Since I'm almost done with my other story, Aquatic Affections, I've decided to focus on this story a bit more. Last chapter was mainly about Yugi, so this one will be about Yami. Don't worry, they'll meet up next chapter! I don't own Yugioh.

Yami had walked up to the door of his condo.

He worked until midnight or later and would collapse in his bed from exhaustion.

He did have one person to look forward to see, though.

Anzu Misaki, his one true love. Or at least he thought she was his soul mate.

When he opened his door, he heard her giggling and then... kissing noises?

He followed the source of the sound, and was shocked to find Anzu and another man on his bed, locking lips, and enjoying it!

"What the fuck!" he yelled scaring the two.

"Oh Yami," Anzu said nervously. "Tom and I were... uh practicing mouth to mouth resuscita-"

"Like hell you were!" he interrupted. "How could you do this to me?"

"Well, how could you keep leaving me here alone?" she asked.

"You know I have work," he told her. "But why did you betray me?"

"Because you never gave me enough love!" she cried. "But with Tom, he gave me all the love I wanted."

Tom just smiled at her, making Yami want to puke.

"I can't believe you," Yami growled. "You're nothing but a slut!"

Anzu's eyes grew in size, as she became just as furious. "Don't you ever call me that Yami Atemu!"

"What you gonna do, Miss.Slutty McSlut Slut?" he asked.

Right then and there, she threw a vase, which was on a stand beside her, and threw it at his head.

Luckily, Yami ducked at the right time, avoiding disaster.

"Get out of my house!" he bellowed.

"FINE!" she screamed. "Come on Tom, we're leaving."

Right before they exited Anzu turned to Yami and said, "You're destined to be alone, Yami. No one can love a man like you."

She slammed the door on her way out.

Yami was beyond depressed at that point.

In a matter of minutes, his love life was in the dump. He feel to his knees and let his head fall in frustration.

'Anzu's right, I'm not the type of man who's meant for love,' he thought.

He got up and fell onto his bed. He stared at the ceiling for a few minutes before falling dead asleep.

---

Waking up, Yami was wondering if last night's events was just a bad dream.

"Anzu, are you here?" he called out.

Looking around the room and noticing the broken vase, he knew it wasn't a dream.

'Oh yeah, I'm love challenged,' he reminded himself.

The phone beside his bed began to ring.

"Hello?" he answered.

"Hey Yami, what's up?" a cheerful voice greeted.

"Hey Jou," he greeted. "Nothing good has been going on with me."

He had formed a relationship with the blond ever since Jou married his cousin, Seto Kaiba.

"What's wrong?" he asked with concern. "Anything to do with Anzu?"

"Well to sum it all up, I worked away most of my life, Anzu cheated on me, and I realized I'm destined to live a loveless life," he informed his friend.

"Nah man, you're gonna find love," he assured Yami. "Anzu never seemed right for you. Besides, there are other fish in the sea."

"Yeah, whatever."

"You should come over to Domino city," Jou suggested. "You know, to get away from it all."

"I don't know," Yami said. "I don't wanna risk my job."

"You know Seto will give you a job here," he told him. "It will have better hours, too."

"Yeah, but I still have a social problem," Yami reminded him.

"Who knows, Yami," Jou said. "Maybe you'll find some romance here."

'I highly doubt it,' he thought.

After Yami had gotten off his plane to Domino city, he was greeted by his cousin Seto and Jou.

"Hey Jou," he greeted. "Hey Kaiba."

"Hey buddy," Jou smiled. "Long time, no see."

"Hey Yami," Seto said. "Heard about Anzu. What a bitch."

"You're telling me," Yami snorted. "I still can't believe she left me like that."

"Don't worry Yami," Jou assured. "Just remember, there are-"

"Yeah, yeah, other fish in the sea," Yami finished.

"Glad you remember."

Once they got over to the limo, Yami asked, "So where do I stay?"

"We arranged to get you a nice little apartment just a little less than a mile from Kaiba Corp, your new work place," Seto explained.

"Thanks a lot, Seto."

"Right, now let's get over to your place, so you can get settled."

"Remember you could always call us if you have any problems," Jou reminded him.

"Thanks guys, I really mean it," Yami said.

Once he was dropped off, Yami made his way to his new home.

He looked around his new apartment and decided to unpack.

"Looks like this is my opportunity to start over again," he told himself. "Maybe this time I will find love."

He took out a photo album and ripped up all the pictures of Anzu.

"There's not reason to remember a mistake like her," he decided.

After getting rid of all the pictures, he heard someone knocking his door.

"Coming," he called.

He opened the door, to find a pretty looking red headed lady. She had gentle, emerald eyes, and a welcoming smile.

"Hi, I couldn't help but notice a new neighbor moving in," she greeted. "So I decided to pop by and welcome you here."

He smiled at the kind the kind gesture and thanked her.

"Well, I hope we could perhaps be friends one day," she said.

"I'll think about it," he told her.

Before he was about to say 'good-bye,' she added, "Do want me and my boyfriend to help you unpack? He'll be glad to help."

"No, that's alright," Yami said. "Thanks for dropping by, though."

"Oh, no problem," she said. "By the way, I'm Sonya Keimyou."

"Yami Atemu."

They shook hands, and then Sonya left back to her place.

'She was nice and all, but I'm not ready to make friends.' he thought.

After finishing unpacking, Yami went over to his bed and laid down.

'Starting tomorrow, I start a whole new life,' he thought. 'Hopefully this time will go right for me.'

Ta-da! Wasn't that fun to read? Probably not, but the story will really get going next chapter. This is like one of those introductions of the characters. Well, see you all next time, when I feel better. This stupid cold is driving me mad! Toodles. :-)
