1. Default Chapter

Disclaimer: I am proud to tell you that I am NOT the owner of Yu-Gi-Oh or the merchandise nor the game Duel Monsters. Never before have I ever THOUGHT of making such a show, nor do I have the intelligence to DO so (Plus if I made Duel Monsters I'd have a ten times better deck then I do now...). O.o So without further a due, I bring to you, (Hey that rhymes! O_o) my very own, half assed and cute as a button fanfic! =^^= Enjoy!

Yu-Gi-Oh (The official cute as a button Fanfic... .)

It was your normal every day.. day at Domino High. Yugi Motou was sitting quietly at his desk reading his assigned book for English. Boy, what a boring book it was too! It was very pointless even. But he wasn't the one for complaining. Well usually. But his counter part on the other hand was the one to do the complaining.
Yugi's taller and more.... Punk-ish version of himself (Ahem the spirit that came from his puzzle..) sat only two seats to his right, attempting to do anything BUT read the book assigned to him. He would mess with his math homework, fiddle with his deck, or even try and take a nap, but with every attempt to lure himself away from the book the teacher caught him and scolded him in front of the class.
Of course his pride was being threatened when the class would laugh at him. He almost wanted to throw the teacher into the shadow realm for her stupidity, but one thing kept him from doing so, and that was his little aibou sitting two seats to the left of him. Oh he hated it when he could be controlled by such an adorable little mini-him like that. All well.. He did hate making the younger boy angry at him anyways. Maybe he would do it when no one was watching him.
Yugi watched Yami pretend to read, but was in all actuality about to fall asleep from boredom. But Yugi couldn't blame him, for he too was feeling a little sleepy. Then the three o'clock bell rang through out the school and Yami jumped to his feet ready to get the hell out of this hell hole called School.
The rest of the class followed suit and the teacher shouted above the students' talking and noises of scrapping chairs. This was all Yugi could hear, "Remember, class, -- Is due on the --." Yugi slumped as he grabbed his nap-sack and began to make his way up to the teacher to find out what exactly was due on what day. But then Yami came up and quickly put his arm around the smaller's shoulder and steered him towards the door.
Yugi blinked and looked up to Yami with a slight blush. "Y-yami I have to ask the teacher something." he began to protest. "Aw, ask her tomorrow, lets go get a burger!" He said with a lopsided smile.
Yugi just sighed and shrugged lightly. No use in arguing with the Pharaoh now was there. Then Joey came up from behind them with hunger in his eyes. "Did I hear one of you say Burgers?" he asked as he slung his backpack over his shoulder. Yami looked to Joey and raised an eyebrow and he shrugged a little, holding his aibou closer to him now. "Maybe, why?" he asked Joey in a serious manner.
Yugi blushed a little as he just relaxed a little now, forgetting about what he wanted to ask the teacher. He listened to the other two argue a little and said nothing, knowing that whenever those two began arguing about places to eat and hang out they could never agree. But Yami almost always got his way unless Yugi said other wise.
Then he felt Joey nudge him from the other side. "What do YOU think Yugi?" he then asked snapping Yugi back to reality. "About what?" he asked in a cute manner, smiling once more. Yami snickered to himself knowing this was his chance to eat where he wanted to. "About eating at the Burger World! We can bug Tea there, it would be fun!" said Yami as Joey's jaw dropped and then he glared at Yami.
"Hey now, that's the ONLY reason you wanna go there! You know ever since you told Tea you didn't want to be her boyfriend and told her she miss-treated yer little "aibou" you two do ANYTHING but get along!" Joey said in one long breath which left Yugi and Yami silent. Hey it WAS true. Ever since that Christmas party a year ago when Tea tried to take Yami away from Yugi Yami hated her more then anything. Especially because she told him nothing but lies and even smacked him TWICE!

Later that day Yugi was off in his room doing his homework and he could only guess Yami was cleaning the card shop for Yugi's grandpa. Yami really did have two personalities, Yugi could swear this on his life. Yami tried looking like the class clown, a normal teen at school, but when it came to being in public, or at home he really was his normal old serious, generous and caring self.
Yugi sighed and leaned back in his desk chair and frowned some to himself having problems with his science homework. He sat there and sat there and thought long and hard but couldn't figure the question out for the life of him. It was one of those take home tests the class rarely got after they got done with an experiment in class.
But just as he was about to skip it and come back to it later Yami came up from behind and put his arms around the younger's shoulders and rested his chin there. "Still doing your homework, aibou?" he asked lightly as Yugi flushed a bit.
Yugi nodded a little and tried to concentrate on the task at hand but when Yami nibbled lightly on his ear it became very hard to do. Yugi almost melted on the spot dropping his pencil and felt shivers go down his back. "Ya-Yami.. I'm trying to f-finish this.." Yugi protested quietly.
Yami smirked to himself. His little Yugi was the type that liked to get things done when they needed to be, and that was part of the fun of getting his attention. In the end it was all a big game to Yami and like always he would win. "It's not due till next Friday, Yugi." Yami replied as he went back to nibbling on his ear before moving down to plant kisses the boy's neck.
Things might have gone further if it weren't for the old man downstairs. "Boys! Dinner's ready!" came Sugoroku's voice. Curse that old fart, thought Yami to himself. He slowly let go of Yugi and stood to his full height of 5'5. Yugi, flushing in the cheeks a deep shade of red got to his feet too. Yami began to leave the room and as he turned the corner from Yugi's room Yugi heard him say, "I'll get you later, aibou." in a teasing yet serious type of way.
Yugi just straightened out his white collared button up shirt that was part of his school uniform and soon walked out the door to join them for dinner. That Yami was very persistent he would give him that much, and though part of him told him to wait, another side wished Yami would push him further. But he knew Yami wouldn't make him do something he didn't want to do. That was one thing that he loved about Yami.
Down in the living room where the three usually ate and watched TV Yugi sat himself on the couch next to Yami while Sugoroku was sitting in the chair with the TV remote. Yami handed Yugi his plate, and on it was fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy. After saying, "Bon appetite" they began to eat as Yugi's Grandfather began to channel surf. "So, things going ok in school?" asked Sugoroku. Yami nodded a little. "Yep, we're coming closer to finals, I can't wait!" said Yugi.
His grandpa just smiled a bit, knowing what Yugi couldn't wait for. This summer, Yugi and Yami were going on a road trip by themselves. It seemed rather exciting. But being the worried adult, Sugoroku hoped to heaven that those two wouldn't go and do things they weren't supposed to do just because they were out on there own for the summer. But at the same time he trusted Yugi and Yami to do the right thing when it came to it.
After they ate they all sat there watching a movie on the sci-fi channel, Yugi all cuddled against Yami hiding his face every now and then from the "scary" scenes. Yami didn't mind this at all though. He found it to be adorable in a way. He had his arm around Yugi's shoulder holding him close to himself while he felt Yugi's arms around his waist, his head resting lightly on his chest. So cute.
Yugi then realized he still had to finish his math homework that was due in the morning and looked up to Yami with a slight frown that said, "sorry." Yami raised an eyebrow in slight confusion. "I have to finish my math homework before I forget.." Yugi said in a whisper. Yami only nodded, letting his aibou go.
Yugi leaned up and kissed the other once real quick before jumping to his feet and rushing up to his room to finish his homework. Yami slumped on the couch and sighed in a pouty manner, which was rare for him, but he was really beginning to hate this end of the year homework crap. It was keeping his Yugi too busy lately.
But all well, he guessed that this road trip they had been planning would make up for it. Two and a half months all to themselves, it aught to be fun.

