Chapter 4

Yugi tried to go to the sleeping Yami but he was stopped by Anubis "wait Yugi, I need to tell you something important! There are some … how should I say it? Disadvantages" Yugi looked at him surprised "what do you mean? Didn´t I already sacrifice all I should? So why the hell are there disadvantages now?"Anubis looked over to Yami and then back to Yugi "Yes, that's true but … the disadvantages have to do with the sacrifices. Do you understand?" Yugi didn´t know what to do "and what exactly are these disadvantages?"

Yugi looked worriedly and slightly annoyed at Anubis. How could this be? Why the hell where there disadvantages now? What were all the sacrifices for, when there still were disadvantages? Was it still not enough? It was getting a little too much for him! Yugi sighed and repeated his question, "So what are these disadvantages?" Anubis took a deep breath and began "the disadvantages are somewhat related to the sacrifices one made" Yugi looked interested and listened " So in your case, since you gave the pharaoh a part of your soul, you two are mentally linked together" (Like in the Anime, where they could talk with one another mentally? got it??^^I know it´s more of an advantage, but Yugi needs a little happiness once in a while, ne??^^) Yugi's eyes sparkled with joy "And how exactly does this link work?" Anubis replied with a mischievous grin "well, that´s something you must find out on your own " Yugi looked a little bit disappointed but Anubis continued with his talk "But this was just the good news, it´s time for the bad ones now" Yugi gulped and you could see clearly the feeling of fright in his eyes "Because the body of the pharaoh was "born" from your body, you will feel a strong desire for him. Physically and mentally when you know what I mean!" Anubis grinned at that and Yugi looked wide eyed and shocked at Anubis "Don´t underestimate this feelings, particularly not the physically ones. This desire is the most strongest, because your body will feel incomplete without the pharaohs (1)!"

Yugi blushed and looked at the ground. For some strange reason, he found the ground rather interesting. Well, that was until the heat in his face subsided, so that he could raise his head again "When you give your heart away, it will be really difficult to endure! If you´re asking: Why is that so? It´s because your feelings go far beyond friendship" Yugi was shocked and looked inquiringly at Anubis' "H-how d-do you know that?"
Yugi's face looked a lot like a tomato at the moment and so he looked back at the ground quickly. All he could do was to hope, that his embarrassment wasn´t noticed. Because of that, he nervously played with his fingers. (^^) Anubis looked amused and grinned even more than before, "How I know that? Hmm, I am a god! Naturally, I know such things! Since I have answered your question, I can proceed with the more important things, right?" Yugi nodded and his face was bright red "Well, where was I? A yes, your heart! With your ´heart´ you give him the to opportunity to feel and because of that, your feelings towards him will get stronger and stronger!"

Yugi looked up at Anubis, his face was a little less red now "and what's the bad thing about that? I-I mean, I´ve since a long time feelings for the Pharaoh!"Anubis sighted "That may be true, but the feeling, that you will have are going to be so much stronger than they are now. They will be so strong, that you´ll feel like you can´t stand it, if you can´t touch, speak or see him. Your soul and body will be demanding the pharaoh! Also you will never love any other person as much as him. Even when you find another love, you will still feel the desire to make all the things with the pharaoh, what you do with your other partner. If you even can do these kind of things, of course! but it´s not 100% sure that the pharaoh will love you back! There were a lot that weren´t loved back by their loved ones. Out of desperation and pain they broke the rules and were punished!" Anubis said calmly as he waited for Yugi's response. Yugi clenched his hands into fists in the meantime. His eyes were fixed on the ground. You could hear the smaller one sobbing. Then, suddenly, he raised his head and starred teary-eyed at the God of Death "COULDN`T you have said that a little bit earlier? DON´T YOU THINK IT WOULD BE FAIRER? All these people who died out of sorrow, because they weren´t loved back! It´s terrible when you know you´re so in love with somebody, that you will never get over him/her and that the chances, that you are loved back are so low! I just want my Pharaoh, my Yami, my other half/me back! I have NEVER believed that he would fall in love with me! But … BUT ALL THESE PEOPLE DID AND YOU DIDN´T EVEN FOUND IT NECESSERY TO SAY THIS BEFOREHAND!!! WHY?"

