To my reviewers: Yeah *cheers* I got a lot of reviews. *hands all Yami and Yugi plushies* I didn't expect 9 reviews, because I received the most of them within the last few days. Thank you all for making me happy!!!!!!

Rikainiel: A deal is a deal. So here is the update. Hope you like it. And Yami and Yugi haven't kissed ..... yet. ^_^ Hope you update soon. You know I love you *hugs Rikaniniel*

snow-shadow-wolf: Here is the update. I know I'm evil and interrupt the kiss. But I definitely will make it up to you soon.

anonymous: Thank you for your voting. I think in "The power of a wish" will be Tea/Anzu bashing. But I have yet to decide if there is much or only hints of it.

Charmeleon: Thank you for reviewing and voting!!!

Dagger5: I really have to thank you. You're stuck with me since the first chapter. And to your question: yes you were the first again -like always ^^. So now read, then review and then work on your V-Day-fic ^^

Saakura: You really love this chapter this much. *blushing* Thank you. I love it when my reviewers like the chapters and write that sweet reviews. So here is the update!

Spiritual Winds: Thank you here is the update.

Silentia: Thank you for your advices. I keep them in my mind. I hope you like this chapter!

Bunny Meatball: Wow what a long review! Also a big thank you for reviewing every chapter so far. Sorry for the Tea-bashing, but I needed it for the plot and I'm afraid there will be some more in the next chapters too. I have to state that I like Mai better than Tea. I don't dislike Tea. It's changing. Sometimes I really like her and then I bash her. It's changing with my mood. ^^

I don't know much about Pokemon, because I'm a bit to old for it. ^^ *remembers her friend saying she is a old lady*. Yes my friends are that "nice" to me. But 19 isn't THAT old *pouts* Ok a little then ...

It's fine with me if YxY isn't your absolute favourite couple. I mean it would be boring if there are always the same pairings. Thank you for reviewing, even if it isn't your favourite pairing and you're a Tea fan. I try to be nice to her in my next fic - which is most likely "The power of wish", because you always review. And even if I bash her, it won't be bad. (like you with Ash ^^) *hands a Yami plushie*

I see you are visiting me in Yami-La-La-Land. I'm so often there. People think I'm a part of the furniture. ^o^

Sansi: Hey guys! I'm back!

Yami: Why are you hiding behind me?

Sansi: Ummm . you still have your shadow powers, don't you?

Yami: Yes, why?! *looks puzzled*

Sansi: Ahm . You see. I think some people are going to kill me if I don't put more fluff in this fic and update more often.

Yami: *Protects Sansi* Don't kill her. She has to write a lot of YxY fics!!! *glares at flamers*

Sansi: -.- I feel so loved!!! But we're making progress . ^.^

'So, now back to Yami'

Yugi turned around to face Yami, but found that the spot where he supposed to see the hot guy was empty. '.' Yugi thought.

' . Yami?! .' he asked quietly, a little unsure of the situation. 'Where can he be?'

"Hai" came the response, near his ear. Yugi turned around startled and came face to face with Yami. Not really, it was more face to lips, because of their close proximity Yugi's eyes where in the same height as Yami's mouth.

Yugi found it hard to form a normal thought. His full attention was captured by this rosy lips. They were slightly pattered and Yugi could feel the heath consuming his face. It was intoxicating to say the least. Abandoning his thoughts he stepped on his tiptoes and leaned slightly forward. He wanted to put his hands on the warm chest and close his eyes, . then it hit him like bricks.

'WHAT exactly are you doing?!!!!!! You know him for what ... barely 6 hours . and you're going to kiss him?'

'. Yes .'

'Heeeelloooooo are you still in there? Or is your brain on vacation. What will he think of you when you kiss him? He mostly will be disgusted and he never ever want to see you again!'

'That's right. I.I.I will loose him before I ever get the chance to know him better . and probably become friends with him . or even more . I can't slip this chance. I have to do this right. FRIENDSHIP comes first . Even if it hurts to be near him' (*authoress ducks her head from the objects throwing at her by reviewers*)

Yami blinked at Yugi. 'Did he lean forward. Or was it just my imagination? . IEE . You're seeing things' He convinced himself.

