Part 7
The light faded away into a soothing darkness, as the sound of a man humming filled
Yugi's ears. The notes surrounded him, wrapping him in a soft blanket. He instinctively
curled closer and closed his eyes as the music snuggled closer, making him feel safe and
secure. Comfortable and warm, he soon fell unconscious. Yugi begrudgingly awoke some
time later. He searched for what had disturbed him while he slept, and soon found it. A
rock spire hung from the ceiling of this 'room', and water was dripping from it into clear
and shallow pools on the floor. Candlelight from around the room reflected in the pools
creating a lighting that illuminated the room beautifully. Golden colored curtains hung
from the rocky walls of the supposed cave, decorated intricately with silver vines and
their bronze flowers grappling for the ceiling. His bed was of the same color scheme,
though the vines this time appeared to be reaching for the sparkling headboard. The bed
was very large, especially for Yugi's size. When he sat up in the bed, he was still shorter
than the headboard. The bed had four posts, all connected to each other by lacey
coverings. Short stories appeared to be embroidered into them, pictures of course. Beasts
and men struggling to fight them; many stories appeared to be very violent. Yugi only
noticed that he was naked as a chilled wind brushed by. "What the? Why am I naked?"
He lifted the sheets and squeaked as he realized he was COMPLETELY naked. Blushing
profusely and shaking his head, he tried to piece together how he got there in the first
place. /Let's see… I was at school, I talked to Jounouchi./ He blushed again as he thought
about Jounouchi's confession. /Then Yami showed up, and he was gonna fight
Jounouchi. And, I went to help Jou up, and then everything goes white, then dark. Did
Jou bring me here? Did he… Did he strip me down?/ Yugi noticed the sound of music.
He looked toward where the door was supposed to be, and found only a hole in the wall
where a door might've stood at one point. He assumed it led to the hallway and to where
the music was being played. Yugi started to get out of the bed, and placed his bare feet on
the floor. "Wait. Gah! I'm still naked!" He used his hands to cover his privates. "Geese!
Are there any clothes anywhere?" He wandered around the room, hands still over his
privates, as he looked for any sort of clothing. He spotted a note laying on what he
guessed was a makeshift counter made of rock. He read it aloud, "Yugi, there are some
clothes on the bed. Sorry it's a one piece, but its all I could find in your size. – Jou." Yugi
looked to the bed, finding something black and shiny sitting folded up. He made his way
over, and checking to make sure no one was watching, carefully removed his hands form
his genitals to pick up the clothing. It was very smooth; guessing that it was leather. He
unfolded it and gasped. It was a one piece as Jounouchi had said it was, but it was still a
bit to take in. The pant legs had attached boots at the bottom, with a slight heel, made of
the same material as the suit. The arms also had attached gloves, and just as the boots
were, they were made of the same material as the suit. At the top of the suit was what
looked like the remains of a turtle neck. The pieces flared out like the petals of some
perverted flower, and Yugi grimaced at it. "Jou said that it was all he could find." Yugi
sighed and proceeded to put it on. But it was just as tight as it looked, if not more so.
Since the zipper was in the back, he couldn't quite zip it up. When something scary and
amazing happened; it appeared to have zipped itself up. He shivered in a slight fear, and
it only grew when it felt like the suit was adjusting itself to him. The boots were a bit
loose, now the were perfect; and the gloves fingers hadn't been quite long enough for his
fingers, now they fit just right. Even flared pieces of the suit came together and formed a
normal turtle neck. Yugi began to panic, and struggled to get the suit off, but it refused to
budge. It had become like a second skin, and he only managed to pinch himself when he
tried to pull the resisting suit off. He foreign feeling of calmness crept into his mind
almost as soon as he began his frantic attempt to escape the leathery skin. It told him to
accept the suit, and it said that it would never bring harm to its new master. There were
no words but there were those feelings; of servitude, of waiting, of expectancy, of calm,
and of acceptance. Yugi momentarily forgot about the suit, he instead focused on the now
louder music. /A violin?/ Yugi calmly walked to the entrance to the room. He peered his
head out and looked to the left and the right. The music appeared to be coming from the
left, and he wearily crept down the narrow and dark hallway. Keeping one hand on the
wall to steady himself; though he didn't know why. He wasn't dizzy or scared, or even
incredibly weary. /Though it is dark./ Yugi snorted at his over thinking of the situation.
