Rowan: Hello all! Thank you to all who reviewed! I really appreciate it!

Sakura: *gags * Too many exclamation points! Rowan, you are too hyper!

Rowan: Well so are you! You also used exclamation points!

Sakura: So?

Rowan: Well, I just don't see how you can complain. Unless you are a hypocrite, I wouldn't put it passed you.

Sakura: What's that supposed to mean?!

Rowan: Oh, nothing.-Say! I need to do the disclaimer and warning! Ryou, if you will do the honors…

Ryou: * grumbles * It's not enough you're writing about a thousand stories with me in them, I have to appear in your pre-chapter conversation with your yami as well!

Rowan: *attempts Ryou's puppy dog eyes *

Sakura: Why are you so angry Rowan?

Rowan: * glares at her yami* I was doing Ryou's puppy dog eyes!

Sakura: Really?! Oh, I thought you were annoyed!

Rowan: Oh forget it! Ryou, please do the friggin' disclaimer!

Ryou: Fine, fine! Ahem, yes, Rowan and Sakura do not own YGO. If they did then there would be two characters named after them in the show and I would have to suffer having Rowan as my girlfriend. Since I don't have a girlfriend, much less a nutcase named Rowan-

Rowan: Hey!

Ryou: -it's obvious that Mr. Takahashi still owns YGO (Thank God too!)

Rowan: Ryou, you're not doing the disclaimer ever again. You'll give me a bad name!

Ryou: *sighs in relief * Really? Thank you so much!

Rowan: On the other hand, since you dislike it so much, maybe I should make you do it to torture you.

Ryou: *looks pleadingly to Sakura *

Sakura: *sighs * Gods Rowan, do you have to be so cruel? You're my hikari, you're supposed to be the light, the innocence. But no, you leave that to me, the yami, the darkness.

Rowan: * rolls eyes * Could you stop babbling? I still have to do the Author's Note and the chapter!

Sakura: Right, sorry!

AN: This story contains yaoi (if you didn't already know.) In addition, there is an OC introduced in this chapter. Also, this chapter is very, very short. That's why I have all that filling up there. Gomen if it's annoying!

First Love

Chapter 4: First Letter

Denoma Amoned strolled through the streets of Domino City. She had a job to do that she couldn't be distracted from, but even so, the white-haired boy would not leave her mind alone. Denoma had been hanging out on the front steps of the high school that morning when she had seen him. The teen was like an angel. No, correction, he was an angel.

Denoma's mind went further into thought of the boy. That's when she remembered seeing that other white-haired boy walk up to the angel and kiss him. "Grrr," Denoma growled to herself. "That demon shall not win! The white-haired angel will be mine!"

Ryou woke up with a cough. Bakura, lying next to him woke up with his aibou. "Love, are you alright?"

Ryou coughed again and shock his head. "I think I'm sick," he said in a groggy voice.

Bakura quickly got out of bed, slipped on his shirt and retreated into the bathroom. Seconds later he returned with a thermometer. He took Ryou's temperature. "Oh Ryou! You are 99.9o F! You are staying home today my light. I'll stay as well."

"No!" Ryou protested. "No. You need to get my homework that I miss. Besides, our friends will be worried about us if we are both not in school."

Bakura snorted. "What friends? They avoid us, remember?"

"Not Yuugi or Jounouchi! They're still our friends you know."

Bakura sighed. "They're your friends, yes. Mine, I don't think so."

Ryou laughed, but in the middle of it started coughing. "That's only because you're not social Bakura. But enough of this. I'm going to make you late for school."

"You still want me to go?"

"Yes," Ryou stated firmly.

"Alright, I'll go. You get your rest. Don't get out of bed except for meals, understand?"

Ryou nodded his head. "Now go!"

---*---

Ryou slept through most of the morning, but got up around noon to get his lunch. As he walked into the kitchen, he noticed an impersonal white envelope sticking under the apartment door. Picking it up, Ryou opened it and pulled out a letter.

Dear Bakura,

You don't know me, but I know who you are and I swear, if you don't leave Ryou I'll force you to. To put it bluntly, I will kill you.

Sincerely,

Ryou's one true love

Ryou froze, the letter in his hand. /One true love? Leave Ryou? Kill you?! Oh Bakura, who's after you? Who's after me?/

Rowan: Short, I know, but at least now we have the story going someplace, right? So please review so I can continue, though I won't for the month of June. I've got finals coming up, so I've gotta study, study, study! *Groans * I can't wait until June 21! School ends the 20th and the 5th Harry Potter book is coming out! Just one more month! In the meantime, please review.
