Author's Notes: Well, here it is! Chapter 9! And, yes, this is FINALLY
the lemon between Ryou and Bakura!!! WHOOHOOO!!!! Well, actually, if ya
wanna see it you'll have to go to my Yahoo group, the address of which is
below in my fic! *reviewers cheer with her* *bows* Thank you, thank you...
Y.C.: *stares*
Author: Whaaaat? I'm in drama! I'm practicing getting rid of stage fright! :P
Y.C.: *sighs* There's a difference between getting up in front of people you hate, and getting up in front of people you like.
Author: So? *glances at reviews* YAY!!! I finally got more than 100!!! WHOOHOOO!!! This chapter is dedicated to all my adoring fans of Soulmates!! Thanks for giving me the inspiration to continue!!
Wings Vaporeon- Nope! You're wrong! ^_^ Ha! Surprised you, didn't I? :)
YamiEmmy- I'm so glad you're speechless! Glad you liked Chapter 8! (Though FF.Net labeled it as 9)
Asian Angel 12- Heh. Sorry. Oh, it was no problem to read your fic! I liked it a lot!
Amy Bakura- *cackles* Sorry bout the cliffhanger...
Akemi- *blushes and hands Akemi a Kleenex* Wow, thanks for your extravagant compliments. Really?!?! YAAYY!!!!! *glomp* Thank you for continuing! I'll go read it right away! I am sorry for the long wait, everyone. It just so happens that my best friend in the whole world moved away not too long ago, one of my other friends might be moving as well, I saw a guy I hoped I'd never see again, I lost my favorite ring -which held my Yami in it and now my Yami is weakening-, and I saw the guy from my past who was formerly my boyfriend (what the hell was I thinking?) again. It was kinda funny, though, cause he walks up to me to talk to me, and I just turn right around and leave. (I had to go anyway *heehee*)
Dracana Luna Challenge Master- *chuckles at thoughts and actions* *smiles* I'd love to check out your story. The only problem is, I'm gonna need to know what it's title is. ^.^
Chibi Hikari aka Chibi Malik- No problem!! *grinz*
Vampire Huntress D- I'm glad you like them! And I will try to update more often.
KawaiiBlackMoon- Kodocha: Sana's Stage, huh? I'll have to check that out. Yes, she did write another book. But even though it was FABULOUS no one wanted to publish it 'cause she was a new authoress and all. Although, J.K. Rowling was rejected 10 times before Harry Potter was published!! I'll bet the ones who refused her are kicking themselves in the arse right about now.
Yami lover- *winces at outburst and clamps hands over ears* Uh...*tentative smile*...this chapter??
Chisa and Neko- *grinz* Thank you.
RageAomori- Oooo, yummy!! Halloween candy!! Thank you! *gets hit in head by basket of fruit* Hey!!! *grinz* It's Fruits Basket!!! *cackles* I love that new anime. Fruits Basket RULES! Especially Yuki Sohma. Tomato for mee?!?!? YAY!! I LOVE tomatoes!! *chomp, chomp, chomp*
Jessie Weasley- Humorous. And, I will read your stories. IF you give me their titles! ^__^ Unless of course you want me to read more than one.
Crystaldraygon98- O_O Oh my. I do? YAY! I'm glad you like it so much.
MidnightSky- I'm glad I could help!! ^.^
Rian- Um...okay. *sheepish smile*
K-chan- YAY! Thank you for telling us!!
Kitty- Um, Kitty-san and Amethyst-san? Could you please limit your reviews to only one? It takes up space for so many short reviews from the same person. I am glad you like this story though! Er...*questioning look*...how long have I been writing?? Do you mean literally or just on FF.Net? Cause if you mean just on FF.Net, I have no clue. I you mean literally, ever since I can remember!
MoonBlueLX- Awwww, I'm so glad my fics make that much of an impression on people!! *sniffle*
YamiAsefe- S'ok. Um...albino people DO have hair. It's just really really light-colored so it's almost invisible. And, yes, you're probably right. Ryou/Bakura would be half, cause of their eyes. Plus their hair is pretty visible. Yes, there will be more YugixYami. SURE!! ^__^ Not on the phone, obviously. That got me grounded. But if you have Yahoo Messenger, I can. Don't ask me to get AOL, cause I did once and it screwed up my computer. Luckily it didn't bomb all my fics. *horror-stricken look at mere thought of that happening* If you do have Yahoo IM, my SN is cassie_the_dragonlady. If you don't have it, just e-mail me at cassie_the_dragonlady@yahoo.com . Which character do I like best???? O___O Uhhhhh...I like them all but I think my favorite would either be Yami or Yami Bakura...no, wait, Yami Bakura, hands down.
Lime Green Jello- Heheh...sorry. Couldn't help putting in flashbacks. If you do read it in one sitting, tell me! I wanna know if it can be done. ^_^;;; I'm glad you like the review replies! I try to reply to everyone, but sometimes people leave such short replies that there's really nothing of importance to write back for. But there are some that leave HUGE reviews, which I am VERY thankful for!!
Katana: ACK! *tries to rid herself of choking hands* *her yami comes to her rescue, prying Katana off her* Er, no problem!! Dun worry!! ^_^ Here's the next chappie, right here for ya! Just...don't try and attack me again, k? My Yami-chan just might hurt you.