Nonetheless the situation was awkward. Yami and Yugi were standing in the living room in close proximity, starring at each other and nobody spoke a word. The only sound was their uneven breathing.

Yugi cleared his throat to broke the uncomfortable silence. He found the ground very interesting at the moment.

"Where were you, Yami?" Yugi asked curious.

"I was getting my coat. It's kinda late and I gotta go now" Yami replied, not knowing that his words were the cause for the smaller one's twist in his heart.

"Oh" Yugi said quietly, barely above a whisper. He was crashed, remembering the fun he had with the other teen.

Yami smiled at the smaller teen, not really understanding why he seemed so disappointed. "I see you tomorrow then"

Yugi looked up and flashed the purple-eyed boy a heartful smile. His amethyst eyes sparkling with joy.

"See you tomorrow then, Yugi" Yami said while opening the front door.

"Yeah, till tomorrow. And arigato for helping me today" Yugi shouted after the figure, who is rounding a corner.

"It was really no problem. Good night" the older teen replied.

"Good night, Yami. I love you" Yugi whispered, knowing there was no chance Yami could have heard it. He sighed softly, leaning against the door frame.

Making the decision to go to bed, he went upstairs to his room. Yugi fell face first into his bed, not even changing his clothes.

He pressed his face in the pillow, smiling to himself. Yep, today was a good day. In this position he fall asleep, dreaming of his perfect love. (kawaii)

+++++++++++++++++++++

+The next day+

Yugi woke up, unusual hyper. He can't help, but smile when he remembered the last day and especially Yami. Today, Yugi wanted to be early in school, so he may has the chance to meet Yami.

+At school+

The small youth shifted nervously. In 10 minuets school would start and still no sign of Yami. He leaned against the wall next to Yami's locker. Yugi hoped that Yami will show up soon, he really wanted to say the other teen before school.

'Can't last a day without seeing him, huh?' But it was true. Yugi saw him barely 10 hours ago and his heart already screamed to see Yami's face again. He didn't know how to live through class. He hold his books tightly, wishing for Yami to arrive soon.

Yugi was brought back from his thoughts when something slammed into him and he feel to the ground, his books lying around him.

"Look what you have done, shrimp!! You ruined my shirt!!!!" a angry voice shouted. Yugi looked up to see an angry bully glaring at him. Seconds ago the bully has had a cup of cocoa in his hands, but after their accident the whole cocoa was over his shirt and his pants. Even if it wasn't Yugi's fault he feared for his safety. 'You gotta pay for this!" the bully growled.

"Something wrong here?" a third person interfered. Yugi's eyes lit up when he saw a crown of black and red hair behind the bully.

The bully turned around ready to gave the introducer a piece of his mind. But when he saw WHO exactly was standing behind him, he changed his mind wisely. Yes, he was a bully, but he wasn't stupid enough to tangle with Yami. After all he wanted to come home in one piece. (dangerous, mysterious, brave, strong . and hot Yami *drooling*)

"No . nothing . never mind" the bully run of like a rocket, hoping to escape Yami's revenge. The tri-coulored teens looked after the cloud of dust, wondering how somebody can be that fast. (*sweatdrop*)

Yugi quickly thanked Yami and bent down to collect his books. Yami helped him. They didn't realised, that they both reached for the last book and their hands touched, to be precise Yami's hand was on Yugi's. Both looked up to look at the other and found themselves locked in the other's eyes.

Yugi has his mouth open in an 'O' form and Yami just continued to stare. Yugi felt the heat rising . again . 'damn'. Yugi gattered his thoughts and took the book. He regretted his action because he immediately missed the warmth and the fuzzy feeling.

Before either of them could speak a word the bell rang, telling them that the first class was starting. Yugi wanted to thank Yami and leave for class, but Yami took a grip on his wrist and dragged him away.

"Come on, we'll be late" Yami told the other teen without glancing back. If he had, he would have noticed the silly grin on Yugi's face. No, Yugi really didn't mind being dragged away. This moment was too early over for Yugi's liking as Yami was in an other class as he.

