Trouble in Battle City

'' Tell Him''

KIM'S POV

' Really? ' I asked Akhesa, still stunned by her story. ' He really means that? ' Akhesa just nodded. ' You know, you should be more around him,' Akhesa said. I blushed heavily. ' I'd love to, but,' I stuttered. ' No buts, ' Akhesa stroked my shoulder gently. ' Something is stopping me to do that,' I continued. ' I'll say something stupid and I'll embarass myself.' ' You won't, trust me,' Akhesa said. ' You two are ment to be.' I was just blushing like crazy at her words. I have so much to say, but in the same time... ' No, I can't,' I thought. He'll think me weak. That's what I'm afraid of, but I don't want to say it out loud. ' I'm just telling what's best for you,' Akhesa continued. ' Tell him everything, you'll feel much relief later. ' ' Fine,' I sighed. ' I'll tell him. You're right. I can't hide it forever.' I stood up and walked to the door. ' That's my girl,' Akhesa smiled before getting back into her little space, inside the Millenium crown. I smiled and walked out of my room and locked it. Just in case if the guy in the cloak tries to steal it. I felt goosebumps climbing up my back as I was walking to Namu's room. Suddenly, I stopped. ' No! I can't do that! ' I said to myself.' I'd rather go and see what the others are doing.' I heard voices which were leading me to Joey's room. ' Knock-knock,' I said. ' Who's there?' Joey sang. ' The old granny with fresh cookies,' I said sarcastically. ' Can I come in? ' ' Sure,' Joey said. ' We were waiting for you. ' ' Cool,' I tried to smile a little. ' What's wrong with you, Kim? ' Joey asked me. ' Why are your eyes so red?' ' Oh, nothing,' I said. ' It's too dusty in my room. You know that I always go alergic when I'm in contact with dust. I sneeze as crazy. ' ' Oh, okay,' Joey shrugged. ' Better to have alergy then to have ''granny's cheese'' once in a month.' Joey chuckled. ' Come on, Joey,' I laughed. To make it all clear to you, dear readers, the phrase ''granny's cheese'' is thought for ''those days'' in month. This was the situation, when I didn't know how to say it out loud, (when I have these problems to the PE teacher), but not to get embarassed in the same time. Then I said that I got ''granny's cheese''. Funny, but true. From that moment Joey and Tristan are mocking me because of that. But it's okay. They are my friends. And also the ''granny's cheese'' became our secret password for those girl's problems. ' True that,' Joey chuckled. ' Where are the others?' I asked suddenly. ' I don't know,' Joey said. ' Yugi is probably in his room, Kaiba... Nah, I don't care for him anyway and Namu... I don't know where he is. Maybe he is in his room too. ' ' Of course, ' I replied. ' But what can you do there, when he's used to be trapped in the room?' ' What?' Joey asked me. ' What do you mean by that?' ' Nothing, just,' I started. ' I was thinking that we should call him to your room, Joey. It's kinda sad that we're all here and he's sitting alone in his room.' ' That's a good idea, Kimmie! ' Joey smiled. ' Move your feet and invite him here. Tell him we're having a little party here.' ' Okay,' I said and walked out of Joey's room. Okay, now or never. I had still some confidence. I knocked on the door of Namu's room. ' Namu?' No answer. ' Namu, are you here?' I asked again. I knocked few times again.

MARIK'S POV

I was sleeping. I need to take some rest from this hard day. Running behind those fools for the whole day. Of course I was tired. At least 20 minutes. But suddenly I heard a familiar voice calling for me. ' Namu?' it was her. ' Namu, are you here?' I got up. I had to go and talk to her. I walked to the mirror and fixed my hair which was messed from tossing and turning in the bed. I drank some water and went to answer the door. ' Yes?' I asked when I opened the door. She didn't know how to start the sentence. I could see that on her face. She blushed slightly. ' Ummm, look, I wanted to ask you,' she started. ' If you care to join us in... Joey's room. We're having a little party there, so... I mean, Joey, Tea, I and the others. So I thought, it's a little bit rude of us that you are not here with us, and we just met today, so... Yes.' She spoke it, as she was in hurry. ' Well, sure, Kim, I would like to,' I smiled to her. I walked out of my room and locked it. ' So what are we doing?' ' Oh, well, we're playing games, singing, telling jokes,' she counted. ' Cool,' I said while we were walking to Joey's room. Then I thought: ' No, I don't want to be with those fools. I want to be only with you, Kim.' ' Hey,' I said. ' How about we go for a walk instead? ' She looked at me. ' Why?' she asked me. ' How comes that you've changed your mind? ' ' Oh, well,' I started. ' I thought that we could take a walk together. I wanted to get to know you better, you know.' ' Well, okay,' for a wonder, she accepted my suggestion. We were walking down the halls. ' So, Namu,' she started. ' Where are you from? I've never seen you in Domino before.' ' Oh, I'm going to be an exchange student,' I replied. I couldn't think of something better. ' So, I thought this tournament would be a great opportunity to know this place better before moving here.' ' Wow, that's cool!' she replied with a smile which never leaves her face. ' Maybe you'll go to our school. Or you might end up in the same class with us.' ' Yes, that would be great,' I smiled. ' At least I would know someone there, so I wouldn't have any problems.' ' True that,' she said. ' Do you have any hobby? What are you doing in your free-time? ' ' Well, besides Duel Monsters,' I started. ' Riding my motorcycle. And meeting cute girls.'
