"Sans Title"

By: Cherry Romancer

Prologue

Yami: What about that other story you started? Why don't you work on that one?

Cherry: I told everyone that I needed five reviews. I didn't get them.

Yugi: Well, if you don't get what you require, of course you're gonna move on. But what's this story about? And what does "Sans Title" mean?

Cherry: "Sans Title" translates to "HELP!! I CAN'T COME UP WITH TITLES ANYMORE!!!"

Yami: (raises an eyebrow)

Cherry: (clears throat) Anyway, I need disclaimer personnel.

Yugi: Forget it.

Yami: Ditto.

Cherry: I know. I've got someone else now. Introducing guest star Miroku!!!

Miroku: ?? How did I get here?

Yugi: Sorry about that Mister Miroku. Cherry has that strange power.

Miroku: Who is Cherry? (spots Cherry) Ah! A vision of loveliness! Miss, would you consider being the mother of my children?

Cherry: (frantic) And other guest star, Sango!!!

Miroku: S-Sango??

Sango: (wallops Miroku with her Hiraikotsu)

Cherry: Okay then, Sango, you do the disclaimer.

Sango: (confused) Okay. Cherry doesn't own anything or anyone.

Cherry: Now that we've got all that out of my system, let's get on with the story.

Damn it sucked being sick!!

Yugi was currently sitting on the couch, wrapped in a nice, warm blanket, and freezing his cute little ass off despite the fever he was running. He hated being sick because right now he felt to weak to do anything besides watch TV, and there was nothing on. He was bored silly, and since it was a school day, he couldn't call anyone; they were all at school.

A familiar grumble brought him out of his mental complaining.

/I need food,/ he thought to himself, getting off the couch and dragging himself into the kitchen. While ransacking the fridge, he heard a voice in the back of his head.

Aibou? You feeling okay? came Yami's concerned mental voice. Since he had a body of his own, he was registered for school, something he thoroughly regretted whenever Yugi got sick. He had to go to school, while his Aibou stayed home, and since his grandfather was off in another city to see to some new game supplies for the shop, Yugi was at home alone. (Honestly, Yami'd wanted to call someone to care for him, but Yugi had almost become violent in his protests, absolutely refusing, point-blank, to have a babysitter.)

Yami, for the ten-millionth time, I am not dying, so stop checking on me every five minutes and learn something, or I'm going to close off the mind link, and that will be that!!/ Yugi screamed, almost causing Yami to physically wince. Yugi knew he'd feel bad about being so harsh later, but he was becoming quite tired of Yami's mollycoddling. (A/n: If you don't know that word, it's a fancy term for babying someone.) Granted, he was sick, but every five minutes, literally!! Yugi could still take care of himself, and to be honest, if it wasn't for Yami's constant checking, Yugi would probably be taking a nice nap right now.

But then, it was always like this.

No matter what happened, Yami would baby him. He'd protect him from things he didn't need protecting from, and Yugi just didn't have the heart to protest most of the time. Yugi was quite sure that Yami thought he wasn't capable of taking care of himself period, and that hurt a lot.

Especially since Yugi had at some point in time fallen for the former pharaoh.

Yugi knew that the only way to get Yami to love him back was to make him realize that he didn't need to be suffocated. He honestly didn't mind Yami protecting him. It was the lengths to which Yami took in that bothered him.

But now was not the time to be thinking about it, for Yami had just started protesting Yugi's proposal to stop checking on him.

Loudly.

Yami, I'm tired of you right now!! I warned you!!/ And with that, Yugi slammed up his mental barriers. He knew that once the former pharaoh got home, he would be in for an earful about blocking Yami off, but he really just wanted to get some lunch and take a nap right now.

/Damn him. If only I could prove to him that I didn't need his constant shielding./ Yugi froze at the thought.

He was an idiot.

There, right in front of him, was the answer to his problems with Yami. He had to prove he wasn't a frail piece of glass that was about to break!!

Although, he would probably prove it more effectively when he was healthy again.

Cherry: Hee! I was gonna make a one-shot, but in the middle of writing this, story changed itself and made material for chapters! It's alive!!!! ALIVE!!!!!!

Sango: (scared) Is she like this often?

Yami: All the damn time.

Miroku: (freaked) And I wanted her to bear my children?

Yugi: She does give off an aura of normal when you first meet her, but then she mutates.

Cherry: You know what? I need other people here!! Not just you four.

(Kagome, Inu-Yasha, and Shippo all pop out of nowhere.)

Kagome: Where are we?

Cherry: In my world!!

Inu-Yasha: Who the hell are you? (bears his claws)

Miroku: Inu-Yasha, I wouldn't do that!

Cherry: Sit!

Inu-Yasha: (goes splat)

Shippo: Huh? I thought only Kagome could do that!

Cherry: (smiles sweetly at Shippo) I have special powers. Watch. (makes Shippo crayons and drawing paper)

Shippo: All right!! (draws happily)

Yugi: Remember to review! PLEASE!! You have to get us out of here!!!