It was later into the evening when Yami finally went up to Yugi's room to see if he was ok. He marched up the stairs and around the corner and moved down the hall passed the old man's room and shortly passed his room and then stopped at the door way to Yugi's room and peered inside.
There was a single lamp on inside the room, and that was the desk light. Yugi was busy writing away at his homework trying to get as much done as possible. Yugi wondered half the time how Tea got her homework done, worked and went to school all at once half the time. But then Yami had once said to him, "Very carefully."
"Hey, you've been up here for two hours, your not still working on your math are you?" asked Yami from the door way. Yugi blinked and looked behind his shoulder and smiled a little at Yami. "No, I'm working on science again." he said with a short yawn.
Yami frowned and sighed as he entered the room and sat on the boy's bed. "Yugi.. your going to stress yourself out needlessly if you don't relax.." Yami said quietly. Yugi stood up, stretching a little before sitting next to Yami on the bed. He lightly shrugged. "Maybe." was his only reply.
Yami lied back, his legs hanging off the bed, his arms folded behind his head and closed his eyes a little. "You've been too busy lately.. I almost have to wonder if something's the matter.." Yami then said. Yugi blinked and looked down at Yami and shrugged a little. "No, nothings wrong. Maybe I'm just stressed about finals.. I dunno." was all Yugi said.
Silence fell between the two, Yami still lying back, his eyes closed, and Yugi sat next to him thinking of this that or the other thing. Yugi then just lied down on top of Yami, which surprised him a little, and Yugi pressed his lips against the other's and lightly kissed him fully.
Yami blinked a little but slowly put his arms around Yugi's waist keeping him there and kissed him back and even deepened it a little. But after a brief moment Yugi did pull away and sighed some contently as he then just rested his head on the other's shoulder.
Yami just held him lightly stroking the small of his back. "I'm sorry if I've seemed to have ignored you, Yami.. I just wanted to keep caught up with everything, you know?" came Yugi's soft voice. Yami simply nodded in turn. He lightly kissed Yugi's forehead in turn and replied, "I know, aibou.. I know."
Yami could hear Yugi's soft breathing now that the room had filled with silence and just lied there, still holding the other by the waist. He was trying to figure out what to do to help his Yugi from being so busy. He could tell that Yugi was stressed by the way he had been acting lately. He wasn't as playful, in a seducing type of sense, and he wasn't as cheerful. It almost scared Yami into thinking it was something he did.
Yugi then lightly rested his hand in the middle of Yami's chest feeling it rise up and down in rhythm of his breathing and closed his eyes. "What'cha thinking, Yami?" he then asked breaking the silence.
Yami lightly shrugged. "I don't know. About how to help you relax I guess.." Yugi looked up to Yami and smiled lightly. He then rested his head on Yami's shoulder again and lightly ran his fingers in circles on the others chest now, feeling the silky smoothness of Yami's black sleeveless shirt. "Well I'm relaxed now.." Yugi finally said.
Yami smiled a little. Yugi did seem more relaxed now then he had in at least a week and a half. It almost seemed like a miracle or something. Before anything else could be said Sugoroku popped his head from around the corner and gave the boys a big old smile that he usually gave anyone. "I'm going to bed, so you boys don't go making alot of noises!" he said with a joking tone and a small wink before disappearing down the hall and shutting the door to his room after going in.
Yugi just flushed as Yami smirked. Yugi's grandpa was pretty lax and open minded when it came to their relationship then most adults would be, that was for sure. Or maybe it was only because of his un-conditional love for his grandson that made him except it. Who knew?
But now Yami was in a teasing mood having heard a slight hint of an "ok go for it" type of thing from Yugi's grandpa. He suddenly moved and pinned Yugi to the bed. It was a gentle pin, nothing Yugi couldn't squirm away from. Yugi blinked and flushed even more seeing Yami's smirks. But he gave no signs of resistance, that was for sure.
"I did say I would get you later, my Yugi.." Yami said in a half joking yet half suggesting manner. Yugi then did squirm, but only a little. Yami wasn't sure if it was a half attempt to look like he didn't want to do what was on Yami's mind or if he really did want to. "But Grandpa's right next store.." Yugi said trying to keep a small smile from his lips.
Now Yami knew that Yugi was half assing his way out. "Well you heard him, just don't make too many loud noises." Yami whispered in Yugi's ear as he began to nibble at the lobe. Yugi's biggest soft spots, and Yami knew it too. Yugi melted on the spot and gave out a very quiet moan. "Ya-yami.." he began in protest but then stopped as if he no longer wanted to argue.
Yami, no longer feeling any protesting or hearing any stopped to look at Yugi. He saw the boy royally flushed and blinked a little. "What no more protests?" Yami asked almost confused. Yugi just shrugged a little. He really didn't know himself, but all he knew was that he was curious to find out what Yami was so itching to get from him.
Yami ran his hand lightly down Yugi's cheek and gave him a reassuring smile. "You know that you don't have to if you don't want to.." he replied. He knew Yugi only loved to make Yami happy, even if it meant that he wasn't. Yugi gave him a small smile back and again shrugged. "I dunno.. I kinda do though.. just a little nervous about it, I guess." was all Yugi said.
Yami just continued to smile and then his fingers ran down the side of the younger's neck. "You sure?" he then asked wanting to be a hundred percent on this. He sure the hell didn't want to force Yugi into something he'd regret. Yugi simply nodded. "Positive.." he said as he grabbed Yami's wondering hand and kissed it lightly before placing it on his chest where his heart would be. Yami, being just a little hesitative, leaned in to kiss at the boy's neck while his hand began to undo Yugi's shirt.
So, tonight he would really know how it would feel to really love someone. Yes, Yugi knew he loved Yami, and yes he would do anything for him, but now that small hollow space would be completed from doing something with the other that others had experienced.. and then he would feel complete..

Yugi turned onto his side and groaned a little as he heard someone knocking on his door. He tried to ignore it but the knocking came again, and a little louder this time. Yugi then acknowledged the person on the other side of the door by throwing an extra pillow at the door with a soft thud and it landed to the floor. Boy what a cranky guy he was in the morning..
"Come on Yugi! Time to get up and get ready for school!" Came his grandfathers voice from the other side. "Alright.." came Yugi's groggy voice as he rolled onto his back, still not opening his eyes. He stretched some, his arms up over his head, and stretched his legs out as far as they could go too. He then let his arms flop down into whatever position they so desired. While his left arm returned to his side the other flopped onto his chest.
That's when he got a little confused, his memories of last night still not catching up with him. Under his hand he felt that familiar silky smoothness. Now where had he felt that before? He then slowly opened his eyes and looked down to find himself wearing the shirt Yami had worn on the previous night. THEN his memories caught up to him of his and Yami's activities. Boy did he get red in the face when remembering certain things.
He then heard a soft groan next to him and looked to his side to see Yami pulling the covers over his head as the sun began to rise and hit him in the face with light. Yugi's redness then faded and he smiled lightly. He moved over up against Yami, pulling the blanket away from him and lightly kissed him on his bare shoulder. Another soft groan was what he got and he giggled to himself. "Yami, wake up, we'll be late for school.." Yugi said with a light yawn.
Yami blinked his eyes several times and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. "What time is it?" he asked in a groggy voice. Yugi peered over the other's shoulder and glanced at the clock. "Six-thirty.. But we should get up and stuff.." Yami only nodded as he sat up, stretching and yawning.
Yugi blinked noticing that Yami wasn't really wearing anything but then giggled at realizing that the reason for his nudity was because Yugi stole his shirt AND his boxer shorts. But Yami didn't seem to notice nor care as he got up and grabbed his leather pants from across the room and shimmied them on.
Yugi just watched him in silence seeing the sunlight gleaming down onto Yami, it almost made him look like an angel. Yami blinked and looked himself over. "What? Is something wrong?" he asked actually sounding adorable. Yugi shook his head and smiled. "No.. Just half asleep still." he lied. Yami shrugged some and opened the door to the room and looked down the hall way as if worried about getting into trouble by the old man for staying the night and doing... certain things in Yugi's room.
Seeing the coast was clear he turned to Yugi and waved a little. "I'm gonna shower." He said as he left the room. He slowly made his way down the hall and again yawned. he then turned the corner to enter the bathroom when Sugoroku came up the stairs. "Did you SLEEP in those pants last night? God, wouldn't that hurt??" asked the old man.
Yami rolled his eyes at him thinking how naive can one get and closed the door behind him and turned the water on. He then looked into the mirror and looked himself over. He was surprised that Sugoroku didn't notice the hickeys he had received on the chest and shoulders... Oh well, what the old man don't know can't hurt him..
It was an hour later and Yugi was now getting himself dressed. He had just gotten out of the shower and was busy looking for a clean white shirt for school. He eventually found one and moved in front of the mirror while putting on the shirt. He too had quite a few hickeys from Yami and only smiled a little. He almost felt like cherishing these things.
He fixed the collar before buttoning up his shirt and noticed one hickey still pocking out of his shirt. He simply shrugged it off and threw on his school jacket. He then grabbed his Millennium Puzzle from off his hook on the wall and hung it around his neck.
He lightly held the puzzle in his hands a bit admiring it. He then smiled and let it hang loosely around his neck and grabbed his book bag and headed down to the game shop and looked around for Yami. They usually walked to school with each other so Yugi wasn't going anywhere just yet.
He then heard someone fumble down the stairs and turned around to see Yami tripping over himself and almost lose his balance. Yugi blinked a little and raised an eyebrow. "You ok?" he asked as Yami brushed himself off, straitening out his rather tight fitting plain white shirt. He then adjusted his jacket and nodded some. "Ya, just having a clumsy morning.." he said in slight embarrassment.
Yugi went over to Yami and grabbed a dust bunny off of his shoulder and tossed it aside. "That's ok, happens to me all the time." Yugi said with a smile. Yami just smirked as he put his arm around the smaller's shoulder and they began to walk out the door.
"So, did you sleep ok last night?" Yami asked almost blushing. It was rare to see Yami blush. Yugi nodded to him. "Like a rock." he replied as he nuzzled up against Yami in content. Yami just smiled and they just continued to make there way to school.

Two and a half weeks went by now and they were now approaching the final week of school. While things had gotten a little more stressful for the students, Yugi had been able to pay less and less attention to almost anything for he was busy studying or.. Seeing Joey.
Yami sighed and rested his chin in the palm of his hand while that hand was supported by his elbow resting on the desk. He had grown rather suspicious of this whole thing between Yugi and Joey. He wasn't sure what was going on but Yugi had gone and snuck out with Joey, or just suddenly disappeared after school with Joey and so on..
Yami had grown quite upset with this and wanted to know what was going on. Suddenly a piece of chock bounced off of his head and landed on his desk top and he blinked looking up at the chock throwing assailant. It was none other then the teacher.
"Yami! Quite daydreaming and pay attention! I asked you a question!" The teacher shouted. The class stared at Yami in silence as he glared at the women. "Ya and?" he asked in a rather irritated manner. Yugi blinked and gulped to himself. Yami hadn't seemed all that happy in the last couple of days and he didn't understand why.
The teacher glared back at the teenager and folded her arms across her chest. "Don't be giving ME any attitude mister, or you and your attitude can go see the principle about detention." she warned him. Yami blew it off like it was no big deal. "Whatever." he said under his breath.
The teacher shook her head and sighed. She then looked to another student to answer her question. Yugi blinked in disbelieve and felt a little worried about Yami. What was going on with him he was unsure of and didn't know if he should prod into it.
Now the teacher noticed Yugi staring blankly at Yami as if he were trying to figure out what was wrong with him. She then began to feel a bit concerned, but didn't say anything.

