Chapter 6: Into the fire

“Okay, we need to decide what to do for the school festival?” asks Tea, who was the school festival officer for class B. “If anyone has a good idea, raise your hand” replies Tea, as everyone’s hand goes up in the air except Yami’s as he sits silently at his desk.

“Here!” shouts a student. “Here” calls another. ‘My first school festival is one week away! I'm really excited and what’s best about it most is I can try and spend it with Yami’ thought a happy Yugi, completely unaware of Yami watching him.

“I think a haunted house!” replies a student. “No good class C has already put in for that” replies another student. “How about making Yaki Soba (1)?” suggests another student. “Listen to my idea guys! The school festival is about entertainment right? So we have to show some guts to steal the audience from the other classes” exclaims Joey.

“That’s why I vote for using sex appeal; well call it “The real high school cabaret” the girls will wear customs to appeal to every guy’s fantasy and….” But Joey is cut off.

“Sit down Joey” shouts a student. “Drop dead” replies another student while mean time Yami had caught Joey’s statement and suddenly flushed when a picture of Yugi appeared within his mind dressed as a French maid.

“Okay any other ideas?” asks Tea. “Student pro wrestling” replies another student. “Costume contest” remarks another.

“Takoyaki (2)” calls another student. “What about you Hanasaki?” asks Tea, once she spotted his hand. “Um…uh….Gag Manga” replies Hanasaki. ‘Gag Manga’ wondered everyone. ‘I….I shouldn't have said anything….’ Thought an embarrassed Hanasaki.

“I'll put them on the board….”, “Is that everything?” asks Tea as she writes the things on the black board. “Can't we think of something exciting” replies Joey from his seat. “Anyone who hasn't given an opinion? Yugi… what about you?” asks Tea, as she spots Yugi, causing Yami to look at his aibou.

Mean while Heila and Yami Heila were watching from outside the window again. “Oh….a festival….can we go?” asks Heila. “Now aibou-chan, you know were not students who attend here” replies Yami Heila.

“Please….” Whines Heila before giving Yami Heila the puppy dog look. “Oh alright we'll go” replies Yami Heila before going back to seeing what Yugi would say. “Um…well…I guess I'd have to say games….” Answers Yugi, causing Yami to smirk at his aibou’s choice of activity.

“Not bad…” replies a student. “Yeah” replies another. “That sounds interesting…” comments another. “It'd be fun” remarks another student. “Awright! Carnival games it is” replies Joey.

”Sounds good”, “That’s it” cheers a few more students. “Then we're all for carnival games” replies Tea. “Next is what kind of games to do” asks Tea. “We have to have target practice” replies a student.

“Basketball free throws” remarks another student. “Bottle toss!” exclaims another. ‘Everyone’s really getting excited’ thought Yugi, only to gaze over at Yami who was leaning in his chair with his hands folded behind his head as he listened to everyone chant but when his and Yugi’s eyes met both turned with a blush.

But in the end everyone decided on three games, one was Bluebeard’s attack, bottle toss and shooting gallery for the classes only had a 50,000 yen budget (3) and best of all Tea who was the school festival officer pulled the most popular spot out of the placement lottery.

So, with that preparations began within the final stretch. Just then Yami decides to contact his light. (Yugi?) calls Yami. /Yes Yami/ asks Yugi. (I was wondering…once…. Once everyone is finished preparing for the festival if you….if you would like to attend the rest of the festival with me and go as my…my…) tries Yami, who was sort of fidgeting within his seat.

/As your what/ ask’s Yugi, who knew what it would be and was hoping it was. (As my date?) asks Yami. /I'd love to Yami…. But why didn't you ask sooner/ questions Yugi. (I was afraid to) replies Yami. /Afraid? Afraid of what/ remarks Yugi as he piers over at Yami.

(Of what I want to tell you) remarks Yami. /And that is/ asks Yugi. (I'll tell you at the festival Chibi Tenshi (4) and with that Yami closes the link before Yugi could ask any further questions.

So, once Yami and Yugi finished everyone decided to call it a night and finish working tomorrow. So Yugi and Yami both head for the game shop for Yami was spending the night well not actually spending the night for Yami was suppose to be moving in with him since he didn't have a place to stay really so Yugi’s grandpa said Yami could live with them and so Yugi agreed to share his room with Yami for he didn't mind and neither did grandpa so long as Yugi promised to tell his mom as soon as she got home.

