****************************************

Joey seethed with hate at the billionaire and with a hard slap around the face, he left Seto alone, abandoned. The shock of his loss of the blond had numbed him to the point where he didn't know what he was doing the next few hours. Crying long and hard he woke the next morning, his back aching whilst a dried white stain were on the bed sheets,the form of a certain long silver headed man shifted before he turned. Pegasus smiled down at him…

---------------------------------------------------

The smell of disinfectant wasn't really much help for Joey's pounding headache which was still thumping painfully. He rubbed his temple as he lay in the hospital waiting as the doctor examined him for a concussion. Serenity his little sister sat next to him looking extremely worried whilst holding his hand tightly. The doctor finished and announced that he was going to be ok but just needed to rest up a bit. Given an all clear the group had permission to leave the hospital.

"Well… we should go check in the a hotel and start off to Peking tomorrow" Yugi said. After an exhausting and hectic arrival to Hong Kong many of the group just ordered food from room service and an early night. The rooms were quite huge and extremely comfy. Bakura had decided to exploit this by making a huge racket with his hikari of a banging head board, moaning and groaning from the couple and eventually a scream upon Ryou's part causing Malik and Ishtar next door to stay awake looking a little more than annoyed. Serenity was going to be sharing a room with Isis considering they were the only girls in the group. Joey with Tristan, which strangely in any case their room had been connected with the room the two Kaiba brothers were to be sleeping in. Yugi and Yami shared their own room. Yami smiled happily when he found that the room they had were a double bed. At this moment Tenshi had popped her head out of the bag he had swung over his shoulder and mewled in hunger pitifully.

"Ssh…" Yami said. "You're not supposed to be here" he lifted the little tabby out of the bag and petted her fondly before he settled her down and got out some cat food from his bag. Yugi shook his head at Yami.

"You're hopeless you know that? Honestly you could have left Tenshi for Pegasus to take care of…" (A/N: I've got too many characters to play with already…)

"What!?!? I'm not leaving my cat alone with that one eyed hippy!!!!" Yami scowled.

"He's a changed man"

"I know but I still wouldn't trust him with Tenshi… She's got specific needs. He won't know what to do with her…" Yugi giggled whilst Yami frowned still holding the little kitten protectively. Tenshi cocked her head at her owners a little, her paws just resting on Yami's arm whilst she was sat up on her bum. "Why didn't he want to come with us anyway?"

"Well he said he'd stay to look at the docuements of the old tomb my father was investigating before he… um… you know" Yugi replied whilst stroking his locket tenderly. Yami looked down on the floor as he let a squirming Tenshi wonder after a long few hours of being stuck in a bag going into his own thoughts. "So… you mind telling me about her? Yin I mean…" Yami looked at him.

"What can I say…?"

"She must be special to you. You must've really loved her" Yugi said with a smile. Yami swallowed closing his eyes painfully.

"Yeah… I did… but I didn't deserve her…" Yugi's small smile vanished as he knelt down beside Yami who flinched a little. "I vowed to cherish and protect her….I failed… I failed her and she ended up being murdered before my eyes" Yami stared at his hands…"Sometimes… I… I could still see… her blood… on my hands". Yugi bit his lip severely regretting about mentioning it at all, he wrapped his arms around Yami.

"I'm sorry… I wasn't thinking… I should've never asked you about something so painful…" Yami pulled away and looked down as if the floor was showing something interesting. Anything to not look at those huge amethyst eyes.

"You're a lot like her you know? Gentle and innocent at the same time brave and strong. There aren't many of those kind of people and I'm pretty glad I've met two" Yugi smiled.

"Don't you mean three?"

Yugi giggled whilst Yami's confused look then turned his attention to the little kitten rolling her back on the carpet attempting to scratch an annoying itch. She paused looking at her owner staring at her with a big broad grin.

"Mueh…" she hiccoughed in an adorable fashion that instantly made Yami chuckle happily. Yami picked up the little kitten and cuddled her. It was hard to compromise how a hard hearted Pharoah could melt so easily with a tiny kitten like that.

"I wonder… why are you infactuated with cats Yami? I mean I know they are special in Egypt but the way you act towards Tenshi it looks more personal…"

Yami grinned at Tenshi who was now pawing at his gold bangs. "Well…" he started as he mentally sent the flashes of his memory to Yugi.

