Yami's koi: HOWDY DOODY! I'm back!

Neutral Man: Oh wow. I'm so happy I think I'm gonna let you say you made an error.

Yami's koi: I only noticed when I'd seen it on , but a lyric was wrong. It's 'The kiss of vanity blessed me with a spiritual murder,' regardless of what I typed before. Gomen!

/Yugi to YamiYami to YugiRyou to Bakura Bakura to Ryou ((Author Notes)) Song words

"You aren't coming with us?" Yugi asked, edging towards Ryou slightly, "Why not, Seto? And what about Jou?"

Jou twisted round in his seat, next to Seto in the front, and gave him a sad look.

Your tomb is where the heart is I, should have told her…

"Sorry buddy. I'm gonna go with. He's got this meeting somewhere in America… I think it's either Vegas or Texas…" His eyebrows furrowed for a moment before he shrugged, "Aw, who cares where? All I know is that we're gonna do some serious work, and then some gambling!"

"I wonder what they'll work on… my money's on screaming." Bakura muttered slyly, nudging Ryou slightly. In response Ryou scolded him mentally.

Bakura… so what if they're lovers? You should be happy for them.

Bakura's smirk widened. Oh but I am hikari. In my own, twisted little way. Besides, I just think its funny that they were enemies and once hated each other.

Ryou shot him another look, only this time he couldn't hide his smile.

It feels like I've been buried alive by love…

"EARTH TO RYOU!" Jou screamed, waving his hand in front of his friend's face. "We ain't goin' nowhere till you do up ya belt."

Bakura growled slightly and did up his own belt, glaring very effectively at the blonde. Jou flinched, and nudged Seto to get things going.

If I should die before I wake, pray no one my soul to take, and if I wake before I die, rescue me with your smile…

Aibou… don't look at them, but what do you think about the Tomb Robber? Don't you think he's been acting… well, slightly possessive of Ryou recently? Has Ryou told you anything?

Yugi turned to face his yami slightly. /Nothing other than he wants to challenge you to a Duel when we get to the cabin. I told him you'd accept, of course,/ Yugi added hurriedly at Yami's sharp glance, /I know you too well. You'd never back down from a challenge/

You say it almost wearily. Like it's a curse or something

Yugi blushed and averted the look, praying to the Gods that Yami had NOT noticed his different attitude. Come to think about it, Ryou had been acting even more distant of late, somehow his grades had gotten even better…

Yugi shook his head. He was too tired to figure out these feelings and the ways of his friends. It got so tedious just to focus so much on people's love life, but, then again, it seemed that something was drawing him in, swirling him down until he had to submit.

But within me hid a secret so terrible…

"HAS FEAR SNAPPED YOUR MIND, PHARAOH?" Bakura bellowed, heedless of Ryou's tugging on his arm, "WHY DO YOU LAUGH AT MY CHALLENGE?"

True to his word, Yami was… pissing himself. He held his stomach as he laughed, the ache in his stomach causing him to gasp for air.

"Its…its just so f-foolish!" He managed at last, wiping his eyes, "I mean –you- challenge me – the Game King, Pharaoh and supreme game player of all time, whilst you – a lowly, unworthy Tomb Robber… well, I just hope you know my titles? The Universe's Best Duellist and Game master Award, along with The Hottest Gie on the Planet."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever, you Premature, Haughty, Arrogant, Raving, Arsehole Of Hell!" ((Spells Pharaoh.)) Bakura screamed back, "At least I actually worked for my fame and cash, whereas you sat on your arse, produced heirs and shagged the maids! Bet whenever you wanted a son all you needed do was walk down the corridor, and WHAM! A maid, waiting and naked for you."

Yami's eyes narrowed at that, and through the link Yugi could feel his infamous temper rising dangerously.

"I never once had a woman in my bed, therefore I never had an heir. Twat." He added, folding his arms furiously.

Yugi put a hand on his arm and gave him that adorable look. That look which not even Yami could rebel against. His amethyst pools shimmered with a plea; a plea that Yami wouldn't be able to resist once seeing those gorgeous eyes turned up full volume. He winced and turned away, and Yugi smiled, satisfied.

To cry is to know that you're alive, but my river of tears has run dry

Bakura grinned and turned back to Ryou.

"So Ryou, will you be watching me when I covet the Pharaoh's power, or not?"

Ryou considered. Bakura would need restraining with the toughest bouncers in the universe if he lost. And yet he seemed to be the only one who he would listen to in a rage. Much like a wife to her husband in the days of old…

Cabin

I never wanted to fool you, no, but a cold heart is a dead heart…

"Thanks for the ride you little jerks!" Bakura sang, striding in with his and Ryou's luggage. True to Kaiba's words, it was spacious, with a vast living room, which consisted of a mini bar, a large TV with a cinema sound system, furniture, a stereo, and even two duel disks. And this was just one room.

"This is gonna be cool!" Yugi stated excitedly, diving onto the couch happily, "I LOVE it here!"

Yami couldn't help but smile, falling into a long and loving daydream. Ryou however, sweat dropped, and signalled to him that he should come with him upstairs. Reluctantly the rest followed, and were again shocked.

There were five bedrooms in all. Two of them had four single beds in them; the rest with a massive double king sized bed. ((Can you even get those?)) Each was equally large, though one room was miraculously smaller than the rest, thanks to a large cupboard built in from the wall.

"Dude, get me a load of this!" Bakura muttered, before leaping onto the bed and then to the next. Ryou called him to 'heel,' but still his yami wouldn't calm it.

"YAHOO!" Yugi screamed, leaping up onto the bed beside the one Bakura was currently jumping on and jumped. He landed on Bakura's back, pulling him down to the floor with him.

"Your hikari called you to heel. You should have listened." Yugi chided to him seriously, pushing him towards the said light. Bakura growled, but happily went back to Ryou.

Well Yugi, we'd better unpack. Unless the Tomb Robber decides to tell Ryou about how he feels

Yugi flashed his Yami a look of complete confusion. /What feelings, Yami?/

Yami sweat dropped and pulled him into an embrace. Don't worry about it aibou. Just don't go asking Ryou anything yet, if he doesn't

/Doesn't what?/

Yami pulled back and arched an eyebrow, taking a step back to regard his light with curiosity.

Just in case he doesn't like the Tomb Robber and I am mistaken

Yami laughed at the look of realisation that was forming on his hikari's face. Laughing, he sat besides him and then pounced, tickling him effectively. Grinning, Bakura made out to help him, but then decided Ryou was more on his mind. With a shriek, Ryou began squirming.

Exclamations of laughter and squeals could be heard for a long time after.

Yami's koi: Well, that's chapter two, I believe. Here once more for your enjoyment.

Neutral Man: it's the lamest story you have.

Yami's koi: silence. Reviews would be greatly appreciated, and you get a plushie for doing so. Arigato.
