Karou: *scratches her head*

Yami: What's wrong, Karou-chan?

Karou: I am not sure what to say to your Hikari on her birthday

Yami: Huh? What about 'Happy Birthday, Yuugi!'?

Karou: Well, you answered my question, Pharoah

Yuugi: Yami. . . *blushes a little*

Yami: This is Karou's and my present to you, Hikari. *kisses her*





How Can I Forget?



"How could you?!? He cares for you so much, and this is how you treat him?!?" shouted Mazaki Karou as she held a shaking and crying small tri-colored male figure in her arms; her Mazaki dark purple eyes flashing with a sense of hate and confusion in them. "He believed that you could love him more than a friend, but there's no room in your heart because of my sister Anzu's actions!"

"I. . . I'm sorry." "Sorry isn't going to work anymore. Get out of his sight and his life forever!" demanded Karou as the tri-colored figure kept burying his face into her light pink and light blue school uniform, which was already stained with the tears that fell from the figure's closed eyes.

~~ A Few Hours Later ~~

Yami didn't know what time it was, or even how long he has been out, but his heart was devasted at Karou's comments about his actions towards his hikari Yuugi. 'Ra, what caused me to hurt Yuugi like that? Why did I ever agree to sleep with Anzu in the first place' thought Yami as he looked up at the Domino night sky; his own violet orbs filling up with sorrow and tears that threated to overspill from his eyes. "Yami? Is that you?" Yami turned his head to see that the voice belonged to the girl who caused Yuugi's depression and Karou's anger: Mazaki Anzu.

~~ Game Shop; Yuugi's Room ~~

After Yami's departure, Yuugi had finally begun to calm down from his crying; his deep violet eyes still all puffy and red from the tears that he had cried. Karou was still trying to calm him down, but she had still felt that Yami had betrayed her best childhood friend, and the Mazaki girl felt like Yami should be taught a lesson about other people's emotions and feelings. As if sensing a connection from someone, Karou turned to see that Yuugi had placed his hands on the young Mazaki's face, and she saw that his eyes were still fillled with hope.

"I know that Yami didn't mean to hurt me, Karou. After all, not everyone can truly understand how two people of the same sex can care so much towards one another." said Yuugi as the two friends were still sitting in the same spots where they were when Yami left, and Karou felt like she didn't understand what Yuugi meant. And then she remembered what he meant by his comment.

~Start Flashback~

"Hey Mazaki! Why are you hanging out with that faggot?" shouted Higura Kitai as Karou walked down the street, along with Yuugi who was hiding behind the young Mazaki, and Karou's heart felt devasted at how Yuugi was being made fun of.

"Does your sister Anzu know about that faggot?" shouted Kitai as she begun to laugh at Yuugi's emotions, and Karou couldn't stand it anymore. She walked over to Kitai, and had swung her school bag to come in contact with the girl's face; causing a major nose bleed, along with a deep red bruise on Kitai's right cheek. "You talk about my friend Yuugi like that one more time, and I will do more damage than just a nose bleed and that bruise." warned Karou as she turned around to face a very shocked Yuugi, and the two friends kept walking down the street to the Game Shop.

~ End Flashback ~

"Are you okay, Karou? Can you hear me?" Karou shook her head to see that Yuugi was looking at her weirdly, and she waved her hands in the air. "I'm fine, Yuugi. But now, I'm more worried about you and Yami." replied Karou as she turned her gaze away from the young Mutou. 'Because I have a bad feeling that something will happen, and it will involve both Yuugi and Yami.' thought Karou as she closed her dark purple eyes.

~~ Mazaki Household; Kitchen ~~

Anzu was finishing making some hot Japanese tea for herself and Yami in the light pink kitchen, and she was smiling to herself. 'I can't believe that Yami is still in love with me. But yet, I feel that his heart is torn between me and someone else.' thought Anzu as she placed the flower-decorated teapot onto a matching tray, and walked out to where a spaced out Yami was waiting. "Here you go, Yami-kun. Sorry that it took nearly forever. I just wanted to make sure that it was just right for the two of us." commented Anzu as she placed the tray down onto the dark spruce table; with Yami still not saying a single word as he just sat there in front of the older Mazaki girl.

