Illness of the Heart
Chapter 1- Sickness
The brunette sighed as he stood still in the middle of his walk. He gazed up at the cloudy, gray sky, which seemed to fit the mood. He sighed again as he continued walking when he noticed a jagged stone on the ground. The Japanese boy bent down to pick it up and looked at it curiously. Suddenly, the foghorn of the cruise ship blew loud and echoed throughout the island.
Instantly, every muscle in the small boy tensed. His eyebrows furrowed in anger as he gripped harder on the rock.
"DAMN IT!" he screamed suddenly as he chucked the rock as hard as he could. It flew straight into the tree, and dug itself into it. His rage quickly subsided, as he just closed his eyes and sighed again. Nonchalantly slipping his hands in his pockets as he hung his head in depression, he continued towards the port.
----------------------
"Aniki!"
The brunette looked up and saw a small, sky blue-haired boy with glasses running up to him. He smiled, but when he looked up even further, that smile turned instantly into a frown.
There was…that ship… if it weren't for that ship… he wouldn't be feeling this way. Judai felt so much hate for that ship. He wished that ship would just blow up and sink into the depths of the dark unforgiving sea. He even wondered if it was possible to hate an inanimate object as much as he does.
"Aniki? What's wrong?" Sho asked, concern evident in his voice.
Judai looked back down at him and smiled. "Nothing Sho. Why aren't you with Johan and the others?"
Sho looked at Judai a bit curiously before speaking again. "Well, they are waiting for you at the docks. They told me to come wake you up cuz they thought you were still sleeping."
Judai's gaze narrowed a bit as he asked in a defensive tone, "You thought I was still sleeping?! On this day?!"
Sho just laughed nervously. "Well… you do tend to sleep in." Suddenly Sho froze for a second as he rubbed his chin. "That's strange…"
The brunette stopped glaring at him and observed him curiously. "What's strange Sho?"
"Well… Johan said the exact same thing you did."
"I said what?"
Judai froze. That voice… That glorious, magnificent voice. It eased the burden on his heart. Though, only temporary.
"Oh hey Johan. It was nothing, was just talking to Judai about stuff."
The bluenette smiled and nodded. He paused when he looked up and locked eyes with Judai.
Judai stared deeply into his emerald green eyes, as Johan stared back, equally entranced by Judai's honey brown eyes.
Sho looked at them both nervously. "Uh… you guys want some time alone?"
Judai replied without taking his gaze off of Johan. "That would be nice Sho…"
Sho continued staring at the two nervously, before breaking into a sprint, heading towards the docks.
The to continued staring at each other. Johan smiled and Judai did the same. "Well… I guess this is it Judai."
Judai's smile shrank, but he still kept it on his face. "Yea…" He turned his head to avert his gaze when he felt his eyes brimming with tears.
The European looked over Judai curiously. "Judai, are you crying?"
Judai stood up and stiffened. "W-What?! No! I'm not crying! I uh, something flew into my eye!"
Johan looked over Judai, a bit skeptical but smiled. "Well, then lemme see."
Suddenly, Johan pulled Judai's head over to him, in front of his face. He held his head underneath his, looking through his eyes.
Judai's face seemed to heat up a bit as he was being eyed by his best friend, although he didn't know why.
The older boy just continued staring into his eyes. He blew softly into them, then preceded to wipe away the tears on Judai's face that have seemed to escape. He pulled back and smiled at his brown haired friend. "There we go, it's gone."
Judai just continued staring dumbfounded at Johan. "Arigato…"
"Ne Judai, wanna take a walk through the woods? Just so we can have some alone time together. Don't worry I won't miss my boat trip."
"I wish you would…" Judai mumbled under his breath.
"What that?"
"Nothing!" Judai answered cheerfully as he started marching into the woods. "Hurry up Johan!"
The bluenette laughs as he chases after his friend.
-----------------
They walked together, laughing and chatting along the way. Talking about Duel Monsters and such.
"Ow!" Judai winced as he brought up his wrist. A nearby branch seemed to cut him.
"Judai! You cut your wrist!"
Judai gave Johan a reassuring look. "It's nothing, really!"
"Judai, you're such an idiot! We have to get that to stop bleeding now! You can die from that!"
"W-What?!" Judai panicked, and started running in circles.
"Judai stay still! You'll make yourself bleed faster!" Johan pulled Judai to him as he quickly ripped a part of his blazer off and wrapped it tightly around Judai's wrist. The European boy sighed in relief as he stood up. "Judai… You can be so clumsy…"
But then, suddenly Judai brought up a strange topic, but continued staring at his bandaged wrist.
"Ne Johan?"
"Yea?" Johan asked curiously as he raised an eyebrow.
"You're my best friend right?"
The European smiled as he placed his hand on Judai's shoulder and gave a little squeeze. "Always."
Judai didn't seem to smile, he continue asking questions. "So you like me right?"
"Well, yea…"
"Then why are you leaving?"
Johan's gaze softened immediately. "Judai… you know I would love to stay here with you…"
"Then why!" Judai pressed on, face twisted with countless emotions.
"Judai… Please… You know why… Don't make this any harder for me."
"No fair! Duel me! If I win you have to stay!"
Johan sighed exasperated. "Judai… Even if I would agree and lost, how would I convince them to let me stay?"
"Well then… I can hide you in my closet or something! I'll kidnap you!!! Please Johan! You're my best friend, you have to stay!"
