Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Trials of Life ❯ Some of the Truth ( Chapter 16 )

Some of the Truth

AN: Another chapter already, yeah!

Sorry for the misunderstanding folks, but the fic. ISN'T finished with this chapter. And Yami and Yugi don't get together until one of the last two. Trust me, I need something to happen so you can get all of Selene and Yugi's history. And more truths revealed too. Don't worry, I still have a few more chapters coming up.

Thank you to all those that reviewed. That would be the following:

~*~*~*~Last time~*~*~*~

"Yugi, what happened just now? You took out five guys like it was nothing." Yami said.

Yugi sighed, "Let's go to the Kame shop and I'll explain a little there."

And together the hikari and yami walked off to one's old home and the other's current home.

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

Yami and Yugi silently walked to the game shop, each lost in their own thoughts.

`Man,' Yugi thought, `I never expected Yami to be following me. And I bet he still has no idea that I've already visited Grandpa too. I guess I can tell him a little, but not all. Not yet. I may have forgiven him long ago, but I still haven't forgotten how he and the others hurt me.'

`Gods,' Yami thought, `it seems that Yugi's changed more than I thought. I can't believe he was able to take down that many guys. And one even pulled out a damn knife! Well, Grandpa will certainly be surprised. I've told him about seeing Yugi, but hearing about him and actually seeing him are two different things. And maybe, just maybe, I can get some answers about where he's been the last two years.'

When they reached the shop Yami turned to Yugi and said, "I'll go in first. I don't want to give him a heart attack."

Yugi had to work to keep the smirk off his face. He'd been right; Yami didn't know that he'd already been by to see his grandpa. "I've already been by to see him." He stated simply.

Yami looked at him shocked, but then quickly shook it off. He'd ask later, hopefully. He opened the door to the shop and called out, "Grandpa, I'm home!"

"Hello Yami. You're home early today. You usually go out with the others." Sugoroku said.

"Well, I ran into someone and decided to come straight home instead," Yami said.

Yugi smirked, "More like you followed me and wanted some answers after seeing me defend myself. I suggested here since I didn't want to talk about it where just anyone could hear."

Sugoroku smiled, "Hello Yugi. How are the others?"

"They're fine. We actually all had errands to run, but it not really anything important. They actually didn't give me much so I could stop by today." Yugi said, smiling.

Yami almost growled at the mention of the others. He didn't mind any of them so much as he minded Selene. Something about her just got under his skin. Probably her uncanny ability to surprise him when he thinks he knows a lot about her and the fact the she was `with' Yugi didn't help too much either.

"Okay then, why don't we go into the kitchen. Business is kind of slow anyway so I can close early." Sugoroku said.

Yami and Yugi nodded and headed back to the kitchen. Sugoroku came in a couple minutes later and they all sat down.

"So Yami," Yugi started, "you wanted to ask me something?"

Yami nodded and said, "Where did you learn to defend yourself like you did today?" He was still in slight shock at having seen his hikari take down five guys who had to weigh at least twice as much as him and were all definitely taller than him.

Yugi shrugged and said vaguely, "It comes from living with Selene and the others for two years. You gain really fast reactions."

Yami eyed him skeptically and said, "You weren't just dodging, you were knocking them down to the ground like it was nothing."

Yugi smiled mysteriously and said, "Like I said, it comes from living with Selene and the others for two years. It's just as simple as that."

Yami sighed, knowing that that question would provide no more answers and then asked, "Okay then, where have you been for the past two years?"

"Here and there." Yugi, yet again, said vaguely. Well, it was true; they had been to many different countries and many different cities all over the world.

"And what, exactly, does that mean?" Yami said. While he knew he was getting the truth he knew that he was also just getting the least that could be told and still tell the truth.

"We move around a lot. We've been to all sorts of places so it'd be hard to pin it down to just one place." Yugi said.

"Okay then." Yami said, accepting that for now. "I also wanted to say that I am truly sorry for ignoring you two years ago."

Yugi looked into his eyes and a ghost of a smile floated onto his face. "I actually forgave you all a long time ago, I just haven't been able to forget yet."

Yami looked at him in shock. He remembered that Selene had said something along those lined to him before, but to actually hear Yugi himself say it was another matter entirely. Yami smiled back at his hikari.

Yami suddenly stood up and said, "I'll be right back," before running up the steps. Yugi looked at Sugoroku in confusion but didn't have time to say anything because Yami came down a second later. He was carrying the twin to the puzzle he had around his own neck.

"Here," he said, "keep it, it's yours after all." He said the last part when Yugi opened his mouth to object. He smiled slightly and took it.

Suddenly the sound of quite beeping could be heard, and Yugi, out of instinct, pulled the cell phone from his bag. It was yet another original model from Jason, at least five or so years ahead of those available to the public. When he picked it up the first thing he heard was Selene's concerned voice asking why he hadn't gotten home or at least called. Yugi glanced at his watch and noticed that, to his surprise, it was already six-thirty.

"Sorry," Yugi said into the phone, "I didn't realize the time. I was talking to somebody and I lost track of it."

He heard Selene sigh before saying, "~Fine Hikari, just get your but back here ASAP before I come out looking for you. See you.~"

"Bye," Yugi said before hanging up. Then he turned to his grandpa and Yami and said, "That was the others. They were concerned because I said I was going to be home a little while ago. I better get going."

Yami and Sugoroku nodded and Yami walked him to the door.

"Thank you," Yami suddenly said, surprising Yugi slightly.

"For what?" he asked.

"For telling me some of what's been going on."

Yugi nodded, smiled, and walked out the door. He knew that soon he would probably be able to finally tell Yami the feelings he'd identified two years ago and recently concluded that he definitely still had. He still loved his yami.

To bad he didn't know that before anything else could happen, fate was going to have a little trick up her sleeve. A trick no one would enjoy.

TBC…..

AN: So, what do you think? Please review.

And like I said, Yami and Yugi don't get together yet, I still want something to happen first. You'll find out everything later.
