Yu-Gi-Oh! Fan Fiction ❯ I Love You, I Love You Not ❯ 'Kura ( Chapter 3 )

A/N: I'd like to start this note off by saying thank you to all the people who reviewed and to glare at all the people who read but didn't review. Now that that's done with, a short explanation for this chapter. The first part is just a little thing I thought up and decided to put in there. I may do more of them. A few "moment's in time" I suppose. The rest starts right around the beginning of the second chapter, it's time to see what Yami's been up too.=^.^=

"I need something else to call you."

"Why?"

"Well, Bakura just seems a little . . . impersonal. I mean now that we're going out I think I should call you something other than Ryou's last name."

"Oh alright, what did you have in mind?'

"Hmm, I can't very well call you Ryou, and Yami's already taken. I know! How about Baku! No? Okay then, what about Bakubaka?

Glare

"I guess not. Sweetheart?"

Thwap

"Ow! That hurt. I'm telling Yami. Later though. I've got it! I can call you `Kura."

"'Kura's a girl's name."

"It is not. Stop being such a baby, you know pouting won't work on me, besides `Kura's a perfectly fine name. I like it."

Yami glanced at the clock in frustration. Where was his aibou? It was well past the time the other usually got home at. If he was at Bakura's again. . . Yami didn't understand why his hikari insisted on spending so much time with the spirit of the ring. Its not like he had any redeeming qualities, at least none that Yami could see.

Pushing himself off the couch Yami went in search of the phone. Reaching a hand towards the machine he jumped in surprise when it rang. Quickly he snatched it up in hope that it was his aibou calling.

"Yugi?" He asked in a hopeful sounding voice.

"Er… no, this is Ryou."

"Oh, hi Ryou. You wouldn't happen to know where Yugi is would you?" Yami asked in a hopeful voice, praying to Ra that the answer would be yes.

"Actually I do,"

Yes!

"He's at my Yami's*."

No. Stupid tomb robber, Yami thought, stealing my hikari. Why can't you spend time with your own?

"Um, Yami?"

"Yes Ryou?"

"Well, I was wondering if you might want to come over for a little while? It gets quite boring without my Yami here and I just figured you probably had nothing to do, what with Yugi gone and-"

"Ryou?"

"Yes?"

"You're babbling."

"Sorry."

"Its okay. Ryou?"

"Yes?"

"Are you trying to ask me on a date?"

"Um. Kinda"

"Well you don't have to worry so much, I'd love to go on a date with you."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Thank you Yami."

"Don't mention it. I'll be over in a few minutes, `kay?"

"Yeah, that's great. Bye."

"Bye."

Yami placed the phone down with a sigh. He hoped Ryou wasn't too serious about this. As much as he likes the other boy, he didn't think he was capable of loving him, at least not in that way. Ryou was nice, but not for him.

At the moment he didn't know who was for him. He had thought that he liked Tea up to a little while ago. They had started going out, but as he spent more time around her he started finding out about a more shallow and selfish side of her.

It hadn't been too bad until one day when she made the worst mistake; she insulted Yugi in a most cruel way. The bitch had called him all sorts of horrible names and then had actually gone and looked at him as if asking for approval. That had been the last straw, nobody insulted his Aibou, especially not somebody who called Yugi friend. He had broken up with right then and they hadn't talked much afterwards. Rumor had that she was dating Tristan. Well he hoped they were happy.

Shaking these thoughts out of his head, Yami headed for Ryou's house, hoping he could put himself in a cheerful mood for English boy. Halfway there he was reminded of the fact that his buckle shirt, while looking good, did nothing to pacify the chill wind of November. Quickening his pace he jogged the rest of the way there and finally stood on Ryou's stoop, waiting for the young boy to open the door, as he hopped from one foot to another.

*It works better for this conversation and part of the story for Bakura to have his own place.

A/N: Sorry it's so short, I could have made it longer but I got bored so I decided to just post this. I'm sorry this doesn't resolve the Yami catching Yugi and Bakura at it, but I needed to get some Yami/Ryou action in there. Even if it was short and not really actiony. The next part should have Yami finding them and maybe some more romance between Ryou and Yami. Please review.=^.^=
