To Tame a White Dragon's Heart
/Yugi to Yami/ //Yami to Yugi//
(Ryou to Bakura) ((Bakura to Ryou))
One sunny summer afternoon at the Turtle Game Shop, Yugi was minding the store, since his grandfather was doing a few errands. Some of which involved filling in complicated paperwork and deciding how much products he ordered from which stores. Ordering can be such a pain, but he needed to get it done, in any case.
/Yami?/ The small teen was looking at a flyer he had found.
//Yes Aibou?// Yami looked up from where he was sitting behind the cash register, which took him forever to learn how to operate.
The small teen beamed with a huge grin. "It's an Anime Card Convention. They have all kinds of special and rare cards." Yugi waved the flyer about.
Yami's eyes followed the paper as his koi waved it around. He raised a brow at the thought of special and rare cards. "When and where is this 'Anime Card Convention?'" If he could buy some duel monster cards, then he can improve their deck. Hopefully, they had enough cash.
"In a month." Yugi's smile dropped though. "It's in the US."
"So much for improving our deck," Yami sighed as he leaned on the counter.
Yugi looked at the flyer again. "I got an idea, Yami but you might not like it." He had a grin on his face that was growing.
"Somehow I have the feeling, I wouldn't either," Yami stated noting the huge grin on Yugi's face. "Um, Aibou what are you thinking?" He asked nervously.
Yugi looked down on the flyer and back at Yami. "Kaiba."
"KAIBA!!" Yami practically screamed frustrated. "I wouldn't go crawling to him even if my life depended on it."
"But Yami...." Violet eyes widened and tears leaked out. "It's the only way. We can take Ryou and Jou with us too." Yugi grip the flyer tighter.
On the outside Yami looked calm and collected, but on the inside, he was completely panicking. "Aibou............ if it means so much to you, then I believe I can handle it, but if he starts making any 'comments,' I won't be able to control myself." Yami immediately wrapped his arms around his hikari.
Yugi hugged back. "We sick Jou on him if he tries any thing." He giggled.
Yami smiled with relief. "And just how are we going to get there?"
"By plane, Yami. We fly over the ocean." Yugi stood up and ran around the shop with his arms stretched out.
"And you trust that metal bird to get us safely to our destination?" Yami asked while paling a couple of shades.
"Yes Yami." Yugi put his arms down. "Now, how to make Seto take us with him? He would no doubt want to go to this convention." The smaller teen looked down on the flyer.
Yami shrugged. He had to think of a way to get his nemesis to pay for their tickets. "We could suggest dueling him after we make our card purchases?" He threw out that suggestion.
"Well that a good thought but we need something more." Yugi thought. "Do ya know any of his dark secrets?" Light looked at dark.
"I don't know any," Yami sighed, but then a smirk graced his face. " But I do know someone who knows all of his secrets."
Yugi bounced for joy. "That's great Yami. I ask Grandpa if we can go. I tell him Ryou and Jou are coming with us as well. I try to leave Kaiba out of it." The small teen bounced out of the room with flyer still in his hand.
Yami shook his head as he watched his energetic lighter half bounce out of the room. "Aibou, what am I going to do with you?" Since he had to watch the shop, he couldn't follow his hikari.
After a short period of time, Yugi was bouncing back if not higher. "We can go. We can go. We can go." He bounced into Yami's arms. "So it's your job to get Kaiba to take us." Yugi had a grin on his face ear to ear.
Yami muttered a few curses in Egyptian and picked up the phone, before dialing the Kaiba resident's number. He then waited patiently for someone to answer the phone.
"Kaiba's mansion." A butler spoke.
"May I speak with Seto Kaiba?" Yami asked with clenched teeth.
"One moment, sir." The phone clicked.
A moment when by and a voice came on the line. "Seto Kaiba speaking."
"This is Yami, have you heard of the Anime Card Convention in US?" Yami inquired.
There was a cough on the other end of the phone. "Yes, Yami I have heard about it. What do you want then?"
"Yugi wants to attend it," Yami said causally, trying not to sound desperate.
"And why would I care about this." Seto's voice was cold. "Yami."
