Nazo no Kisu (Mysterious Kiss)

Welcome readers to Chapter 11 of Nazo no Kisu. I truly hoped that each and every one of you have
enjoyed this fic to this point. Thanks for your support. Anyways, as we left off in Chapter 10, Yugi
just got slapped by Anzu. Why? Continue reading to find out!

Chapter 11: The Truth

Why did she? I don't understand it? I mean was there any possibility that she knows what just
happened between Atemu and I? No! There's no way! What we did was a secret. Our secret.

"Why, Anzu?"

I take off, running in the same direction she went in to find what happened.

I spot her in the restaurant, sitting in a corner, crying into her arms, surrounded by Jou and
Kaiba.

Oh great, the last two I needed to see right now.

I walk in slowly towards her. Jou looks up and spots me. He quickly darts to me and picks me up
by my shirt.

He carries me over to the table and literally slams me down in the chair.

"What the hell is wrong with you Yugi?! I can't believe that you would go and do something like
that!" yells Jou as he sits back down and Anzu cries into his arms.

"I thought much higher of you. You're the last person I would expect to cheat on Anzu." Kaiba
says with a cold voice.

The door...it was her leaving...

"And to think that you proclaimed your love for him. That what makes it worse!" says Jou as he
rubs Anzu's back.

That conversation...I thought it was our private conversation. The reason he asked me those
questions...made me confess my true feelings...he saw her. He knew that Anzu was standing there
looking...listening...

"Sumimasen, Anzu." I say holding my head down.

"I'm sorry?! Is that all you could say is I'm sorry?! Wow Yugi. Even after all we talked about a month
or so ago...you still go and do this. I thought you had completely broke it off with Atemu." I hear
Jou's voice go in one ear and out the other.

"What do you mean Jounouchi?" a weary Anzu says.

"Gomen ne, Anzu. You don't know." Jou says to her.

"Know what Jou? I don't even know!" says Kaiba.

"Yugi and Atemu. They fucked around...I literally mean fucked." Jou tells them...

Thanks for keeping secrets.

"No way! Yugi, you're...?!" Kaiba says surprised at what he's just learned.

A moment goes with eerie silence...

"So Yugi, you got some explaining to do. It's 10:45. Jou's got an hour 15, you got an hour 25, and I
got hour 45. So...we're listening. Why were you literally sucking the life out of Atemu through his
lips?" Kaiba says as his features harden...reminding me of past times.

Jou looks at me, already knowing the truth, ready to catch me in a lie...

Even Anzu stops crying and looks at me with pity in her eyes and a stern heart, not really ready to hear
what I"m about to say.

"We're listening Yugi." Jou says, knowing that he has ways of getting the truth out of me.

He's my best friend...what other reason would it be?

I sigh...and fidget with my fingers and focus on the salt and pepper shakers.

"Atemu and I kiss. We only kiss. I won't let him go any further than that."

"Wait a minute. So the same lips that touch mine...have touched another male's? And what was that
Jou said about fucking? Did the two of you fuck?!" yells Anzu...

If her eyes were fire, I would be ashes right now.

But...

"I fucked him. He never did me. Well...technically he did suck me off...but that's an entirely different
story."

Kaiba and Anzu become very slack jawed and wide eyed. Jou of course is like my moderator... Making
sure I don't lie. Am I under oath?! The 'Oath of Jounouchi Katsuya'.

"But Yugi, why? Why are the two of you doing even kissing?" asks Jou.

"I..."

I look towards Jou who has a 'you better tell the truth or your life will dwindle in another way' look
on his face. With best friends like Jounouchi, who needs enemies?

"His kisses are better than Anzu's."

Anzu's breathing quickens and she looks like she's about to blow...

"I'm sorry, but you all wanted to know the truth and this is the truth! Atemu's kisses are much
better than Anzu's. Ever since that day we kissed in the gym, to that night we did engage in
sex...no love making, to today, his kisses continously sweep me off my feet, take my mind away. It's
just better."

The three of them look at me in complete awe...even though Jou knows about all this...

"We can't see each other anymore Anzu. I know you already decided that in your mind and heart, but,
that's how it has to be. I can't stand the fact that I'm hurting you. I'm truly in love with you Anzu. I
have been for almost a third of my life, and to see you hurt in any way, even by me is just too much
for me to bear. I would rather for us to just be friends..."

Still...silence from Anzu, Kaiba, and Jou. This is getting eerie...

"The three of you, and everyone else can think of me any way you choose when it comes to my
sexuality, to my preferences...but...but..."