But as they walk home Heila and Yami Heila were walking in the other direction except as soon as they caught up with one another Yugi and Heila collided which causes her to drop a book she was holding.

“Are you ok?” asks Yugi. “Yes I'm ok” replies Heila, as Yami Heila helped her light up as does Yami. “Are you new around here? For I haven't seen you around here or at school before?” replies Yugi as he looks to Heila.

“Yes were new here” replies Heila. “Cool, so are you attending Domino High?” asks Yugi. “Yes we start tomorrow” replies Heila, causing Yami Heila to glance over to her light.

(Heila…you didn't say anything to me about it) replies Yami Heila. /Ops…I'm sorry…must have slipped my mind/ replies Heila with a smile as if she forgot to tell her Yami about the news just now.

“Well it was nice talking to you” replies Heila before she half pulls, half drags Yami Heila home completely unaware of her dropping the book she was carrying except Yugi and when he bent down to give it to her they were gone.

“Odd” replies Yugi. “What is aibou?” asks Yami. “She dropped her book when we collided” replies Yugi as he holds the book within his hands while he showed Yami the strange book.

“Don't worry aibou you can give it to her when she comes to school tomorrow, but right now you need to get some rest for we have a big day tomorrow” replies Yami. “Your right, so let’s head home” and with that Yugi and Yami went home while bringing back with them the book Heila had dropped.

Mean while, Heila and Yami Heila had just made it home and up to her room when suddenly Heila begins to look around frantically as if something was missing or out of place.

“What’s the matter aibou-chan?” replies Yami Heila as she stands in the door way while watching her light. “I can't find the book that holds the secrets and that to the Pharaoh, you and anyone else connected to the ancient past” exclaims Heila as she scatters her things around while trying to find the book.

“WHAT!” shouts Yami Heila. “I think I lost it” replies Heila as she gets on her knees and looks under her bed. “Where did you lose it?” asks Yami Heila, for she knew that if she lost that book Ishizu would be mad for within that book contained many secrets and mystery’s to Yami’s and other peoples pasts including her own and now they misplaced it.

“I must have dropped it when I collided with Yugi” replies Heila once she gets up off the floor. “Well, let’s just hope that when it dropped he picked it up so you'll have to wait till tomorrow to get it back cause it’s late and we need sleep” replies Yami Heila as she noticed Heila sigh before nodding her head, before both decide to get ready for bed.

Next day

It was a beautiful day and everyone was at the school bright and early while getting things set up. “We don't have enough materials” replies a student from a different booth. “Ow! I hit my hand” shouts another student. “Well, you certainly are working hard” comments another student to another.

“Keep it up guys!”, “I wonder if that all girls’ school will come…”, “Whoooo! It’s a ghost”, “Hey, don't eat the food before the festival!”, “Your class is boring again this year…”, “T-This is heavy”, “Put your side down a bit” came some of the comments from some of the students as everyone worked hard to get ready for the festival.

So, as this went on Yami walked around the school grounds to see what some of the other classes were doing until he bumped into someone along the way. “Ops, I'm sorry” replies Yami, as he turns to the person he ran into only to notice it was Heila and Yami Heila.

“Hey, you're the ones we ran into yesterday night” replies Yami. “I see you remembered that” replies Heila with a laugh. “Oh my bad… we got so caught up with talking yesterday we never introduced ourselves… my names Yami Motou what’s yours?” asks Yami.

“Nice to meet you I'm Heila Ishtar and this is Yami Heila Ishtal” replies Heila as she returns the greeting. “Please just call me Yami Heila” replies Yami Heila. “It’s nice to meet you…I hope you enjoy your stay here in Domino” replies Yami.

So as they chat, everyone was still hard at work with the festival. “What do you think? The sign’s pretty good” asks a student. “Yep, it’s good” replies another. “We went over our budget” comments another while Tea begins to see how everyone was coming along.

‘It’s fun to build something together like this….’ Thought a happy Tea. “The Bluebeard mask is finished” replies Yugi as he finished the last minute touches. “Hey, Yugi I'm almost done here too” replies Joey, who was building the body of bluebeard. “Wow, that’s great” replies Yugi.

“Your really good at building stuff Joey, I'm surprised” replies Yugi. “Everyone has at least one skill” replies Tea. “Heh heh…I've been making plastic models and garage kits for a long time”, “Have a look”, “what do you think? It’s perfect” replies Joey as he got into the barrel.

“That’s so cool” replies Yugi. “Heh heh heh…I wonder who'll be the pirate…I'll get a good laugh at ‘em!” replies Joey with a grin. “Why not you, Joey? The size is perfect…” replies Tea.