"Because when we improve our deck, I thought you would want to duel us," Yami pointed out. "Or would you rather duel us with our usual deck?"
There was quiet on the other end of the phone. "Who else does Yugi want to bring..."
"He wants to bring Jou and Ryou," Yami said, not wanting Kaiba to know his relief when he agreed.
Seto growled into the phone. "Why does the pup have to come..."
"Because the 'pup' happens to be Yugi's best friend, and ........." Yami paused for a second. "Is the big bad Kaiba afraid of Jou getting a few cards to improve his deck?"
Seto sighed on the phone. "Just keep the pup away from me....okay."
"No problem," Yami said before they exchanged their goodbyes and hung up the phone. He then turned to his aibou, "We can go."
Yugi was bounce around more now. "Thanks Yami." He jump Yami and hugged him tight.
"Aibou........ need......... to .......... breathe............ please.......... let........... go," Yami tried to gasp and hoped his aibou would get the message.
Yugi blushed and let go of Yami. "I got to tell Jou and Ryou." The small teen bounced up the starts, two at a time.
Yami was left trying to regain his breath as he watched his hikari leave. Inwardly, he was beaming with joy, since he was able to make his aibou happy. On the bonus side, wiping Kaiba with their improved deck would make his day.
Yugi bounced onto his bed and dialed Ryou's home.
"Ryou speaking," a soft voice with a British answered the phone.
"Ryou. Have you heard about the Anime card convention?" Yugi's voice was excited.
"Yes, I have heard about it," Ryou said, slightly worried about his friend's unusual hyperness. "Why?"
"I got Kaiba to take you, Jou and me to the convention." Yugi was bouncing on the bed.
"That's wonderful news," Ryou beamed, but then became sad. "How will your yami react to my yami, you know................." His voice trailed off.
"Yami didn't say anything about your yami....just that the fact he has to go with Kaiba on a plane." Yugi giggled.
"I hope those two will get along," Ryou said a little worried. "I just wish my yami doesn't go psycho on us and gets sent back to the Shadow Realm again."
"Don't worry Ryou. There are lots of special and rare cards for everyone." Yugi beamed. "So we will be leaving in a month."
"I have to go," Ryou gasped as he was being tackled from behind by his yami.
"See you at school Ryou." Yugi hang up the phone. He thought for a moment before he realized he didn't have Jou's number and wondered why that was. With that, he jump off his bed and bounce down the stairs. "Yami, do you know where Jou could be?"
"Probably at that 'arcade,'" Yami shrugged as he was placing the new shipment of games onto the shelves. "No, wait........... I think he has a new employment."
Yugi blinked. "Okay. No doubt, he will show up soon any ways." Yugi bounced up and down. "This is going to be so much fun Yami." Yugi looked at the flyer again. "The one thing I think we best do is get our visas."
"I'm sure, Aibou," Yami said not watching his lighter half bounce up and down. He was getting a little dizzy from watching his smaller form. Glancing over to the clock, he realized it was almost four in the afternoon. "I think he would be getting off about now."
Yugi sat down. "You know what a visa is right Yami?" He smiled.
Yami thought for a moment. "Is it those credit cards Grandpa uses?"
Yugi shook his head. "It's a kind of ID for getting in and out of different countries."
"Oh. In my days, we didn't need any 'ID' to move between different lands," Yami shrugged, while looking outside the window for a certain blonde.
"Well it's needed for going into the US. So we need to go to post office to get the stuff needed to get it. As well take a picture. I wonder if Ryou needs to get one for his Yami..." Yugi wiggled his legs.
Yami twitched angrily. "BAKURA!!! That soul stealing tomb robber is coming?!?!? When I get my hands on him.................." He felt like he was going to explode at any moment.
Yugi lowered his head. "Well Ryou can't leave him here in the city when we leave....he might do something...." His voice was small.
The older boy calmed down. "Point taken. I don't trust that tomb robber to leave him out of my sight, not even for a second."
"Right. So that why he coming too. He might do something...we don't want to think about." Yugi smiled at Yami. "I just hope Jou can come too. It will be so much fun."