/Maybe it's this suit. It's messing with my head./ He stopped. /What am I talking about?
It's just a suit! Am I losing my mind? Must be./ He shrugged and kept walking. The
hallway continued to get wider and wider till it opened up to what he assumed was the
'living room'. It was very bright, especially for being lit by only candles. There was a
large animal skin in the center of the floor; it appeared to be a bear of some sort. For
being underground, the furniture was very modern day. A long light brown couch sat in
front of a large flat screen T.V. What fireplace burned hot a little farther away, another
animal skin draped in front of it. /With a fireplace, we must not be far underground, if at
all./ On the other side of the room, close to the entrance of where he was standing, there
was a book shelf that touched the ceiling. It was filled to the brim with books, some
where even scattered haphazardly around the room. There was a smaller shelf that held
some items to which he had no idea what they were. When he felt eyes on him, he looked
towards the corner of the room, where the music was coming from, and saw Jounouchi.
"Jou?" Yugi was stunned. Jounouchi was playing the violin! Very beautifully in fact.
Yugi didn't know the song, but it sounded very familiar. Jounouchi smiled at him and
finished the song. He set the violin down gently on the ground, and rubbed his hands
together. "Well." He smiled again. "What do you think?" Jounouchi held his arms out
and did a quick spin, glancing about the room as he did so. He looked back at Yugi, and
held his arms out to him, and quickly but lightly slapped them to his sides; holding them
for a second. Before folding his arms across his chest, grinning largely. He couldn't keep
still for long though, Jounouchi began to walk towards Yugi. "It's nice huh?" Yugi
snapped out of his stupor, and looked at Jounouchi. "You can play the violin?" "Of
course! Always have been! But I couldn't attract attention to myself because of the
position I'm in, so I pretended not to know. Clever huh?" He raised a brow and tilted his
head slightly, shrinking his wide grin. "Uh… Yeah!" Was all Yugi could say. "What
position are in?" He questioned. "So how do you like the new suit? Comfy huh?"
Jounouchi ignored his question. "Um… Yeah. It did freak me out a bit, though." Yugi
looked down at the ground shyly. Jounouchi unfolded his arms. "Oh. I'm sorry Yug', I
didn't mean for it to scare you!" He puts a hand to his chest. "It's the newest technology,
it really clings to you doesn't it?" Yugi looked up at Jounouchi, "Yeah, but um… I felt it
move." "That's one of the features! You don't want baggy clothes do you? And speaking
of clinging…" Jounouchi took a step back, and looked Yugi over. He whistled when he
was finished. "You look really good in it Yugi. Really good…" Yugi blushed. Jounouchi
laughed upon seeing the blush. "Oh! Jou? Why was I naked when I woke up in the bed?"
Jounouchi stopped laughing. "Oh. Well when I sorta jumped, your clothes kinda
disintegrated…" "What's 'jumping'? And why didn't your clothes disintegrate? You're
still wearing the school uniform." Jounouchi glanced at his clothes. "Oh, I uh, had to go
back to school and pick up some homework." "Why would you go back to school if you
knew Yami could be there?" "Are you hungry? I could cook and explain 'jumping' to
you?" Yugi sighed and rolled his eyes. "Sure, Jou." It was obvious that Jounouchi wasn't
going to answer his question. "Good! Follow me!" Jounouchi bounded for a nearby
hallway. Yugi sighed, smiled and followed his friend to the kitchen. /Jou and his
stomach./
I felt really bad about not updating for a while, so I decided to write another part of the story. I'm proud of this chapter actually, who'd have though? Enjoy!
