Universal Love

Chapter 1

Welcome

It was a bright, sunny, fall day in Domino, Japan. There was a light breeze blowing making it cool enough to stay outside for hours. A young man was walking down the sidewalk, headed to University. His hair was tri-colored and spiked out in the shape of a star. His ebony black hair had bright purple tips and blonde bangs framed his face which was slowly losing its cherubic shape. He had big bright amethyst eyes, sparkling with excitement, but his facial expression revealed he was also scared. His skin was pale and he wore dark blue uniform pants, black and white Nike tennis shoes, a white button up dress shirt, untucked, and carried his dark blue uniform jacket with a brown back pack. He rolled a black suit case along beside him, carrying what he would need to live here on campus.

Yugi Motou was smaller than most kids his age, he was shy and felt awkward in social places. He decided to stay on campus at University so maybe he could open up a bit more and become socialable. He didn't have many friends, but Ryou and Malik were his best friends and they got him into their sorority house. (A/N: For those of you who like to get pissy and have technical terms, I'm sorry, but I don't go to University, :P So its kind of a long shot here :) I'll do my best.)

Yugi arrived in front of the giant University. He walked in and went to the office. "You must be Motou, Yugi" he heard a woman say. He turned and saw a woman standing there, she was dressed in slacks with a purple business suit top, black strappy heels on her feet. Her brown hair was pulled back and twisted into a bun with a stick sticking out of the bun, her bright green eyes sparkling.

Yugi smiled at the lady "Yeah, thats me."

"I see that you're in the sorority with Ryou Ishku and Malik Ishtar, is that right?" Yugi nodded. "Good, then Mr. Wheeler over there can show you around, he's also in that sorority and he's very kind." The lady pointed at a blonde haired man that sat in one of the chairs outside of the office. He was wearing the school uniform, the jacket no where in sight, and his tennis shoes were white with black strings. "Mr. Wheeler!" The lady called. The blonde looked over at the two of them with one eyebrow raised. "Can you come here?"

The blonde closed the book he had been reading and walked over. "Yeah Mrs. Rin?"

"Mr. Wheeler this is Yugi Motou, he's joining your sorority and I was wondering if you could possibly show him to the house and to his room. Mr. Motou this is Joey Wheeler."

Joey put out his hand for Yugi to shake. "It's nice to meet ya" Joey said in his brooklyn accent.

Yugi smiled at Joey "It's nice to meet you too Whee-"

Joey held up his hand "It's okay, just Joey okay?" Joey said smiling at Yugi.

"Joey it is then" Yugi nodded and his eyes brightened a bit more.

"Alright Yugi, let's go show you around and then we'll get you settled into your room."

Yugi giggled but nodded and began to follow Joey around the school.

Yugi was wore out by the end of the tour. The University was so big, and there were so many twists and turns. Yugi flopped down on a nearby bench, his poor little legs were on fire. "Oh jeeze, this school is so big" Yugi groaned.

Joey chuckled "C'mon, the sorority house is just over there, and it looks like everyone is home." Joey grabbed Yugi's suitcase with one hand and Yugi's hand with the other, dragging the smaller all the way to the house.

"J-Joey, how many people are here?" Yugi asked, looking nervous as ever.

"Well, theres kind of two groups that live here." Joey started counting on his fingers "Including you, theres now twelve of us here." Yugi started to shake visibly "Hey, relax" Joey told him "Everyone that's here is just as friendly as I am. Marik and Bakura are the two troublemakers here, but Yami and Seto will keep them in line."

"Anything I should know before we go in?" Yugi turned to Joey.

"Well, Yami and Seto are cousins, and Seto has asked us all not to ask Yami about his family. I'm not sure why, but whenever someone asks Yami about his family Yami acts all depressed. So try not to mention the F word okay?"

Yugi nodded. "Wha-"

Just then the door flew open and a white haired blur flew past the two followed by a light blonde blur. Yugi's eyes were as wide as dinner plates. "W-What w-was th-that?"

"The white blur was Bakura, the light blonde was Marik" Joey explained.

"The troublemakers?"

"Yup"

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU TWO WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU!" The two turned and Yugi blushed. He was really suprised he didn't get a nosebleed with the gorgeous tanned man that stood shirtless in front of him. The man wore tight dark blue leather pants with two black belts on his hips, black boots with silver belt designs on them, a black choker around his neck, he was putting a belt looking bracelet around his wrist, his tricolored hair was combed back, ebony black with crimson red tips, a few blonde bangs going back in it, the rest of his bangs framing his face. The man looked up at the two and smiled sheepishly. His crimson red eyes closing at the gesture. "Sorry about that. You must be the new guy" The man held his hand out "Yami, Yami Sennen."

