NOTE: Sorry for posting 2 chaps in one day... I just thought since, I have not updated in this in a while, I should make up for it. Gomen!

That Friday night...

"Yeah... mm-hmm..." I paused, while listening to the person on the other end through the receiver. "Wakateru(I know), Yami-kun. Demo--" My eyes narrowed. "Urusai(shut up)! I know this was a stupid thing to do, okay? Yuugi no baka. Wakata(I get it)!"

Yami sighed heavily on the other end. "Yuugi, you're not stupid."

"Then why are you making it sound like I am?" I asked huffily.

"Because you did something stupid!" My eyes narrowed even more. That damned pharaoh. Always so honest and forward. That would be a good quality, except he never knew when to keep his mouth shut. "They're not the same thing."

"Close enough." I snapped. Yami sighed heavily once more.

"Look, do you want my advice or not?"

"...hai..." I muttered.

"Good. Now, you said that Jonouchi says he is in love with you, right?"

My heart skipped a beat. "Hai."

"And you said that Otogi also likes you, nee?"

"Hai."

"So to decide between the two, you asked them both on a date."

"Well, Jonouchi--"

"I know. Jou-kun asked you on a date. Either way, you have two dates with two very sexy bishous who have the hots for you. What's the problem?" My eyebrows raised, even though he was not there to witness the look of shock and suspicion. That did not sound like Yami.

"Who made you say that?" I asked. "Are you reading Kaiba's cue cards?" Yami chuckled.

"That did sound more like Kaiba than me, hmm?" I nodded my head; although he could not see me, he knew I agreed. "I guess I am spending a little too much time with my own bishounen..." his voice faded off into a laugh. My eyebrows raised again.

"You are aware that you two are kissing-cousins, right? Literally?"

"Only 5,000 years ago, hikari. Today, Seto and I are barely related at all by blood, but more by..." More chuckling. I could hear sucking in the background and knew that Seto had gotten hungry for more of Yami's kisses. I stuck my tongue out like a little child and said one word: blegh.

"YAMI!" I said, distracting him from sticking his ancient tongue down Kaiba's throat.

"Hmm? Nani?" I resisted the urge to call him an ancient geisha, and continued on with what I had wanted his advice with.

"What should I do?" I asked for the umpteenth time. "Otogi is going to be here any minute."

"Listen, hikari-chan," Yuugi said simply. "Do you want to go on this date with Otogi?"

"Well..." I thought while I heard Yami's stubborn protests against Seto's advancements. "I don't know. That's why I am calling."

"Okay... Seto, knock it off! Go take a cold shower!" Composing himself, Yami concentrated. "Lemme ask you something else. You wouldn't even have asked Otogi if you had not felt anything for him, right?"

"Meaning...?"

"Meaning that you must have some attraction to Otogi. Or else you would not be so confused. Right?" I thought it over.

"Uhm... no, not really. I mean, I like Otogi... but nothing more than a friend."

"I see. Then you did this just to not hurt his feelings, right?"

"Pretty much." I replied sheepishly.

"Then what about your feelings for Katsuya?" My pharaoh asked. "What do you feel when you talk to him?" I paused a moment.

"I dunno... I mean, I feel all dizzy and my heart races. I feel happy."

"Do any of these things happen when you talk to Otogi?"

"...hai..."

"Hmm..."

Meanwhile, Seto was in the background. "Yami..." he whined. "Stop talking to him..."

"Urusai, Kaiba!" Yami snapped and went back to me. "Lemme ask ya something else, Yuugi. Did any of these things happen before they said they liked you?" I thought about it.

"No..."

"Then I see what's wrong."

"What? Tell me!"

"You are confused, my little flower. You did not feel overly close to either of those guys before you heard about their feelings. Then you started to think maybe you could feel something in return. You are too kind-hearted and you do not want to hurt either of them. Hence, you make yourself believe that you have crushes on the two of them when, in reality, your feelings could be nothing." I was shocked. "I am not sure if your whole date plan is a good idea or not, and I might not tell you even if I knew the answer. For you, it might be a good thing. You can decide for yourself if you like them."

"But, Yami..." I inquired. "What if.. what if it's all over and I still have no idea where my heart belongs?"

"Look to the Heart of the Cards." Yami suggested. My eyes narrowed.

"This is no time for Duel Masters, baka ne!" I snapped. Yami chuckled.

"Tarot cards, you silly." Yami stated. I was confused.

"Ta...rot... cards...? How can that...?"

"Who knows?" Yami responded. "But if all else fails, put your heart to chance. Let Fate decide who you really belong with."

"What will that do?" I asked monotonely.

"Never know until ya try." Yami said cheerfully. "Now, sorry I couldn't be more help, hikari, demo I have to go or Seto here is going to have a crying fit."

"Am not!" I could hear the ice king's protest in the background. "You're using up all my cell phone minutes!"

"Oh, wah." Yami replied, not caring. "You're one of the richest men in all of Japan, and you're complaining about going over your cell phone minutes? Hikari," he was finally talking to me again instead of provoking his boy toy. "Seto is such a baby." I laughed.

"Watch out, Yami-kun. You're beginning to sound like Pegasus."

"Kaiba's first lover? Oh, no! Never!" By protesting, he sounded even more like the flamboyant fiddlehead. I laughed. I suppose that was the point.

"Gimme that phone, ya ancient pharaoh!" Seto exclaimed.

"Gotta go! Love ya! Bye-bye!" Yami said, laughing. I could hear more smacking noises before I hung up the phone and sighed heavily, a small smile dawning my lips. It had not been too long before that that I would have been so jealous of Kaiba for kissing my pharaoh. But that seemed like a long time ago, when (in actuality) it had not been more than four-or-so months. I was over Yami. I was also over Bakura, who I liked long before any of them. Throwing myself onto my bed, I let my phone fall onto the comforter beside me. Maybe Yami was right-- maybe I was hoping that I would fall for one of them to not hurt their feelings. Maybe I would find out that I liked one more than the other. This whole plan would just have to follow through and, if I was lucky at all, I would find out my answer before the end of the weekend.

As I closed my eyes and sighed, stretching out, the doorbell rang. Shooting up, I jumped from my bed and rushed down the stairs, grabbing my blue leather jacket. "Gah! Otogi's here already!" I missed the last three stairs by jumping over them and met him at the door, short of breath. He smiled when he saw me.

"Hiya, Yuugi-kun." He said. He looked great in his clothes. He was wearing the same attire, but had a new black leather jacket that fit nicely over his slim arms. My heart jumped into my throat. "Are you ready?"

"...hai." I replied. I closed and locked the door behind me before he handed me his small bouquet of flowers and held out his arm like a gentlemen to escort me to his black 1986 Mustang. "These are nice flowers." I commented, trying to ignore the inkling I had that I had seen them before.

"Well..." He seemed nervous. "Thank you. Only the best for you, Yuugi." I blushed slightly. As he opened the door for me, I did not notice that there was a minor patch of wildflowers missing from my grandfather's garden.
