Light of Fallen Darkness: For once, I really don't have anything to say. Shocking huh?

Ashly: ...Obviously my friends & I weren't the only ones who saw that Korean music video two years ago...
xSwtLilAngel666x: I'm sorry if that whole thing confused you! But yeah, I was talking about Honda.
Amethyst-eyed Koneko: Hehe, sorry about those teasers...can't resist... Uh, I was referring to Jonouchi in the beginning of the chapter. Damn, that's the second time someone got confused with my descriptions. Guess I'll have to watch out for those from now on, hehe...
"So, do you think there is any way for Yami and I to have our own separate bodies?" I finished.
The beautiful Egyptian standing before Kaiba, Mokuba and I blinked. She smiled and nodded, "Of course there is. All you had to do was ask." I groaned to myself as Yami started screaming at me for putting of the 'moment of truth' for so long.
"That will be great Ishizu!" I exclaimed happily. The woman smiled and led us to the back of the museum where the stone tablet with the carvings of Yami's memories was at. A large book sat on the stand in front of it and Ishizu took it from the stand. She flipped through the pages with her slim fingers until coming to a stop somewhere at the end of the book.
"Are you sure this will even work?" Kaiba demanded, most likely concerned about the well being of Yami.
"Yes, but for the spell to work properly I will need Yugi and the Pharaoh to switch places." Ishizu answered. I nodded and placed my hands on the Millennium Puzzle. Yami was all too happy to comply.
Once he was out, I could tell Yami was having trouble resisting the urge to jump Kaiba right there and then. Ishizu must've noticed because she quickly brought her hand over the Millennium Puzzle and recited a chant. The last thing I remembered seeing before standing face to face with my other self was a bright glow that blinded the room.
I opened my eyes, blinking repetitively so I could get used to the light. "Yugi?" A voice cried. I looked up and saw the one person I never thought I would see in person. Yami was equally surprised. Without thinking, I jumped on him and wrapped my arms tightly around his neck.
"Yami!" He hugged me back and we just stayed like this, marveling about something I only dreamt about since learning about Yami.
"Hey Yami, can you stillhear me?"
"I can hear you loud and clear but why don't we actually talk to each other instead of through our mind link?"
"Because then I would say, 'Your boyfriend's getting jealous'."
Yami and I let go of each other instantly and smiled at Kaiba who was glaring at me. Mokuba snickered and muttered something under his breath about his overly possessive brother. "What's wrong Seto?" Yami asked in feigned curiosity.
"Nothing's wrong." Kaiba answered, the anger in his eyes simmering down slightly. Ishizu looked back and forth between Kaiba and Yami with a grin. She probably found this entire ordeal amusing.
After thanking Ishizu for the umpteenth time, the four of us were back in-this time-Kaiba's red Ferrari. Yami sat with Kaiba at the front while Mokuba and I occupied the back seats. We drove on for ten minutes until Yami leaned on Kaiba's shoulder, "What are you so mad about Seto?" He purred.
Kaiba grunted, "Nothing." As if, his image on the rear view mirror was a dead giveaway.
Yami chuckled and pecked his newfound boyfriend on the cheek, "You have nothing to be jealous over Seto. I mean, I'm not jealous of you and Mokuba."
Mokuba and I both choked on our breaths. Kaiba blushed, "That's because he's my brother."
"Exactly, Yugi is my aibou, my light. He's like my little brother too." With that, Yami gave Kaiba another peck on the cheek.
Kaiba's image in the rear view mirror was grinning from ear to ear like a lovesick fool.
Before I knew it, Wednesday and Thursday were long gone. In those nights, Yami had spent more and more time with Kaiba whether at his mansion or in his car. Each time he would come back home with a wide smile on his face and crescent moon hickeys on his neck. Mokuba assured me that whatever they were doing was strictly PG after I asked him in curiosity.
Suddenly, it was Friday, the day Kaiba Land would officially open and I could finally introduce the real Yami to the gang. We all decided to meet at the Kame Game Shop and get Grandpa to drive us to the amusement park.
"How do I look?" Yami asked nervously from behind the couch where I sat watching the news.
I turned around and my violet eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. He was wearing a white tank top of mine, purposely revealing his lightly toned stomach and outlining his slim chest perfectly. He wore tight black leather pants that bunched up at his shoes with almost too many silver chains hanging from the side. Only two brown leather belts kept the pants on his waist. An abundant amount of bracelets covered his arms but only a single earring dangled from his left ear.
Yami held up the Milllennium Puzzle that was around his neck and traced the patterns shyly, "I was thinking about impressing Seto but I guess I went over the top huh?"
"Yami, look at yourself in the mirror and tell me Kaiba's not going to like this."
The ex-pharaoh plopped down beside me on the couch with a satisfying smirk, "I was hoping you'd say that."
