Yugi and the Magic Puzzle 7

"Yami!" he exclaimed as he pushed Yami back and flipped over to his other side once again. His heart was beating so hard that he thought it was going to jump out of his chest and runaway from him. He felt scared, yet at the same time he felt comfortable; he just received somewhat of a kiss from this… this… but he couldn't put it into words. His words swirled in his head and the only word that would keep coming up: LOVE.
"What's the matter, Aibou?" Yami asked with a gentle smile.

"Y-y-you kissed me," Yugi answered nervously. "Wh-wh-why did y-y-you do that?"

Yami, deciding to avoid the question, asked Yugi, "You feeling any better, Aibou?"

"Don't avoid the-!" Suddenly Yugi stopped. His body didn't feel as hot as it did before, his head wasn't throbbing, his throat was scratchy, and his muscles didn't ache. He turned over to look into crimson eyes again and his eyes were greeted not only by crimson pools but also by a smirk.

"Well, Aibou?" Yami asked as he moved closer to Yugi once again.

Yugi, taking some action, quickly sat up and jumped over Yami and landed feet first onto the ground. He dashed over to the closest wall and just stood there with his back up against the wall. A deep shade of red had graced the little one's face as Yami rose slowly and sat up on the bed. Yugi felt that he didn't want to be near the man who was just sitting there on his bed… 'But…' he thought to himself. 'I wish I could be in his arms right now… that warm embrace of his…'

Yami, hearing the wish, smiled at Yugi, earning a deeper blush from his Aibou. "Your wish is my command, my Aibou…" he said aloud, earning a squeak from Yugi. He began to fade into the darkness of the room (at this point it was night time) until there was no sign of him.

Yugi's heart began to race. He crept slowly away from the wall, just a couple inches, and looked around the room for any traces of his lookalike. He clenched the Millennium Puzzle within his hands for fear had just run down his back as a shiver. Suddenly he felt something wrap around his waist. He looked behind him and saw his shadow, he thought it was his shadow, upon the wall. Instead of the arms being in the same position, as his own, the shadowy arms were stretched out and wrapped around his waist. Yugi's heart skipped and he jumped in place as his shadow peeled off the wall, going from two dimension to three dimension.

"Don't be scared, little one," said Yami as the shadows surrounding him faded into oblivion. "It's only me…" His embrace became tighter as he pulled Yugi closer to his bare chest. He could feel through the mind link Yugi's tension and he began whispering sweet words of nonsense into the little lookalike's ear.

"Yami……?" whispered under his breath. "Mou Hitori No Boku……?"

"Yes, my little Aibou?" purred into Yugi's ear, making him shiver.

"Umm… Umm…." Yugi fiddled with his words. "Do you think… well, can I…?" Yugi just couldn't get his words to come out right, which he was beginning to hate because he really did  want to tell his Mou Hitori No Boku how he really did feel. That's right, HIS Mou Hitori No Boku…

"Yes, Aibou? What is your heart's desire?" he purred seductively into Yugi's ear, earning another shiver. Through the mind link, Yami could feel the loving sensation the little boy was giving off and he was craving for more.

"Umm, do you think… I could have…" Yugi paused and took in a deep breath. "Another kiss…?"

Yami's heart jumped! The loving sensation just grew stronger through the mind link. He thought he was going to swoon over what his little one just said, but he did his best not to.

"Of course you can," he said as he turned Yugi around slowly. "My little one…"

Yami leaned in slowly and was just about to place his lips upon Yugi's, but instead of meeting Yugi's lips first, Yugi's lips met his lips first. Yami, at first, was astonished, overwhelmed, speechless, you name it! Their lips were locked for a good amount of time, but Yami wanted more. So he licked along Yugi's gum line, asking for permission to enter and he got what he wanted. His Aibou's teeth parted and his tongue shot into the moist cave. His tongue explored the inside, trying to find any certain spots that would either make Yugi shiver in delight or moan. Eventually he found it when he licked the roof of Yugi's mouth and got a moan out of him.

Yugi had never felt such a sensation before and he really enjoyed it. He didn't want it to end so he tried to push a little further into the kiss. However, his chest began to hurt and he knew why. He pushed away a little and took in some air, panting at the fact that he and his Mou Hitori No Boku hadn't had a chance to breathe for a good amount of time.

"Well, Aibou?" questioned Yami as he panted. "What did you think?"

