*Seto, Ryou, and Bakura are siting on a couch together staring across the room. Across
the room
on the other couch sit Yugi and his Yami. They all stare at each other. Saraha opens the
front
door carrying a large package. She sets it down on the coffee table and notices the two
leather
clad Yogi's siting in her living room.*
Saraha: Ryou...?
Ryou: Yeah?
Saraha: Are Yami Yugi and Hikari Yugi sitting over there in leather?
Ryou:..Yes...
Saraha: O.O Oh my!
Yami Yugi: Where have you been? Yugi and I were told to come here for this chapter of
the story.
Saraha: Seto, did Yami Yugi just speak to me?
Seto: Um yes.
Saraha: *eyes widened even more. She becomes tense for a moment before spring towards
the leather clad males and glomping them both.* Kawaii!!!
Bakura: *Laughs at the poor helpless bishies*
Seto: O_o;; Well at least it's not me this time.
Ryou: *opens the package to revile gifts from the reviewers* Gifties!
*Everyone in the room freezes. Saraha absentmindedly lets go of Yami Yugi but carries
Yugi with her to sit next to the bag.*
Saraha: Yep lotsa presents for everyone!
Yugi: Yay!
every fan girl in the room: Awww Kawaii!
Yugi: *blushes*
Saraha: Alright, first Seto this is for you! *hands him a book*
Seto: *smiles evily* Thanks Saturn! Now if only I could hide this from Saraha...
Saraha: I'd like to see you try! *pulls out a silver buckle* Yo YY!
Everyone: YY???
Saraha: Yami Yugi!
Everyone: Oh!
Yami Yugi: *takes the buckle* Thanks Saturn! Now I have over 3,000 buckles in my
collection!
*The room goes silent as everyone stares at Yami Yugi wondering why he would need
3,000 buckles
for. Yami Yugi sweatdrops*
Saraha: Right... well next person Yugi-chan! *holds up a teddy bear*
Yugi: OO Ooohhh... Yay!!! *snatches it up and hugs it* Thank you!
*Every fan girl gets all starry eyed watching Yugi cuddle the teddy bear. Yami Yugi looks
jelious.*
Yugi:This makes over 3,000 teddy bears for me!
Fangirls: Awwww! So Kawaii!!!
Yami Yugi: Hey! You all thought I was weird because of my buckles, what about Yugi's
teddy bears?
*Everyone ignores the Pharaoh's comments*
Saraha: Next up Yami B! *holds a spike collar up grinning evilly* Here ya go!
Yami B: A collar? What do I look like Joey???
Seto: *snickers absentmindedly*
Saraha: *Forces the collar onto Yami B's neck* Ooohhh! It looks great on you!
Yami B: *trys to take it off only to find fan girls with various 'of DOOM' weapons pointed
at him* oo;; Meep!
Saraha: *Cackles evilly* Ryou-chan! Here's something for you! *holds up lavender

Saraha: Could you... do that disclaimer?
Yugi: *gives an adorable smile* Saraha does not own Yugioh.
Everyone: Kawaii!!
Yugi: *blush* ^.^