Anubis looked shocked, but then grew his face serious, "That are the rules! If you like it or not!! When you give something you want something as suitable as you gave, back as a reward. That´s how it works!" Yugi shook his head and whispered "rules, huh?". "Anyway," Yugi was startled by the harsh tone and looked up at Anubis. Tears ran down his cheeks and it didn´t look like it would stop soon. "My job here is done! I leave you and the Pharaoh alone now "said Anubis as he created a passage to the underworld with his ankh. But he stopped in front of the entrance and turned around "before I forget. Watch out that you do not break the rules! We don´t want that something bad happens to you, ne? With these words, Anubis turned around and went through the passage. After a few minutes, the portal closed itself and the both boys were left alone in the room.

Yugi wiped his tears away *hm, what would Yami say, if he see me like this?!! I can´t let him see or he´s going to get overanxious towards me again* Yugi giggled at the thought.*I´m just so happy, that I got him back!* he began to smile and rubbed his eyes , they were really red. Just one look at him and one could guess that he had been crying just several minutes ago. Some minutes later and with now clear vision, Yugi headed towards Yami. Yami was still asleep on the table-like stone as Yugi reached him. Yugi stood in front of Yamis face and studied it for a few minutes *now that I think about it … I've never seen Yami sleep! He looks so peaceful almost vulnerable!* Yugi let his gaze wander over Yami whole body. He started at the neck, over broad shoulders to his strong arms and stopped at Yamis chest. Yugi blushed, he had never seen Yami's naked upper body … well, now he had and exactly that was the reason why he couldn´t turn his eyes, from the sight before him, away. He just couldn´t, even if he wanted to (^^) it wouldn´t work. He was in something, what could be called a trance. So he just did what he thought his eyes wanted. He watched the taller one of the both. Yugi was clearly fascinated by the rhythmic rise and fall of the chest, the slightly strong muscles and a highly visible six-pack.

Yugi could feel his blood flow to his face, which was beet red in mere seconds *Damn! Take it easy Yugi! Calm down! I need to stop this! Man, why does Yami look this good?! It´s so not fair! * Yugi thought pouting. Necessarily, Yugi ripped his gaze off Yamis chest he went down more with his eyes on Yamis body. Just as Yugi noticed where his eyes leaded him to, it was already too late, he still made the mistake. A really bad mistake. Yugi gulped, the way Yugi looked at his other half couldn´t be called a stare. It would be an understatement! *Ohmygodohmygodohmygod!! Fortunately, he still wears a shroud! Even though it´s scanty!* he looked even redder at the thought that crossed his mind *He looks really hot! … GAH! Not again! What the hell is wrong with me?! Pull yourself together, will you!" He shook his head as thought he wanted to get the redness out of his face. "Could it be that the disadvantages work already? If´s so, that was pretty fast!*. "Nn" Yugi stopped his train of thoughts "wha-what was that?" Yugi searched the room with his eyes, but couldn´t find anything that could have made such a sound.

Well, that was until he looked in front of him *oh, I think he wakes up soon! * Yugi smiled with joy. He couldn´t wait for Yami to wake up. But when he thought about Yami and waking up, he panicked "crap, crap, crap! What am I going to do, when he wakes up! How can I explain to him, why he isn´t dead anymore without telling him my secret? Damn! * Yugi was restless *O God, what am I going to do?! Wait, first of all I should take him out of here! After that is done I can still think about a way to tell him a good excuse!* Calming down again, he looked from Yami to the entrance and back again *Ok! This could get more difficult than I thought! Maybe I can carry him? But … he doesn´t exactly look like he will be easy to carry!* Yugi´s face darkened, he thought about other ways to get the ex-pharaoh out of this hole, but it didn´t help a bit. Yugi sighted, his best idea was to carry the pharaoh *I could just try to carry him … maybe it´s going to work?

