A/N: (1/19/08) Still in the process of updating this fic. So, I'm revising this chapter as well as the next two. I'm deleting all previous reviewer replies, though, and saving them until the end of this fic. Again, sorry! I just don't want to clutter up the page with text.

Disclaimer: The author doesn't own Yuugiou. If she did, wouldn't she be living in style up in Japan, writing more manga? Does she? I don't think so.

The sunlight streamed over the shining walls of Domino City, and seemed to stop on a certain game shop. Inside this game shop was an old man, a young boy and… a spirit. Said spirit was pacing outside the bathroom door, muttering under his breath. But from inside the bathroom, a voice called.

"Yami, you're going to wear a hole in the carpet! You'll have plenty of time once I'm done."

"Today has to be perfect! I have no time to waste," Yami growled, "It's like my motto!"

"What, always believe in the heart of the cards?" Yuugi asked, puzzled.

"No, the other one!" Yami exclaimed, getting into the groove.

"Uhm… friends are like rosebuds: shy and innocent on the outside, but bright, lovely, full of energy, and distinctive on the inside?"

"No, that's Tea's. Remember the one I told you the last time Marik and Malik came over?"

"Oh. That one. Don't waste time; you'll either end up killed, or slave to a certain blond Egyptian. Right, Yami?"

Yami snickered. "And it doesn't mean a mind slave either…"

Yuugi sweat dropped. "What kind of slave then?" he asked innocently.

Realizing what he just said, he decided his hikari was too young to know. "Never mind... It's not important," he said surreptitiously. "Now let me in! I need to get ready!"

Yuugi sighed, and relented. "Ok, but I get it back once you're done," he said, but he knew his protests fell on deaf ears. "I haven't even spiked my hair yet!"

However, hearing the sound of the hairdryer, he gave it up as a lost cause.Yami would be in there FOREVER. Maybe he could use Tea's bathroom?

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

A white blur shot out of the bedroom and into the arms the spirit of the Sennen Ring.

"BAKURA! The clothes rack!!" he shrieked, sobbing, in only a towel and a pair of socks.

Sighing, Yami Bakura awkwardly patted his hikari on the head, while trying not to stare. "There,there, my girly hikari, it's ok. Now, do you want to tell me what happened?"

Lower lip beginning to tremble, Ryou glanced down at his socks. "It... it attacked me... all I was trying to do was to reach the sweater on top, you know, the yellow v-neck one? And I couldn't reach, so I got mad, and started jumping, and trying to get it, and... and... IT ATTACKED ME!!!! I SWEAR!! It just fell straight down on top of me, and now everything's wrinkled, and I don't have time to iron, and I'M DOOMED!! HE'S GOING TO THINK I'M A MESSY SLOB! You hear that, Bakura, a SLOB!!"

Bakura rolled his eyes. "Is that it? It's your fault, you realize. You should have asked me to get it for you. And I am SO not paying for it to get fixed."

"But… but… you know I didn't MEAN to… it's just that…" Ryou broke down crying. "Oh, Yami, I just have to tell you. I'M PREGNANT!"

… ::thud::

The white haired teen peered through his tear-stained eyelashes, curious as to what had made the sound and why Bakura wasn't talking.

To his shock and dismay, his yami was passed out on the floor.

Ryou leaned down, and put his ear to his Yami's chest. His pale face turned even paler when he realized he had no heartbeat! There was only one thing left to do.

Shaking, he lowered his face to Bakura's, and put a hand on his prostrate Yami's chest. Ryou pursed his lips, and began the decent.

I opened my eyes, and looked up to see my hikari... Or rather, my hikari's lips.

'What in the name of Ra!' I thought, and quickly clenched my eyes shut. Was he going to KISS me?

I thought for a couple of seconds, (which was really all I had) and decided.

Blood and ashes, I might as well go through with it. It couldn't hurt, could it?

---

Their lips met, and Ryou reached with his other hand to pinch Bakura's nose. He breathed out into his dark's mouth, and pumped his chest three times.

When he went back to complete the process, he was startled to see Yami Bakura's scowling face, glaring at him.

Ryou blinked cutely. "What, haven't you seen mouth to mouth resuscitation before?" he inquired.

Bakura still scowled. "Why?" he demanded.

"You… didn't have a heartbeat... I thought…" Ryou bit his lip, and rocked back on his heels a bit.

Suddenly, Bakura erupted into laughter. "Oh, that's rich. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! My poor widdle aibou was worried that I didn't haveaheartbeat! Ohohohohohoho!" he shrieked, tears pouring out of his eyes.

"I was worried, I thought you were dead! Stop trivializing it!" Ryou snapped.

Calming down, Bakura replied, "Ryou. I'm a 5000 year old spirit. Did you really expect me to have a heartbeat when I'm already dead?"

Ryou felt stupid. "I uh… well you see…" he stammered.

Bakura looked up seductively from his position on the floor. He was going to have to gamble on the off chance that…

"Ryou, did you just conveniently forget that? If you had wanted an excuse to kiss me, you should have just asked."

He leapt up, with speed he hadn't even known he possessed, and pinned his light against the creamy wall of the living room. "Hmm… must be my tomb robbing reflexes," he mused.

Ryou looked up at him, wide-eyed. "Wh-what…" he asked, uncertainly.

Bakura looked at him critically. "Ryou, if your eyes got any wider, you'd look like the Pharaoh's host."

Ryou blushed, towel slipping a bit lower on his hips. "Bakura, I…"

Yami Bakura silenced his thoughts with a passionate, full bore kiss. Ryou submitted to his dark's will, relaxing into the kiss. But then he stiffened.

Noting the change, Bakura stopped. "What's wrong?" he asked, eyes full of concern.

Ryou looked lost, and Bakura saw it. "Shh. It's ok. I understand," he sighed. "Is… he more important to you than I?" he asked, pure, unaltered emotions displayed in his deep brown wells.

"I'm… not sure. Bakura, will you excuse me?" Ryou asked, and took his leave, head bowed.