"I'm sure he wouldn't miss it," Yami tried to sound assuring.
Seconds pass by, when all of a sudden a blonde and green blur came streaking into the game shop and stopped to catch a breather.
"Jou!" Yugi bounced off the chair and into his friend's arm. "Guess what I got plan for us to do in a month."
When he finally caught his breath, the taller blonde teen managed to ask, "So what have ya got planned Yug?"
"We are going to the Anime Card Convention in the US." Yugi bounced around the room. "Can you believe it?"
"No way!!" Jou exclaimed with equal enthusiasm before reality hit. "But I don't have enough cash for a plane ticket."
"Kaiba taking us. Yami, Ryou, Bakura, me and you." Yugi bounced around the room. "Isn't it great."
Jou growled loudly at the thought of Kaiba paying for his ticket. His fists were clenched, and he was glaring at the wall.
"My thoughts exactly," Yami sighed.
"But Jou it will be no fun without you." Yugi looked at Jou with big violet eyes. "Please Jou."
"Yug, dis is Kaiba we're talking bout," Jou said hesitantly. "He's probably going to make me wear a puppy costume since he is going to be paying for my ticket."
"I don't think he will do that Jou." Yugi look at Yami. "He promised he behave didn't he Yami."
"As long as you don't go near him," Yami informed the blonde.
"That's fine with me," Jou said. "I will stay away from him if he stays away from me."
"I'm sure that can be arranged," Yami said with confidence.
Yugi sighed. "Do you have a visa, Jou?"
"Yeah, Serenity asked me to get one of those things," Jou said casually, as he remembered his sister.
"That's good. I need to get one for Yami and Ryou might have to get one for Bakura." Yugi bounced back to his seat. "This is going to be so much fun."
"BAKURA!!!" Jou paled at the thought. "Please tell me he ain't going."
Yami raised a brow at this but decided to stay silent and watch.
"Sorry Jou but he has to come. You don't want the city to be in flames when we come back." Yugi looked at Jou.
"Ya got me there Yug," Jou said nervously. "Besides, we also don't want anyone else to be sealed into their favorite card."
Yugi nodded. "So it will be the six of us going." The small tri-color hair boy beamed brightly.
"Then dat means I'll have ta ask my boss for some time off," Jou realized.
"Don't you have some vacation time coming to you?" Yugi looked at Jou. "And we aren't leaving for a month."
"I can manage to get some time off," Jou said with confidence.
"The convention only for three days so I think a week would be enough, Jou." Yugi showed Jou the flyer.
Jou read the flyer as Yugi showed him. "No prob, I can definitely get a week off. I haven't missed a day of work."
"Great." Yugi once again bounce out of the chair and hugged Jou. "So after my choirs I'm taking Yami to get his photo for his visa."
"Can't he just ride in his soul room?" Jou suggested.
"He might need a visa when we are there Jou." Yugi looked at the blond.
"Oh yeah, he can't remain in his soul room forever," Jou said, as he nervously scratched the back of his head.
"And I don't plan on either," Yami spoke up from behind the counter.
Yugi giggled. "I'm glad you can come, Jou." He hugged the blonde again.
"No sweat," Jou said. He then noticed the time. "Oh crap, I gotta go back home and cook dinner."
"You can cook?" Yami raised a brow.
"I can cook," Jou huffed at the implied accusation.
"Yes, but does anyone live after eating it?" Yami asked which aggravated the blonde.
"Yami!!!" Yugi glared at the pharaoh. "It's just Jou and his father at his house. You take care, Jou."
"Thanks Yug," Jou waved good bye before taking off for his house.
"What?" Yami asked trying to pull that innocent look that his aibou does so well.
"Why would you diss Jou like that. I expect Kaiba to do that to him but not you."
"I'm sorry?" Yami said nervously, since he didn't want his aibou to be angry at him like the last time.
Yugi came over to his darker half and hugged him. "It's okay Yami." He let go.
Moments later, Grandpa came down from doing all those order forms. "Thank you boys, for watching the store for me."
"Your welcome Grandpa." Yugi smiled.