***********FLASHBACK*******************

A five year old Yami had sat alone with the teacher droning on and on about politics, religious customs of Egypt and other boring matters. Well to a chibi. Chibi Yami looked merely just a minature version of his usual version with the acception that he's eyes were considerably larger like any chibi. Chibi Yami was bored and had went to irritate a cricket with a piece of straw. This was however short lived as he noticed the teacher had turned his way. Without thinking he had stuffed the poor insect into his mouth to let him see that he was still paying attention. However a slap of the cane on his desk later, he had aciddently choked and swallowed the doomed cricket. Bored again and with nothing to play with anymore, he decided to silently slip away from under his desk and out into the huge garden at the centre of the palace. Butterflies fluttered passed him as he skipped about staring at the fish in the huge pond when he noticed in the distance a flash of black and white. The flash came back and forth and in the distance he couldn't make out the shape but stared hard.

"ATEMU!!!!!" the voice of his father bellowed out his name and Chibi Yami saw that he was in trouble. Indeed he was and he was made to copy a huge mountain of scrolls that night. An uproar of horror pursued that night as Chibi Yami heard tearing of flesh and tortured screaming. Frightened alone in his chamber he abandoned his punishment and made his way to a small cupboard in the corner of his sleeping chambers. Curling tightly in a ball he covered his mouth as if his very own breath could give him away. A figure slumped in as a acrid air of rotting flesh hung around the room. A hunched back skeletal figure hobbled around sniffing and snarling near where Chibi Yami was hiding. After a while there was no sound. Chibi Yami listened for a little longer before he breathed a sigh of relief. The doors of his cupboard was ripped open as a horrific sight of a rotting face, the bones of the corpse like creature showing before him. Chibi Yami screamed as the creature grabbed him at the same moment, Pharoah Nephyst and his guards had barged in staring in horror, Nephyst himself was pale at the sight of his son writing in the slimy arms of the monster, legs flailing in the air as the monster leapt out of the window accompanied by others out the window.

"ATEMU!!!!" Akunumkanon bellowed after them. "STOP THEM!!!!" The skeletal creature leapt far and wide towards the boundaries of the desert towards goodness knows where. Chibi Yami writhed and cried when finally the horrible journey was ended and he was dropped on the floor. A circle of the skeletal soldiers surrounded him, the only exit he had was blocked something totally different altogether. A young man with unnatural silver hair and intense blue eyes stared down at him behind a cloak.

"Now, that was a bit rough… you've frightened him" he scowled before he carefully picked the Chibi up. "It's alright now young one…" he whispered as his piercing gaze bore down him. A small smile played upon his lips. Chibi Yami whimpered a little as slender fingers hovered over his head for a moment. "Ssssh…" the man whispered as Chibi Yami felt himself drowsy and sinking into the man's arms, the slender fingers suddenly shaped above his forhead when a roar echoed breaking his hold upon the young chibi. A strangled cry of his men echoed as a flash of black and ethereal white. Chibi Yami turned to see a huge figure swiping claws at the army of skeletal creatures before bounding towards him. The man nearby grabbed him holding him posessively hissing angrily. Chibi Yami writhed and bit down on the man making him throw him down to the against a tree, the creature skilfully scooped the little half conscious Chibi onto her back who stealthily ran at break neck speed away.

"You foolish feline!!!" Chibi Yami heard the man hiss.

"You and the Kaiyan are not to touch this boy… Gabriel…" a voice echoed within the entity. "Or else my mistress will not take likely to this…" Gabriel narrowed his eyes hatefully as she rushed away with Chibi Yami on her back back towards the palace. He's head feeling dizzy and everything went black as he felt the wonderful watery fur upon the his rescuer's back. The next moment was dawn as Akunumkanon and his wife Anya sat beside him.

"Atemu… oh thank the gods…" Anya whispered rocking her son back and forth.

"Son… you're alright…" Akunumkanon said with a sigh of relief holding him also.

"Where the kitty go?" Chibi Yami whispered blinking looking for his saviour. Both his parents looked strangely at him.

"What kitty?"

"The kitty that bweat all the nasty mwonsters away…" he answered.

*******FLASHBACK ENDS***********

"And since that day you've been having this obsession with cats" Yugi confirmed. Yami looked worried.

"I don't look `that' obsessed with cats am I?" Yugi smiled sticking out his tongue playfully. "Well my parents never knew what was up but they never complained about it much. I never seen another cat like the one that saved me from Gabriel or felt fur like it again that is until…"

"Until what?" Yugi said eagerly… Yami sighed as he sent more memory flashes to Yugi.