GYSH- Could you please limit your reviews? ^_^ I'd appreciate it. Not that I don't like them or anything, it's just I get confused and think a whole lotta people have reviewed, and when it turns out to be only one person I get kinda discouraged. Actually, screw Resident Evil. Never go see The Ring. If you wanna have nightmares (or if you think you won't be scared), go ahead, but proceed at your own risk. You'll start seeing death omens everywhere. I did. *shiver* Still do. Ladders, chairs, and scary little girls- oh my! You're very much right, Sura. Not everyone isn't afraid of being rejected. I know I'm afraid. Oh, gods, I HATE the pirate ship ride!! That pirate ship thingy can go to hell! I once had a nightmare from it, even though I never went on it!! ^_^ But that was a really long time ago. Well, see, that's the thing. I don't necessarily like the people, but I like some of their music. Especially when it corresponds so perfectly with one of my fics, ne?
Yu-Gi-Oh: Soulmates
Chapter Nine: The Path of Soulmates
The two just stared at each other.
It seemed like an eternity passed around them before either of them broke the silence, so enraptured were they with knowing things about the other they'd never thought of before.
The silence broke, and so did Ryou. Ryou collapsed into Bakura's arms, sobbing pitifully.
"I didn't know," Ryou repeated over and over in a pained whisper. Bakura comforted the boy as best he could, holding Ryou tightly against his body and rubbing the boy's back.
"Shhhh," Bakura murmured. "It's alright..."
"Such a horrible life..." Ryou sobbed. Bakura sighed, hugging him tighter.
"Not since you came into it, love."
Ryou's head shot up. "What did you say?!"
Bakura blushed. (KAWAII!!! *glomp*)
"Not since you came into it..."
"No, not that. You said something else."
The hopeful expression on Ryou's face touched Bakura. Bakura smiled softly, and did the first thing that came to his mind.
Ryou didn't understand what had happened until long after it had begun. It felt so exhilarating to have Bakura's lips pressed up against his own that Ryou sagged with the intensity, going limp in his yami's arms. Bakura pressed Ryou closer, kissing him more passionately, not seeming to notice that Ryou had just melted with the consistency of butter left in the sun too long.
Once Ryou had regained his thoughts, he wrapped his arms around Bakura's neck, moving as close to Bakura's body as was physically possible. Ryou felt Bakura's tongue touch his lips, and his mind blanked for a moment as he opened his mouth to his yami and Bakura's tongue plunged in, exploring the depths. All thought or reason had left the both of them. Lust, passion, and love had taken over. They tore at each other's clothing, trying to slip it off without breaking contact with their mouths.
==========================================================
(I'm sorry to deny you your lemon scene 'cause of FF.Net's new stupid rules. If you want to see the full-lemony chapter, go to my yahoo group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dragon_mistress_cassies_fanfiction/ )
"Pharaoh, may I please see you?" Faia said, appearing out of nowhere. She had left only minutes before. Yami nodded, and followed the woman into a side room. Faia displayed what was happening with Ryou and Bakura on the wall. Yami began to cough, trying not to choke on his own laughter as he tried in vain to breath. Faia stared at him for a moment. When he had regained his composure, she spoke.
"Yami-sama, will you please explain to me what they are doing? It seems so violent, yet...I don't know. I've never seen this before. Have they repaired their trust or not?"
"Oh, they've repaired their trust alright," Yami laughed, flushing with slight embarrassment at seeing his two friends' activities.
"Good. Then I shall bring them back-"
"NO!"
Faia stared at him. Yami blushed.
"Sorry. It's just...I think you should leave them alone. In fact, why don't you teleport them back to their house, in Ryou's bed?"
Yami was just about to lose it to his laughing fit when Faia nodded, and the two half-albino boys disappeared from the screen. Yami was dismissed, and he left the side room. Once outside, he erupted in laughter once more, clutching his sides and collapsing onto the floor. His friends rushed over to him, standing around in confusion whilst he laughed all the breath out of his lungs. Once he was done, Yugi kneeled next to him, draping an arm around his shoulder.
"What happened, Yami-chan?"
Yami chuckled, wiping tears of mirth from his eyes. "Bakura and Ryou are havin' it out."
Yugi and Jounouchi were the first to comprehend. They busted out laughing, just as Yami had done. It took Honda more time, and Anzu even longer. When they did understand, they simply blushed furiously.
==========================================================
(Okay, fine, I won't keep you... *grumble, grumble*)
Ryou found himself under his yami, in his own bed, and he desperately prayed what had happened wasn't only a dream. He didn't open his eyes until Bakura stroked his face.
"You okay?" Bakura murmured, concerned. Ryou opened his eyes and gave him a dazzling smile, throwing his slim arms about his yami's neck.
"Oh, I thought it was a dream!"
"Never. I've loved you since the first moment I saw you."
Ryou drew back, staring. "Then...why did you...?"
Bakura tried to smile, but failed. He used one finger to stroke the red mark on Ryou's cheek. "I'd always been taught that love was weak, and I especially didn't want to fall for someone who was supposed to be my reincarnate, and was everything I was before the slave master took me in. I guess...I wanted you to be more like me, as I am now..."
Bakura sighed, using his bangs to hide his tears. "I don't know. I wish it had never happened. I still don't know how you can accept me after all this."
"But I did," Ryou murmured, wiping the tears from his yami's eyes. "And I still do. That's the important part, ne? We're finally together. No more misunderstandings."
Bakura smiled weakly at him. "Ashiteru, my koishii Ryou no tenshi." ("Ashiteru" means "I love you", and "koishii Ryou no tenshi" basically means "beloved angel Ryou")
"And I love you, yami-chan."
Their lips touched once again, a kiss sweeter than honey.
Elsewhere, another couple enjoyed the same joy in each other's presence, golden hair flashing in the sunlight. They would forever remember their adventures by labeling it, "The Path of Soulmates."