"Big sister, I'm home! Sorry that-" Karou dropped her school bag onto the hallway floor as she saw that Yami was sitting in the living room, and her dark purple Mazaki eyes grew narrow as a defensive cat's eyes became before it went on the attack, and Anzu suddenly sense the tension between her little sister and Yami. "Um. . . Karou, why don't you go up to your bedroom? I'm sure that you have some homework that you need to complete." suggested Anzu as the young Mazaki sister and Yami kept looking at each other before Karou turned around and begun to walk up the stairs. Anzu had to sigh in relief as soon as she couldn't hear Karou's footsteps anymore, and Anzu placed a soft hand onto Yami's arm. "Sorry about that, Yami-kun. Honestly, I don't understand where Karou gets all of her anger from. She wasn't like this when she was little." replied Anzu as she begun to pour some of the Japanese tea into Yami's cup.

"'But there's no room in your heart because of my sister Anzu's actions!'" Karou's hurtful and sharp words still echoed in Yami's head as he watched Anzu pouring the Japanese tea into his cup, and he closed his deep violet eyes as he tried to reach Yuugi through their mind-link. //Aibou, are you there?// No answer came back from the young Hikari, and it only added to Yami's devasted and broken heart.

~ ~ ~

Karou's Millennium Heart glowed brightly before she opened her dark purple eyes, and she fell backwards onto the bed. 'Poor Yami. I still believe that his feelings towards Yuugi has remained unchanged, but the problem is that my sister Anzu will do anything to keep Yami for herself. And that means even getting rid of Yuugi, if it comes to that.' thought Karou sadly as she turned over on the bed, and found a picture of her and Yuugi after Marik's dark side was unleashed during Kaiba's Battle City, and the duel that changed her life forever.

~~Battle City Flashback; Hallway~~

Karou and Yuugi were standing in the hallway as they waited for the next Battle City duel to be announced. Yuugi was trying his hardest on how to tell the young Mazaki about sharing a bond and body with a 5,000 yrs old Pharaoh, and Karou was trying to hide her dark purple eyes from the young Mutou. "Karou. . ." said Yuugi, but was stopped by Karou's hand as if she was trying to tell him that she didn't really care. "Yuugi, there are some secrets that should remain secrets only to ourselves. Believe me, I know that all too well. Someday, all of our secrets will be revealed out in the open." And with that, Yuugi could only watch sadly with deep violet eyes as Karou walked away for her duel against Marik.

~~End Flashback~~

~~Living Room; 8:00 P.M.~~

As Yami quietly drank his cup of Japanese tea, Anzu smiled evily to herself from where she sat in the room. Her plan had worked perfectly, and before midnight stuck in the Mazaki household, Yami would forget all about that stupid and worthless Yuugi and fall in love with her. 'Thanks to the special potion that I slipped into the tea before I brought it out. Now all that is left is to wait for midnight to strike, and Yami will forever belong to me.' thought Anzu as she quietly drank her own cup of Japanese tea. Unknown to Anzu, a bright golden light had shone in the hallway, and a light brown haired figure was standing on the end of the stairways holding the Millennium Heart in her hands.

"So that's what my bad feeling was. I better warn Yuugi before midnight strikes." said Karou as she slowly got up from where she stood, and rushed up to her bedroom; where she found her light pink cellphone that had a Dark Magician Girl keychain on the end. As soon as she dialed Yuugi's number, Karou waited patiently for Yuugi to answer it. 'Please pick up, Yuugi-kun. It's really important that you should know what Anzu's up to.' pleaded Karou through the mind-link that she shared with Yuugi. Ever since she first was given the Millennium Heart by Shadii in Egypt, Karou slowly begun to realize that she could share a mind-link with anyone who held another Millennium Item or she could listen into another private conversation, just like Anzu's.

