WHISPERS IN THE DARK
“Yugi, you feeling sick again?”
Demetrius, hall monitor and student
council rep in charge of looking out for the wellbeing of the five while they
were in their condition, came up to Yugi when he
noticed the little frail boy leaning against the window of the school hall
after finishing his cleaning duties, breathing heavily. It was obvious that Yugi was still not used to holding his nausea.
“I…I’m alright, Demetrius. Just a little woozy.”
“I think it’s about time you paid a
trip to the infirmary.”
“Th-Thanks,
Demetrius, but I think I’ll just go home. It’s end of school hours anyway.”
During this morning sickness period,
he and his fellow friends have spent most of their school hours in the
infirmary trying to ride out the nausea and keep whatever they ate in and not
out. Many of their fellow classmates come in to visit them and ask how they
were doing, and sometimes even make use of these visiting moments to skip
class, but of course, Illust-chan and Dr. Karita shooed them out the moment they figured those
classmates were doing more than just showering concerns over the five. The
school had given them exceptions from P.E. and tried to give them less homework
as possible so that they could pass this period in peace, and it had lessen
their burden more or less. They have personally received a permission letter
each from their principal that they would be allowed to be home-schooled once
their pregnancies start to show, and Mai had assured them that all expenses
would be covered when it comes down to midwifery services. And of course, the
student council assigned Demetrius the hall monitor as a rep to look after the
five while they were still able to attend school since his big built is enough
to scare away any possible wrongdoers towards them.
Demetrius decided that Yugi was too weak to walk home and gave him a piggyback
ride instead, offering to carry his bags along with his own. Demetrius used to
have a crush on Yugi and had offered his protection
services when the attacks by hormone-crazed men were taking a slight toll on
Joey, Tristan and Malik, but him being a pure male,
Joey went straight into overprotective mode and warned him to keep his hands
away from Yugi. Later during the day, Yugi apologized on Joey’s behalf for his brashness, and
softly rejected Demetrius of his love for he wasn’t really into big, bulky guys
like him. Demetrius stomached the rejection fairly well, and without the five
knowing, had been secretly teaching the pure men who tried to tackle Yugi a lesson all the way to the day they were officially
pregnant.
“Thanks, Demy,” Yugi
said, calling him by his nickname he gave him when he told Demetrius that they
would always remain friends. “You’re a life saver.”
“I’m the student council rep, it’s my
duty to look out for you guys,” Demetrius replied good-naturedly, “although
Joey, Tristan and Malik weren’t exactly making my job
any easier.”
“They’re a little hot-headed, I must
admit,” Yugi chuckled. “But they have a heart of
gold. Don’t mind anything they said.”
“If you say so.”
The sun was setting as the duo was
crossing the bridge on their way towards Yugi’s home.
Since Yugi’s grandfather was an advisor of Mai
Valentine, he and Yugi were considered one of the
well-off people of Domino Island, and usually well-off people’s homes are
slightly further away from the rest of the community at the other side of the
island, and to get there, they had to cross the border that separates the
well-offs and the commoners through that bridge.
“Nice view from here,” Yugi said. “This is one of the reasons why I love living in
the other side of the island: so that I can get to see the sun rise and set
everyday. I’ll never get tired of it. No one understands why I’m willing to
live so far away from school. If only they could.”
“Then I shall be the first person to
do so,” Demetrius replied, grinning as he watched the sunset together with Yugi still on his back.
“I’m glad that we’re friends,
although I cannot return your feelings the way you want it. I still feel bad
about…”
“Don’t worry about it, Yug. I’ve gotten over it. I understand that sometimes
things are not meant to be. I’m contented to be just your friend.”
“I’m glad we’re on the same turf,
Demy.”
While they continued on their
journey towards Yugi’s home, they noticed a figure
waiting at a distance. It was sitting on the railing of the end of the bridge
and was glaring at them with murderous eyes. Only when they managed to get
within eyeshot that they noticed it was a Whisperer.
Yugi held
his breath as he stared at the Whisperer. Instinctively, he knew who it was.