"Hey Yugi, what's up?" Jonouchi's voice hollered from the door. I closed my eyes and started a count down starting from five, judging by the speed of his footsteps.
"Yugi? What are you-Yami! Holy crap! Is it really you?" He gasped. Yami glanced around and winked at him.
"Jonouchi? What's going on?" Honda halted in his tracks, right behind Jonouchi and started gawking at Yami.
I heard Anzu fly in a few seconds later, grumbling about how guys are so impatient, until she caught sight of Yami. She blushed and squeaked, "Yami?"
"Yes, it's me. Surprised?" Yami said teasingly. Anzu's face reddened and gave me an inquisitive look.
"Ishizu cast a spell on us so we can both have separate bodies." I explained.
Honda and Jonouchi snapped out of their stupor after hearing this and the usual chatter began. Anzu sat silently beside me, staring in Yami's direction every now and then while he was joking casually with Jonouchi and Honda. If all this took place a month earlier, I would've been furious and set out to decapitate Yami as soon as we were alone. Then again, Kaiba would kill me for murdering him so it's not like I could anyway.
"Kaiba's got a rival."
"I thought I was his rival."
"Not in Duel Monsters, in love."
"I'm not following…"
"Anzu's still got feelings for you, you know."
Yami glanced at Anzu and she blushed. She smiled weakly at him and immediately struck up a conversation about nothing at all with me.
Grandpa hadn't even gotten three feet within Kaiba Land until the first billboard featuring Yami appeared. Everyone, including me and Yami, stared at it for what seemed like eternity. It was the first ad Yami did. "Yami, you never told us you were modeling!" Anzu cried.
"I'm not. I was just helping Seto with his ad." He answered, blushing at the thought of the Blue Eyed White Dragons lover.
"Seto?" Jonouchi was cut off by another shriek from Anzu. The second ad was of Yami in the 'evil one's'-as Yami oh so delicately put it-Puma jacket. The third and last ad we saw was of Yami in a black tank top wearing worn out cargo pants and sneakers.
The parking lot was flooding with cars but luckily Grandpa just offered to chauffeur and did nothing more than drive us. "Okay kids, I'll be back around five so in the meantime, enjoy yourselves!" He waved at us and drove off.
Hordes of screaming girls and reporters swarmed at us once we stepped through the entrance. To be more specific, they were after Yami. Oblivious to our presence, the crowd bulled over Jonouchi and Honda to get to Yami.
Girls were trying to grab as many articles of clothing from Yami while reporters shoved their mikes and cameras into his face. Anzu was looking nervously at the girls while I tried to push through the reporters, shooting them the best glare I could muster. I just made myself look like a pouting toddler instead.
"Yami!" I yelled, the sea of people pulling me and Anzu further and further from him. His muffled voice called for mine and Anzu's name but I could barely hear it.
Then, silence descended as a cold voice boomed overhead. I blinked as a small pathway was cleared and a brown head bobbed angrily to where I assumed Yami was.
"Kaiba?" Anzu gasped. I jumped up and smirked, despite the situation at hand. Kaiba placed his hand on one side of Yami's waist, glaring murderously at the now cowering girls and reporters.
He scowled, "I hope I make myself clear by announcing to all of you that this is an opening ceremony, not a press conference."
The sound of feet scuffling was all Kaiba needed to hear. He smirked and led Yami through the parting crowd, nodding at me from where I was.
Anzu and I hurried after them with Jonouchi and Honda following in pursuit. It was only until we reached the roller coaster when an incredibly stupid reporter decided to push his luck.
"Mr. Kaiba, what is with this intimacy with Mr. Mutou all of a sudden? Weren't you two Duel Monsters rivals?" Similar questions were fired from other reporters whom have regained their courage.
"Don't these jerks ever give up?" Honda muttered.
As if on cue, Kaiba smirked and suddenly cradled Yami's chin in his hand and kissed him. Yami was blushing wildly but didn't push him away. When they did pull away, anyone within a hundred meters had their eyes and mouths wide open.
Jonouchi and Honda's arms were drooping lifelessly in front of them. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Anzu staring with unshed tears hovering over her eyes and a blush on her paled face.
"Now if you don't mind," Kaiba smirked even more, "I would like to get on with my date. The next person with a camera, microphone or pen to come within a three feet radius will be escorted out of the park by security."
The reporters disappeared in less than thirty seconds. Yami glared at Kaiba and punched his arm playfully, "Since when were we on a date?"
Kaiba cocked his head at us and grinned, "Since those space cadets you call friends were given free passes to all the rides." He produced four tickets in his hands.
Before I knew it, Jonouchi and Honda seemed to forget about the recent events and lunged greedily at the tickets.
Light of Fallen Darkness: Wow, this chapter was longer than I had anticipated. Anyway, please review! Constructive criticisms are encouraged and flames will be laughed at!
