Chapter 10

~*~*~A MONTH LATER~*~*~

Yami was awakened by a soft knock at his door. He groaned and turned to face the door. "Come in!"

"Yami, I have come to tell you that the village is fully built."

"Thanks, Seth. Maybe I'll go see it later today after Yuugi awakens." Yami smiled feeling his love move to wrap his arms around the Pharaoh. //Of course, we can always pretend you were VERY tired.//

/No, I wanna go see it, too. And so I can see my grandpa again./

Yami laughed. //You just saw him two nights ago.//

Yuugi ran his hand down to Yami's sensitive spot. /But I still wanna check on him,/ he said innocently.

//Alright, alright.// "Yes, later, Seth."

Seth smiled. "I'll see you then." And he exited the room.

"Yami... let's go now. That way we can have the whole day to ourselves."

"Sounds like a plan to me." And Yami captured Yuugi's lips in a quick kiss.

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

"Wow! This looks beautiful, Yami!" Yuugi praised.

Yami just smiled. He was happy his love was happy. "I'm glad you're happy."

"Yuugi!"

The boy turned around. "Grandpa! How do you like it?"

"It's wonderful. I'm sure everyone will love it here. Thank you, Pharaoh."

They watched as people filled the houses and streets. /Yami, you're the best./

//You wanna get some lunch. Your grandpa can join us if he wants to.//

"Grandpa, do you want to eat lunch with us?" Yuugi asked.

"I think I'll pass. I'd rather stay here and help everyone get settled. You two have fun."

"We will."

Yuugi and Yami turned to walk back to the Palace. "Actually, Yuugi, I have a better idea."

Yuugi heard the mischievous tone in his lover's voice. "What?"

"Let's eat in the city. We'll go grab some clothes and sneak out."

Yuugi laughed. "Sounds good."

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

"You ready, Yuugi?" Yami called from the bedroom.

"Impatient are we?"

"Just hurry."

The boy emerged from the closet. "Okay, let's go."

Yami went over to the window. "Do you want to go first?"

"Nah, you can."

The Pharaoh climbed out the window and lowered himself so his feet rested safely on the bricks. He made his way gracefully to the ground. And Yuugi followed suit.

They walked unnoticed through the streets to a small eating court. "This is a good place," Yami declared.

"How would you know?"

Yami grinned. "I have disobeyed my guards quite a few times in the past." His grin faded. "And each and every time I have heard the same speech when I returned."

"A royal life isn't all it's cracked up to be, is it?"

"Well, it's got its ups and downs. One of my ups is you. I would have never been able to meet you had I not been Pharaoh. I would have no reason to be in the prison unless I was a prisoner myself."

"Heh, who would've ever guessed that we'd be together? We make quite the odd couple."

"That we are."

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

"Mmm! You were right, Yami!" Yuugi said.

Yami laughed. "Only the best for you." Yuugi blushed at the comment. "But we do have to get back to the palace."

"Already?" the boy complained.

Yami took Yuugi's hand as they started walking back. "Don't worry, I'm pretty sure we're find something to do there."

The boy reddened even more. "Yami..."

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

The two boys snuck back into the palace with ease, just like the first time. As Yami helped get Yuugi through the window, he tripped and Yuugi ended up sprawled over Yami on the floor. "I'm sorry!" Yuugi said as he made a move to get off.

Yami grabbed him through. "It's okay. I like this." He placed a couple of kisses on Yuugi's forehead. He wrapped his arms around Yuugi and picked him up. He gently placed the younger one on the bed and followed himself.

"Just hold me, Yami," a soft voiced asked.

Yami chuckled. "I plan to, Yuugi. It'll just be you and me for the rest of they day." //As long as no guards saw us sneak in.//

He slid his hands around Yuugi's middle and gently stroked beneath the loosely fitting shirt. "I love you, Yami."

"I lo-" There was knock at the door. Yami groaned. /I guess they did see us./ Yami got off of his love and stood. "Come in!"

"Hey, Yami!"

"Mai?"

The blonde nodded. "Yeah, I convinced the guards to let me talk to you." Mai stressed on the word `convinced'.

"Thanks a bunch, Mai," Yuugi said.

She winked. "No problem. Those guards are too uptight anyway." She looked at Yami and Yuugi and noticed the state their clothing was in. "Well, I guess I'll get going."

"Bye, Mai." The Pharaoh and boy said in unison.

Yami turned his attention back to Yuugi. "Where was I?" Yuugi giggled. Yami leaned back onto the bed and let his hands resume the position they were in before the interruption. Yami started drawing circle patterns on Yuugi's stomach. /He's so gentle. It's a shame people think he's some kind of monster. He's the furthest from it. He's human, just like everybody else. He has feelings, love, sadness, sorrow, happiness, depression.../ Yuugi was soon fast asleep under the Pharaoh's soft hands.

He brought the sleeping angel closer to him and stopped moving his hands. Yami buried his face in the back of Yuugi's neck and smiled. //Any amount of imprisonment I endure is worth it if I could forever be with Yuugi. It is my wish, that no matter how many times we are reborn, we will be together.//

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

An hour later, Yuugi woke up and smiled. He felt the soft breathing of his lover on his neck. It almost tickled the younger one. He could spend an eternity like this. He took Yami's two hands in his and kissed the palms, waking Yami up. "Yuugi?"

"Hm?"

"What are you thinking about?"

"You. What are you thinking about?"

"I was wishing that, even when we're reborn, that we'll find and meet each other again."

"I wish for that, too, Yami. With all my heart and soul."

They both fell back asleep with the same thought: "We will meet each other again and again. And each time we do, we'll find love."

THE END

Y-n-Y: But wait, there's more!

Yami: :: nods :: You've still got the epilogue to write.

Y-n-Y: The epilogue will be pretty short. What I was talking about was the sequel.

Yami: When will you start writing it?

Y-n-Y: Whenever Yuugi gets off his sugar high.

Yuugi: :: calms down remarkable fast ::

Y-n-Y: That's better. Okay, everyone, tell me what you think of this story. I want the brutal truth.
