Beautiful Island Hawaii

By Liz

My experiment story is here! Yay. Basically, I wanted to see what would happen if I wrote another non-script story. Bomb, or no bomb? Hehe

Shounen-ai warning (of course, who's story are you reading? Hehe)

####

Hawaii. One of the few places that Yugi Mutou ever thought he would be. He just never pictured himself on the beautiful island that he had heard so much about. But here he was, in Hawaii…or, the Hawaii Airport.

"Come on Yugi!"

Yugi sighed. "Coming." Why was he here anyway? You could say it was a vacation. More like an invitation. His grandfather was an archaeologist…and as one, he worked under a very rich professor. During one of the excavations, the team of archaeologists that his grandfather just happened to be a part of, discovered something amazing. This, in turn, helped the professor out a lot with his fellow professors.

"Hawaii is such a beautiful place."

"Yeah."

Mr. Smith. Such a common name. But Yugi wasn't one to judge on names. Mr. Smith was the professor, and he was so grateful for the discovery that he decided to invite all who were on the team to his hotel in Hawaii. Sure, Yugi was happy that he got to go, and that he could invite two of his closest friends, Jounouchi and Honda, but there was just something about the island that made him feel a little down.

"Alright! Time to get our bags!" Jounouchi said.

Honda gave him a look. "You make it seem as getting bags is entertaining."

Jounouchi shot him one of his infamous grins. "Only when it can get us to the hotel faster."

Honda rolled his eyes. "Of course."

Yugi laughed at the sight in front of him. "You guys…" he said.

"What?" They said in unison. Yugi giggled again. He turned towards the baggage claim, awaiting his luggage. His grandfather, however, had already started, and had all of his bags aligned and ready to go.

"No fair." Jounouchi said.

"Well, if you two were paying attention, you would have realized sooner that your bags have already passed several times." Grandpa replied.

Yugi was still looking for his bag when something interesting caught his eye. It was a young man, about seventeen or so, walking along the crowd. Normally, this wouldn't have interested Yugi, but the stare he was receiving in return sprung his attention. Plus, there was just something about him…

He was soon snapped out of his trance when Jounouchi threw his bag at him. "Come on Yugi." He said. "We're going to the hotel!"

"Alright."

###

Yugi couldn't believe what he was seeing. The entrance of the hotel was beautiful. Straight ahead was a perfect view of the ocean, and all of the lovely trees and flowers. The entrance wasn't at all like a normal hotel. There was no roof, and there was an atrium of beautiful trees in the center of it all. The scent of the ocean was running through the building.

"Wow…" He heard Jounouchi say.

"Now there's something you don't see everyday." Honda said. "No wonder this place was dubbed as one of the most beautiful in the world."

"Yeah." Yugi replied, still staring.

"Well, we're all checked in." Grandpa said. "It's time we head to our rooms."

"Alright!" Jounouchi cheered.

Grandpa had received two rooms. One for himself, and the other for the three boys. They didn't mind this at all, in fact, it was what they were mostly hoping for. They entered their rooms, and Jounouchi went straight for the beds.

Yugi and Honda dragged their belonging into the room, and began to claim the different parts of the room as their own. Yugi has chosen a spot next to the window, and Honda chose the spot in the middle. Jounouchi; the spot by the TV.

"Remember boys," Grandpa said as they were getting settled. "The banquet begins at four o'clock."

"Alright." The chorused. "I totally forgot about that banquet." Jounouchi said. "I think I brought something nice to wear…"

"Idiot." Honda said, looking through his suitcase for his nice suit. Not only has Mr. Smith invited them to the hotel, but he was also hosting a humongous banquet in honor of the team. Yugi didn't really enjoy this at all. He knew that it was just going to be a lot of talking, and eating. And the fact that Mr. Smith had decided to sit with them at dinner.

Yugi fished out his ensemble and headed into the bathroom, leaving Jounouchi and Honda to fight over whatever it was that had got them started.

