I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh!

-------------------------------------------------

Chapter 10

Yami watched Yugi run from him crying, but he didn't know why, he stood alone in the middle of the dance floor oblivious to the stares and glares he was receiving, his eyes fixated on the direction Yugi had ran in. He was screaming at himself to run after him, to take Yugi in his arms, but his legs refused to move.

I thought you'd be happy, aibou, I did this for you

He remained stood in the middle of the dance floor, as the other couples danced around him for the final songs of the night before they were sent home to sweet goodnight kisses from their partners. But Yami didn't have his anymore, no more valentine, no more Yugi?

Slap!

Yami clutched his cheek, dam that hurt! Yami looked up to see Tea, Jou and Tristan standing before him, and it looked like Jou and Tristan wanted to do him some harm as well.

"What did you do to him?"

"Nothing, I swear"

"Nothing? Nothing? People don't go running out in tears for nothing!" Tea was beyond angry at him "I told you, if you didn't have any real intentions then to stop it, now look what you've done!"

Tea let out an exasperated grunt and turned on her heal to comfort Yugi. Leaving Yami with to very protective and angry friends of Yugi

One word cane to mind in this situation. Shit!

"Yugi? Yugi where are you?" Tea had been looking frantically for Yugi, she would have gone straight after him, if she hadn't wanted to hurt Yami so bad, plus make sure that Jou and Tristan didn't kill him, as they probably would have. He deserved punishment and pain, but not severe, he was still there friend, and he must have had a reason, none the less slapping him felt good.

Tea was now out of the building, she looked around the school grounds and listened intensely, sure enough she heard a quiet sobbing in the darkness, she followed it, until she came to a small shape on the ground. There was Yugi his arms hugging his legs to his chest, his face buried in his knees, crying his heart out.

Tea approached slowly and knelt down next to him, not caring if her dress got dirty, and pulled him to her. He stiffed put when he realised it was her let out another sob and wrapped his arms around her, pulling his arms around her for comfort.

"Shhh, it'll be ok Yugi" she pulled him onto her lap and rubbed him back soothingly; she reached into her bag and got out a tissue using it to wipe away his tears. "There you go, don't want to look a mess do you"

He sniffed and reached her gaze, he felt saddened at the compassion and worry in her eyes, that he was making his friend feel bad. "I'm sorry Tea, it doesn't matter anymore, just make it go away"

She gazed down in confusion, holding him closer to her "Make what go away?!

His fingers clutched the material of her dress, clinging into comfort as the he breathed out "The pain"

"Yami, what did you do to him? I can't believe you, I thought you cared about him, it's hard to believe you were Kurenai all along! Why didn't we see it?"

"You were never the brightest crayon in the box puppy" Jou growled giving evidence to the name puppy as he turned to face Seto Kaiba, the 'bane' of his existence "What's a matter? The puppy get angry?"

"Get lost money bags, we don't have time to deal with you, we've got important stuff to do."

"Puppy, the other one, you can beat Yami to a pulp later on, right now I have to talk with him" both of them glared at him, Seto placed his hands of Yami's shoulders from behind and lead him away from the two. Tristan shot daggers at him in anger, Jou with anger and, something else? Jealousy? What's he got to be jealous of I'm being carted off by Kaiba!

Once out of the vicinity, Yami shook himself free of Kaiba' grasp "I could have gotten out of that myself you know"

Seto stared into Yami's eyes "So that's the thanks I get for saving you from becoming puppy chow!" Yami glared back at him, Jou might want to kill him right now, but Kaiba was still insulting his friend.

"Alright, so what happened?"

Yami folded his arms and continued to glare at Seto, thankful that he was pulled away from the bodyguards, but he wasn't too ecstatic about his new companion either.

"I'm Yugi's secret admirer"

"Yes I know that, I'm not the smartest person in this school for nothing, I shouldn't even have to come here, it the government!"

Yami couldn't help but smile at Seto's ranting, but he had more important matters to deal with "So what do you really want?"

"You're having trouble with Yugi. He freaked out and over reacted. Face it Yami you screwed up!"

"Shut up priest boy like you know anything about it, you were never too good at this stuff anyway"

"I want to help you"

Yami snorted at this "Yeah right, the day you help me is the day Jou will break down and confess his undying love for you"

Seto stiffened at that, "I'll hold you to that Yami" Seto cursed himself for not keeping his mouth shut.

"huh, you mean, you like Jou?" this was one twisted day for him.

Seto tried to shake it off "Have I ever done anything that would make you distrust me?"

"My 12th birthday, you assured me that the potion would work, we'd turn invisible for an hour, free to reek havoc on the servants and the other priests, but no, it turned me pink. PINK! (1)"

"Past life doesn't count! Not that it was real anyway"

Yami despite to moment had to release a small laugh, there was no persuading Seto "Well you kidnapped Grandpa several times, nearly made him loose his mind, not only did you hurt my precious hikari, you also set murderers and assassins after us in 'Death-T' (2) for your own childish jealously, honestly you've never given us reason to trust you, so why should I believe anything you say!"

"I said name one! And because your desperate, and your little gang look like they would rather rip your head off, then help you out""

He had to admit that was true, they had all looked extremely angry, he was pretty sure Jou and Tristan would have done some serious damage to him, if they got the chance.

"So what have you got in mind?"

"Well first of all, go after him, you need to explain, don't get angry don't get scared, just tell him. And make sure he knows that you love him and all that mushy stuff"

"Thanks for saving me from Jou and Tristan, i know i could have taken them, but don't want to risk it, them being my friends and all. Oh and Seto, i can see why you like him"

Seto merely smirked at him "Yami?"

