Thank you to everybody who reviewed. I'm sorry it took awhile for me to upload, but I've been really busy. I finally came up with some new ideas for the story, though, so I'm excited! But anycow, onto the story!
"I can't believe them," Marik said for about the thousenth time. Bakura yawned and looked over at the yami.
"I know. After all I did for him he had to go and sneak around."
"I thought you said that you knew all along?" Marik asked, puzzled. Bakura stopped and thought about that.
"Of course I did. But this just made it true," he stated plainly and went back to unpacking his clothes. It hadn't even been twelve hours since the two yami's caught their hikari's making out, but things had already begun changing drastically for Bakura.
Him and Ryou had left the party almost immediately, with Marik and Malik following close behind. When Bakura and Ryou reached the apartment they had shared, Ryou had attempted to talk to Bakura, but he wouldn't listen. There really was no point, seeing as the next thing Ryou had said was that Bakura had to move out. When Bakura had asked why, Ryou had explained that Malik was going to come live with him.
And so Bakura had found himself moving in with his former worst enemy. 'It's funny how things turn out...' Bakura thought to himself sadly. In truth, he missed his hikari. He still couldn't accept it; not completely, at least. The yami assumed that Marik was going annoyed. After all, he was already moving on. 'They obviously never had what Ryou and I did,' Bakura thought, then continued moving into his new home.
Kaiba could not remember a day where he had actually been looking forward to going to work. Getting dressed, he smiled to himself. When he saw Tea looking at him strangely, he realized how weird he must have been acting. After all, he was famous for being moody and emotionless. But he couldn't help himself, so much had happened the night before.
At first, and for most of the night, Kaiba had just sat and watched everyone socialize together. Then, finally, right before he was about to announce that they were leaving, Joey Wheeler walked over with his sister Serenity. Seto had acted awkward at first, so he listened to their conversation and tried not to stare at the beauty standing before him. It was when Joey began telling Tea about how Serenity was looking for a fulltime job, Kaiba had thought of a brilliant idea.
He had offered Serenity a job at Kaiba Corp. It was nothing really important. The job couldn't even be compared next to Kaiba's. But when he had told her that he was looking for a new secretary, it had seemed good enough for her. Seto was happy that she had jumped at the chance. Now, every time he went in or out of his office he would get to see her angelic face. Not to mention the fact that there was no reason anyone could be suspicious. Sighing happily Seto continued preparing for another day of work.
Joey was worried. He had never thought that Kaiba had been listening to what he'd been saying about Serenity the night before, and now look what was happening: his little sister had accepted a job to be that bastard's secretary. Joey was not in the least bit happy about it, but, when he thought about it, at least it was money. You had to make some sacrifices.
Joey flinched at the thought. It was Serenity's sacrifice, not his. It was always her sacrifice. Joey kept meaning to try and find himself a job, but he never had time. He just hoped that it wasn't too late to renew his sister's relationship with him. After all, they were all each other had.
'I should probably go look for some work,' Joey thought. Looking over at his sister in the driver's seat, Joey decided that he would go to one of those job search places as soon as he dropped Serenity off for her first day of work. He just hoped that his plan would work.
Yami sighed to himself. In truth, he was extremely disappointed. After all, he had meant to talk to Tea the night before. He really had. He just hadn't managed to do it, especially with Joey being there.
Yami sat on his porch, trying to think of a way to get Tea alone. It was so awkward, now that his feelings for her had become so much stronger. Sometimes it felt like if he didn't shout out his love to the world he might burst. Yami's concentration was broken when his hikari sat down beside him. Yugi was so sensible. He didn't believe in love, or so it seemed. But then again, who knew? Maybe Yugi was just good at hiding things.
When he looked over at him, Yugi smiled. He didn't talk much nowadays, and Yami wasn't exactly sure why. Last night was an exception; he was the host, so he had to make contact with his guests. Yugi patted Yami's hand, then left the Egyptian alone. Just then, a thought occurred to Yami. A brilliant, flawless thought. Tea taught dance. Yami could dance. Getting off the porch, Yami hopped in his cars and started driving towards Yukari's Dance Studio.
Everything was different now. Although they no longer had to hide their love, it was as if Ryou and Malik were avoiding each other. At least that's how it seemed to Ryou. Malik had moved in earlier that morning, soon after Bakura had left. And it was so strange. Everywhere that had used to be a large mess was now tidy. Ryou was supposed to be the clean one. Even though he hated to admit it, Ryou missed his yami.
It had been quite a shock when Bakura and Marik had walked into the room where Ryou and Malik were. But Ryou wasn't surprised. He knew it would have happened sooner or later. When he looked at Bakura, Ryou had expected to see nothing but hate. Instead, his yami's eyes were full of sadness like Ryou had never seen before. In truth, Ryou wished he had been able to tell his yami before this happened. He kept trying to forget and move on, but every time he looked around Bakura's pained expression popped into his head. Taking a Tylenol, Ryou went and layed down on his bed. And cried.
