Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ Breaking Barriers ❯ Chapter 5 ( Chapter 5 )

Yami-no-Yugi: Okay, it's time to make everything right. This chapter's gonna be good, I promise!

Yuugi: Yeah, yeah… it's gonna be full of angst and you know it.

Yami-no-Yugi: Don't listen to him, I plan to have this chapter be as fluffy as a cotton ball. It won't be lemon, but it will be limeish. (is that a word?) It's pretty obvious it could be a lemon, if you just fill in the blanks.

Yuugi: :: rolls his eyes ::

Yami-no-Yugi: Anyway… onto the fic!

Japanese dictionary

wakarimasu = I know (polite)

-kun = addresses someone as an equal

saa = well...

arigatou = thank you (informal)

BTW: I don't own Yugioh (I think I made that clear in the last four chapters.)

Chapter 5

Yuugi felt Yami stiffen as he spoke. He got the feeling that Yami wanted to be alone. "I'm sorry," he whispered as he got out of the bed and opened the door. /Wakarimasu, Yami. I was hoping you wouldn't love me, too. Now everything's gonna be harder for us./ Yuugi closed the door and rushed to Jounouchi's room, unaware of the tears on his cheeks. As he knocked on the door he wiped the tears away.

"Hold on!" Yuugi heard a voice call from within. A second later, Jounouchi opened the door. "Yuugi? What are you doin' here? I thought you went to sleep."

"Well, I can't sleep."

"What about the Pharaoh? You could talk to him," Jounouchi suggested. Yuugi looked down to hide his face. "Oh, I see. C'mon on in, Yuugi! Seth's still here, so you can talk to him, too."

Yuugi walked into the room and saw Seth sitting in the corner chair. "Hello, Yuugi. What's this I hear about Yami?"

"You know?"

Seth laughed. "Of course, everyone does. It's been obvious to everyone that knows Yami."

"So, what's wrong, Yuugi?" the blonde asked.

The boy sat on the bed. "I told him."

Jounouchi looked at his smaller friend. "What did he say?"

Yuugi started crying, startling Seth and Jounouchi. "He said… he said he loved me, too!"

Jounouchi looked confused. "I don't get it."

Seth sighed. "Yami told Bakura about this. Yami said that he didn't want to keep Yuugi here because he wanted to join his friends again. He said he wouldn't tell Yuugi his feelings because it would hurt more when they parted." Seth smiled at Jounouchi. "But that won't be such a problem, right, Jounouchi?"

Yuugi looked up just in time to see his friend blush. "Jounouchi-kun?"

"Well, you see… um… I'm gonna be staying here."

"You are?! Why?"

The blond smiled. "'Cause Seth asked me to. We just met, but… well, you know how it works, Yuugi."

Seth looked at Yuugi. "You should do what you want to do. Not what you should do. Just forget the consequences and do what you like."

"But I can't leave Ojii-chan. I have to do what's right."

Yuugi stood up to leave the room. But as he was leaving he heard Seth. "Yami told you about his parents, right? He's still not over it. If you're going to leave, don't hurt him."

Yuugi nodded, then left. /I just wish all my problems would go away. There's going to be no happiness for me and Yami, we both know that./

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Do you think they'll ever get together, Seth?" Jounouchi asked.

"Only if Yami quiets trying to be all noble. I guess we're just lucky we don't have as big of a heart as those two."

Jounouchi walked behind Seth's chair and put his arms around him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

//What was I thinking?// Yami mentally hit himself. //This won't be pretty in the morning. The Pharaoh got out of bed. //Still night. I wonder where Yuugi went off to.// He put on his robes and left for Bakura's room. //He'll knock some sense into me.//

He quickly made his way to Bakura's room. He opened the door without knocking and saw Bakura. "Bakura…?" //But, no… Bakura doesn't have those eyes. It's Ryou… I think that's what Yuugi called him.//

The boy shook his head. "No, it's me Ryou. Bakura's taking a shower."

Yami shook his head. //Just like Bakura to like someone who looks like himself. That narcissist.// "Maybe you could help me."

"I will try, Pharaoh."

"No, no, `Yami' is fine." He started pacing. "You've known Yuugi a long time right?"

Ryou nodded.

"Ah, I see you've met my new roommate, Yami." Bakura emerged wearing only a robe making Ryou blush.

"Roommate?" He looked at Bakura and Ryou.

"Yes. I asked him if he wanted to stay with me and he agreed."

Yami sighed. //Why does everyone else have such an easy time with love?// "I see."

Bakura smirked. "I'm sure you do, Yami. What brings you this late? I thought Yuugi was with you."

"Was. He left the room a short while ago. I was just about to ask some things about Yuugi, but I can see you two are getting ready to sleep. I'll just talk to you tomorrow." He turned to leave.

"You sure it's not important?" Ryou asked.

Yami nodded and left.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Bakura, what are going to do?" Ryou asked with concern.

"Well, right now, we're gonna get to bed. Tomorrow, we'll see what we can do to get Yuugi to stay. We've got two days. Yuugi plans on leaving after that second day." Bakura pulled Ryou to his feet.

"We'll need help," Ryou said.

The other grinned. "I know. Everyone is aware of what's going on with them and they'd be glad to help. They know Yami never got a break in life." He started dragging Ryou to the bed. "But now we sleep."

Ryou nodded and blushed.

"You blush too easily."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Malik probably won't be happy with a visit at this time of night. I guess I could go to Seth's room," Yami spoke to himself. He looked around at the palace he inhabited. //Such beauty. It means nothing though. It doesn't make me happy every morning when I wake up, Yuugi does.//

He opened the door to Seth's room, but found it empty. "Where is he?" //Perhaps he still stuck around with Yuugi's friend Jounouchi.// So, the Pharaoh walked to the room and opened the door. His eyes widened at the sight. //Seth and Jounouchi?!// He tried to leave them unnoticed, but failed. The couple ended their kiss and looked towards the Pharaoh.

