Ok. I wanted to put this up fairly early because I just got the most interesting review from someone. They pointed out that I was using 'then' instead of 'than' and I just want to say that this was done on purpose. I do it only because most people don't notice it. So thank you, Blue September, for being the very first person to have noticed this in ANY of my stories. Congrats. Seriously people didn't ever realize. Not doubting their intelligence, but for this to be the first time anyone pointed it out is kind of ridiculous. As for your gift for noticing, I made this one longer. The first one had about 800 words, the second, about 1100. When writing I was aiming for at least 1500 words. Oh and I'll do my best about correcting the other chapters and I made sure not to mess up too bad on this one .

Also I'd like to announce I'm going from their English dubbed names to their Japanese names. I only have the first Manga, so if I get any of the ones wrong, I'm sorry. Also I'll be including the transition from the English names to the Japanese because it took a little research to see who was who.

Jounouchi – Joey

Anzu – Tea

Honda – Tristan

Otogi – Duke Devlin

And I noticed something I did in the first chapter. When I was talking about Yugi's grandpa, I found out looking in the Manga I used the wrong name. . Only reason is because in the English anime, I think that one other old guy called him Solomon. He was that girl's, Rebecca, grandpa. So if you're really anal about names and spelling and grammar and other things I messed up, I'm sorry.

Yugi's grandpa – Sugoroku (Yugi calls him Ji-chan if I remember correctly)


"Aibou…? Are you ok? You seem distressed…" Yami was worried when he saw the younger male looking so worried and thinking so hard. Yugi sat him down on his bed and sat beside him making the bed dip evenly between the two.

"Well Yami… there have been a lot of changes. A lot of big changes too. Good and bad. Which do you want to hear first?" Yugi asked nibbling at hi own bottom lip as he tried to think of all the changes that had happened.

"Well… I'll ask questions and then you answer them. Anything left out you will fill me in on, sound good?" Yami received an approving nod from his Aibou. "Ok… so what have you been doing lately?"

Yugi brightened a bit. "Well I'm in college and obviously I've physically matured a lot." He said it smugly and grinned, which made Atemu laugh lightly.

"Only physically?" the Egyptian asked teasingly. He saw the scowl on the other male's face and laughed again as Yugi stuck his tongue out at him.

"Anyway…" Yugi continued as though he was slightly annoyed, but his voice brightened into its normal innocent, naive and carefree sound. "I'm doing well I think. I'm in an art class, a piano class, a math and ancient history class. History is my favorite though that and piano class."

Atemu nodded his understanding. "Well? Is that it? No relationships? No fights or friends that don't talk to you?" He couldn't help but feel that worry; he was always worried for his Aibou.

"Well… I am in a relationship… with someone from the gang." Yugi's face turned a dark shade of crimson. He wasn't so much embarrassed by that fact, but because he'd forgotten Yami hadn't been around so he didn't know something which was obvious to everyone else.

"Oh…? Who is it?" Atemu grinned as he noticed Yugi's face turning darker red by the second. Who was it that Aibou decided was good for him? He was happy to know that Yugi as least seemed content with his normal life. Though he didn't know who it was, he knew who it wasn't. If it had been Anzu, he'd have just said it. Atemu figured that meant it left Jounouchi, Otogi, Marik, Ryou and Seto.

Yugi smiled brightly, his eyes now holding pride instead of his embarrassment over the situation. "Jounouchi," Yugi said, his blush all but hiding itself under his amethyst eyes.

Atemu smiled the instant the name left Yugi's lips and nodded his approval. He released a breath he didn't know he was holding until it came from him in a rush of misplaced relief. "I knew it would happen eventually. I really don't know how I knew, I just did."

Yugi couldn't help his amused look as he watched the ruby eyes fill with joy, happiness and relief. He didn't understand the latter until he really thought about it. He was thinking of Kaiba, wasn't he? Yugi was more amused by this because he knew more so than the other male thought he knew, or perhaps more then Yami knew for himself.

"Hmm… So is Jounouchi in college with you?" Atemu asked, unable to keep his mind from wandering from one person to another.

"Yes," Yugi stated with a bright smile on his face as his eyes swelled more with his pride for his blond lover. "Jounouchi is in my art class, but he's in a journalism class and studying to become a writer. Honestly when he told me about that I laughed and told him to quit joking. I think he's still hurt about that, but I have every faith in him. He's doing much better than I'd ever imagined. Along with his journalism class, he's taking poetry, and a creative writing class. I think he also is taking a textiles class. That reminds me, he's coming over tomorrow."

