That last chapter wasn't the best…I'm sorry.
Thx for the reviews anyway. This chapter was written on a sugar high…so it's kind of weird…writing angst on a sugar high ^^;;
Yami Yuugi =Yami, Yami Bakura = Bakura and everyone else is everyone else. Couplings: Yami/Bakura, Seto/Ryou, Yuugi/Jounouchi (Jou)
Disclaimer: - -; go look at the first chapter!
Warning: Yaoi/ Shounen-ai…A lil OOcness from Yuugi…ehehe…
More Than You Realize: Overheard
Yuugi was nearly seeing red. 'Bakura is in so much trouble!'
He strolled up to the white two-story house and knocked. The near twin of said Tomb Robber answered the door.
"Hey Yuugi, what's up?"
"Where is Bakura?"
Ryou looked at Yuugi in surprise, "What happened Yuugi? You look practically murderous…"
"I want to talk to Bakura."
"Yuugi…whatever it is that my Yami did, it's gotten you pretty riled up. Maybe you shouldn't talk to him directly. Come in. Tell me what happened."
Yuugi nodded, walking in to the house.
Ryou led Yuugi to the simply, but comfortably furnished living room.
"Tea?"
"No, it's ok." Yuugi said.
"Well, then, what happened, Yuugi?" Ryou asked sitting across from Yuugi.
Yuugi sighed, and then recounted the events leading up to the present moment to Ryou.
~Flashback~
Yuugi walked in Yami's room, to make sure he was ok.
The sight that greeted him wasn't one he was use to.
Yami had his arms wrapped around his knees, leaning against the headboard of the bed.
Tears slipped one by one, rhythmically down his cheeks from his closed eyes. Yami barely acknowledged Yuugi coming into the room.
Yuugi walked over to Yami and enveloped him in a tight embrace.
"Yami, what's wrong?"
Yuugi gasped softly as the former Pharaoh looked up at him, his crimson eyes dull, lifeless.
"It doesn't matter…" His voice was hoarse, barely a whisper.
Yuugi was growing irritated, but he remained patient.
"Yami, it does matter! Whatever it is that happened, it does matter because it's gotten you into this state. Now tell me, what exactly happened on your walk?"
Yami didn't answer him.
"Damn it Yami! What happened?! Stop keeping it in! I'm worried to death and you're acting like a young child or something!" Yuugi yelled, his frustration getting to him, but it vanished instantly as Yami broke into a fresh bout of tears.
"What happened to you?" Yuugi's voice was soft laced with worry.
"B…Bakura…"
"What did he do?" Yuugi was immediately suspicious.
"I…told…him…how I felt…"
Yuugi blinked, he knew that Yami was in love with Bakura, but he never thought that Yami would actually work up the nerve to tell him. He kept quiet as Yami continued.
"He…thought it was a joke. Then he told me to tell him…even if I had to lie…that it was a joke…" Yami choked out.
"So you lied…?" Yuugi asked.
Yami nodded, "He didn't love me back…so what was the use of making him believe it wasn't a joke. Ra, it hurts so badly, Yuugi."
Yami buried his face in Yuugi's shirt, crying, "I never knew it'd hurt this bad, Yuugi. Why does it have to be this painful?!"
"Shh…Yami, it'll be ok…" Yuugi ran his hand through Yami's hair, trying to comfort him.
Yami jerked away violently, "No it won't! He still loves Ryou. It's not fair! I love him so much, but he's still chasing after something that's out of his reach."
"Yami…you'll forget around him…"
"I can't forget, Yuugi, I can't." Yami looked weak, afraid and broken, not even a shadow of his normal confident self was left, "Please just leave me alone, please!"
"But…" Yuugi wanted to say something, but changed his mind. He closed the door behind him softly as he walked out of the room.
Yuugi was angry with Bakura for his stupidity and blindness. 'We are going to have a long talk, Bakura. A really long one.'
He grabbed his jacket and dashed out of the house, ready to give Bakura a piece of his mind.
~End Flashback~
Ryou looked at Yuugi in shock, "…I had no idea Bakura was in love with me…"
"Well, he is." Yuugi said flatly. He was somewhat angry with Ryou for being so clueless.
"I'm so sorry, Yuugi. This is my fault. I'll talk to Bakura."
Yuugi was skeptical, "I don't think that'll do much even if he listens."
Ryou smiled, "It'll do more than you think. He'll listen. Bakura needs some sense knocked into him."
"I…" Yuugi was about to protest, but decided not to, "Thank you, Ryou. You don't know how much this means to me. I can't stand to see Yami hurt."
"Yami's my friend too and I don't want to see him sad. It is only right that I fix this, Yuugi. I'm partially responsible for this. They are meant for each other. It's just that my thick-headed Yami doesn't realize it." Ryou said slightly exasperated.
Yuugi smiled at this, "Well, I should go."
Ryou nodded, showing Yuugi to the door.
"Thank you again Ryou and good luck." Yuugi said before he walked away.
Ryou closed the door, "Now where is Bakura?"
"I'm here." A voice came from the staircase.
Ryou was surprised when he saw Bakura sitting on the staircase.
"Did you hear the entire thing?" Ryou asked.
Bakura nodded.
