LefthandedFreak: Hello's again!
Seto: What is with you and all the updating?
LefthandedFreak: I'm trying to keep myself busy and on schedule and (smile at reviewers) I want to make them happy.
Seto: You'd have to kill yourself to do that.
LefthandedFreak: (Glares) Anyways, I forgot to mention last chapter that I don't own anything. I found that to be a bit urgent since I made a mention of Sailor Moon and forgot to say I didn't own so…yeah, I don't own anything. I also found out how to see how many people have been reading but not reviewing. It's an amazing number really. Makes me all warm and fuzzy. Now onto the reviews.

Ah, my friend made a convincing statement as to why Kaiba Should worry so I put it in here. I can't really remember what she said (sings) or what she threw at me. (Kaiba hits her with a book) ow..sorry I don't own that song either.
And yes, Kaiba is a Jackass but, hey, he's Kaiba! Thanks for the review!
HellsEternalFlame
I love you! You're so nice! (Hugs) I'm glad I'm making you happy! Thankies a bunch!
And thanks to all my faithful readers. I hope you enjoy this chapter. It took forever to right and a lot of head bashing.
Fate stood outside of Yugi bedroom door, Yami knocking quite loudly.
"Yugi, come on out. What's bothering you? Tell us" Yami pleaded from the outside of the locked door. Fate already knew what was wrong and figured that Yugi wouldn't be coming out soon, but trying to tell Yami this would be extremely difficult.
"Go away! I want to be alone right now! That means I want to see no one! Got it?" Yugi voice echoed out into the hallway.
"Come on Yami. Leave him alone for right now, when's he ready to talk he will.", Fate glanced at the door as she steered Yami away.
"I don't get, this last past week or so, he's been much happier and lively, now it's like he wants to go back to skulking around."
"It's ok, he's probably just trying to untangle a few confusing feelings. He'll be fine on his own for now. When he needs our help, he'll come to us, ok?" Yami yanked away from a stunned Fate.
"No, I don't want to hear anything else from you! First you said that alone time would make him better and after awhile I believed you and he came out. But now he's back in there and for no reason! You won't tell me what happened and neither will Yugi." Yami was all on out shouting in Fate's face, "How am I supposed to feel huh? He's my friend too!" With that Yami turned around and stomped down the stairs. A short time later the front door could be heard slamming shut, Fate flinching at the sound.
"Well that was well planned now wasn't it?"
Fate rolled her eyes and turned to face Hades, who was now sitting upside down in the air. "Shut up Hades"
Hades smiled and flipped over in the air, placing his feet on the ground carefully and leaned up close to Fate. "Boy I give you a compliment and you go all vampire on me" He followed that by hissing at her.
"Better be careful or I might bite you"
"I might enjoy that a little too much" Fate looked a bit puzzled at him before she rolled her eyes and headed down the stairs. Hades rolled his eyes and followed her. He stopped at the bottom step and watched as she pulled on a coat and grab an umbrella before she started out the door. "Where you going?"
"Out. I have to keep an eye on them now don't I?"
"So you're going to follow Yami?"
"No, I'm going to find Joey. Yami's going to wind up at Kaiba Corp." Fate said nonchalantly.
"How do you know that?" Hades raise a brow but was only flashed a smile.
"Oh, I know a lot of what happens here", and with that she closed the door.
Yami stood in the rain staring up at the tall skyscraper before him. KaibaCorp. The more he stared at it, the more he hated the man inside. Why did everything come easily to him? All he had to do was snap his fingers and he got whatever he wanted? He could fix whatever problem he had that way as well. Why couldn't everyone else do that? Why couldn't Yami fix his problems at a snap of a finger? It wasn't fair.
Next thing he knew, he was throwing rock after rock at the building, breaking one of the glass windows and causing the receptionist inside to scream in fear. That didn't stop him though. He continued to punish the building for holding so much dominant power over so many who couldn't afford to live in luxury, who couldn't afford to have no emotions. He had enough of all this 'I'm better than you because I'm rich' attitude from the world.
All he ever wanted was to make Yugi happy. Was that too hard to ask? Why couldn't he help him with his problems? Why was the world so cruel to him? Why? How had people lived on this planet baffled Yami. He was sick of the place. He couldn't stand it.
Someone caught his arm in mid throw, stopping him from placing any more damage onto the building. Looking up, he tried to see who stopped his rampage but was surprised to find that tears blurred his sight.
" Do you get a kick out of defacing other peoples property or is that something new?" Kaiba's voice rang firm and cold as he forced the rock out of Yami's hand and onto the ground. Great, he was stopped by Mr. Moneybags himself.
"Let go Kaiba", Yami growled as he tried to pull his hand out of Kaiba's grip but was completely exhausted from fuming so much anger.
"And let you continue your onslaught? I don't think so" Damn Kaiba for being so much like an iceman. Him in his money could burn in hell.
"Shut up Kaiba. You wouldn't understand, even if it hit you square in the face with a brick"
Kaiba raised a brow "So you decided to test your theory out on my company?"