I hope that he isn´t heavier than one of these stupid carpets that I had to carry for grandpa! They were heavy like hell!! And he´s not much bigger than I am! Although I did grow over the last week! Well, I´m still the shortest but I don´t need to dislocate my neck when I want to talk to my friends anymore! Ah, I need to stop thinking so much! Come on!* Just a few minutes later, was the plan implemented into action. Yugi took a deep breath and heaved Yami on his back (lol, best ever!) so that Yamis upper body laid on Yugi's back. Since Yugi was a little shorter than Yami, Yamis feet still touched the ground. Yugi went through the huge room and arrived at the corridor. Yugi was breathing harder and harder by each minute, his legs became increasingly difficult to move *How can he be so heavy?! Boa incredible! I can´t bear this anymore!! No, I must persevere I can see the way out already!*

As Yugi was outdoors again, he was just plain happy. First, the hole was just large enough to allow both of them to get through and second, he finally had Yami back. He smiled to himself till he felt how much heavier his legs had become. Yugi wasn´t surprised when they gave in and so he went along with it and hit, with Yami on top of him, the ground. Panting, he rested for a while. As minutes passed Yami got too heavy for the little Hikari, so he carefully lifted Yami up and slid out from under his body. After another short break he was fit again. Just as he wanted to load Yami on his back again, startled him a well-known voice "Yugi? What are you doing here- "The person stopped and stared at Yugi. Well, probably more at the person on his back then him. When he was about to open his mouth to say something, he was interrupted by the person "Yu-Yugi? Isn´t that? He's back? How did he do that?" The questioned looked at the other person and watched as she began to cry with joy

"U-um well ... um ... how should I say? "
"Don´t beat around the bush! Answer me!" hissed the now angry person.
Yugi took a deep breath "All right! But you must promise me something, ok Tea? "
Tea glared at him half curious half-sour "yes, yes, whatever! Now say it!" Yugi sighed and continued,
"All right, I brought Yami back! But he mustn't ever learn about the truth! Do you hear me, never! "

Tea looked at the shorter one (just a bit shorter^^) in confusion "and how did you do it?" Yugi just shrugged "I'm sorry, but I can´t and won´t tell you!"
Yugi could see something strange twinkling in Teas eyes and that worried him slightly,
"so, let me get this straight. You can´t tell Yami and the others that you were the one who retrieved him, am I right?" Began Tea and Yugi nodded, "if that´s so, then what are you going to tell Yami, when he wakes up and asks you out, about how he came back into our world?" Yugi held in his breath *she's right! Damn, I still don´t know what I can tell him!" Tea noticed Yugis restlessness and smiled a nasty smile, which Yugi wasn´t paying attention to. He was too lost in thoughts "I have an idea" Yugi ended his thoughts and looked at Tea "So how about this?! I could take care of him for you and tell him an excuse or something like that! Oh, and while I explain it to him, you'd better go back to the hotel! I'm worried, you look really exhausted! I don´t want that anything happens to you!"

Yugi thought about it. It was after all, not a bad idea and Tea was much better than he was about making up excuses and such. (aka excuses: lies;)). Nevertheless, Yugi had a bad feeling in his stomach, which he is skillfully ignored *she´s my friend! I should trust her! But ... No, she's a friend, so I trust her! Came what may!* Tea watched the other curiously but was sure that her 'friend' will agree. That was her plan after all. "You're right Tea, but don´t say anything to him ´key? You know what I mean" Yugi looked a little bit worried "don´t worry Yugi. I'll take care of him and meet you in the hotel after I told him a good excuse, why he´s here and how he came here" Yugi nodded weakly and went to his, still sleeping, other half. He laid his jacket on top of Yami, so that it covered his chest. It was too big for Yugi anyway and he didn´t want to let Yami walk through the streets without it or rather without something that shielded his body from lusty stares. (Oh, how mean. Yugi doesn´t want to share ;))

