Disclaimer: I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh, just the games on Nintendo Ds...I rock!

I paced his bedroom. There was so much to think about. At least he hadn't thrown me out which part of me expected him to do. His room hadn't changed much, it was still the same baby blue and posters of his favourite duel monsters lined the wall, some even featured himself the king of games up against Seto Kaiba. I smiled to myself. Those were good times. Even though at the time the main focus was as always saving the world, nothing beat the thrill of duelling in tournaments and outsmarting fantastic players like Seto. Nothing in the world is better than the look on Kaiba's face when a blue eyes was destroyed.

What had me pacing was the way Yugi reacted to me. He hadn't thought I was real. 'Stop it, this isn't fair, leave me alone, I can't do it anymore' the pain in his voice and eyes and how he backed away from me left me heartbroken. I couldn't stand to see what I'd done to him. How deeply I had affected him. But I knew I had. The way he ran up the stairs as if I was Ra himself, and locked himself in the bedroom, trying to be as far away from me as possible. I had no choice to follow him. I had to get him to forgive me; both our hearts were on the line.

'You're not real' he had shouted through the door. The certainty in his voice brought tears to my eyes. He thought he was hallucinating. How could I have done this to my Aibou? I had broken him. And then when he had finally let me in, I couldn't control myself my hands found his waist and I touched my forehead against his wanting so badly to kiss him, but I didn't want to scare him. And then the words that brought me to my knees, begging him to take me back. 'How can I trust you Yami, how am I supposed to let you back in my life when you ruined it when you left' how would I ever regain his trust, his love? Did I deserve him? Maybe Anzu was right and he would be better off with her.

'No!' My head and heart screamed at me. I couldn't, wouldn't give in. I had to get him back. The sooner the better. I stopped and looked at the clock. Half an hour had passed and Yugi wasn't back. Panic started to set in. As soon as I had him back with me I hadn't wanted him to leave. The very thought of him going in the shower and leaving me for a whole fifteen minutes terrified me. I was on the verge of breaking point I realised. My heart was in the palm of Yugi's small hand. Which he could crush so very easily. I couldn't let it happen. I had to be with him. Reassure him, that I would never leave him. Our relationship couldn't end in heartbreak. It just couldn't.

I was starting to get worried now. Where was he? He had said he'd only be fifteen minutes. But it had been double that. Maybe he had left. Maybe he couldn't face me, and he'd run before I had the chance to explain myself. My legs started to shake and my palms started to sweat. Where was he?

I stepped out into the hallway and located the bathroom. From inside I could hear sound of water running. Relief flooded through me. He was still here. He had said he'd gone to think. Maybe he was wound up in his thoughts and needed longer then he expected. But then the sound of sobbing reached my ears, and a shot of fear went through me. Did I go in? I didn't want to invade his privacy. But my Yugi was hurting, I had to help him.

I gently pushed open the door. The room was full of steam. The shower was clearly on too hot. I struggled to see in the amount of steam, but I prevailed and found my way over to the shower. My heart stopped beating. Yugi was curled up on the bottom of the shower, his body shaking despite the warmth; sobs wrecked his body adding to the tremors. He wasn't in good shape, and I could guess at his emotions. Confusion, as to why I was back, if I actually still wanted him. And even though it was pure innocent Yugi I could imagine he felt some hate towards me; I had left him on his own, without his partner, I'd be feeling hate too. And then of course fear, he was terrified now that he had got me back that I would leave him again; that I would break him, and I knew that he thought that if I did he would never survive it. He didn't trust me; it was as simple as that. I didn't need a mind link with him to know that. I would have to work at this.

I opened the door and turned the water down to a more medium temperature. Yugi didn't even realise I was there. I sighed, what did I do? I needed to conserve his modesty but get him out of here at the same time, and Yugi wasn't co-operating. I could help but notice that my Yugi had grown up. He was not muscled, but toned would be the word, he was perfect, and I couldn't help the arousal that I got from seeing him this way. I valiantly tried to control myself, and searched around for a towel. I took one off the side and then gently turned the water off. Now Yugi seemed to realise where he was.

'Wh-what?' he asked confused.

'Sshh' I comforted, bending down and laying the towel over him, 'you just collapsed I think, I was worried, you said you would be out in fifteen minutes, I didn't mean to invade your privacy'

'You did for the four years we were together' Yugi smirked. I smiled he had found some of his good humour which made me happy.

'True' I replied.

I made sure the towel was round him, then bent down and lifted him in my arms, earning a squeal from Yugi.