Yami loosened his grip on the other's hand and waved at the younger youth before he ran for his class. Yugi looked in his class and to his luck the teacher wasn't ready yet. He felt guilty and hoped that Yami also made it in time. After all it would be his fault. (to Silentia: hope the fluff was more realistic ^^)

Yugi barely heard his classmates talking. But one sentence caught his attention.

"Did you hear about the dance today . I really hope he will ask me out ." The rest wasn't interesting for Yugi anymore.

'A dance. A dance. A DANCE. A DANCE. I would love to go . and I may can ask Yami .' Yugi was unsure, but this would be perfect timing. He smacked himself mentally for forgetting the dance today. Anyway, he always wanted to go on a dance and for the first time there is a little chance he can go with the person he loved even if it would be just 'as friends'

It took Yugi the whole day to make his decision. 'Ask him out . don't ask him out .' Yugi thought. But with the end of his last period his mind was made up. He would ask Yami out.

As soon as the bell rang Yugi jumped from his seat and raced out to catch up with Yami. He nearly ran in a few people and fell over twice, but he managed to reach Yami's locker in time.

Yugi slowed down when he reached Yami who was putting books in his locker. He haven't noticed Yugi yet. Adrenalin is running through Yugi's veins and he could hear his heart pounding. He bit his lip nervously. 'Should I really ask' Yugi berated himself, but there was no turning back now, because Yami noticed Yugi and flashed him a beautiful smile.

"Hey Yugi, how are you?" Yami asked sweetly. Yugi nearly melted at the spot. This was just to much for him to bear. But this was a now or never situation.

"I'm f-i-ne Yami, thank you. Ahem, can . I . I . I a-sk yo-uuu something?" Yugi stuttered, his nervousness visible.

"Sure. Shoot" Yami replied politely.

"You know. Ehh . today there is . a . a dance ... and . I . I wo-ndered I-f youuu wanted to go . with ...... me." There he said it. Yugi felt like a mountain is lifted from his heart, but at the same time he felt so unbelievable stupid.

"Sure. That would be fun. I'll pick you up at 8 pm. Is that alright with you?" Yami told the younger teen, who seemed to not understand the meaning of the words. His mouth hang open and his eyes are big. He was able to nod slowly, still not believing that he was going with Yami. HE was going with YAMI. HE was GOING with YAMI.

Yugi was lucky that Yami didn't seem to notice Yugi's drool or he just ignored it, because he just waved and called a quick "goodbye. See you then" when he left. (to Yana5: See Yugi was brave with Yami, like I promised ^^)

Yugi on the other side was thrilled. It took him a few minuets to figure out what exactly happened. When he did he smiled brightly, one could think his face split. His eyes were sparkling with true happiness. The short teen raced home to decide what to wear today. There wasn't much time. He only has 5 hours left.

Translations: HAI: yes, Ok IE: No

So here is the chapter. I think there are 2 or 3 chapters left. I apologize for rushing things, but I want to work on other fics soon. Anyway I hope you enjoyed it. I think I will finish this story within this week, because I want to do my YxY V-day-fic and start a new YxY story soon ("The power of a wish"). I have more time this week, because there is 1 week NO SCHOOL - vacation!!!! I also post the first part of the V-day-fic today. Be warned the first part is very OOC, but fluff is coming! ^^ Thank you all.

So this his nearly the last chance to vote for the next fic if you haven't already.

The power of a wish: Yugi is watching the new show Yu-Gi-Oh! and wishes for a new friend and the Anime-Character Yami shows up. (7 votes so far)

Carpe diem - Nütze den Tag: Yami has to attend school with Yugi. Yami doesn't like the idea. Yugi, on the other side, is more than exited. Probably he is now able to tell Yami that he loves him?! (Nütze den Tag is German - I couldn't resist to write something in my language; Carpe diem is Latin; in English it's 'seize the day' (Thank you to Katya Motou) (Both mean: Live every day like it is your last so you don't have to regret something) (3 votes so far)

Depression: Yami feels like Yugi doesn't care about him anymore (dark fic). But is this true? Or has Yugi just problems with his feelings towards Yami?! (Happy ending possible and if you know me . ^^ I love happy-ending and I'm not sure if I could do a sad one .) (3 votes so far)