I fight to hold back the tears that have now formed in my eyes...I don't know what has triggered
it... I just feel the obligation to cry right now.

I get up from the table, leaving the three in silence and go straight towards the bathroom. Before I
opened the door, I bumped into someone. Hell, my eyes are foggy from the tears, I can't see
anything right now.

"Excuse me." I quicky say opening the door.

A hand grabs my shoulder and spins me around.

"What's wrong Yugi?"

Atemu...

I turn around and open the door and drag him into the bathroom.

"What happened Yugi?! Is everything ok?" He asks as we go into a stall. I let the lid down and sit
on the toilet and bring my knees to my chest and cry into them.

"Why Atemu? You saw Anzu there didn't you?" I say, now hoarse from all the crying and yelling.

Silence... Damn, talk to me!

"You knew this would happen! If you can truly feel my emotions, then could you feel the sadness, the
hurt, the disappointment when Anzu saw us kissing earlier?!"

Once again, no answer...

"Dammit Atemu! Say something to me!"

"I wanted it this way."

I immediately stop crying...

What?!

"I want you for myself. I want no one else to have you but me."

Is he crazy?! I am not an item to be possessed!

"You are mine as I am yours...may our hearts forever be as one."

That was romantic...but not for me!

"You always wanted me, lusted me, desired me, loved me. Now I want to do the same for you. I
don't want anyone to come between us, now that we are together."

And who officialized this relationship?!

"We did."

Huh?

"I just read your mind. I can do it occasionaly, but its getting stronger. Our bond is becoming
stronger. Our love is forever strongest. I can feel it in your heart."

'15 minutes until the start of the 2nd round! Duelists, please meet at the officials table at least 10
minutes before your duel!' the announcer says.

"Damn, Yugi, don't you see that I am deeply in love with you? Don't you see that my heart beats
for you? With you? No matter what anyone else may say or think about you or US, remember I
will always be here for you."

I feel his hands lift my tear stained, red-eyed face and kiss me.

"I have to go now koi. Ganbatte in your duel and I will see you in the 3rd round tomorrow. If you
need me, I am always a mind link away."

He unlocks the stall door and leaves the bathroom. Well, guess I need to be doing the same.

(Duel Arena: Officials Table 10 minutes later)

I finally make it in time enough to check in for my duel.

"Mutou-kun, your match is against duelist number 20, Espa Roba."

"Arigatou." I say looking around. I see Kaiba, Anzu, Honda, Shizuka, Otogi, and Mai sitting together,
cheering for Jou, who once again, still has all his life points.

About 5 minutes or so later, an official comes to me and tells me that my duel will begin shortly and go
to the ring.

I follow the guide to the ring. My opponent and I are announced and our duel begins. I glimpse towards
Anzu and she quickly turns away.

'Shorisha, Jounouchi Katsuya!"

Wow...it's only been 10 minutes!

'Shorisha, Atemu Ikhras!"

Ok, that's only been 5...

...

20 minutes later and I'm still dueling. It's not my fault, my opponent plays very leisurely. I see why
he won his other duels, his opponents get impatient and lose their concentration. I have the life point
lead, 7400 to 100. Yea. I'm about to win next turn.

'Shorisha, Mutou Yugi!"

About time.

"Well done Yugi-kun. You are a tough opponent." Espa says to me.

"Arigatou, same to you."

"I wish you much luck in the next round. I hope you win."

"Arigatou." I say walking away. I notice Kaiba, Honda, Otogi, and Mai are dueling...each of them
winning.

I walk by Anzu and Shizuka who I feel are looking at me very hard.

"Yarou..." I hear as I go to the official's table.

I know Anzu said it...no doubt about it. I get my card for the next round and leave. Not wanting to stay
to see the rest of the duels.

As I'm walking out the door, an officer comes to me.

"Excuse me sir, are you Mutou Yugi?" he asks.

"Yes I am. Why do you ask?"

What did I do?!

"We need you to go to Domino Hospital. Someone there requested to see you immediately. I can take
you there."

I follow the officer to his unmarked car and get in. He puts his siren on the hood and speeds off to
Domino Regional Hospital.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Direction is a good thing. Especially when it's the right one. ;) Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed
this chapter. Did anyone expect for THAT to happen? For Yugi to literally tell everything that him and
Atemu done. Now, who could have requested for Yugi to come see them in the hospital? Want to know?
Just wait for Chapter 12 and I'll tell ya! Don't forget to review please.
