Chapter 8: Red Hot Confrontation

After Serenity and Joey went home and Yugi saw them out, he changed his clothes and decided to go visit Yami that Sunday morning.

 

“Bye, mom. Bye, Grandpa. I'm going to visit Yami,” he yelled towards them as he slipped his sneakers on and opened the door.

 

“All right, honey,” his mother responded as she peeked her head out the door and gave him a wink, “Oh and should you decide to spend the night just call me and I'll give you some advice.” This caused Yugi's face to become fire engine red.

 

“Mom!” he yelled.

 

“I'm just looking out for you, sweetheart. Have fun,” she said with a laugh before leaving her son to leave. Yugi's face was still on fire as he ran for the park. He never noticed someone following him all the way there.

 

***

Yugi arrived on Yami's doorstep and his face returned to its original and healthy color. He took a deep breath and rang the door bell and looked up towards the person who opened it. It was a girl who was taller than him with aquamarine eyes and chin length brown hair. She wore a sand colored button up long sleeved shirt, a pink and white bordered vest over it, a powder blue skirt, and a pair of black buckle up shoes that seemed like the types of shoes most girls at his school wore to fit in with the dress code.

 

The girl noticed Yugi and smiled a bright and friendly smile.

 

“Hello, you must be Yugi,” she said as she opened the door a little wider for him and once he entered she closed the door behind him.

 

“Yeah, but how do you know my name?” he asked because he never met her and yet she knew who he was. She replied with a smile and a giggle.

 

“Are you kidding? You're all Yami ever talks and thinks about anymore. He tells everyone how beautiful your singing voice is, he waits for the next time you'll visit, and once I passed by his room where his door was opened and I heard him whisper your name once or twice in his sleep,” she said as she started to giggle more at the blush which appeared on Yugi's face.

 

“Really?”

 

“Yes, but I guess I shouldn't have told you about that. I just know karma's going to get me for that later,” she said as she led him towards what looked like was the direction of the backyard, “I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Tea Gardner and I'm one of the maids here.”

 

“So Ms. Valentine is kind of your second boss,” he pointed out.

 

“Yeah, kind of,” she said with a sigh, “Mai is actually a great person. She really is. It's just that when Mai sees something she knows she's going to want, the situation is like trying to pry a tiger off of its lunch.”

 

“I know,” Yugi sighed remembering her clinginess to Joey. “You just can't get rid of her.”

 

“Exactly!” Tea beamed. They finally reached a pair of doors and Tea stopped as she bowed to him, “I'm sorry to have to leave you so early but I have some more work to do and I get the feeling that Yami might want to spend time alone with you. So, I'll leave it to you. I hope I can see you again.” She walked down the hall before she heard Yugi say something.

 

“I hope that we can be good friends, Tea,” Yugi said before she heard him open the doors to the garden and leave. She smiled and said as she walked away, “So do I, Yugi.”

 

***

Yugi gasped in amazement at the size of the backyard garden. It was filled with almost every plant he could think of, mostly roses of every color and variety.

 

“How am I going to find Yami in this place?” he whispered to himself.

 

“You don't have to look very far,” a very familiar voice from behind him. Yugi jumped in surprise and nearly fell back when two slightly tanned arms caught him and pulled him into Yami's chest.

 

“Yami,” Yugi said as he looked at him with a sugar pink blush on his face.

 

“I'm sorry, Yugi. I never meant to scare you. I would never do such a thing to you on purpose,” Yami said as he lifted a hand towards Yugi's face and gently stroked the blush.

 

“It's okay, Yami. I wasn't sure if I would be able to find you,” Yugi said as he turned around to look at the garden while Yami's arms were still wrapped around him, “Your garden is just so big and beautiful.”

 

“I know. My mom found this place and started the garden, but when she died, nobody besides me knew about the place, and I couldn't just sneak off to clean this place up without anyone getting suspicious.”

 

“So who took care of it for you?” Yami smirked when Yugi asked him and whispered to him the name. This caused Yugi to burst into instant laughter which caused Yami to smile from the wonderful sound.

 

“I know I met him just once but Bakura?!?” Yugi said once he recovered from his laughing fit.

 

“He was never too happy about the position himself. In fact, he swore to me in Egyptian that he was going to kill me,” Yami said with a smirk, “But that happened before he met your friend, Ryou, who he constantly thinks about. I think that he softened Bakura up a little.”

 

“Ryou is able to do that sometimes. But still,” Yugi said as his gaze was caught by the roses, “He did a great job, especially with the roses.” Yami was at first surprised by this but soon gained a smile.

