Someone beyond my reach, someone reaching back for me...

It had been a while since Yami had left the house to do something fun. A lot of things he had only himself to thank for, and after his latest fight with Mana he decided to break his own cycle of negative thoughts and to go out, get some fresh air or something, anything just to get him out of the house. Not to flee, but to get his mind off from the

Though she hadn't been expecting to go out at all, it still hadn't taken Shizuka a long time to get ready. It was still warm outside, so she was taking advantage of the weather to wear a strappy shirt - showing more cleavage than Kaiba ever allowed her to show in public - and skirt, figuring she needed to be able to expose her skin depending on where she wanted a tattoo, if that was what she decided on

He was glad that he had made it in time; he was notorious for arriving late as Yami never carried a watch (didn't go with the wrist bracers) and he was too lazy to pull out his cell phone all the time to check it. Ironically, he didn't like to keep people waiting, so he was glad he arrived first, and only had to wait for Shizuka to show up. When had he taken the tattoo of the Winged Dragon of Ra? It had been a few weeks after he had returned from the Afterlife, right? It was only fitting that it was going to be joined by Osiris, his favorite after all

Shizuka grinned up at him, feeling rather happy and content now that she was around him. Yami always managed to have that affect on her, making her feel comfortable and soothe away any worries. He was a good friend, and she felt rather ashamed that she'd abandoned him - and, well, everyone else - for so long. She'd been buried in other things, letting her troubles stuff her in a closet, and only recently had she been able to fight her way out.

Only to run into more problems, but finally, things she could handle.

"I am? Oh good, I got lost so I thought I'd be late..." She bit her lower lip, glancing at the shop a little nervously before looking back up at him. He looked different somehow. A look of concentration crossed her face.

Nope, she couldn't place it. How frustrating.

"You ready?"

It was good to see her - there was something about Shizuka that always made him feel different, as if he didn't have a care in the world. He wanted her to have a good time, and went to great lengths to achieve it. Hopefully they could stay in better touch than they used to - Yami had been occupied with his own selfish issues, and felt ashamed he hadn't thought about his own friends that much. He still needed to congratulate Anzu on her performance...

...but at least now he could make it up with Shizuka, having a nice afternoon with her and maybe they could go out for dinner afterwards, he loved going out to eat.

"No no, you're good," he said, softly chuckling. "But I think the question is, are you ready? I already have one tattoo, and you don't." Yami winked at her. "Let's go inside and see what they have."