“Erk….?” Replies Joey “I…I made this mask to fit your head, Joey….” Replies Yugi as he holds the mask up to Joey. “WHAT!” shouts Joey. “What’s this…..Carnival games…. How strange…There seems to be someone in our space” replies a student who went by the name of Goro Inogashira from the senior class D.

“What are you guys doing?” asks Goro. “Hun? We're getting ready for the school festival…” replies Tea, as she looks to Goro. “Don't be ridiculous! This school festival space is the stomping ground of senior class D!” replies Goro. ‘Ulp….these guys looks dangerous…..’ thinks Yugi as he watches Tea and Goro.

“What do you mean “stomping grounds!” we won this space in the lottery” remarks Tea. “In the lottery…” remarks Goro before laughing. Once Goro stops laughing, Goro speaks up, “Listen up underclassmen! This is where we traditionally make Okonomiyaki (5) each year”, “Get rid of these rotten carnival games! Beat it!”.

“Who the hell are you? You're the ones who're gonna beat it” replies Joey. “Hmph” replies Goro as he and Tea look to Joey. “Heh heh heh! There’s always some moron who starts a fight at these things, and I wouldn’t miss it for the world!” remarks Joey, only to feel that he couldn’t move.

“That’s some talk from where you’re standing” replies Goro to Joey. “Urk…I’m stuck” replies Joey. “Just die” shouts Goro, as he slugs Joey in the face. “JOEY” yells Yugi. “Go Grill Brigade! Break down the carnival games booth! Give ‘em the battering ram!” commands Goro.

“YEAAHH” reply the Brigade people. “And a one!” orders Goro. “Damn stop” replies a student. “Our carnival games” replies another. “We said stop” shouts Tea. “And a two”, “Ha ha ha ha ha! Take that! Feel the power of our six-inch thick, 50 serving grill, this spot is ours” replies Goro.

“Darn it” remarks another as Yugi can’t take it anymore and runs. ‘Our carnival games…’ thinks Yugi. “STOP! DON’T! WE WORKED HARD TO BUILD THOSE” shouts Yugi, as he jumps of Goro’s Brigade.

“And a three!” yells Goro, as they charge right into Yugi and sending him flying to the ground. “Ack” replies Yugi, as he hits the hard ground. “YUGI!” yells Tea, as she sees what happened but when Tea yelled for Yugi her voice was loud enough to reach Yami’s hearing, since he hadn’t wondered off to far.

“Yugi” breaths Yami, before running back to Yugi and where the carnival games were with Heila and Yami Heila right behind him. Upon reaching were the carnival game booth was, Yami couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

For there before his eyes was a huge black grill which was now where the carnival games where which now laid in ruins. “Yugi are you okay?” asks Tea, as she shakes Yugi which has Yami turn to her which allows him to see his aibou on the ground unconscious.

“YUGI” yells Yami, as he runs over to his aibou. “All right, leave the grill right here… In our space”, “All right that’s all for today”, “Ha ha ha! We’ll be looking forward to the school festival in three days” laughs Goro as he and his group walk off completely unaware of the glare Yami was giving them.

“That’s awful…” replies another student once Goro and his group was gone. “There’s nothing we can do…” replies another student. For in the end there space was dominated by a huge black grill.

Infirmary

It was now a couple hours since Yami, Yami Heila and Heila brought Yugi into the school infirmary for it was getting late and Tea couldn't stay so she went home while Yami and the others stayed and waited for Yugi to awaken.

“Yugi, you're awake…I'm glad” replies Yami as he noticed Yugi begin to wake. “Yami”, “Where….” Asks Yugi. “This is the school infirmary” replies Yami as he sat next to Yugi on a stool. “But what about the carnival games…”asks Yugi.

“Don't worry, just get some sleep Yugi” replies Yami. “But….”, “No buts…now rest” orders Yami. So with that Yugi closed his eyes and slowly fell into a peaceful slumber. Once sure Yugi was asleep Yami speaks. “Heila…will you watch Yugi for me?” asks Yami, as he looks to Yugi.

“Of course” replies Heila. So with that said Yami runs from the room who was followed closely by Yami Heila leaving only Heila to watch over Yugi. A couple hours later Yami and Yami Heila were waiting for Goro to show up.

Just then Goro finally shows. “So you're the Yugi who called me out, you've got some guts” replies Goro who didn't notice Yami Heila. “So what did you want to say about the festival?” asks Goro.