 

“You like roses, little one?” he asked as he let him go for a minute and gently took out his Swiss army knife from his pocket to pluck a bright red and fully bloomed rose from the bush and to cut off its thorns.

 

“Yeah, I really do love them. I think it's just because I'm a…” he started to trail off when Yami came up in front of him and placed the rose behind Yugi's ear, “big…time…” after Yami did this and gave Yugi a small kiss on his lips and smiled as he pulled away from the last part of Yugi's sentence, “…romantic.”

 

“Come on, Yugi,” Yami said as he grabbed onto Yugi's hand, “I think everyone is getting ready to have lunch.” As he was about open the door, however, he felt something on the back of his hand and stopped.

 

“Yami,” Yugi said as he squeezed his hand a little, “Are you okay?” Yami looked at his little angel's concerned jeweled eyes and gave a sigh of contentment.

 

“Yes, little one. Why don't you go inside and find Tea? She'll direct you to the dining room. I just want to check something out here real quick,” Yami responded hoping to sound convincing. Yugi smiled an innocent smile and nodded his head as he headed inside leaving Yami alone in the garden. Or at least, that was what it seemed like.

 

“You may come out now, Mr. Madison,” Yami said before Leo stepped out from behind a tree in the garden.

 

“How did you know?” he said coldly as he leaned against the tree.

 

“I'm a man of many talents, Mr. Madison,” Yami said with an equally chilled tone in his voice. “I'll ask you only one time. What are you doing here?” Leo took a few steps towards Yami who stood his ground and show Leo that he wasn't about to back down.

 

“Well, actually I was following my little Yugi here to ask him if he wanted to go downtown with me for a while,” Leo said before a look of anger, jealousy, and pain flashed in his eyes, “Imagine my utter anger and surprise when I saw him on your door step and when I sneaked back here to see you all over him.” Yami gritted his teeth to try and maintain his composure as best as he could around this boy.

 

“So, what if he came here? He has the right to be anywhere he wishes to be and with anyone that he wants to be with,” Yami hissed through his teeth.

 

“He's mine and he always will be. I saw him first and I've known him longer,” Leo pointed out to Yami.

 

“Yugi isn't an object or a trophy and you shouldn't treat him like one,” Yami said just on the verge of yelling.

 

“Yugi has always been my treasure and he always will be. He was the first person outside of my family I met who actually made me feel like I actually belong somewhere. The first to make me feel like I could be loved by someone in the romance genre,” Leo said as a grin suddenly spread across his face with a gleam in his eyes, “Plus, in all honesty, he is just so damn beautiful.”

 

`At least that's one thing we can agree on' Yami thought holding back a blush, “Still, Yugi doesn't want to be with you so you can just turn yourself around and head towards home.”

 

“No way, Atem,” Leo said through gritted teeth, “I love Yugi. You don't know how long I've wanted him, how long I've waited to have him in my arms, how many times I looked at him with such deep longing, and you defiantly don't know how many dreams and fantasies I've had every day and night since I first saw him.”

 

“I don't think I even want to know,” he said grimacing. “I suggest you leave. You may not want to be parted from Yugi, but you are on my property and I don't want you on it,” he said before turning around and walking into the house making sure to lock the door. “TEA!” he called. She came running at his almost frantic and furious shout.

 

“Yes, master?”

 

“Make sure all the windows and doors are locked. Also, have someone always watching the security cams.”

 

“Yes, sir,” she said not even questioning his motives. Yami walked, more like stomped, down the hall towards the dinning hall. He opened the door to see Yugi laughing and talking to Marik, Malik, Mai, and Ishizu at the dinning table and he smiled. He felt like a weight was instantly lifted off his shoulder and he almost forgot about what happened that day and it was all just because he saw Yugi smiling and happy.

 

“Mr. Madison may think he can have you but I'll always know the truth. I know you feel the same way I feel for you even though you never say so. I'll always be here to keep you safe…” Yami whispered as he smiled and blushed as he found the perfect nickname that fit Yugi the best way it could, “my little Light.” He calmed the blush and joined everyone for lunch.

 

***

Yami couldn't help but sigh in depression as he drove Yugi home. He wanted to make sure Yugi was home in time for dinner, he had school tomorrow, and that he got home safely in case Leo was out there just waiting for Yugi to be alone to jump him but at the same time he wish he didn't have to take Yugi home. He wanted to be able to keep Yugi with him for a little while longer, he wanted to hold Yugi in his arms and learn all that Yugi was willing to talk about himself, and he wanted to caress him and tell him how wonderful he was and overall that he loved him. Yami sighed before he felt a head lay on his shoulder. He smiled as he gently laid his head on his while making sure he kept his eyes on the road.

