(Scene: Yugi is lying on his bed, crying into his pillow. Yami has just come into the room.)

"Yugi? What's wrong, hikari? Why are you crying?"

"… It's nothing…"

"I can tell when you lie to me. Is it bullies?"

"Nani? You think they could hurt me this much?"

"Well, is it Anzu? Jou? Honda?"

"You have no idea, do you? You just… you… you…"

"I what? Please, aibou –"

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!"

"… Yugi…"

"Don't call me that ever again! I don't want to be your partner any more, Yami."

"But, Yugi… We are soulmates…"

"SHUT UP!"

"… What is wrong, Yugi?… Yugi?… Please, answer me."

"… You should already know, Yami."

"… I don't."

"You rejected me! We kissed, and you left me, and now you keep saying I'm your soulmate!?"

"Anno –"

"Yami – if we're soulmates, why don't you love me? If we're partners, why don't you care?"

"But – I don't, you can't – I'm your darkness!"

"… I know."

"No, you don't! Yugi, you have no idea how hard it was for me to stay away…"

"So why did you?"

"BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO TAINT YOU!"

"You… don't want to taint me?"

"… Was that a giggle?"

"Yami, you baka. How could love taint me?"

"…"

"Well, mighty pharaoh?"

"… I've been a fool, haven't I?"

"Oh, yes. And you'd better make it up to me, Yami…"

"Willingly, my koi. Ai shiteru…"

"Ai shiteru, Yami. Baka!"

[Blinks] Weird. No idea where this came from, to be honest. It's just as well that Yugi has a forgiving nature when he learns why Yami broke off the kiss, ne? I think I just finished this set. If I ruined it with this, please let me know. Without flaming. Thanks!