Yugi absentmindedly shook hands with Yami. "Uh, oh, um Yugi, Yugi Motou" Yugi said giving his head a shake.

Yami chuckled "I'm going to chase those two down and get my shirt back before someone here passes out." Yami walked past Yugi with a wink and began chasing after the two troublemakers.

Yugi blushed a bright red. He couldn't help but watch Yami while he sprinted off on the heels of the two blurs from earlier. Joey was waving his hand in front of Yugi's face but still not getting any response. "Earth to Yugi!" Joey yelled in Yugi's ear.

Yugi plugged his ear and turned to look at Joey. "What the heck was that for?"

"You were drooling over one of our house mates" Joey smirked at Yugi "Someone liked what he saw."

Yugi blushed a darker red, if at all possible. "Relax, it'll be our little secret" Joey said grinning at Yugi.

Yugi facepalmed but continued to follow Joey inside. They walked into what Yugi guessed was the common room. There were three large couches, two along the wall and one in the middle. A few recliners were placed in random spots around the room, a large rug was spread out in the middle of the floor, a coffee table was sitting on top of it. There were a few doors off to the sides. "Wow" was all that Yugi could manage.

Joey chuckled "Yeah, it grows on ya though. You'll-"

"Well that takes care of that" The two of them turned and saw Yami walking into the room pulling his tight black shirt over his head.

"Beat 'em up Yam?" (A/N: Pronounced Yawm) Joey snickered.

"Not to bad" Yami chuckled brushing off his shirt while he walked past the two. "You show him around the University too?"

"Yep"

"Okay. Sorry about that, I had to have a shower though."

"Hey, that's fine, it was fun."

"Thanks Joey. You gonna finish it up then or would you like me to take over?" Yami quit picking at his shirt and looked up at Joey.

"Nah, you look like you could use some lunch Yams. You go eat, I'll finish this tour."

Yami chuckled "Thanks Joey, you're a great help."

"I try my best for my bud."

Yami chuckled before disappearing behind the right door towards the back of the room. Groaning was heard and then a thump. The two of them turned around and the "blurs" from earlier were flopped down on the floor. "Yami is so mean" the white haired one groaned.

"What a dick" the light blonde one groaned.

Joey snickered "You two deserve it for stealing his shirt."

"Oh like you don't like seeing that man shirtless Joey" Bakura smirked.

"Who doesn't? That man is gorgeous" Marik chuckled.

Joey chuckled "Yeah, yeah he is."

"Who's the runt?" Bakura asked.

"He's not a runt, he's a squirt" Marik said throwing Bakura off his back to go inspect Yugi.

Bakura hit the floor with an 'oof' "Ya fucking wanker don't throw me next time!" Bakura groaned. Bakura got up off the floor and went over to inspect the little one that was standing next to Joey looking scared for his life while Marik was pinching his cheeks.

"You guys, c'mon, don't pick on Yugi!" Joey said.

"We're not pickin' on him" Marik chuckled. He stood between Joey and Yugi so he could continue his inspection.

"Yeah, we're just curious" Bakura said standing on the other side inspecting the little one.

"He kinda looks like Yami" Marik said. "He doesn't have his muscles, or his nice ass, though he has a nice ass too."

"Not that I don't like the compliments you guys, but leave the poor guy alone" Yami said from behind them. They turned and Yami had a I-can't-believe-you-guys-have-been-staring-at-my-butt look on his face. (A/N: Ya know the -.-' look :D)

"You ruin all the fun Yami" Marik whined.

"I know, I'm such a terrible person" Yami chuckled as he walked over.

"What are we having for dinner tonight Yami?" Bakura asked.

"Well, I figured since we have a new kid and today is Friday, we could order pizza" Yami said. "But... There's some cleaning that needs done before we can do tha-"

Marik and Bakura disappeared in a blur. "W-Where did they go?" Yugi asked looking shocked.

Yami chuckled "They most likely went to clean their rooms." Yami turned to Joey "Mind if I join you for the rest of the tour?"

"Of course not" Joey said with a grin on his face.

"Good. I may need your help Tuesday Joey." Yami said as they continued with the tour.

"Oh yeah, why's that?"

"Well, because I have three new kids coming in Tuesday. Two of them go to the same house, but the third doesn't, so I'd appreciate if you could help me with the third one."

"I'd be happy to help ya bud."

"Thanks."

"Anyway Yugi, the door back there that Yami went through earlier is the kitchen. The door at the back of the room at the left goes out to the back yard. The door there on the right goes to Yami's group of rooms, and the door on the left here goes up to our rooms."