~~ Game Shop; Yuugi's Room~~

Yuugi was asleep on the bed when he heard Karou's pleading voice in his head. 'If you can mind-link with me, then we really don't need to use the phone, Karou-chan. Now, what do you have to tell me?' replied Yuugi as he rubbed his eyes with his one hand, and then nearly fell off the bed when he heard what came through the mind-link next. 'What? Are you serious, Karou-chan?!? Then we have no time to waste! I am on my way right now!' With that, Yuugi shut off the link and grabbed his school coat; then told his grandfather where he was going, and then ran down the street to Anzu and Karou's house.

~~ Mazaki Household; Living Room ~~

Karou was trying her hardest not to struggle as she was being held by knifepoint, thanks to an half-controlled Yami while her sister Anzu watched with pleasure in her eyes. "Poor little sister of mine. If only you kept your mouth shut, then you wouldn't be in this situation. By now, Yami-kun is halfway under my control, and when Yuugi-kun gets here it will all be too late." smirked Anzu as she eyed Yami's hands still holding the sharp butcher knife under Karou's chin, and then the three turned their heads to see that an out of breath Yuugi was standing in the hallway; his dark purple eyes widen in shock and surprise. "Yami!!" Yuugi turned his head to see that Anzu was laughing as she closed her eyes, and she covered her mouth. "I am so sorry to be laughing at you, Yuugi-kun. But Yami-kun doesn't seem to remember you. And by the time that you try to help him, he will be mine forever!" answered Anzu as Yami let Karou go, and looked at Yuugi as if he was trying to remember why the young tri-colored boy looked so familar.

"Yami-kun, do me a favor and get rid of that worthless brat once and for all." ordered Anzu as she waved her hand, and Yami's eyes went from their normal dark violet to a deep scarlet blood red before he launched at Yuugi; who tried to fight back but resulted in getting a direct wound on his left shoulder. "Yami. . . Please stop it. I know that somewhere deep down in your mind, you remember who I am. I am your Hikari, and you care for me." said Yuugi as he placed his other hand on the bleeding wound that had started to stain his coat sleeve, and then he cried out on pain as Yami knifed him in the right shoulder. "Poor Yuugi-kun. Looks like Yami-kun doesn't really care for you anymore. Finish him off, my Yami-kun." replied Anzu as Yami jumped backwards, and readied himself for the final blow. Yuugi closed his eyes and waited for his death.

"Yuugi-kun!!!" Yuugi opened his eyes to see that Karou was in front of him, and her blood spattered onto his face and Yami's, breaking the spell that held the Pharaoh. "Karou-chan. . . Yuugi-kun. . . What have I done?!?" pleaded Yami as he looked at his bloodstained hands, and fell down onto the floor as Yuugi was holding an slowly dying Karou in his arms. "Why did you do that, Karou-chan? You risked your own life for Yami and me. Why?!?" cried Yuugi as tears begun to fall from his eyes onto the Mazaki girl's soft face, and she placed an hand on his face. "You. . . are my. . . best friends. . . How else. . . could. . . I. . . protect you. . ." With that, Karou fell lifeless in Yuugi's arms and the clock struck midnight, leaving Yuugi, Yami, and Anzu alone in the Mazaki household.

~~ A Few Months Later ~~

Yuugi looked at the star-filled night sky; his dark purple eyes still filled with the depression and sorrow that he felt that painful day. Mazaki Karou, the only true friend that he ever cared for, was gone because she risked her life to save him and Yami. A pair of arms wrapped around Yuugi, and pulled him against a warm body. "How are you feeling these past months, koi?" asked Yami as he held his innocent and pure Hikari in his embrace, feeling Yuugi's sorrow wash onto him. "I still feel very confused, Yami. Why didn't Anzu feel any remorse or sadness towards her sister's death? Karou loved her like a little sister should do, but Anzu pushed her away." "Sometimes, things are better left unexplained, my Hikari." And with that, the two new found lovers shared a passionate kiss, one that was dedicated to the girl who helped them realize their feelings towards one another.

~~ Owari ~~

Karou: *is blowing her nose, and crying tears*

Yami: What's wrong with you? The story is finished.

Yuugi: Yami-kun! She's sad because she killed herself off.

Karou: But I did for you two!!!!!

Yuugi: And we're grateful for that. Right. Yami?

Yami: Yes, my sweet Hikari. *gives her a kiss*
