My Best Friend, My Soulmate.

Author's Note: Hi, I love you all. That is all. <3

I awoke the next morning after our visit with Ishizu at the Domino Museum. I had texted Yugi the night before, asking if he would accompany me to the Museum again, because I knew Seto wouldn't attend with me. Yugi told me that the Spirit of his Millennium Puzzle who he called Yami, would attend with me, for he wanted to learn about his ancient past.. as did I.

I dragged myself out of bed and toward the shower. 'This is all so crazy.' I thought as I replayed what Ishizu had told us last night through my head over and over again. 'I need to find out more, I hope she's there today.' I quickly jumped in and out of the shower, allowing my hair to air dry as I got dressed into a pair of skinny jeans and a grey form fitting t-shirt. I walked downstairs toward the kitchen, where Mokuba sat eating his bowl of cereal and Seto sat behind his daily newspaper as he drank his black coffee. I walked behind him and rested my head on his and wrapping my arms around his shoulder.

"Good morning." I whispered as I kissed his cheek. I could feel the heat rising up to his cheek and a small smile come across his face.

"Good morning," he returned. He looked at me, noticing I was already up and ready for the day before 10am (and trust me, that NEVER happens unless I'm going to work) and a quizzical look came upon his face. "What are you doing today? That's not to dress code at work.

"I'm taking a half day and going shopping with Tea," I lied. I'll be to the office around one."

"But it's Thursday, shouldn't she be at school?" he rebutted.

 

"She's playing hookey." I continued to lie.

He looked at me doubtfully, but brushed the feeling off.

"Well, I'm off to work.." he muttered. He ruffled Mokuba's hair and his brother returned the gesture with a smile. He graced my cheek with a quick kiss, saying goodbye as he walked out of the room.

"Well, Mokie. I'm off too! Roland should already be waiting for you so don't be late!" I say to him as I throw on my shoes and make my leave. I decided to walk to the café where Yami and I are meeting, just to avoid having to explain anything to the driver or Seto for that matter. I see the tricolored hair come to view, standing in front of the café and leaning on a telephone pole. I get his attention with a quick wave and he turned to face me with a gentle smile. This version of Yugi seemed much more grown up than the one I had gone to school with; he was taller, his facial features were more pronounced and his eyes seemed sharper. As I approached him, I held out my hand to him.

"It's nice to finally OFFICIALLY meet you, Yami!" I said with a smile as he reached his hand out to meet mine.

"Same to you." his deep voice replied to me, returning the smile. "Shall we?"

I nodded to him and we began our journey toward the Museum. As we began our adventure, he seemed distant and distracted, like his mind was consumed by something.

"Are you okay?" I asked. "I know we just officially met and everything, but if there's something on your mind, you can share it with me. I'm a pretty good listener."