"You shouldn't be cooped here the rest of the afternoon," Grandpa said while motioning to the outside. "Go have fun"
Yugi bounced out the door. "Come on Yami."
"Calm down Aibou," Yami said as he walked calmly to the door.
Yugi stopped and waited for Yami. "Let's get our visa then." He smiled.
Inside Yami felt warm. He liked it when his hikari was happy and hurried to where his aibou was waiting for him. "Okay."
Yugi took Yami's hand. "Ready?" He beamed.
"I'm ready whenever you are," Yami smiled at his hikari.
Yugi pulled Yami outside. "Right post office then photo store."
Yami just allowed his hikari to drag him anywhere. He didn't care where he was going to as long as he was with his koi.
They came up to the post office as Bakura step out. "Well isn't it the Pharaoh and his light."
"Shut it, tomb robber," Yami growled at the white haired soul stealer.
"Bakura," Ryou protested as he trailed behind his yami.
"What?" Bakura rap his arm around Ryou. "I was only saying hello." He kissed Ryou's ear.
Ryou snuggled into his yami's embrace, much to the surprise of Yami.
Yami, upon seeing this, was completely shocked. His jaw was literally on the ground.
"We come to terms Pharaoh." Bakura pulled Ryou along. "Have you with your light?" He smirked. "Come on Ryou let's get that picture."
"Now that something I didn't think would happen..." Yugi watched the pair leave. "I'm happy for Ryou."
"Sure," Yami said, still not believing what he saw. 'How is that even possible? Did someone change him?' He thought before shaking his head. "Let's get those visas, you were talking about."
Yugi grinned. "Okay, Yami." Yugi walked into the post office. He looked about for the packet that had all the information in it.
"What's our first task?" Yami asked looking around.
"These." Yugi held up a pair of booklets. "We fill these out with information and with the picture we send them out. In a few weeks we get our visas, which is why we have to do this now."
"Oh okay," Yami said looking at the two booklets. "Then that would mean we have to get those pictures this afternoon. Let's get those pictures then."
Yugi nodded. "We can go any where that does visa's photos. Let's try to stay away from Bakura...I don't know what's going on with him." Yugi looked at Yami. "And Grandpa will help us out with the forms too."
"Absolutely, I don't know if I can control myself from sending him back to the Shadow Realm," Yami tried to relax. "Hopefully, he will be finished with getting his. How thoughtful of Grandpa."
Yugi bounced down the street. "Don't worry Yami. Ryou and Bakura will have there own room. Once we tell Kaiba what going on between them." He grinned silly.
"Then that would leave Kaiba with Jou," Yami said thoughtfully. "Unless we're going to get four rooms, though I think Kaiba would have enough money for that."
Yugi stopped and blushed. "Yami...." He looked down at his feet. "Well knowing Kaiba he might put Jou in a closet....or the dog house..."
"Then they'll just have to get different rooms," Yami mused as he stopped by his hikari. "I don't think Kaiba would mind spending a few dollars over spending a few nights with Jou."
"Or we make them realize they like each other." Yugi looked up at Yami. "Jou said something that I think he didn't want me to hear."
Yami raised his brow as he pulled his hikari close to him. "And what pray tell, did Jou say?"
Yugi blushed brighter. He looked about. "Something like...Those blue eyes burn into my soul."
"Oh really?" Yami mused. "This will prove to be a very interesting trip then." He thought about all the possibilities. "We should get those pictures before the store closes."
"Indeed, Yami, indeed." The photo shop came into view. A pair of white hair teens were heading away from it. "At least Bakura is done with his picture."
"Then I wouldn't have to send him to the Shadow Realm," Yami said as they approached the photo shop.
Yugi giggled. "Come on Yami. I think Bakura is trying to change." The hyper teen bounced into the photo shop.
Yami shook his head. Yugi will be Yugi. He followed his lighter half into the store. "Aibou, calm down."
The shop owner was a bit shaken. "Hello."
Yugi smiled. "We need past port pictures please."
The man nodded and led Yugi to a chair. "Please sit down."
The small teen did and the man took the boy's picture a few times. "Come back tomorrow for them." Yugi nodded and jump off. "Alright sir your turn." He pointed to the chair.
