Disclaimer: No matter how much I would like to, I do not own YGO or any of its characters. However, I do own the plot associated with the use of the YGO setting and characters as well as any original characters that happen to appear in this fic. O.o That's all…

Pairings: Yugi/Yami Bakura

Notes: O.o I feel like writing something angsty so why not update this while I'm at it? ^_^ I'm so~ thankful to all the reviewers of the first chapter! I'll respond to them in the next chapter most likely so if you have any questions, review~! Also, I'm taking you guys' advice and using past tense as opposed to my normal present tense. I've been practicing some and find that it's easier to just write it in past tense. Furthermore, I wish to make the chapters longer so…lets see what I can do with this one. If you think that things are progressing too quickly and would like more detail into what's going on, then tell me and I'll be glad to make some changes. I'll be happy to make this fic more enjoyable for my audience. Happy reading~!

     Sorry though I am to be

missing you, you have become

     my meditation. I take into my

being all that I see and hear,

     soothing my senses, quieting

my heart; and through there

     be neither host nor guest,

have we not reasoned

     a visit complete?

Chapter 2: Jealousy Isn't Part Of The Game

Yugi stretched and awoke to a new school day. 'Goodness…Bakura knows how to wear a guy out…' At this thought he blushed brightly, embarrassed, and hopped out of his bed.

"Yugi! Come eat breakfast!"

Wincing at the pain in his bruised wrists, Yugi sighed and quickly began dressing for school which would start in about an hour. "I'm coming!" As he reached the bottom of the stairs leading to the kitchen and living room, his yami smiled at him all the while nodding a good morning in his direction. Yugi huffed and sat down to eat, ignoring the greeting. Sugoroku shook his head, noticing that Yugi was growing further apart from his yami, but made no comment on it.

Yami cleared his throat, breaking the uncomfortable silence. "Anzu and I broke up last night…"

Yugi's ears perked up in surprise.

Their grandfather raised an interested eyebrow. "Really? Why so?"

The former pharaoh shook his head and sighed, "Turns out her and Duke were meeting each other quite frequently. Of all people! Duke Devilin! Why couldn't it be someone like Shadi or Ryou? Even Bakura!" Yugi flinched slightly, hearing his lover's name, but thankfully nobody really noticed. "Scratch that…Bakura's not an option. I swear, I wouldn't trust that bastard for all the riches in Egypt! Getting back on the subject; how could she do this!?"

"Really? Anzu was doing such a thing behind your back? I'm surprised! She's changed so much these past few months…" Sugoroku shook his head and finished his meal, the information still circulating in his mind. "Well, I gotta get going to the museum. Professor Yoshimori (Yu-Gi-Oh manga; can be found in Viz's Shônen Jump.) is in need of assistance for his new exhibit. You two have a good day." With that, he got up and left the two boys in the kitchen.

Yugi quietly picked at his food, not really having much to say. This was awkward. If only they'd broken up earlier for some other reason, then things would be much better, not to mention easier. If it was only like that then he and Bakura, of all people, wouldn't be going at it like rabbits and could have had Anzu for himself.

Pushing his food away, Yami sighed. "Look Aibou, I'm really sorry about constantly abandoning you for Anzu these past few months. I was just a pawn in her game and I never realized I was doing this until recently."

The smaller boy snorted. "Is it that hard to realize that I felt isolated all this time?! I mean, you even ditched my birthday for her! What kind of shit was that?!"

Yami stared at the boy stunned for a moment before bowing his head. "I'm really sorry about everything. I'm sorry that I dated her even knowing you were in love with her. I'm sorry about everything!"

Yugi suppressed a sob and wiped at his tears. "Sorry doesn't cut much Yami! I was hurt by you and everyone else all this time! You all left me alone!"

"Wha…what about Ryou? Don't you study at his house frequently?"

Yugi smiled bitterly at his yami's statement. "What the fuck does studying have to do with my social life? I mean, seriously, looking at notes and reading text books? What kind of interaction is that? You just don't understand!"

