Chapter 1

'Let the games begin'

The morning daylight shined through the window of a game shop right into the face of a young 16 year old. His peachy pink face shimmered in the sunlight. Each tip of his spiky hair was died a maroon color with his original black hair below. Each bang was streaked a golden yellow which brought out the color of his violet eyes that were hidden beneath his eyelids.

A hand brushed away one of the bangs that cover his porcelain like face to reveal his tiny button nose. The hand belonged to a slightly taller teen who was almost an exact look alike of the other he as well died the tips of his hair and his bangs a bleach blond but they were spiked up with the rest of his hair to give him a more tough appearance.

He stared at the slightly smaller boy in a daze watching every little flinch or move he would make. He had a content and peaceful look on his face. As the sun rose a bit more, it reflected off the almost blood red orbs that resided in the sockets of the boy.

The smaller boy turned onto his side to reveal his dark violet eyes that he had been hiding throughout the night. "Good morning Yuugi" the taller teen greeted to his other half. Yuugi smiled and let out a big yawn before responding. "Good morning to you too, Ya..yami" he said in between another yawn.

Yami ran his fingers through Yuugi's hair and sighed. "Didja have a good sleep" he asked as he removed his fingers from the golden locks on Yuugi's head. He nodded in response as he got up and headed towards the door of the room. "I'm gonna take a shower, I'll be right back" he informed his other half.

He paused for a second to quickly study the expression on Yami's face. "Is something bothering you" he worriedly asked his friend. Yami turned his head away from Yuugi. He always knew if there was something on Yami's mind. If only he could tell him.

He shook his head slowly and opened his mouth to say something but Yuugi beat him to it. "Yami, don't lie to me please, I just asked you a simple question because I care". Yami stood up and placed his hand on the small boys shoulder and smiled. "I'm fine Aibou, really I am. Now go take your shower and I'll be waiting in the kitchen M'kay". Yuugi shrugged as he grabbed a change of clothes and left from sight.

Yami was already showered and fully dressed. He wore tight black leather jeans with numerous zippers and chains attached to anywhere it could fit and rips in both knees. His shirt was not much different. It was ripped in several places and had a zipper in the back with a little kuriboh key chain. Around his neck he wore a spiked black choker and another chain which was hooked to a golden pyramid shaped puzzle. He ran his fingers up and down the sides of his puzzle.

He was still getting used to his new senses that he received when he was released from the golden puzzle that he treasured so much, so people were used to him feeling everything and sometimes everyone.

Every knew place he went to, he had to stop and take in the beauty around him. He smelled the fresh air, viewed the amazing scenery, tasted exotic foods, heard music and sounds but most of all he could feel. He could feel objects around him but he could feel his heart as well. It could hurt more then anything he ever experienced but it could also give him invisible wings that guided him in everyday life. His guide had a name. Yuugi.

He took in a deep breath and closed his eyes as he sat back down on the bed. He still had mixed feelings about Yuugi. They had been so close for so long that he didn't consider what would happen when they separated. Yuugi had school 5 days a week so he couldn't see him as much and since he had to sleep now he couldn't stay up all night just to make sure he was safe.

Then there was Anzu. She was outgoing, gorgeous, had a great personality, and had captured the heart of the docile, shy, quiet, but generous Yuugi. Now Yuugi would spend more time with her which leaves Yami with less time to spend with his hikari.

Thinking about it just made him angry. He didn't see what was so special about Anzu. She was just a regular girl wearing regular clothes with nothing really interesting about her. Yami smirked at the thought. He knew he was jealous of her. There was no way he could beat her and for that he hated her. Every time he sees her he has to hold back the feeling of vomit. Just thinking about her made him sick. His eyes began to water. 'what does she have that I don't'. He blinked away the tears that were about to overflow.

He stood up and began to make his way downstairs to the kitchen. He placed four pieces of toast in the toaster, one for him and the other for his Hikari. He pulled up a chair after he poured two glasses of orange juice. He let out a deep breath as he waited for his toast to pop. He closed his eyes once again to think. Yuugi's face flashed through his mind numerous times. He just stood there smiling at him almost in a mocking way. "It's not fair" Yami complained aloud to himself. "Why not me". He began to twitch until he jerked up knocking the chair over screaming "God damn it, why not me".

"who are you talking to" said a voice from behind. He turned to see Mr.Mouto, Yuugi's Grandpa walking down the stairs towards him. Yami blushed from embarrassment.

"oh Ra, what timing"

"Just reminiscing" he joked trying to hide the expression on his face. "Are you leaving already, Mr.Mouto?" he asked to start conversation. Grandpa turned to face him and frowned. "Yes I'm leaving but I told you to call me Grandpa, everybody else does" he chuckled.

"I'm sorry, it just doesn't come naturally to me"

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"No i'm fine, have a good day at work"

He frowned in defeat but gave Yami a reassuring look. All the other could do was stare at his thumbs that twidled on the smooth table surface.

"Well I'm off. have a good day, and don't rush things dear boy. take your time, i'm sure Yugi thinks the same way" He waved as he walked out the door.

Yami blinked a few times. what had he meant by Yuugi thinks the same way? take his time with what? He scratched his head in confusion. He never understood why Mr.Mouto had such faith in him or why he wanted him to act like he was really a part of his family. The chair he was sitting in tilted back slightly as he leaned back into it and began to make a rocking motion.

"Did Gramps just leave" Yuugi asked running down the stairs. "Yeah he did he ..." he looked over to see Yuugi grabbing the back of his head on the floor making little whimpers of pain. "Did you slip again, ne?" Yami teased. Yuugi's eyes began to tear up. He looked up at Yami with a puppy dog look. "Y...Yami that was so m..m..m..mean" He cried between hiccups. "It hurt this time".