Yami nodded his head and complied with his aibou's wishes. He sat down on the chair, before looking in the same direction Yugi looked when he was sitting on the chair.
The man took the pictures. "Tomorrow your pictures will be ready." He took the film into the back.
"Thank you." Yugi took Yami's hand. "Let's go home, Yami."
"Sure thing," Yami said taking his aibou's hand. Suddenly, he pulled his hikari close to him and planted a kiss on Yugi's lips.
Yugi gasp. /Yami?/ Violet eyes closed.
//Yes, aibou?// Yami deepened the kiss and ran his tongue along his aibou's lips.
/What are you doing...to me?/ Yugi's hand gently squeezed Yami's arm. /It feels...so...warm.../
Yami mentally smirked at his aibou before nibbling on Yugi's lips. //Just you wait and see.//
/Okay.../ Yugi moan quietly into Yami's mouth.
Yami managed to work his tongue way into Yugi's mouth and thoroughly explored it, taking his sweet time.
/Yami?/ Yugi pushed away. "I'm sorry...not sure but I know I..." Yugi's face was bright red. "I love you...."
"I love you too," Yami nuzzled his aibou's neck. Then he realized they were getting an audience. "Um, we'd better take this home." He whispered into Yugi's ear.
The small teen nodded. He pulled Yami quickly back home.
Once they had reached Yugi's room, Yami quickly pounced on Yugi pinning him on his own bed.
"Yami?" Yugi was a bit in shock. His face was red. "What????" His violet eyes looked into crimson eyes.
"Just having a little fun," Yami smirked as he began to plant butterfly kisses on his smaller half.
Yugi giggled. /Yami....Grandpa might..walk in on us.../ His face was red.
//Fine.// Yami pouted mentally as he slid off Yugi to lie right next to him. An evil smirk graced his face as thought of something.
/At the convention...okay?/ Yugi panted.
//You know me too well.// Before Yugi could react, Yami's fingers made their way to his hikari's sensitive sides and tickled the boy mercilessly.
"YAMI!!!!" Yugi burst out laughing.
^.^ ^.^ ^.^ ^.^ ^.^ ^.^ Kaiba's Mansion ^.^ ^.^ ^.^ ^.^ ^.^ ^.^
Seto Kaiba was pacing his home office. 'How did I get talked into this...' He sighed and sat down.
Mokuba bounced into his older brother's office, wanting to tell him the good news. "Oh, Big Brother!!"
"Hey kiddo." Seto looked at his brother. His brother the one person that gave him strength all the time.
"Big Brother, I have some great news!!" Mokuba bounced up and down with joy.
"And what do you have to tell me?" Seto smiled at his brother. His fingers played with his locket.
"I got invited to go to this exclusive computer summer camp," Mokuba beamed with pride. "You know the one you always sponsor every year."
"That great, Mokuba." Seto open up his arms. "Come here kiddo and give ya big brother a hug."
Mokuba more than happily agreed as he jumped into his brother's open arms. "When I grow up, I want to be just like you."
Seto hugged his brother. "I love you, Mokuba." 'You be better than me...I had to much pulled out of my soul.' "Mokuba. I'm going to an Anime card convention next month."
"You'll bring me back some souvenirs, won't yah?" Mokuba asked with wide eyes.
"Yes I will. Any requests?" He patted the boy's head.
Mokuba took a few moments to think. "Could you get me something from the Gundam Wing series and a few duel monster cards? Please?"
"Sure thing, little brother." He placed a kiss on the boy's cheek. "Now get some sleep."
"Okay," Mokuba smiled. "And you know, you're the bestest big brother in the whole world."
Seto smiled and patted his brother's head again. "Night, Mokuba."
"Night Big Brother," Mokuba said as he bounced out of the room with an unusual amount of energy for this time of night.
Seto shook his head. He wondered why he allowed Yami talk him into letting that blonde pup come along.

Yami twitched angrily. "BAKURA!!! That soul stealing tomb robber is coming?!?!? When I get my hands on him.................." He felt like he was going to explode at any moment.