"Yeah" he turned to look back at him

"If you tell anyone at all, what I told you, you die!" Seto gave him an icy glare to show him he meant the truth

Yami found himself laughing that, even thought he knew it to be true "Sure thing cuz"

"I'm not your cousin!!!"

Yami appeared in the courtyard, he sensed that Yugi was near, he could hear the faint sobs and the gentle comforting of Tea. He shuffled nervously as he approached them.

"Yugi?"

Yugi felt Tea stiffen, and so did he in return, she whispered in to his ear "Just say the word and I'll get rid of him"

"Yugi I need to talk to you" Yami sounded so upset and concerned Yugi gave in to his silent pleas.

"I'll be okay Tea" she nodded, however reluctantly

"If you say so Yugi" she gave him a quick hug, then walked back inside, brushing down the wrinkles on her dress. But not without sending a glare at Yami which clearly said "Screw up again and you're dead". He didn't need a mind link to know what she meant.

Yugi, stood up and looked towards Yami, the one who had shown him so much love and attention, only to throw it in his face.

"Yugi, why are you crying?"

"I'm not crying!" the innocent fiercely wiped the tears from his eyes, trying to stop the flow "see!" his eyes were red and lost their shine, but to Yami he still looked beautiful beyond measure.

"Aibou, I did this for you, I thought that it would make you happy, that you wanted this"

"I didn't want this, you lied to me, you betrayed me" the tears began to fall once again, yet he let them fall freely.

Each tear hit the floor with force, the sounds echoing in Yami's ears, each a reminder of how he'd let his hikari down, each a reminder that he'd failed.

"Why? Why did you do this? Was this another game to you? Did you do it out of pity? Did you feel sorry for me?"

Yugi directed all of his anger, hate and misery at his Yami.

"All this time, I thought you cared about me, I thought this Kurenai did too, for once in my life I believed that someone out there could possibly love me! But no, its just another lie, another joke. Why, why did you do this to me!"

"Because I love you!"

Yugi stared in shock at his other, unable to comprehend what he had just said.

"There I said it, I love you, I think I always have. I did this to show you how much I loved you, to make you feel special. To show you how much I care."

The tears continued to fall down the little ones face, yet he didn't seem to realise they were there. He just stared at his other, his eyes furrowed in confusion, trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together could he be telling the truth?

"I, err you, do? really?" Yugi choked on his words, not knowing what he should say to that.

Yami just smiled down at him, and moved closer to him, till he was directly in front of him.

Yugi continued to look at him, not moving, not doing anything, Yami wasn't even sure if he was breathing anymore, but the soft sound reached his ear, causing him to relax.

"I mean it Yugi, I swear" he cupped Yugi's face in his hands, and wiped away the little ones tears, Yugi's eyes regained their glow, as a smile appeared on his lips. Yami pulled him into an embrace, wrapping his arms round his hikari, refusing to let go.

Yugi smiled and buried himself in the crook of Yami's neck and wrapped his arms around Yami's waist, he melted into him as he felt Yami's hands run through his hair.

"Yugi"

"yes?" Yami hardly heard the whispered reply, he shifted slightly, and brought his hand from Yugi's head to his cheek, bringing his head out from his neck, delighted being able to see his beloved give off a content smile.

"I'm sorry for the hurt I put you through, I didn't expect you to react like you did" he saw Yugi's smile falter into a frown "Not that I expected you to jump into my arms, I didn't know what I expected. I suppose I didn't dare think, in case you rejected me. I love you Yugi, I don't ever want to leave you"

"It's ok, I forgive you. And I, Yami?"

Yami's fingers were placed under Yugi's chin, allowing the little one to look up as him.

"yes my light?"

"I um. When I said, I liked you, I meant it" blush covered his cheeks in an adorable way, he averted his eyes as he couldn't lower his head. He allowed his eyes to take a peering glace at Yami, his face radiated joy.

"You mean?"

"Yes Yami"

Yugi blushed as he thought of what would happen next, he anticipated it greatly

/I love you too/

Yami beamed down at Yugi, unable to hold back his urges, he plunged his lips softly onto Yugi's petal soft ones, capturing them in a kiss he had craved since he stopped the last one. Loving the surprised gasp Yugi had given, yet he relaxed into the kiss and returned his affections.

Yami held his hikari close to him, as they continued to kiss in the moonlight, the wind flowed gently though the trees, making soft music just for them.

The two broke apart, dazed appearances on their faces.

"Do you want to dance?"

Yugi laughed, amazed at how Yami could make him feel, one minute he was angry and upset the next, in utter bliss.

"I'd love to"

The two begin to dance, the wind their music, the stars their light, the moon the crystal ball, their own personal dance floor, their own personal world.

Valentines day came to a close for another year, Yugi wasn't so sure if he liked the holiday yet, but maybe next year could change his mind for good. He laughed to himself as he swayed in Yami's arms as they continued to dance under the stars, Yami looked lovingly at him and pulled him in for another kiss, which caused another smile to break upon Yugi's face. I could get used to this.

Yami look down on his perfect angel, his eyes shone in the moonlight, and his smile, his smile was breath taking. Yami felt he could stay like this forever dancing with his love under the night sky, he placed his lips upon Yugi's forehead, giving him a soft kiss, then on his nose, then small and soft upon Yugi's lips.

//I Love you Yugi. I always have and always will//
