Chapter 6

Soulmates Rebonded

~ Yuugi and Yami ~

"Hey Aibou." Yami said softly, not wanting to startle the short (Yuugi: Hey!) hikari.

"Yami, weird ne? I mean, after 5000 years, we meet again, I as a human, you as a 500-year-old spirit. Sometimes, I curse Fate." Yuugi smiled sadly.

"Koi, don't curse you guardian. She might hear you." Yami consoled his love.

"Yami?"

"Yes, love?"

"Don't leave me again."

"I promise."

"Pinky promise?"

Yami smiled as he hooked his left pinky with his love's right pinky.

"Pinky promise."

"Yami?"

"Yes?"

"Remember the first time we met?"

"Couldn't forget it."

~ Flashback ~

Four-year-old Prince Yami of Saturn was in Onyx Castle library, when his father's massager sent for him.

Kneeling before his parents with his three-year-old sister, Yami asked, "You summoned us, father?"

"Yes," King Hades replied. "Yami, Hotaru, this is Prince Yuugi of the Astral Realm. As you know, his parents were killed by Dread. Chronos has given us this privilege to bring him up and train him so that he could control the Astral Crystal along with his sister."

Yami stole a look at the young prince with the corner of his eye. What really shocked Yami was how similar Yuugi resembled him. The only differences were their height and the colour of their eyes. Yuugi's was a violet that shone with innocence. Yami's was a dark indigo that reflected confidence.

"Father, may I be bold to ask, what happened to the princess?" Hotaru asked. (How three-year-olds can speak in complete sentences is really beyond me. But, hey, this is a fic, right?)

"Don't worry, little firefly," King Hades answered. "Your fellow sailor senshi is safe on Jupiter."

"Oh." Hotaru said, relieved for her best female friend.

"Yami, would you be so kind as to take Yuugi to his room? I am sure the young prince would be quite jet-lagged with 3 hours of travel." Queen Averna requested.

"I understand, mother." Yami bowed, before leading Yuugi to his room.

"So, should I call you Prince Yami, Prince Thanatos or just plain Yami?" Yuugi asked, attempting to strike conversation. (Ditto with four-year-olds)

Yami raised an eyebrow. "How did you know my formal name?" he asked.

"My sister insisted on me learning the formal names of all the planetary royals." Yuugi grimaced and made a face.

Chuckling, Yami said, "Interesting sister you have. I would prefer you call me Yami, little one."

"Hey!" Yuugi exclaimed.

"It's true, you are short."

Yuugi pouted, "I resent that."

~ End of flashback ~

Laughing, Yami said, "5000 years, and you are still short. Although, I find your pout pretty cute back then."

Yuugi frowned playfully, "Yami." he whined.

Yami sighed. "5000 years and I never get tired of his whinings." He thought.

"I heard that." Yuugi warned through their soulmate link.

"Eavesdropping?" Yami teased back.

"Stop that or I would not kiss you." Yuugi threatened.

"Oh," Yami said, raising an eyebrow, "I would like to see how long you can last without kissing."

"Arghh! I give up." Yuugi exclaimed, throwing up his hands.

Bending, so his breath was in Yuugi's ear, Yami said, "Yuugi-kins, you should know by now you will never win a verbal war with me."

Yuugi sighed, "You are right, as always. Yami, just shut up and kiss me already."

Pulling his hikari to him, Yami whispered, "Thought you never asked." Then, he engulfed the shorter light with kisses.

(Fluffy, I think. Any comments?)

******** And so ends the section with Yuugi and Yami. Next stop, Bakura and Hotaru. ********

"So, what was that all about?" Hotaru asked, turning to the white-haired yami.

Bakura shrugged. "Guess I just missed you."

"Just missed me?" Hotaru shot back, almost shouting.

"Whoa, cool it firefly. I don't want to be sent to Hell so soon." Bakura said, backing off a little at his slightly ticked off girlfriend.

