The Pharaoh's return

Chapter 4: Starting Back At School

Yugi's POV:
I was warm and comfortable wrapped up in my blanket like a toasty little cinnamon bun, it was still dark out when an annoying noise rang out in my ear, I growled and opened my eyes that were filled with sleep. I turned off my alarm and looked to the time to see that it was the time I used to always get up for school, well that was before I stopped going after Yami left. Yami is back with me now though so I guess I have no choice but to start going back to school since he will be going with me after all this is the last year of school before we graduate into the big wide world out there.

''I guess the school prom is coming up soon too, huh I wonder would Yami..... No there is no way he would ask me to be his date would there? I dunno but I can't ask him at least not yet I mean I can't even tell him my true feelings for him yet without freezing up on the spot'' I said to myself with a sigh as I waked to the bathroom and got into the shower letting the warm water soak into my body and hair that flattened at the contact. I took a deep breath as several strong emotions flooded through my body as I thought of the Pharaoh that I love oh so much.

His smiling face flashed in my mind making me smile and open my eyes, god I love him so much I don't think there ever is a time that I'm not thinking of him. I picked up the shampoo not realising which one that it was as I was too busy daydreaming about the Pharaoh that now slept in the room right next door to my own, it was only when I started to smell the scent of sand and Egyptian spices that made my heart melt with affection that I looked down to the bottle,

''crap I accidently picked up Yami's shampoo will he mind that I used his shampoo on accident? Na I don't think so.... plus it means I smell his scent no matter where I go today and that would be nice its almost like he's here with me wrapping me up in his warm embrace and giving me a tight hug. His strong arms wrapped around my body'' I said completely in fan boy mode at the moment. I shook my head when I realised what I was thinking about and I blushed hard

''maybe the heat of the water is too warm... man its not like me to get like that'' I whispered to myself as I turned the shower off and got out. I splashed some cold water on my face then dried of and pulled my clothes on. Afterwards I walked to Yami's room and knocked on the door softly only to get no answer, I tilted my head a little and opened the door to see that the room was dark and Yami was still asleep making me hold back a giggle and walk over to his bed.

I pulled back the covers a little to see that he had been sleeping shirtless, I blushed hard as I looked to his body he was strong and toned he looked perfect to me... no he was perfect to me. It was hard for me to hold back from touching him but I had too if he woke up he would probably find it weird,

''Yami.... Yami wake up we have to go to school'' I said shaking him made sure to try and keep my hands to his shoulders he gave out a small groan of annoyance before opening his eyes and looking up to me ''time for school'' I said softly he smiled to me but groaned when I mentioned school. None the less he sat up and stretched. I couldn't help but look to his toned and tanned chest.

''What's wrong Yugi?'' Yami asked looking to me I looked back but shook my head shouting 'nothing' then ran out his room to allow him to get ready in peace. I waited downstairs for him blushing as I made toast for the both of us

'why can't I tell him? How hard can it be? Yami... I love you, see its not that hard Yugi is it?' I thought to myself with a sigh just then I felt arms wrap around me making me yelp in surprise. I blushed hard when I realised that the person holding me was Yami. I wanted to lean into his arms and nuzzle him but my embarrassment got the better of me and I slid out of his arms pushing toast into his mouth and looking away with my eyes closed.

Yami's POV:
As I was walking down the stairs after getting ready I had decided to make my move and tell Yugi that I loved him, I noticed that he was deep in thought and not really paying attention to what he was doing. I smiled and walking over wrapping my arms around him I was about to kiss his neck softly when I felt him pull away and shove toast in my mouth making me blink in surprise. I looked to him to see his cheeks red and his eyes closed did I hurt him? Or is he just shy?

''Mm...mmmph'' I tried to say through my mouth being filled with toast Yugi looked up to me still red he tilted his head a little making me smile at the cute expression he was making. I munched on the toast that was in my mouth then took the other half into my hand. ''I said you look really cute when you blush like that'' I said with a smile as I walked past him and to the front door where I held it open and waited for him.

I noticed that this seemed to heat his cheeks up even more which only made me smile more at his adorable little expression, this was something that I missed seeing his blushing face, his happy face, I just missed everything about him I missed him. He walked over picking up his bag and walking out of the house a head of me and I followed him out locking the door behind me as gramps was still asleep. As we walked we were quiet for quite a while I was trying to figure out how to tell him my feelings now that we were out the house and he had pulled away from me, 'does he not like me in that way? Or is he still mad with me over leaving? He did say that he still forgave me but maybe he just see's me as a friend.....*sigh* maybe I can't tell him after all.... I was originally planning on taking my feelings to my grave' I thought with a heartbroken sigh and continued to walk in silence.

As we got to the school I walked to the office to register then took my lesson layout from the teacher I was given the seat in the row beside Yugi's and one chair in front of his. I accepted the books and opened the music one as I started to ready through it waiting for class to start. I felt like I was being buried again only this time not inside the millennium puzzle, I sighed again not noticing that Yugi was looking to me from where he was sitting with a silent and worried look on his face.

''Alright class everyone open your books to page 69 and start reading the first page on the famous Pharaoh of ancient Egypt. As you know 5000 years ago there was a nameless king that saved the world from the destruction of what is known as the shadow games, now as the legend goes this brave and powerful Pharaoh sealed himself away inside an ancient artifact and used something to protect the world now can anyone tell me what that something was without looking to the page for reference?'' The teacher said my head shot up and before anyone even had a chance to open the book or say anything I shouted the answer out forgetting to raise my hand,

''the three Egyptian gods! Slifer the sky dragon, Obelisk the Tormentor and the winged dragon of Ra! Since he was the chosen king he had the ability to wield and summon all three of the gods and use their powers for good. Its said even to this day if someone wields the three dual cards of these gods no one except said king will be able to use them all at once since there is an ancient chant to Ra that only the Pharaoh knows!'' I shouted then blushed a little when everyone was looking at me strangely, all except Yugi and Joey who were smiling knowingly.

''Very good Yami I am impressed that you know this much about it, I will be expecting great things from you in your essay that you will be all writing for me for this time next week. Now everyone read over the chapter and make sure to take notes because it will be closed book no help'' She said as the class started muttering about me seemingly impressed. I just blushed harder and lowered my eyes to read over the chapter they had everything right about what happened only a lot of information on it was missing, then again this was over 5000 years ago its natural that they wouldn't know a lot about it in this era.

The rest of the class and school was average I seemed to be good at athletics, music and art even then history was still my favourite class. Then there was arithmetic, and English I had no idea what English was sometimes even my Japanese was questionable at best with how long I was used to reading and writing in hieroglyphics not Japanese kanji but English..... not happening and in ancient Egypt these strange ways of measuring and counting never existed so they baffled me. As soon as we got home I worked on finishing the picture that I was drawing for my art project then looked to the arithmetic and English homework and drew a blank

''maybe I should ask Yugi to help me? It could help me think of a way to confess and it means that I wont fail as well. All right that's what I'll do!'' I said happily as I stood from my desk this was going to be the best homework session we will ever have!