Yugi lowered his head. "Well Ryou can't leave him here in the city when we leave....he might do something...." His voice was small.
The older boy calmed down. "Point taken. I don't trust that tomb robber to leave him out of my sight, not even for a second."
"Right. So that why he coming too. He might do something...we don't want to think about." Yugi smiled at Yami. "I just hope Jou can come too. It will be so much fun."
"I'm sure he wouldn't miss it," Yami tried to sound assuring.
Seconds pass by, when all of a sudden a blonde and green blur came streaking into the game shop and stopped to catch a breather.
"Jou!" Yugi bounced off the chair and into his friend's arm. "Guess what I got plan for us to do in a month."
When he finally caught his breath, the taller blonde teen managed to ask, "So what have ya got planned Yug?"
"We are going to the Anime Card Convention in the US." Yugi bounced around the room. "Can you believe it?"
"No way!!" Jou exclaimed with equal enthusiasm before reality hit. "But I don't have enough cash for a plane ticket."
"Kaiba taking us. Yami, Ryou, Bakura, me and you." Yugi bounced around the room. "Isn't it great."
Jou growled loudly at the thought of Kaiba paying for his ticket. His fists were clenched, and he was glaring at the wall.
"My thoughts exactly," Yami sighed.
"But Jou it will be no fun without you." Yugi looked at Jou with big violet eyes. "Please Jou."
"Yug, dis is Kaiba we're talking bout," Jou said hesitantly. "He's probably going to make me wear a puppy costume since he is going to be paying for my ticket."
"I don't think he will do that Jou." Yugi look at Yami. "He promised he behave didn't he Yami."
"As long as you don't go near him," Yami informed the blonde.
"That's fine with me," Jou said. "I will stay away from him if he stays away from me."
"I'm sure that can be arranged," Yami said with confidence.
Yugi sighed. "Do you have a visa, Jou?"
"Yeah, Serenity asked me to get one of those things," Jou said casually, as he remembered his sister.
"That's good. I need to get one for Yami and Ryou might have to get one for Bakura." Yugi bounced back to his seat. "This is going to be so much fun."
"BAKURA!!!" Jou paled at the thought. "Please tell me he ain't going."
Yami raised a brow at this but decided to stay silent and watch.
"Sorry Jou but he has to come. You don't want the city to be in flames when we come back." Yugi looked at Jou.
"Ya got me there Yug," Jou said nervously. "Besides, we also don't want anyone else to be sealed into their favorite card."
Yugi nodded. "So it will be the six of us going." The small tri-color hair boy beamed brightly.
"Then dat means I'll have ta ask my boss for some time off," Jou realized.
"Don't you have some vacation time coming to you?" Yugi looked at Jou. "And we aren't leaving for a month."
"I can manage to get some time off," Jou said with confidence.
"The convention only for three days so I think a week would be enough, Jou." Yugi showed Jou the flyer.
Jou read the flyer as Yugi showed him. "No prob, I can definitely get a week off. I haven't missed a day of work."
"Great." Yugi once again bounce out of the chair and hugged Jou. "So after my choirs I'm taking Yami to get his photo for his visa."
"Can't he just ride in his soul room?" Jou suggested.
"He might need a visa when we are there Jou." Yugi looked at the blond.
"Oh yeah, he can't remain in his soul room forever," Jou said, as he nervously scratched the back of his head.
"And I don't plan on either," Yami spoke up from behind the counter.
Yugi giggled. "I'm glad you can come, Jou." He hugged the blonde again.
"No sweat," Jou said. He then noticed the time. "Oh crap, I gotta go back home and cook dinner."
"You can cook?" Yami raised a brow.
"I can cook," Jou huffed at the implied accusation.
"Yes, but does anyone live after eating it?" Yami asked which aggravated the blonde.
"Yami!!!" Yugi glared at the pharaoh. "It's just Jou and his father at his house. You take care, Jou."
"Thanks Yug," Jou waved good bye before taking off for his house.
"What?" Yami asked trying to pull that innocent look that his aibou does so well.
"Why would you diss Jou like that. I expect Kaiba to do that to him but not you."
