RESPONSES TO REVIEWS:

Yana5: You really think so? Thanks a lot! My hikari is very greatful.

Cherazz22784: Thank a lot! Don't worry! This is a Yami/Yugi chapter!

Yamishadowcat22: Yeah! Ryou is also famous for those puppy eyes towards Baku-chan at RxB fanfic. I wonder on how Ryou fell for the puppy dog eyes. Well... I suppose only my hikari could answer that. (Author: Hey! Even I don't know how! I just wrote it up!)

lostlover1: Well... as for your question... oh... thanks hikari... *reads a piece of paper* Ryou could only read the minds of the people that he is currently seeing. If he doesn't know that, that person is somewhere there, and if he don't know who that person is, he can't read his/her mind. Oh... my hikari also has a question for you. She is asking: what is that ransom? Oh. And don't worry! Ryou will whip Bakura's butt at the right time! My hikari already thought of a good time. Right hikari? (Me: Yep! Maybe at the next chapter or the next next!)

LadySora: We're both glad that you like it! We both ask you to continue to support us. Thank you!

Koishii No Tenshi: Well... here's the update! Do you really think that this fic is great? Thanks!

Yami JK: Well... there you have it, hikari!

Author: Thanks a lot yami!

Yami JK: You're welcome!

Author: I'm actually glad that I got a caring yami like you! Okay. I'll start this chapter.

Chapter 13:

The next day, Yugi woke up because of a sudden explosion. He peeked out of the window and saw that they were building another pyramid. "A pyramid?" He whispered. Yami entered. "Not exactly a pyramid, koi. It's like a storage area for food and grain."

Yugi turned around and smiled to see his love one by the door. He ran towards Yami as their lips locked once again in a passionate kiss. "I didn't get to kiss you goodnight yesterday, Yami. That's why I'm making double." Yugi said as he kissed Yami once again.

Yami's tongue was trying to open Yugi's mouth. Yugi smiled between the kiss before giving Yami the opening he needed. Yami's tongue entered Yugi's mouth, savoring its sweetness.

"I didn't know you could kiss like that, Yugi." Yami said as he smiled. Yugi smiled back. "Neither did I."

"Hey Yugi. See that large pyramid over there?" Yami said as he pointed at a giant golden pyramid. Yugi stared at the sight in awe. "Wow... what about it?" He asked. Yami smiled. "That's my father's tomb. I'm going to visit his grave today. You want to come?" Yami asked.

"G-grave...?" Yugi said, his lower lip quivering. "What's wrong? Afraid of the graves?" Yami asked as he patted Yugi's back. Yugi nodded. "I never liked graves, you know. I can't stand it. I'm scared. And besides, there are traps." Yugi said.

"Don't worry. The high magician and I know the passages. We won't get lost. And besides, I promise you that we would never be seperated. I promise that I would never leave you. Please promise me that Yugi." Yami said. Yugi smiled. "I promise that I will never leave you and we'll be together forever." He promised.

Contented with Yugi's promise, Yami hugged Yugi in a tight embrace. "Shall we?" Yami asked. Yugi silently nodded before going out of the room as Yami told Ryou to call the high magician.

Ryou silently knocked on Bakura's door. He waited patiently for the door to open. Five minutes later, Bakura used his magic to open the door. "What is it? Ryou, right?" Bakura said. Ryou nodded. "The pharaoh wishes you to come with him to the past pharaoh's tomb." "Okay." "I'll be leaving." "Wait." Ryou turned around. "What is it?" For the first time for years, Bakura showed a warm true smile. "You fought well yesterday." He said. Ryou felt a blush creep to his cheeks. He turned away. "Thank you." With that Ryou left the room.

"I'm here." Bakura said as he entered the throne room. He was doing his best to control himself for he might stab Yami with a dagger later. "Would you please come with us to my father's tomb? Or do you have other plans?" Yami asked.

