Jounouchi didn't know what to do. Melt into Kaiba's hold, or keep up the façade and push him away. But when he felt hot tears on his back, he know he couldn't push Kaiba away. Instead he pulled away, and held his arms out for Kaiba. Kaiba accepted Jounouchi's arms of comfort and latched on like Jounouchi was a lifeline. Jounouchi knew what to do for he had done his for Shizuka before, and Kaiba was no different. "Silly, snooty bastard." Jounouchi said in a teasing way. He didn't know if he could be mean to Kaiba ever again. Kaiba soon quit crying. He looked up at Jounouchi starting to apologize. But Jounouchi wouldn't let him. "No need, Kaiba… everyone cries, including me and you." Kaiba blinked up at Jounouchi, he only smiled and released Kaiba from his hold, and went outside with a vase in hand.

And we stare each other down
like victims in the grind
Probing all the weakness and

~Back with Ryou and Bakura~

hurt still left behind and we cry
The tears of pearls
We do it. Oh we do it.

Bakura wanted to ravish Ryou right then and there! He didn't care if they were in the kitchen. Bakura then forced Ryou onto the floor. Ryou was taken aback, and was blushing. "What does my Hikari have to say for himself." Ryou smiled, leaned up and whispered something in Bakura's ear. Bakura then picked Ryou up and went to the bedroom. Bakura then laid Ryou down. "Ryou… why after all that I've done to you?" Ryou smiled. "I look past that, and see you for who you are." Bakura nearly started to cry. "Oh Ryou… I…" Bakura couldn't say it like that. He just couldn't, but he noticed that Ryou knew what he was going to say. Bakura then began to peel off, Ryou's silk shirt. "And dressed like this just for me?" Ryou nodded. "Only you."

*Gomen I have to cut in right here.*

Is love really the tragedy the way you
might describe?
Or would a thousand lovers

still leave you cold inside?
Make you cry...
These tears of pearls

All these mixed emotions
we keep locked away like stolen pearls
Stolen pearl devotions we
keep locked away from all the world

*okay end of that*

Bakura fell of to the side and grabbed Ryou and brought him closer. "Mine!" Ryou smiled again, for that was the really the only way at the moment Bakura could say

Your kisses are like pearls,
so different and so rare
But anger stole the jewels away

~Motou residence~

Yugi woke up and saw Yami asleep, he didn't realize that Yami had woken up earlier and saw him. He wriggled out of Yami's arms and went into his own soul room. Then got up and left his real room, and when down stairs, to get something to eat.

and love has left you bare,
Made you cry...
These tears of pearls

~Yami's POV~

I woke up realizing Yugi wasn't sleeping with me anymore. I knew that he was eating so I materialized behind him. "Ohayo Yugi." I felt Yugi smile. He turned to me. "Ohayo, Yami." I moved closer and saw what Yugi was eating. It was something simple it was cereal. "Not that hungry huh?" I asked and Yugi nodded. I wasn't hungry either, so I just watched my cute Hikari."

Well I could be the tired joker
pour my heart to get you in

~Back with Kaiba and Jounouchi. Jounouchi's POV~

The reason I went outside which was not to long ago… I think. I was going to make a bouquet for no reason. I grabbed some shears, so I could cut them. And another reason was because so I could get away from Seto. He was beginning to affect me. I hope he got control of himself. Damn I never thought that I would see Kaiba Seto cry! Or that he would look to me for comfort…. Also telling me he went through the same thing I did. So that's where he got those scars well I know his adoptive father is dead. It's really a nice morning. Which reminds me, I really must water the flowers. So I go over to the hose, I set down the vase, and the shears. I picked up the hose and turned the water on. I went around and watered the plants. I noticed Seto watching me from the window. Man what was with him? God he has that glint in his eyes. It looks like he was admiring my body or something. My normal colored eyes turned to him. I saw slight shock register in his eyes and features, and a pink hue appear on his face, he thought I couldn't see it. I almost couldn't. I smiled to myself, he didn't notice.

Sacrifice my happiness just so I could win
Maybe cry...
These tears of pearls

I went to shut off the water, but not before I filled the vase half way. I picked up the shears, and I then noticed Seto walked outside. "You want?" I asked. He didn't really say much at first. But then "I only want to watch." I just shrugged and let him watch me. I didn't give a damn. I looked through the flowers. Oddly enough I also had herbs here as well. I had nearly everything small trees, to small roses. I'm sure Seto was surprised. Doing these things helps me forget, forget the pain, loneliness, things of that nature. I kinda liked the fact Seto was watchin' me, but yet at the same time I was nervous. I started to cut Bleeding hearts, Lilacs, Lilies, Pansy, Lilies of the valley, and lastly my favorite.. Roses. The Lilacs were a deep purple, and the Pansies, were black. The lily of the valley were white, and the roses were a deep lovely blue with white. As I walked out of the jungle of flowers, I saw Seto go wide eyed. I snickered. I've never seen his eyes so big. "What's the matter Kaiba? Didn't think I liked flowers." Seto nodded his head. Silly Seto I thought. I gave him a sly smile, I think he wanted to walk around in that jungle I called a garden. I just walked passed him into my home.