Yami sighed and stood up, walking over towards his light. This wasn't supposed to be like this; a yami and his light were supposed to stick together no matter what and he'd broken that unwritten rule. Now feeling sorry wasn't helping much. He slowly hugged the smaller boy and sighed yet again. "I mean it Aibou…please, forgive me?"

Yugi cried into his yami's shoulder and nodded, silently cursing himself for being so weak at that moment. Yami smiled and wiped the warm tears off of Yugi's face. "Thank you…now, go get cleaned up. We have to leave in five minutes."

Yugi smiled happily and dashed up the stairs to the bathroom.

~*~

Yugi entered the classroom with his yami smiling cheekily, raising some confused eyebrows from his classmates. They hadn't seen the small teen so happy since forever; and now he was marching in the class happy as a newborn pup. Bakura spotted the happy boy and frowned wondering what he was so happy about. Spotting Bakura's frown, Yugi frowned himself. 'What's wrong with him?'

Noticing Yugi distracted, Yami waved his hands in front of his light's face. "Ne, Yugi? Were you listening?"

Yugi tore his gaze away from Bakura's and smiled. "Yah. Sorry, I was just thinking about something."

The (much) older boy smiled back, understanding. "How about we go to eat today? My treat. I really want to apologize for everything…"

The pharaoh's light then realizes something and his smile turned upside down. "Oh…I'm sorry, I got something planned today."

"Oh. Well, how about we sit together at lunch, just you and I, under that big tree in the courtyard?"

Yugi smiled again and nodded in agreement, "Sure! I always eat alone there anyway."

Yami then felt guilty again and responded with a wavy smile.

The teacher entered in the class and everyone returned to their seats, Bakura still gazing at Yugi.

~*~

Bakura frowned as he awaited Yugi in his room, Ryou having gone somewhere with Malik again, thinking about the recent events in school. The boy had suddenly turned happy again today and that might affect his 'loyalty' to himself. He growled thinking about a certain former pharaoh Yugi had spent the entire day with and threw a random thing (which had happened to have been his favorite crystal ball) at the door, just as Yugi poked his head in.

"Hey! What're you trying to do; kill me?"

Bakura snorted angrily. "I just might."

Yugi stepped in the room smiling. "You wouldn't believe what happened today!"

The former tomb robber feigned thinking, waiting a few seconds before sarcastically answering, "Um…that damn pharaoh and you made up?"

Yugi nodded slowly. "Un (^^; You know…that sound they make in anime when they agree to something)…"

Getting up off the bed, Bakura growled, "You think I should be happy for you? I could care less what goes on in your social life!" He circled Yugi and placed a soft kiss on the boy's neck. "As long as it doesn't affect what we do in our free time…" Yugi moaned as Bakura planted a soft, alluring kiss on his lips. "You got that?"

The (much) smaller boy nodded lightly, trying to lean more into the kiss.

Bakura moved back and gave his 'toy' a frightening smirk. "Oh no, Yugi. Don't think I'm not angry at you for coming to me bragging about some boy who happens to be my worse enemy. You seem to be a little mixed up. This evening, I want you to remember just who you belong to. I want you to remember that you, and every part of your being, are mine."

The angry, villainous boy roughly grabbed Yugi, practically throwing him on the bed, bending over him afterwards. Knowing what was going to happen as Bakura flipped him over, Yugi kept quite, his labored breathing muffled by a pillow.

It wasn't gonna be pretty.

~*~ Warning: A Teensy Bit Lemony~*~

Bakura groaned into the crook of Yugi's neck as he finished, the small boy crying out as well, but more in pain than pleasure. He rolled off and wrapped his arms around a sobbing Yugi. "Shhh…I just wanted you to know."

He frowned at himself for being this way, at going completely against a rule he'd made up long ago. Jealousy wasn't part of the game, but for some reason Yugi being so ecstatic about being with his most hated foe made him so angry that he couldn't help it. The anger had pretty much blinded him. Yet, even after practically raping Yugi, he didn't know how to say sorry. It just wasn't in his vocabulary.

