Yami's POV
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Yes, but I still love him!" He cried even harder after that simple statement. I frowned and so did Yugi.
/I never knew the reason of their breakup. I only knew it involved Honda… but that's all there is. Only the three of them know what happened./ My hikari's thoughts rang through our link. Yes, the three had some problems, which caused their split up… but none of them ever told us what really happened. But whatever took place between them, I'm pretty sure that it was Seto's fault, and not my friend's.
/Yugi/
/Yes Yami/
/Did I hear right/
/Yes Yami…/
/…/
/…/
/Yugi/
/Hai, Yami/
/I think Seto has some explaining to do/ I said-thought as I took a jacket from the coat rack and went into the kitchen, upon deciding it was best to leave by the back door, so he won't see me leave. Seto was going to have a piece of my mind… and there was no way was I going to let that arrogant fool toy with both of friends' hearts…

"What do you think you are doing!" Demanded a very angry looking Seto Kaiba as I forced my entry into his office. He looked pissed off and his voice suggested that he has been crying for at least sometime now.
I snorted at his pitiful voice. He was obviously so shaken up by his encounter with my friend moments ago…. That he failed to notice that I was even angrier than he was.
"What do YOU think you are doing to my friends? Haven't had you had enough by breaking up with --- and crushing his heart! Now you want to play with Ryou's heart and mortify him too? What abou-"
"Stop talking like you know everything! --- and I were long over and Ryou-" he quickly defended himself, his eyes narrowing into dangerous slits, veins popping from his temples. I have never seen him this mad before… and try as I might to deny it; it unnerved me.
But I was not about to back out from this…
Oh no…
"Ryou is Bakura's lover! How dare yo-"
"Ryou IS MINE! Bakura was maltreating him!"
"Bakura LOVES Ryou!"
"LOVE! Loves Ryou! You don't… you WOULDN'T know how much pain that crazy old thief's been putting him through! LOVE! HA!"
I paused at that; not believing what I just heard. The tomb robber was maltreating his light? That can't be right… he stopped long ago… hadn't he?
But what if…
"You… You just don't know how much Ryou loves Bakura… you don't know how much they care for each other!" I shout at him, still at the point of denial… still trying to convince Seto (and possibly myself) that Bakura had indeed stopped abusing Ryou… that Seto couldn't be telling the truth… Bakura would never repeat… he wouldn't dare do it all again… he wasn't stupid…
Seto stared at me with those piercing blue eyes of his for the longest time, as if studying and reading my thoughts. I glared back at him, not able to take the eerie silence and the look he was giving me…
"If Bakura loves Ryou, he wouldn't have had hurt him," he broke the icy stillness in the air with a very calm voice.
It was too calm for my liking though.
"If you love ---, you wouldn't have had left him either," I retorted, trying to use a tone level with his. I looked into his eyes, trying to draw out the answers to the questions I have yet to ask him…
But there was none.
His eyes… they were different from a few moments ago, when we were still yelling our throats out at each other… they were nothing but this just a few seconds ago…
They weren't…
Weren't…
Weren't… dead.
They weren't as lifeless and dull, unlike this. This wasn't Kaiba…
"I love Ryou now… " he stated, eyes still unmoving and unresponsive.
I flinched at his cold demeanor.
"If you really love him, you have to understand that he's not going to be happy with you. He'll be happier with Bakura…" I trail off I he hung his head low, his chocolate locks hiding cold orbs.
He snorted.
"Do you think Ryou's happy when Bakura beats the crap out him?"
I frowned.
Why was Kaiba so bent up on saying that the tomb robber is still beating up his hikari?
Maybe he still is…
But he's changed!
What if he has not?
Then Seto's right…
Demo… what about ---? Seto Can't be right…
"Do you think Bakura's still hurting Ryou? I know he stopped long ago!" I said in a most challenging voice, still debating upon what was the truth.
"He's better off without that bastard of yami he has," he all but sneered at me, lifting his head up and making eye contact with me. "Not unlike --- is better off with that Honda!" he spat in despair as he sank in his velvety chair. I raised my eyebrows in wonder.
Now he's opening up?
What if he's not?
Then I'm just going to take my chances…
"Say, Kaiba? You never told us what really went on between the three of you-"
He turned his sharply to me and glared… like his life depended on it or something. I shivered under his gaze.
It was scary…
Really scary…
"Don't tell he hasn't told you yet?" he all but snorted the phrase out, turning to me as he did so. His eyes were shining with something I couldn't quite comprehend… and when he spoke, his voice cracked uncharacteristically, making him sound like he was about to cry again.
"Maybe it's time to tell someone," was what he murmured before I got the shock of my very prolonged life.