~At the Ishtar residence~

Malik woke, feeling Marik's warm body next to him. "Ahhh… Marik…" Malik mumbled to the sleeping body. "Aishiteru, Marik." Malik cuddled with his yami. Malik then began to draw patterns on Marik's chest with his finger. "I guess I better get dressed."

~Malik's POV~

If you thinking I did it… Your right. And this time I didn't get wise with him. I put on my hooded tank top, and the pants I usually wear on off school days. I'm going to have to call Ryou later and see how things went. God I know Bakura is going to Marik for telling us… but I chuckle at the thought. I make sure, I'm quiet so as not to wake my yami. I know it's strange, that I'm in love with my insane, and psychotic yami. But he has many sides to him. He does have a bit of a violent side. But I rarely see that side of him. I usually see his loving side, and the insane side. But he can be sweet when he wants to be. But also he can be slightly an etchi (Pervert). But sometimes when he's in that mood he can be quite humorous. On occasion he can get me on the floor laughing my ass off.

I go down stairs and see my sister. She is dark skinned like me, but she has long black hair, and blue eyes. She usually wears a tiara like thing on her head. Isis is really nice, but sometimes she can be a pain. Bu she my sister and she looks after me. "What's for breakfast?" I ask she turns to me with a smirk. "Breakfast? Don't you mean Lunch or Brunch? It's almost noon!" I laughed at this, I didn't look at the clock. Oops… oh well. "Anything you chose. I'll be out for awhile" I nodded as she walked away and to the door. I heard the door close. I begin to raid the fridge. I don't know what I'm going to have. I guess I better make something for Marik as well. I sigh as I begin to take things out for a sandwich.

All these mixed emotions

~With Yami and Yugi~

Yami sat there and watched Yugi doing some of his homework. Yami wanted to know the reason Yugi was sleeping in bed with him. But Yami couldn't ask. I really want to know… "Know what?" Yami looked up, surprised. He know that sometimes Yugi could hear him. "Why… were…you…uhhh" Yami blushed a deep red. "Why were you in bed with me?" It was Yugi's turn to blush now. "I… I" Yami quietly laughed at Yugi's expression. "You looks so cute!" Yami blurted out and Yugi's blushing got worse. Yami leaned over and kissed Yugi's forehead. "My adorable aibou." Yami said quietly. Yugi smiled ~Aishiteru, Yami~ Yami smiled and leaned his forehead against Yugi's. ~Aishiteru, Yugi~ Yugi moved towards Yami and kissed him fully on the lips. Yami put his arms around Yugi. Yami was ready but he knew Yugi wasn't. After the kiss Yugi laid his head on Yami's chest and fell asleep. "Sleep well, Yugi." Yami held Yugi closer as she said those words.

~At Jounouchi's place~

"Damn, Kaiba do you plan to stay all day?" Jounouchi asked, not in a rude way, but questioningly. Jounouchi wouldn't mind Kaiba staying with him, for awhile. Kaiba shrugged. "Don't know, pup." Kaiba seemed surprised that Jounouchi didn't start yelling at him. "Whatever." was all Jounouchi said. He then looked over at the flowers everywhere even the ones he gave Jounouchi. Jounouchi…. I… Kaiba knew that he loved Jounouchi Katsuya.

~Kaiba's POV~

I see Jounouchi working with those flowers. I come up to him and again wrap my arms around him. "Seto!" I heard him yelp. Seto? When did he start calling me by my first name? I really don't care. "Katsuya." I whisper in his ear. I felt him shiver. I laughed loud enough for him to her me. I felt on of his scars. I traced my finger along it. I heard Katsuya moan. I smiled. "You like that, huh?" I felt him stop me, "Please… I can't do this.." He said in a sad tone. "Then just let me hold you." Katsuya let me do that and let go of my wrist. I never knew he had such a grip. It was tighter than I ever felt. It was a stronger grip than what I felt at duelist kingdom! I almost felt like he was going to snap my hand off. But I didn't say anything about it. That silk shirt felt good against my skin. How did that happen anyway? I don't care. Katsuya completely forgot about his flowers. I grabbed the vase, with one arm, and held Katsuya with the other. I placed the vase on the table, I of course dragged my pup with me. "Seto… Doushite? (Why?)… don't you hat-" I cut him off, by kissing him. His lips were soft, and sweet. He tasted like honey. I felt Katsuya's incisors were strangely sharp… I pulled away, I saw the worried look on his face. "What's wrong?" Katsuya said nothing, but he still had that shocked look. "Katsuya…" She shook his head. He didn't push me away he just sat down. "Doesn't Mokuba need you?" Katsuya asked. I can't believe I forgot. "Yes he does, I'll see you later Katsuya." I then walked out the door, but before he handed me a rose form his garden I thanked him, then I left to get home to Mokuba.

We twist and turn where angels burn
Like fallen soldiers we will learn
Once forgotten, twice removed
Love will be the death...
The death of you
