Pairings: Yaoi. Yuri. Bakura + Yami, Seto/Jou, Malik/Ryou, Mai + Anzu, implied Yami/Yuugi

(( The next morning… ))

Bakura sat up on Ryou's bed, sniffing for the delicious smell of his light's cooking. But it never came. The thief stood up confusedly and walked down the stairs dazedly. He rubbed his head. He winced. Ow. It still hurt from when he had hit the stone bench.

Ryou was nowhere to be seen. The house was completely empty; Ryou's father was on another business trip. He walked into the kitchen, quickly spotting a slightly crumpled note on the table, along with some coins. On the note was what was obviously Ryou's writing, though it showed that he had been in a rush when he had written it.

Yami-

Went to Malik's. I'll be back around one. You'll have to make breakfast yourself, sorry. Here's some money for going to the market. Unfortunately, there is absolutely no food in the refrigerator. (I think Jou at it all the last time he was here…) Ja ne!

- Ryou

Bakura glared at the note. I can't cook! Let's just hope that some of Aibou's talents have rubbed off on me. Otherwise…ugh, I don't even want to think about it. He grabbed the money and got ready to leave the house when he froze in his spot.

What the hell do you buy in a market?

***

The former pharaoh sighed as he got up from his bed in his vacant room. After taking a quick shower, he sat at the kitchen table and the memories of the night before flowed into his mind. He gave another depressed sigh.

He hadn't told Bakura the real reason he was at the park. Sure, it was true that he went there almost every night, but that bench was one of his and Yuugi's favorite places.

Yuugi.

The thought of the name just brought painful thoughts into his mind. His hikari, the one that he loved with all of his heart, had broken up with him…just yesterday night.

**Flashback**

"Yami, we can't be together anymore." Yuugi said bluntly. Yami gaped at him, completely startled at his partner's words.

"NANI?!? [What?!?]"

"You love somebody else. I can tell from the way your eyes look when we're together. I don't want to be in your way if you really wish to be with another…It wouldn't be fair to you…or that person."

"What are you talking about?" Yami questioned confusedly. "I love you."

"And you know that I love you two, but we both know that things aren't the same anymore." Yuugi said sadly, looking down. Yami gave his hikari a hard stare.

"If that's your decision, Aibou…then I'll respect it. But I swear that I do not love anyone else!" The pharaoh exclaimed, still confused.

"You may not know now, Yami-chan, demo [but]…you will soon. I know you will." Yami was silent. "Are you mad at me?" Yuugi asked meekly, mistaking his dark half's silence for anger. Yami shook his head.

"Of course not! I'm just…confused. Yeah, that's it." Yami shook his head and walked silently out the front door.

**End Flashback**

A single tear slipped from the spirit of the Puzzle's right eye. He wiped it away quickly, slightly embarrassed. He buried his face in his arms. Suddenly, the phone rang.

Ring ring! Yami just ignored it and stayed where he was.

Ring ring!

Ring ring!

Ring ring!

Yami threw a pen at it. "SHUT THE HELL UP, YOU DAMN PHONE!"

Ring ring!

He growled and picked up the phone. "Hello?"

"Pharaoh! Perfect. I will be at your house in exactly ten minutes."

"Uhh…wh—" Bakura hung up. Yami stared at the phone in disbelief. He shrugged and went back to moping in the chair.

(( Exactly ten minutes later…))

The back door creaked open quietly. Yami didn't move. Maybe that was because he didn't hear it. Bakura crept up to where Yami was sitting and yelled, "BOOOO!!!"

Yami still didn't move an inch. Bakura frowned. He had been hoping to make the pharaoh at least jump…or something! He poked his supposed enemy. Nothing. He poked him again. Finally, Yami raised his head.

"Hello, Thief." He greeted in a monotone. He received an odd look in return.

"What? That's it? No insult?" he asked, slightly curious. Yami was silent again. "…Pharaoh? Uhh…okay." He frowned. "Well, we are going to the grocery store."

Yami groaned. "Why?"

"I have to have breakfast, you moron. Hey! Do you have any food here?"

Yami shook his head. "Yuugi raided the refrigerator yesterday." He smiled sadly at his aibou's name. Bakura thought he was grinning.

"Okay, okay. I get it. You love your light. Now, let's go." Bakura dragged Yami off the seat, which resulted with the Puzzle spirit landing on the ground. Bakura pulled him by the arm outside and into Ryou's car, which he had 'borrowed'. Borrowed was a word that he used often.

He shoved Yami, who showed no resistance, into the passenger seat and got into the driver's seat himself.

Needless to say, the thief's driving was not all that great. He swerved from side to side, ignoring all stop signs and traffic lights. Yami barely noticed…or if he did, he didn't say a thing. They arrived safely (barely) at the local market.

Yami turned to Bakura, finally speaking. "What do you buy at a market?" he wondered. Bakura groaned and slapped his forehead.

"You don't know either? Ugh, you're useless." He muttered. Bakura was sure that Yami had heard every word he had said, but he was still silent. The pale haired demon frowned. This silent side of Yami was annoying. It felt like he needed someone to insult him…namely the pharaoh.

***

(( Half an hour later…))

Bakura and Yami loaded the groceries into the trunk. A bunch of snacks, canned foods, and something that suspiciously looked like a dead squirrel…nothing special. Yami slid into the passenger seat while Bakura sat in the driver's. The thief raced to Yuugi's home, once again demonstrating his great driving skills and flattening a poor defenseless cat on the way.

Yami turned back in his seat to see the squat of fur on the road. He flinched as several other drivers drove over it.

Bakura screeched onto the driveway and parked to let Yami out. He hesitated, then asked as Yami stepped out, "Pharaoh, not that I care or anything, but why are you acting so…depressed?" in the least domestic voice he could come up with. Yami's eyes watered.

Yuugi broke up with me…" he whispered, slamming the car door shut and running quickly into the Kame Game Corner. Bakura just stared.

A/n: Uhhh…at least this chapter was more revised than the previous one. I found so many mistakes. I really sucked at writing back when I wrote this, didn't I?

Review, onegai.