"Just go away Kaiba!" Yami yelled right at Kaiba's face before he broke down and started to cry. He immediately buried his face into Kaiba's chest. "Why can you solve all your problems? Why isn't it that simple for everyone else? You can avoid your feelings. You have no concept of love do you? It's not fair" Kaiba stood in surprise as Yami started to slam his fist against Kaiba's chest but wasn't using enough force to cause any damage.
Kaiba glanced up and saw a couple of people from inside glancing out from the broken windows, trying to catch a glance of who started all the ruckus, but one quick glare from Kaiba and they went back to there merry little jobs. Now that they where alone, Kaiba's first instincts was to move themselves out of the rain, away from public, which soon proved to be a harder task than should be since Yami didn't seem to want to budge. Sighing, Kaiba pulled Yami up into his arms and carried him into his limo.
Only till after the limo pulled away and headed down the main rode did Kaiba speak. "I do you know" Yami peered up from his seat across from Kaiba, trying to stop his crying.
"You do what?"
"I do have a concept of love you know. I'm not as heartless as you think" Yami wiped a few tears away.
"Your brother, I know"
"No, not just my brother", Yami stopped in mid wipe as he glanced at Kaiba. He almost froze as he noticed a look of slight pain on his face. "I've loved another and still do. But you know it's just like me to screw things up. I had to make a big deal over such a small thing as a picture and now he's running around, depressed if I know Joey.."
"Your in love with Joey!" Yami was confused now. He would have never guessed in a million years that Kaiba was gay (An: He doesn't get the newspaper) And with Joey of all people. Why was he always he last one to learn these things? Kaiba smirked a bit.
"Yeah, I know, big and heartless ice-man does have a heart. Its just kind of weird that it's with Joey" Kaiba thought about it for a moment before continuing, "But who are you to judge me? I can't fix everything with just a snap of my fingers. I wish I could though, I might not have hurt Joey than"
Yami sat in silence for a moment. Great, he had totally screwed up another thing. Maybe Kaiba was more human than he thought. "I'm…sorry. I shouldn't have judged you" Kaiba waved it off.
"I'm used to it by now. So, this may sound kind of out of place coming from me but do you mind telling me what's keeping you down in the dumps?'
"I'm a terrible person"
"No your not"
"Yes I am!" Fate sighed as she leaned against Joey's front door. He had locked himself inside and away from her, crying as he tried to shoo her away.
"Come on Joey, let me in. I understand that what you did was something a little..ok…out there but that doesn't mean you're a terrible person." A lock clicked and Joey's tear streaked face peered out from the door.
"You sure"
"Of course I'm sure. And I'm not just saying it either", Fate gently pushed the door open and hugged Joey. "See? I still like you" Joey managed a small smile as Fate comforted him.
"But I'm so confused. I feel the same way for Kaiba as I do for Yugi. Does that mean I'm not suppose to be with either or I'm suppose to choose or….what?"
Fate sighed as she led Joey to the couch, sitting next to him as he sniffled away his tears. "No, it doesn't mean either of those things. You just feel the same for Yugi as you do for Kaiba that's all. No more, no less."
"But then who am I suppose to be with?"
"Who said you can't be with both?", Fate asked softly. Joey started to laugh.
"Come on, Fate. You know that's almost impossible. Kaiba and Yugi are totally different. Yami and Kaiba don't even get along and they seem the closest to understanding each other than anyone else."
Now in movies and good romance alike, this would cue the scene, which is occurring as we read, or as I type nonetheless, of Kaiba and Yami making out in the back of the limo. It's kind of like sideways humor.
"There's no way that would work"
"Never say never Joey. Anything's possible with a little bit of Fate". Oh if Joey only knew, he might actually laugh. "I say you take the plunge and see about it"
"Kaiba won't like it. And what Kaiba feels does matter since it's going to effect everything else that may happen." Joey shook his head. "I can't cheat on Kaiba."
Fate gave Joey the 'Oh I don't know' look, "Don't look at it as cheating. Look at it as, oh, say sharing the love"
"You're a demon in disguise aren't you?", Joey glanced up at Fate as she smiled.
"No, I just look at everything from a different angle.", Fate stood up "Tell you what, you think about it and I'll get back to you." Joey nodded and then stopped.
"But what about Yu-"
"I'll talk to him, don't worry". With that, Fate fixed her coat and raised her umbrella. "I have everything under control."
Joey could only nod as Fate left him alone and with his thoughts. Once outside, Fate pulled out a cell phone and placed it to her ear. "Hello Yugi, answer your phone…I know your there. Come on, please talk to me…Joey told me what happened and…hello Yugi" Fate smiled as she walked down the street.
LefthandedFreak: Ok, this was just a bit confusing.
Seto: (Looks at plot line) You've changed this thing 7 times!
LefthandedFreak: But I have the same ending the whole time. I have two more chapters before the really exciting stuff happens.
Seto: Oh god.
LefthandedFreak: Oh and just to make this clear. When Joey mentioned his argument with Kaiba to Yugi, it didn't surprise him because he had seen those two together. Joey didn't seem to notice that Yugi wasn't surprised by the news because he was upset. That why Yami was surprised when Kaiba let it slip…Sorry if that confused anyone. Read and Review
