*+*+*+*+*+*+*

Yami chased Yuugi up the stairs, and to his room. Unsurprisingly, it was locked. Yami can hear Yuugi's cries and sniffs through the door, and an item being thrown to the ground. Guessing it was the puzzle, Yami retreated into it and reappeared right in front of Yuugi's eyes. He was sitting on the edge of his bed, sniffing and snuffling into a piece of tissue. "Aibou, what's wrong?"

Yuugi just stared at him, the wide amethyst orbs with sorrow and sadness. Yami sighed and sat down beside him. Putting his comforting hand on Yuugi's shoulder, Yami questioned him again. "Aibou, you can trust me. Tell me, what's wrong?"

Yuugi narrowed his eyes at Yami, before flicking Yami's hand off his shoulder. "You know perfectly what is wrong yourself." Yuugi whimpered through his tears, not getting his voice straight. He lifted himself up and sat farer away from Yami, who stared at him confusingly.

Yami opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Yuugi cut him off. "You tell me to trust you. How could I? You aren't even honest to me. You tell me, how can I trust someone who only tell lies and keep secrets from me?"

Yami shook his head, eyeing his hikari in a sensitive sort of way. "I did not. Never, did I lie to you. Nor did I ever keep any secrets from you."

He stood up, and picked the sennen puzzle up. After examining it, Yami knelt in front of Yuugi and hung the chain back on his hikari's neck. Yuugi looked into Yami's crimson eyes, which held a blank expression with sympathy and compassion for him. Seeing this, Yuugi could almost forget everything Anzu had said. He wiped his tears with his sleeve, and smiled down at Yami. Sure, he knew Yami's dirty secrets, but maybe... Anzu was wrong?

Yami smiled back at him, proud of his own success of consoling Yuugi. Yami stood up, and sat down beside the boy, patting his head. "Now, what made you say I lied to you?"

Yuugi looked up and gulped, unable to answer. How could he tell Yami that Anzu told him the truth about Yami? He looked nervously at Yami, who smiled softly at him and continued. "Is it something with Anzu?"

Yuugi's eyes widened and he gave a sudden shudder, and quickly moved away Yami, eyeing him with wide eyes. Yami stood up. "Yuugi?" Yuugi scrambled too the back to the room, he gulped as his eyes watered. It was true, Anzu was right. And when Yami comforted him, it was just a necessary act to make him tell Yami about what Anzu said. Yami didn't reassure him because he was sympathetic for him, he had done it just to find out about what Anzu said and maybe…it was only out of pity. Yuugi bit his lip and as Yami approached him, he pushed him away.

Yami relaxed and let himself be pushed out of Yuugi's room, and the door slammed in his face. Yami shook his head sadly. Yami understood; another one of Anzu's tricks and traps. And Yuugi was entangled in it.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*

"You. Stop right there." A toneless voice, so cold and cruel, stopped Anzu in her tracks. Anzu wheeled around. Oh, joy. It's Yami. Coming to question her on what she did. Or, what Yuugi did. She smirked as Yami stopped in front of her. Anzu reached up and slid her hand down Yami's face. "Hi, honey!" She greeted.

Yami slapped her. Right across the face, as hard as he could. (A/N: YAY! ^^ Go Yami!) Yami had an oath never to hit girls, but like Anzu was a girl. She's a monster, not a girl. Anzu glared wide-eyed at Yami, her hand clutching her cheek, with was started to bruise. Then, after a few seconds, she let out a long, cruel laugh. So loud and irritable, that it caused even Yami to shiver a little in disgust.

Anzu let out another laugh; her head fell back as she demonstrated her insanity. Yami found his chance to push her, and Anzu's laugh turned into a scream as she fell back, butt first, onto the grass. 'Lucky for her that it's only grass,' Yami thought. 'She deserve to fall onto cement.'

Anzu looked up, and laughed yet again, this time low and wicked. Yami rolled his eyes. "Will you SHUT UP?" He spat, his voice containing pure venom.

Anzu smirked. "So, even great Yami ain't a chance against me, eh?" Yami looked down at the pile of dirt, which was, in his point point of view, Anzu; and smirked back.

"Your tricks may enchant Yuugi into your idiotic traps," He barked, eyes shining with some sort of unshielded power. "But I will never fall into them and I can also prevent Yuugi from doing so any longer as well."

