RL meeting with Gaara

[puzzlemasters]

*Yugi stands in the middle of a baseball field at dusk, Yami manifested by his side.  It had been Yami's idea, to meet their new friend at that time of evening, not knowing what his arrival would look like and figuring that the almost-twilight might be a good balace to mask any energies or other disturbances of the passage.  Not that they're expecting anyone to witness it anyway, but one can never tell.*

Yugi: *is nervous in spite of himself*

Yami: *usual arms-crossed pose - half the time a sign of at least slight discomfort himself . . . glances at his partner*  [Aibou . . . ]

Yugi: He'll be here.  I'm sure of it.

Yami: *small, wry grin*  [That's not what has you concerned . . . You wonder what he'll think of /me/.  Knowing the truth about me.]

Yugi: 6,6;;;;;;  I think . . . I think neither of us have ever quite told him . . . Nor told /anyone/ on the community for that matter.  Um, except for that mediator I was just talking to recently.

Yami: [I wouldn't worry about it, Aibou.  He'll think what he will.  We've not lied to anyone, nor deliberately deceived.  Just that I am not living.  Unless he's afraid of ghosts . . . ]  *shrugs - then turns over his shoulder, looking off to the side*

Yugi: Other-Me?

Yami: [I sense something.  I think he may have just arrived . . . ]

((quick question - is Gaara meeting Yami's eye at all, and just hasn't made the connection between him and what Gaara's sensing from Yugi in terms of the possible demonic presence? Gaara can see Yami, right? Cuz with Yami manifested, wouldn't Gaara be able to trace the energies /to/ Yami? Sense the link between them? Just wondering. ^^;;;;

Or . . . wait . . . is he sensing the Orichalcos Serpent? Or even /Zorc/ in the Puzzle?? >D *very likely possiblities too* **ebil** Neither of the boys are aware of Zorc, btw . . . though if pressed, Yami will admit he suspects there may well be such a presence. It'd certainly the nightmares Yami's suffered from for as long as he can remember. >3))

OOC note

(OOC: He's sensing Yami's presence, per our discussion. He just hasn't figured out whether or not the second entity is good. He guesses it might be a demon based on his own experience. The fact that Yami looks like Yugi doesn't really mean anything, as clones are abundant in the Naruto world.)

(OOC: *facepalm* Gotcha. "...as clones are abundant..." LOL - good point! Gaara's just confused Yami, who's not sure if he's been acknowledged or not. "So . . . can he see me or not? Must just be my wishful thinking...>.>" *pets him* Although . . . that /does/ bring up something else, come to think of it. I'd forgotten . . . Very likely Zorc's behind strong enough seals and boundaries that Gaara /wouldn't/ sense /him/ . . . but he /might/ sense the Serpent in addition to Yami. Up to you if we wanna bring that up. I'm cool either way. *picks pieces of brain up off floor*)