Yami sighed and walked over to were Yuugi fell. He was in fresh clean clothes on and a small white towel over his wet hair. A little strand of golden blond hair was visible over his water filled violet orbs that made them sparkle more than usual. Yami couldn't help but stare at his freshly showered face.

It looked so smooth. He only wanted to feel how soft it was with his hands. He loved to feel things that he had never felt before. It was an exhilarating new experience. First he could feel it with his hands, then maybe with his lips, and maybe after that... "Yami" Yuugi called to his other self who was almost in a different universe. Yami blinked a bit to snap out of his gaze. He knelt down beside him and gave him his glass of orange juice. "Geeze, you have to watch were you step, love" Yami Self-consciously whispered to comfort Yuugi as he twisted his rogue hair between his fingers. 'It's so...soft'

He looked over to Yuugi to see he had his 'freaked out' face on. "Why did you call me love?" Yami stared for a few moments before he came back to reality. "I said that" he asked. Yuugi nodded his head in response. "Oh".

silence

"I said that, neh?" he repeated himself. Once again Yuugi nodded. "oh...oh... Oh yea that's right I was gonna say aibou but I guess I got the words mixed up, neh?" Yami laughed trying to hide the blush that threatened to expose itself. A giggle escaped from Yuugi's mouth. "You can be so weird sometimes, but if you wanna call me love that's fine". Yami just stared at Yuugi in complete shock. "Ok whatever" he responded.

POP!

Yami and Yuugi jumped at the sound of the toaster.

The two ate in silence. It wasn't a bad silence but it still was awkward. "So I was thinking about meeting Anzu in the park and catching a movie, how about it" Yuugi questioned. Yami's gut twisted at the sound of Anzu's name as it showed on his face. 'Damn it why are we always hanging out with Anzu? That's all Yuugi cares about anymore. There is no way I'm gonna spend my Saturday around that sun of a bitch'.

Yami sneered at the thought of Anzu forcing herself on Yuugi. "Actually, I was thinking me and you could do something just the two of us" Yami suggested as he ran his fingers in circles around the cold smooth surface of the glass plate. Anything would be better then seeing Anzu. Yuugi thought about it for a little bit. Yami could tell that he wanted to see Anzu. A small smile crept onto his face "That's a great idea Yami, where do you wanna go".

Yami froze in astonishment. Yuugi agreed to spend a day with him rather then Anzu. Through all of the excitement, he forgot about Yuugi's question so he repeated himself. "Hey are you in there, I asked a question. Where do you want to go". A sick feeling was building up in Yami's stomach. He didn't expect him to ask what he wanted to do. He didn't even know what there was to do he had been released from the puzzle only for about a week now. "ATEMU ARE YOU LISTENING!" Yami jumped up from his seat. "Yes, yes I was listening" Yami took in a few deep breaths to let his heart calm down before he looked back at Yuugi.

"You called me Atemu, I haven't heard that in a while". "Oh ya right you heard it last week and besides if you are gonna call me love then I need a cool nickname for you". Yami smirked wondering what he could come up with. "I will call you... umeta". Yami was dumbfounded. "Umeta, what kind of name is that, neh" Yami chuckled. Yuugi flicked him in the side of the head. "It's your name pronounced backwards BAKA". Yami frowned at being insulted. "It's a lot better than love too" Yuugi added. Yami's face tinted pink. 'Aww man, he's right. I didn't even mean to say it, I look like such an idiot' Yami sobbed to himself.

"You still haven't answered my question yet" Yuugi reminded bringing back up the conversation they had trailed off from. Yami looked down at his feet in disappointment. "I don't know, let's just go see a movie with Anzu" Yami sighed. Yuugi's smile disappeared. "What, you don't want to hang out with just me anymore" Yuugi pouted. Yami shot his Aibou a defensive look. Yuugi saw this and the smile he had earlier came back.

"Are you hiding something from me" Yuugi asked. Yami's face was full of a mixture of shock and denial. "You are, aren't you" he accused.

Yami didn't know what to do, he was so flustered that everything that come out of his mouth was a stuttered word or a squeak. Yuugi's smile turned into a devious smirk. "So what are you hiding from me, eh Uuuuumeta". Their face was inches away from each other causing Yami to become twitchy.

He clenched his fists. This would be a perfect time for him to tell Yuugi about what he was feeling, and about Anzu and everything else he could think of but that taste of bile in the back of his mouth was holding him back. 'Damn it, damn it, I can do this. Just... just take in a deep breath and-'

"Yami are you alright" Yuugi interrupted. Yami quickly nodded causing his hikari to get more suspicious. 'Yami is definitely hiding something from me' Yuugi thought to himself 'and I'm gonna find out what it is'. Yuugi let a small giggle that he usually made when he got over excited and then locked eyes with his other half look alike. "Alright, I'll play you're little game" Yuugi evilly chuckled "but were gonna make a small bet on it".

Yami's face brightened up from Yuugi's proposal. "I dunno aibou, if you turn this into a game, I doubt you'll be able to beat me". "what are you afraid I'll kick your ass, my Pharaoh" Yuugi mocked. Yami had somewhat of a pissed look on his face at the rude remark. He didn't want to play this particular game with Yuugi. There was a lot more at stake than a petty secret. There was much more. His lower lip began to shake, then stopped as quickly as it started.

He let out a confident chuckle and put on his famous game face. "Alright partner, I accept your challenge. You have a week to figure out my secret. At sundown next Saturday, the game will cease. If by chance you don't have the answer" Yami paused to see Yuugi's anticipated look. "If you do not have the answer by then, I win the bet and will do as I say all day". Yuugi smiled as he shook hands with his other half.

"Ditto".