The school bell had rung and the class was scurrying about to go home. Yami stood from his chair and glanced at Yugi who was talking to Joey for a moment. He noticed Joey slump a little and say something back and then turned and headed out the door.
Yami grumbled to himself starring at Joey a bit as he disappeared from sight and headed out the door too. He was making his way down the hall to leave the school when he heard someone calling for him. He looked around his shoulder to see Yugi come up on his left side. "Yami, what's the matter with you?" asked Yugi as they stopped in the hall.
Yami sighed and shrugged. "Nothing." was all he said and began to walk again. Yugi blinked and stared at Yami as he stopped again. "No wait. Something IS wrong." he said as Yugi again went up to him. "Wha-what is it?" Yugi asked a little nervous of Yami's apparent anger. Yami paused and looked to one side before suddenly slamming his hand against the locker next to Yugi making the boy jump and press himself into the other locker.
Yugi blinked and stared at Yami in slight shock at his sudden outburst. He hadn't seen the Pharaoh this angry since some guy beat Yugi up for some cash. "What's the deal between you and Wheeler as of lately?!" he then shouted catching the attention of other students.
Yugi blinked in confusion and nervous-ness. "Wha-what do you mean?" asked Yugi in a small voice. "Don't be playing any games, Yugi! I mean how you two go sneaking off after school, how you lied THREE times to me about running errands for your grandpa!" Yami continued to shout now sounding more hurt then anything.
Yugi put his hands up in defense and looked around at the starring students. "Yami.. people are starring." Yugi said in a quiet tone. Yami then backed off after a moment and folded his arms across his chest and sighed some trying to relax. "If something's going on between you and Wheeler you should at least let me know..." Yami said more quieter.
Yugi blinked in surprise. Him having an affair with Joey? Now that sounded weird. "Yami, nothing's going on between me and Joey." Yugi said in reassurance. Yami looked down at Yugi and raised an eyebrow. "Then what IS going on?" he asked still not believing him.
Yugi shook his head a little and straightened out his shirt. "I'm helping him with his math.. He needed someone to trust with his problem.. He's not very good at math and needed help so I told him I would help." Yugi began to explain. Yami blinked a little. But there was something more to this, Yami knew it. "I promised him I wouldn't tell anyone because he felt embarrassed about it." Yugi then finished.
Yami gave him another look like there was more and Yugi frowned a little. "What else, Yugi? I need to know.." Yami protested softly. It wasn't a want it was a need. He needed to know everything before he could relax. Yugi sighed and opened his mouth to continue. "Well, don't say I said this.. but Joey and Kaiba.. needed help with there relationship as well.." Yugi said quietly looking around as if expecting one of the two to pop out and murder him.
Yami's eyes went wide in shock. Wheeler and Kaiba? Together? He then suddenly bursted out laughing and Yugi blinked. "Yami! Shh! Everyone will figure it out!" Yugi said now really expecting one of the two to come around the corner and beat him in the head with a giant hammer.
Yami tried so hard to stop but it took him a moment to finally calm down. Boy he hadn't laughed so hard since the time Kaiba got a pie to the face in a school picnic. "Oh God! Are you serious?! Those two? They can't even stand being in the same room at the same time!" Yami said starting to laugh again.
Yugi frowned in shame and whimpered a little. "Yami.. That's why I'm helping them.." he said lightly. Yami again started to calm down, now relaxing and feeling more relieved. Good, so Yugi hadn't betrayed him. He would've died if that had happened.
Silence fell between the two as the hall had grown almost empty. Yami then put both his hands on either side of Yugi trapping him against the locker again and gave him a sheepish, "I'm sorry" smile. Yugi blinked and was about to ask Yami what he was doing but then he was cut short when he felt Yami press his lips against Yugi's and flat out kissed him in front of whoever was wandering the halls. Shit, Yami could care less, but Yugi was afraid of getting in trouble.
But Yugi really couldn't resist in the end and they ended up sharing a passionate kiss. Once again they had caught the attention of some students who stopped and was surprised that the two were.. kissing each other that way. A couple of the girls' jaws had dropped in shock that Yami was that way, but wasn't very surprised that Yugi was.
Yami slowly pulled away from Yugi and lightly ran his hand down his cheek. "Sorry I doubted you aibou.." he said lightly. He then remembered the scared look on Yugi's face that he caused and shuddered. "And sorry for scarring you... I just lost my temper." he said in a shamed manner.
Yugi looked up to him and lightly kissed him again. "It's alright... I understand.." he replied as he picked up his nap-sack that he had dropped. He then smiled and grabbed Yami by the arm and began to drag him along. "Come on! Let's go see a movie!" he said in a now cheery manner.

There was a sharp "RING!!" and there were shouts of joy as the halls suddenly were flooded with students. Kids were tossing old school work, papers, and pencils and a hell of alot of other things onto the hall floors. Kids shouted and ran a muck trying to escape school for the summer.
Yes it was now Summer Vacation. And that meant that Yami and Yugi would soon be off on there long awaited road trip. Yami waited by the door for Yugi to show up. He knew he was probably talking to random kids and he was being a good little patient person for him. (O_o) Well he knew that Yugi was saying bye to his friends before his big trip so ya.
"Ok, I'll call ya when I get back home!" came Yugi's voice as he trotted up to Yami all smiles. Yami smiled back at him and readjusted his backpack. "Ready to go home?" he asked as he saw a group of three kids leave the class room chatting about this that or the other thing.
Yugi nodded and Yami began to lead the way. Yugi followed him, wrapping his arms around Yami's left one and rested his head on his shoulder and sighed contently. "We need to make a list of food to bring when we get home. Your Grandpa told me he'll buy us that much and maybe a couple other things but the rest is up to us to get." Yami said as he continued to lead the way. "Alright. Did you get Grandpa's car checked out to see if it was good to go?" Yugi then asked.
Yami nodded and pushed open the door that led them to freedom. "Yep, it's fixed up and ready to hit the road." he answered. Silence had fallen between the two of them now, but that was ok. They were just happy enough to be together without any hassles now. But then again they may have thought too soon.
"Yuuuugi!" came an all too familiar voice. Yami and Yugi stopped and Yami slumped a little. "Damn that Wheeler, can't he leave you alone for one second?" Yami said in a pouty manner. Yugi just buried his face in Yami's arm as if to hide himself and groaned. He was thinking the same thing at this point.
"Hey, Yug!" Joey shouted again finally catching up to them. Yugi counted to ten in his head and looked to Joey with a fake smile plastered to his face. All he wanted to do was go home, prepare for the road trip, and be with Yami. Was this too much to ask for? "Yes, Joey?" he asked all calmly.
Joey cleared his throat and tugged at Yugi a little. "I need to ask you something without yer precious boyfriend listening in." He whispered, though Yami did hear him and gave him a warning glare. Yugi patted Yami a little and followed Joey over to a tree about five feet away.
Yugi turned to look at Joey desperate to get whatever it was he needed done. "What is it, Joey? I need to get home and get ready for my trip.." Yugi said. Joey fiddled with his hands a little and turned a light colour of red. "Well.. I was wondering if you thought it was a good idea to go on my own trip with Kaiba.. It was his idea, ya see, but I wasn't sure.." Yugi rolled his eyes a little and then shrugged a little. "I dunno, Joey, it sounds good to me and all, maybe you guys could get a little closer together, who knows.. But can I go now?" he asked as he looked back at Yami who was now being pestered by Tea.
Damn, that girl wouldn't take no for an answer he swore! "Ya, sorry fer bothering you.. It's just Mokuba thought it wouldn't be good because of Kaiba's work ya know? But anyways, better go myself." Joey turned and began to run off in the other direction. "See ya next school year, Yug! Good luck!" Yugi smiled a little and waved. "Yup, you too Joey." he said back and turned to rescue Yami from Tea.
He walked up to Yami, still un-noticed by him and Tea and heard Yami saying "No way" to her. Yugi cleared his throat now to get their attention and once more wrapped his arms around Yami's arm, but more in a defensive, "He's mine" type of way. "Yami, let's go home now.." Yugi whimpered pulling him away.
Yami nodded and gladly was drug off in another direction and Tea growled loudly and turned and stomped away. Yami sighed in relief and Yugi now let go of him. "I swear she just wont leave me alone!" Yami stated. Yugi nodded lightly and only smiled. "That's why I came up when I did."
Yami shoved his hands in his pockets and looked to Yugi. "So, what did Joey want this time?" he asked. Yugi shook his head and waved his hand a little. "Oh just had a stupid question." he answered. Yami merely shrugged.