"I'm sorry?" Yami said nervously, since he didn't want his aibou to be angry at him like the last time.
Yugi came over to his darker half and hugged him. "It's okay Yami." He let go.
Moments later, Grandpa came down from doing all those order forms. "Thank you boys, for watching the store for me."
"Your welcome Grandpa." Yugi smiled.
"You shouldn't be cooped here the rest of the afternoon," Grandpa said while motioning to the outside. "Go have fun"
Yugi bounced out the door. "Come on Yami."
"Calm down Aibou," Yami said as he walked calmly to the door.
Yugi stopped and waited for Yami. "Let's get our visa then." He smiled.
Inside Yami felt warm. He liked it when his hikari was happy and hurried to where his aibou was waiting for him. "Okay."
Yugi took Yami's hand. "Ready?" He beamed.
"I'm ready whenever you are," Yami smiled at his hikari.
Yugi pulled Yami outside. "Right post office then photo store."
Yami just allowed his hikari to drag him anywhere. He didn't care where he was going to as long as he was with his koi.
They came up to the post office as Bakura step out. "Well isn't it the Pharaoh and his light."
"Shut it, tomb robber," Yami growled at the white haired soul stealer.
"Bakura," Ryou protested as he trailed behind his yami.
"What?" Bakura rap his arm around Ryou. "I was only saying hello." He kissed Ryou's ear.
Ryou snuggled into his yami's embrace, much to the surprise of Yami.
Yami, upon seeing this, was completely shocked. His jaw was literally on the ground.
"We come to terms Pharaoh." Bakura pulled Ryou along. "Have you with your light?" He smirked. "Come on Ryou let's get that picture."
"Now that something I didn't think would happen..." Yugi watched the pair leave. "I'm happy for Ryou."
"Sure," Yami said, still not believing what he saw. 'How is that even possible? Did someone change him?' He thought before shaking his head. "Let's get those visas, you were talking about."
Yugi grinned. "Okay, Yami." Yugi walked into the post office. He looked about for the packet that had all the information in it.
"What's our first task?" Yami asked looking around.
"These." Yugi held up a pair of booklets. "We fill these out with information and with the picture we send them out. In a few weeks we get our visas, which is why we have to do this now."
"Oh okay," Yami said looking at the two booklets. "Then that would mean we have to get those pictures this afternoon. Let's get those pictures then."
Yugi nodded. "We can go any where that does visa's photos. Let's try to stay away from Bakura...I don't know what's going on with him." Yugi looked at Yami. "And Grandpa will help us out with the forms too."
"Absolutely, I don't know if I can control myself from sending him back to the Shadow Realm," Yami tried to relax. "Hopefully, he will be finished with getting his. How thoughtful of Grandpa."
Yugi bounced down the street. "Don't worry Yami. Ryou and Bakura will have there own room. Once we tell Kaiba what going on between them." He grinned silly.
"Then that would leave Kaiba with Jou," Yami said thoughtfully. "Unless we're going to get four rooms, though I think Kaiba would have enough money for that."
Yugi stopped and blushed. "Yami...." He looked down at his feet. "Well knowing Kaiba he might put Jou in a closet....or the dog house..."
"Then they'll just have to get different rooms," Yami mused as he stopped by his hikari. "I don't think Kaiba would mind spending a few dollars over spending a few nights with Jou."
"Or we make them realize they like each other." Yugi looked up at Yami. "Jou said something that I think he didn't want me to hear."
Yami raised his brow as he pulled his hikari close to him. "And what pray tell, did Jou say?"
Yugi blushed brighter. He looked about. "Something like...Those blue eyes burn into my soul."
"Oh really?" Yami mused. "This will prove to be a very interesting trip then." He thought about all the possibilities. "We should get those pictures before the store closes."
"Indeed, Yami, indeed." The photo shop came into view. A pair of white hair teens were heading away from it. "At least Bakura is done with his picture."
"Then I wouldn't have to send him to the Shadow Realm," Yami said as they approached the photo shop.
Yugi giggled. "Come on Yami. I think Bakura is trying to change." The hyper teen bounced into the photo shop.