“You have trespassed into the souls of each member of my classmates along with hurting my Yugi, for that you must play a game with me” replies Yami. “Hun….what are you babbling about? Hey, you're the kid who was whining earlier…..shouldn't you play your games with your mommy? Heh heh heh…” laughs Goro who mistaken Yami for Yugi.

“If you have any guts…you'll play this game with me, this Yami no Game (6)” replies Yami to Goro. ‘A game? Hey, had this kid gone nuts?’ wonders Goro. “Heh, heh….It’s beneath me to play games with a kid like you, but I've never backed down from a challenge…and I've always won”, “What kind of game are you talking about?” asks Goro.

“We'll play a game with this, The Grill that you brought here. I've already heated it up. The surface is hotter than 100 degrees c. This block of ice, this test tube in the center is filled with explosives. If it touches the grill one or both of us will be blown sky high then you can find out what okonomyaki feels like…. Heh, heh, heh….I call it “Griddle Ice Hockey” we'll use these instead of rackets. The loser gives up the right to this space at the school festival, any problems with that Inogashira?” asks Yami.

“I'll meet your challenge” yells Goro back to Yami. “GAME START!” shouts both. “Put a spatula in my hand and no one can match me” replies Goro, as he sends the ice puck back to Yami while Yami Heila just watches.

‘Hun! The griddles heat is melting the ice! It’s a moving time bomb! But if I keep up my power and speed, the puck will be in enemy space when the ice melts and the bomb explodes’ thinks Goro.

‘Urk…..That little piece of ice comes at me with the weight of a boulder! His power and speed are amazing’ thinks Yami. “Look at that! It takes all you got just to send the puck back, my strength gives me the edge in this game! This is a piece of cake” remarks Goro.

‘That’s what he thinks’ thought Yami Heila.. ‘Urk….how can I win….I sent it back somehow, but…each time I return it, the recoil sends me flying’ thinks Yami. “Come on Yami, you can do it” cheers Yami Heila.

“Bwa, ha, ha, ha! Let’s give it even more power” yells Goro as he sends it back to Yami. ‘I must use my opponent’s strength and speed against him! If this doesn't work I'll lose’ thinks Yami, as he tries one more move.

“I'm so tough you can only push it back, but that’s no use, I've saved the best for last, Power return” yells Goro. “W-What? He nicked it….put a crack in the ice…I'm going to lose… impossible…’ thinks Goro as the test tub hits the grill.

“GAAA-RRHH!” yells Goro. “As promised, we'll take this space back, just remember this, those who trespass in others souls….will always get burned in the end” replies Yami as he and Yami Heila leave and head back for Heila and Yugi before going home.

On the day of the school festival….

With everyone pulling an all nighter the carnival games booth was reborn just in time. Mean while, as everyone was having fun at the carnival, Yami had managed to get Yugi alone.

“Ok Yami what was it that you wanted to tell me that you couldn't…..” but Yugi’s words were silent as Yami lent towards him while planting his lips on Yugi’s causing to close his eyes and lean into the kiss.

As those two kiss, Heila and Yami Heila were watching from a distance. “Awww! That so sweet! I'm really happy for them” replies Heila. “Yea, me to” answers Yami Heila. But as those two watch none of them seemed to notice a shocked and angry Tea.

‘Why that little…How dare he kiss Yami….Yami is suppose to be mine’ replies Tea’s angry mind as she watches the two in front of her for Tea had gone in search of Yami when she didn't see him anywhere but when she found him this wasn't what she was hoping to find.

But as Tea stood frozen with anger, Yami on the other hand pulls from the kiss, causing Yugi to whimper slightly before speaking. “Aibou….that was what I wanted to tell you…I love you aibou and would you do me the honors of being my boyfriend?”.

“Yes…I'd love to” replies Yugi with a smile before moving to hug Yami who in return, returned the hug before both pull and both continue on there way back to there booth while Tea stood glaring at Yugi.

‘I will have Yami as mine and no one is going to stop me’ thought Tea before she stalked off to think of away to get Yami from Yugi. Mean time both Yugi and Yami finally return to the carnival booth.

“Poor Joey….” Whispers Yugi. “He looks like he’s having fun” whispers Yami back as he wraps an arm around Yugi’s waist as the two watch Joey go flying from the barrel. “AACK!” shouts Joey, causing Yugi to laugh and Yami to chuckle.

And so in the end, our carnival games booth was a big hit.