###

Yugi stared at his reflection in the mirror. It was almost time for the banquet, and he just knew that he was going to be on stage. Grandpa just loved to tell everyone how his grandson was the reigning champion of Duel Monsters in Japan. Yugi thought that it wouldn't really matter, seeing as this was an archaeologists banquet, but his grandfather didn't care. What his grandfather didn't know is that being the Duel Monsters Champion wasn't that recognizable of a title. He sighed as he straightened his tie. 'This is going to be one boring night.'

"Why do I have to go through this?" He questioned himself. His reflection gave no reply. Just a sad blank stare that Yugi was sure that he was returning.

A loud knocking startled Yugi out of his thoughts. "Hurry up Yugi! We're going to be late!"

"Coming Honda."

###

The banquet hall was just as beautiful as the hotel itself, consisting of open balconies and a lovely view of the sunset. It was on the third floor, and consisted of about a hundred people, all sitting in parties of two or three at their own little tables.

A waitress led the four to a table in the center of the hall. They were to be joining Mr. Edward Smith, much to Yugi's dismay.

"I want all of you to be courteous to Mr. Smith. He worked very hard so he could hold this banquet." Grandpa said. "Yes sir." Was his reply.

Yugi sat down in a chair at the end of the table, looking out towards the ocean. His down feeling had returned, and he wasn't feeling all that well.

"Yugi? Are you alright?" Grandpa questioned.

"Yeah…" Yugi said, his voice trailing as his eyes saw something vaguely familiar. "I'm fine…"

"Yugi?"

Before he knew it, Yugi was on his feet, running out of the hotel.

###

Yugi strolled alongside the hotel, looking around. He could have sworn he saw--he shrugged it off. "I guess not." His feet led him over to an ocean side cliff, with a perfect view of the sunset.

"I thought you might be here."

Yugi spun around to see who was talking to him and was instantly taken aback A teen, who looked remarkably like him, only slightly taller, was standing in front of him, arms crossed, and a small smirk on his lips. "What do you mean…"

"I saw you earlier. You were with the famous Sugoroku Mutou." The boy said. "Everyone here knows who he is."

Yugi put his hands on his hips. "Is that so?"

"Yes."

Yugi sighed. "Sometimes I wish he wasn't. It drives me insane every time someone asks me if I'm related to Sugoroku Mutou. No one even knows who I am."

"I know who you are."

"Really?" Yugi said, stepping back. "I'd be surprised if you did…"

"Hey, watch out!"

Suddenly, a rock from underneath his foot slipped, and he lost his balance, falling back toward the cliff. Yugi didn't even have anytime to register what was happening as the stranger grabbed his hand, and Yugi was pulled back onto his feet.

The event lasted all but three seconds. Yugi blinked. 'Did this guy just save my life?'

"You should be a little more careful around these cliffs…"

Yugi looked down at the hand that the stranger was still holding. He blushed and pulled his hand away. "Yeah…I guess."

The boy put his hand in his pocket. "So, what are you doing out here anyway? Shouldn't you be inside at the banquet?"

"I could say the same thing about you?"

The stranger blinked. "How would you know?"

Yugi smiled. "This whole hotel was reserved for this 'special' occasion. If you weren't here for that, you wouldn't even be here."

"Very observant." The teen looked out at the ocean. "I'm really not into the whole archaeologist thing." He turned his gaze back at Yugi. "And you sure aren't either."

"Yeah."

"I guess you could say we have something in common."

"Yeah."

The taller frowned. "Something on your mind?"

Yugi sighed, turning away. "Nothing much. Just wondering if you really do know me…"

The stranger smiled. He opened his mouth to answer, but was but off by another. "Yugi!? Where are you!?"

Yugi sighed. "I'm going to have to go." He turned back around to say goodbye, but was surprised to find that his savior was gone. Yugi looked around puzzled. 'Where did he go?'

At that moment, his grandfather walked up, grabbing his hand and pulling him back to the banquet. "Come on Yugi. The banquet is about to start, and I don't want you to miss it!" Yugi allowed his grandfather to drag him back, as his mind was on something, or rather someone, else.