Yami shook his head. Yugi will be Yugi. He followed his lighter half into the store. "Aibou, calm down."
The shop owner was a bit shaken. "Hello."
Yugi smiled. "We need past port pictures please."
The man nodded and led Yugi to a chair. "Please sit down."
The small teen did and the man took the boy's picture a few times. "Come back tomorrow for them." Yugi nodded and jump off. "Alright sir your turn." He pointed to the chair.
Yami nodded his head and complied with his aibou's wishes. He sat down on the chair, before looking in the same direction Yugi looked when he was sitting on the chair.
The man took the pictures. "Tomorrow your pictures will be ready." He took the film into the back.
"Thank you." Yugi took Yami's hand. "Let's go home, Yami."
"Sure thing," Yami said taking his aibou's hand. Suddenly, he pulled his hikari close to him and planted a kiss on Yugi's lips.
Yugi gasp. /Yami?/ Violet eyes closed.
//Yes, aibou?// Yami deepened the kiss and ran his tongue along his aibou's lips.
/What are you doing...to me?/ Yugi's hand gently squeezed Yami's arm. /It feels...so...warm.../
Yami mentally smirked at his aibou before nibbling on Yugi's lips. //Just you wait and see.//
/Okay.../ Yugi moan quietly into Yami's mouth.
Yami managed to work his tongue way into Yugi's mouth and thoroughly explored it, taking his sweet time.
/Yami?/ Yugi pushed away. "I'm sorry...not sure but I know I..." Yugi's face was bright red. "I love you...."
"I love you too," Yami nuzzled his aibou's neck. Then he realized they were getting an audience. "Um, we'd better take this home." He whispered into Yugi's ear.
The small teen nodded. He pulled Yami quickly back home.
Once they had reached Yugi's room, Yami quickly pounced on Yugi pinning him on his own bed.
"Yami?" Yugi was a bit in shock. His face was red. "What????" His violet eyes looked into crimson eyes.
"Just having a little fun," Yami smirked as he began to plant butterfly kisses on his smaller half.
Yugi giggled. /Yami....Grandpa might..walk in on us.../ His face was red.
//Fine.// Yami pouted mentally as he slid off Yugi to lie right next to him. An evil smirk graced his face as thought of something.
/At the convention...okay?/ Yugi panted.
//You know me too well.// Before Yugi could react, Yami's fingers made their way to his hikari's sensitive sides and tickled the boy mercilessly.
"YAMI!!!!" Yugi burst out laughing.

Seto Kaiba was pacing his home office. 'How did I get talked into this...' He sighed and sat down.
Mokuba bounced into his older brother's office, wanting to tell him the good news. "Oh, Big Brother!!"
"Hey kiddo." Seto looked at his brother. His brother the one person that gave him strength all the time.
"Big Brother, I have some great news!!" Mokuba bounced up and down with joy.
"And what do you have to tell me?" Seto smiled at his brother. His fingers played with his locket.
"I got invited to go to this exclusive computer summer camp," Mokuba beamed with pride. "You know the one you always sponsor every year."
"That great, Mokuba." Seto open up his arms. "Come here kiddo and give ya big brother a hug."
Mokuba more than happily agreed as he jumped into his brother's open arms. "When I grow up, I want to be just like you."
Seto hugged his brother. "I love you, Mokuba." 'You be better than me...I had to much pulled out of my soul.' "Mokuba. I'm going to an Anime card convention next month."
"You'll bring me back some souvenirs, won't yah?" Mokuba asked with wide eyes.
"Yes I will. Any requests?" He patted the boy's head.
Mokuba took a few moments to think. "Could you get me something from the Gundam Wing series and a few duel monster cards? Please?"
"Sure thing, little brother." He placed a kiss on the boy's cheek. "Now get some sleep."
"Okay," Mokuba smiled. "And you know, you're the bestest big brother in the whole world."
Seto smiled and patted his brother's head again. "Night, Mokuba."
"Night Big Brother," Mokuba said as he bounced out of the room with an unusual amount of energy for this time of night.
Seto shook his head. He wondered why he allowed Yami talk him into letting that blonde pup come along.