Its spiky tri-coloured hair shone under the setting
sun and kissed its dark tanned skin, making it radiantly majestic. It was
wearing a bangle across its forehead that made it look like it had a sort of
third eye, and it sort of illuminated its sparkling amethyst eyes. It was
wearing a Roman style garment and a pair of sandals, and was sporting wristlets
and anklets, with an armlet on its right arm. It also had shoulder-blade armour around its shoulder made of real gold, and it was
rather surprising for a quite small but slim and muscular built like to be able
to withstand its weight. Its wings spread out like a huge menacing being with a
life of its own, and the look on its face could spell a thousand deaths to
whoever crosses it.
“Uh…Is he like your older half-brother
or something?” Demetrius asked, his body slightly trembling at the sight of it.
It was then Yugi realized that he and his mate were
sporting the exact same identical looks, only it was more mature and adult than
he was, thus Demetrius’ assumptions.
“Um…Demy, why don’t you go home?
I’ll take care of this,” Yugi gestured Demetrius to
put him down.
“But…”
“It’s alright, I’ll be fine. I can’t
guarantee you, though.”
Demetrius, though reluctant, nodded
and set him down. Giving him and his mate one last look, he took to his heels
and trotted off, a little afraid to find out what the Whisperer might do to
him. Slowly Yugi walked towards him and tentatively
reached up to touch his mate to see if it was real, only to be slapped away and
given a very angry glare.
“Who…”
“Huh? What?” Yugi
was taken aback by his mate’s sudden reaction, and his lack of understanding
one syllabus words was not helping.
“Who…?!” his mate demanded, its finger pointing accusingly at
the disappearing Demetrius.
“Oh,” Yugi
finally got the question. “That’s Demy. He’s my student council rep. He was
taking me home.”
“Not…mate…?!”
“Huh? Wha…No!
Of course not! He’s just a friend! He’s just helping me to get home. I wasn’t
feeling very well and…”
“Lie…!”
his mate looked away, its face looking very upset indeed.
“Are you…jealous?” Yugi widened his eyes in surprise, his face blushing at the
thought of it.
“He…mate…! You…lie…!” his mate insisted, not looking
directly at him.
“I don’t lie, not unless the
situation needs it,” Yugi replied, annoyed at the
stubbornness of his mate. “And for this situation, I don’t have to lie. You
don’t believe me, then fine. Goodbye.”
Before he could walk off, he felt a
pair of arms and wings wrapping him close to a thumping chest.
“Sorry…”
his mate whispered, its tone sounding almost hurt.
“It’s…It’s alright…” Yugi blushed, feeling the warmth of his mate’s body and its
thumping heart near his ear. “Were you…were you jealous? I mean,
your reaction just now. Were you actually jealous of Demy?”
The movement against the back of his
head signified that his mate had just nodded in admittance.
“What brings you here?” Yugi asked as he turned to face his mate. “You know you
guys can’t really withstand the sun. You could’ve gotten a skin disease or
something.”
“Missed…you…”
his mate said, scratching its chin in a sort of sheepish way without betraying
its pride too much.
“I’m glad…” Yugi
smiled and hugged his mate lovingly, his hopes and dreams finally bearing fruit
after hearing those words coming out of its lips. He didn’t care if this was
breaking tradition. He didn’t care whether this was lawfully right or not. He didn’t
care if he and his mate were really related by blood or not or even if their
relationship is considered incest. He didn’t care if anybody or anyone or anything would find out about this. All
he cared about was his growing love towards his mate. He never thought he’d
believe in love at first sight—or for his case, love at first sex—but now all
the disbelief totally melted away into nothingness and his mate’s presence was
all that mattered at this very moment of their existence. The sun had
disappeared into the horizon by now and the star began to shine in the sky
along with the moon, and on the bridge were two figures: a Whisperer and a
little teenage human in each other’s arms. People rarely crosses the bridge
because both the commoners and the well-offs have their own towns to lighten
the burden of constant travel to get supplies and necessities, so unless they
were there to visit friends and relatives living on the other side of the
island, no one would pass by and notice them there.
