Ichigo-chan: Hi! Hi! Welcome to the fourth chapter of Stuck with you! I'm your authoress the lovely Ichigo-chan! And here with me is my overly cute muse! Masa-kun, take a bow!

(Masa-kun bows, or rather, he does a short bob up and down)

Ichigo-chan: I know that a lot of problems have been going on with this story, thanks to those who mentioned it. Hopefully, this chapter will have no problems.

(Yami raises hand to point out problems)

Ichigo-chan: (rolls eyes) Technical, not content. Anyway, I'd like to mention a good friend of mine. Blue Elf the reviews are cute, reeeeeeeeaaaaally cute, but why are you sitting here reviewing when you're supposed to be writing!!!! That was a question…really…Anyway, no silly comedy routines today, Masa-kun.

Masa-kun: I still don't have any signs.

(Ichigo-chan pulls out a HUGE pack)

Ichigo-chan: They were on sale at Wal-Mart Enjoy!

(Masa-kun scribbles quickly on sign with tail then holds it up. The sign reads: Ichigo-chan does not own Yugioh, but she does own the forest and the problems she was born with.)

Ichigo-chan: (indignantly) Hey!

Masa-kun: On with the story!

Stuck With You

Chapter 4: Love Hurts

Dedicated to the day Blue Elf gets off her lazy ass and writes

Yami stared at Bakura, slightly worried. In all the time he'd known the tomb robber, he'd never once seen him cry. Yell, scream, curse sure, but never cry. Yami wondered if he should wake him. Bakura may not appreciate showing his weakness to anybody, especially Yami. But, as Yami's hand hovered over him in indecision.

Finally, he made his decision. He shook Bakura lightly. "Wake up."

Bakura rolled over onto his side. "Ryou…don't go…" He mumbled in the disjointed way people do when they're talking in their sleep.

Ryou? "Yami shook him a bit harder. "Wake up!"

"Not fair…go 'way pharaoh." Yami was so distracted by those words that he failed to notice Bakura's fist on a collision course with his face. Yami caught on unawares, was thrown off of the rock. Bakura simply moved over, happy to have more room.

Yami got up holding a hand over his eye. This…was war! Angrily, he leapt on top of Bakura and began to pummel him.

Marik woke up to see the two of them throwing fists, curses, and insults on each other's family honor. Rolling his eyes, he rolled back over and went back to sleep.

Later that morning, Marik walked in between the two, all three of them munching on candy bars. "So tell me again, why the hell did you attack me while I was sleeping?"

"You were twisting and turning, you woke me up. I figured you were having a bad dream so I woke you up!"

"So was Marik" At the look Yami gave him, Bakura thought about that a moment. "Never mind, forget I said that."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Marik asked offended.

"You certainly woke me up." Bakura began sarcastically ignoring Marik as he rubbed his black eye, identical to the one he'd given Yami. "You must be a huge help to Yugi in the mornings!"

Yami rolled his eyes. "I was trying to help. I guess that's a lost concept these days." Bakura flipped him off.

"You want to know what I think?" Marik asked

"No." They both responded.

"Maybe you two have repressed feelings for each other. I mean, the saying goes 'You always hurt the ones you love."

"Then Marik," Yami began sweetly. Marik began to back away, not liking that tone of voice. He definitely knew he didn't like the way Bakura was cracking his knuckles. "We love you a lot."

Marik began to run as the two yamis turned highly violent after a day in the forest began to chase after him.

Marik rubbed sulking at his matching black eye. Across from him, Bakura and Yami glared just waiting for him to say something so they could beat the crap out of him again.

"Marik," Yami said suddenly, breaking the silence, "Why are you lost in the forest?"

"I like walking in the forest, it's peaceful. I just forgot to bring a compass so…" He made a gesture, "here I am. How did the two of you end up here?"

"I was following him." Yami pointed to Bakura.

"I knew you were following me." Bakura mumbled. The two turned to him, curious as to what he had to say. "I…umm…"

"You know, we're forest, we could be the last people we ever see. Do want to die with whatever's bothering you still on your conscience?"

Bakura squirmed. Yami'd seen more human things about Bakura in a day, than he cared to see in a lifetime. "Ryou and I had a disagreement." He mumbled.

"About what?" Marik asked curiously.

"Well, it was…why the hell am I telling you???!!!!" Bakura finished indignantly.

"Remember this conscience thing?"

"Go to hell Marik."

"You know what Bakura, you've definitely calmed down more. No threats to send anyone to the shadow realm in over five hours." Yami teased.

"Shut up Yami!" Bakura may not have noticed it; Yami and Marik noticed it though, because it was the first time Bakura hadn't called Yami Pharaoh or anything more offensive.

There was a long silence. "So what are we now?" Marik asked.

"I think you may want to rephrase that question."

Marik shook his head. "I mean we just had a warm moment."

Bakura rolled his eyes. "Don't ruin it Marik."

The silence was now a comfortable silence. At least it was until Bakura stood up suddenly.

"Where are you going?" Yami asked

"I'll be back." Bakura replied.

"We shouldn't split up you know, we'll go with you. You may need help you know." Marik began to stand up.

"Bakura turned. "I'm going to go pee; I've been doing it by myself for over five thousand years. I don't think I need help." With that said, he hurried off.

"I thought he was sealed in the ring for five thousand years!"

"Don't think too hard about it."

"Yami, I've been meaning to ask you a question." Yami looked up. "Are you able to get in contact with Yugi? Through the millennium item I mean."

"Not since I got into the forest." Yami had been worried about that too. Marik opened his mouth to comment but shouts of "Guys, come here quick!" interrupted him. He closed his mouth with a slight frown, and hurried over to where Bakura was shouting almost frantically, not forgetting to pause and pick up the bag that lay abandoned on the ground first.

Bakura: What?! You ended it there?!

Ichigo-chan: I'll pick up next week.

Bakura: You made me soft!

Ichigo-chan: Love does that to the best of us!

Bakura: (Rolls eyes) Whatever

Ichigo-chan: I've noticed there's a lot of eye rolling in this chapter, anymore and they'll be rolling all over the forest. Masa-kun.

(Masa-kun scribbles out a sign and holds it up. The sign reads: Please Review)
