:Hiya! I will admit, I do not like this chapter for one reason you all will find out why, but it's how the story goes and blah blah blah. I hope you enjoy it! Please review:

Why did Yami do that? Yugi asked himself as he drove. He drove down, around the streets, not wanting to go home just yet. He knew he needed to though, he needed to get home to Anzu. But his mind was swarming with questions, why had Yami let him go? Didn't Yami say that he was never going to let him leave? Why did he let him then?

Yami had scared him, Yami had made him feel uncomfortable, Yami had...Yugi gripped the steering wheel tightly, turning his knuckles white. Yami had made him feel so differently then when he was with Anzu. Yugi couldn't deny it, Yami had awakened the feelings that he had never felt after being married. He had forgotten the feelings so long ago, it burned his chest, made his face hot, and turned his mind to mush. Yugi was half tempted to ram his head against the steering wheel.

What was he feeling? He knew that Anzu had once awakened these feelings long ago, but after marriage he had lost that spark. Yugi breathed heavily, why was he thinking, feeling these things about Yami? He was so confused, what was so different from the two? One was married to him, that was one. One was a woman, one was a man, what else was there? Yugi stopped at a red light and groaned, this was so irritating! Why must he think this after being kicked out by Yami?! He doubted that he would be like this if he hadn't been so stubborn and went to the damn house! It was the house's fault, not his! Yugi tried to burn this into his skull, but he couldn't. He knew it wasn't true, it was entirely his fault.

But was it? Was it really his fault? Couldn't it be Yami's, after all it was Yami who was making him question all of this. He was the one who made him feel differently, he was the one who had flirted with him, he was the one who...Yugi flushed and bit his bottom lip. He was the one who kissed him. Yugi had kissed people before, it wasn't like this was the first time. He was married and he had kissed Anzu when he had arrived here, but it didn't feel the same. A kiss with Anzu was simply a kiss, a kiss he no longer truly craved. When they were in high school, Yugi needed her kisses, to get past the day, as if that was his air supply. Now, they were nothing but simple kisses that sent no sparks, if it did, Yugi surely didn't feel it. The kiss with Yami, although it had been quick and harsh, it made Yugi's heart pound just thinking about it.

That kiss, the emotions that were within it, Yugi had been tempted to gasp when Yami had kissed him. It was a shock, and it had happened so fast. He didn't want to admit it, he really didn't, but he had liked the kiss. It was exactly what he had had in high school with Anzu, only much more. The high school kisses were fun and risky, it was forbidden to kiss in school, and it made Yugi feel amazing. The kiss he had experienced with Yami had sent sparks flying and Yugi could think of nothing but Yami at that moment, he dreaded it when Yami had broken the kiss and pushed him out the door. Yugi looked out to the road, seeing a familiar restaurant in view. He breathed through his nose and sighed, what was he thinking about Yami for? He was a married man, who had to be straight, after all hadn't he been thinking about being the man of the relationship, being gay meant there was either two girls or two guys, who would know who was in control of who?

Yugi wanted to hit himself, there was no 'Who was in control of who.', a relationship is based on companionship, trust, and love. In order for a relationship to be perfect, the man and woman had to be in control of their selves and make sure that they are equal. Did Yugi have companionship with Anzu, well yes, she was there the whole time if he wanted her. Did Yugi trust her? He was stuck between yes and no, yes because he had been with her for quite a long time, while no because she always went out to places and he never knew what she was doing. Did he love her? Now that, he wanted to say yes too, but he couldn't think about it. He loved Anzu, how did he love her? Did he really? Yugi had tried to convince himself that he still loved Anzu in his heart at the house, but it hadn't worked.

Yugi parked the car in the restaurants parking lot and turned the car off. He leaned back in his seat and wiped his face with his palm. He was so confused, he looked to the mirror in his car. Yugi looked into his own eyes, seeing the emotions within them, the emotions he was feeling were shown in the mirror completely. Yugi had to smile, how can you truly tell what the other person is feeling? Look into their eyes. Yugi tilted his head to the side as he continued looking in the mirror, his eyes were changing shape and color in the mirror. They were getting sharper, the amethyst was becoming darker, forming into a different color. Yugi's eyes widened as he no longer saw his own eyes in the mirror, but instead saw the eyes that burned into his skull. Yami's crimson eyes, those eyes full of anger and jealously. Yugi stared at the mirror, the mirror staring back, the eyes were staring at him, now containing a new emotion that made Yugi freeze in fear. Desire.

That was what had been in Yami's eyes after he had kissed him, Yugi vaguely remembered. A dark shade of crimson, full of desire. Yami had said he liked him, no...Loved him. Yugi couldn't tear his eyes away from the mirror in the car, those eyes were pinning him down, making him unable to move. He felt someone staring at him, as if someone was in the car with him. Yugi's heart began to race, someone was in the car, someone was with him. He began to breath heavily and tried to tear his eyes away from the mirror, what was holding him there?! Yugi couldn't move his eyes, but he could move his hands.