"Judai, you're making this a lot harder on me…"
"Well if you can't stay, take me with you!"
Johan stumbled back and hit a tree. "W-What?!"
"I'm serious Johan! We're best friends! It hurts me so much to see you leave!" Judai cried out, tears streaming down his face.
"Judai… Please don't cry. It's become almost too hard as it is to leave you…"
"GOOD! I WANT TO MAKE IT EVEN HARDER! YOU HAVE TO STAY! I'LL MAKE YOU STAY! I'M GONNA FORCE YOU TO CO—mmmph!"
Judai was cut off as Johan forced his lips upon Judai's. Every muscle in the brunette's body tensed. He was filled with such confusion right now. He was a boy! He should be disgusted beyond explanation. But… It felt so right… Especially when Johan's tongue started to search his mouth. But slowly he was pulled away.
"Gomen Judai…"
Before Judai could even start speaking, Johan caught him in a one-armed embrace as his other arm held a folded piece of cloth over Judai's mouth. Suddenly, Judai felt fatigued as his eyelids became heavy, his vision blurring, his knees weak. If it weren't for Johan holding him, he would've collapsed. 'Why Johan… Why!!!' He wanted to scream those thoughts, but he was much too weak, and the cloth over his mouth prevented him from doing so anyhow.
"Sayonara…" Johan mumbled softly into Judai's ear as he pulled him closer to his body.
'Why… Johan…'
His last thought… before he fell into complete darkness…
---------------
"WHY!!! JOHAN WHY!" Judai screamed at the top of his lungs. His eyes opened widely as he quickly glanced around the room. He was covered in cold sweat and was panting heavily. The brunette calmed down as he finally realized where he was. He glanced at the clock. 9:35 p.m.
"Damn it… I can't forget that…" Judai mumbled as he held his forehead. He sighed again as he spun around in his chair that was in front of his computer desk. It was 3 years after that event. He was no longer in Duel Academy. He was a duelist in the pro-leagues. He lived in a good apartment. Nice landlord and tenants, as well as a TV and bed. Also a nice clean bathroom and a fridge.
But he had a slight money problem. Either he was getting worse at dueling, or others were getting better. He thought it was the first one. But either way, he needed money.
"Crap… I need a job…Why the hell didn't I think about this earlier?"
"And that's the result of this match! Up next would've been the Spellcaster duelist against the Elemental Hero duelist, but Yuki Judai seems to be out of commission due to an illness."
Judai glared at the TV before turning it off. "Oh right… I'm sick… that's why I have a blanket over me…"
He sighed as he turned back towards his desk and looked around until he noticed the small orange, plastic container. He popped the top and threw 2 pills into his mouth while finishing it off with a glass of water that was on his desk.
He sighed again as he fumbled around with some letters on his desk. "Well… might as well check my mail…"
He smiled as he read his get well cards from numerous friends. Bnut suddenly he came across a different letter. There was no return address or name. He opened it, and there was a small card. He opened it and read the text.
Hope you get better soon. I know you're going through a rough time. Here's some money to help you out.
Judai looked over the card, but that's all it said. He then looked into the envelope. Inside was a piece of paper. "Well, probably 500 yen…" But Judai's eyes went white as he saw the check. On it said 600,000 yen.
"What! Who would give me this kind of money?!" Judai's money rant was interrupted though, before it even began, when a "beep" sound came through his speakers.
Judai quickly glanced at his computer screen to see what happened. There was a little window that had popped up.
BlueLotus: Hey, sup choco
The brunette smiled widely as he saw who it was. He had met BlueLotus after Sho annoyed him to death to get AIM. He never learned who it was, but at times he hoped it was Johan. But after time passed, he learned more about him and where he lived. It couldn't be Johan. This guy was a medical student currently studying in America. Sho always seemed to urge him not to talk with strangers. But he and BlueLotus became great friends. And he helped Judai out a lot when he felt sad about Johan. Not that he told him about Johan of course.
ChocoNeko: Hey Lotus, nuthin much
BlueLotus: Is that so? Well if u were telling the truth about who u were, then I'd say you'd need some comforting right now.
ChocoNeko: wat are u talking about?
BlueLotus: Don't play dumb, I saw u lose to that other guy. Badly if I may add
ChocoNeko: Wow! Thx! I rly needed to remember that!
BlueLotus: Ahahahahahaha! YW!!!

BlueLotus: WTH?! NOOO!!! DON'T DO IT! I'M SRY!!!
ChocoNeko: Ahahahahaha! Jk jk!
BlueLotus: Dam ur manipulative…
ChocoNeko: I noe
Judai was gonna type some more when suddenly he coughed. He coughed more and more. He pounded his chest as he coughed into his other hand. When he stopped, he looked at his hand, there was a crimson liquid, lathering it.
"Oh my god…" Judai whispered softly. He quickly wiped his mouth clean of the blood.
BlueLotus: Hey? u there?
Judai took a quick sip of water before replying.
ChocoNeko: Yea I'm fine
BlueLotus: ur fine? What are u sik?
ChocoNeko: Yea…
BlueLotus: Omg! R u ok?!
ChocoNeko: seriously… I'm fine… I g2g, bb Lotus-kun
ChocoNeko has signed off
Judai sighed as he glanced back at his trash can. The blood smeared napkin on top of it…
