A/n: I was suffering from major Writer's Block when I originally wrote this, so forgive me if it's absolutely pointless. And…there's not much Kura/Yami in this chapter. Just a warning.

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

Disclaimer: What do you think? [And yet again, that means that I'm not claiming Yu-Gi-Oh!]

The thief pulled up to the Bakura driveway. Yami's words ran through his head.

Yuugi broke up with me…

Yami was…he was single now. It was a dream come true. Demo [but]…I promised myself that I wouldn't fall in love with him again. I can't forget the past…Bakura thought sadly. He slammed the door of the car, grabbed the groceries, and fumbled with his keys. After finally managing to open the door, he ran with the bags into the house and dropped them on the kitchen floor.

Then he ran back to the front door, locked it tight, and ran back into the kitchen. He grabbed a box of cereal from one of the bags and went into the living room. He seated himself on the sofa, starting to surf the channels on the television. Without removing his eyes from the TV, he grabbed a handful of cereal and ate.

Finally, when he was content and satiated, he lay himself down on the couch and drifted off to sleep.

(( A little backwards in time, back to before Yami woke up…))

Ryou sat on Malik's bed while his lover dialed the number to the Kame Game Corner. It rang four times before it was picked up.

"Ohayo, Kame Game Shop. May I help you?" came Yuugi's voice from the other end of the line.

"Yuugi?" Malik asked.

"Malik?"

"…Yeah. Can you come over to my house? Ryou's already here." Malik stated. Yuugi paused.

"Sure, I guess. Why?"

"Uh…I'm not sure. Ryou says that you'll find out when you get here. I have no idea what this is about." The Egyptian replied.

"Okay. Ja."

"Ja." Malik hung up.

"So?" Ryou asked from the bed. Malik nodded, seating himself next to Ryou. He was leaning in for a kiss when the doorbell rang. He scowled darkly and ran downstairs, opening the door.

"BAKA [Idiot]! I WAS AB—" He stopped in the middle of his sentence and looked down to see a smiling Mutoh Yuugi. "Oh. It's just you. Gomen." He apologized. Yuugi shrugged.

"No big deal. So what did I interrupt on that would make you yell so loud?" he asked innocently. Malik blushed.

"…Nothing. How'd you get here so fast?" He asked curiously. Yuugi raised an eyebrow.

"Malik, I live right by the corner." He said. The blonde sweatdropped.

"Oh yeah. I forgot." He led Yuugi upstairs to his room, where Ryou was waiting.

"Hey, Yuugi!" Ryou greeted.

"Hello, Ryou-kun!" Yuugi replied. He cocked his head to the side. "Why am I here again?"

Ryou hesitated. "Well…I want to take action on what we discussed yesterday night. I think what you suggested, Yuugi, is a good idea, but I wanted to make sure there were no other ideas."

Malik frowned. "Did I miss something?" Ryou grinned sheepishly. He pulled his boyfriend onto the bed. Malik wrapped a protective arm around his waist and Ryou leaned his head on his shoulder. Yuugi just sat down on the carpeted floor. He averted his eyes politely and sadly from the happy couple. It made him think of Yami.

Of how they used to cuddle, of their first kiss…and of Yami in general.

Ryou noticed how Yuugi wasn't his usual cheerful self and how his eyes reflected sorrow. "Yuugi?" he asked softly. "Is something wrong?" Yuugi bit his lip, trying to hold back the tears that flooded his eyes.

"I…I…I-I-I broke up with Yami…" he said softly and hugged his knees to his chest, sobbing into his arms. Both Ryou and Malik gaped. Yuugi and Yami…not together anymore?

It had been the two Sennen Puzzle owners that had played matchmaker for the two of them. They had showed the two of them not to be embarrassed about their sexual preferences.

And now…they weren't even together anymore?

It came as a huge shock. But something's not right here. Yuugi said that he broke up with his yami. Then why is he crying? Ryou thought.

"Yuugi?" he asked. "If you broke up with him…then why are you so upset?" Yuugi raised a tearstained face up and looked at his pale haired friend.

"I didn't want to. I really didn't. But he…he loves another. As in…not me." At these words, fresh tears flowed down his cheeks. Ryou rushed to his side and hugged him in sympathy. Malik sat down on his other side and awkwardly patted Yuugi on the back, not good at comforting people.

Yuugi looked up at the other two hikaris. "Thanks, guys." He whispered. They both grinned.

"No problem."

"So Yuugi-kun, you suggested a party, right?" Ryou said uncomfortably, trying to change the subject. He turned to Malik for a moment. "Yesterday, Bakura seemed really…depressed. I think he feels left out. So I asked Yuugi for ideas to cheer him up." Yuugi nodded.

"We could plan it out and invite everyone. It'd be fun." He said, sounding a little more like his normal self.

Malik raised an eyebrow. "We?" Ryou smiled sweetly at him.

"Yes, we." Malik sighed.

"Wait, everyone?" he asked. "Everyone, or everyone everyone?"

"…What's the difference?" Ryou asked confusedly.

"One has one everyone and the other has two everyones so everyone would only be everyone and everyone everyone would have literally everyone." Yuugi said matter-of-factly. Ryou rubbed his head.

"Somewhere along there, I got lost. But I suppose you made some sense. Could you repeat that, onegai [please]?"

"Sure! One has everyone and the othe—" Yuugi started. Malik shoved his hand over the younger light's mouth.

"Forget I ever said anything! So…how are we going to do this?"

"Umm…we need to write invitations." Ryou said. Malik groaned impatiently.

"Can't we just call them up?"

Ryou shrugged. "I guess. Now who are we going to invite?"

"Yami, Bakura, Mariku, Jou, Honda, Anzu, Shaadi—" Yuugi started to ramble off names of everyone he knew. Malik interrupted.

"Shaadi? Are you talking about the Guardian? He lives in Egypt!" Yuugi raised an eyebrow.

"…and your point is?" he asked innocently. Malik slapped his own forehead and waved his hand to signal for Yuugi to continue.

"—Isis, Kaiba, Mokuba, Shizuka, Otogi, Mai, Pegasus—"

"PEGASUS?" Ryou shrieked fearfully. "Pegasus? As in Pegasus J. Crawford, the former owner of the Sennen Eye? Why would you invite him?" Yuugi shrugged and went on with the list.

(( Eight minutes later…))

"Okay! Okay! You can stop now!" Malik yelled. Yuugi stopped and looked at him confusedly.

"Why?"

"Um, Yuugi? Don't you want to narrow that list down?" Ryou asked. Yuugi frowned.

"Aww…fine. We'll invite Yami, Bakura, Mariku, Jou, Honda, Anzu, Isis, Mai, Kaiba, Mokuba, Shizuka, and Shaadi." He listed. Ryou sighed.

"Yuugi, that's still twelve people, fifteen including us three." He stated. Yuugi looked at him.

"So?"

"Are your jii-chan and mother really going to let you host a party with eleven teens, three spirits from Ancient Egypt, and the Guardian of the Sennen Items, who lives in Egypt?"

"Sure. Why not? Jii-chan and Mother aren't even going to be there." Yuugi replied confidently. Both Malik and Ryou sighed, but shrugged nonetheless.

"It's your place that's going to be trashed." Malik said. Ryou tossed Yuugi the phone and Malik an address book. Yuugi tossed the phone back to Ryou.

"You call. It's your party."

Ryou scowled, but grabbed the address book from Malik's hands nonetheless. He dialed Jounouchi's number.

"Ohayo, Jou? Oh, were you sleeping? Gomen nasai. Let me ask you a question, though. Would you like to come to a party?"