Yugi felt around the steering wheel of the car, his eyes still unable to come away from the mirror. All he could see was the eyes just staring at him, the eyes beginning to narrow, as if they were smirking at him as he tried to find the keys, he had forgotten to take them out of the ignition. Yugi felt warm in the car, the same warmth inside the house. No, Yugi thought as he felt around more. He felt the presence of someone's hand reaching out to him...Yugi found the keys and forced them out of the ignition, the crimson eyes widened for a split second, just enough time for Yugi to tear away from them. Yugi threw open the car door, rushing out of it and slamming the door closed, holding the keys to his chest as he breathed heavily. Those eyes, Yugi thought. Had Yami been following him?

"I will have you, no matter what happens."

Yugi's face flushed as he thought of this. He shook his head, no way could he get in his car! Yugi took a deep breath and marched off towards the restaurant...

Not noticing that his car keys were as cold as winter.

"Welcome to-Yugi!" Rebecca cried out as she witnessed Yugi walking into the diner. No one was present at the restaurant, so Rebecca was surprised to have a customer, even more surprised to find that it was Yugi. Yugi smiled shyly and waved lazily at her.

"Hey Rebecca." Yugi greeted. Rebecca looked down, her eyes beginning to fill up with tears. She shot herself forward and jumped onto Yugi, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"I-I thought y-you were..." Rebecca sobbed onto his shoulder. Yugi smiled gently at her and rubbed her back, he understood why she was crying. Anzu probably knew where he had went and told as many people as she could. Rebecca sniffled and hiccuped as she pulled back to look up at Yugi, her eyes and nose now red from crying.

"Y-You d-don't," Rebecca sniffled. "Know h-how happy I-I am that you..." Rebecca broke out into a loud cry and threw herself back onto Yugi. Yugi was tempted to chuckle at this but he didn't, he had only been gone for two days, but then again he had gone into the 'House of Despair'.

"Hey," Yugi pushed her off gently and took her by the shoulders. "I'm here now, see?" Rebecca sniffled and nodded, she wiped her nose off on her arm before catching herself and making an 'Ech.' sound, Yugi chuckled at this. She made a gesture toward a table and sat down at it, Yugi sat on the other side of her.

"S-Sorry..." Rebecca spoke after she pulled a napkin out of her pocket, she blew her nose. "It's just, you've been gone for so long."

"It was only two days."

"But it was the House, Yugi!" Rebecca argued, blowing her nose again. Why did Rebecca care so much for him? Yugi smiled at her and shrugged.

"It isn't that scary." Yugi told her, he heard a gasp from the side of him and looked up to find Mai staring at him, her eyes wide and her hands on her mouth.

"Y-Yugi?" Mai breathed out, she removed her hands. "Y-You're alive?" Yugi looked down at himself.

"Am I?" Yugi questioned with a smile. Mai smiled brightly and rushed forward, she took him into her arms, forcing his face into her cleavage and cutting off his way of getting air into his system.

"I'm so glad you're okay!" Mai cried out, holding him tighter. Yugi thought he was going to die and muffled out a 'Let me go'. Sadly, she didn't hear it. Rebecca on the other hand, did.

"Mai, you're killing him."

"Oh!" Mai released him quickly and backed up shyly. Yugi gasped out in relief and breathed in some air, Rebecca smiled and giggled at this while Mai apologized.

"So, what was it like?" Mai asked, pulling up a chair to the table and sitting next to Yugi.

"What was what like?" Yugi questioned, not wanting to talk about the house. Yami flashed in his mind, smirking and holding out a hand to Yugi, he winked at him. Yugi blushed brightly and turned his head away, that wasn't smart at all!

"Hey, you okay?" Rebecca asked, "I mean, I know you probably just came back from a killer house, but I don't think that causes your face to be red, or is it that you still need oxygen from your boob suffocation?"

"I didn't mean to suffocate him!"

"Uh huh..." Rebecca smiled and looked at Yugi, frowning as she looked at him. Yugi shook his head and turned his head back around.

"I'm fine, sorry." Yugi chuckled nervously. Mai pouted and asked the same question again, Yugi replied the same way, making Mai give him a glare instead of a pout.

"The house, Yugi!" Mai spoke. "What was it like? Were there people inside?" She was curious, that was obvious, but why? Why was she so-Yugi looked down, she was curious because she missed Joey. Joey had disappeared after doing the dare in there, and now he was serving a Shadow because he lost to a Shadow Bet...Yugi wanted to tell her, but would people think he was crazy?

"It was like an normal abandoned house, cobwebs everywhere, rats, you know the usual stuff." Yugi lied, waving a dismissive hand. "And no, there were not any people. There wasn't any ghosts either." Mai looked down sadly and folded her hands together.

