"You would follow me, instead of your friends." Seto made what could, or should have been, a question, a fact. This stunned him. He had thought Yami saw him only as a rival. Never a companion, no matter how many times Yami had tried to team up with him. Yami catches this.
"Seto, when I said I would follow you, I meant it. And I didn't always see you as a rival. I saw you as a friend. A stubborn, thick skulled friend. A friend who never thought anyone could get through to him, in one way nor any other. That's how I saw you." Yami sighs when Kaiba gives him the look that says, "You liar. You never saw me that way." He takes a step forward, saying, "Seto Kaiba, when I told you aishiteru, I didn't say that for you to continue. I said that so you would know the truth." Yami places emphasis on the last two words.
"Yami!" Both turn to face Anzu, pushing her way through the bushes. " You are a traitor! How could you?! How? Answer me Yami!" Yami holds his tongue. Anzu jabs a finger in Seto's direction. "And you, Seto Kaiba! You're nothing but a low life of a duelist. What gives you the right to play with Yami?"
"I'm not playing with anyone." He slowly wraps his jacket around himself. Glancing at Yami, he begins to turn and walk off, but he stops short of disappearing in the shrubs. "Yami, this is where you decide. Stay here, be with your friends and be my rival. Or, go with me. Choose now."
Jonouchi and Hlroto fall through the bushes behind Anzu. "Yo, Anzu! Where ya been?"
"It's right or left. Fire or water." Anzu tells him. "And it's your move." Yami's gaze moves back and fourth, between his old friends, and Kaiba, and expression of complete confusion and fear.
"I," He begins. "I'm sorry. I have to follow Kaiba. Goodbye." With that, Kaiba's deep set frown goes to a smug grin. Yami nods goodbye to his old friends, and goes after Kaiba.
Anzu's knees begin to tremble, her hands jerk slightly. Without warning, she falls to the ground, weeping. "Yami, how? I thought you would always be there."

It had been a week since Yami's decision. All was, as he had planned? No, they weren't, but he couldn't ask for more than Kaiba was willing and ready to give. Yami had gave all he knew to give, all he could give. But, yet, there in his heart a shadow of a doubt grew. Was his decision the right one? Would he live to regret this? He had no doubt that his love for Kaiba was pure and genuine, but how did he know Seto Kaiba loved him back.
Reluctantly, he decides to ask.
"Seto." Kaiba turns to Yami, his face as expressionless as Yami had remembered it to be. "Did you want me to choose my friends, instead of you?"
"What?" Kaiba's voice fills with dread. Yami can feel Kaiba's heartbeat radiate through his hand, and to his own.
"No. I shouldn't have asked." Yami smiles. He begins to walk away, but Kaiba stops him. Spinning him around, he grabs Yami's waist and brings him closer, kissing him full on the lips.
"Aishiteru, Yami. I.." Busying Seto's mouth, Yami's tongue explores, running from Kaiba's lips to his jawbone, tracing a line down his neck, pulling his shirt over his shoulders. While Yami is claiming what is willingly gave to him, Seto Kaiba is stripping his lover of the restricting clothes. Leaving his Puzzle beside him.

Anzu wipes her eyes. She missed Yugi. If Yami had left, and let Yugi stay, all would have been right. Or would it? Would Yugi have wanted to go with Kaiba, and left too? She had begun to wonder, but it wasn't her place to ask.
But her heart wanted to hear him softly snoring beside her. She wanted him back.
Fushigi- HI!! Okay, once again, another update. But then, I don't do this very often. Anyway, I decided to say that if you ppl don't start reviewing my other work, or I get bad reviews for most of them, then I'll take them off. Just a small warning before hand.