Yugi turned his body so that he was facing Bakura. "I'm sorry…I'll never do it again. I'm so sorry…"

He continued to sob, blaming himself for what had happened even when it wasn't really his fault. Bakura dipped his head down, kissing Yugi's swollen, blood tainted lips. Blood…oh how he loved that taste. Yugi leaned into the irresistible kiss, wrapping his small arms around Bakura's neck, moaning in the pleasure of the kiss and also at the pain of his wounds. He had figured something out. No matter what Bakura did, he couldn't resist him. It wasn't a matter of willpower, but of how much he was now attached to him.

Bakura licked at the dried blood on Yugi's lips, hands slowly reaching down to cup his soft butt. Yugi yelped and winced. It was still sore down there. Bakura's light caressing of his sore end slowly eased the pain and he sighed, kissing the dominant boy again. Bakura paused his caressing as one of his hands travel to Yugi's pretty much abandoned member, stroking it painfully slow.

Forgetting about all of his pain and problems, Yugi mewled, leaning into Bakura's hand. "Nnn…Bakura…"

Bakura smirked. He loved it when Yugi called out his name; whether it was in pain or pleasure, it was still terribly arousing. But for now, this would pose as an unspoken apology to his partner. Bakura maneuvered Yugi whereas he was lying on his back and trailed his slick tongue down his neck.

He nibbled on Yugi's hardened pink nubs, causing a shiver of pleasure to run through the small teen as he gasped out Bakura's name. Bakura grinned, biting down on one, loving Yugi's surprised yelp afterwards. Moving away from the nipples, his hand continued its way down to its actual destination. On the way he nibbled and kissed practically all of Yugi's lower body, holding him down to prevent his impatient squirming. Finally, his lips reached his destination and he kissed at the small boy's hardened member, getting moans of relieved impatience from him.

Yugi couldn't believe it. It seemed as if Bakura was doing this to apologize to him for being so rough. If he was, then Yugi loved this apology. In the weeks they had spent together, Bakura had never done anything like this to pleasure him. Yugi gasped as Bakura's mouth completely covered his penis, completely blanking out any other thoughts. "Oh Ra…Bakura!"

Bakura grinned, penetrating Yugi's entry with a finger from his free hand. Yugi gasped out something incoherent and wiggled around on the finger. Bakura chuckled. "What's that Yugi-chan? You want more?" He added another finger, thrusting both in and out, as he continued his ministrations on Yugi's member. Yugi moaned and clenched onto the sheets, releasing into Bakura's mouth. He took the time to observe the scene and blushes brightly seeing Bakura lick up his semen. "Nee, Yugi did you ever think of how delicious you taste?" He smirked at the panting boy on his bed and moved up, removing his probing fingers and lying next to Yugi.

Yugi smiled softly and snuggled against Bakura. "Nee…Bakura…?"

Bakura stared at him, awaiting the upcoming question. "Hm?"

Staring back, Yugi's smile broadened and he placed a soft kiss at Bakura's cheek. "Gomen ne…about earlier…"

He was cut off by a short kiss from Bakura. "Shhh…" Bakura adjusted his position, fidgeting as if he were…nervous (?)…before smirking, clearing his through embarrassedly. "Ahem…it wasn't your fault…"

Yugi's brow creased, having not completely heard what Bakura had whispered. "Eh? I didn't hear you."

Bakura broke eye contact and peered around the room. "I said…itwasn'tyourfault." Before Yugi could ask him to repeat it again, he hopped up and off the bed, turning his back on the confused boy. "I said it wasn't your fault! Geez, where'd you get your brain from; the pharaoh?"

The apology coming from Bakura of all people caught Yugi by surprise and he could only stare at his lover, dumbfounded. Finally, he grinned and jumped out of the bed to hug Bakura, apparently catching him by surprise. "Bakura…" Yugi wiped the unshed tears from his eyes and, still tearfully, smiled at Bakura. "Apology accepted…baka…"

Still surprised, the former tomb robber awkwardly returned the embrace, silently wondering how the small boy had such a large effect on him.