He briefly and gently stroked he cheek of the Ex-Pharaoh, the uncomfortable feeling in his stomach pushed he back in his mind, as he got up and went over to Tea "I´ll, see you and Yami at the hotel then" said Yugi and walked the way towards a near bus stop. He looked back briefly, but then went on again. When he saw a bus standing at the bus stop he widened his eyes *damn* he said in thought as he began to run to the bus. Fortunately there were enough passengers at the bus stop. He was sweaty, out of breath and tired but he made it in time! He got on the bus, paid for the ticket and sat down at a window seat. But he couldn´t come to a rest, he was by Tea and Yami in his thoughts and this uncomfortable feeling wouldn´t leave him alone. The more he thought about the two being alone together the more the feeling got unbearable. But it was already too late to do something about it or change it. So he let the bus drive him back to the town. Really what could happen? Or rather, what could happen between 2 people being alone together?

By Yami and Tea (Teas view)

Tea had almost freaked out! How could Yugi dare to touch Yami? ´Her´ Yami?
The little rat had exploited the situation shamelessly and touched Yami, when he was unconscious. Tea was foaming with rage, but that wasn´t the only thing that disturbed her. Her `friend 'allowed himself plenty of time with her future boyfriend/husband. She was the one who loved Yami the most/best (?) and she really just wanted to jump on Yugi and inflict as much pain as possible for fasting on `her` Yami! But she couldn´t do that, even thought she wanted to. She still needed to put up her façade of a 'good friend´. But that was over now! After all, she got Yami again and didn´t need the others in her ´happy little world´. Furthermore, the situation was just right. Now, she could fawn on Yami and make him fall for her. Heck, she even knew what `excuse ' she would tell him. With these thoughts she disappeared in her own dreams/fantasies. (I don´t want to punish you so … I let you out of them!!^^) But then a noise brought her back to reality. She could see that Yami had just opened his eyes and stretched himself out, just to look confused at his surroundings afterwards. Tea grinned and walked over to `her 'Yami "Oh, you're awake!" She could see how he turned his head and looked slightly dazed and confused at her. Tea rejoiced inwardly, now was finally her turn! She would cut out cold her competitor (Yugi)! She had waited far too long for her chance. All her suffering because of the amorous attention from Yugi to Yami and backwards, too bad for them, that they didn´t notice the feelings of each other. Well, whatever Yugi had his chance, now was Teas turn. "Tea? What am I doing here?! Wait how come, that I´m here? "Tea smiled on his question. Yes, now was her chance "How you can be back? It´s quite simple actually, I´ve brought you back! "Yami looked stunned "and how did you do that?" A blush appeared on her cheeks as she looked in his fiery red eyes (2). After some time of silence she forced herself to get a grip of herself. Yami didn´t look like he wanted to wait any longer for her answer and so she said "I think you should rest a little! I´ll tell you after you´re fit again ´key?! "Tea smiled sweetly (*chough*chough*) at him
" come on, let´s take the bus to town and go back to our hotel. The others are in for a big surprise!" Yami smiled brightly and nodded. He was glad that he could stay with his friends and looked forward in meeting them again. (Even thought it was just a week, ne?^^)

He looked even more forward on meeting a certain someone again.

So that´s it! What do you think?
Please review!!^^

(1) Nope, it´s going to be just Lime! srry^^ But that doesn´t mean, that they doesn´t show their feelings!!^^ (and kisses^^)

(2) I like Yami more with red eyes and red hair-ends (Yugi violet eyes and hair-ends) Why did they change it? Why!

So I hope you enjoyed it! Sorry that It took so long!!Even thought I said I would upload sooner!! T.T!! No time, no time!! Stupid school!! T.T

I don´t care, Yugi´s a bit taller in my story! (Yugi = a little bit shorter than Tea! Yami = a little bit shorter than Joey!) It ´s after the end of the anime and he also has finally hit puberty, be happy! Thanks for your understanding :). See you soon! (I hope^^)