"Well Jou sure has come a long way. What about Honda? What's he up to?" He figured Honda was so in love with Jounouchi's sister and still best friends with the blond, he was still around. He was nearly one hundred percent sure. That is, until Yugi's face twitched into something a little less happy.

"Well… We stay in touch but after Jounouchi's sister agreed to go out with him, they both went to the states to study. Last time I checked my email, he said they were going to be here at least another two or three years before they even thought about coming back. He said the way things were going they'd just live there instead of coming back. I'm not really sure if it was meant as a good thing or bad thing though. It was pretty vague." Yugi informed him, obviously surprising the other immensely.

"Didn't see that coming," Atemu admitted. "Well what about Otogi? Surely he's still around?" He was trying to brighten the mood back up. He hadn't meant to make the other feel bad about what Honda had done.

"Otogi…? Well his business with Industrial Illusions is still great. Surprisingly he managed to snag Isis as a girlfriend. Things are going well for them. He's bragging that he proposed and she accepted. It really kind of blew all of our minds when we heard." Yugi had a feeling about who Yami was going to ask about next.

"What about Marik? How has he been?" Atemu was seriously worried about him. He didn't know why, but he supposed he felt like the fellow Egyptian was like his little brother (though it was more like big brother now).

"Marik… is doing well. He is still trying to adjust to his duties being gone. What a shock he'll have once he sees you again." Yugi snickered at the thought. "And before you ask, Bakura is just fine as well. He and Marik are in a steady relationship. Now that their evil possession is over, they really hit it off. That wasn't as shocking to me as it was to everyone else."

Atemu was hesitant to ask about the girl. He'd never really cared for her much, but she was there when he was confused about his past and was there when he needed someone to listen to him other then his Aibou. Even if their date was all museum stuff and boring dancing which he pouted all through out; He hated being stuck there, but it was better than being stuck in the Millennium puzzle, he supposed.

Yugi stood up and stretched a bit. He knew he was going to need sleep soon, but he wanted to explain some of the things to Yami before he went to bed. He went over to his dresser and grabbed two pairs of clothing. A pair of pajamas with boxers was one pair. They were light blue with dark purple swirls on them. The other pair of clothing was a pair of black leather pants and a black tank top. "Hope you don't mind…. It's the only thing I really wear and you didn't seem to mind them last time…"

Yami smiled and nodded. "They're fine. I don't mind at all." His words were sincere and he went to the bathroom to change. If he was to be honest, he preferred Egyptian clothing, but he knew he'd never fit in if he even tried to wear them outside. He let all his Pharaoh Garments pool to the floor as he also gently set his heavy golden trinkets on the counter. The only things he kept on were his earrings, arm bracers and the series of golden chokers on his tanned neck. He took off his bulky head piece and suddenly realized just how heavy everything was. As he pulled on the boxers and other clothing that had been provided for him, he realized just how much softer Egyptian cloth was. He didn't know why he noticed seeing as he never noticed something so small before.

He shrugged it off as he took off the rings on his fingers. He picked up the clothing on the floor and slung it over the empty towel rack and exited the bathroom, going back to Yugi's room to find him dead asleep, causing the darker of the two to chuckle. "Aibou… You fall asleep so easily… Though I have no room to talk; I could use a good sleep as well…" He yawned and lay down next to Yugi. It would be a while before he fell asleep.

I wonder what Kaiba and Mokuba are doing? Anzu and Yugi's Ji-chan… Everything is so very confusing to me. So much is being left out of the big picture… Nothing is sitting well with me; especially not that Honda thing… It's nerve racking and it's kind of scary. Yami shook his head violently. Thinking like that wouldn't help him right now. Not at all until Yugi was awake to give him the answers he needed. He lay for the next hour, staring at the back of his lids before deciding he wouldn't sleep and went to meddle in the kitchen when he'd heard his stomach growl in need for nutrition.


AN: I hope that helped. I know it's not a lot more, but Oh well. I put in a good effort and I did my best to try and correct my faults at spelling and grammatical defects. If anyone notices anything more, please, please PLEASE tell me so I can fix them! I hate it when something is over looked and it just really irks me. I want to become a writer, so if you don't correct me, I can't write the novel I've been working at really really hard. It's part of the reason I got into writing fanfiction on this site.
