A/N - Now I'm sure all of you are viciously intent on killing me at the moment. So before I start this chapter I thought I should update you on what I plan to do with my stories.

Intruder Innocence: I will finish this story. I've come too far to just give up on it now, so don't any of you worry. It's just taking me longer than I initially planned.

Encantarte: I had so much planned for this story, but it seems I have grown tired of it quickly. Therefore I will try to finish this story, but it might take me a long time. Either that or I will just have to make longer chapters with pretty much a lot of everything bundled inside each one.

Klutz Amiss: I'm pretty sure I only have one chapter left to write for this one. I never wanted this story to be long in the first place. I just wanted Yugi and Yami to get together and for Atemu and Yami to accept each other. That was the whole plan and now I have achieved it so that story will be ending.

Tranced By a Genie: My inspiration to continue writing this story comes and goes. I'm honestly stumped as to how I can go about finishing this one. I know what I want to do with it, but it's very hard for me to write it all out.

Living the Life of a Pharaoh: Rewritten Edition: I just really dislike what I've done with this story. I deleted it once to make it better and now I can't figure out where I want to go with it. I don't like how I've made my characters, I don't like how I've written the story, I just don't like it. I'm seriously considering stopping this story altogether. Either that or I will put it up for adoption. It's just something on my shoulders that I don't need.

As you can see I am rather confused with my writing. More so with my fantasy stories. I love fantasy stories, but it seems I have a hard time writing them myself. I don't want to disappoint you guys, I don't want to be one of those writers who starts a story and never finishes it. It's not fair to you and I know that. But I just don't have fun writing these stories anymore. And when I'm not having fun, more than likely, my stories aren't going to be fun either. I'm pretty sure a lot of you have been in the same situation. Anyways… here's the next chapter for Intruder Innocence.


Yami sighed as he laced up his combat boots. He was not in the mood to go outside at night just to go fight a guy who had his head so far up his ass that he couldn't settle things in a calm, serene, way. He would much rather be sitting with Yugi on their couch, watching a movie and drinking soda's.

Yami pushed the front of his hair back with his hand while he grabbed the black bandana with his other one. He slipped it over his head and pushed it back just to where it would keep his bangs out of his face. Once he was sure he was ready he went to go check on Yugi who had been jumpy and agitated since the beginning of the day.

"Hey Yugi," Yami said loudly as he knocked on Yugi's bedroom door with his knuckles.

The door opened a minute later, revealing a fully dressed Yugi. Yami noticed that they were both wearing black cargo pants, combat boots, and black long sleeved shirts.

"The others should be downstairs in a few minutes," Yami informed as he grabbed Yugi's hand and led him towards the stairs.

"Remind me who's going to be taking part in this again."

"Uh…" Yami raised his eyes to the ceiling as he tried to remember. "You, me, Joey, Tristan, Duke, Kaiba, Talim, Bakura, Marik, Malik, and Ryou."

Yugi raised an eyebrow. "Wait, who's Malik and Ryou?"

"Bakura and Marik's boyfriends," Yami replied.

"Oh okay," Yugi nodded in understanding. "And wait, Talim is coming too?"

Yami made a humming sound as he nodded. Apparently there was a girl in Daichi's group and Talim wanted to take her on. She had told Yami that her brother had taught her some defense moves and also some attack moves so she would be okay.

"Yeah, it's gonna be hell," Yami muttered just as the sound of the doorbell went off.

He quickly strode across to the room to unlatch the locks on the door. As soon as he fixed the last one the door flew open, almost hitting Yami in the face as it did. He glared when his eyes connected with the chocolate brown ones of his friend.

"Hm…" Bakura sneered as he looked around the house. "Nice place."

Yami simply rolled his eyes as Bakura brushed past him. Marik came through next. He was smiling insanely while dragging his boyfriend, Malik, behind him. Ryou walked in slowly after them. He shook Yami's hand softly before making his way over to Yugi.

"Don't forget me you baka," another voice snarled.

Yami's eyes widened in shock as he looked over at the surprise visitor.

"Akefia? You came to?" Yami asked in disbelief.

Akefia was Bakura's cousin. He was known around town for stealing which got him locked up in jail every now and then. Yami noticed all of the rings that adorned Akefia's fingers. He could only guess that they were going to be used as an advantage for him when he was decking someone.

"Obviously," Akefia rolled his eyes before disappearing into the kitchen.

Yami reminded himself to check Akefia's pockets before he left.

"Guess who's here?" Joey's loud voice startled most of everyone in the room.

Everyone watched as Joey, Tristan, Duke, Kaiba, and Talim all filed into the room. Talim immediately made a beeline for Yugi and started hugging him much to Yugi's embarrassment. Ryou, who was beside him, covered his mouth with his hand as he chuckled.

"Okay, well, it looks like everyone is here," Yami said as he counted each person in the room. "Should we head out?"

"Wait!" Talim shouted, "Suzuki is coming too!"

"Who's Suzuki?" Joey asked.

Just then Suzuki appeared outside of the door. She gave cautious looks to Bakura and his group, but gave a small smile when she saw Talim and Yugi.

"Um, well, okay then…" Yami said unsurely. "Now can we go?"

"Wait!" Talim repeated.

"Bloody hell woman!" Bakura spat irritably.

Talim ignored him as she dug around in her back pocket. Seconds later she held up a thing of black lipstick. Without even asking she grabbed Yugi and swiped some of the lipstick underneath his eyes.

"There!" She smiled happily.

Yugi blinked in confusion as he slowly moved his hand to touch the streaks on his face.

"What's that for?" he asked as he watched Talim do the same thing to her own eyes.

"Intimidation!" she cheered happily.

"More like humiliation," Bakura mumbled to Marik.