-----------------------

Everything was so warm. So very warm and soft. I opened my eyes half way allowing the light
of morning into my mind. The first thing I noticed was that the clock's infernal ticking had
ceased. The second was the flesh on flesh contact of an arm place possessively around my
waist; warm breath could be felt on the back of my neck.
"Good morning my Hikari."
It hadn't been a dream, he really was there.
I felt him place a kiss on the back of my neck and my skin felt electric.
"Yam- mph!"
He had flipped me so that I was facing him before claiming my lips efficiently cutting off my words.
I wrapped my fingers into his silky white locks trying to push us closer together making me
feel utterly lost in the kiss. He moved ever so slightly so that he was on top of me,
his other arm now joined the first at my waist, knees on ether side of my hips. I closed my
eyes and let myself be held by the darker teen. He brushed a piece of my own white hair
from my eyes, fingers tickling eyelids as he did so. I felt so safe and comfortable in his
arms like I'd never felt before. He kissed each eyelid in turn before I opened
my eyes to him. As I looked at him I began to see the small differences between us both; his
chest was lightly muscled, where as mine was just very thin and the same went for our arms.
His eyes where like mine the color of melted chocolate, his hair pure white too; his seemed
to be more spike though. He moved one of his hands to touch my cheek and I noticed a tiny scar
on the palm, it was barely visible yet I could see the place where the skin was paler than
normal. I was about to ask him about it when we heard the sound of giggling across the room.
"Could you perhaps continue this later when you don't have guests, Masters?"
Startled Yami tried to turn and look too quickly and fell off the bed. I sat up to see Rune
and Yui looking at him, Rune with her devilish grin and Yui blushing like mad.
I looked over the edge of the bed to see a rather sprawled out Yami scrawling at the demoness
known as Rune and muttering something in Egyptian at the gold eyed girl. Yui if possiblereddened
even more while Rune looked like she could hardly containing laughter. I scooted forward to sit on the
edge of the bed as Yami somehow got back to his feet. He grumbled and retrieved a pair of jeans
from the floor and began to pull them on; I noticed there was now two pairs of jeans in the room
when before only mine had been there. I reached over the edge of the bed to grab my jeans when
I was tackled into a strong grip back onto the bed.
"Where are you going little one?"
Yami dressed in only his jeans still pinned my wrists on ether side of the bed.
A hand reached over to Yami's hair and pulled him off me.
"Really, thet's what you were doing when we got here! Can't you wait until later?"
"Rune!"
Yami fell once more ungracefully off the bed.
"Well Ryou does need to get dress at sometime or another."
Yami smirked.
"I don't think he does..."
I felt myself blush as the two continued to argue. Yui came over still blushing slightly, and handed me my clothes.
"You better get dress before they finish arguing."
I thanked her and dressed under the blanket feeling oddly shy around the two girls.
When I pulled myself out from under the blanket again Rune, Yami, and Yui were nowsitting on the
couch talking very quietly. Yami was now a bit more dressed, wearing the jeans with socks and
the green button down shirt without any buttons done; the sweater lay discarded on the floor.
He looked very good without the sweater.
Rune grinned as I came to sit next to Yui.
"Didn't I tell you that everything would turn out fine Ryou?"
She leaned over and hugged me, whispering in my ear so only I could here what she said next.
"You two were so 'energetic' last night the whole deck barely got any sleep you know."
She let go with a smirk and I felt blood rush to my face; Yui took this opportunity to glare at Rune.
"Leave the poor boy alone Rune! Can't you even be serious for once in your life?"
Rune stuck her tongue out at the blue haired girl.
"Come now Yui, you need to learn how to have fun!"
"It's not fun to mess with Master Ryou!"
Rune pouted eyeing Yui sadly.
"Awww you always say that Yui! People would think you were in charge in the deck."
"Would you two knock it off? Really, neither of you has matured in three thousand years
have you?"
Now both girls glared at the dark teen.
"Like you have ether 'Master'. Ryou's obviously more mature than you; an he's only had
fifteen years while you've had centuries!"
Yami growled causing Rune to giggle and reach over to pat his head making the white hair stick up at odd angles.
"We still love you though."
Yui nodded as well.
"The whole deck really missed you. Frolth won't shut up about how stupid the Pharaoh is though; you should be proud of that."
Yami grinned at the thought.
"I taught him well didn't I?"
Rune rolled he eyes.
"You over did what ever you 'taught' him. I was about ready to strangle the idiot when we felt your presence again."
The conversation was cut short when the sound of echoing foot steps was heard in the hallway.
"Hey Tea! Is Yugi awake yet?"
"I don't know! I haven't check on him. How about Joey?"
"I'm gonna go wake him. How about you wake up Bakura?"
"No way! What if he's still sleeping? I don't want to find out what you boys sleep in."
A grumbling sigh was heard.
"Fine, I'll get him up after I get Joey."
The sound of another door closing then silence.
Yami looked angry now.
"Stupid mortals, running around making so much noise about the brat and his friends."
Rune snickered before mocking Yami's voice.
"Oh what fools these mortals be!"
She then switched back to her normal voice.
"Really, you sound like an old man when you do that!"
Yui hid a giggle behind her hand as Yami glared at Rune.
"Well, all the idiots ever talk about is the Pharaoh's brat."
Rune looked thoughtful before nodding.
"That's true, they do talk about Yugi-chan a lot more than they need to."
Yami's eye twitched.
"Yugi-chan?"
Rune smirked.
"That's his name, not Pharaoh's brat."
"I don't care about his name! All that matters is he works for the Pharaoh."
I couldn't keep my mouth shut any longer.
"Yami, why are you so mean to Yugi? He didn't do anything to you!"
Yami looked at me with an uncomfortable stare.
"He's the Pharaoh's Hikari, therefore he is my enemy."
"He's my friend though! He's not doing anything against you."
"He took you away from me and his Yami banished me. Is that nothing?"
"You tried to kill his friends! He did have his reasons!"
Yami stopped looking at me. He examined the scar on his hand instead.
"Rune, Yui, go."
Rune's eyes widened.
"But-"
"That was an order Rune."
Rune looked upset but she bowed and she and Yui disappeared.
Yami carefully traced the line on his palm refusing to look at me.
"You know how I got this scar Ryou?"
I began to shake my head but, remembered that he wasn't looking at me.
"No.."
"I got it on the last day I was alive. I got it because I was careless, I let my guard down
and I suffered for it. All because of the Pharaoh and his little helper.
My life ended because I didn't think that the Pharaoh could out smart me."
I felt my stomach tie itself in knots. Yami continued.
"I-"
The sound of someone opening the door was heard and yami disappeared into the ring.
Tristin poked his head in.
"You up Bakura?"
I nodded and got up, not trusting my voice to keep from becoming giving away my
emotion at
the moment.
"Ok, we're all going to meet in Yugi's room, are you coming with us?"
I nodded again and followed him silently out of the room.

-----------------------
*The room is trashed with piles of boxes, candy wrappers, and soda cans. Yami Yugi is laying
on one couch with Yugi sleeping in his lap hold the teddy bear (^.^ Kawaii!). Seto is flipping
through his new book looking very happy for once. Saraha is laying with a pillow on the floor
staring at Ryou and twitching occasionally, she seems to be having a post-sugar-high reaction.
An empty plate that once contained S-F's cookies lay next to her. Ryou and Bakura are sitting
on the couch looking at the messy room. Bakura tugs absently at his collar as Ryou sweatdrops.*
Ryou: Hey Yami...
Bakura: Hmm?
Ryou: What exactly happened?
Bakura: I have no clue Hikari...
Ryou: What should we do then?
Bakura:...We could just end the chapter.
Ryou: *yawns* sounds good to me.
Bakura: Ok, well Saraha will get to writing as soon as she's not so... twitchy.
Ryou: Oh and Saraha also wanted to say gomen for the long wait, she'll expain later why it took
so long. *looks at the twiching girl* Hopefully. Ja!