Casting a death glare at him, Hotaru's eyes softened, knowing that she could not hold up her cold glares for long around him.

"Baku-chan, I felt SO lonely back at the SM dimension. The only friends I have are Rini and the Outers." Hotaru sobbed, clinging to Bakura's chest.

Bakura blushed slightly at the old nickname she had given him.

Then, he shot up, "What happened to the Inners?" he questioned.

"Ami was the only one who was kind to me. Rei, Serena, Lita and Mina treated me like I wasn't part of the team." Hotaru continued.

"Wait a minute, who is Rini?" Bakura asked.

"Serena's future daughter. She came from the 30th century." Hotaru replied, drying up her tears.

Bakura nodded. Hotaru is the Scout of Death, Destruction and Rebirth. Naturally, most of the senshi would fear her.

Hotaru sniffled. "Enough about me." She smiled. "Remember how we met?"

Bakura gave a genuine smile (never heard of) and said, "Of course."

~ Flashback ~

Place: Astral Realm

Age: Early to late teens

"Introducing Hotaru Tomoe, Crown Princess Persephone of Saturn, Sailor Saturn, Scout of Death, Destruction and Rebirth." Croons announced.

Hotaru bowed politely at the Time God.

Bakura snorted, before remarking, "That weak girl is the Death Senshi?"

Hotaru shot a look at Bakura, before giving her brother a "let-me-handle-this" look. Yami nodded.

In a split second, Hotaru's glaive was thrust at Bakura's throat. "Take that as a warning, baka. Us senshi are as strong as you knights are."

"I would take that seriously, Bakura." Ami stated. "Saturn's full power can easily be rivaled to ours." She said, pointing to her and Yuugi.

Bakura gulped. He was sure he would not want to piss Hotaru off.

~ End of flashback ~

Hotaru shook her head, "Definitely a rocky start."

Bakura nodded, "Then, when we got to know each other better, we got together."

Hotaru laughed, "The 2 of us were the odd couple, ne?"

Bakura shook his head, "The odd coupling award should go to Kaiba and Jonouchi."

Hotaru nodded in agreement, "Classic case of opposites attract, those 2."

Bakura laughed, "Yeah, Ami-hime had to play a trick for them to admit to each other."

Hotaru giggled, "I couldn't forget about it. Heck, she even dragged Mokuba into it."

Bakura sobered down before saying, "Hotaru, whatever happens after this, we will be together for all eternity."

Hotaru smiled and answered, "I promise," before sealing Bakura's lips in a kiss.

******** Bakura and Hotaru done. Next couple, Marik and Malik********

/Hikari, Ashiteru, my sea prince. /

/Yami, where are you? / Malik asked.

"Behind you, koi." Malik whispered, wrapping his arms around the Neptune prince.

"Ashiteru yami, forever." Malik whispered, sealing his yami's lips in a kiss.

In this way, the 2 best-friends-cum-lovers reignited their passion.

Resting his head on Marik's chest, Malik remarked "Marik-koi, remind me to thank Ami-hime for getting us together."

Marik looked down at his hikari and replied, "Yeah, she did set the beginning stages. Then, the both of us worked the rest out." Smiling at the memory, both lovers sighed.

~ Flashback ~

On Marik's 13th birthday, Princess Astral handed him a box, wrapped in his planetary color, before telling him to open it in private. Turning her head before she went back, Ami had told him to see her after Mailk's birthday if he still did not understand what the gift meant.

^^ 2 months later ^^

On Malik's 13th birthday, the same thing happened to Malik.

After the party, both the Outer princes went to see the Astral Princess. Looking down at the 2wooden-curved Mandarin ducks on their palms, Ami whispered something into their ears. Then, she turned to catch her ride, leaving behind 2 blushing princes in her wake.

~ End of flashback ~

Giggling at the memory, Malik said, "How ridiculous we must have looked." Then, he brightened up, as if remembering something. Turning to his yami, Malik said slyly, "If I remember, a certain Uranus prince promised me a one-on-one basketball match. Still up for it?"

