Kaira-chan: And here is the next chapter of this wonderful fic ^_^
Yami Kaira: She means horrible, really she does people...
Kaira-chan: T-T...
Yami: Uh... Kaira-chan... don't you have something to say...
Kaira-chan: NO!!! *Cries and runs away*
Pharaoh Yami: O_O.... Um... okay... Well, she did have something to say, so now I'm saying it. Kaira-chan doesn't normally advertise her own fics in her own fics, really she doesn't. Hell, she has tons of other Yu-gi-oh fics. But she's currently writing a Remembrance Day fic called "Remembrance" so if you would be kind enough to read it when its up, please do so. It would mean a lot to her....
Yami: and she doesn't own Yu-gi-oh or Super Smash Bros.
Kaira-chan: THANKS FOR MAKING ME FEEL BETTER T-T....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seto now sat on the couch, watching Yami and Mokuba pressing the controllers viciously, growling and slight cursing on Yami's part.
Mario and Marth attacked each other ferociously on screen in an marage of combo's and specials.
Seto looked at the time.
"Mokuba, it's 9:30. It's past your bed time," he said, turning of the video game just as Marth nearly flew off the screen.
"Aww, Nii-sama," Mokuba complained. "I nearly beat Yami!"
"I woulda made a comeback," Yami said proudly.
"In the 30 seconds there was left?" Mokuba answered, raising his eyebrow.
Yami smirked. "I always do."
Mokuba opened his mouth to say something, but Seto beat him to it.
"Yami, quit provoking Mokuba or he'll never go to sleep," Kaiba muttered.
"You're no fun," Yami joked.
Mokuba looked at Yami, then at Seto before nodding. "Yeah."
Seeing the glare Seto had shot him, Yami turned to Mokuba.
"Maybe you should go to sleep though. You have school tomorrow, don't you?"
Mokuba sighed angrily and glared between Yami and Seto, before sighing once again, this time in defeat, and walked to his bedroom.
Yami stood up. "I guess I should go then," he said, somewhat awkwardly. Now that Mokuba was gone, there was only the two rivals, the two enemies, left alone. And since they were in Seto's mansion, Yami knew he was at a distinct disadvantage.
"Didn't I say I had to talk to you about something?" Seto asked coldly.
Yami hesitated a moment, then nodded. "Yeah, but if it's going to take very long, I'm going to have to call Yugi and tell him first. I mean, he's probably already worried about me," Yami said.
Seto pulled his cell phone out of his pocket. "You better call him then. And to be on the safe side, tell him you might not be home tonight. After out conversation, I'm not going to give you a ride home, and I doubt you'll want to walk back."
Yami nearly jumped at the proposal. What was Seto trying to do?
All the same, he called Yugi.
After much assuring Yuugi that he was okay, and Seto wasn't going to kill him, he hung up and handed the phone back to Seto.
"What do you want to talk about?" Yami asked.
"Sit," Seto commanded.
"No," Yami answered. He wasn't going to sit. Although he didn't realize it himself, he didn't want to give up the dominance he was holding while he stood, his head taller then Seto's.
"Sit," Seto said again, harsher. When Yami made no move to do any such thing, he stood up, making himself taller then Yami.
"We can play it like this too if you want," Seto said, walking close to Yami to make him look up, "now sit down."
Yami complied reluctantly, Seto doing the same.
"You're entering the contest, right?" Seto asked.
Yami nodded. "Yeah, I'm already planning for it."
"That's good," Seto asked. "You'll have a exemption."
Yami looked at him. "A what?" He asked.
"An exemption. Basically, you won't have to duel anyone until the semi-semi-finals," Seto said.
"What about you? Are you getting this exemption thing too?" Yami asked, suspicion rising.
"No, what kind of host would I be if I gave myself one. You are the only person with this advantage."
"Well then, thank you Kaiba."
There was a short pause.
"Is the mutt going to be entering also?" Seto asked Yami suddenly.
"I suppose, I haven't really talked to him as of late," Yami said, "though I don't see why he wouldn't. Why do you ask?"
Seto shrugged. "Just wondering. I mean, he's the only one of your friends who can duel worth anything, and I'd like to know who was entering ahead of time."
