Broken Darkness
Chapter 10
Yugi
“Yugi, your
friends are here!” Grandpa called and I jumped out of my chair and ran towards
the doorframe.
“I’m coming, just
a second!” I said and turned to Yami, who was relaxing along the couch,
snoozing faintly. He had taken a slight
nap so he might be better refreshed to meet everyone but I guess it was time I
awoke him. I went to him and nudged him
slightly to give him fair warning.
“I don’t wanna,”
Yami murmured in his sleep and I smiled.
Either he heard me and was just complaining or he was truly asleep and
dreaming. If he was dreaming that was a
good sign. I think I read in a book once
if you didn’t have your memories you didn’t dream because your dreams came
forth from things in your memory and imagination, but I could be wrong.
“Yami, everyone
is here, I think you’d want to be awake before you meet them,” I stated firmly
and as an afterthought added, “Again.”
“Yugi…” he
murmured, his eyes opening faintly to stare into mine. I smiled at him brightly and he yawned in my
face.
“Okay…you need a
mint,” I said and he closed his mouth and regarded me with a puzzled expression
on his face.
“Huh Aibou?” he
asked.
“Never mind Yami,
my friends are here and I just wanted to get you to wake up so they didn’t
surprise you much,” I explained.
“Hey Yugi, gonna
make us wait down here long?” Jou’s voice called, echoing into the room.
“COMING!” I
shouted back and Yami blinked twice.
“Those them?” he
asked and I smiled wider. He had just
used an incomplete sentence! I found
this a little amusing because it meant he was getting more comfortable as he
remembered more. I mean, more
comfortable with whom he was and he was remembering he didn’t have to be formal
all the time, even if he had been a pharaoh in the past. We here in the present day weren’t formal
like that…often.
“Yep, now just
wait here…and try not to fall asleep or else they’ll startle you awake,” I said
and went to go and greet my friends, hoping they wouldn’t go overboard with the
news I was about to tell them.
…
“Were you
thinking of making us wait a long time Yugi?” Anzu asked gently with a smile as
I approached her.
“No, I just
was…well, I’ll explain everything in a bit,” I said sheepishly, “Grandpa, would
you make us some iced tea?”
“Sure thing, I’ll bring it up when
it’s ready,” he said and shuffled off into the kitchen with a grin on his face.
“So, what are we
here for?” Jou asked, “You said it was important and we should come over and
now we are so now what?”
“There’s someone
I have to reintroduce to you guys, but be warned…he isn’t exactly how he used
to be…he has amnesia and he’s only begun remembering things little by
little. Don’t pressure him or anything
like that, alright?” I asked as looked up at them with pleading eyes hoping
they’d understand.
“What do you
mean?” Anzu and Honda asked at the same time.
“What’s wrong Yugi?”
Jou asked seriously, gripping my shoulders and staring into my eyes. It was hard not to laugh, but it escaped my
lips and I actually felt relieved once I had laughed.
“Nothing Jou,
well…never mind, you just have to come and see, alright?” I asked and everyone
nodded, and I noticed that Ryou was even here, which both would be just fine
and cause problems…although I don’t think Ryou wanted his Yami back no matter
what.
“We’ll follow you
up,” Ryou said with encouragement and a nod and I beckoned them after shrugging
Jou off my shoulders to follow me towards the living room…and towards Yami.
…
“No fricken way
Yugi,” Jou said the disbelief in his voice apparent. Everyone circled around to see what Jou was
staring at.
“This can’t be…we
saw…I mean,” Honda stammered and I smiled nervously.
“Pharaoh?” Anzu
asked in complete shock, “I don’t believe it.”
“Yugi, what’s going on?” Ryou
asked. I sighed; it would be Ryou who
wants to get right to the point.
“It’s a long
story,” I began, “Can we all sit down?”
I smiled a little when I noted Yami’s face. It was a mixture of confusion and
recognition, as if he was now putting faces to names and memories to
people! He blinked a few times and
regarded me with a raised eyebrow. He
really did know what to make of most of this and so I had a little explaining
to do for him and a lot of explaining to do with my friends.
“Okay Yugi,
spill, what’s going on?” Honda asked as we all sat down. I sat down next to Yami and Anzu sat down in
a chair, with Honda choosing to sit on the floor and Jou sitting on my other
side.
“It’s a really
long story, and I don’t even fully understand what’s going on yet…” I began.
“But you know
more than we do,” Jou said.
“True…and Yami
doesn’t know more than me either…he’s still trying to get his memories
back. He’s only been back for about a
week,” I said, “But he’s getting his memories back now and he isn’t as sick as
he was when we first brought him home.”
“Back up buddy,” Jou said, “So
you’re saying he’s been back a week? And
he’s been sick? What the hell is going
on?”
“Watch your language Jou, I’m sure
there’s an explanation for this, and a reasonable one at that,” Anzu said, “You
have to tell us Yugi…what’s going on?”
“I’ll start at
the beginning then,” I said as Grandpa walked in with the ice tea and set it
down before leaving to go mind the shop, “I got a call last week…”
…
“That’s odd
Yugi,” Anzu stated, “I can see where this is really confusing.”
“You can? That’s good,” I replied, “I’m probably more
confused than you though and I’ve been dealing with this for more time than you
have.” Yami’s gaze kept shifting from
Anzu to Honda to Jou and then back again, watching each expression with care,
as if filing it away for later.
“No, I believe
Yami is the most confused,” Jou said pointedly, “He’s the one with the lack of
memory.” Yami nodded his agreement and
Anzu smiled.
“That’s right,” Anzu agreed,
“So…Yami, what do you remember?”