Suddenly Yugi’s
cell phone rang. His worried wart of a grandfather had bought it for his 12th
birthday as a sign of him finally reaching puberty and also means to keep in
touch wherever he went. As he looked at the caller ID, it was no surprise that
it belonged to his grandfather’s.
“Yes, Grandpa?”
“Yugi! Where are you? I got a call from the student
council rep saying that you were in trouble!” his grandfather’s frantic yells
were enough to force Yugi to move the cell phone away
from his ear. Trust Demetrius to be overprotective and spread the word.
“Grandpa, I’m fine. It’s just a
little misunderstanding.”
“What misunderstanding? He was
calling me to say that he saw a Whisperer parked at the bridge where you kids
were on the way home! He thought it could be your half-brother or something,
judging by the likeness. So is it really your half-brother??”
“Well…it’s kinda
complicated, really. But he’s not my half-brother or anything…”
“Then who is he???”
Yugi
sighed. He was tired of being babied and pampered by the ever haphazard
grandfather and was about time to have his own secrets and his own way of life.
He just briefly replied, “I’ll get back to you, Grandpa” and turned off the
cell phone despite the lingering protests from the other side.
“Is…alright…?”
his mate asked, pointing at his cell phone.
“He’ll get over it,” Yugi grinned, for once letting his inner demon taking
control. “Now, how about telling me your name? My name’s Yugi,
by the way.”
“Yami…” his mate smiled and reached down to kiss those wanton lips it
had yearned for ever since the day after the ritual.
“I…I’m sure you know that I’m with
child…” Yugi said, blushing like a little girl. “And
um…I’m having twins, so…”
Yami gave
him a knowing look. Of course it should know; it had the keen sense of smell to
be able to tell.
“So, uh…since you’re here…what do
you want to do tonight? Can’t do dinner though, the morning sickness is a
little…unsettling right now.”
Yami just
smiled and reached down to carry Yugi bridal style,
and before he knew it, he found himself up in the air looking at the island
through a bird’s eye view. Yugi couldn’t believe his
eyes as he saw the island below looking like a miniature version of Domino Island,
and its buildings almost as small as those doll houses his girl friends used to
play with back when he was in kindergarten. He laughed and whooped as they
soared up higher and higher into the night sky, then dipped down towards the
island like one would when they were doing bungee-jumping and back up again. Yugi was having the time of his life.
If only his other friends knew about
this and were OK with it, then they would’ve had so much more fun.
Finally, after enough sky-diving and
getting an eyeful of the island, Yami took Yugi high up to the roof of the lighthouse which was
situated at the highest mountain of the island. Settling him gently and cozily
on its lap, they both overlooked the sea and towards the horizon. They just sat
there in comfortable silence, watching the moon rise higher and higher up in
the star-lit sky and enjoying each other’s company. Somehow, being with Yami seemed to calm his nerves and he actually forgot to be
sick.
“I gotta
admit,” Yugi finally spoke softly, “I’ve wanted to do
something like this with you. To be more honest…I was wondering when I am gonna see you again.”
Yami
smiled and purred, nuzzling its nose at Yugi’s ear,
making Yugi giggle.
“Grandpa told me about you
Whisperers siring multiples, but I didn’t expect you to hit twins at one shot. My
friends Tristan and Malik got one each—lucky them—and Joey got two just like me. Ryou
was even worse; he got triplets! I cannot imagine how Ryou
would look like if he carried the babies to term.”
Yami chuckled
quietly at the notion.
“I wish you could meet my friends. You’ll
love them. They’re really great people once you get to know them, but
unfortunately I know they’re gonna be pissed if they
know I’m hanging out with you.”
“Why…?”
Yugi sighed
and told him about the pact they made when they first met each other at the
orientation week. He recalled the day they, after becoming decent friends, met
up at the school field to have lunch together under the willow tree and them
putting their hands on top of each other’s and made a promise to each other to
be Whisperer haters for life and wish that their children would be born
Whisperer-dominant.
“I don’t know why I even agreed to
the pact in the first place,” Yugi sighed. “I guess I
was aiming to please, and deep down inside me, I was afraid of Whisperers and probably
over my head with anger about the ancestral deal. Now that I see it wasn’t as
bad as it seemed, I feel rather stupid.”
