Chapter 9:

Yugi gave out a slight yawn. "The bed smells different. It has a different scent than my bed." He thought. He looked beside him. There was Yami, sleeping on the chair beside him.

"He watched me last night?"

Yugi looked outside, it was dawn. He got off the bed as quiet as possible as not to wake up his sleeping pharaoh.

Opening the curtains more, he breathed the scent of the dawn of Egypt. Oh how he loved his country.

"Yugi?"

"Huh?"

"You awake?"

"Yeah. Thanks for everything Yami."

"No problem at all."

"Uhh... Yami?"

"What is it?"

Yugi paused for a moment, he was hesitating if he would say it or not. "Yami, who am I really?"

Yami's eyes widened with curiosity. "Why do you ask that? Of course you are Yugi." Yugi shook his head. "No. I mean, my past. Who am I? I don't remember anything at all except who I am, my parents, although I forgot their names, and the pain that I felt once when I was a slave."

"Do you remember the reason why you were in a slave market in the first place?" Yami asked. He was really puzzled. Why would Yugi suddenly ask these kind of questions?

Yugi looked down, closed his eyes, and shook his head. "I don't remember. I was found on the outskirts. They look me in. But because they found out that I am no use to them, they sold me to some men. After I was tied up, everything was black."

Yami stood up and walked towards Yugi. He placed a caring hand at Yugi's shoulder, unable to think of what to say at the depressed boy.

"I don't know what to do anymore Yami."

The record! Yami remembered the record. He was only able to see Yugi's biodata. He didn't pay attention to the others.

"Yugi, I think I might be able to help you." Yugi looked up at him. "Really?" "Really." "How?" "I have a record of the citizens of Egypt. I saw your biodata. Maybe there's a biodata about who your parents are."

Yugi's face lit up. "Really?! I want to know!" Yami giggled. "Easy there little one. You have not fully recovered yet. Now is not the time to get all jumpy."

"I'm not that little." Yugi pouted. Yami laughed at him before getting the book. They both scanned the book looking for the names.

"Mouto..."

"Mouto..."

The two laughed as they said the same things. "Here it is. What? You're the only one on the list, Yugi. No mother or father's name. It just says that they are both dead and - "

Yami stopped as he noticed that Yugi was choking back his tears. He closed the book and hugged Yugi gently. "It's alright."

"But... I'm all alone now. No one. . . c-cares . . . for me." Yugi said as he let the tears to freely flow down his tears. Yami pulled the boy closer. Seeing him cry is enough to make his heart break down. A small smile crept on his lips.

He do love Yugi.

He understands it now.

All of it.

He need to say it to him while he had the time. He only hoped that the boy felt the same way.

"You're wrong, Yugi. They may be dead. But they will always be alive in your heart. You will never be alone. You have your mother and father alive in your heart, and you will always have me."

"You?" Yugi choked back a tear. "You promise?" Yami nodded as he faced Yugi. "I promise."

Yugi smiled and hugged Yami tightly. "Thank you so much, Yami."

Yugi's POV

The same question that have been bothering my heart and mind came again.

Why do Yami care so much?

Why?

It disturbs me greatly. I was deadly curious why. I know that I asked him before, but he didn't answer me. I shouldn't let it bother me since I'm just a slave and he's my master, but still . . .

Then why do you keep on asking yourself about it? It seems you have feelings for the PHARAOH.

Do I?

I think you do. I even think that you love him. You have always been denying it.

These voices from my heart. What are you saying to me? What is your point?

I won't say it straight. But you'll find out yourself. Here's a hint. Listen to me. I am your heart. What lies deep within me is your real feelings for Yami. Seek it and you will find out. Open the door to your heart and let the feelings go out.

Open the door to my heart? My real feelings for Yami? I don't understand. What do I really feel?

Open the door to your heart Yugi Mouto. Open it and you shall find the answers to your feelings.

The door. . .

My door . . .

I shall open it.

I opened he door to my heart as I closed my eyes searched deep into my heart . . . where all my feelings, emotions, and memories were kept and hidden.

I saw Yami. . . it was back in Saudi Arabia. I saw his eyes. They were full of worry. These worried eyes cares a lot for me. How his eyes show pain and worry pierced my heart badly.

Yami . . .

I love you.

NORMAL STORY. . .

"Yugi?"

Yami noticed that Yugi seems to be lost in thought. He shook Yugi a bit, causing him to go back to his senses.

"Yami?" "Is anything wrong, Yugi?"

Yugi snapped back into reality. Now that he knows his real feelings for Yami, he got the courage to ask him the question once again.

"Why do you care for me so much, Yami?"

Silence.

"I wouldn't take any forms of silence now. Please answer me Yami." Yugi closed his eyes tightly. What happened next was something that he never imagined.

Yami suddenly pulled Yugi in a passionate kiss. Yami was surprised that Yugi didn't shove him away, but he kept his silence for a few seconds before answering.

"It's because I love you Yugi. I love more than you can ever imagine." Yami said between the kiss.

Yugi was totally dumbstrucked! The person that he loves, loves him all the same. He ever expected this. Especially since the man he love is that pharaoh of all Egypt.

As they parted, Yugi stared at Yami's crimson eyes. "Is it true, Yami?" When he received a nod from Yami, he burst into tears once again and hugged Yami tightly.

"I love you too, Yami. I'm so happy. Yami I love you!"

Yami smiled before hugging him back tightly.

For the two of them, this is the greatest day of their life . . .

Together in each other's arms . . .

Not to worry about anything . . .

. . . or so they thought.
