Oh My Ra, I'm such a bad person for being too lazy to update this! I'm sooooooo sorry! Anway, I'll let you get straight onto reading this, since you've been waiting oh-so-patiently ^^

Disclamier: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! :p


That night, Yugi sat on the sofa in his sitting room, continuously glancing at the clock.

6:30. 6:32. 6:32. 6:35. 6:36.

Damn, why did time go so slowly?

Meanwhile, from the other side of the room, Yami noticed his light's unease. All through dinner, Yugi continued to shift uncomfortably, and hardly touched his hamburger, which was saying something, seeing as it was Yugi's favourite food.

"Yugi, why don't you go upstairs? You're not going to do yourself any good by worrying about Rebecca."

Yugi turned his head towards him and smiled a little.

"Are you sure? I don't want to leave you on your own with Rebecca if you're uncomfortable with it..."

"I'll be fine, little one. I'll come and see you when I've sorted it all out."Yami said, smiling back at his light. The said boy beamed and stood to go upstairs. Before he did though, he changed his course and walked to Yami, hugging him and muttering a small "Thank you" before retreating to his room, a furious blush on his cheeks. The former Pharaoh smirked at the young boy and took Yugi's place on the sofa, continuously looking at the clock just as he had, and putting the final details on just what to say to Rebecca...

~YGO!~

6:53.

DING DONG! DING DONG! DING DONG!

Yami was startled out of his thoughts as the doorbell rang, a very impatient person ringing it. He cursed under his breath and strode to the door, regaining his pride and pomp as he opened it to a little blonde girl.

"Good evening, Rebecca. A little early, aren't we?"he forced out, trying to sound as polite as possible. She simply turned her nose up and walked straight past him, into the hallway. As she neared the sitting room, she began to giggle and act like her bubbly, annoying self. She bounced into the room, exclaiming,

"How are you, my little Yugi?", before realising he wasn't even there. Turning to Yami, who now towered above her with folded arms in the doorway, she spat out,

"Where's my little Yugi? What have you done with him?"

Yami frowned and took a deep breath to calm himself. This girl really knew how to drive him 'round the bend.

"Yugi's upstairs, where you will not be seeing him. You'll be talking to me tonight."

"Why?"

"Because I have something important to discuss with you, regarding Yugi."

"Fine."she huffed, sitting down on the sofa. Yami took the armchair opposite her and began,

"Now, Rebecca, as far as I know, you have had a big crush on Yugi since you first met?"Rebecca nodded, and Yami continued, "However, I think that hugging him and calling him your boyfriend is taking it a step too far."

"What? That's ridiculous, Yugi loves me and I know it!"Rebecca snapped, punching the seat of the sofa.

"Yes, but has Yugi ever told you so? All this time you claim to be in a relationship with him, yet the three most important words have never left his lips."Yami retorted calmly, keeping his cool as Rebecca slowly lost it.

"Shut up! Shut up, SHUT UP! I know Yugi loves me! I'm the best choice for him! I'm an Inter-Continental Champion at Duel Monsters, an absolute genius, my grandfather is highly respected and most importantly, I'm actually a GIRL! Don't think I haven't seen you looking at him, Pharaoh!"

By now, Rebecca was on her feet, glaring daggers at Yami and breathing furiously quickly. Yami's brow furrowed and he desperately wished he still had his Shadow Magic. One click of his fingers and this girl could have been locked forever in the Shadow Realm, her soul being slowly devoured by the foulest creatures imaginable.

"Now look here Rebecca. I do not wish for this to become an uncivilised conversation, so if you wouldn't mind, please re-take your seat. Continuing from what you said, it's what Yugi wants, not you. What happens if he would rather be with someone who isn't all the things you are? It's his choice, and it makes him happy. As for you being a girl, have you ever heard Yugi say he's straight? How do you know he isn't gay? Or bisexual?"The former Pharaoh continued calmly, watching as Rebecca sat back down and tried to regain her composure. She hissed and growled at everything Yami said, and was obviously holding a comment back.

"Rebecca, if you wish to speak, please do so. You look like your teddy-bear just got hit by a car, and it's not a flattering look."

"Fine! Have you ever heard Yugi say his sexual preference? How do you know whether he's straight or not? I guess when he chooses me over you, or says that he really is straight, it'll be an awful loss for you. Maybe then you'll just go back to the Afterlife, where you belong!"

That just about used up the last bit of patience Yami had with this Ra-damned little girl. Rising from his seat, his eyebrow twitching in fury, he seethed out,

"Why don't we just go and ask him what his preference is then?"

Then began the epic battle to see who could reach Yugi first. On the usually short journey up the stairs to Yugi's room, blonde bunches and lightning-shaped bangs were pulled, tugged and yanked. Red-rimmed glasses were removed and snapped. Studded leather chokers lived up to their name as they were tightened to the extreme. Grunts and screams of pain rang out as feet, fists and even teeth made contact with the opposing person. By the time they both stood outside Yugi's door, they were battered, bruised and ruffled, Rebecca missing her glasses, and Yami, his choker. They both stared at the white wooden door in front of them, and prepared for the next stage,

"3... 2... 1... CHARGE!"