Anzu stood up, brushing dirt away from her skirt. "You speak in gibberish, honey," She blinked her eyes affectionately, which, fortunately (A/N: Yes, it's fortunately! ^^), made no effect to Yami. "But I can assure you that if you don't give me what I want, Yuugi will never be yours."

Yami blinked disgustedly at the girl. "What is it that you want?"

"You." Anzu announced at once, almost proudly. "You. I want nothing, but you." She paced around him, and continued her speech. "You are the object of my desire, while Yuugi is... the object of my amusement."

Yami rolled his eyes and tripped her as she turned around him, which successfully made Anzu fall, this time face first, onto the grass again. (A/N: YES! *claps* Go, go, go, Yami!!!) Yami smirked at her. "You will never have me, so keep your wishes and prayers. And as for Yuugi, he will no longer be your amusement, because I would not allow that to happen any longer."

Yami walked away, hoping that Anzu learned her lesson. She had earned a slap, a trip and a push. It was light punishment, and she deserved more. But Yami was easy to forgive.

Anzu suddenly stood up, and shouted at Yami. "Thank you, Yami. Thank you. The things you did to me today, will pay off on Yuugi… which affects you too. Be prepared!" She let out a laugh, as Yami wheeled around.

"What?" Yami asked. "You are planning to get revenge by affecting me with Yuugi again?"

Anzu didn't answer. She smirked and walked away, he skirt stuck with grass and mud, while her hair was covered in dirt, and her face was scarlet with an evident handprint.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*

Yami came home casually, and as Yuugi saw him, he gave him a cold shoulder and walked off. Yami seized Yuugi's hand. "Hikari, listen to me."

Yuugi shivered a little, trying to free himself of Yami's grasp. But his grip was steady and tight, though not enough to hurt him, but enough to hold him tight. After bits of struggle that were no use, Yuugi surrendered and relaxed under Yami's hold. He, though, remained silent and kept his head down, avoiding Yami's eyes, which could be alluring and hypnotic.

Yami smiled slightly when Yuugi stopped his fidgeting, and he let go of Yuugi's wrist. Yuugi stared up at Yami, who enabled him to flee if he wants to, surprised at his actions. Yami smiled again and continued his speech.

"Aibou, whatever it is that is bothering you about me," Yami hesitated slightly, barely concealing the hint of melancholy in his tone. "Remember one thing. I am your yami, and I always will be. No matter what intrigues me not to, I will never neglect my duty to be your yami. To comfort you, advice you, guide you, support you, and most of all; help you. I will never, ever, do anything that would disapprove of my promises as a Yami to you, and just you."

Yuugi's eyes watered, as his yami's affectional words sunk into his head. Just in that moment, Anzu's words were erased from Yuugi's mind. Yami's words were more truthful, more touching and deep.

Yuugi nodded, as he explained to Yami all the things Anzu had said. His tears ran out uncontrollably as he spoke, his tone apologetic and flustered. After he stopped speaking, the two shared a long silence, which was broken suddenly by Yami sighing.

Yuugi looked up sadly, expecting Yami to be angry with him. But on the contrary, Yami smiled and nodded before patting his head. Yugi gulped, and apologized quickly. "Sor-Sorry, Yami..."

Yami shook his head. "Did you really believe Anzu, Yugi?"

Yuugi nodded embarrassingly, but Yami just smiled slightly and completely changed the topic. "Well, I think we should go get some ice-cream, the weather's horribly hot. What do you think, hikari?"

Yuugi stared in astonishment, before nodding. "But... what about Anzu...?"

Yami just smiled and looked away as he lead his hikari out the door. "I'll leave you to decide if Anzu's words are true."

With that, Yami left Yuugi standing in front of his door in a confusing way. Yami was a few meters ahead of Yuugi when he turned around and grinned. "Well, aren't you coming??"

Yuugi snapped away from his bewilderment and ran to his yami. Yami smiled and held Yuugi's hand contently as they walked in silence to the ice-cream bar.

Yuugi looked up at Yami the whole way, staring up at the handsome yami. Yuugi suddenly felt ashamed to trust a simple girl, rather than his yami. Yes, his yami. Yami had let him to decide whom to trust... Sigh, his yami was so good. Yuugi shook his head, and flushed when he realized his hand was held tightly by Yami. Yuugi couldn't help but smile, his horrible thoughts about Yami from Anzu disappeared.

Unknown to Yuugi, Yami had felt Yuugi's stare at him as they walked. A smile graced the pharaoh's lips.

*+*+*+*+*+*+*