Yami nodded, understanding. "Can I go now? Really Kaiba, that didn't take as long as I thought it would.
"No," Seto answered quickly, before Yami could make any move to stand up.
There was an awkward pause. Before Yami cleared his throat impatiently.
Seto sighed, and leaned down. "Have you ever been in love, Yami?" he asked suddenly.
Yami resisted the urge to grab Seto's face and rip off the mask.
"Who are you?" He asked instead.
"I'm Kaiba, who else would I be?"
"Since when is Kaiba interested in matters of his icy heart?" Yami asked.
Seto turned away. "I knew this was a bad idea," he muttered, almost to quiet to be audible to Yami.
Yami turned the opposite direction. "Yes," he said quietly, and Seto looked at him.
"Who?" Seto asked, slightly surprised that this spirit could love anyone. He showed scarcely more emotion the Seto himself. Except when he was taunting someone, or getting angry. The only difference was that he had friends that he had took the responsibility upon himself to protect.
Really, Seto and Yami weren't all that different. Yami would give up anything for his friends, including love, just like Seto would do the same for Mokuba.
"You wouldn't know him. It was a long time ago," Yami muttered, not noticing the word that he had just slipped.
"Him??" Seto asked, for once in his life the shock registering on his face.
Yami sat up with a start. "Did I say him? I meant her," Yami said quickly, though he knew it wouldn't do much. Seto was too smart to fall for something like that.
"Is there anyone you love right now?" Seto asked, letting the subject drop. Yami blinked. Maybe he did believe the whole her story. He would've thought, after all, that the CEO would be against gays.
"I - no - yeah - I don't know," Yami said, running his hand through his hair.
Seto laughed briefly. "And here I thought the day I saw you indecisive was the day I would die."
Yami glared at him. "Why are you asking me these questions, Kaiba?" Yami asked.
Seto blinked. "Well, there's sort of someone who I like myself..." Seto mused. "Well, maybe like is too strong a word, but... I don't know. I'm suppose to hate this person."
Yami smiled softly. "Do I know them?" he asked.
"Erm..." There was a pause. "Yeah."
This perked Yami's interest. "You wanna tell me who it is?" He asked.
"Only if you tell me who you like," Seto answered back, and both he and Yami were reminded of grade 7 girls, giggling and laughing as they talked about boys.
Both fell silent, Yami staring off at the ceiling, while Seto glared off at the wall.
"I asked first," Yami said, and again they were reminded of the grade 7 girls.
Seto muttered something under his breath, but the only indication to Yami that he was speaking was the slight hiss of air, and Seto's lips moving.
"It starts with an O, and ends with an eee," Yami deducted aloud, wishing that he had paid more attention when his old Egyptian teachers were teaching him to read lips. He really hadn't thought it was important at the time.
Seto glared at him. "JONOUCHI!!" He screamed, and the cry echoed off of the high ceiling
Yami blinked. Obviously he was wrong when he thought the CEO was against gays.
After all, if he was, he'd be one of the biggest hypocrites ever.

Sarcastic Pessimist:
Yep ^_^ You just found out! Yeah, usually my stories write themselves . I'm definitely not of planning quality. Every now and then however, I do plan out the very ending, but that doesn't really help with the stuff in between... but for the most part, I'm the same way.
rox:
Yay ^_^ lol, I agree. Now if only they could have that in the manga .
Hersheyheaven:
Yay ^_^ I'm glad you thought so.
shadow_demon18b:
I hope this was soon enough.
Misura:
No worries ^_^ this will end up SJ and YYY. ^_^;; hehehe, as you just saw. Yes, I am making Yami's intelligence slightly lower then normal . Lol, I hate it when that happens =P Lol ^_^ I'm glad you thought so ^-^ hehehe. *blinks* I'm suddenly tempted to make a short SY/YS scene... and I don't know why because I don't agree with the pairing ((The fact that in Ancient Egypt they were cousins doesn't exactly help either O_o..)) O_o... damn you and you're review **Looks at above chapter** damn yaoi and Seto's mansion being far from Yami's house . lol
Yugi-obsessed:
