Thank you estie. I've never used cesium. My friend told me about it and they sell it on ebay. I just thought it was an interesting element ^_^. I hope I get to use it when I go into chemistry. O_o…maybe sodium would be a better choice. Thanks though!

Please don't kill me for this chapter….I'm really sorry. I promise that it is a Yami/Yuugi. But for now, it is somewhat y/s. This is for the sake of the plotline!!! I'm sorry…U.U.

Just a warning, there is a lot of seto/yami lime here. Dun like it, follow up later and assume what happened.

Disclaimer: Dun own it.

Antithesis in the Stars

I think its time to talk with you

I think its time to realize

where is the love?

Are we gonna stay together

or is it time to say goodbye

where is the love?

            Yami looked around in disdain. Where was Yuugi now? He could've sworn that his hikari was there, moments before. He looked everywhere for a sign of Yuugi. None was present except for a fading scent. Finally disconcerted, he flopped down onto the bench and started to cry for the second time that day. The sparkling stars seemed to mock him as he cried. He started to yell out hoarsely,

            "Why!? Why is my destiny so Ra-damned horrid? Is this what happened in my past!? Is this what I am sentenced to in my future lives!? To be within the grasp of love and have it escape my clutch!? Only to find out later that the one I adored loved me as well? Is that it!?" He fell to the ground on his knees, uncontrollably sobbing now. No one had seemed to hear him and he was glad. Crying was only natural now. He didn't hear the footsteps behind him as the padded feet walked towards him. The figure hovered above him and crouched down. The smell of spice and cinnamon drifted from him. 'This isn't the smell of Yuugi…' Strong broad arms enclosed him in a deep embrace. A chin hit his shoulders and hair brushed against his cheek. Yami was about to protest but a voice silenced him. "I know your pain…" The voice was familiar but distant. He relaxed into the hug and wrapped an arm around the other's neck. For minutes they sat like that, totally lost in each other's mind. It was wrong for Yami yet it felt so right at the moment. A soft pair of lips began attacking the side of his neck. The pharaoh moaned and tilted his head, allowed more of the delicious flesh to be exposed. The hungry lips devoured his skin and Yami didn't mind at all. He was lost in the new senses and that was all he cared about at that time. The hands holding him ran up and down his chest. Yami arched into his assaulter and moaned loudly, "..m..more…" A rich peal of laughter flooded his ears. He scowled and tightened the arm around his attackers neck. His fingers began to toy with the rich, satiny strands of hair. The hands on his chest moved slightly lower. Yami shifted himself to let the hands go further to his straining pants.

Give me a reason..to hold on to what we've got

must be a reason...to hold on to what we've got

            To tease even more, the hands returned to his chest. Yami groaned and subconsciously ground his hips against the other's. His actions were rewarded with a cry.  He repeated and felt how much the other wanted him. The wandering hands started to go downwards, tantalizingly and making him want even more. The finally got to their destination and stopped. Feather-soft touches ran over the bulge in his pants. Yami bit back a groan and sighed. He let his head relax onto the shoulder behind him. Teasingly, the nimble hands continued their torture. His hips trust up, trying to get more of the sweet contact. One hand snaked its way into his leather pants. Yami widened his eyes and gasped as the warm fingers grasped his arousal. 'This isn't right…this isn't right at all. I can't do this to Yuugi. I must stop…but it feels so good..' He moaned as the hand began moving up and down his shaft. He pushed away his would be lover. Turning around slowly, he faced deep blue orbs he found himself lost in. "Seth…" The person nodded. Sable bangs with a slight sheen of sweat formed a dark cloud above his forehead.

            "It's been a long time, pharaoh, hasn't it?"

            Yami could only nod. Crestfallen, he looked at Seto sadly. "It's been far too long since we've been together…"

            "Yes…" Silence passed between the two reunited lovers. "Well, it's getting late. We'd best e going home. I'll take you home." He nodded and followed after Seto.

            The limo pulled up in front of the Kame game shop. Yami walked outside with teary eyes. "Seto…I.."

            "Shhhhh. I know. It's late." He kissed him softly on the cheek.

            "…Shukrah…" Seto nodded and stepped back inside the limo. The white car took off.  Grandpa sleepily opened the door. "Where have you been?"

            Yami lowered his glance. "I was at the park. I'm sorry it took so long for me to get back."

            "It's fine. You look a whole lot happier but you seem even sadder.." Yami shook his head and explained it was probably just the lighting.

Time has come to set things right

is it worth another fight?

Tell me the truth

Is there something on your mind?

Tell me what you hind inside..

tell me the truth

            In the night sky, Yuugi felt a like a huge blade had just sliced away half of his gut. He looked down. His body was still whole but to him, it seemed like his lower half was gone. 'What? What is this feeling. It feels like I'm dying…' With a weak cry, the seraph plummeted to the ground. He hit the ground but didn't bounce. Once bright amethyst irises were beginning to dull slightly. His pupils were completely dilated in  pain and his mouth gaped open. Small hands were buried in his garment on his chest. 'My heart…' A burning sensation spread from his heart. With the last ounce of strength, he called upon hidden reserves of power. Instantly, he appeared at Ryou's front door. After about a few minutes of not reacting, he managed a weak, "Ryou…" The white haired boy was home and heard him and came rushing out. He saw the dead looking angel on the ground and was very worried. Extending a hand, he ran his fingers over Yuugi's face. "Yuugi-kun, what happened? You look very shook-up!" No sound came out when he tried to speak. However, something like a ghost of a tear sparkled at the corner of his eye. Ryou shifted his hand from the tangible features of his face to the wings on his back. They did not seem solid. "…Yuugi, what happened?"

            "I…I don't really know…" A small trickle of vinaceous fluid dropped down from his mouth. Carefully, Ryou wiped it away with his finger. 'Blood? Of an angel? Is tthat even possible?' He returned his thoughts to Yuugi and lifted him up with ease. "Yuugi, I'm going to bring you inside." Yuugi nodded. Bakura watched from the window near the door. He shook his head and sighed. This was another abnormality. Ryou set Yuugi on the couch in the living room and sat down on another chair across from him. Bakura retreated from his view and walked in. He shut the door behind him. Walking leisurely, he pulled Ryou up from his seat and sat down. Confused, Ryou gave a yelp when Bakura pulled him onto his lap. Yuugi started to recover from the initial shock of pain. Both stared intently at the angel, though more interested in some other activity. Bakura was planting soft kisses down his neck. Ryou stopped Bakura. "Later Baku-chan…Let's sort Yuugi's problem out first…"

            "Feh…fair enough."

/Let him regain some of his energy. Hey Bakura, do you mind leaving, I don't think Yuugi would say the whole thing in front of you. You make him nervous./

//How about no?//

/Please?/

//No.//

To convince his yami, Ryou made his voice as deep and as seductive as possible. /How about for a reward…/

Bakura pushed Ryou off and nodded vigorously. //Hell yes!!!//

            'Phew, that worked.' Yuugi seemed a whole lot gladder after the tomb robber left. His shoulder slumped down and the TV could be heard from the other room. The altruistic boy knelt forward to get a better look at his friend. No more blood was present but his breathing was heavy and erratic. He patiently waited for him to calm down and tell him. Grabbing a book nearby, he began to read. Inside Yuugi's head, millions of thoughts swam around but the clearest were the strongest. 'Why…why did it hurt so bad? Are you with another now, Yami? Do you truly love another now? I wasn't good enough, was I…' Gradually regaining his power back, he groggily sat up. "Ryou.." The reading boy put down his book.

            "Ryou, something happened." Ryou motioned him to continue.

            "I saw Yami in the park."

            "Did something bad happen?" Vehemently, he shook his head.

            "No, he almost saw me but I fled."

            "Then what is ailing you?" Yuugi didn't answer after he was asked. Instead, he leaned forward on his knees and started to sob. Ryou walked over and sat down next to his angelic friend. Wrapping an arm around him shoulders, he comforted the crying angel. When Yuugi looked up again, his face was only slightly wet. "Yuugi…your tears…"

            "…I felt a tremendous pain on my way here. It felt as if my heart was ripped out and sliced into pieces." Crying a little more, he continued on, "…This is bad Ryou…I think he loves another…"

            "Ryou withdrew his hand. Realization hit him like a bullet. 'NO!' "Yuugi…no. He couldn't! He couldn't just give up on you like that! Are you sure?" The fallen angel nodded slightly. "I'm pretty sure…I've felt nothing like it before…"

            "Could it be true? Does he really love another?" With that, Ryou started to cry too. Yuugi lowered his head.

            "Ryou, don't cry for me. This is my problem, not yours. You should not be sad for me…" A stream of tears ran down his cheek.

            "No. Yuugi, don't you see? You two were made for each other, just like Bakura and I…He can't love another…it just isn't right!" Ryou cried out it frustration. Seeing this, Yuugi was not happy at all. The lachrymose situation was now affecting them both and it wasn't a good sign.

            "Ra-damnit all!!! Yami, how could you do this!?" Ryou was furious now, constantly swearing and crying. Bakura swung the door open and walked swiftly over.

            He demanded, "What's going on!? Why are you crying koi!?"

            Ryou looked sadly into his lover's eyes. "…because…" He explained all of it. After hearing the whole explanation, Bakura's eyes softened considerably. He walked over to Yuugi and without thinking, hugged the surprised boy. He whispered, only allowing Yuugi to hear, "I'm sorry." Yuugi was in a daze. Bakura, of all people, had just apologized for something he was not responsible for. It sounded completely sincere and how much he actually cared. He muttered and sat down in a chair next to Ryou.

            "It's time baka no pharaoh knows about him…" Ryou just looked at him. "Bakura…do you think that's right? Is that truly the right thing to do?"

            "…No." The yami's lover put his hand onto his arm.

            "Then why would you do it?"

            "…I don't know. It isn't right watching Yami with another lover. It just isn't right! I could never look at him again if that actually happened…" Ryou leaned his head against Bakura's shoulder.

            "Let it work out on its own. I know it should…"

Yuugi looked devastated. As if in a reverie, he wasn't focused on anything in particular. His mouth was a closed and a few tears still lingered on his eyelashes.

            "Oh Ra, he can cry now? This is more complicated than I thought."

            /What's wrong, love?/

            //Nothing's wrong. It just seems Yuugi is so close to life…yet so far. It's sad seeing him like this. Not belonging anywhere. Heaven doesn't accept him because of what he died for. Anubis will not lead him through Duat because he cannot. He's in between two worlds.//

            /You're right…poor child…He's so lost and there's nothing we can do for him./

The pair sighed. Yuugi was only a lost soul in this cruel world, a victim of love. Love was merciless. It could be either the worst or the best thing in the world. //Love sometimes does so much good for you that you can't believe it. But other times, it is the worst pain in life…//

            /I know…but for ours and hopefully for Yuugi's, it's the best thing that's ever happened./

            //Yes…but we don't know things will turn out that way.//

            Early that morning, Yami had slept a little bit. It was valentines day…that meant another day of sorrow. It would've been the day he confessed his feelings to Yuugi. Sighing, he leapt off the bed to dress.

            Seto paced around at school. As usual, he was very early. Only a few teachers had arrived at his time. Biting his lip nervously, he glanced around. Yami still hadn't arrived and wouldn't for a few good hours. With nothing left to do, he returned to his locker. Scoffing, he removed the card and candies taped onto his locker. Not even bothering to read what some girl had sent him, he threw it into the trash behind him. Dialing in his combination, he swung his locker open. "Good. Everything is perfect." Smirking, he shut the door. Blowing out a puff of air that fluttered his brown bangs, he leaned against his locker. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a timid blonde come into view. Shuffling slightly, she approached him.

            "M..m.rm..Mr. Kaiba-sama?" Kaiba grunted and didn't look up. The girl pulled out something from her backpack. It was a rose and candies. "Th..these..ar.are f.f…for ..you." He didn't make any move to receive them. ".Mr. Kaiba-sama?" With an annoyed huff, he stood up to his full height.

            "Look girl, I don't have time for this." He stormed off, leaving the girl. Yami and Anzu entered the main building. In her hand, she already held a red rose. Blushing furiously, she continued walking. Yami on the other hand, had kept his saturnine face and wasn't blushing at all. He smirked. His target had finally arrived. Behind them, Jou walked, laughing at a pissed off Honda. He had probably gotten shot down again.

Time has come to set things right

is it worth another fight?

Tell me the truth

Is there something on your mind?

tell me the truth

           School had ended rather quickly. Kaiba found himself drowning in love letters, candies and flowers from various girls. Yami found himself with several as well. However, Jou and Honda had none. This was the time to make his move. He tailed Anzu and Yami until they arrived at the Kame game shop. He motioned for his driver to stop and stepped out of the white car and stepped in.

            "Seto? What are you doing here? The sign says closed. Grandpa isn't here today…"

            "Well, that makes my plan a lot easier," he muttered under his breath. He walked up to Yami, towering over the king of games. From inside his coat, he produced a bouquet of red roses and a box, lined with crimson velvet. He swooped down and captured Yami's lips in gentle, yet demanding kiss. He pulled back and whispered in the pharaoh's ear, "Happy Valentine's Day…my pharaoh…"  Yami gaped at Seto.

            "Wh..what?" Seto stared at Yami, admiring the lightly tanned skin and shocked expression on his face.

            "It's been too long since we've been…together…" Yami oh'ed and relaxed. Kaiba linked their arms together and led him up the stairs. At the top he looked into the crimson eyes of Yami. It was a breathtaking sight.

            "Since grandpa isn't here…" Yami, as if in a trance, obediently followed Seto. Once the curtains were drawn, Seto lit a candle on Yuugi's bedside table. Gently, he pushed Yami down onto the mattress. Working quickly, he divested them both. In a daze, Yami was not very responding.

Are there things i should know?

Will you stay or will you go?..

Where is the love?..

Tell me is there hope inside?

Gotta read between the lines..

where is the love?

            Yuugi flicked his tongue against Yami's mouth. Moaning, the pharaoh eagerly granted entrance to his lover. "You're beautiful, you know that?" The boy on his chest blushed furiously.

            He woke up from his dream to find Seto nipping and sucking his throat.  Arching his back, he moaned. 'This isn't right…' Half-heartedly, he pushed away his former priest. Kaiba looked at him, confused. "No…" Still not understanding, darkened blue eyes looked at him and studied the sorrowed countenance. "Wha???"

            "Seto…" He stopped and sat up. "I….I can't be with you…not like this, anyway…"  A warm hand stroked his cheek. Yami looked away. "I'm sorry…my h..heart belongs to..another…" Tears started running down his cheek in a river. This was such a horrible thing to say to Seto…especially since they were previously lovers.

            Looking up slightly, he brushed mahogany bangs out of his old love's face. "Seto-kun…remember when I was about to die?" Shaking, he nodded. Yami continued, "I…my…destiny was changed…We were once lovers…" He looked at the sheets beneath him. "Once upon a time, we were bound by the laws of love…" Sobs shook his frail body, "I'm sorry it couldn't turn out the way we wanted it to…" Still trembling, Seto ran a finger through Yami's hair. "Why…why does it have to be this way???" The normally cold boy was even starting to cry. "Why can't I be with you?"

            Still stroking his cheeks and wiping away tears with his thumb, the other replied. "Because…we were once bound by love but everything bound has to be broken…I know it hurts…"

            "Wh…who am I to..love then?"

            "I…I don't know…I am to love Yuugi now…It is truly your choice…"

            "But Yuugi's gone now. Why can't we be lovers?"

            "Because….You…belong with..Jou…" In shock, Kaiba sat down.

            "What?"

            "Seto-kun, you belong with Jou…you are destined to love Jou this lifetime…whether you will do something about it is up to you…" 

            "Why? Why can't you and I be together?"

            "It wasn't our choice. But Seto…perhaps there will be another time for you and me…I'll wait till the end of time for you…I want to be with you again…"

            "But this isn't the time, is it…"

            "No…"

            "I love you, Yami, I always will. I promise I'll wait for you…" He slowly put his clothes on and exited.

T.T …I know…it's a techno song. I like it though. Well, here's a added bonus of a longer chapter. Don't flame me. I didn't do it. R&R!

And so the plot thickens…..
