A/n: Well, it's the end. Actually, there's going to be a preview of the sequel. 13 chapters, nice. Good number.
Seto: [frowns] 13 isn't a good number.
Me: [rolls eyes] Yes it is, silly. To me. I was born on the Friday the 13th. So to me it is.
Disclaimer: Okay, I'm getting really tired of this!!
Notes: Last chapter, fluffiness, Yugi angst, hinting of sequel. Wow! My first story ever finished! Enjoy! ^_= Beware of shortness. I couldn't think of anything to write.

In the living room, Mai, Joey, Seto, Ryou, Malik, and Téa were currently…gone. In other words, they were doing things you probably don't want to know about.
Yami Malik was still in his soul room. Serenity and Mokuba were still talking animatedly and Tristan was sulking in the corner about not having anyone who loved him. Isis was eating on the couch.
And Shadi was still missing.
When Yami and Bakura walked into the room, their hands linked, they got completely different responses from each of the remaining people than they had expected.
Serenity stared at them for a few seconds, then smiled before talking with Mokuba again.
Mokuba looked at them and shot the couple a cocky grin, then went back to listening to what Serenity was saying.
Tristan let out a frustrated sound and started muttering about how everyone had a boy/girlfriend. Then he walked out the door, slamming it as hard as he could.
Isis merely raised an eyebrow at them before shaking her head and going back to the crackers she was eating.
Yami and Bakura just stood there, waiting for someone to say something, though no one showed any sign of doing that.
"So much for an amusing reaction." Bakura muttered in Yami's ear. Yami grinned.
"That's okay. I bet the others will be surprised." He whispered back. But something was nagging him.
Why don't I feel guilty? Why don't I feel like I'm betraying Yugi? Shouldn't I? Isn't that how love works? Why?!?Bakura looked worriedly at him. "Are you all right?" Yami blinked at him.
"…Yeah." He sighed inwardly.
The only Moto child sat at his desk with his head buried in his arms. He threw the last piece of tissue in the trash can and missed badly. He sighed. His own words echoed in his head.
"You love somebody else. I can tell from the way your eyes are when we're together."
This was it. Even though he had said that only a few days ago, it seemed like an eternity. And then he hadn't known who that 'somebody else' was.
Now he knew.
And it was horrible to know who it was.
It was Bakura.
The one that he had thought that Yami had hated the most…
Loved Yami. But do you know what was the worst part?
To know that Yami loved him back.
Slowly, he took opened his top desk drawer and took out a piece of lined paper. He picked up a black pen and began to write.

Later that night…The two ancient spirits lay on top of Ryou's house roof.
After the party was over, the guests had gone home (obviously).
Mai and Téa had snuck over to Mai's place; the Wheeler and Kaiba siblings had gone to the Kaiba mansion; Isis, Malik and Ryou had gone to the Ishtar house. Yami had decided to go home with Bakura.
And now, there they were.
Just lying on top of the roof and enjoying the peace and the night sky full of stars. Both spirits lay there in silence, just enjoying each other's company and the stars twinkling up above.
Suddenly, Yami took Bakura's hand. With his free hand, he pointed at the sky when Bakura looked at him curiously.
"Look. It's a shooting star."
Bakura scooted closer to Yami and smiled. "Yeah…" Yami put his head on the thief's chest.
"Make a wish." The pharaoh said.
"Why?" Bakura answered. "I already have all I want. You and your heart."
He smiled softly and bent his head to kiss the pharaoh. Yami smiled into the kiss and flicked his tongue out to lick Bakura's lips. Bakura let out a soft moan and wrapped his arms around the pharaoh.
Yami let Bakura's tongue enter his mouth and explore every corner. He let out a moan, but it was muffled.
Finally, they let go of each other. Bakura hugged Yami to him. "Mine. My Pharaoh."
Yami smiled and kissed him on the nose before closing his eyes and sighing contentedly.
"I love you, Bakura." He whispered, truly meaning every word he said. He could feel that the bond with Bakura that had just been developed was much more stronger than the one he had had with Yugi.
"I love you too, Yami…" Bakura said softly before they both drifted off to sleep.
And there they were. Two lovers sworn to love each other forever…always.
-+- End -+-
A/n: Sorry, lame and short ending. But I just had to do that. I apologize for those of you who were hoping for a more dramatic, romantic, fluffy, or angsty ending.
Yugi: [claps cutely] Good ending.
Me: [hopefully] Really?
Yugi: No.
Me: Oh. [pouts] Here's what was originally going to be my ending:
Ding dong. Ding dong.
"I'll get it!" called Ryou. He opened the door and was met with a horrifying sight
No wonder both Shadi and the pizza man took so long…Ryou thought.
Shadi was the pizza man.
NOTE: The review replies will be in the next chapter and the preview for the sequel will be after that! They will be posted on the same day (hopefully).
2nd NOTE: Go read Silent Tears: Yami's Account. Remember the diary under Yami's bed? Well, it's a peek into that. It's weird. Heh. Go read and flame me, if you wish. Otherwise, review it and this!