It was now Five in the morning as they loaded up the car. It was actually an SUV but a nice one, had plenty of room AND gas mileage. Yugi climbed into the passenger seat and gave off a small yawn. He really wasn't used to waking up this early, even DURING the school year. He closed the door and buckled himself in and began digging through a backpack for a CD to pop in. He found one that Yami liked and slid it in the slot.
Yami then climbed into the drivers seat and buckled himself in. He turned the car on as Yugi's Grandpa came around to the drivers side and knocked on the window. Yami blinked and rolled it down to see what he needed.
"You boys behave yourselves and be careful too. The last thing I need to hear on the nine o'clock news is about a car wreck on the highway with you two being the dead victims.." he said. Boy, what a cheery mood he was in, right? Yugi waved at his Grandpa and smiled non-the-less. "Don't worry! We'll be fine!" Yugi said and Yami nodded in agreement. "I'll make sure we get around safely." he added.
Sugoroku smiled and sighed. "I knew I could trust you, Yami. You two have fun." He said as he began to back away from the car. "Oh ya! Before I forget! Don't forget to call me as soon as you reach Kyoto, all right??" he said with a wave. Yami chuckled and Yugi waved to his Grandpa. "Ok! We will! Bye!" Yugi shouted out the window as Yami backed out of the drive way.
Once they were out of the drive way and pointed in the direction they wanted to go they were off. Yugi turned on the CD he had put in and had the volume down real low incase Yami wasn't quite awake enough for music. "We should be in Kyoto by.." Yami paused trying to figure out how long it would take to get there. "Probably about 6:00-ish this evening. That's our time too, not Kyoto's." Yami finished. Yugi nodded a little in turn.
The trip went along with no problems. They stopped and got more gas and stretched and so forth every two to three hours or so, or whenever they got the chance. They finally did make it into Kyoto and the time difference was by two hours.
After finding a good hotel they loaded their stuff into their room and Yugi flopped onto the bed. "Oh it feels good to get out of that car." Yugi said as he stretched for the thousandth time. Yami smirked a little and tossed a backpack aside. "Ya well you didn't have to drive the whole time." he teased as he sat down on the bed next to his Yugi.
Yugi looked over to Yami and rubbed his back a little. "I would of helped if I knew how to drive." Yugi replied with a slight yawn. Yami looked back at Yugi and shrugged a little. "It's alright, aibou." he said as lied back and rolled onto his side to face Yugi.
Yugi scooted up and cuddled against Yami and sighed in content. "So what shall we do tonight?" he asked lightly. Yami shrugged lightly, running his hand through Yugi's hair. "Dunno.." he replied after a moment.
Yugi suddenly sat up digging his Duel Monsters deck from his pocket and had a huge smile on his face. "I know! After such a long drive why don't we have a duel!" Yugi exclaimed. He began to get up off the bed to search for Yami's deck through backpacks and suit cases. "It would be a good way to pump some excitement in us." he said half way buried in Yami's duffle bag before pulling out his deck pouch attached to a belt.
Yami had now sat up and watched Yugi blinking a little. "Alright.. sounds good to me.." Yami began then gained a smirk. "What will the winner get?" he then asked as Yugi sat back down on the bed, handing Yami's deck to him.
Yugi shrugged a little and gave a look of thought. Yami had already begun shuffling his deck as Yugi thought. Yugi then shrugged a little.. "I dunno... The winner gets to..." Yami cut him short by planting a small kiss on the boy's lips. "Gets to have the loser, in any way they want?" Yami said teasingly, adding a wink in there.
Yugi turned beat red, but slowly nodded in agreement, soon gaining a grin of his own. "So either way you look at it.. it's a win-win situation.." he commented. Yami's smirk never faded. "Ya I suppose so... Depending." He then chuckled a little and set down his deck and labeled it the deck zone and Yugi did the same.
After that much of it was a blur. Two of the greatest duelers were dueling their hearts out, each giving it their all. But once it came down to it only one would be the victor. Well, wouldn't you know it, the winner ended up being Yugi in the end. (O.o;;) He had beaten the King of Games! How was this possible, wondered Yami.
He then picked up his cards as well as Yugi and looked to him. "Well, my dear sweet Yugi.. Your the winner, you decide what to do now." Yami stated.
Yami at first thought Yugi would just call it a night, but that was until he was suddenly being pinned to the bed by Yugi. He blinked a little looking up at the boy and for once turned a little red himself. Yugi had strattled him and was lying on top of him. "Yugi.. what are you doing?" he asked.
Yugi just grinned at Yami and began to pull his shirt off, tossing it aside when he did get it off. He then leaned down kissing the other's shoulder, then neck, and soon found his lips and kissed him lightly. "You said the winner gets the loser, right?" he replied in a seducing manner.
Yami only nodded some as he then smirked a little. "I just didn't know you could be so aggressive about it." he said sticking out his tongue at the boy. Yugi only chuckled a little as he lightly grabbed at Yami's tongue. "Don't be stickin' that out unless you plan to use it." Yugi joked.

It had been a week now. They were still in Kyoto, but were planning to leave there in a couple of days. They still had a couple more places in mind to visit. They had gone out to dinner at Kyoto's most famous restaurant, even visited an arcade, of course that was Yami's idea, gone swimming, and many other things. Just enjoying themselves and the time they spent together.
Right now though they were enjoying some time to themselves at the hotel. Yugi was out on the balcony enjoying the sunny afternoon and Yami was out picking up a couple things they needed for the night. Yugi had his eyes closed and held his head up enjoying the feeling of the wind that blew thru his hair and the back of his neck. He hadn't even noticed Yami enter the room.
Yami sat down a grocery bag on the bed and threw the car key down next to it as he made his way to the door way to the balcony. He watched Yugi a little and smiled. The boy was leaning against the railing, wearing a long sleeve, slightly baggy, light tan coloured t-shirt, a pair of jeans, sneakers, and of course his Millennium Puzzle hung around his neck on it's chain. Yami could have admired Yugi for hours like that.
He then stepped out onto the porch and looked up at the blue sky before saying anything. "Have I ever told you how beautiful you are?" he asked lightly. A small smile spread across Yugi's lips as he sighed contently before opening his eyes. He looked to Yami a moment before moving over to him to lightly embrace the taller boy.
"Your so good to me." Yugi said as he rested his head against Yami's chest and closed his eyes again. Yami looked down at Yugi and shrugged a little. "You think so?" he asked in turn. He felt Yugi shake his head a bit before responding to him. "No, I know so." Yugi replied as he looked up at Yami.
Yami only gave him a half smile. He lightly leaned down and kissed Yugi before he stood back to his full height, and looked up at the sky. "Yugi.. I'm not as good to you as you have been to me." he replied after a moment of silence. Yugi blinked and looked up at him, raising an eyebrow. "What do you mean?" he finally asked.
Yami sighed a little as he tried to think of how to put it. He inhaled a large breath and tried to say what he was thinking, but once more sighed, thinking that what he was about to say would have been too confusing, or something. "Well.. you've done more for me then I have for you." he began. He stopped watching Yugi a little as if wondering if he should go on. "I mean.. You helped me save this planet, twice, and protected me from Malik when he wanted to take my powers, and my soul, with your very life.. You helped me become a better person, and helped give me a life I never thought I could ever have." he paused and looked away. There was at least one more thing he had to say. "You taught me that everyone, no matter who they are or what they've done in their life.. that they always have another chance to change and become someone better. I haven't done very much for you." he finally finished.
Yugi blinked a little not knowing Yami had ever felt that way. He then smiled sweetly at him and held both of his hands in his own. "Yami.. You've done plenty for me, believe me. If it weren't for you or your Millennium Puzzle I wouldn't have the friends I have now. You helped me save my Grandpa twice.. You gave me the courage to not only stand up for myself, but for what I believe in and for the people I know and love. Yami, I love you for you, and that's all that really matters. Don't go worrying yourself over small details like that." Yugi said calmly.
Yami blinked a little and looked down at Yugi now. He tried giving him a small smile, but before he could say anything Yugi had leaned up and captured his lips in a tender kiss. Yami blinked a little but soon began to kiss the other back and it soon turn into a very passionate kiss.
After a moment they slowly parted and Yugi sighed contently as he again leaned into Yami for an embrace. Yami lightly rubbed Yugi's back and looked up to the sky. "I love you, Yugi." he said lightly. Yugi smiled some and nodded. "I love you too, Yami." he replied sweetly.

Joey blinked as he looked the map over while Kaiba drove down the road. "I think we're lost, Seto.." Joey said with his New York like accent. Kaiba frowned a little and sighed. Being the stubborn type he was he never agreed. "No we're not. I know exactly where we are." he replied as he passed a road sign telling them what route they were on.
He knew better though. They were lost, very lost. "I'm just taking a detour." he finally commented. Joey looked to his lover and blinked. Yep, it was a detour alright. But to where was his question.
They were supposed to be headed to Tokyo to see the Tokyo Tower and some other things but they were headed in the wrong direction for that. Soon Joey saw yet another street sign. It read, "Okanowa, Japan: 116 Miles." He blinked and stared at the sign as they passed by it. Joey then looked to Kaiba and opened his mouth to speak. "Yes, I know Joey. It didn't say Tokyo.." Kaiba said for him.
Joey sat back in his seat. Well he did hear good things about Okanowa once or twice. Maybe they would find something fun to do there. He knew Seto better then anyone and Seto wasn't gonna waste his time or money on doing something for nothing. So in conclusion he knew they were gonna be there for at least a week at the minimum.