“Not much but
it’s returning faster now,” Yami said, “And it’s only today I’ve really been
able to put names to faces and things like that with you coming over.”
“So…do you
remember me?” Jou asked, “I mean, you gotta remember me!” Jou had sort of leaned over at that point and
was staring into Yami’s face and Yami seemed to fall back a little in his seat
as he tried to put together what he would say.
“A little,” Yami
said, “You’re a really good friend, right?”
He smiled; I bet he hoped it would appease Jou and keep him from any
trouble that Jou was planning.
“I’d hope I am,”
Jou said, glancing towards me with a playful smile, “After all, I am Yugi’s
best bud, and yours too if you still want to be friends.” Yami’s face glazed over for a minute and his
smile grew even wider.
“Is there any
reason why we wouldn’t be friends anymore?” Yami asked and Jou looked at him
curiously, causing Yami to blink a few times in confusion.
“No, not at all,
and don’t let anyone tell you differently,” Jou said with a wide smile and
practically leapt over me to give Yami a hug and then pulled away, realizing he
was crushing me and realizing he had probably surprised Yami more than was
necessary at the time. I had warned him
that Yami was still recovering from whatever illness had plagued him when he
first arrived.
“Who would tell
me differently?” Yami asked.
“Kaiba,” Jou said
easily enough, “That cocky bastard thinks he knows everything.” I shuddered involuntarily at the mention of
Kaiba but no one seemed to notice, although Yami was looking at me with a slightly
puzzled expression before turning back to the group.
“Oh,” Yami said, “Okay
then, I won’t.”
“Promise…” Jou
said, glaring at Yami.
“I promise?” Yami
asked, shrinking back from his gaze.
“I find it odd
though Yugi, that your Yami came back and mine didn’t…not that I’m complaining
about that of course but still it doesn’t seem right,” Ryou said, cocking his
head to one side examining Yami as best as he could. Yami cocked his head in the exact same way as
if he was gauging Ryou, causing Ryou to break out into a nervous grin.
“I get what your
saying Ryou,” I said, “I don’t fully understand it either.”
“I suppose more
answers will come with time,” Ryou said and looked at his watch, “It’s getting
late guys…it may still be a weekend but we should get going before it gets
pitch black outside.”
“What time is it?”
Anzu asked, looking at her own watch as well, “Oh, yeah, I better get going
to! We’ll have to meet up later then
Yugi, I have things to do tomorrow!”
“What?” I asked
curiously.
“I uh…well…I’ve
started taking some dance lessons, they’re pretty basic right now but I can’t
miss a class…” she said with a slight blush.
“That’s wonderful
Anzu,” I said with a smile, “I don’t want to keep you if you have things to
do. I’m actually tired right now
myself.”
“I ain’t, not
much anyways but I do have a little homework I should do if I want to pass high
school,” Jou said.
“You never
bothered much with homework before why start now?” Honda asked teasingly and I
smiled.
“Hey, I want to
graduate just like everyone else,” Jou said as he defended himself, “Don’t go
picking a fight with me!” Honda raised
up his arms in mock defense.
“All right, I
won’t,” Honda said, “I have homework too you know.”
“We all do,” Ryou
said, “Yugi, keep us informed though about all this, all right? Please don’t keep us in the dark
anymore.” I looked at him with a small
look of shame on my face, for a moment I had felt bad for keeping them in the
dark about Yami and then I remembered why I did it in the first place, so Yami
could recover without any distractions and could get better.
“I thought…” Yami
said but everyone was ignoring him and focusing on me.
“I agree with
Ryou on this one,” Jou said, “We’re your friends, we only want to help.”
“I know that,” I
said, “but in my defense I just was looking out for Yami.”
“I understand,”
Anzu said gently, “You didn’t want him to get sick over anything else, you
wanted to give him time to get better and he is now. Just keep us informed if something big
happens or you and the pharaoh find out why he’s back.”
“I’d really like
to know that,” Ryou said as he stretched himself out as he stood up, “I’m just
curious because my Yami isn’t back, but like I said before, I’m still not
complaining.”
“But you are…”
Yami started again and still everyone was focused on me and Yami actually made
a pouting face. I don’t think he wanted
to be ignored but he was. It was the
cutest thing he’d ever done, I could have laughed but I held back, trying to be
just more impressed with the fact he remembered how to pout.
“We’re here for
you pal!” Jou exclaimed and we all laughed a little at Jou’s persistence to
affirm that the others and he would be there for me and for Yami. I watched Yami relax himself against the
couch, giving up all hope of interjecting and just letting everyone carry one
as they were.
“Thanks guys,” I
said with a smile, “I’ll see you all out, alright?”
“That would be
nice,” Anzu said, “Good luck regaining your memory Yami!”
“Uh…thanks?” Yami
asked and I smiled inwardly, I don’t think he knew exactly how to respond to
that one.
“Bye Yami, see
you later,” Honda and Jou said in unison and I saw all of them out of the
house, waving them off cheerfully and then running back inside. I went into the living room and heard a
slight snoring, so I walked around to the couch side and began to laugh
slightly. Yami was lying on the couch,
fast asleep. He looked to cute to move
so I ran back to my room to grab a pillow and an afghan and went back out,
placing the pillow gently beneath his head and spreading the blanket over his
body so he wouldn’t get cold. He must
have really drained himself when our friends were over, an emotional overload
so to speak.
“Goodnight Yami,”
I whispered and before I could stop myself, I kissed him lightly on the
cheek. When I realized what I just did,
I ran back to my room and shut the door.
Oh god, he better be asleep, what would he think if he realized what I
just did? Why am I such an idiot?
