Joy: Here is another songfic that was requested by a few reviewers. Moon Shadow/Yugi. The song is "With You" by Lila McCann. One of my own favorites, actually. Here it is!


I See You

Last night I couldn't sleep

I found it hard to even breathe

Oh, I'm in trouble deep

With you

Moon Shadow came out of the bathroom for the sixth time. She hadn't gotten much sleep last night. She was too nervous to even relax. She had invited Yugi on a picnic lunch in the park as a celebration of their recent victory and also as an outing before she had to return to her home.

"You know," Luna commented, "I do not think Yugi will care what you wear, hikari."

"Well, I wish to look my best nonetheless, Luna."

"And you do recall that this is meant to be a friendly outing. Moon Shadow," Luna added.

"I know." She turned to face Luna. "How do I look?"

She wore a simple white button-up blouse with a shimmering gold scarf and a pair of off-white jeans. Luna blinked. "You look really good."

"Great! I am off to fix lunch for our picnic!"

Today I stayed in bed

Can't shake these voices in my head

I've fallen off the edge

With you

Yugi was waiting for Moon Shadow under the big oak tree in the center of the park. He was wearing a sleeveless black shirt and blue jeans. Of course he also wore his leather choker and wristbands. Moon Shadow found herself unable to hold back a blush as she stared, so she looked away slightly.

Yugi was also unsuccessful in fighting a blush. "Um…you look…fantastic!"

Well all my friends say

That I've way

Out of touch, if I'm not crazy

Then baby

This must be love

Moon Shadow felt like someone had just given her a diamond ring. She got really red and gave him a small smile.

Ra damn it! Why is it whenever I am around him, the blush never goes away!?

She heard Luna laugh in response. "Arigatou," Moon Shadow said. "You look wonderful as well. Shall we set up for our picnic?" Yugi nodded and helped Moon Shadow layout their blanket and set up the food. Soon they were sitting down to fried chicken, various types of sandwiches, fruit and vegetables, and lemonade.

"This is really good!" Yugi exclaimed as he took a bite out of his chicken leg.

"I suppose so," Moon Shadow replied.

"Don't be so modest. You're a really good cook!"

I would go anywhere

Do anything, no I don't care

Long as I know

I'll always go

With you

Moon Shadow felt light-headed with emotion. She thanked him meekly. "So, I'm glad we got out of that mess safe and sound. Now we can finally relax and enjoy ourselves."

"Yeah," Moon Shadow said quietly, her eyes cast down. Yugi tilted his head.

"Everything okay, Moon Shadow?" he asked. "You seem distracted." Moon Shadow looked up, her eyes locking with Yugi's. She found herself sinking into his amethyst eyes. "Moon Shadow?"

Now it's all making sense

Forever's in the present tense

I know it all begins

With you

She blinked. "I am okay. Just…taking in the scenery." She smiled. He has the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. I could never tire of looking at them.

Yugi blinked. He looked at Moon Shadow's expression for a moment, and then his confusion turned to a look of examination, meeting her gaze with one of this own. Her eyes are so pretty. Like gems in the sun. I could sit and stare at them all day. I don't think I have ever felt this way before.

Ohh, and so this story goes

I am yours to have and hold

And I can't wait to grow old

With you

Just then, a butterfly flew up and landed right on Yugi's nose, breaking their stare. Yugi crossed his eyes to see the insect, causing Moon Shadow to suppress a laugh by covering her mouth with her hand.

Kawaii she thought.

Yugi tried to bat the butterfly away, but it kept coming back. Moon Shadow finally let out a giggle.

Well all my friends say

That I'm way

Out of touch, if I'm not crazy

Then maybe

I'm crazy in love

"Yugi, that butterfly seems to be attracted to your nose," she commented. Yugi scrunched up his nose.

"It tickles!" he complained.

"Here, let me help you." She sat upright on her knees and reached over to shoo the butterfly away and ended up losing her balance and falling forward right into Yugi. They both toppled backwards to the ground. Their faces were almost touching, their eyes meeting. Moon Shadow found herself lean forward, touching her lips with Yugi's. She expected the boy to pull away and be angry, but he didn't.

I would go anywhere

Do anything, no I don't care

Long do I know

I'll always go

With you

Moon Shadow broke the kiss, her blush out in full force. She noticed Yugi was also blushing. "Oh, I am sorry! I just…I could not…" She looked away not being able to come up with a plausible excuse.

"Don't worry about it, Moon Shadow." He paused. "But, um…can I get up?"

She sat up immediately and helped Yugi do the same. There was a moment of odd silence where Moon Shadow felt like she could either faint or die from embarrassment. But at the same time she felt like she was flying. He tasted like peppermint candy. "So…um…" she began, "What do we do now?"

"Well, do you still want to hang out today?" Yugi asked sheepishly.

"Yes, definitely! That is, if you are not angry with me," she stated.

"Moon Shadow, I'm not mad, but my feelings are all jumbled up right now. I just need to sort them all out. Maybe if we talked and visited with each other more often, then we could see where that will lead us." Moon Shadow nodded.

Well all my friends say

That I'm way

Out of touch, if I'm not crazy

Than baby

This could be love

But I did kind of like that kiss. Yugi smiled. "That wasn't a bad kiss, though."

Moon Shadow blinked, then broke into a laugh, which was instantly joined by Yugi's. When they got done laughing, they finished lunch and cleaned up, then Yugi stood up. "Come on. Let's go to the movies!" He helped her up.

"Sure! I would go anywhere with you."

I would go anywhere

I would go anywhere

Do anything, no I don't care

Long as I know

I'll always go

With you

I would go anywhere with you


Joy: There you go! Not the song you wanted, Silver Moon Phoenix…maybe next time.
