Hikari-Mine

Chapter Two

"May I please speak with Yugi?" I can't believe those words came from my mouth. Ra, strike me down now before I go through with this. The grungy old man gives me an odd look.

"Excuse me? Bakura?" he says suspiciously. Oh... don't let him catch on... I nod. "Just a moment. YUGI!" he yells up the stairs. Then he gives me a strange look. Oh, he totally knows I'm faking. I smile nervously.

...Ra, tell me I did not just smile. Aw, damn.

Okay, this is getting weird. Ah. Here's the brat."Come on Yugi-chan," I say sweetly. Oh, I love my acting skills. He blinks, highly confused, as I grab his arm and drag him outside.

"You're not going to try to kill me, are you?" he says nervously as the door closes behind us. I bite my lip like I'm nervous.

"Well, about that," I say slowly, leading him by the hand toward the park. "That was, to mask my true feelings about you. But my therapist says-"

"Whoa, whoa, back up," he says quickly, pulling away. We stop, and he stares at me. I try to look sincere and kinda hurt. "Your true feelings for me? And those would be?"

I'd blush if it was physically possible, but I guess flushing with anger at myself for degrading myself like this is good enough. I look down, letting my hair fall into my eyes. "Do I have to spell it out for you? I love you, you stupid brat." Fulll-frontal lying. Except for the stupid brat part.

I glance up, and he looks like he's about to have a heart attack, so I suppose now's as good a time as any. "Will you go out with me?" I ask softly. Ra, I am a good actor.

And... Cue fainting. I decide to let him hit the ground.