'Yami, put me down, I can walk'

'You collapsed Aibou, you're in no position to walk' I pulled him closer to my chest enjoying the feel of him. 'Besides I like having you this close' it was risky I didn't want to scare him. But I was pleased when a blush rose up on his cheeks and I winked at him in reply. He giggled softly before hiding his head in my shoulder. I sighed in happiness, this was bliss. Being with Yugi, holding him, laughing with him was all I ever wanted.

I entered his bedroom and gently carried him to the bed, making sure the towel was still around him I lowered him onto it. Then I stood back looking at him.

'Are you okay?' I asked uncertainly

'As well as I will ever be I suppose' he replied sighing. His hair was dripping onto his shoulders, and I couldn't help but watch fascinated as a drop of water ran down his beautiful skin. He must have realised I was looking for he pulled the towel up higher and didn't look me in the eye.

'Your beautiful Yugi' it was out before I could stop it, and I looked at him frightened, had I said too much?

I received a blush in reply, and an unsure smile. 'Thank you, I think' he replied. 'Could you turn around whilst I get changed?' he asked blushing even more as he said so.

'Sure' I replied smirking. 'If you really want me to' adding a wink on the end of good measure.

'Yami' Yugi groaned in embarrassment and I couldn't help imagine him moaning my name in other situations.

'Sorry, couldn't help it' I replied.

'Jeeze when did you become such a flirt?'Yugi asked.

'I didn't' I replied then leaning forward I ran a finger across his cheek and then down past his shoulders earning a gasp from him. 'It's you; you bring out the cheeky side in me'

Yugi rolled his eyes and gently pushed me away, thought not unkindly 'please just turn around'

I smiled and did as I was told. I heard Yugi get up and retrieve his pyjamas from under his quilt. I tried so hard not to picture what he was doing. But I failed miserably. I could picture him drying himself with the soft towel and I longed to do it for him. My lust for him was taking control of me. I was the one that needed a shower though not as hot as Yugi's.

'You can turn around now' he said.

I turned to find him sitting on top of his quilt, with his knees drawn up to his chest and his head rested on top of them. His tri coloured hair, so like my own drying into place. He looked the perfect picture of innocence. Which I wanted to surround myself in, to take it from him. I needed this boy in front of me. I clenched my hands into fists in the effort to stop myself from reaching for him.

'Tell me what happened' Yugi suddenly said.

'What do you mean?' I asked him.

'Why have you come back?'

'For you' I replied.

'Yes I get that part' Yugi said sarcastically and I couldn't help but grin, it was rare my Yugi was ever sarcastic. 'What I don't get is the how.'

I took a deep breath and prepared to tell him everything, knowing my chance at being with him rested on this very explanation.

'The immortal world, the afterlife, heaven, whatever you want to call it, held no luxuries for me. It was my own personal hell. I was forced to watch you, watch you live without me. It was only a year but I could tell our separation affected you just as much as me. I was dying.'

'What do you mean?' Yugi interrupted 'You were already dead'

'Yes' I replied unsure how I was meant to explain it. 'The immortal world was nothing but a white abyss for me. It was meant to be my own personal haven. but it wasn't and watching you mourn me and not being able to move on, broke me as I knew I felt the same. Ra came to me'

'Ra came to you?' Yugi asked confused.

'Yes' I said 'my place in the immortal world was meant to be my reward, for saving Egypt for saving mankind. But I never felt as if I really lived. The life I did have was over five thousand years ago, and even though I went back to relive them, I never felt like it was me actually living them, rather me just watching from the sidelines as someone who looked like me saved Egypt.'

'You never told me that' Yugi replied.

'There were lots of things I should have told you that I didn't, through my own selfishness and stupidity' I cursed myself. Yugi frowned in response.

'You shouldn't be so hard on yourself 'Yugi said. And I was grateful for his sympathy, but also a tad reluctant to accept it.

'Can you really say that, after all I put you through Yugi?' I asked him, his silence was confirmation enough.

'Anyway' I said continuing with my story. 'Ra came to me and offered me another chance. To live again, to live the life that was taken away from me, and to be with the boy I always wanted to be with. And the rest you know.'

'But that night' Yugi said. 'Remember that night, you told me that we were always meant to part, that you belonged to a different race and a different time'

He said it so bitterly that I winced I knew I had upset him that night.

'You have to understand, I thought you didn't want me' I said miserably.

