Oi….  Arigatou Mari and Beautiful Tenshi for reviewing the second chappie.  I was originally planning to make this a Seto/Yami/Yuugi, but after some thought…I've decided to make this a Seto/Yami fic instead, so this chappie will NOT be from Yuugi's P.O.V.   Sorry, it's taken so long, I've been pretty busy lately with school and all.  Would anyone hurt me if I make Seto and Yami a lil bit OOC?

Tsuki: Yeah, right, you've been slacking off!  They'd probably burn u at the stake if u make them OOC even a lil.

Todo: ^ ^;; ehehe…maybe a little….rite…

Tsuki: - -;; baka…just get on with the story already.

Todo: Humph fine…Do the disclaimer..

Tsuki: Todo DOES NOT …eheheheh…own Yu-Gi-Oh and never ever in her whole life and the next, own Yu-Gi-Oh!  Muhahhaha…

Todo: T-T meanie…So anyway…I hope you like this chappie. Note: For updates on Yami's trying to rescue Seto from Tsuki's death grip…read the bottom of the page. 

Tsuki: ::death grip on Seto:: ^______^

Warning: YAOI!  SHOUNEN-AI!!  MALE/MALE…you get my point?  Good if you don't like that stuff…LEAVE and don't give me any trouble!  Otherwise..continue reading ^_^.

Beneath The Masks of Hate: Chapter 3

Yami leaned against the railing, watching as the sun sank beneath the glittering water. 

The stars were coming out and it would have been quite romantic had there been someone to share it with. (A/N: ^_~::wink wink::)

'Someone like Seto Kaiba?'

An annoying voice nagged at the back of Yami's head.  "Do you ever shut up?"

'Of course not.  It's my…'  It was suddenly quiet.

"Talking to yourself, Yami?"  A smug voice asked. 

'Please don't let it be him, not now!'  Yami thought.

He turned around, coming face to chest with the much taller CEO.

"Shut up, Kaiba."  Yami glared at the taller man.

"So where's the puppy dog and the rest of that loser group you hang out with."  Seto asked, casually leaning against the rail.

"Jounouchi's with Mai, Yuugi 'hanging out' with Yami Bakura, Honda's with Anzu, Ryou's with Malik and his Yami…Think that's about everyone."

"Yuugi with Yami Bakura?  Ryou with Malik and Yami Malik?"  Seto raised an eyebrow.

Yami shrugged, "Don't ask me."

"What about you?"

Yami was taken aback at the question.  Did Seto Kaiba just ask him whether he was dating anyone?

"Iie…"

"Oh…"  'Did I just hear relief in Seto's voice?'

'Seto?  You're calling him Seto?'

"Shut up!"  Yami muttered.

"Excuse me?"  Seto asked confused.

"Nothing…"

"Ok."

They stood in a peaceful silence, staring out into the starry night sky.

"Do you believe in wishing upon a star, Kaiba?"  Yami broke the silence.

"Wishing upon a star? That's childish."  Seto snorted. 

"Come on, don't be such a stuffy adult, Kaiba.  Pick a star and make a wish."  Yami teased.

Seto grumbled, but he focused on a star and closed his eyes.

He turned to Yami when he was done.

Yami still had his eyes closed.

"So what did you wish for?"  Seto asked when he was done.

"It wouldn't come true if I told you."  Yami grinned.

Snowflakes started floating down from the dark night sky around them.

Seto saw Yami shiver gently. 

He chuckled. 

"What's so funny?"  Yami asked, annoyed.

"You've never been experienced winter in Japan have you?"

"Gee…what gave that away?"

"Well, you're dressed in a t-shirt without a jacket and you're shivering.  Winter here is cold…very very cold.  You'd freeze to death without a jacket."

"So would you be a gentleman and lend me you're jacket?"  Yami asked sarcastically.

To Yami's shock, Seto took of his jacket and wrapped it around him.  Seto didn't let go of the jacket.  He stared down at Yami with mixed emotions in his eyes. 

"Seto…?"  Yami asked as Seto leaned down.

Seto claimed his lips in a gentle kiss of pure ecstasy.

Yami was shocked.  'Does he feel the same?'

Seto was crestfallen when Yami didn't respond.  He started to pull away.

Yami snapped out of his trance and wrapped his arms around Seto's neck.

"Yami?"

"Shut up and kiss me."  Yami muttered.

"Gladly.  Aishiteru, Yami."  Seto leaned down.

"Aishiteru, Seto."  Yami stood on his tiptoes.

Their lips met and they shared a blissful first kiss.

A single star shot across the sky as the snow kept falling around them.

Beneath the masks of hate…there was something more...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Todo: I'm finally done!!! Yahoo!!!! Gomen…that was sappy.  I'm a romantic…ehehe…

Tsuki: ::glomping Seto:: that wasn't half bad. You seriously need a boyfriend…

Yami: Yeah…::trying to save Seto:: MINE…HE'S MINE!!

Todo: - -;; why don't you just sent Tsuki to the Shadow Realm, Yami-kun?
Yami:  Oh, that's right…I can do that…ehehe…::sends Tsuki to the Shadow Realm::

Seto:  x_x

Yami:  Seto!!!  ::hugs and kisses Seto::

Todo: Get a room you two.

Seto: ;:revived:: fine we will.  ::drags Yami into nearest room::

Todo: o_O I dun wanna know…

Anyway…what do you think?  I'm sorry I made them a bit OOC.  Gomen!!! Don't kill me…At least they got together rite? ^_^;; … I know they kissed twice, but Yami didn't respond to the first one, so that doesn't count.  I'm sure you guessed what wish they both made.  Lol.   Review, onegai!!!  What should the pairing for my next Yu-Gi-Oh Fic be?  Tell me in your review…
