Review Answers:
Black-Magic-Spellbinder- Thankies! ^__^ Sorry it took me so long.
Tomomi- *blinks for a moment* Did I e-mail you?? If I didn't, I AM SO SORRY!! X.X Please let me know and I'll e-mail you right away. I can be a huge ditz sometimes. I'd die before I ever read Anzu/Yugi/Yami fics. X_x Someone needs to kill her. No, wait, s'cuse me, someone needs to kill Kotori Monou. Good grief, I mean, I know people with strep throat that can scream better than her. And I recently pulled a muscle in my calf in my left leg, and I could still run better than her though I could hardly go down or up stairs!!! Oo; That's sad.
Hm. I love Y/Y, Y/S (or Y/K, whatever you wanna call it), Y/J (either Y), YY/B, R/B, and...um...oh yeah, J/S (or J/K)!! ^^ Um, I already knew about the whole konnichi wa and konban wa thingy. It's actually evening in that chapter. Sorry if I confused anybody. -.-;;
Dude, Ryuichi is fine. I mean, how can you be cute AND hot at the same time!?!? Hiroshi is just sexy. And Yuki...can we say SEX GOD!?!?! *drools over aforementioned Grav. guys* Um...oh yeah. Right. Fic.
Rei Kashino is hot, Kira is just like me, and together they are the most awesome couple! N-nani yo!?!?!? Is Kira's stepfather the one who forced himself on her that Masao was hinting at in the 7th manga!?!?! OROOOOOO!?!?!?! Love Chobits, love Marmalade Boy, wanna read Wish, just finished Kodocha #5 (Libraries rule!), and I have no clue what Kare Kano is. Oo; Eh...I dunno if this is longer or not. It will be once the lemon is completed, anyway. I, of course, won't be posting it on FF.N. Heh...made that mistake too much to do it again. -_-;; *sweatdrop* OH YEAH!!! You're my beta!! Ne, I guess that means I have to send this to you before I post it, ne, ne?
Raine dragon- YAY!! Thank you for your praise! :)
Candlelight- There's lots of cuteness, but there will be some tough times too. Not to mention at least a little bit of silliness. I always have to have some of that humor. I don't think I'll ever be able to write something truly angsty. I have to have a happy ending. *sweatdrops*
Iyasu- Eep! Don't die!! I'll get sued, and besides you have to read the rest of my fic!! Wheee!!! :):)
Destiny Makozuki- Nope. Konnichi wa means good day, and konban wa means good evening. Ohayo gozaimasu means good morning, which is what I would have used had it actually been morning that chapter. God, is it really THAT confusing?!?! O.o;;; Did I really make it that confusing? Oops.
Loanshark- Guess who else it getting together?? Yami Y. and Yami B. Oh, but don't worry. Their trust isn't quite repaired yet after what happened. BWUAHAHAH!!!! ROOOOAAAAAAAAARRRR!!!!
Neo-QueenRini- Wai! Thank you so much!
So very crazy- Nani? *blink, blink* Oo; Um, I'm glad you like it, but where'd the Barbie World song come from?
Hype-mistress- Yup, Soulmates is awesome!! Oh, and guess what?! The sequel is FINALLY out!! And I have the next chappie written, but I have ta give it Tomomi first, cause she's my beta! ^__^
Amethyst Sin- You probably have. This story was kicked off once and I put it back up. So you probably HAVE read it before. ^^;;; I've done that before many, many times, and even with stories that WEREN'T kicked off. I just forgot I'd ever read them. ^.^;;; Oh, well, okay, never mind. I just read your other review. ^^;;;;
NOTE TO ALL- Those who like really, really sappy, happy ending romance stories/movies, GO SEE "HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN 10 DAYS"!!!!!!!!! It is SOOOO worth it!! It's hilarious, cute, sappy, romantic, and just adorable. Not to mention I know someone who does a lot of what the main character does to 'lose the guy'. Which is really ironic. ^^;; She's all clingy and shit. It's really...just...I wanna barf when I see it. I would get SO annoyed. I'd be like, "DUDE!! I need some SPACE to MOVE!!!"

Yu-Gi-Oh
Eyes On Me
Chapter Five:
Back From The Shadow Realm?!
===============================================================
Yugi's eyes fluttered open sleepily, and he yawned, stretching. He froze as he realized there was a warm body next to him, and a large masculine arm around his waist. Blushing furiously, he remembered what happened last night, and blushed all the way from his head down to his toes. He felt Seto's body chuckle next to him, and a finger tilted Yugi's head up.
"You're so cute when you blush," Seto murmured for only Yugi's ears so he didn't wake anyone up, and he leaned down, placing a brief yet gentle kiss on Yugi's lips. To their horror, cheers broke out around the room, and their heads jerked up to see all of their friends very much awake. Seto glared, scowling, while Yugi merely blushed, seeming to find the ground incredibly interesting.
"Anyway, what's for breakfast?" Jou inquired, stretching even as he grinned at the couple.