 

He reluctantly pulled the car into the driveway and, just like the first time, appeared by Yugi's door quickly to open it for him and kiss him goodnight. When it did happen he was surprised when Yugi gently grabbed his hand.

 

“I promised my mom she'd be the first to meet you,” Yugi said with a blush and a shy smile. Yami grinned and allowed Yugi to shyly lead the way into his house.

 

“MOM! I have someone for you to meet!” His mother instantly came into the living room and smiled at Yami.

 

“I knew this day would come. My son bringing home his first date to meet me,” she said with a smile as she walked up to Yami, “Thank you for coming, Yami.”

 

“You knew?” he asked blinking.

 

“Mother's intuition,” she said smiling knowingly. Yami chuckled at that.

 

“My mother always used to say that when she knew something that I didn't know that she knew.” She laughed at this comment and ushered him towards the couch.

 

“Yami, you just sit here dear. Grandpa and I already ate dinner, Yugi sweety, but…” she said as a sly smile came on her face, “We've had yet to have dessert. I wanted to wait for you and Yami.” Yugi instantly got a hopeful smile on his face which didn't get pass Yami.

 

“You made triple layer German chocolate cake with butter cream frosting didn't you?” he asked hopefully. His mother smiled once again.

 

“Your one and only favorite,” she said as she son received a hug from her son.

 

“Thanks, mom,” he said with a grateful smile on his face as he hugged her tight. Yami couldn't help but go into a dream state when he saw Yugi like that. He couldn't help it. It was like a reflex that kicked in whenever Yugi was happy that he couldn't stop and he didn't want to.

 

Once Yugi and his mother walked in to get the cake, Grandpa took that moment to walk into the living room to see Yami sitting there in the living room. Yami was surprised that instead of being concerned he smiled at him as if he was a member of the family.

 

“Hello, Yami. It's a pleasure to meet you,” he said after Yami stood up to shake his hand.

 

“Likewise, sir,” Yami said in return as he sat back down after Grandpa himself sat in his chair.

 

“It's so nice to see that Yugi has met someone who can be with on a more romantic scale,” Grandpa said with a sigh as he lend back into his chair, “Unlike that Leo fellow that showed up on our doorstep on Friday wanting to know where Yugi was.” Yami's eyes widened at that.

 

“How did you know about Leo?” he asked in case he needed to be concerned about Yugi's grandpa. He knew how fond Yugi was of his grandfather from the way he spoke of him at his mansion and Yami couldn't help but want to make sure that everyone Yugi loved and cared for were safe and he knew that Leo could be a big threat to all of them.

 

“Yugi mentioned him once or twice whenever he talked about school. I could tell that by the way my grandson spoke of him that he wasn't exactly a sane character and believe me when I say that my grandson has never lied or stretched the truth about anything,” Grandpa said as he looked at Yami with concern in his eyes, “Friday was the first time I ever truly met the boy and I could tell from his eyes and facial gestures that he was as obsessive about Yugi as my grandson claimed him to be. I maintained the same sort of composure I usually do around others but when he was gone, I felt great concern overwhelm me for Yugi's safety.”

 

“I swear to you Mr. Moto that I will do everything in my power to keep Yugi safe and out of harms way,” Yami said as a solemn vow to both himself and Grandpa. Grandpa smiled and nodded his head after straightening up in his chair.

 

“Thank you, Yami. I can tell that you truly care and love Yugi and since you're an unofficial member of our family now, I want you to call me Grandpa.” Yami smiled at the older man just as Yugi and his mom came in with the cake. Yami smiled at the little angel and sat him next to him on the couch as he again swore to himself silently that he would protect his beautiful little Yugi.

 

***

Yami left the shop with a smile on his face. Yami stayed with Yugi and his family for three hours and he loved every moment of it. He loved Yugi's family and what was even better is that they loved him back which made Yugi all the more happier to have Yami in his life which in turn made Yami even happier to have Yugi in his life.

 

He was about to open his car door when he looked out towards the end of the street and saw the one person he never wanted to see standing there. He sneered at Leo from a distance before getting into his Mercedes and driving off towards home slowly but not before whispering to himself another solemn vow.

 

“Mr. Madison, You will not go anywhere near Yugi, his family, or his friends. He's too pure and innocent for you. I will make sure you never go near him and that's a promise.” With that, he drove home to think about his next course of action on protecting his little light angel from that insane psychopath of a demon.