It was around eight or nine at night. Yugi didn't really know since they had probably jumped a time zone or not. He stretched a little as Yami checked them into the hotel. They were in Okanowa Japan for the week or so. It seemed like a nice little town. Somewhere to just relax and enjoy some time to themselves.
Yami gave his thanks to the person at the desk and took the card keys and picked up his bags. Yugi did the same and followed Yami to an elevator. Once inside the elevator they pushed a button and began to make their way up to the third floor where their room was.
After all was said and done they were in their room and getting this that or the other thing set up for the night. But what they didn't know was that two people that they knew were just now entering a vacant room next to theirs.
Yugi took the ice bucket and walked to the door, his card key in hand as well. "I'm gonna get some ice." he said as he opened the door. Yami was messing with the map trying to get it folded up and nodded. "Alright." he replied finally getting frustrated with the damned map.
Yugi closed the door and as he turned to go down the hall to find the ice machine he ran into someone and bounced off of him. He immediately began to apologize along with the other person when they both stopped and looked to each other.
Yugi blinked in shock along with the other person and they both pointed to each other. "J-Joey?" Yugi stuttered finally. Joey blinked and poked Yugi in the head as if he were seeing an illusion.
"What are you doin' here, Yug?" he asked finally as he clutched his ice bucket to his chest. Yugi shrugged a little in turn and then giggled. "Yami and I came here to get away from the business of the city life for a week or so." He answered Joey.
Joey smirked a little and looked towards his hotel room and shrugged. "Seto got us lost and we ended up here." he said chuckling some. Yugi then turned and followed Joey down the hall as they both searched for the ice machine.
Yugi looked up to his friend and raised an eyebrow. "So where were you and Kaiba originally going?" he asked as they found the ice machine around the corner. Joey began digging for ice first when he began to answer. "We were gonna go to Tokyo, but like I said, Seto got lost, poor guy." he said finishing that in a more quieter tone. Yugi nodded a little as he got his turn to dig for ice.
Once he finished they began heading back to their rooms. "So, how's things going for you and Kaiba anyways?" Yugi then asked. Joey smiled some and shrugged. "Better, now that we've had the chance to relax and stuff." Yugi nodded in improvement. "Good to hear." he replied.
Yugi stopped at his door and dug out his card key from his pant pocket. "Well, good seeing you again, Joey." Yugi said as he slid the card in the card slot. Joey nodded as he stopped at the door to Yugi's right side. "Yup, you too, Yug." he answered as he too began to open his door. "See ya!" Yugi said as he entered his room and shut the door.
Yami blinked and looked towards Yugi. "Who were you talking to?" he asked. Yugi shrugged a little, deciding to let Yami run into Joey or Kaiba by himself. "Someone I bumped into in the hall." he replied. Well it really wasn't a lie, now was it. Yami shrugged as Yugi put the ice in the little fridge the room provided.

In the next room Joey had sat the ice in the fridge also and sat on the bed. Seto was in the bathroom, probably shaving. He turned the TV on and began to flip through the channels seeing if anything good was on. He couldn't find anything worth watching so just put it on some cartoon channel.
Seto finally came out of the bathroom and rubbed at his chin a little as he tossed a razor aside. "So, what time is it, Joey?" Kaiba asked as he began to dig for something or another in one of their bags. Joey shrugged as he looked for the clock. "Eh.. 8:30." he finally answered. Seto frowned to himself as he dug up nothing good but his laptop. It was still too early for bed.
Joey blinked as Kaiba sat his laptop on the desk and plugged it into the wall. "Seto.. you promised not to get involved with the company on this vacation, and that's all you've done so far." he said frowning. Kaiba turned to look at Joey and shrugged lightly. "I know, but Mokuba can't figure something out so I'm trying to help.." he began to protest.
Joey only nodded a little as he lied back on the bed to just watch TV. Now Kaiba felt bad for not being able to pay attention to his little Joey. After all, that was the whole point of this vacation. So that he could spend more time with Joey.
Kaiba looked down for a moment, thinking, then looked back to Joey who was now staring blankly at the TV. He didn't even look like he was really watching it. Kaiba got to his feet and suddenly was on the bed lying on top of Joey. Joey blinked and blushed some as he looked up at Kaiba.
"Se-Seto. What are you doing?" he asked in slight confusion, still blushing. Kaiba smirked a little as his hand played across Joey's cheek, neck, then chest. "Something I haven't done with you in what seems like years." he replied smoothly. Joey blushed even more as he watched Kaiba a little.

Yami sighed a little as Yugi massaged his back as he lied on the bed, shirtless, and on his stomach. He closed his eyes and relaxed as Yugi continued his actions, relaxing Yami's tensed back. It had been a long car drive and it had made his back feel a little sore for some reason.
Yugi was straddling Yami from behind so he could massage his back better. "Feeling better now?" Yugi asked as he began to massage his shoulders. Yami nodded a little. The room fell silent again, except for whatever was going on on the TV. But then Yugi and Yami both heard something coming from next door that was very recognizable. Something that almost anyone could identify.
Yami slowly opened his eyes and raised an eyebrow as he heard what sounded like loud moaning from the room next to them. Actually, it was on the other side of the wall that bed was against. Yugi blinked and blushed as he knew who it was doing.. you know what next door.
Yami smirked, still not knowing who was next to them. "Sounds like somebody's busy." he said. Yugi gulped silently and stopped massaging Yami's back. Yami chuckled as he managed to roll over so he was now looking up at Yugi. He smirked a little as he reached up and lightly rubbed Yugi's cheek with his hand. "I'm sure we can make more noise then them over there." he said with a wink.
Yugi managed to blush even more at Yami's comment. Yami sat up now, wrapping his arms around Yugi's waist and began to lightly kiss at the boy's neck before he began to nibble a little. Yugi lightly rested his hands on Yami's shoulder as he closed his eyes a little and tilted his head to one side, now forgetting everything around him.

Kaiba had managed to roll them over and Joey was now on top of him. Joey was slightly flushed now that their events had caught up to him. He sighed contently though and lied his head on Kaiba's shoulder. It had been at least an hour and a half.. or was it longer? He couldn't remember at the moment.
Kaiba lightly ran his hand through Joey's hair and kissed him on the forehead. "You alright, Joey?" he asked. Joey nodded and flushed a little again. "I'm ok, Seto." he said lightly. Kaiba smirked a little and re- adjusted himself a little.
Silence had fallen between the two of them. That was until they both heard a peculiar sound from next door. Kaiba and Joey blinked as it sounded like moaning. "Is it me, or did someone just copying us?" Kaiba asked with a grin. Joey only blinked and blushed as he knew who it was. "Dunno, but it sounds like they're making more noise then we did..." Joey remarked.
Kaiba just grinned even more as he shook his head. They fell in silence, sorta listening to the people next door as they heard more moaning from two individual people now. "Is it me, or do those voices sound familiar?" he questioned Joey. Joey shrugged, almost trying to avoid the subject, though Kaiba could have sworn he knew who those voices belonged to...

Yami groaned a bit as he rolled onto his other side. The sunlight was hitting him square in the face and it was bothering him. But not able to ignore it, even on his other side, he slowly opened his eyes. He grumbled a little as he rolled onto his back and stared up at the ceiling.
He blinked a few times and ran his hand down his face once. He could hear the shower running and looked towards the bathroom. Yugi must have woken up early, Yami thought to himself.
He slowly rolled out of the bed and stood on the floor now. He blinked a few more times as he moved to his suit case and grabbed a pair of shorts and threw them on. He then stumbled towards the bathroom and knocked on the closed door. "Yugi? Can I come in?" Yami asked.
Yugi blinked a little as he looked out of the shower and at the door. "Ya, sure." he replied as he stuck his head back in the shower and began to shampoo his hair. (Shampoo is a cute and interesting sounding word x.x) The door opened and Yami slowly walked in and wandered to the sink where he looked into the mirror and rubbed his chin some.
He felt fuzzy little hairs and blinked wondering if he should shave or not. "Yugi, think I should shave or let something grow?" Yugi poked his head out of the shower once again and looked at Yami who was examining himself in the mirror some. "Dunno.. You might look cute with a goatee, but it may also look weird." Yugi said with a shrug.
Yami looked up to see Yugi's reflection in the mirror and smirked at his shampoo covered hair. "Perhaps I'll shave then." Yami commented as he picked up his electric razor and began to shave. Yugi merely shrugged and continued to wash his hair.

Yami was going out to get some lunch for Yugi and himself while Yugi was going to stay behind and check out what kind of things they could do while in Okanowa. Yami left the room and began to stroll down the hall. He was in no big hurry at the moment. But as he turned the corner to the elevator he bumped into someone.
He blinked as he looked up to find none other then Seto Kaiba. He jumped back by half a foot as did Kaiba and they both stared at each other as if they saw a ghost. "What the hell are YOU doing here?" they both said in unison.
Yami folded his arms across his chest as he stared at Kaiba waiting for him to answer first. Kaiba grumbled and his nose twitched. He wasn't about to admit that he got lost and ended up in some backwatered town such as this one. "Well, Kaiba? What are you doing here?" Yami prodded. Everything was a competition for those two.
Kaiba folded his arms across HIS chest now and gave Yami a cold stare. "Forget why I'M here, what I want to know is why YOUR here." Kaiba said sternly. Yami gave a low growl as he pushed pass Kaiba and to the elevator. He really wasn't gonna give in so he would just walk away. "None of your business, Kaiba." was all Yami said as he disappeared into the elevator.
Kaiba never looked at Yami as he disappeared from view. He just huffed to himself and made his way back to his room. He just had the feeling Joey knew that they were here this whole time and never told him. He smirked to himself though. He knew just how to get it out of him too.