"You are on, hikari." Marik replied. "Last one to the court is a rotten egg."

"Hey, no fair yami. You had a head start." Malik yelled, running after his crazed boyfriend.

******** ^Sweatdrop^ Marik and Malik done. Next stop Kaiba and Jonouchi ********

~ Kaiba and Jonouchi (honestly, these 2 are the hardest pair by far.) ~

"Hey, pup." Kaiba said softly.

Nuzzling his boyfriend, Jonouchi said, "Ironic, huh? The 2 of us argue all the time. And in the end, we turn out to be lovers."

"Yeah, although I have to give Ami-hime credit for getting us together."

"No, joking. I still couldn't believe we fell for that trick."

Kaiba sighed, "She had been reading too much Shakespearean prose and decided to apply it on us."

"Ami, the matchmaker strikes again. And I thought that was my department."

"Cupid, you know you can't solve your own love problems."

"I know, Hermes." Jonouchi jolted up and asked, "Were we THAT obvious?"

Kaiba shrugged, "Dunno. But Ami-hime and Prince Yuugi sure caught us."

"Seto, promise me that history will not repeat itself."

"I am not sure about that, Jonouchi. But I can promise you that we will be together forever."

"Thanks, Seto."

******** Short, I know. Last couple, Ami/Ryou ********

Ami glanced wistfully at the view on the balcony

Smiling, she thought of all the fun times she had back then and also of the comfort her love always provided.

// Why, thank you.// Ryou voiced, via their soulmate link.

// Eavesdropping?// Ami questioned back.

// Didn't have to. You are broadcasting like a radio antenna, dear. I could hear you 2 miles off.//

//Gomen.// Ami apologized.

"Who says I didn't like it?" Ryou muttered behind her.

"Now, who's eavesdropping?" Ami shot back.

"Sorry."

"Tea?" Ryou asked.

Ami nodded, "The usual."

"So, why ya thinking?" Ryou asked, wrapping his arms around her.

Ami shot him a smile, "Remember how we got Kaiba and Jonouchi together?"

Ryou blinked, "Couldn't forget it." He laughed. "It was hilarious."

~ Flashback ~

Couples presently: Ami/Ryou, Yuugi/Yami, Malik/ Marik

Walking through the gardens, Ami suddenly asked, "Do you guys notice anything strange lately?"

Five headshakes

"Kaiba and Jonouchi seem to be throwing more insults at each other nowadays." Ami stated.

"So?" Yami asked.

"Is this a good thing or a bad thing?" Yuugi questioned.

"Depends on how you look at it." Ami replied.

"As in?'

"From what I see, it looks more like romantic jesting."

All ,except Ami fall vaulted.

"WHAT?" Ami questioned.

"You honestly think THAT?" five voices asked at the same time.

Ami nodded, "Kaiba just told me he had a crush on Jonouchi the other day."

Yuugi added, "Come to think of it, Jonouchi sort of confessed to me that he liked Kaiba."

Ami turned to her twin, "Thinking what I'm thinking?"

Yuugi nodded, "Matchmaker time." (Taken from Bananas in PJs. Couldn't resist.)

The other 4 groaned in despair.

"Ryou, you are helping us on this one. I will leave the rest of you alone." Ami announced.

"Why, me?" Ryou asked.

"You are the only one who won't screw up like these 3 here." Ami stated.

Turning to the 2 boys, Ami said, "Meet me at the peach blossoms." Then, she ran off.

20 minutes later ~ ~ ~

Ami arrived with Hotaru and Mokuba. After discussing the plan, Ami said, "You guys know what to do." Everyone nodded.

Mokuba ran off to get Kaiba. Ryou and Yuugi disappeared.

Feeling that Kaiba was near, Ami and Hotaru begun.

"No, honestly, firefly. He is too proud to admit it."

