A/N: don't ask. that's all I'm saying.
I'll put them in this chapter ONLY, okay? I DON'T OWN YU-GI-OH!



He was going to see him again. Once, just once, I wish I could go with him. Instead, I'm dropped off at Ryou's house as usual, and I watch sullenly as he walks away. Our link has been closed for about five seconds now, and already I feel the lonliness setting in. Wearily, I allow Bakura to lead me to the living room, where I join Ryou, Malik, and Marik in watching movies.
But my mind wasn't on movies, it was on the pain and lonliness that had been going on for only a few weeks. But the past three weeks have seemed like a year. Our link used to always be open, and Yami would always let me sleep in his arms. That first night when he picked me up, he went into his Soul Room. I should have known then that something was wrong...
I was brought out of my reverie when Ryou placed a hand on my shoulder. "Yugi, is everything okay?"
His question made me want to scream "No, everything isn't okay! My Yami's been going to see Seto Kaiba every night for the past three weeks and leaving me with a closed Soul Link!" but instead I just smiled weakly and said, "Hai, I'm fine, Ryou."
Ryou seemed to sense what I wanted to say, though, because he sat down next to me and wrapped his arms around me in a friendly hug. "We're your friends, Yugi. You can go ahead and say whatever it is you want while you're here."
It was Bakura that gladly voiced his opinion then. "If that damn Pharaoh is going to just let his hikari stay with us while he goes with Kaiba, then who's to say we can't keep him here, Ryou? It's obvious that he's too caught up with Kaiba to even notice his own light's suffering..."
Marik readily agreed. "The Pharaoh thinks us cruel to our own hikari, but he's hurting his own far worse than rumors say we ever have..."
A little background information might be necessary at this point: Unlike what Yami and I originally thought, Marik and Bakura weren't at all abusive to Malik and Ryou. In fact, they were both very funny once you got to know them. It's just that those two are hell-bent on getting rid of my Yami, and his ignoring me has simply fueled their hatred of him.
Quietly, I voiced what was running through my head. "You can't know what it's like, to be completely cut off from your other... Every time I try to even talk to him, it's blocked..."
I felt a tear slide silently down my cheek. Brushing it away, I tried to focus on the movie that was playing. When I saw, I went beet red. Somehow, either Bakura or Marik (though I wouldn't be surprised if it was Ryou or Malik that had done it) had gotten their hands on several yaoi hentai movies. Seeing this, Bakura laughed. "Still the innocent one, hm? You'll get used to it... Sooner or later..."
I could somehow sense the yami's thought of 'Hopefully sooner...' Not knowing whether it would be implied towards my own yami or towards himself, I decided not to pursue my gut instinct any further.
Trying to fight off the blush that was so obvious on my face, I watched the movies, completely aware that the two sets of yami and hikari that I was with were starting to make out. Hastily, I excused myself and headed towards the bathroom. Once in there, I locked the door shut and cried myself to sleep...


A/N: you likies, peeps? ^^ I hope I did a good job of building up the angst factor. Later on, this fic will become a crossover with an AU of Ronin Warriors. Not until later, tho, for all those peeps in the RW section wondering where Sage, Rowen, and all the other RW bishies are gonna come in... :-P R&R, peeps! ^^