Yami sighed loudly which caught everyone's attention. Without another word he went outside. Yugi quickly hurried after him and everyone else followed.


Yami glanced at his watch and saw that it was 8:57. Him and everyone else was behind the station as planned, but Daichi and his gang had yet to show themselves. Yami honestly hoped that they wouldn't show up. He didn't want any of his friends getting hurt and he most certainly didn't want Daichi touching his tenshi.

"Speak of the devil," Yami heard Duke say.

He turned around and saw Daichi and his friends sauntering towards them in the moonlight. Yami instantly snarled at the sight of the man. But what really surprised him was seeing Tea walking behind Daichi. What the hell was she doing!

"I'm surprised you showed up," Daichi's voice cut through the air like a knife.

Out of the corner of his eye, Yami saw Bakura and Marik sizing up Daichi's group. Akefia was looking each individual person over with a blank expression.

"Yeah, yeah, now how do you want to do this?" Yami asked hurriedly.

His nerves were starting to get the better of him.

"Me against your strongest guy," Daichi said.

Yami's group looked around at each other, unsure of who the strongest actually was out of all of them. Of course they all had their own personal opinions…

"That would be me you big ugly bitch," Akefia stated as he shoved his way to the front of the group.

Surprisingly nobody disagreed.

Daichi looked Akefia over and snarled. His eyes narrowed at the challenge. "So be it," Daichi shrugged.

Everyone became quiet and got into their fighting positions as Akefia and Daichi slowly closed the distance from each other. Daichi was the first to strike and that's when everyone made their own move.

Punches were thrown, kicks to the ribs were attempted, and even wrestling took place.

Yami punched a guy in the face, but was immediately taken down as someone else swiped his legs out from underneath him. They kicked him in the thigh before Yami rolled of to the side and jumped back onto his feet. He got two more good punches to the guys face before the guy punched him in the stomach. Slightly winded, he stumbled back a few steps to catch his breath.

Yugi was rather far off from everyone else as he and another guy fought. The guy came running at Yugi which sent both of them backwards. They rolled down a hill until they landed in the pond below. Yugi quickly rolled over and backhanded the guy across the face. The guy retaliated by grabbing the back of Yugi's head and shoved it under the murky water. Yugi struggled for a second before he jabbed his elbow into the other boys ribs, successfully making him let go of his hair. They continued to throw punches at each from there. Yugi landed a high kick to the guys jaw and almost grinned when the guy fell back into the pond. He stood there panting to catch his breath before he felt a hand around his ankle. He was soon being dragged across the now muddy soil.

Back at the top of the hill Marik and Bakura were both taking two guys at a time. They were both quick to dodge punches and even quicker to deliver kicks. Bakura received a hard blow to his temple that made him stagger backwards. Marik quickly covered him as Bakura tried to make his vision come back into focus.

Malik and Ryou had ganged up and were both helping each other. Malik did more of the fighting while Ryou tended to stand back a bit. He wasn't as physically built as the others. Well, then again, neither was Yugi, but Yugi at least had the skill to fight.

Akefia was laughing maniacally every time he got a clean shot to Daichi's face. His rings were doing a number on Daichi's skin which was now covered in red welts from all the scratching and deeply puncture marks. Akefia had some blood dribbling out of the corner of his mouth, but otherwise he seemed to be the one doing most of the damage out of the two of them.

Yami wasn't sure how much more he could take. While he kept aiming towards the face the guy he was fighting was aiming more towards his stomach, leaving him winded repeatedly.

Yugi and his guy were both covered from head to toe in mud. Yugi's hair looked like a nest with all of the mud, leaves, and twigs raked into it. All of the mud was making his movements more sluggish. Also fighting in the pond water was weighing him down and draining his energy.

Bakura had regained his sight for the most part although everything would blur every now and then making him dizzy.

"Retreat!" someone yelled loudly.

No one was exactly sure who said it, but everyone seemed to take off in separate directions. Daichi's guys all disappeared beyond the station. Daichi was the last to follow. It seemed he wasn't the one who had made the order, yet he knew sticking around by himself wouldn't be to his advantage.

Yami sighed in relief as he slowly moved back to where Bakura and Marik were. Bakura was constantly rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand while Marik seemed to be nursing a certain part of his left hand. Akefia had disappeared as soon as Daichi ran off, but Yami wasn't too worried about him.

"Yugi!" he shouted as he tried to look out into the black night.

He saw everyone else making their way over. They all looked just as bad as he felt. He tried not to worry about them as he continued to call out Yugi's name. He became frantic when he heard no reply. What if Daichi had taken Yugi without him knowing?

"YUGI!" he yelled even louder, unaware of the sympathetic looks he was getting from his friends.

Even Talim was too worn out from fighting Tea to try and help.

"Ya…Yami…" Yugi called out from the side of the hill.

His figure soon appeared much to everyone's relief. He slowly limped his way towards Yami who was silently looking him over. He couldn't even see Yugi's face there was so much mud on it.

"What happened to you?" Yami asked as he grabbed Yugi's elbows to help balance him.

He mentally cringed as the smell of mud invaded his nose, but tried to ignore it as he slung Yugi's arm around his neck.

"Fell in the pond…" Yugi said before he spat into the ground.

Yami was about to question him further, but the sound of a gunshot interrupted him. He spun around in panic and began to count how many people were actually gathered.

"Where's Suzuki?" he heard Talim ask in a worried tone.

Everyone turned their heads to look for her, but Talim's mysterious friend was no where in sight.


Me: Dun, dun dun!

Jay: That was a really boring fight.

Me: Yeah it was. It's hard trying to focus on all of the characters and write out what they're doing and make it sound dramatic at the same time!

Jay: Indeed.

Me: Gomenasai. I tried to prolong the chapter for as long as I could, but I ended up rushing it.
