Kei: Guess what, y'all? I got my first e-card EVER! Our friend kunoichi2006 sent it! It had pink on it. Eeeeeww. BUT... Since I know she dislikes that disgrace of a color as much as I do, that we're cool, and the fact that she sent me an e-card in the first place, I let it go. THANK YOU, TOMMI! And the reviews that were waitin' when I got back from my trip... They're wunnaful!

Tirani: One of these days, we are changing the e-mail address. I wanna see our reviews first, dammit!

Kei: Someday, Tira. Someday. But on a completely unrelated note, we got some very unexpected peoples showing up in this here chapter! Now that that's outta the way... (Tell me you guys know what Tira's about to say since this is the end of our "chat" before the chapter!)

Tirani: Let's get it on! Enjoy, minna!

Chapter 6: Vision of Despair

Yami was stunned after his ordeal with his hikari. Yugi wouldn't acknowledge his prescence. Downright refused. But no matter how hard the crushed spirit tried to talk to the shorty, he would be pushed away. After a while, Yami stopped trying, and spent most of his time in his soul room, only coming out to listen to music. If his love did not want to see or speak with him, there was nothing he could do to change the other's mind. Surprisingly, the ex-pharaoh was so very wrong.

Yugi, at first, had been annoyed with his lover (ex...?) for pestering him so much. He just wanted to be left alone! Or did he? Once Yami's pleas for a chance to explain came to an abrupt halt, he found that he desperately missed his company. But WHY? He was mad at him... right?

The little 'un just didn't know anymore. So he called the only other people he knew that could get him out of his silent melancholy -Anzu, Mai, Ishizu, Ryuuji, and... REBECCA. Us: Dun, dun, duuuuuuun!

Yami is about to get the weirdest wake-up call EVER.

Somehow or another, Yuge and the Gang (sounds like Kool and them, doesn't it?) managed to catch Yami while he was jamming silently to his music. He was -for the first time in 3 days- actually laying on his bed instead of at the compu- Wait! Yugi thought. When did he get a seperate bed... and why? Unfortunately for him, he tore their link open, pouring out his hurt and thoughts. So it was a surprise when he heard an immediate response.

Surely you remember that I bought a new bed a week ago at your behest. As to why... I won't answer that because then I'd be repeating myself.

Yugi just stared at Yami's unmoving figure. He tried speaking, but nothing came out. He wanted to scream, he wanted to cry, he wanted to pout and sulk. All that good stuff. But what Yugi wanted most was to see Yami's gorgeous eyes. It was only when a muted shuffle came from across the room did the spirit open his eyes.

Yami was too lazy and comfortable to move, so he opted for scanning. That always works. And it's always fun to not be moving, then suddenly have your gaze land on an unsuspecting victim. His victim today was... ISHIZU? His crimson orbs softened as she smiled at him. He didn't move when she sat next to him, but he hugged her warmly when she opened her arms. They conversed in Egyptian for a minute or two, but Rebecca grew tired of being on the sidelines.

"Uuuum... HELL-O! We're here too! Don't WE get some love?"

Yami whipped his head around to see his worst nightmare.

There they were. Duke, Mai, Anzu, and Rebecca: The Feminine Foursome. (He often called the FEARSOME Foursome.) He was horrified. They knew it, knew that he knew that they knew, and loved the fact that he was actually scared of them. And Yami disliked them all the more at the moment because of it.

Mai spoke up. "Yami, tweety?" She smirked evilly when he winced. "We heard you haven't been outta bed in a while." Yami's reply was nothing short of deadpan sarcasm. "I have not been "out of bed in a while" because I have not been in bed. To get out, you must get in. Surely you know this." Rebecca just cracked up. But Anzu was not happy.

"Ah-HAH! Sarcasm, eh? Trying to cover up your misery with mean-ness, Mr. Man?" Kei: One of my names for guy friends that I've used for years. Never gets old for some reason. "Mi-misery? What in Ra's name are you talking about?" Everyone just looked at Yami as if he were slow. They all knew exactly what the girl meant. The mood in the room suddenly took a dive, and Anzu, the cheerful bastard she is, tried to turn things around... and succeeded.

"Yeah, Yami-kins! Mi-zer-ree. I mean... Come on! Who wouldn't be miserable if they looked like you do now? Ya look like DEATH came to get you but turned around because you'd make dead folk seem pretty! Jeez-la-weez!" Her serious comment was taken as a joke and everyone, even Yami, cracked up. Ryuuji seized the chance to make his day even more enjoyable. "Yeah, Yami. You look like crap, as I knew you would-" A half-hearted glare was thrown his way. "Don't get mad; get glad, 'cause we're here to help!" And again raucous laughter filled the room. Ryuuji, however, missed the humor.

"What's so funny?"

Yugi spoke up with: "That line is -heh, heh- the slogan of Glad products, you goof-nut." Ryuuji looked thoughtful for a split second, then said: "Oh, YEAH. Ya know, I made you guys laugh AND made my point, so I guess I killed two squirrels with one car, huh?" Completely blank looks were shared before a resounding:

"NANI?!" was yelled. Ryuu defended himself as best he could.

"Tch! What are you guys lookin' at me like that for? You know how that Geico commercial goes with the two squirrels!" Ishizu and Yami just sort of hung their heads as they attempted to appear as unmoved and regal as possible. But nobody could contain their laughter when he laid it out for them.

"One squirrel deliberately runs across the road, stops in front of a speeding car to pull off the cute demonic face, then once the driver -dumbass- swerves to miss it, the furry imp continues his sprint, and when he meets his buddy on the other side, they give each other some DAP. DAP, I SAY! I'm telling ya, it's a conspiracy, and my quote should be recognized! So there!"

Yugi was glad that his friends could make laughter come so easily. He was still chuckling when Yami caught his eye. Those eyes were narrowed slightly in great amusement, happiness, and... is that... adoration? Yugi was beckoned to sit in his lap and he jumped right in. Yami kissed him like there was no tomorrow right in front of everyone! There was a passionate tongue duel, and lots of gasping and grasping and groping... Aaaah! It was hot. No doubt about it. When they finally broke apart for air, their friends wooted and made some terrible cat-calls. Yugi blushed heavily in embarassment, and it intensified when he felt gentle hands tilt his face. What he was met with nearly made him cream his pants.

An affectionately whispered "I love you, Hikari." A sensual smile. A smoldering fire building in the brilliant crimson. And it was all just for him.

"I love you too, Yami." More smiling. Another kiss. A tender embrace.

Everything was back to normal.

Tirani: Masaka...

Kei: Yeah. Surprising, idnit?

Tirani: Damn you! Stop speaking how I do, ya dumbass!

Kei: (laughs haughtily) Whatcha gonna do 'bout it, Tirani? E-mail me a virus?

Tirani: Hmmmm...

Kei: Oy. Anyhow. We hope y'all enjoyed this chap, 'cause we won't be back until we're back!

Tirani: Unfortunately. Kei is going to school soon. FINA-freakin'-LY! And I already have school and clubs and crap, so yeah. I wanna at least give y'all and expectation day, but after Kei was dragged away before we found out... I don't wanna say something and it not come to pass soon. So we'll see ya when we see ya. (sadly) Bye peoples.

Kei: Yeah, you'll see us again. Review, please.