********FLASHBACK**********

It was the day of the a grand event of one of the greatest nations as a ceremonious official introduction to the people of Egypt. The Prince of Egypt and future heir to the Pharoah's throne. Though it was suppose to be a introduction to see the boy for the first time but many had already known and seen Prince Atemu (A/N: I think I'll refer to past Yami as Atemu his real name to save you from confusion) in the many sham Shadow Duels played in the backstreets amongst the children. Here was also the place where he met two of his few friends outside of the palace walls of which he oftened escaped from.

The young prince frowned as he was getting ready. His glorious crown of ebony tinged with the crimson strokes at the edges and long slender gold bangs finishing the face. Some hung gracing his tanned cheek whilst others stuck out like lightening bolts whilst his crimson eyes charged with a fiery gaze were sharp and quick witted. Though he may not have revealed his identity as the Prince to any but his closest companions he had surely made much on a reputation. Merely passing the age of 8 years of age and he was already proud and dignified to that of what a future Pharoah should be. With his passion for games such as that of the Shadow Duels, which he had never lost in, and the only one person to have ever called upon the great unstoppable monster, Exodia many had already dubbed him as the King of the Games. Today though was the day of reckoning as he was to be publically shown to his future kingdom. Slowly as the awakening of a new sun rose above the horizon he sighed as his servants dressed him in the most extravagent attire that gold could provide whilst his three friends young versions of whom appeared to be Seto, Ishtar and Tristan watched with increasing amusement. They all stifled their giggles as Atemu was getting dressed for a huge ball in Atemu's honour. Pharoah Nephyst had called upon invitations to all the kingdoms around and perhaps beyond that to northern territory where the Egyptian empire had not yet touched. The servants placed the large crown onto Atemu's head which slipped down to his face making his friends burst into a fit of laughter. He pushed it back up irritantly sticking out his tongue at them. An expression that he had only ever shown to them.

"You should have some respect for your future Pharoah…" he said indignantly.

"A Pharoah that pouts?" the Tristan lookalike asked incredulously as the others burst into laughter again. Yami crossed his arms with a `humph' before he felt a tickle against his leg.

"Meow…" a slender cat of sandy gold mewled as he brushed his body against Atemu's. Atemu smiled and picked him up.

"At least Oni understands me…" he said as he stroked his pet lovingly whilst his friends gagged at his passion for the felines. They were to get ready as Atemu found himself dragged to where everyone was now watching him. He was quite a handsome young boy and many of the princesses looked rather flushed at his appearance despite being too young to know what love was. After some announcements that Atemu never really paid much attention to, he had made his way to find his friends again. He yelled for attention to young cobalt eyed brunette of a pre-incarnation of Seto Kaiba the rich billionaire but unlike Seto he was one to be quite shy and laid back, Ishtar the young blond that would one day be a Atemu himself of the Millennium Rod and Honda the hotheaded boy that would one day be incarnated as the boy known as Tristan. Time passed as the festival went on, the four boys ate and played trying to ignore the many princesses from surrounding kingdoms Atemu had never even heard before. He noticed that a brunette and a blond were starting to argue. The brunette he recognised as a princess from one of the smaller kingdoms of Egypt called Anzu (A/N: Ring a bell anybody?) whilst the blond he had no clue over. She was obviously foreign judging on the clothes alone. His curiosity got the better of him as he had inadvertently got himself dragged into the argument as Anzu had made him defend her.

"Hi Anzu…" he said lazily when he's eyes caught sight upon a head small head poking out of the pouch of the servant dressed in white who was obviously the blond girl's servant. The face was however covered by a veil. Atemu assumed him to be a a sort of a bodyguard along with two other companions both wearing, one in black and the other wearing red. The leader of the three wore a white cape hiding something else underneath.

"Who's that?" the young blond asked. She was quite pretty, her head covered with a bead bandanna lined across her forehead whilst two pigtails hung on either shoulder, her clothes a deep sea blue flowery gown of how Atemu had never seen before. Anzu was wearing the traditional Egyptian dress tunic and though pretty, to Atemu was also quite extremely posessive at times, nevertheless Atemu having being brought up to be polite was forced to keep his opinions to himself.

"This…" Anzu announced happily of having superior knowledge over the blond. "… is the prince of the richest part of our noble country…"

"Prince Atemu of Northern Egypt mistress…" the servant said to to the princess who appeared to be thoroughly annoyed of the long introductions. Yami gazed upon the servant who stared back intensely.

"Oh I see…" the blond replied. "Nice to meet you Atemu…"

"'Prince' Atemu…" Anzu corrected. The blond rolled her eyes before she turned on her heel to leave. "HEY!!!!" Anzu cried getting in front of the blond who seemed ready to kill.

"Look… I've apologised already for spilling water on you…"

"I demand you have more respect for Atemu. I'll have you know that Prince Atemu is not only the prince of the richest part of the Egypt but he's also been known as the King of th Games in this land" Atemu tried to hide his embarrassment. The blond seemed not to be impressed.

"Wow… what a coincidence, for over in my land, one of my `servants' was dubbed the `Queen' of the Games…" Anzu looked more fumed than Atemu of being insulted like that. So much so that Anzu had ordered for guards to be set upon them. A guard over 6ft tall tried to attack the young princess who was hardly even a quarter his height had toppled over as the young blond had twisted in the air jumping up and smacked him in the jaw with a tremendous force that he was thrown a good few yards down the hallway. Atemu bit his lip as Anzu was sending more guards in for the slaughter upon the powerful skills that the young princess posessed and proposed to solve it out in his own way.

"STOP!!!" he cried as the young princess looked back at the amethyst bodyguard before she stopped. "Why don't we solve this by a small wager. You know how to play Shadow Duels?"

"A little…"

"Well let's have a Shadow duel… I win you have to swap positions with your servant dressed in white where you have to clean up all after him and everything…"

"And if `I' win?"

"You won't" Anzu said. Atemu frowned at the brunette's attitude. Personally, the blond princess was just being provoked by her. They had set up and Atemu found that the blond was quite easy to beat but only seemed to slip herself out of danger by looking at the main bodyguard next to her.

"What's the matter princess? Can't take it? You could always forfeit…" Atemu mocked. The young princess gritted her teeth in annoyance.

"Ana-lohori-" the bodyguard spoke up as the princess looked at him before she swapped places.

"Wait you can't swap" Honda cried in fury. "That's cheating!!!" Atemu held him back.

"If you recall my mistress knows a little of the Shadow Duels but certainly not an expert… perhaps Prince Atemu would like to challenge someone more worthy of his mettle" replied the bodyguard dressed in white. Honda growled at what seemed to be an absolute injustice. "Then perhaps if you think it unworthy I should reset the wagers… If I win you'll need to give up that title King of Games"

"And if you lose?" Atemu asked.

"I shall give you… this" he said as he went deep into the lump inside his cape and revealed a what seemed to be a beautiful furry black and white striped ball of fur. Anzu scoffed at the pathetic excuse but Atemu realised what it was as soon as it unravelled itself into a cat with amber eyes. Looking rather bemused it explored the area looking up at the people staring at it in awe. "Her names… Tyrande"

"You think giving a pathetic animal like that is a wager?" Anzu critisised with a laugh along with just about everyone that was watching. Atemu however wasn't paying attention but just stared at the kitten… mewling cutely. Tyrande had wondered across the floor towards him her paws resting on his tanned arm.

"Mueh…" she said looking really cute. Atemu touched her fur and felt the wonderful softness of a silky water under his finger tips.

"You're on… I'll even count a draw as my loss" Atemu said silencing the rest of the of the crowd who stared at him with shock. With that though the game play seemed absolutely furious. Atemu had generally found the new player to difficult to out manouvere. Atemu quickly realised that the blond princess wasn't insulting him but was telling the truth as he had faced upon the toughest opponent he had ever had. They were evenly matched and in a way he could safely say that the person before him would rank as a worthy rival. Perhaps beat Seth as his number one rival. Some of the princesses and his own friends looked really worried as Atemu seemed to struggle against the new opponent. Eventually, the duel drew on and soon the servant layed down a Card Destruction magic card sending both player's hand to the graveyard. Atemu had no monsters on the field as he drew his hand finding to his amazement and luck of the very cards to help him win this duel once and for all. Biding his time he place them together and thus activating the ultimate monster. The Unstoppable Exodia. "Looks like I win…" Atemu said as Anzu and her friends cheered and jeered at the opponent and expecting the boy to sob and cry that he had lost however he had placed his hand calmly facing down the table and extended his hand in a handshake.

"I congratulate you Prince Atemu… you have proven to be worthy of the title of the King of the Games" Atemu smiled as he took the stranger's hand whilst the princesses continued to jeer at the `loser'. The princess in fact smiled and bowed down at a most honourable duel. Atemu felt quite furious with the princesses around him saying how much he had showed up on `those arrogant people' evidently making a fool of the poor blond princess who had not really started anything. Nevertheless he was quite glad of having won Tyrande when he realised he never even knew their names.

"Hey sorry… I didn't catch your-" he began but the princess and her bodyguards had gone.

*****FLASHBACK ENDS********

Yugi sat looking enthralled by the story in his mind. "Wow… Tristan, Ishtar and Seto…"

"I was kind of shocked when my memories returned and having knowing that Honda was Tristan's past life. They're both quite hot headed"

"That Anzu is just like Tea" Yugi shuddered. "She's horrible…"

"To be honest I thought Tea would be different at first like Kaiba is to Seth but I guess from recent events she isn't"

"And I do believe that Seto might be the same Seth that was your friend 5000 years ago" Yugi remarked making Yami frowned. He wasn't really sure. Seto hadn't been the most friendly person to him of all the group and he was definitely the person Yami least liked. Yugi looked at the time and smiled happily, a mischevious glint in his eyes that Yami had failed to noticed as he was once again playing with Tenshi. "Yami… let's go eat out" Yugi said excitedly. Yami looked a little nervous. Ever since Tea's betrayal Yami never went out much anymore with the acception of the pub that was only a block away from the Turtle Game Shop anyway. Yugi placed Tenshi in his bag and dragging his Yami out of the hotel. He called upon the taxi to take them around Hong Kong. They stopped and Yugi paid leading Yami out. Yami stared dead ahead staring at a really extravagant looking restaurant, he swallowed uneasily as Tea when they were dating had constantly dragged him off to the most fanciest restaurants making quite a huge dent in his pocket whilst his stomach was still rather empty.

"Hey Yami come on!!!" Yugi cried. Yami saw that Yugi was not intending to go to some really fancy restaurant but towards a little stall buying little kebabs skewers of various things from fried sole fish to dripping Chinese leaf in oyster sauce. It seemed Yugi knew exactly where to go and find the best places to eat for little more than a few dollars. They came upon a particular street where every stall was food related. Gongee (Chinse rice pudding which is savoury), stir-fry, dim-sum and a choice of the finest seafood cooked fresh from the tank. Yami was quite full by the time they had tried at various different stalls whilst Yugi was busy pacing the stalls looking for something. "It's gotta be here somewhere…" he muttered.

"What you looking for?"

"Something we have to try or else this whole trip is a waste of time…" Yugi said and seemed to find the stall he was looking for. "YES!!!" he ran over to the man.

"Nee-ho-ma!?!?!?" Yugi cried as he and the stall man stroke up a conversation of which Yami felt rather stupid as he listened. Yugi then went to translate his understanding through his mental link.

"-freshly made… really good quality these…" Yami caught but wondered what it was and found his nose assaulted by a horrible smell.

"Urgh what is that!?!?" he cried as he covered his nose turning himself away from Yugi who had bought two and dribbled some sauce on top.

"Stinky Tofu!!!" Yugi yelled happily. (A/N: Yes, stinky tofu does exist ppl… it's renowned to give you bad breath and smell absolutely disgusting but quite tasty if you had the guts to eat it)

"Best quality snack in all of Hong Kong" the stall man said in broken English.

"That's food?" Yami asked incredulously as Yugi passed some of his to Tenshi who had wolfed it down despite being quite full from the two of them passing food to her.

"Go on try some!!!!" Yugi said brightly at Yami as he took a huge bite from his. Yami reluctantly took up the skewer of the brown cube covered in sauce. Yami held his breath closing his eyes before taking a small pinch of the corner of the cube. He opened his eyes as he found out that it really taste as bad as he thought, he took a slightly bigger bite from it as Yugi smiled happily had gone off to chow on some dessert. Yami had finished as the stall man winked at him with a big toothy grin as he hurried after his hikari, his stomach now cramping up and becoming incredibly tight in his leather outfit. Yugi and Yami found themselves absolutely stuffed and had headed off to harbour where there was a nearby beach to hang around watching the sunset. Amazingly, they had spent upon the same amount that Yami would have to pay for just one dish at the fancy restaurant he used to go with Tea. Slowly though as they talked, the sea breeze blowing their wild hair. Coming back from the beach they found a particular area where there was a huge festival of firecrackers, lion dancing, Chinese lantern designs of all sorts of colour and shapes and sizes.

"We should really go back to the hotel… it's getting late…" Yami said looking at the time.

"Not yet…" Yugi said. "I've been trying to bide our time so I can show you something…" Yugi led Yami up quite a big hill burning off the many calories that they had crammed in down below. Slowly Yugi checked around and found a small crack in the hill. "This is it…" he said as he led Yami inside. Upon coming they had found a beautiful lake that shimmered in the cave. Yami stared in awe of the beauty "Close your eyes" Yami looked confused but did as he was told before being led meeting a cool breeze. "Ok… open them…" Yami did so and found himself outside on an isolated spot of the hill overlooking a perfect view of the lights and Hong Kong harbour. Yugi made him sit down as he stared in awe upon the beautiful sight. "And that's not all…" Yugi said. Yami looked confused when suddenly a huge whistling sound soared into the sky as the burst of a fiery display bloomed in the beatifully clear sky. Red and green and yellow flashed up in splendid wonder and ended with a huge bang. The fireworks flew high, some swirled down, some made a huge explosion in the air.

"… wow…" was all Yami could say.

"Well… we've just made it on time to see the annual fireworks display that Hong Kong holds every year at the Hong Kong Harbour and I found the perfect spot to watch it. Yugi said with massive grin on his face as he cuddled up to his Yami looking up at him happily as he watched the beautiful sky flowers bloom.

#From that land of mine

We've been apart too long

And it's been a while since I could call you

Petty arguments that I could not let go

But now I'm trying to show humility#

Yami felt his heart flutter as he drew his hikari closer to him. He had always had feelings for Yugi and it was a only recently that he finally realised it, he looked at the little angel who cuddled him tightly and how bright his wonderful smile was yet it was at times Yami had wondered if Yugi would really say those words he did in his dream, just not in such a horrific circumstance. Right now Yugi really loved him anyway and he was happy for it. It was just a thought that they could take it one step further. Yami had said how much he loved Yugi but only the fact that Yugi was asleep.

#Now if you need me

I'm not far away

Put your faith in me#

#If you feel down

Just look around

And you will find

You can put your faith in me

Just wait and see

And you'll find me

(I'll send my love)

I'm sending my love to you

From the one who cares

Put your faith in me#

"Yugi…?" Yami whispered holding onto Yugi tightly. Yugi hmmed to show he was listening. Yami wasn't sure how to put it but remembered that moment about Tea when he was in hospital. "What do you think of me?" Yugi smiled broadly, his eyes seemed to sparkle in a beautiful wonder, something that Yami thought he would never see, as the sky lit up dipping his face in a warm light.

#And it makes me smile just to talk to you again

It soars beyond my reach

The tenderness that I had lost

I forgot how to feel for a while#

"You're the best friend I've ever had Yami…" Yugi replied. "Why?" Yami bit his lip at what to do next now that Yugi had asked the question.

#Now if you need me

I'm not far away

Put your faith in me#

"I wondered if…" Yami began but losing his voice. "… if we could be something more…"

#If you feel down

Just look around

And you will find#

"More?" Yugi said sounding confused.

#You can put your faith in me

Just wait and see

And you'll find me

(I'll send my love)

I'm sending my love to you#

"As in…" Yami said getting closer…

#From the one who cares

You can put your trust in me#

And closer…

#Put… your… faith…in #

Almost touching

#mmmmeeeeee!!!!#

Yugi froze as the intensity of warm lips upon his own pressed lightly making his body shivered whilst the fireworks boomed on ahead in the sky. Lips parted slightly from Yami's tongue gently stroking Yugi's tenderly. Yugi wrapped his arms around his Yami as the wave of passion washed within him, letting out a small groan as the kiss bloomed just like the fireworks. Yugi felt himself fly inside as if he was dreaming and only waking up to find that none of this had ever happened and slowly the kiss was coming to the end, the magic of it had slowly dissolved as Yami pulled back. "… as in… like that" Yami whispered before looking down expecting the wonderful friendship to be ripped apart from his mistake, for Yugi to get up shouting in disgust yet… it never came. He turned to see that Yugi's eyes were shimmering with an absolute joy.

"I wasn't being honest with you before… I thought that… that I'd lose your friendship if I told you how I really felt…" Yugi said. "I love you Yami… I always have…" Yami felt his lungs collapse and the breath he didn't realise he was holding was let out in a joyful relief.

#If you feel down

Just look around

And you will find

You can put your faith in me

Just wait and see

And you'll find me

(I'll send my love)

I'm sending my love to you#

"I love you too Yugi…" Yami whispered. They kissed again, another miracle blessed upon them with deeper passion than their first.

#From the one who cares

Put your faith in me#