'Your face if you continue to look at us like that,' Seto thought with malice. (*snigger*)
"Uh...d-dunno..." Yugi replied, still as red as a tomato. Anzu stood, and went into the kitchen.
"I guess I'll make us something then," she called over her shoulder. Jounouchi and Honda cheered. There was a comfortable silence for a moment, and then suddenly Jounouchi looked at Yami.
"Na, Yami-kun. You never did tell us about your, um...'escapade'...in Egypt."
Yami blushed faintly once he understood, and he looked at the floor. "It's nothing."
"Nothing my ass," Honda commented. Yami glared at him, eyes steely and cold.
"I'd rather not remember that time."
"Why?" Ryou pressed. Yami glanced at him for a moment, and then looked away sadly.
"I...was happy then...but because of...eh, a misunderstanding...my happiness ended rather shortly."
"G-Gomen nasai," Ryou hastily apologized, waving his hands slightly. "I didn't mean to-"
His eyes suddenly clouded over, becoming more narrow. His hair seemed to grow more pointy, and it was almost as if the boy had grown in height. A sneer appeared on the boy's face.
"Reminiscing about old times, Pharaoh?"
That last word had been more of an insult than a respectful title. Yami jerked up so fast that a normal human eye couldn't detect the movement.
"Bakura!" Yami snapped. "I thought I sent you to the Shadow Realm!"
"Oh yes," Bakura sneered. "Protecting your beloved reincarnation, and your little lap dog that you held more dear even in the old times."
Yami's face was full of pain. "Is that what you thought...?"
"Don't play dumb with me, bakayaro!" Bakura snarled. "I saw you two together, you little back-stabbing whore!"
SMACK.
Yami trembled with barely contained rage, the top of his hand glowing faintly pink where it had connected with Bakura's face. "How dare you," he snarled. "How dare call *me* a whore, when you were making out with Malik the whole time!! Don't even try to deny it! All I was doing was comforting a emotionally hurt friend when he thought Honda didn't love him. But you-! You *betrayed* me!!"
Bakura stared at him for a moment, eyes wide and full of a pain he tried desperately to hide and cover up with anger. "Liar! Malik kissed //me//, but I pushed him away, thinking of you!! While meanwhile, all you were doing was not trusting me and running away to your little slut dog!"
"KISAMA...!!" Yami snarled, his eyes beginning to glow. (OMG, I *so* took this from Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X. Kenshin, used in this context, means bastard. Yes, I know bakayaro usually means that. Oh well. Don't hurt me, hurt whoever subbed RK: Requiem for Patriots)
By now, everyone who was gathered in the living room -Anzu had come out of the kitchen when she heard the slap- were beginning to have some small comprehension of what exactly was going on. Jounouchi's eyes widened as he realized this somehow involved him. Or, at least, his past self...
"Um, guys?" Jou inquired. "We're still in the room, and very much confused."
He didn't try to get up and stop their fight, however. No one in their right mind would get in between two extremely pissed off yamis. (Ne, Aisha, don't we know it de gozaru ka? ^_^ Rouji and Leon had it out in that duel. Rouji still wants to challenge Leon again to beat him in the ground. Said it was the most he'd ever had. ^^;;; *sweatdrop* Ne, maybe you better give Leon cookies now before he goes on a rampage de gozaru yo.)
"I can see that," Yami snapped, eyes blazing as if there were a fire within. He didn't once look away from the half-albino in front of him.
"Careful, Pharaoh," Bakura sneered, bitterness seeping into his voice though he tried hard to fight it. "Don't wanna hurt your precious lap-dog so you send him yelping away, tail between his legs, do ya? Who then would you go to in order to betray those you claim to love?"
Yami snapped.
The former Pharaoh leapt upon Bakura, gripping the boy by his shirt collar and shaking him roughly. "Doushite!?! (Why!?!) Why do you refuse to listen to me!?!?!? Jounouchi-kun is a _friend_!! That's all he was then, and that's all he ever will be!! He loves Honda, not me!! And I...I love..."
Everyone in the room froze as Yami stopped shaking the former tomb robber, and he began to tremble, drops of wetness sliding off his cheeks onto Bakura's shirt. Mortified that his friends had seen him break down like this, Yami buried his face in Bakura's shirt, his breath coming in hitching gasps.
"...and I love you..." Yami sobbed desperately, fistfuls of Bakura's shirt clutched tightly in his hands. Bakura stared down at him incredulously for a moment, and then his eyes softened in a way no one had ever seen before. The spirit sighed, and then the Millennium Ring glowed. Suddenly, there were two half-albinos in the room now. Bakura had separated with Ryou.
The former tomb robber gathered Yami's shaking form into his arms, and when he stood, he glared around the room as though daring anyone to stop him while he carried Yami upstairs into Yugi's room. For a long moment, there was silence.
"Um...can someone tell me why my cheek hurts?"
===============================================================
Yami looked up as he was deposited on a familiar bed. "Nani yo?"