'Didn't want you!' Yugi exclaimed 'I loved you'

I looked up at him then. Shocked. ' You loved me?' I asked staring at him wide eyed.

Yugi jumped off the bed and it was his turn to start and pace.

'Of course I did. How could I not? You were everything to me, my best friend, my guide, my idol, you were everything' he repeated. 'And you left.'

'I thought it was what you wanted' I said not looking at him. 'I thought you wanted us to part'

'How could you think I wanted you to leave?' he asked on the verge of shouting now.

I was on my feet too by this point, anger beginning to rise. 'Because of the way you duelled'

Yugi stopped dead in his tracks. 'What?' he asked.

'The way you duelled Yugi' I replied my anger simmering down now 'in all the opponents we ever faced together I had never ever seen you duel against them like you did me. You put everything into that game Yugi. You were amazing, and I thought wow he must really want to me to go, he's coming up with moves I had never thought of before.'

'So you left me, because I beat you in some lousy card game?' Yugi asked.

'You don't get it' I replied. 'In all my years I had never seen anyone as talented or as cunning in the game as you. I just thought, you wanted me gone, and it killed me inside to walk away don't think it was easy.'

'I played my hardest because I wanted to prove to everyone that I was the king of games. That I could be my own person. That I could duel just as well as you, that I could be just as good as you. I got a bit carried away I'll admit. But what about when I started crying when I realised I had won and I was sending you away' Yugi said.

'I thought they were tears of relief, of joy that you had won, not sadness that I was leaving, again I thought our separation was what you wanted. It wasn't easy to leave you Yugi'

'WELL YOU CERTAINLY MADE IT LOOK LIKE IT WAS!' Yugi yelled.

In all our years together I had never seen Yugi yell before. I was gobsmacked.

'I didn't get a goodbye' Yugi said the tears running down his face 'you left me without a backwards glance, without a hug or even a handshake'

'I know and I so wanted to turn around and run to you, to beg you not to let me go, but I was doing it for you Yugi. Because I believed you wanted me gone.' I replied.

Yugi didn't reply he just kept staring at me his shoulder rising and falling.

'I didn't turn around because I didn't want you to see my tears' he could see them now though as they ran down my face. 'I didn't want you to think I was upset about leaving you, when I thought you wanted me to go so badly.'

Yugi sighed 'I guess we both made some mistakes that day'

'It wasn't you fault Yugi' I said walking over to him and placing my hands on his shoulders 'it was mine, I should have talked to you, to let you know what I felt for you'

Yugi placed his hands on top of mine and sighed. 'Well, were together again now, there's no point arguing over stuff that's already passed, it will just make us hurt more.'

'Yes' I agreed 'were together now, that's all that matters, and I promise you Yugi, I'll never leave you again'

'I don't know if I can trust you yet Yami' Yugi replied and I winced. 'It'll take some time'

'I'll be waiting for you' I replied wrapping my arms around him in a hug and pulling him as close to my chest as I could get him. 'I'm not going anywhere'

We stayed that way for some time rocking backwards and forwards comforting each other in all of our losses, on everything that could have been, and everything that had happened.

Yugi stepped back and yawned. I smiled at him.

'Tired?' I asked him.

He nodded in reply. I picked him like I did last time, and this time he didn't protest. I laid him in bed and pulled the covers up round his chest. I gently kissed his forehead. I turned and went to make my way out the room.

'Wait' he suddenly said 'don't leave me Yami, not now, not ever'

I stared at him; the love I read in his eyes gave me hope. He needed me. Just like I needed him. I walked back over to him. And gently took my shirt and leather pants off. Giving him perfect view of my body. I saw him blush and I smiled.

'Like what you see?' I asked him.

'Don't be a perve' He replied and I giggled.

'Your're the one perving on me Yugi, that's why you can't drag your eyes away from me'

Yugi put his head in his hands and shook his head in embarrassment. I just laughed and lifted the quilt and slid in beside him. This was were I stopped. What did I do now? Did I hold him? Was I allowed?

I decided to risk it and I scooted up close to him feeling the warmth of his body. I circled my arms around him spooning against his back. I heard him sigh in appreciation, and I resisted the urge to crow my delight. I kissed his clothed shoulder, and pulled him closer to me.

'Good night' I said to him lovingly but he was already asleep. I smiled to myself and shut my eyes. I had my Aibou back and I wouldn't stop until he was mine in every way.

Well that's it for chapter 6. Hope you liked it. Let me know what you think. I love reviews bad and good though good a bit more than bad. Stay tuned for chapter 7.