"Um, hi!" Jounouchi said brightly.

Yami shook his head. "Sorry for the intrusion."

"Yuugi was just in here, if you want to know," Seth said.

"He was? Thank you. Good-night." Yami swiftly made his exit.

He walked down the hall towards his room. //I swear, if I see another couple I'm going to pin Yuugi down until he-// Yami had looked into the open doorway that led to Malik's room. //Why not?// He looked in and saw Malik and Marik moving about in the bed. //That is it! This is insane! Everyone but me can get their happy ending?!// Yami stormed to his room and slammed the door. "Dammit!" he yelled.

"Yami?" a voice whispered.

"Yuugi? You're here?" he turned and saw a figure on the bed.

The younger boy got out of the bed. "What's wrong?"

"Life. Everything is pitted against me so that the gods can laugh at me for their enjoyment."

"What do you mean?"

"Everyone gets to be with the one they love except me. I was denied my parents and now... I'm denied you."

Yuugi wrapped his arms around Yami. "Let's play a game," Yuugi whispered. Yami's ears perked up. "We're going to play pretend. The object of the game is for the next two days we forget that I'm leaving and instead I am going to stay here, forever."

"And what happens at the end of two days?" the Pharaoh asked softly.

"The game ends."

Yami nodded. "Saa... game, start." He bent down and captured Yuugi's lips with his own. //If this is all we can have, then I'm content.// Yuugi allowed Yami's tongue to enter his mouth and explore. //He tastes sweat.//

Yuugi broke away and lead them to the bed. "Yami, are you sure you're okay with this? It's just two-"

Yami put a finger to his lips. "Shh, the game has started." He claimed his lips once again, but this time he let Yuugi explore his mouth.

/He tastes so exotic./ Yami pulled Yuugi on to the bed with him. "Yami, I love you," he whispered.

Feeling the boy's hot breath against his brought Yami to another world. "I love you, too." He now knew what it meant when you love someone so much it hurts.

Their clothes were soon scattered about and hands roamed the other's body. Yami found many spots that Yuugi responded wildly to. Like the arch of his back and his sides. Yami especially loved his sides. With every touch, Yuugi would giggle; it was music to Yami's ears. "Yuugi, can I?" the Pharaoh asked as his hand ventured downward.

Yuugi nodded. "Yes, please." /And whoever said you're too old to play pretend?/

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yami and Yuugi woke up entwined in the sheets and their own limbs. Yuugi had rested his head on Yami's strong chest and the Pharaoh had wrapped his arms around the boy.

Or so is what Ryou and Bakura saw when they peeked through the door. "I guess they don't need our help," Ryou stated.

"It's about time something went right for Yami." They slid the door close. "Well, now that we have nothing planned for the morning, shall we go back to bed?"

The other boy's face turned red. "Um..."

"I'll take that as a yes." And Bakura literally dragged his lover to their room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Yami?" Yuugi looked at his now lover. "Arigatou."

"Anything for you." Yami held him tighter. There was a sudden knock at the door. The Pharaoh groaned. "Who's there?"

"It's me, Seth."

Yami untangled themselves from each other. But they couldn't hide the look on their faces. "Come in."

"I just wanted to know-" Seth stopped mid-sentence. "I'm sorry for interrupting."

"Pay back?"

Seth blushed. "No, I just wanted to see if everything was okay."

The ruler smiled. "Well, as you see, everything is fine." He pulled Yuugi closer to him.

"So, you decided to stay, Yuugi?"

The boy looked uncertain, but nodded anyway.

"Then I'll be leaving you and shall a cancel the councilor's meeting for you?"

Yami nodded gratefully.

"I'll see you later, then." Seth retreated from the room.

Yami looked down at Yuugi. "Let's get washed up, okay?"

The boy smiled and nodded.

They spent an hour in the washroom, mainly because Yami couldn't keep his hands off of little Yuugi. But after that hour they emerged clean and dressed. The Pharaoh had told Yuugi to wear the pyramid necklace to be safe. //This day is going to go rather well. Even if it is just a game.//

Yami-no-Yugi: Hey, does everybody like it? I've got some plans for those two! I'm sorry about how the other characters parts were short, but I needed them to be if I am going to finish this fic before I'm about Yami's age. He, he… for the next chapter I'm defiantly going to need to change this fic to be romance/angst... I'm just in that kinda mood I guess.

Yuugi: What's this I hear about a songfic?

Yami-no-Yugi: ::innocently:: What songfic?

Yami: ::that eye appears on his forehead:: You know what we're talking about!

Yami-no-Yugi: NO! Don't send me to the shadow realm, Yami! I'll tell you everything!

Yami: ::smirks::

Yami-no-Yugi: Well... I FINALLY got the Music to Duel By CD and I heard the full version of "No Matter What" and I KNOW it's supposed to be a Jounouchi-Yuugi song, but I'm gonna make a songfic with Yami/Yuugi... don't ask me how, I just am.

Yuugi: You know you shouldn't write more than one thing at a time. You'll get confused.

Yami-no-Yugi: I resent that. It'll be fine... I CAN do more than one thing at once.

Yami & Yuugi: ::laugh::

Yami-no-Yugi: Hmph! Well, fine, I'll just have to prove you two wrong then! ::storms off to write that songfic::

Yuugi: Maybe we were too hard?

Yami: I think so, Aibou.

Yuugi: Please review! She needs to be cheered up.

BTW: Does anyone know whose eye it is that appears on Yami's head? I've heard that it was Ra's and Horus', so I don't know what to put in the upcoming chapters. Help me!!!