“It’s…okay…”
Yami kissed Yugi’s forehead
and held him close, telling him with its soft and tender touches that
everything would be alright and that he shouldn’t be bothered by such trivial
matters.
“I know it’s a little early and all
but…” Yugi scratched his chin bashfully, his face
going pink with shyness. “I was wondering…since we know that we’re expecting
twins…maybe we could, you know, give them names. You’re the father, so you can
do the honours.”
Yami
smirked and pinched Yugi’s nose, teasing him for
having such thoughts. It then reached its hand down to point at one side of his
belly and whispered, “Destiny,” then
pointed the other side and whispered, “Hope.”
“Destiny and Hope,” Yugi repeated as he rested his hand on Yami’s.
“I guess it make sense. Destiny and Hope it is.”
After sharing a soft kiss, Yugi thought it would be time to go home before the entire
island sent for a search party for him. Yami nodded
and flew him all the way home. It entered through his bedroom window quietly and
settled him onto bed, then left a chaste kiss on his forehead. It was about to
leave when Yugi called out, “Wait!”
Yami stopped
at its track and waited while Yugi rummaged through
his closet to look for something. He took out a sort of huge upside-down
pyramid that was connected to a long chain from a shoebox and wore it around Yami’s neck.
“This is a family heirloom my
grandfather gave it to me when my ‘mother’ died,” Yugi
said as he watched Yami fingering the necklace with
interest. “My parents were exorcists and this Millennium Puzzle had been handed
down from Gozaburo’s line, the first person who owned
it. I never really was much of an exorcist to begin with, since my power is
only limited to sixth sense and seeing and exorcizing mild spirits, so I never
really get to use it. I want you to help me keep it so that…well, if ever our
babies are Whisperer-dominant, you can hand it down to them and serve as a
reminder of me…sort of…”
Yami stared
at Yugi for a while, its
eyes filled both with happiness and pain, before grabbing him in its embrace
and held him close to its chest. Again, Yugi felt the
shivering of its body like the first time it hugged him after the ritual and
was confirmed that Yami was crying. He knew that it
was painful for it to think that after the birth, it would never meet again and
that their relationship were never meant to be, because he felt the same pang
of hurt in his heart as well.
“Please, Yami.
Please don’t cry,” Yugi persuaded, although his eyes
were threatening to tear as well.
“I…love…you…my
Light…”
“I…I love you too, Yami…but please, you have to leave…I’m sorry…”
So saying, Yugi
tore off from Yami’s embrace and pushed it towards
the window, giving it a sad look in his eyes, telling him to go home. Yami gave one last kiss on its Light’s rosy pink lips
before reluctantly jumping off the window and flew off. Yugi
watched until it disappeared before falling onto his knees and sobbed, trying
as hard as he could to convince himself that this was for the best, that he and
Yami were better off apart than having to break the
tradition and hurt more people, especially his friends who had trusted him to
keep to the pact. After crying to his heart’s content, he wiped the tears off
his sodden red eyes before turning his phone on to hear almost a dozen
voicemails in it, some of them being Joey and his pals, and a very, very pissed
off Tea.
“Time to face the music,” Yugi sighed, changed into his home clothes and went
downstairs to be fussed over by his frantic grandfather, lectured by Tea and
bombarded with questions (in which he had to figure out a way to lie about it)
by his fellow friends.
A/N: Eeee~! It’s just so cute the
way Yami and Yugi are
together. The reason why I chose ‘Destiny’ and ‘Hope’ as the twins’ names is
because it was their destiny to meet each other and their hope to be together
forever. Creative, innit? And
yes, I know, parting is the saddest part of every story, but it had to be done.
I know it’s kinda weird when I let Demetrius (you
know, Ushio in Japanese, the guy who became Yami’s
first Shadow Game victim in the manga and anime) be Yugi’s crush and a goody-good guy, but I just can’t really
think of anyone else that is decent enough to be the student council rep other
than him. Besides, he had always been my first and most favourite
victim since the beginning of the manga, and since
this is AU, there’s no say that I can’t change the character’s demeanour a little. Reviews plz!
