2. The Kiss of Treason

The rain went heavier and the lights of the patrol invaded the dark, humid room by filtering through the windows as Kiryu simply smiled. He was trapped, but still had hopes, very strong ones. He heard the smash of the glass next to him. Yusei, who had jumped through it in order to get into the room, stood before him and Kiryu stared at his wet, serious face.

Kiryu laughed. ''You are my friend. You and me, Yusei. We are Team Satisfaction.''

Yusei wanted to speak, but Kiryu hastened his pace when walking towards him and wrapped his arms around him. But it wasn't a hug. It was... some kind of cold, loveless touch.

''Kiryu'' Yusei said, forcing him to stop the gesture ''This is insane. You have to leave the building.''

''Yusei? You don't believe in Team Satisfaction, do you? We have struggled to get to this. We just have to win this last duel.''

''No'' he answered, crossing his arms ''This is dangerous and unnecessary. Let's leave right now.''

Of course Kiryu was glad to see Yusei again after some weeks of knowing nothing about him, but those things he had felt the night Yusei left Team Satisfaction had nothing on the power that he was so obsessed with getting.

''No!'' he exclaimed.

''Let's get back to what we were, please. We can escape and live.'' He said, as he gently searched for Kiryu's hands, but they couldn't be found.

''I said no!'' he exclaimed ''We are about to win it all. Why can't you understand it?!''

Yusei glared at him ''If I can't understand it, I better leave.''

Kiryu ran to halt him, almost piercing Yusei's arm with his fingernails.

''No'' he said, smiling ''You won't leave!''

Yusei showed a perplexed expression when he saw Kiryu's wicked smile and he didn't release him.

''Kiryu, let go of me.'' he implored. The blue-haired didn't answer and he didn't listen either. Instead, he pushed Yusei and he fell on his knees. Before the dark-haired could say anything, Kiryu ran and left the building, taking his deck with himself.

Yusei ran after him, but when he got out of the building, Kiryu wasn't near anymore. He was not seen anywhere near Yusei. The latter stood there, and caressed his own arms, pressing the area in which Kiryu had harmed him. After some sneezes and some minutes of thinking what to do, he slowly walked towards the patrols and positioned himself where its lights clearly illuminated his whole figure.

''I am the leader of Team Satisfaction'' he shouted, raising his right arm and pointing at his chest with the left one ''I am guilty, the others are innocent.''

''That is not necessary, kid.'' said one of the cops who appeared behind him ''We already found him.''

Among the shadows between two patrols, Kiryu's body appeared, captured by several other cops. His hands formed fists but he wasn't struggling against them.

''Kiryu!'' Yusei shouted, extending his arm, as if he could get him again by just doing that.

''Please, this is a misunderstanding'' he told the cop that stood next to him, who simply patted Yusei's shoulder and laughed.

After seeing this gesture, Kiryu opened his eyes wider than he usually did.

''Yusei! You sold me?'' he shouted. A lump formed in his throat as he tried not to let his rage make him burst into tears.

''No, Kiryu! You don't understand.'' he tried to explain, shaking his head.

''Yusei!'' he kept screaming ''You traitor!''

He was quickly forced to get inside the patrol, but he didn't move his sight away from Yusei's face.

'He'll never love me' Yusei thought as the rain slowly stopped. All of his hopes for his relationship with Kiryu were ruined for a simple misunderstanding.

''Kiryu!'' he howled to the dark sky above him as the patrols left him, letting out all of his anger and despair.

His already soaked knees touched the flooded soil and splashed water on his face, making it less obvious that he had cried, but his eyes' sclera was still a little red.

''No'' he said aloud, even if he was totally alone ''I will see him again. Somehow. You will someday, somehow, touch me the way I want you to, Kiryu Kyosuke.''

After this, he walked away from the place, to search for Crow or Jack. He'd probably explain them what had happened. Not that they could make much about it, but it would make Yusei feel a little less lonely.

He sneezed again.

Okay, so nobody kissed but from now on, most, if not all, of the titles for this story's chapters will have the word ''Kiss''.

I know this chapter was kind of pointless (not to mention short) since pretty much everything on it actually happened on the show. But it was important to the story, so I wrote it. You may wonder why I needed so much time to do this thingy but I actually have been working on some other writings (not just fanfiction). Also, school is very demanding and here in Mexico we start classes earlier than, I believe, they do in most english-speaking countries, not to mention we also start summer vacations later. But I'm getting very out of place. Anyway, sorry if this chapter was disappointing. I myself think it was kind of boring (since we all know what's going to happen), but I had to write it because the storyline demanded it. I promise the next chapters will be much better. Please review!
