Anyways, Ffn.net was being stupid, yes, I'm typing this on Valentine's day *giggle* how kawaii, okay, not really, since I can't upload it until next Monday!!! *pout*

Thanks for the reviews everyone! ^_^ 22 reviews for 2 chappys, that's not bad in my book!

Here's chapter 3 of "The Real Cupid and Psyche"

p.s. YamiElfFromKemet Isn't this just the darnest best myth? XD

Disclaimer: If I owned Yu-Gi-Oh! I'd probably go insane w/happiness, but since I'm here, and not in the mental hospital, that would mean I'm still "reasonably" sane, and hence, Yu-Gi-Oh's not mine. (wow that was a weird disclaimer)

Warning: (I dun see how this is a warning anymore, I mean, everyone loves yaoi now! ^_^) but yah, this is Yaoi, shonen-ai, whatever.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Yami turned to look at who had just walked in. His eyes fell upon the boy he had waved at earlier. He examined him from head to foot, the boy was shorter than him and his eyes were rounder, filled with innocence and . . . fear?

He chose to dismiss his wonderment, and after a few moments of silence, started laughing. "I . . . can't believe . . . Mrs. Kenji gave you detention on your first day."

Yugi sighed, expecting the boy to react differently, but simply answered "yah" and sat down in a desk across the room from his mirror-image.

"By the way, my name's Yami"

"Yugi" was the quick reply made by the shorter boy.

"So . . . Yugi, where're you from?" Yami asked while poking at a piece of clay he'd acquired in art class with his pencil.

"Yokohama" was Yugi's next short response

"Really? Cool, why'd you come to Domino?"

Yugi stared down at the floor, and answered quietly "family . . ." and let his voice float off.

Yami nodded silently, pondering on that last answer, obviously, Yugi wasn't very talkative, especially not about his family, but he felt the need to learn more about this mysterious boy.

As Yami carefully molded the clay into a cube, he questioned Yugi some more

"Do you like Domino so far?"

Yugi shrugged, still staring into space "I don't know it very well, just got here yesterday."

"Okay, well I'm leaving" Yami suddenly said as he got up and started walking to the door.

"What??" Yugi yelled suddenly snapping out of his daze.

A smirk appeared on Yami's face, but since he wasn't facing Yugi, the boy wouldn't have seen it. "No teacher ever comes to detention"

Yugi looked around skeptically, as if a teacher would pop out from under a desk.

"C'mon, I don't have plans this afternoon, I'll show you around Domino, and maybe you can meet my friends"

Yugi bit his lip at the thought of meeting new people, and shook his head, "I don't want to get in trouble!"

"Okay, suit yourself" Yami answered as he began to walk away, he was almost near the school doors when he heard Yugi calling his name and smiled when he saw the boy running to catch up.

"I guess, it won't hurt to sneak out, just for today" a panting Yugi said as he got closer.

Yami laughed, "Trust me, you won't get in trouble, where do you want to go first?"

"I heard, that the park's nice" Yugi said timidly.

Yami smiled "Okay, let's go to the park"

* * * * * * *

When the two boys got to the park, it was quiet and serene, a sense of comfort hovered in the air as they walked towards the fountain.

Yugi dabbled his hand in the water absent-mindedly, watching the white bubbles surface. He closed his eyes and remembered the days when his mom used to take him to the park back home, he was small then, but he loved watching people fly their kites, kites of all shapes and sizes, dragons, fireflies, even some duel monsters.

He opened his eyes quickly and blinked away the stinging feeling in his eyes, knowing all too well that those were tears.

"Yugi, are you alright?" Yami suddenly asked walking towards Yugi quickly.

Yugi turned around and forced a smile "I'm fine, do you, uh . . . want to get something to eat?" he thought quickly and motioned towards the hot dog stand.

Yami raised an eyebrow at Yugi's shaky tone of voice and questioned "Yugi, what's wrong?"

Yugi turned away for a minute but still refused to say "Nothing's wrong Yami!! But, I don't feel good, I think I should go home" he turned away and began to leave the park.

"Okay, I'll go with you, just in case you get lost" Yami suggested, "Where do you live?"

Yugi thought for a minute "At the game shop, but you don't need to help me, I know where it is"

"Are you sure?" Yami asked, suspecting that Yugi was lying

"Yah, I'm sure" was Yugi's answer as he waved to Yami and ran across the street ready go home and cry the day away into his pillow.

//Hmm . . . I wonder// Yami thought to himself and slowly slipped across the street, careful not to be noticed by anyone.

* * * * * * * * *

//Okay, don't panic// Yugi thought to himself //I swear I've seen that tree before!!// He glanced from left to right, taking in his surroundings, //Tamo street, did I see that before? Wait, that was Temu street, WHAT?//

Yugi stopped and looked at his watch, it'd been about two hours since he'd left Yami at the park, he'd stopped and asked for directions twice, but no one knew "the game shop" they told him there were at least twenty in the city.

A crack of lighting caught Yugi's attention. He slowly looked up at the sky and for the first time that day noticed the ominous, black clouds that had been hovering overhead.

//Okay, so it's going to rain// Yugi thought //I'm okay, there's nothing wrong//

That is until the first pellet of rain hit his forehead.

What Yugi hadn't been accustomed to in Domino was the ice-cold rain. In Yokohama, it was always tepid, shower-like rain.

He ran another few blocks trying to get into a warm store, but when the owners noticed he wasn't buying, they shooed him out. Yugi was kicked out from every store and open awning. Finally, he managed to hide away under an old creaky one filled with holes that covered an abandoned store, the cold rain beating down upon it and creating drum-like music.

He shivered and wrapped his arms around himself to shut out the cold, but the cold, wet clothes didn't help preserve any heat.

Bitterly closing his eyes, Yugi tried to ease his cold and pain by imagining himself somewhere else, back home in Yokohama with his mom, in front of the fireplace, he saw her warm smile and her kind eyes, they were happy, and safe.

The rain only got worse and Yugi only got colder, he couldn't stop himself from drifting deeper and deeper into his painful delusion, and soon, he lay limp in the cold, vulnerable to anything the world could conger up.

* * * * * * * *

"Damn" Yami swore as he ran through the cold rain. "I know he never got home, I should have stopped him while I still could, where'd he go?"

"Yo Yami!" someone called from behind him

"Jou-kun?" Yami turned and asked when he saw someone with messy blonde hair and chocolate eyes run towards him, he had a smile on his face and a large blue umbrella in his hand.

"Yami!! What're you doing out here in the rain? It's freezing!! Do you need to come over to my house and warm up?" Jou asked, concerned for his friend, who was now soaking from head to foot.

Yami shook his head, water droplets coming off of his golden bangs as he did, "I need to find Yugi!"

"Who?" Jou asked.

"Never mind, can I borrow your umbrella?"

"Actually, I'll help you find this, Yugi, what happened to him?" Jou asked while handing the umbrella to Yami.

"I'll tell you while we're looking, come on!!" Yami urged Jou to run and both boys took off down the street, in search of the small, missing boy.

* * * * * * *

And the search for Yugi is on!!

Sry I kinda made Yami sound like a bubblehead in this chapter *sigh* dun worry, he'll get better XD

And I know this took a long time to get out, gomen-nasai again!
