Summary: [For Yamiko Love is silly. Both simple and complex. It can drive a man insane or save him from insanity. Men have fought wars over less, but things become very simple when it is a man and a woman, because then, there is nothing else. SxP Opticshipping
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh or any places, people and/or other things you are familiar with from the show or anything else. The plot, however, is mine.
A/N: As I think about this now, this piece should have been tagged on at the end of the last chapter. As it is, it's being put up as a prelude to Chapter Two.
