TEN:

Yugi and Bakura got right to work the second the door clicked shut. Jonouchi however was still burned into the armchair.

"What happened to the box of cards you had with you?" Bakura asks dropping their other box on the coffee table.

Yugi had forgotten about them entirely, "in the doorway of the room?" he was pretty sure. Did he pick them up after dropping them?

"Ok! Got them. Man, is Yami against unpacking or what?" Bakura says poking his head over the hall of boxes.

"I'm working on it. Start getting the cards ready, and Jonouchi?" with no response, Yugi turns from the box of dishes he was sorting and putting away. "Jonouchi?"

The slight click of the front door and Yugi had his answer. In his opinion, Jonouchi was being childish and selfish with the whole thing, and he didn't feel sorry for the blonde one bit. "Looks like was are doing this alone."

"I'll call in back up if needed. I don't mind waking Ryo up," the box of cards was a mess. He wondered what happened to them from two days ago when they were nicely organized and separated ready to be sticky-tacked to Yami's giant living room window.

"I think we might have to."

By the time that everything was unpacked and they were ready to put the card mosaic up Ryo, Azul and Mai had joined the pre-party. Yami's flat looked…well, not like Yami lived in it. Pillows were tucked into couch corners, a dish of fruit on the island. Without a box in sight everyone crowded around the coffee table completing the show peace of the night.

"You know I think in light of recent events, Mr. Blue Eyes should go right here," Yugi says placing the card down on the picture.

"'Recent events?'" Mai asks placing a couple more cards down.

Bakura snorted with laughter. They were so preoccupied with getting everything ready that he almost forgot about this morning's 'get together.' "Don't tell, they can see later."

Yugi stopped, looked at the three curious faces, then at the big wicked smile on Bakura's face, "yeah alright,"

"What happened?"

"You will have to wait until Yami comes back," Yugi says turning his attention back to the cards on the table. "Hurry we need to get this up. Marik and Malik will be here soon with the food and drinks."

"So what happened to Jonouchi?" Azul asks as they break out the sticky-tack.

"Let's just say that it wasn't a good morning for him," Yugi tells her without looking up. "If he wants to be selfish, let him sulk."

"In short, he's the main bit of this morning's little scene," Bakura smirks again. There was nothing like someone getting burned by his best friend to make his day. Ryo would never share this great pleasure with him. A look at his white haired companion made his smile widen as he watched him pinning cards to the vast window of Yami's apartment.

Oh, how opposites attract. Bakura crosses his fingers behind his head and leans back in his chair. The others fussed and placed, not hearing the knock on the door.

Bakura answers the door to two stacks of boxes sitting on the floor. Looking down the hall the elevator dings and inside is more boxes and Malik, his most favorite sinister friend.

"Come lend a hand you lazy ass!" Malik calls to him.

"Doing just fine, thank you," Bakura calls and steps over the boxes of food to help haul the keg and several boxes of booze out of the elevator.

"Marik had to bring enough to kill an elephant."

"Well, what's a party without booze and buds?"

Unfortunately, as they slid into the driveway of Seto's mansion, a small hoard of people came racing towards the car door. A woman also leaned against the car they pulled up behind. Yami recognized this woman from the wine party a couple nights ago. Melissa he believed, wonder what she was doing here.

Seto let off a great sigh at all the faces with cameras shoved in them, just waiting for them to step out of the car so that they could catch him 'in the act.' He knew better then to bring Yami back to the mansion. Damn and on his birthday too. Seto couldn't help but kick himself for forcing Yami into something like this so soon.

Man, has he gotten soft.

"Look like we have fan girls already," Yami says leaning back and taking a drink of his whiskey.

"I'm sorry-"

"Don't be," Yami cuts him off with a smile. "We were having a very interesting conversation while enjoying a drink out here, maybe we should be in no rush to get out. How long do you think they will wait out there for us?" Yami took another swig off his glass and crossed his legs.

The door not crowded by raving paparazzi opened and Melissa slid into the dark interior. "Good evening gentlemen," she took her seat across from them. "As much as I love a good scandal, I just can't imagine what enticed you to come here of all places after a scene like last night."

Yami couldn't help but feel like they were in a movie where he was dating the star and it turns into a big elaborate plan to keep their love secrete from the world, and they just got caught on the front page.

Just to top it off, Melissa pulls a magazine from her bag and slaps it on Seto's lap. "Front page. Front page. Seto this could lose a lot of companies! It's so bad I couldn't even bring myself to read it yet! These hit the streets and I followed them here!" She point at the door flooded with cameras.

Yami picks up magazine, the headline that catches his eye : Seto Kaiba has a thing for things: Kaiba Corps. big scandal. Pg. 8. He flips to page eight and there is a good picture of them wrapped together, just as the elevator doors slid closed.

He couldn't help but chuckle, and then laugh, harder.

It was amazing. He didn't actually believe that the lady behind the desk would actually go that far. And damn was that good timing on her part. It was the moment their lips collided, Seto's hands driven into his jacket, Yami's hands gripping his hip, other jamming the button. The elevator door just started closing, framing them in. He wondered how much she made off this juicy picture.

"What could be so funny?" Melissa snaps at him.

He calms his laughter, "I am just amazed by her very talented timing and position to capture such a perfect picture as this one right here." The moment Yami held that picture up, Seto couldn't help but flush deep red, he didn't know why, but seeing them so…intertwined and wanting just made something inside him blush. He didn't know what to say, he was so captured by the picture, and how almost Hollywood it looked.

Melissa was silenced for a moment as well, not seeing it herself. "Holly shit," her composure was lost. "What is this? This is…this could… how…"

Yami was only letting it sink in. He and Yugi had gone through a lot of this. And it was how they lost the official 'King of Games' title. They never cared though, they knew that no one could beat them and that was good enough for them.

He had to admit that the look on Seto's face is priceless. Where Yugi's looked like we wanted to crawl into a dark place and die, Kaiba's was alive, teased, shocked and a good sense of 'oh-fuck.'

Yami had to read this, had to read what kind of stupid reason this woman put behind a picture like this. He scanned through reading bits out loud: "'… the CEO's new secretary…seen together last night getting out of a limo and heading to a flat in this building…','…believed to be the home of the former King of Games champion of Duel Monsters…' Well, it seems like she really knows her celbs. Huh?" He closes and rolls up the magazine tucking it into his jacket pocket. "What I suggest is you going out, and I will be dropped off behind the house and meet you inside."

Now that that picture was gone, Seto could think much clearer. Taking Yami's words down, he gave nod, "that should work, I'll distract." He turned to the door and sighed. Out to face all the questions.

Well, there you go, and go to the next one cuz thats how much i love you my readers! REVIEW