Yami thought to himself almost the whole time he was out getting lunch. Mainly as to why Kaiba was here. He could never out grow his curious nature, and that was one thing he didn't want to out grow either.
He stepped out of the elevator and made his way back to his and Yugi's room. Then it hit him. If Kaiba was here that meant that loud mouth Joey Wheeler was here too! Yami grumbled to himself. Now it made sense. He remembered Yugi talking to someone as he stepped in the door last night, and that someone must have been Joey.
Yami rolled his eyes as he grabbed his card key from his pocket. All well, Yami would have rather not have known they were here anyways. As he opened the door one more thing struck his mind. His jaw dropped and he froze where he was. That must mean that... the people next door were none other then.. Joey and Kaiba.
Yami could have died on the spot! That means that the moaning he heard in the next room belonged to... Kaiba and Joey. Yugi blinked as he watched Yami's facial expressions and grew very confused. "What's the matter, Yami?" he then asked.
Yami began to stutter and then blurted out, "That means that was Joey and Kaiba having sex and we heard it?!" Yugi's eyes grew wide and flushed horribly. Did Yami really have to remind him of that? Yami's face grew pale with fear and dropped the bag. "That also means they heard US do it too!" Yami felt very sick suddenly and slowly picked up the food and sat it on the table and flopped onto the chair.
Yugi sighed and slumped. Yami must of ran into Joey or Kaiba on his way to or from getting lunch. Yugi got to his feet and moved over to Yami and sat his lap and wrapped his arms around his shoulder and buried his face there too. "Do you have to remind me that my best friend heard us last night?" he asked now losing his appetite as well.
It was just something about hearing your best friend having sex with his lover and then having them hear you do the same was just disturbing. It was almost like listening to your brother do that stuff, or even your parents or grandparents. He shuddered some.
Yami blinked a little and looked to Yugi. "Well, you never did say anything.." he said as he looked towards the wall. He felt Yugi shrug. "You were nibbling my ear! I forgot.." he said almost wanting to laugh. Yami smirked a little and then sighed and relaxed. "Well... I guess they asked for it." he joked.
Yugi sighed now as well and reluctantly let go of Yami and grabbed the food and brought it back and gave him his stuff. Yami grabbed it lightly and thanked Yugi. "Wanna go swimming after lunch?" asked Yugi as he began to eat his sandwich. Yami shrugged a little. "I suppose." he said with a mouth full of food.

It had been a few days now. Joey and Yugi had talked at least once or twice now while Yami and Kaiba pretended to think the other never even existed. Joey and Yugi had learned that both of their next stops were Tokyo, and as one could imagine Yami and Kaiba were thrilled.
But that never stopped them from having fun with their lovers or anything. They all had a good time actually. They were both planning on leaving in two days now Joey and Yugi secretly planned on getting the four of them in the same hotel. They found it amusing when Yami and Kaiba got into a hissy fit with each other.
But now it was pretty quiet. Both couples doing their own thing. While Joey and Kaiba were out shopping for supplies the would need on the road Yami and Yugi were enjoying some quality time with each other. They sat out on the patio on a lawn chair and snuggled together.
It was a pretty peaceful day really. It was sunny out yet cool, some clouds dotted the sky. Yami had his eyes closed while he lightly rubbed Yugi's lower back, just relaxing. Yugi couldn't help but feel like something wasn't right though, and for the life of him he couldn't figure it out, but he knew it wasn't good.
Yami opened his and looked down at Yugi and blinked. He looked kinda worried yet confused at the same time as he stared blankly at the railing. "Yugi? Something wrong?" he asked lightly bringing Yugi back to reality. He blinked a couple of times as he moved to get up.
Yami blinked and sat up watching his aibou move over to the railing and lean up on it, resting his arms there leaning foreword and watched the streets below. He finally shrugged at Yami's question and sighed. "I dunno.. Something's just bothering me.." he said quietly.
Yami tilted his head a little before getting onto his feet and moving up behind Yugi and wrapped his arms around his shoulders and rested his chin there. "Like what?

he asked lightly. Again Yugi shrugged. "That's the thing.. I don't know what it is.." he said in a confused tone.
Yami lightly kissed Yugi on the cheek and smiled a little. "Your probably just tired.." he replied. Yugi nodded a little. "That could be it." Yugi replied. Though for some reason he wasn't sure that this was the case. All he could do for now was sit and see what would happen. Hell that was ALL he could do till he could figure out what was wrong.
Yami let go of Yugi and sighed some. "Maybe you should take a nap. You have been out of it today.. I mean the four of us did stay out till four in the morning..." Yami said, referring to Yugi, Joey, Kaiba and himself. They had gone bowling then to an all night pool hall. Yugi shrugged and nodded. "Alright.." he said as he made his way to the bed. What else was he to do anyways?

They were all on the road again, heading for Tokyo. Yugi and Yami were busy chatting away about random things while listening to music. Yugi was in a good mood today. It was the first time for the last couple of days. Yami was a little worried though.. Yugi had been having nightmares about something he wouldn't say, he had even been real depressed.
But now Yugi seemed to be ok, like nothing had happened. Yami was a little confused, but let it be. He knew Yugi would tell him if it was something important sooner or later. But then Yugi had fallen silent and looked out the window and watched the hills roll on by as the car sped down the road.
Yami had fallen silent too now as a slow song came on and he just listened to it. Yugi sighed a little and slumped in his seat. "Yami?" he asked, never looking away from the window. Yami blinked and glimpsed at Yugi for a moment. "Yes, aibou?" he asked back.
Yugi took a moment before he answered. It was like he wasn't sure if he should say what he had on his mind. "You'll never leave me, will you?" Yugi finally replied. Yami blinked in confusion and again looked at Yugi for a moment. He then gave a slight nervous smile as he looked back at the road.
Yami wasn't sure what Yugi was talking about, but he already knew his answer. "Of course I wont leave you, Yugi.. Why would you ask that?" came Yami's voice. Yugi shrugged, still staring out the window. He again sighed as he turned and gave Yami a weary smile. "I dunno.. It's just... something that's been bothering me.." Yugi said, not knowing how else to put it.
Yami frowned a little and tried to figure out how to react to this. "Yugi.. if something's wrong.. you can always tell me." Yami said lightly. He had a bad feeling about what Yugi had to say next. But he never got to figure out what was going on with him for he never answered him. "I dunno.. it's probably nothing." he said as he tried to regain his cheerfulness. "Probably sounds stupid anyways." he ended with a short chuckle.
Yami shrugged some in confusion. He wasn't much of a mind reader, but he knew that something was bugging his Yugi, and he knew that Yugi was worried about it. "Yugi, what's wrong, this has been bugging you for the last couple of days now.." Yami tried to prod. Yugi shook his head and waved his hand. "It's nothing, Yami, really." he said with a small smile.

Kaiba pulled into the hotel parking lot after Yami. He had followed the other two the whole way there, but only because Joey begged him to. It was at least 10:00 at night now, and Joey had fallen asleep two hours ago. Kaiba parked Next to Yami who was now climbing out of his car.
Kaiba turned his car off and stepped out of his car now and stood to his full height of 5'11. He stretched a little as Yami closed his car door as quietly as possible. He had locked the doors so that he could go into the hotel and check them in and come back for the sleeping Yugi, and go to their room.
Kaiba did the same and the two of them made their way into the hotel. "So, Kaiba... Has Joey said anything to you about Yugi?" Yami suddenly asked. Kaiba blinked and looked to Yami as if he were crazy. "Depends.. About what?" Kaiba asked as they entered the building. "I don't know.. like about anything bothering him?" Yami proceeded.
Kaiba gave Yami another weird look. "No, do I look like a psychic to you?" he asked as he made it to the desk first. He checked Joey and himself in and received two card keys and then made his way back to the car to get Joey and a few things.
Yami blinked and watched Kaiba leave and turned to face the person at the desk. After he too checked in he went out and opened the car door and scooped up Yugi. Yugi slowly opened his eyes for a moment or two and saw Yami and snuggled against his chest as he fell right back to sleep. Yami only smiled a bit as he carried his lover up to their hotel room.
After that Yami and Kaiba both went back to their cars and gathered things up and took them to their rooms and so forth. It was 10:30 or so by the time Yami finished doing what he needed to do and sat on the other side of the bed. He gave a silent yawn and looked over to the sleeping Yugi and again smiled sweetly.
Yugi looked like a sleeping angel all curled up like he was. He then lied down next to him and again yawned. But before anything else could be done, Yami too, fell asleep. It was a longer day then he had thought.

It was the next morning now. Joey and Kaiba had gone out to see the Tokyo Tower, while Yugi and Yami were out just looking at the town. At the moment they were at the city's mall, doing a little shopping. "Hey, Yugi, I'm gonna go do something real quick, meat at the food court in an hour?" Yami asked as he began to go off in another direction.
Yugi shrugged a little. "Alright." Yugi replied as he waved at Yami with a smile. Yami blew a kiss and turned and ran off down the hall and disappeared in the crowed. Yugi began to wander around the mall and looked about. But that's when he heard someone call for him.
He blinked knowing it wasn't Yami's voice, nor Joey, or Kaiba. But who did he possibly know in Tokyo? He stopped and looked around hearing his name being called again. He then noticed a creepy looking store and blinked. Some hooded person was waving at him to come inside.
He looked around a bit as if hoping to see Yami, but to no avail. He then slowly made his way to the hooded man and stopped in front of him and his table. He blinked as the store looked like a fortune telling type of place. "Ho-how do you know my name?" he asked the unknown man, who in turn shook his head.
He then looked up a little, half his face still hidden in the shadows of his hood. "That is not of great importants." he replied. Yugi only blinked in confusion. He wasn't quite sure of this person but didn't know what to do. "Yugi Motou, someone you know is in great danger, along with yourself. Be cautious while you are in the city of Tokyo, the future depends on you and your lover's survival." he said.
Yugi then got very suspicious and serious. "What do you mean?!" he demanded. The hooded man only looked down to some cards and fell silent. "You will know very soon." was all he said.
Yugi was gonna make the person speak, but that was until he heard Yami's voice from the hall of the mall. Had it already been an hour? He gave the hooded man a quick warning glare as he turned and ran out to Yami.

They were driving down the road now, and Yugi was deep in thought about what the fortune teller had told him. Yami sighed and looked to Yugi for a moment. "Yugi, what has been bothering you?" he asked in a concern manner. Yugi had been awfully quiet since they left the mall.
Yugi blinked and snapped back to reality. "Oh, heh, nothing, some fortune teller said something to me earlier and I was thinking about it is all." he said. Well he was telling the truth, just not the WHOLE truth. Yami chuckled a little. "Don't tell me that you believe that tarot cards crap." Yami said in a sarcastic manner.
Yugi shrugged and gave a weary chuckle back. "Nah, me? Never." he said in a half joking manner. Yami shook his head as they pulled into some fast food parking lot. "So, what did Mr. Fortune Teller say to you?" Yami asked as he poked Yugi in the side playfully. Yugi blushed and giggled. One of his other soft spots. "Nothing important." he replied. Yami only shrugged as he pulled into the drive thru.

It was a little later in the day now, everyone was back in their hotel rooms. Yugi and Yami were watching a movie on the TV when they heard a knock on the door. Yugi was the one to get up and answer it. It was Joey.
"Hey, Yug! I thought that you and Yami would like to join me and Kaiba when we go to some museum to see some ancient Egyptian stuff!" Joey said as Kaiba came up from behind him. Yugi blinked and looked back at Yami who seemed interested, for he had gotten up and walked over to the door. "What kind of stuff?" Yugi asked.
"I dunno, but they supposedly found most of the stuff in a tomb that might have belonged to a powerful Pharaoh!" Joey declared. Yugi blinked as he watched Yami. "Ya! Let's go, Yugi!" Yami exclaimed as he grabbed his car key and card key. Yugi suddenly got a sudden bad feeling about this. "Ya, Yug, it's here for only one day." Joey replied as Kaiba silently stood there.
Yugi looked back to Yami and shrugged. "Ok, looks like Yami wants to go so I'll go too." Yugi said as he stepped out into the hall. But he just couldn't help but worry about this bad feeling he had. Could it possibly be what he had been worrying about this whole time, and even what that hooded guy had said at the mall?

They were now at the museum, and it had been an hour. Yugi, Yami, Kaiba, and Joey were all looking around at some ancient artifacts and tablets. Yami recognized some things as his old belongings from his palace, while Kaiba was able to translate some tablets.
Yugi and Joey only listened to their lovers talk about this that or the other thing. They had never seen them act so nicely to each other. But of course they were connected together in the past. But soon their quiet afternoon at the museum was going to turn into a nightmare come true.
Right as things were getting good for Yami they heard someone shout over the low murmurs of the crowd. "Nobody move!" came the voice that belonged to a man in his late thirties. Yugi froze as his heart stopped. He suddenly knew that this was that great danger the fortune teller had spoken about.
The crowed began to scream and shout as at least ten men pulled out guns and herded them all into a corner. The museum was awfully small, and easy to take control of. Yugi had stuck closely to Yami as Joey did to Kaiba.
Yami grumbled under his breath as he clinched his hands into fists, Kaiba doing the same as he stepped in front of Joey as to protect him. "What do you think you guys are doing?!" shouted Kaiba. How could such idiots attempted a hostage robbery when the president of Kaiba Corp was there?
The person who seemed to be in charge of this operation pointed a hand gun in Kaiba's direction as the rest of the people fell silent. "What does it look like, you idiot?! Now shut your trap or I'll blow your brains out!" the masked man shouted.
Yami now had Yugi behind him and stared at the ten men who had begun to loot what ever they could get their hands on. All that was on Yami's mind was to protect Yugi, but Yugi was getting very weary of all this. He just knew something was gonna happen, he just knew it.
The head man of this looked to his people and gave out an order. "If any of them move, or even try to THINK of doing something heroic, kill 'em!" he shouted out. Yugi tugged on Yami's shirt to get his attention. He looked down at the rather scared looking Yugi. "What do we do?" he asked quietly. Yami looked back up at the armed men and shrugged. "I don't know, Yugi.." was all he could say. He could only hope to wait this out and everything would be ok.
But that was only wish full thinking. Someone decided to freak out and ran right into Yami, trying to escape or something. That's when it all fell to pieces. First the man who had tried to run was shot down, and Yami, who had lost his balance fell right into one of the armed men.
In an automatic reaction the man pushed Yami away and aimed their gun right at him. He didn't even have time to think, but Yugi on the other hand did. Right as the other guy's gun went off is when Yugi jumped out in front of Yami.
It all happened too fast. One moment Yami was ran into, pushed and shot at, then the next thing he knew was Yugi was falling down right in front of him. "Yugi!" he heard Joey shout out as he ran over towards the falling boy.
Yami suddenly snapped back and caught him right before he hit the ground. He looked Yugi over, and found blood beginning to stain his white shirt. He was shot in the stomach. Yami's heart began to pound as Yugi began to cringe being in obvious pain.
Joey fell to his knees, his heart beginning to pound as well. "What have you ass holes done?!" Kaiba shouted out. Then sirens were heard from outside and the armed robbers began to panic.
They grabbed their packs and ran for the door, Kaiba chasing them down. "Seto, no!" Joey shouted watching them all disappear. Yami on the other hand couldn't take his eyes off of Yugi who was now bleeding badly. His breathing also became unstable as he looked back up at Yami with a very weak smile.
Yami then began to freak out, and he had the right to. "Yugi?" Yami said weakly, his voice breaking now. Yugi did his best to reach up and lightly wipe the oncoming tears away. Yami grabbed his hand tightly and kissed it. "Yugi, why did you do that?" Yami asked as the tears began to really flow. He knew better.. and that also meant that he knew Yugi wouldn't make it out of this one.
Yugi began to cough, trying his best to continue breathing, but he too knew that it was useless. He knew that he didn't have much time as well. Joey now began to cry as he watched his best friend bleed to death before him. "Ya--" Yugi choked out, trying to say something.
Yami shook his head, lightly caressing the other's cheek, which began to grow cold. "Shhh, it's ok, aibou.. you'll be ok." Yami said trying to lie to himself. Yugi shook his head weakly. "I.. lo-love you.." Yugi said rather quietly. Yami began to choke on his breath. "I love you too, Yugi.." he said as he began to cry.
Yami had now tried to apply pressure to the wound but it wasn't helping any. Yugi cried out in pain, and Yami jumped and pulled his hand back. "Aibou, I don't know what to do..." he said in a panicky tone. Blood began to trickle out of Yugi's mouth now as he again tried to calm Yami, but knew it wouldn't do any good. He tried to speak but only to cough up more blood. "Th-there i-is nothing to d-do.." Yugi said with a small weak smile.
Yugi was as calm as he could get for someone that was dieing. But in the end it wouldn't do any good. Yami looked into Yugi's eyes seeing the oncoming fear. But before Yami could say anything back Yugi had fallen limp. He was gone.
Yami's heart almost stopped itself. His breath was stuck in his throat and his eyes searched Yugi franticly for any signs of life, but found none. By this time Kaiba came back in with police and Joey rammed himself into Kaiba, now crying uncontrollably.
Yami shook Yugi a little, as if he were just sleeping. "Yugi? Come on, wake up..." he said, his voice cracking as tears really began to flow. "No, Yugi.. wake up.. Yugi?" Yami couldn't believe this, he wanted to scream, yet find those people and kill them all himself. They took his most precious treasure, his life, the one thing that made him happy, and that was his lover, the one person he loved more then anything. So, with everything he was he just screamed at the top of his lungs. "YYUUUGGIIIIIIII!"
What else was he to do? He had then hugged Yugi tightly screaming and crying. He had buried his face into Yugi's shoulder and just couldn't stop shaking. No, this couldn't be. Yugi wasn't supposed to die.
The police tried their best to get Yami to let go of Yugi's body so paramedics could send it off to the morgue, but took at least three of them to pry Yami away from him.
Yami kicked and screamed and tried to break free but they wouldn't let him go. Instead they were trying to calm him down, like he hadn't just lost the most important person in his life. They told him it was ok, but it wasn't! Yugi was now dead because of him! How could it be ok?! This was all he could think of as he continued to thrash about.

The police, and the paramedics all had to hold Yami back as they loaded Yugi's now empty shell for a body into an ambulance. After they drove off was when Yami was let go, but he tried to chase the ambulance down but failed. Just like he had failed Yugi.
Joey and Kaiba were allowed to go after some officers had questioned them about what happened. Kaiba looked to Yami who was now nothing more then a broken man. He frowned some to himself. Sure Yami was his rival, but he was still a friend, and he felt real sorry for him.
Joey made his way to Yami who had now fell to his knees in the middle of the road and began to sob like no tomorrow. He leaned down and laid a hand on Yami's shoulder. "Yami... Let me and Seto take you back to the hotel.." Joey said softly. But Yami broke away and got to his feet and began to walk away like he never heard Joey in the first place.
Joey frowned sadly. He knew Yami's pain, or at least part of it. Yugi was his best friend, so it was like losing his only brother.. but Yami had lost more then a best friend.. he lost the only person he had, and his lover.
Kaiba came up to Joey from behind and lightly embraced him from behind. Joey again began to cry as he turned and buried his head in Kaiba's shoulder. Kaiba did his best to settle Joey down because now, more then ever, he needed to be strong so they could look for Yami and help him get back home in one piece.
"Joey.. I need you to take Yami's car back to the hotel.. I'll take our car and look for Yami.." Kaiba said softly. Joey nodded and reluctantly let him go and went to Yami's car and literally picked the lock and jump started the car and drove off. He had learned that from Kaiba for emergency purposes. Or if he locked the key in the car, or was robbed.
Kaiba watched Joey drive off before he got into his car and drove off down in the direction Yami went. Kaiba only hoped to find the Pharaoh soon before he did something stupid. That something stupid being either killing himself or getting himself arrested.

It had grown dark now, and Yami was stumbling down the side walk with a now empty sake bottle in hand. He was drunk off his ass and very weary. He was a wreck and it was very obvious. His eyes were red and sore, his face was stained with tears.
Soon he saw a car heading down in his direction, the headlights seemed too bright for him to bear. He shielded his eyes the best he could with the hand that held the empty sake bottle. The car slowed down and the passenger side window opened. It was Kaiba.
Yami ignored the man and again began to walk. "Get in the car." He heard Kaiba say right after taking his first step. "Why?! So I can go back to the hotel and face Sugoroku?!" Yami shouted out.
Yes he knew Yugi's grandfather was here. He saw him being picked up from the airport by a taxi. Kaiba frowned and sighed. "Look, I know this is hard but you need to go see him." Kaiba said more softly. He was just trying to calm the situation down. Joey had been crying all day, Sugoroku showed up to get Yami and have Yugi's body sent back to Domino, and now was trying to just get Yami to go back to the hotel with him.
Yami shook his head and again tried walking. "Get in the car, Motou!" shouted Kaiba. That made Yami stop. He turned back and looked at Kaiba through the car window with tired eyes. "What did you call me?" Yami asked as if shocked by this. He didn't even HAVE a last name.. but suddenly had Yugi's.. "Please, just get in the car.." Kaiba begged. Yami slowly did just that and they drove off towards the hotel.

Kaiba helped Yami up to the hotel room. He smelled of alcohol and he really acted like he had been drinking. He could barely walk on his own. "I swear, Motou, if you tell ANYONE about me helping you, I'll put you out of your misery myself." Kaiba said. He was half way joking but at the same time wasn't.
Yami only smirked to himself. "Why don't you just do so anyways?" he asked as he stumbled a little. Kaiba only frowned at Yami's comment. "Yami, whether you want to believe this or not, this planet, these people still need you around. I hate to admit it but you ARE the protector of the innocent, keeper of the Shadow Realm.. And with out you, or a proper heir... Hell will be unleashed onto these people." Kaiba said sternly as he opened the door to Yami's room.
But that's as far as Kaiba was going to go. The rest of what happened was none of his concern. After Yami went inside Kaiba retired to his room to pack. With what had happened Joey would want to go back, and honestly, so would he.
Yami never looked up at Sugoroku who was now standing a few feet in front of him. Neither of them knew what to say. Sugoroku wanted to ask if Yami was ok, but he knew that he wasn't. He seemed different now then he had when he left home with Yugi. He seemed broken, empty, and no longer himself.
Yami then began to start his crying all over again. "I'm so sorry.." he said as he fell to his hands and knees, breaking out in tears. "I failed you.. I failed Yugi.." Yami sobbed. Sugoroku bowed his head. He too was feeling pain from the loss of his only grandson, but Yami seemed to have been suffering even more. He really was the one who loved Yugi the most, and now Sugoroku plainly saw it.
He slowly made his way over to Yami and knelt down in front of him . He began to lightly rub his back, not knowing what else to do. But then Yami had clung to him, burying his face in the old man's chest. He couldn't stop shaking or crying for the life of him, and he never wanted to. The pain in his heart was to great, to strong, even if he was the Pharaoh.
Sugoroku slowly hugged the boy, trying his best not to start crying as well. He knew he needed to be strong. "We'll leave in the morning... you should rest." Sugoroku said quietly, his voice breaking a little. He felt Yami shake his head. "I can't sleep.." he said in a muffled voice.
Sugoroku sighed and rubbed the boy's back some more, some tears escaping HIM now. He wiped them away and got to his feet, leading the drunken Yami to the chair where he sat him down. As soon as he sat him down he almost immediately fell asleep. He was so tired, he was filled with so much pain, that it just made him fall asleep.
Sugoroku sighed yet again as he sat at the end of the bed. He began to sob now as he couldn't hold it in much longer. He too suffered, he too felt the pain of losing Yugi... he was also human and needed to let his emotions go.

Yami being in no condition to drive sat in the passengers seat as Sugoroku drove down the high way. Yami held onto the puzzle that Yugi once wore. He was lightly petting the Millennium Item as if it were Yugi himself.. or maybe just to calm himself. He didn't know.
Sugoroku stared down the slightly windy road trying so hard not to think about what he had heard yesterday. It was on the news all over Japan. He remembered it as if he had just seen it seconds ago.
He was vacuuming the living room floor while he watched the TV. He was watching some action TV program when the news flash interrupted it. It was on some robbery that had occurred at some small museum in Tokyo.
He wouldn't have paid it too much mind if he hadn't heard the newscaster report on casualties. The reporter had said these exact words, "While the robbers has escaped there were two deaths reported. One being that of a business man named Yori Tomoguru in his late thirties and the second being the young Duelist Kingdom and Battle City champion Yugi Motou at age 15." The old man's heart had almost stopped on the spot as they flashed pictures of both the business man and his grandson.
Sugoroku shook his head and tried to pay attention to his driving again. Yami hadn't said a word since the night before so he knew that it might not do any good to start a conversation. So instead he turned on the CD player.
Yami sighed and continued to stare out the window blankly. The events of yesterday were repeatedly going through his head and he couldn't stop thinking about it. What was he to do now? He didn't have anything to live for now.. Who cares if he was the chosen protector of the innocent and ruler of the Shadow Realms? He wasn't any good to anyone without having Yugi there to give him the courage he needed. He was just no good period.

It had been a few days now, and Yugi's funeral had been said and done. Sugoroku wouldn't even dare touch Yugi's room, and Yami had constantly found himself staring inside of it expecting to find Yugi there.

Sugoroku was afraid for Yami's health. He was now nothing more then a broken man, who wouldn't eat sleep or drink, who never spoke a word since Tokyo, who had constant nightmares about the incident... and who he caught crying day in and day out.
But when Sugoroku went to search for Yami he couldn't find him anywhere in their house or the game shop. He had just disappeared. He had done this a couple other times and was literally drug home drunk by the police. It was pretty sad really. So Sugoroku merely made his way into the kitchen to eat yet another lonely dinner.

Yami stood before Yugi's grave as the wind began to blow. It was a farley cool wind tonight. He really couldn't remember how he got here but just stared at the grave stone. The whole scene of Yugi's murder replayed in his mind in a split second and he tried his best not to give into the temptation to cry. So instead he fell to his knees and continued to stare blankly.
Behind him he could hear someone's footsteps approach him. He could care less as to who it was. But then he felt a hand being placed on his shoulder. "Yugi's death will only be in vain if you continue to act as if the whole world has stabbed you in the back." came an all too familiar voice.
Yami's sadden expression turned to that of anger and hate as he slowly got to his feet. He turned around to find none other then Shadi standing in front of him. He wore his usual Egyptian like garbs.
Shadi took a step back as he saw the anger in the Pharaoh's eyes. That's when the Millennium Puzzle glowed around his neck and the eye appeared on his forehead. "You had something to do with this, didn't you Shadi?!" Yami shouted out as he took menacing steps towards the protector of the Millennium Items.
Shadi shook his head, again backing away from Yami. "N-no! I tried to prevent this!" Shadi blurted out as he was backed into a tree. "Well then SPILL it!" Yami again shouted. He was in no mood for Shadi's games or riddles.
Shadi choked on his words as Yami grabbed him by the collar of his robes and pressed him even harder into the tree. "C'mon, Shadi! Let's hear it! I'm DIEING to know why you had to MURDER my Yugi!" Yami continued to shout.
Shadi grabbed the Pharaoh's wrists and tried to get him to back off but his power had risen ten fold. Perhaps this was a rather bad time to talk to him. "I tried to prevent Yugi's AND your death by warning him as a fortune teller at the mall in Tokyo!" He began as the wind really began to pick up, no doubt as a side effect to Yami's powers.
Yami shoved the other into the tree rather hard now. "What else, Shadi!?" Yami demanded as tears began to poor down his cheeks. His emotions was running ramped now and it was very obvious. "I figured by telling him that you guys would avoid the Egyptian exhibit and just stay at the hotel, but when you were shot at Yugi changed the course of time and events by taking the bullet that was meant for you. There for the authorities came sooner then they were supposed to and your life along with the rest were spared." Shadi said trying to remain calm though the fear in his eyes were very visible. "Everyone at that museum were destined to die that day, but instead were spared." he finished as Yami's grip loosened a little.
Yami slowly lost his anger as it was taken over by the pain and sorrow that had taken his heart the day Yugi had died. He had let go of Shadi and made his way back to his lover's grave and began to shake. "I tried to prevent your deaths because you both were needed desperately in the near future, for a new threat is arising. Kaiba held it out and did his best along side with Joey but they were eventually banned to the Shadow Realms, a fate worse then death." Shadi continued.
Yami again fell to his knees. "What use am I without Yugi?" He asked his voice breaking. He no longer had faith in himself, and this is what Shadi had feared. But he couldn't do anything about it, just try to get Yami to do what he was now destined to do, though that was even something that remained a shadow.