"But, are you sure that Jonouchi loves Kaiba so completely?' Hotaru asked.

Ami replied," So says my brother and my fiancé. They had begged me to tell Kaiba. However, I persuaded them that if they respected Jonouchi, we should never let Kaiba know of Jonouchi's love, lest he made fun of it."

"Oh, a collection of lamps came in yesterday. Would you, like to take a look?" Ami asked.

"Sure." Hotaru nodded. The 2 girls walked off, leaving Kaiba to ponder about their conversation.

~ While the above was going on ~~

Mokuba had dragged Jonouchi to the pavilion in the garden. Then, he ran off.

Overhearing some careless talk between Ryou and Yuugi, Jonouchi could not help but hear all they said.

"Come on, Yuugi. What was it you told me the other day, something about your sister mentioning that Kaiba was in love with Jonouchi? Heck, I don't think that guy could love anyone."

"Neither did I, Ryou." Answered Yuugi. "It is most wonderful that he should so love Jonouchi, whom, Kaiba in all his outward gestures seem to hate him."

Yuugi continued to say that Ami had told him Kaiba was so in love with Jonouchi that he would certainly die lovelorn, if Jonouchi did not return his love.

Ryou noted that this was impossible since the 2 had always argued and insulted each other.

Yuugi nodded, saying, "It would be good that Jonouchi was told this."

Ryou raised an eyebrow, "How come? Jonouchi would laugh about it, grieving Kaiba even more."

Then, Yuugi made a sign for them to walk on, leaving Jonouchi to think what he had just heard. (Anyone familiar with Shakespeare should recognize this was taken from "Much Ado about Not.")

~~~~~ After that ~~~~

"Phase 1 complete." Ami said.

"Phase 2. Mokuba, ready?" Ami asked.

Mokuba nodded. "Anything for big brother."

Then, he took off.

"You sure this is going to work?' Ryou asked his fiancée.

"If this doesn't nothing will." Ami said affirmatively.

"Poor Mokuba, he is going to be so tired after this." Hotaru remarked.

~~~~ Meanwhile ~~~~

Mokuba had passed a note to Kaiba, before running off to pass a similar one to Jonouchi.

Kaiba opened the note and it read:

Kaiba:

Meet me at the forest clearing. I have something to I want to say.

Jonouchi

Jonouchi's note was of the same content, except the names were reversed.

~~~~ 15 minutes later ~~~~

"Kaiba?"

"Jonouchi?"

"Do you have something to say?" Jonouchi asked

"No, I thought you did." Kaiba replied.

"Well, if you have nothing to say, then I must be going." Jonouchi said, turning to walk off.

"Wait." Kaiba replied, grabbing Jonouchi's wrist. "Actually, I do."

Pulling the Venusian prince to him, Kaiba whispered, "Ashiteru Jonouchi."

Jonouchi smiled and replied, "Love you too, frosty."

Then, the 2 ex-enemies kissed.

Behind a cluster of trees, silent whoops of joy and high fives were heard.

Breaking up, Jonouchi said, "Guess their plan worked."

Kaiba nodded, "Ami-hime has always been the ingenious one."

~~~ End of flashback ~~~

Ami laughed, "Second couple I put together."

Ryou quirked an eyebrow.

"First one being Malik and Marik."

"What did you do?" Ryou asked.

Ami explained what she did, from the point of Marik's birthday right up to the end of Mailk's birthday.

Ryou smiled, "And I thought what the heck happened between those 2."

Turing a serious face, Ryou said, "Ames, I know I asked this before, but I want to ask you again. Will you marry me?'

Ami smiled, "Koi, my answer is still the same 5000 years after. Yes. That's why I never took the ring off."

Hugging her happily, Ryou said, "Ashiteru Ames, forever and all eternity."

Ami nodded, "And not even till death do us part." That's why the "Foreverafter" bracelet is still on me."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Phew, finally finished~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