"I think…" Yugi answered but had to stop to take in some air. "That was wonderful…" Yugi looked up at Yami with those innocent, purple-colored eyes as he said that. Yugi couldn't resist staring into the crimson-colored eyes once again. He felt something magical about those different colored eyes as if Yami was looking into Yugi's soul.

Yugi was right. Yami had a particular power that allowed him to look into anybody's soul. Yami could see the loneliness within Yugi's soul, all the beatings, the threats, the abuses Yugi had gone through, the broken trusts between Yugi and his peers, and it caused Yami to wrap his arms tighter around Yugi.

"What's the matter, Yami-kun?" Yugi asked, feeling the sadness wash over him through the mind link like a wave.

"Yugi…" Yami whispered into the little ear. "No matter what, I promise that I will never leave you. I promise that I will never let anything bad happen to you. I will protect you, my Aibou…"

"Thank you, Mou Hitori No Boku…" Yugi whispered and he nodded off in Yami's arms, feeling safe and comfortable.

Meanwhile outside the Game Shop, a familiar old lady stood there looking up at the window to Yugi's bedroom. She had a small smile on her old, wrinkled up face.

"I knew there was something special about you, Yugi," she said to herself as a small wind blew through her gray hair, which changed to brown. This old woman really wasn't an old woman, but actually a young girl in disguised. The so-called old woman transformed back to what she really looked like: a young girl with a pair of glasses and silvery-blue eyes.

"Take care of the Millennium Puzzle," she said. "The Millennium Puzzle will keep the love between two souls together forever as long as the two souls remain together forever."

"You really are a very unique girl," called a voice. "Aren't you, Shell?"

Shell turned around to see Sara approaching her. Sara had on a pale white trench coat and a pale white scarf around her neck. Both of her hands were nestled in the pockets of her trench coat. She stopped in front of Shell and looked up at the window.

"So this is Yugi's home?" she asked herself. "Kinda cool. To have your own game shop." She then turned her attention back to Shell, who was giving her an odd look. "So what are you doing here this late at night, Shell?"

"Does it really matter?" remarked Shell.

"Shell, you can't hide it from me," Sara said. "I know you have magical powers. I sensed it in your aura."

"In my aura?!" exclaimed Shell. "Wait a minute. That means you have-"

"-magical powers?" interrupted Sara. "Yes I do. I have what most beings that have Shadow Magic call White Magic. Speaking of which, Yugi has White Magic, but it isn't strong enough to use. I sensed it as I shook his hand."

"So that's why," Shell said as she looked at her hand, which looked like it was burnt. "My hand began to hurt when I touched Yugi's hand."

"Anyway, I want to know one thing and I know you know," Sara said in a serious tone of voice. "Do you know who that man was with Yugi when he was over at Téa's house with us?"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next morning the sun shone brightly. Yugi was snuggled up comfortably underneath his blanket. He slowly came out of his deep sleep and smiled. He just had an interesting experience and he was dying for more. Suddenly he realized something. Where was Yami? He panicked as he sat and looked all over the room and in his bed. One minute he remembered being in Yami's arms, the next minute he was gone.

"Mou Hitori No Boku?" Yugi called out, hoping for a response. "Mou Hitori No Boku? Yami-kun?"

Suddenly there was a knock at his door. "Yugi?" called Grandpa from the outside. "Are you okay?"

Yugi froze in place. Grandpa heard him calling out for Yami. He had to think up something to fool Grandpa. After all, how could he tell him that when he solved the Millennium Puzzle he got himself a genie. "Yes, Grandpa!" he called back. "I must've still been dreaming."

"Well, get ready for school, Yugi." Grandpa called back.

"Yes, Grandpa…" Yugi said under his breath. As soon as he heard his Grandpa leave, he crawled out of bed and over to his closet. He really didn't want to go to school, but he had no choice, or did he? He could wish to not go to school, but…

"I can't waste one of my wishes on something so dumb," he said as he pulled out one of his uniforms from the closet. "But what's the point of going to school when all I am gonna get is a beating?"

"So then what's the point of going to school at all, my little Aibou?" asked Yami as he appeared behind Yugi. "My little one doesn't deserve that kind of treatment."

Yugi's face turned red over the caring voice of his lookalike. He slipped out of his pajamas and slipped into his blue jeans, taking no notice of Yami approaching him. Suddenly strong arms wrapped around his exposed waist, deepening his blush.

"Now," whispered Yami into Yugi's ear. "Does my little one really want to go to school or stay home with me?"