"Who is Yami's group?" Yugi asked looking confused.

Yami smiled and Joey chuckled. "Well, ya remember earlier how I said there are two groups living here? Yami, Seto, Marik, Bakura, Duke, and Mai are in Yami's group. Ryou, Malik, Tristan, you, me, and Serenity are in my group" Joey explained.

"Oh. Why are there two groups? And aren't the girls supposed to be seperate from us?"

"Uh..." Joey tried but didn't have answers.

Yami chuckled "I think I can shed some light on that. The 'groups' as Joey called them aren't really anything to important, its just to keep the sides seperate and equal so that way people can be placed where they're comfortable. My group is basically a group of friends, we're a little rough though, so thats why we're placed together. Joey's group are great friends to have around and very supportive, which is why you'll be placed with them. You seem like the nervous type, so I'm sticking you where I think you'll be comfortable. And if I'm not mistaken Ryou and Malik are your friends." Yugi nodded "Okay. And as for the girls, their placed here to help keep us focused. Serenity is Joey's sister which is why she's over there with you guys. And Mai is a sisterly figure to all of us, which is why she is able to stay with my group."

"Oh."

"You'll get used to it" Yami said. "Joey, let's show him to his room so he can put his things in there while we finish the tour."

"Oh! Right!" Joey said smiling sheepishly.

They turned and went to the door at the left. A flight of stairs curved as it went up to the second floor. Yami noticed Yugi struggling with the black suitcase. He turned and grabbed it from Yugi "Let me help you with that" Yami said with a smile.

"Th-Thanks" Yugi said blushing as Yami walked past him with the suitcase in hand. 'Oh my gosh does this man even know what he's doing to me?' Yugi thought to himself.

They walked down the hallway and went into the third door on the right. "Why are there so many doors?" Yugi asked.

"Well, because the door to the right downstairs also leads up here. Just over there instead of over here" Yami explained.

"S-so those are your guys' rooms?"

Yami nodded "Mhm. Those are all our rooms."

"Oh."

"The walls in here are white, you're allowed to decorate it, paint it, do whatever you want to it, just so long as you paint it white before you leave this place" Yami told Yugi while opening the door to Yugi's room.

"Wow, its so cool here" Yugi said gazing around his room. There was a bed to the right big enough for two to sleep in, a desk was straight ahead with a dresser beside it, and to the left there was a closet.

Yami walked in and sat Yugi's suitcase on the bed. "Here ya go. I'll let you get settled in. You won't have to go to classes until Monday morning okay?"

"O-Okay, thanks."

"You're welcome. Feel free to hunt me down if you have any other questions okay?"

"Okay" Yugi said smiling.

"I'm sure Ryou and Malik will be barging through that door once they get out of class." Yami said turning to leave.

"Yami?"

"Hm?" Yami hummed turning back around.

"Why weren't you and Joey in class?"

"Joey just went back to class. And I don't go to class. I'm more or less a student advisor. I basically do the jobs the teachers aren't paid to do."

"Oh..."

Yami chuckled "Marik and Bakura don't have class till this afternoon. And we're ordering pizza for dinner tonight. You won't have to worry about fixing yourself anything except for lunch, I'll cook breakfast in the morning and dinner at night. Anything in the kitchen you can help yourself to, we usually do little parties on the weekend. Uh, laundry day is Friday. So, Thursday night you'll sit your laundry basket outside your door and Friday morning I'll be around to get it." Yami smiled a friendly smile at Yugi.

"Okay thanks" Yugi said.

"Any other questions?"

Yugi thought for a minute "No, I don't think so..."

Yami smiled "Okay, well, if you think of something I'll be somewhere around the house. My room is to the right, last door on the left. If you can't find me anywhere else, I'll be in there. And Monday I'll take you to your classes so that way I know you made it there."

Yugi nodded "Okay."

"Okay" Yami nodded. As he turned to leave the room Yami ran into the door frame. He blushed and smiled sheepishly at Yugi "Uh, theres a uh, door frame there.." He said laughing nervously he turned left and went down the hallway.

Yugi giggled at Yami. "Yami!" He yelled.

Yami popped his head back around the corner "Yeah?"

"Isn't your room that way?" Yugi asked pointing to the right.

Yami looked down the hall, blushing and smiling sheepishly again. "Yeah, uh, I, uh, guess it is..." He scooted (A/N: Ya know, stepping sideways with one foot while dragging the other...) across Yugi's doorway, waving to Yugi as he continued back down the hallway the right way.

Yugi giggled and shook his head. He turned around and began unpacking his belongings.

Me: And theres the end of chapter one :) Catch ya next time you guys :P *waves* bye! :)
