. Sure, we could pass for brothers maybe, but never twins.

~*~*~*~*~

And you're the place my life begins

And you'll be where it ends

I'm flying without wings

And that's the joy you bring

I'm flying without wings

~*~*~*~*~

It has been three years since I ran away and one since I returned and we're all happy as can be. Though, we were about to experience some of the most trying times to come.

Yami and I were watching a movie on the couch one night. We had planned the night alone just so we could be together. We were curled up on the couch and watching the movie when we heard the doorbell ring. Confused we both got up and headed for the door.

Not sensing any danger, I opened the door to the most shocking sight I've ever encountered. It was the Venators, and to say the least they all looked totally exhausted.

TBC…..

AN: So, what do you think about the beginning of the story? Yes, the Venators will be playing a role in this story too. Please read and review. Thanks!
