I DON'T OWN YUGIOH!!!!

Sakura: Thank you everyone for staying with this story this far.

Yugi: Ok the question last time was will Yami tell me about the past?

Yami: Yumi is out with a cold, so now it's my job. Sakura does not own anything but the plot.


The next morning Yami was released from the Hospital. After Mahado left that night, the two didn't talk at all, they just went to sleep. Yugi wasn't sure if Yami was going tell him or even try to remember the memories.

The two arrived soon at Yugi's grandfather's place. Yugi decided to visit him and work a little to get his mind off everything. Yami just sat on the couch watching TV.

Grandpa sat behind the counter with Yugi. "So let me get this right. You were chased by some guys into an alley and they beat Yami up."

Yugi nodded. "Yea, but someone came and helped."

Grandpa sighed. "Maybe Yami staying with you wasn't a good idea."

Yugi looked at him shocked. "Grandpa! How could you say that. Yami needs me. I love him to much to just kick him out." He quickly covered his mouth as he realized what he just said.

Grandpa looked at him funny. "Love?"

Blushing, Yugi looked toward the door, just as a customer came in.

The customer just said he was looking.

Yugi nodded.

The two sat behind the counter quietly till the customer, bought a game then left.

Grandpa looked at him. "Now what is this I hear about love?"

Yugi rubbed the back of his neck. "Well you see, me and Yami kind of started to like each other and..." He sighed. "I don't know, things just happened."

Grandpa laughed. "Oh my boy. I'm not mad or anything. It's just a shock to hear you, say you love someone."

Yugi looked at him. "Your not mad that his a boy."

His grandfather waved a hand. "No, I'm just happy your in love. Although I am not sure if its with the right person. Yami has been through a lot and who knows what might happen."

Yugi agreed. "I know, but me and Yami will face it together. I have a feeling that thing will get better."


Yugi headed upstairs after closing the shop. Grandpa said he would make dinner, so that left Yugi and Yami to do whatever

Yami put his book down as Yugi sat next to him on the couch. "How was it?"

Yugi yawned. "Boring. No one really came."

Yami chuckled. "Chris didn't come in and say hi."Yugi looked down. "No, but I've been thinking. Maybe Chris and Jon should stop coming to watch us."

Yami looked at him with wide eyes. "Why would you want them to stop protecting us."

Yugi looked at Yami and was almost in tears. "I feel trapped. I want to go out and not have to be followed around. I love you and I want to be the one to protect you."

Yami felt tears coming to his eyes. "Oh Yugi..." He pulled Yugi into a one arm embrace. "I know how you feel. I want to be able to protect you too."

Yugi looked up with a sad smile. "We have Mahado to protect us now, just tell me it's ok, so I can tell the police to stop protecting us."

Yami didn't like the idea, but agreed to it.

Yugi smiled a true smile and kissed Yami on the lips. "Thank you."


A Month Later

Things were going great. Yugi had long ago told the cops to stop protecting them and they did. The police figured the only way to Yami's mom out of hiding was to stop protecting them. The good news was that Yami's mother still had yet to mess with them.

Yami was at the apartment cleaning, while Yugi was at school. Because everything calmed down Yami quit going over to Grandpa's. It was a chilly Wednesday in November. He was fully healed which was a shock to the doctor. Yugi figured the puzzle might of helped some, but didn't say anything about it. Yami was still not very happy about having it back. They keep it hiding in a shoe box under their bed. Yugi refused to put his angel necklace with it. He really loved it and wore it everyday.

As Yami feed the cats their lunch, a figure appeared on the couch. Yami walked back into the living room and glared at Mahado. "What do you want?"

Mahado smirked and put his feet on the coffee table. He was wearing dark blue jeans, a dark purple long-seleeve shirt, and black boots. His hair was brown again and pulled into a small pony-tail.

Yami walked over and pushed his feet off. "Feet off the table baka."

Mahado chuckled. "Still with the attutide I see."

Yami growled. "Shut up! What do you want anyway?"

Mahado picked up the remote and turned on the Tv. "Oh nothing much. Just checking in on you. I know the police aren't watching you every hour of the day anymore. Have you told Yugi yet?"

Yami sighed and sat next to him. "No, I don't want to pull him into anything. If I remember right something bad will happen."

Mahado looked at him. "Just let the memories come back and tell him the truth. It may save him."

Yami took the remote from Mahado and stood up. "It's best you leave. Yugi will be home soon. He told me he was coming home early so we could go out on a real first date, then he could go to work."

Mahado sighed and stood up." Fine, but I will be back to see if you told him."

The two cats ran in and jumped onto the coffee table.

Mahado's eyes lite up. "Oh you still have Ra and Hikari. Although there both a little smaller."

Yami looked at him confused. "What? Ra and Hikari are Yugi's house cats, he found them in the street."

Mahado laughed. "If you just remembered your past then you would know who they were in the past." He disappeared after that.

Yami looked at the cats. "His crazy."

The cats just meow.

Yami sighed as he sat back on the couch. What was that all about? He closed his eyes just as the door opened.

Yugi walked in and sat his backpack, by the door. "I'm home."

Yami just nodded not opening his eyes.

Yugi walked over to him and plopped down next to him. "So how was your day?"

The Ra jumped into Yami's lap, while Hikari jumped into Yugi's. Yami opened his eyes and looked at him. "It was tiring."

Yugi smiled at him. "Well the apartment looks great. Thanks for cleaning."

Ra started to patted Yami on the stomach with his paw.

Yami looked down at him. "What?"

/Tell him/

Yami eyes widen as he jumped up and away from Ra. Ra had jumped over to Yugi's lap.

Yugi looked worried. "You ok?"

Yami just stared at the cats. "I...I..." He couldn't seem to form words.

Yugi moved the cats out of his lap and moved over to Yami. "Please, what's wrong?"

Yami shook his head and sat back down, but as far as way from the cats a possible. "It's nothing."

Yugi looked at the cats then at Yami, then back to the cats. "Did Ra scare you?"

Yami shook his head as Yugi sat beside him. The cats jumped down from the couch and ran off. Yugi moved his hands to Yami's and held them. "Please what's wrong? You have been acting funny."

Yami sighed as he looked at their hands. "I don't know what's wrong with me." He looked up at Yugi. "How can you stand to be with me, when I have so many problems?"

Yugi smiled. "That's easy. I love you and nothing will change that."

Yami looked into Yugi's eyes and knew he was telling the truth. Why couldn't Yami just be like Yugi and be so honest. "I love you too, so should we be going now?"

Yugi's eyes lit up. "Oh yea our date." He got up and pulled Yami along. "I know the prefect place to go eat, but first I thought we would go see a funny movie that just came out."

Yami smiled as Yugi checked to make sure he had his wallet and keys. Life was good right now, maybe later he would tell Yugi the truth. Maybe…..
