Hey readers! Here's the first chapter for the re-write to Chibi Love. I hope you guys enjoy it.

Yugi: I hope they like the story, but why did you re-write it again?

Well, obviously you didn't read my author's note in the original. So I'll briefly explain: I had written this story a long time ago, and had most of it done; but then I got busy with school, so this was put on the backburner for a while. When I finally got back to writing, I re-read this story to write the new chapter, and found that I wasn't going to be able to write anything good. My way of thinking had changed, so any ideas I had for this story was gone. So I decided to re-write it; that way, it'll make more sense and there'll be some more chapters for the readers.

Yugi: Oh, that's why. Well, it makes sense, and it's true. I don't know if you were going to be able to continue the original with the way it was.

I'm surprised that you even read the story, most of the time you were stuck in the closet with Yami…by the way, that reminds me, you guys owe me a new set of sheets…. *slight glare and blush*

Yugi and Yami: *sweatdrop and blush* He-he, right…we'll get right on that…

You do that, but first, do the disclaimer, please…

Yami: Very well, Yami Half-Demon does not own Yu-Gi-Oh, just the plot….so enjoy the re-write…

Oh! FYI: Yami's got his own body, ok? Ok...

One day at the Game shop…

"Hey, Yami?" Yugi called up the stairs where the spirit of the puzzle was in his room. Said spirit walked out of the room and stood at the top of the stairs.

"Yes, Yugi?" he responded

"Do you think you could help me with the boxes of new shipments? I need to have them out on display by today."

"Sure." Yami replied as he walked down the stairs. Once there they walked into the storage room to pick up the boxes. It took a while as most of the boxes were pretty heavy and required both of them to grab on to one box at a time. Once, their hands brushed up against each others as they reached for the same box, which got them turning away from each other, not noticing each other's blush.

"S-sorry." Yugi said

"I-it's ok." Yami said.

After that small awkward moment, they continued working and managed to get all the boxes they needed and proceeded to take out the merchandise and place them on display. As they worked, each had the same thing on their minds: each other. You see Yami and Yugi both like each other very much, but they fear rejection, so they've kept their feelings a secret from each other, trying to act as normal as possible.

As Yami was setting up a cardboard cutout of the Dark Magician, his thoughts were focused on the encounter back in the storage room.

'Wow that was really close. Good thing for the dim lighting, otherwise Yugi might have seen the way I reacted. If that had happened out here he might've gotten suspicious. But I can't keep hiding it forever. Sooner or later I'm gonna slip up and he'll figure it out. Every time I see or hear him I just want to grab him and kiss him. Before that happens I need to tell him how I feel. I should just tell him straight out, but… ah! Why is this so difficult!'

Unfortunately, Yami left the mind link open for Yugi to catch that last part—

/Why is what so difficult, Yami? /

/Umm…n-nothing, Yugi. I'm just having a little trouble getting this cutout to stand on its own. /

/ Oh, do you need any help? /

/N-no, that's ok. I figured it out. Thank you for offering, though. / 'Damn. I'm already starting to slip up. Before I was able to keep the mind link sealed tight, even in my sleep! I really need to be more careful.'

What he didn't know was that Yugi was thinking almost the same thing.

'I wish I could tell him how I feel. He's been on my mind a lot recently, so much so that I've been zoning out. And now I can't seem to function unless I see or hear him throughout the day. This is becoming a problem. I need to tell him.'

And the rest of the afternoon went on in silence as the two were on opposite sides of the room setting up the displays, each completely lost in their thoughts.

Later that night….

"Goodnight, Yami." Yugi said as he climbed into his bed.

"Goodnight, Yugi." Yami responded as he too climbed into his own bed in the bedroom they shared. Soon they were both in a deep sleep.

Unbeknownst to them, the duel monsters deck they left on the desk began to glow as a beam of light shot out of the deck. The light soon took the familiar form of the Dark Magician Girl. She was floating in the middle of the room looking at both boys. She seemed to be lost in thought as she kept switching between Yami and Yugi.

'Aww… they look so cute when their asleep, but they would look even cuter sleeping together. If only they were able to ignore their fears and confess. There would certainly be less tension between them and everyone else back in the deck would stop complaining. Even their friends can see how much they want each other. Now, how to get them to confess….Oh! I know!'

And with that, she raised her staff and waved it in front of her. Golden dust flew from it and landed on both boys before it glowed and disappeared. Seeing her job done, she began to glow as she went back into the deck.

'Good luck masters!' she thought with a giggle as the deck lost its glow.