~*~

Yugi entered his home after leaving Bakura's place at around 8 o'clock. They'd gone through another 'session' before he'd decided that Yami and his grandfather would be worried about him returning later than usual. Bakura had reluctantly let him leave, setting a date and time for their next meeting all the while giving Yugi the surprise of his life by actually smiling. It was a light one and had disappeared as quick as it had appeared, but it was a smile nonetheless.

Yugi slipped of his sneakers and slid on his slippers, tip-toeing around the living room and attempting to do the same up the stairs…that is, until he was scared out of his slippers by a familiar deep voice.

"Where've you been?"

Yugi turned around to face a stern-faced Yami standing in the kitchen entrance. "Anou…I went to the park…and stuff."

Yami frowned. "I checked the park and Jii-chan said that he didn't know where you were either. He said that you're usually at Ryou's house studying, but when I called there nobody picked up."

Yugi's eyebrows creased as he huffed. "I was only out for a little while, Yami. There's nothing to worry about."

"And your Puzzle?"

The small boy frowned back at his yami, quickly thinking up a lie. "I took it off for a while. It was getting just a little heavy ya know." He almost cringed at being able to tell a bold-faced lie to Yami, but quickly countered telling himself that it was necessary.

The former pharaoh sighed and shook his head, ready to drop the subject. "When you're ready to tell me the truth then do so. I'm not even going to bother myself being worried about you if you're just going to sit here and lie to me straight to my face. Oyasumi." With that, he strode past Yugi up the stairs, without even throwing another glance his way.

Yugi winced at the cold tone Yami had given him and sighed, trying to talk to his yami through their mind link. /Yami...?/ He waited a moment, his mind only to be met by silence. Great. They'd just made up and now he'd gone and gotten yami angry at him. Even so…he didn't think Yami would be too happy if he'd told him the truth. He'd just be furious. None of his friends actually trusted Bakura with the exception of Ryou whom he lived with and knew him better than anyone. Even saying that, it didn't seem like Ryou was in the least bit comfortable in the presence of his yami.

Shaking his head, Yugi slowly trotted up the stairs, only stopping to take a brief glance at Yami's room before continuing on to his own room. He sighed and took out a change of clothes, making his way to his personal bathroom and adjusting the shower taps. Yugi removed his clothing and took a look at his bruised body in the mirror. He still couldn't understand how he'd come to be so attached to someone who'd planted so many scars and bruises upon his pale skin; someone who'd forcefully taken his innocence; someone who probably didn't give a damn about him.

Deciding to ignore the rest of the questions flowing through his head, Yugi steps into the mildly hot shower and sighs, inhaling the hot air afterwards. Some questions were probably not meant to be pondered over.

~*~ (I would end it here but I'm trying to write more and more every time so I'll feel comfortable with writing a lot a once so…here's some more) ~*~

Yami sighed as he heard the shower running in the room next to his. Yugi's room. This was just great. He'd just made up with his Aibou only to be arguing with him again by the end of the day. Even so, he believed he had every right to question Yugi on his unknown whereabouts. Earlier that day he was actually extremely worried about what had been going on with his light. He could've at least given him a call! Not to mention when he called everyone else none of them had the slightest clue as to where Yugi was, having not seen him since school.

There was most definitely something going on that Yugi obviously didn't want him or anyone else to know about. But what could it be that had his light so worried as to what they'd say about it…?

The former pharaoh spent several more hours pondering this, not even noticing the sound of rushing water from the shower fade away as Yugi had gotten out the shower, before changing his clothes and retiring to sleep.

-.- I can't go anymore…gomen ne. Oh well! At least this chapter had about a thousand more words than the other, ne? ^_^  I actually like how this chapter turned out even if it still has room for improvement. Tell me what ya think!
