Hicky: It's short and "sweet" and to the point!

Trent: Hicky doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh, so no suing!

Hicky: ENJOY!

Believe Your Heart, Not Your Eyes

As soon as Dark was back in the Shadow Realm he fled to his room, Celtic hot on his heels.

'Why is he running from me?' Celtic questioned. 'Why won't he listen?' He followed the swift footed mage; down the hall, up the three flights of stairs. He was almost to his room, his hand on the knob. 'Dammit,' Celtic thought as Dark dashed into a barely open door and saw it closing fast. He couldn't get his foot in in time. He had to talk to Dark now. He had to tell him what had happened. But if the door closed his chance closed with it. With no second thought, he dismissed his first idea and jutted his hand out; holding it for a moment between the door and the frame before..... He cried out. A scream of utter agony. He could have sworn more than half of the bones in his hand were broken. But he didn't try to remove his hand. He couldn't. It was grossly wedged between the wood.

Dark jumped back from the door he had just slammed, and again as the pained cry reached his ears. He desperately grabbed at the knob, and wretched the door open. His eyes followed Celtic as he fell to his knees and held his right hand with his left. Dark's eyes went to the injured hand, bent, broken and bleeding. No matter how heartbroken he felt, there was no way he could not partially feel the pain, imagine it in some small way. Without thinking he knelt down too, a hand reached out to lightly caress Celtic's pain.

Celtic pulled away. It hurt so much, but still not as much as it had hurt him to see Dark running from him. He shuffled himself into Dark's room and shut the door with his good hand before leaning back against it and groaning loudly.

"Give me your hand..." Dark said, trying to hold back the tears, just at seeing what Celtic had done. 'Why did I slam the door? Why?!'

Celtic hesitated but his trust for the mage was strong and he welcomed whatever help Dark could give. As his hand found its place in Dark's pain went rushing through Celtic's entire body and he had to grip hard at the rug, his teeth tightly clenched. Another hand on top, pressure, pain, so much pain. Then warm, and tingling, and what felt like torture as the magic placed the bones in their proper spots, re-making those that had shattered. He screamed out all the pain, not holding any back.

Tears pricked at Dark's eyes. He knew he could fix the problem but not ease the pain at the same time; it was one or the other. It took so long, so many little shards of bone to be re-fitted under the skin and flesh.

When it was over Celtic still dared not move his hand. He rubbed away the pain-brought tears and looked to Dark who had crawled several feet back; giving him space; backing away; he didn't know.

"Why did you do that?" Dark asked, trembling slightly.

"I had to talk to you. I couldn't let the door close..." His eyes slowly moved to his hand which he finally dared to clench; slowly closing it into a fist, then opening it, repeating several times.

"You don't have to explain... I understand-" Dark choked out. Sobs returning to his throat, and tears to his eyes.

Celtic looked at this rather annoyed. Dark was falling apart and it wasn't even him who had been raped. "Obviously you don't!" he said rather harshly.

Dark looked at him confused. What did Celtic mean? He had seen it with his own eyes. He saw those chains, but he didn't think of force or rape; he thought that maybe that was what Celtic liked.

"Dark... I can't imagine what's going through your mind, but I can say with certainty that it is not what you think..."

Dark sniffed once. He dragged the back of his hand across his eyes. "What do you mean?"

"Well. Considering what really happened, you shouldn't be the one freaking out- No, don't speak. Listen. Chaos-"

Dark turned his face away, as if trying to hide from the name, that evil name that plagued his dreams, his world, and his still-to-come nightmares.

"Dark, you fool. What Chaos did... it wasn't welcome... it wasn't wanted... it was rape... he raped me..."

Dark's face snapped back to face Celtic; eyes no longer showed signs of pain or heartbreak. They burned with anger and hatred, and swam with caring for the elf. He moved closer, crawling on all fours until he was next to the elf. "He did what?!" Dark asked.

"Dark, I would never, not in any life, world, or even dream would I be unfaithful to you. Dark I- I love you," Celtic almost whispered as his healed hand went up to trace a tear-stained trail on Dark's beautiful face.

"Celtic, I.. Oh Gods! I love you more than anything!" He threw his arms around the elf, holding him tightly to his body. "And I- I will teach Chaos a lesson for what he did..."

"Dark..." Celtic let his head fall onto Dark's shoulder and closed his eyes.

Dark turned his head and pressed his lips to Celtic's temple, but before he could finish this small gesture Celtic pulled away.

Celtic looked into Dark's eyes again which were confused, and in them he saw his own eyes; the scared, grief-stricken, feline eyes that were glazed over in remembrance. Chaos had Dark's lips, and consequence Dark had Chaos's...

Hicky: I'm evil, I'm evil, I'm evil. I'm really, really evil, I'm evil, I'm evil! lol

Trent: Cliff-hanger?

Hicky: That's right!!!!! Mwahahahaha! And another chapter for the Bastard Chaos Mage next!

Trent: How do you feel about Chaos Hicky?

Hicky: Me? Aw, he's fine... lol. That rape was not only my first lemon but it also wasn't designed for this fic... and it was written in August! Do you know how hard it is to fit that many chapter together and such?

Trent: No Hicky, I'm a block, I don't write.

Hicky: Okay! Chaos is cool! You don't know him! Oops, let's secrets slip... oh, and Dragon C. Chan, you along with, Alona the Evil Authoress, zip, Nelara, Kobura Doragon , Witty Phantom, lupusdragon, Chaos Mage, AndreAla Rae and LeoBubbleGum are the reason that Gaia is gay... also I'm a yaoi obsessed homomaniac. Heh, half of you guys are friends of mine of muses... maybe without knowing it...

Trent: READ THIS READ THIS! Heh! If you give Hicky a little description of yourself she may just draw a chibbi 'author w/ reviewers' pic... but if she already knows what you look like (Leebub and Nelara) you don't have too, or if you don't wanna be in her pic.

Hicky: Oh! And I eventually will probably do alternate chapters for people... like Celtic and Twilight... Gaia and Twilight, even though I think it is freakishly wrong... but they will probably be one chap lemons... anyone have a problem with that? I thought not.

Trent: But she has lots of this planned... so you'll have to wait.