~YGO!~

"Y-Yami! R-R-Rebecca! Wh-what are you doing?"

Yugi looked down in shock and disbelief at the prodigy and the Pharaoh, sprawled out on his bedroom floor, having just burst through his door screaming about Ra knows what. The two of them were rubbing their heads and groaning slightly, but quickly scrambled to their feet and straightened up, before bombarding Yugi with questions at exactly the same time. Poor Yugi could only sit there with his big panda eyes looking between the two, a confounded look on his face.

"Please, one at a time, I can't understand you!"he cried, waving his hands frantically to gain their attention. Seeing the frantic gestures, they began to calm down and their mouths came to a halt.

"Okay now, one at a time."

Then came the complete ignorance of Yugi's request. Yami and Rebecca battled to see who cold be hear more, raising their voices to unnecessary levels, until the two stood screaming in his face. Yugi still couldn't understand them, but due to all the shouting taking place near his ear, he got the drift of the, um, 'conversation'...

"D-do I like guys or girls...?"he stuttered out, blushing red. The two in front of him suddenly stopped screaming bloody murder and nodded, watching him intently for his answer.

'If he likes girls, I'm his only choice! Not only will it crush the Pharaoh, but I'll get my little Yugi all to myself!'Rebecca thought, crossing her fingers for luck. The Pharaoh was thinking the opposite,

'If Yugi says he prefers guys, I'm still in with a chance! I suppose I still am if he says he likes both, but... what will I do if he's straight? ...I guess I'll just continue to watch over and be happy for my light... that is my duty after all...'

Yugi looked at the floor, blushing heavily. He couldn't say it! Not in front of Yami! What if he didn't understand? Yami would leave him! And if Yami left him... he loved him, he wouldn't be able to continue with life!

"Yugi, will you hurry up? Surely it's not that hard to know which gender you lean towards!"Rebecca urged, tapping her foot impatiently.

"Be quiet, Rebecca! Yugi, don't be embarrassed to say it. It doesn't matter to me if you don't like girls." 'Oh, but it does. So very much...'

Breathing a small sigh of relief that Yami didn't mind, he opened his mouth to finally speak,

"Well, y-you see... I-I, erm... I like b-both, but I suppose I... um, lean over to g-guys more..."

Yami's face broke out into a big smile. Rebecca's jaw dropped.

"NO! IT'S NOT FAIR! WHY SHOULD THE PHARAOH GET YOU INSTEAD OF ME? WHY IS HE MORE DESERVING?"she screamed. The two boys flushed together.

"R-Rebecca, I-I never mentioned Yami..."Yugi spluttered out, trying not to go an even deeper crimson. 'I wish I had though...'

As Yami stood next to his beautiful blushing hikari, he decided it was now or never. Yugi wasn't stupid, and if he had figured out Rebecca's ever-so-subtle hint, Yami needed to act now. He turned to the other boy and took his hands, looking deep into his eyes and ignoring the butterflies in his stomach.

"Yugi, I need to be completely honest with you. I-I... love you... That's why I begged to return here with a body of my own. Waiting for you to come along to the Afterlife too was just too hard. I watched over you every day, and my heart broke seeing you, yet not being able to speak to to, hold you, kiss you..."

With those last words said, the former Pharaoh leant down and kissed his little aibou. Yugi's head spun and he slowly closed his eyes. He had only ever dreamed about this moment, he never thought it would actually come... Gently pressing his lips back into Yami's, he held back his tears of joy and savoured the moment...

~YGO!~

Yami just couldn't believe his luck. He had finally confessed to Yugi... Fair enough, this was not the romantic hillside-at-sunset he had always planned on, especially not with Rebecca screaming and bawling in the background, but it was good enough for him. And Yugi was actually kissing back...

For the sake of starving lungs, the two finally parted and took well-needed breaths, looking into the eyes of the other.

"I love you, my Pharaoh."

"I love you too, aibou."

"NO! YUGI, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO LOVE ME!"

The two turned to see Rebecca screaming at them, throwing a tantrum and just generally acting like she was no more than 3 years old.

"Why are you still here? Get out! We didn't ask you to interrupt us, and we didn't ask you to watch us either! Go home!"Yami told her, growling and clutching Yugi to himself. She gave one last cry of despair, before turning on heel and storming out of the room. The slam of the front door left peace and quiet ringing through the house.

"I'm glad she's gone... Thank you Yami, for sorting her out."

"You're welcome Yugi, but in truth, I think you are the one who sorted her out."

"How?"

"Well, you told her the truth. That you lean towards men. And that is what drove her off."Yami smiled, ruffling Yugi's hair. The smaller giggled and snuggled further into Yami, before saying something that made the former Spirit turn white,

"...so, what were you saying about begging for a body?"