"Shhh," Bakura whispered, placing a finger on Yami's lips. Yami stared up at him, his eyes full of a painful memory neither of them had forgotten, even after all this time. Yami choked back a sob.
"What happened to us?" he whispered, voice laced with a deep ache. "Why were we so stubborn we didn't realize what we had done to each other?"
"And are still doing," Bakura murmured, sitting next to the former Pharaoh and wrapping his arms around the trembling form. Bakura held Yami close, resting his chin on the top of Yami's head, nuzzling his hair.
"It looks like we have a lot of explaining to do..." Bakura whispered, tightening his hold around Yami. "If I'm not mistaken, this all started when I saw you and Jounouchi's former form together, na?" (Na is a masculine form of ne, by the way)
Yami sighed contentedly against him, relaxing in Bakura's arms. Even after all of the pain, he still felt safe, protected, and loved in these arms. "Yeah. Jou-kun came to me because he thought Honda didn't love him anymore, and had cheated on him with some girl. If I'm not mistaken, that girl is Jou's sister in this life, though she looked slightly different then than she does now. I comforted him as best I could while he cried, and now that I think about it, it probably *did* look like I was cheating on you with him..."
Bakura sighed. "And then I ran off to Malik and told him. Malik calmed me down much like you did with Jou. That's when, of course, he told me he'd always loved me and he tried to kiss me."
Yami chuckled weakly. "Baka. He did kiss you."
Bakura smiled slightly. "Sou ka. (You're right.) He caught me off guard, that he did."
They were silent for a moment.
"And then Malik killed you 'cause he thought he could never have me..." Bakura whispered, nearly crushing the smaller body in his arms as he tightened his hold almost painfully. "And I lost you."
Yami smiled comfortingly, wrapping his arms around Bakura's neck. "It's alright..."
"I snuck into your tomb to say goodbye. As a tomb robber, I couldn't necessarily attend the ceremony, na?"
Yami chuckled. "And that's when you got sucked into the Ring because of my protection spell."
"Yup. By the way, I never did get you back for that. You sent me to the Shadow Realm when I tried to get my revenge on you."
Ironically enough, their tones were light-hearted. Up until now, that is.
Yami reached up a hand and gently brushed a lock of pale silvery hair out of Bakura's eyes, gazing into them searchingly.
"Yet you still came back...even from the Shadow Realm..." he stated wonderingly. Bakura smiled, and brought his face forward so that their foreheads touched.
"Not even the power of Ra could keep me from you long."
Yami smiled, tears sparking in his eyes, and he leaned forward, delicately melding his mouth to Bakura's. Bakura sighed contentedly against his lips, and moved his hands to Yami's face, cupping his cheeks as he turned the chaste kiss into a fiery, passionate one. It was a kiss of desperate longing, of being separated so long their bodies had forgotten the feel of each other and were dying from the loss of contact, and were now trying to remember each other. Bakura leaned back, wrapping his arms around Yami's waist once more, and they both slid languidly onto the bed, draped over one another. Their mouths didn't once separate.
(There will be a lemon here. Once I am done with it, I will post it up on my group site. I am creating my own website right now, so once that's up, it will be so much easier for you all to view the lemony chapters. Some people can't access the darned Yahoo files. Grrrrrr... .;; Oh, and don't think I'm rushing their get-together. Their trust isn't wholly repaired just yet. *smirks*)

"I snuck into your tomb to say goodbye. As a tomb robber, I couldn't necessarily attend the ceremony, na?"
Yami chuckled. "And that's when you got sucked into the Ring because of my protection spell."
"Yup. By the way, I never did get you back for that. You sent me to the Shadow Realm when I tried to get my revenge on you."
Ironically enough, their tones were light-hearted. Up until now, that is.
Yami reached up a hand and gently brushed a lock of pale silvery hair out of Bakura's eyes, gazing into them searchingly.
"Yet you still came back...even from the Shadow Realm..." he stated wonderingly. Bakura smiled, and brought his face forward so that their foreheads touched.
"Not even the power of Ra could keep me from you long."
Yami smiled, tears sparking in his eyes, and he leaned forward, delicately melding his mouth to Bakura's. Bakura sighed contentedly against his lips, and moved his hands to Yami's face, cupping his cheeks as he turned the chaste kiss into a fiery, passionate one. It was a kiss of desperate longing, of being separated so long their bodies had forgotten the feel of each other and were dying from the loss of contact, and were now trying to remember each other. Bakura leaned back, wrapping his arms around Yami's waist once more, and they both slid languidly onto the bed, draped over one another. Their mouths didn't once separate.
(There will be a lemon here. Once I am done with it, I will post it up on my group site. I am creating my own website right now, so once that's up, it will be so much easier for you all to view the lemony chapters. Some people can't access the darned Yahoo files. Grrrrrr... .;; Oh, and don't think I'm rushing their get-together. Their trust isn't wholly repaired just yet. *smirks*)
