Chapter 3

The next day at school, Yugi was unusually quiet. At break, Jounouchi sat down next to him.

"You alright?" He asked.

"Yeah, fine," Yugi answered, a little too quickly.

"No, really, what's wrong?" Jou asked, as Seto wandered over.

"What's going on?" He asked, "Not that I really care." This earned a sceptical look from Jou.

"Nothing!" Yugi protested, "Nothing at all!" The other two just looked at him, as if daring him to continue to deny his problem.

"Can I help?" Anzu had walked up, unnoticed.

"Go away, Miss Friendshit!" Seto snapped. But Anzu sat down beside Yugi.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"Yami," He muttered, "Yami told me he loves me!"

"WHAT," Anzu shouted, ""Yami's gay?!" //Last time I have a crush on him!//

"Why is that a bad thing?" Seto asked her. He smirked and wrapped an arm around Jou's chest. Jou smiled also and leaned back against Seto. Anzu stared at them in shock and disgust, then got up and ran away.

"Well, we got rid of her!" Jou commented, "Yugi, what's your problem with Yami loving you?"

"Umm.. well.. I don't really know," Yugi whispered. Just then the bell rang and they headed inside.

Yami sat inside the Sennen Puzzle. He had retreated inside shortly after Yugi had left him. Being alone often helped him heal emotional wounds, but this time it just wasn't helping. All Yami could see was Yugi's shocked expression, Yugi pulling away and leaving him. He closed his eyes miserably. // Why can't I get over this? It's simple, Yugi doesn't like me! But, I've never felt this way before, with anyone! Sure, I've had affairs, but those were light. I cared nothing for those women. I do care for Yugi, a lot!// He slumped to the floor and curled up, trying to block the memories.

//Why? Why did I have to change?// He thought, // It was easier before, when I lived to fight and hurt, even kill others. Before I started to care, before... //

(Shut up idiot, you're pathetic!) Yami turned to see Bakura snering at him. (A/N: I have no idea how he got there!)

/How did you get here?/ Yami asked.

(My secret!) Bakura glanced at him, ( What's you're deal? What's causing you to wallow in angst this time?)

/I love Yugi, he doesn't love me./ Yami explained, /And I can't get over it!/

(Huh, looks like you're a lost cause!) Bakura started to fade away. (Sorry, I can't help you) He added, sarcasticly.

Yami was left alone again, with his memories.

Oooo! Yugi's breaking! It's getting suspenseful! The plot thickens! (well, it would, if there was one!)