Bakura thought for a while. "I'm sorry my pharaoh but I have plans that cannot be cancelled. Perhaps Marik (the yami) could guide you instead?" he asked. "Hmm... Marik's the second high magician.I suppose he also knows the passages." Yami thought before nodding. "Alright."

Bakura went back to the hidden room when Anzu was waiting. She had he arms crossed with a frown. "Why didn't you agree? That was a good opportunity to eliminate the pharaoh." "I have other plans."

The door opened and Marik came inside. "Hi." He greeted. Boredom all present in his face. "Three words: Eliminate the Pharaoh. You can choose your own method." Bakura said. Marik smirked. "Of course. My pleasure."

"Yami, I'm still scared. I really don't like tombs." Yugi whinned as they were already in front of the tomb. "It's alright, koi. I'm here. And with the skills that Ryou taught you yesterday, I'm sure you could defeat your opponents." Yami said as he kissed Yugi's forehead before entering the tomb.

They passed a lot of traps. Spears, knives, rocks, boulders, and others were on their way. But they managed to pass them all.

"Hn. The pharaoh really has no idea that this tomb will be their grave." Marik thought as he got a gleaming dagger out of his pocket as he walked behind Yami and Yugi.

He raised the dagger up, ready to assassinate Yami and make Yugi join him in his death. Yugi turned around and gasped. "PREPARE TO FACE YOUR DEATH!" Marik exclaimed evilly. Yami turned around. But it was too late. He don't have enough time to cast a protective barrier. He closed his eyes.

"YAMI!"

SLASH!!!

Yami opened his eyes. He gasped. "Yugi!" Yugi stopped the dagger. One hand held the dagger's blade while the other held Marik's arm.

"Why you...!!!" "Yami! Blast him now!" Yugi exclaimed. "Yugi, I can't do that! You'll be hurt too!" Yami retorted. Yugi shook his head violently. "Just do it!" "B-But Yugi...!" "I am aware of the danger, Yami. But there is no other way! I love you and I would do anything for you!" Yugi exclaimed.

"Y-Yugi..."

"DO IT NOW!!!"

"Let me go you brat!"

Yami nodded as the puzzle glowed in bright light. Marik used his free hand to shield his eyes from the light. "I am going to send your soul, and mind to the shadow realm now, Marik! I know that Yugi may be hurt too but I have no choice! MIND CRUSH!!!"

Marik screamed in agony as he felt his soul seperate from his body. The light went out and Marik's body fell down with a thump. Yami searched around for Yugi, but he was not found inside the tomb.

Heartbroken... Yami cried.

He never cried before. Not even once. Not even when his parents died for his friends, Ryou, Jou, Seto, and Malik were always there to comfort him.

But now...

... no one could cure the pain that he is enduring...

Yami slowly went outside the tomb. He kneeled down in the sand and cried his heart out.

"Why Yugi?! Why did you sacrifice yourself for me?! Once I sent someone inn the shadow realm, I can no longer retrieve them back... now I lost you. I lost the only person that I love..." Yami cried with his face by his hands. "We just promised each other... that we would be together forever... Yugi... I love you..."

"And I love you too Yami."

"Yugi...? Is that really you...?"

Yugi nodded as tears fell from his cheeks. "Yes Yami. It's me. A promise is a promise and I intend to keep that promise for the rest of my life."

Yami smiled with joy as he ran towards Yugi and hugged him tightly. "Yugi! I thought I lost you! I thought... I thought..."

"Shh... Yami... what's important is that I'm here. Alive and well. And I love you." Yugi said as he faced Yami and wiped away his tears.

Yami smiled and kissed Yugi passionately. Yugi opened his mouth to give Yami full range of his mouth. Yugi moaned in pleasure as Yami savored ever inch and corner of Yugi's sweet mouth.

The two panted and gasped to get some fresh air. Yami smiled. "Come on Yugi. Let's go back." "Alright."

"Hey Yugi, how did you survive?" Yami asked. Yugi smiled. "I was transported back by the puzzle that you gave me. Let's just say that it's all because of love."

Author's notes: *snif* I made Marik disappear at once. *snif*
