disclaimers: I do not own Yugioh, as much as I wish I did.

THIS IS YAOI! Don't like, then for the love of whatever god you believe in , leave!

You know, I haven't done a Yami/Yugi fic yet. I decided that today would be the day I would start one. ^_^

Yami B: Joy *sarcasm*

Ak: Your just pissed because your not playing an important role.

Yami Y: Thats right, tomb robber! I'm the main one!

Yugi: Me too!

Ak: Right.

MASKED

Yami watched his hikari from the bed, the small teenager was studying. A very tiny smile graced the former pharoah's lips. It was rare he would ever get the chance to just...admire Yugi's innocent features. Yami chuckled. Yugi could be a little hentai when he was hyper. Yami was forced to quell his desire and love for the boy when it happened however. Yami would return to his soul room and wait for Yugi to settle down. Yami was tired, tired of having to hide the intense love he felt for Yugi. There was just no way that Yugi felt the same.

Yugi was startled to meet Yami's eyes as he glanced up from his work. The other quickly adverted his attention to elsewhere. Yami crossed the room to the bay window and leaned against the sill, eyes shutting as he opened the glass. Yugi just watched, mesmerized by his yami. The tall teen stared at the distant moon, the stars twinkling. "Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you had never met me? The whole mess with Pegasus and your grandfather, it would never have happened. Yugi, I've come to terms with what I must do. I'm going back home."

Yugi gasped, stared at Yami. "Home?! You mean Egypt?!" Yugi went to stand beside Yami.

"Yes. I do not belong here Yugi." Yami refused to look at Yugi. 'I cant be here with you because...I'd be hurt too much, knowing that you could never be mine.'

"Why not?!" Yugi braced himself against the wall, scared he was going to faint. 'Leaving me. Oh no. "Yami! Is it because of me? Did I do something wrong?!"

Yami sighed. "Yugi..it was my fault. Don't concern yourself. Get some sleep Yugi."

"But Yami...when are you leaving?"

"A few days. I have to wait for the full moon and then I can use the powers of my Sennen Puzzle to send me home."

"The past, when you were pharoah?"

"Yes."

"Yami...do you have to leave me?"

'Ra, that voice makes me think he actually cares. I can't be here. I have to go home. I love him but by being here, and knowing he will never be mine, I can't take it.' Yami turned towards Yugi. "I'm sorry Yugi."

"I understand." The phone rang downstairs. Yugi, with one last wistful look at Yami, desended the stairs. Grabbing the phone, he said in somewhat subdued tones, "Moshi Moshi?"

"Hey Yug! You dont sound so good. Whats up?"

"......its nothing Joey."

"Come on Yug. What is it?"

"Yami's going back to Egypt in a two days."

"What?"

"He told me he had to leave and with the powers of the full moon he's going to return to the past."

"Damn Yugi. Are you alright? Do you want me to come over and beat some sense into Yami?"

"No..its okay Joey but...but I'd like it if you would come over."

"Sure Yug. I'll be there in ten minutes."

Joey stared at the phone for a several seconds before setting in its holder. He turned to Ryou, Mai, Honda, and Tea. "Yami's leaving back to Egypt."

"Oh no. Poor Yugi," Tea sighed. "What do we do Joey? When's he leaving?"

"Halloween night."

Mai lept from her seat. "There still is a chance. We have to move our plans into full motion. Over these next three days, we have to throw the two of them together and if by the party their not together, our plan B comes into effect."

"Good idea Mai. Now, what do we do tomorrow for the two?"

"I was thinking....how about we set up a date?"

"A date?"

"Yeah! But we'll say that me and Tea are going instead of them. How's that sound? And when they get to the restraunt, they'll be alone!"

"Mai, your a genius." Honda smiled, hugging the blonde.

"I know."