"I see..."

Yugi bit his lip, should he tell her? She had the right to know, but it had been three years, wouldn't this be a shocker to tell her that her husband was alive, he just couldn't see her? He didn't want to be cruel, but he didn't want to lie. He couldn't do it though, he just couldn't, it would be too much for the poor woman.

"I'm sorry." Yugi said. Mai looked up and smiled at him, she rested a hand on his shoulder.

"It's okay." She whispered, tears threatening to fall down her face. Rebecca looked to the window and bit the inside of her cheek.

"Yugi," Rebecca spoke. "Have you told your wife that you're back yet?" Yugi froze in his seat, no he hadn't. He looked at the window that she was looking at, she was looking at the house. Yugi felt his heart clench tightly as he looked at it, why was it doing that?

"No..." Yugi answered. Rebecca looked toward him and narrowed her eyes at him.

"She's worried you know." Rebecca said. "She came in here crying two days ago, saying that you and her had a fight and now she couldn't find you." Yugi felt a stab of guilt in his chest, she had been worried? Of course she had been, she loves you! Yugi felt the stab even harder this time.

"I see..." Yugi whispered, looking down at his hands. He should have gone straight home, just to see Anzu. Why did he have to come here? Why did he have to get distracted? Rebecca stood up, sighing as she did so.

"Look," Rebecca crossed her arms. "I don't know what the argument was about, she wouldn't tell me, but she is really worried about you and you need to go tell her you're okay." What had Anzu been doing when he left, had she been crying? Had she been unpacking? Had she been drinking more, partying? These thoughts invaded Yugi's mind as Rebecca talked, Yugi nodded mindlessly and looked up at her.

"Yeah, I know..."

()()()()()()()()

Did he even want to see her? Yugi thought as he pulled into the driveway of his own house, looking at it. The house that Anzu loved, that Yugi loved as well. Yugi didn't know what to do, he wanted to see her, yet he didn't want to at the same time. Why did he feel like this? She was his wife, he should be jumping out of his car seat and dashing to the door! He had been arguing with himself the whole time, did he love her? Had he loved her ever since they had gotten married, what had changed between them? Yugi thought nothing, nothing at all had changed, so why didn't he feel any sort of love toward her that was romantic? Was he even...Yugi breathed in deeply and exhaled, was he even straight anymore?

Yugi turned off the car and exited it, making sure to keep his eyes away from the mirror. He breathed in the scent of the air, the air mixing with fresh cut grass from the neighbors. He looked to the door, how was he going to approach her? How was he going to feel when he saw her? Would his feelings of love suddenly rush back into his body? Yugi walked to the door, placing a hand on the knob, trying to stop himself from being disappointed when it didn't pierce his skin with a cold temperature.

Yugi took a deep breath and opened the door, he looked inside and his eyes widened. The whole place was clean, and there wasn't a sign of any boxes! He looked around more, decorations were scattered amongst the walls, the carpet was clean, the area looked...perfect! Yugi approached a wall and touched a painting on it, the painting was of a forest scenery, a painting that Anzu had bought at a yard sale. He leaned his head against the painting, trying to get used to his home again, he had only been gone for two days and yet...It didn't feel like home. Yugi heard a gasp come from the staircase and turned his head slowly, Anzu stood there, in tight blue leggings and a white tank top, the tank top looked stained with water at the top. He observed her looks, her eyes were duller then he had remembered, her eyes were bloodshot and in her hands was a wadded up tissue. Her eyes began to fill up with tears as her mouth dropped open, shivering as she tried to form words.

"Y-Yugi?" She choked out, Yugi turned to face her fully and smiled. He admitted, he felt happy seeing her again, but he didn't feel overjoyed. She stepped down the stairs and stood in front of him, reaching a hand out and placing it on his cheek. Her hand felt clammy and overly warm, Yugi caught himself comparing her hands to Yami's. He stopped his thoughts and rose a hand to place over Anzu's. She broke down. She collapsed on his shoulders and held him close to her, crying nonstop as she uttered out apologies and how much she missed him.

Yugi smiled and wrapped his arms around her, holding her small frame within his arms. It didn't feel right, not at all. She felt too small, too fragile to be held, as if she didn't belong there. Yugi shook his head slightly, making sure he didn't alert Anzu. She pulled back and stared down at him, she smiled at him and leaned down, capturing his lips. Yugi's eyes widened as she did this, as if he was surprised, he sighed and began to kiss her back. This is how, Yugi thought. This is how I can prove it to myself, do I love her, am I still...Yugi removed his lips away from hers and moved to her ear to whisper deeply.

"Anzu, Let's go to bed."

:Ugh, yeah yeah get mad at me! I hate this part but meh, it has to happen. I hope you liked this chapter, don't hate me for that moment but it had to occur or else I wouldn't be able to think. Please review!:
