…The Seventh Item…
Heat filled the air quickly as the kiss shared between Jou and Seto became more passionate and loving. Seto still held both of Jou’s wrists over the blonde’s head and the gap between their bodies was no longer extant. Emotions that Jou didn’t even know existed filled his mind and consumed his thoughts. Memories of when Jou first laid his eyes on Seto. He thought that the brunet was so painfully beautiful and now, feeling Seto’s warm lips against his own, he felt the same way he did on that first day. He almost whined when he heard someone cough and felt the blue-eyed boy move his lips away. He opened his eyes to see Bakura and Marik standing in the doorway with wide grins. Jou, finally taking a deep breath, truly realized what had just happened and a deep red blush flushed his cheeks. The blonde then quickly made his way through the room, staring at the floor the entire way, and when he got to the door where Marik and Bakura stood, he scooted right between them and then disappeared into a nearby room. The two intruders then redirected their attention to Seto, who was at this point extremely ticked off.
“Well, well” Bakura said with a smirk “did we interrupt something?”
Seto glared at them viciously. “I will kill both of you one day,” Seto said before walking towards both of them. He then pointed towards the floor. “Clean up this mess” he said.
Bakura and Marik looked shock. However, they didn’t get a chance to protest when they saw the expression on Seto’s face and they knew that it was for the better that they just do as he said. After both Bakura and Marik nodded, Seto exited the room and went towards the direction that Jou had gone only minutes before.
Marik and Bakura looked at each other with smiles before snapping their fingers and hearing the sound of footsteps approaching. Without even turning around, Bakura spoke to the two servants: “Pick up this mess.”
“How about you do it yourself?” came the harsh reply.
Both Marik and Bakura turned around to face Malik and Ryou.
“Hello Beautiful” Marik said as he walked up to Malik and twirled a lock of the young boy’s hair around his finger. Malik slapped Marik’s hand away and growled. “Don’t touch me!” Malik said furiously.
Ryou, on the other hand, did not forget his and Malik’s purpose for seeking out the two humans. “Why were you two so curious about where we found these items?” Ryou asked outright. He was kind of surprise at the demanding tone that he had just used and so were the others.
Bakura shrugged. “That’s just it. We were curious” Bakura said.
Malik rolled his eyes. “You’re full of shit,” he said. “Now let’s try again. What aren’t you two telling everyone else?” Malik asked with a raised eyebrow.
Marik looked at Bakura and then sighed. “I guess it’s better if everyone knows” Marik said before turning back to Ryou and Malik.
“Well” Marik began “when Yugi and Jou first arrived, I had explained to them all I knew about the millennium items. I told them that there were only six items but…I lied.”
Malik and Ryou’s face expressions told the bronze boy to continue. “There are actually seven” Marik said.
Malik looked very confused, as did Ryou. “Why lie?” Ryou asked.
Bakura then took over. “Because, the seventh item is different from the other six.”
“In what way?” Malik asked.
“Well, it’s a little confusing” Bakura said and turned to face Marik, asking him to further, explain.
Marik nodded in understanding. “Well, let’s say I wished with one of the regular six items that I was rich. Bakura could easily wish with another item that I was broke again and it would happen. Also any wishes made off of the first six items are not necessarily permanent. They can be broken by natural events. However, the seventh item guarantees a permanent wish meaning another item would have no affect on it and it could never be undone” Marik said.
Ryou nodded slowly: “So basically the seventh item has absolute power over all the others.”
Marik nodded: “So if Anzu got her hands on the seventh item, then there would be no way to stop her from doing something that would endanger everyone.”

Yugi walked out of his room and took short strides down several hallways before stopping in front of a familiar door. He didn’t bother to knock and instead just hit the door in. He glared when he saw the surprised expression of the girl who was the object of his hate.
“ANZU! Stay away from Yami!” Yugi screamed at the top his lungs. He narrowed his eyes even more when the girl smiled.
“It’s pointless, Yugi. Yami is with me now. He doesn’t love you anymore” Anzu said nonchalantly.
Yugi felt like punching the brunette right in her face. “No, Anzu, it’s not pointless. However, it is sad that the only way that you could ever get Yami to give you a second look is to put him underneath a spell.”
Now it was Anzu’s turn to glare. How did Yugi know about the items? “I don’t know what you’re talking about Yugi but if you don’t mind, I have a wedding to prepare for” Anzu said with a smile.
Yugi growled. “It won’t work Anzu! Yami and I were meant to be! And no one, especially a whore like you, will come between what we have!” Yugi said before exiting the room. The small boy then made his way over to Yami’s room and opened the door quickly. He saw Yami sitting on a chair next to the window with a distant look in his eyes.
“Yami” Yugi said softly and frowned when the taller of the two didn’t respond.
“Yami, please” Yugi said again as he approached Yami and knelt down in front of him. Once again, Yugi was completely ignored. Tears began to form in the large amethyst eyes and pour out at a steady pace.
“Yami, I love you. Please, look at me” Yugi said as more tears came out. Yami kept his gaze directed at the sea outside the window and Yugi, his heart breaking with each passing second, laid his head in Yami’s lap and cried.
